Chapter 916 - 914: The Persistence of the Fishing Enthusiast
The thought that the Incomplete Cave Heaven beneath his feet could possibly be refined into a Personal Spatial left Lu Xuan breathing a bit more hurriedly.
"If there were a personal Cave Abode, then there would be no need to travel all over the place, nor would there be worry that those high-rank Spirit Plants might be taken by villains."
At the thought of such a scenario, his heart raced with longing.
"Unfortunately, the treasures required to refine this Incomplete Cave Heaven are simply too vast."
"Although the Eightfold Palace’s eight blooms can basically meet the requirements, the time needed is extremely long, and the conditions for nurturing are not that easy to meet."
The first, the Xun Feng Palace, with the help of the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce in collecting that Wind Aperture Stone, successfully bloomed after twenty years or so.
The subsequent seven palaces are likely to consume no less time and effort.
"As for treasures, one can still rely on the Commerce Association to help collect them."
"As for the growing cycle, it can be shortened somewhat with the help of the Divine Wood Green Pot."
"Only with that, the incomplete Divine Wood Green Pot would seem somewhat insufficient."
Lu Xuan inwardly thought to himself.
Relating to his own Cultivation Level, maturing Origin Spirit Ginseng is a must so that as many Spiritual Seeds as possible can be obtained, allowing for mass harvesting of cultivation rewards.
The Seventh Grade Eightfold Palace has urgent needs as well, and many other high-rank Spirit Plants need to be matured at certain critical moments.
"Originally a Middle Rank Magical Treasure, the Divine Wood Green Pot fell to a Sixth Grade Magical Instrument after its origin energy was lost. If there is a chance, I should see if I can restore it completely."
"Or alternatively, acquire another new Divine Wood Green Pot."
He was fully aware of the source of this farming Strange Treasure, originating from the Divine Wood Sect; unfortunately, not knowing the location of the Sect, he couldn’t manage to restore this Strange Treasure completely.
"In addition, since there is a long-term need to infuse herbage Spiritual Energy into the Divine Wood Green Pot, the Qingmu Origin Energy within my body also needs to be replenished in time."
"Thus, it is quite necessary to expand the production of the Third Grade Primordial Essence Herb."
Within the Primordial Essence Herb Light Cluster, a large number of Three-Grade Spirit Absorbing Grass Beads can be produced, containing a vast amount of herbage Spiritual Energy, which, once absorbed, can replenish the Qingmu Origin Energy in the Dantian.
"Plan slowly and steadily."
Having acquired this Seventh Grade Wind Calming Divine Pearl on this trip, Lu Xuan was quite satisfied.
He put the precious pearl into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch and then inspected the various high-rank Spirit Plants planted around the Cave Heaven.
The Seventh Grade Light Fairy Feather shed layers of clear brilliance down; within the brilliance was a clear energy Light Cluster, where a feather robe, less than an inch long, was floating.
The feather robe rotated freely, every move seeming to resonate with the natural essence of purity and spirituality.
Not far from it, the Twin Birth White Lotus has already taken root and sprouted; even from a distance, Lu Xuan felt as though he could sense the pure white lotus’s call to him.
It seemed as though it was nurturing a small life that was closely related to himself.
He cast the Spirit Rain Technique on the young white lotus sapling, and after it was sufficiently nourished by the Spirit Rain, poured in half a bottle of the Snow Dragon Holy Spring, then his spirit sank into the lotus, merging with this Seventh Grade Spirit Plant.
After undergoing two moltings, Cicada Wood’s size had noticeably increased from before; the trunk was covered with strange patterns, as if hibernating Spirit Cicadas were awaiting their emergence.
The Seventh Grade Lamp Igniting Ancient Grass was planted separately in a Spirit Field, which was sprinkled with a thick layer of He Light Dust.
The He Light Dust emitted a faint warm light, quietly nurturing that seed with a peculiar wick inside.
"The Lamp Igniting Ancient Grass has been planted for a relatively short time; there is still a little while before it takes root and sprouts."
Lu Xuan concentrated his mind on the seed.
