Chapter 917 Thick Earth Palace
After preparing the special bait, Lu Xuan once again threw the agarwood hook into the depths of the Qianbao True River.
Then, he patiently sat aside, waiting for the giant silver-horned fish to be attracted by the bait.
"Daoyou Lu, how is the situation? Is there any spirit fish biting the hook?"
A familiar voice fell into Lu Xuan's ears.
Turning his head, Shi Zichen, who was several miles away, nodded to this side from a distance, expressing his greetings.
"Occasionally, one or two spirit fish bite the hook, but I haven't been able to catch them. My luck is only average."
Lu Xuan transmitted the message.
"It's normal not to catch them. It's not so easy to catch spirit fish."
"I don't know what methods those big forces use to fish out various rare treasures from the Qianbao True River."
Shi Zichen sighed, with a strong envy in his tone.
"Daoyou Shi, let's encourage each other."
Lu Xuan chuckled, and his mind continued to focus on the agarwood hook in the depths of the True River.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
[Giant silver-horned fish…]
“Here it comes!”
Lu Xuan held his breath and concentrated, the muscles of his arm holding the black jade spirit pole bulged, and a faint golden luster appeared on the surface of his skin.
Suddenly, the fish float plunged into the depths of the True River.
Lu Xuan shouted softly, raised the black jade spirit pole with one arm, and pulled it up with force.
“Another spirit fish has taken the bait?”
Shi Zichen, who was several miles away, noticed the movement here, and his eyes widened instantly.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, Shi is here to help you!”
He turned into a green light and came to Lu Xuan in an instant.
Lu Xuan ignored him without any flaws, and the black jade spirit pole in his hand was bent, like a bow pulled into a full moon, and the ice silk kept trembling, as if it was at risk of breaking at any time.
Although the giant silver-horned fish was extremely powerful, it was still a fourth-grade spirit fish after all. Due to its low intelligence, it only had brute force.
Slowly, the force of the struggle was reduced a little.
Lu Xuan was keenly aware of this change and swung the black jade spirit pole in his hand.
Amidst the sound of splashing, a giant fish emerged from the True River.
The giant fish's head was a little deformed, occupying about half of its entire body. There was a silver-white sharp horn on its head, and lightning was lingering, adding a bit of hideous horror.
It landed on the river bank, and the sharp horn burst out silver-white light, and thunder struck Lu Xuan and the others. At the same time, the body jumped high, trying to return to the Thousand Treasures True River.
"What a beast!"
Lu Xuan didn't care about avoiding the thunder, and went straight through it. He pressed hard with one hand and pierced directly into the head of the silver-horned giant fish, twisting it hard inside.
Suddenly, the lightning on the body of the silver-horned giant fish dissipated, and it lay on the ground honestly, and its life or death was uncertain.
"I didn't expect that you, Daoyou Lu, are so strong in the flesh!"
Shi Zichen next to him showed a trace of surprise on his face.
Although the silver-horned giant fish is only a fourth-grade demon beast, it has a very strong body. Lu Xuan just used his body to resist those thunderbolts, and then beat the silver-horned giant fish to death with a palm, which shows how strong his body is.
"I usually plant a lot of spiritual fruits that can temper the body. I will bring some to you, Daoist Fellow Shi, to taste one day."
Lu Xuan smiled and returned to his previous gentle and elegant appearance.
"Daoist Fellow Lu is thoughtful."
"But I don't have much time to think about spiritual fruits now."
Shi Zichen looked at the silver-horned giant fish on the ground and smiled bitterly.
Lu Xuan came to Qianbao Zhenhe to fish for less than three months, and he has already caught four spiritual fish. This made him, who had no harvest for a long time, fall into deep self-doubt.
"Luck, luck, maybe Lu and Zhenhe have some good fortune."
Seeing this, Lu Xuan comforted him.
"... Daoist Fellow Lu, please shut up."
Shi Zichen took a deep breath and walked back slowly. His figure looked a little bleak and lonely.
Lu Xuan shook his head.
He couldn't tell the other party that he had special abilities. At the same time, their friendship was not good enough for him to give him the special bait.
Besides, even if he used the special bait prepared by Lu Xuan, he might not be able to catch spiritual fish.
After all, the Qianbao River stretched for countless miles, and the specific species of spiritual fish that flowed into this area were unknown. Only by using targeted bait could the probability of catching them be increased.
He processed the silver-horned giant fish slightly, put it in the storage bag, and continued to fish for silver-horned giant fish.
In less than ten days, another silver-horned giant fish was caught.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, I don't know what else to say except that I envy Shi."
The sourness in Shi Zichen's tone seemed to have become real.
"What went wrong?"
"Is it my spirit rod that's not good enough? Or am I not experienced enough in fishing?"
"Daoyou Lu has only been fishing for a short time, and he has already caught five spirit fish!"
"Five! I may not be able to catch one in a year!"
"Is it really that everyone has different fortunes?"
With many doubts, he returned to his fishing position, looking at the fifth-grade Wuyao spirit rod in his hand, and he was not happy with it.
"Call it a day, go back to the cave to farm."
Another half a month passed, and no new silver-horned giant fish was caught, so Lu Xuan decided to go home.
"Daoyou Shi, see you later."
Before leaving, he greeted Shi Zichen.
"Daoyou Lu, take care, I will fish for a while."
Shi Zichen waved.
After Lu Xuan's figure disappeared in the distance, his expression became firm.
"It must be a problem with the position! Try changing it!"
He quickly put away the spiritual pole and magic weapon, and in a few breaths he came to the place where Lu Xuan was before, and sat down with a calm expression.
…
Incomplete cave heaven.
Lu Xuan passed through the mist and landed gently on the small island.
He inspected each high-level spiritual plant one by one, and provided the most meticulous cultivation according to their subtle needs, ensuring that each spiritual plant could get the best growth environment.
"The second level of the Eight-Layer Palace has changed slightly."
He noticed that on the spiritual flower of the first-level Xunfeng Palace, there was a hint of deep yellow spiritual light looming in the flow of strange wind.
The divine light looked very inconspicuous, but it gave Lu Xuan a sense of heaviness and stability.
His mind was focused on the Eight-Layer Palace, and suddenly, a thought emerged in his mind.
[Eight-Layer Palace, seventh-grade spiritual plant, nurtured by the original breath of the cave heaven, has now grown to the second level, the Thick Earth Palace, which needs to be nourished by the treasure of the best spiritual soil and the pure and rich earth elemental spiritual energy, so as to promote the growth of spiritual flowers and turn from virtual to real. 】
"The second level, Thick Earth Palace, needs high-quality spiritual soil and treasures with pure and rich earth elemental spiritual energy to nourish it."
"High-quality spiritual soil is fine. The Eighth Palace is currently planted in the sixth-grade Genkun Wu soil. However, the amount of Genkun Wu soil obtained last time was not large, and most of it was used to cultivate other high-level spiritual plants."
"At present, it is not a problem to ensure the early growth of the second level. Later, you can enter the Wu Earth Star Cave and get some from it."
When the spirit beast in Tianxing Cave mutated last time, he helped solve it. He took the opportunity to leave a deep impression on the Wu Earth Star Lord. It should be no problem to buy some Genkun Wu soil.
"If it is the earth-related natural treasures, you have to go back to Leihuo Star Cave to think of a way."
"Fortunately, the Thick Earth Palace is in the gestation stage, and there is enough time."
Lu Xuan thought secretly in his heart and decided to return to Leihuo Star Cave.
