Seeing Shi Zhong so serious about wanting to learn fishing from him, Lu Xuan couldn’ t help but feel stunned.
“Friend Stone, there’s no need for such formality-1 was just lucky.” “Previously, I had no experience fishing for sea fish and sea beasts. My recent streak of catching several Many -bone Arrow Fish may just be what some people call the ‘beginner’s luck’.”
Lu Xuan helped Shi Zhong up and said gently.
“Really?”
Shi Zhong was skeptical. Lu Xuan’s consecutive catches of Many-bone Arrow Fish was indeed challenging to explain logically. People could only attribute it to good fortune.
“Ahem…”
“Friend Lu, where I was fishing, the wind was somewhat strong. After being exposed to it for a long time, I feel a bit uncomfortable. Can we switch fishing spots?”
He coughed lightly and boldly made his request.
“Sure, we can do as Friend Stone wishes.
Lu Xuan agreed without batting an eye.
The men swapped positions.
Shi Zhong sat down cheerfully, even bringing four fishing rods, each hook baited with a different demon insect.
Lu Xuan leisurely arrived at the wooden platform where Shi Zhong had been before. He grabbed a handful of fish bait, covered the hook with it, and cast it into the deep sea.
About half a quarter of an hour later, Lu Xuan’s acute Spiritual Sense detected movement on the hook. He jerked the rod, and a frightful sea fish splashed onto the sea surface. Within moments, it dove back into the deep water, disappearing without a trace.
Lu Xuan was unfazed. The moment the sea fish bit into the bait, he had already gleaned a thorough understanding of its condition. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
After carefully observing the bait in the box and shaping a new piece, Lu Xuan casually cast his rod into the distant sea water.
Soon, the sea fish were again drawn to the bait that Lu Xuan had specially formulated. Unable to resist the enticing aroma of the bait, the sea fish cautiously bit into it after a few attempts.
Lu Xuan, fully prepared, instantly turned his arm into what looked like shiny white jade. He grabbed the fishing rod and yanked it up, and a ferocious sea fish was quickly reeled in.
“Friend Lu surely has the knack for this. Not long after we swapped spots, you’ve already hooked another second-grade sea fish.”
The woman cultivator, who had been cultivating all the time, opened her eyes and a small smile appeared on her lips as she commented.
“Haha, just luck, just luck.”
Lu Xuan laughed. He put the fish into the Rune Pool, then went back to his fishing spot on the wooden platform.
Throughout the fishing process, he wasn’t worried about the bait being eaten by sea fish or monsters.
On the contrary, he was more concerned about the fish and monsters not biting.
As long as they ate the bait he had thrown in, he could understand their detailed information, including habits, preferences, and so on.
Then, based on the information obtained, he would make slight adjustments to the bait, greatly enhancing the attractiveness of the bait to various sea fish and sea beasts.
The more sea fish and sea beasts were attracted, the more would be hooked. In this way, his frequency of catching sea fish and sea beasts became faster and faster. Eventually, he only had to cast out the fishing rod before a fish was hooked.
To save time releasing the fish, Lu Xuan even ordered a Qi-Cultivator to transfer the sea fish into the pool.
Although the frequency of catches was slightly less than when he was fishing for Many-bone Arrow Fish, compared to Shi Zhong at a distance, it could be considered high-yield.
On the other hand, after swapping with Lu Xuan, it took Shi Zhong half a day to catch just one Many-bone Arrow Fish.
His efficiency was much lower than Lu Xuan’s previously. Especially after noticing Lu Xuan’s continuous successful catches, Shi Zhong’s eyes nearly turned red with envy.
“Friend Lu, I’ve been fishing for half my life, and I’ve never met any master like you. Today, I admit defeat. Please teach me!”
“I wouldn’t call it teaching, but we can certainly exchange knowledge.
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“It’s an interesting coincidence. The reason I can catch sea fish and sea beasts so quickly has a lot to do with my experience as a Spirit Plant Master” “Within my sect, I studied a lot about the demon beasts, including details about their life habits, preferences and much more. This included a variety of sea fish and sea beasts.”
Lu Xuan casually mentioned this. He couldn’t possibly disclose his unique abilities, so he invented a reason similar to his real abilities and told it to Shi
Zhong.
“Spirit Plant Masters have such skills?” Lu Xuan’s words enlightened Shi Zhong about the abilities of the Spirit Plant Masters, which he had somewhat looked down upon. It even kindled a strong desire within him to study demon beasts once he returns to his sect.
“Ordinary Spirit Plant Masters may find it difficult.”
Lu Xuan replied.
“Unfortunately, I have an ace up my sleeve.”
He added silently to himself.
Seeing Shi Zhong still unable to believe, Lu Xuan pointed to the half-dead demon insect in the wooden box.
“Friend Shi, you’ve been fishing for many years with abundant experience. You must know how to fish for Many-bone Arrow Fish in the sea.”
“I have a little understanding.”
“Many-bone Arrow Fish enjoy devouring various demon insects and have a habit of hunting those in motion. So, if the speed of a demon insect bait in the water is faster, it is more likely to be able to hook Many-bone Arrow Fish.” Talking about this, Shi Zhong spoke confidently.
“Friend Shi, you indeed have extensive knowledge, but there’s one thing you may not know. Besides enjoying fast-moving demon insects, Many-Bone Arrow Fish have another characteristic.”
“That is, they particularly love fresh demon insects brimming with life.” Lu Xuan generously shared the information he had found.
“The demon insects in your wooden box have already been caught for a long time and have been somewhat injured. So even if they are alive, they are barely hanging on for dear life.”
“1 used a healing technique to revitalize them and then used these lively demon insects to fish for Many-bone Arrow Fish, naturally achieving twice the result with half the effort.”
“So that’s it… indeed, this is something that is easily overlooked.” Shi Zhong muttered to himself.
Lu Xuan’s few words cleared the fog of confusion in his heart, giving him a sense of revelation.
“Moreover, different types of sea fish and sea beasts enjoy different types of bait. What anglers need to do is to choose the right bait accordingly.
Lu Xuan detailed the different types of bait that various sea fish and beasts prefer.
“Thanks to Friend Lu for enlightening me.”
Shi Zhong sincerely thanked him. To him, Lu Xuan’s words are worth as much as a high-grade cultivation technique.

“With such kindness from Friend Lu, I must express my gratitude.
“Whatever Friend Lu requests, as long as it does not involve my sect’s secrets or threats to my or my sect’s safety, I will try my best to satisfy.”
“Then I won’t be polite.”
Lu Xuan laughed.
“I just happen to have something to inquire about with Friend Shi.” “You have arrived at these islands earlier than me. I wonder if you’ve heard any news about the third-grade or higher Spiritual Liquid?’ “Third-grade Spiritual Liquid? Didn’t you just get a bottle of Profound Origin Heavy Water from the Aurora Business Association? Do you still need more.” “I am currently trying to cultivate and improve some spirit plants. I need different Spiritual Liquids for experimental comparison, so I want to collect as many high-grade Spiritual Liquids as possible.”
Lu Xuan wouldn’t tell Shi Zhong exactly that he was going to use it for cultivating Fifth Rank Dragon Bone Grass.
“Third-grade or higher Spiritual Liquid… I don’t possess such treasures, but I have heard about them. After going back to the island, I’ll double-check and get back to you, Friend Lu.”
Shi Zhong pondered for a moment, then replied.
“Alright, thank you very much, Friend Shi.”
Lu Xuan gratefully responded, being able to trade some not-so-valuable sea fish information for news of high-grade Spiritual Liquids, was already pretty good for him.
