Zhou Nan took out a golden jade slip and crushed it, just like he did during the Immortal Ascension Pagoda Competition.
Soon after, rays of golden light flew out of the jade scroll and turned into golden demon characters that were written in the sky.
"The participants of the Dragon Fishing Convention are the 500 cultivators who obtained cave abodes in the Immortal Ascension Pagoda. During the convention, everyone could choose an island, occupy an area of the sea, and bring their own fishing rod to fish for dragons. During the convention, one could fight and snatch other people's islands, but one could not steal other people's dragon souls or kill people. Violators would be stripped of their qualifications to participate in the convention! Confiscate all the dragon souls you've caught! "
"The dragon bait used to fish the dragon is specially made by the secret method of Yuan Palace. One dragon bait costs one million celestial jade and you can buy it from the supply store outside the Dragon Raising Pool. During the process of the meeting, if there isn't enough dragon bait, you can leave the Dragon Raising Pool to buy more. The Dragon Fishing Convention will last for three days! "
The golden characters faded away one by one. After reading the rules, most of the old monsters' expressions remained the same. Only a small number of people who were participating for the first time frowned and sighed at how expensive the dragon bait was.
Who knew how much dragon bait was used to catch a dragon? It was not a small expense.
But it couldn't be helped. The Dragon Bait that wasn't made with the secret technique of Yuan Palace couldn't enter the water that contained the World Breaking Light. Naturally, it couldn't catch a dragon.
"After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the convention will begin. Before that, Fellow Daoists can purchase the Dragon Bait."
As soon as Grand Elder Zhou Nan finished speaking, many old monsters immediately flew to the supply area to buy dragon bait.
In the end, Zhou Nan gave up a spot. He had no intention of competing with the other cultivators.
Most of the five hundred participants this time were at the Void Inquiry Stage and above.
To many Void Tempering cultivators, the dragon bait that cost one million Void Tempering Stage cultivators was extremely expensive, but they had no choice but to buy it.
To Ning Fan, a mere dragon bait naturally did not cost him too much money.
He bought a thousand dragon baits in one go and a bait bag, which he tied around his waist. Finally, he bought a Sealing Pot, which was a tool to contain the Dragon Soul.
Then, without another glance at the crowd, he walked to the outside of the Dragon Raising Pond and waited for the conference to begin.
Li Long also bought one thousand pieces of dragon bait and followed closely behind Ning Fan, waiting outside the Dragon Raising Pond.
Those Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters would either buy one thousand immortal jades or five hundred immortal jades. It was as if they did not care about the immortal jades.
Ordinary Spatial Tempering cultivators would have to plan carefully. Those who had money would buy 100, those who had no money would buy 50, and those who were even poorer would only buy 10 dragon baits. They were purely trying their luck.
The time it took for an incense stick to burn passed quickly. Zhou Nan took out a golden token and waved it at the sky. The Dragon Raising Pond's light immediately dissipated.
"The meeting begins now!" Zhou Nan announced.
In the instant that the formation light dissipated, all the old monsters turned into streaks of light and flew toward the islands in the Dragon Raising Pond.
There were only five hundred islands, and there were naturally good and bad locations.
Those who knew the ropes would naturally choose islands with better locations, and would even fight for some islands.
Those who did not know the ropes would choose a random island to fish for dragons.
Ning Fan was a person who did not know the ways of the world.
But he had Mythdragon with him, and Mythdragon understood.
"Master, that island is not bad. The speed of the current and the strength of the waves are all the favorite resting places of the Dragon Raising Pond."
Mythdragon pointed at one of the islands in the distance. The three Void Refinement Realm experts who were about to fight for that island immediately changed their expressions and said to Mythdragon with a flattering smile.
"We will give this island to Senior. We will not fight for it anymore. Hehe … Hehe …" The three of them smiled embarrassedly and quickly fled to other islands. Of course, they did not dare to offend Mythdragon and Ning Fan.
Ning Fan landed on this island. As for Li Long, he found another island that was extremely far away from Ning Fan's location.
Mythdragon did not want to fish away the demon dragon soul that belonged to Ning Fan.
Many people on the islands were still fighting for the islands. However, it had nothing to do with Ning Fan.
Ning Fan took out the Tai Gong Fishing Rod and put the dragon bait on it. He raised his hand and tossed the rod into the air. Then, he sat cross-legged on the shore of the island, waiting for the demon dragon to take the bait.
