Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman

Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Body Refining Fifth Layer

“After reaching the Fifth Layer of Body Refinement, can I really recover my energy automatically?”

Su Ping quickly noticed something unusual about his body.

With each breath, the Ten Directions Strong Body Technique in his body would activate on its own, continuously generating streams of heat.

These streams of heat could be transformed into energy at any time, enhancing his explosive power or replenishing his stamina.

It was almost like having an additional stamina bar that could recover quickly—a cheat in itself.

It even felt a bit like the inner strength described in the Water Blue Star novels.

But this was not something Cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation World had, they only possessed strong qi and blood, more durable bodies, higher endurance, and greater explosive strength.

“Most likely it’s the one-tenth of the Ten Directions Annihilation Body in me that is having an effect.”

“The influence of the Sacred Body is really overbearing and useful, and this is only one-tenth of it.”

“No wonder the true Ten Directions Annihilation Body can directly become the Saint Heir of the Ten Directions Sect, destined to become a Nascent Soul Ancestor as long as they don’t die young!”

“Now, with just the physique brought by the Fifth Layer of Body Refinement, I already have the confidence to fight and even defeat my own sixth layer Qi Cultivation self!”

“Perhaps, it’s time to look for some secret Body Cultivation Techniques to learn ahead of time?”

After slowly adapting to the physical changes and surprises brought by the Fifth Layer of Body Refinement.

Su Ping put on a clean Taoist robe, then left the Pot Cave Heaven and made his way back to the fishing boat.

During the period, some villagers also saw Su Ping.

Although curious, they found it nothing unusual.

With the Heavenly Pond on Mysterious Turtle Island, these high-coming and going Taoists and monks, as well as young male and female heroes, show up every few years.

But each wave comes and goes quickly.

The Heavenly Pond on Mysterious Turtle Island never disappoints in disappointing Cultivators.

Of course, Su Ping the Fishing Man was an exception.

The journey was smooth and uneventful.

No Sea Beasts or pirate ships came out to trouble Su Ping.

However, when nearing the shore, Su Ping noticed a sizable convoy had arrived in town.

There were also more than ten large ships, seventy to eighty meters long, anchored offshore, seemingly waiting for the convoy’s people to be ferried over by smaller boats.

First, he retrieved the Wen Bird he had left behind when he went to the island. Su Ping climbed high and saw the flags on the tower ships and those in the town’s convoy:

“Dongli?”

“The Dongli Family that cultivates female Cultivators in the Hundred Treasure Workshop to run member stores and earn Spirit Stones?”

“This family’s power is much greater than the Yun Family of Nine Leaf Mountain!”

Su Ping became alert and quickly left the scene.

On the deck of a large tower ship.

A Qi Cultivation Perfection great cultivator in an exquisite robe gently exclaimed while observing a Copper Mirror he held in his hand.

Two older men, who were in the late phase of Qi Cultivation, immediately approached him:

“Clan Leader, have you noticed something amiss?”

“It’s nothing, I just observed a mid-stage Body Refinement Cultivator passing by.”

“However, his vitality is quite remarkable. If the timing had been right, I would definitely have visited him personally. If he were unmarried, I would have married him to my granddaughter!”

“Marrying your granddaughter?”

The two elders were not surprised by the Clan Leader’s decision to marry off his granddaughter. Their Dongli Clan had developed to its current position because in-laws had contributed at least half of their success, with the remaining half due to the Clan Leader’s wise and valiant leadership, respected by all branches of the family.

They were curious about the Body Cultivator in the mirror and how high his talents might be.

“It’s a pity, now is a critical moment, it is not suitable to introduce uncertainties.”

The Dongli Clan Leader shook his head slightly, refocusing on the convoy waiting to board the ship at the harbor.

Those convoy goods were the reliance for the Dongli Family in case of real trouble, which would allow them to rise again!

Rumble!

As Su Ping was halfway along, it suddenly started storming, turning into a thunderstorm.

In the thunderstorm weather.

Su Ping looked at the bolts of terrifyingly powerful thunder.

