The immortality of mortals

Chapter 9 Jade Spirit Fish
Yang Xuan listened to the rules of Baichi Mountain and the techniques for fishing for spiritual fish.

Then he sent away Master Baichi, who appeared to be kind and friendly, but in fact had a treacherous businessman's mind in amassing money.

He first took out a few gifted fish luring pills to test the water, and then fished in the Xifeng Tianchi with stone seats on all sides.

A few hours passed, and a few fish were caught, including a big red carp with a tail over three feet long.

But without exception, they are all ordinary species.

Obviously, in the Baichi Mountain where jade fish are advertised, there are actually more ordinary fish.

For ordinary people, catching big fish several feet long may be a good harvest, but for immortal cultivators, it is simply a waste of time.

"Damn it, there are no spiritual fish in this pond, they are just mortal bastards!"

The cultivator with a bad temper threw his pole and turned away in anger, shouting that he had been fooled.

But Master Baichi is a master of the thirteenth level of Qi refining, so no one dares to run over and yell, and they can only admit that they are unlucky and suffer the loss of being dumb.

"Sure enough, there is no good thing in the world that can be taken advantage of in vain."

Yang Xuan thought to himself.

The entry price of Tianchi is two spiritual stones, and a foot-long jade spiritual fish can be sold for more than a dozen spiritual stones.

Perhaps many cultivators have this idea in mind and come to try to find out the mistakes.

The result is also obvious. Basically, they all come back in vain.

Use up the few gifted fish attracting pills.

There were seven more fish of different sizes in the fish basket. Unfortunately, they were all mortal objects and there was not a single spiritual fish.

Yang Xuan did not kill them angrily, but released them all back to Tianchi.

After practicing just now, he finally found a feeling of fishing, and he just put on the fire dates he brought.

But Yang Xuan did not take it out in front of other monks.

Fishing openly with precious spiritual fruits is a bit eye-catching.

He left Tianchi and according to Master Baichi's instructions, there were some springs on the underground Yin pulse in this vast mountain peak, and there were also spiritual fish in them.

If you can find a remote Yinquan with no one around, you don't have to worry about the spiritual fruit being exposed.

Carrying the Xiuzhang green bamboo fishing rod and wandering around for half an hour, he actually found a dark spring rising from an underground grotto.

Under the exposed mountain rock wall, there is a small blue water pool less than ten feet wide and bottomless. It is surrounded by dense weeds and shrubs that are taller than a human body. It is extremely difficult to spot from the outside.

There is also a flowering peach tree beside the pool, with colorful fallen flowers. A few petals float in the blue waves, and occasionally small fish come up to eat them.

Yang Xuan said in his heart that the environment was good.

Then he brought a round stone and sat down, set up a green bamboo fishing rod and put on fire dates, and started fishing seriously.

The almost transparent silver wire followed the bait and dropped into the bottomless black water. In just one cup of tea, the fishing rod suddenly sank.

He raised the pole and reeled in the line as usual, but the moment the fish landed was unexpected.

I saw a beautiful fish with a pure white body and emerald green, with scales as tight and smooth as jade carvings. It kept shaking its head and tail and struggling hard.

Although it only looks like five or six inches, the strength it emits is as amazing as a big fish.

"This is... the Jade Spirit Fish?!"

Yang Xuan opened his eyes wide, thinking that the fish he had taken the bait was an ordinary fish, but he didn't expect to get off to a good start and harvest a spiritual fish.

Meizizi put the jade fish into the basket, then tied the remaining jujube tightly, and continued fishing.

In the afternoon, the sun slowly sets in the west, and the stars in the sky light up.

When Yang Xuan retracted his pole, he found that night had actually fallen.

So I simply stayed by the pond all night and waited until the next morning before getting up and leaving.

More than half a year of hard training has greatly improved his ability to meditate.

Besides, looking at the many catches in the basket, if it weren't for the fact that all the fish in the pond seemed to have been caught, he could have continued to stay.

