Su Yuan woke up in the early morning, full of energy.
He greeted the small fish in the courtyard pond: "You guys wait, I'll find you some companions!"
Then, in good spirits, he went to Xuanjue Street to find some delicious food.
He chose a type of meatball he hadn't seen before, took a few bites, and his eyes lit up as he ordered three more baskets!
After eating his fill, he bought a pile of fishing tools from a shop on the street, and then excitedly came to a deep pool he had found earlier.
Su Yuan set up his small stool, tied his fishing gear, attached the bait, and then enthusiastically cast his hook, starting to fish.
"It moved! It moved!"
After only a short while, he felt a tug.
Su Yuan immediately lifted the hook, only to see it was empty. No, wait, the bait was gone!
"What?"
Su Yuan stared at the water for a long time, vaguely seeing a few fish swimming where the bait had just been. One of them, a fish with gold threads on its back, was eating the bait.
"Very good, I missed the first time, but the second time, you won't be so lucky!"
Su Yuan cast the rod out again!
Thump!
There was another movement!
He quickly lifted the fishing rod again. To his dismay, the bait was gone again, and he hadn't caught the fish!
"I don't believe it. Have you guys become spirits or something?! I prepared ten buckets of bait!"
Unknowingly, a day passed just like that.
In Su Yuan's bucket, there was still not a single fish, and the bait bucket was also completely empty.
Su Yuan was numb. He straightened the fish hook and then directly cast the rod into the water. He sat by the pool like an old monk in meditation.
He couldn't catch fish, but he could at least pretend to be profound, right?
A middle-aged man leisurely arrived at the edge of the pool. He was the head of the Disciplinary Hall and often came to Bibo Pool to fish, so over time, the place became rarely visited. Today, he suddenly encountered a Disciple, which made the middle-aged man look at him a few more times. He saw that he was a small Disciple at the fourth level of Qi Refining, so he didn't pay much attention. He set up his fishing rod at a distance and started fishing.
After some time, the middle-aged man's brows gradually furrowed.
"What's going on? Why aren't the fish biting today?"
The middle-aged Cultivator felt a bit strange. He glanced at the pool and saw that the fish were normal, swimming very actively in the water.
He continued to fish for another half an hour, his heart becoming inexplicably irritable.
Are the fish full today?
He felt that the problem should lie with that Disciple.
He couldn't help but look over, and then he realized that the other person's fish hook was actually straight!
What surprised him even more was that those fish were all circling around the straight hook. Although there was no bait, some fish were foolishly trying to bite the straight hook. If the hook hadn't been straight, these fish would definitely have been caught!
This situation was beyond his expectation.
He observed for a while, finding no spiritual energy fluctuations. It wasn't a Spell? It was a fishing technique!
The middle-aged man was obsessed with fishing, and his heart was filled with excitement at seeing this kind of fishing technique.
So he unconsciously moved closer to Su Yuan.
Su Yuan had noticed the middle-aged man long ago and was secretly observing his fishing technique.
Upon realizing that this middle-aged man's technique was as bad as his, his heart bloomed with joy! He was also a Master of the empty-handed catch!
Sensing the middle-aged man approaching, Su Yuan turned his head in confusion.
"Ahem, this Disciple, you look unfamiliar!"
"This Senior Brother, I also think you look unfamiliar," Su Yuan said.
The corner of the middle-aged man's mouth twitched. He said, "My name is Wang Jian!"
"Oh, I'm Zhou Wei!" Su Yuan said flatly.
Seeing that Su Yuan had no reaction at all, the middle-aged man said in surprise, "You don't recognize me?"
Su Yuan said, "You don't recognize me either!"
Wang Jian smiled: "You, this Disciple, are a bit interesting!"
Wang Jian sat next to Su Yuan, pointing at his hook and saying, "You can't catch fish with a straight hook like this!"
Su Yuan calmly said, "That's not necessarily true. As the saying goes, those who are willing will take the bait!"
"Oh?" The middle-aged man didn't believe it!
Su Yuan glanced at him, his gaze sweeping around the pool a few times, finally finding a familiar fish, the one with a gold thread on its back. This guy ate his bait the most!
He stopped the hook in front of that swimming fish.
With a thought, he slightly activated the power of heaven and earth, and the vibrant power of wood Entanglement around the hook.
The fish circled the hook a few times. It smelled the familiar bait and felt the vigorous life force on it, so it couldn't help but bite the hook.
Su Yuan had anticipated this and pulled hard!
The moment the fish bit the hook, it was pulled out of the water by Su Yuan. The fish came off the hook in mid-air, but it still followed the inertia, landing in Su Yuan's bucket in a beautiful arc.
