Cultivation: I Forge Immortality with My Spiritual Eyes
Chapter 20: Xiaoli shows off her power
As dawn broke, the morning light spread across the sea.
The rising mist and ethereal vapors create a hazy, dreamlike scene, blurring the distant sky and the nearby sea.
It was at this moment.
A simple little fishing boat, its sails billowing, cut through the thin mist and sped along with the wind.
The boat left two thin trails of water as it passed, carrying a person and a cat, leisurely sailing towards the deep sea.
"..."
An hour passed in the blink of an eye.
The fishing boat sailed into an unfamiliar sea area, where a dozen or so deserted islands appeared on the horizon.
The islands vary in size, with jagged reefs and swirling sea mist, scattered like chess pieces.
Looking around, one could occasionally see the silhouettes of other fishing boats passing by in the fog, but they were indistinct and unclear.
This sea area is nearly two hundred miles away from Qingluo Island.
Several days earlier, Jiang Yi had sailed past this deserted island.
This area is characterized by frequent sea fog and gentle undercurrents, making it an ideal habitat for fish and an excellent fishing spot.
However, at that time, my cultivation was still shallow and I lacked confidence. I was worried about encountering unexpected events, so I did not venture deeper into the area rashly.
Now that his cultivation has broken through and his strength is no longer what it used to be, he thought he would come here to explore and try his luck.
Jiang Yi scrutinized the boat with his eyes, secretly channeling his magical power as he slowly and deliberately rowed the oars, constantly keeping an eye on his surroundings.
soon.
After observing the area several times, he quickly selected a spot to set up his net.
To the right front, there are two deserted islands side by side, with mountains extending like arms to encircle a gentle inner bay.
The sea is calm and the water is clear. It is much shallower than the open sea, which makes it easy for fish to gather.
Jiang Yi lowered the sails and slowly steered the boat in.
Looking around and finding nothing amiss, he dropped anchor and went out to sea to begin preparing the fishing nets.
"Meow~"
Little Pear sat obediently on his shoulder, her big, round eyes looking around.
They were soon drawn to the seabirds circling and calling above the deserted island.
It was itching to get closer, so it couldn't help but rub against Jiang Yi's cheek and call out softly.
Jiang Yi didn't even look up, took out two baits and tossed them into the sea, saying calmly:
"Stop thinking about playing around. Business is important. If we don't make any money on this trip, we'll be starving when we get back. We'll see if you can handle that."
"Meow~"
Little Pear seemed to understand, pouting and humming softly.
It immediately flicked its tail, leaped to the ground, stared at the sea and looked around, as if trying to help find fish.
Jiang Yi shook his head and chuckled, letting it be. He channeled his magic power into his arms and swung the fishing net around with a mighty swing.
The large net was unfurled with a "whoosh," landed on the sea surface, and slowly sank.
"Phew~"
After waiting a while, and seeing no abnormalities in the fishing net, Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
He tied the tow rope to the boat and looked up to survey the nearby deserted island.
While observing the terrain, they waited patiently to close the net.
Half an incense stick's time has passed in the blink of an eye.
"Splash—!"
Water splashed everywhere, the fishing net broke through the water, and dozens of fish jumped and frolicked in the net.
Among them were two silverback fish, a dozen or so miscellaneous fish, and two or three sea snakes.
There was also an unusually active blue-scaled fish, with emerald-green scales and several feet long.
Jiang Yi glanced at the catch and immediately beamed with joy, thinking to himself that he had come to the right place.
The flesh of the bluefin bream is tender and imbued with a spiritual quality, making it highly sought after in the market and much more valuable than the silverback bream.
A fish this heavy could easily fetch at least three ounces of spirit sand.
If we can catch a few more bluefin bream, we'll have a full catch today.
He hurriedly pulled up the fishing net and walked towards the live water tank at the bow of the boat.
Little Pear wagged its tail and followed happily to my feet.
