I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates-Chapter 918 - 916 Thick Earth Palace

After concocting the special bait he needed, Lu Xuan cast the agilawood hook deep into the Thousand Treasures True River once again.

He then sat patiently to the side, waiting for the silver horn giant fish to be drawn in by the bait.

"Friend Lu, how is it going, have any spiritual fish taken the bait?"

A familiar voice gently floated to Lu Xuan’s ears.

Turning his head, Shi Zichen, several miles away, was nodding towards him as a greeting.

"Occasionally, one or two spiritual fish take the bait, but none have been caught. I can only say my luck is mediocre."

Lu Xuan transmitted his voice in response.

"It’s normal not to catch any; spiritual fish aren’t that easy to reel in."

"And who knows what techniques those major powers use, to be able to fish all sorts of rare treasures from the Thousand Treasures True River."

Shi Zichen sighed continuously, his tone thick with envy.

"Stone Daoist, let’s encourage each other."

Lu Xuan laughed softly, his mind continuing to focus on the area near the agilawood hook in the deep river.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

[Silver Horn Giant Fish...]

"It’s here!"

Lu Xuan held his breath, his grip on the Ink Jade Spirit Rod tight, his forearm muscles bulging as a faint golden luster appeared on the surface of his skin.

Suddenly, the float plunged deep into the True River.

Lu Xuan called out lightly, lifting the Ink Jade Spirit Rod with one arm, forcefully pulling upwards.

"Another spiritual fish on the hook?"

Shi Zichen, several miles away, noticing the activity here, instantly had his eyes wide open in shock.

"Friend Lu, Shi Mou is coming to back you up!"

He transformed into a streak of green light, instantly appearing in front of Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan couldn’t spare him any attention, as the Ink Jade Spirit Rod in his hand bent like a full-drawn bow, the ice silkworm silk trembling continuously, as if it might snap at any moment.

Although the silver horn giant fish was immensely strong, it was still only a fourth-grade spiritual fish and possessed low spiritual intelligence, relying solely on brute strength.

Gradually, its struggles grew weaker.

Lu Xuan acutely noticed this change and swung the Ink Jade Spirit Rod in his hand forcefully.

In a splashing noise, a giant fish emerged from the True River.

The head of the giant fish was somewhat deformed, occupying about half of its entire body, with a silver white sharp horn on top surrounded by thunder, adding a fierce and terrifying appearance.

As it landed on the river bank, silver white light burst from its sharp horn, and bolts of lightning struck towards Lu Xuan and the other, while its body leapt high, trying to return to the Thousand Treasures True River.

"What a monstrous beast!"

Lu Xuan didn’t bother dodging the lightning, rushing directly through it, pressing down forcefully with one hand and plunging it into the head of the silver horn giant fish, twisting viciously inside.

Immediately, the thunderous energy on the body of the silver horn giant fish scattered, and it lay on the ground, its fate uncertain.

"I didn’t expect you, Friend Lu, to have such a formidable flesh body!"

Surprise flashed across Shi Zichen’s face.

Although the silver horn giant fish was only a fourth grade demon beast, its immense strength was troublesome. Lu Xuan had just resisted those bolts of lightning an instant ago using his body, and then subdued the silver horn giant fish with a single slap, revealing the formidable strength of his flesh body.

"I’ve been planting plenty of Spirit Fruits that temper the flesh body. One day I’ll bring some over for Stone Daoist to try."

Lu Xuan laughed gently, reverting back to his previously gentle and elegant demeanor.

"Friend Lu, that’s very thoughtful of you."

"It’s just that Shi Mou is not really in the mood to think about Spirit Fruits right now."

Shi Zichen looked at the silver horn giant fish on the ground and let out a bitter smile.

Lu Xuan had come to fish in Thousand Treasures True River for not even three months and had already caught four spiritual fish, plunging him, who hadn’t had a catch for a long time, into deep self-doubt.

"It’s all luck, perhaps Lu Mou has a bit of a destiny with the True River."

Lu Xuan saw the situation and spoke up to comfort him. Explore more adventures at novelbuddy

"Friend Lu, it’s better to keep silent."

