Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1398 - 609: Expert (2)

After a brief contemplation, Lin Xuankong spoke up, "Is there a larger fish pond nearby? I love eating fish, and I enjoy catching fresh fish with my own hands!"

Love eating fish? Thinking back to the tavern, this Young Master Lin in front of me had already ordered several river fish, and now he still wants fish! Miao Youren couldn’t help but murmur secretly in his heart, thinking: Young masters from wealthy families indeed have unique tastes! However, according to Master Miao Yun Lake’s instructions, Young Master Lin has a sufficient amount of silver every month to squander, so he can choose whatever he likes!

Thinking of this, Miao Youren showed a smile, "Young Master Lin really knows how to enjoy life. Speaking of fishing, the best places around the county for fishing are Qingshui River and Qing Lake! If the young master feels he’s recovered, I can arrange a carriage and nursing home at any time to take the young master there!"

"I’ve recovered quite a bit. Let’s go wash the horse now, I’ll go later!" Lin Xuankong decisively said.

Miao Youren was taken aback upon hearing this and murmured again in his heart, but on the surface, he showed a smile, "Alright, alright, I’ll go make arrangements now!"

Two incense sticks later,

Lin Xuankong was sitting in the carriage, pondering some secrets of the Blood Spirit Technique when Miao Youren’s voice came from outside, "Young Master Lin, we’ve arrived at Qingshui River!"

Lin Xuankong lifted the curtain on the small window of the carriage and looked outside. He saw a river about ten meters wide outside, and on this side of the river, there were five or six rather exquisitely constructed pavilions, two of which were already occupied with people fishing. On either side of Lin Xuankong’s carriage were seven or eight robust nursing home guards, looking around vigilantly!

After getting off the carriage, Lin Xuankong walked straight to the pavilion, while Miao Youren brought over fishing gear and bait.

At this moment,

two white-skinned, handsome men in military uniforms saw someone arriving at the pavilion and immediately strolled over.

Miao Youren glanced at them and immediately cupped his fist towards the two men, "Director Liang, Captain Wei, you two are fishing today too!"

Among the two men in military uniforms, the tall and slim one nodded slightly and looked at Lin Xuankong with some confusion, "Miao Youren, aren’t you working at Shifang Tavern? Why aren’t you busy at the tavern today, and how come you have time to accompany someone fishing? Which young master from the Miao Family is he, I’ve never seen him before!"

Miao Youren chuckled, "Director Liang, this young master is a junior of one of Master Miao’s close friends, and he just arrived in Qingyuan City recently. It’s normal that Director Liang doesn’t recognize him!"

Having said this, he turned to Lin Xuankong, "These two are captains from Linhai Camp in Qingyuan City. The one speaking is Director Liang’s younger brother, Director Liang Yucheng, and the other one is Deputy Captain Wei Hong. Both of them are important figures commanding thousands of soldiers, and their reputation in Qingyuan City is almost equal to that of Master Miao!"

At this moment, Lin Xuankong planned to catch a few hundred pounds of big fish and absorb some blood and life force, so he didn’t have much interest in small talk with these people.

However, considering that he would definitely hang around in Qingyuan City for some time, and these two didn’t seem arrogant, treating a little shopkeeper from the Miao Family politely, Lin Xuankong nodded to them with a smile, "I’m Lin Qiang, pleased to meet you both. As I’m new here, I hope you two elder brothers can take care of me in the future!"

The tall and slim, handsome Director Liang Yucheng waved his hand, "Director Miao is very famous in Qingyuan City, even the County Magistrate, my brother Captain Liang, and Director Lu frequently interact with him, supporting each other. Since you are Director Miao’s person, you can live freely in Qingyuan City! Brother Lin, don’t be so polite, we’re all brothers in the future!"

Beside him, Officer Wei Hong cupped his fist towards Lin Xuankong, then looked with some excitement at the fishing gear near Lin Xuankong’s feet, and smiled, "Since Brother Lin also enjoys fishing, we can fish together. Fishing is more enjoyable when there’s a competition!"

After saying this, he waved to the soldiers in another pavilion, and they immediately brought over the fishing gear and buckets from that pavilion.

Seeing this, Miao Youren continuously winked at Lin Xuankong and then smiled, "The two officers plan to fish with Young Master Lin, which is great. I’ve heard among the young masters and officers in Qingyuan City, Director Liang and Captain Wei’s fishing skills are extremely high, even my Master Miao occasionally praises the two, saying they are the top among the fishing experts he’s seen, in terms of baiting, choosing spots, and fishing itself!"

Liang Yucheng and Wei Hong laughed upon hearing this, waving their hands, indicating that Master Miao is the real fishing expert but is too busy with official duties to have the time for fishing.

Lin Xuankong originally intended to focus on fishing and killing fish, but considering these two were so enthusiastic, he couldn’t refuse, so he agreed.

A moment later,

The three of them chose a spot in the spacious pavilion to fish,

Liang Yucheng, holding his fishing rod, looked over at Lin Xuankong and whispered, "Since Brother Lin is from the Miao Mansion and a descendant of Director Miao’s close friend, you must be quite close to Miss Miao Wan’er. I wonder when Brother Lin would have time to fish with Miss Wan’er. I’ve heard Miss Miao’s fishing skills are good, and I’ve long wanted to compete with her!"

When Lin Xuankong heard this, he realized that the guy came to fish with him with ulterior motives, not caring much for fishing, and couldn’t help but feel speechless.

He casually dealt with the guy a few words and then focused on fishing.

Normally speaking, whether in his past life or during his ten thousand years of cultivation in the Golden Dragon World, Lin Xuankong seldom fished and didn’t possess any fishing skills! However, his Divine Soul remains genuinely at the Celestial Immortal realm, even if the Divine Soul brought to this Absolute Spirit World is extremely weak, it still has the foundation of a Celestial Immortal realm!

With such a powerful foundation of a Celestial Immortal Divine Soul, his sensing ability, not to mention compared to ordinary people, is even far superior to the most sensitive beings in this Absolute Spirit World!

With this ability blessed, Lin Xuankong relied on hearing, touch, and vision to observe the changes in water flow and the movement of fish within, seemingly like he’s cheating!

Everything under the water surface,

under Lin Xuankong’s concentrated energy and sensing, appears almost transparently. The movements of the fish seem slow by thousands of times! Where fish gather, which fish takes the bait, or which fish is just pretending, Lin Xuankong senses it all clearly!

Under these circumstances, with the best bait, fishing rod, and hook, Lin Xuankong’s accuracy in timing and his fishing speed is incredibly fast!

Within just half an hour,

The ten or so buckets that Miao Youren prepared in advance were completely filled, and the fish caught amounted to over two hundred, most weighing three to four pounds each! In other words, in just one hour, Lin Xuankong caught around eight hundred pounds of river fish! But because the body Lin Xuankong currently possesses is too weak, he simply lacks the strength to continue fishing, nor does he have the energy to maintain a high concentration of his Divine Soul. Otherwise, if he were to keep fishing for several hours, all the fish near the pavilion might be caught by Lin Xuankong!

And during this hour, the two officers from the barracks, Liang Yucheng and Wei Hong, together caught just over thirty fish, not even half filling one wooden bucket... This disparity made the two so-called fishing experts of Qingyuan City dumbfounded!
