Chapter 306 – Spiritualist’s Ability
Chapter 306 – Reiki Master’s Ability
Seeing Shi Zhong being so cautious and wanting to learn fishing from himself, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but stare.
“Fellow Daoist Shi doesn’t have to be so polite, I’m just lucky.”
“Having no previous experience in fishing for sea fish and sea beasts, this time I caught several Multi-Bone Swordfish in a row, perhaps it’s the rumored beginner’s aura.”
Lu Xuan lifted up Shi Zhong and said gently.
“Is that so?”
Shi Zhong was half believing, Lu Xuan’s behavior of continuously fishing for multi-boned swordfish like this was indeed difficult to explain with common sense, and could only be attributed to fortune, qi luck and the like.
“Cough cough ……”
“Fellow Daoist Lu, that position of mine is a bit windy, it’s a bit uncomfortable after blowing for a long time, is it possible to change the fishing position with you?”
He coughed lightly and said cheekily.
“OK, then according to fellow Daoist Shi.”
Lu Xuan didn’t care and agreed cheerfully.
The two exchanged positions with each other.
Shi Zhong sat down with gusto, purposely also bringing four fishing rods with different demonic insects hanging from each hook.
Lu Xuan unhurriedly came to the wooden building where Shi Zhong was previously, casually grabbed a ball of bait, wrapped it around the hook, and threw it into the deep seawater.
About half a moment later, his spiritual sense keenly aware of the fish hooks strange movement, force a pull, only to see a form of hideous sea fish snapped on the surface of the sea, instantly drilled into the deep water, the breath disappeared without a trace.
Lu Xuan was unimpressed, from the moment the sea fish bit on the bait, he had already understood clearly the detailed state of the sea fish.
After carefully observing the bait in the box, he casually pinched it, a new ball of bait was molded, and with a flick of his fishing rod, it landed in the distant sea water.
Not long after, the sea fish was once again attracted by Lu Xuan’s specially formulated bait, unable to resist the strong temptation of the bait, after a few tries, it bit deeply into the bait.
Lu Xuan had long been prepared, in a flash, his arm transformed into a crystalline white jade general, grabbed the fishing rod and violently lifted it, a hideous sea fish darted out.
“Fellow Daoist Lu really has a knack for it, after re-switching positions, in less than a moment another second grade sea fish was caught.”
The Ling Li female cultivator who had been practicing opened her eyes, the corner of her mouth pulled out a smile and said.
“Haha, luck luck luck.”
Lu Xuan snorted and placed the strange fish into the runic pool, continuing to return to the wooden building to fish.
During the fishing process, he wasn’t the least bit worried about the bait being eaten by the sea fish and sea beasts.
Instead, he was more worried about no sea fish or sea beasts taking the bait.
As long as they ate the bait he put down, then he would be able to understand their detailed information, including their habits, preferences, and so on.
Then, based on the information obtained, he would make subtle adjustments to the bait, greatly enhancing the bait’s allure to various sea fish and sea beasts.
The more the number of sea fish and sea animals attracted, the more they would naturally take the bait.
In this way, his frequency of catching sea fish and sea beasts became faster and faster, and at the back, even as soon as he put down his fishing rod, a sea fish would take the bait.
In order to save time in releasing the fish, Lu Xuan even ordered a Qi Practicing Cultivator to specifically bring the sea fish into the pool.
Although the frequency of catching was slightly inferior to angling for Multi-bone Arrowfish, compared to the distant Shi Zhong, it could be fully described as a high yield.
On the other side, after switching to Lu Xuan’s position, Shi Zhong only caught a Multi-bone Swordfish after half a day’s work.
It was much less efficient than Lu Xuan’s previous effort, and especially after noticing that Lu Xuan kept catching fish over here, his eyes were almost red.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, Zhong has been fishing for half a lifetime and has never met an expert, today, I am willing to bow down to you, please teach me, fellow Daoist!”
“Teaching can’t be said, exchange with each other.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“Coincidentally, the reason why I was able to catch sea fish and sea beasts so quickly has a lot to do with my experience as a Spiritual Planter.”
