Chapter 106: Southbound (1)
Lu Heng was not clear about the worries of the human-faced owl.
Today, he was trying to combine the two disordered forces in the little Gu eagle's body.
After he personally tried and failed once, he confirmed that he could not suppress the integration of the two forces at the same time, and could only barely separate them.
The little Gu Eagle probably couldn't enjoy the benefits like Xiao Ai.
However, the separation of the two disordered forces could stop them from constantly destroying the little Gu eagle's body, so that he could begin to cultivate.
After injecting a wisp of heavenly thunder into the body of the little Gu eagle, Lu Heng began to teach it to cultivate after using the power of heavenly thunder to separate the two forces.
The cultivation methods of the demons were basically all the same.
Human cultivation was different. The human race's cultivation methods were greatly distinct from each other, and their cultivation speed was different as well, but they were all faster than demon cultivation.
Of course, there were shortcomings in human cultivation. The greatest of these was that human longevity was extremely short. Only by constantly breaking through to a higher level could lifespan be continuously increased.
If one was stuck in a state where he or she couldn't break through, they'd have to simply fade away after running out of lifespan.
The cultivation speed of demonic cultivation is very slow, but the advantage is that their longevity is extremely long. Normally, as long as you step into cultivation, the minimum longevity of a demonic cultivator is 1000 years.
With a thousand years of life, as long as there was no disaster or chaos, and so long as one cultivated carefully, one could almost be regarded as a big demon.
Although it also depended on talent, understanding, and chance to reach a higher level, it was still a blessing that most humans couldn't hope to have - a thousand years of life.
According to Lu Heng's understanding, human cultivators we're like those salesmen in his previous life. The higher the performance, the higher the salary, which greatly tested personal ability. Talented people could soar to the sky in a short time.
While the demon cultivators have ordinary salaries, their cultivation is more stable. After cultivating for a certain number of years, you will achieve something.
Lu Heng can't judge the advantages between the two, nor is it necessary to judge which is better or worse.
After all, his method of cultivation is different from that of human cultivation and demon cultivation. The common sense of the cultivation world doesn't work here.
After taking back his right hand and seeing that little Gu eagle had started to cultivate, Lu Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In this way, I can be regarded as having kept the river god's trust."
In front of him, the little Gu Eagle huddled and slowly breathed the spirit Qi in the air.
Although the speed of its cultivation was much slower than that of Lu Heng or even Xiao Ai, it was an excellent start.
In the future, Lu Heng may be able to completely cure the disease in the little Gu Eagle's body after he takes a further step in his cultivation, so that the disordered energies in the little Gu eagle's body could be integrated into a ball, like Xiao Ai's.
However, at present, Lu Heng could only use some heavenly thunder to stabilize the little Gu eagle's internal condition, and he needed to inject new heavenly thunder every once in a while to replenish it.
Because Lu Heng's treatment of the little Gu eagle was different from that of Xiao Ai's.
When Lu Heng treated Xiao Ai, what he injected into Xiao Ai's body was the foundation of his own Tao cultivation, which could be preserved forever, similar to the experience level of in the games he played in his previous life.
Now what little Gu Eagle had in his body was just a ray of sky thunder separated by Lu Heng. It was similar to mana value and needed to be replenished from time to time.
This was also the reason why Lu Heng wanted to take the little Gu eagle with him.
On the other hand, seeing that Lu Heng had finished, Huo Feng smiled and said, "Lord Wolf God, look at the back of our boat. A group of fish has followed us since just now. It seems that they can't wait to fly into the pot and be boiled."
"Oh? Really?" Lu Heng walked to the stern of the boat curiously. As expected, he saw a group of fish floating in the water behind the boat, always following the boat down the river.
Moreover, the species of the fish were not the same, and there were many kinds. Catfish, carp, grass carp, perch… there were all kinds of fish of different sizes, enough to complete a fish market.
In Lu Heng's view, all the fish in the water were swimming in the water, trying to squeeze into the boat out of fear of being left behind by the boat, which amused Lu Heng.
Obviously, these fish were driven by the river god with her divine power.
Now, sitting at the stern of the boat, Huo Feng could even reach into the water to catch a fresh and fat live fish.
Looking at this scene, Lu Heng smiled and said, "It seems that we can have fish soup tonight."
He wanted to fish for dinner last night, but he caught a Gu eagle instead. He could finally have a taste of the river fish tonight.
At this time, on the river, large ships passed by their vicinity from time to time.
Although the ships on the Pangjiang river were not as prosperous as those on the rivers in Lu Heng's previous life, in this world where monsters ran rampant, this amount of water transportation could be named lively.
All the ships passing by, no matter how big or small, were surprised to find the strangeness of Lu Heng's boat.
This small boat was not big, and its shape was very rough, but it was followed by a dense school of fish at the stern. The appearance of the flock of fish surging and following was astonishing to passers-by.
But apart from that, no one came to find fault.
When you go out, it's better to do less than do more. After seeing the strangeness of the boat, except for a few words of surprise, all the ship captains would tell the boatman to steer away from the small boat.
Business travelers always try to avoid stirring up trouble, as a general rule.
At night, Huo Feng steered the boat away from the turbulent Pangjiang River and into a tributary of the Pangjiang River system.
The water flowing into the tributary was slightly calm, and the water depth was only more than 3 meters.
Huo Feng took out the bamboo basket used as the anchor of the boat, filled it with stones, and then sank the bamboo basket to the bottom of the river so the boat doesn't float away.
Then he took out the charcoal and iron pot from the cabin and began to cook the fish.
After the boat sailed into the tributary, all the fish followed.
Huo Feng went to the stern of the boat, squatted on the deck, and carefully selected for a while. Finally, he selected a fat and fresh crucian carp. He took it to the deck to open its belly, take out its internal organs and remove the blood. Then he threw the fresh river fish into the pot.
Soon, the fish soup became thick and white, and the fragrance was wafting.
Lu Heng, Xiao Ai and Huo Feng were all sitting on the deck, looking forward to the fresh fish soup.
This was the first bite of cooked fish that Lu Heng had eaten since he woke up in this world. Therefore, he was looking forward to it.
The little Gu eagle was not interested in this. He flew directly to the stern of the ship, then landed on the deck with a perch in his mouth, and continued to peck at the perch with his beak, making a dull sound.
The dark sky shrouded the earth.
And the fire of the boat in the river was dimly lit in the dark. From time to time, there was a sound of laughter, and the atmosphere was harmonious and happy.
