Chapter 306: Chapter 304:1 Want to Learn Fishing_l

Lu Xuan patiently waited.

Even though there was a big temptation in front of it, the first-grade sea fish never lost its sanity. Instead, it kept gauging the surroundings while constantly testing the demon beast meat on the bait.

After some time, confirming that there was no danger, it opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth, swallowing the bait in a gulp, and then escaped far away.

“You got hooked and you’re trying to escape?”

Lu Xuan’s eyes lit up. He grabbed the Bronze Bone Bamboo Fishing Rod, controlling the fishhook with his spiritual power, tightly hooked onto the sea fish’s body, and yanked it backward with all his might.

A three-foot-long sea fish was brought up from the bottom of the sea, fell onto the wooden tower, and its dark black tail kept flapping, and its mouth full of sharp teeth was biting randomly.

Looking at the sea fish that was jumping around wildly, Lu Xuan felt quite satisfied in his heart.

The moment the sea fish was hooked, his sense of achievement peaked, only second to obtaining a light cluster reward from a mature high-grade spiritual plant.

When his spiritual sense detected the presence of the sea fish, he could try to directly control the fishhook and hook it, but the undercurrents at sea bed weakened his control over the fishing line and fishhook.

Most importantly, doing so would take away the pleasure of fishing.

Lu Xuan held the first-grade sea fish with one hand and came to a huge pool

dug by Shi Zhong.

The pool, with a length and width of more than ten feet, had various runes drawn on the surrounding stone walls, and a spiritual energy shield covering the entire water surface to prevent the sea fish and sea beasts inside from escaping.

Inside the pool, there were already four first-grade sea fish all caught by Shi

Zhong, which showed his rich experience in sea fishing.

Seeing the sea fish in Lu Xuan’s hand, Shi Zhong raised his eyebrows.

“Friend Lu has good skills, he has caught a sea fish in just a short time.”

“There are many undercurrents at the seabed, these sea fish are extremely cunning. It’s difficult to hook them directly. You can only silently wait for them to get hooked.”

“If you have no experience at all, it would be common to not catch a single sea fish or sea beast for a long time.”

Shi Zhong smiled modestly.

“Daoist Shi, you’re too kind. I’m far behind compared to you.”

Lu Xuan casually responded and continued back to the tower.

The moment that sea fish bit the bait, he already knew the detailed information about the sea fish.

Therefore, he was confident to find the most suitable bait for different types of sea fish, as well as knowing their habits.

This time, he changed the bait and took out a black ring-shaped demon worm from the White Jade Box, carefully hooked it with the fishhook, and threw it into the deep sea.

Not long after, the fishing line trembled slightly. When Lu Xuan probed into the water with his spiritual sense, a streamlined sea fish covered in long thin spikes was circling the demon worm.

Lu Xuan concentrated his mind, a thought flashed through his mind. [Many-bone Arrow Fish, a Tier-2 demonic beast, extremely fast in water.

When encountering danger, the spikes on its back can shoot out like arrows. Its attacking power is equivalent to an ordinary Second-grade Magical Artifacts.] [It’s fond of various live demon insects. The stronger and livelier the demon insects, the faster their speed, in turn, the stronger their attraction towards Many-bone Arrow Fish.)

“No matter how rich your experience is, it can’t beat my ‘assist’.”

Lu Xuan secretly exclaimed in his heart. He then conveyed a message to Shi

Zhong who was several dozen feet away.

“Daoist Shi, my spiritual awareness has detected that a unique spiritual fish has bitten on the demon insect bait I put down.”

“Unique spiritual fish? Demon insect bait?”

Shi Zhong caught the two key points in Lu Xuan’s words.

“Is it a fish that looks streamlined and its whole body is covered with spikes?”

His voice carried a touch of excitement.

“It’s similar to how you describe.”

Lu Xuan let his spiritual power seep down the fishing line, controlling the ring shaped demon worm on the fishhook to keep swimming in the water. “That’s a second-grade sea fish, the Many-Bone Arrow Fish, which is extremely fast and difficult to catch. Lu Daoist, hold it steady. I’ll come over there to help you.”

Shi Zhong hurriedly handed over the precious fishing pole made from third- grade Spirit Wood to a high-tier Qi Cultivator.

Underwater, the speed of the demon worms markedly increased, attracting the long-suppressed Many-bone Arrow Fish, unable to resist the temptation, took a bite.

A sharp pain came from its mouth, followed by a faint spiritual power infiltrating its body. Immediately after, tremendous force yanked it up in an instant.

“Friend Lu, give me your fishing rod.”

Shi Zhong tiptoed behind Lu Xuan and whispered to him.

As he watched Lu Xuan pull hard on the Bronze Bone Bamboo Fishing Rod, his heart jumped to his throat.

With a splash.

A spiky, damp sea fish dropped in front of him.

“You… you’ve already caught one?”

Shi Zhong gazed at Lu Xuan in astonishment.

“I sensed that the Many-bone Arrow Fish was hooked and, fearing missing the opportunity, 1 decided to reel it in. I didn’t expect it to catch on so quickly,” Lu Xuan said with a smile.

“Friend Lu, you’re truly lucky.”

“To catch these Many-bone Arrow Fish, you must use demon worms as bait. No other bait attracts them. The bait must be moving, otherwise, they will suppose it to be lifeless.”

Shi Zhong tossed out a black rope from his sleeve and in a moment captured the landlocked Many-bone Arrow Fish, handing it over to a high-tier Qi Cultivator to return it to the pool.

“I see, Lu Someone has learned.” Lu Xuan replied with a smile.

Deducing the favored feeding habits of the second-grade Many-bone Arrow Fish and understanding its attraction to moving bait shows the richness of Shi Zhong’s experience.’

However, even that experience seemed somewhat insufficient in front of Lu Xuan’s prowess.

As soon as Shi Zhong left, the Moonlight Pearl quietly surfaced in Lu Xuan’s sleeve.

Soft moonlight fell from the sleeve onto the demon worms in the Jade Box. Under the harsh sunlight, coupled with Lu Xuan’s careful concealment, the demon worms in the Jade Box quickly revived and regained their vitality in just a few breaths.

These worms, barely alive in the Jade Box, further debilitated after being caught on the hook, lost half of their allure to the Many-bone Arrow Fish. Now, Lu Xuan was using the Moonlight Pearl to restore their vitality to normal, then using them to bait many more fishes from the sea.

Once caught on the hook, the worms, in response to the pain, energetically jumped in the water, showing their vigorous vitality.

The vitality of these worms was more than ten times that of the previous worm, attracting several many Many-bone Arrowfish.

Lu Xuan took the fleeting opportunity when the Many-bone Arrowfish bit the demon worm and gave the Bronze Bone Bamboo Fishing Rod a hard swing.

“Second one already.”

From afar, Shi Zhong, noticing the activity in Lu Xuan’s area, started silently counting in his heart.

Seeing Lu Xuan hauling up a second-grade Many-bone Arrowfish, the first- grade sea fish Shi Zhong had just caught suddenly seemed unimportant.

“Third one! How is he so quick?!”

As Shi Zhong was baiting his hook, he sensed Lu Xuan catching another Many- bone Arrowfish. His hand trembled slightly, almost catching his own palm with the hook.

“Another one!!! Are Many-bone Arrowfish worthless?!!”

His fishing rod had barely touched the ocean surface, and he hadn’t even settled down when he saw Lu Xuan catch another second-grade Many-bone Arrowfish, which completely baffled him.

He immediately flew over to the wooden building where Lu Xuan was located, took a deep breath, and respectfully bowed:

“Friend Lu, I want to learn how to fish!!”
