Chapter 262: Chapter 131: Sword Cultivation Method and Thunder Skill

Lu Wei’Er, who was standing beside, couldn’t help but widen her eyes upon hearing this.

Originally, she was slightly proud because she had caught the first White Jade Spotted Fish, earning an unexpected 150 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones. But now, hearing that the White Jade Spotted Fish caught by Qian Xiaoyue was directly bid at 8000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, she was truly struck by an indescribable shock.

Eight thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

In the Hexagonal Pavilion, after working for ten years, she hadn’t earned half of that even with additional income.

And yet, Qian Xiaoyue merely caught one fish and earned that much?

Such luck made it hard for her not to feel jealous. She reluctantly said, "Xiaoyue, I truly congratulate you."

Others at this moment displayed deep expressions of envy on their faces.

Qian Xiaoyue remained silent, only looking at Zhou Changwang for help.

In fact, Zhou Changwang wasn’t sure about the exact value of this Spirit Fish either.

But clearly, 8000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones weren’t enough.

Because while holding it, he could feel the fish’s weight had reached up to thirteen pounds, significantly larger than the one Elder Peng caught thirty years ago.

Back then, that fish was sold for 8800 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, so this one would undoubtedly be worth much more.

"Xiaoyue, the price of this Spirit Fish is remarkable.

Especially its grade, which has reached the Middle Tier.

Mid-level White Jade Spotted Fish are priceless, with no market supply. Thirty years ago at Bai Yufeng, after consuming too many Spirit Pills, the Erysipelas accumulated, trapping him at Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation for five years. He only broke through to Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation after consuming a Mid-Tier First Grade White Jade Spotted Fish, which purified his physique and expelled most of the Erysipelas. Additionally, this Spirit Fish itself possesses the ability to loosen bottlenecks, allowing Bai Yufeng to achieve Foundation Establishment Realm within ten years and become a True Cultivator."

At this moment, Shen Xinyue spoke up, directly pointing out this Spirit Fish’s function and actual value. After pausing, she continued, "Xiaoyue, if you sell this Spirit Fish here, it certainly won’t fetch the right price.

If you trust me, you might as well hold onto it until we reach Divine Wind Valley Marketplace, and I’ll find a buyer for you.

I guarantee the price will not be less than 10,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones. How about it?"

"Sister Shen, I certainly trust you.

I’ll listen to you!"

Qian Xiaoyue quickly nodded and said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xinyue affectionately patted her head and then glanced at Captain Ge Yuan Mountain, saying, "Captain Ge, regarding this Spirit Fish, I think you are merely collecting it.

However, the current chaos at Fengming Dock Marketplace means this excellent Spirit Fish might not sell for a good price.

Of course, if Fellow Daoist is willing to offer 10,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones... Xiaoyue may be my sister, but I can’t say much on the matter; whether to sell or not is entirely up to her."

"I indeed cannot offer 10,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."

Captain Ge Yuan Mountain chuckled awkwardly upon hearing it and said.

Indeed, he was merely purchasing the Spirit Fish to resell to other fish vendors. Now that the marketplace was chaotic, who knew what might happen? He naturally didn’t dare to take such a risk.

Having also realized Shen Xinyue’s move was obviously to "protect the price" for Qian Xiaoyue.

After weighing the pros and cons, he certainly had to give up.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, can we discuss the price of your Spirit Fish now?

Frankly, I’ve been stuck at this realm for quite a while.

This White Jade Spotted Fish is exactly what I need. I won’t demand a Mid-grade Spirit Fish for 10,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, but I do hope Fellow Daoist Zhou could sell me this fish, how about it?"

And at this moment, Wenren Xiu looked at Zhou Changwang and said.

"Naturally, we can.

Just the price..."

Zhou Changwang first handed over the Spirit Fish, already sealed with a Sealing Talisman, to Qian Xiaoyue, then glanced at Wenren Xiu, signaling him to offer a price.

"Three hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones per pound?"

Wenren Xiu tentatively suggested.

"Alright!"

Zhou Changwang quickly nodded.

This was indeed a windfall, and the price was quite in line with what Captain Ge Yuan Mountain mentioned earlier; he wasn’t greedy.

Finally, when weighing the fish, it barely reached slightly over five pounds, so Zhou Changwang skipped the remaining decimals, and thus received 1500 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

"In this way, my total spirit stone count reaches 11,500 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

It turns out my spirit stone count didn’t decrease during this outing but rather increased, comparable to over a month’s previous earnings."

A slight smile appeared on Zhou Changwang’s face as well.

This wealth was more substantial than many Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation practitioners.

...

In this fishing event, some rejoiced, while others despaired.

In the next two consecutive hours, although occasionally some caught Spirit Fish, none as precious as the White Jade Spotted Fish got hooked again.

As daylight breaks, the fishing boat set sail once more.

A day later.

The fishing boat docked.

"If you head up from here and continue straight, you can reach Divine Wind Valley Marketplace."

Upon docking, Captain Ge Yuan Mountain said.

"Thank you, Captain Ge, for your care along the way."

Shen Xinyue also cupped her hands.

"You’re welcome!"

Captain Ge Yuan Mountain reciprocated the gesture, then turned the boat around and headed back.

"We’ve finally left Jade Lake.

Jade Lake is truly vast, and the danger level is indeed high; without Captain Ge’s experience allowing us to detour around several dangerous waters beforehand, it would have been hard to escape smoothly."

Cultivator Lu Yun from Shuiyun Pavilion couldn’t help but sigh and say.

The surrounding people agreed and nodded upon hearing it.
