Chapter 900: Novice Protection Period
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 a negative impact 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 uncomfortable.
“If you don’t catch a fish, no matter how good the equipment is, it’s all in vain.”
He adjusted his mentality and continued to sit on the bank of the river 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 stab the dark turtle in its lair?"
Shi Zichen thought secretly in his heart.
Although the Dark 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 Anhui 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 Mou 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 fierce 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.
Lu Xuan seemed not to notice, and continued to stay in the 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 Anhui fish.
"Three pieces!!"
At this time, Shi Zichen couldn't sit still at all. He came to Lu Xuan and sighed heavily.
"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 anticipation of fishing for treasure.
“If nothing else, the moment I catch the fish, I feel 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 the fishing lines and hooks."
Lu Xuan thought to himself that after all, the black jade spiritual pole in his hand was only a fourth-grade one. He might not be able to bear it when fishing for high-level treasures. 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 dark 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 in his heart, and then put away the black jade spiritual pole and other treasures, and came to the middle-aged monk who seemed to be petrified.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, I will not accompany you any longer. Here is a dark fish for you. I hope you can catch better spiritual fish and water monsters later."
He took out a dark fish from the storage bag and presented it to Shi Zichen.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you have caught three fourth-grade spiritual fish in less than half a month. Your success rate is so high. Would you consider catching a few more?"
Shi Zichen did not rush to take the dark fish. A look of surprise appeared on his face.
"No, I remember that you reminded me at the beginning not to indulge in it and neglect my practice."
Lu Xuan showed a strange smile on his face, which was meaningful.
"Of course, more importantly, there are many spiritual plants planted in my cave, which need to be carefully cultivated. If they are left for a long time, it will not be conducive to their growth."
He straightened his face and continued.
"I see, it can be seen that spiritual plants are more important to fellow Daoist Lu than fishing treasures."
Shi Zichen nodded and took the dark fish.
"Thank you, Daoist Fellow Lu. I will take advantage of Daoist Fellow Lu's good fortune and eat this dark fish."
"It can be used with the bottle of spiritual wine that Daoist Fellow gave me earlier."
Lu Xuan gave a fourth-grade spiritual fish so easily, which made him feel quite good.
"Daoist Fellow Shi, goodbye, see you later."
Lu Xuan bowed, controlled the silver-white sword light, and flew into the endless void.
Shi Zichen watched Lu Xuan's figure disappear completely, and continued to sit in the same place, staring at the fish float floating in the real river without blinking.
Soon, he put away the black Yao spiritual pole and calmly came to the place where Lu Xuan had been fishing before.
