Gou Zai Qingluo Cave Heaven Cultivation

A small, black-awning boat sails on the river like a phantom, without disturbing the slightest ripple.

This is also a Dharma boat, made entirely of century-old submerged wood, with faint array patterns.

Although it is not as grand as Zhou Changping's flying boat that can tumble through the sea of ​​clouds, it is small and light, and it can move silently on the water, making it most suitable for fishing.

Zhao Yuanqiu leaned over the gunwale, looking at the river, her little face showing both excitement and a hint of trepidation.

Seeing this, Zhou Baoqing laughed and joked, "What's wrong? Afraid of falling in and feeding the fish? Don't worry, your cousin will hold you up."

Zhao Yuanqiu blushed. "I'm not afraid! I'm going to catch a big fish today!"

"At dawn, when the spiritual energy rises, it is the time when the aquatic creatures are at their hungriest and most active."

Hearing the two children's amusing remark, Pan Jiang smiled and said, "Here are your fishing rods, take them carefully."

He pulled out two fishing rods from somewhere and handed them to Zhou Baoqing and Zhao Yuanqiu.

The fishing rod is dark in color, resembling bamboo but not quite, and has a warm, smooth feel to the touch. It has subtle water ripple patterns flowing across its surface, and the tip is exceptionally flexible.

It is slightly heavy, and an ordinary teenager who has not yet cultivated Qi would definitely find it difficult to handle with one hand.

But Zhou Baoqing was an exception.

He was tempered by the bloodline of the Green Snail clone, and his physique had already surpassed that of his peers.

With a single hand, he easily took the fishing rod, even casually performing a beautiful twist in mid-air.

Zhao Yuanqiu, standing to the side, was not so relaxed. He held onto the fishing rod with both hands and stood firmly on his feet to keep it steady.

Seeing Zhou Baoqing handle the situation so effortlessly, a hint of surprise flashed in Pan Jiang's eyes.

This kid is not only naturally intelligent, but also seems to have some talent for body tempering.

But he didn't say anything more.

In the world of cultivation, magic has always been revered, and body refinement is often regarded as a crude and clumsy method for those at the bottom of the cultivation path, and it is not considered a compliment.

Pan Jiang composed himself and said, "Next, I will teach you a fishing tip."

Zhou Baoqing and Zhao Yuanqiu quickly put on a show of listening attentively.

"When encountering a large object, one must avoid arrogance and impatience, and never pull it forcefully. If brute force is used, the lip will tear and the hook will break, and all efforts will be in vain. One should use the method of releasing force, taut like a fully drawn bow, and then gently releasing like flowing water. There must be a balance of tension and relaxation; pull and release in turns, using the tactic of letting go to seize the target."

Zhou Baoqing secretly remembered this: to put it bluntly, when you encounter a big fish, you have to play it!

However, this tip is quite rudimentary, and fishing depends more on experience and luck.

Pan Jiang laughed and said, "This fish basket contains your bait. Low-grade first-level spirit fish are extremely greedy. Which kind you catch depends on your luck."

"If I'm lucky, wouldn't I be able to catch a lot of them?" Zhou Baoqing asked with a smile.

"Hahaha, that would be excellent, let's see if you have the ability!" Pan Jiang laughed loudly.

Zhao Yuanqiu stood quietly to the side, holding her fishing rod, without saying a word, but the excitement and curiosity in her eyes were impossible to hide.

Before long, Pan Jiang slowly steered his boat into a vast body of water, which was Qinglin Abyss.

As the saying goes, green water is deep, and black water is abyss.

This deep pool stretches as far as the eye can see, its waves surging beneath the surface.

Surrounded by mountains, the water is open and spacious, and many early-rising anglers have already set up their small boats or bamboo rafts on the water to fish quietly.

Upon seeing Pan Jiang's awning boat approaching, the previously quiet anglers suddenly became restless.

An elderly man in brocade robes, piloting a spirit-wood boat, quickly put down his fishing rod, stood up, and bowed respectfully from afar: "Brother Pan, you've come to Qinglin Abyss today too?"

The old man looked quite old, but he addressed Pan Jiang as "brother" repeatedly, adopting an extremely humble attitude.

