The golden toad's phantom spoke indifferently, but what he said scared Chen Lin.
"One thousand magic coins?"
Even though Chen Lin's mentality is now stable enough, he is still shocked by the price.
This is simply not wanting to give him a chance to choose, it would be better to just punish him directly!
"Yes, it is one thousand magic coins. Please hand it over within ten breaths, otherwise it will be regarded as giving up."
The tone of the golden toad's shadow remained unchanged, but Chen Lin sensed something was wrong.
He didn't believe that the amount of penalty exemption for each angler was so huge, otherwise this option would be meaningless. The other party was deliberately making things difficult for him with the purpose of devouring his luck!
My luck is different from that of ordinary people, which must have aroused the other party's greed. Moreover, I didn't get any reminder from the other party when I first came in, which might be intentional.
He glanced at the old man and found that his expression was very strange. He seemed to want to say something, but he held back and didn't say it.
Chen Lin did not dare to delay. He immediately took out the amulet that Niu Niu gave him from his robe, and then used the power of his soul to activate it, releasing the aura on it.
Then he looked at the golden toad nervously.
Although he got Niu Niu's assurance, the other party was obviously eyeing his luck, and he didn't know if the amulet would still be useful.
To be on the safe side, he secretly prepared to use the Soul-Destroying Finger.
At this time, his feeling of rejection had reached the point of leaving, and he was completely dependent on the Immortal Stone for protection. As long as he could repel the opponent and create some time, he could put away the Immortal Stone and teleport out directly.
As for the consequences of telling it, I don't care.
But immediately Chen Lin felt relieved.
The moment he took out the amulet, the golden toad seemed to have seen something incredible. Its huge shadow trembled and almost collapsed.
Jin Chan looked around nervously, then nodded to Chen Lin in a flattering manner and said, "It was just a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue. You just need to give me a magic coin."
Then he immediately explained: "The rules cannot be changed. One magic coin must be given. There is nothing Xiaochan can do about it."
Little Toad...
Chen Lin was surprised at the complete change in the other party's attitude, and was even more shocked by Niu Niu's deterrent power.
"Um."
In order to maintain the mystery, he did not speak, but just nodded expressionlessly and threw out a magic coin.
The golden toad swallowed the magic coin in one gulp and turned to stand in front of the old man.
"Old man, pay the fishing fee. The price has increased now. Two magic coins per time!"
The old man was stunned, and then a terrifying aura emanated from him, and his face was full of anger.
However, the phantom of the golden toad seemed not to feel anything and just stared at the other party silently.
Just when Chen Lin thought there would be a big fight, the old man's aura receded like the tide, and he threw out two magic coins and said, "Take the money and get out of here quickly. Don't disturb me while I'm fishing!"
The golden toad didn't say anything about the old man's unreasonableness. It swallowed the two magic coins and disappeared on the lake.
Chen Lin looked at the old man deeply, then walked away with his fishing rod.
He walked a distance to the left first, but before he had gone far, an invisible barrier appeared, probably at the same level as the woods.
The right side is the old man's side. He didn't go there, but the boundary should also be level with the woods.
Therefore, the range of his guide was limited to the lake that was aligned with the woods. As for how deep he could go into the lake, it was impossible for him to test it.
After finding a spot near the shore, Chen Lin cast the fishing rod again.
Soon the wooden boat came over again to collect his fishing fees. Since he had not caught anything before, he not only had to accept the punishment, but also had to start all over again.
But this time Jin Chan was very polite. Not only was he no longer as cold as before, he even saluted him.
Chen Lin didn't say anything more and immediately threw the magic coin to the other party.
This golden toad can transform into a phantom and is not an ordinary creature. Even the old man doesn't dare to act rashly. Although he has Niu Niu's amulet, he still has to keep a low profile.
What surprised Chen Lin was that his luck suddenly improved this time. As soon as the wooden boat left, he caught a silver fish that was more than one foot long.
Then things got out of control.
In less than an incense stick of time, he caught more than ten fish. There were so many fish as soon as he cast the fishing rod that he was almost overwhelmed.
"My friend, you are lucky today!"
When Chen Lin caught another big fish that was two feet long, the old man's voice suddenly sounded beside him.
He didn't even know when the other party ran to his side.
"Haha, it's barely ok. What, are you leaving, old man?"
Chen Lin replied casually.
He didn't want to have more contact with the other party.
If meeting the other person when he first came in was a coincidence, but this time he had been waiting for more than half a year, and deliberately waited until there was no one around before coming here, but the other person 'happened' to appear, it was inevitable that he would think too much.
But he didn't want to pay attention to the other person, and the other person didn't mean to leave.
The old man glanced at Chen Lin's chest and said with a puzzled look, "That toad seems to be quite afraid of the amulet on you. Could it be a token of some great man?"
Chen Lin knew that the other party took the initiative to chat up just for this reason, and he didn't want to pay attention, but after thinking about it, he still replied vaguely: "It's just a small item, nothing special."
Even if you don't want to pay attention to such a strong person, there is no need to offend him.
Perhaps sensing Chen Lin's attitude, the old man did not continue to ask about the amulet.
