Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman

Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Level 2 Fishing Point!

Su Ping was headed for an island named Black Tortoise Island.

It was an expanse of nearly a hundred square kilometers, making it one of the larger islands among the Overseas Islands.

The island was home to a fishing village with about two hundred people.

According to the records Su Ping could find, Black Tortoise Island had once been the headquarters of the Xuanwu Sect from Ancient Times.

At its peak, the Xuanwu Sect was rumored to have had Immortals who received tributes from thousands of sects, making it a top-tier sect.

However, as time passed and the sect’s strength declined from one generation to another, it was eventually destroyed for resisting the tyranny of Immortal Chiyuan.

It was said that in that battle, the spirit vein of Black Tortoise Island was extracted, and the remnants of the Xuanwu Sect were obliterated with a single sword.

From then on, the Immortal Cultivation World no longer had the legacy of the Xuanwu Sect.

Only leaving behind this deep pit on the island that connected to the ocean, forming an inland Heavenly Pond.

Silently telling outsiders that an ancient Immortal Sect once existed here.

The fishing boat carried Su Ping to a simple port on Black Tortoise Island.

Before it had even stopped, Su Ping took out a gold piece again and gave it to the old fisherman, asking him to wait for a day. With a light leap, he crossed the wooden bridge and plunged deep into the island.

Leaving the fisherman’s children staring in astonishment.

“Immortal… Immortal Master? He really is an Immortal Master!”

The fisherman’s elder son was so frightened that his face turned pale, and his mind turned to mush.

Su Ping was sprinting along the way and in just a few minutes, he stood by the edge of the Heavenly Pond.

Here, Su Ping noticed many dilapidated straw huts and tiled houses that had not been cared for in many years.

It was rumored that because of the Xuanwu Sect’s fame, many Loose Cultivators and even Outer Sect Disciples who sought opportunities had come in hopes of good fortune.

Some of them had simply settled down near the Heavenly Pond.

But as the spiritual energy gradually thinned in the Overseas Islands, even the Loose Cultivators could not endure and chose to give up.

At this moment, aside from Su Ping, there was no one else by the vast expanse of Black Tortoise Island’s Heavenly Pond.

“Protect me, mighty Fishing Man!”

Su Ping took out his fishing gear from his storage bag, took a deep breath, and cast his hook high into the air.

Splash!

As the fishing hook plunged into the sea water of the Heavenly Pond.

The exciting message finally popped up for Su Ping!

He almost let go of the fishing gear in excitement!

[New Fishing Point Activated!]

[Current Fishing Level: 3rd Tier (440/1000)]

[Current Fishing Point Rating: Second Tier Low Grade]

[Current Fishing Point Accumulated Fishing Times Available: (200/200)]

[Fishable Species Available: Small Striped Fish, Large Striped Fish, Flowing Pattern Golden Dragon Fish, Young Black Tortoise]

“It’s actually a Second Tier Fishing Point!”

“A Second Tier Fishing Point can accumulate 200 fishing times, and the first three types of fish available have changed.”

“The fourth type, the Young Black Tortoise, must be the specialty fish of this place.”

“A Black Tortoise, it seems to be in the category of Divine Beasts, I didn’t expect to also fish this out!”

“I, the Fishing Man, am mighty indeed!”

Filled with joy, Su Ping sat down with crossed legs and began to fish.

With the Fishing Point being Second Tier Low Grade, the time it took to fish also increased.

Two hundred times, Su Ping fished from noon straight until one or two o’clock in the morning, before he completed these attempts.

When Su Ping saw that the Fishing Point limit was depleted and a prompt for next visit appeared, he ended his fishing session.

His fishing experience had by then increased to:

[Current Fishing Level: 3rd Tier (640/1000)]

Meanwhile, the fishing warehouse had gathered 120 Small Striped Fish and 80 Large Striped Fish.

Small Striped Fish and Big Bluefish had similar value, each could be exchanged for five Fishing Coins.

Large Striped Fish, however, had doubled in value to ten Fishing Coins.

Su Ping took out a Small Striped Fish and a Big Striped Fish respectively.

Visually, the Striped Fishes were a type of Spirit Fish with silver peculiar patterns along their elongated bodies.

