The impact of divine fishing
That being said, it's an excuse that anyone can understand.
Yi Yunbo said, "Brother Gu, you can rest assured, our entire clan..."
Qiu Ziqing suddenly interrupted, "Yunbo, since Daoist Friend dislikes such formalities, let it be. Tomorrow, you can go to the Sect Master to fetch the Guest Elder Token and deliver it to him personally."
Gu Yuanqing smiled, raised his glass, and said, "Thank you."
Then, Gu Yuanqing handed over the Storage Bag and said, "Brother Yi, I'm returning the item as is Soul-Sealing Seal contains several Dao Soul of the Profound Tier Wind and Water Paths; consider this a token of my gratitude."
Yi Yunbo was overjoyed and said, "I'll take this Dao Soul, but I dare not accept this as a token of my gratitude. If Brother Gu still finds these things useful, consider it as payment for the Dao Soul..."
He stopped abruptly midway through his sentence, having noticed the grade and number of Dao Soul the Soul-Sealing Seal.
There are three Dao Soul each in the Wind and Water Daos, four of which are of the Upper-Grade Profound Tier or above, and two Mid-Grade Profound Tier. Judging from their quality, their estimated value is over 100,000 Ancient Coin.
He gave a wry smile and said, "This is too much. My Fishing Rod and Storage Bag aren't worth that much."
Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "The cost of the Primordial Fishing Platform this year is 100,000. Brother Yi, please don't refuse. I'm a person who always distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. If you don't take it, I'll feel uneasy."
Yi Yunbo shook his head and said, "Guest Elder's distraction while Divine Fishing is Ancient Fishing Platform Sect test, so how can it be considered part of the test? In this way, I will take the Dao Soul, and you can leave the Storage Bag, Fishing Rod Soul-Sealing Seal Daoist Friend behind. I will also give you five High Grade Void Stone."
Gu Yuanqing was about to say something more.
Qiu Ziqing smiled and said, "Daoist Friend, please don't refuse anymore. If we really charge for everything at the Ancient Fishing Platform Daoist Friend, not only will my disciple be criticized, but even my Illusionary Spirit Sect will lose face. If you feel bad about it, please leave some Dao Soul of these two paths for Yunbo in the future."
Yi Yunbo nodded and said, "That's right, Brother Gu. If I really accept it, it would truly put me in an unjust position."
"Very well, then let's do as Brother Yi says. It just so happens that I am indeed lacking these things in the Ancient Realm." Gu Yuanqing no longer declined.
"That's excellent!"
Yi Yunbo took out the Soul-Sealing Seal from his Storage Bag and used Secret Method to transfer the Dao Soul inside into a three-legged cauldron. He then handed all of these items back to Gu Yuanqing and took out five Void Stone to hand over as well.
"Then I shall accept."
After accepting the money, Gu Yuanqing said, "Speaking of which, there's one more thing I need to trouble Elder Qiu and Brother Yi with. I'm planning to rent the Ancient Fishing Platform for another year, but I don't have enough Ancient Coin. These are two top-grade Profound Tier Dao Soul, which should be worth around 100,000 according to the market price."
After speaking, Gu Yuanqing handed over two sealed Jade Soul.
Elder Qiu raised his hand to take it, looked at the Water Ape and the earth-elemental Black Tortoise sealed in the center of the Jade Soul, and exchanged a glance with Yi Yunbo.
Another Top-Grade Profound Tier Dao Soul! When did Profound Tier Dao Soul become so easy to obtain?
However, considering the occasional Motion and Stillness that had been coming from the center of the Boundless River throughout the year, it had become quite commonplace.
After the banquet, Elder Qiu Yi Yunbo both rose to leave, saying that since Brother Gu was unwilling to go to the mountain, this small courtyard called Upper Garden Residence would be given to Gu Yuanqing as a place to stay on the Boundless River.
On the morning of the second day, Yi Yunbo delivered the Guest Elder Token and the Fishing Platform Token.
The two didn't linger there long, and then went to the High Platform by the Boundless River.
Yi Yunbo activated the Ancient Fishing Platform by performing a magic Method Formula.
