Start with the fisherman

Chapter 99: Tidehunter Evolves, Value Soars
In the backyard, Cao Ze sat in the main room and took out the visualization diagram of striking the sea.

Although King Hailang was on the bounty list with a reward of five thousand taels of silver, this was because the information about King Hailang had not been updated. Otherwise, the wealth of King Hailang, who had achieved a small success in refining the internal organs, would surely have increased further.

But since he had already received Nie Xiaoyu's reward, the head was Nie Xiaoyu's to deal with.

He withdrew his thoughts and immersed himself in the visualization picture in front of him. Water vapor filled the air around Cao Ze again.

An hour later, Cao Ze withdrew his gaze from the visualization map and called out the panel.

【Wu Fu:
Cultivation: Tenth level of physical training

Fish Dragon Transformation (Bone Forging): Minor Success (1568/10240)

Snow Blade: Perfection

Strike the Sea (Momentum): Getting Started (564/1600)

Wind Shadow Step: Great Mastery (175/400)

Love Point: 2726】

It has been more than half a month since he returned to Cape City. During these days, he has been meditating on visualization diagrams, practicing martial arts, swordsmanship, and footwork every day.

Their respective progress is also unsatisfactory.

But after getting started with sword moves, the speed at which you gain experience from the visualization diagram has been greatly reduced, to only about 10 points a day.

Cao Ze knew that this was because the quality of the visualization picture was too low.

This visualization picture of striking the ocean is probably just a casual doodle by an ordinary master, and the master's own understanding of momentum is only average.

He even suspected that once his sword skills had improved a little, this visualization picture would lose its effect completely.

"I wonder what level the visualization diagram inherited by the Yue family is at?"

Cao Ze looked towards the inner city and muttered to himself.

Ji Canghai's visualization diagram can help him master the sword skills in a short period of time. If he can obtain a higher quality visualization diagram from the Yue family, perhaps the Fengying Step can make another leap forward.

Thinking of this, Cao Ze looked at the panel.

"Wind Shadow Step, give me some more!"

With a thought, Cao Ze had arrived at the small courtyard full of apricot blossoms.

Apricot blossoms danced in the wind, and a figure shuttled between the blossoms and the wind. His figure almost completely blended into the wind, like a real shadow.

The figure has closed his eyes, and his body follows his heart, step by step, carefully feeling the feeling of each step, and carefully feeling the changes in the wind around him.

Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.

I don’t know how long I had been shuttling back and forth. Suddenly, the figure that had been shuttling back and forth seemed to have undergone some strange changes. It was obvious that he was still shuttling back and forth in the yard.

But it did not affect Xinghua at all, as if he had never been there!

At this moment, his figure completely merged with the wind, as if he had become a part of the wind. Both his attack and his evasion were as unpredictable and unpredictable as the wind.

Wind Shadow Step, perfect!

Cao Ze opened his eyes, took a step, and came to Su Xiaozhi in the kitchen, scaring her so much that she trembled.

"I've already said to buy a few maids, and from now on, we can just let the servants do this kind of thing."

"Brother Ze has made another breakthrough?"

Su Xiaozhi gently stroked her chest to calm her frightened and frantically beating heart, her face full of joy, and then she poured various seasonings into the pot, and finally covered the pot with satisfaction, "No, I want to cook for myself!"

Cao Ze didn't say anything more, as long as Su Xiaozhi was happy.

With a flash of his figure, like the wind flowing through the courtyard, Cao Ze had already arrived in the courtyard again.

"Water control and whale hunting, add them to my collection as well!"

The scene flashed before his eyes. This time, facing the attack of the giant whale, densely packed dots appeared in Guanhai's field of vision. These points could break the giant whale's blockade of the surrounding heaven and earth. Of course, the difficulty of breaking the power of heaven and earth varied at different points.

But more choices mean that Cao Ze can choose the point of breaking the momentum based on subsequent actions to connect with subsequent actions. If he wants to attack, the front may be a good choice. If he wants to escape, the side point is naturally a better choice.

The illusion disappears.

With the perspective of watching the sea, it was not too difficult for Cao Ze to improve his whale hunting ability.

"I really want to fight with a warrior who has mastered the power!"

Holding a long knife, after successfully hunting the whale, Cao Ze couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

But at this moment, he suddenly discovered that in his view of the sea, there were also countless points distributed in the courtyard.

"Yup!"

"Isn't the heaven and earth itself an opponent who has comprehended the power?"

After being awakened, Cao Ze suddenly came to his senses, then raised his hand and chopped at a certain point with a knife.

Wow!

There was a sound as if glass was breaking, and a strong wind suddenly blew in the courtyard.

Cao Ze stood there, thinking about something.

After a long while, he suddenly swung his sword again. This time, the wind in the courtyard became stronger.

woohoo hoo...

