Chapter 129: The Art of Fishing, Custom-Made Hat

"Young Junior Brother?!"

"Haha, what a rare visitor you are."

Senior Sister Gan Lan's voice was still soft and sweet, making people feel weak all over.

But her towering figure was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.

Fu Ning glanced at her chest muscles and couldn't help but feel a chill: it seems that his training is still not enough.

"Sister, please don't mock me. I just closed up for a period of time recently."

Gan Lan covered her mouth and smiled, her laughter crisp and pleasant. "Haha, who doesn't know that we have a Junior Brother at Red Mountain who likes to seclude himself."

"Junior Brother, why did you decide to come out of seclusion today?"

Fu Ning deliberately stretched his muscles and bones and responded, "I got tired of staying in the room and wanted to go out for a walk."

"I happened to see a 'fishing' task, and I got a bit itchy."

There was a 'fishing' task on the mission board of Red Mountain's small gathering.

Spirit Turtle Island is isolated overseas, and there are many seafood in the sea, all of which are Supreme Grade for cooking and can be made into meals.

The effect is better than many elixirs, so it is in high demand on the mountain.

"Fishing?" Gan Lan Senior Sister was taken aback, then looked Fu Ning up and down and said, "Hmm, Junior Brother, since you like to seclude yourself so much, you must be suitable for fishing."

"Thank you for your kind words, Sister. But at the moment, I lack a suitable fishing rod."

"I want to have one custom-made by you, Sister."

As soon as she heard that there was business, Gan Lan immediately became delighted. "So that's it, Junior Brother has come to the right place."

After speaking, she couldn't help but pat her sturdy chest.

"I wonder if Junior Brother has any requirements in mind?"

Fu Ning shook his head. "This is my first time fishing, so I don't know much about it."

Gan Lan explained, "Junior Brother, everything in the world can become a Dao. Fishing is a profound art, and the sea is full of spiritual creatures."

"If you can master the art of fishing, you won't have to worry about resources at least."

"But I'm not proficient in this art either. Brother Zhou often goes fishing at Ao Shou Island. You can go and ask him for advice."

Fu Ning was stunned. "Brother Zhou? Zhou Ye?"

"Yes, Brother Zhou specializes in the culinary path and has high requirements for ingredients. He often goes fishing on Ao Shou Island."

"He has mentioned this art of fishing to me before. It has profound implications. You can ask him for advice when the time comes, Junior Brother."

"Although I don't understand fishing, I do have some insights into making fishing rods."

At this point, Gan Lan suddenly changed the subject. "Junior Brother, have you seen anyone selling 'fishing rods' at those grocery stalls along the way?"

Fu Ning shook his head. He was also curious about this. "Indeed, I haven't seen any."

Gan Lan laughed. "Do you know why?"

Fu Ning shook his head again.

Gan Lan no longer kept it a secret and explained, "There is a kind of 'Tiger-Spotted Fish' near Spirit Turtle Island."

"This fish is very strong and good at diving. Ordinary fishing rods can't pull it at all. It would take at least a combination of beast tendons and meteorite iron to withstand it."

At this point, Gan Lan pursed her lips and had a proud look on her face. "Junior Brother, I will definitely help you make a suitable fishing rod."

"How about using Fire Maple Wood and meteorite iron?"

Fu Ning's mouth twitched. Fire Maple Trees on Red Mountain are strictly prohibited from being cut down.

Senior Sister's style is still so bold.

"Cough, Sister, can you turn that 'Ghost Rope' into a fishing rod?"

"Ghost Rope?" Gan Lan crossed her arms in front of her chest and pondered for a moment before saying, "Hmm, there shouldn't be a problem."

"But the 'Ghost Rope' spear is too hard. Some modifications need to be made to the spearhead. It will take at least five days to refine it."

"Five days?" Fu Ning nodded. "That's fine. I'll come to pick it up in five days."

Then he took out two pieces of Water Origin Stones as a deposit.

Seeing the 'Water Origin Stones', Gan Lan's eyes lit up. "Such pure Water Origin Qi."

"Did you strike it rich, Junior Brother?"

Fu Ning coughed lightly and hurriedly explained, "Oh no, it's just that I recently refined a few batches of elixirs and saved up some spirit stones."

Lately, the conflicts around Spirit Turtle Island have intensified, and battles could break out at any time.

Many disciples on the mountain are making preparations in advance.

Therefore, the prices of elixirs have been soaring recently.

Gan Lan Senior Sister didn't suspect anything and just took the "water spirit stones" and put them in her pocket. "Junior Brother, since you're here, take a look. If you find any Law Treasures that you like, I'll give you a good deal."

As she spoke, she pointed to her small stall.

There were still four Law Treasures displayed on the stall.

Fu Ning had seen the long sword and the rabbit cage before.

He had also bought the "Ghost Chain" before.

The "dagger" with the handle made of fire maple wood had been replaced by a "small shield" and a "robe".

When Fu Ning's gaze fell on the last two pieces of armor, Gan Lan Senior Sister's eyes flashed with approval.

Then she lowered her voice and leaned in, saying, "Junior Brother, it's not peaceful around Spirit Turtle Island lately. How about getting a Law Treasure for self-defense?"

"This 'turtle shell shield' can withstand a full strike from a Little Yellow Courtyard, and this 'robe' can increase the speed of Origin Qi circulation."

Upon hearing this, Fu Ning hesitated slightly.

He already had a "Spirit Fish Shield" on him, so he wasn't very interested in the "small shield" in front of him.

But the "robe" reminded him of the scar on his forehead.

Fu Ning could use some cover, so he said, "Senior Sister, as for Law Treasures, I think I'd like to order a hat, something to cover my forehead."

Gan Lan was delighted to hear this. "No problem!"

"It just so happens that you're going fishing, and wearing a hat can protect you from the sun."

The two of them agreed on a time and went their separate ways.

...

South Sea, Whale Island.

According to the "Thousand Islands Chronicle," Whale Island is the transformed remains of an ancient whale.

From above, the island looks like an upside-down whale.

Flesh turned into reefs, bones turned into hills.

As the saying goes, when a whale falls, all things come to life.

For thousands of years, the fallen whale has attracted countless creatures in the sea to thrive and reproduce here.

In addition to the spectacle of the "whale fall," various resources have also become very abundant.

Therefore, many disciples have come here out of admiration, and the power of the sect has been growing day by day.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, they are considered a rare presence.

The autumn air was crisp.

The sea in this season seemed to have calmed down.

The sea outside the harbor was calm and peaceful.

The sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the small boats moored there.

White sails gently swayed in the breeze. Several seagulls circled in the air, occasionally making cries.

Everything seemed harmonious, except for the two large characters on the sail that made people fearful.

"Chang Feng."

Chang Feng Island is notorious for plundering passing ships throughout the South Sea.

The previous generation of island masters had once plundered in the waters of Spirit Turtle Island and was injured by the White Cloud Scenic Master. He then fled back to Chang Feng Island and soon met his demise.

Since then, there has been an irreconcilable conflict between Chang Feng Island and Spirit Turtle Island.

The "Whale Gate" suspects that the loss of the whale bone horn is related to Spirit Turtle Island.

New grudges added to old hatred.

The enemy of an enemy is a friend.

So, the two sects stood on the same side.
