Infinite Professions-Chapter 140 - 59: Fishing Elder_2

Zhou Yi’s mind was in a daze, overwhelmed with sorrow.

Just at this moment...

"Hah!"

A strange force came from behind, infusing into his limbs and bones, making Zhou Yi feel as if he were immersed in spring water, his body completely at ease, and the severe pain gradually dissipated. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Like this, who knows for how long.

The strange true power slowly faded away, and Zhou Yi returned from his dreamlike state to reality, hurriedly inspecting his body. To his surprise, he found that many of his bleeding wounds had now scabbed over.

Shen Hex lowered his hands and looked at the bewildered Zhou Yi, asking, "How do you feel?"

"Good, good..."

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, hurriedly propping himself up and kneeling before Shen Hex, "Thank you, old immortal, for saving my life."

At this moment, Shen Hex was dressed in a raincoat, his hair uncovered, and his white hair was apparent. His face was lined with wrinkles, seemingly like an old man of the Jianghu.

But Zhou Yi knew that someone with such means was definitely not just some ordinary old man.

He must be an immortal, if not an immortal, then an exotic person.

Must grasp this opportunity!

Looking at Zhou Yi kneeling on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, Shen Hex shook his head and asked, "Do you want revenge?"

"Revenge?"

Zhou Yi’s eyes focused, he raised his head, then bowed it again forcefully, "Yes, I dream of it."

"Good!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Hex didn’t say much, "I’ll teach you a martial art, if you master it, revenge is not a difficult matter."

"Martial art?"

Zhou Yi was startled and then awakened, "Thank you, old immortal, thank you."

"I’m not some old immortal, just an old fishing elder from Dongting Lake."

Shen Hex shook his head, "Are you willing to be my disciple?"

"Willing, willing, Zhou Yi is willing."

Zhou Yi knelt on the ground, kowtowing three times, "Master above, accept your disciple Zhou Yi’s bow."

"Very well, stand up!"

Shen Hex helped him up, "Our master-disciple fate is only for tonight; how much you can comprehend depends on your fortune."

"Just tonight?"

Zhou Yi was shocked, confused, feeling a sense of panic as if the support he just had was slipping away.

Yet Shen Hex said no more, directly starting to show him the technique.

At the bow of the boat, in a limited space, he still moved with cloud-like grace, the shadows of his fists in the night made Zhou Yi’s eyes dazzled.

"This is Xingyi Fist Skill, using form as the trunk, intention as the root, entering from the outside, blood coagulation and qi refining!"

"One night is too rushed, I will only teach you the Dragon Form Skill, the key lies in the word ’subdue’, overcoming all difficulties, controlling oneself, thus it is the Dragon Subduing Skill!"

"To practice, you must first stand in Static Posture, Dragon Subduing Technique, moving postures like a swim, Static Posture like a coil!"

"..."

Like this, after midnight, the weary Zhou Yi finally couldn’t withstand it, collapsing, panting heavily.

Seeing this, Shen Hex said no more, simply taking out a book, "This is the Dragon Subduing Skill manual, inside there is textual explanation as well as diagrams of human meridians and Pile Skill; cultivate well..."

Zhou Yi’s face changed, hurriedly kneeling to the ground, "Master, your great kindness, I can’t repay, if there’s a next life, I’ll become a cattle or horse..."

"No need!"

Shen Hex shook his head, "Just don’t reveal me as your master when causing trouble in the future!"

After saying that, regardless of Zhou Yi’s reaction, he turned and leaped away, disappearing into the thick fog over Dongting.

"Master!!!"

...

Like this, a few days later.

On Dongting Lake, hundreds of boats competed, ships roamed freely.

"Quick, quick!"

"His Majesty has decreed, whoever finds traces of the Nine-Star Dragon Carp, will be rewarded with ten thousand gold, and titled marquis!"

"The Gang Leader said, whoever finds the Nine-Star True Dragon Carp will be taken as a son-in-law, allowing the third miss to marry him."

"You bunch of worthless wretches, you better work harder; if you don’t find that Nine-Star True Dragon Carp, none of you will live."

"Brothers, the Nine-Star True Dragon Carp concerns our Broken Blade Sect’s survival, we must find it even if it costs our lives."

"Second brother, third brother, the Nine-Star True Dragon Carp is our Chuyun Island Three Righteous Men’s ladder to the heavens; as long as we catch it, I guarantee we’ll all enter Cloud Dragon Sect!"

"..."

Various powers, whether through coercion or incentive, forced fishermen to launch their boats, searching for a needle in the sea in Dongting Lake.

Moreover, numerous Jianghu martial artists, gang disciples, household servants of aristocratic families, and even military detachments bravely entered the water, looking for traces of the Nine-Star True Dragon Carp.

Such scenes filled Dongting, the eight hundred li lake was suddenly crowded.

"The world bustling for gain, the world bustling for profit!"

A small boat drifted on the lake, with two people aboard, both appearing detached from the world.

The speaker was a young man dressed in white, pure and flawless.

His gaze swept around, looking at the busy people in the lake, "All forces have arrived, it seems the rumors of the Nine-Star True Dragon Carp are true."

"Nine-Star True Dragon Carp!"

Before him, a man in black, his eyes dark and cold looking at the lake’s waves, "This Dongting Lake is nothing more than a mundane place, how could it nurture a Dragon Fish, there must be some intrigue."

"There must be intrigue!"

The man in white smiled, "Previously, this Dongting Lake also had Nine-Star True Dragon Carp appearing, attracting many Foundation Establishment Cultivators. They also believed this mundane place couldn’t nurture a true dragon, thinking there must be some kind of Immortal Fate, but in the end, they turned Dongting Lake upside down, finding nothing related to the true dragon, just catching a few small fish and shrimp."

"Perhaps it’s a Divine Artifact keeping itself hidden!"

The man in black shook his head, "After all, the range of such Immortal Fate objects is too broad, it mixes immortal truth with mundane things like fish and dragons. Perhaps there truly is an Immortal Fate treasure, hidden deep in Dongting, just that the Divine Artifact keeps itself hidden from the world."

"That’s indeed possible!"

The man in white nodded, "That’s why both Cloud Dragon Sect and Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain have dispatched Foundation Establishment Cultivators, wanting to capture that Nine-Star True Dragon Carp, and trace it back to find that Immortal Fate treasure."
