Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

[Information 1: At a location 800 meters to the right, there is a two-tiered, three-tailed goldfish foraging for food.]

[Information 2: At a distance of 900 meters to the right, a red-scaled goldfish is resting under the aquatic plants.]

[Information 3: Three kilometers to the right, there is a second-grade Blood-Sweating Grass, which can be ingested or used to make elixirs.]

"Just as I suspected, there are many treasures in this remote and desolate place!"

Upon seeing these three messages, Chen You was overjoyed and immediately headed to the right.

"Hmm? Young Brother Chen," Old Bai asked at this moment, "Where are you going? Our bait is all ready."

"I'm planning to go fishing up ahead." Chen You pointed to the upstream area not far away, where the current was exceptionally rapid, crashing against the rocks and creating white waves.

Seeing this, Zhou Yunfei laughed and said, "Brother Chen, you don't understand! The current is so strong there, how could the fish possibly stay still? Come here, the current is gentle, there are definitely fish here, look, there are bubbles rising on the surface!"

Zhou Yunfei was right.

There are definitely common fish gathering in those slow-moving areas, especially where bubbles are rising.

But for Chen You, what he wanted to catch was not ordinary fish, but rare treasure fish!

"Brother Zhou, I think I'll go try my luck there. I fish by feel!" Chen You said with a smile.

Zhou Yunfei was speechless for a moment, and then immediately began to talk at length about his fishing experience and hydrological knowledge.

Unfortunately, Chen You still declined.

Seeing that Chen You was determined, he could only shake his head helplessly: "Alright, alright! I've already prepared the bait. Since you're going over there, I'll help you prepare a feeding area first! The fish bait I made is the fish's favorite in the water."

Chen You cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you very much, Brother Zhou."

Before the two had taken more than a few steps, Zhao Zi on the other side exclaimed in surprise.

"Hahaha! It's here!" Zhao Zi's face flushed with excitement. "Zhou Yunfei, you're really good at baiting! I just cast my line and I already hooked a big fish!"

The fish looked to weigh three or four pounds and kept thrashing about!

After pulling the fish ashore, Zhao Zi instructed a maid behind her, "Prepare the fish and grill it now!! Remember to add plenty of chili powder!"

"Yes, Miss."

Seeing this, Xu Changqing exclaimed with envy, "Miss Zhao is truly remarkable!"

"Haha, of course! I've caught a treasure fish before!" Zhao Zi proudly raised her chin.

As she spoke, she noticed Chen You and Zhou Yunfei walking further and further away, and couldn't help but frown: "Why did Chen You go fishing so far away?"

Xu Changqing laughed and said, "His martial arts talent is indeed amazing, but his fishing skills are definitely just average. He doesn't even know the basic common sense of where to catch fish."

Old Bai stroked his beard and laughed, "That's right, what a waste of that fine fishing rod he had."

As they were talking, Old Bai's fishing rod suddenly sank, and he caught a plump, fresh fish.

Zhao Zi became curious, put away her fishing rod and said, "I'll go take a look over there." After saying that, she jogged towards Chen You's direction.

At this moment, Zhou Yunfei had already prepared a nest for Chen You by the rapids.

However, looking at the churning water, he couldn't help but advise, "Brother Chen, I've prepared the bait for you, but there's not even a single bubble on the surface. There are definitely no fish. You're destined to have a wasted fishing trip today."

Chen You leisurely cast his fishing line into the rushing water, and chuckled nonchalantly, "It's alright, my fishing philosophy is all about doing what I want!"

"Okay, I'll keep you company for a while."

Zhou Yunfei thought to himself that Chen You would definitely get anxious when he couldn't catch any more fish.

I'll try to persuade him slowly later.

In short, I must get along well with him on this trip.

"Zhou Yunfei, what are you doing here?" Zhao Zi asked, slightly out of breath, as she ran over.

Zhou Yunfei gave a wry smile: "Brother Chen insists on fishing here. I tried to dissuade him, but he wouldn't listen."

