Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"Immortal Master, this is the place! The locals call it Sanyuan Lake," Zhang Xuan said to Zhang Yuanjing, pointing to the wide river surface in front of them.

This place was about three hundred li away from Zhangjiawan, on the north side of Mount Meng. The Chixi River passed through the remaining veins of Mount Meng, and after exiting the mountain valleys, it was no longer bound, rushing wildly into a low-lying area, forming a vast lake with wide rivers and deep water, about ten li wide and forty li long, where countless red-finned fire-patterned fish were hidden.

"Yes, this place is as vast as a lake, and the river is very deep. How should we set up the trap?" Zhang Yuanjing stood on the boat with his hands behind his back, looking at the magnificent scenery of the mountains and rivers, feeling the vastness of the river and sky, and the long wind blowing horizontally, giving people a feeling of breaking free from restraint and being free. A sudden realization rose in his heart: This is the essence of heaven and earth, which can be used for me to achieve the Tao!

After the affairs of Misty Spirit Mountain were over, Zhang Yuanjing finally returned to Zhangjiawan alone. The golden-backed giant ape in the Qi Activation Realm Great Perfection entered a breakthrough state after taking the Yishen Pill. The golden-backed giant ape was an ancient异种, and each advancement was very difficult. Even if it was only breaking through from Great Perfection to Pseudo-Dan, this process usually took three to five years. Ape Thirteen was not at ease and requested to stay and protect him.

Zhang Yuanjing thought that he would only be fishing and practicing in seclusion when he went back, and he would not travel around. There was no difference between letting Ape Thirteen stay in Mount Meng and Misty Spirit Mountain, so he agreed and agreed to come to the mountain to find it in five years.

"Reporting to Immortal Master, I have sent experts from the village to dive into the water. After repeated investigations, I found a ditch one zhang wide and more than ten zhang long and five zhang deep near the south bank. Therefore, I asked the weavers in the town to make a fire cotton net three zhang wide and twelve zhang long overnight. At that time, one end of the net can be placed on one side of the deep ditch, and a wooden stake can be fixed every foot, with the wooden stake driven into the mud."

Zhang Xuan spoke eloquently with a confident and high-spirited posture.

"Then, ten experts with profound internal strength will grab the other end of the net, lurking on this side of the deep ditch, covering their bodies and the fire cotton net with river bottom silt. At the same time, two people will be ambushed at both ends of the deep ditch. In this way, once the big fish enters the ditch, they will pull the fire cotton net over to cover the upper part of the deep ditch. At the same time, the others waiting on the boat will immediately enter the water to suppress the net. In this way, the fish in the ditch can be trapped."

Zhang Yuanjing had been away for more than half a year. Thanks to ten years of managing the family, Zhang Xuan's foundation was stable and her reputation was well-known. The Zhang family's situation was calm. However, Zhang Xuan, as the person in charge, was the most anxious. She was worried that her two younger siblings, Zhang Jun and Zhang Yu, would not be taught and would cut off their path to immortality. She was even more afraid of losing Zhang Yuanjing, the "Immortal Master" who gave her security and reliance.

When Zhang Yuanjing returned safely, she felt relieved and immediately sent people to explore suitable waters according to his instructions. After two months of searching, they finally selected this section of the river.

"Well, this method is good. Why don't you dig a smaller ditch yourself? It should be easier to seal it off," Zhang Yuanjing nodded first, and then asked.

"According to the clan members, the Tongyun Palace used to dig large pits to catch red-finned fire-patterned fish, but the effect was not good, especially rarely catching large fish over four or five feet long. It is said that this is because the newly dug holes have heavy artificial traces. The big fish are quite smart and rarely get fooled. In comparison, it is better to use naturally formed ditches and holes."

"I see, that makes sense. Then let's try it once!" Zhang Yuanjing just asked casually and didn't care about it. He immediately ordered to start work.

