Starting From A Fisherman To Cultivate Immortality And Live Forever

Chapter 101: The Shocking Incident at Yunshan!

The Great Compassion Temple.

After a period of time, the fervor of the Dharma assembly gradually ceased to attract public attention.

Only Master Yuan Ci knew that several dozen Daoist friends with high qualifications had become long-term residents in the temple's side rooms.

In addition, the association above had inquired several times, but Master Yuan Ci had always evaded their questions with riddles.

Anyway, the content of the scriptures had already been collected by the official broadcasting station, and it was all about urging people to do good and ward off evil.

There was no negative influence.

And most importantly, the Great Compassion Temple did not use this Dharma assembly to start fundraising or establish a mysterious organization.

For the believers, it was just an additional reminder to be sincere and willing to contribute to the eradication of evil.

Therefore, when Su Ping came quietly at night...

In the darkness, the Great Compassion Temple still appeared as an ordinary temple with a thriving incense.

Even so, Su Ping would not personally take risks. Instead, he stood at a distance and sent the spirit mice Xiao Bai and Xiao Hui to take the lead.

Currently, the danger seemed not great. At least, many places in the temple's rear hall had not yet installed new surveillance cameras.

Obviously, the higher-ups had noticed that something seemed amiss at the Great Compassion Temple, but with so many recent anomalies, they didn't pay much attention until something major happened. They wouldn't go all out to search for nonexistent extraordinary traces.

Su Ping had no intention of finding Master Yuan Ci this time.

He came quietly, allowing Xiao Bai and Xiao Hui to take away the successfully purified sealed artifacts and replace them with new ones.

The whole process was considered complete.

"Not bad!"

"With this Dharma assembly and the accumulation during this period, we have purified the remnants of evil spirits in thirty sealed artifacts."

"Is this the advantage of having many people?"

"Jinque City has been around for a longer time, and there hasn't been a single completely purified one... Of course, this is also because they are too scattered, with only a few thousand to over ten thousand people worshiping at each sacrificial site, and most of them are the same group of people."

"This achievement is beyond my initial expectations!"

Su Ping looked at the news. During this period, Master Yuan Ci had received hundreds of teams specifically coming to worship.

There were countless individual visitors and believers who came because of the temple's reputation.

This Vajra Demon Subduing Formation had at least borne the beliefs of millions of different believers.

And among them, there were devout believers who played a role of one against a hundred.

After observing the abilities of these high monks, even though they were still in mortal bodies, Su Ping had no doubt about their ability to guide believers to be devout in a short period of time.

"A large-scale Dharma assembly once every three years, a small-scale one once a year, is still too slow."

"This kind of Dharma assembly that can bring merit should be held whenever there is a chance."

"To gain merit, one still needs to put in some effort."

Su Ping thought for a moment and, through Xiao Bai, saw that Master Yuan Ci had not yet fallen asleep. Instead, he was meditating and reciting scriptures.

Under the cover of darkness, the ghost messenger, who had been cast with an invisibility spell, floated to the cliff behind the temple and flew to Master Yuan Ci's room with familiarity.

Thud! Thud thud!

Master Yuan Ci, who was meditating, suddenly heard a knocking sound on the wall.

After a slight tremor, Master Yuan Ci realized that it was a Buddhist affinity and quickly got up and looked towards the decorated wall, saying, "Please come in."

However, something unexpected happened to Master Yuan Ci.

The ghost messenger did not come through the wall but instead arrived at the door of the room and pushed it open.

In Master Yuan Ci's eyes, it was as if the door opened by itself without any wind, accompanied by a cold night breeze. A chilling voice sounded from the emptiness in front of him.

If it weren't for the fact that Master Yuan Ci had also been to the Illusory Dream Temple and had seen the ghost messenger, he would have thought that he had encountered an evil spirit seeking his life!

The ghost messenger was also helpless. It could pass through walls, but it couldn't carry the small box it was supposed to bring. So it had to fly to the main entrance and enter through the threshold.

Fortunately, Master Yuan Ci didn't mind these things. After hearing the voice of the ghost messenger, he was overjoyed to learn that the venerables were satisfied with this Dharma assembly.

They also hoped to hold similar assemblies in the future.

Naturally, Master Yuan Ci quickly agreed and expressed that he had already discussed it with those fellow practitioners. In one month, at the Great Compassion Temple, a larger Dharma assembly would be held!

This time, many teams that hadn't come before would come.

Those devout believers have been eagerly anticipating it for a long time.

Many devout individuals have long envied the believers who were able to come last time.

Su Ping was quite satisfied with this response.

The Ghost Messenger used the excuse of a reward from the Elder to give Master Yuan Ci a small box of strong body-enhancing pills, as well as a martial arts technique.

One night passed.

The fellow disciples who lived in the Great Compassion Temple were astonished to find that Master Yuan Ci's spirit seemed to have rejuvenated by ten years in just one day!

