Eternal Life: I Can Break Through The Limits Of All Methods

Chapter 64: Is this a beginner?

Old Han skillfully steered the fishing boat at the stern, while Chu Ming and Xiao Yuying sat together at the bow, enjoying the beautiful scenery on the lake.

The surface of the lake was shimmering and the waves were vast.

The emerald green lake water resembled flowing jade, giving people a sense of intoxication and tranquility.

This place truly lived up to its reputation as the dwelling place of immortals and true dragons, exuding more celestial aura than the Divine Will Sect.

However, it was extremely difficult to see the trace of Spirit Fish through the lake water, only faintly glimpsing some Spirit Fish that were closer to the surface or floating on the water.

Presumably, this was due to some kind of restriction that prevented people from seeing the depths of the lake.

It was not because of his low cultivation level or poor perception spells.

Even if a powerhouse at the Core Formation Nascent Soul stage came, they probably wouldn't be able to see the depths of this lake.

After all, this was a restriction set up by immortals.

And even if one could see the Spirit Fish, it would be futile to try to catch them with a fishing net.

Chu Ming tried to use Object Manipulation to grab a golden Spirit Fish that surfaced, even using suppressing force.

However, once it left the water, the golden Spirit Fish turned into a puddle of water and flowed back into the lake, completely beyond his control with Object Manipulation.

"It seems it's not possible." Chu Ming chuckled self-deprecatingly.

However, he wondered if when Object Manipulation reached a higher level, it would be able to ignore the restriction set by the immortals and catch the Spirit Fish.

Before long, the boat had traveled more than ten miles.

The surroundings were empty, with only one or two fishing boats visible in the distance.

"Let's fish here, it's quieter."

"No one knows where the good fish are, we can only rely on luck."

Old Han sat next to Chu Ming and took out a half-zhang long black Spirit Fish fishing rod from his storage bag.

There was no saying of using a long line to catch big fish in this lake.

As long as there was an opportunity, no matter how short the fishing rod or fishing line, one could catch big fish.

However, some people believed that only a good fishing rod could catch good Spirit Fish.

Some people would even sprinkle some Spirit Rice demon meat into the lake, not only to attract fish but also to worship the true dragons and sword immortals, hoping to receive their blessings.

But this practice was just superstition, perhaps someone happened to succeed and the tradition was passed down.

And it was worth noting that there were no fish hooks on the fishing line, only a small silver metal ball hanging from it.

This was the spiritual bait ball needed for fishing Spirit Fish, a special Law Weapon.

To fish for Spirit Fish, cultivators needed to cast their spiritual energy into the water through the fishing rod and fishing line, condensing the bait from the spiritual bait ball.

Only then would the Spirit Fish bite.

Using a regular fishing rod would not be able to fish for Spirit Fish.

There were also various methods for fishing Spirit Fish, mainly based on the difficulty of condensing the bait, which varied at different cultivation levels.

Old Han and Chu Ming had only learned the most basic "Introduction to Spirit Fish Fishing," which most Qi Refining stage disciples could learn.

Although the method was much simpler and the bait condensation method was more common, it was enough to fish for ordinary Spirit Fish.

As for fishing for high-level Spirit Fish, it was all a matter of luck.

Sometimes those high-level Spirit Fish did prefer more exquisite high-level bait, but there was still a chance with low-level bait.

In the end, it depended on personal opportunities.

Chu Ming took out his Spirit Fish fishing rod from his snake-skin bag, which was also a regular style and cost ten spirit stones.

Xiao Yuying now had a storage ring as well and took out her fishing rod, casting the bait ball and fishing line into the water.

Chu Ming looked at his panel.

[Spirit Fish Fishing Introduction (Beginner: 64/100)]

His proficiency was too low, so he had to ask Old Han for advice first.

He smiled and said to his junior sister, "Junior sister, you can practice on your own according to what I taught you before."

Xiao Yuying nodded, "Okay, I'll fish on my own, I'm not completely clueless."

Chu Ming then smiled and looked at Old Han, saying, "Old Han, your proficiency in Spirit Fish fishing should be quite high, right?"

"Do you have Great Completion? Can you give me some guidance so that I can improve quickly?"

Old Han smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'm not that skilled, but I should be decent."

"After all, I've been fishing for Spirit Fish for several years, so I should be stronger than you."

"In that case, let me explain my insights to you..."

Old Han explained his understanding, such as the rules of the energy flow in the bait, the technique of condensation, and the frequency of changing the bait.

Chu Ming didn't know any of these techniques before, but listening to Old Han's words was like a sudden enlightenment.

His proficiency continued to increase.

[Spirit Fish Fishing: Proficiency +20]

[Spirit Fish Fishing: Proficiency +15]

...

And after trying it himself, his proficiency could also continue to increase.

[Spirit Fish Fishing: Proficiency +5]

[Spirit Fish Fishing: Proficiency +5]

[Spirit Fish Fishing: Proficiency +5]

...

The growth rate was much faster than practicing on his own.

In just the time it took for two incense sticks to burn, he had already reached the mastery level.

[Spirit Fish Fishing: Beginner (Mastery: 687/1000)]

The main difficulty of this method lies in controlling the spiritual energy.

He had already mastered many spells of the Transcendent Realm, so his ability to control spiritual energy was not weak to begin with.

It could be said that he quickly grasped the essence, and he gained a lot from his own insights.

At the same time, this Spirit Fish Fishing also provided a summary of the condensation and operation of the five types of elemental spiritual energy.

At the same level, it was much more sophisticated than spells like Golden Light Slash.

Perhaps he should practice Spirit Fish Fishing more.

Maybe when he learned other methods in the future, his proficiency would increase much faster.

He then performed fishing at the highest level. After about half an incense stick's worth of time, he felt the Spirit Fish biting.

At this point, the Spirit Fish was already attached to his spiritual energy. He absolutely couldn't break the connection, or the fish would escape.

With a light lift, a translucent, pale blue Spirit Fish weighing about a pound was lifted into the air.

Using Object Manipulation, he grabbed a glass fish tank filled with water from his snake-skin bag and directly put the Spirit Fish into it.

Old Han couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "Wow, you don't usually fish for Spirit Fish much, how did you manage to catch a one-pounder all of a sudden?"

Chu Ming smiled and said, "You gave me good guidance, and of course, it could also be that I got lucky."

Just then, Xiao Yuying's fishing rod also had a reaction.

"Senior Brother, I think I caught something," she said in a panic.

Chu Ming and Old Han were both surprised. They didn't expect Xiao Yuying to have a catch when she just started learning to fish for Spirit Fish.

"Quickly reel it in, just don't break the connection."

Chu Ming didn't help her, afraid of disturbing her and causing a mistake.

Fortunately, his junior sister was also capable and quickly reeled in the Spirit Fish.

At a rough glance, this Spirit Fish weighed at least two pounds.

Chu Ming didn't have time to be surprised and immediately put the Spirit Fish into the glass fish tank.

Seeing this two-pound, pale blue Spirit Fish, he couldn't help but wryly smile and say, "Wow, compared to my junior sister, my luck is nothing."

At the same time, he couldn't help but be amazed. His junior sister should only be at the beginner level, yet she managed to catch a two-pound Spirit Fish so easily.

Was this simply good luck, or did she have talent in this area?
