Chapter 509: Chapter 529: Here, Enjoy the Fish _1

Lin Chen was shocked.

There really were fish in this pool!

This was unbelievable.

Surprise also flashed across the middle-aged man’s face. As the makeshift fishing rod was about to fall into the pool, the middle-aged man waved his hand, and the rod gracefully returned to his grasp, as if he had never let go of it at all.

The middle-aged man flicked the fishing rod, and after the fishing line straightened out, it continuously left the water surface and flew into mid-air.

Lin Chen originally thought the pool’s depth did not seem too deep, and the fishing line could have only been two or three meters long. However, in the blink of an eye, the line flew up at least tens of meters, with more still rapidly emerging from the water surface below.

Lin Chen and Zhou Yin both stared in amazement. What was going on?

Were you really fishing at the bottom of a spring?

As the length of the emerging line grew longer and longer, Lin Chen estimated that it had pulled out at least a hundred meters when a silver-white fish suddenly broke through the water surface and flew into the sky. It traced a long parabola in the air before landing into the middle-aged man’s hand.

Lin Chen’s eyes fell on the mysterious fish. He was very curious to know what kind of magical fish this was, actually able to hide in such a deep place.

It was a fish that Lin Chen had never seen before. Its body was silver and white, but along the spine, it was bright red, and there were long whiskers around its mouth, like a silver carp.

"Haha, I’m lucky! We’re having a feast today!"

The middle-aged man laughed, put down the fishing rod, and showed the fish to Lin Chen. "I’ve been fishing for this fish for many years and never hooked it. I finally caught it today after meeting you guys. It seems like your luck has rubbed off on me."

Lin Chen curiously asked, "Senior, what kind of fish is this? I’ve never seen it before..."

The middle-aged man smiled and replied, "This fish is called the Dragon-patterned fish. It likes to live in cold springs. And because of this, its meat is unparalleled as sashimi..."

The middle-aged man reached behind him and took out a silver plate. He casually killed the fish, and then opened his right hand, revealing a small silver knife.

The silver knife spun in the middle-aged man’s hand like a silver light dancing.

Pieces of fish sashimi fell neatly onto the silver plate one by one.

Lin Chen was shocked. He couldn’t even see the middle-aged man’s knife movements!

How fast was this knife?

In the blink of an eye, ten pieces of fish sashimi appeared on the silver plate. He then retracted his hand, and both the fish and the knife vanished.

Lin Chen’s pupils shrank – it was a storage space!

This middle-aged man was a cultivator, possessing something similar to the Storage Ring that Lin Chen wore!

"The rarer the item, the more valuable it is. This fish is very rare, so eating too much of it at once would be a waste."

The middle-aged man took out a silver bowl, filled it with a sauce that resembled soy sauce, and then took out a pair of silver chopsticks. He picked up a piece, dipped it in the sauce, and slowly tasted it, closing his eyes in satisfaction.

"Good! So good! Delicious human delicacy!"

The middle-aged man swallowed the fish, and after savoring for a few seconds, he opened his eyes and looked at Lin Chen and Zhou Yin, who were staring blankly beside him. He said with a smile, "Our meeting is fate. I believe today’s catch may have been due to both of your auspicious presence. Come, you both should try it too. Enriching oneself is not as good as sharing joy with others."

The middle-aged man took out two more pairs of silver chopsticks, handed them to them, and laughed, "This fish is indeed precious, but too much can be harmful to ordinary people. You can eat three pieces, and she can eat one."

"Thank you, senior."

Lin Chen never expected that he would encounter such an expert as soon as he arrived at this Yaochi (Jade Lake), and that the expert would kindly invite him to eat fish!

Although he didn’t know what the origin of this fish was, it must be a treasure since someone like this came to fish for it every so often. Since the other party had made the offer, why would Lin Chen refuse?

Lin Chen took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in his mouth.

One bite, one chew.

Lin Chen’s eyes suddenly widened, as if his taste buds were about to explode.

It was so delicious!

Lin Chen could say responsibly that he had eaten fresh and high-end sashimi before. However, comparing those expensive sashimis to the Dragon-patterned fish in his mouth, they were really nothing!

Lin Chen quietly finished three pieces of sashimi, and the cold sensation in his stomach from eating the icy cold sashimi was suddenly replaced by a rapidly spreading warmth.

Lin Chen’s eyes widened in shock as he looked at the middle-aged man across from him eagerly.

The middle-aged man smiled, "Feel free to use this opportunity for cultivation and see the result."

Lin Chen finally understood.

This Dragon-patterned fish lived in a pool of spring water rich in spiritual energy and was probably full of spiritual energy itself. By eating three pieces, the released energy had to be absorbed quickly.

"Thank you, senior!"

Lin Chen sat down cross-legged and immediately began to cultivate. In no time, he entered the mysterious state of breaking through his limits.

Lin Chen had already been on the verge of becoming an Innate Grandmaster, peering inside the door and even forcing half of his foot through. Now, with the energy from the three pieces of fish frantically circulating inside him, Lin Chen became like a powerlifter with an energy boost, quickly and forcefully pushing open the invisible door.

A formidable aura suddenly erupted from Lin Chen’s body.

Lin Chen had made a breakthrough!
