Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

It’s January again, the four seasons have turned, and we’ve arrived at the end of the year, the deep winter season.

Although the New Year is approaching, there is no joy at all on Wuze Lake, only a cold feeling.

For some reason, this winter has been harsher, colder, and more difficult than in previous years.

But no matter what, life has to go on, the boat has to be sailed, and the fish has to be caught.

At dawn, before it was dark, Ah Qing walked out of the cabin. A gust of north wind happened to blow, causing her body under the raincoat to tremble.

It was cold, very cold. Even though she had put on all the clothes she could wear and wore a thick windproof raincoat outside, her body still felt stiff, her hands and feet were cold, and there was no warmth anywhere in her body.

"Is this...snowing?"

In the north wind, snowflakes floated in like willow catkins, falling on the face and immediately melting, turning into cold snow water and soaking into the clothes.

It’s snowing. It’s actually snowing in Wuze Lake?

Growing up, this was the first time for Ah Qing to see snow.

But she didn't feel excited, only worried.

"It's so cold that it's snowing. What should we do next?"

"Let's survive this winter first. If you don't have enough salt and rice, drink more fish soup..."

Ah Qing shook his head, sailed the awning boat back to the reed marsh, lit the stove and started cooking fish porridge.

the other side……

"Twelve floors, complete!"

On the small island, in the bamboo house, Xu Yang opened his eyes, and his bright eyes shone with divine light, making the dark room bright.

At the twelfth level of Qi refining, the realm of Dzogchen, the physical body, magic power, and soul all reach the peak of the mortal body.

The next step is to build the foundation. The three elements of essence, energy and spirit are combined to create the foundation for the practitioner to practice the Tao.

In March, Xu Yang had improved his cultivation to this level, and was only one step away from completing the feat of building a foundation in a hundred days.

The reasons for this are the result of the creation of spiritual roots and the results of the accumulation of foundation. They are commonplace and need not be explained in detail.

There is only one thing that needs to be mentioned, and that is external help.

In March, although no spiritual creatures from heaven and earth were found, and the farming business did not bear fruit, there was a lot of harvest from fishing.

Needless to say, the spirit fish are all being raised in the fish pond, ready to be used to breed spirit vassals.

Mainly those demonized monster fish, represented by "Black Yaksha", there are many monster fish and water monsters hidden in Wuze Lake. When Xu Yang was fishing for spiritual fish, these guys also came to make trouble, and they were all killed by him in the end. Caught it.

These demonic fish are polluted by demonic energy, are extremely fierce and unruly, and cannot be raised at all at the moment.

Since it is not cooked well, it can only be cooked.

In the end, most of these monsters and fishes were served on Xu Yang's dining table, and a small number were made into fish bait or used to refine weapons. In short, everything was put to good use and nothing was wasted.

With this as his capital, in three months, Xu Yang not only completed his meritorious deeds, but also refined several small magic weapons for himself.

Although it was only a low-level magic weapon and could not be compared with the previous spiritual treasures, it still managed to pull him out of the ranks of "wild casual cultivators and poor ghosts with blank slates".

"March has passed and there are still ten days left!"

"Building a foundation in a hundred days doesn't have to be forced, but it's not without hope."

"The golden belt of murder and arson, now in Wuze Lake, I will do a calamity."

Xu Yang smiled, stood up and walked out.

Once the Qi refining is complete, it is time to seek to build the foundation.

With his cultivation background and qualifications, even without using the Foundation Building Pill, the success rate of building the Foundation on his own is as high as 100%.

That's right, 100%, the Five Elements Spiritual Roots are comparable to high-grade heavenly spirits, and high-grade heavenly spirits have no bottleneck before condensing the infant. Even without the use of elixirs or spiritual objects, the success of foundation building and the formation of elixirs are guaranteed to be intact.

Therefore, Xu Yang can now directly build the foundation.

But he didn't want to miss the opportunity to purify his spiritual roots and improve his qualifications.

In this case, it is necessary to find ways to obtain the five elements of spiritual objects.

According to the original plan, it would take at least several years, or even ten years, to accumulate enough Five Elements spiritual objects.

But the situation has changed, and the tide of spiritual fish in Wuze Lake has brought him an opportunity, an opportunity to significantly advance his plan.

That is - grab!

Now on Wuze Lake, various forces have gathered together, preparing to divide the spiritual fish and even compete for the king of fish.

Although most of these forces are ordinary people and martial artists, some, like Na Lisu Hong, are extraordinary cultivators, and they seem to be quite wealthy.

Therefore, Xu Yang decided to grab them and see if he could find the Five Elements spiritual objects he needed from their hands.

Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor was his old profession, and he had to pick it up when he should.

However, before grabbing it, he had to do one more thing.

fishing!

Not that fishing, but real fishing, fishing for the spiritual fish king of Wuze Lake.

Spiritual objects are the creation of heaven and earth. They are an opportunity to save oneself in desperate situations and can effectively purify evil spirits.

If such spiritual objects are used for food, they will not only waste natural resources, but also destroy their own livelihood.

Xu Yang would not let it go. He wanted to capture the Spirit Fish King and raise him.

Even if it is not fully grown in the end, it is still good to keep it and use it as a "demon energy purifier".

In addition, the appearance of the spirit fish has brought too much suffering to the fishermen of Wuze Lake. It is time to end this crazy farce.

Xu Yang is very satisfied with Wuze Lake and is ready to take root and develop here. The fishermen of Wuze Lake will be brought under his rule in the future and will be the objects of his education and teaching. How can they be allowed to live in this spiritual fish tide? Heavy casualties?

