Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman

Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Pot Cave Heaven, Yunlai Immortal Realm

Su Ping didn’t know that with just a casual cast of his line, he had acquired the elegant moniker of a Fishing Immortal.

He was simply in the habit of not fishing in vain and had, by physical means, casually caught a large fish.

The half-meter long Black Fish seemed quite large, but was still within the range that fishermen could accept.

Moreover, when other fishermen heard about it, they would silently divide the reported weight of the catch by ten, taking that as the other person’s actual harvest.

However, after Su Ping caught the Big Black Fish, he noticed that this overlord of the reservoir seemed a bit sentient.

Although it didn’t have much sentience, it was still quite a rare sight among fish.

But Su Ping did not form a contract with the Big Black Fish. Instead, he left a mana imprint on it, placed a Qi Blood Pill into its mouth, and then released it back into the reservoir.

Su Ping wanted to see whether, in the following period of free-range growing, the Big Black Fish could reach its physical limits by relying on this good fortune.

If it could grow into a one-and-a-half-meter or even two-meter-long Black Fish that made the news!

If it succeeded, that would be wonderful; if it failed, Su Ping would still gather more data for future improvement—it was a win-win situation!

Su Ping left the reservoir.

The live streaming team of Fishing Brother were still being bombarded with a barrage of comments, and the topic had completely shifted to the Fishing Immortal.

The Big Black Fish, having narrowly escaped death, began to shake violently in the depths of the reservoir and started rolling around.

As it gradually swelled up in size, its eyes turned slightly red.

In other deep parts of the reservoir, several large fish of significant size seemed to sense something and swam over, actually surrounding the Big Black Fish.

After tens of seconds of deadlock, with the Big Black Fish accelerating its pace, it suddenly pounced on a Big Grass Carp!

Boom!

The depths of the reservoir immediately descended into chaos, fish scales scattered, currents of fish blood emerged, and the surface of the water slowly turned a light shade of red.

This caused Fishing Brother’s team to quickly direct their live broadcast cameras at the surface of the water, with exclamations of disbelief pouring out.

The diver, undeterred by the risk of ruining the shot, ahem… which had actually already happened, a secret that the old fans knew about, clambered onto the shore.

The diver removed his respirator and let out a string of crude language, which was automatically beeped out by the microphone.

“Terrifying, it’s just terrifying!”

“I don’t know whether the fish in this reservoir have gone mad, a group of them are fighting in the deep! The fish blood is spilling out like nobody’s business!”

The diver was scared out of his wits. The abnormal scene underwater had suddenly reminded him of the horror story audiobook he had used as a lullaby the night before.

“How about we end today’s show here?”

“Let’s back off a bit and then report it?”

The head of logistics nervously pushed up his broad-framed black glasses and cautiously looked towards Fishing Brother.

Fishing Brother nodded in agreement. Those who were often into outdoor broadcasting and had lasted long in the industry always paid great attention to safety.

He believed, at least a little, in things of a spectral nature.

“Safety first, let’s retreat for now… wait, let’s leave the camera behind, but don’t turn off the live stream.”

“If we can catch explosive footage, we’ll take off!”

Fishing Brother thought further ahead and came up with a best-of-both-worlds solution, immediately gaining the support of everyone and springing them into action.

Unfortunately, the commotion deep within the reservoir ended shortly.

After reaffirming its dominance among the school of big fish, retaining the Qi Blood Pill within its body, the Big Black Fish wagged its tail and retreated into a dark cave in the reservoir to hide.

So by the time the official experts arrived, other than knowing that a group of big fish had gone mad and attacked each other, there were no further abnormalities to be found.

They had no choice but to collect samples, adjust the level of monitoring for the area, and withdraw.

