Senior is indeed an expert, these methods are really amazing."
Chu Tianchen nodded repeatedly to express his admiration, and did not hesitate to express his praise.
The old man was very satisfied with his reaction and felt very relieved.
But he still kept a straight face and asked in a low tone: "Don't think that if you compliment me a few times, this matter will go away.
Tell me, how do you plan to compensate me for my losses?"
Chu Tianchen's plan failed, and he asked helplessly: "What compensation does the senior want?"
The old man said expressionlessly: "I don't want any compensation, just the golden dragon and carp!
You have to help me capture a golden dragon and carp, and then this matter will be over."
"But I don't know how to fish." Chu Tianchen spread his hands, his expression even more helpless.
The old man's expression did not change, and his tone was solemn and authentic: "No matter what method you use, you have to pay me a golden dragon and carp anyway."
"..." Chu Tianchen frowned and observed the old man's expression, very suspicious that the old man was blackmailing him.
Seeing that Chu Tianchen remained silent, his eyes kept moving, as if he was thinking of a way.
The old man added: "Don't expect anyone to help you excuse yourself! No matter whether the deputy sect master or the sect master comes to plead for mercy, it's useless!"
"You...are relying on me, right?" Chu Tianchen was completely at a loss and stared at the old man angrily.
Seeing that he was angry and helpless, the old man stopped being angry and said with a calm face: "Young man, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense.
What is Lai?
You ruined my plan and three months of hard work, shouldn't you pay compensation?"
Chu Tianchen thought about it and realized that he could not avoid this disaster and had no choice but to admit defeat.
"That's all, just think that I respect my seniors and admit my defeat.
Senior taught me the technique of fishing for stars, and I will help you catch a golden dragon carp."
The old man then showed a satisfied smile, nodded and said, "Well, this is what a man should do."
After that, the old man led Chu Tianchen to fly across the lake and rushed to the center of Weiran Lake.
There is no island in the center of the lake, only the sparkling water reflecting the warm sunshine.
The old man stood on the water, pointed to the clear lake water at his feet, and said to Chu Tianchen: "This is the deepest place in Weiran Lake, and it is also the place with the most abundant spiritual energy.
It is about 150 feet deep here, and there are many secret passages and holes at the bottom of the lake, leading to all directions.
Therefore, this is the most likely place where the golden dragon carp appears."
Chu Tianchen listened calmly, occasionally nodding in response.
The old man handed the Qingyun Lingzhu to Chu Tianchen and ordered: "First feel the spirituality of the Qingyun Lingzhu and try to transmit the spiritual power."
Chu Tianchen took the Qingyun Lingzhu and felt it was heavy, weighing at least a thousand kilograms.
He couldn't help but be a little surprised. It was just a two-foot-long bamboo pole, but it was so tough and its weight was quite exaggerated.
However, he was relieved after thinking about it.
This is not an ordinary bamboo pole, but a spiritual bamboo that has grown for hundreds of years. It has absorbed so much aura of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon.
The old man superimposed many formation restrictions on the bamboo poles and carved many spell marks.
It is no longer a bamboo pole, but a magic weapon or weapon.
Under such circumstances, it would not be surprising even if the spiritual bamboo is as heavy as a mountain.
After the surprise in his heart dissipated, Chu Tianchen began to feel the spirituality of Lingzhu and input spiritual power into it.
Each magic weapon has a degree of compatibility with spiritual power and can transmit spiritual power.
The higher the grade of the magic weapon, the higher the compatibility with spiritual power, and the higher the speed and efficiency of transmitting spiritual power.
Under normal circumstances, the compatibility between a king-level magic weapon and spiritual power is about 60%.
In other words, when a warrior releases spiritual power through it, there will be a 40% loss, and the speed and efficiency are not high.
However, the compatibility between the highest-quality royal-level magic weapon and spiritual power can reach 80%.
Heaven-level magic weapons can reach 90%, or even 100%!
The spiritual power released by the warrior through the magic weapon has almost no loss, and the speed can reach its peak.
As for the holy level magic weapon above the heaven level, it is said that the compatibility can reach 120%.
In other words, when a warrior uses a holy magic weapon, not only is there no loss of spiritual power, but he can also get a 20% increase and acceleration!
Chu Tianchen's God-killing Sword and Ice Dragon Armor both have such effects.
Moreover, the effect of increasing spiritual power is far more than 20%.
The Qingyun Lingzhu in Chu Tianchen's hand is a standard imperial-level magic weapon.
But after Chu Tianchen released his spiritual power, he found that the speed and efficiency of spiritual power transmission was about 90%.
"Although it is an imperial-level magic weapon, it is infinitely close to a heaven-level treasure!"
Chu Tianchen's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but admire: "This is due to the restrictions and talismans set by seniors. Senior's attainments in formation and talisman are astonishing!"
The old man showed a reserved smile, stroked his beard and said: "Don't pay attention to the appearance, continue to feel and adapt."
Chu Tianchen understood what he meant, and deeply felt the structure of the spiritual bamboo to speed up the transmission of spiritual power.
He soon discovered that through the blessing of Lingzhu, his spiritual power not only became more pure and condensed, but also had the power of the soul added to it, possessing various effects.
He further observed and found that Lingzhu had another mystery and even more unfathomable effects.
While he was surprised, he also admired the old man's attainments in Talisman Dao and Formation Dao even more.
