AST 1143 – Longevity Fish, Infatuated Fish, Infatuated People, Divine Weapon Street

It might not have been that long, Qing Shui’s Tidal Cloud Waves Seal had already gone through tremendous changes . Now, it could already be considered to have reached an advanced stage .

Qing Shui only came to a stop after he could no longer perceive the mysterious sensation . He was aware that without the earlier sensation, his cultivation would slow down immediately . This was one of the important factors of cultivating, the sensation of comprehension!

It had always been emphasized that cultivation was 99% hard work and effort, while the other 1% was from comprehension . That 1% from comprehension was something that a martial artist could not cultivate without . It was said to be more important than the 99% of hard work and effort spent on cultivating . Just like what happened today, one morning of comprehension was equivalent to at least ten years of hard work spent cultivating .

The surroundings became really quiet . While reflected on the scene from back then, Qing Shui took out his Pure Gold Fishing Rod to once again relieve his boredom . By doing so, he would be able to calm his mind even further .

Fishing could help practice one’s patience and temperament . The reason being that such activity required a calm mind . At the moment when the fishing float once again moved up and down on the surface of the sea, he immediately pulled it up .

After that, Qing Shui was stunned .

It was a silvery green colored fish . This fish looked really weird . Physically, its look resembled that of a carp fish . However, its head was bigger . The most unique feature about this fish was that it had a mustache which looked just like that of a flood dragon . With all this, it looked particularly weird . Nevertheless, Qing Shui felt incomparably happy .

Longevity Fish!

Longevity Fish was a unique aquatic species . It was not in the slightest inferior to the Golden Medicinal Turtle in Qing Shui’s Realm of Violet Jade Immortal . However, the Longevity Fish was a single-use consumable type ingredient . Its body contained a mysterious energy that could help with recovery and curing diseases . The most important use of it was that by consuming one Longevity Fish, one would be able to increase their lifespan by ten years . Each individual could only consume a maximum of ten Longevity Fish within their lifetime .

The Longevity Fish wasn’t large in size . It was less than a foot long, yet they were still capable of surviving within the ocean safely without being threatened by other species . This species itself also had a particularly long life . It’s said that they could live up to a thousand years and that the longer they lived, the more precious they would become . They could also be used to make medicine .

Qing Shui joyfully threw it into the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal . He thought to himself that today was quite a rewarding day . It would have been much better if he could catch a few more of them . If this happened, he would be able to make them reproduce within the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal .

Qing Shui continued to fantasize while fishing at the same time . He was really confident with himself to the point that he didn’t really care if he got something good or not . It was just like when a person was no longer hungry, they would start to get a bit slower in consuming their food . Nor would they feel really eager to eat their meal even if their meal had been really delicious .

It was not that Qing Shui didn’t want good stuff, he was just aware that it was not that easy to capture good things . He was already considered to be really lucky to be able to capture one of them .

Right at this moment, Qing Shui lifted up his head and saw both Yu Ruyan and Tantai Xuan approaching him in a rush .

“Now then, you don’t have to worry anymore, do you? I knew it, you wouldn’t want to leave without seeing Sister Ruyan for the last time . Do you really have that little faith in me?” Tantai Xuan asked calmly .

“No, it’s because I felt that this place was quite a nice place . That’s why I decided to do some fishing here . I am so happy that I just managed to capture a Longevity Fish just now! The Southern Sea indeed has a lot of good stuff!”

“Continue bluffing!” Tantai Xuan looked at Qing Shui without any traces of a smile .

“Look, another one just took the bait! There you go, another Longevity Fish . ” Qing Shui smiled and pulled up the rod .

This time, everyone got startled!

It was another Longevity Fish!

Qing Shui looked at the struggling Longevity Fish before moving on to look at the two surprised ladies . After a while Tantai Xuan responded, “Previously, did you really capture a Longevity Fish?”

“Yeah!” Qing Shui answered seriously .