On an island ten thousand li * (500m per li) away, He Shixiu also sat cross-legged after casting the rod. He scanned Ning Fan's direction with his spirit sense and his eyes were filled with disdain.
"Bai Mu's luck is below the fourth grade. I'm afraid he can't even catch a Ninth Grade dragon soul. I, on the other hand, am different. I originally have a second grade mortal luck. With the help of this treasure, my luck can approach the first grade! In this place, my luck can be ranked first! "
He Shixiu took out the four-colored luck pearl from before and placed it in his mouth.
All of a sudden, his luck began to change slowly. It was now blue with a hint of purple.
At the moment his luck changed, He Shixiu suddenly felt the surface of the water move.
Without saying anything else, he stood up and immediately pulled the fishing rod, pulling a golden dragon soul that was eight hundred zhang * (3.33m per zhang) out of the water.
Fishing a dragon was different from ordinary fishing. Patience was secondary. The most important thing was to act fast!
The speed at which a dragon bites the bait was not comparable to ordinary fish. If you are slightly slower, you would only be able to catch an empty hook.
What He Shixiu caught was a dragon soul whose qi was comparable to that of a Wild Beast.
As soon as he fished it out, He Shixiu kept the dragon soul in his hand without saying anything. He scanned the dragon soul with his spirit sense and found that it did not have a dragon pearl in its body. Then, he used the Sealing Pot to seal it.
For a moment, the four jade platforms floating in the air and even the sea area of the Dragon Raising Pond resounded with cheers.
On each of the four jade platforms, there was a Dragon Fishing Stele. The participants could see the results of their fishing.
"An Eighth Grade Dragon Soul! Not only is that Old Monster He the first one to catch a dragon soul, but he even caught an Eighth Grade Dragon Soul! "
"* Tut * * Tut * He is indeed an old monster at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm. His luck is so strong that I can only be envious of him."
He Shixiu was also feeling rather proud of himself.
He also did not expect that a demonic dragon would take the bait as soon as his luck improved. It was indeed too fast. Even he himself did not expect it.
When he scanned Ning Fan with his spirit sense and saw that he was still sitting on the shore of the island without showing any signs of catching a dragon soul, he could not help but laugh inwardly.
"Trying to fish a dragon with luck that is below the fourth grade is really asking for humiliation!"
He Shixiu put on the second dragon bait. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he caught a second dragon soul.
It was a Seventh Grade Dragon Soul! Unfortunately, there was no dragon pearl in his body …
At this moment, the battle for the five hundred islands had mostly come to an end.
Each of the old monsters began to fish for dragons. Occasionally, a few of them would catch a dragon soul. Now, He Shixiu was not the only one in the limelight.
"Look! Old Freak He caught another seventh grade dragon soul! "
"Senior Mo Yang Zi caught a Ninth Grade Dragon Soul!"
"What?! How could a mere Void Pierce Stage elder of the Cold Fish Clan catch an Eighth Grade Dragon Soul?! Could it be that his luck is really good? "
"Look, Tan Longzi … No, Senior Li Long caught an Eighth Grade Dragon Soul. Besides, there is actually a Ninth Grade Dragon Pearl in this dragon soul!"
When Li Long caught the first dragon pearl of this meeting, the entire place burst into an uproar.
He Shixiu's expression turned slightly unpleasant.
Li Long was Ning Fan's servant. There was almost no difference between him catching a dragon pearl and Ning Fan catching a dragon pearl.
Therefore, He Shixiu was unwilling to see Li Long attracting attention.
"Hehe. A Ninth Grade Dragon Pearl is nothing. I must catch a First Grade Dragon Pearl!"
He Shixiu calmed himself down and continued fishing.
Gradually, he caught the third, the fourth and the fifth dragon souls. The highest grade of the dragon soul was a Fifth Grade Dragon Soul.
No one on the scene could catch a Fifth Grade Dragon Soul.
Unfortunately, none of the dragon souls that He Shixiu caught had dragon pearls. It was really a pity.
He was a little displeased. However, when he scanned the area with his spirit sense, he realized that Ning Fan still had not caught a single dragon soul. He could not help but feel much better.
"Hehe. It has been so long but Bai Mu still hasn't gotten anything. How pitiful …"
The sixth, the seventh, the eighth …
When he caught the ninth dragon soul, he finally caught the first dragon pearl.
It was a Fourth Grade Dragon Soul which had an Eighth Grade Dragon Pearl in its body!