The small one weighed about half a pound, while the big one did not exceed two pounds.

Having tried both the Little Green Fish and the Big Bluefish before, Su Ping did not hesitate to prepare them simply under the cover of night and began to indulge.

The texture of the Striped Fish was somewhat like salmon.

It tasted best served raw.

After eating, it first felt cool, and as this coolness reached his stomach,

it suddenly transformed into a stream of pure Spiritual Liquid, flowing throughout his body.

Su Ping almost cried out in comfort:

“This feeling, it’s a bit like the Green Wood Spirit Liquid from the Immortal Sect. Not only can it quickly replenish lost Mana, but it also acts like the Nourishing Yuan Pill in increasing Cultivation.”

“The price is about the same as top-grade Nourishing Yuan Pills, and it requires Merit as a precondition for exchange!”

“If this fish could be sold!”

“Forget it, forget it. If I dared to sell such a Spirit Fish, I’m afraid even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would be jealous!”

Su Ping quickly shook his head, sincerely abandoning the overenthusiastic idea that had just popped into his head.

Even if it couldn’t be sold, he could still eat it or exchange it for Fishing Coins.

Consuming pills while eating Striped Spirit Fish.

Su Ping felt that his modest goal of achieving Foundation Establishment within a year was becoming more and more likely!

It’s just that after upgrading the Fishing Point to the Second Tier, the refresh time also lengthened.

A First Tier Fishing Point refreshed weekly, with 50-70 times each time, with a limit of 100 times, and it would be full every two weeks.

Second Tier Fishing Points refreshed every two weeks, with each refresh yielding 50-100 times and a maximum limit of 200 times. It would take at least four to a maximum of eight weeks to reach full capacity!

However, this was within reason, as games are always like this: the higher the level, the more difficult and time-consuming the upgrades.

If he encountered Third or Fourth Tier Fishing Points in the future, the refresh times would likely be even longer!

Fortunately, the value of the fish provided would also increase.

“This Mysterious Turtle Island Fishing Point can wait; visiting here once each month from now on should suffice.”

“What’s more crucial is that the activation of this Fishing Point suggests that my previous guess was likely correct.”

“Apart from the newbie benefits of Frost Moon Lake and the reservoir, recognized Fishing Points in the Fishing Man game must at least be related to Grotto Heaven Blessed Land where Ancient Immortal Sects were located!”

“If that’s the clue to follow, then easy… easy my foot!”

“Except for places like Mysterious Turtle Island where the Spirit Vein is gone and no sect remains, which isn’t a stronghold’s Forbidden Land?”

“Even those suddenly emerging Ancient Secret Realms, once the dangers are cleared, are eyed by the major powers.”

“Eventually, it’s still due to being too weak.”

“Can’t even play in the big leagues, let alone… overturn the board!”

After slightly shaking his head to calm himself,

he summoned Wen San, asking it to stay here as a backup teleport point.

Then, Su Ping released a group of controlled mice to scatter around the island for surveillance.

After setting up, Su Ping entered the Pot Cave Heaven, beginning his Body Refining tonight with the rich Spiritual Energy.

In the hot spring pool, he placed a total of fifteen Body Tempering Medicine Bags.

Under Su Ping’s Mana activation, these Medicine Bags were drained of their medicinal properties within the night.

Then, Su Ping absorbed these properties, which gathered with the forces of Qi Blood Pills and waste pills, furiously flushing every inch of Su Ping’s body tissues.

By dawn, Su Ping opened his eyes, feeling a certain restlessness deep within his body.

Realizing this was an opportunity for a breakthrough, Su Ping knew precisely what he needed. He immediately took out a Purification Potion and dripped a milliliter onto his tongue.

The next second, as Su Ping’s body shook, his skin emitted scorching black vapors. His presence dramatically soared and expanded.

Half of the pool’s medicinal water surged into the air, forming a curtain of waterfalls.

As all the Medicine Bags burst and their powders spilled out,

Below the mist, Su Ping exhaled a long, turbid breath. His eyes sparkled brilliantly, and his skin faintly radiated a silvery-white luster:

“Body Refining Fifth Layer, accomplished!”