“In the sect, I’ve studied a lot of information on demonic beasts, and I know their habits, preferences, and so on like the back of my hand, including some of the sea fish and sea beasts.”
Lu Xuan said casually, it was impossible for him to divulge his special ability, so he made up a reason with similar principles to tell Shi Zhong. “Spirit Plant Masters still have this kind of ability?”
Lu Xuan’s words gave Shi Zhong a new perspective on the Spirit Plant Masters that he usually somewhat belittled, and even created an urge to delve into Demonic Beasts when he returned to the Sect.
“It’s difficult for ordinary Spirit Plant Masters to do so.”
Lu Xuan returned.
“Nay, I have a hang-up.”
He added another sentence internally.
Seeing Shi Zhong’s continued disbelief, Lu Xuan pointed at the half-dead demonic insect in the wooden box.
“Fellow Daoist Shi has been fishing for many years and has a lot of experience, so I’m sure he knows exactly how to fish for the Multi-Boned Arrowfish in the sea.”
“A little bit.”
“Multi-bone Wrasse love to devour all kinds of demonic insects, and have the habit of hunting moving state demonic insects, so the faster the demonic insect lure moves in the water, the more likely it is to catch Multi-bone Wrasse.”
Talking about this, Shi Zhong said with a confident look.
“Fellow Daoist Shi is indeed knowledgeable, but there is one thing that you may not be clear about, apart from loving Demon Bugs in a fast moving state, the Multi-Bone Arrowfish has another characteristic.”
“That is, it extraordinarily favors the kind of demonic insects that are fresh and have a strong vitality.”
Lu Xuan generously imparted the information he had been informed of.
“The demonic insects in Daoist Shi’s wooden box had been captured a long time ago, and were more or less injured, so even if they were alive, they were only breathing and half-dead.”
“I used a healing spell to restore their vitality, and then used these living and breathing demonic insects to fish for the Multi-Bone Arrowfish, then naturally, it would be twice as effective.”
“I see… …… Indeed this point is extremely easy to overlook.” Shi Zhong muttered.
Lu Xuan had dispelled the fog in his mind in just a few words, and there was a sense of enlightenment as the clouds opened up to the moon.
“In addition, there are subtle differences in the favorite bait of various sea fish, and all the angler has to do is to bait the right bait.”
Lu Xuan detailed the types of bait that different sea fish and sea beasts preferred.
“Many thanks to fellow Daoist Lu for teaching and explaining.”
Shi Zhong solemnly thanked, Lu Xuan’s words were no less than a high grade technique in his mind.
“Fellow Daoist Lu for such great kindness, Mister Shi must be properly rewarded.”
“Feel free to mention any requests that Fellow Daoist Lu has, as long as they don’t involve sect secrets and don’t jeopardize me as well as the safety of the sect, I’ll try my best to fulfill them.”
“I’ll be polite then.”
Lu Xuan laughed.
“It just so happens that there’s something I want to inquire about with Fellow Daoist Shi.”
“Fellow Daoist Shi came over to this archipelago before me, so I wonder if I’ve ever heard of third grade and above spirit liquids?”
“Third grade spirit liquid? Didn’t Fellow Daoist Lu just auction off a bottle of Xuan Yuan Heavy Water from the Aurora Chamber of Commerce? Could it be that it’s still missing?”
“I’ve recently been trying to cultivate and improve some spirit plants, and I need to experiment with different spirit liquids as a control, so I want to collect some high-grade spirit liquids as much as possible.”
Lu Xuan naturally wouldn’t truthfully tell Shi Zhong that he was using it to cultivate the Fifth Grade Dragon Skeleton Grass.
“Third grade and above spirit liquid …… I don’t have this kind of treasure on me, but I did hear about it, so I’ll confirm it once more when I return to the island and give you an answer next time, fellow Daoist Lu.”
Shi Zhong pondered for a moment and said.
“Good, then thank you, Fellow Daoist Shi.”
Lu Xuan said gratefully, being able to exchange some information about sea fish of little value for news about high-grade Spiritual Liquids was already quite good for him.
