Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 29: Evil Guest Visits
After a few more days passed.
Jiang Fan did not go fishing; instead, he stayed at ho, intimately connected with Su Weiwei.
After all, fishern do not need to go fishing every day; there are tis for rest.
Moreover, as newlyweds, they were indulging in their new life, unable to extricate themselves.
"Husband, I feel like my strength has increased quite a bit."
After consuming a few Red-Scaled Treasure Fish and absorbing Jiang Fan's energy, Su Weiwei noticed a stream of energy circulating throughout her body, making her considerably stronger.
Previously, she was just an ordinary rural woman with typical strength.
But now, her strength had at least increased to over two hundred pounds.
Even an average adult male's strength couldn't match hers.
There was no doubt it was due to the Red-Scaled Treasure Fish.
It was effective for Martial Artists, but it also had a significant effect on ordinary people.
Of course, for her, the biggest effect wasn't the increased strength, but rather her skin seed to have improved, becoming smoother and more supple.
"It must be due to the Red-Scaled Treasure Fish."
"It's a pity you can't learn the Soaring Snake Technique, otherwise you could practice martial arts too."
Jiang Fan said regretfully.
He had wanted to teach Su Weiwei martial arts, to give her the power of self-defense.
Unfortunately, the Soaring Snake Technique is a top-level Martial Arts Technique, with an extrely high difficulty for beginners.
It's simply not sothing ordinary people can learn.
Previously, he had to rely on the power of Luck Points to master the technique.
So, despite practicing for several days, Su Weiwei couldn't find the right thod.
"I'm sorry, husband, my aptitude is really too poor."
Su Weiwei said apologetically.
She also wanted to learn, but she simply couldn't grasp it.
No matter how hard she tried, it was difficult for her to understand.
"No, no, no, it's not about your aptitude."
"It's just that this technique doesn't suit you."
"In the future, if we find a technique that suits you, we'll let you practice."
Jiang Fan consoled her, holding Su Weiwei close.
He always felt that Su Weiwei had special qualities, not like ordinary won.
She just couldn't find a suitable technique, hence unable to enter the Martial Dao.
If the world had a Cultivation thod, perhaps Su Weiwei could try, maybe it would have miraculous effects.
But to acquire a Cultivation thod, it wouldn't be that simple either.
"Mm."
Hearing this, Su Weiwei nodded, feeling warm inside.
Thud! Thud! Thud!!!
Just then, there was a sudden urgent knock on the door outside.
"Who is it?"
Jiang Fan asked, quickly putting on his clothes and getting out of bed.
"It's , little Fan, it's Uncle Fugui."
A familiar voice ca from outside, it was none other than their neighbor, Song Fugui.
Song Fugui?!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan raised his eyebrows. Back when his parents were alive, relations with Song Fugui's family were neither good nor bad, at most a nodding acquaintance.
After his parents passed away, he rarely interacted with Song Fugui's family.
Except when going out, he would occasionally greet them when they t.
He didn't expect Song Fugui to proactively co to his door now.
What could it be about? Borrowing money, or sothing else?
In any case, there's no smoke without fire.
He instinctively felt it wasn't sothing good.
However, since they were neighbors, eting was inevitable.
Thinking this, Jiang Fan went forward and said, "Oh, it's Uncle Fugui, what's the matter?"
"Haha, good news, of course there's good news for you."
"But this isn't the place to talk, shall we go sowhere else?"
Song Fugui said with a simple smile, looking at Jiang Fan with a disarming honesty.
He glanced around, appearing very cautious, afraid of being overheard.
"Sowhere else? What urgent matter could it be?"
Jiang Fan asked curiously, but he didn't refuse, as he was skilled and confident, even if the other party had bad intentions, they couldn't do anything to him.
Led by Song Fugui, they reached a secluded house in the village.
Inside the house, there were already a few people gathered.
They were all from the village, around twenty or thirty years old, all young and strong fishern.
Although they weren't very familiar, they at least exchanged greetings before.
"Little Fan, I'll get straight to the point."
"I believe you know the Dragon King Gang has been getting more and more outrageous recently."
"It's making it hard for everyone to earn a living."
"If this continues, we won't even be able to pay next month's monthly salary."
"So I found a way to make a fortune, hoping everyone can make money together and have a warm winter."
Song Fugui looked at Jiang Fan earnestly.
"No need, Uncle Fugui."
"Although I'm indeed struggling now."
"I can barely survive, so I don't want to get involved in other things. I hope you understand, Uncle Fugui."
Jiang Fan waved his hand, decisively refusing.
He didn't know what money-making thod the other party had.
But he had been scamd too many tis in his previous life, so he learned one thing early on:
There is no free lunch in the world.
Anyone offering to teach you how to make money actually wants to make money off you.
Unfortunately, many people don't understand this, and still willingly get deceived.
But there's no help for it; many people are afraid of poverty and would rush in when they see a hope of wealth.
This is also why many people get scamd.
"Little Fan, don't be quick to refuse."
"I know you're worried about the risks involved."
"But all the risks are on , Song Fugui, and have little to do with you."
"Here's the thing: I plan to buy up all the fish caught by everyone, and then sell them to Tonghe County."
"I have a lead in Tonghe County to make so good money."
Song Fugui stated directly.
Hearing this, Jiang Fan imdiately understood Song Fugui's plan: he wanted to bypass the Dragon King Gang as a middleman and sell the fish directly to major shops in Tonghe County.
By doing so, at least double the profit, maybe more.
If successful, it would undoubtedly be a lucrative business, enticing enough for people to take risks.
The problem is, doing so ans cutting into the Dragon King Gang's turf.
It's known that the Dragon King Gang, being fish mavericks, not only monopolized fish in over a dozen nearby villages but also the major shops in Tonghe County.
If the Dragon King Gang discovered soone trying to smuggle fish, attempting to cut into their business, they'd be harshly punished.
At best, you'd be beaten to a pulp; at worst, you'd be killed.
Frankly, this isn't illegal.
It's just selling fish, after all.
But the Dragon King Gang is the local tyrant, their rules are the law.
No one can do anything to them; people can only endure their exploitation.
"Uncle Fugui, I understand what you an."
"But this really can't be done."
"You know what the Dragon King Gang is like."
"If they find out, our lives wouldn't be worth much."
Jiang Fan shook his head.
Honestly, he wasn't interested in that kind of business, since the risk was too high.
He could live well enough as it is, why get involved in such matters.
If it were truly that easy to succeed, the Dragon King Gang wouldn't be the local fish barons.
"This."
Song Fugui was surprised that even after explaining his position, Jiang Fan planned to refuse.
This was sowhat unexpected.
"Little Fan, you're really being ungrateful."
"Uncle Fugui's warm invitation can't be refused."
"Yeah, such a big matter has been revealed to you, if you don't leave sothing as leverage, do you think we'd feel at ease?"
"If you report us to the Dragon King Gang, wouldn't we be finished?"
At this mont, several young fishern next to Jiang Fan stared at him with unfriendly expressions and said.
