I Cultivate Passively

Chapter 356 Understanding

It sounded abnormal for a cultivator to fish, right? After all, why would a high and mighty cultivator do such a thing?

It was very normal, however. Most cultivators needed to obtain sufficient resources to cultivate.

In addition, this world had sufficient Spiritual Qi and was dangerous in the wild. It was very difficult for mortals to survive.

Why was it said that the Southern Border was barren?

In fact, a very important criterion was how many mortals there were.

The higher the proportion of mortals, the more barren this place was.

Because this place simply couldn’t provide enough resources for cultivators to cultivate.

The commoners of this world should be the professional cultivators passed down from generation to generation in Celestial Lake City.

Those who didn’t cultivate weren’t even commoners.

Therefore, it was very normal for cultivators to catch fish.

After all, the fish they caught weren’t ordinary ones.

Zhou Feng stroked Big Yellow’s fur while observing how those people caught fish.

Those people took out some bait, its smell pungent.

Even though Zhou Feng was far away, he could feel the pungent smell.

“This bait…!

While Zhou Feng was frowning, these people threw all the bait far away.

In an instant, the calm surface of the lake began to churn.

S

Black shadows emerged from the bottom of the lake, and a savage aura erupted.

“It’s coming!”

“It’s the Blackbear Fish!”

“Attack!”

This was a small group of five people.

After seeing the bait react, they looked at each other and decided to attack.

The Blackbear Fish could be considered a specialty of the Celestial Lake. There were so many of them that it was almost impossible to kill them all.

This was the lowest grade of fish in the Celestial Lake.

It was named after its enormous size and black bear-like head.

Don’t underestimate this type of fish. Although this type of fish was at the bottom level of the Celestial Lake, its fleshly body was terrifying. Its brute strength could even suppress Purple Mansion cultivators.

Generally speaking, these Blackbear Fish moved in schools, and they would all appear together.

In addition to their geographical advantage, it would be quite difficult for ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators to deal with these Blackbear Fish.

However, even so, there were still many cultivators who came in groups to catch these Blackbear Fish.

There were even Purple Mansion cultivators.

This was because the flesh of the Blackbear Fish was delicious, and there was even a trace of essence energy within it.

Long-term consumption could improve one’s physique. Other than that, fish scales, fish bones, and fish blood were all rare materials.

Fish scales could be used to make armor, fish bones could be used to make arrows, and fish blood could be used as ink to make talismans.

The current human race was no longer the human race of the Human Emperor era.

In order to assist the entire human race’s cultivation, almost all the other races had been studied.

As long as they contained Spiritual Qi, all of them had their uses.

“Kill!”

These people worked well together. Two of them stood in front to defend while the other two threw their harpoons from behind.

The last person was in the middle, ready to assist at any time.

The specially made harpoons instantly pierced through the Blackbear Fish.

In an instant, the Blackbear Fish began to jump crazily.

Its robust body suddenly jumped up and then quickly dived to the bottom of the lake.

The terrifying strength almost dragged a person to the bottom of the lake.

At the same time, the other Blackbear Fish crazily swallowed the bait.

There were also some Blackbear Fish that spat out water arrows.

A large number of water arrows flew directly to the shore.

Two of the five fishermen hurriedly resisted these water arrows.

These water arrows were the only attack methods of the Blackbear Fish other than their physical bodies.

Although they looked simple, these water arrows contained a trace of Water Qi and were extremely sharp.

Moreover, there were so many of them that tens of thousands of arrows would pierce them if they were not careful.

Zhou Feng could clearly feel that these Blackbear Fish had a more tacit understanding than the five-man fishing team.

In a short while, they finished eating the bait and then attacked collectively, shooting out countless water arrows.

“Release!”

Seeing this, the person in the middle could only give up and hurriedly ordered them to retreat.

Then, the fishing operation ended in failure.

The five-man team even lost all the bait and a harpoon.

“F*ck! These fish…”

Zhou Feng was a little dumbfounded.

These fish were powerful, and it seemed like they had done this more than ten times. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have such a tacit understanding.

No wonder there were so many cultivators gathered in the Celestial Lake.

It was still very difficult to fish alone.

At this time, Zhou Feng looked at the fishing rod in his hand while thinking of the Blackbear Fish’s size.

“What a pity! Only the Blackbear Fish will take the bait in the near future. Let’s go back first!”

“There’s nothing we can do! It’s our fault for not having a battleship. We can only stay here on the shore!”

“If we had a battleship, we would be able to go deep into the lake. There wouldn’t be so many Blackbear Fish there.”

The five-man team looked a bit dejected, but this result wasn’t unacceptable.

These Blackbear Fish were becoming more and more cunning, so they weren’t as easy to catch as they were a dozen years ago.

This was because a large number of cultivators were fishing in the Celestial Lake, causing the fish to undergo drastic changes.

The fish that were weak in battle were almost extinct.

Only the Blackbear Fish that were strong in battle were left.

Other than that, some fish were abnormally intelligent. Their intelligence was not inferior to that of humans.

A simple bait would not be able to lure these spirit fish up.

Then there were the Spirit King rank fish. They were on par with Divine Ability experts, so it was tough to deal with them.

Moreover, the area with the most fish was the central area of the Celestial Lake.

However, ordinary cultivators did not dare to cross the lake without a battleship.

If one dared to cross the lake without the protection of a battleship, they would end up in the belly of a fish even if they had cultivated to the Divine Ability realm..

The five-man team chose to leave.

Zhou Feng was the only one left on the shore.

‘A battleship?’

Zhou Feng analyzed some information from their conversation.

The fishing methods of those people were probably the simplest.

Therefore, they could only work on the shore.

If it was a more advanced method, would they navigate the warship to the depths of the lake to work?

His heart slightly moved at that thought.

‘Forget it! Let’s give it a try first. I have the passive Fisherman, anyway.’

After thinking about it, Zhou Feng felt that it was better to give it a try himself.

It was not difficult to deal with the Blackbear Fish given his strength. Those water arrows couldn’t penetrate his skin at all.

Zhou Feng planned to catch a Blackbear Fish.

With so many cultivators fishing in the Celestial Lake, there must be a market nearby to buy these fish.

Perhaps, there were many strongholds nearby.

Unfortunately, the map he had gotten in Celestial Lake City only recorded those big cities.

As for what was in other places, there was basically nothing.

He still had to rely on himself to explore slowly.

Fortunately, Zhou Feng was not so impatient. He could take this opportunity to integrate into this world slowly.
