Starting From A Fisherman To Cultivate Immortality And Live Forever

Chapter 114: Young Xuan Turtle

In the Nine Leaf Mountain Market, a Foundation Building cultivator replaced the original market master.

This news shocked the high-ranking officials and wealthy individuals of the Golden Sparrow City. They were afraid that they would wake up to a completely different world.

If they encountered someone with an unappealing appearance, it wouldn't be as simple as bleeding a little to overcome the difficulties.

Fortunately, as the news spread, the popularity of the Nine Leaf Mountain Market was restored. And the most important thing was!

Including the gifts sent by the surrounding cities and the Lin Yue Manor, the other party accepted them all and even replied to each one.

The reply stated that everything remained the same with four strong and powerful characters!

These four characters inclined people to believe that this was a reasonable and righteous Foundation Building cultivator!

They all breathed a sigh of relief.

No one thought that the other party was deliberately deceiving them.

After all, they knew their own worth. Their own interests were not enough to make a Foundation Building cultivator break their promise!

Especially when they learned that this Foundation Building cultivator planned to spend a few years consolidating their cultivation before accepting disciples and establishing a sect in the Nine Leaf Mountain.

Although the master was only a Foundation Building cultivator, their success was obviously limited to a small sect.

But for many wealthy families in the mortal world, if they could have a child selected, even if they had a low-grade spiritual root...

The gap between outer disciples who couldn't obtain resources from a sect and those who were personally taught by a Foundation Building cultivator was still significant.

The former mostly stopped at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, while the latter had a high probability of advancing further and had the opportunity to receive the attention and special training of a Foundation Building cultivator.

Within the influence of the Nine Leaf Mountain, there were many large families with children who had entered the mid-stage of Qi Refining and had at least low-grade spiritual roots.

They were already considering whether to wait and send some of their children to the Nine Leaf Mountain to try and become disciples.

Baihe True Immortal's promise to keep everything the same stabilized people's hearts, and he also made the decision to publicly establish a sect in this place.

The foreign cultivators who knew about this matter, as long as they weren't evil cultivators with a problem in their heads, would more or less give face to a Foundation Building cultivator. At least they wouldn't engage in constant fighting and killing near the Nine Leaf Mountain Market!

The Golden Sparrow City also benefited from this and obtained a rare peace in the current harsh environment.

Even some wandering cultivators who had participated in the siege of the Nine Leaf Mountain, borrowed resources from wealthy families in the Golden Sparrow City, and then escaped, voluntarily returned to repay double the borrowed resources.

Afterward, they went to the Nine Leaf Mountain to beg for forgiveness and hoped to be taken in by the Foundation Building power.

Su Ping, however, simply ignored this and left it to his subordinates to handle.

In the eyes of his subordinates, besides cultivating in seclusion, Su Ping would occasionally leave for four or five days for training purposes.

After all, he was already the biggest figure in the Nine Leaf Mountain.

As the boss, there was no one who could manage him.

As for stealing and embezzlement by his subordinates... Su Ping had arranged strict surveillance in important areas.

Petty theft and embezzlement were common occurrences in management, and since he had delegated authority, he had to bear the consequences. It was considered a normal cost of operation.

But if it goes too far, Su Ping doesn't mind a major bloodbath.

And in this cultivation world, as a Foundation Building cultivator, there is no need for evidence to directly convict someone verbally. Those people can be dealt with for corruption, and no one will think it's a setup or a case of killing a rabbit and cooking a dog.

No one would think that a Foundation Building cultivator needs to come up with a reason to deal with some subordinates!

................

At the Linyue Lake, after Su Ping finished fishing this week, he was lucky enough to catch a Qingling Fish.

After keeping it in the Pot Heaven Realm, the concentration of spiritual energy in the realm increased to:

[Current concentration of spiritual energy in the Pot Heaven Realm: Level 2 (40/200)]

Then, after Su Ping cultivated Soul Refining, he set foot on Xuanturtle Island for the first time!

However, this time, he would descend upon that sea area as a Foundation Building cultivator!

This time, no ship dared to secretly explore, and when they saw a figure in the sky, they would obediently avoid or stop sailing.

After Foundation Building, one could fly in the air, and Su Ping could also run to the Pot Heaven Realm to meditate and restore mana as if cheating.

The speed of movement was even faster than that of ordinary Foundation Building cultivators!

When passing through the Cloud Mountain Market, Su Ping saw the celestial boats in the sky.

Su Ping also considered whether to buy a celestial boat as a means of transportation in the cultivation world.

After inquiring about it, Su Ping found out that this thing was just a swallowing gold beast!

Now that the cultivation world is in turmoil, the prices of large-scale refining tools such as celestial boats have also skyrocketed.

Although most of the propulsion and defense systems can be activated using ordinary spirit stones, the medium to high-grade spirit stones required for their core formations are strategic resources of major sects and are not available on the market.

It's no wonder that only sects or large trading companies own celestial boats and use them frequently.

Most of the cultivation families that usually come and go still use vehicles and boats as their means of transportation.

Even if they can afford it... it's difficult to maintain it!

After rushing overnight at the expense of mana, Su Ping was able to fly to Xuanturtle Island.

And he saw that small manors had already been built on this island.

The original small fishing village has also been transformed into a medium-sized port, with five to six hundred-ton ships docked there.

