He achieved the pinnacle of martial arts starting with breaking through the limits of Tiger Fist.

The two men carried the fish into Long's Fish Shop, where the owner, Old Li, immediately came to greet them.

Those who can be shopkeepers are usually good at judging character. He had seen this young man before.

More importantly, this person's relationship with their young mistress seems to be quite unusual.

He had been running the Long family business for many years, and it was rare to find a young man who could make a young lady chat so happily.

"Hey, what kind of fish is this?"

Looking at the strangely shaped thing in front of him, Old Li didn't recognize it either.

But this is not his fault. Yunmengze is too big, and there are countless strange and wonderful creatures.

Without consulting records, many aquatic beasts are difficult to identify at a glance.

"The shopkeeper should go and verify this himself."

Manager Li nodded and called over a shop assistant, "Go and bring the book here."

Then he said to Jiang Lin, "Please have a seat, young master. It may take a while, so please be patient."

Jiang Lin shook his head. "My brother and I have important matters to attend to, so we must take our leave now."

"What should we do with the money?"

Jiang Lin said generously, "Once the manager has calculated the money, just leave it in the account. I'll come and collect it when I have time."

Manager Li was slightly taken aback. He had been a manager for over ten years and this was the first time he had encountered such a customer.

Such a large water beast must cost at least several hundred taels of silver.

Jiang Lin had his own plans. He had clearly given himself away at the entrance of the fish market, and someone with ulterior motives had noticed. So he decided to leave immediately to avoid unnecessary trouble.

As for the money from selling the treasure fish, he wasn't afraid of losing out because of his relationship with his senior sister.

After bidding farewell to Manager Li, Jiang Lin and his companion immediately left.

Sure enough, just as the two arrived at the entrance of the fish market, they heard a voice behind them saying "Wait."

Jiang Lin ignored him and just quickened his pace.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

The problem lies not in the value of the precious fish, but in the rare and precious materials involved.

The two had only been out of the fish market for a quarter of an hour when a man in brocade robes came galloping over with his servants.

"Where are they? Where are they?"

"At the entrance of my fishmonger's stall," the man in brocade robes asked loudly.

"Young Master arrived too late; he has already left."

Why didn't you stop her?

The shopkeeper looked wronged. "They went straight to the Long family's fish stall as soon as they entered the fish market. I couldn't stop them. I guess they have a close relationship with the Long family."

"It's the Long family again. They're grabbing resources and manpower from all the martial arts schools and fish markets. What are they up to?"

The man in brocade robes was furious and ordered, "Go and find out who it is."

"Hmph, although the Long family is powerful, my Eagle Claw Sect is not to be trifled with."

……

The next day, while Jiang and Lin were practicing their martial arts, Senior Sister Long came to their door.

He called the two aside, took out a stack of silver notes, and said, "This is the money from selling fish yesterday."

Jiang Lin took it and counted it briefly; it totaled six hundred taels.

He wasn't stingy either, and casually handed Lin Zheng three silver notes. Others were risking their lives, so he couldn't let them down.

Seeing that he had accepted the money, Long Susu slowly said, "This treasure beast has not yet advanced, so its value is not too high. You have already read the records yourself, so I will not explain further."

Jiang Lin naturally understood that the value of this precious fish lay not in the fish itself, but in the rare and precious materials it represented.

The treasure fish itself is still in its juvenile stage. Although it has consumed the precious medicine, it has not yet completed its advancement, and its value is indeed limited.

Of course, if it were a guardian beast that had advanced to a higher level, the two of them would probably lose their lives, let alone gain anything.

Seeing that the two had finished dividing the spoils, Senior Sister Long crossed her arms and continued, "Don't you two have anything else to say?"

"They're here."

Jiang Lin thought to himself, and couldn't help but exchange a glance with Lin Zheng.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Jiang Lin was quite straightforward and said, "Senior Sister is right, there is indeed another discovery."

Long Susu showed an expression of appreciation. This junior brother was quite honest and did not try to deceive her with words.

