Zhao Yun suddenly had a moment of clarity and thought to himself: Indeed, a more dignified name would suffice. Given his status and distance, how could he have the fortune to meet Zhang Yi? Moreover, there was no one around who recognized the Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear.
Wasn't it just a matter of thought to change the spear's name? With this in mind, Zhao Yun nodded respectfully and turned to Yun Xiao Yi, bowing as he said, "I humbly request the immortal to give this spear a new name."
Yun Xiao Yi looked at Zhao Yun with great interest and did not immediately agree. Instead, he asked, "In fact, with me here, even the Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear poses no problem. Are you sure you want to change its name?"
Zhao Yun was momentarily taken aback, thinking that with an immortal guarding him, what storm could a mere Zhang Yi stir up? However, after a brief moment of contemplation, he still firmly nodded. "I humbly request the immortal to bestow a new name; I do not wish to trouble you over such trivial matters."
Yun Xiao Yi nodded in approval. "Very well, let us name it Ya Jiao Qiang. It symbolizes that no matter where you are in the world, its brilliance is unmatched. May you be invincible in the days to come, just like this spear."
In fact, Ya Jiao Qiang was indeed a historical alias for the Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear; it was simply being reintroduced now, allowing the spear to return to its original name.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun nodded in gratitude and clasped his hands in acknowledgment. "Thank you for bestowing this name upon me; from now on, this spear shall be my Ya Jiao Qiang."
Afterward, the group left the abandoned cellar. Although the armor and weapons inside remained undisturbed, Zhao Yun left with his newly named Ya Jiao Qiang (the original Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear) in hand. Throughout the entire process, an uncontainable smile adorned his face.
Feeling the sunlight from outside, Yun Xiao Yi seemed eager to test the effectiveness of the Fishing Rod. He quickly set up a crafting table in public view. In the realm of crafting, such tables were essential tools that one typically carried in their bag for unexpected needs.
He swiftly placed sticks and string into the Crafting Table, and in an instant, a brand-new Fishing Rod was successfully crafted.
Zhao An, Zhao Yun, and others were astonished by this action and thought to themselves how truly extraordinary the Immortal Master was! What was the immortal doing?
Someone couldn't help but ask.
Yun Xiao Yi, holding the newly crafted Fishing Rod, smiled and replied, "This is the Fishing Rod I just synthesized, quite a remarkable tool."
"Fishing Rod?"
This was indeed an extremely rare item. Years of drought had reduced the once vast Hutuo River to a mere trickle; could there still be fish to catch?
Zhao An cautiously said, "Master, there probably aren't any fish left around here."
Yun Xiao Yi was well aware of the actual situation. Even though the Hutuo River had very little water, with the deepest parts barely reaching his ankles, it was easy to see that there were no fish present. However, what he held in his hand was the Fishing Rod from a game, and in this virtual world, fishing didn't require actual schools of fish—just water would suffice.
So he smiled and reassured everyone, "It's alright, just watch for now."
With that, he casually took out a shovel from his backpack and easily plunged it into the ground beneath him. Next, he pulled out a bucket and prepared to get to work. He placed an Endless Water Source Block in the freshly dug hole and firmly gripped his Fishing Rod.
With a gentle flick of his wrist, the White Buoy flew out and landed steadily in the small pool of water.
Yun Xiao Yi slowly crossed his legs and sat down.
"Huh? Are we fishing already? There are no fish in this water at all! Shouldn't you first throw in some bait?"
Could it be that he was imitating Jiang Ziya's fishing technique?
Waiting for the Trap to Close?
Though questions swirled in their minds, none of them spoke. Since the deity had signaled for them to observe, there must be a deeper meaning behind it. The only correct response was to watch in silence. Zhao Yun and Zhao An promptly settled beside Yun Xiao Yi. After a moment of hesitation, Zhao Yu and Zhao Yang joined them.
Thus, within the dilapidated courtyard, a scene unfolded: five individuals sat in a circle, their gazes fixed on a small pond barely measuring a square meter. One person was focused on fishing, while the four observers held their breath in anticipation. If anyone were to witness this scene, they would surely think they were witnessing a performance art exhibition.
After a while, the calm surface of the water suddenly began to bubble, the bubbles rising slowly towards the fishing line. The fish had taken the bait. Yun Xiao Yi's eyes were glued to the White Buoy until bubbles gathered directly beneath it. At that moment, the White Buoy trembled slightly in place.
In an instant, Yun Xiao Yi's keen eyes and swift hands came into play as he swiftly lifted the Fishing Rod.
Whoosh!
A pair of boots unexpectedly leaped from the water and landed on the ground.
What?!
Was this beginning too off-kilter? Fishing could yield all sorts of strange catches, but this was certainly unexpected.