With the presence of He Light Dust, there is no need to worry too much about the early growth of this plant from the Mysterious Buddhist Country.
Besides these few Seventh Grade Spirit Plants, within the Incomplete Cave Heaven, two extremely rare Sixth Grade Spirit Plants were also planted.
They were the Huangliang Wood and the Double-pupil Flower.
The Huangliang Wood had been planted for a few years and was already in the rapid growth stage.
Stepping within several feet of the Spirit Wood, my mind seemed to drift into oblivion without my awareness.
Thankfully, Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense was strong, which allowed him to maintain his self without falling into an endless slumber.
Another Sixth Grade Double-pupil Flower, nourished by the Strange Eyes of a Fourth Grade Demon Beast collected by the Commerce Association, had already taken root and sprouted. The delicate branches and leaves resembled the faint blood vessels in an eye, inducing a dizzying sensation upon sight.
After nurturing each one, images of the previous fishing session for Dark Fish floated into Lu Xuan’s mind.
"Just fish for a while and bring back some special Spiritual fish to the folks in the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave."
He felt an itch in his hands, not having fished for so long.
Since he didn’t need to cultivate and could still get treasures from the Thousand Treasures True River, plus being able to precisely grasp the preferences of various Spirit Fish and Water Beasts, the difficulty of fishing them up was much lower than for other Cultivators.
He promptly flew out of the mist, activated the five Star Battle Flags to protect the Incomplete Cave Heaven, and rode a Sword Light to his last fishing spot.
"Eh? Stone Daoist Friend, you’re still here fishing for treasures?"
Upon reaching the Thousand Treasures True River that stretched across the sky, Lu Xuan immediately noticed the Cultivator he had met last time, who was keen on fishing for Treasure Items.
"It’s Friend Lu indeed!"
Shi Zichen’s face initially showed wariness when he detected someone approaching, but upon recognizing Lu Xuan’s aura, he relaxed and, not bothering to reply to Lu Xuan, stared intently at the float in the turbulent river.
"I didn’t expect that almost two years later, Friend Lu would come over and still see me fishing for treasures in the same spot."
Lu Xuan walked over, smiled, and took out a small bottle of Ice Marrow Spirit Brew from his storage bag to toss to the oblivious Shi Zichen.
"Many thanks."
Perhaps because Shi Zichen had already tasted Lu Xuan’s Spirit Brew before, his guard was significantly lowered. After scanning it with his Spiritual Sense and confirming nothing was amiss, he downed it in one gulp.
Lu Xuan sat down to one side, watching and making casual conversation.
"Stone Daoist Friend’s persistence is truly admirable," he said sincerely.
He couldn’t imagine himself fishing day in and day out by the river for years, even if he occasionally caught something; it would be too hard to keep going.
"I can’t help it, the moment when a Spirit Fish or Water Beast takes the bait is just too addicting,"
"Moreover, there is a chance to catch other treasures."
Shi Zichen replied offhandedly.
"Stone Daoist Friend, how many Spiritual fish have you caught in these two years at the Thousand Treasures True River?"
Lu Xuan asked, unable to hold back his curiosity.

Shi Zichen remained silent, everything left unsaid.
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but sit up straight, his admiration growing stronger.
If Spirit Fish and Water Beasts occasionally bit, he could keep going for a long time, but if he never caught anything, it would be completely impossible to stay there for two years.
"I have no choice, treasures are hard to come by. When you explore the Secret Land, you can’t guarantee you’ll find treasures either, and there’s even the risk of losing your life if you’re not careful," Shi Zichen said helplessly.
Upon hearing Lu Xuan ask, he found it difficult to express the bitterness in his heart.
After seeing Lu Xuan catch three Dark Fish in less than half a month, he coveted that fishing spot. As soon as Lu Xuan left, he immediately took it over.
He had hoped to catch one or two Dark Fish, but after fishing for a full year, not a single one had bitten.
Occasionally other Spiritual fish would bite, but he was unable to pull them ashore, ultimately failing to achieve anything.
