Chapter 100: The True Causal Fishing Rod
But as soon as the Yun Ling Dan touched the fishing line, it surprisingly fixed itself at the end without needing to be tied.
This amazed Ji Yang; truly, it was an Ancient magical tool!
Once the bait was securely attached, Ji Yang swung his arm and threw the rod again!
Unfortunately, due to the recent heavenly lightning, the spiritual fish underwater had scattered.
Nevertheless, Ji Yang believed in the charm of the Yun Ling Dan.
As the bait sank into the water, Ji Yang calmed his mind and waited.
While waiting, Ji Yang felt a brand new sensation; he was much more sensitive to the fishing line, perhaps because it was a line generated by the primordial spirit energy he infused through the causal fishing rod.
At the same time, Ji Yang sensed a drawback: his primordial spirit energy was slowly depleting.
Although he had received tremendous enhancement from numerous White Light Points, making his primordial spirit energy extraordinarily strong, it wouldn’t last forever if used continuously.
He might only be able to fish for three or four hours a day.
But that was enough.
Then, Ji Yang made another astonishing discovery: he seemed capable of infusing more primordial spirit energy, which made the fishing line longer!
However, the longer the line, the more primordial spirit energy it consumed.
This made Ji Yang rethink his earlier desire to experiment; having a single fishing line was enough. What he truly needed was cultivation points, not curiosity.
He could always try again once he had accumulated enough cultivation points.
More importantly, the recovery speed of his primordial spirit energy was extremely slow, even slower than True Essence! He needed to proceed cautiously.
While Ji Yang was fishing, some disciples nearby were chatting excitedly.
They had just witnessed the miraculous transformation of the fishing rod in Ji Yang’s hand, but no one had seen the fishing line.
Now, watching Ji Yang fishing with an empty rod from a distance made many feel regretful.
“He’s gone mad! Another one’s gone mad!”
“Of course, if I had just lost the Xuanwu he caught, I would go mad too!”
“Exactly, and being struck by lightning every day—this brother’s luck is truly terrible!”
At this point, Ji Yang’s status had risen to that of a senior brother. Although many of the disciples were in the later stages of Foundation Establishment, in Tianxing Lake, rank was not the key; those who achieved were regarded as teachers.
The chatter around him did not affect Ji Yang; he was focused entirely on feeling the changes in the fishing rod in his hand, trying to control it at a deeper level.
As the fishing rod fully revealed itself, the bloodstains originally a deep black gradually changed to a light red—an alteration from the earlier events.
Seeing this, Ji Yang merely chuckled; after all, it was just a magical tool.
What did it matter if it had a state of Heavenly punishment? He wasn’t afraid of Heaven’s Jealousy, let alone Heavenly punishment.
He took the change in bloodstains as merely an added coloration for the causal fishing rod.
Before, it had been rusted—a causal fishing rod!
Now, it was a colorful rose—a causal fishing rod!
Its appearance was quite decent!
Ji Yang did not have to wait long; the attraction of the Yun Ling Dan was incredibly strong. Before long, a spiritual fish swam over, drawn by the scent.
As the spiritual fish bit the hook, before it could even struggle, Ji Yang had already raised the rod.
The timing was just right!
With Ji Yang’s skillful handling, reeling in the line became very easy.
The spiritual fish, which had previously struggled, seemed to be restricted as it bit the primordial silk line that had not yet hooked it, and Ji Yang pulled it back effortlessly.
Along with the fish, a Blue Light Point came back too.
Cultivation points +1
After placing the spiritual fish into the Spiritual Beast Bag, Ji Yang took the opportunity to open his panel:
【Name: Ji Yang】
【Age: 19】
【Realm: Mid Golden Core】
【Techniques: Feather Transformation Ascension Skill】
【Abilities: Heart Sword, Sword Cultivation, Breathing Technique of All Things, Thousands of Sword Energies, Feather Transformation】
【Cultivation Level: 85/99】
【Usable】
【Status: Heaven’s Jealousy (troubling calamity will strike within seven days)】
【Status: Heavenly punishment (unforeseen consequences may lead to lightning strikes at any time)】
Looking at his cultivation points and the usable button below, Ji Yang smiled knowingly; he could upgrade to the late Golden Core stage.
But not now. Ji Yang wanted to see the breakthrough change when his cultivation points reached ninety-nine.
It would likely not take more than two days.
The troubling calamity had not yet arrived, but Ji Yang was fully absorbed in fishing, not paying it any mind.

……
With each cast of the rod, there was a reward.
Although he had lost the hook, it was even more useful than before! There was no longer the risk of losing the catch.
It was just a pity about the Xuanwu!
It became an everlasting pain in Ji Yang’s heart.
Aside from that Xuanwu, Ji Yang also despised the big fish that had dragged him into the water back in the day!
The other disciples watching Ji Yang fishing without a line, yet continuously catching fish, looked on in shock.
They did not recognize the causal fishing rod, but they sensed that the fishing rod in Ji Yang’s hands was extraordinary.
Some disciples immediately flipped through ancient texts to investigate while others used messaging talismans to inquire with elder members of the sect. Some even sought divination on the spot!
In just a moment, many disciples learned about the origins of the fishing rod in Ji Yang’s hands!
“Wow!”
“It’s the causal fishing rod!”
“But I heard this rod was supposed to be in the sect’s treasure vault, right?”
“How did this brother obtain it?”
As they dug deeper into the information, Ji Yang’s identity was quickly revealed.
At this point, many disciples had lost interest in fishing and gathered to listen to Ji Yang’s story!
“Wow! Talent Jealousy!”
“Wow! First disciple of Jingtan Peak!”
“Wow! New spiritual grains!”
Then came a flurry of inflated phrases like defeating enemies across realms, achieving higher levels, being righteous, and stepping through realms!
Listening to the surprised whispers around him, Ji Yang sighed.
Even if they wanted to discuss him, could they at least stand a bit farther away? What was with talking right next to him?
Wasn’t he supposed to not hear it?
Fortunately, Ji Yang was magnanimous and chose to ignore these gossiping disciples!
However, the chatter did not go unnoticed; many looked at Ji Yang with eyes filled with astonishment and fear.
Even though Ji Yang was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, he had already demonstrated through his strength that the gap between geniuses and ordinary people is indelible.
People had also started to feel more accepting of Ji Yang frequently being struck by heavenly lightning.
With talent envy, of course, he was extraordinary!
Some disciples even wanted to ask Ji Yang for guidance right then and there, but considering the heavenly lightning above, they held back, promising to do so next time!
The once peaceful Tianxing Lake quickly became lively due to Ji Yang’s identity being revealed.
Many disciples, feeling indignant, remained seated, uttering disdainful comments.
Ji Yang was a genius; did that mean they were not?
As Foundation Establishment disciples, they held their own confidence. As long as they hadn’t fought, they were not weaker than anyone!
This was both a steadfast belief and the confidence that most geniuses possess!
If it weren’t for the fact that this was Tianxing Lake, monitored secretly by elder disciples, there surely would have been challengers approaching Ji Yang!

……
While others debated, Ji Yang smiled and immersed himself completely in fishing.
Causal fishing rod: guaranteed hit! The reputation is well-deserved!
