Covering the Heavens: Fishing for the Heavens Starting from the Great Accomplished Holy Body

Along the riverbank, willow branches gently brush the water's surface.

Ye Fan squatted by Li Qingshan's bucket, poking at the crucian carp inside with his little hand. As a result, the fish splashed water all over his face.

He wasn't annoyed. He wiped his face haphazardly and ran back to his little fishing rod. He imitated Li Qingshan, frowning and staring intently at the motionless colorful float.

"Uncle Li," Ye Fan turned his head, his little face full of seriousness, "did you secretly put sugar in the fish bait? Fish love sweets, my dad said so."

Li Qingshan, who was leisurely gazing at the river, chuckled upon hearing this: "Your dad knows about this?"

"That's right!"

Ye Fan puffed out her little chest, "My dad said that Uncle Li used to give our family fish, and Mom's fish soup was so delicious!"

"That's true."

Li Qingshan recalled the scene of his first encounter with Ye's father a few years ago, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He turned to the side, looking at Ye Fan's motionless children's fishing rod, and teased, "But little Ye, I think you should smear some sugar on your rod, otherwise why aren't the fish catching you?"

Ye Fan pouted, glanced at Li Qingshan's ordinary-looking, even somewhat old, bamboo fishing rod, then looked at his own brightly colored new rod, and said somewhat indignantly, "It's not the rod's fault, it's...it's that the fish don't recognize me today!"

Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow and said slowly, "How about I teach you a trick, and I guarantee fish will line up to get to know you?"

Ye Fan's eyes lit up: "Really? What move?"

Li Qingshan put down his fishing rod and lowered his voice seriously, "This is a secret technique, it can't be passed on to outsiders. Come here!"

Ye Fan immediately leaned over, his little head almost touching Li Qingshan's face.

Li Qingshan suppressed a laugh and said in a serious tone, "Listen carefully."

"Before your next fishing trip, find a spot where no one can see you, and shout three times at your fishing rod: 'I'm the coolest angler ever!'"

"Remember, when you shout, you have to shout with great force, so the fish will hear you and be attracted by your coolness!"

Ye Fan blinked, paused for two seconds, then his face slowly scrunched up: "Uncle Li, you lied to me again!"

"Hahahaha..."

Li Qingshan finally laughed out loud, reaching out to ruffle Ye Fan's fluffy head. "Silly boy, so easy to fool."

Ye Fan angrily dodged his hand, but soon couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He knew that Uncle Li liked to tease him, but he still fell for it every time.

It's probably because Uncle Li's funny manner is much more entertaining than those adults who always have a stern face.

His gaze returned to Li Qingshan's green bamboo fishing rod.

The rod body is emerald green, smooth and warm, as if it has been used for a long time and has been rubbed to develop a patina, but it looks like it is made of ordinary bamboo. There is not even a decent guide ring, and the fishing line is directly tied to the tip of the rod.

......

"Uncle Li, your fishing rod looks really old. Why don't you get a new one?"

Ye Fan reached out, curiously wanting to touch the bamboo pole. "My dad said it's better to buy a carbon fiber one."

His fingertips were just about to touch the verdant bamboo.

hum! !

A very subtle, almost imperceptible tremor emanated from inside the bamboo pole.

It's like the subconscious reaction of some powerful being when touched by a feather.

Ye Fan was completely unaware that his fingers had already touched the cold bamboo pole.

The feeling upon first use was quite peculiar.

Unlike ordinary bamboo, which is hard and stiff, it has a warm and smooth texture, like jade.

A very, very faint warmth emanated from my fingertips, almost like an illusion, and it felt very comforting.

"what?"

Ye Fan touched it and squeezed it. "Uncle Li, this pole feels quite comfortable to the touch. It's a bit cool, but it also feels a bit warm."

Li Qingshan's eyes flickered slightly as he glanced at the section of the pole that Ye Fan was holding in his small hand.

The Heaven-Severing Pole, an ultimate imperial weapon, was now as docile as a piece of ordinary bamboo.

Even the Emperor's Laws, which are powerful enough to crush galaxies, remained silent as water, afraid of revealing even the slightest aura and harming the innocent little mortal child who had just touched them.

If any other cultivators were here, even those at the Immortal Realm Level 3 who had severed the Dao, were to approach the area within tens of thousands of miles of this pole without permission, they would be instantly crushed into ashes by the extreme Dao energy it emitted.

But now, it's being held and played with by a five-year-old child.

If this scene were seen by the mighty Kungu deep in the starry sky, or by the ancient beings in the forbidden zones of life, their eyes would probably pop out of their sockets.

"This is an old item; you develop an attachment to it after using it for a long time."

Li Qingshan spoke casually, as if he were talking about an ordinary bamboo pole, "Your dad is right, carbon fiber is light and easy to swing, but I'm used to this one, and it's quite comfortable to use!"

Ye Fan nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

He touched it again and found that the bamboo felt really good, even more comfortable than his own toys.

But soon, his attention was drawn back to the fish in the bucket.

"Uncle Li, have you ever used my equipment to fish before?"

Ye Fan suddenly remembered something, looked up and asked, "I heard my mom say that my old diapers from when I was little are missing. Did you take them?"

Li Qingshan choked for a moment, then turned his head: "Cough cough... Who said that? Your mother must be mistaken?"

His gaze was somewhat unfocused.

"And my pacifier!"

Ye Fan counted on his fingers, his little face full of accusation, "My light-up, duck-shaped pacifier just suddenly disappeared! Dad said you probably 'borrowed' it from me, Uncle Li, to use as bait."

"Because you said that anything imbued with 'childlike luck' is especially effective for fishing!"

Li Qingshan touched his nose and looked up at the sky: "Well... your dad has quite a vivid imagination."

But he muttered to himself.

Ye Wentao, that kid, looks honest, but he's quite good at guessing.

However, the fragment of [Void Immortal Gold] that was fished up by the pacifier was later melted into the Sky-Shielding Net, which greatly enhanced the net's concealment capabilities.

As for those diapers...

Sigh, I casually fished up a sapling of the [Starry Immortal Fruit Tree]. It's currently being nurtured in the Bitter Sea with starlight. In tens of thousands of years, when it bears fruit, it should be considered at least at the level of an immortal elixir.

It's not a loss, it's not a loss.

"Uncle Li, you definitely took it!"

Seeing Li Qingshan's expression, Ye Fan felt he had guessed correctly, and put his hands on his hips, saying, "You have to compensate me!"

"Okay, okay, I'll make it up to you."

Li Qingshan was delighted and took out a round, slightly gleaming "candy" from his pocket.

"Here, a secret-recipe chewing gum. Eating it will improve your physique and solidify your foundation... Consider it compensation for your pacifier. Don't tell your parents!"

Ye Fan accepted the "candy".

It feels cool to the touch and has a light, pleasant herbal scent, completely different from real candy.

He looked at it curiously, then smelled it, hesitated for a moment, but still believed that Uncle Li would not harm him.

So I carefully peeled it open and put it in my mouth.

A sweet taste spread, cool as it went down my throat, and I felt a little more refreshed.
