Chapter 132: Fishing Point Compass, Activate!

~12 min read 2,246 words

"Looking at it now, it seems the only thing that has suffered is the tourism industry of Sakura Country?"

"Various forces have issued travel warnings for Sakura Country, advising their citizens against traveling, studying, or living there during this period."

"And as for the anomalies that appeared in the suburbs of Sakura Capital earlier, the higher-ups seem to have reached an agreement; they have chosen to classify these as the uncanny workmanship of nature!"

"The destruction was caused by a pipeline explosion triggered by an earthquake and the resulting firestorm, while those blurry celestial phenomena and the appearances of demons and monsters were merely Haishilou and forged game videos!"

"Some television stations even coordinated with the strange celestial phenomena that occurred in the Eastern Ancient Kingdom earlier to create an interactive segment!"

"Then, by diverting attention and muddying the waters, they washed away the heat of the topic."

"Even if insiders were to leak the truth, most people would probably just treat them as clowns looking for traffic, right?"

"Not to mention that the direct parties involved have likely all been recruited into a certain department!"

"If no more major events occur, looking at it purely from the internet, this anomalous event might just become some sort of specious legend, like the alien discovery stories that Flower Flag Country seems to have every year, right?"

Su Ping went to the Water Blue Star Reservoir Fishing Spot once again to fish.

While fishing, he drank some small amounts of wine and scrolled through the news to conduct his analysis.

After finishing his fishing, Su Ping found time to summon his Registered Disciple, Grandmaster Yuan Ci, and the Church Trio into the Pot Heaven one by one to question them.

On one hand, he hinted that the anomalous events in Sakura Capital were indeed related to the extraordinary, which boosted their morale and military spirit.

On the other hand, he mainly wanted to see if his chess pieces would be damaged by the various movements of the different factions after he had stirred up such a big commotion.

As it stands, the people above are still keeping their composure, choosing the path of planning before acting.

Su Ping naturally highly praised this.

In this way, as long as he keeps the other side in a state of indecision, he can drag out a long buffer period.

And time... is clearly on Su Ping's side!

He returned to the Cultivation World.

He went to Linyue Lake and returned to being that Inspector of Jinque City, a fishing enthusiast who remained obscure in the circle of Cultivators, while also using up the remaining fishing attempts at the Linyue Lake fishing spot.

Although he didn't gain any Fishing Experience, he obtained two Green Spirit Fish in one go.

This caused the level of the Pot Heaven to advance instead of regress:

【Current Pot Heaven Level: Level 2 (70/200)】

…………

Xuangui Island.

Because he was thinking about exchanging Second Tier fish for a Fishing Compass, Su Ping did not wait to accumulate two attempts before fishing this time.

Instead, he ran to Xuangui Island to lie in wait early after finishing his attempts at Linyue Lake, waiting for the fishing attempts to refresh!

Su Ping entered his fishing enthusiast mode.

【Obtained Fishing Experience 1】

【Obtained Flowing Pattern Golden Dragon Fish 1】

【Current Fishing Level: Level 5 (450/5000)】

【The current number of fishing attempts at this fishing spot has been exhausted... please continue next time!】

"Seeing that 100 fishing attempts refreshed this time, I knew I would be able to get a catch today!"

"Sure enough, I caught a Flowing Pattern Golden Dragon Fish!"

Su Ping reeled in a sea fish; in a great mood, he unhooked it and threw it back into the Heavenly Pool.

Afterwards, Su Ping couldn't wait to exchange this Flowing Pattern Golden Dragon Fish for the Fishing Compass!

【Fishing Point Compass (Unique): After use, it can discover the nearest fishing spot. Cooldown after use: 100 days. Exchange requirements: 100 Small Flowing Pattern Fish, 10 Large Flowing Pattern Fish, 1 Flowing Pattern Golden Dragon Fish】

Hum!

With a thought in his heart, a small, silver-colored compass appeared in Su Ping's hand.

Engraved on the bottom of the compass were two yin/yang fish circling each other.

The surface was covered with a circle of inscriptions with unknown meanings.

After summoning this Fishing Compass, Su Ping understood how to use it.

As long as he uses it, he can spontaneously find the fishing spot closest to him.

This fishing spot is guaranteed to be unlocked, so there is no need to worry about detecting a duplicate fishing spot.

Then, Su Ping hesitated for a moment.

Should he use it in the Cultivation World or on Water Blue Star?

Without a doubt, the upper limit in the Cultivation World is certainly higher.

But once a fishing spot appears in some restricted area of an Immortal Sect, it would be equivalent to wasting this opportunity for a period of time.

And judging from the discovery of the Xuangui Island fishing spot, this possibility is not low.

The truly famous mountains and rivers in the Cultivation World all have Spirit Veins of various sizes entrenched within them, and there is not a single place that is not occupied by an Immortal Sect.

Many entire Spirit Veins have even been incorporated into Secret Realms to become the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land of the Immortal Sects.

Ancient Relics like Xuangui Island, which lost its Spirit Vein due to historical reasons, cannot be said to be non-existent, but they are certainly extremely rare.

At least within the scope of Su Ping's current knowledge after reaching Foundation Establishment, no second place like Xuangui Island has appeared.

As for Water Blue Star, the upper limit might be a bit lower, but with his current combat power of both Qi Refining and Body Tempering at the Foundation Establishment level, Su Ping feels that no one in his hometown can stop him from fishing!

"Forget it, it's better to play it safe!"

"I'll use this Fishing Compass on Water Blue Star."

"I'll accumulate more strength, and wait until the next cooldown is over to use it in the Cultivation World!"

Su Ping thought for a moment and made this difficult decision.

Thus, Su Ping returned to Yushu City on Water Blue Star.

There is a Reservoir Fishing Spot here.

