Become a Taoist from a woodcutter

Chapter 97: Shrunk to an inch? The method of earth movement!
Chu Jiang did not wear a raincoat this time, dressed normally, took a fishing rod, and headed to Dongjiang Town.

Wearing a coir raincoat and bamboo hat, he was so eye-catching that he was immediately recognized as an old fisherman.

Now, only people like Lin Qinghe still remember him, and the rest have probably forgotten what he looks like.

As for the fishing rods, there is no need to worry about being recognized. The fishing rods of the fishing men in Dongjiang Town are all made of bamboo, and the fishing lines are mostly silver.

Bring your fishing rod and come to Dongjiang Town.

This is the main road leading to Donglin City. The water flow is deeper than the shallow water area in the town. The weeds are lush and there are no good fishing spots, so I have never been fishing here before.

Now the weeds have been cleared and a fishing platform has been built.

There are already many fishermen on the riverside, and they are quite strong, and several of them are already practicing Qi.

He looked at the fishing platforms. On some fishing platforms, there were wooden and stone signs.

Chu Jiang picked up the nearest wooden sign, which was engraved with: At the limit of mortal realm, three people died fishing.

He looked at another fishing platform. There was a stone plaque on it, which was engraved with: At the limit of mortal realm, four people died fishing.

Chu Jiang recalled the hexagrams, and the good omen should be here. After thinking about it, he chose the Diaoyutai where four people died.

The fishermen on the side glanced at him with a hint of surprise on their faces.

A middle-aged man on the left said warmly: "Brother, let's change to another fishing platform. Four people have died on your fishing platform."

"Are the four of them destined to die in different ways?" Chu Jiang asked, and at the same time he could see that this person was at the second level of Qi training.

"That's not the case. We caught a big fish and were dragged into the water together with the help of three people." said the middle-aged man.

"Do you know what kind of spirit it is?" Chu Jiang asked with a smile.

A trace of surprise appeared on the middle-aged man's eyebrows, and he looked at him with stern eyes. He found that he could not see through it, just like he was in an ordinary mortal realm.

After thinking for a while, he said: "I don't know what kind of spirit it is. I just heard that when it enters the water, it becomes silent for a moment."

"Thank you for clearing up the confusion." Chu Jiang cupped his hands and said, "The spirit can't stay here forever. After all, the spirit has something to do, so he probably left long ago."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Then it depends on your luck."

"I've always been very lucky." Chu Jiang said with a confident smile.

At this time, a voice came from the right: "It is also possible that the spirits know that there is food here, so they have been guarding here."

Chu Jiang glanced at the person who spoke. He was a first-level Qi practitioner, a middle-aged man with dark skin. The clothes on his body had the word "Yongyi" on them. He should be a fisherman under Da Xiong.

Seeing his gaze, there was no change in the man's dark face. He cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just reminding you to be careful. I don't mean to curse you."

"It doesn't matter." Chu Jiang smiled lightly and said, "I've always been lucky."

Adjust your bait and cast with confidence.

The two fishermen didn't say anything else. The mortal fishermen not far away just glanced at them and didn't interrupt.

They all seemed to know these two Qi practitioners, and there was a hint of fear in their eyes as they looked at them.

Wow
Suddenly, the waves rippled, the middle-aged man raised his pole vigorously, and a three-meter-long catfish rushed out of the water.

The true energy blessed the fishhook, and the catfish swung its body violently, splashing countless water splashes, but it was unable to break free.

"Good luck."

The middle-aged man took off the catfish and threw it on the ground: "In the later stages of the mortal realm, you can sell it for a good price."

"Later stage of the Mortal Realm?" Chu Jiang pondered: "Is the Mortal Realm also divided into levels?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and looked at him in surprise: "You don't know?"

"I have been practicing in the mountains and forests and rarely go out, so I don't know." Chu Jiang said.

"So that's it. In Jianghu, the mortal realm is divided into four levels: early stage, middle stage, late stage and extreme stage."

The middle-aged man explained: "By crossing the limit of the mortal realm and opening the door to heaven and earth, you can step into the immortal path and advance to practice qi."

"That's it. Thank you for clarifying my doubts." Chu Jiang smiled slightly and raised his stick: "My luck has also come."

A grass carp more than two meters long, Chu Jiang took off the hook and released the grass carp casually.

"You..." The middle-aged man was stunned.

The fishermen on the side were also surprised by his release.

The swarthy man from Yongyi asked puzzledly: "How can you release the fish you caught?"

Chu Jiang smiled: "My old friend and I agreed that if nothing unexpected happens, we will only catch one fish, and we won't be able to eat too many."

"Old friend?" The swarthy man paused and said, "If you can't eat it, you can sell it for money."

"What do you need so much money for? If you eat Qi and cultivate, you don't eat grains, so why take too much?" Chu Jiang said calmly.

Hearing this, the two Qi practitioners were silent. They practiced Qi by eating Qi and did not eat grains. It was obvious that they were practicing Qi.

