Starting From A Fisherman To Cultivate Immortality And Live Forever

Chapter 107: How is this possible!

Regarding the sudden outbreak of rat infestation in the city.

The Stick Nation only treated it as entertainment news and covered it up.

There was some buzz on the internet, but it didn't last long.

While rats were the news focus, the giant rats in Gaul Country attracted more attention.

Many people were more interested in who would be the ultimate winner in the war between Gaul Country and the rats.

And beneath the surface.

Those with power and money always knew more information and details.

During the ceremony held by the Star of Enlightenment Church, an incredible miracle occurred, and it became the only church that was spared from the rat disaster.

This piqued their interest, prompting them to visit even if they weren't in that city, and offer some support.

This support greatly strengthened the financial resources of the Star of Enlightenment Church.

And in the Stick Nation, financial resources easily transformed into manpower and material resources.

Then, relief points of the Star of Enlightenment Church appeared on various streets.

They even replaced the original White Dragon Church's shelter in the central district, turning the homeless into their own followers.

At the same time, the grand hall where the ceremony was held was designated as the holy land of the church by Bishop Li Yongxiu.

All followers were required to come and pray at least once a week, contributing to the mission of driving out evil as the Angelic King.

In reality, there was no need for the bishop's orders.

The followers wished to pray every day, hoping to receive blessings.

With the growth of the Star of Enlightenment Church.

The rumors about miracles became more and more exaggerated.

There were even rumors that the blessed followers who were deemed incurable by doctors would miraculously recover!

As for rumors like the blind suddenly regaining sight, or the crippled suddenly being able to stand, they had long spread throughout the region influenced by the church.

In the process of gradual growth, these actions also successfully attracted the attention of some intelligence personnel from major forces.

However, these intelligence personnel naturally couldn't report and take credit like that.

So they did a little investigation.

The result was seeing the scene of the Blood Angels captured on video.

They didn't find any traces of photoshopping, so they investigated the blessed followers.

As expected... they didn't find any convincing examples of the blessed recovering from incurable illnesses.

As a result, the video was classified as some kind of special effects magic.

As a result, they lost most of their interest.

Instead, some experts applied for research funding under the pretext of the rat disaster, making them indirect beneficiaries of the incident.

With Su Ping's help.

The Star of Enlightenment Church officially entered a period of rapid development.

Su Ping also relaxed a little and returned to the cultivation world.

During this time, the Golden Sparrow City remained on high alert.

After learning that Su Ping had returned to the Lin Yue Villa, the City Lord and Ji Hu and others took the initiative to come to the villa to see Su Ping.

Su Ping also learned that in the past few days, the area around Golden Sparrow City had become increasingly restless.

It wasn't because the nearby Qi Xin Sect had started making moves again.

After they gained control of the Cloud Mountain Market, they focused on doing business, and even traded with cultivation families within the Red Kite Immortal Sect's sphere of influence.

It was because it seemed like the Red Kite Immortal Sect was really in trouble.

Some foreign cultivators gradually became bolder.

They didn't dare to go to large-scale markets like the Golden Cloud Mountain Market.

So they set their sights on Nine Leaf Mountain Market, a place with first-grade inferior spiritual veins.

These places were not highly regarded by larger sects.

But they were still attractive to these outer sect cultivators and wandering cultivators.

And once it's captured, there will still be things to plunder, right?

So, just two days ago, a group of foreign cultivators, who knows where they came from, gathered dozens of scattered cultivators and hundreds of elite bandits, along with a mortal army composed of several thousand ruffians. They surrounded the Nine Leaf Mountain Market!

Then they sent people to the vicinity of the Golden Sparrow City to demand provisions.

The city lord's mansion of Golden Sparrow City didn't dare to provoke the other party, so besides reporting the situation, they also provided a small amount of provisions and sent away those ruffian messengers.

"I know about this."

Su Ping nodded slightly, neither approving nor disapproving of the city lord's mansion's actions.

The strength of the city lord's mansion was already struggling against scattered cultivators, let alone foreign cultivators daring to besiege the market.

In this increasingly chaotic environment, occupying the spiritual vein territory also meant adding trouble.

It's still better to be on one's own in this city with thin spiritual energy.

The slightly stronger forces aren't interested in causing trouble for themselves.

Su Ping even suspected that the foreign cultivators and warriors might know about him.

Those genuine foreign cultivators probably didn't even know that the Golden Sparrow City had gained a supervisor in the past year!

"But this Nine Leaf Mountain is too close to Golden Sparrow City."

After hearing this news, Su Ping sent away the city lord and others, then sat cross-legged in his bedroom and connected to the group of mice.

Immediately, through the memory fragments of the group of mice, Su Ping saw the great battle that broke out in the Nine Leaf Mountain Market.

From the memory fragments, Su Ping was surprised to find that the inner disciple who had a slight connection with him in the bronze mirror was also in the market.

