Having acquired the "Fishing Talisman," Shen Gengqin and Yue Lipeng did not dare to delay even for a moment and hurriedly drove to the spot they had previously agreed upon—a secluded fishing spot within Wu Mountain, where they had often come back empty-handed.
An hour later, the pair reached the end of the road, and then they carried their fishing gear and switched to walking.
A few more minutes passed, and they arrived at their predetermined location.
It was a location on Wu Mountain where an unnamed river flows, shallow and rapid with scarce fish smoke.
The fish that survive in harsh environments were usually strong, intelligent, cunning, and nimble.
Even experienced anglers would often leave here with diminished spirits.
Shen Gengqin's expectation for the "Fishing Talisman" was that if it could catch fish in the worst fishing conditions, even if just one, then the talisman would be worth the purchase!
Being seasoned partners, the two didn't need to communicate much.
