Starting From A Fisherman To Cultivate Immortality And Live Forever

Chapter 44: The Profound Unchanging Fate

In the bedroom of the Moonlit Wind Pavilion, a miniature paradise within a pot, Su Ping lay comfortably in a hot spring pool made of white jade.

Feeling the fatigue of a night's work being enveloped by the hot spring water, a refreshing sensation filled him, nourishing and warming his tired cells.

In just a few minutes, Su Ping felt all his fatigue dissipate. He reluctantly got up and changed into fresh clothes.

Su Ping closed his eyes and felt the smooth flow of his mana throughout his body, with no obstructions in his meridians.

He had almost reached the upper limit of the fifth level of Qi Refining.

"With this progress, I'm afraid I can attempt Foundation Building in less than a year!"

"However, if others were to know about this progress, they would immediately become jealous!"

"I must be on guard!"

"After all, I spent twenty years cultivating diligently, being stuck at the third level of Qi Refining. It was only after entering the mortal world and accumulating enough that I was able to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining. That's still acceptable."

"But if I can enter the late-stage of Qi Refining, or even complete it and start Foundation Building, just by cultivating diligently for a year in the mortal world..."

"It would be really hard to find a reason to make other cultivators believe that I didn't cheat, that all of this was achieved through my own diligent cultivation!"

Su Ping silently kept these hidden dangers in mind, preparing to find an opportunity to resolve them.

If he really couldn't resolve them, he would have to make a tough decision and disguise himself as a hermit in another immortal sect's territory before others caught on.

But unless it was absolutely necessary, Su Ping was unwilling to do so. He couldn't bear to leave this fishing spot in the Lin Yue Lake.

"It's about time for the fishing spot to refresh."

Su Ping left the miniature paradise and returned to the Lin Yue Manor to start fishing.

The people around were already used to this.

In fact, Su Ping's hobby of fishing had aroused curiosity among some cultivators, who intentionally leaked the information and let some scattered cultivators secretly imitate him.

The Lin Yue Lake had become private property and didn't accept outsiders, but it couldn't stop those cultivators.

There were even some bold cultivators who took the opportunity when Su Ping was away to come to the fishing spot and imitate his rhythm and movements exactly.

They even used the same fishing gear.

The result was obvious. Except for the last one who learned from Su Ping and used physical methods to catch a big fish, they gained nothing.

Over time, people from all sides tended to think that this was just a hobby, not some mysterious ritual or anything strange about the Lin Yue Lake.

Su Ping had long known about this through the rat swarm and knew the key points, so he pretended not to see it.

Su Ping spent a day traveling between the Water Blue Star and the cultivation world, using up all the fishing opportunities.

This time, the number of fishing opportunities returned to normal, with only 50 each.

Fortunately, the output of the big blue fish was steadily increasing.

Out of a total of 100 times, 40 big blue fish were caught!

Su Ping looked at the information:

[Current fishing level: Level 3 (300/1000)]

[Warehouse: 140 small blue fish, 80 big blue fish]

"Well... let's do a ten consecutive draw, just once!"

Su Ping exchanged 20 big blue fish for 100 fishing coins, and then exchanged them for a ten consecutive draw.

Whoosh!

Nine times of ordinary white light flashed, and Su Ping saw purple light.

[Burial Ground, special building, quality: rare, exclusive to the miniature paradise, can slightly increase the production of spiritual energy in the miniature paradise]

"So it can only be a guaranteed drop?"

"It seems that the first draw last time was probably the guaranteed drop from the miniature paradise card pack, right?"

Su Ping silently complained about his luck and noticed that this purple card could increase the upper limit. He quickly prepared to set it up.

Immediately, Su Ping discovered that this burial ground was a small hill covered with locust trees, with a few tombstones scattered here and there.

The art style and the clouds don't really match the fairyland.

But what Su Ping needs now is a high concentration of spiritual energy, the upgrading experience of the Pot in the Cave, and he doesn't care about aesthetics.

Successfully arranged!

A mountain covered in faint mist and deep gloom appeared next to the Moon Listening Pavilion.

After the mountain took shape, blue ghost fires emerged one by one, with some of them emitting eerie laughter, trying to escape.

Suddenly!

Roar!

The stone lion for punishing evil and repelling demons let out a low roar towards the mountain.

Immediately, all the ghost fires shrank by one circle and quickly retreated back into the mountain.

"The concentration of spiritual energy has reached 30. Now the spiritual energy in my Pot in the Cave can rival the core area of a first-grade superior spiritual vein."

"To permanently reside in the caves in those core areas, you need at least three to four spiritual stones per month."

"And, the effect of this burial ground has given me a little surprise."

[Burial Ground: Accumulates energy when burying corpses. Every twenty points of energy can summon an obedient ghost. Maximum number of ghosts: 5.]

"Burying corpses? There are no specific criteria. Using animal corpses should work too."

As soon as Su Ping thought of this, he immediately tried it out and brought two fat pig corpses, throwing them into the burial ground.

After seeing no reaction, Su Ping had a thought.

Suddenly, the White Crane Boy flew above the burial ground, first releasing a fireball spell to create a large pit.

Then, he quickly landed and held two fat pigs in his hands, throwing them into the pit before activating the Earthquake Spell to bury them.

Sure enough, burying corpses meant burying corpses.

As the fat pigs were submerged in the soil, the burial ground showed that it entered a satiated state and began to digest and accumulate energy.

"The digestion ability is not good. It's already satiated, and it takes an hour to accumulate one point of energy?"

Su Ping shook his head slightly and looked at the remaining number of large blue fish: 60.

Su Ping hesitated for a moment, thinking that the worst-case scenario seemed to yield useful things as well, so he gritted his teeth and did another ten consecutive draws.

As the large blue fish turned into 40, the light of the ten consecutive draws appeared in Su Ping's mind.

It was still the familiar nine common and one rare.

However, this time Su Ping discovered that even the guaranteed rare item could be something useless!

[Dawn Castle, main building, quality: rare, exclusive to the Pot in the Cave, arranging it can slightly increase the spiritual energy output of the Cave.]

It seems that it can also increase the concentration of spiritual energy.

However, the problem is... this is the main building, and at the current level, only one main building can be effective!

Moreover, judging from the quality, this Dawn Castle is not as good as the Moon Listening Pavilion currently in use!

"Changing the non-changeable, spending money won't change fate. I really shouldn't have drawn forcefully."

Not even one usable item from the ten consecutive draws made Su Ping much calmer.

Su Ping left the Pot in the Cave, and the first command after coming out was to let the Spirit Mouse, Little White, and Little Grey control a group of rats to investigate the surroundings of Jiuye Mountain.

Although Su Ping still believed that the Yun family wouldn't do anything suspicious, the more information he could control, the more at ease Su Ping would be.

As time passed and it became evening, the Yun family's auction was also approaching.

Su Ping put on a mask, changed into a brand new robe, and wore several storage bags categorized and worn on his body.

With the Pot in the Cave, Su Ping actually needed fewer storage bags.

But when interacting with outsiders, it was still necessary to bring them.
