Jujutsu: Eight Magical Skills At The Beginning, Admission Is A Special Level

Chapter 46: The Final Fishing Rod

"Oh right, Senior Brother, we've been chatting for a while now, but you haven't mentioned the main matter!"

"The main matter? What main matter?"

Lin Yu was taken aback upon hearing this and looked at the fishing rod in his hand. Though he didn't say anything, the meaning was clear - isn't accompanying Senior Brother to fish the main matter?

"Senior Brother, you've come all the way from Mountain State, what brings you here?" Lu Bei reminded him.

"Oh, you're talking about that..."

Lin Yu furrowed his brows and thought for a moment. "Junior Brother Lu, I won't hide it from you. I've come with a mission. The head of the Disciplinary Court has ordered me to assess your character and moral qualities."

"What if they're good or bad?"

"Good, you'll be accepted. Bad, you'll be avoided!"

Lin Yu spoke truthfully, "Master Uncle Mo's remains have been buried in the Immortal Tomb of the Towering Heaven Sword Sect. You are his only disciple, though it hasn't been officially recorded. The Towering Heaven Sword Sect won't let you wander alone... Oh, Junior Brother Lu, your talent is astonishing. Bai Shimei mentioned that you had just opened your Aperture, but I didn't expect you to already be at the Foundation Building stage."

Halfway through his words, Lin Yu realized that Bai Jin's information was outdated and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"So fast, I thought everyone was like this."

Lu Bei scratched his head. "Mainly because Master left me a bottle of Foundation Nurturing Pill. I made great progress in my cultivation after taking it."

"No wonder."

Lin Yu nodded and spoke frankly, "At noon, I sensed that you were in the underground palace in front of the Ascension Gate, using an array to refine your foundation. I believe it was specially prepared for you by Master Uncle Mo."

"Senior Brother saw it?"

"I just took a look. Junior Brother, don't be mad, I didn't intend to watch you."

Lin Yu smiled awkwardly. The gatekeeper, Little Hu Li, said that Lu Bei wasn't home, so he thought of finding a fishing spot to wait. When he sensed the spiritual energy fluctuation in the underground palace, he couldn't help but take a glance.

"It's fine, it's not a secret anyway. Senior Brother is one of us, so it's fine to watch."

Lu Bei rolled his eyes. He wanted to be mad, but he didn't have the ability to do so.

However, Lin Yu reminded him that as a cultivator, his senses were sharp. The Ascension Gate had no array to conceal it, nor did it have a Law Treasure to protect it. To powerful cultivators, it was as if they were completely exposed. He needed to come up with a solution as soon as possible.

He didn't mind, but the problem was the several Little Hu Lis, especially Hu Qing, who was about to transform. If a pervert were to peek at her while she was bathing, what would they do?

"Junior Brother Lu, don't worry. With Senior Brother here, besides fishing, my expertise lies in arrays. After I finish this fishing rod, I'll go back and set up a mountain protection array for the Ascension Gate."

Lin Yu patted his chest and said, "I won't say anything else, but any cultivator with a lower cultivation level than mine won't be able to sense anything outside the array. Inside the array, whether they live or die will be up to you, Junior Brother. It's a combination of offense and defense, and I guarantee it will satisfy you."

"If the person who comes has a higher cultivation level than Senior Brother, what should we do?"

"Junior Brother, why did you provoke someone like this?"

"That's true."

Lu Bei nodded, realizing that he had overthought the situation.

Lu Bei wasn't sure about Lin Yu's cultivation level, but based on the fact that he took out a fishing rod and a folding stool without any simple space equipment like the Universe Bag, or encrypted space equipment like rings or jade pendants, it could be seen that he was at least level 60.

What does level 60 mean?

During version 1.0, the player level cap was only 50. In the Nine Bamboo Mountain where Three Pristine Peak is located, only three people had a level higher than 20. The formation set up by Lin Yu in the newbie village was definitely beyond the standard and would be sufficient for a long time.

"Senior Brother, you came all the way here, and I haven't entertained you yet, but you..."

"It's a small matter. Junior Brother, don't worry about it. If you feel guilty, just spend these few days fishing with me." Lin Yu waved his hand, interrupting Lu Bei.

"Alright, I'll make sure Senior Brother has a good time."

Lu Bei nodded, looking at the deep pool in silence. He thought that there weren't enough fish here. Since Senior Brother was so kind, he couldn't let him leave empty-handed. He would go down the mountain tomorrow and buy a few hundred kilograms of fish to put in.

With this thought, Lu Bei suddenly discovered a business opportunity.

After making some arrangements in the deep pool and building some shelters to block wind and rain, it could become an experience room for players to earn some pocket money.

Why didn't I think of this before?

"Senior Brother, how long do you plan to stay at Ascension Gate? Give me an approximate time so that I can prepare a schedule for you."

"It won't take more than a few days."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu said, "I walk slowly, so it will take some time to return to the mountain gate. I should leave two days early."

Just two days?

You should leave a month early!

Lu Bei knew that Lin Yu still had a few more stops on his journey, but he didn't reveal it. With full confidence, he said, "In that case, Senior Brother should spend more time on the assessment. It's biased for me to evaluate myself. You can ask the other peaks to see how they evaluate you."

"Of course."

Seeing Lu Bei's strong confidence in his character, which didn't seem fake, Lin Yu had a bottom line in his heart and silently gave him a high score.