A Qi practitioner who cannot see clearly will naturally look down on this fish in the mortal realm.

Chu Jiang threw another rod, and a moment later, another fish came up.

Still in the mortal realm, released again.

Then one fish after another took the bait, all of which were from the mortal realm, and they were all released into the Chu River.

The fishermen around him watched blankly as he caught and released the fish, eager to go down to the river and catch the fish.

The two fishermen who were in the qi training realm could no longer catch fish. A large number of blisters appeared near the fishhook in the Chu River.

"Fellow Taoist, what kind of bait did you use?" the middle-aged man couldn't help but ask.

Ever since the Chu River caught fish, he hadn't caught another one.

The fish in the river do not eat the fish hooks that swim past him, but run to the fish hooks in the Chu River.

"Given it by a friend." Chu Jiang said with a smile, "I don't know much about fishing, I just do it occasionally when I have some free time."

"Who is your friend? Can you introduce me to him?" the middle-aged man asked.

A swarthy man also arrived: "Can you introduce me to your friend? We can also pay for the bait."

Chu Jiang shook his head slightly: "Sorry, I only see him once in a while."

After saying that, he raised his pole again, and there was another mortal fish.

Some of the fishing guys not far away had already put down their fishing rods and came to watch him fishing.

"You don't want those who are at the extreme end of the mortal realm?" Some people were heartbroken.

These fish at the extreme end of the mortal realm are of great help to their practice.

But they are not Chujiang. These fish have too little effect on Chujiang.

After they are promoted to Qi training and raised, they will be qualified to enter his gourd.

"Master, why don't you give me one?" A fisherman couldn't help but ask.

Chu Jiang didn't answer, thinking in his heart where the good omen was today.

One fish after another took the bait, and more and more people were around. Chu Jiang found that some fish were caught by him twice.

After thinking about it, he took out a few fish and handed them to the people around him: "Take them."

"Thank you, senior. Thank you, senior." The person who received the fish was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

As he delivered the fish, more people gathered to watch.

The two Qi practitioners also wanted to speak out, but they couldn't keep their faces down.

Chu Jiang once again caught two mortal realm limit fish and gave them to the two of them: "This mortal realm limit fish is for you."

"Thank you, senior." The two of them accepted it directly without being polite: "Senior is from Dongjiang Town, and he seems to be a very ordinary person." "He used to be, but now he is just an idle man in the mountains." Chu Jiang smiled calmly and raised his fishing rod. Shen felt the weight: "All spread out, the big fish is coming."

Hearing this, the crowd of onlookers quickly dispersed.

On the river surface, there are huge bubbles and rolling waves, and there is faint real energy stirring the river water.

"The spirit is coming!"

"Get out of the way quickly, the monsters may wash up on the shore and eat people."

The middle-aged man said seriously.

The crowd dispersed instantly, but the two Qi-training monks did not leave, looking solemnly at the river.

"No need to be nervous." Chu Jiang said calmly.

With a little effort, he raised the pole and heard a thunderous sound in the river.

One catch - thunder!
bang
Thunder exploded, the river surged into the sky, and a shad more than ten meters long rushed out of the water, surrounded by lightning, which electrocuted the shad to numbness.

bang
The shad washed ashore and slammed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Spirit, the spirit from the second level of Qi training!" The middle-aged man said excitedly: "There was an old fisherman who caught the grass carp king, pike king and catfish king from the third level of Qi training before. The senior fishermen easily caught the anchovies from the second level of Qi training. fish."

"Not long ago, someone also caught someone from the second level of qi training, but it was not so easy. They flew up directly." The swarthy man said.

"Fly directly to the second level of Qi training in one breath. There was a thunderous explosion before. What kind of technique is this?"

The people watching around also looked at this scene in shock.

"Second level Qi training spirit?"

A surprised voice rang out, and a young Taoist squeezed out from the crowd and looked at Shad in surprise: "Fellow Taoist, is this Shad willing to part ways with you?"

"I don't need ordinary money." Chu Jiang shook his head slightly.

He came here today mainly to wait for the opportunity.

"Of course it won't be money or mundane things. I have half a gourd of spirit wine and I'm willing to exchange it with you."

The young Taoist took out a golden gourd from his waist and shook it: "There is still half a gourd, which is enough for the anchovies."

After saying that, he opened the gourd, and the rich aroma of wine and the fluctuation of spiritual energy came.

Chu Jiang looked at him in surprise: "Are you sure?"

This spiritual energy fluctuation has reached the fourth level of Qi training. It is really a loss to use it in exchange for shad.

"Of course." The young Taoist said: "If you agree, let's do the deal now."

"That gourd's spiritual wine..." The middle-aged man and the dark-skinned man were also shocked by the fluctuations in spiritual energy.

"Then change it." Chu Jiang took the gourd, and by chance, he had almost finished drinking the spiritual wine.

