From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 34: Wish Fulfilled

Upon hearing the word "gift", Li Quanqing's heartbeat skipped a beat, as a highly improbable conjecture came to mind.

When the deed for the fish pond in Zone B appeared before his eyes, the young man was still stunned.

"This... This is too precious, I cannot accept it!"

Li Quanqing resolutely declined.

This was a full two thousand low-grade spirit stones!

Although there was definitely some inflation in the price due to Li Yuheng's exorbitant demands, it was still immensely valuable.

Likely, the old man had emptied his entire life's savings.

"Take it! It's just a gift!"

"Don't tell me, Quanqing, now that you've become an Artifact Refiner, you want to drift apart from this old man and cease our interactions?"

Li Kunshui kept a stern face, while covertly poking his own grandson with a smoking pipe.

Li Quanfu's pleasing and round face showed a look of resignation, as he hurried forward to stuff the deed into his hands: "Cousin, please accept this little token of my regard."

Li Quanqing couldn't refuse any longer and, in an attempt to change the subject, took the measure of the yellow-clothed young man: "This must be Quanfu. I've always heard uncle mention you, and you are indeed a fine figure of a man."

Li Quanfu laughed with a simple honesty: "I don't possess talents and skills like my cousin, I can only work as a shop assistant in the workshop to earn a living."

Li Kunshui chimed in from the side: "This lad may lack other merits, but he is sincere and eloquent. Having gained experience in the Baoying Square for several years, he is now looking for a good employer."

Li Quanqing's heart stirred upon hearing this, thinking of the shop awarded to him by his family.

He himself definitely only wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper; what he lacked was a clever and capable assistant—one with extensive work experience and someone well-known to him.

Old Master Kunshui had come prepared with ulterior motives!

Nevertheless, it seemed like a case of mutual benefit.

Li Quanqing touched the substantial deed in his hand, smiling, "It just so happens that my family recently awarded me a shop, which is in need of reinvigoration. Would you be willing to commit yourself to it, cousin?"

"Willing! Very willing!"

Li Quanfu was jubilant, hastily changing his address: "My respects to the boss!"

For a moment, both host and guest were in great spirits.

...

Zone B, Pond Number 45.

"I am back again!"

The water in the pond churned with shimmering light, lotuses and green leaves contributing to the beautiful scene that was thoroughly refreshing and delightful to the eye.

Li Quanqing took out his Spirit Boat and set it afloat on the pond's surface, the misty spiritual energy meeting his face and turning into a fog that hovered above the waters, within arm's reach.

With the change in the deed processed by Evergreen Hall, the fish pond was finally and completely his, achieving his heart's desire.

Since he had bought it from the old man, the rumor mill churning with stories of estrangement between uncles and nephews hadn't started spinning.

Plunk! Plunk!

Twenty Green Jade Carps dove into the water, each finding it very comfortable; their fins large and elegant, like clusters of green clouds beneath the water's surface.

They were born here when they were small, and returning to their birthplace made them extremely happy; their tails slapped the water's surface, causing a noisy splash.

[Fish Life Slacking] Green Jade Carp: "I can detect a familiar scent, like returning to mother's embrace—time for a nap first!"

[Cultivation: Qi Refining First Layer (10.35%)]

The other Spirit Fish were much the same, their bodies exuding a lazy temperament.

Buzz!!

Li Quanqing took out his Stone Spirit Seal, and a series of yellow halos bloomed, starting to remodel the terrain and creating new large rocks protruding from the water's surface.

Plop! Plop!

Thirty Bright Moon Shells were placed on top of the rocks, bathed in the cold sea water rich in spiritual energy, their shells comfortingly opening and closing.

[Love of Beauty] Bright Moon Shell: "At last! I've finally cleaned all the filth from my body! These waters are simply like paradise!"

[Maturity: 68%]

[Shell-born Bliss] Bright Moon Shell: "Heavens! Ever since leaving mother, I've finally come upon such pure water again, it moves me to tears!"

[Maturity: 67%]

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

Li Quanqing's face wore a peculiar expression, as these shells had already grown to the size of a fist, pristine white, practicing moon worship exercises every evening with the Green Jade Carp.

In a few more months, they could become Qi Refinement Realm Demon Beasts.

Both the Ironback Crabs and the Stone Spirit Loaches remained in the pond of Zone C, as the waters of Zone B were reserved for the imminent arrival of new Spiritual Beasts.