Unknowingly, two hours passed.
Chu Tianchen tried hundreds of times and finally figured out the characteristics and effects of Qingyun Lingzhu.
The spiritual bamboo, which weighed more than a thousand kilograms, became as light as nothing in his hand, and could change according to his will.
The old man showed a satisfied look in his eyes, nodded and said: "Have you become familiar with Qingyun Lingzhu so quickly?
Then try to release your spiritual power, condense it into a line, and extend it toward the center of the lake."
Chu Tianchen followed the instructions and released his spiritual power in an orderly manner, condensing it into threads through the spiritual bamboo.
Soon, a layer of hazy blue light surrounded the spiritual bamboo, and a spiritual line as thick as a chopstick slightly extended from the pole.
The blue spiritual power lines gradually lengthened and slowly dropped into the lake.
After just a hundred breaths, the line of spiritual power grew to ten feet, extending under the lake surface, rippling gently in the water.
Seeing this scene, a look of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes, and he gave Chu Tianchen a meaningful look.
"You kid, your understanding is so amazing, it's beyond my expectation.
However, your condensed spiritual power is as thick as chopsticks, how can it be called silk thread?
With such a thick line of spiritual power, the golden dragon and carp would have been scared away when they saw it!"
Chu Tianchen stopped releasing his spiritual power and bowed to the old man, "Please give me some advice, senior."
The old man pinched his fingers with his right hand and quickly formed a mysterious mark, and a ball of golden light appeared in his palm.
"I am now teaching you the technique of fishing for stars. You must study it carefully and try to understand it as soon as possible.
After you understand it, you can use the star fishing technique to refine your spiritual power and soul.
When you can gather one hundred and fifty feet of spiritual power thread as thin as a hair, you can try to capture the golden dragon carp."
After saying that, the old man waved his hand, and the golden light penetrated into Chu Tianchen's forehead.
A stream of profound and obscure information immediately poured into Chu Tianchen's sea of consciousness.
His soul was powerful enough to quickly digest the information and remember it firmly.
After just a cursory glance, he deeply felt how mysterious the star fishing technique was.
At the same time, he also understood that the efficacy of this magical secret method was not just as simple as fishing.
It can also temper the power of the soul and exercise the fineness of his control of spiritual power.
In other words, this is a secret method that consolidates the foundation of martial arts and enhances the power of the soul!
The number of this kind of secret method is small, and it is too profound and mysterious.
Therefore, it is ten times more valuable than martial arts techniques of the same level!
"Thank you, senior, for teaching me."
Chu Tianchen saluted and thanked the old man, his expression and tone were sincere.
On the surface, it seemed that he was forced to learn the star fishing technique and wasted his time helping the old man capture the golden dragon carp.
But in fact, no matter how long it takes, he will make a lot of money if he can obtain such a precious magical power and secret method.
The old man then warned: "You can practice here with peace of mind, while I go to Xianyunting to rest for a few days.
If there is anything you don’t understand or can’t figure out, remember to come to me.”
After saying that, the old man shook his sleeves, turned around and flew away with his hands behind his back.
Chu Tianchen looked in the direction he left and saw the Yuxiao Peak, which was more than a thousand feet high by the lake twenty miles away.
On the cliff halfway up the mountain, there is an antique stone pavilion, half hidden by clouds and pine trees.
There is no doubt that that stone pavilion is the Xianyun Pavilion mentioned by the old man.
Seeing the old man walking away, Chu Tianchen suddenly remembered an important thing and shouted quickly: "Senior, I haven't asked for your title yet?"
"I, Li Xianyun, will be exempted from the honorific title."
Li Xianyun's voice came from afar, and by the time he finished speaking, people had already entered Xianyun Pavilion.
Chu Tianchen withdrew his gaze, sat cross-legged above the water, holding the Qingyun Lingzhu in his right hand, and began to practice the star fishing technique.
The spiritual bamboo lit up with green light again, extending out a blue spiritual power thread.
This time, the spiritual power thread was obviously much thinner, probably only as thick as a noodle.
Although the progress was obvious, Chu Tianchen was not satisfied.
After all, this is still far from the thickness of hair that Li Xianyun said.
As time goes by, the spiritual power threads continue to grow longer, three feet, eight feet, twenty feet, thirty feet...
When the spiritual power thread reached fifty feet, Chu Tianchen felt that it had reached its limit.
No matter how much he activated his spiritual power, he couldn't make the thread grow longer, and the excess spiritual power would just collapse.
After thinking for a moment, he probably guessed the reason.
Therefore, he carefully studied the star fishing technique to make his spiritual power more concentrated and try to make the spiritual power threads thinner.
This move really works.
An hour later, the spiritual power thread became half as thin and truly looked like a thread.
Subsequently, the length of the silk thread continued to increase.
Three hours later, the length of the spiritual power thread released by Chu Tianchen reached one hundred feet.
At this time, he encountered a bottleneck again, and the length of the spiritual power thread could no longer be increased.
He repeated his old tricks, once again carefully understood the essence of the star fishing technique, and worked hard to make the spiritual power threads thinner.
This is very difficult.
It took him two full days to condense the spiritual power threads to the thickness of a hair.
Once you do this, the next thing is easy.
He continuously transferred spiritual power, causing the spiritual power thread as thin as a hair to gradually grow to one hundred and fifty feet, touching the bottom of the lake!
