Chapter 38: Fishing Immortal!

"Success!"

"Hahaha, I, the Daoist, have succeeded!"

Linyue Villa, inside the study.

Su Ping held up a Lightness Spirit Talisman with ink that had not yet dried, laughing with exceptional abandon.

Although this was the simplest of Talismans.

This success allowed Su Ping to see a brand-new Great Dao unfolding before him.

From this moment on!

He, Su Ping, was also an Immortal Master who possessed a cultivation craft! Furthermore, in the process of constant failed attempts and drawing again after failure.

Su Ping gradually discovered that his brushwork was becoming increasingly smooth and effortless, and inspiration seemed to emerge from his mind as if it cost nothing, giving him the illusion that his writing was guided by a god.

"I've tried artifact refining, alchemy, and Arrays before, but I never had this feeling."

"Could it be that I am actually a hidden genius of the Talisman Dao? I was just suffering from having no teacher to lead me to the Entry."

"So now that I've made the Entry, I'm immediately like a fish in water?"

Su Ping solemnly placed this first Spirit Talisman into a wooden box to treasure it.

If he were to become a Great Talisman Master in the future, this Spirit Talisman would have great historical value.

Who knows how many factions wanting to curry favor with him would bid this Spirit Talisman up to a sky-high price! "However, the knowledge of every cultivation craft is as vast as the sea; it is extremely difficult for a person to exhaust even one of them in a lifetime."

"It has already been extremely time-consuming for me to learn just one path."

"Learning a few other crafts... perhaps it's fine for the initial Entry."

"If I want to delve deeper, I will be spread too thin."

Su Ping, excited as he was, was still objectively analyzing his current situation.

"However, having a craft is always a good thing. With the help of Mana Potion and Life Potion, my daily practice volume can be dozens of times that of other Qi Refining Cultivators."

"If I work hard, one month could equal two and a half years for others..."

"It can completely serve as a reasonable way to earn Spirit Stones in the eyes of the outside world!"

"Whew, the Spirit Talisman is a success, the knot in my heart is untied!"

"Time to go Fishing!"

Su Ping left the study, put on his bamboo hat, and went to the Linyue Lake Fishing Spot to begin angling.

During this period, the people of Linyue Villa had already become accustomed to this.

The Ji Family had even dispatched two Loose Cultivators and hundreds of martial artists to serve as the villa's guard team, ensuring that the Inspector would not be disturbed in any way.

Even if an eagle flew over, it would be shot down by powerful bows and heavy crossbows.

【Fishing Experience +1!】

【Current Fishing Level: Level 3 (140/1000)】

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

Looking at the information stream, this Fishing Spot had refreshed to its upper limit of 70 times, which counted as a good start.

He had obtained 45 Small Green Fish and 25 Big Green Fish.

A Small Green Fish could be exchanged for one Fishing Coin, while a Big Green Fish was worth five.

Su Ping's heart stirred, and he exchanged 5 Small Green Fish and 5 Big Green Fish for a total of 30 Fishing Coins.

Then he purchased a new Purification Spirit Medicine and a Pot Heaven-exclusive card pack.

"Open it!"

【Psychic Civet, Partner, Quality: Common, exclusive to Pot Heaven】

【Note: Initial Partner favorability: 60 (Friendly); if it drops below 20 (Dislike), there is a probability it will leave Pot Heaven】

"It's a Partner Card!"

"Partners have higher subjective initiative than puppets, almost indistinguishable from a real person!"

"Furthermore, although those Partners with heaven-reaching and earth-shattering abilities can also be summoned when playing the game, limited by the game's architecture, they can only serve as interactive figurines in Pot Heaven."

"Referring to those incredible catches, if I could really summon them and raise them in Pot Heaven, hiss..."

"The matter of drawing Partners from card packs has great potential!"

"The future is promising!"

Su Ping thought about the Partners he could obtain; there would be no shortage of various Immortals, demons, or even God Kings and Demon Lords.

With their help, even if only a wisp of a clone descended, it would be enough to benefit him infinitely! Swish! He reeled in a big grass carp, ensuring the angler's tradition of never returning empty-handed was not abandoned.

Su Ping left the catch for the servants to process and then left Linyue Lake.

Half an hour later. Water Blue Star, Reservoir Fishing Spot.

Su Ping was planning to fish.

Suddenly, he saw a fishing team that seemed to be livestreaming on the shore not far away.

"Hello everyone, I am Fishing Brother, welcome to watch the 'Catch Anything But Fish' program on time!"

"Thanks to the big boss 'I Am Fish' for the tip!"

"Thanks to brother 'Void Incarnate' for the rocket!"

Su Ping's hearing was too sharp, and he quickly heard the streamer's voice.

He shook his head slightly, too lazy to pay attention, and began his angling.

While playing the game, he noticed that the fishing streamer not far away was quite hardworking.

His team really had divers take a long detour to dive into the reservoir, and then, coordinated by the on-site director, they hooked all sorts of strange things onto Fishing Brother's line.

They even mimicked a big fish, deliberately pulling on the fishing rod to create an atmosphere.

And then, following the catch, it was a small safety balloon filled with water.

A burst of mockery and all sorts of snarky comments erupted in the live stream channel of the Fishing Brother.

"It's not just post-production special effects; this production team has really put in the effort."

Su Ping inwardly joined in the snark, then suddenly his body jolted.

He looked at the information feed:

【Obtained Fishing Experience +1】

【Obtained Green Spirit Fish +1】

"Green Spirit Fish!"

"I thought that even if my level increased, I would still have to wait a few more times to have a chance."

"I didn't expect that when I wasn't forcing it, it would just come like this!"

"Whew, don't get excited; better finish the remaining fishing attempts before slowly redeeming them."

Su Ping continued fishing.

Meanwhile, the fishing team not far away, after having the Fishing Brother catch a tattered rag doll, an old alarm clock, and other such items,

had entered a calm period of normal fishing and idle chatter.

Because of this, they noticed Su Ping, who was wearing a bamboo hat and looking like an old fisherman.

"He seems to be a Daoist priest too!"

"I think he must have been fishing here for a while; I saw him when the host started the stream."

"Host, why don't you go interview that old fisherman and see who is better at fishing!"

"It's impossible to catch fish by fishing; one can only survive by catching some trash..."

"Holy crap!"

"Look at that, everyone!"

Just as the Fishing Brother's perspective turned toward Su Ping, and not long after the barrage of comments flew across the channel,

they suddenly saw the white-robed old fisherman slowly stand up.

Then, with one hand gripping his fishing gear, he gave it a flick! The sound of splashing water could be heard even by the host's side.

Immediately!

A Da Hei Yu at least half a meter long was yanked out of the water and landed at the old fisherman's feet.

"An... an expert!"

"That's a big fish the host could never catch in his entire life!"

"Don't worry, I bet the host will catch a one-and-a-half-meter-long big fish next time!"

"With the host's fishing equipment, if he really encountered a big fish weighing at least 30 jin, it wouldn't be a person fishing, it would be the fish walking the host!"

While they were joking, they suddenly discovered that the old fisherman had actually released the caught Da Hei Yu back into the water, and after finishing all this, he picked up his fishing gear and drifted away without the slightest hesitation.

Even though they were far away and couldn't see Su Ping's handsome face clearly,

they could still feel that Daoist's sense of indifference toward the secular world.

"This is definitely a true hermit expert!"

"Host, hurry and check if there are any nearby Daoist temples with this true practitioner; I want to go seek the Dao!"

"Able to fish and able to release, valuing the process over the result—a Fishing Immortal! This old fisherman is the only one worthy of being called a Fishing Immortal!"
