Chapter 996: Chapter 994: Deliver Seeds

“The net, woven from flood dragon sinews, is extremely tough. Even if dozens or hundreds of high-grade spiritual fish collide within it, it still withstands the pressure.”

“Moreover, the net contains a trace of dragon might, which naturally suppresses the spiritual fish.”

“Countless prohibitions and restrictions are inscribed on the dragon tendon, which can effectively confine and restrict the movements of the spiritual fish.”

Standing behind Master Taishu, Xu Weijing stepped forward and explained to Lu Xuan.

“Indeed, it’s an excellent tool for encircling fish.”

Lu Xuan nodded in praise.

...

“It’s just a bit lacking in technical sophistication.”

“The net Magic Artifact has many limitations and is only suitable for use during the outbreak of a spiritual tide.”

“Firstly, at least two or three Primordial Infant True Monarchs, leading more than a dozen Golden Core Real People, are needed to freely control this huge net Magic Artifact to prevent different types of spiritual fish from escaping after they are caught.”

“Additionally, outside of the eruption period, even in a large area of the True River, the number of spiritual fish is very sparse. Casting the net might often result in catching nothing.”

“Only by waiting for the spiritual tide to erupt, identifying the densest concentration of spiritual fish, and using this huge net Magic Artifact can a large number of high-grade spiritual fish be captured.”

“Of course, because the activation of the net consumes a lot, and the empty areas require time for new spiritual fish to replenish, the net can be used only once every ten days or half a month,”

Xu Weijing said slowly.

“That’s still quite impressive.”

“One cast of the net can yield a large number of high-grade spiritual fish.”

Lu Xuan said with envy.

Although he disdained the method of encircling fish with a huge net, he was still jealous of the Sect’s catch.

While he was reflecting, he saw three Early Nascent Soul Stage True Monarchs step forward, forming a triangular formation. They channeled their spiritual power frantically into the net.

The variously colored and shaped dragon sinews lit up rapidly, with spiritual energy circulating on their surface. Faint dragon chants could be heard, as transparent flood dragon illusions emerged, creating waves of spiritual energy.

Lu Xuan followed Xu Weijing, stepping back to quietly observe the Dao Sect’s fish-encircling activity.

After the appearance of the flood dragon illusions, more than a dozen Golden Core Real People quietly appeared above the net, forming a unique formation that made the net even more flawless.

One end of the net was tightly held by the Primordial Infant True Monarchs, who together, gave a powerful heave, casting it into the dark river waters.

The more than ten Dao Sect “Cultivators” closed their eyes in concentration, their minds merged as one with the net.

Half a moment later, fierce reactions appeared in the dark river water.

Bubbled the size of houses gushed forth, and soon after, the outlines of spiritual fish would appear and disappear within the sight of onlookers.

“Here comes the catch!”

Lu Xuan anticipated what was to come, and his eyes shone with a faint spiritual light to get a clearer view.

With the sound of splashing,

The spiritual fish surfaced, swimming rapidly.

Whenever a spiritual fish tried to dive back into the depths of the True River or violently collided with the net, countless large talismanic symbols would appear on each dragon tendon, enveloping the fish in a sudden storm, leaving them no hope of escape.

The three Primordial Infant True Monarchs, along with the more than ten Golden Core Real People, were on high alert, closely watching every dragon tendon, fearing they would not withstand the onslaught of the large number of high-grade spiritual fish.

For a time, the water’s surface resembled a magical battle with high-order “Cultivators,” a truly magnificent sight.

“So many!”

As the net was slowly pulled up, numerous huge spiritual fish were revealed.

Among them were the Dark Fish, Silver Horn Giant Fish, and Tiger Fish that Lu Xuan had once caught, as well as other species of spiritual fish.

Lu Xuan even saw a giant turtle about three meters in size, with three heads, its body pitch black, emitting foul-smelling black water from its mouth.

The black water had a strong corrosive effect, and the talismanic symbols on the dragon sinews clearly dimmed quite a bit.

