Immortal Cultivation: When You Do Things To The Extreme

Chapter 59 Herring (first update)

Xu Yang looked at his fins...well, he couldn't see them.

At this moment, there was only one little herring in the river with its back bent and its eyes wide.

Its two fins are like hands, stretching out in front of it, but they can't reach it, which looks weird and funny.

He... turned into a fish?

Yes, he turned into a fish!

If he had known he was so smart, he wouldn't have made random wishes.

Fighting for world supremacy is cliche, but there’s nothing wrong with it if you think about it.

What to do now?

How about reopening?

Xu Yang was silent for a while, and finally accepted the reality and did not choose to reopen the dream.

After living in the dream for so many years, he had seen it before, but this was the first time he experienced it.

What is it like to be a fish?

He couldn't explain it clearly, but it was very strange. The fins looked like hands, but they were not hands. It had no limbs and could only swing by its body and tail, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Although he also transformed into a dragon in the Tang Dynasty, the "dragon" was not a real dragon, but a virtual form formed by the combination of his spiritual will and the power of heaven and earth, and the unity of heaven and man.

In fact, he is still a human being, maintaining a human body, but in the eyes of ordinary people, he looks like a dragon.

Therefore, he has no experience of becoming an alien. Now that he accepts this body, he finds it difficult to adapt.

What, memory?

This little herring is only three inches long and is still within the scope of "fry". What memory can it leave behind?

There is only one message.

That is……

Hungry, hungry, hungry, so hungry! So hungry! So hungry!

Not only is it hungry, Xu Yang is also hungry.

This was a little herring that was malnourished and died of hunger.

Even though Xu Yang Zhuang Zhou Mengdie came and the accompanying divine soul power filled part of the shortfall, the hunger in his belly still lingered.

It wants to eat!

But Xu Yang held on to this instinctive impulse.

If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools!

Understand the situation first, then formulate a strategy, and finally act.

In this way, you get twice the result with half the effort!

There are two situations, the surrounding environment and one's own state.

The first is the surrounding environment.

This is where?

have no idea!

The memory of fish is limited, and this little herring is even more so. It has been in a state of hunger for a long time. How can it find time to think about anything else if it can't even eat enough?

Even if it is full, with the little intelligence of a fish, it may not be able to provide the environmental information Xu Yang wants.

At present, Xu Yang only knows one thing, that is, the time difference between this dream world and real time is ten to one, ten days in the dream and one day in the real world.

Compared to the 365 times time difference between the Great Zhou Divine Sovereign and the Tang Dynasty, this world has become much shorter, and I don’t know why.

This is an environmental situation.

Look at yourself again.

Xu Yang called up the properties panel as usual.

Xu Yang

Race: herring

Cultivation: None

Lifespan: 0.3/6

Skills: None

…

Very concise.

He is now a four-month-old herring, barely reaching "adult fish" age.

However, due to scarce food and malnutrition, it is much smaller than herring of the same age.

The smaller the body, the weaker the strength, the more difficult it is to catch food, and in the end it can only starve to death.

This is what happened to the "original owner" in his life.

But now it's Xu Yang, and naturally he won't be so unlucky.

Call the body directly for assistance!

Xu Yang closed his eyes, and a line of text suddenly appeared in the skill column.

Swimming (flood dragon)

Thanks to the rare treasure of He's Bi, Xu Yang not only cleansed his soul during this period, but the power of his soul also increased significantly.

Otherwise, it is really impossible to transfer this swimming skill with four-character characteristics.

But that's all. The main body soul is already weak, and this skill is the only support in the early stage.

Xu Yang opened his eyes, swung his body and tail, and the water around him suddenly moved like an arm, giving him a huge force out of thin air.

Life is hard, and fish life is even harder.

As a fish, you must always fight against nature in order to survive in nature.

Water is also a part of nature. As a fish, you cannot live without water, but you cannot follow the current. If you want to eat and survive, you must always fight against the current.

This was difficult for a malnourished little herring, so the "original owner" starved to death.

It does not have enough strength to fight the current, fight the environment, and obtain the food that meets its own needs.

Xu Yang didn't have it originally. After all, it was his first day making fish and he was completely unfamiliar with fish skills.

But he has a skill trait, "Muddy Water Flood Dragon" transmitted over, immediately upgrading him to a Flood Dragon of the same size.

Flood Dragon not only has its own special powers, but can also control water flow. It is truly a "different species".

Needless to say, this helped Xu Yang.

He swung his body and tail, and with the help of the water flow, his little body flew out immediately.

Eat, eat, eat, he wants to eat!

What to eat?

Black carp is an omnivorous fish, and young fish mostly feed on plankton, but of course they can also eat aquatic plants.

But things like plankton... are commonly found in the feces of large fish.

It's not impossible, it's just not necessary.

After all, Xu Yang is now a small herring-level "Muddy Waters Flood Dragon".

He has the capital to hunt, so there is no need to eat that thing.

Xu Yang swung his body and tail and swam very fast, and soon he came to a shallower water bottom.

On the underwater river bed, there are many slow-moving molluscs with green and black carapace on their backs.

