From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 166: The Ocean Returns to the Ruins

The results of the water market will not be announced until August 15th. It is only the tenth day of July now, so the date is still early, and there are many seafood on the treasure ship.

Li Zhen followed his cousin-in-law Huang Wenxun, bringing small batches of seafood to visit the immortal families in Chuzhou, trying to establish connections.

This Chuzhou is different from other places. It is a place where martial arts flourish. Many human families pass down martial arts from generation to generation, and seafood meets their needs for practicing martial arts.

With the reputation of Huaishui Zheshi, Li Zhen brought gifts to make friends with him, which also allowed him to build up some connections.

Afterwards, he visited the demon fairy family in Chuzhou. He came up with another idea and wrote a list of the goods on the treasure ship and took it with him.

He also sold items like house-guarding corals and conch shells one by one or two at a time, as well as sea jade, grass jade, various spiritual pearls, shell pearls, and gold pearls.

In a short while, Li Zhen transformed into a peddler walking the streets. At first, he was accompanied by Huang Wenxun. Later, when he got familiar with everyone, he went out to do business on his own.

He was just like a peddler, taking a few of each item and putting them in his magic bag. When he came across someone who looked like he could make a fortune, he would show the list of goods and ask if they wanted it.

In this way, little by little, he accumulated a lot. After a month, he actually sold a lot of goods. At the same time, he also understood the needs of the inland areas of Kyushu. Next time he comes, he will definitely not make any mistakes when choosing goods.

Not to mention how Li Zhen was training like a peddler, Yu Shuyang had also reached a critical point in his cultivation.

Earlier, he was born under the element of water, with nine parts of Ren Yang water and one part of Xin Yin metal. Some time ago, Wen Qu was in power, and the nine parts of Ren Yang water transformed into three parts of Gui Yin water.

At that time, Yu Shuyang didn't think there was any impact. After all, he had already completed the foundation building, entered the Tao and gathered the Dharma image. It made no difference whether the Ren Yang water was nine parts or six parts.

However, the magic power formed by the Ren Yang water is a vast ocean of magic power, which is fundamentally different from the Xuan Shui Gui Xu that he wants to cultivate.

Earlier, with the help of the Xuanwu Turtle Book's True Shape Talisman, the vast ocean was forcibly turned into a pool of black water. As the magic power accumulated, the black water pool expanded into a black water lake.

During these days, the black turtle soaked in the Yellow Sand River, absorbing all the realgar earth energy within a radius of ten miles, and also infusing a large amount of water energy and water evil into the mysterious orifice.

As he refined Qi and eliminated evil, the accumulated magical power and spiritual power reached the 1,500-year mark, which was the limit that the ninth rank could endure.

The three true-shape talismans in the Xuanqiao tried hard to suppress it, but it turned out that it was impossible to compress the vast ocean of Renshui into Xuanshui Guixu.

Yu Shuyang now has only two choices. One is to break through immediately and not wait until the True Shape Talisman can no longer suppress him.

Another way is to find another way to completely transform the vast ocean of Ren water into the vast ocean of Xuan water, or to change to refining the vast ocean of Bei water.

If it were anyone else, there might be no way out, but fortunately Yu Shuyang had the Black Tortoise Book's true form talisman, which could be used to deduce the technique.

The millstone of celestial phenomena and earthly destiny disappeared, and the Black Tortoise Book was revealed, which was a complete black tortoise and a black snake without a head or tail.

As the exercises were performed, the upper and lower tortoise shells vibrated slightly, forming a rhythm of law. The celestial phenomena generated the celestial principles, and the earth's destiny created the earth's laws.

The Heavenly Gang rotates the Heavenly Gate, 360 revolutions make one cycle, and 3,600 revolutions make up Yang Bei.

The Earth's mechanism drives the Earth's engine. Three hundred and thirty revolutions make up one degree, and three thousand three hundred degrees of rotation make up a Yin eclipse.

During Yang Bo, Xuanwu stretches out his limbs, and during Yin Eclipse, Xuanwu contracts his neck and limbs. This stretching and contracting is the way of movement of Yang Shui Xuangui.

The movement and stillness of the black tortoise and the movement and stillness of the black snake are two different methods of application. The black tortoise is yang and likes stillness and does not like movement, so stretching and contraction become movement and stillness.

