Don't Look Down on an Old Man, I Get Stronger by Fishing!

After transmigrating to the Great Qian Dynasty, Chen Yuan discovered that he had become a sixty-seven-year-old widower with no family.

All Chen Yuan wanted was to live quietly until his natural end.

But the System told him that if he kept working hard, he could earn Effort Points to repair his body and exchange them for cultivation.

So the old man picked up a broken bamboo rod and started fishing.

Others saw an old, frail man and figured he wouldn't last half a month.

But Chen Yuan could read the paths of schools of fish in the currents, judge their habits from marks in the mud, and catch his first bucket of spirit fish with nothing but a hemp rope.

When the Fish-Tooth Gang came to collect taxes, he told them to get in the river and catch some fish first.

When a water demon opened its mouth to swallow people, he sent a barbed hook down its throat.

From Bluestone Village to the lands of the Nine Provinces, Chen Yuan fished his way onward, extending his life with every cast.

Chen Yuan: "Watch me unleash Eighteen Fish-Subduing Casts. One cast opens the Gate of Heaven!"

Everyone was stunned!

"Holy crap, that old man is insanely strong!"