Furthermore, there was a strangely shaped low-rank demonic creature, as if it were formed from countless water weeds, with wisps of demonic energy attempting to wiggle through the gaps in the huge net.

It appeared to have mastered some kind of special escape technique.

Of course, this also included the six Level Five Tiger Fish that Lu Xuan had recently harvested,

“Fellow Xu, congratulations, congratulations, the Dao Sect has reaped a bountiful harvest this time.”

Lu Xuan laughed and cupped his hands as he spoke.

Elder Taishu naturally couldn’t always accompany him, so Xu Weijing, who had once encountered him at the Liyang Taoist Sect, was now by his side.

“It’s alright. After all, since the spiritual fish must be distributed by the Sect, it’s not like Friend Lu who can own them all by himself.”

Xu Weijing spoke up.

After the giant net was brought ashore, Sect monks skilled in Formation Restrictions stepped forward to untie the prohibitions and restrictions on the dragon sinew and took out the spiritual fish one by one.

The low-rank demonic creature was easily dealt with by one of the Primordial Infant Cultivators.

There were over thirty spiritual fish in total, each weighing no less than a thousand pounds, with several that were clearly of Sixth Grade level.

Fishing with ordinary rods, they would likely snap in just a few rounds.

Several cultivators with rich processing experience stepped forward and promptly dealt with the spirit fish meat that had been assimilated by the waters of the Sacred River.

The Taiyi Dao Sect was full of confidence, unlike Lu Xuan who did not dare to dissect the Tiger Fish further but chose to cut them open on the spot.

Six Tiger Fish yielded quite a few treasures.

Among them, there were two fragments of Magical Treasure, with one of them so well-preserved that a little refinement would restore it to normal.

Additionally, there was a sealed bottle of Elixir, a jade slip that shimmered with a dark green gloss, and a piece of Spirit Ores that gushed out blood-red spiritual light.

In the belly of the last Tiger Fish, two mysterious Spiritual Seeds were even excavated.

Seeing the unidentified high-grade Spiritual Seeds, Lu Xuan’s gaze involuntarily lingered on them for a moment.

This small action was keenly captured by the observant Xu Weijing, who revealed a smile on his face.

He led Lu Xuan around the central area, and soon, a middle-aged man at Golden Core Completion approached them.

“Friend Lu, I am Xia Fei. At Elder Taishu’s request, I have come to offer you some Spirit Fish Meat.”

He handed Lu Xuan a deep black Storage Bag.

Scanning with his Spiritual Sense, Lu Xuan found over a thousand pounds of Spirit Fish Meat in the Storage Bag, mainly of Fourth Rank, with not a few of Fifth Rank level, which was quite valuable.

“Many thanks to Elder Taishu! I’m truly undeserving of so much Spirit Fish Meat.”

Lu Xuan politely offered his thanks and accepted the Storage Bag.

“Additionally, upon dissection of one Tiger Fish, the Sect discovered two peculiar Spiritual Seeds.”

“Even within the Dao Sect, your mastery in Spirit Plants is well-known, Friend Lu. These two seeds are gifted to you, in the hopes that you’ll successfully cultivate them.”

Xia Fei said with a smile.

The cultivators of the Dao Sect, including several Primordial Infant True Monarchs, had never seen the two seeds before and were not sure if they were rare species or some sort of mutation of Spiritual Seeds.

The Dao Sect kept them, requiring a great deal of time and effort to figure out the type of Spirit Plants, cultivation methods, and so on — it was better to give a gift of goodwill to Lu Xuan of the Dongxuan Sword Sect.

Master Taishu and Jian Huanzhen had a deep friendship, and since Lu Xuan was both warm and attentive with an eye for detail, they decided to gift the two Spiritual Seeds as a meeting present.

“Many thanks to Elder Taishu for bestowing such a generous gift upon me.”

Lu Xuan expressed his gratitude once more.

The Taiyi Dao Sect’s cultivators had been unable to identify the species, thus unable to understand the value of the Spiritual Seeds. But it was different for him.

With concentrated spirit, he could reveal the detailed information of all Spiritual Seeds before his eyes.
