Starting From A Fisherman To Cultivate Immortality And Live Forever

Chapter 2: Cultivation and Immortality Through Fishing

Splash!

The fishing hook went into the water again.

Su Ping immediately noticed the information he had overlooked before.

As soon as it entered the water, a virtual panel popped up, reminding him that the fishing game was starting.

Then, a fishing mini-game interface appeared before his eyes.

The operation was simple. Following the prompts, he just needed to control the tension of the fishing rod after the fish took the bait.

For Su Ping, a cultivator, this was a piece of cake.

A few minutes later.

As Su Ping completed the first round of the fishing game.

The information flow updated instantly:

[Obtained Fishing Experience +1]

[Current Fishing Level: Level 1 (1/100)]

[Obtained Small Green Fish +1]

[Fishing Achievement Unlocked, Fishing Shop Opened!]

Su Ping looked at the empty fishing hook hanging in the water and then glanced at the virtual panel. He vaguely understood:

"The Lin Yue Lake and the fishing rod are just the medium to start the fishing game. I didn't actually catch any fish from Lin Yue Lake, and I don't even need to cast the line again. Everything can be done in my consciousness."

"The fish obtained through the fishing game will be directly stored in the game's warehouse, which saves me the trouble of being seen as abnormal by others!"

With a thought, Su Ping entered the fishing game again.

At the same time, while playing the fishing game, he also checked the fishing shop.

As soon as he looked, Su Ping became ecstatic!

The fishing shop was linked to the fishing level, and both were currently at level one.

But the items that could be exchanged inside were enough to make Su Ping excited.

The fishing shop required fishing coins, which Su Ping could obtain by selling the small green fish he had just caught in reality.

Among the items available for exchange in the fishing shop, there were three types of game props: life elixir, mana elixir, and purification elixir.

There was also a special item that required one hundred small green fish, ten big green fish, and one blue spirit fish to exchange: the teleportation talisman!

[Life Elixir: Instantly restores 100 health points and continues to restore health for the next thirty seconds. Exchange required: 10 fishing coins]

[Mana Elixir: Instantly restores 100 mana points and continues to restore mana for the next thirty seconds. Exchange required: 10 fishing coins]

[Purification Elixir: Immediately removes all negative effects below the third rank. Exchange required: 20 fishing coins]

[Teleportation Talisman (Unique): After use, it can immediately teleport back to the default or temporary teleportation point. Cooldown time: 12 hours. Exchange required: 100 small green fish, 10 big green fish, 1 blue spirit fish]

The familiar names and descriptions of the items reminded Su Ping of the information from the fishing game he played before he transmigrated.

After Qi Refining, Su Ping's memory became excellent.

He remembered that this was a fishing mini-game in a large open world.

Therefore, the items inside also came from that large world with a grand fantasy background.

If the items became tangible and had the same functions as in the game...

Su Ping swallowed his saliva silently.

Not to mention the help that the life elixir and mana elixir would provide in cultivation and battles.

Even the purification elixir, if it was effective against poison, wouldn't he be able to turn trash into treasure and quickly improve his cultivation by spending money on useless pills?

In addition, there was the teleportation talisman. In the game, the default teleportation point was the village where the protagonist was born.

If he used it, would he be teleported to the forest after transmigration?

Or would he be able to teleport back to his birthplace before transmigration?

If it was the latter!

Wouldn't he be able to travel back and forth between the two worlds by using the default and temporary teleportation points set by the teleportation talisman?

Thus, gaining help from both worlds!

Su Ping suddenly realized... his dream of cultivation and immortality might have a chance of success again!

Looking at the fact that only one small green fish could be exchanged for one fishing coin.

With hope in his heart, Su Ping reminded his attendants to stay quiet and not disturb his excitement.

Then, he wholeheartedly immersed himself in the fishing business.

Su Ping enjoyed the fun of fishing and felt happy as the prompt "Fishing Experience +1" appeared.

The maids and servants waiting by the shore couldn't hold back anymore.

They couldn't see the virtual interface and could only see their esteemed immortal master, who seemed to have never caught a single fish.

