Cultivation: The Heaven's Fated Useless Genius-Chapter 68 – Work hard, and Spirit Stones are in abundance!
The spirit Little Fish was only three inches in size, with a bald head that looked incredibly cute. It blinked its big eyes and replied, "In response to the master, Little Fish is a Heaven Rank artifact. As for its abilities..."
Rubbing its bald little head, Little Fish spun around in place and smiled innocently, "Oh right, Little Fish can kill!"
Gu Feng was stunned on the spot, looking at the innocent face of this tiny spirit, yet it uttered such fierce words. He truly didn't know how to react.
Thinking carefully, this one was a spirit nurtured within the artifact, and artifacts are meant for combat and killing, so it wasn't too far off.
Seeing Gu Feng deep in thought, Little Fish naively thought he was dissatisfied with its abilities and hurriedly added, "Master, Little Fish is really powerful. Since gaining intelligence, Little Fish has followed the abbot and together we've slain 136 cultivators! Among them, the highest was a Shape-shifting Realm demonic cultivator. However, in that battle, Little Fish almost vanished into thin air."
Gu Feng nearly choked, gasping for breath, shocked to the point of coughing repeatedly.
What a joke!
This little guy was simply a murderous weapon, and it had even slain a powerful being in the Shape-shifting Realm?
Truly defying the heavens!
However, on second thought, Gu Feng realized that Master Kue had cultivated for many years, with profound cultivation. Such achievements were not surprising.
Thinking of this, Gu Feng took out the jade slip given to him by Master Kue, probing it with his divine sense to understand the various uses of this artifact.
The Three Lives Fish, as the name suggests, symbolizes past life, present life, and future life, implying past, present, and future.
Buddhism emphasizes cultivating virtue in this life, forgiving past sins, and guiding future destiny. This Three Lives Wooden Fish is a unique artifact refined from Master Kue's understanding of Buddhist teachings.
Its most basic function is to smash people, also known as Vajra Transformation. Although Buddha is compassionate, when encountering great evils and demons, he also shows wrath and forcibly suppresses them.
The first section recorded in the jade slip was a method to activate the Three Lives Fish, transforming it into a massive seal descending from the sky with the power to shatter mountains and crack the earth.
This method wasn't complicated, merely a basic technique to drive the Three Lives Fish's attack using the true core within. Gu Feng quickly grasped it after a rough deduction.
The second method made Gu Feng's eyes light up!
This method detailed how to use the spirit to assist the Three Lives Fish in casting spells, called—Primordial Spirit Sacrifice!
Master Kue described in detail the nature and strength of the Three Lives Fish's spirit.
Despite Little Fish's seemingly frail appearance, its strength was comparable to a peak Elemental Infant cultivator.
Using a unique method, Gu Feng could release Little Fish during combat.
It was inherently connected with the Three Lives Fish, allowing it to control the Three Lives Fish to cast spells on enemies, amplifying its power more than tenfold!
Quickly memorizing the method, Gu Feng was eager to try it out. If Yan Wushuang, that bastard, hadn't fainted, he would have liked to test it on him first.
As for the last method, it was quite intriguing. It was about activating the Three Lives Fish artifact to manifest the Dao of Time, using the Three Lives Great Dao of past, present, and future to attack enemies within the chaotic flow of time, trapping them in the cycle of reincarnation.
This drove Gu Feng crazy. This was an embodiment of the Dao of Time, and for a mere Golden Elixir Realm cultivator like him to drive it was like reaching for the stars. Insufficient cultivation was one thing, but the lack of understanding of the Dao of Time was the real flaw!
If this method were comprehended to a profound level, it could even temporarily reverse and pause time during combat, which was incredibly powerful.
Unfortunately, Gu Feng could only sigh with regret, as it seemed beyond his reach for now.
Putting away the jade slip, Gu Feng patted the Three Lives Fish with joy, causing the spirit Little Fish to frown.
After a pause, Little Fish timidly said, "Master, Little Fish has something to say."
Coming back to his senses, Gu Feng replied, "Ah, what is it?"
Little Fish hesitated, glancing at Gu Feng, then gritted its teeth and expressed its concern.
