You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 306

Seeing Shi Zhong being so cautious and wanting to learn fishing from him, Lu Xuan couldn't help but be surprised.

"Daoist Shi, there's no need for such formality. I just got lucky."

"Before this, I had no experience in fishing for sea beasts and fish. This time, catching several Multi-Bone Arrow Fish in a row might just be the legendary beginner's luck."

Lu Xuan spoke gently, lifting Shi Zhong's spirits.

"Is that so?"

Shi Zhong was half doubtful, finding it hard to explain Lu Xuan's continuous fishing of Multi-Bone Arrow Fish using ordinary logic. He could only attribute it to luck and fortune.

"Cough cough..."

"Lu, the wind at my position is a bit strong, and it's uncomfortable after being blown for a long time. Can we switch fishing spots?"

He cleared his throat, shamelessly asking.

"Sure, let's do as you wish."

Lu Xuan didn't mind at all, readily agreeing.

The two exchanged positions.

Shi Zhong sat down eagerly, bringing four fishing rods with him, each hook adorned with different demonic insects.

Lu Xuan calmly arrived at the wooden tower where Shi Zhong was previously located, casually grabbed a lump of bait, wrapped it around the fishing hook, and dropped it into the deep sea.

After about half a moment, he keenly sensed movement from the fishing hook. With a strong pull, a ferocious sea fish fell onto the sea surface with a slap, then instantly dived back into the deep water, disappearing without a trace.

Lu Xuan paid it no mind. As soon as the sea fish took the bait, he already understood its detailed state.

After carefully observing the bait in the box, he casually formed a new bait, cast the fishing rod into the distant sea, and soon enough, the sea fish was once again attracted by Lu Xuan's specially formulated bait. Unable to resist the strong temptation of the bait, it bit down deeply.

Lu Xuan was prepared long ago. In an instant, his arm turned into translucent white jade-like material, grabbing the fishing rod and pulling it up fiercely, bringing out a ferocious sea fish.

"Daoist Lu is indeed skilled. After switching positions, you've caught another second-grade sea fish in just a moment."

The fierce female cultivator, who had been practicing all along, opened her eyes and smiled.

"Haha, it's just luck."

Lu Xuan laughed, putting the strange fish into the runic water pool and returning to the wooden tower to continue fishing.

During the fishing process, he wasn't worried at all about the bait being eaten by sea beasts and fish.

Instead, he was more worried about not catching any sea beasts or fish.

As long as they ate the bait he laid down, he could understand their detailed information, including their habits, preferences, and so on.

Then, based on the information obtained, he could make subtle adjustments to the bait, greatly enhancing its allure to various sea beasts and fish.

The more sea beasts and fish he attracted, the more would be caught.

In this way, the frequency of him catching sea beasts and fish became faster and faster. Towards the end, as soon as he dropped the fishing rod, sea fish would bite.

To save time on baiting, Lu Xuan even commanded a Qi refining cultivator to specifically bring the sea fish into the water pool.

Although the frequency of catching sea beasts and fish was slightly lower than that of fishing for Multi-Bone Arrow Fish, compared to Shi Zhong in the distance, it could still be considered highly productive.

On the other side, after changing to Lu Xuan's position, Shi Zhong only managed to catch a Multi-Bone Arrow Fish after half a day of effort.

Compared to Lu Xuan's efficiency before, it was much lower, especially when Shi Zhong noticed Lu Xuan continuously catching fish, he felt a pang of jealousy.

"Daoist Lu, I've been fishing for many years and haven't met a master. Today, I've met one, and I'm willing to learn from you!"

"To say teaching is too much, let's just exchange ideas."

Lu Xuan smiled and said.

"It's a coincidence. The reason I can catch sea beasts and fish so quickly after changing positions is closely related to my experience as a spiritual plant cultivator in the sect."

"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 sea beasts and fish."

Lu Xuan casually said, as he couldn't reveal his special ability, so he made up a reason similar to the principle to tell Shi Zhong.

"Spiritual plant cultivators also have this ability?"

Lu Xuan's words gave Shi Zhong a new perspective on spiritual plant cultivators, whom he had somewhat looked down upon before. He even felt an urge to study demonic beasts after returning to the sect.

"Ordinary spiritual plant cultivators find it difficult."

Lu Xuan replied.

"But I have an assist."

He added silently in his heart.

Seeing that Shi Zhong still couldn't believe it, Lu Xuan pointed to the half-dead demonic insects in the wooden box.

"Daoist Shi has been fishing for many years and has rich experience. Presumably, you understand how to fish for Multi-Bone Arrow Fish in the sea."

"I know a thing or two."

"Multi-Bone Arrow Fish love to eat various demonic insects and have a habit of hunting mobile state demonic insects. Therefore, the faster the demonic insect bait moves in the water, the more likely it is to catch Multi-Bone Arrow Fish."

Speaking of this, Shi Zhong confidently explained.

"Daoist Shi does have broad knowledge, but there's one thing you might not be aware of. Besides preferring fast-moving demonic insects, Multi-Bone Arrow Fish also have a characteristic."

"That is, they particularly favor lively, vigorous demonic insects."

Lu Xuan generously shared the information he had acquired.

"The demonic insects in Daoist Shi's wooden box have been captured for some time and are somewhat injured. Even if they're alive, they're only barely hanging on."

"I used healing techniques to restore their vitality, and then used these lively demonic insects for fishing Multi-Bone Arrow Fish. Naturally, the effect was twice the result with half the effort."

"I see... Indeed, this point is often overlooked." Shi Zhong muttered to himself.

With just a few words from Lu Xuan, the fog in his mind was dispelled, giving him a feeling of clarity.

"Besides, the bait preferred by various sea beasts and fish has subtle differences, and the fisherman's job is to bait according to the symptoms."

Lu Xuan detailed the different types of bait preferred by different sea beasts and fish.

"Thank you, Daoist Lu, for teaching me."

Shi Zhong thanked sincerely. Lu Xuan's words were like a high-level cultivation technique in his heart.

"Daoist Lu has shown great kindness, and I must repay it properly."

"Daoist Lu, if you have any requests, feel free to ask. As long as it doesn't involve sect secrets or endanger me and the sect's safety, I will try my best to fulfill it." "In that case, I won't be polite."

Lu Xuan smiled.

"It just

so happens that I want to ask Daoist Shi something."

"Shi arrived at this group of islands before me. I don't know if you've heard any news about third-grade or higher spiritual fluids?"

"Third-grade spiritual fluids? Didn't Lu Xuan just obtain a bottle of Profound Primordial Water from the Aurora Merchant Alliance? Is it not enough?"

"I've been trying to cultivate and improve some spiritual plants recently and need different spiritual fluids for experimental comparison, so I want to collect as much high-grade spiritual fluid as possible."

Naturally, Lu Xuan wouldn't tell Shi Zhong the truth that he was using it to cultivate the Five-Grade Dragon Bone Grass.

"Third-grade or higher spiritual fluids... I don't have such treasures on me, but I have heard some rumors. After returning to the island, I will confirm again and give you an answer next time."

After pondering for a moment, Shi Zhong said.

"Okay, thank you, Daoist Shi."

Lu Xuan expressed his gratitude. Being able to exchange some low-value sea fish information for news of high-grade spiritual fluids was already quite good for him.
