......................
After ablution, Qing Shui would look into his spatial region. This was also the time where Qing Shui was the most relaxed, therefore he could calmly observe his possessions.
Peaches Immortal would mature and be roughly the size of a baby's head. The pink color is very pleasing to the eyes and emits a fragrant aroma that can cause people to salivate.
It could increase one's lifespan by 50 years and was even used as an alchemy component. It was a mysterious herb from this world of the nine continents!
With a smile on her face, Qing Shui considered the other herbs that she planted inside the spatial realm. One must know that/it was with just one peach immortal, Qing Shui had struck gold. The immortal peach itself was already a priceless thing, not to mention other herbs that were destroying the heavens and the fruits of various trees.
In the morning, Qing Shui woke up feeling extremely refreshed, admiring the current flow of qi within both his arms and legs. Although it was quite dangerous yesterday, he had at least managed to consult the Divine Clearing Arm Technique to the stage of great success and the Divine Clearing Leg Technique to the small success stage last night when he was in the spatial realm.
If these two techniques had reached the Great Perfection, or at least a great stage of success, Qing Shui was confident that/that he would not lose to the old man from yesterday.
Qing Shui couldn't wait for the day to come when he would never be defeated again. Strength was everything, and a thirst for power had branded itself in Qing Shui's heart. He did not want people who cared about him to constantly worry, and the only way to calm their minds was to become stronger, much stronger than what he was currently doing.
Suddenly, in the middle of his mind …
’’Daddy!’’ Little Yuchang ran towards him happily.
Qing Shui stepped forward and hugged her in a hug. How could Mingyue Gelou's child not be beautiful either? Qing Shui felt truly blessed to have both of them by his side.
He just hates the fact that/that he met the two of them too late. As the saying goes – love me, love my dog. It did not matter to him that/that little Yuchang was not his own blood and flesh. His love for her is real.
She could not help sighing, not knowing whether to thank her ex-husband or curse him. If his ex treated him a little better and spoiled little Yuchang even more, how could he have left him ?!
’’Dad taught me to hit bad guys, I want to hit bad guys!’
The little girl who was in Qing Shui's arms raised her head as she seriously spoke to Qing Shui.
He was almost 5 years old, and given the fact that/it was Mingyue Gelou was a cultivation genius, his daughter would definitely not be too weak either. Qing Shui used a bit of energy from the Ancient Strengthening Technique and examined his body.
A moment later, Qing Shui withdrew his energy. Although his energy channel was both supple and powerful, it was not at a level where it was innately connected. It seemed like this little girl did not inherit Mingyue Gelou's physique.
’’Come, dad will teach you some martial techniques!’ ’
The other members of the Qing Clan practiced their own martial arts. There were also some who argued with each other for the sake of faster improvement. Qing Shui bought little Yuchang to a place further away, without any sound from the training yard.
’’Lass, cultivation is very difficult, are you afraid?’ ‘Qing Shui know that/that he should use the concept’ never fear suffering ‘ke Yuchang when he was young. However, he understood the thoughts of the little boy as well. He knows that/that he cannot expect a five-year-old to really understand the concept.
” I'm not afraid, I want to help dad beat up the bad guys .. I want to beat the bad dad dad, I want daddy dad to apologize until dad is happy. .. ”
As the little boy muttered on and on, Qing Shui felt extremely grateful in his heart. The innocence of this beloved child has truly touched his heart.
Qing Shui thought the horse stood up for the first bit of Yuchang to solidify the basics!
The small frame of the little Yuchang, could not even do the horse properly, yet his determination caused Qing Shui to be taken back. This little girl was actually very persistent, never giving up even though she was exhausted.
Seeing how he gritted his teeth again and again, Qing Shui felt warmth as well as pain in his heart. But he didn't say anything. He knew that/that if he really wanted to cultivate, this bit of fatigue was nothing. He was proud of his daughter's perseverance!
Finally, Yuchang's little legs trembled and he involuntarily fell down. Qing Shui moved quickly to catch her, smiling sweetly at her.
’’Rest lover, one should not rush when it comes to cultivation. Just do this every morning to the point where you can no longer stand. You will find that/that the time you can endure will become longer and longer. ’
Mingyue Gelou, who was standing from afar, had a loving smile on his face. It was the warmth of the family he had always wanted.
Afterwards, Qing Shui trained his Taichi fist and taught the concept to little Yuchang. Smirking at his efforts, he slowly corrected it while reminding that/it Taichi was focused on essence, and not form.
…..
After lunch, Qing Shui decided to take a walk to relieve the monotony of training.
The streets of Hundred Milli City were as crowded as ever. Many familiar faces greeted Qing Shui. He was already something like a legend to the residents of Hundred Miles City.
Unknowingly, his feet carried him to a familiar place as he walked.