"Hmm, what did you find?"

"Senior Sister, do you know what this Vermilion Fruit is?"

Long Susu raised an eyebrow; even with her knowledge, she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

The "Vermilion Fruit" is a wonderful thing that can improve one's physical constitution. For martial artists, it is no exaggeration to call it a sacred item. It is enough to raise the physical constitution of an ordinary person to the superior level.

Although there are countless people in the world with superior physical attributes.

But in this small county town, this means genius, and a formidable force in a few years. Just for that reason alone, people flock to it.

"have eaten?"

The two nodded. "We ate."

Suddenly, Long Susu stepped forward, her hands forming claws as she reached for Jiang Lin's shoulders, as if to pull him into her arms.

Jiang Lin was startled, but the difference in their cultivation levels was too great, and he couldn't react in time.

"Don't move."

With a clear shout, Long Susu moved her hands down from her shoulders to her lumbar spine and then to her hips.

Jiang Lin first felt a sharp pain, followed by a fragrant aroma that wafted over him, as sweet as orchids and as alluring as musk, stirring his imagination.

After sculpting Jiang Lin, Long Susu repeated the same actions on Lin Zheng.

Jiang Lin was alright, after all, he had the experience from his previous life.

Lin Zheng had never experienced such a scene before. He had never had such contact with a woman in his life, and he immediately blushed.

"As expected of the effects of the Vermilion Fruit, you two are now both of superior quality."

Long Susu's eyes shone brightly as she eagerly asked, "Is there any more?"

Lin Zheng glanced at Jiang Lin, signaling him to answer. This senior sister had been extremely kind to the two of them, so he couldn't lie about it.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Jiang Lin thought to himself, "Now that you've seen it, how am I supposed to refuse?"

However, Jiang Lin also knew very well that there was no use in eating more of these Vermilion Fruits, and they would have to be sold off sooner or later.

Compared to her, he was closer to Senior Sister Long and had a better relationship with her. Given his personality, he would prefer to trade with her.

"Yes, there is one left."

Jiang Lin readily agreed.

Upon hearing Jiang Lin's answer, Senior Sister Long immediately became excited. "Good, Junior Brother is indeed frank. As expected of someone I value. What do you two plan to exchange this for?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheng shook his head first, "The gains this time have far exceeded my expectations. Besides, my contribution was minimal, so I will no longer participate in the profits from this Vermilion Fruit."

"Look at what it means to know when to advance and retreat." As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted the admiring gazes of the other two, which greatly increased their goodwill towards him.

"Alright, since that's the case, then Junior Brother Jiang, what do you wish to exchange this for?"

Having said all that, a deal was now unavoidable. However, Jiang Lin still had something to say: "Senior Sister, please wait. This fruit is not yet ripe. In my estimation, it will take another six months for it to fully ripen. We can discuss the exchange later."

Senior Sister Long waved her hand generously, "Junior Brother, you don't need to worry about this. The Long family has its own plans. Just make your request."

Since that's what they said, Jiang Lin naturally stopped dwelling on it. "Then may I bring it up?"

"carry."

After a moment's thought, Jiang Lin said, "I want to exchange it for my senior sister's unique cultivation technique."

"The Skill of Parting Water and Fighting Waves".

"..."

Upon hearing this, Long Susu felt awkward. It wasn't that the value was mismatched, but rather that she didn't have the authority to do so.

Jiang Lin's motivation was simpler: he had recently encountered Bao Yu and felt deeply inadequate in his abilities.

This is still a relatively low-level treasure fish, and it's already so difficult to catch. With his current abilities, he can only stare helplessly at the higher-level ones.

If one learns the Dragon Family's water-based skills and combines them with their own fishing abilities, then their future path will be much easier.

After all, as one's cultivation level increases, the demand for resources will also increase.

He currently has enough silver to clear all three trials and still have some left over, but he must also consider the path ahead.

Long Susu couldn't make up her mind for the time being, so she said, "Junior brother, don't rush. Let me go home and inform them. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer tomorrow."
