Among them, Yu County is located in the north, and its scope is two or three times the size of ordinary counties.
This county has a dense water network, with frequent boat traffic on the river, and wooden bridges and stone bridges can be seen everywhere. Compared with the surrounding area of Qingzhushanfang City, it is a different scene.
Wandao Lake.
Pier.
Countless fishing boats are gathered together, and hundreds of boats are vying for water. There are gentle waves on the lake, shining in the sun, like dots of scales.
When Fang Xi came to the pier, she saw many fishermen wearing green bamboo hats, green raincoats, and gray or black trousers sitting or standing on the roadside, selling their catch.
"Young man, would you like a big green carp?"
An old fisherman said with a smile.
"No, I want to find a boat and sail into the depths of Wandao Lake."
Fang Xi took out a piece of silver.
The dazzling light made many fishermen's eyes brighten, but they shook their heads again and again: "The depths of Wandao Lake are very dangerous, so don't dare to go..."
"It is said that there are immortals in the depths of Wandao Lake!"
"We can only make a living near the lake. We must not offend the immortals, otherwise the immortals will blame us. If there is no catch in the coming year, everyone will drink from the northwest wind!"
……
Seeing more and more fishermen approaching, Fang Xi smiled and exchanged the silver for an ingot of gold. "Go there once. This gold will be enough for you to buy land and houses, and you will never have to go fishing in your life..."
"I'll go!" A young fisherman immediately stood up, "Young master, you want to go to find immortals, right? In fact, the younger one once took several young heroes to the depths of the lake to search for immortality..."
"Is there any more?"
Fang Xi took a look, and there must be a brave man under a heavy reward.
He took out a piece of gold and indeed attracted many fishermen.
Fang Xi didn't say much, and went to look at their respective boats, and finally selected one with a red carp pattern on its bow.
The boss of this ship looks like he is in his forties or fifties, with thick bones and a weather-beaten face, but he is actually only in his thirties and calls himself "Old Boss of the Sea".
Fang Xi chose the boat, and Mr. Hai held up his bamboo pole and slowly drove the boat away from the dock and toward the lake.
A few hours later.
As dusk falls, the water surface becomes golden with traces of reddish color.
Boss Hai held up the boat and sang a fishing song at the top of his voice, "The reeds are floating... The boat goes quietly... There will be more fish in the coming year..."
The sun sets in the west and the fishermen sing late, which is quite unique.
Fang Xi stood on the hull, feeling the breeze blowing, and stretched out comfortably.
"My distinguished guest, would you like dinner?"
At this time, a woman emerged from the cabin of the small awning boat and asked softly.
She looks younger than Mr. Hai. She has a small white flower on her temple. She must have been quite pretty when she was young.
For fishermen, a awning boat is a home, and they live and die on the boat.
This woman is naturally Mr. Hai’s wife.
"Forget it...just have a bowl of fish soup!"
Fang Xi nodded and threw a silver bean over.
After receiving the reward, the woman immediately returned to the cabin and cooked a crucian carp quickly.
This fish head and fish bones are stewed in soup. The soup is thick and white in color. With just a little salt sprinkled on it, the taste is very delicious.
The fish body is cut into thin slices and grilled over low heat until it is slightly browned and fragrant.
Paired with home-brewed local wine, it has a unique flavor.
Fang Xi ate happily and was rewarded with a silver bean.
The woman collected the silver beans but did not leave. Jiao Didi asked, "The dew is heavy at night, does the young master need to be taken care of?"
Most of the ancient boat girls had part-time jobs, and Fang Xi was not surprised at all, so she shook her head and refused.
Boss Hai, who had been holding the boat, couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw this scene.
He lives on the shores of Wandao Lake all year round, weathering the wind and rain. Although he has little savings, he always has good eyesight.
The red carp on the bow of the boat is the highest honor for fishermen - in Wandao Lake, after the wind and waves, a carp with red scales and long whiskers will occasionally appear. It is very valuable, but also extremely difficult to catch.
, only boaters who have successfully caught this kind of red carp can have a mark on the bow of the boat.
Hai Laoda could barely make ends meet by relying on his fishing skills. The reason why he stepped forward to take over Fang Xi's business was because he saw that this young man was extraordinary.
Either he is a well-dressed young master, or he is a young knight who travels around the world.
If the seeds can be borrowed, perhaps the next generation can learn martial arts and get rid of the hard work of fishing.
The really poor ancient people actually didn’t care much about this aspect.
But I didn't expect that the young master didn't like him at all.
His sigh seemed to be heard by Fang Xi.
Fang Xi came to the bow of the ship and pointed the direction for Boss Hai, and said at the same time, "Don't worry, as long as you get to the place, I will be rewarded heavily!"
……
Five days later.
"Young master... we don't dare to go further after passing this Jin Aotou..."
Hai Laoda pointed to a reef not far away that looked like a big turtle protruding out of the lake, and said to Fang Xi, "The fishermen in our area generally only dare to fish near the lake, and only a few can go deep here... And
According to our experience, if we go deeper, there will be disaster!"
"Well, it's not bad to be here."
Fang Xi took out Ge Hongdan's Kanyu map and looked at it, and couldn't help but nod.
The reason why he hired a boat was because he didn't want to fly too far in the dark clouds.
