Chapter 304 Poor students have too much stationery
The next two final auction items were a third-grade martial art and a fourth-grade magical weapon. Lu Xuan had little interest and watched other monks scramble to grab them.
At the end of the auction, he delivered 3,800 spirit stones, obtained rock-armored turtle eggs and Xuanyuan heavy water from the Aurora Chamber of Commerce, and left with Song Yun.
"Friend Lu Dao, please stay."
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind. He turned around and saw the lazy young man from the Lishan Sect standing not far away, with a strong-tempered female cultivator beside him.
"Friend Lu Dao, why don't we go fishing together today?"
Shi Zhong invited him enthusiastically.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but hold his forehead.
When he came out of the auction house, he imagined several scenarios, such as the Aurora Chamber of Commerce behind the auction, or Ningde Mountain setting up an ambush somewhere, or other monks becoming thief and joining forces to snatch Xuanyuan Heavy Water...
But he didn't expect that Shi Zhong would come and invite him to go fishing for sea fish and sea beasts in the boundless sea.
He thought to himself.
He, Shi Zhong, and the fierce female cultivator next to him were all monks from the sect who came to station here. There was no conflict of interest. To a certain extent, they were still on the same front.
There are rarely traces of third-grade sea beasts in the coastal waters of the Infinite Sea. With many fourth-grade sword talismans such as the Starfall Sword Talisman in his hand, and various magical weapons and treasures close by, he has full confidence in dealing with the joint attack of two people at the same time.
"Okay, then I will accompany fellow Taoist Shi to have some fun."
Lu Xuan readily agreed. He was very interested in the types of sea beasts and fish in the boundless sea, as well as the spiritual plants in the sea.
He told Song Yun.
"I will go to the island to fish for sea fish monsters with fellow Daoist Shi from the Lishan Sect. You can return to Kongming Island by yourself, and be careful on the way."
"Yes, Senior Lu!"
Song Yun replied respectfully.
He and the fierce female cultivator stepped onto Shi Zhong's third-grade flying boat magic weapon.
The flying boat is like an arrow leaving the string, speeding towards its destination.
On the way, he learned from Shi Zhong that the female cultivator's name was Zhou Bingyu, who was also a disciple of the sect.
After a while, the flying boat stopped on a remote island.
"We're here, Fellow Daoist Lu."
"Since I arrived in the Infinite Sea, I have been searching around on nearby islands and finally found such an excellent island."
"The island here is called Changfeng Island. There are many kinds of sea animals and fish around it, including some magical fish like dragon and carp. It is a natural place for fishing."
When it comes to fishing for fish and sea animals, the lazy young man suddenly seems much more serious, and his eyes shine with confidence.
"Fellow Taoist Shi is quite leisurely."
Lu Xuan looked around the island and commented briefly.
"I have no choice. I'm going to be stationed on such a bitter cold island. I'm really out of touch. I have to find something to do."
"Whether it is spiritual energy, resources, or monks of the same level here, it is completely different from that in the sect. Occasionally, I see a few foundation-building monks from small families or casual cultivators. There is nothing in common, and they are all pretentious. I don’t want to say more than a few words to them.”
Shi Zhong curled his lips, and his words contained the unique sense of pride and superiority unique to Shangzong monks.
Lu Xuan disagreed with this. He had always stayed behind closed doors and had no chance to meet other foundation-building monks in the archipelago.
"Friend Lu Dao, let me show you my babies."
With similar backgrounds and similar age as monks, Shi Zhong recognized Lu Xuan greatly and took out ten fishing rods from his storage bag.
"These fishing rods are made of spiritual wood. They have both hardness and toughness and can handle different grades and varieties of sea fish and sea beasts."
"Especially this one. It is forged from the third-grade spiritual wood. It can handle it even if it is pulled against a fourth-grade sea beast."
Shi Zhong introduced more than ten fishing rods floating in mid-air to Lu Xuan in detail.
Lu Xuan looked around and accidentally discovered that the raw material of a fishing rod looked very familiar. It had been planted a long time ago, and it was the second-grade copper-bone bamboo.
"Not only the fishing rods, but these fishing lines are also extraordinary things. They are made from silk threads produced by various spiders and silkworms."
"This fishing line made of condensed silk from a third-grade blood jade spider cannot be broken even by a huge force of ten thousand kilograms."
Shi Zhong pointed to a slightly invisible light red silk thread and said.
"And these fishhooks are also forged from various kinds of fine iron minerals, and runes that can hide the aura are specially drawn on them."
"After being put into the deep sea and activating the runes, the fishhook will greatly dilute its presence, making it easier to catch those sea monsters and fish."
"Those beasts are all monsters after all, and they have certain intelligence. If we don't handle them like this, they will easily detect the trap."
"And these baits..."
Shi Zhong introduced to Lu Xuan eloquently.
As for Zhou Bingyu, she was familiar with his habit and had already quietly found a remote corner to meditate and practice.
Lu Xuan looked at the dazzling array of fishing gear in front of him, and a sentence came to his mind:
"Bad students have too much stationery."
He randomly selected the fishing rod made of copper-bone bamboo and jumped to a tall building on the island.
In order to have a better fishing location, Shi Zhong even ordered his monks to build tall wooden buildings around the island.
"Sorry, Fellow Daoist Lu, that's not possible here!"
"This wooden building is a prime location where I often sit. Fellow Daoist Lu, it's better to find another place."
Shi Zhong, who was preparing fishing bait, shouted loudly.
Lu Xuan didn't take it seriously. He took the fishing rod with him, and his figure passed by like a floating light. After a few breaths, he stopped on a wooden building in the distance.
"Good form!"
Below, the fierce female cultivator couldn't help but admired when she saw this scene.
Although Lu Xuan was an inner disciple of the Tianjian Sect, after learning about his identity as a spiritual planter, Zhou Bingyu couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart.
After seeing Lu Xuan's wonderful movements, this contempt disappeared.
Lu Xuan sat on a dark yellow wooden chair, put down the copper-bone bamboo fishing rod, and took out the bait.
It can be seen that Shi Zhong spent a lot of thought on cultivating fishing bait.
The white jade box was divided into several areas, and there were placed various kinds of demonic beasts' flesh and blood, various spiritual plants, flowers, fruits and other materials for fishing bait. Lu Xuan even saw several kinds of living insects, suppressed by runes. Stay in designated areas.
He took out a ball made of several kinds of monster meat, hooked it deeply with a fishhook, and with a thought, the copper-bone bamboo fishing rod quickly extended, and the bait fell into the undulating sea.
"If you catch a sea fish, you will be rewarded with a white light ball. That would be great."
Lu Xuan's spiritual sense secretly thought in his heart while observing the movement of the bait.
"In that case, you can definitely become the biggest fisherman in the spiritual world."
"Huh? The goods arrived so quickly. Could it be that this is the legendary gift package for beginners?"
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly noticed a slight movement from the fishing bait in the deep sea. With his spiritual perception, a first-class sea fish was constantly biting the bait on the fishhook.
