Chapter 13: Surprise!

The backyard of East King Temple.

Su Ping did not wait for Zhou Xuan to return, after directing Xiaobai and Xiaohui to lead the rat tide to sneak into the depths of the mountains in the suburbs to settle down temporarily.

Su Ping did not forget his greatest reliance; he put on a bamboo hat, took out his fishing gear, applied an Invisibility Talisman, and quietly walked out of the Daoist temple to find a spot for night fishing.

Su Ping visited five fishing spots in one night, initially thinking he would return empty-handed.

He was even worried that a world potentially lacking Spirit Qi might not produce fishing spots recognized by the system.

Yet, he did not expect that at the very last location.

At the Dong-qu-shui-ku, located upstream of a river, he triggered a new fishing spot!

【New fishing spot activated!】

【Current fishing level: Level 2 (120/500)】

【Current fishing spot rating: First Tier Low Grade】

【Current fishing spot cumulative fishing attempts: (100/100)】

【Available fish species: Small Green Fish, Big Green Fish, Green Spirit Fish, Flowing Pattern False Dragon Fish】

"It seems that for a First Tier Low Grade fishing spot, the first three types of catch are the same; the difference is this fourth specialty?"

"Flowing Pattern False Dragon Fish? A False Dragon should count as a dragon species, I wonder if I can contract and tame it for my own use if I catch one."

"If I could raise it into a dragon fish to use as a mount, that would be mighty indeed."

Su Ping successfully discovered the fishing spot, whispered in high spirits, sat down cross-legged, and then began to fish.

During this time, Su Ping noticed other night-fishing enthusiasts appearing around the reservoir, but they all tacitly avoided disturbing each other, enjoying the happy time of night fishing in their respective spots.

【Current fishing level: Level 2 (220/500)】

【Current fishing spot attempts exhausted... Please continue next time!】

"Luck is alright, caught 70 Small Green Fish and 30 Big Green Fish; I won't be short of Fishing Coins for a while!"

"And discovering that fishing spots can exist in reality on this trip is a great thing!"

"Finding fishing spots and fishing in reality is much safer than in the Cultivation World!"

At this time, the sky in the distance was gradually turning white, and the fishing attempts were exhausted, so Su Ping intended to leave.

Thus, he gave the fishing rod a slight twitch, pulled a plump carp out of the reservoir, and placed it into the fish basket.

Afterwards, Su Ping picked up the fish basket and gear, and returned to East King Temple against the morning light.

Su Ping returned to the temple.

He noticed that Zhou Xuan had already returned and had sorted the items he needed into an empty side room.

Considering the limitations of Zhou Xuan as an ordinary Daoist.

Su Ping did not set any difficult problems to test his abilities.

He mainly had him buy daily department store goods.

The slightly more troublesome items were merely various laboratory supplies and teaching props.

Among them, white sugar accounted for the largest share.

In the Cultivation World, perhaps because Cultivators are also considered a profession involving mental labor?

The vast majority of Cultivators love eating sweets.

As a relatively high-end luxury condiment, white sugar is quite popular among the broad masses of Cultivators.

As for table salt, because the mortals of the Cultivation World, though unable to cultivate, can greatly increase their strength through martial arts, they can rapidly increase production in the mining of well salt and mineral salt.

Coupled with the fact that the unification between various cities is more of a nominal one out of respect for the Immortal Sects, they cannot openly monopolize salt and iron.

This makes it so that the mortals of the Cultivation World, who seem to be in an ancient feudal civilization, are not short of salt, and this trade cannot yield exorbitant profits.

On the contrary, in terms of agriculture, no matter how strong a mortal is, they cannot make it produce more in an unscientific way.

Cultivators do have ways, but for a Cultivator with that time and that Dharma Power, isn't it better to go plant Spirit Plants? Why waste effort taking care of mundane things, only to find out in the end that they earned fewer Spirit Stones? Furthermore, white sugar is a recognized strategic material.

Su Ping knew very well that, combined with daily department store goods, he, who had mastered science and mathematics and could combine them with spells, could completely use this to refine a batch of Thunder Fire Beads enhanced by technological knowledge just in case.

Presumably, this batch of Thunder Fire Beads, which have no spiritual fluctuations but possess power several or even dozens of times greater than black powder, could give his enemies a big surprise when used by surprise!

"Well done."

"Come here."

Su Ping nodded slightly, put down the fish basket, and reached out to take out a Jade Slip.

Then, after pressing it against the forehead of the respectfully approaching Zhou Xuan.

He circulated his Dharma Power into the Jade Slip.

Immediately, the introductory general outline of the Qi Refining chapter of the Five Elements Art, which is already ubiquitous in the Cultivation World, was imprinted deep into Zhou Xuan's mind.

This made him excitedly bow to Su Ping once again.

"Read more, practice less; you must know the principle that haste makes waste!"

Su Ping gave a reminder, not because he was afraid the other party would achieve something too quickly, but because he was afraid this guy would be too eager to seek the Dao and ruin his body.

The cultivation method he gave was real.

But there is no Spirit Qi on Water Blue Star! Su Ping giving the cultivation method via a Jade Slip was partly to provide a little sweetness and emphasize that his extraordinary status is not fake.

On the other hand, it was also to let the other party familiarize themselves with the cultivation method so it would be easier to start when they actually cultivate later.

As for when this promised pie can be realized.

That depends on when the Pot Heaven can be redeemed, and when Su Ping can be confident enough to lead people in to work without being backlashed.

Of course, the premise for all of this is that Zhou Xuan truly possesses a Spirit Root!

People with Spirit Roots in the Cultivation World are one in ten thousand.

On Water Blue Star... Su Ping found it hard to guess.

After all, he is also a pure Water Blue Star native, yet it just so happened that he possessed a Spirit Root; even if it was only a Lower Grade Spiritual Root, that still put him above ten thousand people.

Then, considering the mediocrity of his life on Water Blue Star for the first half of his life.

Su Ping was more inclined to believe that on Water Blue Star, right here in the Eastern Ancient Kingdom, among the descendants of Yan and Huang.

There were not only those who possessed a Spirit Root, but many! Su Ping entered the side room, took out his Storage Bag, and packed the bags of white sugar into it.

Afterwards, he set the default teleportation point for his Return to City Talisman to East King Temple.

He gave Zhou Xuan a few instructions, then activated the Return to City Talisman, which had finished its cooldown, and vanished into thin air before Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan was shaken, but having experienced the shock of yesterday, he quickly regained his composure, only secretly elevating Su Ping's ability and status in his heart by several notches! Afterward, Zhou Xuan curiously walked into the side room and discovered that all the white sugar was gone.

Thinking of that pile of white sugar, which he had used a cart to haul several times, he firmly etched into his heart the idea that an enlightened master possesses the divine ability of Sleeve Universe.

Cultivation World, Linyue Villa.

The servants of the villa welcomed back their master, the Inspector of Jinque City, Master Su Ping!

Su Ping returned to the villa, rested for a while, and then ordered the steward to send someone to summon the manager of the brokerage firm in Jinque City.

As a brokerage manager, he knew everything about the various walks of life in Jinque City and the surrounding towns that did not involve Cultivators.

Upon learning that the Inspector had a task for him, this manager felt it was the greatest honor of his life.

Then, with the help of this manager.

Su Ping quickly obtained the information on the eccentric person he was looking for.

Within the sphere of influence of Jinque City, there were more than ten people proficient in beast taming.

Among them was an eccentric who called himself Shu Daoren, who relied on the rat packs he trained to have a reputation in the mortal world no less than those famous martial artists.
