No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 164 Carp Spirit

Of course Xu Shun would not easily believe Lu Xingxing's one-sided words.

It is also possible that he and the previous ghost cultivator, the exiled immortal, were at loggerheads with each other, and then made up a bunch of lies to deceive Xu Shun.

We must guard against this trend in the world of cultivating immortals.

When Lu Xingxing heard that Xu Shun wanted to eat fish, he laughed and said, "How difficult is that?"

For a fisherman, isn’t fishing easy?

So, he simply healed his wounds and found his mustard seed ring in the cave, which only contained some fishing baskets and scoop nets.

But there is no fishing rod.

His fishing rod was made of special material, and it was probably taken away together with the elixir and magic weapon in the mustard seed.

After Xu Shun saw that he had cleaned up, he used the spell "Red Flame Curse" to set off a fire, burning the entire cave.

This fire is ignited by magic and can burn even stones.

Now he is used to killing people and setting fires.

The two men came out of the smoking cave and followed the water vapor along the earth's veins to a small river.

Lu Xingxing just dipped his finger in the river water, tasted it and said, "Hmm~ I see there are no big fish in this river."

"Let's go again!"

Walking along the stream, both of them walked very fast. After walking for about an hour, they arrived at the place where the streams converged.

It is a big river.

The river was so big and wide that Lu Xingxing was delighted and said, "What a good fortune! What a good fortune!"

Such a big river must have big fish.

He didn't have a fishing rod, so he made one out of a branch. Many of his spells could polish and straighten fishing rods, which made Xu Shun marvel at them.

"My benefactor, do you want to go fishing? I'll make you a fishing rod?" He said, holding a smooth, retractable fishing rod.

You can do it with one fishing rod or two fishing rods.

Xu Shun shook his head. He didn't like fishing.

Seeing Xu Shun shaking his head, he also shook his head. He felt that Xu Shun did not have the potential to become an eternally powerful man.

He took out a basin of corn from the mustard ring, scattered it out, and started to make a nest.

Then start preparing the bait.

"Today I'm drinking Xianyu 249. Just add some water and stir until it's like this."

He took the wooden basin, scooped some river water, and stirred the bag of yellow bait.

The yellow bait turns pink after being stirred with water.

Xu Shun looked at him and didn't say anything. He just sat not far from him and watched him fishing.

Soon, the nest was made, the fishing rod was threaded with line, and the fish tag, hook and bait were hung and thrown out.

"Some people just go fishing, and if they can't catch any fish, they resort to trickery and use magic to lure the fish!" Lu Xingxing said confidently, "Unlike us, the eternal strong men, who rely entirely on skills!"

He kept on chattering about the water depth and the five-meter and seven-meter poles. Xu Shun didn't quite understand what he was saying, but he was greatly shocked.

Is fishing so particular?

But... time passed by minute by minute.

Lu Xingxing didn't catch any fish.

"This shouldn't be..." He muttered to himself, "This shouldn't be! How could there be no mouth? Is there no fish here?"

How could there be no fish in such a big river? There is only one possibility!
"The hit wasn't hard enough!"

He has only one secret to fishing, and that is to use a heavy bait.

Then he took out something similar to corn from his mustard seed ring and threw it into the river.

So he waited confidently for the fish to take the bait, and then... a long time passed.

It lasted so long that Xu Shun started looking at him with a strange look in his eyes.

He was an immortal who had lived for an unknown amount of time, so he knew the significance of Xu Shun asking him to fish.

He felt injured and very weak, and he had no magic weapon on him. Xu Shun was carrying a long sword, and he looked like he was not someone to be trifled with. Especially since Xu Shun had killed the ghost cultivator, who knows what magic weapon he might have.

You are my benefactor now, but may become my enemy later!

He wants to prove that he is really the "eternal strong man"!
So he gritted his teeth and scattered all the baits such as sorghum and soybeans in the mustard into the river! He didn't believe that he couldn't catch any fish with a bait weighing dozens of kilograms.

By the time it was dark, there was still no fish.

"Let's go! Lu Xingxing, I don't want to eat fish anymore." Xu Shun said. He saw that Lu Xingxing had not caught any fish even after laying a heavy nest, so he knew that there was something wrong with the area or Lu Xingxing.

I think that such a big and heavy nest must be caused by something wrong with the water area!
With so much bait, even a fool can catch fish.

When Lu Xingxing heard what Xu Shun said, he thought, since he doesn't eat fish, is he going to kill someone?

"Leave? Wouldn't that mean I'll be left empty-handed?" Lu Xingxing shouted, "This is a humiliation to me!"

How can a fisherman come up empty-handed?

Even if you drink a sip of river water, you can’t go airborne!
Lu Xingxing thought for a moment and said, "I'll go underwater to see what's going on!"

As he said that, he jumped into the river with a "splash"!
Is he going to run away? Xu Shun touched his sword and jumped into the river with him.

The river is deep and clear.

As soon as he reached the river, Xu Shun was shocked by the scene before him.

Not only him, but even Lu Xingxing was shocked.

A dozen or so big carps, each as long as one or two people, roamed around the area, eating the bait that Lu Xingxing had laid out for him. The fish had cunning looks in their eyes, completely ignoring Lu Xingxing's hooks and bait.

Even some small fish attracted by the bait on the hook will be thrown away by the big fish. As long as no one takes the bait, there will be fools who keep making nests!
"Fuck..." When Lu Xingxing saw this scene, he couldn't help but blurt out, and bubbles came out of his mouth!
It would be strange if we could catch fish in this situation!

Xu Shun never thought that there was a group of clever carp in this river.

When the group of carp saw Xu Shun and the other two go into the water, they swam away quickly.

"Where are you going! Where's my bait?" Lu Xingxing shouted, and another group of bubbles came out of his mouth.

With a wave of his hand, the fishing rod on the shore fell into his hand. Then he swung it, and the hook with the fishing line hooked a big carp.

I have to say that Lu Xingxing is quite good at making fishing rods.

The big carp twisted left and right, trying to escape from the fishing line, but there was no way and it was immediately tied up by the fishing line.

At this time, a big turtle swam out from the deep water, with a monk sitting on it. It threw out a water-repellent jade hook and cut the fishing line.

"I am Wang Zhibin from the Beast Taming Sect! Can you two, please let them go for my sake?" The cultivator said, "Except for them, you two can do whatever you want with the fish in this river."

"No, they ate so much of my bait! If I don't catch one, I'll be so angry." Lu Xingxing said.

He has been fishing all his life, but now he has been tricked by a few carp in the ditch. How can he swallow this?

Xu Shun looked at the dozen or so big carps behind Wang Zhibin and said, "Aren't they fish?"

Wang Zhibin saw Xu Shun, cupped his hands, and said, "Fellow Daoist, I have good eyesight. They are definitely not fish."

"They're people."

How can a person turn into a fish?
