Chapter 462 Magical Bait

"Bait? You can buy a bunch of this stuff on the shore for ten spirit crystals."

Helian Yingjie let out a blatant laugh.

They had been preparing for this fishing competition for a long time, but few people paid attention to baiting the area.

The reason is simple: they are fishing for sea monsters weighing tens of thousands of kilograms. If they use too much bait, it will arouse the suspicion of those clever guys.

Therefore, everyone's focus is on the fishing hooks and bait.

Ye Kang smiled slightly and took out the bait jar that Fang Yu had given him.

"This is my treasure for baiting. As the saying goes, if you don't bait your fishing spot, you won't catch many fish. My bait is a secret recipe that most people wouldn't know about."

"You mean we're all just ordinary people?"

"I didn't mean that, Brother Helian, please don't take it personally."

Ye Kang's mysterious expression immediately intimidated those around him.

Meanwhile, on the island above, at the "head" of Tian'ao Island.

Several elderly men, well past sixty, were watching the group of geniuses below with great interest.

One of them stroked his beard and laughed, "Indeed, a great era is coming. There are far more geniuses among the younger generation than we did back then."

Another man, without a beard but with a face full of scars, sneered: "This is not a good sign. The more geniuses there are, the faster our doomsday will come. Didn't Nie Qing say that if we don't seek change, the Coral Islands and the Great Jin will become a living hell?"

"Brother Wan, don't dampen our spirits today. Although the road ahead is fraught with difficulties, aren't these young people our hope? Take the little girl from the Wuji Sword Sect, for example. I suspect she's the game-changer Nie Qing was talking about. Look at her, she's calm and collected, and she's already caught several big fish without us even realizing it."

All of them were top-notch experts; with a slight thought, they could take in the entire scene below.

Jian Xin cast her fishing rod, and a moment later, she pulled it up, bringing a small fish weighing a thousand pounds ashore.

The experts all smiled and said, "Master Huangye is right. With such great fortune, his future is bound to be extraordinary."

At this moment, Chi Xinzi, the founder of the Crimson Sword Sect, suddenly raised an eyebrow and revealed a look of disgust.

"What's that smell? It's so familiar!"

A moment later, the others also frowned as an extremely disgusting stench filled their noses.

There was no way around it; their strength was too great. With just a slight activation of their senses, even the faintest scent below could be easily transmitted to their noses.

At this point, even the most skilled fighters couldn't hold back any longer.

"I remember now! Yuan Sheng! Isn't this the bait that brat from your sect made last time?"

"Yes! I remember that too. You, Yuan Sheng, dare to come again! This thing stinks and pollutes the competition!"

The group of powerful figures glared angrily at the robust old man sitting on the far right.

It was Yuan Bahai's father, the Grand Elder of the Tyrant Whale Sect, Yuan Sheng.

He picked his nose and said nonchalantly, "What? There's no rule against using bait. You guys use plenty of bait when you're fishing for crabs, so why can't my disciple use it?"

Yuan Sheng is indeed Yuan Bahai's father; their shamelessness is exactly the same.

Everyone frowned deeply, but no one dared to refute them.

In the end, it was the venerable Master Huangye who smoothed things over, saying, "It's alright, it's alright. If the children like to play, let them play. Last time, that kid didn't catch anything big even though he used this. It's nothing."

"Hmph! I'd like to see which brat has done this this time!"

The group tacitly extended their divine senses.

And the one who created this smell was naturally Ye Kang.

To disgust the Helian brothers, he was the first to open the jar.

Boiling corn with cow dung that has been fermented for decades, combined with other medicinal herbs to create a superb feed, has tremendous destructive power.

In an instant, all the Divine Sea Realm warriors on the surrounding reefs covered their noses.

The Helian brothers, who were closest to Yao Jingting, were particularly ashen-faced.

"You bastard! What are you doing! Hurry up and cover it up!"

Ye Kang laughed and said, "This is my secret bait. What, it's not good?"

"You're talking nonsense! What's the difference between this stuff and manure?!"

"Oh my! Brother Helian is truly brilliant. You're right, there's no difference, this is cow dung."

"Take it, take it!"

Helian Yingjie was completely numb. Not only was he close by, but the wind was also blowing in his direction. As soon as the sea breeze blew, the smell hit him, almost making him completely saturated with the aroma.

He stood up abruptly, his face turning green.

"You deliberately!"

"Brother Helian, what do you mean by this? I'm just fishing." Ye Kang casually tied a huge fishhook, baited it with fresh fish meat, and cast it out.

Helian Yingxiong also said with a dark face, "Fellow Daoist Wang, are you deliberately trying to disgust us? How could you possibly catch any fish with this kind of bait?"

"Oh?" Ye Kang's eyes turned cold: "What will you do if I manage to catch it?"

Helian Yingxiong sneered, "I will apologize to you. If you can catch a fish weighing ten thousand catties, this fishing rod in my hand, which was made at great expense, will be yours."

He admired his fishing rod as if it were a priceless treasure.

Ye Kang smiled and said, "Okay, you said it yourself."

After he finished speaking, he activated his inner energy, and a large number of black, unidentified objects poured out of the jar and were thrown towards the distant sea.

The stench was overwhelming, and many people around were already cursing loudly.

Even Yao Jingting is considering whether to leave and move to another place.

Ye Kang, however, remained calm and took the fishhook back, then hooked a lump of fish meat onto it again.

However, at the moment the hook was attached, a speck of yellow powder appeared in Ye Kang's hand from the ancient jade artifact, and he smeared it onto it as well.

Yes, it was that unidentified yellow soap he got at the canal market.

Since obtaining that thing, it has been invincible, helping Ye Kang kill the demon wolf and the giant rat. No demon or monster can resist its allure.

Although I don't know if it will work on marine mammals, it wouldn't hurt to scrape off a little powder and try it.

Soon, he cast his line again, and the hook landed in the area where he had just baited the fishing spot.

Meanwhile, beneath the surface of that sea, countless small fish were driven away by the stench.

But Ye Kang wasn't worried, because his powerful divine sense had already detected that a large fish was swimming towards them from a thousand meters below.

The large fish was entirely red, resembling a grouper, except that its back was covered with a heavy layer of armor, and its head was also covered with armor.

It swam down and happened to smell the aroma of corn cooked in cow dung.

Without hesitation, the big fish turned and tried to run away.

But the next second, the fishhook fell into the water, and the yellow powder released a fragrance when it came into contact with the water, which immediately made the big fish tremble.

It stared incredulously at the sea above.

It smells awful, but it also smells kind of nice...

For some reason, its instincts drove it to swim upwards, opening its mouth wide as it frantically tried to devour the flavor that drove it mad.
