Chapter 142: Ninth Rank: Brave Fisherman
On the other side, Luo Chuan was guarding the demon's corpse. After a while, other demons came rushing over after smelling the blood. He was unable to deal with it alone, so he cut off the materials of two ninth-grade demons, packed them up and took them away to Tiezhu Palace.

While cutting the monsters, two waist badges fell off the bodies of Captain Shrimp Soldiers and Captain Frog Soldiers. Both waist badges had patterns on them and seemed to be made of jade, with a faint sense of strange power.

This strange power just happened to coincide with the blessing of God in his body, and it immediately absorbed the power in the two waist badges.

It turns out that the strange power in the two waist badges is exactly the power of the orthodox Hu Bo's water god.

When the world changed drastically, Hu Bo also revived at the first moment and blessed some surrounding villagers whose horoscopes and five elements were biased towards water and who liked water. However, before they had time to make plans, they were invaded by demons.

From the waist badge, Luo Chuan obtained the ritual of fisherman among all professions.

The unorthodox ritual is to be a fisherman, but one does not catch ordinary fish, shrimps, turtles or tortoises.

But to catch and kill water monsters.

The ritual for promotion to [Ninth Rank. Wave-Fighting Fisherman] is to fight with monsters underwater and kill them, or catch them ashore. You can do it with bare hands or with a harpoon. For those who are not good enough, there are four. The last step is to catch and kill a ninth-rank water monster in the water.

After becoming a ninth-rank wave-fighting fisherman, he is like a white shark in the waves. Not only can he breathe underwater, but he also has extremely powerful water combat abilities. In an aquatic environment, he can even continuously restore his own life, true energy, and magic power.

Seeing this, Luo Chuan decisively used the demon's flesh and blood to fish and jumped into Luo Lake to avoid the wild demons that smelled the blood.

By the way, he planned to go into the water to fight the water monsters, especially the inferior water monsters. He was confident that he was not bad.

After all, the Wuzu ritual does not conflict with this ritual, and it also belongs to the category of "offering skulls to sacrifice to martial arts", but the fighting is done underwater, and the person being pleased is the water god in charge of fishing and hunting.

The water god in charge of fishing and hunting, named Chuanzhu, is also the god in charge of hunting. The two can be cultivated at the same time in the early stages, but the final directions are still different.

The flesh and blood of demons are inherently demonic and are a great tonic for ordinary aquatic creatures. If they eat them, they may also transform into little demons.

Luo Chuan entered the water, and the weapon in his hand was none other than Captain Xia Bing's pair of pliers.

Because he had the power of the Lake God's blessing, he could not only hold his breath underwater for a long time, but also open his eyes underwater.

After driving away the ordinary fish and shrimp, a big fish soon came. It was a blackfish. Although this blackfish was not enlightened by dragon energy and turned into a monster with a fish head and a human body, it was also a low-grade "fish monster". It was probably seventy or eighty kilograms and very ferocious. It was fast and strong in the water. If someone fished at it, they would definitely be dragged into the water.

Luo Chuan was not surprised but happy. He just took two shrimp pliers and started fighting with the blackfish underwater.

He had been making a living in the lake with his father since he was a child. Although he had never obtained the power of rituals before, he was able to catch a fish weighing seven or eight kilograms with his bare hands. Now, the Wuzu rituals have increased his three treasures of essence, energy and spirit. With the blessing of the Lake Lord, he has become a citizen of Taichang. With the stove fire given by Song Wuji in his heart, he has become even more powerful.

There were splashes on the water surface, which frightened the wild demons that came to eat meat and made them look at the situation on the water surface. Then, the young man surfaced, took a deep breath and dived again.

Soon, blood appeared in the water. The young man used shrimp pliers to clamp the gills of the blackfish and twisted it hard, and the blood-red gills were torn off completely.

Without its gills, the mullet not only bled profusely but also lost its ability to breathe. Soon, it lost its strength, allowing Luo Chuan to seize the opportunity and bring it ashore. Once ashore, the young man was filled with excitement, while the wild demon, who had just devoured the shrimp corpse, looked at Luo Chuan warily.

The blackfish stopped jumping soon after it came ashore. The boy found the right spot and hit its brain stem hard, killing it.

The next moment, the spiritual charm of the mullet flowed into the boy's body. The boy fell into an illusion for a moment, as if he had gained the memory of the mullet. He patrolled the territory in the water, hunted fish and shrimp... All his water skills and swimming techniques improved rapidly.

After losing these spiritual charms, the mullet corpse quickly became fishy and smelly, as if it had been rotting for two or three days.

Unlike the skull-offering and weapon-sacrificing ritual, which focuses on the power of "hunting" itself, this ritual not only focuses on hunting itself, but also on absorbing some of the "water-related" characteristics of the aquatic creatures.

The fish demon that has lost its water nature is not qualified to be a land demon, which means it has lost its most original thing.

Luo Chuan took out the three-fresh fish balls he brought with him when he left the city. After eating them, the physical strength he had consumed in fighting the blackfish was quickly restored. He also felt his strength increasing rapidly, so he immediately made a nest again and dived into the water.

Luo Chuan completed the ritual here, while the rest of the people in Tiezhu Palace began to explore the gate of Tiezhu Palace. They were old, and only those 12 years old or younger could become Taoist children.

The mountain gate missions are all very simple, but they allow you to completely inspect the mountain gate where the Iron Pillar Palace is located.

There are five mountain gate missions.

The first one is to collect thatch, but this thatch is at a Taoist tomb. The thatch is needed in front of the tomb, which is said to be related to the making of talisman paper.

The Taoist tomb looks very gloomy, but there are actually no taboos. You only need to collect three free incense sticks at the mountain gate, light the incense in front of the tomb, and then you can collect the thatch.

This thatch is magical. No matter how many people collect it, it will grow again after a while.

The second is to collect Chinese tallow trees. There is a Chinese tallow tree forest on the back mountain. Chinese tallow trees can be used to make candles, which is also related to incense. However, there will be waxworms. Waxworms feed on Chinese tallow trees and need to be killed. However, waxworms are easy to kill and ordinary villagers can also kill them. Waxworms will also produce wax on their bodies.

The third one is to collect rush, which is needed for the eternal lamp in front of the altar, but it grows randomly and is very secretive, requiring extremely strong observation skills.

The fourth is to take care of the peach forest. There is a peach forest in Shanyang, which is necessary for making peach wood swords, but it is necessary to weed and catch insects. There is no danger in the peach forest, but some people claim to have encountered a peach blossom demon, who would have sex with men in their dreams. Some people also claim to have met a peach blossom fairy, who taught him a magic spell.

The fifth one is splitting bamboo sticks. Bamboo sticks are used to make incense sticks. You need to pick bamboo. There are bamboo rats and bamboo shoots in the bamboo. They taste delicious, but bamboo rats can dig holes. If you are not careful, you will step on empty holes and suffer serious fractures or minor ankle sprains. But just pay attention to your feet and it will be fine.

The five tasks were all related to offering incense, and the rewards were copper coins and fasting pills. It was because of these rewards that the victims were able to take refuge at this mountain gate and spend four or five years there.

"Since the Iron Pillar Palace uses these items to worship the gods and perform sacrifices, or we use them to complete the rituals of sacrifices, we should also use these special items to complete the rituals of higher standards."

"If there are children in the village who have become Taoist children, we can also ask them what they do in the Taoist temple and whether they are involved in the production of these items."
