Chapter 245: A Fish That Spits Bubbles(1/2)
Chapter 245 The fish that spits bubbles
In the blink of an eye.
It has been five years since Fang Chang came to Xiaohu Island.
For five years, Fang Chang lived in seclusion and rarely left the small lake island. He meditated every day to practice his Qi. Occasionally, when he had free time, he would pick up his fishing rod and catch fish by the water all day long.
Although the fishing ground belongs to the Li family, Fang Chang caught a few fish as a tribute and no one said anything.
In addition to spiritual fish, there are also common fish species such as grass carp, carp, and crucian carp in the fishery.
The Xiaohudao fishery has been operating for many years, so Fang Chang needs little effort.
And the Li family seemed to have forgotten that there was such a worshipper.
Except for the fact that there is no shortage of profits from the fishery every year and a gift is given during holidays, basically no one bothers Fang Chang at other times.
Fang Chang was naturally happy and relaxed.
This day.
Fang Chang exhaled gently and stopped his energy, watching the level flash on the panel in front of him.
In five years, with enough resources, his cultivation level has been upgraded to another level, and he can start to break through the middle stage of Nascent Soul at the next level.
This upgrade speed is naturally not as fast as that of the Lord of Heaven and Earth.
If he were in Qingxiao City, within five years, he would have been in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and he would not have been promoted to a mere first level.
However, if calculated in terms of the time of the main world, at a hundred times the flow rate, five years would only last about half a month.
In other words, he can level up in half a month.
Even if it takes ten years to break through to the next level, it actually only takes about a month. Of course, it takes ten years to consume life span.
But compared to his thousand years of life, Fang Chang felt it was a good deal.
Moreover, my next breakthrough in a small realm will also lead to a small increase in lifespan.
People feel refreshed when happy events occur.
Fang Chang opened the door, picked up the fishing rod and walked towards the water.
On the water, fisherman Xiaogang Daqiang was packing up his fishing nets on a fishing boat.
Seeing Fang Chang carrying the fishing rod, the two of them were not surprised and hurriedly pulled the boat over to say hello.
"I've seen Master Shizong."
Fang Chang nodded and said: "You are busy, there is no need to take care of me."
He waved towards the water bank, and the magic power turned into a breeze, blowing a small boat over. He stepped onto the boat and paddled on the lake.
"My lord, your magic power is becoming more and more powerful. Look, you can make wind and rain happen with just a single move. I wonder when I will be able to do the same?"
Xiaogang looked at the small boat with its own wind drive system, leaving only Fang Chang with an arrogant back, and was filled with envy.
"What's the use of being envious, we'll be fishing all our lives, but my son can't do that for us.
I plan to save more spiritual stones and send my son to the Li Family Lecture School so that he can truly practice cultivation.
Don't let me be like me and spend my whole life wandering around the second and third levels of Qi refining, only to envy others.
If he can be favored by the nobles in school and join the Li family, he can just be a servant, and he doesn't have to be a fishy person like us all his life."
Time flies, and the once young fisherman now marries a wife, has children, and has a family.
Xiaogang blinked and said, "Brother Qiang, what do you think we can do to you?
We have been getting along for these years, and he has a good temper. As long as he can give me a trick.
Why should our son work as a slave for the Li family?
In the future, if you have the ability, you won’t be able to look like a human being no matter where you go.”
Daqiang's eyes lit up: "Xiao Gang, I didn't expect that your mind can work very fast. I will bring my little bastard over in a few days to try it out."
"Then I'll try too."
Xiaogang also thinks his idea is great.
The two of them suddenly felt very energetic.
"By the way, why are there not as many white sand fish caught these days as before? If this continues, we won't be able to pay enough next time.
Xiaogang, are you lazy?"
"Brother Qiang, I heard that a fish demon came to the lake recently, and it specializes in eating spiritual fish. The catches in several nearby fisheries have been reduced. Do you think it came to our fishery?"
"Let's wait for two more days. It's okay that the fish demon is gone. If it still happens, let's go and tell the worshiper."
"Um."
