I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Lu Xuan waited patiently.

With the huge temptation ahead, the first-grade sea fish did not completely lose its mind. Instead, it observed its surroundings while constantly testing the monster meat on the bait.

After a while, after confirming that there was no danger, he opened his huge mouth full of sharp teeth, swallowed it in, and ran away.

"You took the bait and still want to run away?"

Lu Xuan's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the copper-bone bamboo fishing rod. His spiritual power controlled the fishhook, tightly hooked the fish's body, and swung it back hard.

A three-foot-long sea fish was brought out from the bottom of the sea and landed on the wooden building. Its dark black tail kept flapping, and the two rows of sharp teeth in its mouth were biting randomly.

Lu Xuan looked at this lively sea fish and felt quite satisfied.

The moment the fish took the bait, his sense of accomplishment reached its peak, second only to the reward of a light cluster from a mature high-grade spiritual plant.

When the spiritual consciousness detects the existence of a sea fish, it can try to directly control the fishhook to hook it. However, the undercurrent on the seabed weakens the control of the fishing line and fishhook.

More importantly, if you do this, you will lose the pleasure of fishing.

He firmly grasped the first-class sea fish with one hand and came to a huge pool dug by Shi Zhong.

The pool is more than ten feet long and wide. Various runes are drawn on the stone walls on the front, back, left and right. There is an aura shield covering the entire water surface to prevent the fish and sea beasts inside from escaping.

At this time, there were already four first-grade marine fish in the pool, all of which were caught by Shi Zhong. It could be seen that he indeed had rich experience in fishing for marine fish.

Shi Zhong raised his eyebrows when he saw the sea fish in Lu Xuan's hand.

"Friend Lu Dao has good skills. He caught a sea fish in a short period of time."

"There are many undercurrents on the bottom of the sea, and these sea fish are so cunning that it is difficult to hook them directly with a fishhook. We can only wait quietly for them to take the bait."

“If you don’t have any experience, it’s common for you to be unable to catch a fish or sea creature for a long time.”

Shi Zhong smiled proudly.

"Fellow Daoist Shi is so complimentary. He is still far behind you."

Lu Xuan responded casually and continued to the wooden building.

The moment the sea fish bit the bait, he learned the detailed information about the sea fish.

Therefore, he is confident to find out the most suitable bait for various sea fish and their various habits.

This time he changed the bait, took out a black ring-shaped monster insect from the white jade box, carefully hooked it with a fishhook, and threw it into the deep sea.

Soon after, the fishing line trembled slightly, and Lu Xuan's spiritual consciousness penetrated into the water. A streamlined sea fish with a back covered with slender bone spurs was hovering around the monster insect.

As he concentrated his mind, a thought flashed through his mind.

[Bony Swordfish, a second-grade monster, is extremely fast in the water. When in danger, the bone spurs on its back can be shot out like sharp arrows, and its attack power is equivalent to an ordinary second-grade magic weapon. 】

[It likes to eat fresh monster insects in various moving states. The stronger the monster insects are, the more alive they are, and the faster they move, the more attractive they are to the bony swordfish. 】

"No matter how experienced you are, you are still no match for my plug-in."

Lu Xuan sighed secretly in his heart, and then sent a message to Shi Zhong, who was dozens of feet away.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, my spiritual consciousness sensed that there was a special spiritual fish on the bottom of the sea biting the monster insect bait I put down."

"Special spiritual fish? Monster insect bait?"

Shi Zhong captured two key words in Lu Xuan's words.

"But a sea fish with bone spurs all over its body and a streamlined shape?"

There was a hint of excitement in his tone.

"It's almost exactly what you described, Fellow Taoist Shi."

Lu Xuan's spiritual power penetrated down along the fishing line, controlling the ring-shaped monster insect on the fishhook to swim back and forth in the water.

"That is a second-grade marine fish with bony swordfish. It is extremely fast and extremely difficult to catch. Friend Lu Dao, be careful and steady. I will come over to help you."

Shi Zhong handed the precious fishing rod made of third-grade spiritual wood to a high-level Qi-training monk and rushed over impatiently.

Under the sea, the speed of the demonic insect suddenly increased. The bony swordfish, which had been suppressed for a long time, could not resist the temptation and bit the demonic insect in one bite.

There was a sharp pain in the mouth, and a slight spiritual power seeped into the body. Then, a huge force came and pulled it up instantly.

"Friend Lu, give me the fishing rod."

Shi Zhong stood quietly behind Lu Xuan and transmitted the message.

He watched Lu Xuan lift the copper-bone bamboo fishing rod with all his strength, and his heart rose in his throat.

There was a snap.

A sea fish covered in sharp bone spurs fell wetly in front of him.

"You...caught it now?"

Shi Zhong looked at Lu Xuan in surprise.

"I sensed that this bony swordfish was hooked, and I was afraid of wasting the opportunity, so I pulled it on my own initiative. Unexpectedly, I actually caught it."

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Lu is really lucky."

"When fishing for this kind of bony swordfish, you must use monster insects as bait. Other baits have no attraction to them. The bait must be in a moving state, otherwise they will think it is just a dead thing."

A black rope flew out of Shi Zhong's sleeves, and in an instant he tied up the bony swordfish that had lost most of its abilities on land, handed it over to a high-level Qi practitioner, and brought it back to the pool.

"I see, Lu has learned a lesson."

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

Being able to figure out the type of bait that this second-grade boney swordfish likes, and at the same time understand its habit of moving bait, it is obvious that Shi Zhong does have rich experience.

However, this experience is not enough in front of Lu Xuan's plug-in.

When Shi Zhong left, Yuehua Pearl quietly appeared in Lu Xuan's sleeve.

The silver moonlight fell from the cuffs and fell on several monster insects in the jade box.

Under the strong sunlight and Lu Xuan's deliberate concealment, the monster insect in the jade box quickly recovered and became extremely alive in just a dozen breaths.

These insects were originally placed half-dead in the jade box. After being caught by the fishhook, they were even more dying, and their allure to the bony swordfish was reduced by more than half.

Now, Lu Xuan uses Yuehua Pearl to restore his vitality to normal, and then uses it to fish for boney swordfish in the sea.

After being caught by the fishhook, the demonic insect jumped vigorously in the water under the pain, showing its strong vitality.

The freshness was more than ten times that of the last monster insect. After a while, several bony swordfish were attracted.

Lu Xuan seized the fleeting opportunity, and when the boney swordfish bit the demon insect, he swung the copper-bone bamboo fishing rod hard.

"It's the second one."

In the distance, Shi Zhong noticed the movement on Lu Xuan's side and counted secretly in his heart.

Seeing the second-grade boney swordfish that Lu Xuan was carrying, the first-grade sea fish he had just caught suddenly became irrelevant.

"Article 3! How could it be so fast?!"

Shi Zhong was baiting the fishhook when he felt that Lu Xuan had caught a bony swordfish. The fishhook in his hand trembled slightly and almost caught his palm.

"Another one!!! Is the bony swordfish so worthless?!"

As soon as the fishing rod was thrown into the sea, before it was too hot, he discovered that Lu Xuan had caught a second-grade multi-bone swordfish, which completely made him unable to calm down.

He instantly flew to the wooden building where Lu Xuan was, took a deep breath, and respectfully saluted:

"Friend Lu Dao, I want to learn fishing!!"