There was a constant strong wind in the courtyard, and it was getting stronger and stronger, causing the date tree to shake constantly. It was swaying slightly at the beginning, then slowly swaying left and right, and now it seemed as if it would fall down at the next moment.

Finally, Cao Ze put away his knife and stood up, his face full of joy.

It turns out that breaking momentum can not only be used to destroy the enemy's momentum when fighting against the enemy, but also can be used to destroy the original momentum of heaven and earth, and then guide the momentum of heaven and earth in this way, so as to borrow more momentum of heaven and earth!
Cao Ze was somewhat excited.

After just a few hours of trying, the power of his sword has increased by more than 20%. If he can use it more skillfully, Cao Ze is sure that he can increase this bonus to 50%!
Don't underestimate this 50%. It is a great step forward and even more difficult than the previous 100 steps.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"

Seeing Cao Ze put away his sword and stood up, finishing his practice, Su Xiaozhi spoke gently.

Cao Ze walked into the main room with a smile on his face, and was delighted when he saw the food that had just been served on the table.

Today Su Xiaozhi specially stewed sour radish and old duck soup.

With their current level of cultivation, even the oldest duck soup will have little effect on them, but it still tastes really good!
With a thought, a ball of old duck soup the size of a walnut flew out of the bowl, condensed into a ball, and flew to Cao Ze's mouth.

Cao Ze opened his mouth and swallowed the old duck soup. The soup was delicate and smooth, flowing in his mouth like silk.

Then, a deep and delicious duck flavor blooms on the tip of your tongue. It has both the delicious meat and a unique mellow feeling, as if telling the growth process of the old duck. There is also a faint herbal fragrance in the soup, which makes the whole taste rich and long-lasting.

Cao Ze closed his eyes and savored the taste of the old duck soup. Su Xiaozhi on the side was already stunned. This method was no longer something that a warrior could do. However, the legendary Qi Refiner might be able to do it.

After his water control was improved to perfection, Cao Ze is now able to completely control the sea water within a radius of ten meters. If he were in the sea, this would be a terrifying force. Imagine a ball of sea water with a radius of ten meters hitting a person, the force would probably be no less than hundreds of thousands of pounds.

And if it is in a certain direction, this control power is as much as twenty meters.

In other words, Cao Ze could drink the old duck soup stewed by Su Xiaozhi in the outer courtyard in a very elegant manner.

Call up the panel,

[Son of the Sea: Riding the Waves: Not yet started (0/100000)

Spiritual consciousness: Not yet entered (0/100000)

Tianwei: Not yet started (0/100000)]

The profession of fisherman has evolved again!

From a Tide Hunter to a Son of the Sea!
And looking at these three attributes, Cao Ze's heart was pounding.

You can tell from the name alone that these are all good things.

However, the progress bar behind each attribute made Cao Ze feel a little daunted. Obviously, this Son of the Sea did not seem to be something he could control now.

But Cao Ze believes that this day is not far away.

……

Langya Pavilion.

The heads of the four families gathered here, but they all silently flipped through the booklets in their hands. It was a long while before everyone finished reading.

They silently closed the books in their hands and looked at each other, as if they were organizing and planning their next words.

"This is a blood refining technique that is not inferior to the one inherited by the four great families!"

Bai Yuanze, the head of the Bai family, spoke first.

"Not only is it not weak, it is obviously much stronger."

Lu Bohan, the head of the Lu family, said bluntly, "This kind of technique is the best even in the Xuanbao Pavilion!"

"It's a pity that the other treasures in the ruins have been taken away, otherwise, the treasures in it would probably not be worse than Xuanbao Pavilion."

"It's a pity that we were born at the wrong time. If we practiced this technique, perhaps our cultivation could be further improved, and we might even be able to peek into a higher level."

"Be careful!"

Yue Zhenting coughed lightly and interrupted Lu Bohan's words.

Now that Daqian is in decline, Donghai County has long been out of Daqian's control. The one that truly controls Daqian now is the sect's Xuanbao Pavilion. Strictly speaking, they are all disciples of Xuanbao Pavilion. If such discussions are heard by people with ulterior motives, it may cause some trouble.

Ye Bufan, the head of the Ye family, snorted. He was very annoyed by Yue Zhenting's cautious appearance, but he didn't say much. He just changed the subject and said, "The man in black was able to send back such a precious technique. He is also a trustworthy person."

"If we can recruit such a person, he may become the backbone of the four major families in time."

The three of them subconsciously looked at Lu Bohan, and finally Bai Yuanze spoke up, "Does your Lu family kid really not know the identity of that person?"

If the man in black really just wanted to find a random errand boy, there was no need to find Lu Chenan alone this time. This would undoubtedly increase the risk of being exposed. This is also the reason why the Lu family did not monitor Lu Chenan later.

But since the other party did this, there must be a deeper meaning. It is very likely that Lu Chenan is familiar with the man in black.

"That kid probably really doesn't know."

