From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 136 The apprentice is here
A thatched cottage by the Mohe Pond in Xuefu Garden.

Xia Changgeng, who had been in seclusion for a long time, finished molting and came to find Yu Shuyang with three happy fish spirits.

Almost two months have passed since he agreed to accept students to teach kendo after his breakthrough, and now he has brought students here.

"This is Master Yu Jian. You three will be learning from Master Jian from now on. Why don't you come forward and pay your respects to him?" Xia Changgeng introduced the students.

Three happy fish came to Yu Shuyang at the same time, turned over to expose their bellies, and slapped their fins three times.

This was the way the fish spirit performed a great ceremony before it transformed into a human form. After all, a fish body couldn't bow, let alone kowtow to become a disciple.

After Yu Shuyang finished looking at each of them, he said to the three fish spirits, "All of you please stand up and introduce yourselves one by one. This way, we can become acquainted as master and disciple."

The three happy fish were all quite large, exceeding three feet and two inches. One was pure gold without any other colors, one was silver and aquamarine, and the last one was white and yellow.

The pure gold fish spirit took a step forward, and when it opened its mouth, it was as fiery as charcoal. Its voice was raised high and it spoke quickly and urgently.

"Master Yu Jian, my name is Yu Nanshan. I am a true gold and fire refiner. I am seven parts Geng Yang gold and three parts Ding Yin fire. That's why everyone calls me Jin Bupa."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shuyang looked it up and down again. This golden fish was as its name suggested. Its scales were shining with golden light, and they were probably as hard as gold and iron.

The real gold and fire refine the life, and unexpectedly it is an alien species of golden fish spirit. This body of copper head and iron bones can be used to refine the sword into a good sword bone.

"Then I'll call you Jin Bupa from now on. It's a good name, rich and noble." Yu Shuyang nodded.

Immediately afterwards, the yellow and white fish demon took the lead. He was a man with a keen eye. He saw the right opportunity and dared to struggle and grab. He spoke in a muffled voice.

"Hello, Master Yu Jian. My name is Yu Fugui. I have a destiny where gold is hidden within the earth. Seven parts Xin Yin Metal and three parts Wu Yang Earth. I don't have any nicknames."

Yu Shuyang couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He thought that this was because he heard him praising Jin for not being afraid of wealth and magnanimity, so he came out to make a joke.

"Gold hidden in the soil is called wealth and honor, but this is not a good idea, as it can easily lead to bad luck.

Since you don't have a nickname, I'll give you one, let's call you Cang Feng, and let me explain it to you." Yu Shuyang said after thinking it over.

"Thank you, Sword Master, for the name. From now on, I will no longer be called Fugui, but Yu Cangfeng."

Gold hidden in the soil is like jade in a box. He was not a stupid person by nature, so when he heard his master give him a name, he was naturally happy to flatter him.

Yu Zangfeng's body is covered with yellow and white fish scales. Although it doesn't look as dazzling as gold, it is actually as hard as jade ore.

The last fish also came forward. According to the order, he should have been the second one, but unexpectedly, Yu Zangfeng got there first.

He was not angry, and his voice was as cold as snow in June, with a sense of coldness, but the voice was crisp as golden beads falling on a jade plate.

"Hello, Master Yu Jian, my name is Yu Lishui. I was born under the element of metal and water, six parts Xin Yin metal and four parts Ren Yang water."

Yu Shuyang just noticed that the mutual generation of gold and water can be used to practice gold magic as well as water magic. This situation is somewhat similar to his.

Earlier, he was born under the element of water with the element of gold, nine parts of Ren Yang water and one part of Xin Yin gold. Practicing swordsmanship is called seeking gold in water.

A few days ago, Wenquxing entered the destiny, and the destiny was slightly changed. Nine parts of Yang water were reduced to three parts, and transformed into Gui Yin water, becoming six Yang water and three Yin water.

However, he had already established his foundation and entered the Tao, so the change in fate did not affect his cultivation. As the saying goes, there is no regret after establishing the foundation, this is the truth.

"Jin Sheng Li Shui, this name is very good. I just don't know whether you want to pray for water or gold?" Yu Shuyang asked while looking at Yu Lishui.

His method of refining the three elements of gold, water and wind was designed for the purpose of practicing swordsmanship. The method of seeking gold in water now brought about the mutual generation of gold and water.

