Chapter 208 Planting Again

Obviously, this place is already in the center of the lake, and there are strange fish in the water, which is not suitable for small boats to pass through.

This time, he was wearing clothes and had no relevant memories, so Xu Yang was not clear about many things.

Although he had made observations when he came, it was normal for a few large ships to dock at such a large lake formed by the confluence of five lakes. As long as there was no blockade, no one would care, not to mention that there were also small boats around these large ships.

Are they fishing for this strange fish?

Then his luck is really good.

Xu Yang smiled, rowed with both hands, and rowed the boat vigorously.

Although this clone did not have the skill characteristics of "rowing a boat", after fishing in Dongting Lake for decades, rowing a boat has become a physical instinct, plus the current third-level cultivation of Qi training...

This boat can be said to be an arrow from a string, advancing by leaps and bounds.

The people behind rowed desperately, but still couldn't catch up, and could only watch him go farther and farther.

"No one can fly here, and they can't even walk on water with Qinggong?"

"Although there is Yuanling Demon Qi in this world, the number and popularity of cultivators..."

Seeing that no one is chasing him, Xu Yang, who escaped easily, found another problem.

This world is rich in Yuanling. Not to mention the world of Taoism at the end of the world, it is much richer than the Void Spirit Cave Heaven.

With abundant Yuanling, there should be many cultivators, but now all we see are mortals, not to mention extraordinary cultivators, there are no ordinary warriors.

Why is this so?

Xu Yang thought about it and only found one crux.

Demon Qi!

Demon Qi restricts the cultivators in this world.

But isn't this a world of demons?

Demon Qi should make demon cultivators, why...

Xu Yang sailed the boat into a reed marsh, and then turned back to check the situation of the strange fish.

"The scales are hard, the flesh is thick, it is already a Yuanling beast, and it has been eroded by the devil's energy, comparable to the internal force warrior."

Xu Yang squatted down and looked at the fish corpse: "The Yuanling and the devil's energy are hard to separate. When the Yuanling enters the body, the devil's energy will invade. If the cultivators in this world cannot solve this problem, then the higher the cultivation, the heavier the devil's nature, and they will eventually become demons."

"Not only cultivators, but all living beings are the same. This demon fish is an example!"

"So, what's going on in this world?"

"The higher the cultivation, the heavier the devil's nature. Logically speaking, the top leaders have long been controlled by demons. Even if there are still living people under their rule, they should be kept in captivity. Why is the country in this form? Could it be...?"

Xu Yang frowned and pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

Insufficient information, it's useless to think more, so just look at the present.

Xu Yang got into the cabin, found a sharp knife for killing fish, and began to deal with this weird black fish.

The scales of the black fish are like armor and very hard. It is impossible to scrape them off with this ordinary sharp knife, so Xu Yang directly used his magic power to cut the fish, peeling off the scales of the black fish with the skin, and also took off a lot of snow-white and translucent fish meat.

Xu Yang didn't mind the blood, cut off a thin piece of fish fillet, put it into his mouth and chewed it.

"The meat is sweet, the blood is rich, and there is a little spiritual energy."

"Well... the content of magic energy is much less than that of directly absorbing the Yuanling of heaven and earth. Is this the result of the neutralization and digestion of the living creature itself?"

"In other words, by eating living creatures, the magic energy and spiritual energy absorbed will be reduced and increased to a certain extent, just like refining medicine, the positive effect is improved, and the negative effect is reduced."

"Living creatures are like this, then..."

Xu Yang looked at the fish meat in his hand and the black fish that he had dismembered, shook his head, and set up the pot.

Soon, smoke rose, and wisps of fragrance drifted.

Although he had no memories, looking at the appearance of the brother and sister before, and the belongings on the black-sailed boat, Xu Yang could still be sure that the fishermen in this world still lived in great hardship.

In the Yuanling era, the products were abundant. Not to mention that everyone was like a dragon, but the country was peaceful and the people were safe.

But in a world ruled by humanity, many things were unreasonable.

Not to mention the influence of demonic energy.

For example, in Wuze Lake, strange fish were rampant in the deep water area. Ordinary fishermen did not dare to go deep into the center of the lake. They could only catch small fish and shrimps on the shore or in shallow water. The competition was very fierce, and there were fishing gangs and the court officials who were squeezing them... How could it be difficult?

No wonder it is said that there are three kinds of suffering since ancient times: rowing boats, forging iron, and selling tofu.

The life of fishermen is worse than that of farmers. They are really exposed to the wind and the sun, and they are in danger from day to day.

At the beginning of the journey, when the mystery of the womb was not solved, Xu Yang lived such a life.

Later, when the memory was restored, the attribute panel was opened, and the skills were gradually practiced, it was considered a little better.

But it was not much better. Without enough time to accumulate, it was difficult to reverse the skill characteristics.

Fortunately, those days have passed.

Now, even without skill characteristics, he can step to the top step by step.

Soon, the soup boiled and the fish meat turned white.

There were no seasonings on the black-sailed boat. The small can of coarse salt was returned to someone else yesterday.

But this did not bother Xu Yang. He just waved his sleeves and urged his magic power. The blood water accumulated on the ground became bright and quickly condensed into snow-white crystals. It was refined salt in his hands.

Salt-making technique?

There is indeed such a Taoist method. After all, salt was an important material in ancient times.

