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

Chapter 71: The Matchmaker's Gift (3600 words)

Perhaps it really is, the material of this item is very similar to that of the Dragon Head Staff.

Moreover, it seems to have more than one section, and when connected, it could be a very long stick.

He originally thought that the complete Dragon Head Staff would have a double-headed dragon style, with only the other half missing, but now it seems to be somewhat different from what he imagined.

I wonder what changes there will be when it is connected to the Dragon Head Staff.

Will the space become larger?

Originally, he wasn't very interested in Mo Wang Valley's Law Treasure, thinking that he could just randomly pick one.

But seeing this thing, he kind of wants it.

But is this thing important to Mo Wang Valley?

To test it out, if he is reluctant to give it, then it's better not to take it for now.

Knowing that the thing is with him is enough, he can ask for it later if there is a chance.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Ming pretended to be choosing and finally set his gaze on the short stick.

"I'll take that short stick. It looks ordinary and should be of no great use to the Grandmaster Uncle."

Mo Wang Valley looked up and asked, "You want this?"

Chu Ming hesitated for a moment, "Um... is this a valuable Law Treasure?"

"If it's not convenient, I can choose another one."

Mo Wang Valley smiled and said, "It's not a valuable Law Treasure, it's just average when used, only suitable for use as a hidden weapon, Earth Rank Low Grade quality."

"But I feel that there seems to be some kind of restriction on this thing. If it can be unlocked, it may have a more powerful effect, maybe it's a Heavenly Rank Law Treasure."

"But since I obtained this treasure more than a hundred years ago, I have never been able to comprehend its mysteries."

"Perhaps this thing is not meant for me. Since you have chosen it, I will transfer this opportunity to you."

So it can only be used as a hidden weapon, Chu Ming initially thought that this thing could also be used as a storage Law Treasure when taken out alone.

As for the restriction on it, can it be unlocked just by connecting it to the Dragon Head Staff?

While thinking, Mo Wang Valley waved his hand and took back the remaining Law Treasures and Law Weapons, and the short stick fell into Chu Ming's hands.

As he held the short stick, the feeling was extremely familiar, it was the same material as the Dragon Head Staff.

Chu Ming was secretly delighted and put the short stick into the snake skin bag.

Then he gratefully clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Grandmaster Uncle!"

The old woman said displeasedly, "Clearly there are so many good Law Weapons, but he chose a broken wooden stick."

"That nonsense restriction is obviously made up by him. This kid wouldn't believe it, right?"

The bald old man sitting on the flying shield fishing sneered, "Although this kid has good luck, he has no courage and is afraid of everything he does."

"Just now, even if he asked for the Sealing Demon Gourd, Mo Wang Valley wouldn't have the face to not give it to him, but he doesn't even have the courage for that."

"Hmph, such a mediocre person will never become a great talent."

"Even if he eats the Yin Yang Fish and gains the Heavenly Spirit Root, he definitely won't go too far."

Chu Ming also heard the comments of these old guys, but he just smiled and didn't mind too much.

First, he had already obtained the Law Treasure he wanted, and at the same time, he wouldn't offend Mo Wanggu.

Second, he was willing to be seen as an insignificant role by others. Being too prominent would only bring him trouble.

At this moment, Mo Wanggu stood up and said, "Well, in that case, I'll find a boat myself."

After Chu Ming put his Yin Yang Fish into the glass jar, he said to Mo Wanggu, "No need, Senior Uncle. Let me leave the boat to you."

Mo Wanggu shook his head, "We agreed earlier that if I lost, I would find a boat myself and not bother you. How can I break my promise?"

Chu Ming smiled and said, "Senior Uncle, the time for my fishing is almost over. Today's harvest is quite good, so I plan to go back and rest."

"I'm also going back to hand over the boat, so it's better to give the boat to Senior Uncle. That way, I won't have to row it myself."

"If Senior Uncle feels guilty, just give me some money for my escape."

Mo Wanggu smiled, looked down at the longevity fish he had caught, and casually threw the fishing rod, throwing the fish to Chu Ming.

"You want this fish, don't you? Well, I'll give it to you. It's useless for me to eat it anyway."

Chu Ming quickly caught it with Object Manipulation and put it into another glass fish tank, then put it into a snake-skin bag.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Uncle. I'll take my leave."

