Longevity begins with whale hunting

"This is..."

The fear faded, and Bai Xuan's heart was filled with surprise.

"What a familiar tree!"

Bai Xuan had an impression in his mind.

In his previous life, when he traveled through time, he had just found a bronze tree covered with verdigris from the antique market. It was said to be dug out from the bottom of the Yellow Sea.

Judging from the exquisite workmanship, Bai Xuan thought it was either from the Shang and Zhou dynasties or last week, and maybe it was just dug out from a factory that was clearing out inventory.

Now it seems...

"This tree is actually real."

Bai Xuan calmed down and didn't rush to add any more.

He glanced around and saw that the sailors around him were all tired, shouting and talking, and walked down the deck in twos and threes.

No one looked at Bai Xuan, as if they had never seen the immortal tree.

"Only I can see it. It seems that this is the golden finger of my travel through time in this life."

Bai Xuan took a deep breath, his expression normal, and walked down the cabin.

...

In the evening.

The fishermen had all eaten, and they used a big pot on the boat to steam fish and shrimp, and soaked dry food in hot water, just to deal with a quick meal.

Bai Xuan had worked too hard during the day, but now his belly was full.

Although these fish, shrimps and dry food were not delicious, mainly because the seasoning was too poor and lacked spices, they were fresh fish after all, so they were not bad.

After eating and drinking, a heat rose from his stomach.

"Man is iron, and food is steel. It is true that you have to eat enough to have strength."

"Just now, when I was eating, I learned that the demon fish is a very common kind of monster in this chaotic sea. Some hide in fishing nets and wait for an opportunity to bite people. Some even climb onto the boat in the middle of the night and drag people into the water..."

The old sailor on the boat didn't know what the origin was, but he only knew that martial arts could resist the demon fish.

"To resist such danger, you must have the power to protect yourself."

Bai Xuan felt a sense of urgency in his heart. He returned to his cabin and concentrated his mind. Suddenly, the immortal tree reappeared.

He was thoughtful and considered that if he did it directly outside, there might be some strange phenomena. The mates on the ship were all masters and shrewd people. If they were noticed, there would be risks.

Therefore, he called him out when he returned to the cabin. As soon as he thought about it, an inexplicable mysterious breath immediately flowed into the branch representing "fisherman".

In an instant -

Spores quickly grew on the branch, and a green leaf was pulled out.

At the same time, Bai Xuan felt that his whole body suddenly tightened, his arms became hot, and the hard work of the day disappeared in just a few breaths, instead, the muscles bulged slightly.

Clenching his fists, power suddenly emerged!

"So that's it!"

When Bai Xuan looked at it intently, it seemed that there were faint veins on the leaf, with power surging, and two ancient small seal characters appeared, which were the two words "trawling net".

"Trawling net (entry)."

Not only that.

Bang!

Bai Xuan stood still and exerted a little force.

The force used to trawle the net is to step on the deck with both feet, exert force from the legs, the spine, the back, and even the contraction of the muscles in the front chest, forming a whole.

At this moment, Bai Xuan stepped on the ground with both feet, exerted force suddenly, and all the muscles in his body were supported. He felt as if he had a kind of muscle memory, as if he had trawled dozens or hundreds of times, without any sense of stagnation!

"I'm afraid that sailors who have worked for several years are at this level."

Bai Xuan finally relaxed a little.

On this immortal tree, there are seven skills of fighting sharks, trawling, water, swimming, watching the sea, steering, and astronomical phenomena in just one branch of the fisherman.

Just the trawling skill almost completely changed his own state.

With this method, he can feel more at ease on the boat. Perhaps relying on this immortal tree, he can protect himself from being swallowed by the demon fish!

Gurgle...

He had just eaten a meal, but his stomach was gurgling at this moment, and he suddenly became hungry again.

Obviously, even though this little bit of food has the secret of the immortal tree, it will also consume the body's own energy.

"Go back and eat some more."

Bai Xuan got up and went down to eat secretly.

No one cares if you eat some fish and shrimp on the boat. If you are not full and have no strength, that is the real problem.

...

A few days passed quickly, and the whaling ship gradually went deeper into the sea.

Bai Xuan worked day and night, busy fishing. Since he pointed out the trawl net, he naturally mastered many techniques such as setting and lifting the net, which was no worse than the old sailor.

Of course, he was still cautious, calm and concealed his shortcomings. His efficiency did not improve much, but among these young people, he was still outstanding.

In the cabin.

"List these nine people as formal sailors and pay them full wages in the afternoon. For the rest, half of the wages will be withheld."

Bai Tiannian ordered.

Next to him, an accountant was writing down the nine names on the list, including the two words "Bai Xuan".

In the past few days, Bai Tiannian has been watching the performance of the newcomers, and naturally he will not ignore Bai Xuan. In his eyes, Bai Xuan's performance ranks in the middle among these nine people, and he is worth observing and waiting for promotion.

Afternoon.

"I have been promoted to the ranks of formal sailors?"

Bai Xuan was slightly happy.

Formal sailors are formal employees of whaling ships. Their wages are twice that of fishermen who are temporarily called on board to help. They are paid 200 coins a day!

Although 200 coins are not much, in the current Song Dynasty, they can buy 20 kilograms of rice and grain, at least they don't have to worry about food and clothing, not to mention that the expenses on the ship are not much. After a year, the money saved can build two tile houses, which is enough to start a family.

"No matter what world or era you are in, you always have to save money, otherwise it will be difficult to feel at ease."

Bai Xuan carefully hid the two hundred coins in the lining of his trousers.

"Bai Xuan, Brother Zhou and the others are going to take us to play. We will get off the cabin tonight, will you come?"

A young man who was traveling with him came in and asked quietly.

Bai Xuan raised his eyes and saw several old sailors sitting on the side of the ship not far away. They all had swords on their waists. They were obviously elite sailors. They were looking this way.

"No."

Bai Xuan refused without hesitation.

The so-called taking them to play is gambling. When the fishermen get on the boat, there is no entertainment. Apart from work, they gamble at night.

"Forget it if you don't come."

The young man thought that there was also a small society on the fishing boat. The place where the captain did not care was the jungle. In his opinion, mixing with the old sailors like them was the right way.

Bai Xuan was very calm.

Everyone has his own way of life. Even if he has been idle these days, he has nothing to do.

Lying in the cabin at night, he felt homesick and tossing and turning, he would get up and do fifty push-ups or other bodyweight exercises to relieve his loneliness and loneliness by sweating profusely.

After a week, he has completely mastered the power of the Immortal Tree, and even increased it a little!

…

Early the next morning.

Boom, boom, boom!

"Come out and gather!"

Knocking on the door so early to prevent people from sleeping?

Bai Xuan was sleepy-eyed, but after a moment of concentration, he quickly woke up, rolled out of bed, pushed the door open and went out. When he got to the deck, he saw a hazy white light in the sky, which was obviously early morning.

Deck forward.

Third Officer Bai Tiannian stood proudly. After a while, nine young men who had just become official sailors yesterday arrived on the deck. He then put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice:

"You guys are all official sailors now. Today, I'm going to teach you the true master of the Bai family - Heng Lian -"

"Green Scale Skill!"

He said one sentence, and a faint cyan color suddenly appeared on his arms, reflecting the morning sunlight like scales, making a clanging sound!