Li Quanqing released several hundred large green fish, adding vitality to the pond.

Under the stimulation of nature's spiritual energy, quite a few of the large green fish directly entered the mature phase.

[Harvest mature large green fish, reward 10 low-grade Water Arrow Talismans!]

[Harvest mature large green fish, reward one small Spiritual Energy Group!]

Li Quanqing noticed that the Spiritual Energy Group reward gained from the large green fish included the words 'small size'.

Indeed, as a ball of spiritual energy drilled into his body, the effect was barely noticeable.

"The quantity of the Spiritual Energy Group has not diminished, it's just that my cultivation has improved."

Li Quanqing refined these spiritual energies and was quite content.

He found that among all the fish, crabs, loaches, and shells he raised, only the large green fish and Green Jade Carps had ever produced Light Group rewards.

Other Spiritual Beasts had never caused such an occurrence.

"When my cultivation is even higher, reaching Qi Refining Great Perfection or even breaking through to Foundation Establishment, will the Spiritual Energy Groups from Green Jade Carps also lose their effect?"

Li Quanqing harbored a slight worry.

Fortunately, above the Green Jade Carp was the Golden Pattern Variant, and the Golden Pattern Jade Carp could further evolve, possibly advancing to become a Second-stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast.

"Perhaps one day, my fish pond will rear thousands of ancient Green Flood Dragons, all for the sake of harvesting Light Group rewards, to aid me in becoming immortal?"

Li Quanqing thought of such an absurd idea, and couldn't help but laugh at himself silently.

These goals were too distant from him; it was better to set some smaller, more realistic goals.

For instance, expanding the population of Green Jade Carps to a hundred.

Or, securing a top ten ranking in the clan competition, modifying the Azure Sea Tide Generation Skill, and laying a solid foundation for Foundation Establishment!

Or even, breaking through to the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining, renting a Spirit Island, becoming a lord of an island, and owning a pond covering ten thousand acres!

Heading towards the pinnacle of life!

Lost in his thoughts, the youth himself began to grin, chuckling 'hehehe', his eyes curling into crescents.

After his daydreaming, rationality returned.

Tomorrow, he was to go to Baoqing Square to participate in the grand auction.

Li Quanqing began to take stock of his Storage Bag.

Twenty Green Jade Carps had yielded five Middle-grade Green Carp Swords, 60 Middle-grade Ice Arrow Talismans, several Spiritual Energy Groups, and one Water Dragon Pendant.

One High-grade Vajra Charm, four Middle-grade Golden Light Shield Talismans, 57 Low-grade Stone Falling Talismans, 1314 Low-grade Water Arrow Talismans, three gourds of Nourishing Spirit Mud, several elixirs and Magic Artifacts.

As well as 743 low-grade Spirit Stones, 87 pieces of Spirit Sand, both loose and whole.

Li Quanqing toyed with the Water Dragon Pendant, within the crystal-clear jade surged an astonishing and wild power.

"New Spiritual Beasts, here I come!"

...

Early morning, Qingdu Island.

White fog enveloped the pier, the fierce sea breeze was blowing, salty, wet, and cold, as if it would blow one's bones apart.

Woooo!

Accompanied by the sound of a horn, a large Spirit Boat, seeming like a mountain rising from the sea surface, sailed with the wind and waves, full of oppressive presence.

"Quanfu, let's go!"

Li Quanqing took out his Spirit Boat and called for his little buddy.

"A Spirit Boat! Worthy of being the boss, so rich and powerful!"

Li Quanfu looked up in admiration, whether sincere or not, his flattery was indeed pleasing.

"How many times have I told you, there's no need to call me boss, just use my name or brother is fine."

Li Quanqing shook his head helplessly, just as he was about to put the Spirit Stones into the deck, a towering and burly figure suddenly loomed over him.

"What are you doing here, kid?"

Li Kunli appeared silently, grabbing someone's collar from behind.

"We're going to participate in the auction, didn't the Hall Master say we're taking a boat to Baoqing Square?"

Li Quanqing dangled in mid-air, realizing that he couldn't break free from the large hand even with the strength of his early Body Refinement, and instantly gave up resisting.

"Where is the Hall Master's Spirit Boat, why can't I see it, can't the three of us squeeze together?" The youth looked around.

Li Kunli glanced at the small Spirit Boat below with disdain, pointed towards a large Spirit Boat not far away:

"That one over there is mine, come on, get on board with me!"
