The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1700 The Fishing Master

"Is that Senior Cao living in seclusion among these snow-capped peaks?"

Lin Chen looked at the continuous snow-capped mountains in front of him, slightly curious: "This place is nothing but ice and snow. A peak Celestial Immortal no longer needs to cultivate. What is he doing here all by himself?"

Yao Xuanji replied softly, "After he stepped down, he would occasionally travel around. Every time he came back, he would bring me all sorts of different gifts. Back then, one of the things I looked forward to the most was Grandpa Cao's return, because every time he came back, it meant I would have many gifts."

"Later, I was murdered. After Grandpa Cao learned the news, he searched for me everywhere. In the end, everyone was disappointed. He gave up his original plan to try his luck in the higher immortal realm and returned here to live in seclusion. He never went out again and spent his days fishing, growing vegetables, and raising flowers."

“He used to live in seclusion here. Whenever he caught a good fish or grew some good vegetables and fruits, he would send me a portion, come see me, talk to me, and chat. But after I left, he never came to the Celestial Palace again.”

"After I got back, I went to visit him as soon as possible. He was so happy that his eyes were red. He repeatedly told me to come to him anytime if I had any difficulties, and that he would kill Wei Jiao if he found out where she was!"

Yao Xuanji's voice was full of emotion. You could tell that the old man regarded her as his own granddaughter. Similarly, Yao Xuanji regarded him as her own grandfather. Otherwise, how could he have waited for her for so many years without asking for anything in return?
Perhaps, after losing all hope, he stayed here hoping that Yao Xuanji would one day return safely.

Fortunately, after waiting for ten thousand years, Yao Xuanji finally returned safely.

This is a respectable old man!

Flying over the rolling mountains, Lin Chen saw a dark, deep pool below. The pool wasn't large, but the water was frighteningly black. Beside the pool, an old man with white hair was sitting on the bank, holding a fishing rod, with his eyes closed, as if he were dozing off.

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Is that Senior Cao? With his skills, he could just wave his hand and get any fish he wants. Is he just killing time by fishing here?"

Yao Xuanji explained, "This cold pool is no ordinary place. It is bottomless, and the deeper you go, the colder it becomes. Grandpa Cao said that he once tried to go down there, but he only reached a depth of 4,000 meters before his whole body was frozen and his spiritual energy was almost frozen, making it impossible to circulate and go any further."

"Although people cannot go down there, a special kind of fish lives in this cold pool. No one else has ever seen this kind of fish before. Grandpa Cao named them Cold Fish. This kind of fish lives in the deepest places and grows extremely slowly. However, this Cold Fish, which grows in extremely yin water, is very helpful for improving cultivation. The effect is even better when women take it."

"Grandpa Cao fishes here year after year, but he often catches nothing. That's why I always bring him fish whenever he catches one."

Lin Chen subconsciously thought of the Endless Abyss in the Six Deadly Lands of the Wilderness Realm. It led to the Earth's core and was filled with indescribable ferocious monsters. Even the powerful Sister Qi couldn't go any deeper.

There's also the Yin-Yang Valley, which can poison even the strongest. If you don't have the spiritual spring inside that can cure the poison, you'll inevitably get poisoned if you try to enter, and there's no cure.

All I can say is that the world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things.

The two landed by the pool. Cao Hechuan had already opened his eyes, turned his head, and gave a kind smile. "Grandpa Cao, did you catch any fish today?"

Cao Hechuan laughed, "No sound, looks like you're out of luck today... oh..."

Cao Hechuan suddenly stopped speaking, turned to look at the fishing rod, and saw that the tip of the rod suddenly bent and was pulled towards the water.

Cao Hechuan's eyes lit up with surprise, and his right hand suddenly trembled.

The spiritual energy was transmitted to the fishing rod, and then to the fishing line. The fishing line suddenly flew upwards, as if someone in the sky was pulling the fishing line upwards.

The fishing line kept leaving the water at a very fast speed.

Yao Xuanji asked in surprise, "They've taken the bait?"

Cao Hechuan stared at the water's surface: "We'll find out soon enough."

Time passed second by second, and the fishing line pulled from the water grew longer and longer. Finally, a wave surged, and a black fish broke through the water and flew into the air.

"Haha, I've got it!"

Cao Hechuan waved his hand, and the black fish was immediately enveloped by an invisible force, obediently flying over.

This cold fish is about 30 centimeters long. It looks somewhat like a grass carp. It is completely black and exudes a cold aura.

Cao Hechuan turned his head and smiled, "Little Xuanji, I've been fishing here ever since you came back, hoping to catch one for you, but I haven't caught anything. I didn't expect you to take the bait so soon after you arrived today. It seems you're very lucky!"

Yao Xuanji said with a smile, "Perhaps it's not my luck, but his luck. He's always been very lucky."

Cao Hechuan's gaze fell on Lin Chen, scanning him with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Bone forged into a magic sword, interesting. You must be Lin Chen, the barbaric emperor of the Wilderness Realm who saved Xuanji, right?"