He Shixiu took out the dragon pearl and kept it in his storage pouch. Then, he smiled proudly.
It was because Ning Fan still had no harvest at all.
"Look! Old Monster He has actually caught a Fourth Grade Dragon Soul and an Eighth Grade Dragon Pearl!"
"Come to think of it, he has already caught nine dragon souls, right? So far, no one has caught more than him among all the participants!"
"That's right. Among the Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters, Senior Li Long is probably ranked second. Even he has only caught three dragon souls and one dragon pearl. As for the other Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters, most of them only managed to catch one dragon soul. Some of them didn't even make any achievements at all … "
For example, Ning Fan.
On the four jade platforms, many people were looking at the first position on the Dragon Fishing Stele in puzzlement.
The five hundred participants on the Dragon Fishing Stele were arranged according to their ranking in the Immortal Ascension Tower. It would not change.
After each participant's name, there would be a record of their results.
Ning Fan's result was blank. So far, he had not caught any dragon soul, let alone a dragon pearl.
Many people were still guessing whether Ning Fan would amaze the world with a single brilliant feat like what he did in the Immortal Ascension Tower.
But now, it seemed like Ning Fan's luck was not enough. He could not even catch a Ninth Grade Dragon Soul.
Time passed by. Gradually, all the Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters except Ning Fan had their harvests.
Even some old monsters at the Origin Returning Realm, Absolute Void Stage and Void Pierce Stage had their harvests too.
However, Ning Fan still did not get anything.
"Could it be that Old Ancestor Bai Mu's luck is really bad?" Qu Huang and Qu Hall asked doubtfully.
"* Hehe * I feel that Old Ancestor Bai Mu isn't a person with bad luck … Perhaps, he will do something amazing soon." The Fox Sovereign smiled with seductive eyes.
"Perhaps. Anyway, I don't believe that the dignified Old Ancestor Bai Mu is a person with bad luck." The Green Sovereign nodded.
The old Fox Sovereign and the old Crimson Sovereign did not express their opinion. Their eyes were filled with a hint of confusion.
"What is this young man doing …?"
Their spirit sense secretly locked onto Ning Fan. In the entire Dragon Fishing Convention, they did not pay attention to anyone else other than Ning Fan.
The two rogue demons noticed that Ning Fan was channeling his magic power into the fishing rod, extending the fishing line to a very deep place …
"Is he trying to catch the Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon …?" The old Yuan Sovereign guessed.
"Senior Bai Mu is trying to catch the Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon …" Tan Zixin looked at the Dragon Fishing Monument quietly as if she could guess Ning Fan's thoughts.
On the isolated island, Ning Fan sat cross-legged on the shore of the island for two hours.
He did not catch any dragon souls because the ordinary dragon souls would be scared away by the dragon suppressing aura of his fishing rod before they could bite the bait.
What he wanted to catch was not ordinary dragons but Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon.
The purpose of this trip was very simple – the Yin Yang Dragon Pearl!
He lengthened the fishing line until it reached the bottom of the Dragon Raising Pond.
Although his spirit sense could not enter that place, Ning Fan could sense some changes in the fishing rod. In just two hours, the Yin and Yang power on the fishing rod had changed five times.
Three times was Yin and two times was Yang.
The Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon approached the hook five times but did not bite it …
Others might not be able to sense the Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon but Ning Fan who possessed the Yin Yang Locket could slightly sense it.
He knew that there were indeed Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon in this Dragon Raising Pond!
However, he did not know why the Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon did not bite the bait, as if they were very disdainful towards the dragon bait …
The dragon souls in the Dragon Raising Pond should have low spiritual intelligence. As long as they see the dragon bait, they would bite the bait.
Ning Fan could not understand why the Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon did not bite the bait.
Was it because his luck was not enough to catch the Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon or was there some other reason …
The spiritual intelligence of the Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon were obviously low. Why didn't they bite the bait when they saw the bait that they wanted?
Could it be that the bait was not attractive enough?
Ning Fan retracted the fishing line and infused a trace of Yin and Yang power into the dragon bait. Then, he cast the fishing line again.
Another two hours passed. The length of the fishing rod transmitted 27 changes in the Yin and Yang power.
12 times was Yin and 15 times was Yang.
The Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon approached the fishing hook for a total of 27 times. They seemed to be greatly tempted by the dragon bait but they just did not bite it.
