When the Nine Supremes had first gathered, Supreme Earth had said that although Supreme Water's physique was compatible with the Nine Heavens Demesne, it was not the best.
One day, when Supreme Water returned, the group was surprised to find out that Supreme Water's cultivation speed had become the fastest among them.
Supreme Earth was very puzzled about this. He had even asked Supreme Water what was going on.
Supreme Water could not explain it either. He only said that his cultivation base could not keep up and he was depressed, so he went fishing at the Thousand Feet Lake to relax. He caught a few fish and ate them. He did not feel anything unusual, but when he cultivated the Water Spirit Conjuration, he was unprecedentedly skilled. He even felt that the Water Spirit Conjuration was a cultivation method tailor-made for him. He did not need to put in much effort and his progress could be improved by leaps and bounds.
The few of them had even gone to the Thousand Feet Lake to catch fish for this. After all, Supreme Water's only special encounter during that period of time was to eat a few fish from the Thousand Feet Lake.
It was a pity that although they had caught a lot of fish, almost all the fish in the Thousand Feet Lake had been caught that time. They ate until their bellies were round and they were almost all fattened up, but there was no effect at all.
In the end, he denied this possibility.
However, Supreme Earth's fishing habit seemed to have been formed then.
Among the brothers, the ones with the highest cultivation base were Supreme Earth, Supreme Water, and Supreme Thunder. In spite of this, Supreme Water was the best when it came to the cultivation of their respective arcane skills.
Yun Yang's thoughts ran wild. From one to two, another incident surfaced in his mind.
One day two years ago, Supreme Earth had returned from fishing and called out to Supreme Water mysteriously, saying that he would treat him to fish.
Since then, Supreme Water's arcane skill cultivation had exploded at an even higher rate than before. He had advanced triumphantly and had broken through the seventh stage of the Water Spirit Conjuration!
Compared to the other brothers, he was three to four levels higher.
However, the brothers were only happy about it and did not think too much about it.
Since then, as long as Supreme Earth had nothing to do and had no mission, he would squat here to fish every day …
"Could this be the reason why big brother would come here to fish whenever he had nothing to do?"
A realization formed in Yun Yang's heart at that moment.
"Old sir, since no one else has noticed the peculiarity of this lake, how did you discover it?" Yun Yang asked curiously.
"This old man came to Tiantang City a few years ago because … cough … I happened to look at the Thousand Feet Lake and saw a faint rainbow. That's why I came down to fish. Back then, I caught a Seven-Scaled Immortal from here. That's how I felt."
The old man smiled. When he spoke, he sounded a little unnatural.
If these words were heard by an ordinary person, they would probably just let it go.
In spite of this, Yun Yang had grasped two key points immediately.
Occasionally, he would overlook the Thousand Feet Lake!
Overlook? What did that mean?
This Thousand Feet Lake is a vast expanse of flat land, where are you looking down from? How exactly was he going to get a bird's eye view?
And … come down to fish.
Where did you come down to fish?
However, Yun Yang's expression remained unchanged as he said with a smile, "Legend has it that after the Seven-Scaled Fairy eats it, one can become immortal and retain one's looks forever. I wonder if it's true."
The old man snorted and said, "That's just a rumor about a village man and a foolish woman. How can it be trusted? In this world, there's nothing that can make its user immortal and retain one's looks forever! "
Yun Yang asked curiously, "May I ask senior, what are the benefits of eating the Seven-Scaled Fairy? Senior said that you caught one by chance, I'm sure you're familiar with its benefits! "
The old man looked at him meaningfully and said, "The human body is in line with the universe's creation, Yin and Yang, the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. These physiques are the foundation of defying nature. However, those who know this truth are few and far between in this world. "
"Most of the people in this world will never know what kind of physique they have, wasting the precious raft that is the human body. Among all these physiques, there's one called the Water Spirit Celestial Body. To put it more bluntly, it's a body of water, a physique of water."
"The Water Physique is actually not that rare. There are many people who can swim faster than others. They can swim fast, and they don't find it difficult to swim underwater. There are even people who can breathe underwater, and they don't feel uncomfortable staying underwater for a long time. This kind of person is probably the so-called Water Physique. They're compatible with the Water Spirit Celestial Body. "
The old man said faintly, "However, this is only the most common and broadest view. To advance this physique to the next level and become a Water Spirit Celestial Body, one needs to go through a thousand hardships, go through life and death … and still, one might not succeed."
"However, with the help of the Seven-Scaled Fairy in this lake … heh." The old man seemed to despise the name 'Seven-Scaled Fairy' but he still said, "As long as one eats one, the potential of a person with the Water Spirit Celestial Body can be activated, transforming into a true Water Spirit Celestial Body!"
