Of course, the young man's name wasn't Xiao Ke, but Pu Ke!
Lu Ye didn't know what this person's parents were thinking to give him such a name. Or maybe he thought it was interesting and changed his name later. He didn't need to verify it.
After reporting his name, he and Pu Ke finally got to know each other.
Of course, he still used the pseudonym Li Taibai. The people in the Wanxiang Galaxy were complicated and came from all kinds of backgrounds. He didn't dare to use the name Lu Ye from the Nine Heavens Realm. If someone asked about his background, he would definitely say Wushuang Continent.
In Tang Jun's mind, he was Wushuang Li Taibai.
After waiting for a while, a stream of light flew in from the side and landed not far away, revealing a petite figure.
It was a woman with wheat-colored skin and a good figure. However, he couldn't see her face clearly because she was wearing a veil. The veil was obviously an extraordinary spiritual treasure that could block divine sense.
She didn't wear much, so her calves, stomach, and even half of her arms were exposed. What caught Lu Ye's attention was the strange and complicated patterns on the woman's exposed skin.
Ghost Clan!
Lu Ye recognized the woman's origin at a glance. The strange and complicated patterns weren't acquired, but the manifestation of the Ghost Clan's bloodline.
"You want to buy?" The Ghost Clan woman looked at Lu Ye and asked.
Lu Ye immediately understood that this was the person Pu Ke had contacted to sell fishing gear. He didn't expect it to be a Ghost, and a woman at that!
Although there were quite a few people fishing here, it was rare to see a woman. Among the hundreds of people, there were less than 20 of them.
What was rare was that Pu Ke's gaze was actually focused on this woman. One had to know that all the female cultivators who passed by were followed by his gaze, especially those with good figures. He was especially focused on them.
"That's me." Lu Ye nodded.
"Have you agreed on the price? I won't lower the price! "The Ghost Clan woman looked at Pu Ke again.
Pu Ke smiled. "Don't worry, I'll do as you say. Three thousand spiritual jades."
The Ghost Clan woman took a deep breath and stretched out her hand to Lu Ye. "Pay up!"
Lu Ye didn't spoil her and said indifferently, "Look at the goods first!"
The ghost woman tilted her head and took out a storage ring, tossing it to Lu Ye, "Everything is inside, check it yourself."
Lu Ye inspected the goods for a moment and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with them. Only then did he hand over the storage ring that he had prepared in advance.
After the Ghost Clan woman finished her investigation, she let out a long sigh of relief and cursed, "Damn it, I finally sold it. This thing is really my heart disease!" As she spoke, she glared hatefully at Pu Ke. "This old lady must have had a hole in her head at that time. I was deceived by your flowery words!"
Parker was speechless. "I advise you not to be impulsive. You were the one who saw the quick money and insisted on joining. Now you're blaming me. It's unreasonable!"
"Anyway, it's all your fault. If you didn't catch Bai Ling back then, I wouldn't have stepped into the pit!" As he spoke, he looked over at Lu Ye, and his eyes curved into crescents. Patting Lu Ye on the shoulder, he said, "From now on, you're a friend of mine. If you want to kill someone, send me a message, and I'll give you a twenty percent discount!"
'A friend of mine just like that?'
However, Lu Ye was concerned about something else. "What's your name, Fellow Daoist?"
"Ghost! Why? Have you heard of my name? "
"No, no! This is the first time I've heard of it. It's a novelty. "
Lu Ye had never heard of Ghost, but he knew You Ping …
They were both ghosts, and they were both women. Lu Ye guessed that these two were related. Although the universe was vast, it wasn't very big.
"Do you have any musical notes? Come here." Ghost was very friendly and extended her small hand to Lu Ye.
Lu Ye didn't want to give it to her, but he couldn't refuse, so he could only take out his own musical note. Ghost took it, nimbly imprinted her own mark on it, and tossed it back to Lu Ye. "Remember, twenty percent off!"
As she said that, she turned and left in a carefree manner.
After Ghost left, Lu Ye began to take out his fishing equipment. Then, under Pu Ke's guidance, he tied a set of fishing lines to the fishing rod and fastened the hook.
Pu Ke also gave him two spirit pills as bait. Lu Ye thanked him and took them. After hanging the bait on the hook, he was ready to fish.
Looking around to find a suitable place, Pu Ke said, "If you don't mind, let's do it here. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me at any time."
Lu Ye thanked him and cast the bait about ten feet away from him.
Although it was his first time and the process was a little rough, he had observed for a long time before, so the process was not wrong. He also knew that he should focus on sensing the movement of the fishing line at this moment.
Although no one on Fishing Island had any harvest this day, in fact, the frequency of fish eating the bait was still very high. From time to time, someone would lift the rod and retract the line. Some people even tried to fish, but for some reason, they always failed.
Lu Ye's bait had only been in the water for less than half an hour when he felt movement on the fishing line. Learning from the others, he raised the rod slightly and felt the line tighten. When the bait came out of the water, he saw that the spirit pill hanging on the hook was missing a corner. Obviously, it had been bitten by a fish.
