Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing barely recovered consciousness and hurriedly asked, "Hezhu, what is the situation?"

Zhu Fuxian's gaze toward the distance was exceptionally deep; only after a long while did he answer, "As things stand, it should be related to the Canglan Sea Region."

Xu Zhangqing heard this and thought secretly, "No, don't — I only just obtained the Jingling Abyss Hundred-Year Fishing Rights; if they're gone, I won't even have a place to cry."

Huang Yue shouted fiercely at Rong Long, "What exactly did you do?"

However, Rong Long didn't even acknowledge him, just laughed to himself, "Heh... hehe......"

Su Wan's willow brows furrowed: "Judging by the look of it, we must apply for the Soul Searching Great Art; he, or they, definitely did something in the Canglan Sea Region!"

Huang Yue deeply agreed, immediately looking at Zhu Fuxian and saying in a deep voice, "Zhu Hezhu, please leave quickly; the Xing Punishment Hall is temporarily closed to the outside."

Zhu Fuxian gave Rong Long a deep look, then called out, "Xiao Xu, let's go!"

Before leaving, Xu Zhangqing likewise glanced at Rong Long; unexpectedly, the other party actually lifted his eyelids and met his gaze across the distance, his eyes containing something.

……

……

This wailing lasted a full seven days and seven nights, finally dissipating bit by bit into heaven and earth under everyone's personal witness.

Thereafter, Water Spirit Qi ushered in a period of eruption; the number of cultivators awakening Water Spirit Roots increased by the day, and even the cultivation speed of Wood Spirit Root cultivators accelerated.

"Lao Xu, what's going on?"

"I always feel the Tianyuan Realm isn't peaceful anymore!"

"You know so many Core Disciples, your information channels are well-connected, right?"

At the Linggan Platform, Xu Zhangqing and the others set up a stall while exchanging information.

To the side, Ruo Qunshuang, sitting on a stool eating melon seeds, perked up her ears at these words, curiously eavesdropping.

Facing the curious gazes of Hu Bugui, Zhao Ziyue, Lin An, and the others, Xu Zhangqing shook his head: "I only know this matter occurred in the Canglan Sea Region.

As for the specific circumstances, I truly don't know at present."

To tell the truth, he longed for definite news more than anyone.

First, he couldn't bear to part with the Jingling Abyss's hundred-year fishing rights.

Second, his relationship with the Mermaid Princess still wasn't confirmed.

However you thought about it, it was a loss.

It's just that the Immortal Sect seemed to have blockaded the news; up to now not a single bit had leaked out, and the vast majority of people were completely in the dark.

Hu Bugui pondered: "If there's no other way, we can only wait for Li Lingbi, Chu Qiu, and the other Core Disciples to come out of the Gui Xu Secret Realm and ask them."

Xu Zhangqing rolled his eyes: "They're inside a secret realm; they might not even know what happened outside, so asking would be useless."

Hu Bugui scratched his head: "Seems... that's true too?"

At this moment, the always-silent Ruo Qunshuang suddenly spoke up: "I've heard this wailing before!"

Xu Zhangqing immediately looked at her, asking with shock and doubt: "You've heard it?"

Ruo Qunshuang nodded: "Didn't I tell you before? When the Jiuqu Sect incident happened, it made a similar commotion, only not this big."

Xu Zhangqing narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering secretly: "It always feels like no small matter; recently my Water and Wood Spirit Roots' cultivation speed has increased a lot, and I'm already not far from Foundation Establishment Perfection."

Able to affect Spirit Roots, even bring about changes.

This is sufficient to prove that a major event concerning cultivators must have occurred.

What a pity; as a bottom-rung disciple of the Immortal Sect, he simply couldn't access higher-level information.

Moreover, for safety reasons, he didn't dare go to Xuanxin City alone, so he could only wait patiently.

Soon, time arrived at evening.

The group, having finished their stall, returned to the Stone House once more.

Seven days had passed since the first division of spirit stones.

Sure enough, as Xu Zhangqing said, these days ushered in a business eruption period.

More and more people bought things, and profits swelled like a rolling snowball.

Crucially, they took this opportunity to meet many people, even including Core Disciples.

On the first day of the stall, after deducting costs, everyone earned 1,280 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

On the second day, after deducting costs, they earned 5,800 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

On the third day, after deducting costs, they earned 8,500 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

On the fourth day, after deducting costs, they earned Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Until today, that is the eighth day of the stall, after deducting costs they earned a total of Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Excluding the first day, the cumulative total revenue for these seven days is Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Yes, that's right.

In seven days they earned nearly one hundred thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Xu Zhangqing, Hu Bugui, Zhao Ziyue, and Bai Xiaotian's combined investment of nearly forty thousand has now not only returned the principal but also turned a tidy profit.

Looking at so many spirit stones, only heavy breathing remained in the room.

Hu Bugui's voice trembled slightly: "Lao Xu, we really struck it rich this time!"

Zhao Ziyue took a deep breath: "I'm going to buy the most expensive fishing gear!"

Xu Zhangqing glanced at the two and said with a light laugh: "Then don't just stand there dumbly, let's divide the spirit stones!"

"Wait!"

Hu Bugui immediately shouted, "This time, do we have to add Old Bai?"

Zhao Ziyue only then remembered, realizing, "Right, how did we forget Old Bai?"

Although Old Bai didn't directly invest, he gave a full thousand Spirit Talismans.

And regardless of whether sold individually or as a package.

Spirit Talismans are yang goods second only to Pills and Spirit Tools.

Xu Zhangqing waved his hand, explaining, "The first day I didn't give a share to Old Bai, mainly because you guys were too poor, so I couldn't bear to watch."

Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue were deeply moved upon hearing this.

But they had to admit, days without Spirit Stones were truly very hard to endure.

Hu Bugui was fine, after all he later got ten thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones from Xu Zhangqing to buy Spirit Beasts.

Zhao Ziyue was the most miserable; every time he saw others have new fishing gear, he felt incomparable envy in his heart.

Fortunately, they finally had money.

Next, the three of them plus the absent Bai Xiaotian divided the total profits accumulated over seven days.

Xu Zhangqing invested the most, therefore he divided Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Hu Bugui was second only to him, dividing Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Zhao Ziyue, not much not little, divided 7240 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

As for Old Bai who wasn't here, he divided Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Of course, these ten thousand plus were temporarily kept by Xu Zhangqing for now.

Hu Bugui held the Storage Bag containing over twenty thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones, excitedly saying, "I want to buy more Spirit Land, more Spirit Beasts, produce more feces!"

Zhao Ziyue grinned, "I want fishing rods, fish hooks, fishing lines, fishing nets... all Fishing Tools must be had, and they must be new models."

Xu Zhangqing couldn't help but say, "Can't you just make a fish pond?"

Zhao Ziyue disdainfully curled his lip, "I only wild fish!"

Hu Bugui mocked, "Right right right, anyway besides fish you can catch everything."

Zhao Ziyue raised the Storage Bag in his hand, meaningfully indicating, "This, is it not also a kind of fishing?"

"Huh?"

Xu Zhangqing and Hu Bugui looked at each other, suddenly feeling the Old Zhao before them was different.

Zhao Ziyue said blandly, "You only fixate on fish, but to me, all things in the world can be fish, all can be angled, all can be hooked!"
