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

If I can provide this information and help Yang Zhenzhen obtain the wild ginseng, wouldn't I be able to become her personal disciple?

Indeed, that century-old wild ginseng is extremely precious, worth over a thousand taels of silver!

But Chen You wasn't envious at all.

Simply because he was very clear about his position.

What will happen if I try to sell wild ginseng?

He'll probably be targeted by a lot of people.

I'm afraid he'll be killed outside before he even gets to enjoy his money.

That's why he didn't have a single thought after seeing this message!

Therefore, it would be better to inform Yang Zhenzhen of the information so that he could enter the martial arts school and receive the inheritance of the skills!

Having avoided Lin Hu and the others' sight, Chen You traveled swiftly and finally arrived at the bank of the large river north of the town.

The weather was perfect today. Although the wind was still a bit biting, the sun was shining brightly overhead, and the river was sparkling with no signs of freezing over.

Chen You stood on the slope by the shore, gazing into the distance, and took a deep breath of the cool but fresh air.

He closed his eyes, and the knowledge of fishing techniques flowed through his mind like water. He instantly understood the depth of the water, the current speed, and the possible hiding places of fish.

Moreover, when he connected his consciousness with the Desire Orb in his mind, several faint golden specks of light appeared in his vision.

Two of the points of light were hidden in the middle of the river, beside a pile of rocks covered with aquatic plants, emitting an alluring color.

"So that's where the tricolor fish was hiding!" Chen You was overjoyed.

With the cheat code of the Desire Spirit Pearl, he didn't even need to go through the process of testing the waters.

He quickly put down the burlap sack on his back and took out the rather simple bamboo fishing rod.

Although the tools looked rough, Chen You, who had practiced for a full 150 days in the Spirit Pearl Illusion, felt an indescribable confidence surge into his heart the moment he grasped the fishing rod.

The pole seemed to be an extension of his arm, and the force exerted on each joint was crystal clear.

"Prepare the bait before fishing, and even a god can't escape."

Chen You muttered to himself as he pulled out the secret-recipe bait he had prepared earlier from his pocket.

He bought this batch of bait on his way here, based on the experience he summarized from the Desire Pearl!

It is made by kneading together wine lees, wheat bran, and a little wild honey, which has a deadly attraction to wild fish.

He grabbed a handful of bait and flicked his arm gently and precisely.

Shala shala…………

The bait traced a perfect arc in the air and landed precisely in the water about two meters upstream of the two points of light.

As the bait slowly dispersed in the water, a rich aroma of wine mixed with sweetness permeated the bottom of the water.

Next, Chen You began to bait the hook.

He selects the fattest local red earthworms and uses a unique "live hanging method" to thread them onto iron hooks, ensuring that the earthworms continue to wriggle and struggle at the bottom of the water to lure those picky fish.

Everything is ready.

Chen You calmed himself down, flicked his wrist slightly, and the fishing line, along with the float, drew a graceful semicircle in the air, making a soft "plop" sound before accurately landing in the river.

A cold wind blew, and ripples spread across the river.

Chen You sat on the blue stone on the shore like an old monk in meditation, his hands firmly holding the fishing rod, his eyes fixed on the float on the water.

Time passed second by second.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour...

The two bright spots representing the tricolor fish at the bottom of the water seemed somewhat wary, hovering only at the edge of the feeding area, hesitant to take the bait.

Chen You was not impatient. Having spent a whole month honing his skills as an "air force" in the illusion, he had no shortage of patience.

Suddenly, the previously still float trembled slightly.

Chen You tightened his grip on the rod slightly, but his body remained completely still.

He knew that this was just the fish testing the waters with its body, or small fish trying to nibble at the bait.

Immediately afterwards, the float sank another half mark, followed by a series of rapid tremors.

"It's not a tricolor fish; its bite is too hasty."

Chen You thought to himself, but the first fishing rod must at least see the water.

Just as the float suddenly plunged to the bottom, Chen You flicked his wrist, and a skillful force instantly traveled along the rod to the fishing line!

Lift the rod!

"tight!"

