Cultivation is always boring and tedious.
But if you can feel your progress every moment, that is a very interesting thing.
Just like Lu Yu at this moment, every time he uses the "Violent Rain and Furious Wind", he can feel that his understanding of it has increased by a fraction.
After a quarter of an hour, he had cultivated the "Violent Rain and Furious Wind" to the Lesser Completion Realm.
Feeling that his internal energy was almost depleted, Lu Yu stopped his cultivation.
“Whew! That feels good!”
Lu Yu let out a light breath, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
“But the consumption is really big. My internal energy has been almost drained in just a while. I should recover my internal energy first.”
Sitting cross-legged, the "Divine Wind Strength" ran in his Dantian, Lu Yu seemed to have merged into the wind, giving people a sense of trance.
After about half an hour, he opened his eyes, his internal energy completely recovered.
Stretching, Lu Yu thought to himself: “Start fishing, I want to break through to the Second-Rate Completion Realm today!”
If anyone else knew his thoughts, they would probably think he was daydreaming.
After all, he had just broken through to the Second-Rate Peak yesterday.
But from the moment Lu Yu started practicing until now, it has been less than three days.
In three days, he went from a complete novice to a Second-Rate Peak, his cultivation speed was so astonishing that there might be no one else in the entire martial arts world who could match him.
Of course, Lu Yu could also feel that his cultivation speed was slowing down.
To be more precise, his breakthrough speed was slowing down.
After all, every time he cultivated, his internal energy growth was still very fast.
It’s just that the higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it becomes, and the more time it naturally takes.
As night fell, Lu Yu put away his fishing rod and prepared to go home.
And just as he had hoped, the afternoon of fishing had allowed him to officially break through to the Second-Rate Completion Realm.
Lu Yu looked at the Xi Liang River in the setting sun, muttering to himself: "I'll ask Uncle Ge for a boat sometime, go night fishing in the middle of the river, then get some snacks, brew a pot of hot wine.
If I catch fish, just cook a pot of fish soup or grill it, just thinking about it makes me feel comfortable."
Thinking about this, Lu Yu was even more excited.
But it was too sudden today, he wasn’t prepared, so he had to go ask Uncle Ge for a boat later.
Carrying a fish basket full of fish, Lu Yu turned back to his house.
Upon arriving home, Lu Yu didn’t idle around, he took out the fish he caught during the day and the leftover vegetables at home, preparing to make himself a grilled fish.
If it were before, he might not have been able to do it.
But after obtaining the "Dissecting Ox Sword Technique", it also came with many recipes, the various seasonings needed for grilling fish, Lu Yu could find alternatives in this era from the recipes.
This world is a fictional comprehensive martial arts world, so it's not the same as ancient China, all kinds of spices are readily available.
So, it’s not difficult to eat this grilled fish.
Not long after, the aroma of grilled fish wafted out from the kitchen.
“So fragrant.”
Lu Yu sniffed, his appetite whetted.
After a busy day, finally comforting his soul with delicious food, it truly is one of life's greatest pleasures.
Just as Lu Yu was about to eat, Uncle Ge from next door was attracted by the scent.
“Little Yu, what are you eating? So fragrant?”
Uncle Ge asked curiously.
“I made some grilled fish.”
Lu Yu answered.
“Grilled fish? Can grilled fish be this fragrant?”
Uncle Ge was very puzzled.
He had been fishing for a lifetime and had eaten a lot of grilled fish, why didn't it have this fragrance.
When he came in and took a look, he realized that the grilled fish Lu Yu was talking about was completely different from the grilled fish he understood.
Ordinary grilled fish is just placed over a fire and grilled, then brushed with some salt.
But Lu Yu’s is different.
After grilling, he added a lot of spicy and aromatic ingredients, as well as many side dishes.
“Uncle, do you want to join me? I made a bit too much.”
Lu Yu smiled and invited.
“Alright. My wife hasn’t come back yet, I was just thinking about making something to eat myself.”
Upon hearing this, Uncle Ge didn’t stand on ceremony and sat down directly.
Their families were close, there was really no need to be polite.
Moreover, he was also very interested in this so-called grilled fish.
After taking a bite of the fish, Uncle Ge showed a look of surprise.
“Delicious, delicious! You kid are a genius, you can make such delicious fish. It's fragrant and spicy, and it’s a bit numb.
You should teach your aunt sometime, let her learn a bit. Otherwise, for all these years, she only knows how to cook a few dishes."
Uncle Ge said as he ate.
“Alright.”
“Wait a minute, I'll get some wine, let's have a drink, you and I.”
“Okay.”
Soon, Uncle Ge came back.
He didn't bring any good wine, it was homemade rice wine, slightly sweet, not bad.
The two of them chatted, ate and drank, quickly finishing all the grilled fish.
“By the way, I want to talk to you about something, Uncle.”
Lu Yu suddenly said.
“What is it?”
“Can I borrow your fishing boat tonight, I want to go night fishing.”
He didn't intend to ask Uncle Ge to borrow a boat today, but since he was here, he might as well ask.
“Borrow the boat? No problem. But if you go out at night, you have to be careful. Although there are no river pirates on the Xi Liang River, it’s cold at night, you’re prone to catching a cold.”
Upon hearing this, Uncle Ge immediately agreed.
“Thank you, Uncle!”
“Don't be so polite with me. Speaking of which, when I first saw you, you were still a little baby, your dad was holding you, you looked so cute. It’s hard to believe you’ve grown up so much.
You and your father really looked alike when he was young. But you’re much more handsome than him. Your mother must have been very beautiful.”
Perhaps because he had drunk a bit, Uncle Ge suddenly began reminiscing about the past.
But at his age, it’s normal to like reminiscing.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's heart moved.
“Uncle, have you seen my mother?”
“No. Your father took you and settled down in Qi Xia Town back then. I also asked your father about your mother before, but he didn’t say anything, just remained silent.
Later on, I thought about introducing someone to him, but he didn’t want to.
In my opinion, your father must have loved your mother very much, that's why he didn't want to remarry.
But I can also see that your father seems to have some resentment towards your mother.
Sigh, although I haven't read books, I know how to judge people.
When I first met your father, his aura, the clothes he wore, clearly showed that he wasn’t an ordinary person, but later he gradually became depressed, more like a fisherman than me.”
Lu Yu was surprised to hear this.
In his impression, Lu Shan has always been a fisherman, but listening to Uncle Ge’s words, it seems that he was not like that before.
“Do you know anything about my father's past?”
Uncle Ge shook his head first, then thought of something and said: “I don't know, but maybe your Uncle Mu knows something.”
“Uncle Mu?”
Lu Yu was stunned.
“Yes, the person who originally lived in the empty house next door. But you probably forgot, that guy left ten years ago, he said he was going to find his wife and children, I don’t know if he found them.
Your father saved his life back then.”
