Cultivation: I Forge Immortality with My Spiritual Eyes

The moonlight was cold and clear, like frost covering the sea, and the shimmering waves resembled thousands of silver scales.

Jiang Yi rowed his oars, pushed through the waves, and steered the boat toward the waters of Qingluo Island.

His brows relaxed, and a slight smile played on his lips.

This area is indeed teeming with fish.

Today, we not only caught several plump bluefin bream, but also managed to catch five juvenile clams, making it a very fruitful day.

I must invite that scoundrel Niu Yaojin to come with me tomorrow.

If the two of them join forces, even if they encounter that sinister cultivator again, they will no longer need to be so wary.

Little Pear obediently squatted at his feet, her furry little paws pawing at the sea clams in the cloth bag, her face full of curiosity as she leaned closer.

Its nose twitched slightly, and it occasionally raised its paw to pat the door, as if knocking on it.

They seemed puzzled as to why the guy inside hadn't opened the door yet.

Not long after.

The little guy was having a great time when suddenly his ear tips twitched, and he looked up at the dark sea.

At the edge of the horizon, a huge fish fin was breaking through the waves at an astonishing speed.

Little Pear tilted her head, staring intently at the dark figure, her little face full of curiosity.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Yi noticed something was wrong with Xiao Li and turned around to look in the direction of its gaze.

With just one glance, his expression changed drastically.

A shark, about ten feet long, was seen rapidly pursuing them, its dorsal fin like a knife, moving with incredible speed.

On the shark's back, a familiar figure was riding.

The other party's gaze was cold and menacing, and a chilling aura swept across the sea from afar.

The distance between the two sides is closing at a visible speed.

If things continue like this, they will be caught up in no time.

Jiang Yi's heart sank; he hadn't expected his opponent to have such a backup plan.

At this moment, the two sides were only a few miles apart.

The fishing boat was already moving slowly.

Even with the help of the evening breeze, it was still far slower than the shark and had no chance of escaping.

Jiang Yi's expression turned solemn as he quickly scanned the surrounding sea.

They quickly changed course and sped toward a deserted island not far away.

Since we cannot escape, we must not remain at sea to fight the enemy.

Sharks are extremely powerful in the water, and if a fishing boat is destroyed, the only option left is to become a shark's belly.

At this moment, only by landing on the island can we have a glimmer of hope.

Jiang Yi channeled his magic power, the oars whirring like wheels, rowing at full speed while shouting behind him:

"Why do you pursue me so relentlessly, fellow Daoist! I acted according to the agreement, taking only a few young clams. Now that all the treasures are in your possession, why are you being so aggressive and ruthless?"

Wang Lin sat upright on the shark's back, a mocking smile playing on his lips, and said:

"What you say makes perfect sense, fellow Daoist. I had no intention of causing any trouble, but that dead ghost has some connections, and I am not ready to take on that responsibility for the time being."

After much thought, I have no choice but to ask you to make this difficult, fellow Daoist. There are reasons for this, and I hope you can understand.

Be considerate of your mother!

Jiang Yi cursed inwardly, but outwardly maintained composure and continued to persuade:

"Fellow Daoist, please do not misunderstand! The night is deep, and I neither know your names nor see your figures clearly, so how could I have leaked information?"

"If you are still not at ease, fellow Daoist, I swear to the heavens that I will never reveal a single thing I saw today. If I break this oath, may my cultivation be completely destroyed and my path to Dao be severed! What do you think, fellow Daoist?"

"Haha...hahaha!"

Wang Lin suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly.

The laughter stopped abruptly, and his gaze turned sharp:

"It's truly kind of you to consider things so thoroughly, fellow Daoist, but there's no need to trouble yourself. I've been wandering the world for many years, and I've always believed in only one thing: the dead don't speak!"

After saying that, he didn't say anything more. He reached out and took out a talisman. With a burst of magic power, the talisman exploded into specks of spiritual light.

Countless wooden arrows materialized out of thin air, whistling sharply as they rained down on the fishing boat.

Jiang Yi's magical power was already surging and ready to be unleashed.

