However, this injury was something Jiang Shi could easily treat.

Jiang Shi stretched out his hand, and a wisp of blood energy emanated from his body, flying towards the old man on the ground.

Soon, the wisp of blood energy permeated the old man's body and began to heal his injuries.

Jiang Shi, who had cultivated the Crimson Blood Kui Ox phantom of the "Three Fiends Suppressing Prison Technique," was able to freely manipulate blood energy.

Treating a cultivator at the second level of the Qi Refining stage is a piece of cake.

The old man's injuries healed quickly, and he returned to normal.

If Jiang Shi wanted, he could even repair the old man's severed spiritual root.

Jiang Shi didn't do that, after all, the two were not related.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty! Please accept my deepest gratitude!" The old man said, kneeling down and bowing three times with utmost respect and thanks.

The girl also kowtowed.

Jiang Shi neither flinched nor avoided the two men's deep bows.

Although Jiang Shi only rescued the old man and the young girl incidentally while completing the task of obtaining the superior magic artifact, the Mountain and Sea Banner.

However, for them, this was indeed a life-saving grace.

After Jiang Shi got what he wanted, he was about to jump into the water and leave the place.

Just then, a faint aura emanated from the girl, catching Jiang Shi's attention.

A chilling aura of water spirit emanated from it.

Jiang Shixiu possessed the "Five Spirits Technique," so he was naturally very sensitive to the five elements.

"Huh?" Jiang Shi stopped and sent his spiritual sense through his body to scan the girl.

Her grandfather, the old man, changed his expression drastically after sensing this spiritual awareness.

When he looked at Jiang Shi, a hint of fear and despair appeared in his eyes.

"Gold, water, and earth are the three elemental roots. That's normal, but this chilling aura comes from gold and water. Does this woman actually possess the true meaning of 'gold generating water' from birth?" Jiang Shi murmured to himself with some curiosity.

The true meaning of the mutual generation of the five elements is something that ordinary cultivators only need to master when they reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

During the Qi Refining stage, whoever can comprehend the true meaning of the Five Elements' mutual generation in advance can easily defeat enemies of the same realm in combat, and may even kill enemies of higher levels.

Back then, Lin Yanyi comprehended the true meaning of "Wood Generates Fire" and defeated a cultivator whose realm was one level higher than hers.

This little fisherwoman was born with the true meaning of "metal generates water," which explains why Lu Chuanxing, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, would also take action against a little girl.

It should be noted that Lu Chuanxing was born with the dual spiritual roots of metal and water.

This true meaning of "metal generates water" is especially important to him.

"Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you," Jiang Shi said to the old fisherman.

"However, I need to spend more time with you now," Jiang Shi said.

This true meaning of "metal generates water" is also very important to him.

He has mastered the true meaning of the Five Elements' mutual generation: Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, and Water generates Wood.

Only the last two elements are missing: [Metal generates Water] and [Earth generates Metal].

Now that he has met this fisherwoman, who possesses the innate essence of "metal generates water," he naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity.

He is destined to learn the true meaning of "Metal generates Water" by spending a few days with this fisherwoman.

The old man wanted to refuse, but he didn't dare to at all.

Because the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator had been killed by this person in just a few moves.

How could someone who kills a cultivator of the same realm as easily as killing a chicken dare to offend them?

Besides, who knows if the other party had any bad intentions?

Thinking of this, the old man agreed without hesitation.

"It is my honor that the immortal is willing to stay with this old man for some time. My grandfather and I will certainly serve the immortal well," the old man said respectfully.

And so, Jiang Shi, in his wooden boat, carried the old man and the fisherwoman, drifting along the river into the distance.

The next day at noon, Jiang Shi sat at the bow of the boat and preached to the fisherwoman.

In order to accelerate his cultivation of the true meaning of "Gold Generates Water", Jiang Shi directly began to teach the fisherwoman her skills and techniques.

"Did you hear me clearly?" Jiang Shi suddenly stopped speaking and asked.

"Ah!" The fisherwoman blushed deeply and looked flustered.

"You, you're daydreaming again," Jiang Shi said with a mock anger, laughing and scolding.

"Ayu knows she was wrong; she shouldn't have been distracted just now."

The fisherwoman's name was Jiang Yu, which coincidentally shared the same surname as Jiang Shi, but the two had no connection whatsoever.

Although Jiang Yu was born with the true meaning of "metal generates water", she always seemed to be distracted and silly when teaching techniques.

"This little fisherwoman seems a bit slow; I wonder if she'll be able to learn the martial arts," Jiang Shi thought.

Jiang Yu had no idea what Jiang Shi thought of her. She was just a young girl in love, rescued from danger by a dashing young man.

This is exactly like what's described in the storybooks.

Jiang Yu was unaware that Jiang Shi's current appearance was fake.

He could change his identity and appearance at will using the "Hundred Illusions and Thousand Faces Technique".

"Young master, the fish is ready. Please enjoy your meal." The old man carried a small table to the bow of the boat.

This fish is no ordinary creature; it is a second-grade spirit fish that Jiang Shi caught using the Water-Stabilizing Pearl.

If an ordinary cultivator smells this second-grade spirit fish, their magical power will increase.

With the Water-Stabilizing Pearl, catching a second-grade spirit fish is not difficult.

Jiang Shi came to the table and began to taste the dishes.

Although it is said that once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, you can abstain from grains.

Avoid ingesting too much junk food, which can lead to an excess of impurities in the body, making it more difficult to distinguish between genuine and counterfeit substances.

However, this spirit fish is not an ordinary thing; it contains no impurities.

"You should sit down and eat too," Jiang Shi said to Jiang Yu.

While Jiang Shi was having his meal, Jiang Yu stood to the side, staring at him pitifully, her drool almost dripping onto the food.

"But remember, you can only eat three bites at most, don't eat more," Jiang Shi reminded him.

It wasn't that Jiang Shi was unwilling to part with any of the spirit fish; it was just that Jiang Yu was currently only a mortal, and the spirit fish on the table were all second-grade spirit creatures. If an ordinary person ate too much of them, the spiritual energy in their body would not be absorbed, nor would it be able to dissipate in time.

This would cause the girl's meridians to be severed by the excess spiritual energy in her body, which is extremely dangerous.

As soon as Jiang Shi finished speaking, Jiang Yu sat down and began to eat voraciously, devouring six pieces of sashimi in a row.

"Stop! Spit it out!" Jiang Shi hurriedly tried to stop Jiang Yu, but it was too late; Jiang Yu had already swallowed the raw fish.

"You're incredibly stupid," Jiang Shi said speechlessly. Then he stretched out his finger and gently touched Jiang Yu, and a silk thread landed on her.

Jiang Shi wanted to use the binding thread to devour the spiritual energy within Jiang Yu's body.

But the moment the silk thread fell...
