Starting From A Fisherman To Cultivate Immortality And Live Forever

Chapter 1: Fishing Master System

The carriage jolted, and Su Ping slowly opened his eyes.

He had just had a dream.

He dreamt of the days before he crossed over to this world of immortals and martial arts.

Back then, he had just turned twenty, full of vitality and spirit.

The memories of his hometown, long forgotten, made Su Ping a little absent-minded.

Coming back to his senses, Su Ping couldn't help but sigh.

Time flies, and he unconsciously has been away from his hometown for twenty years.

Thinking back to twenty years ago, when he had just crossed over, he was quite lucky.

Just as he crawled out of the primitive mountains and saw signs of civilization, he encountered an ascension ceremony held by the nearby town's immortal sect.

As someone who knew that this was a world of immortals and martial arts, how could Su Ping resist the temptation of cultivating immortality?

He immediately joined in.

And then, he was tested by the immortal sect and found to possess a low-grade spiritual root, naturally becoming an outer disciple of the Crimson Kite Immortal Sect.

Although when he entered the sect, Su Ping had already been reminded by the attendant who brought him in that while low-grade spiritual roots could cultivate immortality, most of them would only reach the Qi Refining stage, and only one in a thousand would be able to achieve Foundation Building.

As a transmigrator, Su Ping naturally inclined to believe that he was that one in a thousand genius!

But... after twenty years of arduous cultivation, Su Ping came to understand.

Without any cheats, he couldn't become that exception!

He also understood why the immortal sect had accepted him, a low-grade spiritual root that was impossible to achieve Foundation Building.

In the mortal kingdom where the Crimson Kite Immortal Sect was located, there were about a hundred million people, but only about one in ten thousand possessed spiritual roots.

And the majority of them had low-grade spiritual roots.

For the immortal sect, in order to maintain its numbers, it could only recruit a group of low-level cultivators as outer disciples every few years, which had almost become a tradition.

And as low-level cultivators themselves, they were valuable to the immortal sect.

Not to mention the rumored possibility of Foundation Building.

The spiritual fields, spiritual mines, and even assisting those with cultivation skills all required the efforts of these low-level cultivators to be successful.

In these twenty years of cultivating immortality, Su Ping has worked hard to obtain cultivation resources and complete the necessary sect tasks.

He has planted spiritual fields for the sect, mined spiritual mines, helped alchemists control fire, ground ink for talisman painters, and waved flags for formation masters.

The remaining time was spent on cultivation.

As a result, he was already forty years old and had never even been to the Immortal Tower once, nor had he formed a bond with a lovely female cultivator!

Despite his efforts, the rewards were disproportionate.

As low-grade spiritual roots, Su Ping was stuck at the third level of Qi Refining and couldn't make any progress.

His peers, although also possessing low-grade spiritual roots, were mostly between the fifth and sixth levels of Qi Refining.

The one who fared the best even broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining and became an outer disciple supervisor of the sect.

He was occasionally used as an example among the outer disciples, inspiring his junior brothers and sisters to work hard in farming and mining in order to exchange for more cultivation resources.

And Su Ping, after failing to break through the fourth level of Qi Refining for the seventeenth time a month ago, had to admit that there was a huge difference between low-grade spiritual roots and low-grade spiritual roots.

As someone from the Blue Star with knowledge from another world, Su Ping didn't fall into the dead end of cultivation like most old cultivators.

Su Ping realized that he should lie low and let go of his obsession with cultivation!

Letting go of his obsession, Su Ping felt a sense of relief and had an intuition that he could live a few more years.

Immediately, Su Ping found the supervisor from his time and received the task of guarding the Golden Sparrow City in the mortal realm.

Golden Sparrow City was one of the many major cities under the jurisdiction of the Crimson Kite Immortal Sect in the mortal kingdom.

For such an important mortal city, the immortal sect usually arranges one or two low-level cultivators to guard it, to prevent any troublemakers and also to serve as supervisors.

However, taking on the task of guarding a mortal city far away from spiritual veins and lacking spiritual energy was almost equivalent to cutting off one's own path of cultivation.

Generally speaking, only outer disciples who are old and physically weak and plan to return to the mortal kingdom for a comfortable life would take on this task.

Although the supervisor was somewhat surprised that Su Ping would take on this task, he quickly realized something and didn't mock or make things difficult for him. Instead, he expressed understanding and even gave Su Ping a few spirit stones as a token of their friendship.

Grateful and touched, Su Ping couldn't help but secretly marvel at why others could take on the role of an outer disciple supervisor with a low-grade spiritual root.