The spirit fish kept taking the bait, making it difficult for Yang Xuan to give up such a good opportunity.

After more than ten hours of fishing, a total of more than 20 jade spirit fish were put into the spirit beast bag I just bought.

He didn't know whether it was because his fire jujube bait was too good or because there were too many spiritual fish in the pond.

The two spiritual stones for the admission ticket can actually reap dozens of times the reward.

"It seems that I can visit this place more often in the future." As soon as Yang Xuan walked out of the temple carrying a fishing rod, he was stopped by the smiling Master Baichi.

"My friend, according to the rules, if you fish for twelve hours on the mountain, you will need to collect an additional spiritual stone for each additional day."

'What?Such a profiteer...'

Yang Xuan opened his mouth in shock. After seeing the regulations carved on the stone wall, he had no choice but to take out the spirit stone and hand it over.

"Haha, little friend, you can come to Baichi Mountain to sit there often when you have time!"

The old monk smiled and waved.

Yang Xuan showed an angry look of being slaughtered, snorted and walked away.

Fortunately, he came prepared, and the many spiritual fish he harvested was a huge profit.

It seems that I will come back several times in the future to clear up all the goat hair in the white pool.

"Meow!"

After the boy left, a white cat suddenly jumped out from the corner.

He quickly climbed into Master Baichi's arms and meowed twice, causing the old monk's eyes to flash and he stared closely at the bag on the young man's waist.

"Is there a lot of spirit fish aura in the spirit beast bag..."

When he walked to the pavilion where the immortal cultivators traded, Yang Xuan walked around but didn't see any interesting treasures.

However, I found that the crooked-neck willow tree among the green grass was suitable for resting.

It is quite tiring to concentrate on fishing all day and night, and to deal with the spirit fish.

He walked to the crooked neck willow tree and sat down.

The warm spring sun shines, the stream gurgling on the side, and the breeze blows the new buds of the willow branches. Yang Xuan can't help but feel a bit relaxed.

"It's the beautiful scenery in the world, and you can steal half a day's leisure..."

Suddenly thinking of the appropriate phrases from his previous life, he naturally recited them.

"Young master is really elegant."

Suddenly a girl's charming laugh sounded.

Yang Xuan turned around and saw two familiar girls, master and servant, walking over the bridge over the stream.

The bun-faced person on the right with a bun and a light green dress is the maid Xiaomei whom I met before.

The girl standing on the left with a sweet smile is none other than the gentle lady she had met once before. She is now wearing a pure white skirt, which brings out her bright and elegant temperament, like a classical fairy descending into the world of mortals.

Yang Xuan felt as if he had seen the two green and white snakes in the legend.

The surrounding streams, pines and cypresses, and the ancient temples in Yunshan seem to be poetic and picturesque in the gentle girl's smile.

After half a year, the vague good impression we had when we first met has gradually faded away as time goes by.

Originally he thought he had forgotten it, but he didn't expect to meet him again in Baichi Mountain.

"Hey, is the young master also here to catch jade fish?"

Maid Xiaomei noticed that the other party had not yet picked up Xiu Zhang.

"Yeah, I came here yesterday, worked hard all night, and got two or three taels, and I'm leaving today."

Yang Xuan helplessly spread his hands.

"Oh, that's a bit unfortunate. The lady and I just arrived."

Maid Xiaomei felt a little pity, then she rolled her eyes and suddenly said:

"At the Lantian gathering early next month, my lady will be selling several sets of new magic circles. If you have time, sir, you can come and take a look~"

"Xiao Mei!"

The gentle girl glared at the self-assertive maid with an angry look, then turned her pretty face and said with a soft smile:

"The Bigu Pills sold last time by my fellow Taoists had a novel taste and were really unforgettable. I just don't know when I can buy them again?"

"I'm about to go to the Blue Jade Festival next month."

Yang Xuan nodded and answered.