He took Xiao Yuying onto Old Han's boat and bowed to the surrounding elders, saying, "Farewell, esteemed ancestors."

"Senior Sister Li, farewell." He looked at Li Haimeng last.

Li Haimeng nodded slightly and smiled at Xiao Yuying, whom she still liked for being gentle and obedient.

Xiao Yuying also smiled and bid farewell to Li Haimeng.

At this time, Jiang Zhilan said with a touch of resentment, "Ah, why didn't you bid me farewell?"

"Young Daoist, if it weren't for my help just now, perhaps you wouldn't have won this competition or caught this rare Yin Yang Fish," Chu Ming said.

"Is that so?" She smiled and blinked her eyes.

Chu Ming nodded, "Perhaps that's true. Thank you, Fellow Daoist. I'll take my leave."

After saying that, he urged Old Han to quickly sail away from this troublesome place.

Seeing the three of them leaving on the boat, the elders didn't pay much attention and continued to focus on fishing.

Li Haimeng looked at the two boats left and couldn't help but feel a little lost.

The scene at this moment was already different from what she had dreamed of. Could she still catch the Spirit Fish she wanted?

After thinking for a moment, she left the place and tried to find a similar scene elsewhere. Perhaps she had been looking in the wrong place from the beginning.

Jiang Zhilan saw Li Haimeng leaving and also stood up with a smile, saying, "Boring. The interesting people have all left. It's time for me to go back."

"After such a big incident, the sect must be in an uproar."

After saying that, she flew away on her colorful lotus at high speed, leaving the territory of the Divine Will Sect.

...

On the other side, Chu Ming and the others had already rowed two miles away.

Compared to the outer disciples who were rowing out, the three of them were completely going against the current.

But Chu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief. Leaving that place made him feel much more relaxed.

When there were no more people around, he took out the Yin Yang Fish and handed it to Old Han.

"Old Han, take it and eat. I'm giving it to you."

Old Han paused, widened his eyes, and a hint of longing flashed in his eyes.

But after swallowing his saliva, he shook his head repeatedly and said, "This...this won't do. How can I accept such a precious Spirit Fish?"

Chu Ming smiled and said, "Didn't I already say before? If I catch a fish that can change fate, I'll give it to you as a thank-you gift for being a matchmaker."

"Although this fish can't change your fate in this lifetime, it's enough to give you peace of mind knowing that you can obtain the Heavenly Spirit Root in the next lifetime, right?"

Old Han still refused, "No, there's only one fish, so you should eat it."

"Now that the Golden Scale Fish has appeared, if I try harder, I should be able to catch a good Spirit Fish."

"Even if you don't need it, you can give it to Yuying to eat."

Chu Ming directly stuffed the fish into his mouth and said, "Enough, stop talking. If we keep going back and forth, someone might snatch it away."

Before Old Han could react, the Spirit Fish turned into a breath and entered his body, imprinting itself on his soul.

It seems that the method of consuming this Spirit Fish is different from the ordinary Spirit Communication fish.

Old Han was stunned and said, "Ah Ming, I...I don't know how to thank you."

He was somewhat incoherent, then his nose tingled, and he was moved to the point of covering his face with his hands, tears streaming down.

In his lifetime, he failed to become an immortal and didn't enjoy the blessings of an ordinary person. He missed out on having a partner and descendants, and he missed out on everything.

He thought he would eventually die in pain and regret, but now he had a chance to start over, and he even had the Heavenly Spirit Root he had longed for.

For someone like him who had reached a dead end, this was truly the most precious gift.

Chu Ming patted Old Han's shoulder and comforted him.

This thing was useless to him and his junior sister, so it was naturally best to give it to Old Han.

At least this old friend helped him find a good wife, so receiving such a thank-you gift was only natural.

Chu Ming hugged his junior sister and smiled at Old Han, saying, "Old Han, this fish was originally my thank-you gift to you."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met such a good woman as my junior sister."

"Compared to my junior sister, the Yin Yang Fish is nothing to me. I don't mind giving it away."

"And under my guidance, my junior sister has made rapid progress and doesn't need this Yin Yang Fish either."

"Isn't that right, junior sister?"

