Chapter 1162: Unbelievable Luck

A talent.

A damn talent indeed!

Even though he saw that both sect leaders had empty rods, he still insisted on fishing, clearly trying to scam Sect Leader Luo, spending someone else's million immortal crystals for his own amusement.

Having such a guest is truly bad luck.

Elder Liu was left speechless by Yi Feng's words, feeling a sense of enlightenment.

After a moment of contemplation.

He still gave Luo Pengfei a respectful bow, offering him a way out.

"Sect Leader Luo, what do you think about this matter..."

Luo Pengfei felt a pang of guilt when asked.

This million immortal crystals were definitely going down the drain.

But since things had come to this.

He was destined to be mocked by everyone in the future, but he absolutely couldn't back down now. He had to flatter Yi Feng to the end and tough it out!

Ever since he decided to visit Yi Feng, Luo Pengfei had thought it through.

As long as he could befriend this man, even if it was just to rely on the prestige of a fifth-grade expert, his sect would surely gain immense influence. Any cost would be worth it.

Damn it.

Consider this million as an offering to the island master!

As for face.

That's something intangible, who cares about it?

Ignoring the mocking glances from around the lake, Luo Pengfei forced a smile through gritted teeth.

"Fish, of course we'll fish!"

Elder Liu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Alright, since it's Sect Leader Luo's wish, this old man won't say more."

His brief words were filled with helplessness.

The remaining onlookers by the lake were all from top-tier forces on the island.

These people naturally understood that Luo Pengfei was determined to suck up to Yi Feng, willing to waste a million immortal crystals just to please him, even at the cost of his dignity. Even Elder Liu couldn't bear to watch.

The outcome was already decided.

The onlookers, wary of the two men's power, didn't dare to comment openly, but they all crossed their arms and watched coldly, various expressions flickering across their faces.

Some looked disdainful, some had eyes full of scorn, while others shook their heads and sighed, all acting like upright gentlemen with unyielding principles.

With everyone predicting failure, the embarrassment was imminent.

Xu Baichuan, having weathered countless storms, could still remain as steady as an old dog. But Luo Pengfei, being the main figure, had already lost interest in fishing, standing stiffly by the shore with his fishing rod.

Seeing this.

Yi Feng, who had already seen the fishing demonstration, immediately picked up his rod and walked over.

"Don't worry."

"I know a thing or two about fishing."

Luo Pengfei forced a smile.

"Yes, with Mr. Yi taking action, there will surely be a catch."

Though he said this, it was merely out of politeness.

He no longer held any hope, only wishing to please this man and get through the long hour of fishing as quickly as possible, to end this humiliating scene.

The strained smile on Luo Pengfei's face contrasted sharply with Yi Feng's relaxed demeanor.

Elder Liu couldn't bear to watch any longer.

With a light wave of his right hand, a golden glow gathered into an hourglass, and the golden sand began to flow!

"Begin."

After these words, Elder Liu lowered his gaze and waited quietly by the shore.

This was his duty.

As for the boastful Yi Feng, he was just a money-wasting fool, not worth his attention.

The other onlookers also wore faint smiles.

As the sound of the rod casting echoed.

Yi Feng stood still after casting his line, the movements imprinted in his mind as natural as breathing, flowing seamlessly.

Seeing this stance.

Xu and Luo, standing beside him, were suddenly stunned.

They had fished countless times over thousands of years and knew many famous anglers, but they had never seen such a smooth and elegant casting motion.

Luo Pengfei couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"It's as beautiful as a painting."

Though it sounded like flattery, none of the onlookers could refute it.

After the cast.

All the major figures turned their attention, feeling that there might be something to this...

The onlookers didn't understand but sensed something extraordinary.

Elder Liu, however, saw more in it.

The casting motion just now, whether in strength or arc, was flawless, beyond what one could imagine.

Having guarded Snow Lake for thousands of years.

He considered himself a master of fishing, but even he felt inferior to this cast.

This cast wasn't just as beautiful as a painting.

It was the painting itself!

A rookie, starting with such perfection.

How was this possible?

It must be a coincidence, right?