“Well, then it isn’t weird . This time, this fish took the bait on purpose . Longevity Fish often appear in pairs . If you’re really able to capture one, the other one would let itself be captured on purpose . If only one of them got captured, it wouldn’t be able to live for more than three days . The Longevity Fish is also known as the Infatuated Fish,” Tantai Xuan explained slowly . Her voice sounded really pleasant to hear . Except it made people a bit lost in terms of what she was thinking .

Qing Shui too didn’t know that things would turn out this way . Previously, he was still upset for only getting one Longevity Fish . Everything was fine now, for all he knew, he might really be able to raise a whole school of Longevity Fish .

Tantai Xuan was a bit stunned, the reason being that she knew quite a lot about the Longevity Fish . Apparently, only those who’re infatuated in love would be able to capture Longevity Fish . Longevity Fish possessed really strong spirituality . It had already been made pretty obvious with the fact that they were able to survive in the dangerous ocean without any battle capabilities .

Tantai Xuan found it really hard to consider this man an infatuated person . He had quite a few wives . If someone was really infatuated with love, how would they have more than one wife .

Qing Shui threw the other Longevity Fish into the pond in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal . This time, he finally managed to find peace in his mind . He looked at the two girls, “You guys can head back now, I’m about to leave . ”

Qing Shui stepped forward and embraced Yu Ruyan before he began madly nibbled on her . Tantai Xuan, who was standing at the side, wanted to give him a beating . This man was so unbridled .

Her heart had never been so confused . No man had ever done this in front of her……

Actually, most of the time, men would often be pretentious when they were in front of women . Or maybe, it was safer to say that they would try harder to make themselves look better, particularly when they were in front of the girls they liked . If they didn’t like a girl, they would act more naturally .

Little did they know that the more they tried to pretend, the more unpleasant they would make people around them feel . A lot of people also knew that this had to do with something called k“Rejecting what was near to them and seeking those that were far away . ” Despite this, it’s hard for them to control themselves . It’s only when one stopped having any extra thoughts towards a woman that they would begin to act more naturally or maybe, even go as far as to ignore the woman .

This was exactly how Tantai Xuan as feeling now . This man had already repeatedly ignored her a number of times . Even though she hadn’t really had much interaction with men, she still knew about them generally . Also, she could tell a thing or two about it from his expressions .

When Yu Ruyan got nibbled by Qing Shui, she blushed and pushed Qing Shui away . She glared at Qing Shui with a bitter face and after that moved on to look at the unnatural Tantai Xuan . She felt so ashamed that she was almost unable to show her face .

Qing Shui left!

Both Tantai Xuan and Yu Ruyan were still standing there . Yu Ruyan looked at Tantai Xuan with an embarrassed look . Nevertheless, Tantai Xuan held Yu Ruyan’s hand and smiled, “You will definitely be happy with him . ”

“Hm, Sister Xuan, why are you siding with him this time?” Yu Ruyan was really shocked . Even though Qing Shui didn’t directly offend Tantai Xuan this should have definitely upset her .

“Longevity Fish is also known as the Infatuated Fish . Only people infatuated with love are able to capture it . Only those who have unyielding love are able to capture it . When someone like this dedicates their feelings to a person, they will never change them . This will never change . ” Tantai Xuan smiled as she explained .

“Sister Xuan, tell me, how many girls can this infatuated person dedicate his infatuated love to?” Yu Ruyan looked at Tantai Xuan confused .

“I don’t know . You should have experienced this before . Alright, let’s stop talking about this, in any case, you two are already in such a relationship . Sister Ruyan, you will definitely be happy in the future . Even my master has a really good impression of him .
……

Qing Shui headed back with his Nine Continents Steps . Actually, he felt really happy, if he wanted to meet Yu Ruyan, he could just go back and forth between the two places in a day . Before his Nine Continent Steps got upgraded, it would require him a number of days to go there . But now, he could go back and forth almost instantaneously by utilizing Nine Continents Steps .

