At the Start, I Break a Bamboo Raft, I Rely on Catching Turtles to Earn a Hundred Gold Pieces
Lu Qing worked with his cousin and cousin's wife to catch softshell turtles for three years, helping them build their fortune with his family's traditional skills of reading the water and making turtle-attracting mud. Now that they have made enough money, the couple steals his rudimentary formula and kicks him out, giving him only fifty copper coins before driving him off their boat. With his mother seriously ill and in urgent need of money to buy ginseng, Lu Qing has no choice but to purchase an old bamboo raft and a fish basket and venture into the perilous Blackwater Dragon Pool. His true ancestral secret recipe contains ash made from bitter snake grass, which repels venomous snakes and attracts only century-old softshell turtles with golden-edged shells. The bait stolen by his cousin's wife is merely an unfinished version. As night falls, Lu Qing bravely enters the Dragon Pool on his bamboo raft, while his greedy cousin and cousin's wife cast their nets using bloody bait, unaware that they have already attracted venomous river snakes.

Lu Qing bekerjasama dengan sepupu lelakinya dan isteri sepupunya menangkap kura-kura lembut selama tiga tahun. Dengan kemahiran warisan nenek moyangnya membaca aliran air dan membuat lumpur pemikat kura-kura, dia membantu mereka membina kekayaan. Namun, setelah memperoleh wang yang mencukupi, pasangan itu mencuri formula ringkasnya lalu menyingkirkannya, hanya memberinya lima puluh keping wang tembaga sebelum menghalaunya turun dari bot. Ibunya sakit tenat dan memerlukan wang segera untuk membeli ginseng. Lu Qing terpaksa membeli rakit buluh lama dan bakul ikan, lalu mempertaruhkan nyawa menuju Kolam Naga Air Hitam yang berbahaya. Resipi rahsia sebenar warisan keluarganya mengandungi abu tumbuhan rumput ular pahit, yang dapat menghalau ular berbisa dan hanya memikat kura-kura lembut berusia seratus tahun dengan tepi cangkerang keemasan. Umpan yang dicuri oleh isteri sepupunya hanyalah produk yang belum siap. Apabila malam menjelma, Lu Qing berani memasuki Kolam Naga dengan rakit buluhnya, sementara sepupu dan isterinya yang tamak memasang jala menggunakan umpan berdarah tanpa mengetahui bahawa mereka telah menarik ular air sungai yang amat berbisa.