Is this to let him pass on his legacy? "Master Swordsman, how about asking for gold? How about asking for water?" Yu Lishui said slowly as usual.

"For you, seeking gold is like panning for gold in water, and seeking water is the mutual generation of gold and water. You have six golds and four waters, so naturally gold and water are the obstacles." Yu Shuyang answered truthfully.

"I dare to ask again, what do gold, water and kendo have to do with each other?" Yu Lishui asked in the same tone.

Yu Shuyang paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "The only way to practice swordsmanship is to practice the sword. The gold method and water method are both life skills training, which are just means to accumulate magic power.

However, cultivating immortals also requires relying on the nine-grade cultivation method, climbing up one level at a time. Without life skills to accumulate magic power, how can one break through the realm?
Therefore, it depends on whether you are seeking the Tao or seeking immortality. If you concentrate on the way of the sword, any method can be used as a practice of life skills.

If one is dedicated to cultivating immortality, one should naturally rely on one's own talents and choose a method according to one's destiny."

For a moment, the three fish spirits fell into deep thought.

Xia Changgeng, who was listening from the side, also found it refreshing. The shrimp soldiers' practice was not based on fate, and they practiced the Hercules Star method for generations.

I have never thought about questions like whether to practice Taoism or cultivate immortality. I think it is very amazing to be able to cultivate to the fifth level and become a demon immortal.

"Master Yu Jian is indeed amazing. I have benefited a lot from listening to your words. Now that I have brought all my students to you, do you have any other needs?" Xia Changgeng asked.

When he came, Xia Changgeng's father, Xia Wushou, specifically told him that he would be responsible for handling all of Yu Shuyang's requests from now on.

"There are actually a few demands. The first one is for 3,000 to 5,000 kilograms of hardware, whether it's mixed hardware or just one type of hardware, to be delivered to the Zhitian Tea Garden.

Secondly, the ten shrimp soldiers we borrowed earlier must be divided among our sword-training halls. We need them to accompany us in sword-training in the future." Yu Shuyang asked for the benefits without hesitation.

The breakthrough of the ten shrimp soldiers and quail fire is just suitable for the Four Gods Quail Fire Method practiced by the Candle Fire Spirit Wan family, and the spiritual field also lacks good hands to work.

He had thought about this a long time ago. He asked for the hardware yesterday in the spiritual field. Li Taiping piled up the soil to build a platform, but found that the effect was not ideal.

If you want to gather the earth energy of the Golden Kylin, you have to build a golden platform with hardware, which can also serve as a Feng Shui luck-controlling item.

"Five thousand kilograms of brass will be delivered to you shortly. Can you exchange the shrimp soldiers you requested for a batch? I'll give you twelve... or even fifteen."

Xia Changgeng looked at Yu Shuyang's expression while speaking, knowing that there was no room for negotiation on this matter, and sighed in his heart.

"Those ten Fire Shrimp Soldiers can't be transferred back for now. They're all at the Beifang Lumber Mill. The plum trees planted there are growing wildly and are almost out of control.

"Why don't you wait a moment, and I'll send them all to you later." Xia Changgeng asked cautiously.

The stupid plum is the most inferior spiritual wood of the sixth grade. Apart from its ability to grow quickly, it has no other advantages.

Actually, this matter was caused by Yu Shuyang. He took Li Zhen to look at goods everywhere in Fudi, and finally chose Ximu to take back to Donghai for sale.

Because Xia Jueming lacked the resources for spiritual practice and could not break through his cultivation level for a long time, he saw a deal coming his way, so he cut down all the mature trees in Beifang.

In order to catch up with the next treasure ship's purchase time, he planted a large area of plum blossoms. This thing grows very quickly and can grow to the thickness of a person in half a year.

Everything was normal. A few days ago, Xia Jueming's grandfather, Xia Wushou, went over and transferred most of the shrimp soldiers from Beifang.

Suddenly, a leak appeared, and the growing plum blossoms began to proliferate. Now the water vapor in the blessed land is rising, and the wood energy is also rising.

Only then were all those who could practice in seclusion transferred there, naturally including the shrimp soldiers who had broken through with Quail Fire.

　Happy Dragon Boat Festival holiday.
