Chapter 1 Hongze East Lake

There are vast reeds in the lake, vast mist, howling autumn wind, and the lake gradually becomes cold. As the sun goes down, the fishermen who make a living by fishing begin to call it a day.

The autumn wind is blowing through the reeds. This is Longhu Bay, which is the jurisdiction of the famous Yulong Sect in the southern realm of immortality. As evening approaches, many fishing boats slowly return to the harbor through the vague light at the port.

However, the fishing market by the lake is gradually becoming lively. Many people like to eat the freshly caught fish, even high-ranking immortal cultivators.

Fishing and breeding are popular here.

When the fishing boats return home, the fishing market becomes lively.

Under the pouring moonlight, a dimly lit market is located on East Lake Island, like a moving picture, vivid and charming.

The fishermen dragged their tired but satisfied bodies back from the lake, with satisfied smiles on their faces. The fully loaded fishing nets shone with silver light, which was the result of their hard work of the day.

The fresh fish shone attractively under the light, attracting businessmen from all walks of life to stop and bargaining.

The air in the market is filled with the smell of fish and the salty smell of sea water, but it becomes even more tempting because of the aroma of various snacks.

The aroma of grilled fish, the deliciousness of fish meat, the crispiness of fried shrimps...these flavors are intertwined together to form a vivid taste picture.

The entire area of ​​Donghu Island is extremely vast. It is just called an island, but in fact it is an inner bay covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square kilometers. There are countless small and large islands dotted in it, and the name of Donghu Island comes from the largest island.

There are many East Lake Islands like this in the entire Longhu Bay, and East Lake Islands are naturally included under the command of Yulong Sect.

The one who controls East Lake Island is the Li family, a second-level foundation-building force under the Yulong Sect!

In this vast land, Yulong Sect, with its powerful strength, brought the entire Longhu Bay under its control and became the overlord of this area.

Compared to the Yulong Sect, the Li family is just a small foundation-building family, but compared to the smaller casual cultivators in the world of immortality, the Li family is undoubtedly a behemoth.

The entire East Lake Island is under the control of the Li family, which relies on the island's spiritual veins to establish a market that handles the entire East Lake Inner Bay, other islands, business in strait ports, and all kinds of fisheries.

There are two piers in the east and west and two piers in the north and south on Donghu Island.

Compared with other forces in Longhu Bay struggling to survive, the Li family is simply lying on the golden mountain counting money. While they have a lot of gains, there are also a lot of risks.

For the sake of the safety of the city on East Lake Island, the Li family spent a great deal of money to bring back a golden elixir true cultivator from Yulong Sect and set up a third-level formation.

He also had to deliver countless benefits to a senior official of Yulong Sect every year, and the feeling of it was hard to describe!

However, these things have nothing to do with Li Dongchen who is wandering around the lake at this time.

Li Dongchen, the second son of Li Honghuang, the head of the Li family, is a real playboy.

He was born with a good skin, a face like a crown jade, and eyes like bright stars, but his behavior is very different from his appearance.

He is idle all day long, not doing his job properly, and wastes his time on eating, drinking, having fun and teasing women from good families.

He is usually indifferent to family affairs and only knows how to spend money. Anyway, if something goes wrong, there is someone higher up to take care of him. His cultivation talent is not as strong as that of his elder brother, so he has developed the ridiculous temperament he has today.

Although Li Dongchen was notorious outside, the head of the family, Li Honghuang, doted on his son, making him even more unscrupulous.

Li Dongchen's cultivation is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. Because he has average talent, he doesn't pay much attention to cultivation, so he just lives a muddle-headed life.

But with this kind of cultivation, all the "high-level" monks on the periphery of East Lake Island, not to mention the guardian of Qi Refining Dzogchen and a group of domestic servants who were following behind him at this time.

It’s enough to turn the entire city upside down!

Of course, he would not do this, after all, this is his own property!

But bullying those unfounded casual cultivators was his daily pleasure, and he never tired of it.

This look does not look like someone from a family that cultivates immortality!

"Boy Fang, it turns out you are also selling fish?"

At this time, as if to attract his attention, the servant who was following Li Dongchen suddenly shouted at a stall, but he was greeting a young man selling fish.

This young man's nose is straight and straight, and his eyes are full of charm, like the stars in the sky. Although he is not the kind of extremely handsome man who makes people fall in love at first sight, he has a very delicate appearance.

"I've met the young master!" A clear and gentle voice sounded, but it was Fang Yun who saw Li Dongchen coming over and immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

"It's you. If you don't work in the fish pond, you still have time to sell fish here. It seems that the casual workers in my Li family are still idle!"

Li Dongchen glanced behind him with disgust, then said with an inexplicable look in his eyes and a chilling chill.

"That's right, that's right. Maybe this kid is just cheating and not working hard!"

"Sir, I think he stole the fish from the fish pond. You must not let him off lightly!"

"Yes, Master, teach him a lesson!"

Many of the losers behind him were also talking in all directions, urging their master to teach Fang Yun a lesson.

Especially a thin man wearing gray clothes with a sinister face. This man's name is He Hong. He has a grudge against Fang Yun, so he naturally hopes that Fang Yun will be dealt with severely by Li Dongchen.