It was also because of the existence of this inner disciple that the Nine Leaf Mountain Market was able to hold on until now and gained the support of the wealthy families at the foot of the mountain. With the blessing of formations, they even gained a certain advantage.

However, foreign cultivators have been receiving reinforcements these past two days.

And the Nine Leaf Mountain Market seems to be isolated.

In this situation of one side growing stronger while the other side weakens, it's afraid that they won't be able to hold on until the end!

"It was indeed correct to speed up the accumulation of merit."

"Now this territory is becoming more and more dangerous. Right now, it's only the Nine Leaf Mountain Market. When more foreign cultivators who smell blood arrive, someone will surely think that even mosquito legs are meat and quietly come to find me, the supervisor."

Just as Su Ping was thinking about this, his expression became strange.

It was because when he was about to get up and go fishing, his divine sense, with the help of the spirit mice Little White and Little Grey, vaguely discovered that there were two cultivators hidden in the Linyue Lake.

Accompanied by Su Ping pretending not to know, he slowly approached the lake.

The two cultivators lurking at the bottom of the lake were also detected in terms of their cultivation base. They were foreign cultivators at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer, who didn't follow the orthodox path. Their techniques should be related to water, and they had been lurking at the bottom of the lake for some time, yet they didn't feel any discomfort or suffocation.

Su Ping could guess that these two probably knew that Golden Sparrow City had a supervisor with a good reputation and a fishing addiction.

So they had hidden themselves in advance at the bottom of the lake.

If the person they encountered was really an ordinary Qi Refining Middle Stage supervisor who liked fishing...

Under their ambush, their chances of winning should be extremely high.

However... not now.

Su Ping sighed lightly in his heart.

As a fishing enthusiast, he actually didn't like this kind of windfall.

Why do these guys just line up to deliver themselves?

Su Ping was already at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, even among the outer disciples, he was considered a top-notch cultivator.

In peacetime, someone like him could even become an elder in small-scale cultivation families like the Yun family.

Su Ping sat in his usual position and started fishing.

As the number of fishing attempts gradually decreased, the two assailants in the lake no longer had a chance to surface.

His divine sense easily suppressed their five senses, and then the fishhook infused with mana directly fell and entangled their bodies.

With a slight force, not even a bubble emerged.

The lives of the two Qi Refining Fourth Layer cultivators disappeared under Su Ping's fishing rod.

Su Ping calmly finished fishing and then pulled up the storage bag.

Hmm... Does fishing up a storage bag count as empty-handed?

After that, he set off early for Xuan Turtle Island, not planning to wait for Su Ping to accumulate two times. While resting on the road, he looked at the contents of the storage bag.

To his surprise, he discovered that these two were actually foreign cultivators who had received news of the attack on the Nine Leaf Mountain Market and were preparing to join forces.

They and the cultivators besieging Nine Leaf Mountain were all from a cultivator alliance composed of more than ten small sects in the Southern Wilderness.

The leader of the group was a true disciple of one of the sects and had a good reputation in the alliance.

That's why he was able to gather many people to come and help.

According to what these two had not yet sent out, they believed that their cultivation level was too low and going there wouldn't be of much benefit, but they would still have to work hard.

So they planned to leisurely travel through the mortal realm, enjoying the mountains and waters along the way, and hoped that the recipient of their letter could help them.

Su Ping estimated that they had also heard about the deeds of the City Inspector of Golden Sparrow City.

And they learned that this City Inspector had killed several demonic beasts!

As proper cultivators, they should not believe the rumors spread among the common people.

But they could also guess that this City Inspector had probably been lucky enough to encounter young or heavily injured demonic beasts.

So, driven by greed, they carefully studied and discovered the fishing quirk of this City Inspector.

And then... they became their own money-making little gods.

Xuan Turtle Island, the sea area.

Su Ping, who had transformed into the white-haired youth Yun Kong, sat on the back of the Great Black Fish, breaking through the waves, and also noticed that there were many more fleets on the sea recently.

Among them were large-scale ships capable of carrying hundreds of people.

During this time, the cultivators on the ships also saw the white-haired youth and became highly vigilant.

Especially those with detection devices, after discovering that Yun Kong had the strength of the late stage of Qi Refining and Body Tempering, they became even more cautious, and the entire fleet came to a halt.

They waited for Su Ping to disappear on the horizon while riding the Great Black Fish before daring to continue.

This gave Su Ping the illusion that he was also a great expert.

Then Su Ping thought and realized that at least in these overseas islands, it was indeed the case!

Late stage of Qi Refining was extremely rare here, let alone his nine layers of Qi Refining!

Su Ping had been to Xuan Turtle Island several times and was familiar with the place.

He let the Great Black Fish stay underwater by the shore and went directly to the Heavenly Pool to start fishing.

This time, luck was good. Previously, he had reached the maximum number of times in Lin Yue Lake and the Eastern District Reservoir, gaining 140 points of experience.