……

Su Ping returned to the Frost Moon Villa of the Immortal Cultivation World and turned his attention to the fishing mall he was most looking forward to:

[Cave Heaven Pot (Unique): Upon use, enter an exclusive Pot Cave Heaven. Cooldown: 30 seconds. Exchange requirements: 100 Little Green Fish, 10 Big Bluefish, 1 Green Spirit Fish]

[Warehouse: Little Green Fish 180, Big Bluefish 70, Green Spirit Fish 1]

[Current Fishing Level: 3 (200/1000)]

“Very good, I’ve met all the conditions to exchange for the Cave Heaven Pot.”

“The reservoir has also given me an extra 60 points of experience, as well as 20 Big Bluefish, and 40 Little Green Fish.”

“Come out! My Cave Heaven Pot!”

Su Ping excitedly stood in his bedroom, wielded his arms as if he were commanding an army, and shouted the command.

The next instant, a green light flashed through the room.

A bronze pot shaped like a gourd, about twenty centimeters tall, appeared in front of Su Ping.

It floated in mid-air, emanating a faint sense of majesty.

Spiritual Rat White and Grey seemed to sense this majesty and lay on Su Ping’s shoulder, not daring to move.

The puppy that was fighting with little Black cat under the bed also froze on the spot.

The three Wen Birds huddled together, looking pitifully at Su Ping’s back.

“It’s good for a Divine Artifact to have majesty, but unfortunately, I don’t need to be so flashy right now,”

Su Ping thought to himself, and the aura of the Cave Heaven Pot dissipated in an instant,

as if it became an ordinary bronze kettle, except for the fact that it could still unfathomably float in the air.

“Cave Heaven within the pot, open!”

Making the Cave Heaven Pot subdue its aura, Su Ping kept a low profile.

He couldn’t wait to use the most important function of the Cave Heaven Pot.

Suddenly, both Su Ping and the bronze pot disappeared from the bedroom without a trace.

Little White and Grey were left with confused faces. Where did their master go? The master who was just there a moment ago?

How could he have vanished!

Su Ping, on the other hand, appeared in a space shrouded in fog.

In front of him, a selection of Cave Heaven secret realms materialized.

“Peach Blossom Secret Realm, Penglai Immortal Island, Underwater Dragon Palace… Yunlai Immortal Realm?”

“Let me see, I am a Cultivator; I might as well choose the Yunlai Immortal Realm as the first Cave Heaven layout,”

As Su Ping selected his Cave Heaven,

the mist dispersed with a swoosh.

Brilliant sunlight appeared overhead.

Mountain scenery, a Cloud Sea, and floating peaks amid the mist surrounded Su Ping.

The ground beneath Su Ping’s feet had also turned into the top of Flying Peak, covering an area of about tens of thousands of square meters.

Ao! A Phoenix Cry came with the gentle, refreshing breeze.

Su Ping turned his head to look and saw immortal cranes and Green Birds flying between distant peaks.

Waterfalls cascaded ceaselessly down from the tops of the mountains.

Semi-transparent bridges of light periodically appeared between the mountaintops.

“This is where a Cultivator should be!”

“It’s even more spectacular and picturesque than the Immortal Sect headquarters I saw in the Jade Scroll!”

“Too bad, apart from this mountain peak under my feet, everything else is just an Illusion Realm!”

“Fortunately, the Cave Heaven within the pot can also be upgraded and developed through my efforts; one day, it will become a truly unparalleled Immortal Realm!”

Su Ping had his fill of the beautiful scenery before he withdrew his attention to study the various settings of the Cave Heaven Pot.

The Illusion Realm inside the Cave Heaven could be micro-adjusted according to Su Ping’s will. Substituting appearances, like creating daytime out of nighttime, was a normal operation, and even having a Green Bird perform a dance ten thousand meters away was no problem.

But besides the intrinsic scenic objects on the mountaintop, everything else depended on the Cave Heaven’s special card pack for access.

And then there’s the crucial Spiritual Energy of the Cave Heaven,

which relied on setting up special buildings that generate Spiritual Energy or cultivating Spirit Fish.

Ten consecutive draws!

To properly utilize the Cave Heaven within the pot, one must go for ten consecutive draws!
