From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 10: Academy Spiritual Water

Yu Shuyang walked through the terraced school buildings and came to the small square in front of the school. It was very lively here. Ten big fires were set up there to boil water, and ten water tanks were drying there.

This was the spiritual material he had requested from the academy for use in refining water talismans, the spiritual Zi water and the spiritual Hai water. He felt the Qi of Ren Yang water, which could be paired with the Zi Yang water talisman and the Hai Yin water talisman.

These two kinds of spiritual water are easy to collect but difficult to extract. At midnight, dew falls from the sky, and a thousand pounds of dew can form a drop of spiritual water. At midnight, cool water falls from the well, and one hundred thousand pounds of cool water can produce a drop of spiritual water.

"Senior, how about the spiritual water?"

"Don't even mention it. I've been boiling dew for a whole day and haven't managed to collect two ounces, let alone half a pound.

The well water over there has been blown into mist by the wind and then gathered into water. It has been tossed back and forth three times and is waiting to be dried in the shade.

The spiritual materials you want are not expensive, but they are too troublesome. If you didn't plan and prepare in advance, and now you are asking for them urgently, I'm afraid it will be difficult to obtain them in a short time."

The one who told the truth was a man with a fish head and a human body, also at the seventh level of cultivation, and was a gentleman who managed the school dormitory in the academy.

"Thank you for your help, Senior. I won't wait any longer and will go to the academy to apply for it first."

Yu Shuyang was also helpless. It was Yu Jixiang who caught him off guard. The spiritual materials for the two water talismans of Tianfeng Dao were not yet complete.

Fortunately, the Shenjin Spirit Stone and Youjin Spirit Stone required for the Jinfa method are already available. These two are not cheap and are both good spiritual materials for sword making.

The place to apply for spiritual materials in the academy is the treasury. The one in charge of the treasury is a sixth-rank shrimp spirit, known as the money general Xia Wushou. The eighth-rank shrimp general in the north square is his grandson.

Xia Wushou has always been Madam Wushuang's old servant. He has been a very capable director in the academy over the years, especially in providing the fish spirits with spiritual materials for breakthroughs, and there has never been a shortage of them.

"Sir, I'm here to get the spiritual materials for a ninth-grade breakthrough. Please verify it."

Yu Shuyang presented a long jade plate, which was a token for identity verification and claiming the withdrawal.

Xia Wushou did not teach students, but because of his old age and high level of cultivation, he was respectfully called "Great Master" by all the teachers and students.

Xia Wushou, the general of the Golden Army, was dressed in a golden helmet and golden armor, dressed like a military general. Except for the fact that he had no weapons in his hands, he looked just like a door god.

"Boy, you haven't collected all your stuff yet. You have only collected five of the four seasons and eight solar terms. Shen Metal and You Metal are no problem.

If you're in a hurry to get the Lingzi water, I might have to work overtime to get it, but I can't guarantee the availability of the Linghai water.

I've had so many students, but I've never seen anyone like you. How could you be so hasty in doing things?"

Xia Wushou took the jade token and knew who it was at a glance. There was no need to look through the record book. This fact was deeply engraved in his memory.

Originally, he planned to buy some time and teach the kid a lesson, but what he wanted was very unpopular and could not be obtained in a short time.

If Master Yu hadn't come in person to borrow the gas bottle to replenish the three missing pure energies, he would have delayed it a while to let the child learn a lesson.

"Excuse me, sir, please give me what you have first. I need it urgently."

Yu Shuyang naturally knew Xia Wushou's attitude. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Master Yu to personally help him go out to collect Qi. Only a close master who had kowtowed to him could pamper him like this.

With the attitude of putting the money in pocket, Yu Shuyang wanted to take it back first, and then wait while performing the ritual, so that time would go faster.

"Do you understand the rules? When applying for spiritual materials to break through to the ninth rank, you can't collect them separately.

