This is because he can replenish the water spirit energy by swallowing aquatic creatures. If an ordinary person can only digest and absorb 20% to 30% of what they eat, he can absorb 70% to 80%, which directly increases his cultivation level. It is comparable to a panacea, and his actual cultivation speed is very fast.
Just during the time it took to eat a meal, he broke through to the seventh level of Qi training. Compared with others, it was really easy.
……
The highlight finally came, and everyone was excited again. They all said they wanted to taste the taste of the fish meat that was about to form a pill.
Ye Hong ate half a bowl of rice with the grilled fish. After it went down his stomach, the big bluefish shook its head and tail, and swam with its two fins. The "true Qi" in his body increased again, and he actually broke through the eighth level of Qi refining easily. This speed was much faster than collecting spiritual energy from heaven and earth day and night.
Wei Xun suddenly asked, "Junior Brother Ye, it seems like you just had a breakthrough?"
"Congratulations! You can achieve a breakthrough just by eating a meal."
The three of them were happy for him and toasted.
Although I was a little surprised, after all, I was just practicing Qi, and success would come naturally.
For example, the chef who cooked for them today has been stuck at the tenth level of Qi training for who knows how many years, and has never been able to build a foundation. He may be stuck here for the rest of his life.
The meal lasted from noon to about 15:30 in the afternoon, and everyone was finally satisfied.
Wei Xun was the first to stand up and say goodbye. "I should have given Junior Brother Ye some gifts, but unfortunately I'm really short of money recently and don't have any magic weapons to show off. So just accept these immortal stones."
Interpersonal relationships are indispensable.
Ye Hong did not refuse. After accepting it, he said, "Brother, you are so polite." Suddenly, he remembered something. "Brother Wei, I have a friend named Shen Bai. He should be in the outer sect of your sect now. If it is convenient, can you help me ask about his current situation?"
"a piece of cake."
Wei Xun agreed readily and then turned and left.
After that, Chen Yangeng was about to lead Ye Hong to get the remaining ingredients. Ye Hong asked curiously, "Anything else left?"
Chen Yangeng smiled and said, "A cook doesn't steal unless the crops don't come in. Normally it's fine, but he doesn't deserve to take it this time."
Sure enough, two pieces of excellent fish belly were found.
The chef hesitated and moved his lips, but in the end he said nothing.
Perhaps he had never given up the idea of building a foundation.
Chen Yangeng's smile turned cold, and he said disdainfully: "Who are you?"
What happened next opened Ye Hong's eyes again. Not only did he not spend any money on the meal, but he actually made a profit. The boatman both made amends and apologized, fearing that Chen Yangeng would be dissatisfied.
Haha, power is a good thing.
Chen Yangeng took the compensation and handed it to Ye Hong casually, saying, "This is a free gift from the store. I'll give it to you. See you next time."
After getting off the boat, Ye Hong fell into deep thought holding the purse in his hand, and Murong Yun appeared behind him.
"Junior brother, how was the meal?"
He turned around and said, "Brother, it turns out there are hundreds of kinds of immortals in this world."
Murong Yun replied: "It's just the human world."
Chapter 33 Water is Impermanent
After returning, Ye Hong counted carefully and found that in just a few days, the number of low-grade immortal qi stones on him had reached an astonishing 132.
He picked up one and held it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully. He felt that it was no different from a naturally formed spiritual stone, just like artificially synthesized jade and natural jade, which could not be seen with the naked eye.
In daily transactions, natural spirit stones are inconvenient to use due to the serious inconsistency in shape, size and the amount of spiritual energy they contain. This is why immortal spirit stones with uniform specifications came into being.
Even the lowest level of Immortal Qi Stone requires the cultivation level of Dan to be refined. The output in a month varies from person to person, so the purchasing power is not low.
If you go to the most luxurious restaurant in Zhenze Ancient Town, book a room in a superior room, and enjoy a table of good wine and delicious food, the room rate will only be five Xianqi stones per day.
An ordinary cultivator only needs one or two low-grade immortal qi stones to eat the fasting pills for a month.
Ye Hong thought about it carefully and felt that the fish was too valuable. The selling price of a whole fish was estimated to be as high as several hundred Immortal Qi Stones.
To put it in an inappropriate way, I have 132k RMB on hand, which is about 13 yuan.
This money is certainly more than enough for living, but if you want to buy magic weapons, it will be a bit tight. Even the most basic magic weapons cannot be purchased without hundreds of immortal stones.
It is true that with money you can travel the world, but without money you can't go anywhere.
Ye Hong sighed softly and said to himself, "Why do I feel like saving money to buy a house again? Otherwise, I should buy a car first."
"Buying a car" naturally means purchasing a flying sword.
Generally speaking, sword-wielding skills require a certain amount of spiritual energy reserves before they can be practiced. It is most appropriate to reach the foundation-building stage, but it is not impossible to try practicing the ninth or tenth level of spiritual energy.
Ye Hong thought silently that this matter was not urgent, but it had to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
……
Before the sun set, he persisted in reading "Water Classic" for a while and practiced magic. Suddenly, he had an inspiration and took out the "Ancient Secret Methods of Cultivating Immortality" given by Chen Yangeng to read it.
