Chapter 232 Novice Protection Period

Ghost Fortune Koi (rare): Level 13 spiritual pet.

Growth rate: 1.57
Innate talent: Ghostly fortune.

Secret method: Water Spirit Sutra.

Secret technique: tail swinging in the waves.

Secret treasure: None
Chen Guan summoned the Ghost Wealth Koi, and saw a large three-flowered carp more than one meter long, slowly floating in the air around Chen Guan, as if swimming in the water.

It cannot fly too high and flies slowly in the air, but it flies very fast in the water, making it suitable for underwater combat. Its combat effectiveness drops significantly after leaving the water.

However, apart from its innate talent that can increase wealth, the Ghost Wealth Koi's various attributes are unremarkable and there is really no highlight. Its combat power is probably at the bottom among the secret spirits of the same level.

But just for this reason, the Ghost Fortune Koi can be sold at a higher price than combat pets of the same level.

Lao Mo admired Chen Guan's good fortune and kept muttering, "Things like the novice protection period are common."

But then Chen Guan caught fish one after another, mostly ordinary ones, and occasionally a ghost fortune koi.

On the other hand, Lao Mo didn't catch any fish.

"The novice protection period is good, but if you want to fish for a long time, you can't just rely on luck." Lao Mo doesn't care. As a veteran angler, he still has the mentality.

Fishing is not about the short-term gains and losses. It takes a long time. It is definitely not enough to rely on luck alone. In the end, it depends on mentality and skills.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a loud splash from Chen Guan's side, and he caught another fish.

When Lao Mo turned around, his eyes almost popped out of his head.

What Chen Guan pulled out of the water was actually another ghost wealth koi.

Fortunately, this time, the Ghost Fortune Koi was not petted, but it still made Lao Mo's eyes a little red.

"This protection period for novices is quite long..." Lao Mo silently recited the Heart Sutra, his eyes on his nose, his nose on his heart, and his heart on the fishing rod, waiting for himself to catch a fish.

But today was weird. Normally I should have caught fish, but today I didn’t catch a single fish.

Lao Mo even suspected that he had made a mistake when he was fishing in the wrong place and had fished at Chen Guan's fishing spot.

Otherwise, why are there always fish being caught over there but not a single fish being caught over here?

Chen Guan summoned Rouge, Paper Man and Ghost Eye Python. A practitioner of the second awakening can summon three pets at the same time.

The paper man is hidden on the body and quietly gains experience, Yanzhi is responsible for sucking the fish blood, and the ghost-eyed python is responsible for eating the remaining dead fish. There is no waste at all.

Lao Mo was a little surprised when he saw the Ghost Eye Python: "Chen Guan, your pet is the Emperor Pulse Ghost Eye Python from the Ghost Eye Cave, right?"

"Yes." Chen Guan answered casually.

"This is a rare thing. With the Emperor's Ghost Eye Python in your hand, you will make a fortune." Lao Mo said.

"How to get rich?" Chen Guan asked doubtfully.

"Don't you know? The skin of the Emperor's Ghost Eye Python is incredibly rare and precious, a favorite of many wealthy wives. Many are proud to own a pair of bags or shoes made from it. It's incredibly expensive; a single bag can easily cost over a hundred thousand." Old Mo recounted his findings. "Surely, that's the truth! No wonder Li Jinting wanted it so badly. So that's the reason. It seems I sold him the skin too cheaply. How much skin is needed for one bag? A skin this big could make at least seven or eight bags, right?" Chen Guan wasn't sure how much leather was needed for one bag; it was just a conservative estimate.

Even if we calculate based on seven bags, that would be 700,000 yuan, and that's based on the cheapest bag. In fact, some bags made of God Vein Ghost Eye Python skin can be sold for over a million yuan each, but such bags are not made of ordinary snake skins, and require the selection of some special parts.

"I have to have a good talk with Li Jinting later." Chen Guan thought to himself.

After fishing for a while, only Chen Guan kept catching fish. Chen Guan had already caught seventy or eighty fish, while Lao Mo still only caught the one he caught at the beginning, and he didn't catch any fish after that.

Chen Guan got two more soul-enchanting koi pets, two "Water Spirit Sutra" secret cores, and three "Tail Swinging in the Waves" secret cores. The harvest was not much, but compared to Lao Mo next to him, it could really be considered a great harvest.

"How can this be so strange? How can this kid be so lucky?" Lao Mo thought to himself, "I can't go against fate. He's in the novice protection period now, and I can't fight him head-on. Fortunately, I only gave him the ironback worm, which only koi like to eat. I can only catch koi, so I switched bait to catch silver-eye fish."

Thinking of this, Lao Mo took out another bait box, which contained small black beetles. These were the level 1 secret spirit black charcoal beetles that the silver-eyed fish particularly loved to eat.

"So what if it's a novice protection period? If you really want to catch fish well, it depends on your skills. One of my silver-eye fish can be worth a day's fishing for koi." Lao Mo was very confident and regained his composure.

Wow!

Chen Guan caught another fish, but this time Lao Mo didn't even look at it, he was only focused on fishing his own fish.

"Hey, Lao Mo, what kind of fish is this? Why does it have a pair of dead eyes? Could it be a dead fish caught?" Chen Guan's voice came from his side.

When Lao Mo heard this, he was immediately shocked. Catching dead fish is a big taboo in the Yellow Springs River, so he had to leave quickly.

He jumped up suddenly and ran to Chen Guan's side. He saw that Chen Guan's harpoon was holding a silver fish with a pair of eyes like silver crystals.

"You...you call this a dead fish...this is a silver-eye fish...it's much more valuable than a koi..." Lao Mo felt that his heart was not in good condition. He put one hand on his heart and felt that his heart was beating so hard that he was about to have a heart attack.

Golden-eyed turtle and silver-eyed fish are both good things in the Yellow Spring River. Many officers like to eat them. The golden eyes nourish the kidneys, and the silver eyes are good for beauty. They are both popular commodities.

"That's unscientific... Silvereye fish don't eat ironback worms at all... How did he catch a silvereye fish with ironback worms..." Old Mo returned to his fishing spot in frustration, muttering to himself, "Why is this guy's novice protection period so ridiculous?"

Chen Guan knew that the silver-eye fish could be sold for a good price even if it didn't sell for anything, but it had to be kept alive.

He was not that idle, so he let Yanzhi suck his blood and Guiyan satisfy his craving.

After fishing that day, Yanzhi upgraded to level 12, the paper man's level reached level 8, and the ghost eye did not upgrade.

Chen Guan's own level still showed no signs of changing. Even after taking so many high-quality Qi-replenishing pills, he still couldn't upgrade.

"It's getting late, let's go back and not stay here at the Yellow Springs River at night." Lao Mo said as he started packing up.

Chen Guan also packed up his things and was about to leave when he saw a group of people coming towards him.

Seeing that those people were equipped with the standard equipment of the Zhengting Army and their mounts were all Zhaoye Lion Horses, the two of them didn't need to be nervous.

When those people came closer, Chen Guan saw that the person leading the group was actually Li Jinting's adjutant.

"Chen Guan." When Adjutant Chu saw Chen Guan, he rode over directly and greeted him warmly after getting off the horse, as if they were brothers who had not seen each other for many years.
