A world that blots out the sky, by the river.

Just as Li Qingshan tossed a struggling crucian carp into the bucket, he suddenly received a faint feedback from his fingertips.

He raised an eyebrow and opened his palm.

A new object silently appeared in his palm: a crystal the size of a pigeon egg, red and translucent, with what appeared to be flowing magma inside.

It was the "Crimson Flame Spirit Crystal" that Lu Ming had presented.

He held the ore, which still contained a faint trace of the "true essence of fire" from that world, and examined it closely, a slight smirk creeping onto his lips.

"Crimson Flame Spirit Crystal...this thing..."

In the eyes of this "fisherman" who possessed a perfected holy body and various divine materials from all the heavens and myriad worlds, the energy level of this ore was pitifully low, and the so-called "true meaning of fire" contained within it was even more crude and shallow.

Normally, he wouldn't even bother to glance at it.

but……

He weighed the warm crystal in his hand, a hint of amusement creeping into his eyes.

"I never expected that the first one to 'take the bait' would be such a kid."

"Good eyesight, quick-witted, and most importantly... decisive."

In an atmosphere where everyone is trying to "take by force" or "test," it is remarkable that someone can break free from conventional thinking, view the "anomaly" as something that requires "interaction with rules," and be willing to bring out their most treasured possessions to verify an almost absurd conjecture.

Such observation, comprehension, and courage were rare even in his low-level martial arts world.

"Let's just consider it... spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones."

Li Qingshan smiled indifferently.

The wisp of starlight bait essence he provided, though less than one millionth of the entire bait mass, was a drop in the ocean for him.

However, the essence of the sacred body's blood and qi and the innate life force of the Star Immortal Fruit Tree contained within are of extremely high quality.

Furthermore, it incorporates a modified, weakened version of the "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force" basic body tempering concept, which is nothing short of a transformative opportunity for cultivators in that world.

"That's more than enough for that kid to enjoy. With a solid foundation, he's a Martial Saint in the future, and with a bit of luck, it's not impossible for him to even reach the threshold of the Human Immortal realm in that world."

"Hopefully, that 'fishpond' will bring me some decent results later on, instead of just scraps all the time."

He casually tossed the Crimson Flame Spirit Crystal into the inner lining of the "Sky-Covering" black robe, piling it together with the Creation Ship and other items.

Although this thing has a low energy level, it is still a product from another world. Its material and the traces of rules it contains are worth studying. Let's keep it for now.

After doing all this, Li Qingshan gripped the Sky-Catching Pole again and looked back at the floating buoy on the river.

The "window" in the Yangshen world has been opened, and the rules have been initially established. Now, all that remains is to wait for more "willing individuals to take the bait."

He adjusted his posture, becoming more relaxed, and even closed his eyes slightly.

One part of his mind continued to pay attention to the feedback from the Yang God Beacon, while the other part sank into his body to continue deducing and integrating his "Microparticle Divine Treasury" path.

The river breeze remains the same, and the water is calm.

He was like a true, unassuming angler, quietly connecting with another world on this ordinary riverbank, and honing his own path that transcended the norms of this world.

......

Days passed by silently, one after another, year after year.

The willows along the riverbank turned yellow and then green again, then green and then yellow again.

Ye Fan's figure, carrying a small schoolbag to school, gradually transformed into a boy riding a bicycle at breakneck speed, and then into a tall, handsome young man dragging a suitcase and boarding a train to a distant university.

On the train platform, Mr. and Mrs. Ye's fine lines around their eyes were deeper, and they had a few more gray hairs at their temples, but looking at their son's spirited appearance, their smiles were full of relief and reluctance.

Li Qingshan also went to see him off, still dressed in that inconspicuous black clothes, standing at the edge of the crowd, watching Ye Fan wave goodbye with a gentle look in his eyes.

"Uncle Li, when I come back from my holiday, I'll go fishing with you again!"

Ye Fan shouted through the car window.

"Okay, but don't let it end up being a 'blame-drop' situation again!"

Li Qingshan smiled and waved.

The train sounded its whistle and slowly pulled away.

The crowd on the platform gradually dispersed.

Mother Ye wiped her eyes and said to Li Qingshan, "Qingshan, thank you for taking care of Xiaofan all these years. He has bothered you quite a bit."

"Not at all, Xiao Yezi is very sensible."

Li Qingshan waved his hand, "Take care of yourselves too!"

"Hey, you too, living alone, be careful~~"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they each went home.

......

Li Qingshan returned to his old house by the river, closed the door, and the world fell silent once more.

For the next few years, his life seemed to remain unchanged.

Fishing, collecting "goods," and deducing techniques.

Ye Fan went to university, graduated, and got a good job. He was busy and would occasionally come back to visit, bringing gifts and telling him about the outside world.

Ye's parents were getting older, but they were still in good health and often invited Li Qingshan over for meals.

Li Qingshan would visit every time, bringing fish he caught or some delicious "local specialties" he had somehow acquired, and chat with the elderly couple, listening to them reminisce about their daily lives.

In their eyes, he was always that somewhat mysterious, but kind-hearted, highly skilled fisherman, and ageless neighbor and old friend.

Only when the night is deep and quiet, and I sit alone in the house.

A tremendous change is taking place within Li Qingshan's body.

In the Sea of ​​Bitterness, the many divine marks that were once suspended are now few and far between.

The cyan sword-shaped star of the Grass Character Sword Technique completely merged into his right arm, and countless particles were lit up from his shoulder blade to his fingertips.

Each particle is like a miniature peerless immortal sword, usually dormant, but once activated, the entire arm becomes a torrent of swords that can cut through anything.

The life essence and starlight Daoist rhyme of the Star Immortal Fruit Tree were evenly dispersed into the particles of his limbs and bones, causing his blood and qi to recover at an abnormally fast rate, with vitality as boundless as the starry sea.

The imprint of the Void Immortal Gold was mainly incorporated into the particles of his legs and torso, allowing him to reach the ultimate level of spatial perception and affinity.

Combined with the "Sky-Shielding Net," the ability to conceal and move around is further enhanced.

The imprints of immortal gold fragments such as Dao Tribulation Gold and Eternal Blue Gold strengthened the corresponding particles in the bones and internal organs, further increasing the strength of the physical body.

The core mysteries of "particle awakening" and "suppression and refining" from the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force are like a sophisticated network that integrates all the particles illuminated by the divine object, forming a powerful system that belongs to him and carries the traces of the Dao of the heavens with particles from the inner universe.

That night, the moonlight was as clear as water.

Li Qingshan sat cross-legged on the living room floor of the old house, without any radiant or unusual phenomena around him.

However, if an emperor-level figure were here and observed with his divine eye, he would be horrified to discover that of the 840 million physical particles in his body, more than a million have now been completely illuminated and transformed by different divine objects and Daoist principles!

Millions of particles, like millions of miniature stars, slowly moved within his body along mysterious trajectories, resonating with each other to form a stable and powerful internal circulation.

Although, relative to the total number, a million is just the beginning.

But the overall improvement brought about by these millions of "divine particles" is a qualitative change!
