Lu Xuan came to the dark fish and held it down with one palm. The giant fish was immediately unable to move and lay obediently on the ground.
He put it into an ordinary spirit animal bag and hung it around his waist.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, this dark fish tastes good, but there is one thing you need to pay attention to. It must be processed well before cooking to wash away the real river breath in the spirit fish. Otherwise, if you eat too much, it will have an adverse effect on the monks."
Shi Zichen looked serious and reminded.
"Okay, Lu will pay attention."
Lu Xuan smiled.
Catching a fourth-grade spiritual fish so easily made him feel happy at the moment.
Shi Zichen returned to his Wu Yao Spiritual Rod and grabbed the fifth-grade spiritual pole in his hand, feeling uneasy.
“If you don’t catch a fish, no matter how good the equipment is, it will be in vain.”
He adjusted his mentality and continued to sit on the river bank and fish quietly.
But within two days, there was another movement on Lu Xuan's side.
Turning around, I saw the handsome young man holding the fishing rod in his hand high and pulling against a giant fish.
"Another dark turtle? Did you hit the dark turtle's nest?"
Shi Zichen thought secretly in his heart.
Although the Anhui Fish is only a fourth-grade fish and is not considered rare in the Qianbaozhen River, it is still a high-level spiritual fish.
For many monks who have stayed by the river to fish for treasures for a long time, catching a dark fish can be regarded as a fruitful harvest.
It's better than getting nothing.
"I didn't expect that fellow Daoist Lu would be so proficient in fishing, and he caught the second Antarctic fish in a short period of time."
He came to Lu Xuan's side, with a hint of sourness in his tone.
"Fellow Taoist Shi is very grateful."
"Lu once heard a rumor that monks who try fishing for the first time will always catch all kinds of spiritual fish inexplicably. This is called the novice protection period."
"Maybe Lu is like this now."
A smile appeared on Lu Xuan's face, and he took the second dark fish off the agarwood hook.
This second one looked significantly larger than the first one. Dark spiritual light circulated on the many scales, and it sprayed water arrows towards Lu Xuan, showing its ferocious look.
"possible."
Shi Zichen nodded and could only use this reason to comfort himself.
He returned to his fishing spot and moved a little closer to Lu Xuan without leaving any trace.
As if Lu Xuan didn't see it, he continued to stay in his original position, using the special bait he prepared to seduce the dark fish deep in the Zhen River.
Perhaps because of the limited number of spiritual fish below, the third spiritual fish arrived later than the first two.
It wasn't until the tenth day of fishing that he caught the third crocodile fish.
"Three pieces!!"
At this time, Shi Zichen couldn't sit still anymore. He came to Lu Xuan and sighed deeply.
"Perhaps Lu has a connection with this dark fish, or maybe the bait he bought from the fish shop owner happened to be liked by this spiritual fish."
"Of course, the most likely thing is that the location chosen by Lu happened to have a lot of dark fish, so he could easily get three of them."
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment and said.
He had been very subtle when preparing the bait before. Shi Zichen focused all his attention on the fish float and did not attract the other party's attention.
"Friend Daoist Lu was able to catch these three spiritual fish because of your good fortune, fellow Taoist. Shi just felt a little unbalanced and had no other ideas."
Seeing Lu Xuan's attitude, Shi Zichen quickly explained.
"I understand, I understand, there are only three fourth-grade spiritual fish. If Fellow Daoist Shi catches a treasure at random, it will far surpass them."
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
The two returned to their positions and once again fell into the expectation of fishing for treasures.
"Not to mention anything else, the moment I caught the fish, I felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction."
"Especially high-level spiritual fish like Anmangyu."
“I don’t know what it will be like to catch fifth-grade or even higher-grade treasures in the future.”
Lu Xuan thought secretly in his heart.
With that special ability, he is confident that he can catch higher-level spiritual fish, water beasts and other beings with sufficient preparation.
"If you catch some rare spiritual fish and water monster, you can try raising it yourself."
"There are thousands of treasures with mysterious origins in the real river. I wonder if there is a chance to catch one or two high-level spiritual seeds."
His mind was full of thoughts.
"The fact that I can prepare special bait must be kept secret, so that I can obtain more treasures and avoid unnecessary trouble."
If those major sect forces knew that Lu Xuan had this special ability, they would probably force Lu Xuan to serve them.
He has a loose nature and doesn't like to be restrained, so he tries to avoid that situation.
"After you return, try to collect some spiritual bamboo seedlings or spiritual seeds to create higher-quality spiritual poles. You can also upgrade your fishing lines and hooks."
Lu Xuan secretly thought that after all, the black jade spiritual pole in his hand was only a fourth-grade one. When fishing for high-level treasures, he might not be able to bear it. It was necessary to get better fishing gear.
After the third dark fish, Lu Xuan sat there for another five days, and no more information about the dark fish appeared in his mind.
He guessed that the fish in this area of water had been caught by him, so he had the idea of leaving.
"Although the spiritual fish is good, don't be addicted to it. The spiritual plant is the most important."
"The spiritual plants in the Thunder Star Cave are about to mature."
Lu Xuan thought to himself, and then he put away the black jade spiritual pole and other treasures, and came to the middle-aged monk who seemed to be petrified.
"Fellow Taoist Shi, Mr. Lu will not accompany you anymore. I will give you this dark fish here as a gift. I hope you can catch better spiritual fish and water monsters in the future."
He took out a dark fish from his storage bag and presented it to Shi Zichen.
"Friend Lu Dao, you have caught three fourth-grade spiritual fish in less than half a month. The success rate is so high, don't you think about catching a few more?"
Shi Zichen didn't rush to take An Dingyu, and there was a look of surprise on his face.
"No, Lu remembers that Taoist friend reminded me at the beginning not to indulge in it and waste my practice."
A strange smile appeared on Lu Xuan's face, which meant something.
"Of course, the more important thing is that there are many spiritual plants planted in Lu's cave, which need to be cultivated carefully. Over time, it will not be conducive to their growth."
He looked serious and continued.
"I see. It can be seen that spiritual plants are more important in the eyes of fellow Taoist Lu than fishing treasures."
Shi Zichen nodded and took the dark fish.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu. Then Shi will take advantage of Fellow Daoist Lu's good fortune and give this dark fish a tooth-beating sacrifice."
"Just in time for the bottle of spiritual brew given by fellow Taoist friend earlier."
Lu Xuan gave away a fourth-grade spiritual fish so easily, which made him feel good.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, take your leave and see you later."
Lu Xuan raised his hands and flew into the endless void with the silver-white sword light.
Shi Zichen watched as Lu Xuan's figure disappeared completely, and continued to sit where he was, staring unblinking at the fish floating in the real river.
Soon, he put away the Wu Yao Spiritual Rod and walked to the fishing position in front of Lu Xuan with a calm expression.
