You practice immortality, I farm 2

Chapter 916: Silver-Horned Giant Fish
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Shi, I have something I want to ask you."

"Brother Daoist Lu, please feel free to speak."

Shi Zichen had just drunk a small bottle of Ice Marrow Spirit Brew and was extremely polite to Lu Xuan.

"I heard that demons and evil creatures are often caught in the Qianbaozhen River. Is this true?"

"I am only a spiritual plant master. If I were to accidentally run into a demon, I would probably be in danger of death. So I would like to ask Daoist Fellow Shi, how should I avoid the evil things of demons?"

Lu Xuan asked doubtfully.

He has three soul worm fungi that are extremely attractive to demons, but he is worried that his own strength is not enough. If he fishes them up rashly, it will bring risks. Therefore, he wants to get more information from Shi Zichen, a veteran fisherman.

However, he considered that if the other fellow Taoist himself had a strong interest in fishing for monsters, it would most likely arouse suspicion, so he asked in return.

"Friend Lu, don't worry. There are indeed demons and evil spirits in the Qianbao True River, but they are extremely rare."

"Usually it only lurks in some special locations, or when the spiritual tide erupts, the probability of its appearance will be higher."

"Therefore, when fishing for treasures normally, the possibility of encountering demons or evil things is very small."

Shi Zichen explained in detail.

"I see."

Lu Xuan nodded lightly.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shi, for clearing up my confusion. I am itching to try my luck too."

He bowed to Shi Zichen.

"I wish Fellow Daoist Shi can catch enough spiritual fish and aquatic beasts."

Afterwards, he walked down the river bank for several miles, chose a suitable location, and took out the black jade spirit rod and bait.

After everything was ready, he swung the spirit pole with force. Spiritual light flowed on the surface of the pole and it suddenly stretched to more than ten feet. The fishing line made of ice silk with the agarwood hook fell into the Qianbao River.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

"How strange! Is there no dark fish in this area of ​​water?"

Lu Xuan showed a puzzled look on his face, and raised his arm with force. The agarwood hook with the bait on it emerged from the deep bottom of the water.

In order to catch the dark fish this time, he deliberately sprinkled a lot of special bait, but he didn't expect that no fish would bite the hook.

"Then let's think of other ways and switch to the ordinary bait first."

Although ordinary fish bait is not very attractive to a certain type of spirit fish, it is generally attractive to most spirit fish and can increase the probability of spirit fish biting the hook.

After the spirit fish bites the agarwood hook, he can understand the detailed information of the spirit fish and make targeted arrangements.

After changing the bait, his mind was always on the agarwood hook.

Five days later, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind.

[Black Corpse Fish, a fourth-grade spiritual fish, has a simple intelligence, and contains a variety of evil corpse qi in its body. It likes to eat the rotten flesh of monsters and monks, and has a strong ability to pollute. After ingestion, it is likely to mutate. ]

"unlucky!"

“I didn’t expect that the treasure was gone, but I was bitten by a spirit fish with a lot of corpse qi.”

Lu Xuan sighed secretly.

The black corpse fish has an extremely strong polluting ability, even the evil spiritual plants in the Fengyuan Star Cave cannot absorb it.

There is no use in fishing it out. Instead, it would take up energy to deal with the large amount of corpse qi. Lu Xuan simply didn't want it to take the bait.

He exerted force and threw the fishing hook up, and used his spiritual power to shoot the bait into the real river through the air.

After clearing away the faint corpse qi remaining on the black jade spirit pole, he came to Shi Zichen and watched him fishing for a long time before returning to his own position.

The spirit pole was thrown out, the hook dropped, and the black corpse fish had disappeared, and no detailed information about it appeared. Lu Xuan was very patient, quietly waiting for the new spirit fish to bite the hook.

Five days later, another thought came to his mind.

[Silver Horn Giant Fish, a fourth-grade spiritual fish, is huge in size and weighs several thousand pounds. It has a simple intelligence and a giant horn on its head. It contains a pure thunder spirit aura. It likes to eat all kinds of thunder-related treasures. After the fish meat is processed, the thunder spirit aura can temper the bodies of cultivators and monsters and increase the strength of the physical body.]

"Good! It's shipped!"

Lu Xuan suddenly became excited.

The fishing float floating in the turbulent river looked extremely calm, but he already knew that there was a fourth-grade spirit fish underneath, on the verge of taking the bait.

"gone?"

After a while, when his mind fell into the True River, that thought no longer appeared.

Lu Xuan looked calm and confident that he could catch the giant silver-horned fish.

The creatures in the Qianbaozhen River have undergone certain changes in their souls and bodies due to being washed by the special river water for a long time.

Its intelligence has become extremely simple, not at all as smart as ordinary fourth-grade or fifth-grade high-level monsters, and only some basic instincts remain.

If you want to get it out of the Qianbaozhen River, you can basically only do it by fishing.

Monks cannot enter the Thousand Treasures River. If they accidentally fall in, they will quickly lose their minds, or be eaten directly by the various creatures inside, or become the target of others' fishing thousands of years later.

If you use fishing nets to catch them, the feasibility is not very high.

After all, the number of spiritual fish and water beasts in the Zhen River is not large compared to the entire water area, and the possibility of catching spiritual fish and water beasts with one net is very small.

Furthermore, finding a fishing net that can be used to catch high-level spiritual fish and aquatic beasts is much more difficult than finding a fishing rod with the same effect.

Perhaps only the large sects would be willing to spend such money.

For ordinary monks who fish for treasures, the most cost-effective way is to use the most primitive fishing rod.

In the eyes of those spiritual fish and water beasts with the instinct to eat, the temptation of bait is much greater than that of fishing nets and magical tools.

After the spirit fish and water beasts bite the hook, what remains is the struggle between them.

The cultivator's physical body, soul, the grade of the spirit pole, the treasure used to capture, timing... are all factors that can affect whether or not one can catch fish.

Of course, the most difficult part is to get the spirit fish and water beasts to take the bait.

However, this is not a big problem for Lu Xuan.

He can make timely and precise adjustments based on the preferences of various spirit fish and aquatic beasts, maximizing the effect of the bait, thereby dramatically increasing the number of spirit fish and aquatic beasts that can be attracted.

"A giant silver-horned fish weighing thousands of kilograms, even if the inedible parts are removed, can still provide a full meal for all the spirit beasts in the cave."

Lu Xuan said secretly in his heart.

"There are several kinds of thunder-attributed treasures in the gluttonous insect capsule. Let's use the thunderstorm lotus seeds."

He has worked in the Leihuoxing Cave for many years and collected a wealth of thunder-related treasures.

Thunderstorm Lotus Seeds, Thunder Death Crystal, Yimu Green Thunder Liquid, Dark Green Thunder Liquid...

After much thought, I think the fourth-grade Thunderstorm Lotus seeds are the most cost-effective.

Lu Xuan stretched out his palm, and five or six silver-white lotus seeds quietly appeared in his palm.

He clenched his fists, and the silver-white lotus seeds instantly shattered into fine powder, with tiny wisps of lightning appearing from time to time.

Then he took out another portion of bait and mixed the silver powder into it.

In this way, it becomes a special bait that the giant silver-horned fish must eat.