He studied with a critical eye.
"This thing can't be moved at all."
Ye Hong, who was used to seeing charming welfare girls, had no interest in the pictures sketched by the ancients.
"Teacher Liu is still the best."
Although he was saying cheesy words and his lips were slightly raised, his eyes were clear and calm. He could be said to be a typical person whose brain and lower body work together well.
In fact, he didn't have much hope in his heart. To be frank, even if he was confident that he could surpass Teacher Liu in the distant future, even if he conquered her and won her over one day, it would be difficult for him to win her heart.
Besides, someone as proud as her, who would want to kill someone if he hugged her, would definitely not be able to accept the result of losing her virginity to him. She might even choose to die in glory rather than live in disgrace.
So what's the point?
After all, it was just his wishful thinking.
Ye Hong gently supported his cheek and continued to flip through the book.
When he saw one of the sections, he was suddenly stunned.
Because it records a magic spell called "Love Potion", which is said to be very powerful after being refined, and can bewitch the other party, causing them to lose their mind and obey the master's words.
However, the materials used in the decoction are extremely scarce, and some of them have disappeared, and it is difficult to buy them even if you have money, so it is just a story.
The book also records the origin of this method. The story goes like this: In ancient times, there was a great monk who was also a bootlicker. He pursued his goddess desperately but failed. Later, the goddess married someone else. He turned his love into hate and created this method.
Ye Hong didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.
I couldn't help but wonder, is this what is meant by love and admiration?
In order to get the person they love, they may even distort the other person's free will and turn the other person into a plaything that they can control at will.
This is ridiculous.
Disgusting. Very fucking disgusting.
Of course, this evil cultivator did not have a good ending. After being disillusioned, he died in depression.
In the end, only a lot of bad deeds are left to warn future generations.
Ye Hong couldn't help but fall into deep thought, motionless for a long time.
His attention was not only on this melodramatic story that destroyed his worldview, but he was also inspired on a spiritual level. He instantly broke out of his fixed way of thinking, or in other words, his train of thought suddenly opened up.
This bullshit love potion is also a water method, is this how you play it?
Does Meng Po soup count?
The human body is made up of 70% water, so the magic skill that specifically sucks human blood can also be considered a kind of water magic, right?
Also, the same method is used to increase the number of words.
He murmured, "The highest virtue is like water, which can bend in all directions. Why should we be bound by a single rule?"
You know, many of the monks' famous killing moves were conceived through brainstorming and rich imagination.
Although Ye Hong has not come up with any special killer moves due to his lack of practical experience, the idea that "water has no fixed shape" seems to have planted a seed in his heart.
If you believe in books blindly, it is better to have no books; if you learn other people’s methods blindly, it is better to have no methods.
Afterwards, he exhaled slowly and let out a breath. He did not have the slightest desire to try to collect materials to make the love potion. Instead, he chose to turn the page without hesitation.
I would never do anything to commit adultery.
……
Tonight's dinner will be the two pieces of fish belly that were collected.
Ye Hong washed the fish belly, wiped off the moisture, cut it into small even pieces and put it on a plate. He then ate it raw with soy sauce and aged vinegar. It tasted particularly delicious.
Halfway through the meal, I heard a familiar voice. Then, a very beautiful woman walked in from outside, her slender body wrapped in a goose yellow long skirt. It turned out to be the chief of Hua Sect, Liu Ruochen.
Ye Hong was slightly surprised. He put down his chopsticks, stood up, closed his book, and came out to greet her. "Chief Senior Sister, why are you here?"
Liu Ruochen said coquettishly, "We have known each other for a while, so why can't I come and see you on my way?"
He looked around at the simply furnished magic treasure house he rented and said with a smile, "What delicious food are you eating? Why don't you invite me to sit down?"
Ye Hong was a little bit uncomfortable with this sudden closeness. As the saying goes, if someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. There is usually a conspiracy behind this.
He thought to himself, could it be that Senior Sister Liu saw that I was generous and therefore listed me as a candidate for raising fish?
He quickly said politely, "Please sit down, please sit down."
Unexpectedly, Liu Ruochen was able to control himself with ease, and his sense of distance was perfectly grasped.
"Just kidding, I won't sit down."
Then, she said seriously, "Today I received a message from the head of the sect, and was ordered to come here to investigate the earthquake..."
As he spoke, he cast an inquiring and scrutinizing look at him.
Ye Hong suddenly felt a little embarrassed. After all, this matter was entirely caused by his "reckless behavior". He did not expect that it would alarm the upper sect.
Chapter 34 The Night is Too Beautiful
After all, the matter involved Qingyi, so how could Ye Hong dare to make the decision alone? He had to ask her opinion first, so he said to Liu Ruochen: "It is getting dark today, please go back and rest for a night, and I will give you an answer tomorrow morning."
She was slightly stunned, with an ambiguous look on her face. She frowned, but finally agreed and curled her red lips: "Okay, junior brother, then I'll wait for you this time." After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the room slowly with understanding.
Out of politeness, Ye Hong followed for a dozen steps and saw Liu Ruochen off. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. His mood was indescribable.