The fishing rod instantly bent into a taut arc, and a feeling of struggle, though not heavy, came from the bottom of the water.

Chen You remained calm and gently wiggled the rod tip in the direction of the fish's struggle to dissipate its initial force.

He began to reel in the line with steady steps.

Whoosh!

As water splashed, he steadily lifted a bluish-gray fish with its dorsal fin standing upright like a knife out of the water. The fish drew a silver line in the air and landed on the grass.

Chen You looked closely and couldn't help but grin.

"Good heavens, it's just a tilapia that's passing by. Look at its size, it must weigh at least two pounds."

Although it wasn't the target fish, the first cast was a catch, which is undoubtedly a very good omen for a seasoned angler.

He skillfully held down the struggling tilapia, removed it, and threw it into the sack, then rearranged the bait.

Looking at the two still restless, three-colored fish-shaped spots not far away, Chen You smiled slightly and cast his fishing hook again.

After the tilapia were caught, the underwater fishing spot seemed to have been completely disturbed.

Chen You took a deep breath and cast the fishhook, now baited with fresh bait, back into the water.

This time, the fishhook reacted almost immediately after entering the water.

The float on the water surface sank slightly at first, and then slowly slid down into the water with an extremely steady and calm rhythm.

"It's here!" Chen You's heart skipped a beat. The steady bite force of this fish was far superior to that of ordinary small fish.

He patiently waited until the float was completely submerged in the water, then suddenly flicked his wrist to hook the fish!

stretch!!

The bamboo pole instantly bent into a breathtaking arc, and an extremely strong pulling force burst forth from the bottom of the water.

The creatures underwater possessed immense strength, charging and crashing about wildly.

Chen You calmly responded, taking small steps along the shore, swinging the rod tip left and right to constantly deplete its energy.

After a moment, the struggles underwater gradually subsided.

Chen You used the momentum to lift it up, and a treasure fish about a foot long, with its body shimmering with strange red, green and gold luster, was immediately pulled out of the water.

The dazzling scales shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight.

"The first one is a tricolor fish!"

Chen You was overjoyed and deftly untied the fish and threw it into the sack.

He didn't dare to delay. While the fish were still in their nest, he quickly hooked up the double hooks and cast the line into the water again.

Perhaps it was the smell of blood and the stimulation of the secret bait, but just three minutes later, the float started to vibrate violently again.

This time, Chen You didn't even have to pull too hard. With his exquisite technique of releasing force, he caught the second identical tricolor fish and landed it on the shore amidst the splashing water!

Two tricolor fish, successfully acquired!

Looking at the two shimmering, colorful fish swimming side by side in the sack, Chen You finally smiled with satisfaction.

These two fish are worth at least fifty taels of silver.

He had thought it through; one of the ingredients was to be kept for himself and given to Xu Yue to help her recover.

As for the other option... it would be best to sell it to a martial artist privately.

After all, this is a precious fish, and it's easy for it to be targeted.

In other words, the place where he fished was remote and rarely frequented by gangs or other groups!

Otherwise, if they find out, their catch will definitely be stolen.

After covering the fish tightly with wet grass, Chen You hurried back without stopping for a moment.

On the way back, Chen You did not choose the official road he had come by, but instead deliberately chose a secluded and rugged path.

He remained vigilant at all times, and with his wide field of vision, he would immediately detour to avoid any figures that appeared to be moving ahead.

This caution saved him a lot of trouble, and he got along peacefully along the way.

After successfully entering the city, Chen You finally felt relieved.

There were government officials patrolling the city, so even the most audacious people wouldn't dare to openly rob or commit murder in broad daylight.

Night quietly fell, and oil lamps began to illuminate the streets.

It was getting late, and the martial arts school must have already closed, so Chen You headed straight home.

By the time I got back to the alley where I lived, it was already completely dark.

From a great distance, Chen You saw a familiar figure standing at the gate of his courtyard.

Xu Qiuxue paced anxiously at the door, occasionally tiptoeing to peer into the alleyway.

They were actually waiting for me to come back.

At the same time, Chen You saw the desire in Xu Qiuxue.
