Diaoyu Island is not small, at least it is larger than most of the spiritual islands Lu Ye has seen, but in fact it is a deserted island that is not occupied by any force.
The main reason is naturally that there are no spiritual jade veins on this island and there is no value in occupying it.
In the Vientiane Sea, there are still many desert islands such as Diaoyu Island, and some have become strongholds of certain forces or gangs. Others are not allowed to enter at will, otherwise it will be a provocation.
However, the fishing organization has been extremely loose since ancient times, so people are not prohibited from coming in and out here.
When Lu Ye arrived here, he saw a lot of people gathered here. Those who were standing quietly on the edge of the island with fishing gear in hand, staring at a certain position on the sea for a moment, were undoubtedly anglers who were fishing.
There were also some people who were not fishing, but were walking around and watching. Lu Ye guessed that these people were just like him, they were all interested in this matter and came to observe.
The positions where the fishermen stood were scattered, and everyone was at least a hundred feet away from others. The monks watching nearby never came close to them, and were also watching from a hundred feet away.
It can be seen that people here, whether they are anglers or spectators, are silently abiding by an underlying rule.
Lu Ye looked around, then randomly selected an angler and hung him a hundred feet away from him, ensuring that the other person could see him out of the corner of his eye.
It's not good to stand behind him. Doing so can easily arouse the hostility of the other party and make it easy for him to stand in front of him. If someone keeps staring at him from behind, Lu Ye won't be happy.
Although he doesn't know much about the rules here, he still understands the basic ways of life.
The fisherman was a young man. He grew up from a jade tree in the wind. He had a tall and straight body and a good skin. He stood on the shore, holding fishing gear in one hand and a small wine gourd in the other. He took a sip from time to time. It looked like
Very relaxed and contented.
Lu Ye had his own reasons for choosing this angler for observation.
Although he is not very old, he has come into contact with quite a lot of people. A stranger can basically tell if he is someone easy to get along with just by looking at him.
This young man has a very peaceful face and seems to be an easy person to get along with. At the very least, he can ensure that he will not chase him away while observing!
Another point, the way this man drank from a wine gourd reminded Lu Ye of his fourth senior brother Li Baxian. The fourth senior brother was also so charming. Lu Ye had a natural affinity with such people.
Sure enough, when the other party noticed that he was watching from the side, he just turned to look at him and nodded slightly, without any intention of driving him away.
He fished quietly, while Lu Ye watched quietly.
time flies.
Lu Ye discovered a problem, that is, Bai Ling is very difficult to catch!
On the entire Diaoyu Island, there were at least hundreds of young men fishing, but he had been watching here for most of the day, and no one had gained anything.
No wonder Qiu Pingyang said he didn't buy any fish when he came to this fishing island. Looking at this situation, it is undoubtedly very difficult to catch a white spirit.
This is probably one of the reasons why Bailing is so expensive.
This thing exists in the Sea of All Things, and ordinary monks dare not go deep into it to catch it. They can only rely on this fishing method, and the chance of harvesting it is also very small, which results in the phenomenon of rare things becoming more valuable.
Another half day passed, and there was still no harvest on the entire Diaoyu Island.
A hundred feet away from Lu Ye, the young man suddenly poured out the wine gourd in his hand, then turned to look at Lu Ye: "Do you have any wine, fellow Taoist?"
Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes!"
Saying this, he walked over to the young man and took out some wine jars from the storage ring.
He usually doesn't drink unless he gets together with friends, so he usually doesn't buy wine to store by himself. The drinks in the storage ring are the trophies he got after killing people. They have various origins and vary in quality.
.
Lu Ye took out more than a dozen jars one after another, and the young man quickly said: "That's enough, that's enough. Zunyou is too polite, how can you sell these?"
Lu Ye waved his hand: "I'll give it to you!"
It's just some drinks and not worth the money.
The young man smiled and did not refuse: "Then thank you fellow Taoist for your kindness!"
Saying this, he put the fishing tackle into Lu Ye's hand: "Look at it for me for a while!"
Lu Yeben took the fishing rod, stood there numbly, and then watched the young man pour a jar of wine into his wine gourd.
"Fellow Taoist, you have been watching here for a long time. Can you tell what the magic is?" the young man asked while busy.
Lu Ye thought for a while and said: "It seems that the Taoist friend is not fishing seriously."
The reason for saying this is mainly because this young man is different from other anglers. From Lu Ye's observation, the other anglers all looked like they were facing an enemy, with tense expressions, as if they might be hit at any time.
The fish raises the rod in such a manner that he doesn't even look away.
But this young man's fishing posture is much more lazy. He is drinking a small drink and looking at this and that. Especially when a female nun passes by nearby, his attention will inevitably be drawn away!
The other anglers were silent, but he didn't care. He was so excited to chat with Lu Ye that he wasn't afraid of scaring away the fish.