Changing the topic, he said, "Since you have used the magic stone, I guess it is not from this demon world. I wonder which world it came from?"
This question startled Chen Lin, and he looked at the other person with a scrutinizing gaze.
Since you asked this question, it means that the other party is not a creature from the demon world, but an outsider like him!
This aroused his strong interest.
"Isn't the old man from this world?"
Chen Lin did not answer the other party first, but asked a question in return.
The old man did not hide anything and nodded, "Yes, I am from the Mountain and Sea Realm. You are not from the same realm as me, right?"
Mountain and sea world
Chen Lin had never heard of this interface.
Of course, what he knew about the interface was limited, all of which he had seen in ancient books, and he had no way of knowing whether what the other party said was true or false.
After a moment of silence, he said, "To be honest, I don't know what my realm is called, because it doesn't have a name at all, but it is definitely not the Mountain and Sea Realm, that's for sure."
Then, Chen Lin asked, "What kind of cultivation system is your interface? What is the environment like? Can you tell me?"
The interface he was in was blocked by alien spirits. If the other party's interface was also a cultivation system, then he could try to sneak over from the demon world, and the problem of alien spirits would be easily solved.
Master Wan Meng has always been keen on exploring the demon world in order to find such a channel.
The Silver Fairy and other Nascent Soul cultivators who had rebelled against the gods actually had such thoughts, but the demon world was too dangerous, so they did not dare to be as bold as Master Wanmeng.
The old man glanced at Chen Lin and said, "Since you and I are both human, we are naturally pursuing the path of immortality. However, when it comes to the cultivation environment, it is the same everywhere. There is no safe place. I guess your interface is the same."
Chen Lin secretly memorized the name of Shanhaijie in his heart. Even if the other party's interface was unstable, it was always better than theirs. If he could really find the node, he could try to go over and have a look.
Now he is in the late stage of Jindan. When Jindan reaches perfection, he will have to choose between becoming a god or rebelling against gods. He will naturally choose the latter, and then he will be a thorn in the eyes of alien spirits. If he can practice in a world without alien spirits, that would be perfect.
With this thought in mind, he asked again.
But the old man did not give him a chance, and suddenly said: "It's almost time, that toad doesn't like me now, so you have to stay out of the spotlight for a while, and we'll see each other again someday if we're lucky enough!"
After saying this, his figure gradually faded and disappeared from Chen Lin's sight.
Chen Lin felt annoyed.
He didn't expect the other party to leave as soon as he said he would, and he still had a lot of questions to ask!
But the person has already left, so there is no point in saying anything. Fortunately, he said he would come over later. I will ask him in detail next time I meet him.
After calming down, Chen Lin continued to concentrate on fishing.
It was then that he suddenly realized that he had not caught any fish for a long time and it seemed that his luck had run out.
Sure enough, half an hour later, he felt the fishing rod tremble. After he pulled it up, he found a colorful shrimp of the same type that he had caught last time.
After putting away the shrimps, Chen Lin stopped fishing.
He had a feeling that if he fished again, he would get nothing and would have to pay a magic coin.
Moreover, the energy of this Immortal Stone was about to be exhausted. If he wanted to continue, he would have to replace it, but his reserve of Immortal Stones was running low.
It just so happens that I caught so many fish today that I can send them to Niu Niu. But the Guardian Hut Village seems to be closed again, so I won’t have the chance to send them after a while.
Thinking of this, he put away his fishing rod, grabbed the fish he had caught, and his figure slowly disappeared from the spot.
After opening his eyes, Chen Lin immediately looked at what was in his hand.
We found that all the fish we brought back were dead because we didn't have a net bag and couldn't keep them in the lake.
He didn't delay, collected the fish and activated the amulet.
However, the projection did not go over as expected, and the previous feeling of being cut off from the connection reappeared. Obviously, something went wrong with Niu Niu again.
Chen Lin shook his head, put the two big fish into a jade box, pasted talismans on it, and kept it for future use.
He simply put away the rest and left the training room.
The fish tastes extremely delicious.
After some tests and confirming that the fish were not poisonous, Chen Lin ate one.
Then he was intoxicated. He had eaten countless delicacies from land and sea, but none of them could compare to the taste of this fish. It was simply unforgettable and wonderful.
I didn't feel any increase in luck though.
Although luck was very important to him, one or two fish would not have much effect, so Chen Lin gave the remaining fish to Qin Lingyu and the others so that they could also have a taste.
Everyone was immediately amazed.
In the following days, Chen Lin would go to Duyun Lake every few days, sometimes to fish, and sometimes just to observe the situation.
As long as you go fishing, you will definitely have a good harvest.
But they were just some fish, nothing special was caught, let alone a fortune treasure chest.
Moreover, the old man never appeared again, so his hope of continuing to gather information was dashed.
Another half a year passed, and Chen Lin finally decided to leave.
Although it is safe to practice here, there is no way to replenish resources and the progress of cultivation is slow.
In addition, he could not cultivate his state of mind. If his state of mind was not perfect, he would not be able to condense his Nascent Soul. This was what he could not tolerate the most.
The fishing activity also came to an end because his magic coins were almost used up, with only the last three left, which he had to save for emergencies.
So, it's time to leave.
