Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman

Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Bestow the Name Chi Wen

Su Ping turned his attention to the Flowing Patterned Fake Dragon Fish and Green Spirit Fish in the Spirit Pond.

The Green Spirit Fish looked almost identical to the Big Bluefish, weighing about three to four pounds and as long as an adult’s arm.

Its scales, however, looked quite peculiar, with a faint spirit light continuously moving within them.

Just looking at it made Su Ping’s appetite surge, instinctively feeling that this fish was certainly top-notch fare!

Unfortunately, there was only one such fish at the moment, and the Spirit Pond hadn’t even reached its limit, so he couldn’t afford such a luxury yet.

The Flowing Patterned Fake Dragon Fish, in contrast, was much larger than the Green Spirit Fish, shaped like a python and nearly two meters long, with a reddish-gray hue all over its body.

Especially the fish’s head—it had begun to somewhat resemble the head of a dragon, and it even sprouted horns on both sides of its forehead.

One wouldn’t find it appetizing to look at, but could faintly sense the majesty of some ancient behemoth from the body of this Flowing Patterned Fake Dragon Fish.

This caused Su Ping’s Spiritual Pets to instinctively stay away from the Spirit Pond.

Even the ever-curious Black kitten hesitated for quite a while before turning its head and scurrying off to another side.

The Big Black Fish had just joyfully entered the Spirit Pond and hadn’t enjoyed a few seconds before the appearance of the Flowing Patterned Fake Dragon Fish forced it to the bottom of the pond, becoming a dead fish.

Su Ping glanced at the bottom of the pond, chuckled softly, and then took out a blood collection instrument from his storage bag.

Ignoring the Flowing Patterned Fake Dragon Fish’s protests, with a thought, he had the White Crane Child grasp and immobilize its body.

Su Ping paid close attention to the state of the Flowing Patterned Fake Dragon Fish while slowly inserting the needle to draw blood.

Su Ping understood the bigger picture, knowing the difference between sustainability and exhausting resources.

When about 20 milliliters of dark red fish blood were drawn,

Su Ping noticed the aura of the Flowing Patterned Fake Dragon Fish abruptly weaken.

Even its Dragon Might became almost imperceptible.

Su Ping’s lips twitched,

“Such a big fish, longer than most people, and it can only donate 20 milliliters before it almost gives out?”

“This fish has a weak constitution.”

Su Ping complained and then let the White Crane Child put the Flowing Patterned Fake Dragon Fish back into the Spirit Pond.

After reentering the Spirit Pond, the Flowing Patterned Fake Dragon Fish remained listless and did not move anymore, following the example of Big Black and choosing to sink to the bottom.

The moment the Flowing Patterned Fake Dragon Fish sank to the bottom, the Big Black Fish came to life again, thinking of moving away to a different location.

Puff!

With a grab into the void with its right hand, the White Crane Child fetched the Big Black Fish, already more than a meter long, out of the pool.

“Contract, established!”

Since Su Ping was ready to give this Big Black Fish an opportunity, he naturally wouldn’t miss the chance to bind it with a contract.

The Beast Taming Skill Spell took effect, and Su Ping’s mind formed a new link with the confused and fragile consciousness of the Big Black Fish.

After the contract was successful, Su Ping used pills and Purification Spirit Medicine to upgrade the Big Black Fish to a Transcendent Spirit Fish.

Later, after letting the Big Black Fish rest for a bit to get used to its drastically increased strength,

Su Ping injected the freshly acquired Fake Dragon Blood into the Big Black Fish.

Hum!

The Transcendent Big Black Fish felt its body brimming with power.

Its whiskers suddenly grew much longer like dragon whiskers, and its fish scales became even tougher and emitted a flickering black light.

In just a few minutes, the Big Black Fish actually gave the impression of a Dragon Species!

Simultaneously, a great wind appeared out of nowhere, swirling up water to envelop the Big Black Fish itself, allowing it to lie in the water of the Spirit Pond while breathing midair.

“Dragon Clan bloodline, control over wind and water…”

“It looks good, but the dragon bloodline is too dominant.”

“If I were to use it, I’m afraid it would reveal characteristics on the outside, and I might even exhibit the Dragon’s Mighty!”