Zhao Zi watched Chen You fishing and pouted, "Chen You, it seems you don't know how to fish."

"I'm just blind!" Chen You said helplessly.

He can't exactly say that he saw the intelligence, can he?

While the two were talking, Chen You calmed his mind and quietly began to communicate with the Desire Beads in his mind.

His current fishing skills are only at a basic level, but his target later is a second- or even third-grade treasure fish!

To ensure everything goes perfectly, he plans to take this opportunity to directly improve his skills.

Anyway, I've accumulated over a thousand points of desire, so I'm quite well-off.

Chen You's heart stirred, and he immediately threw down three hundred points of desire, thinking that this would definitely be enough for a breakthrough.

Within the space of the rosary, time flows by, and Chen You practices fishing day after day on the illusory riverbank.

In the first month, after a long period of honing his skills, his fishing technique broke through to the highest level!

Then, the second month, the third month...

Time flies.

However, even after those 300 points of desire were completely exhausted, his fishing skills remained at the highest level, unable to advance any further!

However, Chen You could vaguely sense that he seemed to have touched that mysterious bottleneck.

"Invest another two hundred!" Chen You gritted his teeth and made a determined move.

With the consumption of another two hundred points of desire, that barrier shattered with a deafening roar!

In an instant, his fishing skills crossed the final threshold and soared to the highest realm of perfection!

At that moment, countless mysteries about fishing flooded into Chen You's mind like a tidal wave.

Observing water patterns, identifying fish shadows, controlling rod strength, adjusting bait flavor...

He has thoroughly mastered all kinds of fishing skills and techniques!

Now, he can see through the underwater currents and the movement of fish with just a glance, and he can even manipulate the most cunning fish with his skills.

However, to be fair...

No matter how skilled you are at fishing, nothing beats intelligence that directly pinpoints the location of the treasure fish.

After all, technique is a skill!

The intelligence is like cheating!

"See, there's not a sound at all!" Zhao Zi said triumphantly, arms crossed and chin raised.

She felt that Chen You was still too stubborn!

Even though she and Zhou Yunfei, both fishing experts, had patiently taught him, he remained unmoved.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, the fishing rod in Chen You's hand, which had been still, suddenly sank sharply!

The fishing rod naturally bent into an extremely stunning bow shape!

"Huh, a new catch? There are actually fish taking the bait in this fast-flowing water???"

Zhou Yunfei was taken aback, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

At this moment, Chen You's fishing skills had reached perfection. The instant his palm touched the rod, he instinctively made a judgment based solely on the struggling force coming from the bottom of the water!

This is no ordinary fat fish; its strength is steady and dense, making it an absolutely rare treasure fish!

The creature underwater possessed immense strength, twisting and turning wildly in the surging river water, attempting to break free of the hook line.

But Chen You remained calm and composed, his rod control technique at the highest level was exquisite.

He used his wrist to deflect the force, pull, and flick the line with fluid movements, completely neutralizing the powerful impact of the water flow.

"rise!"

Chen You gave a low shout and flicked his wrist to lift the fishing rod!

"Splash!"

With a splash, water sprayed everywhere!

A colossal creature, its entire body gleaming with a sapphire blue luster and its tail adorned with three magnificent, silky tails, was instantly slammed onto the rocks on the shore.

This fish is extremely heavy, jumping around, and weighs a full eight pounds!

The three shimmering fish tails swayed in the sunlight, exuding an alluring aura.

"My God..." Zhao Zi gasped in astonishment, staring blankly at the giant object rolling on the ground, her eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

Zhou Yunfei gasped in astonishment, exclaiming in a trembling voice, "This...this is a three-tailed fish! And it's even a second-grade treasure fish! It's so big, it must weigh at least eight pounds!"

He looked at the raging torrent, then at the nonchalant Chen You, and was completely bewildered!

Not only were there fish in this rapid current, but he actually managed to catch an extremely rare second-grade treasure fish using this bizarre fishing method?
