[Obtained Big Green Fish +1]
By Linyue Lake, Su Ping was at the same old spot where he first went Fishing.
As soon as the Fishing spot refreshed its remaining uses, Su Ping began to Fish.
As the number of Fishing attempts increased,
Su Ping went from being indifferent to the hobby of Fishing to understanding its joy.
And now, he genuinely loved Fishing.
To put it in simple terms,
Fishing felt to Su Ping like playing a gacha game in a large open world.
Every twitch of the Fishing line was the beginning of a gacha pull.
And the moment a fish was reeled in was like drawing a golden light.
The combination of anticipation and excitement for unknown catches, plus the satisfaction of achieving something with his own hands,
It was no wonder that even without the System's boost, real-life Fishing enthusiasts remained tirelessly devoted.
This Fishing spot at Linyue Lake refreshed once every seven days.
The number of refreshed uses ranged from 30 to 70, and could accumulate, but not exceed a maximum of 100 uses.
This time, 50 Fishing uses were refreshed.
Su Ping used up most of them in one morning.
Which left Su Ping feeling unfulfilled.
However, in the past few days, during gaps in his Cultivation, Su Ping had also visited several well-known Fishing spots nearby, but none of his attempts had activated new Fishing spots.
This made Su Ping realize that trying to discover Fishing spots by Fishing at each one was not an easy task.
Fortunately, Su Ping remembered that after the Fishing Mall's Rank increased, a Fishing Compass for finding new Fishing spots would be available for exchange.
Once he obtained this item, finding Fishing spots would no longer be a matter of blind luck as it was now.
While Fishing and pondering, Su Ping suddenly felt a gentle tug on his line.
Another fish had taken the bait in the game.
Ding!
After a series of actions, the moment he reeled in his catch, Su Ping suddenly noticed that this time, there was a pleasant notification sound!
His heart stirred, and he quickly glanced at the information stream:
[Obtained Fishing Experience +1]
[Current Fishing Rank: Rank 2 (45/500)]
[Obtained Azure Spirit Fish +1]
"Holy crap!"
"Azure Spirit Fish!"
"Rare quality, an Azure Spirit Fish that can be exchanged for a unique item!"
"I truly have the talent and luck to become a Fishing enthusiast!"
Su Ping was very excited. He stopped Fishing for the remaining five attempts, exited the game, and opened his game inventory to examine the Azure Spirit Fish he had just caught.
[Azure Spirit Fish, Quality: Rare, Delicious and edible, can be kept as an ornamental fish in the Huzhong Cave Heaven to increase the Cave Heaven's Spiritual Qi output!]
"Increases Spiritual Qi output!"
Su Ping stared at this description, his heart burning with excitement.
Huzhong Cave Heaven was also one of the unique items that could be exchanged for once the Fishing Mall's Rank was high enough.
In the game, it was essentially the player's home System.
But in this real Cultivation world,
This was a portable Secret Realm, a Small World!
And according to the Azure Spirit Fish's description, if he caught more Ling fish in the future, and the Spiritual Qi output increased,
Couldn't he Cultivate Spirit Medicine fields and nurture Spirit Medicine in the Huzhong Cave Heaven, just like those Immortal Sect markets, or even invite some Loose Cultivators to work for him through the Huzhong Cave Heaven's invitation System?
From doing things himself to having others help him, this was definitely a path to wealth!
Su Ping seemed to see a beautiful future beckoning to him.
He quickly took a deep breath, calming his agitation.
His right hand tightened its grip on the Fishing rod again.
"Don't think so much about things that haven't happened yet."
"I'm still just an ordinary Fishing enthusiast. I need to focus on the present and catch all the remaining fish!"
"May the God of Fishing bless me, I'm not greedy, just two more... oh no, just one Azure Spirit Fish will do!"
Su Ping cast his Fishing rod, resuming his Fishing.
Unfortunately, it seemed his luck had been used up by the Azure Spirit Fish, as the next five catches were all just Little Green Fish.
"Having Little Green Fish is good too. I exchanged all my previous catches for fishing coins, and now I need Little Green Fish to exchange for the Return City Talismanic Incantation."
Su Ping shook his head slightly, and using his old trick of physically binding a Big Green Fish from Linyue Lake to shore, he stood up, ending his Fishing activities for the day.
Returning to Linyue Manor, Su Ping looked at his game inventory.
In the inventory were the catches from this Fishing trip, totaling 40 Little Green Fish, 9 Big Green Fish, and 1 Azure Spirit Fish.
"Return City Talismanic Incantation exchange requirements: 100 Little Green Fish, 10 Big Green Fish, 1 Azure Spirit Fish!"
"I've already obtained the Azure Spirit Fish, which is the hardest to get. The remaining Little Green Fish and Big Green Fish are just a matter of time."
"As for Cultivation needs, I still have 150 fishing coins left from my last exchange, which is enough for me to use for a while!"
"My luck was good today, it's time to celebrate!"
That day at noon, upon Su Ping's order, everyone in Linyue Manor received rewards of varying amounts, and a flowing feast was set up, allowing all the servants in the manor to enjoy delicious food.
Many newly recruited poor servants received meat buns to take home for the first time.
The reputation of Immortal Master Su Ping's generosity spread widely throughout the Jinque City territory.
"Using small favors to win over Mortals?"
"Heh! Our Inspector is not bad!"
"It seems he plans to stay in our Jinque City for a long time."
In Jinque City, inside the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord and others, upon hearing this, began to speculate.
They were completely unaware that this was truly just a spontaneous act by Su Ping because he was in a good mood.
With the Fishing System, Su Ping's perspective was already on a completely different level than these local powers in Jinque City.
"Hmph... Let's observe a bit more. Before the next transaction, let's hint at something."
"If he's truly that perceptive, it's not impossible for us to share some profit on that matter."
The City Lord set the tone in a low voice.
Among the others, many were unwilling, but thinking of the Inspector's identity and the City Lord's prestige, they had no choice but to bow their heads and agree.
...
Inside Linyue Manor, in the master's room.
Su Ping, who had advanced to Qi Condensation Fourth Layer a week ago, took the purification spiritual medicine for the second time.
This time, Su Ping resisted the temptation of the purification spiritual medicine.
He controlled the dosage, taking only one-tenth of a bottle of purification spiritual medicine, which was the minimum effective dose for the Spirit Medicine: one milliliter.
"Hoo!"
After taking the Spirit Medicine, Su Ping immediately closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then let out a long breath of white Qi.
Immediately, joy flashed in his eyes:
"The purification spiritual medicine's mention of 'no higher than Rank 3' is definitely much higher than the Qi Condensation stage in Cultivation!"
"This past week, I consumed the amount of Peiyuan Pill I would have in an entire year before, and I even used defective pills!"
"If it were before, after consuming these three defective Peiyuan Pills, I would never have hoped to advance in this life."
"But now, with just one milliliter of purification spiritual medicine, I've completely recovered as before!"
"In terms of magical power progress, this week is equivalent to three months of arduous Cultivation before!"
Su Ping took out a defective Peiyuan Pill and gently held it in his mouth.
Feeling the medicinal power slowly releasing into his body, his magical power began to slowly increase.
Su Ping was filled with emotion:
"I've never Cultivated so fast!"
"At this rate, if nothing unexpected happens!"
"Before I'm fifty!"
"I, Foundation Establishment is within reach!"