"Master, we've arrived at Lake Lin Yue."

Just as Su Ping was reminiscing, suddenly, a pleasant and gentle female voice came from outside the carriage.

It turned out that after Su Ping arrived at Golden Sparrow City and received the good land and beautiful mansion gifted by the Lord's Mansion, Ping'er, the personal maid sent by the local aristocrats, reminded him that they had arrived at their destination.

Su Ping responded with a sound and slowly lifted the curtain, stepping out of the luxuriously decorated carriage.

For Su Ping, who had experienced technological civilization, the carriages in this world were not comfortable.

But there was no other choice. The mortal kingdom had thin spiritual energy, and it was quite troublesome to replenish the expended mana.

In addition, Su Ping had used up all his accumulated resources for cultivation, and now he couldn't even take out a transportation artifact. Carriage was the best choice.

As a resigned cultivator in this world lacking entertainment, if he didn't study skills, all that was left was to listen to music and enjoy the scenery.

Su Ping was very clear about his position. After arriving at Golden Sparrow City, he didn't refuse the aristocrats who tried to please him, and quickly accumulated a considerable fortune.

After getting tired of listening to private music for a while, he listened to the butler's suggestion and chose to visit Lin Yue Lake for sightseeing and leisure.

Lin Yue Lake, located on the outskirts of the city, was a well-known attraction in Golden Sparrow City and also a great fishing spot.

It was rumored that there were Red Blood Spirit Fish in the lake in the middle of the mountains. As long as one could catch one, even mortals could cultivate immortality.

There were many young gentlemen and ladies from families without immortal fate who came here in groups to enjoy the beautiful scenery and try their luck at fishing for a chance at immortality.

Occasionally, they would catch one or two fish, which would then be handed over to the professional chefs from the nearby Lin Yue Villa to be turned into delicious dishes. Eating the fish they caught by the lake was also a wonderful experience.

Su Ping arrived at the lakeside, feeling the gentle breeze brushing against his face.

He nodded slightly, acknowledging that this scenery was not inferior to the famous sights of his hometown.

However, judging from the concentration of spiritual energy in the lake that he felt, it was highly likely that the rumor about the spiritual fish was spread by the local landlords for fame.

In such a lake, even if he released small Black Spirit Fish, which were the easiest to raise in the immortal sect, they would degenerate into ordinary fish, let alone the Red Blood Spirit Fish that could change one's aptitude.

Of course, Su Ping had no intention of exposing this lie.

Making money was not embarrassing.

Besides, he was a special guest, and all expenses at Lin Yue Lake were free for him.

Su Ping took the fishing rod from the servant following him.

Although there were no spiritual fish in the lake, since he was already here, wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't catch anything?

Su Ping even planned to secretly use a little bit of mana to gather the fish in the lake, so that he could successfully catch fish for the first time in his life and become the strongest fisherman in the history of this lake.

After all, he had no way of cultivating immortality anymore.

Shouldn't he have some fun and be carefree?

Sitting on the wooden stool thoughtfully placed by the considerate maid, Su Ping waved the fishing rod and scanned the surroundings, already thinking about where to place the statue of himself as the strongest fisherman for good feng shui.

Accompanied by a gust of wind.

The fishing rod left a trail, and the servant who had prepared the bait had cast the hook into the lake.

Plop!

The sound of the hook entering the water was not loud, but Su Ping suddenly widened his eyes.

He looked somewhat uncertainly at the virtual panel that suddenly appeared below the corner of his eye.

He wondered if he had been anticipating the activation of a cheat for too long, causing his mind to go haywire.

Closing his eyes and exhaling, he silently recited a calming mantra before opening his eyes again.

The corners of Su Ping's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

It wasn't an illusion!

His golden finger had truly been activated!

But it was too ridiculous. It turned out that he could only activate it by becoming a fisherman!

Could it be because he had been playing a fishing mini-game in a certain open-world game right before he transmigrated?

【Fishing Master Fishing System Activated】

【Current Fishing Level: Level 1 (0/100)】

【Current Fishing Spot Evaluation: First Tier Inferior】

【Current Accumulated Fishing Times at the Fishing Spot: (100/100)】

【Available Fish Species: Small Blue Fish, Big Blue Fish, Blue Spirit Fish, Red Blood Rainbow Carp】

Having read the virtual panel clearly, Su Ping suppressed his excitement and raised the fishing rod, preparing to cast it again.

He planned to figure out what exactly this golden finger could do and what benefits it could bring him!

After resting for a while, Little Bai has finally decided to start a new book! I hope you still remember Little Bai and can show some support! (σ≧▽≦)σ.