By the time he arrived at the courtyard, it was only the middle of the afternoon . This was good because this meant that he was alone in Yan City . He wouldn’t go as far as calling himself lonely, what kind of loneliness had he not experienced before?

Now, the only thing he wanted to do was to increase his strength and become a State Master as soon as possible .

The thing he wanted to do now was to be the State Master of Great Yu Dynasty, the peak Grade Two Dynasty State Master as soon as possible . Then, he wanted use the strength of Dynasty to look for Di Chen . If not, he felt that any hope of him finding Di Chen would be very slim .

He walked out of the house . In front of the house was already a luxurious street . On both sides of the continents, there were a lot of luxurious streets . Within them, all sorts of people would move back and forth along the streets doing their own important things .

Previously, he rejected Formation Immortal Sect’s kindness . The reason being that even though it was a huge sect, he felt that it had already begun to crumble . Most importantly, Qiu Feng was the weakest among the Formation Immortal Sect . He was reluctant to get himself involved in the battle between sects .

Qing Shui thought about things to do while walking along the street . After all, he already had more than enough time to cultivate in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal . Hence, he made up his mind to do something in Yan City . It would be best if he could attract people’s attention with his strength and befriend them . Most importantly, the things that he did must be able to benefit himself . For example, with a wider network, he would be able to find Di Chen . Or maybe, it could also help him in improving his strength .

At the moment, he already had quite a few things that he could present to the world . Qing Shui continued to walk while thinking and eventually found himself along a luxurious street .

Divine Weapon Street!

When Qing Shui saw the name of the street, he felt really weird . Only after walking in did he find out that there were a lot of blacksmith shops along the street . Nevertheless, it was not that each and every one of the buildings were all blacksmith shops . Among them, there were still others such as restaurants . Basically, in every one hundred meters, there would be a huge hall for forging metals . They gave off really powerful auras, with just one glance, one could already tell that those were high grade weapons and armor . Compared to the Firecloud Blacksmith Store, these stores were a lot bigger .

For Sale!

Not long after Qing Shui entered the street, he saw a sign with the words For Sale on it . He entered the store and saw that it was a smaller Blacksmith Store . Nevertheless, it was still a lot bigger than the Firecloud Blacksmith Store in Hundred Miles City . It was just that it was one of the smallest here .

Divine Weapon Street was really wide . People walking along the street were basically warriors . Qing Shui could even sense powerful warriors here with his Spiritual Sense .

There were people here who forged weapons and armor as well as accessories . Of course, some forged all of those . The street was a well known street in Yan City . Qing Shui intentionally made note of the Divine Weapon Street on the map of the Great Yu Dynasty .

It was said that many years ago, this street had once forged a lot of divine weapons and armor . It was also since that time that this street started to be known as the Divine Weapon Street . This was a kind of glory . However, as time passed, production of divine quality items started to decline, leaving behind only the name of the street .

After all, divine weapons were still legendary weapons . Even during that time, not many of them actually appeared . Forging divine weapons seemed to also require a lot of luck . Nowadays, it was very rare to hear people forging divine weapons or armor . Nevertheless, the weapons and armor forged here were still quite outstanding . A lot of people would forge their weapons here .

Suddenly, it hit him that he could open up a smith shop here . Whenever he was free, he could practice his forging skills or do something else like carving seals . Besides that, he could also get a better understanding of the incidents revolving around the Great Yu Dynasty . For he knew, one day, he might hear news of Di Chen .

As Qing Shui thought about this, he walked towards the store which was for sale . It was in a decent location . It was just a bit small . The front part of the store was a forging hall . From Qing Shui’s perspective, it was already considered quite large . It was just that when compared to those he had seen before, it looked a bit run down .

Qing Shui took a step into the blacksmith shop . There were very few people here . The weapons in here also weren’t really that eye-catching . An old man could be seen beating something inside and the heavy hammering noises could be constantly heard .
