When the Nine Supremes had gathered back then, Supreme Earth had once said that while Supreme Water’s physique matched the Nine Heavens Demesne, it was still not the best.
One day, the group realized with surprise that Supreme Water’s cultivation speed had become one of the fastest among them, upon his return.
Supreme Earth wondered about this, even asking Supreme Water what had happened.
Supreme Water could not explain it either, only mentioning that he had gone fishing at the Thousand Feet Lake out of frustration that his cultivation improvement could not keep up. He ate a few fish that he caught and did not notice any changes. However, when he had cultivated the Water Pneuma Spell, it was unusually smooth – almost as if the Water Pneuma Spell had been made for him. He did not need much effort and had already improved by leaps and bounds.
The few of them had even gone to the Thousand Feet Lake to catch fish in an attempt to emulate the effect. After all, the only unusual occurrence was that Supreme Water had eaten a few of the Thousand Feet Lake’s fish.
It was a pity that they had caught so many fish, almost emptying the lake of them, eating to the point of bloated stomachs but there was no other effect other than getting fatter together.
In the end, they gave up their attempts.
Supreme Earth’s fishing habit had been formed ever since then.
Supreme Earth, Supreme Water, and Supreme Thunder had the highest cultivation base among the brothers but with regards to their mystical cultivation, Supreme Water was clearly in the lead.
As Yun Yang reminisced, another memory came to the surface.
About two years ago, Supreme Earth had come back from fishing and had called upon Supreme Water mysteriously, offering him some fish.
Ever since then, Supreme Water’s mystical cultivation had improved at an unprecedented speed, gliding along and breaking through to the Water Pneuma Spell’s seventh stage!
That was three to four stages higher than the other brothers.
However, everyone was only happy for him and did not think too much about it.
It was then that Supreme Earth would come here to fish whenever he had no mission or had nothing to do.

Could it be that this is what makes big brother come here to fish whenever he’s free?

Yun Yang began to come to the realization within his heart.

Old sir, since no one else had discovered this peculiarity of the lake, how did you find out about it?
Yun Yang asked curiously.

There was this old man that came to Tiantang City several years ago and… ahem… spotted the Thousand Feet Lake by chance and saw that there was a faint rainbow there. I came down to fish. On my first cast, I caught the Seven-Scaled Fairy and ate it with delight.

The old man’s smile was slightly unnatural when he spoke.
His words would probably be heard and dismissed by most people but Yun Yang had caught on to two main points.
Spotted the Thousand Feet Lake by chance!
What did he mean by spotted?
The Thousand Feet Lake was flat with no platform, where did you spot it from? How exactly did you spot it?
There was also the point where he had come down to fish.
Where did you come down to fish from?
However, Yun Yang did not let anything slip as he smiled and said,
Legend has it that after eating the Seven-Scaled Fairy, one could become immortal and stay forever young. I wonder if that is true.

The elder scoffed,
That’s only the myth of foolish villagers to pass their time, how is it credible? There’s nothing in this world that could make one immortal and forever young!

Yun Yang continued asking curiously,
May I ask senior then what are the benefits of eating a Seven-Scaled Fairy? Senior has caught one previously by chance so I suppose you must be familiar with its benefits.

The elder took a meaningful glance at him and said,
The human body matches the destined yin and yang of the universe, as well as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, all five elements. These types of physiques allow one to defy the law of nature. However, those who know of this theory is rare and there are few in this world.


Most people in this world won’t know what physique they have their entire life, wasting the sacred human body. Among these physiques, there’s a type called the Water Pneuma Soma. In simpler words, it’s the body of water, water physique.


Water physique is not actually that rare. A lot of people who learn swimming faster than others, who swim faster or don’t feel any difficulty diving, those who can change their breath underwater or feel perfectly fine staying in the water for long periods at a time – these are what we called water physique. They are innately familiar with water.

The elder continued softly,
But this is only the most general state. To improve such physique to Water Pneuma Physique, one needed to undergo harsh conditioning and plenty of life threatening efforts… yet it still might not succeed.


However, if one could be assisted with the Seven-Scaled Fairy in this lake…
The old man seemed to despise the name ‘Seven-Scaled Fairy’ but he continued,
Only eating one of this fish could activate all the potential a water physique person possesses, turning them into the real Water Pneuma Soma!


This is the fish’s special effect. Even if a person without water physique eats it, they would notice that they will be as at ease as being at home, there is no need to be afraid of ever being drowned.

Yun Yang hesitated before asking,
What If it is being eaten by someone of other physiques?

