Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

Chen Yi felt a chill run down his spine and immediately held his breath, focusing his attention as he probed behind him.

At the same time, he reached out and patted Wu Qingshan on the back three times.

This is their agreed-upon code: they will pat each other on the back three times to warn of danger.

Wu Qingshan's body trembled, and he immediately turned around with Wu Tingting in his arms.

With a slight thought, a harpoon flew out of his storage bag and was immediately grasped in his hand.

Wu Tingting held a fishing net-like magical artifact, ready to throw it out casually.

The mud and sand splashed up by the coral reef behind the three instantly turned into a cloud that obscured their vision. At the same time, the bursts of lightning became even more dazzling.

The next moment, several dark figures moved with lightning speed and reappeared at Chen Yi and the others.

Wu Qingshan reacted quickly, immediately shielding Chen Yi and Wu Tingting behind him.

The sea monsters that attacked them were bluefin electric eels, which are fast, have sharp teeth, and can release electricity.

Chen Yi could barely make out their movements. Each bluefin electric eel was over 1.5 meters long, and seven or eight bluefin electric eels attacked the three of them from different angles.

The coral reefs are the habitat of bluefin electric eels, and Wu Qingshan and his companions' actions have already alerted them.

The bluefin electric eel is extremely fast. It darted forward in a few flashes and began to attack.

Wu Qingshan and Wu Tingting were unfazed and prepared to act at any moment.

Three bluefin electric eels rushed straight for Chen Yi's face, while the remaining ones surrounded and attacked Wu Qingshan and his companion.

Chen Yi showed no sign of panic as the bluefin electric eel rushed towards him.

With a thought, the Nine Cold Shadow Needles hidden in his sleeve shot out instantly.

Nine flying needles, swift as lightning, immediately hurtled towards the bluefin electric eel.

The next moment, streaks of blood erupted from the bodies of the three bluefin electric eels. They were instantly killed by Chen Yi's attack.

After Chen Yi landed a successful blow, his body suddenly drifted backward.

The Nine Needles of Cold Shadow are slender and sharp, and their use in the sea has little effect. These three bluefin electric eels are naturally no match for them.

Wu Qingshan and Wu Tingting worked together seamlessly.

One of the two men was responsible for drawing the fire and trapping the bluefin electric eel with a fishing net artifact, while the other man wielded a harpoon and thrust it out, cleanly and efficiently eliminating the bluefin electric eel.

However, compared to Chen Yi, they were much slower.

Chen Yi rushed to the two of them and immediately offered his help.

Instead of using the Nine Needles of Cold Shadow, he used a flying sword to assassinate him at close range.

Strands of demonic blood mingled with the mud and sand, and coral fragments continued to spread, obstructing the three's vision.

Wu Qingshan grabbed the two men's arms and quickly backed away.

He was extremely skilled in swimming and specialized in water-based martial arts, and several times he used his strength to retreat more than a hundred meters away.

He gestured to Chen Yi and the other person, and the three of them floated upwards together.

Chen Yi leaped out of the water and immediately piloted his flying artifact, leading Wu Qingshan and Wu Tingting to the shore.

"These beasts are such a nuisance!" Wu Qingshan cursed angrily.

Every time they harvested the red-gold blue-veined coral, these bluefin electric eels would harass them. If Chen Yi hadn't warned them, they probably would have been ambushed again.

Seeing this, Wu Qingshan had no choice but to lead the two into the sea from another direction to continue picking.

Along the way, the three encountered several more attacks from bluefin electric eels, but Chen Yi managed to thwart them each time.

The Nine Needles of Cold Shadow are even more powerful in the sea, thanks to the cover of the water. Chen Yi has annihilated the bluefin electric eels in these recent attacks.

Wu Qingshan couldn't help but look at him with new respect; Chen Yi's strength secretly alarmed him.

The three returned to the shore, rested for a while, and then continued to steer the flying boat forward.

As dusk approached, the sun began to set.

The sea reflects the crimson-gold glow of the sunset.

Wu Qingshan piloted the flying boat and landed on a small island. Chen Yi immediately sensed that the area in front of him was shrouded by an array barrier.

Wu Qingshan took out a jade pendant from his pocket and activated it with his spiritual energy.

In an instant, the jade pendant emitted bursts of rosy light.

An array barrier materialized, and the jade tablet's radiant light created an entrance within it.

Chen Yi followed Wu Qingshan and the other man into the formation, only to discover that it was a hidden world inside.

There was a small courtyard inside the array barrier, and three houses inside the courtyard.

"This is where we rest. We often stop here when we're at sea," Wu Qingshan said.

The East China Sea is extremely dangerous at night, and fishermen need to find small islands to rest on.

Wu Qingshan chose this small island as his habitat. The entire courtyard was shrouded in a protective array, so to outsiders it looked like just a beach.

After entering the courtyard, the three immediately started a fire to cook.

After eating a simple meal, Chen Yi sat down and closed his eyes to rest.

Even on the small island, they dared not let their guard down. Chen Yi volunteered, saying he could keep watch alone for the first half of the night.

Wu Qingshan and Wu Tingting returned to their room to rest.

Chen Yi sat on a cool chair in the courtyard, closing his eyes to rest while retaining some of his spiritual awareness to perceive his surroundings.

After the sun completely set, darkness instantly enveloped the entire sea.

Chen Yi slowly opened his eyes and took out the Xuan Shui Pearl from his storage bag.

He held the Mystic Water Pearl in his hand and immediately took one out and put it in his mouth. The Mystic Water Pearl gradually dissolved upon contact with his saliva, and waves of cool energy flowed down his throat into his eight extraordinary meridians.

The essence of the mysterious water entered his body, instantly giving Chen Yi a mental boost.

Chen Yi secretly circulated his spiritual energy, allowing the essence of the Xuan Water to better integrate into his body. He felt extremely comfortable throughout his meridians and internal organs, and his previously stagnant cultivation even showed signs of loosening.

He suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing in them.

"The essence of Xuan Shui really can remove the fire toxins and impurities from the body!!" Chen Yi's face lit up with joy.

Wu Qingshan also gave Chen Yi several pieces of red-gold and blue-veined coral, which could be given to alchemists to refine into elixirs.

The essence of the mysterious water contained in the red gold blue-veined coral is not as strong as that of the mysterious water pearl, but it still has the effect of removing fire toxins.

After returning to his own courtyard, Chen Yi planned to begin researching how to refine this kind of elixir.

As his cultivation level continues to improve, he will need more Xuan Shui essence or Jade Dew essence.

Just as Chen Yi was on guard, thick clouds were gathering in the sky.

The calm sea gradually began to ripple, eventually becoming turbulent. The clouds grew thicker, and a sense of oppression permeated the Donghai Islands.

As if sensing something, Chen Yi felt a sense of unease.

"Click, click"

Several flashes of lightning appeared in the clouds, followed by the sound of thunder in the early morning.

Although it was Chen Yi's first time fishing at sea, he was aware of the dangers of ocean waves. He was worried that a storm would affect his trip.

A dozen minutes later, a torrential downpour began without warning.

A fierce wind howled across the sea, and the waves surged violently. The entire island, before the raging waves, resembled a tiny boat.

Chen Yi was secretly alarmed; even piloting a flying boat would be dangerous in such severe weather.

Just then, Wu Qingshan swaggered over, pipe in hand, and said:

"Haha, Chen kid, this is your first time seeing an ocean storm, isn't it?"

Chen Yi nodded emphatically and asked:

"Mr. Wu, with such a big storm, are we still going out to sea tomorrow?"

"Even if one were to pilot an airship, it would probably still be..."