It turned out that to maintain its spiritual form, the spirit needed to consume the master's true core as sustenance, requiring a vast amount daily.
In the past, Master Kue's deep cultivation made it seem like no big deal.
But Gu Feng was merely at the Golden Elixir Realm, and Little Fish worried that his shallow cultivation might not sustain it.
Thus, it hadn't absorbed any true core for several hours, and now, starving, it had no choice but to tell Gu Feng the truth.
Gu Feng felt a headache coming on. Indeed, he already had the Innate Dao Embryo, a glutton, within him. Although it was a seven-colored Golden Elixir, the speed of condensing true core was nowhere near as fast as Master Kue's.
He finally understood why the more precious and powerful the artifacts and cultivation methods, the higher the cultivation requirements for the user.
As the saying goes, if one's virtue doesn't match their position, they shouldn't take on tasks beyond their capabilities.
Advanced techniques naturally require powerful strength to match, otherwise, one might suffer backlash.
If Gu Feng's true core were all absorbed by this little guy, he would be in grave danger during combat.
However, he couldn't let Little Fish starve. If this continued, its intelligence might be at risk, quietly disappearing.
"Does it have to be true core? Is there no other way?" Gu Feng asked.
Little Fish awkwardly lowered its head, thought for a while, and said, "There is an alternative, but it's even harder than reaching the heavens."
Seeing there was still a way, Gu Feng immediately became hopeful and asked, "Tell me about it."
Little Fish gave a bitter smile and replied, "As long as the master can provide enough Superior Grade Spirit Stones, Little Fish can barely use spiritual energy as food. However, the quantity needed is even greater than true core, something ordinary cultivators can't afford..."
Gu Feng felt a surge of joy in his heart; so spirit stones could solve the problem!
This was too easy!
In fact, Little Fish wasn't wrong. Ordinary cultivators couldn't possibly have so many spirit stones, and even if they did, they wouldn't be so extravagant as to feed them to a spirit!
Spirit stones are the crystallization of heaven and earth's spiritual energy.
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
Cultivators need them to sustain their cultivation, and the path of cultivation mainly revolves around cultivation resources!
And spirit stones are the most fundamental cultivation resource in the cultivation world.
Aside from the four exalted Holy Lords of the four great continents, who would be such a prodigal to squander precious spirit stones?
But Gu Feng could!
Currently, his wealth, although not surpassing the Divine King of the Eastern Region, was definitely the first below the Divine King!
The Loan Treasure Pavilion in Heroic Spirit City, along with the Sharing Flying Sword project gradually popularized after the establishment of Immortal Spirit Communication, brought him a massive daily income of spirit stones.
Earning hundreds or thousands of spirit stones from a single cultivator might be extremely difficult, as everyone lived frugally, saving up their remaining cultivation resources for daily practice.

However, earning one or two spirit stones from each cultivator was very easy!
As long as you can provide corresponding services and benefits, the cost of one or two spirit stones is negligible to everyone, and they are generally willing to pay.
In the market of capital, qualitative change never comes as quickly as quantitative change!
Harvesting the chives at the bottom is where the real huge profit lies!
The principle is simple, yet the cultivators of this world find it hard to understand.
"Hahaha! This is too easy!"
With a hearty laugh, Gu Feng casually tossed out a large pile of Superior Grade Spirit Stones, over a hundred in total.
"See if these are enough? If not, there's more!"
Little Fish was stunned, not expecting its new master to be such a tycoon, with such a stylish way of throwing spirit stones. It nodded repeatedly, "Enough, enough! These are enough for Little Fish to feed on for over a month!"
Spinning around in place, all the spirit stones in the tent were absorbed into Little Fish's body, though it was unclear where they went.
Little Fish bowed repeatedly, happily saying, "Thank you, master, for the reward. Little Fish won't have to go hungry anymore."
Gu Feng smiled with satisfaction and said, "Little Fish, focus on serving me from now on. As for spirit stones, there's plenty!"
Tears of joy almost fell, and Little Fish was so happy it nearly jumped up, nodding, "Little Fish obeys!"
At this moment, it finally understood why Master Kue entrusted it to Gu Feng.
With such financial power, as long as Gu Feng didn't unexpectedly perish, the day it achieved a physical body was just around the corner!