The elder frowned, rather put off by the question.
Eaten by someone with other physiques? This effect will still take place when people of other physique eat the fish but the effect isn’t significant. For example, wood physique would benefit from eating the fish because water nourishes wood but if gold and earth physique eat the fish, there wouldn’t be any effect. Even worse, if a fire physique eats the fish, it would damage their own physique; water and fire being incompatible as it is.

Yun Yang lowered his head, feeling his heart warmed.
The eldest Supreme Earth had not come here to fish frequently for himself, it was all for his brother Supreme Water.
He had fished here without fail for so many years as long as they had no mission, just so his brother could increase his ability after eating this fish!

What if someone were to eat two Seven-Scaled Fairies?
Yun Yang questioned without missing a beat, feeling his heart throbbing with strange emotions.
The old man looked at Yun Yang strangely.
This old man has only managed to fish one in so many years, I already count that a blessing. You actually want to eat two?

Yun Yang chuckled in awkwardness.
The world is never constant, you can’t predict what happens next. Who could say anything for sure about this, there’s always the possibility.

Another idea popped in his mind as he thought of his physique now and the air of vitality. He could not help but ask,
Is this fish considered a mystical beast?

This question stumped the elder as well. He froze for a bit and thought about it for a fair while before saying,
I’m not entirely sure about this.
He then looked at Yun Yang, studying him from head to toe and chuckled.
However, if you eat this fish, it just might be useful for you.

Yun Yang was delighted.
Am I of Water Pneuma Soma?

The old man chortled strangely and said,
You’re definitely not Water Pneuma Soma but you can eat the fish. Trust me, it will be useful if you eat it.
His gaze was grew increasingly odd as he finally smiled an amused smile.
Because your physique shares yin and yang, having both sides of the world and all five elements. Your physique actually gathers all the different types of physique men could possibly have!

Yun Yang breathed in relief.
Well, I’m glad to know that my physique is so impressive.

The old man could not hold his laughter in anymore.
It is impressive indeed. This old man has never known that such a physique like your own exists in this world. Your physique is certainly unparalleled in this world!

Yun Yang did not really care for the old man’s tone, but his curiousity was piqued, nonetheless.
Really?


Really.
The elder smiled strangely.
Your physique is unparalleled among the world’s… rubbish!


Water and fire flows together, wind and thunder merges into one; yin and yang melts into each other with all five elements present; the heaven and earth matches. Your physique… it’s like the Milky Way!

The elder could not help but guffaw out loud.
Your characteristics are more than the stars in the sky, just like the mess that makes up the Milky Way.

He was still rambling in his explanation.
Yun Yang was exasperated, his handsome face darkening like the bottom of a burnt pot.
Looking at this old man who was chortling in delight with his tongue still rambling, he felt terribly insulted.
I offered such a fine wine to you and you actually mock me like this. Don’t you have the courtesy to moderate your speech?
How he wished to dig into the man’s body and pull all the wine out.
Give me back my wine!
Give me back my Prime of Wine, the superior item of dreams!

Alright, alright. We have talked a fair bit and much time has passed. We better concentrate on fishing.
The elder strolled back.
If this period of the year passes, we won’t get to catch your so-called Seven-Scaled Fairy anymore…

An idea bloomed in Yun Yang’s mind as he said,
Old sir, what do you think of a bet?

The old man turned and raised his eyebrows.
Bet? What do we bet on?

Yun Yang replied,
Since we are where we are, the bet must be on fishing. Let us bet on catching this Seven-Scaled Fairy. How about that?

The elder looked at him thoughtfully and chuckled.

Child, I guess you know who I am?

Yun Yang smiled unabashedly.
I didn’t, initially.

The old man snorted.
Didn’t know initially?! If you really didn’t know, would you have brandished such fine wine? Using all sorts of tactics so that this old man could notice you then provoking me and using the wine to make peace. Talking about life and going about it step by step, all the way until the point where you make a bet with this old man.


A pot of the Prime of Wine is not something an ordinary person could offer so nonchalantly, but you’ve used it only to open the door.


Why would you go through all this effort if you have nothing to ask for? Since you have an ulterior motive, how would you know if I could fulfill it not without knowing who I am? Child, don’t be glib!

Yun Yang smiled.
Don’t be angry. Of course I have a favor to ask, as you have guessed. I, Yun Yang, as a man of beauty of my time, am not stupid.

The elder frowned as he mumbled,
This old man feels that he has just fallen into a trap…
