Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman

Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Fishing Immortal!

“It’s done!”

“Hahaha, Taoist, I did it!”

Inside the study at Frost Moon Manor.

Su Ping held up a Featherweight Talisman, its ink still wet, laughing unrestrainedly.

Though it was one of the simplest talismans.

Yet this success unfolded a new grand path before him.

From then on!

He, Su Ping, was also a master of Immortal Cultivation Techniques!

Moreover, through the process of continuously drawing, failing, and drawing again.

Su Ping gradually found his brush strokes becoming smoother and more satisfying, and inspiration kept bubbling up in his mind like it was free, giving him the illusion that his writing was divinely inspired.

“I had tried Artifact Refining, Alchemy, and Formation before, but I never felt this way.”

“Could it be that I am actually a deeply hidden talisman path genius? Just suffering from not having a teacher to introduce me.”

“So now that I’ve begun, I’ve immediately found my groove?”

Su Ping solemnly placed this first talisman into a wooden box to cherish.

If he became a Great Talisman Master later, this talisman would hold significant historical value.

Who knows how many forces wishing to curry favor with him will drive its price through the roof!

“However, the knowledge of each Immortal Cultivation Technique is as vast as the ocean; exhaustively mastering one in a lifetime is exceedingly difficult.”

“It already takes a substantial amount of time to learn one technique.”

“Learning a few others… might be feasible in the initial stages.”

“But going deeper would leave me spread too thinly.”

While he was excited, he still objectively analyzed his current situation.

“However, having the skills is a good thing, and with the help of Mana Potions and Life Potions, I can practice dozens of times more each day than other Qi Refinement cultivators.”

“Work hard, and in a month I could accomplish what others take two and a half years to achieve…”

“Completely passable as a legitimate way to earn Spirit Stones from an outsider’s perspective!”

“Phew, the talisman is successful, and my mental block is resolved!”

“It’s time to go fishing!”

Su Ping left the study, donned a bamboo hat, and headed to the Frost Moon Lake fishing point to start angling.

During this period, the people at Frost Moon Manor had grown accustomed to this sight.

The Ji Family even deployed two Loose Cultivators and over a hundred Martial Artists to serve as the manor’s Guard Team, ensuring that the Inspector was not disturbed in any way.

Even eagles flying overhead would be shot down by strong bows and powerful crossbows.

[Fishing Experience +1!]

[Current Fishing Level: 3 (140/1000)]

[Current Fishing Point has exhausted its uses for now… please come back next time!]

Checking the information flow, the fishing point refreshed up to the maximum of 70 times this session, marking a triumphant start.

He caught 45 Little Green Fish and 25 Big Bluefish.

Little Green Fish could be exchanged for one Fishing Coin, while Big Bluefish were worth five.

Thinking quickly, Su Ping exchanged 5 Little Green Fish and 5 Big Bluefish for a total of 30 Fishing Coins.

He then purchased new Purification Spirit Medicine and a Grotto Heaven-specific card pack.

“Let’s open it!”

[Spirit Summoning Civet Cat, Partner, Quality: Common, Grotto Heaven Specific]

[Note: Initial Partner Favorability: 60 (Friendly), below 20 (Dislike) may randomly leave Grotto Heaven]

“It’s a Partner Card!”

“A partner has much higher autonomic capabilities compared to a puppet, nearly indistinguishable from a real person!”

“Moreover, while playing games, those partners with earth-shattering abilities could also be summoned, although limited by the game’s structure, they can only be interactive figurines within Grotto Heaven.”

“Considering those incredible fish catches, if I could actually summon them to live in Grotto Heaven, hiss…”

“Getting a partner from a card pack has great potential!”

“The future holds promise!”

Su Ping thought of the partners he could get, including various immortals, demons, even Divine Kings and Demon Lords.

With their help, even if just an avatar descends, it could still bring him endless benefits!

Swish!

He reeled in a big carp, ensuring the tradition of the Fishing Man never leaving empty-handed was upheld.

Su Ping left the fish catches for the servants to handle and then left Frost Moon Lake.

Half an hour later.

Water Blue Star, reservoir Fishing Point.

Su Ping was about to start fishing.

Suddenly, he saw a fishing team that seemed to be live-streaming near the shore.

“Hello, everyone, I’m Fishing Brother, welcome to watch ‘Catch Everything but Fish’ on time!”

“Thanks to the big tip from I Am Fish!”

“Thanks for the rocket from the Almighty Void!”

Su Ping, whose hearing was too good, quickly heard the host’s voice.

He shook his head slightly, not bothering to pay attention and started fishing.

While he fished, he noticed that the nearby fishing host was quite earnest.

His team even had a diver take a detour and sneak into the reservoir, then hook all sorts of bizarre items onto the line according to the live coordinator’s commands for Fishing Brother.

They even mimicked big fish, purposely tugging on the fishing rod to create an atmosphere.

Then, as soon as they pulled up a water-filled safety balloon,

a burst of mockery and various complaints erupted on Fishing Brother’s live channel.

“It’s not just post-effects in late production, this live team is really putting in effort.”

Su Ping commented inwardly and then suddenly shuddered.

He looked at the information flow:

[Fishing experience gained +1]

[Green Spirit Fish +1]

“Green Spirit Fish!”

“I thought even with a level up, I’d have to wait a few more times for a chance.”

“I didn’t expect that when I wasn’t even trying, it just came like this!”

“Whew, don’t get excited, just finish the attempts before slowly exchanging.”

Su Ping continued to fish.

Meanwhile, the nearby fishing team had Fishing Brother catching debris like tattered dolls, ancient clocks, and such,

falling into a calm period of normal fishing and chit-chatting.

That’s when they noticed the fisherman-looking Su Ping wearing a bamboo hat.

“Looks like a Taoist!”

“I think he has been fishing here for a while, I saw him when the host started streaming.”

“Host, why not interview that Fishing Man and see who can fish better!”

“Fishing is never about catching fish, you can only fish for trash to live like this…”

“Damn!”

“You guys, look what that is!”

Just as the Fishing Brother’s camera turned towards Su Ping, the channel’s live chat went wild.

They suddenly saw the white-robed Fishing Man slowly stand up.

Then, holding the fishing gear in one hand, he gave it a flick!

The sound of splashing water was so loud that even the host could hear it.

Immediately!

A big black fish at least half a meter long was pulled out of the water and fell at the Fishing Man’s feet.

“Masterful indeed!”

“This is a big fish the host could never catch in his lifetime!”

“Don’t worry, next time I bet the host can catch a one and a half meter long big fish!”

“With the host’s fishing equipment, if he really encountered such a big fish, at least 30 kilograms, it wouldn’t be him fishing, but the fish walking the host!”

As they joked, they suddenly realized that the Fishing Man had returned the big black fish he caught back into the water, and after doing so, he picked up his gear and nonchalantly floated away.

Even though they were too far to clearly see Su Ping’s handsome face,

they could still sense the Taoist’s indifference and ease with the mundane world.

“This is definitely a true hermit!”

“Host, quickly check if there’s any Taoist temple nearby with this True Cultivator, I want to seek the way!”

“To be able to catch and release, valuing the process over the result, a Fishing Immortal! This Fishing Man truly deserves to be called a Fishing Immortal!”