Snail!

One of the main foods of herring.

Xu Yang swam forward, opened his mouth and swallowed a snail into his mouth.

Herring has teeth, but they are not teeth, but pharyngeal teeth, located in the pharynx. Therefore, when eating snails, you cannot bite them directly. You need to swallow them first, then use the pharyngeal teeth to crush the shell and spit it out. Only the meat and internal organs of the snails are eaten.

The whole process can be described in three words.

Crunchy!

After a few clicks, a snail entered the stomach.

Hunger slightly lessened.

But only slightly.

Xu Yang looked around, locked onto another snail, swung his tail and flew forward to take a bite.

"Click! Click! Click!"

It must be said that herring made the right choice by feeding on snails.

Because herring is large, immobile and clumsy, it is very difficult to hunt shrimps and crabs.

Snails are different. They move slowly and are numerous. They are the favorite food of herring.

Therefore, herring is also called snail green.

Xu Yang roamed the river bed wantonly and quickly preyed on more than a dozen snails.

Just when he was almost full...

"Gululu!"

The sound of extremely fast water flow came, Xu Yang's expression changed, he swung his body and tail, and got directly into a small crevice in the rocks.

As soon as Xu Yang's front feet entered the crevice of the stone, his back feet saw the water flow, and a terrifying black shadow swam through the water.

That was...a big catfish, an exaggeratedly large catfish.

I saw the big catfish was so aggressive that it bit a big herring that was running away in panic. It swung its fat body and pulled hard. In the blink of an eye, I saw the big herring torn into pieces and enjoyed it in a bloody way.

"..."

In the crevice of the stone, Xu Yang shrank in again when he saw this.

There is nothing to say about the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest.

Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps. If you don’t want to be someone else’s meal, you should increase your strength and become the biggest one.

But, how to enhance it?

Martial Arts?

Xu Yang frowned non-existently.

Although the Martial Scriptures include the Myriad Manifestations and are full of wonders, they are ultimately exercises practiced by humans and have not considered the issue of fish.

Therefore, he is not sure whether he can still practice martial arts and use the "fish body" to develop the inner power True Qi and the Vital Spirit.

try it!

Xu Yang didn't think much and directly started the martial arts.

Then he discovered the problem.

Doesn't work!

Wu Jing Kung Fu is based on the human body, using the "meridians", "acupoints", "dantian" and other necessary structures of the human body to mobilize qi and blood, condense the internal force, and then reserve the internal force in the dantian to improve the quality step by step. Follow up with True Qi Vital Spirit.

The body structure of fish is completely different from that of humans, so martial arts cannot be applied.

Although Xu Yang can solve this problem, after all, he is the ancestor of martial arts. Everyone in Martial Dao can create his own martial arts. Naturally, he can also improve the martial arts. Based on the structure of the "fish body", he can modify a martial arts suitable for fish body training. After all, it is not a difficult thing.

At most, spend some time and effort.

But that doesn't completely solve the problem.

Because the fish body lacks many key body structures compared with the human body.

For example...dantian!

Compared with the human body, the fish body not only has narrow meridians, fewer orifices, but also almost no Dantian.

In other words, the efficiency of condensing Qi and blood in a fish body and cultivating internal strength will be much lower than that of a human body.

Xu Yang estimated that it was at least a hundred times lower.

Forget it if the cultivation efficiency is low, there is no Dantian to reserve, and the internal energy that has been cultivated through hard work is either expelled from the body, or forced to stay in the body, keeping the internal energy full at all times.

This is harmful and useless, and puts a huge burden on the body. Maybe one day the body will explode and no bones will be left.

How to solve this problem?

After much thought, Xu Yang came up with only one plan.

That is...body training!

If there is no Dantian and it is impossible to reserve, then there will be no reserve.

All the condensed internal energy is used to strengthen the body.

Martial Arts integrates martial arts from all over the world, and there are many Body Refining magic skills. Naturally, there is also a set of body training methods.

To be honest, not training the internal strength but only the physical body is not a very good choice.

After all, internal force has many functions, and many martial arts must be supported by internal force before they can be performed. If you practice only the physical body, you will be a reckless person who can easily be fooled.

But for some things, good or bad is not the key, the key is whether it is suitable or not.

The right one is the best.

At this moment, Xu Yang has no better choice, and training is the only way out.

So – practice!

In a moment, the strategy was decided.

Xu Yang poked his head out of the crack in the stone to check the situation.

In the eyes of an outsider...an outsider, this little herring is looking around furtively and its human behavior seems very weird and very funny.

After a while, after confirming that the big catfish had left, Xu Yang jumped out from the cracks in the rocks and continued to kill the snails, which had no power to resist.

Regardless of whether you practice martial arts or practice physical fitness, the essence is the energy and blood power of the human body, oh no, the fish body.

Therefore, if you want to practice cultivation, you must first strengthen your Qi and blood.

If there is insufficient nutrition and deficiency of Qi and blood, practicing Qigong will not only be useless, but also harmful.

Must eat first.

Soon, a subtle sound of "click, click, click" was heard in the water.
