Chapter 898 The necessary steps for fishing
Lu Xuan followed the guidance of the middle-aged monk and controlled the sword light all the way down the Qianbaozhen River.
On the way, as Shi Zichen said, not every river bank can be fished for treasures. Only in certain special locations can monks fish quietly.
During this period, he met more than a dozen monks who were cultivators of alchemy. There was also a place where several monks wearing standard robes gathered together. At first glance, they were from well-known families.
When everyone saw Lu Xuan, they either glanced at him curiously or watched him warily. Of course, most of their attention was still on the fishing rod in their hands.
Lu Xuan arrived near his destination and his eyes were attracted by a simple wooden house.
There is a wooden door on the side of the wooden house facing the real river. There is a dim spiritual light at the door, and there seems to be a cave inside.
"It should be right here."
Lu Xuan secretly guessed based on the distance. He came to the wooden house gently, scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he spoke out.
"Fish shop owner, junior Lu Xuan, come over to senior to buy a set of fishing tools. If I am inconvenient, please forgive me."
"Come in." A short and hoarse voice sounded in Lu Xuan's ears.
He passed through the dim aura and saw a spacious house, much larger than what he saw from the outside.
The house is very simply decorated, with more than a dozen wooden shelves placed randomly, and there are various fishing-related treasures on the shelves.
"It seems that this wooden house is a space treasure, somewhat similar to the Thousand Machine House."
Lu Xuan secretly looked at everything in the wooden house.
Nearby, he spotted the figure of a thin old man.
The old man's cheeks were sunken and full of wrinkles. He looked extremely ordinary. His gnarled fingers were wiping a bone fishhook.
But appearing near such a magical place as the Void Thousand Treasures True River is not an ordinary thing.
Lu Xuan immediately knew the identity of the other party.
"Junior has met the fish shop owner."
He saluted respectfully.
The thin old man didn't seem to hear his words, and continued to wipe the fishhook as if no one else was watching, looking at it carefully, as if the fishhook was a rare treasure in his eyes.
Long before he came here, Lu Xuan learned about the shopkeeper's temperament from Shi Zichen, so he didn't care and just looked around.
Lu Xuan did not dare to hide anything in front of True Lord Yuanying and spoke truthfully.
"Here are five hundred and thirty middle-grade spiritual stones. Please take a look at them, senior."
He took out a pile of middle-grade spiritual stones that were full of aura and sent them to the skinny old man.
"That's right."
The fish shop owner didn't look back and continued to wipe the bone fishhook in his hand.
The pile of middle-grade spiritual stones in front of him quietly disappeared, entering into some space treasure.
"Junior, take your leave."
Seeing this, Lu Xuan cupped his hands and left with a few fishing tools.
"He's quite a good fishing prospect."
After his figure disappeared, the thin old man raised his head, looked at the direction where Lu Xuan left with cloudy eyes, and sighed softly.
Lu Xuan was completely unaware of this and rushed to Shi Zichen's location with four treasures.
"Just the basic tools cost more than 50,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Fishing in the Qianbaozhen River is a bottomless pit."
He sighed secretly.
Since they were only experimental in nature, the few tools he chose were all in the middle and lower categories, but even so, they cost a lot of spiritual stones. The expenses of those senior monks who stayed on the river bank for a long time would be astonishing.
"Fishing for treasures can make the farming life here in Quanquan Dongtian a little more interesting."
"Of course, it's also to verify a conjecture in my mind."
"The first step in fishing is to attract strange beings such as spiritual fish and water animals and let them swallow the bait."
"This is a necessary step, and at the same time, it also completes the breeding process."
"Perhaps, I can understand through the fishing rod and line, as well as the terrifying Qianbaozhen River water, what exactly is the being that bit the fishhook?"
"If it's feasible, that's a big advantage for me."
Lu Xuan secretly thought in his heart that he could know exactly what he had caught without spiritual knowledge, just by mental exploration.
Then, you can avoid some risks caused by evil spirits. At the same time, you can also provide targeted bait according to the preferences of spiritual fish, aquatic animals, and strange species to easily catch them.