"You have to rehook it. Although Ghost Spirits have no intelligence, they are still very sensitive to danger. If the hook is exposed, they will never eat the bait." Pu Ke carefully instructed from the side.
Lu Ye did the same and cast the bait again.
After a few hours, Lu Ye retracted the rod for the last time. Looking at the empty hook with a helpless expression, he looked at it helplessly.
When he first saw it, he realized that fishing here was extremely difficult, but when he really started, he found that the difficulty was not ordinary.
In the past few hours, he also had the experience of catching fish twice. However, the first time, his action of retracting the rod was a little too big. As a result, the fishing line broke and the fish escaped.
The second time, he learned his lesson. The fishing line did not break, but in the process of fighting a battle of wits and courage with Ghost Spirits, it still escaped the hook.
After a few hours, he had used up two bait pills, a set of fishing line, and a hook … It was a heavy loss.
"Don't worry, try more and you will succeed." Pu Ke comforted him from the side. Seeing Lu Ye put away all the fishing equipment into his storage ring, he asked in surprise, "You're giving up already?"
Lu Ye shook his head, "There's no more bait. Go back and buy some. Where should I buy some?" He couldn't keep using other people's bait. Although Lu Ye didn't know how many spirit jades a special bait pill cost, it couldn't be cheap. Pu Ke had already given him two pills, so he couldn't keep using other people's bait.
They were neither relatives nor friends, and Pu Ke had already helped him a lot.
Calculating the time, Lu Ye should go to the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce to retrieve his Mountain Pan Saber.
"The Vientiane Chamber of Commerce sells it."
Lu Ye nodded, said goodbye to Pu Ke, and rushed out of the Fishing Island.
Two days later, Lu Ye returned to the Vientiane Island and went to the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce with ease.
He had already sent a message to Cao Xiang before he came. When Lu Ye arrived, he went straight to the private room from before.
Cao Xiang was already waiting. When he saw Lu Ye, he bowed first and pointed to the things on the table, "Fellow Daoist Li, the saber is here. Please inspect it!"
Lu Ye took the Mountain Pan Saber out of its sheath and poured spiritual energy into it. After a while, he nodded slightly, "Yes."
The cracks on the saber had disappeared, and there were no hidden injuries on the blade. The craftsmanship of the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce's refiners was quite good.
"If there are no mistakes, please return the jade slip you took last time."
Lu Ye had forgotten about this. He quickly took out the jade slip and handed it over.
Cao Xiang checked it and confirmed that there were no mistakes. He pointed to the jade box on the table and said, "These are the bait pills you need. There are twenty pills in a box."
"What's the price?" Lu Ye asked.
"One bait pill is worth a hundred spirit jades!"
Even though Lu Ye was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be surprised. No wonder there was such a rumor in the fishing circle. Fishing required a lot more spirit jades than he thought!
Based on the hours he spent fishing just now, he had already used up 200 jade jades.
If a person fished for a day, he would use up one bait pill every six hours. That meant he would need four bait pills, which was worth four hundred spirit jades!
This didn't include the loss of fishing lines and hooks. It was only a day's worth of spirit jades.
If there was a harvest during the day, he could still make a lot of money. However, if there was no harvest for a long time, no one would be able to endure it. That ghost looked like it had gone bankrupt from fishing. It was probably because it had bought a lot of fishing lines and bait pills.
Twenty bait pills were equivalent to two thousand spirit jades, which was equivalent to the price of a spirit treasure.
He had accidentally caught a white spirit before and sold it for two thousand six hundred spirit jades. If he threw in twenty bait pills, he might not be able to catch one if he was unlucky.
If he added the cost of fishing gear, it would be five thousand spirit jades!
Lu Ye only had a little more than a hundred spirit jades left. Naturally, he couldn't afford it. He had no choice but to take out a spirit treasure that he didn't use.
He had about five or six spirit treasures that he didn't use. He had originally planned to let the sword gourd devour them when he needed them. Now, he could only use them for emergencies.
After a moment of hesitation, Lu Ye took out all the spirit treasures that he didn't use and placed them on the table. "Give me an estimate."
There would be chances to get more spoils in the future. It wouldn't be too late to let the sword gourd devour them then. Right now, he really needed more spirit jades.
As the manager of the chamber of commerce, Cao Xiang was naturally experienced in dealing with customers. He could easily estimate the price of a few spirit treasures.
Six spirit treasures, some good and some bad, totaled up to about thirteen thousand spirit jades.
This price was undoubtedly much lower than what Lu Ye had expected.
Cao Xiang saw his doubts and explained with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Li, the value of a spirit treasure depends on whether or not there is a need for it. The chamber of commerce has to bear the risk of not being able to sell the spirit treasures. Perhaps it will be a loss. Therefore, the chamber of commerce has a requirement for the price of spirit treasures. Generally, we will only buy at a forty percent discount. If Fellow Daoist Li feels that it is not suitable, you can take it to a shop outside or a market. The price may be higher, but it won't be too much."