And when they made eye contact with him, they couldn't help but feel ashamed because of his sharp and radiant gaze.

"Hiss!"

"Yuan Ci, you said you couldn't really use magic!"

These fellow disciples were excited, and if it weren't for the wrong place, they would have probably rolled up their sleeves and sought guidance long ago.

Meanwhile, Su Ping had already returned to the Niepo side and also retrieved the successfully purified sealing artifact.

However, Su Ping had no intention of giving any benefits to those mages.

This also aligned with the mages' consistent understanding of ghosts and gods.

Capricious, ungrateful, and refraining from wanton killing is already a good ghost or god.

Moreover, Su Ping was already clear in his heart that Tapu's granddaughter was the biggest carrot.

Wait until Shana Vati grows up and returns home.

Ensuring that these mages will be motivated to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the cause of exorcism for the rest of their lives.

...

Boom!

In front of the Moon Listening to Wind Pavilion.

Su Ping threw a punch, colliding with the ice crystal greatsword summoned by the exorcist Yun Kong.

At the moment of the explosion of the fist intent and the ice sword, more than ten ice crystal longswords appeared around Yun Kong, stabbing towards Su Ping like swordsmanship.

Su Ping swung his fist, and there was occasionally a white qi swirling around his fist, able to extinguish one longsword each time.

In the end, Su Ping and Yun Kong fought until they were exhausted before separating evenly.

"You've improved. This time, without relying on the blessings of the fox-faced priestess, you can fight Yun Kong to a draw."

"Indeed, simply cultivating in seclusion is not enough. Continuous actual combat can accelerate the consumption of medicinal power and increase cultivation speed!"

After this battle, Su Ping felt that almost all the power of the divine cultivation pill he had taken yesterday had been absorbed by his cells as a warm flow.

This method is indeed very effective, combining actual combat with seclusion. However, it's just that Su Ping, who has life spirit medicines without worries, has the conditions to do so.

Otherwise, for normal cultivators, how could they fight head-on with cultivators of the same realm?

Many times, sparring in the training ground is just enough.

It's about everyone being good to each other.

Otherwise, if you get injured and damage your foundation, it would not be worth it!

After the fight, Su Ping, who felt extremely comfortable all over his body, suddenly felt fortunate and quickly took the purification spirit medicine to break the poison that had accumulated during this period.

Suddenly!

As if the shackles that had been there all along were released, Su Ping had a feeling of being as light as a swallow.

His mana increased by 30%, but that wasn't the main point.

What was more important was that his divine sense increased once again.

By now, his divine sense could spread within a radius of twenty meters like the back of his hand.

And it could extend up to one hundred and fifty meters with a vague sense of perception.

Su Ping didn't know if the Foundation Building cultivators just now had such strong divine sense.

After all, most of his understanding of Foundation Building came from storytellers and novels.

Most of the mentions of Foundation Building were about a radius of one hundred meters, but it was unclear whether it was as familiar as the back of their hand or had a certain sense of perception.

In this aspect, Su Ping could feel that there was a huge difference after having divine sense!

Fortunately, after reaching the eighth level of Body Tempering, I have now also reached the eighth level of Qi Refining!

It is truly a cause for celebration!

Su Ping performed a ten-draw to celebrate.

In this ten-draw, finally, a partner card identical to the previous one appeared: the Fox-faced Witch.

So, while leisurely eating tofu on the attic and watching two cultivators fight to relieve boredom, the apprentice Fox-faced Witch, Sakura, became the second beneficiary after this battle.

Accompanied by a purple light emanating from her body.

Sakura, the Fox-faced Witch, realized that she had become an official witch.

Although her cultivation as a support role remained at the late stage of Qi Refining without much improvement, the blessings brought by her skills became stronger, especially the extra boost to her Thunder Mark attack, which reached a higher level, reaching the peak of Qi Refining.

She became another trump card for Su Ping to use against enemies.

Good things come in pairs. After returning to the cultivation world, Su Ping also took a rare break for himself and relaxed for a day, regardless of any cultivation-related matters.

The next morning, after waking up and adjusting his mindset, he continued to work hard for the goal of immortality and freedom in cultivation!

Cultivate, fish, cultivate.

Occasionally, he would take action to maintain the stability of the Golden Sparrow City.

After the monks from the Little Golden Light Temple came and took away a batch of sealed artifacts, Su Ping also completed another fishing trip to Xuanturtle Island and the other two fishing spots.

As a result, his fishing level was about to reach the edge of leveling up.

[Current fishing level: Level 4 (1630/2000)]

During this trip to Xuanturtle Island, Su Ping tried riding the Great Blackfish Chiwen.

He found that when it entered the sea, it was like a dragon entering the ocean.

Even in the overseas islands with insufficient spiritual energy, its aura skyrocketed, reaching the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Unfortunately, once it left the seawater, it immediately withered and reverted to a small black dragonfish at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

However, this pleasant surprise made Su Ping decide to prioritize providing it with the dragon blood of the two Flowing Pattern False Dragonfish.

