Chapter 858 Principles of Fishing
After finishing the recitation, Zhong Shentong felt a heaviness in his heart, as if there was an extra layer of invisible shackles.
"Hahaha, okay." Ji Shaoli seemed to be relieved at this moment. He instantly put away all the magic weapons protecting his body and didn't seem to be on guard at all.
This made Zhong Shentong even more certain that this oath of membership must have some kind of restrictive power.
“Since Fellow Daoist Zhong has already joined the guild, why not Miss Liuli follow him as well?” Ji Shaoli said with a smile on his face.
Although the words were suggestions, the tone was unacceptable.
Zhong Shentong had no choice but to signal Liuli to do it.
There is no need to transmit the message specifically.
After just listening to Zhong Shentong reciting it once, Liuli had already memorized it all.
He then repeated it in exact detail, word for word.
And after watching the other party complete the oath of membership, he still looked heartless and didn't feel any pressure.
Zhong Shentong couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. A little kid, don't know the mystery of the true immortal."
Seeing that Zhong Shentong was worried, Ji Shaoli said, "Don't worry, Brother Zhong. I have already contacted the headquarters. You are still in charge of the fishing pond."
“Everything remains the same.”
When Zhong Shentong heard this, he was very surprised.
"Also, we will not cover up anything here. After all, only treasures need to be concealed. Why should we specially protect an ordinary small pond? However, we can set up a formation outside this small temple in the mountains to prevent such things from being spied on by outsiders from happening again." Ji Shaoli said slowly.
"If it does leak, we can quickly come to support you."
…
Ji Shaoli's detailed explanation dispelled most of Zhong Shentong's doubts.
"It seems that I have been a bit too cautious. This Federation of All Worlds really lives up to its name." He thought to himself.
With the help of Lin Ling, the protective magic circle outside the small temple was quickly built.
Ji Shaoli was about to take out some magic weapons to give to Zhong Shentong for self-defense.
This made Zhong Shentong, who had not felt cared for for a long time, feel a little embarrassed.
"There's no need for these things. I've caught too many random things over the years."
"If we really encounter a crisis, it will be useless."
He shook his head.
As he said that, he threw a storage ring over.
"Fellow Daoist, take a look inside. Is there anything I misjudged?"
Ji Shaoli's spiritual sense swept across the storage ring space that looked like a garbage dump with things piled all over the floor.
After a moment, he shook his head and said, "Not worth much."
"But..." Ji Shaoli paused slightly.
"Although some items are not of high quality, they may have other added value. After all, most of these are items from other immortal cultivation worlds. As far as I know, some cultivators are very interested in similar items."
Zhong Shentong nodded slightly: "Of course I know this truth. But I was afraid of attracting other people's attention, so I simply gave up."
"But now, you don't have to worry about this." Ji Shaoli put away the storage ring.
"We will have someone to deal with these things. When the time comes, half of the profits will be handed over to the association, and the other half will still be returned to fellow Taoists."
Zhong Shentong had no objection to this assignment, and even sighed: "Having someone to back you up is indeed better than fighting alone."
"The fishing pond is an extremely rare treasure. The Federation will also take strict confidentiality measures. Only occasionally will someone come here to fish, and it won't be very frequent." Ji Shaoli explained future matters to Zhong Shentong.
These measures made him feel more at ease.
After that, Ji Shaoli asked him about his experience in fishing in the starry sky.
"What exactly is this so-called mind-bait?"
"Any idea will do?"
After Zhong Shentong pondered for a while, he explained: "There are no instructions for using the fishing pond. I can only rely on myself to figure out everything."
"Based on my experience over the years, using thoughts as bait generally follows the principle of 'like attracts like'."
"In the fishing pond, there are countless balls of light. Naturally, they also have different attribute classifications."
"A ball of light that is similar to the concentrated thought bait is easier to fish out."
Zhong Shentong took out the Hunyuan Purple Gold Gourd again and said, "For example, this gourd is the one I saw in my visualization. It is also a gourd-shaped killing magic weapon. I was lucky enough to fish it out."
Ji Shaoli was thoughtful after hearing this: "If we regard those light balls as having their own consciousness, doesn't it mean that they will be attracted by the bait of thoughts that are similar to them or that they are interested in?"
Zhong Shentong nodded.
"That being said, it still depends on luck." Zhong Shentong said with a frown.
"The starry sky in this fishing pond is too vast. The range that the mind bait can affect each time is only a small part of it. When the fishing line is lowered, it may just touch the light ball that can be attracted..."
"Difficult, difficult, difficult!" Zhong Shentong said "difficult" three times in a row, expressing his helplessness.
"I think there should be a special method to be used with this fishing pond. But it has disappeared, leaving only this fishing pond in the world." He sighed.
Ji Shaoli also nodded in agreement.
The conversation between the two was completed only through telepathy.
Liuli and Lin Ling, who were standing by, had no idea.
But in this short period of time, the relationship between them has quickly heated up.
They stopped staring at each other and started playing together.
Zhong Shentong was filled with emotion when he saw this scene.
"I see this former ..."
After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Shentong still did not say the word "senior".
"This girl named Lin Ling doesn't seem to be very old?" he asked tentatively.
Ji Shaoli nodded: "He has only been born for a dozen years and has not experienced the world, so he still has the mentality of a child."
These words completely stunned Zhong Shentong.
"More than ten years? In harmony with the Dao?"
"Haha, fellow Daoist, don't be surprised. There are countless peerless geniuses in our federation. People of this level..."
"It's nothing."
Ji Shaoli smiled mysteriously and explained simply.
Zhong Shentong was in shock and had wild thoughts.
Ji Shaoli tried fishing again.
With the mind settled, I came to the endless brilliant starry sky.
"Thoughts are the bait..."
He tried to condense his visual consciousness into bait.
But as expected, it failed.
But this time I was lucky and caught a blue ball of light.
It is unclear what it is used for, it seems to be a fragment of some magic weapon.
After some fruitless research, Ji Shaoli put it away for the time being.
For a period of time after that, he stayed in the small temple, brushing up his proficiency every day.
After becoming more familiar with Master Zhong Shentong and his disciple, and with their guidance, his progress was also rapid.
Half a month later.
Ji Shaoli finally condensed the thought bait for the first time.
