A Will Eternal – Chapter 1060
Chapter 1060: The Cfished Dragonfish
Everyone in the Saint-Emperor Dynasty was proud and excited by how the Ghostmother traded.
After all, the Evil Emperors had given up three prefectures to seal the treaty, the prefecture that originally belonged to the Saint-Emperor Dynasty, but had been lost for many years due to minor conflicts between the two dynasties.
To the ignorant cultivators, it might seem like a great victory in the overarching conflict between dynasties.
But the powerful and influential individuals within the Saint-Emperor Dynasty, and of course Saint-Emperor himself, knew that the three prefectures in question had been reduced to virtual vacant land during the occupation.
For the Vile-Emperor Dynasty, they now had no value or interest. But for the Saint-Emperor Dynasty, everything was better than nothing. Moreover, Saint-Emperor knew that if he pushed too far, Emperor Vile could just abandon the Ghostmother and refuse to offer any concessions at all.
If that happened, then the responsibility would be thrown on the Saint-Emperor Dynasty for being greedy, and would ensure that not even Emperor-Vile would be blamed from his subordinates.
Once all factors are considered, an agreement is reached that calms both sides, and prevents the emergence of bigger problems.
There was nothing to do with Bai Xiaochun. In fact, neither side mentioned it at all during the negotiations. Although he has played a significant role in the whole affair, it is in the interest of both parties to pretend as if he did not.
Bai Xiaochun did not care about that. Right now, he was sitting on his blessed land, frowning on the verge of tears, thousands of thoughts running through his head as he pondered over the matter of the heavenly dragon fish.
In an attempt to stop thinking about them, he took the time to find out about the pills concocting in Saint-Emperor City. What he discovered was that the techniques used here were in the same vein as those in the Heavenspan Realm. However, there are also some big differences that make the concocting process very difficult. They are also very expensive to produce.
In terms of medicinal pills that were suitable for the gods, not only were they rare, they were also extremely expensive.
Another problem was that Bai Xiaochun did not really have such a huge savings. Worse, even though he had some medicinal herbs, he did not have a pill formula, and making a new formula from scratch was a very laborious and expensive process. Unless he could think of some way to obtain many spirit stones, he would definitely go broke trying to rely on medicinal pills.
"The best way to save money is to use heavenly dragon fish!" With red eyes he gazed towards the pool of heaven, which seemed to be the only viable path to continue his cultivation. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I won't just give up. Considering those fish dare to hate me, I will definitely teach them a lesson!"
Grabbing his fishing pole, he rushed to the edge of the lotus leaf. Choosing a different area from a time ago, he spent several days fishing, but in the end, sighed and gave up again.
The fish was truly like an immortal creature. No matter which fishing spot he chose, they would only swim past his line, and often looked at him with a disdainful look in their eyes.
A few days passed where Bai Xiaochun was looked upon with disdain by the thousands of fish. Eventually, his world began to darken. At the same time, people noticed what he was doing, and gossip started to spread.
"Duke Heavenspan is fishing?"
“Well, he is indeed a savage stranger. Back when he spoke to himself in court, he actually sounded like an extraordinary figure. But it turned out that he was just a fool who did not understand the true meaning of the Saint-Emperor's rule regarding the heavenly dragon fish. I'll tell you what, if that guy manages to catch a fish, I'll change my family name to match it! ”
"It seems like the lotus leaf of Saint-Emperor City has gotten such an obsessed fool like the Seadeep Preceptor."
Not a single word could be heard among the nobles. Everyone was making fun of Bai Xiaochun.
After all, they looked down on the Heavenspan people to begin with, just like Gu Tianjun did.
As far as they were concerned, the only good thing for the inhabitants of Heavenspan was to be a servant. At most, the Saint-Emperor Dynasty would pity them and accept them for good.
The Saint Emperor finally heard what happened, and shook his head.
The only person who reacted differently was Liu Yong. When he heard about this matter, he was initially shocked, but then he wrote an official request to Saint-Emperor, where he begged him to forbid Bai Xiaochun from fishing.
Sad for him, the fact that he was from the Heavenspan Realm ensured that everyone ignored him. Saint-Emperor simply looked at the written request and then threw it aside.
Whether it was the fish in the pond, or the officials in the city, they all looked at Bai Xiaochun with disdain. Eventually, it reached a point where he could not bear it anymore.