At this time, Fang Yun looked at the people in front of him and the iron-toothed fish placed under him, and his face couldn't help but sink.

But at this time, he obviously would not get angry and attack just because of a few people's casual words of distortion. Let's not talk about whether he can beat them or not. In terms of identity, he is still a temporary worker of the Li family, working in the Li family fish pond and receiving the Li family's salary.

Of course, he couldn't let anyone frame him at will. He still smiled and said to Li Dongchen cautiously: "Sir, the spiritual fish raised in the clan are all red-eyed carp and spirit-gathering crucian carp, but there is no iron-toothed fish. This is what I drew water to build a pond and raised."

"And I have completed all the work I need to do on time and on time. I have never slacked off. It happened that I took a day off today, so I came to the market to sell this iron-toothed fish, not to take a break!"

"Sir, please understand."

Fang Yun was very humble. After all, he was just a small cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining. On the entire Donghu Island, he was just a small shrimp and would be eaten if he was not careful.

He would never be allowed to show off.

"Oh, really? Then I have wronged you?" Li Dongchen asked jokingly.

"Fang Yun dare not, I will work hard and serve the clan tomorrow!" Fang Yun lowered his head to promise.

"Haha, interesting, too interesting! I bought your fish, hurry back!"

Li Dongchen suddenly laughed, but there seemed to be some teasing in his smile, and then he waved his hand, and saw two people behind him stand out together, tall and mighty figures are very amazing, and took away all the more than ten fresh fish left on Fang Yun's stall.

And He Hong, with a very proud expression, stretched out his hand and took out two spiritual stones from his arms, threw them casually, and threw them on the ground.

"Haha, this is for you, no need to change!"

Then, Li Dongchen ignored Fang Yun and left with his men and more than ten iron-toothed fish he bought.

The market price of the iron-toothed fish is five broken spirits per piece, and ten broken spirits are equivalent to one spirit stone, which means that the goods on Fang Yun's stall are worth at least five spirit stones!

"You are too much of a bully. You are a bully who relies on others for power. Sooner or later, you will be in trouble!"

After everyone walked away, Fang Yun murmured a few words in a low voice, and could only shake his head and rush to his residence.

With his third-level Qi training, he was humiliated like this, but he had no way to deal with it. Even He Hong and He Ergou, who relied on others for power, were one level higher than him.

"It's too difficult to cultivate immortals!"

It's so difficult to avenge today's humiliation!

But fortunately, there is still hope!

Thoughts surged in his mind, and Fang Yun recalled the past. He was not a person in this world, but a traveler from outside the domain. A year ago, he was still an ordinary social animal and a part-time novel coder. He went to work during the day and wrote novels at night. He worked hard to pay off his mortgage. It can only be said that he was not very happy.

But one night, after resting, he woke up from a sleep and came to this world, becoming a fisherman with the same name and surname as him!

After the memory merged, he learned that this world was a world of immortal cultivation, where immortals traveled the universe, traveled the sky, and lived forever! Picking stars and moons, burning mountains and boiling seas, are not just legends.

But immortals' magical powers.

The world he was in was Hongze Longhu Bay in the Southern Domain of Immortal Cultivation, the dojo of the Yulong Sect.

Donghu Island was even just a corner of Longhu Bay.

And he was a casual cultivator with only the third level of Qi Refining on Donghu Island, so weak that people couldn't look directly at him.

His father in the previous life was originally an ordinary fisherman, but by chance he got a spiritual connection and entered the world of immortal cultivation. His father discovered that he had spiritual roots when he was young. By chance, Fang Yun also embarked on the path of cultivation. In order to find the great way, the father and son settled on Donghu Island.

The father of the previous life had passed away after an accident, leaving him only some shallow inheritance.

At that time, Fang Yun was young and did not know how to save money or the ways of the world. Although he had the third level of Qi Refining, he was also a casual cultivator without any skills.

The spirit stones were soon squandered by him, and the road to immortality, living in the market, was not easy, and it was difficult to move forward without money.

The previous life only knew the skill of fishing and raising fish, which was a family skill, but being a fisherman was still too difficult and hard for Fang Yun.

The three great hardships in life, rowing a boat, forging iron, and grinding tofu, are all tiring and drudgery.

Fishermen work more, eat less, and earn even less. The port is backed by the fish tyrants supported by the Li family, who exploit and exploit again.

Moreover, without a good boat, it is difficult to go to sea.

So Fang Yun gave up. A year ago, he chose to work directly for the Li family and raise fish for the Li family, that is, fishermen and farmers.

Fortunately, he had some scruples and did not sell himself directly to the Li family as a slave, so he signed a pure work contract and worked as a short-term worker for three years.

For such a job, he could earn ten spirit stones a month, but he had to guarantee that he would hand over at least twenty mature red-eyed carp every month, otherwise he would not only be deducted from his salary, but also be punished, which was very strict.

Under such pressure, Fang Yun worked diligently to raise fish for the Li family. In order to increase his income, he opened a fish pond and raised iron-toothed fish to earn extra income.

Until now!
