After hearing this, the big black fish stopped making any sound.
The fish's body trembled from time to time, letting Gu Qingshan and Leng Tianxing understand how much pain it was suffering.
This is almost the punishment of Ling Chi. Even a monster cannot bear such a punishment.
The boatman saw the two people's expressions becoming serious and said, "Don't sympathize with it."
"Why?" Leng Tianxing asked.
"Hehe, can't you see, this demon fish has reached the late stage of divine transformation and is almost ready to be canonized." The boatman laughed.
The two of them were even more surprised.
How is it possible that a monster that was about to be canonized was executed so slowly?
"But why would it-" Leng Tianxing couldn't help but ask.
"Because it couldn't resist its appetite, it devoured five islands in one night. All the creatures on the islands were eaten by it. It ate nearly a hundred thousand humans alone." The boatman interrupted him, Said with a sneer.
The boatman used a knife to cut off the fish piece by piece, and continued: "The Immortal Lord captured it in anger and sealed it. It has to suffer a hundred thousand times of Ling Chi before it can be reincarnated."
The last piece of fish meat was cut off, leaving only the crystal clear fish bones except the head.
The boatman wiped his hands and said, "Today is only the 7351st time, and it's still early for the 100,000th time."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and threw the whole fish into the river.
The bone fish swam on the surface for a while and then sank silently.
Leng Tianxing was heartbroken when he heard it, and praised: "It's no wonder he is the Hundred Flowers Immortal."
The boatman grinned and said, "Stop flattering our Immortal Lord. You can tell what ranking you two want to win now."
Leng Tianxing thought for a moment and said, "I want to try to pick the ancient artifacts category."
The boatman clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful, it is indeed fate. You can get off the boat."
"Disembark?"
Leng Tianxing looked around and saw nothing but the mighty water around except the boat.
The boatman squatted down, picked up a floating and spinning willow branch from the water, and handed it to Leng Tianxing's hand.
"This is the underwater ruins left over from ancient times."
"In the prehistoric era a hundred thousand years ago, there was a decisive battle between the mountain god and the water god here, and they both died here in the end."
"This willow branch can keep you safe. Go down and find some authentic items from the ancient times."
Hearing what the boatman said, Leng Tianxing took the willow branch and pushed his spiritual power into it.
The willow branches stretched out, emitting soft light, gently wrapping Leng Tianxing.
A whirlpool suddenly appeared on the calm water. A huge hand stretched out from the whirlpool, gently held Leng Tianxing, and slowly retracted it.
"It's your turn," the boatman looked at Gu Qingshan, "What kind of list are you here to get?"
Gu Qingshan cupped his fists and saluted, saying: "I'll pick up the sword list."
The boatman looked Gu Qingshan up and down and said, "You don't even have a sword..."
Gu Qingshan smiled bitterly and said: "It was broken during the battle."
"Oh? Broken? How did it become broken?" the boatman asked.
"Everything except the hilt of the sword was shattered into pieces." Gu Qingshan said matter-of-factly.
"Well, let me put it this way, you are not a showman." The boatman's eyes lit up.
He turned around and pushed the boat forward quickly.
"Wait, the sword list is a bit far away. I see that you are injured, so you might as well rest for a while." The boatman said.
"Thank you."
Gu Qingshan sat down on the wooden board, silently adjusted his breath and waited.
He worked hard to adjust his body, accumulate spiritual power, and gradually drive away the fatigue from his body.
Whether they can save Gongsun Zhi and Ning Yuechan depends on whether they can get off the list this time.
Gu Qingshan recalled the legendary experience of Baihua Fairy in his mind. Thinking of Baihua Fairy's actions, he couldn't help but feel a little speechless.
After a while, thick fog gradually appeared on the river.
Something flew towards him and struck the boat in front of Gu Qingshan with a loud sound.
Gu Qingshan opened his eyes.
A sword was thrust in front of him.
In the thick fog, the boatman's figure gradually disappeared.
"Pick up the sword, the test begins." The boatman's voice came from afar.
"Yes." Gu Qingshan took the sword and stood up.
"I will control my cultivation to the middle stage of foundation building," the boatman continued. "Only when you find my position in the thick fog can you qualify for the Sword Picking List."
"Does the test just now count?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"It counts, but the requirements for the sword list are higher - it is swordsmanship after all, and you can't just let people take over the sword list casually."
"Okay." Gu Qingshan sighed.
"Start!" said the boatman.
After he said this sentence, his whole breath suddenly disappeared completely.
Excellent breath-holding technique!
Gu Qingshan praised, raised his hand, and looked at the sword in his hands.
This is a very ordinary long sword. It is made entirely of wrought iron and is easy to hold.
Weapons are divided into sharp weapons, treasure weapons, spiritual weapons, magical weapons, and Taoist weapons according to their sophistication, from low to high.
There are levels above this, but they are rare things that are very difficult for ordinary people to reach.
The long sword in Gu Qingshan's hand is nothing more than a sharp weapon.
Such a sword can only be used casually. When encountering a real enemy, you must always be careful about being compromised by the opponent's weapons.
"Senior, you made a mistake." Gu Qingshan chuckled softly.
No one answered.
Gu Qingshan said slowly: "You shouldn't have given me a sword."
The sword in his hand moved.
With a swing of the sword, it instantly turned into a hundred sword shadows.
Gu Qingshan's sword movement was like a gentle breeze.
Gentle, deft and irresistible.
"Wind Slash!"
He shouted lowly.
All the sword shadows separated and struck the wooden boat.
In an instant, the wooden boat was chopped into pieces, and with the surging spiritual energy in the sword energy, it turned into wind and roared away in the thick fog.
After one strike of the sword, the entire wooden boat disappeared.
Only where Gu Qingshan was standing was a floating wooden plank, still holding him afloat on the river.
There was a low sound of treading water in the distance.
Monks in the middle stage of foundation building, as long as they don't have wind spirit roots, don't have the ability to fly.
Gu Qingshan held the sword and pointed straight at that place.
"Senior, I found you."
The long sword shook, and suddenly a gust of wind blew past.
when! when! when! when! when!
There were dense sounds of parrying.
The characteristic of Feng Zhan is that it is fast. As soon as Gu Qingshan's sword moves, the sword energy directly covers that area, and the opponent cannot even dodge.
There was silence.
After a while, a smiling voice came from the thick fog.
"A clever boy, I like him very much."
Along with these words, violent spiritual energy fluctuations suddenly erupted in that place.
A strong spiritual pressure continued to rise.
Peak of foundation building, golden elixir, peak of golden elixir - this spiritual pressure reached the Nascent Soul realm before slowly stabilizing.
The boatman flew up from the sky and grabbed Gu Qingshan's shoulders: "If you pass the test, follow me to Baihua Palace."
He stretched out his other hand and made a quick gesture.
"Flowers are blooming," the boatman shouted softly.
The next moment, countless runes flashed in the void.
Gu Qingshan glanced at it and felt shocked in his heart.
Even Gongsun Zhi couldn't do this kind of ability to deploy a teleportation array in the air with a wave of his hand without the help of array disks.
Gu Qingshan naturally knew who the person in front of him was, but he shut his mouth tightly and did not dare to say a word.