"This is the unique effect of this fish. Even if a person without the Water Spirit Celestial Body eats it, they'll feel like they've returned home after entering the water. There's no need to worry about drowning."
Yun Yang hesitated and asked, "What if it's eaten by someone with another physique?"
The old man frowned, a little impatient with the question. "Eaten by someone with another physique? There'll be effects for people with other physiques as well, but the effects won't be great. For example, those with the Wood Spirit Celestial Body will benefit from eating it because water is wood. However, those with the Metal and Earth Spirit Celestial Bodies won't benefit at all if they eat it. What's more, if those with the Fire Spirit Celestial Body eat it, it'll damage their physique instead. It's not just a saying that water and fire don't mix … "
Yun Yang lowered his head, feeling a warmth in his heart.
It turned out that the reason his eldest Supreme Earth came here to fish every day was not for him, but for his brother Supreme Water.
For his brother to eat this fish and increase his ability, he had been fishing here all these years as long as there was no mission!
"What if the fated one eats two of the Seven-Scaled Fairy?" Yun Yang's heart wavered but he asked persistently.
The old man looked at Yun Yang strangely. "This old man has only caught one after so many years. It's already a blessing from the heavens. You actually want to eat two?"
Yun Yang chuckled awkwardly. "The world is unpredictable. Who can say for sure? There's always a chance."
Suddenly, he recalled his current physique and the air of vitality. He could not help asking, "Is this fish considered a mystical beast?"
The question stumped the old man. After a moment's pause, he pondered for a long time before saying, "This … it's really hard to say." He looked at Yun Yang's body, measuring him from head to toe and chuckled. "However, if you eat this fish, it'll probably be quite useful."
Yun Yang was delighted. "Do I have the Water Spirit Physique?"
The old man chuckled strangely and said, "You're definitely not the Water Spirit Physique, but you can eat it. And it's useful to eat it. " His gaze grew stranger and stranger. Finally, an irrepressible smile crept onto his face. "Because your physique is Yin and Yang in one body, the universe and the five elements are all in one. Hmm, your physique is actually an amalgamation of all human physiques!"
Yun Yang heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I didn't know that my physique is so impressive."
"Haha …" The old man could not help but chuckle. "Impressive indeed. This old man has never known that there's actually a physique like yours in this world. Your physique can indeed be called the best in this world!"
Yun Yang did not mind, but he was excited nonetheless. "Really?"
"Really." The old man chuckled strangely. "Your physique is the best in this world … trash!"
"Water and fire converge, wind and thunder are one, Yin and Yang are compatible, the five elements are all in one, the universe and the universe are all in one. Your physique is truly … the Milky Way!"
The old man could not help but guffaw as he spoke. "Your traits are more numerous than the stars in the sky. This is the Milky Way …"
He was still babbling on and on, trying to explain himself.
Yun Yang was exasperated, his pretty face as dark as the bottom of a wok.
Looking at the old man's wide-open mouth and his tongue that was bouncing happily along with his laughter, Yun Yang felt like he had just been f * cked.
'I've treated you to such good wine and you're actually insulting me like this. Don't you know how to be more merciful?'
He wished he could scoop the wine out.
'Give me back my wine!
Give me back my Prime of Wine, my dream! '
"Alright, alright. We've talked so much and so much time has passed. Let's focus on fishing." The old man walked back, swaying. "Every year, after this period of time, we can no longer catch this Seven-Scaled Fairy that you speak of."
Yun Yang's eyes darted around as he said, "Old sir, why don't we make a bet?"
The old man turned his head and raised his brows. "Bet? What are we betting on? "
Yun Yang replied, "Of course we're betting on fishing here. How about we bet on catching this Seven-Scaled Fairy? "
The old man looked at him thoughtfully and finally chuckled.
"Child, so you know who this old man is?"
Yun Yang wore a bashful smile. "I didn't know at first."
The old man snorted and said, "You didn't know at first? If you really didn't know, would you have taken out such good wine? You've used all sorts of tricks to make this old man notice you, then you've provoked me. You've used the wine to ease the tension and talked about life. Step by step, you've come to this point and now you want to make a bet with this old man? "
"A pot of Prime of Wine is not something an ordinary person can take out. However, you've only taken it out as a stepping stone. "
"How is it right if you don't have a request for such a grand gesture? Since you have a request, how would you know that I can fulfill your request if you don't know who I am? Child, don't be so glib! "
Yun Yang chuckled. "Calm down, calm down. It's only natural that I have a request. Just like you said, I, Yun Yang, am a handsome man of my generation, naturally, I'm not a fool …"