Although this spiritual wine is a bit weak, once I go hunting monsters in the mountains and integrate into the spiritual wine, my spiritual energy will naturally improve.

He took out an ordinary gourd and poured the spiritual wine into it.

As soon as the young Taoist raised his hand, a cloth bag appeared, and the shad was actually eaten into it.

"What kind of magic weapon is this?" The people around were shocked again.

Chu Jiang also looked at the bag in surprise. Can it contain spirits?
"In the future, if there are any living spirits, you can sell them to me." The young Taoist said with a smile: "I have a Taoist view, Taoist Qingming."

"I remember." Chu Jiang nodded slightly and put away the fishing rod: "It's time for me to leave."

After that, he walked away.

"Fellow Taoist is staying here. I don't know what to call you yet, or how to find a friend to trade with." Taoist Qingming said quickly.

"A common woodcutter doesn't need to ask for his name."

Chu Jiang waved his hand and rode the wind away.

"Lumberjack? Is he the woodcutter?!" The fishermen around him were suddenly stunned and immediately relieved.

No wonder the spirit that can fly directly to the second level of Qi training turns out to be the woodcutter.

"His friend should be the old fisherman." The middle-aged man slapped his forehead: "I should have thought of it earlier."

"I didn't expect the woodcutter to be so young. Judging from his appearance, he is only twenty years old." The swarthy man said.

"When you step into the Immortal Path, you will live a long life and age naturally slowly." The middle-aged man said: "I have always heard that there are woodcutter and old fisherman in Dongjiang Town, and I finally met one today."

"Lumberjack? Wait for the trail."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Qingming moved and took a step forward, which was more than a hundred meters away. His speed was no weaker than Chujiang Yufeng.

Chu Jiang glanced back, with a trace of surprise on his face. Taoist Qingming, who was at the fourth level of Qi training, could actually catch up with him.

Although he didn't use all his strength, it was not something that ordinary people at the fourth level of Qi training could catch up with.

He looked carefully and saw that every step Taoist Qingming took, his feet were shining with earthy yellow light.

This is an earth-based footwork. Could it be the legendary method of shrinking the ground into an inch?

Today's good omen should be this Qingming.

After thinking for a moment, the Chu River floated down and entered the mountains and forests.

Instead of returning to the bamboo forest, he took Taoist Qingming to a forest.

Looking at Qing Ming chasing after him, Chu Jiang frowned and said, "Why are you following me? Who are you, Taoist Qingyu?"

"Qingyu is Senior Sister from Xiaodao. She started the Taoism late." Taoist Qingming bowed and said, "Brother Taoist Woodcutter, Xiaodao has heard of Taoist Brother's reputation for a long time. I am an old fisherman fishing in the Yangtze River. I wonder if I can lead Xiaodao to look for some spirits."

Chu Jiang frowned, waved his hand and said, "Why are you looking for ghosts?"

He started late and is young, but his cultivation is higher than Qingyu Taoist, reaching the fourth level of Qi training. This Qingming has great talent and better opportunities.

"To be honest, there is a magic weapon on the trail that can gather the power of spirits." Taoist Qingming said bluntly: "I have met very few spirits along the way. Meeting Taoist brother today is really a God-given fate."

"A magic weapon that gathers the power of spirits?" Chu Jiang pondered: "It's fine to find spirits for you, but what do you want to trade for? Spiritual wine?"

"The spirit wine is gone, how about the Qi training pills?" Taoist Qingming said: "Pindao still has some middle-grade Qi training pills, which can be used for the fourth to sixth levels of Qi training."

"Okay." Chu Jiang said: "The pace you used to chase me just now was the legendary shrinking into an inch?"

"Brother Taoist has misunderstood. Shrinking the ground into an inch is a legendary magical power. The small Taoist method is just a method of moving the earth."

Taoist Qingming said: "You can use the power of the earth to travel quickly, which is far less than shrinking into an inch."

"That's amazing." Chu Jiang said.

"Brother Taoist's fishing method surprised Xiaodao, but was it created by Brother Taoist?" Taoist Qingming asked.

"No, it was taught by the old fisherman." Chu Jiang said: "The old fisherman created three fishing methods to catch the monsters in the river."

"Three-way fishing method?"

Taoist Qingming's expression changed: "I wonder if I can have a discussion with the old fisherman and exchange ideas to confirm each other."

"The whereabouts of the old fisherman are uncertain. You can go downstream and take a look. Not long ago, sea monsters entered the river. He caught two sea monsters downstream."

Chu Jiang thought for a moment and said, "As for the weird things, come here tomorrow morning and I will prepare them for you."

"Thank you, Taoist Brother." Taoist Qingming bowed and said, "By the way, I only need living creatures. Dead spirits will greatly reduce the effectiveness of magical weapons."

"This is natural." Chu Jiang said: "How about replacing a spirit with a fourth-level Qi training pill with a bottle of mid-grade Qi training pills and two bottles with a fifth-level Qi training pill?"

"Yes." Taoist Qingming agreed.