Zhang Xuan responded and said to Zhang Cheng behind her: "Brother, go into the water to set it up. Be careful and don't make the wounds too big. Don't waste the blood of the blue-faced sable."

Zhang Cheng nodded and dragged out a large frame from the cabin. In the frame was a blue-faced sable with its mouth tied with an air bag and restricted.

The blue-faced sables captured by Zhang Yuanjing were all savage blood stage demon beasts, which were difficult for mortals to control. Therefore, he had used mana to inject restrictions into their bodies in advance, and at the same time made some simple demon-binding ropes to tie their legs and feet.

As for the air bag that bound their mouths, it was modeled after the method of the Tongyun Palace. While binding their mouths to prevent them from releasing poisonous gas, it also provided some air so that they could survive in the water for a while.

For more than ten years, with the assistance of sufficient Yanqi pulp, Zhang Cheng had become Zhang's leading martial arts expert, and had made a great name for himself in the Chixi Kingdom.

He gathered his energy in his dantian, exerted force in his waist and arms, picked up the blue-faced sable, jumped into the water, slowly dragged the beast to the bottom of the pit, locked it on a large stake that had sunk into the mud at the bottom of the pit, and then drew out the water thorns he carried with him and made several wounds on its legs and abdomen, causing it to ooze traces of blood.

There was only a small amount of air in the air bag that bound the blue-faced sable's mouth, which could allow the blue-faced sable to last for about a quarter of an hour. When the air was exhausted, the blue-faced sable would breathe rapidly, and then twitch and struggle. At that time, these wounds would ooze a lot of blood, emitting a strange fishy smell, attracting the nearby red-finned fire-patterned fish.

After Zhang Cheng came out of the water, Zhang Xuan waved his hand, and twelve strong men jumped into the water, quickly dived to the bottom of the water, covered their bodies with silt, and lay in ambush in the silt on one side of the deep pit in order. These people had profound internal strength and long breath, and could hold their breath in the water for more than two quarters of an hour, enough to last until the big fish entered the trap. At the same time, with the cover of the bloody smell of the blue-faced sable, the red-finned fire-patterned fish could not smell the aura on them.

Zhang Yuanjing was a cultivator, so he had to avoid it from afar and wait on the river bank a mile away.

After half a quarter of an hour, the air in the air bag was exhausted, and the blue-faced sable began to struggle desperately. The wounds became larger and larger, and the blood seeped faster and faster. Before long, it was covered with several zhang of water around it. The fishy smell of blood spread far away with the water waves.

The nearby one-foot-long red-finned fire-patterned fish were quickly attracted. They surrounded the blue-faced sable and swallowed the blood greedily. After the blue-faced sable suffocated and died and stopped twitching, the fish swarmed up and frantically gnawed on its flesh and blood. A large amount of blood scattered into the water, and the fishy smell became more intense.

In an instant, red shadows flashed in the river, and hundreds of red-finned fire-patterned fish swam rapidly from all directions, gathering in the deep ditch. Among them, there were more than ten large fish over three feet long, and three of them even reached more than four feet long.

These big fish exuded a strong demonic aura and had already opened their meridians as savage blood stage demon beasts. Relying on their strong bodies and great strength, they were faster, shuttling through the many small fish, directly killing the side of the blue-faced sable, opening their mouths full of sharp teeth, and tearing its flesh and blood vigorously. At the same time, they fanned their fan-like tails, sweeping away the small fish that were competing with them for food, and even squeezed and fought each other from time to time.

The twelve martial arts experts ambushing on the side judged that there were many big fish entering the pit by distinguishing the movement in the water. One person ordered to pull the big net together, quickly crossing the zhang-wide deep ditch and sealing the exit of the deep ditch. At the same time, they released a green gourd.

After a while, Zhang Xuan saw the green gourd floating on the bottom of the river, and immediately jumped up from the boat and plunged into the water. At the same time, Zhang Cheng, Zhang Wei, and Zhang Jun, the three brothers, and more than twenty young men also jumped into the water.