Su Ping landed as Baihe True Person and was immediately received by the elder of the Dongli branch of this place.

After a friendly exchange, Su Ping was able to enter the Tianchi for fishing.

Seeing that the second-tier fishing spot on Xuanturtle Island was already full with 200 fishing attempts, Su Ping washed his hands and released his divine sense to avoid being spied on.

He also took out the Thunderlight Fox Talisman from his sleeve and prepared himself before starting to fish.

And by the coast, several spies from the Dongli family who sensed divine consciousness wisely retreated.

The elder, upon learning that the other party had really started fishing, didn't think much of it.

"No worries, I'll find someone to inquire about their background. They are an outsider who successfully built the Foundation Building in the market."

"I've seen many cultivators like this. Do they really think that their immortal fate will always favor them? Many come here to fish, and some even intentionally soak in the water for a month to feed the fish!"

"There's no immortal fate left in this place. Even if there was, it would have been taken by the ancestors of our Chiyan Immortal Sect!"

The branch elder calmed the restless hearts of those who were disturbed by the arrival of the Foundation Building cultivator.

Su Ping, on the other hand, was delighted and almost burst out laughing!

[Obtained fishing experience +1]

[Current fishing level: Level 5 (11/5000)]

[Obtained juvenile Xuan Turtle +1]

He didn't expect that after waiting for so long to come fishing, he would successfully catch the local specialty fish shortly after starting!

Su Ping quickly looked at the description of the fish he caught:

[Juvenile Xuan Turtle, quality: rare, can be contracted as a summoning spirit beast, can be upgraded, experience can slowly increase when raised in the pot's paradise!]

"It's a pity that it doesn't have any edible bonuses. Eating it won't bring much benefit."

After shaking his head slightly after reading the description, Su Ping summoned the juvenile Xuan Turtle.

Then he saw a small dark red turtle about the size of a palm appear in front of him, looking up at him curiously.

Su Ping chose to contract it as a summoning spirit beast, and new information appeared in the flow of information:

[Juvenile Xuan Turtle (Unnamed), quality: rare, current level: 1, combat power evaluation: 0]

"Combat power of zero, is that okay?"

"Looking at you, you're at least of rare quality. I'll call you Baxia!"

"I hope you won't be worse than that Chiwen. Otherwise, I won't care if you get bullied!"

After giving the juvenile Xuan Turtle a name, Su Ping put it in his sleeve and continued fishing.

After using up all the fishing points for this second-tier fishing spot, Su Ping stood up and headed to the port.

While bidding farewell to the elder from the Dongli family branch, Su Ping secretly whispered a few more words.

After that, without any reluctance, Su Ping flew away from Xuantu Island.

After watching the other party leave, the elder quickly returned to the villa and immediately summoned all the clan members on Xuantu Island.

Then the elder directly gave the answer:

"You should know that not long ago, a Foundation Building cultivator came to our island out of curiosity about our ancient ruins."

"He told me before he left."

"We have an evil cultivator among us!"

"I believe that a Foundation Building cultivator wouldn't be so bored as to deceive our Dongli clan!"

"So... everyone, activate the Evil-Expelling Demon-Suppressing Great Formation and recite the Evil-Expelling Spell!"

Upon hearing the elder's command, everyone was filled with determination!

Some people began to be grateful to the Foundation Building cultivator. If it weren't for him detecting the evil aura and warning them...

Otherwise, the remaining clan members would have become sacrifices for the evil cultivators!

After Su Ping sensed the evil aura and warned the Dongli family, he left Xuantu Island.

On the way, he dived into the sea and entered the pot's paradise to restore his mana. He also casually put the newly named Baxia into the large spiritual fish pond.

The juvenile Xuan Turtle was very happy to enter the spiritual fish pond, feeling as if it had returned home.

The large black fish, Chiwen, curiously approached this new companion but was splashed in the eye by a water arrow from the juvenile Xuan Turtle's mouth. It was scared and quickly moved away.

After a while, it seemed that the juvenile Xuan Turtle didn't have anything special, so it was about to retaliate.

Accompanied by its malicious intent, the juvenile Xuan Turtle suddenly trembled and retreated into its shell.

At the same time, it sent a distress signal to Su Ping, causing the large black fish, which felt its owner's divine consciousness coming from afar, to freeze in place!

The desire for revenge also vanished, and it made the decision not to fight the turtle.

In the pot's paradise, the juvenile Xuan Turtle began to slowly increase its experience, and Su Ping discovered that its growth could be slightly accelerated by feeding it.

Therefore, Su Ping placed hundreds of pounds of monster meat and various meats from the Water Blue Star nearby, allowing both the juvenile Xuan Turtle and the large black fish to choose freely.

The large black Chiwen suddenly realized that having this new companion was quite good, and it also benefited a lot.

Smooth sailing, Su Ping returned to Jinque City. After stabilizing the people's hearts with both of his identities revealed, he activated the teleportation talisman and returned to his hometown.

After reaching the Foundation Building stage, Su Ping felt that the influence of his hometown on him seemed to be less significant.

The operation of mana was no longer sluggish or mistaken.

The only regret was that he still couldn't restore his mana in his hometown. He could only drink potions or return to the pot's paradise!

However, with the help of the mana elixir, even in his hometown, Su Ping's endurance was greatly extended!

This undoubtedly increased Su Ping's sense of security.

I have something to do today, so the update may be a bit late tonight.