As time passed and still no fish was caught, the reality of not catching anything made the maids and servants lower their heads quietly, afraid of angering the immortal master who was already in a bad mood.

Even though the immortal master seemed gentle this month, just thinking about his background and the solemn instructions from the elders in their clan before he arrived, how could these servants not worry or be afraid?

Because of this, the maid Ping'er suppressed the thought of suggesting that Master Su Ping change the bait.

Even when she saw other tourists nearby wanting to visit the immortal master, she sent a servant to dissuade them in advance, so as not to disturb the master's fishing enjoyment.

Not far from the side of Lin Yue Lake, on the top floor of Lin Yue Tower in Lin Yue Manor, stood a middle-aged man in a luxurious robe. He was somewhat thin and was standing by the railing, holding a delicate monocular telescope and looking into the distance at Su Ping, who was fishing.

Standing beside him was a burly bald man named Ji Hu. He was the city guard of Jin Que City and also a direct descendant of one of the largest local families, the Ji family.

He also looked in the direction of Su Ping and chuckled, saying, "Lord City Lord, this cultivator Su Ping is quite carefree. He didn't refuse at all when we gave him fertile land, beautiful mansions, and gold, silver, and jewels."

"He has been watching plays and listening to music in the manor for a while, and now he has come to Lin Yue Lake to fish... He is enjoying himself more than those who are about to die!"

The middle-aged man, who was the city lord, frowned slightly. As someone from a local prestigious family himself, he was puzzled by Su Ping's luck in fishing.

According to common sense, as a beginner in fishing, it would be easy to catch small fish and shrimp, even if catching big fish was uncertain.

But he didn't inform his companions of the anomaly, only whispering, "Let's observe a little longer, don't be deceived."

"After all, this inspector... is too young!"

Hearing this, Ji Hu also nodded in agreement.

These prestigious families in the mortal kingdom naturally wouldn't be ignorant of the immortal sects and cultivators.

In fact, whether it was the royal family or the prestigious families, their ancestors were all cultivators.

Without a background, they wouldn't have the opportunity to enjoy such wealth and glory.

Over the centuries, there were also descendants of their bloodline who had spiritual roots and joined the immortal sects to become cultivators.

Jin Que City had encountered immortal cultivators like Su Ping who chose to enjoy life before.

As the hosts, they naturally wouldn't dare to neglect such distinguished guests.

They would even convene meetings with the major families and each give up some industries so that the other party could live a worry-free life, and at the same time, the younger generation could quickly integrate into Jin Que City and eventually become part of the foundation of the Jin Que City family...

But over the years, they always encountered those who were inherently greedy and unsatisfied with being wealthy and wanted to go further.

At this moment, it was time for their prestigious families to play their role and make the other party realize the difficulty and retreat.

Su Ping's performance since his arrival satisfied the local power players in Jin Que City.

Both sides were getting along well.

But Su Ping's age... made them unable to let their guard down.

In their eyes, Su Ping, who was at most in his forties, could live for at least sixty years based on the long lifespan of cultivators!

A cultivator who could live in one place for sixty years without dying!

This was a problem they had never encountered since the founding of Jin Que City!

After all, those inspectors from before were either about to die or had been seriously injured and only had four or five good years left before they became disheartened and gave up on the path of cultivation to come and bully them mortals.

Even the cultivators among their own descendants would try to spend as little time as possible in Jin Que City.

The longest-lived person in Jin Que City... only survived for seven years.

This cultivator Su Ping... unless there were unexpected circumstances, he could live for at least sixty years!

That would be enough to send all the older generation of their prestigious families away!

Even if he did nothing, after twenty or thirty years, when his descendants grew up and he was still alive, the interests of Jin Que City would have to be sacrificed to a considerable extent.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man began to have a headache. He put down the monocular telescope and instructed the servant by his side, "Wait for him and invite him to Lin Yue Tower for a drink as soon as he finishes fishing."

"Ah!"

"I hope our inspector is really as easygoing and good-natured as he said when he came."

"Otherwise, as an immortal cultivator, things could get troublesome if he causes a scene."