Pan Jiang simply nodded slightly and replied calmly, "I had nothing to do, so I brought two of my younger relatives over for a bit of fun."

The old man in brocade nodded repeatedly, and very tactfully chanted an incantation, voluntarily giving up the excellent bay he had occupied. "Brother Pan, please. This bay has a gentle current, which is perfect for beginners to practice."

I never imagined that Grandpa Pan was so famous.

Zhou Baoqing witnessed all of this and gained a more intuitive understanding of the status of a sixth-level Qi Refining Grand Cultivator.

No wonder some people say that once you're in a high position, you'll be surrounded by good people.

Doesn't what's happening right now perfectly illustrate this saying?

"The water here is shallow, and it is mostly inhabited by common first-tier spirit fish. You can cast your lines here."

Pan Jiang opened a small jade bottle and took out a bright red pill.

It looked like a flesh pill, with a faint crimson aura flowing across its surface.

"Baoqing, the bait you use to attract fish is indeed good, but to truly increase your chances of catching fish, you need this 'Crimson Blood Pill.' This is a great thing that can enhance the bloodline of aquatic creatures and is very attractive to low-level spirit fish."

Zhou Baoqing leaned closer curiously. "This Crimson Blood Pill is so extraordinary. If the fish in the water actually swallow it, wouldn't it be a waste for them?"

Upon hearing this, Pan Jiang laughed heartily and shook his head, saying, "The young man is still too young!"

He pointed to the almost imperceptible transparent oily film on the bait and said smugly, "See this 'Spirit-Locking Glue'? This stuff doesn't dissolve in water; it sticks to the hook with incredible stickiness. Those aquatic creatures can only smell and see it, but they can't eat it! Once they've bitten it firmly and won't let go, I'll have no choice but to pull them ashore obediently!"

Zhou Baoqing was stunned.

Good heavens, one meat pill has been passed down for three generations, and the fish still has the meat pill!

The methods fishermen use to avoid going home empty-handed are truly astonishing.

However, he also became curious about this bait called "Red Blood Pill".

Since it has a strong attraction to aquatic creatures and can also purify bloodlines, wouldn't feeding it to the Green Snail clones greatly accelerate their growth and provide them with nourishment?

"Grandpa Pan, is this expensive?" Zhou Baoqing asked tentatively.

Pan Jiang casually replied, "It's not too expensive, just three low-grade spirit stones, but the materials are hard to find."

This price might not be much for Pan Jiang, who is in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, but it is not easy for Zhou Baoqing.

At least it's something to look forward to. I'll definitely buy it and try it out when I make some money in the future.

Pan Jiang handed over the pill and said, "First, use your family's secret bait to bait the area, then use this Crimson Blood Pill. Fishing for low-grade first-level spirit fish in this shallow water area shouldn't be a problem."

Zhou Baoqing then took the Crimson Blood Pill and hung it on the fishhook.

Zhao Yuanqiu followed suit and, with Zhou Baoqing's help, baited the fish.

"This is a 'Concealment Bead,' which can conceal your scent and movements near the water to avoid startling the fish. I'll also give you a 'Protective Charm.' I'm going fishing in the abyss. If anything happens, just call out."

Pan Jiang said that as a skilled angler, places like Repulse Bay naturally held no appeal for him.

The water here is shallow and there is no danger, making it an excellent place for novice anglers to practice.

"Okay, Grandpa Pan, don't worry," Zhou Baoqing nodded seriously.

Pan Jiang gave a few more instructions, and after he left, Zhou Baoqing put down the fishing hook.

As the fishing hook entered the water, the green snail's clone seemed to sense something strange, faintly revealing an extreme longing for the dense moisture around it.

"No wonder this abyss can nurture such large fish; the water-attribute spiritual energy is so abundant, it's practically a sacred cultivation ground for aquatic creatures."

"Once we acquire the 'Crimson Blood Pill' or other pills that promote blood circulation, and cultivate the giant green snail, using this place as a training ground wouldn't be out of the question."

He thought to himself.

The monks are fishing illegally here, which is against the rules and will be punished.

Surely the Dragon King won't come out and issue a parking ticket if the Green Snail cultivates here?
