There are many kinds of fish in the fishpond of Hongshan Bay.
In the fish pond, there are not only red-blooded fish that enhance their own blood energy, but also some special fish that contain water properties, which can be used to refine pills with water attributes.
Hongshan Shuiwan Fish Pond is also a place where the Qingfeng Gang often does missions. However, this place is located in the Five Rings Mountains, 25 miles outside the county town of Xiagu.
The Five Rings Mountains consist of five large mountains and several smaller mountains connected together. The five large mountains surround the smaller mountains, forming a huge, low-lying pit. The streams flowing from the deep mountains eventually converge in this huge pit, thus forming a natural, enormous fishpond.
This place is occupied by the Qingfeng Gang and is one of their territories.
In the past, many martial artists from Xiagu County came to Hongshan Shuiwan Fish Pond to hunt and kill a lot of strange fish. After the Qingfeng Gang came to Xiagu County, they occupied this place and made it one of the Qingfeng Gang's territories.
From then on, martial artists from Canyon County dared not come here to hunt, and it became the exclusive territory of the Green Peak Gang.
Lin Xiaofei's task this time is to hunt a strange beast called the Water Frost Fish with a few others. This fish-beast is only the size of a palm at most, and its numbers are very small, making it difficult to catch.
The flesh and blood of the Water-Cold Fish contain a special water-cold attribute, which can be used as one of the auxiliary medicinal materials for refining elixirs.
If you can hunt more Water Frost Fish, you will receive a lot of contribution points within the guild.
After leaving the Internal Affairs Hall, Lin Xiaofei rode one of the gang's black horses out of the city and quickly headed towards the Hongshan Water Bay Fish Pond.
After running along the mountain road for half an hour, he soon entered the Five Rings Mountains and saw five large mountains covered with red leaf forests in the distance.
At this moment, he was walking among five towering mountains. Looking out, he could see a huge pool of water at the center of the five mountains, at their foot.
As he approached, he arrived at the entrance of the pool. He saw rows of wooden planks, or fences, stuck in the ground beside the grass at the edge of the pool, enclosing the entire huge fishpond.
At the edge of the pool, every two hundred meters or so, some menial disciples would throw fish food into the pool, while some outer disciples would catch fish and beasts by the water.
Near the fishpond in Hongshan Water Bay, there was an inner disciple with a sword at his waist, pacing back and forth, observing the surroundings as if he were on patrol.
Lin Xiaofei rode his horse quickly closer, soon attracting the attention of the inner disciple. A slightly chubby young man blocked the road and shouted loudly:
"Senior brother, you've come to Shuiwan Fish Pond to catch and kill water fleas, haven't you?"
Lin Xiaofei quickly stopped his horse, dismounted, and said with a smile:
"My name is Lin Xiaofei, and I'm here on a mission. But how did you know I was here to hunt Water Frost Fish?"
"Haha, because I'm also here to hunt Water Frost Fish, and there's only one small team doing this task."
If I'm not mistaken, you must be here to replace the one who died in our team.
The slightly chubby young man laughed and quickly said...
He sized up Lin Xiaofei and saw that Lin Xiaofei had a handsome face and looked much younger than him, obviously a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. He was surprised that Lin Xiaofei was an inner disciple.
You have to understand, he worked hard to cultivate to the mid-stage of the ordinary realm before becoming an ordinary inner disciple. Now, he can do missions with a few other inner disciples.
The reason he lingered near the fishpond was because he was following the advice of several other inner disciples, waiting for the sect to send them a new partner so they could do missions together.
Then, he said enthusiastically:
"I am Ma Sandao, and I extend my greetings to Brother Lin. I've only been here a few days myself."
"Oh, it's the Three-Knife Brothers. Hello."
You just mentioned replacing a teammate who died. How did that person die?
Lin Xiaofei said.
"You don't even know this? Aren't we supposed to be hunting Water Frost Fish?"
Although this Water Frost Fish was small, it possessed the strength of an ordinary late-stage martial artist. Its deceased companion entered the pool to hunt the Water Frost Fish, but was accidentally struck in the throat and died.
Ma Sandao smiled and said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei nodded and said,
Where are the rest of our team?
"They are currently at their mission location in the small hill ahead, which is the Red Mountain Compound."
Now that you're here, you should first go to the mission location and greet Manager Li Fengyun.
All of us disciples who come here to hunt fish and beasts must register here; otherwise, we cannot hunt fish and beasts here.
Also, once we hunt a Water Frost Fish, we can turn in the quest here, since Steward Li is in charge of everything around the Red Mountain Water Bay Fish Pond.
Xu Chen, the head steward, rarely came to Hongshan Shuiwan Fish Pond and mostly stayed in the county. Li Fengyun, the junior steward, often handled matters in the Hongshan compound.
I don't have anything else to do right now, so how about I take Brother Lin to see the junior manager, Li Fengyun? What do you think?
"Brother Lin will be leaving soon; you just need to let Steward Li Fengyun know."
As he spoke, Ma Sandao led the way, talking incessantly.
Lin Xiaofei led the horse by the reins, walking and listening, nodding occasionally.
Soon, Lin Xiaofei followed Ma Sandao into a courtyard that resembled a small mountain villa. They first tied up the horses before walking into the courtyard.
The entire courtyard was built of wood, and the ground was paved with stones about one meter thick, covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters.
Upon entering, one sees some servants slaughtering and killing captured red-blooded fish, green-tree fish, and other exotic beasts.
"Manager Li, a new guy has arrived to do a mission. His name is Lin Xiaofei. He's also here to hunt the Water Frost Fish Beast. Please register his name, Manager Li."
Ma Sandao quickly replied with a smile.
"Inner disciple Lin Xiaofei greets Steward Li."
Lin Xiaofei bowed slightly and said with a smile.
"knew."
Li Fengyun said something, paused, and then said:
By the way, you inner disciples who hunt Water Frost Fish must hand over at least one Water Frost Fish every day. I don't need to remind you all the time.
Also, the task you're doing is already quite easy, can't you spend more time looking for the Water Frost Fish?
If you can hand in three Water Frost Fish every day, each of you can receive fifty taels of silver from me daily, and I will also give you ten extra contribution points each day.
"Thank you for the reminder, Manager Li."
Lin Xiaofei and Ma Sandao thanked him at the same time.
"Manager Li, the 10,000 catties of ordinary fish meat that we need to transport for the inner and outer disciples is ready."
Suddenly, a middle-aged man dressed as an outer disciple walked in from outside the door and spoke directly.
"I understand. Have Wang Erniu come over here."
As Li Fengyun spoke, he then addressed Lin Xiaofei and Ma Sandao:
The Water Frost Fish is one of the important medicinal materials needed by the guild for alchemy. If you do your tasks well, you will be rewarded.
Okay, that's all I have to say. You may all leave.
