Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 162 - 73: Being a Fisherman
Chapter 162: Chapter 73: Being a Fisherman
Luoshui River.
On the deck of the building ship.
Everyone was fully prepared.
Each person was holding a large, basin-sized, white membrane-like sphere in their hands.
These were the swim bladders from a type of large fish from the Luoshui River; inside, they stored fresh air.
This item was their secondary lifeline after entering the water.
...
Even though they were all skilled martial artists, once they entered the water, they could only last less than the time it takes to drink a half cup of tea.
Without fresh air intake, once they dived deep, no matter how skilled in martial arts, they would still drown after running out of air.
Shi Xiaoyuan glanced over the group. Seeing their high-spirited appearance, he nodded contentedly.
He knew the sunken ship in the water was the territory of the White Dragon Fish.
According to Huang San’s description and their abilities, the White Dragon Fish’s strength in water was extraordinary.
He wouldn’t take action himself, and no one from the Green Snake Gang could handle the White Dragon Fish.
After all, among Huang San and the others, the strongest, as described, was a skilled individual who had achieved Great Success in Qi-Blood.
But against the White Dragon Fish, even this level of strength offered little chance of retaliation.
Thus, Shi Xiaoyuan knew, only he could ensure safety.
…
Elsewhere.

A notification appeared in front of Jiang Ning.
[Skill]: Swimming (Once Break Limit 1677/2000) (Trait: Underwater Breathing)
Glancing at his panel, Jiang Ning’s gaze then continued to fall on the building ship on the surface of the water.
He had arrived here early and had already discovered the ship.
The conversation of the people on board had also reached his ears.
“This is an unexpected surprise, it seems Wanhua Building still holds some secrets, even such hidden information is recorded.”
“White Dragon Fish, such spirited fish are indeed treasures! And a warehouse full of iron ore, that is a considerable fortune too!”
“And if it is as Shi Xiaoyuan said, where the White Dragon Fish resides, the growth of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures would be the biggest gain.”
Thinking this, Jiang Ning felt eager.
Because he felt this possibility was very high.
The White Dragon Fish having such strength, merely growing on its own would be hard to achieve.
Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures being present made the most logical possibility.
At this moment, he had made up his mind.
Since others were paving the way ahead, he didn’t mind.
The strength of the White Dragon Fish was unknown.
After all, as he knew, this world indeed had demons.
In the ancient times, when Immortals were numerous.
Demons were the domineering beings above the Human Clan.
Even in this era, according to books, in remote barbaric regions, Great Demons still lived.
Most of them were dormant somewhere.
Thus, the White Dragon Fish, a spirited fish with such strength, probably an awakened spirited fish, necessitated Shi Xiaoyuan, an Eighth Grade Martial Arts expert, to personally enter the water.
Such spirited fish could also be called demons.
If the White Dragon Fish’s strength was beyond expectation, then with the Green Snake Gang probing ahead, he could easily retreat.
If the White Dragon Fish wasn’t a threat, not a match for Shi Xiaoyuan,
Then he wouldn’t mind playing the role of a fisherman.
Casually, he would eliminate a menace for the people of Luoshui County.
Shi Xiaoyuan, an Eighth Grade Divine Power Realm expert, no longer posed any threat in his eyes.
Now his strength was enough to give him such confidence.
Confidence unmatched below the Seventh Grade.
Not to mention in the water.
In the water, let alone Shi Xiaoyuan, even if facing Cao Rong, he dared to fight several rounds.
…
A moment later.
Splash—
Plunk—
Several figures leaped into the water from the deck.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning also hung far behind them.
Now, in the water, he was no different from on land.
As long as he wanted to hide, no one could find him.
At least, with Shi Xiaoyuan’s strength, it was impossible for him to be found.
Jiang Ning’s five senses were now far beyond those of normal people.
Even underwater, he could see more than a hundred meters away.
Ordinary people, given the water quality of the Luoshui River, could barely see about ten meters.
Yet, his underwater vision was more than ten times that of an ordinary person.
His powerful hearing also allowed him to clearly hear the conversations on the surface of the river even while submerged.
In fact, it was even clearer than on the shore.
Thus, following Shi Xiaoyuan and the others was exceptionally easy for Jiang Ning.
He trailed behind them by twenty to thirty meters, following them all the way.
A moment later,
Shi Xiaoyuan and his group moved from the shallow area into the deeper waters where the light became dimmer and visibility narrower.
In this place, Jiang Ning’s vision was also somewhat affected.

From the previous hundred meters, it had sharply halved, now only about sixty meters remaining.
…
On the other side,
Shi Xiaoyuan and the others started to change their breath in the water.
They aligned the air bladders to their mouths and inhaled the fresh oxygen within.
Then,
Shi Xiaoyuan gestured, asking Huang San how far they were from their destination.
The gesture below was a necessary skill for those making a living in the water.
Because after diving in, it was impossible to verbally communicate, so they could only use hand signals.
Seeing this, Huang San responded with a gesture.
One breath’s distance.
Upon seeing this reply, Shi Xiaoyuan waved to the others.
The group again followed close behind Huang San, continuously diving deeper into the water.
…
A moment later,
An outline of a large ship appeared before them.
Seeing this sight, a smile couldn’t help but flicker across Shi Xiaoyuan’s eyes.
Yet, fear thickly clouded Huang San’s eyes.
Because in the dark hull of the large ship, he saw a streak of white flash by.
Though the streak was fleeting, it was immensely conspicuous in the dim underwater light, instantly drawing his attention.
It also made him recall his encounter here a few days ago.
His escape had been possible only because the White Dragon Fish had not pursued him that day.
In the next moment,
He immediately signalled with his hands.
The agitated water flow also caught Shi Xiaoyuan’s attention.
Then,
Shi Xiaoyuan also caught sight of the streak of white flashing in the shipwreck’s cabin.
Seeing that streak,
Shi Xiaoyuan instantly recognized it as the White Dragon Fish.
White Dragon Fish, a type of spiritual fish.
It was named so because its scales were all white and its body was long and slender, resembling the dragons of legend.
This fish was extremely rare, and its flesh incredibly delicious.
A mature White Dragon Fish was the dominant ruler of its waters, fast as a shooting star, its mouth lined with teeth sharp enough to cut through metal, with virtually no natural predators in the water.
Most importantly, its flesh was exceptional, a substantial nourishment for any martial artist.
It could strengthen muscles and bones, enhance physique and Qi-Blood.
Any martial artist who ate a White Dragon Fish could count it as several months of hard training.
Thus, despite being the ruler of the waters, the White Dragon Fish was caught so often it was nearly extinct.