The reason why we didn't do anything before was because we didn't have enough strength.

Now that I have perfected my Qi training and have the strength and capital, I can naturally do some things.

…

The north wind blows and snowflakes flutter.

The five lakes are like the sea, very vast.

One by one, the large iron-clad ships occupied a place on the lake.

Here, it is already in the middle of a deep lake, and there are big fish causing trouble below. Small boats cannot withstand it. Only large iron-clad ships like this can stay safe and sound.

But at this time, small boats were also released around the big ship, and strong men were naked and jumped into the water with harpoons in their hands. After a while, bloody water surfaced, and one by one, black-scaled monster fish were harpooned from the water.

These are all warriors, warriors who are proficient in the nature of water.

Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to eat water, the major forces in Wuze and Sanfu have trained many warriors who are proficient in water nature, in order to prepare for the tide of spiritual fish that occurs once in decades or hundreds of years, and in Wuze Lake. various resources.

It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes a short time to deploy it. Now is the time to deploy troops. Even if it is freezing cold, it is difficult to stop everyone from moving. A tail of black forked fish that looks like a water monster is fished out on the boat, and from time to time, delicate spiritual fish appear.

Everyone under the boat was working hard, shouting and shouting constantly, and the boat was also very lively.

"There are no species of spiritual fish, there are all kinds."

"This spirit fish feast is a feast of ten types of spirit fish."

"This is Qinglong soup, this is steamed perch, this is..."

"If I hadn't received the wind and washed away the dust for Immortal Master Zhu Yang, how could we mortals be lucky enough to enjoy this spiritual fish feast?"

"Hahaha!"

The banquet was spread out, and there was singing and dancing.

The handsome young Taoist Zhu Yang, dressed in a fiery red robe, sat in the center, surrounded by Li Suhong and others, pushing cups and changing cups, happily.

Although he is revered as an "immortal master", he has no airs of being an immortal. Instead, he looks like a debaucher, drinking happily and enjoying delicious food.

"This tastes really good!"

"As long as the immortal master likes it."

"Su Hong, you should try it too."

“It’s really delicious…”

"Wuze Spirit Fish is indeed well-deserved, but I don't know what the legendary Spirit Fish King is like."

"Spirit Fish King?"

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, chatted and laughed, and soon came to the key topic.

At this time, Zhu Yang's eyes narrowed, and then he raised his hands and stood up. Regardless of everyone's surprised looks, he said to Li Suhong beside him: "Fellow Daxing Mountain, come here to pay a visit to the master. You can do it yourself!"

After saying that, he turned around and turned into a ray of red light, flying straight towards a large ship.

The big ship was parked on the lake, with a dragon logo visible on the bow, revealing its extraordinary majesty.

The red light came and fell into the boat, and the figure of Zhu Yang appeared. He raised his hands to a man and said, "Zhu Yang, a Sanren from Jiangning, has met fellow Taoist Daxing Mountains. Don't you know your name?"

The man looks like a young man, his expression is as cold as the ice in the north, and he is aloof and arrogant: "Yu Wenjie of Daxing Mountain!"

"It turns out to be Manager Yuwen!"

Zhu Yang gave a salute. Although his words were respectful, he was neither humble nor arrogant.

Next to the man, he saw another woman, dressed in a bright red palace dress, and she was also very gorgeous.

Unlike Yu Wenjie's cold and arrogant attitude, the woman looked at Zhu Yang, and then said in a charming voice: "It turns out that he is a Taoist friend of Zhu Yang. I have long heard that the Li family of Jiangning Prefecture enshrines a Qi Refiner, who is rare among the three prefectures and five rivers." The opponent has the appearance of a golden elixir, and now that I see it, it is indeed true."

Zhu Yang smiled: "What the hell, this Taoist friend is so beautiful, I guess she must be Fairy Shen Hongyu among the twelve Immortal Envoys of Daxing, right?"

The woman also smiled: "Fellow Taoist, just call me Yu Niang."

"The fairy is really approachable."

Zhu Yang turned his eyes and looked around: "Are there only two fellow Taoists coming this time?"

"Um!?"

Yu Wenjie's expression was cold, while Shen Hongyu chuckled: "Why, the two of us are not enough. Could it be that Fellow Taoist Zhu Yang also wants this Spirit Fish King?"

"Of course not. How could Zhu Yang be so virtuous as to dare to touch such spiritual things?"

Zhu Yang shook his head and explained: "It's just that the birth of the spiritual fish has attracted many Taoist friends, all of whom have extraordinary methods, and they are bound to win against the Fish King. There will probably be a fight between dragons and tigers. Although the two Taoist friends are strong, they can both A fist is invincible to four hands..."

"snort!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a cold snort, and Yu Wenjie said proudly: "Although there are many ants, there is nothing to worry about."

Shen Hongyu also smiled and said: "However, what fellow Taoist said is not unreasonable. If fellow Taoist can help me, then except for the Spirit Fish King, I can make the decision and give 30% of the shares of other spiritual fish to fellow Taoist."

"good!"

"It's a deal."

Zhu Yang agreed immediately and said with a smile: "I will do my best to help these two fellow Taoists win the Fish King of Wuzhe."

"call!"

"Hmm~!?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the north wind blowing, and Yu Wenjie and Shen Hongyu both turned their eyes.

Zhu Yang was also aware of it. Looking back, he saw in the distance, in the snow all over the sky, a small boat with a black awning, coming towards here.

How can a small boat dare to enter the middle of the lake?

It is precisely because it is not there that it is noticeable at this time.
