Chapter 304: Poor students have a lot of stationery
Chapter 304 – The poor student has a lot of stationery
The next two finale auction items were a third-grade technique and a fourth-grade artifact, which Lu Xuan wasn’t much interested in and coldly watched the other cultivators scrambling for them.
The auction ended, he delivered 3,800 spirit stones, obtained the Rock Armor Turtle Turtle Egg and Xuan Yuan Heavy Water from the Aurora Chamber of Commerce, and left with Song Yun.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, please stay.”
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him, turning his head to look, he only saw that lazy youth from the Leaving Mountain Sect was standing not far away, next to a female cultivator with a stern temperament.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, it’s better to choose a day than to crash it, why don’t we go sea fishing together today?”
Shi Zhong warmly invited.
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but hold his forehead.
He had come out of the auction house and imagined several scenarios, such as the Aurora Chamber of Commerce behind the auction going dark, or Ning De Mountain setting up an ambush somewhere, or some other cultivators getting up to thievery and teaming up to grab the Xuan Yuan Heavy Water ……
However, the only thing that did not occur to him was that Shi Zhong would come and invite himself to go fishing for sea fish and sea beasts in the Boundless Sea.
He secretly pondered in his heart.
He and Shi Zhong, as well as the Ling Li female cultivator next to him, were all large sects over to station here cultivators, without any conflict of interest, and to some extent, also stood on the same front.
The Boundless Sea seldom appeared in the sea near the sea beasts of the third grade, in his hand with a number of sword talismans of the fourth grade such as the Star Meteor Sword Talisman, coupled with a variety of magical weapons and treasures, he had full confidence to cope with two people at the same time to attack the joint situation.
“Good, then I’ll accompany Fellow Daoist Shi over there to have some fun.”
Lu Xuan agreed cheerfully, he had a not-so-small interest in the Boundless Sea’s sea beasts and sea fish categories, as well as the spiritual plants in the sea.
He instructed Song Yun.
“I’ll go to the sea island to fish for sea fish and demonic beasts together with Daoist Shi from the Li Shan Sect, you return to the Empty Underworld Island on your own, be careful on the way.”
“Yes, Elder Lu!”
Song Yun replied respectfully.
He and the Ling Li female cultivator stepped onto one of Shi Zhong’s third-grade flying boat spells.
The flying boat was like an arrow that had left the string, speeding towards its destination.
On the way, he learned from Shi Zhong that the female cultivator’s name was Zhou Bingyu, and that she was also a sect disciple by birth.
Moments later, the flying boat stopped at a remote island.
“Here we are, Fellow Daoist Lu.”
“Since I arrived at the Boundless Sea, I have been searching around on the nearby islands and finally found such an excellent island.”
“This island is called Changfeng Island, and the surrounding sea beasts and sea fishes are many and varied, and there’s even no shortage of divine spirit fishes like Dragon Carp, making it a natural fishing occasion.”
Mentioning fishing for sea fish and sea beasts, the lazy youth looked much more serious all of a sudden, and his eyes blossomed with a confident light.
“Fellow Daoist Shi is quite leisurely.”
Lu Xuan looked around the island and simply commented.
“It can’t be helped, coming out to station on a bitterly cold island like this one is really fading out, so I have to find something to do.”
“Whether it’s the aura or resources here, or cultivators of the same rank, there is a world of difference between here and in the sect, occasionally seeing a few small families or scattered cultivators originating from the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, there’s not much to share in common, one and all of them are pretentious, and don’t want to say more than a couple of words with them.”
Shi Zhong skimmed his lips, and between his words, he had the unique arrogance and superiority of the upper sect cultivators.
Lu Xuan disagreed with this, he had always been a shut-in, and had never had the chance to meet the other Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Islands.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, come and show you my treasures.”
Coming from a similar background and being a comparable age cultivator, Shi Zhong had great recognition for Lu Xuan and took out the last ten fishing rods from his storage bag.
“These fishing rods are all made of spirit wood, both hardness and toughness, and can cope with different grades and varieties of sea fish and sea beasts.” “Especially this one, forged from third grade spirit wood, even if it pulls with fourth grade sea beasts, it can still cope.”
Shi Zhong gave Lu Xuan a detailed introduction of the more than ten fishing rods floating in mid-air.
Lu Xuan looked around and accidentally realized that one of the raw materials for the fishing rod looked extremely familiar and had been planted a long time ago, it was none other than the Copper Bone Bamboo of the Second Grade.
“Not only the fishing rods, these fishing lines are also not mortal, refined from silk threads produced by various spiders and silkworm demonic insects.”
“This third grade Blood Jade Spider spider silk condensed into a fishing line, even a ten thousand kilograms of huge force can’t tear it off.”
Shi Zhong pointed at a faintly invisible light red silk thread and said.
“There are also these fishhooks, all of which are also forged from various kinds of Fine Iron Spirit Ore, with runes that can conceal their breath specially drawn on them.”
“After placing them into the deep sea and invoking the runes, the fishhooks will greatly dilute their presence, thus making it easier to fish up those sea beasts and sea fish.”
“Those beasts are all demonic beasts after all, with a certain amount of spiritual intelligence, if they are not handled in this manner, it will be easy for them to notice the trap.”
“There are also these fish baits ……”
Shi Zhong gushingly introduced to Lu Xuan.
As for Zhou Bingyu, familiar with this habit of his, he had already found a remote corner without a word and meditated to cultivate.
Lu Xuan looked at the wide array of fishing tackle placed in front of him, and a sentence could not help but drift through his mind:
“Poor students have a lot of stationery.”
He randomly chose that fishing rod made of copper-bone bamboo, leaped and jumped to a high building on the island.
In order to have a better fishing location, Shi Zhong even ordered his subordinate cultivators to build a tall wooden building around the island.
“Sorry, Fellow Daoist Lu, not here!”
“This wooden building is a prime spot where I often sit on weekdays, Fellow Daoist Lu should find another place.”
Shi Zhong, who was preparing the bait, shouted loudly.
Lu Xuan was unimpressed, and with his fishing rod, his figure swept past like a floating light, and in a few breaths, he stopped at a wooden building in the distance.
“Good stance!”
At the bottom, the Ling Li female cultivator could not help but exclaim under her breath when she saw this scene.
Even though Lu Xuan was an inner disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Zhou Bingyu could not help but feel a little more contempt in her heart after realizing his identity as a Spirit Plant Master.
After seeing Lu Xuan’s marvelous stance, this contempt was gone.
Lu Xuan sat on a dark yellow wooden chair, put down the copper bone bamboo fishing rod, and took out the bait.
It could be seen that Shi Zhong had put a lot of effort into cultivating the bait.
The white jade box was divided into several areas, placing fish bait made from the blood and flesh of various demonic beasts, various spiritual plants, flowers and fruits, and other materials, Lu Xuan even saw several kinds of living foreign insects, which were subdued by the runes and stayed honestly in the demarcated area.
He took out a ball of pills made of several kinds of demonic beast meat and hooked it deeply with a fish hook, and with a thought, the copper-bone bamboo fishing rod extended at a rapid speed, and the bait fell into the undulating sea.
“It would be good if fishing up a sea fish would reward a white light ball.”
Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense observed the movements of the fish bait while secretly thinking in his mind.
“In that case, one could totally become the biggest fishing man in the cultivation world.”
“Hmm? The goods came so quickly, could it be that this is the legendary Newbie Gift Pack?”
As he was thinking freely, he suddenly realized that a slight movement was coming from the bait inside the deep sea, and under his spiritual sense perception, a first-rate sea fish was constantly nibbling on the bait on the hook.