He hoped that the Great Blackfish could step into the late stage of Qi Refining as soon as possible and become another great help for him!

"The Little Golden Light Temple has started to collect successfully purified sealed artifacts."

"Then the large markets with merit monuments should also have people exchanging for merit now."

"If I go at this time, it shouldn't attract too much attention, right?"

Su Ping felt a little tempted.

During this period, when he went fishing at the Water Blue Star Reservoir, he also took the opportunity to collect sealed artifacts.

The number of purified artifacts in his hand has reached fifty.

He didn't know how the merit of these sealed artifacts was calculated, and he didn't want to be drawn by the Little Golden Light Temple.

So he planned to go to the Golden Cloud Mountain market again to calculate how much merit he still needed to accumulate while also replenishing some goods.

In addition, he also needed to go to the mountain gate to continue exchanging for pills.

After discovering that the medium-grade pills he exchanged last time could accelerate absorption during actual combat, even if he used them sparingly, he only had one left!

At the Golden Cloud Mountain market, Su Ping used the identity of the Crane Boy from last time.

First, he ensured that he had enough materials in the market.

Then he found the residence of the Little Golden Light Temple, attracting the surprised gazes of the knowledgeable monks.

Su Ping handed over one sealed artifact after another to the merit monument.

After a while of calculation, a copper coin flew out of the merit monument.

The copper coin was engraved with a line of numbers:

[Merit: 13,050]

Su Ping looked at this merit and recalled the prices of the items in the merit monument.

It seems... I have quite a lot of merit?

In addition, the merit exchanged for each sealed artifact was also different, which should be related to the original strength of the sealed evil spirit.

The most expensive items in the merit monument were all worth millions of merit, but those were all spirit treasures.

Su Ping can't use the exchange now.

As for the ability that Su Ping cares most about, the price of the Thousand Arms and Thousand Hands Great Freedom Divine Ability is only 80,000 merits.

Referring to the experience of the Daci Temple, it should be relatively easy to gather a few more merit fields to accumulate these merits.

As for the merits now.

Su Ping doesn't plan to save them anymore. It's not easy for him to come out.

As he reached out and touched the Merit Stele to exchange, a series of golden lights quickly emitted from the Merit Stele.

Various rare medicinal materials that are difficult for small sects to obtain, rare spirit rice seeds, and auxiliary materials for techniques were exchanged.

Especially a bronze pill furnace worth 5,000 merits, rumored to be donated by the Dan Ding Sect, is the best pill furnace for Qi Refining stage cultivators.

Even the pill formulas for Foundation Building stage can be fully supported by this bronze pill furnace.

After putting the items into his storage bag, Su Ping quickly left the market.

Unlike last time.

This time, Su Ping can be considered to have a large sum of money.

As a result, shortly after leaving the Jinyun Mountain market, Su Ping felt someone closely following him.

However, Su Ping didn't plan to act like a tiger and immediately accelerated his pace, disappearing into the dense forest in the blink of an eye.

This caused several small teams with ulterior motives to be surprised.

They quickly followed into the forest.

They soon realized that the other party's speed was too fast.

In just a few breaths, they were pulled far away.

And quickly lost track of the other party!

How are they supposed to rob halfway like this!

After coming back to their senses, some of them were terrified, realizing that they had no power to fight back if the other party really confronted them.

Some people chose to immediately report this information, unwilling to accept it.

The portrait of Baihe Tongzi appeared on the desks of many Qi Refining stage cultivators.

In terms of cultivation, it was written that the other party seemed to be at the Consummation of Body Tempering stage!

"A cultivator at the Consummation of Body Tempering stage!"

Several local cultivation families immediately issued orders to search for him, not to rob him.

But hoping to establish a good relationship with such a talented individual by paying a high price.

After all, in the current cultivation world, it is quite rare to find someone who can strengthen their physique with a large amount of medicine and reach the Consummation of Body Tempering stage.

Such a cultivator most likely has a spirit body related to physical cultivation.

Not to mention the future prospects of reaching Foundation Building, their path after successfully reaching Foundation Building would be much higher than many fellow cultivators.

Such a cultivator is already worth bending over backwards for some Foundation Building cultivators.

Su Ping avoided unknown troubles by relying on his speed.

And in the middle, he restored his original form and experienced the joy of ordinary life in a big city, while waiting for the cooldown of the Memory Wand.

Only then did he change back into the appearance of the Mage Yun Kong, the white-haired youth.

Ready to go to the Hall of Merits to exchange for pills.

However!

Just as he arrived in the area where the Jinyun Mountain market is located.

Su Ping was shocked to find that there was a fierce battle happening ahead!

In the sky, hundreds of fairy boats of the same style but different models were fighting each other in the air.

There was a big fire in the Jinyun Mountain market!

Above the flames, someone shouted loudly:

"Brothers and sisters, the formation has been broken!"

"The opportunity for immortality is right in front of us! First come, first served!"
