Lu Xuan waited patiently.
The temptation was great, but the first-grade sea fish did not completely lose its rationality. Instead, it observed its surroundings while continuously testing the demon beast meat on the bait.
After confirming there was no danger, it opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, gulped down the bait in one go, and quickly swam away.
"Trying to escape after taking the bait?"
Lu Xuan's eyes lit up as he grasped the Copper Bone Bamboo fishing rod, controlling the fishing hook with his spiritual power to firmly hook onto the sea fish's body, then pulled it back forcefully.
A three-foot-long sea fish emerged from the sea floor and landed on the wooden platform. Its deep black tail flapped continuously, and its mouth with sharp teeth bit randomly.
Lu Xuan looked at the lively sea fish and felt quite satisfied.
In the moment when the sea fish took the bait, his sense of accomplishment peaked, second only to the reward from harvesting a mature high-grade spiritual plant.
When sensing the presence of the sea fish, he could attempt to directly control the fishing hook to hook it, but the underwater currents weakened his control over the fishing line and hook significantly.
Moreover, by doing so, he would lose the pleasure of fishing.
With one hand firmly holding the first-grade sea fish, he approached a huge water pool dug out by Shi Zhong.
The pool was over ten zhang long and wide, with various runes inscribed on the surrounding stone walls. Above it was a spiritual energy barrier covering the entire water surface to prevent the sea beasts inside from escaping.
At this moment, there were already four first-grade sea fish inside the pool, all caught by Shi Zhong. It was evident that he indeed had rich experience in fishing sea beasts.
Seeing Lu Xuan holding the sea fish in his hand, Shi Zhong raised an eyebrow.
"Daoist Lu has good skills. It didn't take long to catch a sea fish."
"The underwater currents are numerous, and these sea fish are all cunning. It's difficult to directly hook them with fishing hooks. We can only wait patiently for them to take the bait."
"If one lacks experience, it's common to spend a long time without catching any sea fish or beasts."
Shi Zhong modestly smiled.
"Daoist Shi, you flatter me. Compared to you, I'm far behind."
Lu Xuan replied casually, then continued to the wooden platform.
In the moment when the sea fish took the bait, he obtained detailed information about it.
Therefore, he was confident in finding the most suitable bait for various sea fish species and their various habits.
This time, he changed the bait and took out a black ring-shaped demon insect from the white jade box, carefully hooked it onto the fishing hook, and dropped it into the deep sea.
Not long after, the fishing line trembled slightly. Lu Xuan's spiritual sense penetrated the water, and he saw a streamlined sea fish with sharp bone spines swimming around the demon insect.
He concentrated his mind, and a thought flashed through his mind.
[Multi-Bone Arrow Fish, a second-grade demonic beast. It has extremely fast speed underwater. When facing danger, its back bone spines can shoot out like arrows, with attack power equivalent to an ordinary second-grade magical weapon.]
[It likes various live demonic insects in a mobile state. The stronger and more lively the demonic insect's vitality and the faster its movement speed, the greater the attraction to the Multi-Bone Arrow Fish.]
"No matter how rich your experience is, you can't beat my external assistance."
Lu Xuan sighed inwardly, then transmitted to Shi Zhong who was tens of zhang away.
"Daoist Shi, I sense a special spirit fish biting the demon insect bait I put down at the bottom of the sea."
"Special spirit fish? Demon insect bait?"
Shi Zhong caught the two key words in Lu Xuan's words.
"Is it a sea fish with sharp bone spines all over its body, presenting a streamlined shape?"
He spoke with three parts excitement in his tone.
"More or less what Daoist Shi friend described."
Lu Xuan controlled the fishing hook to move the ring-shaped demon insect in the water.
"That's the Multi-Bone Arrow Fish, a second-grade sea fish. It's extremely difficult to catch due to its fast speed. Daoist Lu, you must be careful and steady. I'll come over to help you."
Shi Zhong handed the precious fishing rod made of third-grade spiritual wood to a high-level Qi refining cultivator and hurried over.
