Chapter 209: The Self-Cultivation of an Angler

Hey, hey, hey!

My dear friend, how did you know I went fishing today and even caught a big fish?

You want to hear about it, right?

Good, good, good!

Then I shall tell you all about it!

First, you must choose a good fishing spot.

Just walk along the riverbank and you will find one; the water depth here is quite excellent, there must be big fish down below.

First, prepare the bait, add a little lake water and stir it in, but not too much.

Just add a little bit, remember, this is the key! It won't do if it's too thin.

Then, you must start chumming the water.

For this chum, I used a prime fox.

The meat is firm and springy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fresh and juicy; it had been marinated in fine seasonings for several hours in advance, and finally, it was even pickled in alcohol.

This is the perfect bait for fishing for fox thieves.

Pay attention to one thing.

The choice of materials for chumming is different, depending on what you want to catch.

If you are fishing for something like a topmouth culter, then you must use corn.

If you are fishing for seagulls, then you need to prepare more french fries.

If you are fishing for a peach blossom spirit, then you must use a wolf-tooth club.

In short, by analogy, never blindly follow the tutorials; you must learn to be flexible.

And once all preparations are done, all you have to do is wait.

To become an outstanding angler, one must have a firm and powerful heart.

Regardless of scorching heat or bitter cold, one must be able to endure boredom and loneliness, and must never be easily distracted!

Only by doing this can you be like me, catching a fish with every cast...

What?

You say there are no fish in my keepnet?

Hah!

You are wrong!

How could I possibly not have caught any fish? I, I just didn't want to!

That's right, I am accumulating Merit today.

Anyway, I would have to release them to accumulate Merit after catching them; now I have simply skipped the two steps of catching and releasing.

!!!

You say "air force"!!?

Who are you talking about?

Ah!?

I ask you, who are you saying went fishing and caught nothing!?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

What kind of joke is that? "Air force" is impossible, it's impossible for me to catch nothing in this lifetime.

Even if I can't catch fish, I can catch other things!

Don't even mention the chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, or cats of the fish pond owner; I won't even let those flowers and plants go!

Even a dog passing by would have a few tail hairs plucked by me!

In short, as long as I go fishing.

There will definitely be something extra in the keepnet!

This is an eternal, unbreakable truth.

"He really did catch something else..."

Ren Yidao huddled in the corner and sighed helplessly.

"What on earth is this!"

"Where did this petty thief come from?"

Looking at the middle-aged man who had covered the lower half of his face, revealing only his eyes, Ren Yidao was very puzzled.

Who are you?

At your age, coming out to be a burglar, is that really appropriate?

Besides, it would be one thing if you had some special ability, but you...

His gaze swept over the man's round, bloated potbelly, then looked at the steam rising from the top of his head.

At a glance, this is someone who doesn't labor on a daily basis and lives in the lap of luxury every day.

To put it more clearly.

This is a good-for-nothing!

The appearance of such a guy taking such a risk is actually unexpected, yet it makes sense.

As long as there is sufficient profit, it will make some guys have crooked thoughts.

Under heavy rewards, there will be brave men.

Greed, after all, can turn people into a Demon.

"Some noble family? No, that's not right, it must be the kind without real power..."

Regarding the nobles in Wentian City, Ren Yidao had gained some simple understanding during this period.

To summarize it, it just takes a few sentences:

Having money does not necessarily mean having power.

But having power definitely means having money.

On this point, Beigan is a standard feudal dynasty, which is not surprising at all.

Although the situation seemed to have improved after the "Fox Appraisal Classic," there was actually not much change.

At this moment, the wind and rain in Wentian City and the situation where a fox is hard to find do not actually affect the true upper-class figures.

The group of people at the very top of the pyramid will never be short of foxes.

Even if they do not take the initiative to find foxes themselves, there will be people below who take the initiative to send them.

After a few days, the princes and princesses who had racked their brains to find foxes reached a conclusion.

The truly excellent foxes are all inside the Fox Tea House.

Searching for them thousands of times in the crowd, suddenly looking back, that person is in the dim light.

Case closed.

That "Fox Appraisal Classic" was written based on the foxes there.

If it were the usual style, at this time, a prince accustomed to being overbearing would have come forward to snatch them openly.

How dare you not offer up good things?

Don't think that because the princes of Beigan are as obedient as chickens in front of Li Long, they are really a group that is easy to provoke.

The temperaments of those people in the past were not easy to get along with.

Of course, this time, they still maintained their sanity.

Nothing much, just afraid of getting beaten.

Those princes and princesses know exactly who is standing behind the Fox Tea House and dare not provoke them easily.

Ren Yidao.

This Daoist, who was unknown half a month ago, became a famous and influential figure in Wentian City in the blink of an eye.

In terms of talent, they are no match.

Cannot compare.

In terms of strength, they are also no match.

Cannot beat.

In terms of background, the Divine Path Sect is a great sect of the world.

Cannot afford to provoke.

In terms of status... *cough cough*!

According to the edict personally announced by the Emperor, they should even call Ren Yidao "Uncle."

And he is already this grown up.

Suddenly having an uncle who just turned eighteen pop up above your head...

Can't hold it in.

This is truly impossible to hold in!

In fact, even without those layers of status, they would still hold an attitude of keeping Ren Yidao at a respectful distance.

After all, from the moment he first entered their sight, the person standing behind him was that Ninth Princess.

Li Qiushui, honored as the "Ninth Princess," beautiful and sweet-voiced, but her strikes are vicious and painful!

They are all brothers and sisters who grew up together; who doesn't know how vengeful this girl is and how ruthless her strikes are!

For such a mysterious existence with who knows how many layers of background, they chose to avoid her edge.

If you can't afford to provoke them, you can at least hide.

If they could, let alone acting presumptuously in front of him, they wouldn't even want to have any more contact with this place.

Who wants to have an elder who is the same age as you, or even younger than you, for no reason?

But some people don't know!

Even the royal children of Beigan chose not to provoke him, but unfortunately, this world is never short of smart people.

Or rather, it is never short of guys who consider themselves "smart people."

Looking at that fat body constantly wriggling, Ren Yidao sighed and prepared to quietly throw him out.

It would be fine if you, little thief, came at any other time, but aren't you here to cause trouble now?

If you scare away my fish, I will not be finished with you.

"Hey hey hey, you... hmm?"

But just before Ren Yidao could speak, an accident happened.

The masked man took a deep breath, turned around, trembling all over, and suddenly unbuttoned his clothes...

Exposing the fat on his upper body toward the sleeping little fox.

Ren Yidao: Hmm???