Lin Yu didn't tell Lu Bei something. This time, he came down the mountain with a task given by the Disciplinary Court, which was his mother. The head of the Disciplinary Court reminded him before leaving, saying some words about Lu Bei being alone, helpless, isolated, and in a difficult situation, asking him to pay attention and not let their people suffer outside.

Not long after leaving the mountain gate, he unexpectedly ran into the Sect Master, who was strolling down the mountain. He was reminded again, with words about how if the leader is corrupt, the subordinates will follow suit, how he stole eggs and chickens, killed people and set fires, and how each generation is worse than the previous one. He asked him to pay attention and not bring back any corrupt practices to the Towering Heaven Sword Sect.

Lin Yu was quite speechless about this. He had heard some gossip about the grievances between the previous generations because his parents were involved. Therefore, he didn't comment on it and treated the suggestions that were strongly influenced by personal emotions as if he hadn't heard them.

How to judge, the criteria for good and bad, Lin Yu has a scale in his heart.

First, when he first saw Lu Bei, the latter had a solid foundation in the underground palace. This alone is enough to prove that he is a diligent good junior brother.

Secondly, Lu Bei likes fishing.

What bad intentions can someone who likes fishing have?

Definitely none.

Good.

It must be good, no mistakes, no changes.

"Senior Brother, the sun is setting, there are no fish biting, let's go back?"

"Yeah, the fishing conditions here are not good. Based on my years of fishing experience, it's impossible to..."

Sss...

The fishing line cuts through the water, Lu Bei's fishing rod sinks, and he quickly stands up and lifts the rod: "Got one, Senior Brother, I've caught a fish."

Lin Yu: "..."

With a dark face, he witnessed Lu Bei using rough techniques to pull the fish ashore. The scale in his heart suddenly tilted. The previous judgment of "good" was too hasty, and he needed to reassess.

"Senior Brother, what did you just say? I was too focused on catching the fish and didn't hear clearly."

Lu Bei happily collected the fish, estimated it to be two catties, just enough to take back and cook.

"It's nothing."

Lin Yu casually said, "This silver-striped fish is the size of a palm and still a fry. It's a good deed to release it later!"

"Sounds good. When Senior Brother catches a big fish, we'll have a good meal tonight."

Lu Bei sat down and continued fishing. Seeing that Lin Yu always fell behind in the last cast, he couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother, it's getting late. I have a few hungry little foxes waiting for me at home."

Speaking of this, Lin Yu frowned and said, "Why do you raise Fox Monsters, Junior Brother? Don't you know it's against the law?"

"I'm not raising them, just sheltering them."

Lu Bei honestly said, "These few little foxes live with me on Three Pristine Peak. They can be considered neighbors. I find them pitiful and lonely, so I took them in."

"But they have already opened their spiritual intelligence and transformed..."

"I fed them Spirit Opening Pills, I want them to transform."

Lu Bei felt ashamed and said, "It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. I will support them, so they can become self-reliant. It's inconvenient for them to go up and down Nine Bamboo Mountain. I plan to open a shop and take care of the disciples from nearby peaks who have low cultivation levels. If they transform, they can be of help."

Saying that, Lu Bei briefly introduced his business plan.

"Junior Brother, you..."

Lin Yu frowned and said, "You can't do business like this. If you open a shop on Three Pristine Peak, there won't even be passersby. I'm afraid you'll lose money!"

"Senior Brother, you worry too much. I have a good relationship with the disciples from various peaks. If I really open a shop, friends from all peaks will definitely come to support. At most, I'll lose a little, not too much."

Lu Bei smiled faintly, seemingly indifferent, and said, "Besides, whether I make money or not doesn't matter. As long as I can help everyone."

As the sun set, he was bathed in the last golden red glow, and a faint smile filled with strong conviction emerged. His pure and kind heart made it difficult for Lin Yu to open his eyes.

He respected Lu Bei's selflessness and felt inferior to his great spirit. In a daze, he saw the scene of being pressed on the ground and rubbed by Bai Jin when he was young.

Looking at others, looking at himself, and thinking about the high expectations his parents had for him...

Comparing oneself to others is truly embarrassing!

Lin Yu was infected by Lu Bei's spiritual realm, his heart surged, and his face turned red. He secretly vowed not to be decadent anymore. It was enough to be surpassed by his junior sister, but he must never be surpassed by his junior brother.

He made up his mind that after this cast, he would focus on cultivating and not touch the fishing rod for the next ten years...

Forget it, ten years is too long. Seize the day, one day is enough. After this cast, he would not touch the fishing rod until sunrise tomorrow.

A real man keeps his word. If he says he won't touch it, then he won't.

Lin Yu was determined in his heart. He raised his hand and cast the rod. The previous decisions didn't count because they were not firm. This time was the last cast.

"Junior Brother, this is really the last cast!"

"Make it a multiple of three, one more cast."

"Don't rush, Senior Brother has a rule. After three casts, I reward myself with one more cast."

"The reward is over, time for punishment!"

"No fish yet, it's shameful. One more punishment..."

"..."

It became dark, and then it became bright again.

In the early morning, Lu Bei, soaked in dew, looked eagerly at the dozen or so big fish he had caught, thinking that the protection period for beginners was really powerful.

Looking at Lin Yu, the air force guy next to him, he didn't know what to say for a while.

It turned out that there were not few fish in the deep pool, but the air force guy's buff was too powerful.

Lin Yu felt ashamed and smiled awkwardly, "Junior Brother, this pond is not good. The local fish have low moral standards and bully me as an outsider."