Xiao Yuying listened to these words, her face filled with sweetness, and she couldn't help leaning on her senior brother's shoulder.

Indeed, she was an important person in her senior brother's eyes.

For an ordinary man, it would be impossible to give away such a precious Spirit Fish as a thank-you gift to a matchmaker.

And she didn't need this Spirit Fish either. Even if she could obtain the Heavenly Spirit Root, it would be a matter for the next life.

There were too many variables in the next life. Who knew if the two of them would meet again? Would they still be able to love each other like they do now?

She spoke up, saying, "Hmm, I don't seek the next life. I only hope to be with my senior brother for a long time in this life."

"Old Han, you don't need to think too much. If I practice diligently under my senior brother's guidance, I can also achieve longevity. It might not be worse than obtaining the Heavenly Spirit Root."

Chu Ming then took out the Longevity Fish and handed it to his junior sister.

"Hmm, you eat this. It can increase your lifespan by a hundred years."

Xiao Yuying picked up the noodle-like Spirit Fish and hesitated for a moment. "Senior brother, how about we split it?"

Chu Ming shook his head and smiled. "You eat it. Senior brother doesn't need it anymore."

Xiao Yuying also knew the gap between her and senior brother in terms of lifespan, so she stopped being coy and carefully sliced the fish into pieces.

However, she gradually discovered that this Spirit Fish didn't have any internal organs or fish bones. The whole fish was just meat.

So she stopped slicing the fish and started eating it directly.

She even stuffed a few pieces of sliced fish into Chu Ming's mouth. "Senior brother, you should also taste it. This fish is delicious. You'll regret it if you don't eat it."

Chu Ming knew that junior sister was trying to satisfy his cravings, so he didn't refuse.

Anyway, with him around, junior sister's cultivation level would definitely not fall behind, so there was no need to worry about a few years of lifespan.

And indeed, this long-lived fish was extremely delicious. The skin was tight and the flesh was thick, with a rich and mellow flavor. Taking a bite left a lingering aftertaste. It was much tastier than ordinary Spirit Fish.

Old Han wiped away his tears and choked, "Aming, I will definitely repay your kindness."

"Now that we've already left those old ancestors, why don't we go fishing for Spirit Fish again?"

"I don't really need anything, but I can help you and Yuying fish. Haven't you eaten any Supreme Grade Spirit Fish yet?"

"The appearance of the Golden Scale Fish is a once-in-a-century opportunity. If you miss it once, there might not be another chance."

"Catching a Supreme Grade Spirit Fish will also further your cultivation."

Chu Ming waved his hand. "No need for that. Opportunities can't be sought after. Maybe when you really want to fish, you won't be able to catch anything."

"And the situation is too chaotic now, with too many people."

"Although there are restrictions in place, if high-level cultivators suddenly start fighting, it would be very dangerous to be caught in the crossfire."

Old Han nodded thoughtfully. "Hmm, you're right."

"Alas, I can only repay your kindness in the next life."

Chu Ming waved his hand and smiled. "I already said this is a thank-you gift for being a matchmaker for you."

Old Han nodded. "Alright, let's go to my house for a drink then. I should properly thank you both."

"I'm also planning to leave the sect tomorrow. This meal might be the last one we have together."

Xiao Yuying exclaimed in surprise, "Grandpa Han, are you leaving tomorrow?"

Old Han smiled and nodded. "Yes, after eating this Yin Yang Fish, I have no reason to stay in the sect for the rest of my life. I've had enough of this place."

"It's better to return to my hometown early and enjoy the pleasures of the mortal world. I'll be content with this life."

Chu Ming laughed. "That's not a bad idea. Let's not return until we're drunk tonight."

After the three of them reached the shore and left the boat, other cultivators rushed to board the ship.

Chu Ming took the opportunity to use germination magic to plant a small patch of moss on a piece of moss outside the cabin, turning it into a sensing plant.

This boat would enter the lake again and probably wouldn't come out for a few months.

He could use this sensing plant to observe the movements on the lake surface and stay informed.

Suddenly, he received an editing message: "Scheduled to be released at 12 o'clock noon tomorrow."

To show sincerity, two extra chapters were updated today, and the story would directly enter a crucial plot after being released.

I hope all the big shots can support me by subscribing tomorrow. It's very important for the author.
