Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman

Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Setting Sail!

“Rise!”

In the depths of the night, within a mountain-enclosed deep mountain pool,

a two-meter-long silver big fish was hauled up as Su Ping, dressed like a Fishing Man, uttered a soft chant.

This big fish was a Spirit Fish, possessing Spiritual Wisdom and at the First Layer of Qi Cultivation.

It had been thriving in this spirit pool, where the Spiritual Energy was scarce and few Loose Cultivators were willing to visit.

Those who could fish wouldn’t come, and those who came couldn’t fish.

Little did it expect to encounter an aberration like Su Ping who went night fishing everywhere.

Moreover, this aberration had two Spiritual Rats with innate talent in exploration to assist him.

It was thus exposed in an instant, and as Su Ping tried fishing and found there were no new Fishing Points, he conveniently fished it up.

“I have even caught a Spirit Fish… yet I still haven’t found a Fishing Point.”

“It seems more and more likely that the two initial Fishing Points were beginner’s benefits.”

“The true Fishing Points that can be recognized are probably going to be sources of water with some special characteristics!”

Su Ping looked at the Spirit Fish bound tightly by the fishing line, and as he pondered, he started making a fire, preparing to grill the fish.

He was not short of low-tier demon beasts now.

He even had the Dragon Species Abnormal Beast, the Big Black Fish.

Tens of minutes later,

Su Ping by the pool gently let out a satisfied burp.

After stowing away the unfinished grilled fish into his storage bag, Su Ping took advantage of the fullness to begin his Body Refining exercise for the night.

Not having a formal Body Cultivation technique, Su Ping could only refer to the methods of Mortal World Martial Artists and combine them with his own to create a set of cultivation techniques suitable for himself.

As for effectiveness, Su Ping felt that it was quite good. Each session of exercise would allow him to feel his physical strength slowly improving.

When Body Refining was completed, he relied on Cultivation breathing techniques in place of sleep.

The sky was not yet fully bright, and Su Ping had already risen to continue on his journey.

“Hmm, that ahead is Golden Sword City, isn’t it?”

“If Ji Family’s map is correct, upon seeing Golden Sword City, the coastline shouldn’t be far.”

Su Ping emerged from the mountains and finally saw the official road, as well as the majestic city on the horizon.

It was a giant city, even larger than Golden Sparrow City, with a colossal sword made of golden-yellow rock standing hundreds of meters high at its center!

Golden Sword City was therefore famous in the Immortal Sect Territory.

According to historical records, this place was once the capital of a nation among the Thirty-Six Countries.

Alas, with the vicissitudes of time and the dwindling concentration of Spiritual Energy near the coastal areas,

not even a workshop remained near Golden Sword City.

Though large, the city held the lowest status in the eyes of Cultivators.

Even old cultivators would avoid being Inspectors in such places as much as possible.

“This Immortal Sect Territory once had a Spirit Vein, otherwise it could not have served as the capital.”

“It’s a pity no one knows what happened that led to such a decline.”

Su Ping curiously surveyed the direction of the city.

Approaching Golden Sword City, Su Ping suddenly felt a shiver in his heart.

Under the early warning perception provided by the Spiritual Rats White and Grey in his sleeve,

as the distance closed, Su Ping could vaguely sense that there were several Cultivators hidden within this mortal city, at least at the Middle Period of Qi Cultivation!

“A place where even Outer Sect Disciples in the Early Period of Qi Cultivation would not wish to stay has people in the Middle Period coming?”

Several hypotheses flashed through Su Ping’s mind, but he stopped approaching Golden Sword City.

He had originally intended to take a combined photo under the Great Sword made of rock, and then see if there were any wells or fountains for fishing to try his luck at a miracle.

But since so many others had come before him,

he, the good Samaritan Su Ping, naturally wouldn’t disturb their fun.

“I’ll come back next time,”

Su Ping once again set in motion, but this time he headed straight for the coastline.

Along the way, Su Ping saw several more towns.

Fortunately, there were no cultivators showing up in these places, and Su Ping, along the way, bought maps and information from the local tyrants of these areas.

“According to the information from these local tyrants, recently, there have been huge convoys passing through and even stopping to resupply from time to time,”

“This sounds very much like the Yun Family’s doings!”

“It seems it’s not only the Yun Family, other Immortal Cultivation families have also been relocating their people to the coastal areas during this period.”

“Those acquaintances from the Outer Sect seem not to be close enough, pretending to know nothing about this kind of news.”

Su Ping snickered, then looked towards the fishing town port he had reached after three days and nights.

The seas of the Immortal Cultivation World were far more dangerous than those of Water Blue Star.

It wasn’t just the treacherous and changeable bad weather condition that had to be feared, but also the Sea Beasts that lurked deep in the ocean!

However, perhaps due to the scarce spiritual energy in this region of Immortal Sect Territory, even Sea Beasts were reluctant to come near the coast.

As a result, the near-shore fishing industry had been able to develop, leading to numerous harbors and fishing towns that depended on fishing for their livelihood.

Su Ping summoned Wen Yi and hid him in the woods, using him as a temporary teleportation point just in case.

Then, with newfound confidence, he went to the port town to find a fishing boat that could take him to his destination island.

And after taking out a piece of gold,

The Fishing Man who had planned to wait until a full crew was assembled before setting sail immediately dropped the fishnet in his hands. He began to shout for his children, all part of the same family, to raise the sail and row the boat, slowly departing from the port.

In these port towns, it was not uncommon for a whole family to live on a single fishing boat.

Several hours later, Su Ping, who was fishing on the deck of the fishing boat, could no longer see the blurry outline of the port.

Inside the cabin,

The Fishing Man’s youngest daughter, responsible for serving tea, pouring water, and cooking meals, stole glances at the fishing Su Ping as she took a break from her chores:

“This person is really odd; can he actually catch any fish like that?”

“Heh, people like him don’t even use bait, it’d be strange if he managed to catch any fish in these waters!”

“I bet he’s one of those lordly types like the one from next door Yu’s Family encountered. In the end, he’ll definitely buy a big fish from us and then go ashore claiming he caught it himself!”

“I think it’s different,” the young daughter whispered, shaking her head slightly as she heard the voice of her older brother tinged with jealousy.

“What’s different about it?”

“Don’t know, but it just is, at least he looks good when he’s fishing!”

“…”

Suddenly, the Fishing Man’s eldest son went silent.

Indeed, the atmosphere and appearance of this wealthy guest were not like those young masters.

He somewhat resembled the Immortal Masters described by storytellers.

But how could that be possible? Those exalted Immortal Masters all had their own fleets and traveled on grand ships.

How could they come into contact with them?

While fishing in the vast ocean, Su Ping dismissed the idle chatter he overheard with indifference.

His mind was more focused on the Fishing Point.

He had tried fishing on the shore, but there was no response.

So he chose to fish from the moving fishing boat, constantly changing the fishing spot as they traveled.

However, it seemed that the Fishing Point was not something that would just show up with such small tricks.

“Sigh, never mind,”

“Once we reach the destination island, I’ll go check the Heavenly Pond in the middle of the island and then I’ll know.”

“That is the remnant of an Ancient Immortal Sect, and it’s also a source of water.”

“If the Fishing Point is related to the right time and place, then maybe there I’ll get a pleasant surprise.”
