Seeing that Shi Zhong was so cautious and wanted to learn fishing from him, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but be stunned.
“Fellow Taoist Shi, you don’t have to be so generous. I’m just lucky.”
“I have never fished for marine fish and sea animals before. This time I caught several bony swordfish in succession, which may be the rumored beginner’s halo.”
Lu Xuan held up Shi Zhong and said gently.
“Really?”
Shi Zhong was dubious. Lu Xuan’s behavior of continuously fishing for boney swordfish was indeed difficult to explain with common sense. He could only attribute it to good luck, luck and the like.
“Ahem…”
“Friend Lu Dao, the wind is a bit strong where I am, and I feel uncomfortable after being blown for a long time. Can I change my fishing position with you?”
He coughed lightly and said shamelessly.
“Okay, then follow Taoist friend Yi Shi.”
Lu Xuan didn’t care and agreed readily.
The two exchange positions with each other.
Shi Zhong sat down excitedly and brought four fishing rods with him, with different monster insects hanging on each hook.
Lu Xuan walked unhurriedly to the wooden building where Shi Zhong was previously, grabbed a ball of bait, wrapped it around the hook, and threw it into the deep sea water.
After touching it for about half a moment, he was keenly aware of the strange movement of the fishhook. He pulled it hard, and saw a ferocious fish falling on the sea with a snap. In an instant, it dived into the deep water, and its breath disappeared without a trace.
Lu Xuan didn’t take it seriously. From the moment the fish bit the bait, he already understood the detailed status of the fish.
After carefully observing the bait in the box, he pinched it and a new ball of bait took shape. The fishing rod was swung and fell into the sea water in the distance.
After a while, the sea fish was once again attracted by the bait specially prepared by Lu Xuan. It could not resist the strong temptation of the bait. After several trials, it bit deeply into the bait.
Lu Xuan was already prepared. In an instant, his arm turned into crystal white jade. He grabbed the fishing rod and lifted it suddenly, and a ferocious sea fish came out quickly.
“Fellow Daoist Lu really has a skill. After changing positions, he caught another second-grade sea fish within a few moments.”
The fierce female cultivator who had been practicing opened her eyes, pulled a smile from the corner of her mouth, and said.
“Haha, good luck.”
Lu Xuan laughed, put the strange fish in the rune pool, and continued fishing in the wooden building.
During the fishing process, he was not worried at all about the bait being eaten by sea fish and sea animals.
Instead, I was more worried that no fish or sea animals would take the bait.
As long as they eat the bait he puts down, they can learn detailed information about them, including their habits, preferences, etc.
Then, based on the information obtained, subtle adjustments are made to the bait, which greatly enhances the lure of the bait to various marine fish and sea animals.
The more fish and sea animals are attracted, the more people will take the bait.
In this way, he caught sea fish and sea creatures more and more frequently. Later, even as soon as he put down the fishing rod, there were sea fish taking the bait.
In order to save time in releasing the fish, Lu Xuan even ordered a Qi practitioner to bring the sea fish into the pool.
Although the fishing frequency is slightly lower than that of boney swordfish, compared with Shizhong in the distance, it can be said to be a high yield.
On the other side, after switching to Lu Xuan’s position, Shi Zhong took a long time to catch a boney swordfish.
The efficiency was much worse than Lu Xuan’s before. Especially when he noticed that Lu Xuan’s eyes were almost red after he kept catching fish.
“Fellow Taoist Lu, I have been fishing for half my life, but I have never met a master. When I see you today, I am resigned to being inferior. Please teach me, Taoist friend!”
“It’s not about teaching, it’s about communicating with each other.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“It’s a coincidence that the reason why I was able to catch sea fish and sea beasts so quickly has a lot to do with my experience as a spiritual planter.”
“In the sect, I have studied a lot of information about monsters and beasts, and I know their living habits, preferences, etc. well, including some sea fish and sea beasts.”
Lu Xuan said casually that it was impossible for him to reveal his special ability, so he made up a reason with similar principles and told Shi Zhong.
Lu Xuan’s words gave Shi Zhong a new perspective on the spiritual plant masters that he usually looked down upon, and he even had the urge to study monsters after returning to the sect.
“It’s difficult for ordinary spiritual planters to do it.”
Lu Xuan replied.
“But I have a plug-in.”
He added in his mind.
Seeing that Shi Zhong still couldn’t believe it, Lu Xuan pointed at the half-dead monster insect in the wooden box.
“Friend Shi Dao has been fishing for many years and has rich experience. He must know how to catch the bony swordfish in the sea.”
“Know a thing or two.”
“Bony swordfish likes to eat all kinds of monster insects, and has the habit of hunting monster insects in moving state. Therefore, the faster the monster insect bait moves in the water, the more likely it is to catch the boney swordfish.”
Speaking of this, Shi Zhong said confidently.
“Fellow Daoist Shi is indeed well-informed, but there is one thing you may not be aware of. In addition to loving fast-moving monster insects, the bony swordfish also has another characteristic.”
“That’s why I particularly prefer the kind of fresh and vigorous monster insects.”
Lu Xuan generously imparted the information he learned.
“The monster insect in the wooden box, Fellow Daoist Stone, has been captured for a long time, and it is injured to some extent, so even if it is alive, it is only a breath of life, half dead.”
“I use healing techniques to restore their vitality, and then use these lively monster insects to fish for bony swordfish. It will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.”
“I see… Indeed, this point is extremely easy to overlook.” Shi Zhong murmured to himself.
Lu Xuan cleared away the fog in his heart with just a few words, and he felt a sense of openness as if the clouds were opening and the moon was visible.
“In addition, the baits favored by various marine fish are slightly different. All anglers have to do is to bait accordingly.”
Lu Xuan introduced in detail the types of bait that different sea fish and sea creatures prefer.
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu, for teaching me and clarifying my doubts.”
Shi Zhong solemnly thanked him. Lu Xuan’s words were no less important to him than a high-level martial art.
“Fellow Daoist Lu is so kind and kind, Shi must be well rewarded.”
“Fellow Daoist Lu, if you have any requests, feel free to ask for them. As long as they don’t involve sect secrets and don’t endanger the safety of me and the sect, I will try my best to satisfy you.”
“Then I won’t be polite.”
Lu Xuan smiled.
“I happen to have something I want to ask Fellow Taoist Shi about.”
“Fellow Daoist Shi came to this archipelago before me. I wonder if you have heard any news about third-grade and above spiritual fluids?”
“Third-grade spiritual liquid? Didn’t Fellow Daoist Lu just buy a bottle of Xuanyuan Heavy Water from the Aurora Chamber of Commerce? Is there still something missing?”
“I’ve recently been trying to cultivate and improve some spiritual plants. I need to experiment with different spiritual liquids for comparison, so I want to collect some high-grade spiritual liquids as much as possible.”
Naturally, Lu Xuan would not tell Shi Zhong truthfully that he was using it to cultivate fifth-grade dragon bones grass.
“Third-grade spiritual liquid and above… I don’t have this kind of treasure with me, but I did hear about it. I will confirm it again after I return to the island and give you an answer next time, Fellow Daoist Lu.”
Shi Zhong pondered for a moment and said.
“Okay, then I’d like to thank you, Fellow Daoist Shi.”
Lu Xuan said gratefully that it was quite good for him to be able to exchange some information about sea fish of little value for information about high-grade spiritual liquid.