They all know that the worshiper does not like to be disturbed, so they follow the principle of doing less than doing more.
The fish demon incident was a crime committed on the run, so they could only admit that they were unlucky.
If the Lord Worshiper is alerted, even if the matter is resolved, I'm afraid they won't be in a good mood, and what they seek will be basically impossible.
…
"Fish demon?"
Little did the two of them know that Fang Changer was very smart and had a strong body. Even if he didn't use his spiritual consciousness to monitor the surroundings, his ears and eyes could detect even the slightest movement within a radius of ten miles.
Although the conversation between the two was subtle, there was no attempt to avoid it, and it had already been caught in his ears.
But they knew it, and just as the two of them expected, Fang Chang had no intention of taking care of it.
He is here to practice, not to slay demons.
It's good to be a bastard, but don't want to be in the limelight.
I didn’t hear that several nearby fishing grounds couldn’t do anything about it.
Other fishing grounds also have monks guarding them, and among the large fishing grounds there are foundation-building monks with the same status as him at the moment.
He has done things that others have failed to do. Isn't that just telling others that he is special?
The boat moves with the waves on the lake.
There is an earthworm hanging on the fish hook under the water, twisting with the water patterns, just like a graceful beauty twisting her butt to tell the big fish under the water - big men, come and play.
Soon, the first big fish took the bait.
The float made of thin bamboo slices was pulled down with great force.
With a casual flick of Fang Chang's hand, a grass carp weighing two to three kilograms tilted its body and was thrown flying. Water droplets splashed everywhere, reflecting rainbow colors in the air.
Then the grass carp accurately landed on the fish basket hanging on the side of the boat and was submerged in the water. It gurgled and choked a few mouthfuls of water.
Fang Chang took out the fishhook and hung a fresh earthworm on it.
The earthworm beauty went into the water again, and the fish men, not forgetting to eat but not to fight, once again opened their fish lips towards the beauty.
Fang Chang did not use his spiritual consciousness to cheat, but simply enjoyed the fun of fishing.
The fish seemed to be particularly hungry today. Not long after the hook was lowered, another fish took the bait, which made Fang Chang a little excited.
Could it be that someone else’s fishing skills have risen so quickly?
The fishing line was tight, and another red carp with reddish scales was thrown out of the water, and the red carp was accurately caught in the basket.
"Not bad, it seems that I am not far away from becoming a fishing master."
"But carp and grass carp are not that good. I want to catch white sand carp with this rod."
Put a long fishing line on a square length and let the bait hang into the deep water layer.
White sand carp is a spiritual fish, and its water layer is different from that of carp and grass carp. It mostly lives in the deep water layer.
Fang Chang silently stared at the float on the water. Suddenly, the float was pulled into the water. He pulled hard, and the fishing line made a whooshing sound in the air. A palm-sized, snow-white fish bit the hook and got on the boat.
This fish is the white sand fish specially bred in Xiaohudao fishery.
The meat of this fish is delicious and contains rich water aura. It is white in color and has gravel-like spots on its scales. It is a special medicinal material.
Hence the name white sand fish.
However, white sand fish grows slowly and has high requirements for water quality. It also needs to swallow a special kind of spiritual sand during its growth.
Among the nearby waters, only Xiaohudao has it, so the Xiaohudao fishery has become a specialized white sand fishery.
However, this fish is wary and fearful of people, and will often run away at the first sign of movement.
Two experienced fishermen, Xiao Gang and Da Qiang, worked hard every day to catch fish, which was often only about a hundred kilograms. They kept it in the pond on the island. Every half month, someone from the Li family would come over to collect the fish.
Only every year before spawning, white sand fish need a lot of nutrients. At this time, Xiao Gang and Da Qiang will drop a large amount of nutritious fish food to attract them into the shallow water layer.
Often at this time, one month is worth half a year's harvest.
Being able to catch white sand fish can be said to have entered the realm of a fishing master.
But Fang Chang is quite self-aware. His level of fishing for grass carp is usually not good enough, but today he performed exceptionally well.