Moreover, your cultivation method is special, so you have to wait for the results of the divination, so it is impossible for you to receive it first."

Xia Wushou's eyes were as big as copper bells. He was obviously a shrimp spirit, but he transformed into a cow face. He refused to give in and was indeed a stubborn slave.

Yu Shuyang had no choice but to put the jade token away. Actually, it was useless for him to take it back. He had to practice the alchemy techniques together. Eight wind talismans, two water talismans, and two gold talismans, and the mixed cave alchemy technique condensed the Dharma image, so that he could break through to the ninth level, which was in line with his expectations.

"Remember to prepare in advance next time. It's useless to be willful. We are all family in this blessed land.

If you were outside, you would have to ask others for help. What was originally a simple thing has become troublesome and laborious for you.

Do you think so or not?"

Xia Wushou couldn't help but nag a few words. The fish spirits in the academy were just like his own children. If he didn't like something, he would naturally teach them a lesson.

"Mr. Da is right. So when can I come and pick it up?"

Yu Shuyang was nervous and couldn't put the money in his pocket. He always felt uneasy, but he was helpless and could only bow his head and speak softly.

"Five days, Lingzi Water and Linghai Water are enough. Your husband should be able to gather Qi faster, so he should be back in about two days.

The main thing is to wait and see what the divination says. It's better to be cautious and not to encounter any evil life-saving methods, as they could cost you your life."

Xia Wushou had no intention of targeting anyone, and there was no need to do so. Given his status and Yu Shuyang's status, they were just doing their job impartially.

Of course, he was a little angry. It was a waste for a spiritual plant husband with great talent to not play to his strengths and instead practice other spells.

"Master, that's what I'm teaching you. I'll come back in five days."

Yu Shuyang said goodbye politely and quickly slipped away. Xia Wushou acted like he was lecturing him, which made him very unbearable.

However, it was not a complete failure. At least I knew the result of the divination would be out in five days. I just didn't know how it would be notified to the treasury.

Isn't it said that the Great Immortal Xiyu lives alone in the Qingze Taoist Palace without any servants around him? Is there some unknown means of communicating?
That's not right. All matters of the academy, big or small, have long been handed over to Madam Wushuang. It's impossible that Immortal Xiyu would think of giving orders to the treasury because of him.

Yu Shuyang secretly wondered in his heart, maybe it was his father who was causing trouble again, there was really no peace.

The spiritual materials needed to break through to the ninth level are also being prepared. It's just a matter of waiting for a few days. There's no point in being anxious. It's better to prepare for sword-making.

Whether practicing the Heavenly Wind Curse or the Mixed Hole Gold and Water Talisman, the purpose is still to practice the way of the sword immortal. Wouldn't a sword immortal without a sword be a joke?

In his previous life, he practiced the way of swordsmanship, holding a killing sword to slay evil and carrying a sword of life to heal wounds. The two swords of life and death symbolize the two yin and yang, which can conceal his own aura and avoid many calculations.

Unfortunately, the fish body and water element have Yin Metal, so he can no longer wield the sword to eliminate injustices as he did in the past. He must change to practicing the magic sword and find a magic sword that suits his fish body.

His nearly ten years of deduction and calculation were not in vain. Picking out a killing sword and a life sword could also form the yin and yang phase. Moreover, the magic sword is of the same lineage, and the power of the magic of heaven and earth is even greater.

Whether the swords are carried on their backs or flown by the sword-wielding lineage, they all use forged swords with the same shape and specifications.

The magic sword school is different. It often learns from the heaven and earth, and emphasizes that water has no constant state and sword has no constant method. It often takes the method but forgets the form.

The two magic swords conceived by Yu Shuyang naturally followed this idea.

The killing sword is called Bailin Zhanyuan Sword, shaped like a metal ring, and the life sword is called Wuzhi Yaocao Sword, shaped like a Ganoderma lucidum Ruyi.

　Please give me a recommendation and a book review, please.