When we arrived at Jin'aotou, we were very close to Baochuanfang City.
After saying that, Fang Xi patted the storage bag directly.
A dark cloud emerged and surrounded him, causing him to fly off the deck.
"You two can go back."
Fang Xi gave an order, dropped a piece of gold, and rode the black cloud away.
"This..."
Hai LaoDa was so stupid that he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "The Immortal Master is so merciful and compassionate... Don't blame the Immortal Master! Don't blame the Immortal Master!"
When he got up and saw his wife happily putting the gold into her arms, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed, "Oh...it would be great if the Immortal Master liked you..."
Maybe, you can get the immortal seed and let future generations embark on the path of cultivating immortals.
……
Baochuanfang City is located on Baochuan Island.
The island is square and shaped like a treasure ship, hence its name.
On the island, there is a first-order spiritual vein, which was later occupied by the Arowana Zhong family and transformed into a market. Around the market, there are terraced fields filled with spiritual rice.
Fang Xi changed her face and covered half of her face again. She drove the black cloud bag and arrived at Treasure Ship Island in just half an hour.
There were no air restrictions over the island, so he flew over the uneven terraces and arrived at the entrance to Fangshi.
Looking at the spiritual farmers who were working hard on the ground, raising their heads occasionally with envy in their eyes, Fang Xi felt inexplicably feeling in her heart for a moment.
If he hadn't had the golden finger, he might still be a spiritual farmer in Qingzhu Mountain, and then be affected during the battle that destroyed the Situ family...
"This Master Immortal is very polite, but is it your first time coming to Fangshi?"
Several mortals were squatting at the gate of Fang City. When they saw Fang Xi's magic weapon landing, they immediately gathered around him. "We are local guides and know the inside of Fang City well..."
"Well, just do it!"
Fang Xi ordered a boy in Tsing Yi.
The boy immediately smiled brightly, dismissed the other companions, and led Fang Xi from the front. "You don't need a voucher to enter Baochuanfang City, and you don't need to pay spiritual stones... But if you don't leave at night, you will be caught by the patrolling monks, but you will suffer."
"... this immortal master, I only need one spiritual crystal a day to hire! I, Mo Qingyi, am lucky enough to meet the immortal master today..."
"You...seem to be just a mortal?"
Fang Xi asked Mo Qingyi to lead the way and said casually.
When mentioning this matter, Mo Qingyi suddenly felt a little sad, "I am stupid and do not have the qualifications to inherit my grandfather's spiritual roots..."
After chatting for a while, Fang Xi learned that Wandao Lake was different from Qingzhu Mountain. There were a large number of descendants of monks, many of whom were without spiritual roots, but they were also raised on the islands, forming villages everywhere.
and towns.
Mortals who can live near Fangshi and still earn a living must be direct descendants of monks within three generations.
‘These islands are even equivalent to small countries?’
'Well...after all, it is an island, but it is actually quite big. In the previous life, Fuso could have had a name worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of dan...'
Fang Xi cursed in her heart, and then smiled and said, "If you work hard, the benefits will be indispensable to you... I am going to sell some monster materials, and at the same time purchase a body training method, some puppets and the inheritance of beast control skills..." p>
The reason why I practiced martial arts in Da Liang before was because Da Liang martial arts was quick, did not require any materials, and was helpful for the breakthrough of Qi and blood when building the foundation.
If he switched to the body-refining techniques from the world of immortality, if he wanted to reach the third level of body-refining, he would have spent a lot of spiritual stones.
At least, you have to eat spiritual rice every time, and combine it with medicated baths made from various elixirs, as well as elixirs...
Overall, Daliang Martial Arts is more cost-effective.
But now, the Grandmaster has no way forward, and Fang Xi must be ready to jump ship.
Mo Qingyi thought for a while, "As for selling monster materials, there are several seniors in the stall area who have been purchasing various monster materials for a long time. The one with the best reputation is the 'Longmen Pavilion' opened by the Zhong family!"
"As for the puppet technique? Please forgive my ignorance. I haven't heard of any relevant inheritance for sale... As for the technique of controlling beasts, there is a Miao Immortal Master who keeps three spiritual pets around him. He probably has relevant inheritance. You can ask
Just ask."
"Lead the way, go to Longmen Pavilion first!" Fang Xi nodded, quite satisfied with this guide.
If it were him, I don't know how much time and energy it would take to figure out these situations.
Longmen Pavilion.
Arowana Zhong's main business is raising spiritual fish. The spiritual fish they raise are 'green jade carps', which are delicious and contain very mild spiritual energy. They are especially suitable for water spiritual root monks to take. Long-term consumption is equivalent to taking elixirs for practice.
And there is no erysipelas.
Rumor has it that among the thousands of green jade carps, a fish king may be born. This fish king has awakened a little bit of the dragon's blood and is nicknamed 'Little Green Dragon'!
This 'little green dragon' can be made into 'green dragon soup' by adding a few precious elixirs to it, which will be beneficial even for foundation building and major repairs.
It's a pity that most casual practitioners will never be able to smell the taste of Qinglong Tang.
Except for a small amount of these spiritual objects used by the Min clan for their own use, most of them are offered as tribute to the Xuantian Sect in exchange for precious resources such as Foundation Establishment Pills.
