Chen Guan summoned the Ghost Wealth Koi, and a large koi over a meter long with tri-colored scales slowly floated around Chen Guan in the air, as if swimming in water.

It couldn't fly very high, and flew slowly in the air, but was very fast in water, suitable for underwater combat, though its combat power dropped significantly out of water.

However, apart from its lifebound talent that could increase wealth luck, the Ghost Wealth Koi's other attributes were unremarkable, and its combat power was probably at the bottom among spirit pets of the same level.

Yet just for this reason, the Ghost Wealth Koi could sell for a higher price than battle pets of the same level.

Lao Mo marveled at Chen Guan's good luck, murmuring, "This newbie protection period happens often, too."

But then, Chen Guan kept catching fish after fish, mostly ordinary ones with an occasional Ghost Wealth Koi.

On the other hand, Lao Mo couldn't catch any fish at all.

"The newbie protection period is great, but if you want to fish long-term, you can't just rely on luck." Lao Mo didn't mind, as a seasoned fisherman, he kept his composure.

Fishing isn't about short-term gains or losses; there's a long time ahead, and relying solely on luck won't work. In the end, it comes down to mindset and skill.

Just as he was thinking, there was a splash on Chen Guan's side, and another fish was caught.

Lao Mo turned to look and nearly popped his eyes out.

Chen Guan had caught another Ghost Wealth Koi from the water.

Luckily this time, the Ghost Wealth Koi hadn't undergone petification, yet it still made Lao Mo's eyes a bit red with envy.

"This newbie protection period is quite long..." Lao Mo silently recited the Heart Sutra of Non-anger, keeping his eyes on his nose, his nose on his heart, and his heart on the fishing rod, waiting for his own catch.

Yet today was odd, not a single fish was caught during the usual catching times.

Lao Mo even doubted whether he had mistakenly baited Chen Guan's fishing spot when setting the feed.

Otherwise, why was that side constantly catching fish, while this side wasn't catching any?

Chen Guan summoned Yan Zhi, Paperman, and Ghost-Eyed Python; a Second Awakening cultivator could summon three pets simultaneously.

Paperman quietly gained experience while hidden on Chen Guan's body, Yan Zhi was in charge of absorbing fish blood, and Ghost-Eyed Python was responsible for eating the leftover dead fish, ensuring nothing went to waste.

Lao Mo was a bit surprised to see the Ghost-Eyed Python: "Chen Guan, is that pet the Emperor Vein Ghost-Eyed Python from the Ghost Eye Cave?"

"Yes." Chen Guan answered offhandedly.

"It's a rare thing indeed, with an Emperor Vein Ghost-Eyed Python, you're in for big fortune." Lao Mo said.

"How do I get rich?" Chen Guan asked in confusion.

"You didn't know? The skin of the Emperor Vein Ghost-Eyed Python is extremely rare and a favorite among many noblewomen. Many of them pride themselves on owning a handbag or shoes made of its skin, and those things are very expensive; even one bag can easily cost over a hundred thousand." Lao Mo shared what he knew.

"Is that so? No wonder Li Jinting was so eager to get the Ghost-Eyed Python shedding, that's why. Seeing it this way, I sold him the shedding too cheaply. How much skin does a bag need? That big a shedding could at least make seven or eight bags, right?" Chen Guan wasn't sure how much skin a bag required, just estimating conservatively.

If we count seven bags, that's seven hundred thousand alone, and that's calculating with the cheapest bags; in fact, a bag made from Emperor Vein Ghost-Eyed Python skin can sell for over a million, but such bags aren't made from ordinary shedding; they need selected special parts.

"I'll have to chat with Li Jinting properly later." Chen Guan thought to himself.

Fishing continued for a while, and only Chen Guan's side kept catching fish; he had caught seventy or eighty fish, while Lao Mo only caught the one at the beginning, none afterwards had even bitten the bait.

Chen Guan got two more Bewitching Koi pets, two "Water Spirit Scripture" Secret Technique Cores, and three "Wave Tail Swing" Secret Skill Cores. The haul wasn't much, but compared to Lao Mo beside him, it was indeed a big harvest.

"Why is it so bizarre, this kid's luck is just too good?" Lao Mo mused: "I can't go against fate, now during his newbie protection period, I can't directly compete with him. Fortunately, I only gave him the Iron-Backed Insect, which only Koi like, so he can only catch Koi; I'll switch bait and fish for Silver-Eyed Fish."

Thinking this, Lao Mo took out another bait box, containing tiny black beetles, a type of black carbon bug that Silver-Eyed Fish particularly liked to eat, classified as level 1 secret spirit.

"The newbie protection period is fine, but to truly fish well, it all comes down to skill. One Silver-Eyed Fish can be worth a whole day of Koi catches." Lao Mo regained his composure, steadied his mindset.

Splash!

Chen Guan caught another fish again, but this time Lao Mo didn't even look, intent on focusing on his own fish.

"Hey, Lao Mo, what kind of fish is this, with those dead fish eyes? Is it a dead fish that got hooked?" Chen Guan's voice came over.

At once Lao Mo was startled, catching a dead fish was taboo on the Yellow Springs River, and he had to leave quickly.

He jumped up and ran over to Chen Guan's side, only to see Chen Guan's fishing fork speared a fish that was entirely silver-white, with eyes like silver crystals.

"You... you call this a dead fish... this is a damn Silver-Eyed Fish... worth much more than Koi..." Lao Mo felt his heart wasn't doing well, pressing one hand against his heart, feeling it pounding, almost giving him a heart attack.

Golden-eyed turtles and Silver-Eyed Fish are some of the best stuff in the Yellow Springs River, with many officers loving to eat them. Gold eyes are for kidney nourishment, silver eyes for beauty, both are hot commodities.

"This doesn't make sense... Silver-Eyed Fish don't eat Iron-Backed Insects... how did he manage to catch a Silver-Eyed Fish with Iron-Backed Insects..." Lao Mo dejectedly returned to his fishing spot, pondering in confusion: "Why is this guy's newbie protection period so absurd?"

Chen Guan learned that even without doing anything, the Silver-Eyed Fish could sell for a nice value, though it needed to be kept alive.

He wasn't that idle, he directly let Yan Zhi suck the blood, and Ghost Eye have a snack.

After a day of fishing, Yan Zhi leveled up, reaching level 12, Paperman reached level 8, Ghost Eye didn't level up.

Chen Guan himself showed no sign of leveling up, even after consuming so many high-quality Qi Replenishing Pills, he was unable to level up.

"It's getting late, we should head back, don't stick around the Yellow Springs River at night," Lao Mo said as he began packing.

Chen Guan also packed up his things, just as they were about to leave, a team approached them.

Looking at them, they all seemed to be equipped with the standard gear of the Main Court Army, their mounts were Zhaoye Lion Horses, so the two didn't need to be nervous.

As they got closer, Chen Guan recognized the leader as Li Jinting's adjutant.

"Chen Guan," the adjutant surnamed Chu saw Chen Guan, rode over swiftly, and dismounted to greet him with enthusiasm, as if they were long-lost brothers.
