Chapter 39 (1/2)

<header></header>

Li Fuchen undertook a fis.h.i.+ng errand which was simple, like most of the outer sect disciples’ jobs.

The fis.h.i.+ng spot was located at Cang Lan Lake situated at the center of the Cang Lan Mountains.

This was a 7-8 mile wide lake, and it went as deep as one could imagine. It is said that at the bottom of the lake is an unique treasure. It emitted a qi that caused all the fishes to mutate. All normal or demonic fishes turned into treasure fish.

Treasure fish too have their own rarity tier and the Cang Lan Sect segmented them into: Normal, first tier, second tier, third tier, etc…

Treasure fish are exceedingly high in nutritional value. If medicinal pills and herbs were called medicine nourishment; treasure fishes would be food nourishment.

But treasure fishes aren’t easy to hook.

Even a small sized normal treasure fish of the lowest rank had the power of tens of kilograms. Big sized normal treasure fishes had strength that ranged from hundreds to the thousands of kilograms.

By weight, a normal treasure fish was worth 10 contribution points per kilogram; a first tier treasure fish would be 100 points per kg, etc…

Before even starting to fish, one would first need a good rod and rare bait.

Both fis.h.i.+ng rods and bait were categorized into normal, first tier, and second tier as well.

After giving it a thought, Li Fuchen spent 3000 gold to purchase a second tier rod and 500 gold for 50 boxes of first tier bait.

Following the mountain tracks, Li Fuchen finally arrived at the lakeside of Cang Lan Lake 3 days later.

With a look at the lake, it was clear blue and pristine. The surface of the lake reflected the sunlight, like a crystal with rainbow colors, blinking with blinding radiance.

At Cang Lan Lake, in order to hook up fishes quickly, a suitable fis.h.i.+ng bay was of utmost importance. It would be inefficient if you were to start casting at the sh.o.r.es, as the rate of success was far lower.

2 hours later, Li Fuchen was satisfied with the fis.h.i.+ng bay he found. The fis.h.i.+ng bay looked like a stone bridge, it reached far into the deeper parts of the lake. On it were many huts that were meant for disciples that were here to fish and sleep during the night.

“Finally an empty hut.”

There were other fis.h.i.+ng bays at the front that Li Fuchen liked, but unfortunately, all the huts were occupied.

After unpacking his belongings, Li Fuchen grabbed the rod and bait, then walked to the edge of the fis.h.i.+ng bay.

A single fis.h.i.+ng bay could have up to dozens of people fis.h.i.+ng. When Li Fuchen just arrived, the 100 meter round platform had people fis.h.i.+ng there, 20 meters apart from each other.

“Senior Luo, there is a newcomer.” A tanned youth giggled happily. The best spots were occupied by the elder disciples and the tanned youth is one of them.

Not far away was another young and stalwart looking man around the age of 17, he sized up Li Fuchen and spoke, “Hopefully he can catch more treasure fish, then we can draw some of it from him.”

“Aieee, catching treasure fishes is too difficult. Having a few within a week is already good enough.” The tanned youth didn’t paid attention to Li Fuchen anymore and went back to concentrate on fis.h.i.+ng.

With time pa.s.sing gradually, Li Fuchen patiently waited. When it was almost evening, the rod moved slightly.

Li Fuchen eyebrows twitched, he quickly lifted the rod.

“What powerful strength!”

Feeling the pull force, Li Fuchen estimated that this fish was weighed at least in the tens of kg. Had it been a normal person pulling it, they would have been dragged into the water.

Splas.h.!.+

A silverish white fish suddenly broke out from the water.

This fish was the size of a palm, it was covered in silverish white scales that looked like it was forged with metal, and thus had a indescribable texture.
