From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 7: Father Yu asks about his ambition
That night, Yu Jixiang, Yu's father, went to talk to Yu Shuyang in a very formal manner, which was something he had never seen before.

"What are your thoughts on the future? I want to have a good talk with you today."

Father Yu took his son to the study, where he stayed alone all year round and usually did not allow other people to enter. This was also Yu Shuyang's first time there.

The room was filled with scrolls of calligraphy and paintings, some opened and some not, all depicting portraits of people, including beauties and scholars.

“In my early years, I was not a viviparous fish, but an egg-laying fish in the Nanyu Pond. It is not an exaggeration to say that I have no father or mother.

His own aptitude was not high, but he was able to break through to the ninth level of cultivation thanks to the inheritance of the Book Fairy he found in the Beishi market.

I didn't teach any of you nine siblings, not because I wanted to keep it secret, but because it's a dead end. You'll only be able to reach the sixth level, and it's impossible to break through to the fifth level.

I see that you don’t seem to be interested in the heritage of your clan in recent years, so I want to ask you, what are your plans for the future?
I have also asked the lecturers in the academy and communicated with your husband many times. Your talent is more suitable for planting. You are most suitable to be a spiritual plant husband or a spiritual farmer.

However, you seem to be interested in the Jin Xing Dao Xing. Since you haven't yet reached the ninth level of cultivation, I want to ask you what you really think. "

Yu Jixiang, Yu's father, sat on a chair behind the desk and had a deep talk with his son. This was not the first time this had happened. His eight daughters who had married far away had all experienced it.

His practice is a dead end. The core of the Pulse Viewing Method to become an immortal is to eat the word "immortal" three times, which is almost impossible. The true meaning of immortality is out of reach.

The life span of Yu in the future could not exceed a thousand years, which was why he did not restrict his children, did not want to tie them up by his side, and let them make their own choices.

This was also his feeling when he traveled abroad. During the journey, he became sworn brothers and sisters with five others, which made him look beyond the Xiyu blessed land.

"Father, what do you think? Especially regarding the True Seed inheritance, I want to know that."

Yu Shuyang did not express his thoughts at the first time. Instead, he was more concerned about the true seed inheritance that had been out of news for a long time.

"The longevity character will only appear after you break through to the ninth level. This just gives you another option.

You also know that there is no regret in building the foundation, and breaking through the ninth level is a road with thousands of troops and horses. As long as you condense the Dharma image, you can only go this way to the end.

I asked our ancestors about this, and they said the longevity character and the happiness character inscription passed down in our family are likely to bring you the Red God of Happiness. If you're lucky, you might even bring you the Heavenly God of Happiness."

The ancestor that Yu's father mentioned is the Great Immortal Xiyu. He lives in the Taoist temple on the top of Yu Mountain all year round. Except for appearing when presiding over the North and South Altars, he usually does not see outsiders.

"So, father doesn't think I'd be a goldsmith?"

"It's not that I'm not optimistic, it's just a coincidence. True inheritance is not something that can be unattainable.

It's because your cousin has the ancestral bloodline. If he had the same bloodline as his father, this opportunity would never have fallen on you.

This can only be regarded as a guarantee for you, so that you won't end up like me in the future, with no choice but to sit in a dry grave and wait for death."

Yu's father spoke calmly, even happily. He was relieved that he could provide a safety net for his son, but he also knew that the young man's nature could not be stopped.

"I have received a legacy, a fifth-grade sword technique, but it is not a waste of talent. Gold and water coexist, and there is no hindrance."

Faced with Yu Fu's frankness, Yu Shuyang did not hide it. He said that the sword immortal inheritance would allow him to break through and become an immortal, and there would be no problem. This was what he had practiced in his previous life.

Compared to Yu Shuyang's calmness, Yu's father was a little bit unconvinced. Before this, he had imagined that it was a metal magic or something like that.

Cultivation is divided into three levels: Tao, Fa, and Shu. Maiwang's method of becoming an immortal is a top-tier technique, centered around the word "eat." This path is too narrow; only by eating three divine words can one achieve immortality. Success is easy, but failure is also easy, and there's no possibility of changing one's sect.

Like the immortal Xiyu who first cultivated the way of literature and then changed it to auspicious marriage, the road ahead was broad enough. He switched from practicing the great way to practicing the Tao, but the price was that the road ahead also became bumpy.

"I didn't expect you to have such a deep fortune. The fifth-grade sword technique is indeed very powerful.

Among all the immortals, only the Sword Immortal is the best in combat. He is a Killing Immortal and also has a short lifespan. Do you know the reason behind this?"

Yu's father did not delve into the sword immortal's methods. Instead, he reminded the sword immortal of the dangers. Sword immortals have always been fond of fighting. As the saying goes, if you stay by the river, you will get your feet wet.

The ending of Yu Shuyang in his previous life also confirmed this statement: he was the shortest-lived immortal in battle.

"Don't worry, father. I'm refining Xin Yin Jin Qi, which is soft gold. There's no such thing as it being easily broken when it's too hard.

Moreover, although I practice the sword immortal method, I do not only practice the gold method, but start with the sky wind method, and follow the path of gold energy turning into feng shui.

Whether it's Ren Yang Water Qi or Xin Yin Metal Qi, both are harmonized by the Wind Method, neither wasting their own advantages nor abandoning the inheritance of the Fifth Rank Sword Immortal Method."

Yu Shuyang talked about the most crucial part. This was the result of his deduction and calculation over the past ten years. He had the talent for the metal element in his previous life, so practicing the metal method was a natural progression.

In this life, Yu's body is water with gold in his destiny. Forcing himself to practice gold magic would be a waste of his advantages. However, it happened that he knew a Heavenly Wind Spell, which was just right to harmonize gold and water.

Moreover, the Great Curse of Heavenly Wind is not a magic spell, but the Great Way of Heavenly Wind, which includes the four seasons and eight solar terms, the five tones and six rhythms, and the seventy-two solar terms. Harmonizing gold and water is just the simplest basics.

"Is there such a good thing? This is not something that can be obtained by good fortune, it requires careful consideration.

So, you don’t need to practice for the next few days. As your father, I am trying to save face by asking the ancestors to predict your future.

Lest there be a trap behind you, I'm not afraid of reaching a dead end in my practice, but I'm afraid of someone setting up a sinister scheme to take my life and fish for trouble."

Fish Father was still worried after all. This evil method of risking one's life to fish was really too horrifying. There were hooks buried in the practice method, and the harvest was just like fishing.

The reason why the Great Immortal Xiyu changed his cultivation was because there was a fifth-grade top-level demon fairy Wensi Snake, who practiced martial arts in various places. Wensi was the most suitable for Wenli.

The immortal is the Wensi carp, a carp whose ancestral bloodline has returned. All the Wensi carp in this world have escaped the catastrophe and ascended to heaven with their ancestors, and their bloodline inheritance has lost all its skills.

Later, if it were not for the protection of Taicang Embroidery Academy and the God of Joy, the Great Immortal Xiyu would have long become a spiritual consumable in the mouth of Wensi Snake.

Yu Shuyang also knew about this past event and realized that he could not stop Yu's father's actions, so he just let it go. This idea, including the method, were all resources from his previous life.

“Your cousin has also told you about the East China Sea trade. Take him for a walk in the blessed land.

We are deep inland and are not afraid of the might of the East China Sea Dragon Palace. Moreover, we have the support of the Dragon Palace's twelve princes and the Lord of Yazhou Island, not just your godmother."

Yu's father then told Yu Shuyang that the matter of the East China Sea trade route had been discussed a few years ago, and Xiyu Fudi could also participate.
