Family Cultivation: I Farm and Raise Fish under the Sea

```

At night, all was silent.

By the coast, Lu Li dove headfirst into the sea, transformed into a sea turtle, and slowly swam toward the seabed.

It wasn't long before he arrived above the seabed riverbed.

He had explored the deep sea countless times before, and everything around him was very familiar.

He found his direction and navigated through the colorful seaweed and rocks, skillfully swimming forward.

Nearby underwater creatures that sensed his presence all kept their distance.

Several hours later, he came to the sea area near Golden Qilin Island, about five hundred miles away.

Lu Li dived into a familiar undersea passage and swam toward deeper waters.

As he swam, he surveyed his surroundings where the seaweed and shrimp were noticeably larger.

In the water, he could clearly feel strands of cool Spiritual Energy.

From nearby came the sound of "whoosh whoosh" as countless underwater currents collided in a symphony around him.

Past this dividing line, Lu Li became more cautious.

He quietly began his exploration of the deep sea.

Before long, he suddenly noticed a light flashing a few hundred meters ahead.

"There's something!" he thought to himself and stealthily swam towards the source of the light.

Soon, he reached the place where the light originated.

"A high-quality Ice Spirit Fruit."

Lu Li picked the Spirit Fruit, feeling the compelling Spiritual Energy and the threads of coolness emitting from it, his face brimming with joy.

It was unexpected to find such a significant discovery so soon after setting out to sea.

It seemed that his luck today was not bad at all.

After collecting the Spirit Fruit, he continued swimming deeper into the sea.

Time slowly passed by.

The search lasted several more hours.

Apart from finding six or seven Spirit Fruits, there were just some ordinary Mystic Iron Ores.

Lu Li leisurely swam near a red rock when he thought that was all he would get today, suddenly a surge of Demon Energy came from the front.

He took a careful look and saw a huge monkey-shaped Demon Beast charging towards him; it had clearly already spotted him.

"Roar roar roar..."

The Demon Ape, holding a black rod in its hands, looked ferocious, with blood-red eyes and an intimidating evil aura emanating from its entire body.

"Qi Cultivation level nine, Evil-eyed Water Ape!" Lu Li tensed up at the sense of the Demon Ape's formidable presence.

He did not dare to be careless and immediately released Iron Pillar.

"Ow..." A satisfied, piercing scream rang out as a giant python as thick as a barrel and several meters tall appeared in the depths of the sea.

Iron Pillar had clearly been stifled in the Spiritual Beast Bag and was not afraid at all upon seeing the Demon Ape, immediately swishing its tail and dashing forward.

"Boom rumble..." As the Demon Ape saw another giant python appear, it grew even more furious and without hesitation collided head-on with the python.

With a loud collision sound, the deep sea currents surged frantically.

Rocks around them were swept away in disarray.

Lu Li lay quietly on the seabed, waiting for an opportunity to act.

Although the Demon Ape had a higher cultivation level, Iron Pillar, being a Demon Beast King, did not show any sign of weakness.

The two fought on equal footing.

Lu Li observed their battle and furrowed his brow.

Iron Pillar still lacked combat experience and was merely relying on brute strength to fight the Demon Ape. Even so, it gradually gained the upper hand.

"Ow ow..." The Evil-eyed Water Ape roared fiercely and lifted the black iron rod in its hand to smash it down hard on Iron Pillar.

Iron Pillar did not panic and met the attack head-on.

With a great surge of strength, it swung its tail at the Demon Ape.

"Boom rumble..." The surrounding seawater began to churn violently, and the Demon Ape couldn't help but retreat backward.

Iron Pillar clearly had the advantage in this strike.

```

Lu Li's heart steadied, and he quietly readied his Flying Sword, preparing to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

At this moment, the Demon Ape grew even more furious, its Demon Energy wildly dispersing as it charged toward Iron Pillar with another roar.

The two deep-sea giants clashed again, scaring away nearby creatures in a frenzied escape.

"Eh…"

Lu Li was somewhat surprised. Did the Water Ape not know to flee?

Time slowly passed, and both Demon Beasts' momentum began to wane.

Just as the Demon Ape was exhausted and yet to recover, he decisively made his move.

"Sizzle…"

A dazzling beam of light appeared suddenly in the depths of the sea, as if heralding the dawn of creation.

Even the water surrounding the sword's tip was cleaved, as it carried a domineering force towards the enormous ape.

Lu Li directly employed the secret Sword technique "Sword Light Fusion."

"Roar…"

The gigantic ape seemed to sense the impending threat of death, and with great effort, it mustered a sliver of energy to swing its colossal rod toward the sword.

"Crack!"

With a crisp snap, the Black Iron Rod was split in two instantly.

Then, with unrelenting force, the sword light continued towards the Demon Ape's neck.

The Demon Ape's eyes flashed with fear and reluctance as it watched the Flying Sword approach, powerless to stop it.

"Ah!"

The Flying Sword struck, and a distressing shriek echoed through the deep sea as the Demon Ape's head soared skyward.

The surrounding water was dyed a deep red.

Lu Li retrieved the Flying Sword and swam forward to collect the Water Ape's body into the refining demon pot.

Then, with some reluctance from Iron Pillar, he also packed it away.

This time, Iron Pillar had made substantial contributions; otherwise, Lu Li alone would not have been able to kill the Water Ape in the deep sea.

With one man and one beast, the target was too large in the seabed, and despite Iron Pillar's resistance, it had no choice but to comply.

Lu Li continued to swim forward.

Before long, he arrived at a dark cave entrance.

The cave was several zhang in radius, surrounded by water plants and quite concealed.

"Eh, there's still a faint trace of Demon Energy lingering here."

"Could it be the cave of that giant ape?"

Just as he was ready to enter and have a look, a "zzt zzt" sound suddenly reached his ears.

The sound was mournful, as if several young beasts were crying.

Lu Li extended his Divine Sense and discovered two smaller Water Apes lying in the depths of the Water Mansion, shivering.

Their eyes were full of fear as they stared at the cave entrance, evidently, they had heard their mother's wail.

Lu Li charged in and took control of the two young Water Apes before securing them in the Spiritual Beast Bag.

He also instructed Iron Pillar not to harm the two youngsters.

These two young Water Apes could still fetch a tidy sum in the market.

As second-tier bloodline Demon Beasts, Evil-eyed Water Apes were naturally powerful in water.

There was a chance that when the young beasts grew up, they could break through to Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts and awaken their Innate Divine Ability, "Evil Eye," which was quite extraordinary.

Of course, they were nothing compared to his Green Spirit Python, so he had no plans to tame these two little ones.

After securing the young beasts, Lu Li began to search the Water Mansion.

Soon, he made some discoveries.

In the back of the Water Mansion, several Ice Spirit Fruits radiated a faint spiritual light.

On the side, there were some peculiar ores, presumably collected by the giant ape.

Now all belonged to Lu Li.

He swiftly gathered the Spirit Fruits and ores, and swam out of the Water Mansion.

He continued along the riverbed, not daring to go too deep; encountering a Qi Cultivation perfection could prove very dangerous.

Lu Li swam along, quite pleased with his haul.

Just as he was tallying his bounty, a strong surge of Demon Energy came from ahead.

Lu Li's heart tightened, and just as he was about to release Iron Pillar, a thought suddenly surged through the refining demon pot.

"Pan Shi, little brother, where have you been these past few months? Big brother has had a hard time looking for you!"

"Even the ancestors are worried about you, continuously sending people out to find you!"
