Courtyard House: Wudang Disciple Sweeps Through the Compound

Whether they are large fish or small fish, or different species of aquatic animals such as grass carp, common carp, silver carp, and mandarin fish, they all gather together in one place, forming a dense group that almost fills the underwater space of this area.

Fortunately, the corner Chen Wenqi chose was secluded and had excellent privacy. If others were to witness this astonishing scene, other fishing enthusiasts on Shicha Beach would surely gather around to investigate, which would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.

A moment later, Chen Wenqi heard a clear sound of a fish biting the hook from his fishing rod. The rod bent slightly downwards, and the pulling force from underwater was clearly audible.

But then Chen Wenqi thought again that his mental power could cover a radius of ten meters and he could directly capture any item within that range, so why bother fishing one by one?

His eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly released his mental energy. The next second, all the scenes in the water were clearly presented in his mind. There were hundreds of fish of all sizes, including a large blue carp weighing more than ten kilograms, whose size was truly eye-catching.

Chen Wenqi tried to control the fish with his mind, hoping to see if he could directly store them in his Xuanwu Secret Realm, thus eliminating the tedious steps of fishing.

With a soft "whoosh," hundreds of fish in the water vanished without a trace. Chen Wenqi clearly sensed that a group of lively fish had appeared out of nowhere in the open space of the Xuanwu Secret Realm, swimming around everywhere.

Chen Wenqi was overjoyed. He hadn't expected that this method would actually work. With this trick, it was much easier and more convenient than fishing one fish at a time, and the efficiency was more than double.

So Chen Wenqi had a thought, and a fishpond of suitable size was created out of thin air in the open space of the Xuanwu Secret Realm. The spiritual spring water that seeped continuously from the underground of the secret realm quickly filled the fishpond, and the water was clear and sweet.

He released all the hundreds of fish he had just brought in into the fishpond in the Xuanwu Secret Realm. He couldn't help but wonder if the fish that grew in the spiritual spring water would have different meat quality than ordinary fish, and whether they would be more tender and delicious.

Of course, Chen Wenqi also knew that some aquatic plants needed to be planted in the fishpond to form a complete ecological environment so that the fish could survive and grow better.

The waters around Shichahai were full of aquatic plants of various kinds. Chen Wenqi took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and quietly collected some aquatic plants, lotus flowers and lotus roots, and put them into the fishpond in the secret realm. The originally empty fishpond was instantly transformed into a vibrant small ecological zone.

The fish in the pond were exceptionally active, swimming and darting happily in the water. The newly introduced aquatic plants immediately burst into life, and the lotus flowers took root, sprouted, blossomed, and bore fruit at a visible speed, quickly covering one-third of the pond's area, creating a beautiful and elegant scene.

At this rate of growth, it won't be long before the entire fishpond is filled with lotus flowers and aquatic plants, which will eventually affect the fish's living space.

Chen Wenqi immediately used his mind to communicate with the system in his body, asking the system to help control the ecological balance of the fishpond, so that the amount of aquatic plants and lotus flowers could be maintained at a reasonable level, so as not to affect the activity of the fish and to maintain the stability of the ecosystem.

If the lotus roots and lotus seeds are ripe, a portion will be automatically harvested and stored in the secret realm's warehouse to avoid waste;

Larger fish can be processed and stored in warehouses once their flesh reaches its optimal condition, ensuring the pond maintains a perfect ecological cycle and achieves sustainable development.

Looking at the wondrous changes taking place in the Xuanwu Secret Realm, Chen Wenqi felt a surge of inexplicable satisfaction and accomplishment, and his expectations for the future grew even stronger.

The experience of personally designing and building your own little world is truly captivating.

After finishing these trivial matters, Chen Wenqi's consciousness withdrew from the secret realm and returned to reality. He planned to catch a few more big fish, deliberately attracting the attention of those around him, and then sell the fish for some money. He would also buy some vegetable and grain seeds to take back to the secret realm and properly plan the undeveloped planting area.

But just as he picked up the bait again to put it on the hook, his mental power suddenly sensed that there seemed to be a wooden box hidden in the depths of the water, about seven or eight meters away.

Judging from its appearance, the wooden box is not very large, with a width of about 20 to 30 centimeters.

However, the wooden box was exquisitely crafted, exuding a rustic and elegant charm. Chen Wenqi quickly concentrated his mental energy to examine it carefully, and was greatly surprised by what he found—the wooden box was actually filled with glittering gold bars. Judging from the quantity and purity, there must have been at least dozens of these "big yellow croakers".

Indeed, the waterways of Beijing hold many untold stories. Places like Shichahai, the city moat, and Beihai Park may still hold even more precious treasures sleeping beneath their waters.

With a thought, Chen Wenqi immediately put the wooden box into the secret realm, intending to examine its contents carefully when he returned.

He then channeled his spiritual power to probe the depths of the riverbed, and was immediately overjoyed to find a wealth of treasures at the bottom: silver ingots, gold ingots, ancient bronze coins, porcelain jars and other porcelain items, and even several jade bracelets and pendants scattered around.

This is just the harvest from the waters near him; there must be many treasures hidden elsewhere as well.

Chen Wenqi suppressed his excitement, scooped up all the treasures in the surrounding waters, then rebaited his fish and continued fishing with peace of mind.

Not long after, the sound of splashing water came again, clearly indicating that a school of fish had taken the bait.

This time, Chen Wenqi did not put all the fish into the pond in the secret realm, but only selected a few turtles that were attracted by the bait and put them in.

He then suddenly pulled up the fishing rod, and a large grass carp weighing more than ten kilograms was pulled ashore.

Just then, an elderly man who happened to be passing by saw what was happening and quickly came over.

"Oh my, young man, you're incredibly lucky! This big bluefish must weigh at least ten kilograms. It's a rare sight in Shichahai!" the old man said, his face full of amazement.

Chen Wenqi turned his head and smiled, responding with a hint of surprise in his voice.

"I never expected to be so lucky today, to actually catch such a big fish."

"Young man, can you sell me this fish?" The old man's eyes were full of delight. "It's three cents a pound at the market, I'll give you fifty cents. This fish looks like it weighs less than twenty pounds, I'll give you ten dollars directly, how about that?"