Shi Zichen took a deep breath, slowly walked back, his figure looking a bit desolate and lonely.

Lu Xuan shook his head.

He couldn’t bring himself to tell the other about his special ability, and moreover, their friendship had not reached the point where he would give him the specially prepared bait.

Besides, even if Shi Zichen used the special bait Lu Xuan had concocted, it was not guaranteed he could hook a Spiritual Fish.

After all, the Thousand Treasures True River stretched for who knows how many tens of thousands of miles, and the Spiritual Fish that flowed into this water area were of unknown specific types; one needed targeted bait to increase the chances of catching them.

He slightly processed the Silver Horn Giant Fish he had caught and stored it in his Storage Bag, continuing to fish for more Silver Horn Giant Fish.

Less than ten days later, another Silver Horn Giant Fish was hooked.

"Friend Lu, besides being envious, I don’t even know what else to say," Shi Zichen said, his tone thick with sourness as if it were tangible.

"What exactly is the problem?"

"Is it my Spirit Rod that’s inadequate? Or is my fishing experience not rich enough?"

"Friend Lu had just started fishing and already hooked five Spiritual Fish!"

"Five! I might not even catch one in a year!"

"Could it really be that everyone’s fortune is different?"

Carrying these heavy doubts, he returned to his fishing spot, looking at the Fifth Grade Obsidian Spirit Rod in his hand, which no matter how he looked at it, seemed unpleasing.

"Let’s pack up and go back to the Cave Heaven to farm."

In the blink of an eye, another half-month passed without any new Silver Horn Giant Fish being hooked, so Lu Xuan decided it was time to head home.

"Stone Daoist, until we meet again."

Before leaving, he greeted Shi Zichen.

"Friend Lu, take care. I will continue fishing for a while longer," Shi Zichen responded as he waved goodbye.

Once Lu Xuan’s figure had disappeared into the distant void, his expression turned resolute.

"It must be the location! Let’s change it and try again!"

He quickly packed up his Magic Artifact Spirit Rod and in a few breaths, he moved to the spot where Lu Xuan had been fishing, and sat down with a calm expression.

...

Incomplete Cave Heaven.

Lu Xuan crossed through the mist and gently landed on the small island.

He checked each High Rank Spirit Plant one by one, providing the most meticulous care according to their subtle needs, ensuring that each plant had the best growing conditions.

"There’s been a slight change in the second layer of the Eightfold Palace."

He noticed a strand of deep yellow Spiritual Light flickering in and out among the Strange Wind flowing through the Spirit Flowers of the First Xun Feng Palace.

The Spiritual Light looked very unassuming, yet it gave Lu Xuan a sense of profound steadfastness.

His mind focused on the Eightfold Palace, and suddenly, a thought emerged in his mind.

[The Eightfold Palace, a Seventh Grade Spirit Plant, is cultivated from the Origin Qi of Cave Sky and has now grown into the second layer, the Thick Earth Palace, which requires Upper Class Spirit Soil and a treasure nourishing with pure and rich Earth Origin Spiritual Energy to promote the transition of the Spirit Flower from virtual to real.]

"The second layer, the Thick Earth Palace, needs Upper Class Spirit Soil and a treasure containing pure and rich Earth Origin Spiritual Energy for nourishment."

"Upper Class Spirit Soil is manageable, as the Eightfold Palace is currently planted in Sixth Grade Genkun Wutu Soil, but I didn’t get much Genkun Wutu Soil last time, and most of it was used for cultivating the other High Rank Spirit Plants."

"At the moment, ensuring the early growth of the second layer is not a problem, and later I can also go into the Wutu Star Cave to get some more."

During the last unusual event with the Spirit Beast in the Sky Star Cave, he had helped out and left a deep impression on the Wutu Star Owner, so buying some Genkun Wutu Soil should not be a problem.

"As for the Earth-related Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, I will have to think of a way back in the Thunderfire Star Cave."

"Fortunately, the Thick Earth Palace is still in the nurturing stage, so there’s plenty of time."

Lu Xuan thought to himself and decided to return to the Thunderfire Star Cave.
