"I’m afraid that Zhong Shentong, a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator, managed to possess treasures like the Colored Jade Hollow Glare because he has handed over the Fishing Pond and received its protection."
Li Fan felt somewhat emotional in his heart.
He should not have overlooked this point.
But first, he was overjoyed at obtaining a supreme treasure, and then he made a breakthrough. His mentality had gotten somewhat carried away.
And so he had neglected this oddity.
"However, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. At the very least, I now know that the Seven-color Divine Light should not be used lightly, and it also drew out this big shot."
Li Fan looked towards the stone tablet scholar behind him without a change in his expression.
In the flowing Spiritual Energy of the leylines, the scholar strolled as if a normal person walking, unhurried.
And the Leyline Ancient Trees that normally would attack any Cultivator who intruded, now showed no signs of disturbance.
It was surprisingly calm.
Even Lin Ling’s call received not a single response.
Li Fan cursed silently in his heart and urged Lin Ling to continue on the way.
Meanwhile, in Jiushan Province.
The previous rendezvous point.
Not long after Li Fan and the scholar had left together.
A Cultivator dressed as a member of the Five Elders Organization arrived belatedly.
After waiting for quite a while, no one appeared.
He couldn’t help feeling confused.
...
In Yong Yun Province.
Outside a small temple in the mountains, by the Fishing Pond.
"Please look, senior." Li Fan pointed respectfully at the small pond in front and said.
Because Ji Shaoli had given a heads-up before arriving, Zhong Shentong already knew someone would come.
He dared not even breathe as he watched the stone tablet scholar and Li Fan, keeping Liuli hidden behind him, pressing down her head that was eager to peek out.
The stone tablet scholar looked at it with interest for quite a while.
"It’s just an ordinary little pond..."
"Could there be some mystery to it?"
The scholar was intrigued.
Li Fan gestured with his eyes for Zhong Shentong to step forward and demonstrate.
"Today’s quota has already been used up," Zhong Shentong said somewhat helplessly.
Seeing this, Li Fan had to step in himself.
He sat down by the pond, sitting upright and proper.
Cast his fishing rod.
The next moment, the scholar’s eyes burst with strange colors.
Not until Li Fan reeled in and checked the white radiant group in his hand did the scholar finally understand.
"So that’s how it is."
He couldn’t wait to step forward and try it for himself.
Just as Li Fan was about to remind him of the correct way to use the Fishing Pond,
He saw the scholar ponder for a moment, and then his figure blurred, transforming his appearance!
The appearance he took on was one Li Fan was very familiar with.
It was that of the mad and crazed fisherman!
Only the fish basket on his back had been replaced with a heavy Qing-colored stone tablet!
"Right, I forgot to tell you. This scholar’s look isn’t my original appearance,"
"It’s the one I’m imitating from that member of the Five Elders Organization."
"The Fisherman" smiled and hummed something as he cast out his line.
His demeanor and posture were almost indistinguishable from the real fisherman.
Li Fan’s heart sank.
From the previous encounters, he couldn’t help but somewhat underestimate this Immortal Expert.
After all, the monitoring function of the Tablet of Creation worked only in some areas,
And this figure, who couldn’t see through his origin and was as delighted as any ordinary Cultivator at the sight of the Supreme Treasure Fishing Pond,
Invisibly reduced his "pretense" quite a lot.
But now it seemed...
```
This one was also deeply concealed.
Although he did not achieve enlightenment by defying the natural order, he was certainly not to be underestimated.
Li Fan stood by, not daring to make any reckless movements.
Zhong Shentong was completely still, like a revered statue, his facial expression and body having solidified.
Only Lin Ling and Liuli, the two with bolder temperaments, were stealthily gazing at the Fisherman on the Stone Tablet.
The Fisherman’s first fishing attempt was exceptionally lengthy.
It seemed that he was deeply immersed in the process of fishing. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Not until many hours later did he remain seated without moving, which made Li Fan wonder if he had already failed and was just pretending.
However, as a brilliant golden light once again appeared in the mountain temple,
Li Fan’s doubts quickly vanished without a trace.
Seeing the golden radiant group in the hands of the Fisherman on the Stone Tablet, Li Fan couldn’t help but doubt his life choices.
Zhong Shentong was also stunned as if turned into stone, hardly believing his own eyes.
The Fisherman on the Stone Tablet stared at the radiant group for a while and said, "The Canon of the Heavenly Emperor’s Energy?"
"Achieving the honor of Emperor across the lands, condensing all living beings, the destiny of dynasties. Without the need for cultivation, one could become an expert comparable to the Immortal Realm..."
"Always thinking about fighting and killing, truly boring."
The Fisherman on the Stone Tablet said nonchalantly, "Here, it’s yours."
With that, he casually tossed the golden radiant group toward Li Fan and the others.
Although Zhong Shentong also wanted to reach out to catch it, he did not dare to act recklessly under the thinly veiled murderous look in Li Fan’s eyes.
After catching the golden radiant group, Li Fan quickly checked it.
The content inside was consistent with what the Fisherman on the Stone Tablet had said.
It was a unique practice that had been handed down in a world without Spiritual Energy.
"Quite a unique craftsmanship indeed."
"It’s just a pity that in order to gather destiny to the scale described in the scriptures, it would require hundreds of years and the concerted effort of many generations."
"A mere trifle."
Li Fan commented with some regret, but still solemnly stored it in his Storage Ring.
Observing the Fisherman on the Stone Tablet, who was still in the posture of fishing, Li Fan couldn’t help but say, "Senior, this Fishing Pond only gives one chance a day."
The Fisherman on the Stone Tablet yawned, "I know."
"But I am just simply fishing."
Li Fan was taken aback.
It seemed that the Fisherman on the Stone Tablet truly enjoyed the process of fishing.
And he did not care whether he could catch a radiant group Magic Treasure or not.
Compared to Zhong Shentong and Li Fan, he was like a real angler.
"From now on, I will settle down here."
"You don’t have to be nervous, just pretend I don’t exist."
"Whatever I catch, I don’t want. It will all be yours."
The Fisherman on the Stone Tablet suddenly spoke up.
Li Fan had anticipated this, but how could he possibly ignore such an Immortal Expert?
"Senior, could it be that you are looking for something useful from this Fishing Pond?"
The Fisherman on the Stone Tablet did not seem to have any malice.
Li Fan mustered his courage and asked.
The Fisherman on the Stone Tablet replied very straightforwardly, "Indeed. In the Xuanhuang World, there is nothing that can remove the Stone Tablet from my back."
"Perhaps in this Fishing Pond, there might be something."
This answer caught Li Fan by surprise, causing him to fall silent.
Zhong Shentong and Liuli, on the other hand, were brimming with curiosity as they looked at the ancient Stone Tablet on the back of the Fisherman.
"I’m too tired. It’s too painful."
While fishing, the Fisherman on the Stone Tablet sighed deeply.
"Everything that happens in the Xuanhuang World, every moment."
"Even if you don’t want to know, you can’t help but have it appear in your Spirit Consciousness."
"Do you think it’s a good thing?"
The Fisherman on the Stone Tablet shook his head repeatedly.
"At first, I tried to split my own head open directly."
"But as long as the Stone Tablet is indestructible, I cannot die."
"Even if I were reduced to mere bones, the memories would still appear in my Spirit Consciousness."