The Golden Mountain Stream!
Qing Shui had come to this place before to catch a black fish, and he still remembered Ni`er, the little girl from the past. She wondered if she and her grandmother were okay, as she had not seen him for several years.
Following the small current, he continued walking forward, wading through the water that became deeper and further he continued ..
Qing Shui knew that/that the entrance to the Ten Thousand Turtle Swamp was at the end of the river. The flow eventually led him into the mountain tunnel. At this moment, Qing Shui decided to enter the tunnel, following the current through the corridor.
He knew that his/her Ten Thousand Turtle Swamp was a forbidden land for them in the Hundred Miles City. Here, the corpses of many peak Houtian experts were lying around like sand in the desert. Even Xiantian cultivators were unable to guarantee their survival. Therefore, not many people dared to venture here.
The corridor leading inward is very narrow when the flow in the middle extends to the size of a small river. Qing Shui waded through the water, stepping forward.
With his spiritual sense spread out, Qing Shui was able to escape as he sensed danger, or even immediately enter the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. It was only because he possessed a spatial realm that he dared to strive for here.
’’Clap!’ ’
The sound of something breaking the water surface was heard coming out.
Qing Shui quickly stepped back, his hand grabbing the thing that flew out.
’’ Pa! ’’
’’Chichi ..’ ’
Qing Shui studied the things he took. It was a long, black spearfish. The fish was named so because its forehead protruded like a spear and the fish had a mouth filled with many evil teeth. It looked so fierce.
’’ ... ’’He threw it into the water again.
Advancing about ten meters further forward, he suffered more than ten silent attacks. Before him, a three meter long crocodile beast appeared, growling furiously at him.
’’...’ ‘Qing Shui hit him and quickly picked up his tail, throwing it behind him while the crocodile was in a stunned state.
As he advanced forward again, Qing Shui realized after a while that/it was the inside of the cave gradually becoming brighter. He reached the end of the corridor. And ... he finally saw a large body of murky water at the end of the road.
Ten Thousand Turtle Swamp!
The Ten Thousand Turtle Swamp was surrounded by sheer cliffs from all four sides. The water was extremely murky and Qing Shui couldn't see anything, even with his improved eyesight.
There were countless turtles in the water from what the eyes could see, no wonder this place was named the Ten Thousand Turtle Swamp. However, what was important was not the turtle, but rather, what was hidden in the depths of this swamp.
No one knows exactly what secret this swamp is hiding. They just know that/that this place is very dangerous. Not many people who were like Qing Shui, were able to survive by wading through the golden waters of the corridor before.
Qing Shui walked to the marsh beach, silently pondering over it. He could feel an extremely terrifying death qi emanating from the swamp. He feels very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Qing Shui was captured by a sudden thought as he entered his spatial realm.
Pure Gold Fishing Rod!
Since it was not safe to enter the waters, he might as well test his luck and try fishing here.
After exiting his spatial realm, Qing Shui found a piece of flatter stone and started fishing. Although there was no bait or anything heavy attached to the rod, its hook still began to sink into the water of its own accord.
It's a magic fishing rod!
Qing Shui did not dare to slack off as he kept his spiritual sense extended along the way, surveying for possible danger.
Being a blacksmith had trained his patience. Qing Shui did not mind waiting as long as there was no danger.
…………
…………
After a while had passed, he finally felt something stuck to the pure gold fishing hook.
Perhaps, he had fished a mystical beast. It could even be a heavenly treasure or a rare aquatic material!
Just as he was lost in his fantasy, the expression on his face suddenly faltered.
His spiritual instinct told him that/that the thing he caught was not a living thing, but an embroidered pouch instead!
Embroidered bags?
Why was that the thing he was fishing for a pouch?
Qing Shui could only use his spiritual senses to obtain a reading. Properly, this forbidden place should not be frequented by many people. Could this bag be gone for a very long time?
Was an expert stuck here before? Being ambushed by his enemies or a thief being chased by many others before having no choice but to throw loot in them?
Too much what if, Qing Shui decided to stop thinking about it. In any case, the things that were captured by those pure gold fishing rods, they couldn't possibly be that bad?
He directly rolled the stick back before exclaiming in shock.
’’ Huh? Why does it look new? Did someone just lose this a few days ago? ’
Qing Shui heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that/that the pouch was still sealed.
His eyes shone as he held the pouch. He could feel an incredible spiritual qi coming from within the pouch. The quality and quantity of this spiritual qi was even higher than White Tiger Stones.
Also, the pouch looked brand new, made from the skin of a demonic beast. Although Qing Shui didn't know how powerful the beast was, he could sense with certainty that/it skin didn't come from a Xiantian demonic beast or a Martial King.
’’If that's the case, can this be made from animal skins that are at least at the Martial Saint level?’
