Chapter 435: Worm Fishing

He had heard of fishing, but never of worm fishing, and what was this "worm-fishing master"?

Hearing Wei Feng's words, Ye Changqing said with great interest.

"Sounds pretty good."

"Right, Senior Brother? It's very interesting to experience it. With Senior Brother's strength, you will definitely be able to reach the top of the list and become a true worm-fishing master."

Listening to Wei Feng's flattery, Ye Changqing's mouth twitched. What did he need this worm-fishing master title for?

Led by Wei Feng, the two arrived at the square of Tree City, where there was a huge stone tablet in the center.

This was the worm-fishing master leaderboard that Wei Feng mentioned.

There were a total of ten names on the list, the ten people who had caught the most wood worms over the years. Moreover, this stone tablet was a treasure specially refined by an artifact refiner; once someone's number of caught wood worms exceeded those on the list, the list would change in real-time.

At a glance, he discovered that the people on this list were all cultivators, and their cultivation bases didn't seem low either. Even the Peak Master of the Hundred Herbs Peak, Mu You, was on the list, ranked third.

"The ten people on this list are all alchemists. After all, alchemists have a unique advantage in worm fishing..."

Wei Feng explained from the side. Hearing this, Ye Changqing nodded, and then the two went to a designated place to register and received a token.

The function of this token was to record the number of wood worms you killed. For every wood worm killed, the corresponding number would be displayed on the token.

Just as Ye Changqing finished the registration, a commotion suddenly broke out in the square.

"Look, it's Master Zhang Chong."

"It really is. I didn't expect Master Zhang Chong to come to Tree City again. Is he trying to challenge the leaderboard?"

"It must be. Master Zhang Chong has always been ranked second; this time he must want to reach the top."

Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw an old man walking slowly toward them surrounded by a crowd. Wei Feng on the side introduced him.

"This is Master Zhang Chong from the Alchemy Pavilion, an eighth-grade alchemist, Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, ranked second on the worm-fishing list. He is a master of worm fishing."

Wei Feng seemed to know quite a bit about the people on the worm-fishing list.

While speaking, Zhang Chong had already arrived in front of Ye Changqing and Wei Feng, glanced at them indifferently, and said calmly.

"Dao One Sect disciples?"

"Greetings, Senior."

Hearing this, the two of them cupped their hands in salute. After all, the other party was an eighth-grade alchemist and a senior, so it was normal to take the initiative to greet him.

But Zhang Chong said with disdain.

"Not even fully grown, yet learning to fish for worms like others. Heh."

Is this old man sick?

Seeing this, Ye Changqing frowned slightly. He hadn't offended this old thing, so why was he speaking so aggressively?

Besides, damn it, whether he could fish for worms or not was none of his business. What could a worm-fishing master represent? Couldn't he just fish for fun?

He registered just like Ye Changqing and then turned to leave. However, before leaving, Zhang Chong said with disdain again.

"Watch carefully what worm fishing is, don't embarrass yourselves later."

Damn it...

Ye Changqing was speechless. This old man must be sick; he hadn't provoked him at all.

Wei Feng on the side seemed to know some inside information and whispered to Ye Changqing.

"Senior Brother, don't pay attention to him. This guy has always been hostile toward the Dao One Sect."

"Did our Dao One Sect provoke him?"

"Not really, but the top of this worm-fishing list is Chen Zhanglao of the Hundred Herbs Peak. This old thing has always wanted to defeat Chen Zhanglao, so he doesn't have a good face for our Dao One Sect."

"So that's how it is."

Too lazy to bother with an old man, Ye Changqing took the token and walked out of the square.

But Zhang Chong didn't know that countless pairs of eyes were already watching him in the dark.

"This old thing really doesn't know how to live."

"Give him a lesson, who does he think he is?"

"Exactly." ===== CHAPTER 436 =====