"It seems like it's not just because of the bait … In order to catch the Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon that no one has caught for millions of years, I probably need some special items …"
Ning Fan retracted the fishing line and closed his eyes. Suddenly, a light flashed in front of his eyes. He seemed to have understood something but he also felt a little confused.
* Chi *
A sound transmitting flying sword suddenly arrived.
When it reached Ning Fan's side, it immediately broke into pieces. Then, a woman's voice entered Ning Fan's ears.
It was the sound transmitting flying sword sent by Tan Zixin. She was telling him about her experience when she caught the Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon.
It was the story of a sword cultivator who was a rogue immortal from 4.3 million years ago.
The Dragon Fishing Convention lasted for three days. On the first day, that person fished a dragon crazily. His result was shocking. He caught more than three hundred dragon souls and 27 dragon balls.
However, he could not catch another dragon on the second day.
On the third day, before the convention ended, that person suddenly caught the legendary Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon, shocking the entire Demon World.
After he had successfully caught the dragon, he put all the dragon souls and dragon balls back. He laughed loudly and cried loudly. Then, he flew away on his flying sword.
Before he left, he only said one sentence.
"I have obtained the Dao. However, this Dao came too late. I don't want it anymore. I should give it up!"
The story that Tan Zixin told was only recorded in a few ancient books. Currently, there were almost no one in the Demon World who knew about it.
The reason why she told this story to Ning Fan was because she wanted to give him some help and help him successfully fish for the dragon.
Ning Fan remained silent for a while. Then, he seemed to have understood something and transmitted his voice to Tan Zixin. "Thank you."
He now knew why he could not catch the Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon.
He knew what he should do now.
"I should learn from that rogue immortal senior and return with a full harvest!"
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with black light. That black light was the color of luck.
Under the black color, there was an extremely pure purple color.
He retracted the fishing line to a suitable depth and waited quietly.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the first dragon soul took the bait!
Before the first ripple appeared on the surface of the water, Ning Fan had already stood up. He pulled the fishing rod and caught a golden dragon that was one thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) long from the surface of the water!
He pointed a finger at the golden dragon. It immediately trembled and turned into a small golden snake that was around one chi long. Then, he caught it in his palm.
The golden dragon breathed out a ray of golden light from its mouth. That ray of golden light turned into a golden pearl that floated in front of Ning Fan.
A Seventh Grade dragon soul and a Ninth Grade dragon ball!
"Bai Mu actually caught a dragon soul! Moreover, this dragon soul is actually a Seventh Grade dragon soul. Moreover, there is a dragon ball inside the dragon soul! "
"Luck! It must be luck! No matter how bad a person's luck is, he or she would encounter great luck once in a while! "
He Shixiu's eyes widened in surprise. His spirit sense was constantly paying attention to Ning Fan's movements.
After a while, he suppressed his astonishment. From his point of view, Ning Fan being able to catch a Seventh Grade dragon soul and a Ninth Grade dragon ball was an accident that could not be replicated. It was impossible for it to happen a second time.
He looked down on Ning Fan but the others did not think so.
When Ning Fan's results on the Dragon Fishing Monument changed, many old monsters were astonished.
"Old Ancestor Bai Mu's luck is really not bad. Even though he spent four hours to catch the first dragon soul, it actually has a dragon ball inside it. It's already considered very rare."
"That's right. How can the luck of a Void Fragmentation Realm old monster be bad?"
Tan Zixin's eyes flashed with a hint of joy. Inwardly, she guessed that her story might have already helped Ning Fan.
Is Ning Fan going to learn from that rogue immortal senior and catch countless dragons on the first day and shock everyone …?
After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Ning Fan caught the second dragon soul!
It was a Sixth Grade dragon soul with an Eighth Grade dragon ball inside it!
"Impossible! How can such a coincidence happen twice in a row?! "He Shixiu's expression changed.
Ning Fan had actually caught two dragon souls in a row and both of them had a dragon ball. Such a rare occurrence really happened again.
"It's impossible for him to catch a third dragon soul …" Just as He Shixiu's voice fell, Ning Fan caught the third dragon soul.
This dragon soul did not have a dragon ball inside it. However, it was a Second Grade dragon soul!
How could a person with poor luck catch a Second Grade dragon soul?!
He Shixiu gritted his teeth. He knew that he had underestimated Ning Fan's luck.
The four-colored Luck Pearl did not seem to be able to accurately measure Ning Fan's luck …
In the past, the rogue immortal sword cultivator who caught the Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon had a purple luck.