The whole process was smooth and effortless, incredibly artistic.
Wang Jian watched this scene, dumbfounded, his eyeballs almost popping out.
"This, this, this is impossible!" Wang Jian stared at the Gold Threaded Bibo Spirit Fish in the bucket, feeling a sense of disbelief.
Bibo Spirit Fish are very sensitive to spiritual energy fluctuations, and the Gold Threaded Bibo Spirit Fish is the king among Bibo Spirit Fish. Its intelligence is much higher than that of ordinary spirit fish, making it very difficult to catch with fishing techniques alone!
But Su Yuan showed him the Heaven-Defying operation of catching the fish king with a straight hook, which truly broadened Wang Jian's horizons!
Su Yuan wouldn't tell him that most of his bait had gone into the mouth of this fish king. This fish king had become accustomed to him, and its vigilance was also unusually low!
Moreover, Su Yuan was actually very surprised that he was able to pull it up. He was just casually trying, and unexpectedly, it actually worked!
This act of showing off was smooth, full, and elastic!
Full marks, absolutely full marks!
"Amazing, simply amazing!" Wang Jian said excitedly.
"Hehe, it's nothing!" Su Yuan smiled faintly.
"Ahem, ahem, Little Friend Zhou, can you teach me this fishing technique?" Wang Jian asked.
Su Yuan glanced at him and said, "Fishing is not something you can learn just by wanting to. It requires not only a calm mind like still water but also the ability to communicate with heaven and earth, for man and earth to be in harmony, and for earth and heaven to be in harmony, following the natural way!"
A natural Aura of a fishing Master emanated from Su Yuan, giving people a profound and unfathomable feeling.
Wang Jian felt it sounded a bit mystical. Was this fishing? It felt more like comprehending the Dao?
Wait, comprehending the Dao?
Wang Jian's expression was momentarily dazed. Suddenly, he recalled something from forty years ago.
At that time, he was stuck at the Peak of the Early Stage of the Golden Core, unable to break through to the Middle Stage. His Master told him that this was due to insufficient Dao charm and that he should let nature take its course and not force it. Then, he told him to come to this Bibo Pool to fish.
Forty years had passed in a flash. He had forgotten why he came here to fish; he was just fishing for the sake of fishing.
However, at this moment, hearing Su Yuan's words, he finally understood that his Master had told him to come here to comprehend the Dao!
A calm mind, communicating with heaven and earth, man and earth in harmony, earth and heaven in harmony, following the natural way!
In a trance, his forty years of fishing experience flashed through his mind. He gradually integrated with the entire Bibo Pool. He sensed the swimming of the Bibo Spirit Fish, felt the gentle ripples of the mountain wind on the pool surface and his body, and listened to the crisp chirping of mountain birds and the rippling sound of the water.
Forty years of comprehension were awakened by a single sentence at this moment, pouring out like a waterfall!
Mountains, water, wind, fish, birds, intertwined to form a special mountain and water momentum!
In Wang Jian's ears, he seemed to hear an inexplicable cracking sound!
The Bottleneck was broken!
Boom!
A powerful Aura surged up.
Su Yuan, who was watching from the side, was directly sent flying by a wave of air, falling into the water and becoming a drowned rat!
Su Yuan looked at Wang Jian with a bewildered expression!
What happened?
How did he seem to have broken through?
No way, he just casually spouted a few sentences, and you actually broke through?
Is this reasonable?
Golden light shot into the sky, and the Aura surged again!
Seeing that the situation was not right, Su Yuan immediately swam away, got ashore, and quickly ran off!
As Su Yuan looked back, he saw many streaks of light coming from a distance, forming a circle to prevent anyone from disturbing Wang Jian's Breakthrough.
Su Yuan inwardly shouted that he was lucky. If someone had misunderstood that he was trying to interrupt someone's Breakthrough and severely injured him with a casual blow, wouldn't he have been dumbfounded?
"Sigh, was that Senior Brother just now a cultivation Genius? I just said a few random words, and he broke through? Am I the transmigrator, or is he?"
"Did he also get a cheat?"
Su Yuan grumbled.
But he also thought to himself: "Since I helped him break through, that's an act of kindness, right? The next time I meet him, it wouldn't be too much to ask for a thank-you gift, right?"
Su Yuan felt this was a good thing, so he wasn't panicked in his heart.
"Where are the fish? Wait! I haven't brought my fish back yet!"
Su Yuan looked at the direction of Bibo Pool, conflicted. He didn't want to go home empty-handed!