“Besides, I already possess the Ten Directions Annihilation Body—there’s no need for me to take such a risk!”

“After all, I can use it to cultivate Dragon Blood Alien Species, which can equally enhance my strength!”

“Moreover, according to the records of the Immortal Sect, the flesh and blood of many sub-dragon species of fish and beasts are greatly nourishing for cultivators!”

“Especially for body cultivators, it’s said to be comparable in value to priceless Body Tempering Spirit Items!”

“When I have some free time, I could probably breed some dragon clan alien demon beasts for captivity and enjoy them slowly.”

“Thus, I can benefit from the Flowing Patterned Fake Dragon Fish without having to bear any potential risks!”

With this thought in mind, Su Ping looked at the Big Black Fish that had transformed into a sub-dragon species.

This caused Big Black to shiver all over, not daring to continue showing off, and with the release of White Crane Child’s hand, it plunged straight back into the Spirit Pond.

“Round it up and you’re also a dragon, so let’s call you Chi Wen. I hope you don’t tarnish the name!”

“Otherwise, when the time comes, I shall let you experience my method of ‘one fish, nine eats!’ Understand? Nine ways to eat! Nine!”

Chi Wen is the ninth son in the ancient myths of the dragon’s offspring, with a dragon’s head and a fish’s body, usually seen in sculptures on the roofs of the officials and nobles’ dwellings.

Su Ping named it with this moniker, reflecting an expectation that now seemed impractical.

He watched as the Big Black Fish Chi Wen understood his intentions and began to voluntarily absorb the surrounding spiritual energy in the Spirit Pond to gradually strengthen its own aura.

Su Ping nodded slightly and returned to meditate and rest inside Moonlight Listening Wind Pavilion.

At the same time, he also made a mental note to find a cultivation technique for taming demon beasts.

If he had the chance to stand on the shoulders of the great demon beast masters of the Immortal Cultivation World and continue to study and learn, it would undoubtedly be much faster than relying solely on instinctual breathing.

Three days later.

At Frost Moon Villa, Su Ping had just returned from Pot Cave Heaven when he learned from the maid Ping’er that an acquaintance was waiting for him in the guest room.

“Yun Jiu?”

Upon hearing the name, Su Ping remembered this junior brother, blessed with beast taming talent, and wondered if he was still able to withstand the training of the immortals.

Su Ping met Yun Jiu in the tea room.

At first glance, he almost didn’t recognize him.

It had only been a few months since their last meeting, and Yun Jiu had changed from a young man with a slightly unsteady gait into a withered figure resembling a dying old man, with faint traces of death lingering all over him.

“What happened to you? Your foundation is damaged, and your cultivation has declined. This can’t just be the result of indulgence!”

Su Ping asked with a frown, a flash of anger crossing his mind. Could it be that the female practitioners of Immortal Miao Building were also influenced by recent trends, not abiding by the rules even when paid?

“Thank you for your concern, senior brother, but this has nothing to do with Fairy Luo—it’s my own incompetence…”

Seemingly worried that Su Ping might suspect the wrong person, Yun Jiu hurriedly waved his hands to explain. He took a sip of the hot tea, trembling, then slowly recounted what had happened.

After leaving Cloud Mountain Workshop last time, Yun Jiu was eager to see Fairy Luo again, so he worked hard to craft Beast Taming Talismans.

Somehow, an Outer Sect Deacon found out about this.

The senior brother was very enthusiastic in offering materials, but he had one request: for Yun Jiu to craft a special Beast Taming Talisman.

Crafting this talisman with Yun Jiu’s cultivation would greatly deplete his Primordial Qi.

But Yun Jiu couldn’t wait because he had previously received a letter from Fairy Luo saying she would leave Cloud Mountain Workshop with the head of Immortal Miao Building next month.

So in his panic and haste, Yun Jiu agreed to the Outer Sect Deacon’s condition and crafted the unnamed Beast Taming Talisman.

He knew he couldn’t afford to buy Fairy Luo’s freedom—after all, he didn’t have an Immortal Boat or a cave mansion in the workshop.

But he wanted to give Fairy Luo a good Magic Artifact so she might have a slightly better life after their separation and perhaps remember him a little longer…