Its big eyes were fixed on the fishing net, its mouth practically watering with anticipation.
"Clatter—"
Suddenly, a sea snake emerged from the net and fell onto the deck, wriggling as it swam towards the sea, trying to escape.
"Meow!"
Seeing that the delicious food that was about to escape was about to run away, Little Pear's eyes widened and she immediately panicked.
Before Jiang Yi could make a move, the little claws pounced forward, grabbing the sea snake's tail and pulling it back.
Although this sea serpent was not a demon, it was over ten feet long, with strong bones and muscles, and considerable strength, far surpassing the tiny kitten.
Startled, the sea snake twisted its body and frantically tried to escape.
The little guy not only failed to catch it, but was also pulled into the sea and dragged along with it to swim away into the distance...
"Sigh~"
Seeing this, Jiang Yi shook his head and sighed with a look of disgust.
He channeled his magic power into the Xuan Shuttle, ready to make his move.
On the sea, Little Pear was caught off guard and fell into the water. Her fur was soaked, and she was choking and panting heavily, extremely annoyed.
It shook its head violently, bared its teeth, and extended its sharp claws.
Before Jiang Yi could come to his rescue, purple lightning already shone from his body!
"Sizzle—!"
Instantly, electric arcs crackled and leaped, raging across the water.
The sea serpent was enveloped by lightning, and instantly convulsed violently, its skin tearing open and wisps of black smoke rising from its body.
It soon lost its vitality, became stiff and straight, and slowly sank into the deep sea.
"Meow~"
They struck successfully, venting their anger.
Little Pear triumphantly flicked its tail, opened its mouth and grabbed the snake's body, its little paws quickly pawing as it swam towards the fishing boat.
After a while.
It leaped lightly onto the deck, flung the sea snake aside, and shook its body vigorously.
Then, with his head held high and chest out, he squatted down and looked up at the sky, silently waiting for something.
Jiang Yi watched it make a fuss and found it somewhat amusing, but he was too lazy to pay any attention to the guy.
Quietly calming his magical powers, he pretended to be nonchalant and went about tidying up the fishing net.
Seeing that there was still no movement from the other side.
Little Pear was getting restless, wagging its tail and glancing frequently at the bow of the boat.
Finally, unable to contain itself any longer, it sullenly flicked its tail, stood up, and tossed the sea snake at Jiang Yi's feet.
It stared with a resentful look in its eyes, meowing incessantly.
"Hahaha……"
Jiang Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Reaching out, I gently patted its wet little head and softly praised it:
"Not bad, my little pear has some skills. The master didn't feed you for nothing; eating so much has been useful."
After offering a few words of comfort, he tore off a cloth and wiped the little guy clean, then casually picked up the sea snake to examine it.
The snake's body was charred black and covered with lightning strike marks. It had been brutally electrocuted and was emitting a strong, meaty aroma. Its death was extremely gruesome.
Jiang Yi was somewhat astonished.
He knew that Xiaoli possessed the talent of lightning, but he had never witnessed it before, and he never expected that its power would be so formidable.
If someone were to suddenly do this to you, you probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.
He licked his lips and secretly made up his mind.
We still need to treat this seemingly delicate and adorable but actually fierce and irritable little guy better in the future.
This person is petty and holds grudges; it's best not to provoke them.
"Hehe, little pear, you're really amazing, just as I expected..."
Jiang Yi's eyes darted around, and he forced a bright smile before gently comforting Xiao Li for a while.
Then, skin and clean the water snake, and let it gnaw on it slowly.
He then lifted the fishing net, straightened it, and cast it back into the sea with renewed vigor.
This bay is teeming with fish, including many aquatic life. We should take advantage of the calm waters and catch as many fish as possible in the net.
If the catch remains this plentiful, I can invite Niu Yaojin to join me on my next voyage.
The ocean is vast, so it's good to have someone to look after each other...
