no matter how much more I try to add, it’s useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need to walk around and see if I can find the opportunity to break through.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man smiled faintly and didn’t ask any further questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, how long have you been fishing this time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man casually raised his wrist and checked his watch: “In two more hours, it’ll be a full day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen’s eyes fell on the man’s wristwatch, feeling a little strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do great grandmasters use wristwatches too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen crouched still, intending to keep the man company for the next two hours and then slowly cultivate once he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the time being, he needed to build a rapport, as the mysterious middle-aged man looked so much like a master from a Cave Sky Blessed Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from anything else, not everyone could wear just a thin jacket in such intense cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With time slowly passing, the two-hour mark approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man checked his watch again and sighed with disappointment: “It seems like another fruitless day…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish his sentence, the fishing line suddenly pulled taut, and the makeshift rod bent sharply, snapping and shooting into the water…\u003C\u002Fp>",1024,"2026-06-06T01:51:43.660Z",1,"novelbin.me","9f8cd7a2a08ab15afec4a334f70d0aa085b4ec66232fcbdd82d97692d812ad3a","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-509","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-507",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
