"Nonsense, this is Chang'an City. Which ignorant monster dares to come here to cause trouble?" The captain of the boat glared at the burly fisherman and snorted.
"Then what's going on?" The sturdy fisherman asked again after he calmed down a little.
"Looking at the situation, there must have been a master casting a spell underwater just now." The captain took a deep puff of his pipe and spoke slowly between puffs of smoke.
"Master Immortal! Is he still here? Let's go and pay him a visit. Maybe we can ask for some elixir that can prolong our lives." The tall fisherman's eyes lit up and he looked around the boat.
Other fishermen did the same thing.
Although there are many cultivators in Chang'an City, only some upper-class people can come into contact with them. They are all poor people and still have great admiration for cultivators.
"Stop messing around and start the boat!" The captain glared at the tall fisherman sternly and ordered him to start the boat in a deep voice.
The tall fisherman was silent and kept his mouth shut.
No one else dared to say anything. They slowly started the fishing boat and moved forward several miles before the captain ordered them to stop.
"Boss, why don't you let me call out to that immortal master?" the tall fisherman said somewhat dissatisfied.
Others were equally confused.
"Do you guys think that the Immortal Master is a kind-hearted person who is willing to give charity?" the captain snorted coldly.
"Isn't it?" said the tall fisherman.
"You guys know too little about the Immortal Master. As far as I know, Immortal Masters are divided into good and evil. Those righteous Immortal Masters are really good to us common people, but those evil Immortal Masters kill without blinking an eye. They are scarier than robbers and monsters. I don't know whether the Immortal Master under the water just now is righteous or evil. If you just approach him, you might as well die without knowing how you died." The captain of the ship snorted coldly.
When the fishermen heard this, they were shocked, but also their eyes were opened.
…
More than ten feet underwater in the whirlpool area, a figure was sitting cross-legged there. It was Shen Luo.
He clasped his hands in front of his chest and formed a hand seal. A faint crystal light flashed between his eyebrows, and his whole body was surrounded by blue light, forming a ball of light several feet in radius, in which countless blue wave shadows were dancing.
The surrounding river water was completely blocked out, and his clothes were clean and tidy, without any water stains.
"It really doesn't work..." Shen Luo sighed, released his hands that were in seals, and the crystal light between his eyebrows quickly disappeared.
After half a year of hard training, he relied on the power of binary true water to raise his cultivation to the peak of the Qigong stage, and the process was relatively smooth.
He had also taken the eight Tuomai Ruling Pills, and his mana had increased by almost half.
Relying on the experience of breaking through the Soul Condensation Stage in his dream and the greatly increased magic power, Shen Luo tried to break through, but unfortunately, he still ended in failure.
The principle of advancing to the Soul Condensation Stage is actually very simple. It involves circulating the magic energy, essence, and blood power of the whole body and infusing them into a mysterious checkpoint called Tianmen deep in the brain.
Tianmen is not an acupuncture point, but a mysterious place, the connection between the human body and the soul. Only when you reach the peak of the Bigu period can you sense it.
As long as this place is opened up, the brain can be developed with magic power, qi and blood power, and the power of the soul in the brain can be strengthened, thereby completely condensing the human form of soul and advancing to the soul condensation stage.
