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.
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 secretly thought that after all, the black jade spiritual pole in his hand was only a fourth-grade one. When fishing for high-level treasures, he might not be able to bear it. 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 Taoist Shi, Mr. Lu will not accompany you anymore. I will give you this dark fish here as a gift. I hope you can catch better spiritual fish and water monsters in the future."
He took out a dark fish from his storage bag and presented it to Shi Zichen.
"Friend Daoist Lu, you have caught three fourth-grade spiritual fish in less than half a month. The success rate is so high, don't you think about catching a few more?"
Shi Zichen was not in a hurry to take An Dingyu, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"No, Lu remembers that Taoist friend reminded me at the beginning not to indulge in it and waste my practice."
A strange smile appeared on Lu Xuan's face, which meant something.
"Of course, the more important thing is that there are many spiritual plants planted in Lu's cave, which need to be cultivated carefully. Over time, it will not be conducive to their growth."
He looked serious and continued.
"I see. It can be seen that spiritual plants are more important than fishing treasures in the eyes of Fellow Daoist Lu."
Shi Zichen nodded and took the dark fish.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu. Then Shi will take advantage of Fellow Daoist Lu's good fortune and use this dark fish to beat his teeth as a sacrifice."
"Just right, I can use the bottle of spiritual brew that fellow Taoist gave me earlier."
Lu Xuan gave away a fourth-grade spiritual fish so easily, which made him feel good.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, take your leave and see you later."
Lu Xuan raised his hands and flew into the endless void with the silver sword light.
Shi Zichen watched as Lu Xuan's figure disappeared completely, and continued to sit where he was, staring unblinking at the fish floating in the real river.
Soon, he put away the Wu Yao Spiritual Rod and came to the fishing position in front of Lu Xuan with a calm expression.
