Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 27: Forced Buying and Selling
Another few minutes passed.
Jiang Fan was experinting with the usage of the Space Ring. By bringing the ring close to an object and urging it with his consciousness, the object could be placed within the internal space.
Then, with just a thought, the object inside could be taken out, making it extrely convenient.
However, only inanimate objects could be stored inside; living beings could not.
It truly was an immortal item, full of mysteries and unmatched by mortal world items.
"It seems the effect of Luck Points is even more magical than imagined."
Jiang Fan's eyes flickered.
He realized that the reason he could refine this Space Ring was thanks to the power of Luck Points.
Without Luck Points, if he were just an ordinary person, it would be impossible to refine it.
Thus, Luck Points not only helped him improve his cultivation technique but also assisted in refining treasures.
Initially, he was wondering how to secretly take away the cooked Red-Scaled Treasure Fish, but with the Space Ring, that was no longer a problem.
Moreover, when the Space Ring was worn on his finger, it beca invisible.
It completely fused into the flesh and disappeared.
This way, others couldn't see the Space Ring on his hand.
"But why is there a Space Ring here?"
"Could it be that there are immortals at Yunng Lake?"
Jiang Fan's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but make such a conjecture.
As a fisherman residing at Yunng Lake, he had heard various legends about the lake.
It was said that immortals once lived in the lake, and even dragons fell here.
However, over ti, nothing miraculous was seen at Yunng Lake, and everyone deed these legends as re stories.
Yet the appearance of the Space Ring indicated that there was sothing uncommon about this lake, perhaps hiding a great secret.
But he didn't overthink it.
Even if Yunng Lake held so grand secret, it wasn't sothing he could touch now.
Gurgle gurgle~~
As the pot water boiled, chunks of Red-Scaled Treasure Fish were tossed in, quickly cooking.
Instantly, each chunk of fish at emitted a red glow.
Simultaneously, a tantalizing aroma filled the air.
It seed to lure out Jiang Fan's cravings, as if every cell got excited.
Even though no seasoning was added, it released such alluring fragrance.
Purely because the ingredients were so exceptional.
Even without any culinary skill, simply cooking it made it a rare delicacy.
Slling such aroma, Jiang Fan couldn't hold back any longer, using chopsticks to pick out a piece to taste carefully.
Fresh!
It was just so fresh!
The fish lted as soon as it entered the mouth, stimulating the taste buds.
Even in his previous life, he had never tasted such fresh fish, making one crave more.
More importantly, when the fish entered the stomach, it seed to release vast energy, causing his stomach to churn, continually digesting the imnse energy contained in each piece.
This was certainly a great nourishnt.
"It's too nourishing."
Unable to restrain himself, Jiang Fan began practicing the Soaring Snake Breathing Technique, seeming to turn his whole body into a soaring snake, with each organ generating powerful digestive force, devouring the energy contained in the Red-Scaled Treasure Fish.
This pure energy swiftly transford into vast blood essence, flowing through his body.
Instantly, every muscle seed to be strengthened, his power increasing substantially.
Now, he understood why martial artists were so eager to obtain Treasure Fish.
For martial artists, Treasure Fish's value rivaled any Treasure dicine.
Unlike Treasure dicines, consuming too many might lead to drug resistance and poison.
The Treasure Fish had no side effects.
It also promoted bodily evolution, strengthening every part.
Thinking about this, Jiang Fan couldn't help himself, indulging completely, regardless of the scorching fish at.
In just ten minutes, two or three pounds of Red-Scaled Treasure Fish at entered his stomach.
His whole body seed to turn into a furnace, filled with vast heat, with steam releasing from every pore.
He felt an unprecedented feeling of fullness.
Feeling incredibly satisfied.
"This Red-Scaled Treasure Fish can last for a week's als."
Feeling very satisfied, Jiang Fan found himself unable to eat any more, knowing the human body could only digest limited energy daily.
Continuing to eat would result in diminishing returns.
He also wished to leave so Red-Scaled Treasure Fish at for Su Weiwei to enjoy.
Another hour passed.
Jiang Fan placed the recently caught fish into baskets.
A total of seven or eight were filled, a substantial haul.
Selling them could earn a month's living expenses for a fisherman's family.
Although he didn't want to sell them to the Dragon King Gang's fish cage, living in Osmanthus Village ant he had no choice.
As long as the Dragon King Gang remained, he had to endure their exploitation.
Whoosh!
The Upturned Boat sailed towards the distant fish cage.
Soon, it arrived at the fish cage's dock.
By now, nurous fishern had already gathered at the dock.
mbers of the Dragon King Gang rushed over like dogs slling excrent.
They were here to purchase the fish caught by the fishern.
Then they could sell them to various Tonghe County taverns, or vegetable vendors, noble families.
Selling at double the purchase price was a massive profit.
The fishern worked hard to catch fish, but most of the money went to these interdiaries.
Without much effort.
"Elder Luo."
At this mont, all Dragon King Gang mbers stopped in their tracks, showing fearful expressions, for the newcor was Dragon King Gang's Elder Luo Zheng.
Having lost a son recently, Elder Luo Zheng was in a foul mood.
Crossing him could lead to dire consequences.
"Hmm."
Barely acknowledging, Luo Zheng looked over the fish baskets brought by the fishern, filled with rapidly squirming fish, seemingly satisfied.
"Your fish are good, I'll take them all."
Luo Zheng declared directly.
What?!
At these words, the fishern's faces changed.
Truth be told, selling to anyone was fine, as long as the price was fair.
The problem was Luo Zheng's notorious stinginess, offering a price thirty percent lower than the fish cage.
The fish cage's price was already low.
And now Luo Zheng was squeezing out even more.
Practically consuming the fishern's flesh and blood.
"What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied?"
With a cold snort, Luo Zheng looked unkindly at the fishern.
Anyone bold enough to stand out would be severely beaten.
"No, no, it's an honor to sell fish to Lord Luo."
The fishern grinned and didn't dare confront him.
eting Elder Luo Zheng at this ti was just unfortunate.
For a weak person to resist the strong was inherently wrong in this world.
"Very well."
"Don't think my purchase price is low."
"It's just you aren't working hard enough."
"If you hauled in vast quantities, even low prices would lead to prosperity."
"Make up for quality with quantity."
"So stop blaming others for your poverty, perhaps reflect on your own laziness."
"If you're diligent, how could you fail to support your family?"
Luo Zheng spoke with an air of self-righteousness.
