Chapter 854: Veteran Fisherman
Zhong Shentong, with his seven-colored divine light, was invincible in his realm. He could even kill Senior Brother Zhang of the same realm.
The "Mysterious Art of Life and Death" he practiced was also an extremely mysterious art. When practiced to the deepest level, it was said that one could reach a wonderful state where life and death coexisted, achieving a different kind of immortality.
Practicing this method can awaken and infinitely amplify the cultivator's instinctive fear of life and death.
A cultivator like Zhong Shentong, who is naturally bad at heart, becomes like a completely different person in the face of the threat of death, with his initiative fully maximized.
"According to the original historical trajectory, Zhong Shentong will not break through until his time is up."
"But now the foundation has been established ahead of time..."
"what happened?"
The most serious period of the mutated immortal and mortal miasma has passed, and it can be confirmed that Zhong Shentong was not forced to break through for this reason.
Li Fan immediately became interested.
However, since the original body is still in the process of devouring the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven, he cannot get away.
This time, the observation of Zhong Shentong will be carried out by his clone Ji Shaoli.
"He has just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage and has not yet had time to comprehend the Seven-Colored Divine Light. I am at the Golden Core Stage and can control him..."
"It shouldn't be a big problem." Ji Shaoli thought to himself.
However, to be on the safe side, the clone still made sufficient preparations.
During the stage from foundation building to Nascent Soul, as long as one has enough contribution points to equip oneself, it is enough to ignore the difference in cultivation and crush the opponent.
Not to mention that his current realm was one level higher than the other party's. So Ji Shaoli was not overly worried.
According to the intelligence, Ji Shaoli came to a desolate hill in the northwest border of Yongyun Prefecture through the teleportation array.
There is a slightly dilapidated small temple on the mountain, where Zhong Shentong lives in seclusion.
"Originally, this Zhong Shentong was just an ordinary old man. Although he got half a volume of "The Mysterious Art of Life and Death" by chance, he kept practicing it to no avail. It was not until the end of his life that he broke through the shackles under tremendous pressure and successfully entered the Qi Refining Stage."
"After the Qi Refining Stage, I lacked the motivation to practice. I spent the rest of my life in this small temple."
"I should have waited until the deadline to break through again. But now it's ahead of schedule..."
"What is his foundation-building artifact?"
Ji Shaoli did not reveal his figure, but concealed his breath and watched from afar.
In addition to Zhong Shentong, there was also a little Taoist boy of eight or nine years old in the small temple.
What’s even more outrageous is that things like cleaning, making fire and cooking in the temple can obviously be solved directly with magic.
But Zhong Shentong just let the little Taoist boy do it himself.
This little Taoist boy was very good-looking, with a pair of big eyes that seemed to be able to speak, bright and shining. But he worked hard without complaint, and was very efficient. His skilled posture did not look like a child at all.
The little Taoist boy handled everything in an orderly manner, but Zhong Shentong just sat by a pond in the backyard of the small temple and fished.
The little Taoist boy shouted a few times but to no avail, so he had to bring the prepared meal to Zhong Shentong.
"Master, it's time to eat." The little Taoist boy said in a baby voice.
"Shh, don't scare away my fish."
The little Taoist boy curled his lips and started eating.
Zhong Shentong waited until the little Taoist boy was almost done eating before his expression changed: "He's taken the bait!"
I pulled the fishing rod hard, but found that what I caught was not a fish.
But it was just a ball of green light.
Zhong Shentong looked disappointed, but he still reached out and groped in the green light ball for a while.
After a while, he took out a circular magical instrument that seemed to be rusty.
Zhong Shentong took a look at it, shook his head slightly, and threw it directly to the little Taoist boy.
The little Taoist boy seemed to be used to this and took it over skillfully: "Master, what is it this time?"
"The fire plate can produce a flame. You won't need to use talismans to make a fire in the future." Zhong Shentong said lazily.
He put away the fishing rod and started to eat voraciously.
After building the foundation, you no longer need to eat like ordinary people.
But Zhong Shentong seemed to be enjoying the meal very much and ate with relish.
In just a few moments, all the food on the table was gone.
"Master is going to take a nap. Don't disturb me unless it's extremely important." Zhong Shentong stood up and gave the order while humming a little tune.
"I know, I know." The little Taoist boy was a little helpless.
When the sound of snoring was heard in the small temple, the little Taoist boy cleaned up all the kitchen waste and turned back to the pond.
He took out a fishing rod from somewhere and started fishing just like Zhong Shentong had done before.
But after a long time, there was no movement at all.
The little Taoist boy couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
"Master said that only those with a sincere heart can fish treasures from this pond. I have been trying for several years, but I have never been able to catch anything."
"Damn it..." She threw another shot without giving up.
The result remained the same, the tip of the fishing rod was still empty.
The little Taoist boy then accepted his fate and left the pond dejectedly.
Not long after.
Ji Shaoli slowly showed up.
"Interesting." He stared at the pool of water not far away with an inexplicable expression.
After setting up a layer of illusion around it, he began to carefully examine the small pond.
Observing with spiritual consciousness, this is indeed ordinary pool water.
It is no more than ten feet deep and no more than thirty feet long and wide.
The view inside the pond is also unobstructed.
Apart from some tiny floating objects, there were no fish living at all.
If I hadn’t just witnessed Zhong Shentong fishing out a ball of green light from the pond.
Ji Shaoli was almost fooled.
Since he couldn't see anything mysterious, Ji Shaoli simply flew into it himself and tried to find out the mystery of this pond.
but……
After entering the water, there is still no difference from ordinary pool water!
After returning to the shore, Ji Shaoli pondered for a moment, took out materials from the storage ring, and made a fishing rod.
He started fishing, imitating the way the master and disciple had just done.
Sit by the water, hold your breath and concentrate.
One shot thrown!
But there is still no change.
Ji Shaoli sat there for a long time, feeling something was wrong, and put away his fishing rod.
"There is something mysterious about this pool of water. But we can only see it..."
"Could it be that this pond only recognizes Zhong Shentong?"
After thinking for a moment, Ji Shaoli denied this guess.
If that were the case, the little Taoist boy would not have tried it.
"Those who are sincere..."
"How can one be called sincere?"
Ji Shaoli is no stranger to fishing.
Whether it was before the time travel or during the years when he was the Grand Tutor of Daxuan.
Whenever he felt upset, he would go fishing.
With the belief that you will never come back empty-handed, you will always return happily only when you catch a fish.
However, since I started practicing, I have never had this relaxing activity again.
"Sincerely..."
Ji Shaoli seemed to understand something.
This time, he sat by the pond again.
No longer thinking about uncovering the secret of the pond.
I just want to catch a fish!
"call!"
Ji Shaoli looked solemn and threw the fishing rod out suddenly.
The next moment, the scene in front of me changed drastically!
