Starting with fishing, I've traversed a chaotic world of demons and martial arts.

"This glowing fish...could it be the treasure fish?"

This fish has a very large head, and its body is almost split in half, making it look extremely strange and funny!

Li Tianxing was overjoyed!

With his legs swaying, he looked like a ghost from underwater.

They quickly approached the big, fat fish.

Li Tianxing took the net and went straight to Baoyu's side.

Baoyu seemed to have sensed something.

But Li Tianxing's speed underwater was simply too fast.

Just as Baoyu was about to escape, he was caught in Li Tianxing's net!

"Hahaha, we're rich now!"

Li Tianxing gripped the net tightly.

He watched the precious fish struggling in the net, and then began to swim to the surface with satisfaction.

[Technique: Fishing (Beginner)]

Progress: (216/300)

My "fishing" progress has increased from 200 to 216.

It went up 16 points! That's equivalent to a whole day's earnings in the shallow end!

Li Tianxing floated to the surface of the water with a big smile on his face.

But then they discovered a boat hovering right next to their small sampan...

……

When Wang Li saw the person surfacing, his eyes widened in surprise:

"Tianxing...it really is you?!"

A sharp-eyed crew member on the boat spotted the large, fat fish in Li Tianxing's hand:

"Brother Li, could that fish he caught in the net be a treasure fish?"

Wang Li's gaze slowly moved down from Li Tianxing's face.

Only then did they notice what was inside the net in Li Tianxing's hand...

We actually caught a treasure fish!

"This is, this is a silver carp?"

Tianxing, you actually caught the treasure fish?!

The other men nearby also began to discuss among themselves:

Wow, it's been so long since I've seen Baoyu!

This big silver carp is worth at least twenty silver dollars!

"An ordinary person who catches this big silver carp could rest for months!"

"Since the young master asked us to fish, why don't we just buy this fish? Wouldn't that save the brothers the trouble of going through all that trouble?"

"Yeah, brothers, and they're so efficient."

The young master will surely reward us handsomely!

"..."

Li Tianxing pushed off with both feet and leaped effortlessly from the water.

Step onto the sampan.

He then threw the large silver carp into his fish basket.

Water droplets slowly trickled down his muscular physique.

It then evaporated under Li Tianxing's powerful qi and blood, turning into wisps of water vapor.

Li Tianxing began to put on his clothes and said:

"Brother Li, what brings you here?"

Wang Li's gaze remained fixed on the large silver carp, and only then did he calm down.

"Tianxing, to be honest with you."

My goal this time is to catch a treasure fish!

Li Tianxing was already dressed and buttoning his clothes:

"Catching this treasure fish took me a lot of effort, and I almost lost half my life!"

Furthermore, I've heard that the treasure fish is beneficial to martial arts practitioners; I wonder if that's true or not?

Only then did Wang Li have time to carefully observe Li Tianxing's condition.

This kid has been underwater for so long, yet he shows no signs of fatigue.

Moreover, when they emerge from the water, they have a radiant glow.

Could it be that I misjudged him before, and that he actually knows martial arts?

This explains why he was catching fish so quickly!

But... if you know kung fu, why bother going into the water to catch fish?

Tianxing, oh Tianxing, you've really hidden yourself well...

Wang Li wasn't stupid; he could tell that Li Tianxing was no ordinary person.

"Brother Tianxing, the treasure fish is indeed useful for martial arts practitioners, and it has a great nourishing effect on those who are in the Body Tempering Realm."

"I wonder if you'd be willing to part with it today? I, Wang Li, am willing to pay half the market price to buy this large silver carp!"

Li Tianxing didn't rush to agree; he thought about it for a moment...

Brother Li has always been good to me, so if I really want to sell to him, that's fine too.

If I want to eat it, I'll just go down to the river and catch another one later...

Seeing that Li Tianxing didn't speak, the crew member on the boat assumed he didn't want to sell, so he quickly continued:

"Brother, we're definitely not buying this big silver carp to eat ourselves."

"To tell you the truth, it's my young master who wants it, Young Master Song, understand?"

Wang Li glanced at the man beside him, but did not say anything.

If they can buy this precious fish from Li Tianxing, they will have accomplished their mission for today.

Moreover, Wang Li, as the team leader, was highly efficient in his work.

They will surely receive the greatest rewards!

Most importantly, the fish market is a business owned by the Song family.

As long as Wang Li and Song Ming get along well.

That way, there will be even more room for improvement in the future!

He might even rise from a foreman in the fish market to become the manager...

Li Tianxing was about to agree.

But upon hearing the waiter's words, he asked:

"Is this the precious fish that Young Master Song wanted?"

Recalling the Song and Ming Dynasties...

Li Tianxing then recalled the look of disgust in the other person's eyes when they saw him discarding the cigarette butt.

And that phrase lingered in his ears.

"It stinks!"

Three words!

When the crew on the boat saw Li Tianxing asking questions, they assumed it was Song Ming's name that had intimidated him.

So he said in a very casual manner:

"That's right, it's exactly what my young master wanted."

As a fisherman, you should know who owns our fish market, right?

Li Tianxing smiled and shook his head:

"Excuse me, Brother Li."

As you can probably tell, I am also a martial arts practitioner.

So I also need this big silver carp.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed in the water for so long today...

All for catching a treasure fish.

Just as the waiter next to him was about to speak, Wang Li stopped him.

Wang Li continued:

"Tianxing, I know you also need this treasure fish to replenish your body's energy and blood."

How about this, I'll still give you a price that's more than half the market price, and I'll waive all your fees from now on.

And this little sampan, I'll give it to you!

Seeing that Wang Li had already put it this way, Li Tianxing spoke up:

"Brother Li, I will always remember how good you have been to me."

But sometimes...

One cannot live solely to please others.

Live for yourself occasionally.

There's nothing seriously wrong with it, right?

So I'll eat this big silver carp myself today.

If I catch a second treasure fish later, I'll definitely sell it to Brother Li!

I, Li Tianxing, keep my word!

If the shopkeeper hadn't said in the beginning that Song Ming wanted the treasure fish, I would have sold it to Wang Li.

But now, it can't be sold!

Wang Li was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

He then gave a wry smile and nodded, saying:

"I understand now, I was being presumptuous just now."

Such a rare fish is indeed very important to you...

"Let's get out of here, brothers. Go catch them yourselves!"

Wang Li directed his crew to steer the boat further inland...

……

The boatman couldn't help but curse:

"Damn, Brother Li has offered such a high price, and he still won't sell!"

Wang Li pinched the bridge of his nose and said helplessly:

"I thought he would sell it to me... after all, we usually have a good relationship."

Let's not think about that now, let's just pray that we can catch the treasure fish later.

If the treasure fish isn't caught, the young master won't make a big fuss.

"But you can forget about getting any reward money!"

The waiter standing nearby was still furious:

"If he doesn't sell fish to Brother Li today, he's disrespecting Brother Li!"

When I see him at the fish market later, I'll try to get on his good side.

Let him learn his lesson.

Wang Li slapped him on the back of the head:

"Idiot, you can dive alone for more than ten minutes."

And it hasn't shown any signs of fatigue yet.

Do you think this kind of person can be an ordinary person?

You still want to offend...

Can't you guys think a little further ahead?

Didn't you hear him say he would definitely sell me the second treasure fish?

You think you can take advantage of others?

If someone lands a punch on your small frame, you'll probably never have the chance to come to Qinghe again in your lifetime.

Wang Li recalled the appearance of Li Tianxing when he emerged from the water.

A hint of fear and envy flashed in his eyes...