Ning Fan's current luck was also purple. It was the first grade mortal luck.
Even though He Shixiu's luck was just a tiny bit away from the first grade, the difference between him and Ning Fan was like the difference between heaven and earth!
The difference between his and Ning Fan's luck was not just a tiny bit!
In the past, the rogue immortal sword cultivator caught three thousand dragon souls within twenty-four hours and shocked the entire Demon World.
Ning Fan's luck was not any weaker than that person. His result in fishing dragons might not necessarily be weaker than that person!
The fourth, the fifth, the sixth …
The fourteenth, the fifteenth, the sixteenth …
The fortieth, the fiftieth, the sixtieth …
In just two hours, Ning Fan had already caught sixty-eight dragon souls and nine dragon balls!
The highest dragon soul was the First Grade and there were only three of them.
The highest dragon ball was the Third Grade and there was only one Third Grade dragon ball.
At this moment, Ning Fan's result on the Dragon Fishing Ranking was undoubtedly the first.
He Shixiu's expression was extremely gloomy while the others were still in shock!
The Dragon Fishing Meeting had already gone on for six hours.
Other than Ning Fan, the person with the best result in the past six hours was He Shixiu. He only managed to catch 12 dragon souls and the dragon pearl was still the same.
Ning Fan's result had already surpassed He Shixiu's by a few times in just two hours!
After the first day, Ning Fan had caught a total of 581 dragon souls and 66 dragon balls.
Among them, there were 26 First Grade dragon souls and 3 First Grade dragon balls!
Ning Fan alone seemed to have caught all the dragon souls in the entire Dragon Raising Pond.
The total number of dragon souls caught by the others at the scene was less than 400 and there were only 17 dragon balls. Moreover, the highest grade dragon ball among them was only at the Fourth Grade.
"Impossible! Even if this Bai Mu's luck isn't bad, it's impossible for him to surpass me by so much! With the help of the Luck Pearl, my luck is almost at the first grade purple luck. Even so, I only caught 42 dragon souls and 3 dragon balls in a day … "
"His result is so much better than mine. Could it be that he has purple luck?!"
He Shixiu's face turned pale.
Other than those with purple luck, who else could be so heaven-defying to catch so many dragon souls?!
From He Shixiu's point of view, even if the Dragon Raising Pond was not emptied by Ning Fan alone, there should not be many dragon souls left.
In the next two days, it would be difficult for him to catch too many dragon souls.
"That detestable Bai Mu! Forget it. I didn't come here to catch ordinary dragon souls … My target is the Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon … "
He Shixiu's face darkened. He took out a pill that contained a trace of Yin and Yang power, ground it into powder and smeared it on the dragon bait.
In the next two days, I'll start fishing the Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon.
Of course, if there are ordinary dragon souls that take the bait, He Shixiu would not reject them.
"Cough cough cough … According to what I know, the rogue immortal who caught the Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon 4.3 million years ago also did the same thing as Bai Mu, right? Within a day, he almost emptied the Dragon Raising Pond and took the lead. "The old Chi Sovereign said with a solemn expression.
"Hehe. I wonder if this Bai Mu can be like that rogue immortal and catch the Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon, shocking the Demon World once again." The old Fox Sovereign's laughter was a little hoarse but his eyes were filled with anticipation.
The old Yuan Sovereign did not say anything but his eyes were filled with anticipation.
If Ning Fan could really fish out the Yin Yang Dragon Pearl, it would help him completely recover his demon soul. That would naturally be the best outcome.
If he can't … I can't force it either.
On the second day, Ning Fan held the fishing rod but did not catch another dragon soul.
It was not that there were no dragon souls that took the bait. There were indeed some dragon souls that took the bait but he just let them eat the dragon bait instead of catching any dragons.
After the dragon souls ate the bait, he would refill the bait again and cast the rod again to continue fishing.
Compared to the first day, the number of dragon souls that took the bait was already pitiful.
Yesterday, almost two-thirds of the dragon souls in the Dragon Raising Pond had been fished away.
His goal today was not to catch any dragon souls in the first place.
Not being able to catch them was the right thing to do …
In his heart, a wisp of extremely mysterious comprehension gradually rose.
Traces of the qi of the Great Dao were emitted from his body.
The qi was very obscure. Only three rogue demons could sense it in this place!
"Bai Mu, what are you doing?!" The old Chi Sovereign and the old Fox Sovereign wore puzzled expressions. (To be continued.)