Yet in his heart, a strong desire suddenly surged.

It seemed his body craved the baptism of thunderbolts to hasten its growth!

Su Ping paused for a moment and realized that this was just ordinary thunder, not the enhanced Heavenly Thunder of the rumors.

Su Ping couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief,

“Tsk! One must not act rashly!”

“How else could one continue to survive cautiously?”

“Thunderbolt Body Refinement is something only geniuses with a complete Sacred Body can undertake.”

“I am merely one-tenth, and if I can only preserve one-tenth of myself intact, that would be a huge loss!”

“Besides, it is just ordinary thunder. Knowing that after the Fifth Layer of Body Refining one can perform Thunderbolt Body Refinement, I could completely go back to Water Blue Star and get a set up to refine gradually.”

“By then, I could even control the voltage myself, and scientific refinement is much safer than reckless thunderbolt methods.”

“It’s also much more convenient since I can create the perfect conditions myself.”

As Su Ping collected his gaze and prepared to continue on his journey, he suddenly, with the help of Spiritual Rat White and Grey, detected the sound of a pursuit coming from the dense forest not far away.

Su Ping initially decided not to get involved.

The territories of Immortal Sect had grown increasingly chaotic, and the waters ran deeper; protecting Golden Sparrow City was kindness enough.

However, Su Ping quickly realized that those being pursued were the Loose Cultivators of the Ji Family.

The ones chasing them were merely a few Loose Cultivators and a group of Martial Artists.

It seemed like a trivial issue, the fighting among Loose Cultivators and Martial Artists in this Mortal World, where even cultivators at the late stage of Qi Cultivation or Foundation Establishment Cultivators would not step in!

In a flash, Su Ping had transformed into a remnant shadow and left the spot.

Inside the dense forest,

Ji Kui of the Ji Family, covered in blood, was running rapidly.

He was originally assigned to lead the caravan to trade with a certain wealthy family.

The two parties had been cooperating happily for several decades.

Seeing a familiar face at the gate, Jikui let down his guard,

only to realize that as soon as their caravan entered the inner courtyard of the mansion outside the city belonging to the wealthy family, it was full of strangers armed with weapons.

Loose Cultivators had even occupied the high points, aiming specially made bows and arrows at their experts!

Realizing the dire situation, Jikui hastily retreated.

The result was that he was pursued all the way to the wilderness forest.

At this point, Jikui felt he had reached a dead end.

Just as he cursed under his breath, preparing to close his eyes and await death,

a harsh whizzing sound suddenly erupted!

Amidst the pouring rain, a series of screams echoed in the forest behind him.

Under Jikui’s puzzled gaze, it took only a few seconds before everything behind him quieted down.

All that remained was the rustling sound of the rain.

Suddenly, the shrubs and branches were parted by the Object Manipulation Technique, clearing a path.

Su Ping, holding a Loose Cultivator in each hand like dead dogs, walked up to Jikui:

The heavy rain fell hard, yet due to the Water Avoidance Spell on his Taoist robe, the rain avoided Su Ping, incessantly splattering on the heads of the Loose Cultivators in his hands.

“Long time no see, Taoist Jikui.”

“In… Inspector, sir!”

Seeing Su Ping, Jikui immediately understood and, overwhelmed with emotion, quickly knelt on the ground and bowed,

“Thank you, sir, for saving my life. I will never forget this kindness for as long as I live!”

“Enough, tell me the whole story.”

Su Ping waved his hand, threw out a bottle of Healing Medicine, and started to inquire.

Jikui dared not hide anything. After drinking the Healing Medicine, he recounted the encounter and offered his guess.

He suspected that a group of Loose Cultivators, acting as bandits, had attacked in advance, knowing their caravan’s plans after seizing the wealthy family’s mansion where they were to rendezvous.

Having finished his tale, Jikui expressed deep regret; had he not been so careless, they wouldn’t have suffered such a terrible defeat.

He felt deeply ashamed of letting down the Ji Family’s trust and the trust placed in him by the Inspector!