"Creating! All right, destroy this fishing business! ” As he glared at the disdainful fish, a ferocious smile suddenly appeared on his face. After sending out divine sense to make sure that no one was watching him, he took out a Fantasy pill from his bag that was holding and threw it into the heaven pond.
No one noticed, and the pill melted as soon as it hit the water. In a few moments, it was absorbed by the nearby fish.
Giving them a final glance, Bai Xiaochun let out a cold snort and left. During the following days, he often went to the edge of the lotus leaf and secretly threw some fantasy pills into the water.
In order to avoid any interesting notifications, he was careful to just throw two or three pills each time, and sometimes just one. He knew that some things could only be achieved over time, and required patience. And thus, more than half a month passed ….
Slowly, more and more dragon fish began to react to the Pill.
Eventually, it reached a point where all Bai Xiaochun had to do was walk into the water, and a large group of them would swim in hopes of getting the water exposed to the Fantasy Pill….
Two things benefit him. The first was that the heavenly dragon fish used to gather near someone who was fishing, and glanced at them with a disdainful look. The second was that Bai Xiaochun made sure to find a remote location where he was less likely to attract attention.
To play it safer, he also pretended to fish while he was doing his job.
As time passed and he watched the dragon fish in heaven devour his pills, his heart swelled even more proud than before.
“Amazing heavenly float! I'll show you how amazing Lord Bai is! Everyone who feels my Fantasy Pill is addicted. I refuse to believe that you will be an exception! "
Bai Xiaochun felt extremely proud and confident with his pills. He was completely convinced that the fish in the pond was developing a dependence on Fantasy Pills.
Finally, he stopped throwing pills at the pond, and waited for the dragon fish to start showing signs of withdrawal.
One day as he was walking near the edge of the lotus leaf, he saw a crowd forming, and people were crying in fear.
"Paradise! Heavenly dragonfly fish is very intelligent! Look guys! That one knows how to fish !! ”
Bai Xiaochun rushed over and saw one particular heavenly dragon fish with a long bundle of seaweed in his mouth, acting like a cultivator holding a fishing line. Overjoyed, he realized that the crucial moment had arrived.
With soaring excitement, he pulled his fishing rod, which he had prepared for this moment by coating the hook with the aura of a Fantasy pill. Looking around, he realized that he was very close to the Seadeep Preceptor, who was sitting there motionlessly as usual. Raising his fishing line, he rushed over and sat down next to him, then prepared to put his fishing line on.
The first thing the Seadeep Preceptor did was frown. He knew that Bai Xiaochun was the Duke of Heavenspan, and yet, it was as insulting to the Heavenspan people as everyone in the city. Clearly, he was not happy that Duke Heavenspan had come to his fishing ground without first asking for permission.
Worse still was that Bai Xiaochun's fishing rod looked completely ordinary. Seadeep’s preceptor is made of soft jade, making it very flexible. It was also filled with spiritual energy. To top it all off, the look of anticipation on Bai Xiaochun's face was very disturbing.
As a demigod expert of the same age as Gu Tianjun, and someone who even deigned to give advice to the younger Chen Su, the Seadeep Preceptor was highly qualified in every way.
"Meet well, Duke Heavenspan," he said, his eyelids twitching slightly. “Fishing takes patience, you know. As the old saying goes, luck brings achievement, fate brings failure. Understand that, and it will help you stay calm and even grumpy. Fix heaven and earth in your heart and mind. There are countless living beings in creation, all of whom are intelligent in their own way. Remember, everything is connected; if a heavenly dragon fish sows destiny with you, it will come to you. That's how life works.
“Many people think that I am sitting here to fish, but the truth is I am contemplating life. With a temperament like yours, you probably shouldn't waste any time here. ” When he spoke, he looked angry with the aura of another world.
Bai Xiaochun was surprised by how mysterious the old man sounded, even though he did not understand anything that had just been said. However, the man looked quite cool as a fisherman, and because of that, Bai Xiaochun nodded a few times, and then threw his line into the pool of heaven.
Upon seeing that Bai Xiaochun was actually going to attempt fishing, the Seadeep Preceptor became even more annoyed, and the humiliation in his eyes became even more intense.
"You…."