Although he only accumulated once this time, he also reached the maximum limit of 100 times.

After fishing, his experience reached:

[Current fishing level: Level 4 (1990/2000)]

At the same time, Su Ping also obtained the second flowery gold dragon fish that could increase his spiritual consciousness on Xuan Turtle Island!

Without hesitation, Su Ping directly consumed it.

His spiritual consciousness soared once again.

This time, he could perceive everything within a hundred and fifty meters.

The sensing range vaguely broke through five hundred meters!

Such spiritual consciousness intensity seemed to be no weaker than the usual performance of those Foundation Building cultivators in immortal cultivation novels.

In Su Ping's mind, a thought even arose that perhaps he could find a Foundation Building cultivator to seek advice.

But soon he shook his head slightly and gave up this impulse.

It would be better to wait until he learned his own divine ability and, relying on the premise of not fearing failure brought by purifying spirit medicines, he could achieve Foundation Building without relying on Foundation Building pills. Then he could seek advice.

Perhaps he could even go to the Qi Xin Sect or other sects for Foundation Building, and then mix in some benefits as a guest?

Judging from the performance of the Qi Xin Sect and those Southern Wilderness sects before.

The strong control they had over the lower and middle levels was indeed a rarity in the cultivation world.

No wonder the records of the Immortal Sect always mention the domineering behavior of the Red Kite Immortal, often using his sword to suppress those who do not submit...

After adapting to his divine consciousness, Su Ping left the Heavenly Pool and came to the shore.

Then he noticed that there were a large number of ships on the horizon of this sea area.

These ships were flying the same flag: Dongli.

"The Dongli family that runs the Hundred Treasures Pavilion?"

Su Ping muttered to himself, not afraid of being discovered and letting Dahei float up.

He was now the Demon Hunter Yun Kong.

Even if someone paid attention, they wouldn't be able to find out his true identity.

On the sea, the target of the Dongli family's fleet was Xuangui Island.

They planned to bring this island under the influence of the Dongli family's overseas branch.

In their eyes, this was almost a sure thing, but they didn't expect to see a cultivator with a special appearance preparing to leave as soon as they saw the coastline.

"Dad, this person seems suspicious. Should we call him over for questioning?"

On the deck of a warship, behind a middle-aged man wearing armor, a sword cultivator was eager to try.

And his eyes were fixed on Dahei, feeling a bit tempted.

A father knows his son best, and the armored man knew what his son was thinking. In fact, he was also a bit tempted.

Especially since the other party was alone, while their side had a fully armed fleet.

And these warships were not ordinary mortal ships. After the family decided to migrate a part of their clan to the overseas islands, they spent a large sum of spirit stones to purchase these warships that were inscribed with formations.

With the help of artifacts and the formations inside the warships, as long as there were enough spirit stones, the warships could become integrated offensive and defensive weapons!

Coupled with the assistance of many wandering cultivators in activating attack artifacts, the fleet's combat power was still very strong.

However, they were the elite members of the Dongli family, who were well-known for doing business.

The armored man took out a bronze mirror, silently recited an incantation, and aimed it at the white-haired youth in the distance.

This mirror was different from the detection artifacts used by other cultivators.

Not only was it an upgraded version that was more expensive, but it also incorporated the divine ability of an elder from the Dongli family.

It was the Dongli family's Spirit Communication Treasure Mirror, extremely precious!

As a result, with a sound of surprise from Su Ping, he felt as if something was trying to reveal his true form through his memory illusion.

Just as Su Ping's eyebrows slightly furrowed, his fingers had already clenched the teleportation spell.

But that feeling disappeared even faster than before.

On the main ship of the Dongli family.

The armored man was looking at the cracked bronze mirror with a frightened sweat on his forehead.

He looked at the white-haired youth who was riding on Dahei and leaving the shore with fear and anxiety, his lips twitching for a while but unable to speak due to fear.

"Did we encounter a reclusive grand cultivator who cultivates the Heart Refining Art?"

"The Spirit Communication Treasure Mirror actually... actually shattered just from quietly observing him!"

"How high is the other party's cultivation level?"

"With such cultivation, he must have sensed our disrespectful actions just now, right?"

The young sword cultivator was puzzled, but he could also see that his father was not in the right state. Having developed some tact, he quickly closed his mouth and lowered his head.

After taking several deep breaths and realizing that the white-haired youth in the distance seemed to have ignored them and continued to move away, the armored man finally gritted his teeth and took out another Spirit Communication Treasure Mirror, which was also the last one in their branch.

But instead of detecting the white-haired youth, he took out a high-grade spirit stone with a pained expression, installed it, and chanted a spell, conveying all the information he had just learned.

But within a few seconds, words appeared on this palm-sized treasure mirror:

[Don't joke around, how could the family treasure mirror shatter for such a reason!]

[...]

[Don't panic, I will report to the ancestor and use divine abilities to search the treasure mirror's memory. It will naturally clear up your confusion!]