Starting from this location to find the nearest fishing spot also makes it convenient for Su Ping to fish along the way.

"Fishing Point Compass, activate!"

Su Ping utilized the Fishing Compass.

In an instant, a beam of white light emerged from the compass in his palm, then immediately transformed into a streak of white light and flew off into the distance.

After a few breaths of time.

Su Ping immediately felt a Huijuan emerge in his mind and slowly unfold, revealing a scene of unparalleled beauty to him.

Those were two verdant mountains facing each other like eyebrows.

Just at the first glance, Su Ping understood where this place was.

On Water Blue Star, apart from Mount Emei, which can be called "Emei is the most beautiful in the world," there is nowhere else that could have such slender, long, beautiful, and gorgeous mountain scenery!

The Huijuan continued to zoom in.

It passed over the magnificent temples and Daoist monasteries of Mount Emei, passed over the natural ecological reserve of the monkeys, and passed over the Washing Elephant Pool that Su Ping had visited before.

It locked onto a Deep Water Pool located near the connected back mountain of that Washing Elephant Pool.

To be honest, Su Ping was speechless looking at this place.

The two are actually not far apart, and the straight-line distance is not necessarily even one kilometer.

When he went to do a travel photography mission, he had also tried Fishing at that place.

Just because the fishing position was slightly off, he simply failed to unlock a new fishing spot!

It must be said that without the help of the Fishing Compass, what is needed even more to unlock fishing spots is luck!

Otherwise, even if Su Ping knew that the Yellow River had fishing spots, could he really keep trying one place after another along thousands of kilometers of river channels and tributaries?

If he really did that, Su Ping would have nothing else to do from then on, and even if he threw all his time into it, it would be far from enough!

He memorized the location of the fishing spot.

After Su Ping cast an Invisibility Spell on himself, he quickly left Yushu City.

Even though he bypassed the large and small cities along the way as much as possible to avoid trouble.

At Su Ping's current pace, he still managed to see the bustling Mount Emei scenic area within two or three hours.

As one of the quite famous mountains, Mount Emei, which has many myths and legends, has recently attracted a great number of tourists.

And among them, there is no lack of tourists who have learned some more things and harbor a little secret desire to seek Immortals and ask about the Dao.

A major characteristic of these people is that they like to run around everywhere, attempting to rely on extraordinary matters to obtain opportunities.

The result, naturally, was that it made things difficult for the scenic area staff and local rescue departments.

Making them miserable during this period of time.

Fortunately, it seems that those above have heard their complaints recently.

Not only were the funds suddenly approved, but there was also quite a bit more.

There were even several newly formed teams sent down to help, which greatly alleviated the local manpower crisis.

Su Ping naturally would not buy a ticket to go in.

In any case, his goal was not those scenic spots inside the area.

At most, he climbed to the top of the mountain.

He curiously looked at the twin peaks of Mount Emei in the early morning and felt the atmosphere at the time of the Sun rising over the Golden Summit.

Afterward, he went to the back mountain and found the inconspicuous Deep Water Pool in the mountains.

"This pool has been used by someone; judging by the traces, is it for fetching water?"

"Heh, is it a task arranged for the disciples by the nearby temples or Daoist monasteries? Logically speaking, they should all have water and electricity by now!"

"But this has nothing to do with me; I am just here to be a fisherman, so I won't stop others from using the water."

Su Ping changed into his Yunlai Sword Immortal attire, wearing a cyan Daoist robe and cloth shoes.

After looking around, he didn't mind anything else and sat cross-legged directly on a large rock by the shore.

Afterward, he took out his fishing gear and began Fishing.

The moment the fishhook hit the water!

The long-lost information stream for unlocking a fishing spot finally emerged!

【New fishing spot activated!】

【Current fishing spot rating: Second Tier low-grade】

【Current fishing spot cumulative available fishing attempts: (200/200)】

【Available fish species: Small Flowing Pattern Fish, Large Flowing Pattern Fish, Flowing Pattern Golden Dragon Fish, Spirit Light Misty Fish】

"Second-tier fishing spot?"

"This is an unexpected joy; I originally thought that since Water Blue Star has no Spirit Qi, it would most likely only be a First Tier fishing spot!"

"I didn't expect that a second-tier fishing spot could appear! And there are new specialty catches!"

Su Ping showed joy upon seeing the information, and then stopped thinking about it and started Fishing.

It would still take a long time to finish fishing at a second-tier fishing spot with full attempts.

However, every time he successfully fished, watching the catches increase in his warehouse, his experience also increased by a little.

Su Ping naturally ignored the dullness and boredom of fishing here.

The Sun soon reached noon, and then gradually began to set, illuminating the sky blood-red.

Reflecting this sunset red light.

In the forest, two streamers who became famous for their hiking live streams also successfully walked out of the natural reserve panting, and somewhat happily discovered the small path in the back mountain.

They had encountered a troop of monkeys before, and then discovered that these monkeys were not cute at all!

Instead, they were more like a group of robbers and villains!

Fortunately, they knew the route was arduous this time and didn't bring the atmosphere crew along, otherwise they would have surely crashed and needed a rescue!

Looking at the sky, the older streamer frowned slightly and suggested heading down the mountain along the path.

They had collected enough material for this trip, especially the footage from the Golden Summit and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple in the early morning; after editing, adding some special effects, and including some monkey-related plot, it could make a video episode.

It would be just right to capitalize on the suddenly surging popularity of the Spirit Qi revival and the Immortal hero trend.

The younger one also agreed with this idea.

However, he wanted to go up the mountain once more to film some landscape footage at sunset from a high vantage point.

He felt that the scenery on this back mountain was not as good as the Twin Peaks in the scenic area, but its advantage lay in having something others lacked, which might just make it go viral!