Lu Bohan shook his head. "But that kid has a generous personality and likes to do good deeds. He has saved many people before. Maybe that's why he caught the eye of the man in black. But he has saved so many people that he has no idea where to find him."

"Since we can't find him, then forget about looking for him. Let him come to find us!"

Ye Bufan was confident, and without waiting for the other three to ask questions, he continued, "My Ye family is willing to provide you with the opportunity to comprehend the Mountain-Crossing Seal Visualization Diagram, plus a drop of dragon blood!"

The language is amazing!

Langya Pavilion suddenly became quiet.

Even the heads of the three major families who had seen countless rare treasures were still shocked by Ye Bufan's extraordinary handicraft.

The opportunity to comprehend the visualization diagram is not a bad thing. After all, the visualization diagram is there and it will not disappear just because someone is comprehending it. This opportunity is a benefit that comes without any cost.

But dragon blood is an extremely precious thing. It is a peerless treasure that allows a warrior who has achieved great success in organ refining to glimpse the realm of blood refining!

With the rise of warriors, dragons have become increasingly rare. They often hide in deep mountains, swamps, or in the distant deep sea, and are simply impossible to find.

Moreover, the Jiao is a species of dragon, and its supernatural power can overturn rivers and seas. Even a grandmaster would not dare to say that he can kill a Jiao in the sea.

And the blood of the Jiao is not the blood of an ordinary Jiao dragon, but the essence of the Jiao!

Killing a dragon would only yield about a hundred drops of dragon blood.

Pig blood feeds pigs, dragon blood feeds dragons!

The purpose of the Blood Refining Stage is to cultivate strong blood. If a warrior can take dragon blood in advance and feel the power therein, it can greatly increase the chance of breaking through to the Blood Refining Stage.

This is not dragon blood at all, it is a thoroughfare leading to the realm of blood refining!

"Brother Ye, do you think highly of that person?"

After a long while, Lu Bohan finally asked.

Ye Bufan did not answer, but asked, "Brother Lu, do you think that man in black is an organization or an individual?"

Lu Bohan immediately understood what he meant.

In other words, Ye Bufan believed that the man in black was the same person from beginning to end.

So, more than a year ago, he killed the Bone Forging Realm pirate Crazy Shark on an unknown island, half a year ago, he killed the leader of the Iron Blood Pirates Saladin at sea, a few months ago, he killed the Bishop of the Sea God Church outside the Green Water Village, and a month ago, he swept through a group of organ refining masters in the ruins, including masters like the Blood Demon Guard and the Sea Wolf King...

With this rate of growth, it is almost certain that he will become a grandmaster in the future.

Therefore, the benefit that Ye Bufan offered was not to recruit a genius in the Organ Refining Realm, but to recruit a master!
His offer, then, was reasonable.

"The Yue family can also provide opportunities for comprehension of the visualization diagram, plus a spiritual weapon!"

The family heads were not stupid, they naturally had their own judgments, and Yue Zhenting was the first to speak.

Bai Yuanze smiled bitterly, but also said, "The Bai family can also provide the opportunity to comprehend the visualization diagram, plus a top-grade protective magic weapon, which can block three attacks from a half-step master!"

"You can comprehend the Lu family visualization diagram at will, plus ten bottles of refining pills!"

In a short period of time, the four major parties reached a consensus.

They just didn't believe that the man in black could remain calm despite such a huge reward.

The things they provided were enough to escort the man in black all the way to the Blood Refining Realm, and they even provided them with weapons.

As long as that person is willing to join the four major families, he only needs to spend three to five years to digest these resources. He is almost destined to break through to the Blood Refining Realm, become a half-step master, and then complete and become a true master!
Cao Ze, who was practicing hard at home, had no idea that his worth had suddenly doubled, but this news caused an uproar in Cape City.

Countless people drooled at the treasures provided by the four major families, wishing they were the man in black.

A treasure of this level is more than enough to recruit a genius in the Organ Refining Realm, let alone a half-step grandmaster.

Everyone has gone crazy, and many people even took direct action, pretending to be men in black to collect the reward.

But strength and potential are things that cannot be faked, especially since the four major families have mastered one of the biggest characteristics of the man in black, the power of the sword!
Anyone who can comprehend the power of the sword in the Refining Organs Realm is worth recruiting, even if he is not the man in black.

Unfortunately, none of these people could comprehend the power of the sword, and naturally, they were all exposed by the four major families and given severe punishments. Only then was the trend of impersonating men in black finally curbed.

After calming down, people became even more confused. They hadn't heard of the men in black doing anything earth-shattering recently, so why did the four major families suddenly improve their treatment of the men in black?
They didn't know that those who knew the inside story were also shocked.

The man in black was indeed very strong, but in their opinion, it was not worth such a big deal.

But they also knew that this decision was made by the heads of the four major families. Could the Grandmaster's vision be worse than theirs?
So they had to accept a fact that made them gasp: the man in black was much stronger than they had imagined!