Upon seeing this, his expression hardened, and he quickly formed hand seals to cast a spell, conjuring a shimmering water shield that firmly protected his body.

There is no turning back now.

He abandoned any hope of success, quickly pulled out a blue talisman, and slammed it against the hull of the boat.

"Phew~~"

A sudden, violent gust of wind surged forth, howling and filling the sails, propelling the fishing boat forward with a violent jerk, accelerating it toward the deserted island.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"

The next moment, a series of ear-piercing whistling sounds rang out!

Arrows rained down, piercing the water shield with a series of "plop" sounds!

The water shield trembled violently, spewing forth spiritual light, barely managing to block most of the arrows!

The remaining few leaped over the wall of water and landed on the fishing boat!

The plank was easily penetrated, and wood chips flew everywhere!

The sails were also torn in two places, and the night wind rushed through them, making a sharp, mournful sound!

Little Pear sensed something was wrong and meowed in fright. She hurriedly climbed up the robe and slipped into Jiang Yi's collar.

Only half of its hairy head was visible, its large eyes staring intently at the pursuing enemy, emitting a threatening howl.

the other side.

Wang Lin realized Jiang Yi's intention to go to the island, and his expression turned cold.

He clamped his legs together sharply, and the demonic shark swung its tail again, accelerating and stirring up a surging white wave.

At the same time, he gathered his magical power and no longer held back, continuously activating talismans and spells to bombard the enemy.

They attempted to destroy the fishing boats and cut off their livelihoods.

Jiang Yi's face was tense, and he gritted his teeth to hold on.

While unleashing the Xuan Shuttle to block the attack, they also activated the Water Shield Talisman to stabilize their defense.

However, relying solely on one's own strength is ultimately insufficient for comprehensive protection; one can only barely safeguard one's vital organs.

The fishing boat suffered extensive damage from the bombardment, with cracks spreading and several gaps appearing in the hull, allowing seawater to seep in continuously.

The situation is already precarious, and sinking is only a matter of time.

Fortunately, Jiang Yi reacted quickly and changed course the moment he sensed something was wrong.

They were now less than a hundred feet from the deserted island. Even if the ship capsized in an instant, it would be enough for him to cross the sea and land on the island.

Several more breaths passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Yi's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly activated the Xuan Shuttle, unleashing a burst of dark light that aimed straight for Wang Lin's face.

This forced the opponent to be distracted and dodge, temporarily halting their pursuit.

Taking advantage of this brief respite, he vigorously used his magic to row the boat, directly steer it onto the shallows, creating a screeching sound as it scraped against the sand and stones.

He immediately jumped off the boat, abandoned the ship, and went ashore, turning around to look at them with a cold, wary gaze.

His face was pale, and his breathing was slightly disordered.

He gripped a spirit stone with his left hand, quickly replenishing his mana, while the Xuan Shuttle circled around him.

On the sea.

With a cold face, Wang Lin leaped off the shark and stepped onto the shallows.

His gaze was sharp as a knife, fixed firmly on Jiang Yi, as he removed the ink bamboo from his shoulder.

Then, with a flick of the net, the clam shells, snake carcasses, and other creatures were scattered all over the ground.

As the magic power flowed in, the net shimmered with light, shrank to the size of a palm, and flew back into Wang Lin's palm.

At the same time, his Qi Refining Level 5 cultivation was revealed without reservation, and a sense of oppression swept over Jiang Yi.

Clearly, he hadn't even used any magical artifacts in order to carry the spoils, and had been holding back his strength throughout.

The deep darkness of night enveloped the deserted island.

The two figures faced each other from a distance, neither uttering another word.

The scene was cold and desolate, the air seemed to freeze, with only the incessant sound of waves crashing against the shore.

After a while.

Jiang Yi's eyes flashed, and he immediately unleashed his Xuan Shuttle, aiming straight for Wang Lin's vital points!

While the other party was distracted, he darted away and sped straight towards the dense forest on the island.

"Oh."

Wang Lin shook his head and chuckled, dodging the Xuan Shuttle.

He immediately grabbed a talisman, lightly tapped his feet with a spell, and swiftly chased after it towards the dense forest...
