Chapter 106: Journey South (Part 1)
Lu Heng was not aware of the worries of the human-faced owl.
Now, he was sorting out the two chaotic auras in the body of the little Gu Diao.
After he tried it himself and failed once, he confirmed that he could not suppress the fusion of the two forces at the same time, and could only barely separate them.
The little Gu Diao probably could not enjoy the benefits of the three-in-one and rapid cultivation speed like Xiao Ai.
But separating the two chaotic auras could also relieve the disease that was constantly being destroyed in the body of the little Gu Diao, allowing it to start practicing.
After injecting a wisp of heavenly thunder power into the body of the little Gu Diao, and using the power of heavenly thunder to forcibly separate the two forces, Lu Heng began to teach the little guy to practice.
The cultivation methods of monsters are basically the same, and there is no difference in the level of skills.
Human cultivation is different. The cultivation methods of human cultivation are very different, and the speed of their cultivation is also different, but they are basically faster than monster cultivation.
Of course, human cultivation also has shortcomings. The biggest shortcoming is that the life span is extremely short. Only by constantly breaking through to higher realms can the life span be continuously increased.
If you are stuck in a realm and cannot break through, you can only sit and die helplessly after the life span is exhausted.
The cultivation speed of demon cultivators is very slow, which is completely a slow process, but the advantage is that the life span is extremely long. Normally, as long as you set foot in cultivation, the life span of demon cultivators can at least reach a thousand years.
During this thousand years, as long as you don’t encounter disasters or chaos, and practice carefully to survive, practicing for a thousand years can almost be regarded as a demon hero.
Although the higher realms also rely on talent, understanding, and opportunity, it is already a good thing that most human cultivators can easily have a thousand years of life span.
According to Lu Heng’s understanding, human cultivators are like those salesmen in the previous life. The higher the performance, the higher the salary, which is extremely challenging to personal ability. People with outstanding talents can soar to the sky in a short time.
The demon cultivators have a stable job with average salary and benefits, but they are stable. They have to work hard for a certain number of years and achieve something.
Lu Heng is not good at judging which one is better, and there is no need to judge.
After all, his cultivation method is different from that of human and demon cultivators, and the common sense of the cultivation world does not work for him.
After retracting his right hand and seeing that the little Gu Diao has started to practice, Lu Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In this way, it is worthy of the trust of the Goddess Jiang."
In front of him, the little Gu Diao huddled into a ball, slowly inhaling and exhaling the spiritual energy in the air.
Although its cultivation speed is much faster than Lu Heng, even Xiao Ai is much faster than it, but although the speed is not fast, it is an excellent start.
In the future, when Lu Heng's cultivation is further improved, he may be able to completely cure the illness in the little Gu Diao's body, so that the disordered breath in his body can merge into a ball, like Xiao Ai's three-element integration, and its cultivation speed will surely advance by leaps and bounds.
But now, Lu Heng can only use a little thunder power to stabilize his body, and he needs to inject new thunder power every once in a while to avoid it being exhausted.
Because Lu Heng's current method of treating the little Gu Diao is different from that of treating Xiao Ai.
What Lu Heng injected into Xiao Ai when treating Xiao Ai was his foundation of enlightenment, which can be retained forever, similar to the experience level when playing games in the previous life.
Now, the body of the little Gu Diao is just a wisp of thunder separated by Lu Heng, similar to mana, which is a consumable and needs to be replenished from time to time.
And this is why Lu Heng wants to bring the little Gu Diao with him.
On the side, Huo Feng saw that Lu Heng had finished, so he smiled and said, "Lord Wolf God, look at the back of our boat. From just now, there has been a group of fish following us, and they seem to be eager to fly into the pot and be cooked."
"Oh? There is such a thing?" Lu Heng walked to the stern curiously, and sure enough, he saw a group of fish floating in the river in the water behind the boat, always following the boat going downstream.
Moreover, the types of fish in this school are not the same, and there are many varieties. Catfish, carp, grass carp, perch... fresh fish of different sizes, I am afraid that the fishmongers in the market should have all the varieties.
In Lu Heng's field of vision, the fish in the water were all scrambling to swim and squeeze in the water, afraid of being thrown away by the boat, which made Lu Heng a little funny.
Obviously, these fish were driven by the river god using the power of the water god.
Now Huo Feng, who was sitting at the stern of the boat, only needed to reach out and scoop in the water to catch a fresh and plump live fish.
Looking at this scene, Lu Heng smiled and said, "It seems that we can have fish soup tonight."
I wanted to fish for dinner last night, but I caught a Gu Diao. Tonight, I can finally taste the taste of the fish in the river.
At this time, there were few sails on the river, and large ships passed by Lu Heng from time to time.
Although the water transport on this Pangjiang River is not as prosperous as those in the big rivers in Lu Heng's previous life, in this world where monsters are rampant, such a level of water transport can be considered lively.
All the passing ships, regardless of size, were surprised to find the peculiarity of Lu Heng's boat.
This small cruise ship is not big and its appearance is also rough, but there are dense schools of fish following the stern. The appearance of the school of fish surging and following makes passers-by marvel.
But apart from that, no one came to make trouble.
When you go out, it is better to have less trouble than more. After seeing the strangeness of this small boat, the passing ships, in addition to a few surprised conversations, all ordered the boatman to steer the boat and stay away from this small boat.
This small boat looks like this, there must be extraordinary people on it, and it should not be provoked casually.
Travelers who travel abroad are always reluctant to cause trouble.
After nightfall, Huo Feng rowed the boat away from the turbulent Pangjiang River and sailed into a tributary of the Pangjiang River system.
The water in the tributary was slightly calm, the river was not wide, and the water depth was only a little over ten feet.
Huo Feng took out the bamboo basket that served as an anchor, filled it with stones, and sank the bamboo basket to the bottom of the river to fix the boat to prevent it from drifting away.
Then, he took out the charcoal and iron pot in the cabin and started to make a fire and cook fish.
After the boat entered this tributary, all the fish that followed it during the day followed.
Huo Feng walked to the stern, squatted on the deck and carefully selected for a while, and finally chose a fat and tender crucian carp, took it to the deck, gutted it, removed the internal organs, and removed the blood, and then threw the fresh river fish into the pot.
Soon, the fish soup gradually became thicker and whiter, and the fragrance also wafted.
Lu Heng, Xiao Ai, and Huo Feng all sat on the deck, looking forward to the fresh fish soup.
This was the first cooked food that Lu Heng had eaten since he crossed over to this world, so he was quite looking forward to it.
However, the little Gu Diao was not very interested in it. It flapped its wings and flew directly to the stern of the boat, then landed on the deck with a perch in its mouth, and continued to peck at the perch with its beak again and again, making a muffled sound of "tap, tap, tap".
The dark sky enveloped the earth.
The fire of the small boat in the river was faintly lit in the darkness, and laughter was heard from time to time, and the atmosphere was harmonious and cheerful.
