Water Ghost, God Hunter, Immortal Healer, and the Great Xia's Number One Martial Saint!

"What if someone won't let me fish?"

Upon hearing Li Lai agree to his request to go fishing, Li Xingdao was tempted, but his honest face showed a hint of difficulty as he spoke.

"Before you woke up, I told your uncle that two of us need to take care of our health, and another one is preparing to have a baby. So from now on, we'll supply our family with three fish from the lake every day until your aunt gives birth."

Upon hearing Li Xingdao's words, Li Lai smiled and said, "So, we still have 80 fish left this month. Go fishing as much as you want; the dog on the pond won't give you any trouble."

Li Lai is the second son in his family, and he has an older brother named Li Hen.

Li Hen was two years older than him, but he had a son when he was very young, so his son was already half-grown up and named Li Gou (Li Dog).

That's the guy who always watches the pond by the East Pond, a guy with a fierce look on his face.

A humble name is easier to raise a child with; such names are quite common.

Besides these, Li Lai's third brother is called Li Nao, his fourth brother is called Li Huai, his fifth brother is called Li Xiong, his sixth brother is called Li Du, and his seventh brother is called Li Wai.

The family had seven brothers, and they were known for all sorts of wicked, shameless, cowardly, bad, vicious, cruel, and twisted traits, making them famous throughout the surrounding area.

In the next generation, the names were changed, such as Dog, Shit Egg, Squeeze, Silly Egg, and so on, all in order to make the children easier to raise with humble names.

The reason Li Xingdao was somewhat different was because his father was not from this village, but a down-on-his-luck scholar, which is why he had such a normal name.

Unfortunately, despite having a good name, the person is actually quite foolish.

I'm afraid that by vying to name their children "untouchables," they might be setting a negative example...

Apart from Li Lai, his younger brothers are all younger than him, but they all had sons at a young age and are now grown up.

There are one or two young ones, and three or four older ones.

Li Lai has no offspring whatsoever.

Then, he looked at Li Xingdao.

"Oh, Uncle Lai, you're so kind! I'll go fishing for you right now!"

Meanwhile, upon hearing Li Lai's words, Li Xingdao's mind raced, and he spoke with a simple, honest smile.

His heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "I've searched high and low without finding it, but it's right here without any effort at all."

Just as I was thinking about how to upgrade my profession, Li Lai delivered the key to my success!

"Ninety fish a month means ninety experience points. That'll level up the fisherman to level three this month. I wonder how many attribute points that will give!"

Li Xingdao was overjoyed, but his smile became even more honest. He couldn't help but glance at Zhang Cui, who was swaying her big, white, plump buttocks in the kitchen.

My heart is filled with gratitude.

It's all thanks to Zhang Cui that he had the opportunity to develop so well.

Otherwise, how could this opportunity have fallen to him?

"Uncle Lai, would you like your aunt to show me the way?"

Li Xingdao's heart pounded. Just as he was about to properly thank his aunt after he recovered, he turned to look at Li Lai and said with a simple, honest smile.

"It's already agreed that your aunt won't need to lead you this time, and nothing will happen."

Hearing Li Xingdao's friendly greeting, Li Lai's face lit up with a smile. He patted Li Xingdao on the shoulder and said, "You can go by yourself, okay?"

"Okay, Uncle Lai, I'm off."

Without hesitation, Li Xingdao spoke to Li Lai.

He thought to himself that he would thank his aunt properly later.

For now, career advancement is important.

After saying that, under Li Lai's satisfied gaze, he turned around, took the bamboo pole and the cloth bag filled with earthworms, and strode towards Dongtang.

Li Lai watched Li Xingdao's departing figure with a smile, nodded with satisfaction, picked up his cane, and leisurely strolled around the courtyard.

Before he could even walk three laps around the courtyard, he was already out of breath and had to put it down, calling for his wife to boil water to wipe the sweat off his body.

He is physically weak and cannot take a bath at night, so he usually takes one during the day.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cui, who was already prepared, took a towel and went to wipe his sweat.

Li Lai has a habit of washing himself off as soon as he sweats, so that he can wipe the sweat off his body.

As for sleeping, he would lie down and sleep immediately after eating.

What these unruly mountain folk didn't know was that doing this would only gradually worsen their health...

“…………”

Dongtang.

It was late afternoon, and the boy with the pitchfork stood under the shade of a tree, still looking at the pond with high spirits, preventing anyone from getting close to steal fish.

Li Xingdao came over with a fishing rod. When he saw him, he didn't chase him away. Instead, he just looked at him and ignored him as he found a spot by the water plants to sit down.

"It seems this kid really doesn't care anymore."

Seeing him like this, Li Xingdao had an idea, but then ignored him, adjusted his fishing rod, cast the hook into the ditch, and started fishing with great enthusiasm.

And this undeveloped fishpond did not disappoint him. As soon as the hook was cast in, he felt the float being pulled down violently.

"Whoosh~"

Li Xingdao's eyes lit up, and he immediately lifted the fishing rod, catching a crucian carp on the surface of the water.

[Fishing +1]

The information flashed across the panel, and a glint of light appeared in Li Xingdao's eyes. He carefully put the fish in the fish basket, strung it with an earthworm, and continued fishing in the ditch.

"Whoosh~"

[Fishing +1]

[Fishing +1]

"..."

The fishhook was thrown into the ditch, and fish kept biting it.

As the fisherman's experience points steadily increased, Li Xingdao enjoyed the process immensely.

Before I knew it, it was evening.

Finally, he caught another fish.

[Fishing +1]

[Fisherman's experience requirement met; Fisherman Lv2 upgraded to Fisherman Lv3]

[Attribute Points +0.3]

Fishing skill level upgraded to Lv3

[Fishing Lv3 adds the following effect: You can determine where there are fish, where there are no fish, where there are many fish, and where there are few fish by observing the water surface environment and terrain.]

A series of messages flooded the panel, and Li Xingdao's eyes lit up, his heart pounding.

This attribute point level has increased by 0.3!

"Could it be that the attribute points gained at each level are one-tenth of the corresponding level number?"

While Li Xingdao was overjoyed, he couldn't help but wonder. He looked at the words "fishing skill upgrade" and then at the East Pond in front of him.

With just one glance, one can tell where the fish gather in the large fishpond and where the fish gather in the small fishpond!

"It seems that the skills required for these basic professions are only at this level."

Although he instantly understood, Li Xingdao was still somewhat disappointed with the effect of upgrading his fishing skill; the effect was too superficial.

But he wasn't discouraged. Instead, he looked at his fishing profession, which had already reached level 3 with 250 experience points, and his heart was still pounding as he prepared to fish again.

"Doggy, dinner's ready."

Just as Li Xingdao was about to pick up the earthworms, a clear voice rang out from behind him. He turned around and raised his eyebrows.

But then they saw a woman with a voluptuous figure, like a ripe peach, with graceful features and a dignified air. She was walking with long, slender legs, carrying a basket, towards the pond.
