Piao Miaoxu nodded slightly. Having a good subordinate is indeed a blessing, she thought.

"However..."

"However what?"

"Well, do you have the confidence to save someone from an Ascension Expert?" Wang Mu asked in a low voice. "Will there be any danger?"

"Rest assured." Piao Miaoxu smiled faintly. "Who am I? Danger exists, of course, but for me, retreating completely unscathed is a piece of cake."

"That’s good then!"

Qianzhou, Heavenly Water Pool.

The Heavenly Water Pool, located in southwestern Qianzhou, was originally named Heavenly Water Peak. During a time of great worldly change and anomalies between Heaven and Earth, the sky above this place cracked open slightly. Heavenly waters then poured down, forming a jasper-like pool and nurturing the Heavenly Water Peak, which became abundant in Spiritual Energy.

Later, an extraordinary individual attained enlightenment there. After crossing their tribulation and ascending, they roamed the Nine Provinces for five hundred years before passing away, having attained immortality.

In the twilight of his life, this extraordinary individual founded the Heavenly Water Sect, passing down his Daoist lineage.

Unfortunately, though the Heavenly Water Sect’s lineage was powerful, individuals with excellent talent were few. As a result, the current Heavenly Water Sect could only barely be considered a First-class Sect in Qianzhou.

It still fell somewhat short compared to top-tier sects like the Supreme Mysterious Dao Sect and the Fentian Temple.

「At one corner of the Heavenly Water Peak.」

Wang Mu had already arrived.

Of course, he wasn’t the only one.

Anglers from all over the Nine Provinces were also present.

He had heard the news about the Heavenly Water Sect’s Ruoshui Pond from an Elder the last time he was at the reservoir.

"The Heavenly Water Sect cordially invites anglers of the Nine Provinces to the Ruoshui Pond to observe the celestial fishing. This may create opportunities for Cultivation and allow one to partake in a feast of Immortal Fish..."

When a First-class Sect wished to make a name for itself in the Nine Provinces and enhance its prestige, it would often host such large-scale events.

Simply put, these events were a way to provide benefits to the cultivators of the Nine Provinces.

Once their reputation spread, cultivators with excellent talent, or some powerful Loose Cultivators, would be drawn to join them.

It also allowed for forging connections with other sects.

Such grand events were often excellent opportunities to establish ties with sects and clans from other continents. Although hosting one consumed considerable manpower and resources, it was definitely worthwhile overall.

Naturally, cultivators of the Evil Path were generally expelled upon entering the Heavenly Water Sect’s jurisdiction.

The Heavenly Water Sect also has a Tribulation Crossing Cultivator, though only one.

The Heavenly Water Pool area was protected by powerful, large-scale barrier Arrays.

Under the guise of Qin Mu, a Loose Cultivator, Wang Mu easily infiltrated the Heavenly Water Sect and obtained a Fishing Sect pass, allowing him to fish in the Ruoshui Pond.

"This fishing event will last for more than a month."

"Immortal Items are the best catches, followed by Taoist Items, but it all depends on personal fortune."

"The use of Magic Powers within the Ruoshui is forbidden..."

These rules were very similar to those at the East Travel Reservoir.

However, in terms of quality, the Ruoshui Pond was a notch above the East Travel Reservoir.

The reason was simple: the East Travel Reservoir, at most, had Immortal Spiritual Fish.

The Heavenly Water Sect’s Ruoshui Pond, according to rumor, contained Divine-grade Spirit Fish.

A rumor alone is enough incentive, Wang Mu thought.

Moreover, the Ruoshui Pond was said to have been formed from heavenly water that descended from a crack in the Heavenly Vault, making it of a higher grade.

The anglers participating varied in their Cultivation levels. Golden Core cultivators accounted for the majority—at least fifty percent. Thirty percent were Nascent Soul cultivators, and the remaining twenty percent were Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Divinity Transformation Experts were very rare, and Tribulation Crossing Experts could be counted on one hand.

Logically, if there were Divine Fish, Ascension Experts should be drawn to fish for them. So why weren’t there any?

Because the Ascension Experts who might have fished here had likely already done so. Those who hadn’t come probably believed they couldn’t catch such Divine-grade Spirit Fish anyway.

On the contrary, many Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators wanted to try their luck. If fortune truly smiled upon them and they caught a Divine-grade Spirit Fish, the reward was obvious. They could gift it to an Ascension Expert, and their cultivation path in the Nine Provinces would become smooth sailing.

Wang Mu hadn’t come here to fish, of course.

He was here for Immortal Official Qian Mo.

The Moon God had only said Qian Mo was here; pinpointing his exact identity was difficult.

After all, as an Immortal Official, he must have disguised himself upon descending to the Lower Realm to avoid easy detection.

Still, narrowing the search down to the Ruoshui Pond made things relatively easier.

However, with so many anglers present, finding the specific individual was no easy task.

If that person came here to fish, and if he truly intends to catch an Immortal Spirit Fish... then all I need to do is catch this fish, and he will come to me. To catch the Immortal Spirit Fish, I have to do it myself.

Wang Mu: You go somewhere else. I need to fish now.

Moon God: You brat! Are you kicking me away now that I’m no use to you? No way! I’m worried about this girl...

Wang Mu: ?

Wang Mu: Qian Mo is here for the Immortal Spirit Fish. I have a way to catch this fish, but I must do it as Wang Mu.

Moon God: I don’t care! You can’t just send me away like this!

Wang Mu: Then you can just turn into a pendant and hang on Little Kun.

Moon God: Me, the dignified Moon God, become a pendant for you? You... you... you...

Wang Mu: Either that or leave.

Moon God: ...

A moment later, Wang Mu was seated on the Immortal Cloud Kun, a new Lucky Cat charm hanging from his waist.

"Eh, Brother Wang, why do you have a small cat charm at your waist today? Is that a Magic Artifact?" Gu Yuqing, sitting beside Wang Mu, noticed it immediately and asked curiously.

"Oh, it’s for attracting good fortune," Wang Mu replied offhandedly.

Gu Yuqing smiled faintly. "Such a small item, what use could it have? With your fishing skills, Brother Wang... why would you need such a thing?"

The little cat charm trembled.

"Indeed, it’s useless," Wang Mu patted it. "But if I want to catch a Divine-grade Spirit Fish this time, perhaps this can offer some peace of mind."

Gu Yuqing nodded, touching the charm. It felt pleasant in her hand; not a Magic Artifact, yet it inexplicably gave her a sense of peace.

It must be psychological, Gu Yuqing thought.

Wang Mu focused his senses.

Catching a Divine-grade Spirit Fish without Travel’s assistance will likely be difficult.

Travel: Ruoshui Pond (+)

As expected.

Travel: Ruoshui Pond (Three days later, at the quarter past noon, southeast corner.)

A general location and a specific time. Although there’s no explicit mention of a Divine-grade Spirit Fish, it should be a similar event.

So, Wang Mu waited quietly for three days. When the time came, a quarter past noon, he went to the southeast corner of the Ruoshui Pond and waited.

Gu Yuqing also watched quietly from the side, confident in Brother Wang’s abilities.

Before long, as the time reached a quarter past the hour, the water’s surface rippled.

Wang Mu narrowed his eyes, gently jiggling his fishing rod. A subtle force transmitted up from it.

He felt a jolt.

With my fishing experience, this must be the Divine Fish!

He looked up at the sky. The fish has taken the bait!
