Cultivation: I Forge Immortality with My Spiritual Eyes

Soon after.

Jiang Yi finished counting the spoils of war scattered all over the ground, keeping what he could and hiding what he could.

Little Pear licked the half-pot of soup clean, leaving only a few bits of residue at the bottom.

He was lying sprawled on the ground, staring blankly at his round belly.

It was so full that it could hardly turn over, and its silly, dazed look was quite amusing.

"Hehe, silly cat."

Jiang Yi shook his head and chuckled, then stepped forward, picked it up, stroked it, and tucked it back into his shirt.

I looked up at the sky.

He then shouldered the black jade bamboo, picked up the cloth bag full of sea clams, and strode out of the cave.

After a day and night of quiet meditation, his injuries had improved considerably, and his magical power was still quite abundant.

It's time to get going.

This island lacks inspiration and is not a place to stay for long.

The right thing to do is to repair the fishing boat and return to Qingluo Island as soon as possible.

Tonight there are no stars or moon, and the sky is as dark as ink.

The rain fell softly from the sky.

The sea was shrouded in mist, making everything appear hazy and indistinct.

A moment later, Jiang Yi arrived at the beach.

The fishing boats remain stranded and tilted on the beach.

After a night of wind and rain, it appeared even more dilapidated and decayed, with rainwater accumulating in the cracks.

Jiang Yi already had a plan in mind regarding the ship repair, so he didn't delay any longer.

He immediately used his magic to overturn the fishing boat, revealing its hull riddled with wounds.

He bent down and looked at it for a few moments, then placed the black jade bamboo and the cloth bag on a nearby rock, turned around and stepped into the dense forest not far away.

They quickly selected two giant trees with straight trunks and a trunk so thick that it would take two people to hug them, felled them, and dragged them back to the shore.

Then the branches were trimmed and the bark removed, and the wood was cut into pieces that fit the notch.

Soon after, they found a hard bluestone and rubbed it to make stone nails of uniform thickness.

Everything is ready.

Jiang Yi squatted by the side of the boat, tapping and banging to plug the leaks one by one.

After a flurry of activity...

The bottom of the boat was covered with patches, making it look like a bald head.

Moreover, the quality of these locally felled trees is far inferior to that of the sea mulberry wood used on the fishing boats themselves.

Sea mulberry wood is durable and will not rot or be infested by insects when soaked in seawater; it is also tough.

These miscellaneous trees, once they encounter storms at sea, will not last long before they loosen and crack.

But Jiang Yi didn't expect to solve the problem once and for all; he only hoped to hold on until he reached Qingluo Island.

He rested his chin on his hand, examined the fishing boat for a while, and felt that his skills were passable.

I estimate that sailing for a hundred or two hundred miles shouldn't cause any problems.

"good."

Jiang Yi nodded in satisfaction, used magic to right the fishing boat, and slowly pushed it into the shallow sea to test whether the hull would still leak water.

After a short while, like drinking a cup of tea.

Jiang Yi inspected the boat from all sides for a while, but there were no obvious signs of leaks at the bottom.

He breathed a sigh of relief and leaped back onto the shore.

We're going to use whatever materials we have on hand, and maybe even fix the sails while we're at it.

But after walking a short distance, he suddenly stopped, his gaze passing over the rain curtain, and he frowned as he looked at the sea.

A section of gray-black dorsal fin could be seen swimming rapidly in the sea.

They went around in circles, unwilling to leave.

"They still won't leave after all this time, they're like a persistent ghost..."

Jiang Yi murmured to himself, his expression slightly somber.

This first-tier demonic shark had been lingering near the shore; I had caught a glimpse of it from afar when we were repairing the boat earlier.

It stayed by its master's side for a whole day and night, which shows its deep affection for its master.

I just hope this beast won't target me.

Otherwise, given the current state of this wrecked ship, it would be quite troublesome.

Not long after.

The shark lingered in the vicinity for a moment before diving back into the deep sea and disappearing without a trace.

Jiang Yi withdrew his gaze, stopped thinking about it, and turned to disappear into the dense forest.