The black snake is yin and likes movement rather than stillness. It is also responsible for harmonizing water and fire, so the snake's body has eighteen coils, and it is the same in movement and stillness.

The magic rhythm of Xuanwu's true form is becoming more and more complete, and the Turtle Book of celestial phenomena and earthly fortunes has been upgraded to become the Heavenly Principles and Earthly Rules. As it is further operated and calculated, it is becoming more and more powerful.

In just a few moments, the Turtle Book offered four or five methods, and Yu Shuyang chose a simple one—the mixing of yin and yang. If the vast expanse of Ren water refines the vastness of water, then the return of Xuan water refines the depth of water; there's no difference between the two.

Yu Shuyang borrowed the true form of the Xuanwu Turtle Book and threw the movements of the turtle and snake into the vast ocean of Ren water, with the power of eighteen turns and the power of expansion and contraction.

The two forces formed a whirlpool in the water. In an instant, waves rolled on the water surface and undercurrents surged beneath the water.

The two whirlpools attracted each other, getting closer and closer until they merged into each other. This whirlpool was the predecessor of Guixu. Like the heart circulating blood, the whirlpool continuously swallowed Ren water and spit out Xuan water.

One thousand four hundred and ninety-nine years of magical power were replaced in three days, and the vast ocean turned into a whirlpool of return.

Yu Shuyang is no longer suppressing his realm. He is in the middle or even late ninth rank. As long as he replenishes the water evil for his Dharma image, he will be able to break through to the eighth rank.

There is no external tribulation when breaking through from the ninth grade to the fifth grade, except for an internal tribulation at the sixth grade - the tribulation of self-cognition.

Therefore, when the realm is improved, apart from the increase of magic power and power, there will not be much noise. Now that Yu Shuyang has made a breakthrough, the biggest change is that the fish body has grown to six feet.

As the dragon carp's bloodline grew, he naturally comprehended the method of dragon roar. As the saying goes: tigers roar in the mountains and dragons roar in the sea.

This dragon roar is the manifestation of dragon's might. When the aquatic creatures hear it, their legs will naturally go weak. The dragon roar is also a method of sound attack.

Yu Shuyang was not familiar with the five tones and six rhythms, so he couldn't hum a tune for the time being. In his previous life, he had heard that when a female sword fairy wielded a sword, she used the sound of the sword to make music, which was a hundred times more powerful than the simple sound of sword energy and thunder.

To this end, he specifically sought out Yu Bajie and asked her to help find a music repairer or a musician who was proficient in music to teach him the five tones and six laws.

The snake demon clan has no shortage of music cultivators. The sound of snakes is a naturally enchanting song, unlike the carp clan, who are mute in the water except for blowing bubbles.

Yu Bajie was pounding plum petals with Yu Mu, and she wanted to refine all the flowers in the yard into incense pills. The incense pills she refined were also well-known in Shui City.

Refining incense is also a form of cultivation. One must be proficient in pharmacology and understand how to combine pills and anneal. One also needs to have good hands-on skills. Making pills and rubbing incense are basic skills.

The skill of cooking fish mother pastry is even more impressive with his hands. He uses a pair of large mallets like weapons and can use all kinds of strength.

After a few hits with a hammer, the flower petals on the chopping board are ground into fine powder like water grinder. The powder for incense generally does not need to be so fine, and the incense made in this way will not be durable.

Yu Bajie saw it but did not say anything to stop it. It was a happy occasion between mother and daughter. The petals were ground very finely, and the incense should be mixed even more finely.

"You came at the right time. I just said that when you come, I will help me refine a gourd of pure water, which I will use when refining water next time." Sister Yu Ba was also happy to see her brother coming.

She just told her mother that the last time her ninth brother came, she gave him a gourd and tricked him into filling it up before letting him go.

Unexpectedly, he was frightened and ran away after refining only a gourd of spiritual water. At that time, Sister Yu Ba originally wanted to keep him in Danhuang Cave Heaven.

She was also hesitant about this matter, and seeing that her brother was reluctant, she didn't say anything. Fortunately, the result was good, and now the family is reunited.

"Eighth sister, please help me find a musician who is proficient in music. I need to learn the five tones and six laws." Yu Shuyang asked his sister.

Yu Bajie took out the water gourd again and said, "When you fill this gourd with clean water, I will invite a master of sound cultivation for you."

After saying that, Yu Bajie couldn't stop laughing.
