Chapter 897 Wu Yao Ling Fish Shop Owner
“Spiritual brew? It seems to be of good quality.”
The middle-aged monk carefully examined the Jade Cleansing Spirit Dew with his spiritual sense. Although he did not notice anything abnormal, he did not drink it immediately out of caution.
“I’ll have to sit here for a long time, don’t be greedy for words, wait until I get back and taste Taoist friends’ fine wine.”
He smiled and put the bottle of Jade Cleansing Spirit Dew into his storage bag.
“Yes, fishing for treasures is more important.”
Lu Xuan nodded and said.
When the two met for the first time, he expressed his understanding of the middle-aged monk's behavior. After all, few people were more cautious than himself.
Although he didn't taste the Jade Cleansing Spiritual Dew, Lu Xuan's move still brought a considerable distance between the two of them.
Shi Zichen's attitude was obviously more enthusiastic.
“Let’s talk about fishing spots first. Choosing a suitable location is extremely important.”
“Opportunities and risks coexist in Qianbaozhen River. It is not safe for fishing monks. Monks often die in it for various reasons. In addition, the number and grade of treasures in different locations are quite different.”
“However, the top fishing spots along the Qianbaozhen River are basically occupied by those powerful sects, so casual cultivators can only retreat and look for other places.”
“In addition, the timing of fishing is also very important. The Qianbaozhen River will erupt with spiritual tides during certain special periods. At that time, the risk will increase, and at the same time, various rare treasures will also explode.”
“I once fished out a middle-grade magic weapon fragment from the Zhen River when a spiritual tide broke out.”
Shi Zichen’s face turned pale, like a fisherman who wanted to circle the whole city three times after catching a big fish.
Lu Xuan complained secretly in his heart, nodded slightly, and kept what the other party said in mind.
“Also, fishing tools are also extremely important.”
“The fishing rod must be forged from high-grade spiritual bamboo or high-grade spiritual ore, and there must be many restrictions on the rod. Reinforcement is only the most basic requirement.
Sometimes, you have to place special restrictions on the spiritual fish, aquatic beasts, or treasures you want to catch, so as to increase the certainty of successful shipment. "
“My obsidian spiritual pole is made of tens of thousands of kilograms of obsidian and mixed with various other spiritual minerals. It is of a grade as high as five. Although it has a mediocre ability against enemies, it has a powerful effect when fishing for treasures.”
Shi Zichen shook the black fishing rod in his hand, with a bit of showoff in his tone.
“He spent a lot of money to build a fishing rod. He is worthy of being a legendary fisherman.”
Lu Xuan secretly cursed in his heart, but a hint of just the right amount of envy flashed in his eyes.
“Five-grade fishing rod! Fellow Daoist Shi must have caught countless treasures from the Qianbaozhen River, right?”
…”
The middle-aged monk looked choked.
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
He said haha.
"In addition to fishing rods, fishing lines and fishing nets for collecting treasures are all very important. Shi has been outside Qianbaozhen River for many years, but he has seen many monks. Because the quality of fishing lines and fishing nets are average, they are not as good as those that were caught with great difficulty. The treasure was lost."
“Everyone beat their chests and beat their feet, feeling very upset.”
The middle-aged monk sighed with emotion.
“It’s indeed a pity.”
Lu Xuan agreed.
Although he couldn't empathize with it, he could still imagine that scene.
Having finally cultivated a high-level spiritual plant to maturity, I had great expectations for the unknown treasure. Just when I thought I could reap a generous reward, the light group dissipated before I even touched it...
It makes me suffocate just thinking about it.
“The most common ones are certain kinds of spiritual insects that are loved by spiritual fish and water animals. Certain natural and earthly treasures are also very attractive to certain water monsters, demons and the like.”
"You can even use flesh, blood, souls, etc. to fish out some magical powers and secret techniques from the real river." "Therefore, choosing the right bait is also very important."
“Finally, there are strict requirements for fishing monks.”
“The edge of the Qianbaozhen River is not considered safe. When fishing for treasures, you often need a strong physical body as support. Otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with those high-level spiritual fish and water beasts for a long time.”
“After you catch them, you need great strength to subdue and suppress them. If you lose the treasure you caught because you are outmatched by your strength, it would be a joke.”
Shi Zichen shook his head and said.
“Of course, the monk’s soul must also be strong. When fishing, there are many strange beings in the real river that will confuse the fishermen. If they have ordinary spiritual consciousness and weak willpower, they will easily fall into the depths of the real river and be doomed.”
The middle-aged monk said to Lu Xuan seriously.
“Thank you Taoist Shi for reminding me, Mr. Lu will keep it in mind.”
Lu Xuan said solemnly and gratefully.
What Shi Zichen said, although it was just some basic common sense about fishing in the Qianbaozhen River and did not involve specific information about fishing for treasures, it was of great help to him as a newbie and saved him from taking many wrong paths.
“Speaking of which, if we cultivate a high-level spiritual bamboo, forge it into a high-quality fishing rod, bring it to the Qianbaozhen River, and sell it to these fishermen, it will probably fetch a sky-high price.”
Lu Xuan thought secretly.
“Fishing for treasures is simple to say, but there are many ways inside. If fellow Lu Daoists are interested, you can explore more.”
The middle-aged monk said calmly.
“To be honest with fellow Taoist Shi, Lu really wants to try this interesting way to obtain treasures.”
Lu Xuan looked eager to try.
“Yes, fishing for treasures in the Qianbaozhen River is relatively safer than exploring the secret realm.”
“There’s just one thing. There are so many things that need to be considered to catch the treasure you want. If you’re not satisfied with one of them, it will be difficult to catch it.”
“It’s common to not catch a satisfactory treasure for decades.”
“However, remember not to indulge in it and waste your practice.”
“Shi came here to fish because he had no hope of being promoted to Nascent Soul, to see if he could find a glimmer of hope in the mysterious Qianbaozhen River.”
Shi Zichen said in a deep voice.
“Okay, Lu will not waste his practice because of this.”
Lu Xuan hurriedly said, since there is a ball of light, it doesn’t make much difference to him whether he practices or not, so he might as well enjoy fishing for treasures more.
“I will have a good place to go when I come to the Broken Cave in the future.”
He thought secretly in his heart.
Originally thought that after entering the incomplete cave, he would be a little lonely after being isolated from the world for a long time. Now with the existence of the Qianbaozhen River and the many fishermen on the riverside, he has a little more hope.
“Fellow Taoist Shi, where should I buy fishing rods, baits and other things? After hearing what Taoist Taoist said, Mr. Lu’s hands felt a little itchy.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“Eight hundred miles down here, there is a small shop with a large number of fishing-related treasures, including a variety of fishing rods and baits for fellow Taoists to choose from.”
“Although the shop is small, the owner’s background is unusual. He opened a shop there many years ago and has the strength to cultivate at the Nascent Soul realm. Everyone in the world calls him the fish shop owner.”
“The fish shop owner is a bit weird and lonely, but for anglers like us, he’s pretty good. Friends from Lu Dao don’t need to take it to heart.”
“Okay, after buying all the fishing gear, how about Lu coming over to find fellow Taoist Shi?”
Lu Xuan asked.
“Okay, it just relieves boredom.”
Shi Zichen nodded and said.