But what he used now was not the salt-making technique, but the pride of the Wandao Academy - the method of natural creation.

Natural creation, all things are materials, is a mysterious combination of arrays, talismans, and other methods.

With this method, analyzing materials is as simple as it can be.

He didn't even need this method. With his attainments as a third-level alchemist and a fourth-level weapon refiner, he could extract the desired materials from various things with just a little mana.

A handful of refined salt, refined from blood, but without the slightest fishy smell, sprinkled into the pot, only to smell the fragrance.

Seeing this, Xu Yang didn't look for any bowls and chopsticks. He casually broke two reeds and sat by the stove to eat.

The fish meat was white and fragrant. Not only was it extremely sweet when made into sashimi, but it was even more delicious after being boiled.

If it wasn't contaminated by demonic energy, it would definitely be a top-quality ingredient.

Even if it was contaminated by demonic energy, it would still be a top-quality ingredient, otherwise why would anyone fish so hard?

Soon, a black fish, a hundred kilograms of fish meat, and a pot of fish soup were all in Xu Yang's stomach.

Even the fish bones were chewed up, and the bone marrow and soup were sucked out. There were only a few fish bones, which were really unpalatable, so they were discarded as kitchen waste.

Although this clone has not yet mastered the "eating" skill, the blood of this demon fish is strong, and there is also a hidden Yuan Ling. After entering the stomach for only a moment, a warm current rises and spreads to the limbs and bones.

Xu Yang will naturally not waste it. He immediately sits up, five hearts facing the Yuan, and continues to practice the "Five Spirits and Five Elements True Secret"

"Hoo!"

The breeze blows, and the reeds sway.

The waves hit the hull, causing the black sail boat to shake constantly.

Xu Yang sits upright, but he is as steady as Mount Tai. The Yuan Ling Qi surges and faintly forms a vortex.

In this way, the sun gradually sets.

The setting sun is like blood, and finally sets in the west.

That night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the stars are hidden in the clouds.

It is gloomy and dark, and it is thick and cannot be dispersed.

In the cabin, Xu Yang opened his eyes, and the dark room was illuminated, and it suddenly became bright.

"The fourth level of Qi Refining, another level has been broken."

"The refining of demonic energy is not bad."

"But if you want to last long, the strength of the physical body must be improved."

"The thunder driving and lightning power, the thunder body tempering method, must be practiced as soon as possible. I wonder if there are electric eels in this Wuze Lake?"

"In addition, the Five Spirits and Five Elements Secret Art can form a five-spirit combat body, which is also a method of physical training."

"We must try to gather all the five-element spiritual objects..."

While thinking, Xu Yang lowered his eyes and took out the black scales left by the demon fish.

"This thing belongs to water. Although the quality is too low to be of great use, if there are enough of them, and a portion of water essence is extracted from each portion, it can be refined into a treasure like the Three Mountains and Five Peaks Seal, then it can barely be considered a five-element spiritual object."

"Since we have water, earth is not difficult to make. There are abundant Yuanling in this world, and the Wuze Lake is so vast. There must be water veins and earth spirits in the lake. Extract some and condense them into treasures, which are enough for practicing Qi training and building foundation."

"The five-element true secret currently only has the golden elixir. Even if I and the Wandao Academy deduce it, we can only deduce the Yuanying at most. I wonder if there is a righteous way to eliminate demons in this world and become a god?"

"There are also gold, fire, and wood spiritual objects. You can consider planting wood by yourself, but gold and fire... that's it. Let's find an island and take root first."

After thinking about it, Xu Yang had no clue. He simply got up and drove the boat out of the reed marsh, preparing to find a remote and uninhabited deserted island as a base to take root.

Wuze Lake, as the name implies, is a lake formed by five connected waters, covering a vast area and connected in all directions.

As such, there are naturally many islands in the lake. Some large islands are even occupied by water bandits, forming water strongholds and gathering in rivers, which is a headache for the government.

Although Xu Yang is not a local and is not aware of this situation, it does not prevent him from finding a place suitable for him.

The island is not big, but it is magical if there is a way!

This time, he deliberately avoided the central area and came to a place with fewer fish, and chose a deserted island.

The deserted island is not big, but very low. When the water rises during the flood season, it may even be submerged, so few people come here to stop the boat.

Now it is late autumn, and the flood season has passed, so there is no need to worry about being flooded. Xu Yang parked the boat on the shore, boarded the island, and nodded with satisfaction after a tour.

As a land god, he saw at a glance that there was an underground water vein under the island, and the water flow was very special. Most of the fish only entered here, not here, so there were few fish.

There are few fish, so there are few people. Except for the poor fishermen who are fighting for the fish, few fishermen come here to fish.

Not only are there few people, but the spiritual energy is also abundant. Although it is not a spiritual vein, it is obviously stronger than other places. As long as he arranges a few layers of spiritual gathering formations, it will be enough for him to practice to the perfection of foundation building.

In addition, the abundant spiritual energy is also very helpful for farming and breeding.

"I have to take time to go to the market and buy some seeds to plant."

"Bringing cannot be left behind. I just don't know if I can still raise good monsters under the pollution of demonic energy?"

Xu Yang looked into the future, then returned to the boat, summoned the evil ghost in the Yintan, and let it take him to the fish market pier with its memory before death.