With a look of doubt, Elder Liu quietly watched, replaying the cast in his mind.

But after just a few glances.

His eyes widened in shock.

The previously still lake surface began to ripple, the fishing line started to sink, and the rod bent slightly.

It looked like a fish had bitten.

No way?

His eyes filled with even more doubt, and the entire crowd began to watch nervously.

The two sect leaders by the shore were so shocked they froze, not even noticing their own rods falling into the lake!

Before anyone could make a sound, Yi Feng already lifted his rod.

"Splash!"

A long, white fish leaped out of the water, drawing a beautiful arc in the air above the icy lake, water droplets scattering like the most beautiful white rainbow in the world.

Instantly!

The entire lakeside erupted!

"Holy crap!"

"A Dao Transformation Sturgeon?!"

"Am I seeing things? He actually caught one!"

"First cast and he got it, this has never happened in thousands of years!"

"This, this is divine!"

Watching the Dao Transformation Sturgeon emerge, Luo and Xu were stunned!

"What are you standing around for? Get a fish basket."

Only when Yi Feng calmly reminded them did Xu Baichuan snap out of it, rushing towards Elder Liu!

Luo Pengfei also came to his senses, his face overflowing with joy.

As a sect leader, he was so excited he waded into the lake, ignoring the icy water, and personally caught the Dao Transformation Sturgeon with both hands.

Just holding it, his joy knew no bounds!

He lifted it high above his head, laughing heartily!

"Sir, sir!"

"It's a Dao Transformation Sturgeon, we got it, we got it, hahaha!!!"

Even with his clothes soaked, Luo Pengfei didn't care, carefully holding the precious fish, happy as a child.

His joyful expression was like a hero returning in triumph!

Looking at the seven-inch-long fish with shimmering white scales under the brilliant sunlight.

The onlookers surged forward, their eyes filled with awe.

Elder Liu was also stunned.

Who would have thought.

A rookie, on his first cast, caught a Dao Transformation Sturgeon that hadn't been seen in hundreds of years?

Even more exaggerated, it wasn't even the fishing season!

Maybe this is the beginner's luck?

This luck is truly heaven-defying...

As the crowd gathered, the air rippled with their excitement, and even those who had left earlier reappeared, their eyes filled with shock!

In just a few moments.

The previously quiet fishing spot was now surrounded by dozens of prominent figures from the island, far more lively than before, with exclamations rising and falling.

Looking at the bustling scene.

Elder Liu slowly lowered his left hand behind his back, his face full of disbelief.

Only when Xu Baichuan excitedly approached.

"Elder Liu, please lend us some fishing gear, we came in a hurry!"

Did Elder Liu snap out of it.

He quickly took out a foot-long crystal tank and handed it over respectfully.

Watching Xu Baichuan's excited retreating figure.

He felt a pang of envy.

Hearing the awe-struck discussions around him, a hint of jealousy and panic surfaced in his eyes.

Luck.

This is just luck.

Even if the island master finds out later.

With such luck and three million immortal crystals, trading for a Dao Transformation Sturgeon could still be somewhat justified, and he wouldn't be suspected of any wrongdoing.

Such luck surely wouldn't happen again.

Catching one is already heaven-defying!

Quickly seeing through the pros and cons, Elder Liu's expression slightly eased.

Having guarded Snow Lake for thousands of years.

He had seen it all.

Losing one Dao Transformation Sturgeon by accident was just a minor issue.

This is what having a broad perspective means.

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, and Elder Liu confidently stroked his beard, steadying his mind.

Just then.

The lakeside crowd erupted again, exclamations rising like a tide!

"He got another one?!"

"Another Dao Transformation Sturgeon?!"

The exclamations were even more fervent than before, the island's major figures acting like common cultivators, completely disregarding their status and shouting in excitement!

Another one?

Impossible!

Elder Liu's hand trembled in shock, and he quickly stepped forward to look.

Through the dense crowd.

He saw Luo Pengfei stepping ashore, holding another Dao Transformation Sturgeon high above his head, this one over a foot long, twice the size of the previous one!

At this sight.

Elder Liu was also terrified, exclaiming involuntarily.

"Holy crap..."
