Chapter 21 Red Blood Rainbow Carp
With a sense of crisis in his heart, Su Ping left the workshop and made his way back to Frost Moon Lake.
Su Ping crouched at the Fishing Point, waiting for the Fishing Point to refresh.
This scene was witnessed by the people of Golden Sparrow City, who all marveled that the Inspector was a person capable of great things.
Unperturbed by danger and composed in the face of significant events!
The Immortal Ascension Conference was nearly upon them, and he was fully in charge, yet he still had the composure to fish and calm his mind.
They must have thought that he was considering how to strategize in case of emergencies!
Indeed, none of the prominent figures in Golden Sparrow City believed that Su Ping genuinely enjoyed fishing.
They were more inclined to think that it was a quirk of Inspector Su Ping, who preferred to think in solitude.
Just as some people hide in secret rooms to think, others prefer to ponder in crowded tea houses.
Because of this, these people didn't think Su Ping resembled those frustrated predecessors at all.
Perhaps… the gifts sent next time could be a bit more substantial?
The Ji Hu family, moreover, was convinced by their hypothesis and had already decided that if the Ji family girl was not chosen by the Immortal Ascension Conference, they would send her to Frost Moon Cottage.
Even starting as a maid didn't matter!
[Ding dong! Detected that the Fishing Point count has been refreshed]
[Current Fishing Level: 2nd Level (220/500)]
[Current Fishing Point Grade: First Tier Low Grade]
[Current cumulative available Fishing Count: (60/100)]
[Available Fish Species: Little Green Fish, Big Bluefish, Green Spirit Fish, Red Blood Rainbow Carp]
After waiting for several hours at the Fishing Point, Su Ping suddenly opened his eyes, heard the prompt, and saw the information flash in the corner of his eye.
He showed a faint smile,
"Not bad, not great, refreshed 60 times for fishing."
"Hmm... I should try some mysticism this time in fishing!"
Su Ping stretched out his hand from the storage bag, taking out a pre-charged Bluetooth headset and mobile phone.
As a technological marvel of the information age on Blue Star, mobile phones naturally couldn't connect to the internet in the Immortal Cultivation World.
However, even without internet connectivity, a smartphone still functions powerfully as a comprehensive electronic device.
When Su Ping first handled the phone, he was conscious that using the scientific calculator and many mathematical tools invented by mathematicians
could be very helpful for learning the formations of the Immortal Cultivation World.
However, hampered by his own financial constraints, he had no opportunity to learn formations so far.
Now, Su Ping was using the music playback function of the phone.
Soon, as the Bluetooth headset began to play songs like "Good Luck Comes" and "Sunny Optimistic Big Boy" on loop...
Su Ping lifted the fishing rod and then cast it back into Frost Moon Lake to start the fishing game.
Once, twice… the fifty-ninth time!
As Su Ping reached the fifty-ninth mini-game, catching only Little Green Fish and Big Bluefish,
he decided to change the playlist next time.
[Gained Fishing Experience +1]
[Current Fishing Level: 2nd Level (280/500)]
[Gained Red Blood Rainbow Carp +1]
"Hmm?"
"Wait!"
"Red Blood Rainbow Carp?"
"Hiss! Mysticism really works, actually got a hit!"
This was Su Ping's first time catching a regional specialty fish.
Unable to suppress the thrill in his heart, he quickly looked toward the game warehouse.
[Red Blood Rainbow Carp, Quality: Rare, meaty with few bones, edible, slight consumption enhances physical fitness talent, can be bred in Pot Cave Heaven to increase Spiritual Energy output!]
"Enhance physical fitness talent?"
Su Ping paid attention to this description, not overlooking it due to the words 'slight consumption.'
The benefits of Big Bluefish to the body he had felt these past few days were slow yet lasting and didn't cause harm, far superior to Qi Blood Pill.
Yet such effects weren't even worth mentioning in the system description.
The potential physical enhancement of the Red Blood Rainbow Carp is truly something to look forward to!
"The items available for exchange in the Fishing Mall mainly come from the normal output of the Fishing Points, except for some souvenirs, they generally don't involve special species of fish."
"So I don't have to worry that using this Red Blood Rainbow Carp will prevent me from exchanging for the exclusive item in the Fishing Mall in the short term!"
As Su Ping thought this, he didn't actually take out the Red Blood Rainbow Carp at Frost Moon Lake.
After all, it was a precious fish haul, and who knows if there would be any fluctuations in spiritual power once he took it out?
If a high-tier cultivator noticed, there would be no end to his tears.
Su Ping had already planned to use up the fishing point counts on Blue Star after returning, then enjoy this unexpected surprise there!
"Aside from the Red Blood Rainbow Carp, I've also gotten 50 Little Green Fish and 9 Big Bluefish."
"Right, how much is this Red Blood Rainbow Carp worth?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, a Red Blood Rainbow Carp is worth 200 Fishing Coins?"
"But I'm not lacking Fishing Coins right now, and the coins can be slowly accumulated with Little Green Fish and Big Bluefish, yet who knows when I can catch another Red Blood Rainbow Carp."
"Turning it into coins would be the worst choice!"
Su Ping made up his mind, casually caught an unlucky Big Grass Carp into his fish pouch, and then leisurely walked back to Frost Moon Villa.
A few hours later.
A glow flashed in a certain cave.
Meanwhile, a transcendental cultivator appeared at East King Temple on Blue Star.
Su Ping, well-acquainted with the place, went to the fishing point on Blue Star, located at the upstream reservoir in the eastern area.
This fishing point also refreshed with 60 Fishing Counts.
It just seemed like he had used up all his luck in the Immortal Cultivation World.
Even though he continued playing 'Good Fortune Comes' and 'Sunny Optimistic Big Boy.'
Su Ping could still only catch 50 Little Green Fish and 10 Big Bluefish.
However!
Su Ping looked at his fishing experience.
[Current Fishing Level: 2 (340/500)]
"Two fishing points, each refreshes the fishing counts between 50 and 70 times."
"Each fishing session earns one point of experience."
"In two more weeks, even with the minimum counts, my fishing level can be raised to level 3!"
"Every odd level unlocks more exchangeable items in the Fishing Mall."
"I remember the Pot Cave Heaven, acting as a quasi-home system, is something players could get early on."
"Once upgraded to level 3, I should be able to exchange for the Pot Cave Heaven!"
Thinking about obtaining his own secret realm,
Su Ping couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
He also hoped secretly that if any upheaval occurred in the Immortal Cultivation World, it would be after he had acquired the Pot Cave Heaven.
With a personal secret realm in hand, if he encountered an unbeatable foe, he could immediately hide in the Pot Cave Heaven.
Su Ping contemplated his region and identity.
He should not encounter enemies who wouldn't even allow him time to hide, right?
And if there really was major chaos, where danger lurked at every moment,
then he might as well return to Blue Star and slowly cultivate in the Pot Cave Heaven, laying low for several years or even a decade.
Su Ping didn't believe that after laying low for so long, he couldn't avoid this calamity!
Even if Nascent Soul Old Monsters clashed, a victor should have emerged after more than ten years, setting new rules, right?
From the fishing point, he returned to East King Temple.
It was now noon.
It was just when the little Taoist Zhou Xuan was preparing lunch.
When Su Ping saw Zhou Xuan, a thought struck him.
He took a Little Green Fish out of the storage and placed it in the fish pouch.
Then, facing Zhou Xuan's surprised gaze, Su Ping, smiling, placed the fish pouch on the table:
"Kid, you're in for a treat today."
"Try this Spirit Fish I caught from the secret realm!"