Looking around at the familiar surroundings, Gu Yuanqing murmured to himself, "A year should be enough; only a very small amount of Dao Resonance remains to be Perfection developed."
He took out his Fishing Gear and continued fishing...
At this moment, several Cultivator had received the news rushed to Upper Garden Residence.
Intending to visit the newly established Gu Divine Fisher, they arrived at the courtyard only to find that the person was nowhere to be seen.
"You're too late. Apparently, that Ancient Fishing Platform reopened early this morning."
"What a pity! If I could have gotten to know one or two of them, perhaps I could have obtained a few suitable Dao Soul in the future!"
"Yes, it's been so many years since a new Divine Fishing emerged. In the past, Divine Fishing mostly came from the Sect, and it was never our turn. This time, we heard it was a Rogue Cultivator, and we wanted to pay him a visit, but we missed the opportunity."
That's how fortuitous opportunity; if you miss it, you're never meant to be again!
The visiting Cultivator left disappointed.
Three more months passed, and once again, trouble arose at that Ancient Fishing Platform.
On the shore, a Celestial Person Cultivator exclaimed in surprise, "Another Earth Tier Dao Soul?"
"It is said that the North Spring Mountain Master still resides on this Ancient Fishing Platform!"
"I truly admire you! I've heard you're not even Celestial Person, yet you possess such fishing skills!"
"I consider myself Celestial Person, but since I came to the Boundless River, the most I've ever caught is only Top-Grade Profound Tier!" A Celestial Person Cultivator with a wry smile.
Yi Yunbo sat by the river fishing, appearing much calmer this time, only muttering, "This Brother Gu is truly extraordinary!"
Those who knew Gu Yuanqing before only showed concern as if it were a spectacle, since this Ancient Fishing Platform had been causing quite Motion and Stillness every now and then for the past year or so.
Fishing for Profound Tier Dao Soul is as common as eating and drinking, so it's not surprising that Earth Tier Dao Soul have appeared now.
Gu Yuanqing easily absorbed the three-tailed Fire Fox into the Soul-Sealing Seal.
The two Celestial Person flew towards the Ancient Fishing Platform, but soon returned disappointed.
He was a little puzzled, though. Hadn't he heard that this Daoist Friend was proficient in the arts of water and lightning? Why was he also cultivating the Fire Dao?
Time flies, and another year has passed.
Over the past year, three fluctuations of Earth Tier Dao Soul have occurred on this Ancient Fishing Platform, while the Motion and Stillness caused by Profound Tier Dao Soul are countless.
Everyone looked at the Fishing Platform, their hearts already numb.
She even wondered if she was fishing in the same river as him? Or was the rumor of great Boundless River true, but that fortune was only at the Ancient Fishing Platform?
The change is that several Ancient Fishing Platform that were often vacant were suddenly all occupied, and for several Celestial Person who arrived late had to fish from the shore.
When the year was up and Gu Yuanqing reappeared on the High Platform, he found that countless people on both sides were looking at him.
"What is this?" Gu Yuanqing frowned slightly, not used to being the center of attention.
Yi Yunbo said with a wry smile, "Brother Gu, don't you know the Motion and Stillness you've caused? Even if I wanted to stop you, I couldn't."
"It didn't happen like this last time either?"
"Few people knew when you left the Ancient Fishing Platform last time, but somehow it got out this time."
Gu Yuanqing was both amused and exasperated, and teased, "You're all Celestial Person and Void Heaven Great Cultivator, and you all like to join in the fun so much?"
Yi Yunbo laughed and said, "Who told us this is the Boundless River? There are no Celestial Person here, but the only thing worth paying attention to is the Divine Fishing. Besides, fishing all day is too boring, so of course we have to see some excitement."
What was unexpected was yet to come. First, several Celestial Person from the Illusionary Spirit Sect came to greet us, followed by several more Celestial Person from other sects.
Even though Gu Yuanqing didn't like this kind of scene, he couldn't refuse a smiling face. These people had come to make friends, so he had no choice but to exchange a few perfunctory pleasantries.
Moreover, they are all from the Exquisite World, and after the World Conflict, they may inevitably have to interact with each other.