Zhang Yuanjing flashed to the shore, protected his body with mana, fell into the water like a large stone, and sank quickly. Catching big fish was not something these mortals could do. He had to do it himself.

As soon as he dived three or four zhang, he saw hundreds of large and small red-finned fire-patterned fish fleeing in all directions. Zhang Xuan led dozens of men to tighten the net from three directions, and several martial arts experts were fighting a four-foot-long big fish with long thorns through the net.

Under the net, in the deep pit, dozens of red-finned fire-patterned fish were frantically hitting and tearing the fish net. Several small holes had been broken, and some small fish were constantly escaping from them.

Zhang Yuanjing quickly circulated his mana, his hands and feet danced lightly, and shot towards the four-foot big fish like a flying arrow. This fish had already smelled Zhang Yuanjing's aura and knew that danger was approaching, so it relied on its tough fish skin to withstand the attacks of several martial arts experts, and more violently tore a hole. Its wide and powerful fish tail swung wildly, and it forcibly bit a big hole in the strong fire cotton net, and was about to drill out and escape.

Several Zhang family experts tried their best to stop it, and the long thorns stabbed fiercely at its eyes, cheeks, and mouth. Although this fish had the strength of the savage blood mid-stage, it did not dare to let these sharp weapons hurt its vitals, and for a while it could not escape.

It became manic, suddenly opened its mouth, and let out a stern roar from the water, shaking everyone's head and slowing down their offensive. Then it took the opportunity to rush out of the gap, swung its big tail, and was about to escape.

Zhang Yuanjing had already arrived, and with a wave of the Spirit Restraining Hoe, he restrained it. The big fish struggled with the force of the water, tripping Zhang Yuanjing, but the Spirit Restraining Hoe still firmly controlled it, and it could not escape. Zhang Yuanjing pointed a magic trick in his hand and easily put the fish into the spirit beast bag.

At this time, other red-finned fire-patterned fish took advantage of the big hole bitten by the big fish and fled outwards. Zhang Yuanjing guarded the entrance of the hole, waved his hoe to restrain the fish, and caught another big fish more than three feet long and twelve fish less than two feet long. He did not intend to use the fish under two feet for cultivation, but to store them up for refining Tongyun Pills in the future.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the fishing ended, and the harvest was quite rich, Zhang Yuanjing was very satisfied. He kindly encouraged everyone in the fishing team, instructed Zhang Xuan to reward them according to their respective situations, and then flew away on his flying sword and returned directly to the cave.

The four-foot big fish caught this time was slightly smaller than the one he had occasionally obtained last time, but it had also grown for more than three hundred and fifty years. After eating it, the progress of cultivation was naturally extremely fast. In less than ten days, the fish was eaten up. Then, he spent five days refining the three-foot-long red-finned fire-patterned fish.

This half-month of cultivation was equivalent to half a year of his usual efforts, and the progress could be said to be extremely fast. Zhang Yuanjing was not in a hurry to fish again, but took out the alchemy books and studied them.

On the one hand, it was naturally to prepare for refining the Bailing Pill, otherwise he would not be able to complete the transaction with Han Ji. On the other hand, it was also to consciously control the rhythm of cultivation, to prevent the rapid increase in cultivation for a long time, leading to floating thoughts and unstable foundations.

Five days later, he informed Zhang Xuan to go fishing in the river again. This time, his harvest was slightly worse, only catching two three-foot fish, but there were six fish over two feet and less than three feet. He spent ten days refining the two three-foot fish, still studying alchemy notes for five days, before continuing to go fishing in the river.

In this way, more than a year passed, and all twenty blue-faced sables were used up. A total of one five-foot fish, nine four-foot fish, fifteen three-foot fish, forty-nine fish over two feet but less than three feet, and more than three hundred fish less than two feet were caught. All fish over three feet were used to cultivate the Thick Earth Transformation Technique, and the cultivation progressed rapidly, far surpassing the past.
