Chapter 26: Immortal Treasure, Space Ring

Noon on the second day.

After spending a delightful night with his wife Su Weiwei, Jiang Fan felt refreshed.

However, today was the day the eighth-grade opportunity would appear, so he didn't stay at home wasting time.

Otherwise, if he missed this eighth-grade opportunity, he would definitely regret it.

Soon after, Jiang Fan paddled the upturned boat towards the direction indicated by the opportunity and quickly arrived at the location, but the time had not yet come.

He took out a fishing net from the boat and threw it onto the surface of the lake.

Although his fishing skills were only at the entry-level, he could easily handle simple tasks like this.

Immediately, the fishing net covered the area.

11:45 AM.

Buzz~~

The originally calm lake surface began to churn, and fish seemed startled, swimming towards Jiang Fan's fishing boat as if greatly frightened.

They didn't even notice the fishing net ahead and just swam right into it.

"A great harvest."

"Could this be the eighth-grade opportunity?"

Jiang Fan was overjoyed. For a while before, he hadn't had much luck at Yunmeng Lake, barely catching enough fish each day to cover the dock fees.

Unexpectedly, the fish now were practically delivering themselves into his net.

It was simply as if they were willing bait.

Upon a closer look, he noticed the fish seemed to be chased by a large, red fish.

This red fish looked to weigh at least a dozen jin and was covered with dense red patterns, clearly different from the other fish, emanating a strong blood qi.

Treasure Fish!

No doubt, this was the renowned Red-Scaled Treasure Fish of Yunmeng Lake.

One such Red-Scaled Treasure Fish would be worth several dozen taels of silver.

If sold in Prefecture City, it could easily fetch over a hundred taels.

For martial artists, the fish meat of the Red-Scaled Treasure Fish contained immense energy, consuming it could quickly increase their internal Qi and Blood Power, improving cultivation efficiency.

Just one treasure fish could match half a year of arduous training.

So it's clear that for martial artists, a treasure fish is an invaluable treasure of heaven and earth.

Boom~~

With this in mind, Jiang Fan sensed his fishing net tightening crazily, as a large number of fish darted into it, trying to escape.

The force was enormous.

If it were the pre-martial arts Jiang Fan, he might have lost his grip.

It would have been impossible to haul up all the fish in the net.

But now, advanced to the Refining Flesh Realm, Jiang Fan's body strength reached seven to eight hundred jin.

For him now, the weight of these fish was negligible.

Thud!

At this moment, Jiang Fan grabbed the fishing net with both hands and with a light pull, lifted the entire net onto the boat with ease, and a large number of fish heavily thudded onto the deck.

Constrained by the net, even if the fish wanted to leap away or struggle, it was in vain.

Of course, the treasure fish—the Red-Scaled Treasure Fish seemed aware of the immense danger and tried to escape.

But Jiang Fan stepped forward and with a gentle slap of the hand, thud, the Red-Scaled Treasure Fish struck the deck heavily, stunned into unconsciousness.

"Such a treasure, but it must remain unseen."

Seeing the lively fish in the boat, Jiang Fan felt immensely satisfied. It was his first time experiencing such a bountiful harvest, which alone compared to several days of prior earnings.

Of course, the greatest gain was this Red-Scaled Treasure Fish.

Alone, it's worth more than countless mortal fish.

Unfortunately, this treasure fish could not see the light of day, nor could it be taken ashore.

If the Dragon King Gang discovered the treasure fish, they would likely seize it.

Even if they paid, giving at most ten or so taels would be the limit.

For ordinary fishermen, ten taels of silver would be a windfall.

If the villagers knew, who knows how much jealousy would be incited, possibly even theft.

"Might as well just eat it."

Jiang Fan decided decisively, with no hesitation, as he certainly didn't want to let the Dragon King Gang have it for cheap.

Rather than have it stolen, he might as well eat it himself.

Moreover, now being a Refining Flesh Realm martial artist, consuming the treasure fish would undoubtedly boost his martial arts cultivation significantly.

With that thought, he began to cook.

Despite the small size, the upturned boat was like a sparrow, small but complete in every way.

It had many cooking tools.

Fishermen often spend a whole day fishing, with no time to return home.

So naturally, they choose to eat on the fishing boat.

The cooking method was simple, just boiling it and adding some seasoning, solving the problem.

However, the Red-Scaled Treasure Fish was too large, over a dozen jin.

Jiang Fan used a knife to cut it into several pieces, then placed it in the pot to boil.

Before long, he had gutted the Red-Scaled Treasure Fish.

"What is this? A ring?"

The moment Jiang Fan cut open the fish's belly, he found a ring hidden inside, bronze-colored, engraved with some peculiar patterns, looking similar to those sold at stalls.

"Could this be the real eighth-grade opportunity?"

Jiang Fan felt a stirring in his heart, he instinctively sensed that the ring was extraordinary, perhaps more valuable than the Red-Scaled Treasure Fish itself, but he didn't know its purpose.

Boom~~

At that instant, a mysterious energy surged from him, merging into the ring, then he felt a slight decrease in luck points, and realized he had established a connection with the ring.

Thud!

In the next second, his consciousness seemed to enter deep inside the ring, finding a three-cubic-meter space, but it was empty.

Even so, he was inwardly shocked.

"No way, is it real? Could it be a Space Ring?"

Jiang Fan clenched his fists, a storm raging in his heart, at a loss for words.

This was a legendary treasure, one which ordinary people couldn't possess.

If a Space Ring existed, perhaps immortals in this world did too.

However, he wasn't too surprised by this.

After all, if forces as mysterious as Life Charts existed, the existence of cultivators was also possible.

Nothing to be surprised about.

"No wonder it's the eighth-grade opportunity, this is incredible."

Jiang Fan was thrilled, for even though the Space Ring contained no treasures, its mere existence was priceless to mortals.

With a Space Ring, he could store all his belongings inside it.

Even if a thief entered his home, they could not find his possessions.

If he encountered danger, he could carry everything and flee, with no worry of leaving anything behind.

The three-cubic-meter space could store a lot.

Like a small portable warehouse.
