Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1563: Chapter 1238: Fishing

Time passes like a white colt glimpsing through a crack, fleeting as it may be.

Since the last encounter with the Grey Realm, five years have passed in the blink of an eye...

As the threat of the Grey Realm looms closer, under the leadership of Great Flame and Qiguang, two top-tier countries, a unified front has gradually formed among the main forces of the East Continent to collectively resist the Grey Realm.

Especially countries and powers like Huo Luo and Wusa, located near the northwest, have set up countless Star Energy outposts early on. If there’s any major disturbance along the coast, it won’t be long before the news spreads throughout the East Continent.

Moreover, Great Flame, Qiguang, and other major countries and forces have dispatched numerous experts of various levels to key cities and regions along the coast to guard against changes.

Longtan Country, located northwest of Huo Luo Country, is a small nation within the Eastern Continent Alliance.

Longtan Country has five King Level experts, with the strongest reaching the Seventh Stage!

Because Longtan Country is near the West Coast and the Star Power is relatively dense, it has become one of the key former sites of the Eastern Continent Alliance.

There are many islands and canyons to the west of Longtan Country, especially after the Earth Tribulation, which took over more islands, collectively known as the Black Qun Islands.

As winter arrives, snowflakes drift down, covering the earth in a blanket of white.

On one of the small islands in the Black Qun Islands, some people are fishing by the sea.

Countless snowflakes gently fall on the sea surface, lingering momentarily before melting and disappearing beneath...

At this time, the calm surface of the lake suddenly ripples. After a slight tug, a completely white carp, resembling an ice crystal, is pulled up by a shiny fishing line, drawing a graceful arc in mid-air before landing straight into a fish basket in front of an old man.

The rune on the old man’s fishing rod flickered briefly, and the fishing line automatically detached from the fish’s mouth and retracted. He glanced at the Cold Star Carp in the fish basket, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

”Great! Another Cold Star Carp, and it looks like it has decent weight?”

”It must be Uncle Chen; he’s caught two this morning already. He truly deserves the title of last year’s Fishing King.”

All the people fishing on the island were full of admiration and envy!

The Cold Star Carp is a specialty of the Black Qun Islands, its unique constitution nurturing an incredibly dense and easily absorbable Star Power, similar to the Heavenly Mountain Moon Milk of the past Secret Realm.

Although the effect is not as good as the Heavenly Mountain Moon Milk, it still offers considerable benefits for cultivation at the Shining Star Level.

Moreover, Cold Star Carp only breeds in winter, so every year during this time, people come to these small islands to fish...

”Why can’t I catch anything? I’ve been here for three days and haven’t caught a thing!” Among the group, a green-haired young man was somewhat impatient and discontented. ”Everyone says that if you’re willing to take risks, fishing for Cold Star Carp here is very profitable. I even spent a lot of Star Stones on this top-notch fishing gear!”

A middle-aged man nearby kindly advised, ”Young man, don’t be anxious. Fishing requires patience, especially with a spiritual body like the Cold Star Carp, which is extremely sensitive to Star Power. You must master the skills and carefully adjust the Star Power changes...”

Another lean man laughed and added, ”Look at Brother Su over there, he arrived even earlier than you, probably ten days already. Although he hasn’t caught any Cold Star Carp yet, he remains exceptionally patient!”

Hearing this, the green-haired young man looked up at the silver-haired youth beside Uncle Chen, wearing a conical hat and a brocade green robe. Although his attire was simple and he appeared young, there was an indistinct but remarkable aura about him.

The green-haired young man could distinctly feel the gap between himself and the other, and he muttered under his breath, ”With his delicate skin, he seems like a young noble experiencing life.”

The middle-aged man and others nearby shook their heads without further protest.

Although everyone sensed that Brother Su had a distinctly different aura, regardless of whether he was a young noble or had some other background, to calmly fish for Cold Star Carp for ten days in a row required a patience that few among them could claim.

Su Yuan looked at Uncle Chen, who was closing his fish basket with a smile on his face, and complimented, ”Uncle Chen, you’re truly impressive. Such delicate control over Star Power is considered top-notch among the Shining Star Level.”

Uncle Chen chuckled at the compliment, ”You flatter me, Brother Su! But I’m only skilled in life’s small tricks like fishing and mining, not so much in combat. Most of my Star Cards are embedded with lifestyle and auxiliary skills.”

Gazing at the silver-haired young man in front of him, Uncle Chen had a touch of appreciation in his eyes.

Even for himself, he needed to relax and recharge every week, but this Brother Su continued fishing for ten days in a row...

Not just the energy, but this level of patience was worthy of admiration.

However... Uncle Chen looked at Su Yuan’s empty fish basket. So many days without a catch, even for a novice, this result was quite dismal.

Newcomers fishing for Cold Star Carp in the Black Qun Islands typically succeed within five days.

Going ten days without a catch suggests not just bad luck but possibly indicates that Brother Su’s level of control over Star Power changes is relatively poor among the Shining Star Level...

Uncle Chen said, ”Brother Su, would you like to try my spot? Maybe the feng shui here is better.”

Su Yuan shook his head with a smile, ”Even with my skills, sitting in a good spot might not yield results.

I’ll keep practicing, and perhaps when the time is right, the fish will come naturally.”