Hearing what Lu Ye said, the young man couldn't help but laugh for a while, shook his head, and said leisurely: "If there are fish, you can fish, if there are no fish, you can have fun, be free, without the worries of the predecessors, without the worries of today's people, this is how you can fish."
Avenue!”
Lu Ye's eyes twitched, it was just fishing, what else was involved.
But I also feel more and more that this person has a free-spirited personality.
The conversation changed and the young man said: "Looking at my Taoist friend, he seems to be interested in fishing? Now that I've drank your wine, if you have anything to ask, feel free to ask!"
He undoubtedly understands the ways of the world. He took Lu Ye's wine for free and intended to teach him a thing or two.
Lu Ye was naturally not polite and asked him about fishing.
Only then did I realize that fishing here is not as simple as I thought.
First of all, this fishing tackle is very particular. It is specially refined and used here. It does not mean that you can just get a fishing rod and fish here. Especially the fishing line is made of extremely pure Yuan magnetic mineral.
It is refined so that it can be soaked in sea water for a long time. Otherwise, if it were replaced by ordinary spiritual objects, it would be corroded after entering the sea and would not last long.
But the biggest problem with fishing lines made from metamagnetic ore is that they are not tough enough, so they can easily break.
This means that when you hit a fish, you should not lift the rod too hard. If you do it too hard, the fishing line will break and the fish will run away. There is also a skill in collecting the fish. You need to slowly slide the fish and wait until the fish slips out of the water.
Use utensils to pick it up, so you can catch fish.
The bait is also specially made. It is a magical elixir specially used for fishing. It is not just a matter of hanging earthworms like in the world.
In addition, when fishing, you need to concentrate fully and use the fishing rod in your hand to feel the movement of the fishing line, because Bai Ling only takes a moment to eat the bait. There is no point in lifting the rod too early. If it is too late, the bait will be gone and the fish will run away.
This is why Lu Ye saw that all the fishermen looked like they were facing a formidable enemy. They were all concentrating on sensing the movement of the fishing line.
It can be said that fishing here is an extremely hard job, and you can't be distracted at all. It is no worse than the state of practice.
As the young man talked, Lu Ye felt it and found that it was indeed as he said. His mind could clearly detect the slightest movement of the fishing line with the help of the continuation of the fishing rod.
The young man spoke in detail, and Lu Ye found it very useful. He was also lucky to meet such a person who was willing to tell him this. Otherwise, he would have wasted a lot of time just trying to figure it out on his own.
"Although fishing is fun and you may get rich overnight, fellow Taoists need to be careful. This field cannot be entered easily." The young man advised kindly when he took the fishing rod from Lu Ye.
Lu Ye nodded: "I understand. Three generations will be poor at fishing, but their lives will be ruined by playing with fish!"
The young man laughed: "It turns out that Taoist friends have heard this sentence, so it's easy to handle. This is not alarmist, but something that happens every year. Some people want to come here to get rich overnight, but as a result, they not only delay their own practice, but also
Even if all your investment is in vain, if you still decide to join despite being completely mentally prepared, you can tell me and maybe I can help you a little."
"What do you mean?" Lu Ye was confused.
The young man said: "Some people have left this field, but they still have fishing tackle in their hands. I can help you buy it cheaply and save you the trouble of buying new ones."
Lu Ye's eyes lit up: "That will really trouble fellow Taoist."
The young man said: "Really want to buy it?"
"Natural!" Lu Ye nodded seriously.
"I'll contact you. You can also inquire about the specific price. I dare not say more, but I can still help you get 70% of the price." With that said, he took out the musical note and sent a message, obviously to contact the person selling fishing gear.
Already.
Of course, Lu Ye would not completely believe him, and he did not shy away from anything. He started contacting Fang Wanli in front of him to inquire about the market situation. After a while, he had a clue.
Fang Wanli was also trying to persuade him not to join the angler business, which was just out of good intentions.
Shaoqing, the young man said: "A set of fishing gear, including fishing rods, three sets of fishing lines, a net, and three thousand spiritual jade, may I accept it?"
Lu Ye did some calculations and found that the price was really not expensive. According to the market price he learned from Fang Wanli, such a set of fishing gear would cost more than four thousand spiritual jade.
He nodded immediately: "Okay!"
The young man said: "Then I'll have someone send him over. He's nearby!" Another message was sent out.
"What do you call Taoist brother?" Lu Ye asked.
He was so helpful and enthusiastic, so Lu Ye naturally wanted to find out his name. In any case, he might become a colleague in the future and fight side by side here.
The young man smiled leisurely: "In the ordinary world, those who carry swords are called swordsmen and swordsmen!"
He raised the fishing rod in his hand: "The person holding the rod on the fishing island is the fisherman!"
Then he patted himself with a gourd hanging on his waist: "What do you think my name is?"
Lu Ye looked at the ladle, then at him, and said hesitantly: "Ladle guest?"
