You practice immortality, I farm 2

Chapter 900 Novice Protection Period

Lu Xuan came to the dark fish and held it down with one palm. The giant fish suddenly became unable to move and lay obediently on the ground.

He put it into an ordinary spirit beast bag and hung it around his waist.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this Dark Blind Fish tastes great, but there is one thing you need to be careful about. You must prepare it well before cooking to flush out the True River Aura in the Spirit Fish. Otherwise, if you eat too much, it will have an adverse effect on the cultivator."

Shi Zichen's expression straightened and he reminded.

"Okay, Lu will pay attention to it."

Lu Xuan smiled.

Catching a fourth-grade spirit fish so easily made him feel happy at the moment.

Shi Zichen returned to his Wu Yao Spiritual Pole, holding the fifth-grade spiritual pole in his hand, feeling uncomfortable.

“If you don’t catch any fish, all the good equipment is useless.”

He adjusted his mindset and continued to sit by the river bank, fishing quietly.

But within two days, there was movement from Lu Xuan again.

Turning around, I saw the handsome young man holding the fishing rod high in his hand, pulling with a giant fish.

"Another dark-eyed fish? Have we discovered the dark-eyed fish's lair?"

Shi Zichen thought secretly in his heart.

Although the Dark Dream Fish is only a fourth-grade species and is not considered rare in the Qianbao River, it is still a high-level spiritual fish after all.

For the many monks who stayed by the river for a long time to fish for treasures, catching a dark fish was considered a good harvest.

It's better than nothing.

"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Lu is so proficient in fishing that he caught the second Dark Blind Fish in such a short time."

He came to Lu Xuan's side, with a hint of sourness in his tone.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, thank you for your praise."

"Lu once heard a rumor that cultivators who try fishing for the first time always catch various spiritual fish for unknown reasons. This is called the novice protection period."

“Perhaps this is what Lu is like now.”

A smile appeared on Lu Xuan's face, and he took the second dark fish off the agarwood hook.

This second one looked obviously larger than the first one. Dark light flowed on its many scales, and it sprayed water arrows towards Lu Xuan, revealing its ferocious nature.

"possible."

Shi Zichen nodded and could only use this reason to comfort himself.

He returned to his fishing spot and moved towards Lu Xuan without leaving a trace.

Lu Xuan seemed not to see it and continued to stay in his original position, using the special bait he had prepared to lure the dark fish in the depths of the Zhen River.

Perhaps because there were a limited number of spirit fish below, the third spirit fish arrived a little later than the first two.

It wasn't until the tenth day of fishing that he caught his third darkfish.

“Three!!”

Now, Shi Zichen could no longer sit still. He came to Lu Xuan and sighed deeply.

"Perhaps Lu has a connection with this dark fish, or perhaps the bait I bought from the fish shop owner just happens to be loved by this spiritual fish."

"Of course, the most likely scenario is that the location chosen by Mr. Lu happened to have a lot of dark fish, so he was able to catch three easily."

Lu Xuan pondered for a moment and said.

He was extremely secretive when preparing the bait earlier, and Shi Zichen focused all his attention on the float, so he did not attract the other party's attention.

"It is your good fortune that Fellow Daoist Lu was able to catch these three spirit fish. I am just a little unbalanced. I don't have any other thoughts."

Seeing Lu Xuan's attitude, Shi Zichen hurriedly explained.

"I understand, I understand. They are just three fourth-grade spirit fish. Any treasure that Fellow Daoist Shi catches 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 caught a fish, I felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction."

"Especially high-level spiritual fish like the Dark Blind Fish."

“I wonder what it will be like to fish up a fifth-grade or even higher-grade treasure in the future.”

Lu Xuan thought secretly in his heart.

With that special ability, he was confident that with adequate preparation, he could catch higher-grade spiritual fish, aquatic beasts, and other creatures.

"If you catch any rare spiritual fish or water monster, you can try to raise it yourself."

"There are countless treasures of mysterious origins in the True River. I wonder if there's a chance to fish up one or two high-level spirit seeds."

His mind was full of thoughts.

"The fact that I can prepare special bait must be kept secret. This way, I can obtain more treasures and avoid unnecessary troubles."

If the major sects knew that Lu Xuan possessed this special ability, they would most likely force Lu Xuan to serve them.

He is naturally casual and doesn't like being constrained, so he tries to avoid that kind of situation as much as possible.

"After we get back, try to collect some spiritual bamboo seedlings or spiritual seeds to create a higher quality spiritual pole. The fishing line and fish hook can also be upgraded."

Lu Xuan thought secretly that the black jade spirit rod in his hand was only of the fourth grade after all. When fishing for high-level treasures, it might not be able to withstand the pressure. It was necessary to get better fishing gear.

After catching the third dark fish, Lu Xuan sat there for another five days, and no information about the dark fish appeared in his mind.

He guessed that all the dark fish in this area had been caught by him, so he thought about leaving.

"Spiritual fish are good, but you can't get addicted to them. Spiritual plants are the most important."

"The spiritual plants in the Thunder Fire Cave are about to mature."

Lu Xuan thought to himself, then put away the black jade spirit pole and other treasures, and came to the middle-aged cultivator who seemed to be petrified.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, I will not accompany you any longer. Here is a dark fish as a gift to you. I hope you can catch a better spiritual fish monster in the future."

He took out a dark fish from his storage bag and placed it in front of Shi Zichen.

"Friend Lu, you have caught three fourth-grade spiritual fish in less than half a month. Your success rate is so high. Why don't you consider catching a few more?"

Shi Zichen was not in a hurry to take the dark fish, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"No, Lu remembers that fellow Daoist reminded me at the beginning not to indulge in it and neglect my practice."

Lu Xuan had a strange smile on his face, which seemed to hint at something.

"Of course, the more important thing is that there are many spiritual plants planted in Lu's cave, which need to be carefully cultivated. If they are left uncultivated for a long time, it will not be conducive to their growth."

His expression straightened and he 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, Fellow Daoist Lu. I will take advantage of your good fortune and eat this dark-blind fish."

"It's just right for me to use the bottle of spiritual wine that Daoyou gave me earlier."

The fact that Lu Xuan gave away a fourth-grade spirit fish so easily made him feel quite favorable towards him.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, goodbye. We'll see you later."

Lu Xuan bowed his hands, 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 where he was, staring at the fishing float floating in the Zhen River without blinking.

Soon, he put away the Wu Yao spirit rod and calmly came to the place where Lu Xuan had been fishing before.