He found several resilient green vines, extracted their inner fibers, tanned them simply, made them into ropes, and then strung them with a stone needle.

He then returned to the beach, took down the tattered sail, and skillfully and deftly sewed up the holes in the sail with nimble fingers.

Soon, the patched sails were raised again.

Although it still leaks air a bit and is not as airtight as before, it is still usable.

Given the current situation, there's not much room for criticism.

The sky was still overcast.

The drizzle continued without stopping.

With no stars to indicate direction, the rain and fog further limited visibility.

This ship could no longer withstand the turmoil of the wind and waves.

Furthermore, a monstrous shark is lurking nearby, posing an unpredictable threat.

Taking all this into consideration, Jiang Yi pondered for a moment and decided to wait until dawn, when the rain stopped, and the view became clearer before setting sail.

He glanced around, found a place to shelter from the rain and sat down, then took out the wind-breaking cone and played with it.

With a thought, he slowly channeled his magical power, patiently washing away the marks left by the original owner time and time again.

This object is sharp and fierce, and its power is far superior to that of the Xuan Shuttle.

Judging from the opponent's words yesterday, it seems that the original owner of this body had some background, which is why he had the idea of ​​killing him to silence him.

You also need to be careful and not sell your wares indiscriminately in the market.

To avoid leaving any loose ends and inviting unwarranted disaster.

After much thought, I decided it would be better to keep it for my own use and not show it to others easily.

Once you refine it to the point where you can control the Ruyi, your combat power will definitely increase significantly.

A light drizzle fell, and the air was thick with moisture.

Jiang Yi remained seated, not moving an inch, focused solely on refining the magical artifact.

During this time, Xiao Li woke up from a nap, and energetically climbed out of her collar and went to play on the nearby beach.

"..."

Time passed slowly.

Before we knew it, the rain gradually stopped, and a sliver of dawn appeared on the eastern horizon.

As dawn broke through the clouds, it spilled across the vast sea, gilding the waves with a golden glow.

On a raised reef on the coast.

Jiang Yi stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the distant sea.

His tattered robes were battered and bruised by the sea wind, and his face showed signs of hardship.

He has been observing this place for a long time.

The sea was calm, and the monstrous shark was nowhere to be seen.

It is unclear whether it has completely disappeared into the sea or is still lurking in the shadows.

Regardless, the sky was bright, the view was expansive, and the sea breeze was calm and gentle.

Jiang Yi was unwilling to wait any longer and decided to return immediately.

"Xiao Li!"

He shouted, leaped off the rocks, and ran quickly toward the fishing boat.

"Meow~"

On the distant beach, Little Pear was playing with a sideways-moving crab, swatting and patting it from left and right, having a great time.

Hearing Jiang Yi's call, it turned its head and glanced at the crab, then immediately swatted the little crab away and dashed towards the fishing boat.

soon.

A small fishing boat covered in patches slowly raises its sails.

Carried away from the deserted island by the morning breeze, it gradually disappeared into the vast horizon...

"..."

Nearly an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

As dawn broke and the sun rose in the east, the sky brightened.

A gentle breeze caressed my face, carrying a salty warmth.

The Qingluo Island pier was bustling with activity.

Ships of all sizes came and went, just like always.

But seeing this familiar scene, Jiang Yi felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

This voyage was fraught with mishaps, and they were on the verge of life and death several times.

The slightest mistake could result in being devoured by fish or left to rot on a deserted island.

The shock and relief of surviving the ordeal truly welled up in my heart the moment I saw the bustling crowds at the dock.

He took a deep breath of the sea breeze, suppressed his distracting thoughts, and maneuvered the fishing boat left and right to avoid obstacles, quickly stopping at the berth at the edge of the dock.

After securing the rope, carrying the cloth bag and the black jade bamboo covered with vines, he hurriedly went ashore and headed to his lodging.

Now is the perfect time to set sail.

The dock was bustling with people, each busy with their own affairs, and no one was buying fish at this time.

natural.

No one noticed the ragged figure carrying the bamboo stick and hurrying away...
