Chapter 2 Spirit Fish
Chapter 2 Spirit Fish
The lotus leaves sway gently and the lotus flowers bloom.
Li Quanqing stood on the water, and handfuls of bait were scattered into the fish pond by the wind.
Thousands of fish scrambled for food, and for a moment the water surface was filled with bamboo-green backs.
The water is sparkling and looks very beautiful.
Despite the temptation of fish food, there were still a dozen stubborn adult black carps that kept spitting out water arrows.
They were vomiting so happily that there was even a look of joy in their eyes.
"This is outrageous! I will sell you all in two days and exchange you all for spirit stones!"
This kind of big black carp is not valuable, one fish is only worth one spiritual sand.
One hundred pieces of spiritual sand can only be exchanged for one low-grade spiritual stone.
The Li family’s real signature weapon is actually a monster called the Green Jade Carp.
Moo! Moo!
A dull cry was heard, and the fish suddenly became agitated, making way for the waterway as if they had seen a superior.
Two green jade carps floated out of the water leisurely, like stars surrounding the moon, and their scales were as beautiful as jade under the sunlight.
They are not big, only about the length of a forearm, but their scales are surrounded by a hint of demonic aura, and they are full of spirituality.
The difference between jade carp and big blue carp is like the difference between immortal cultivators and mortals.
Although they look similar on the outside, they are actually very different on the inside.
When Li Quanqing saw the two spirit fish, he couldn't help but smile and took out the specially prepared high-quality fish bait to feed them.
The green jade carp is of high value. The fish meat contains rich spiritual energy and tastes better than spiritual rice.
Fish blood can be used to make magical ink, and fish bones and tendons can be used to make bone-setting paste.
Fish scales are thin, hard, and have good conductivity of magical power, making them a natural material for refining magical instruments.
A green jade carp in the early stage of Qi Refining can be sold at a high price of 3 to 10 spirit stones.
These two green jade carps, one male and one female, are the welfare given by the family.
Every member of the Li family who is over 15 years old can receive a pair of male and female fish fry for free.
If you want it again after that, you will need to spend spirit stones or family contributions.
After feeding the two young jade carps, Li Quanqing carefully touched their scales.
[Optimistic and cheerful] Qing Yuli: "I feel beautiful again. When can I have a baby~"
【Maturity: 98%】
[Sashimi] Jade Carp: "Eat, eat, eat~ Sleep, sleep, sleep~ It was a close call, I almost starved to death just now!"
【Maturity: 94%】
This is another function of Li Quanqing's golden finger.
As long as you touch the spirit beast, you can see their mental state and maturity.
As for why it is not used on big black carp, it is naturally because there are too many of them.
They are a bunch of worthless creatures. Just leave them to fend for themselves and grow wildly.
Looking at the male jade carp swallowing the high-quality spiritual bait in big mouthfuls, Li Quanqing couldn't help but harden his fist.
Eat, eat, eat, just know how to eat!
I see you eat so much every day, why is it that your food is never mature enough?
As an unruly demon, you are forbidden to give up!
If the spirit fish doesn’t work hard, how can I save enough spirit stones to become a weapon refiner?
Li Quanqing touched the beautiful female green jade carp again and immediately found it much more pleasing to the eye.
Not only does it grow fast, but it also always considers its owner.
When fish eggs are really produced, I won’t have to spend money to buy them from my family, which can save a lot of spirit stones.
More than an hour had passed since the twenty acres of fish pond were fed.
Li Quanqing knew the importance of cultivation and did not waste any time. He began to practice with the help of the spiritual energy in the fish pond.
Open the book!
He sat cross-legged on a lotus platform, his eyes slightly closed, his five hearts facing the sky, and with every breath he took, strands of spiritual energy flowed through his mouth and nose and entered his body.
The human race in this world is born with all five spiritual roots, but there are also differences in strength. Li Quanqing has a middle-grade spiritual root of water attribute and a low-grade spiritual root of gold and wood attributes.
As for the attributes of fire and earth, they are not good enough and cannot be detected by the spirit measuring platform.
If all five spiritual roots are not up to par and one does not have any special physique, then one is a mortal with no chance of becoming an immortal.
Gold creates water, and Li Quanqing practiced the Li family's basic martial art "Gold and Water Secret".
If he wants to build a foundation in the future, he will have to switch to practicing more advanced Taoist magic.
When the practice was over, it was already noon.
"Practicing for half a day is only equivalent to one third of a spiritual energy ball."
Li Quanqing sighed slightly in his heart and took out the dry food he had prepared long ago to have lunch.
With his qualifications, if he didn't cheat, the Great Perfection of Qi Refining would probably be his limit.
"Quanqing, are you having dinner?"
Outside the fish pond, someone shouted his name across the formation, and the voice sounded quite familiar.
Li Quanqing raised his eyes and looked, his heart suddenly sank, and he had a bad premonition.
Why is this guy here?
The person who came was a thin middle-aged man with a gloomy temperament. He was standing at the bow of the boat with two big blue carps in his hands.
The corners of his eyes and eyebrows give people a feeling of frustration.
"My nephew has grown up, and he doesn't recognize me as his uncle anymore?"
Li Yuheng touched the solid and cold magic circle in front of him and forced a smile on his face.
As soon as he thought of the ancient cave that had just appeared, he suddenly felt extremely anxious and wished he could drive the spirit boat in right now.
"Uncle wants to talk to me about something?"
Li Quanqing opened the formation and let him in, with an indifferent expression and a lukewarm smile.
Both of the original body's parents were members of the Li clan. His father was born into a mortal family, but later on, it was discovered that he had spiritual roots and embarked on the path to immortality.
My mother is the true immortal lineage of the Li clan. I heard that her ancestors had produced a great cultivator in the foundation-building stage, but they had long since fallen into decline.
The man in front of him was none other than his uncle, who had seldom moved around since he could remember.
Li Yuheng went into the fish pond, rubbed his hands, and coughed: "It's not that there has been a good harvest of fish recently, your aunt asked me to bring it to you, nephew, to try."
Looking at the lively big black carp, Li Quanqing sighed: "Uncle, just say whatever you want to say."
Li Yuheng looked slightly embarrassed, and smiled shyly: "There is a fairy palace near the sea, and my uncle wants to go and try his luck, but... but I don't have enough spirit stones..."
Exploring the treasures left by our ancestors is not an easy task.
Magical instruments, spiritual armor, talismans, elixirs...
Each one requires a lot of spirit stones to be spent.
Anyone who was reluctant to give up his spirit stones would have already died in the sea and become food for the fish.
Li Quanqing thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect it to be the worst one.
He looked at his uncle and felt the blood vessels in his temples throbbing. "My parents were killed by a sea monster and my storage bag was lost. Where did I get the spirit stones to lend to you?"
Li Yuheng laughed dryly: "Don't we still have the family contribution points left by Yuru and the others? If we use them as collateral, we can get a few hundred spirit stones."
As if he felt that he was too shameless, he quickly explained: "Don't worry, nephew, I will use the title deed of my own fish pond in District B as collateral, and I will never let you suffer any loss!"
"Fish pond in Area B?"
Upon hearing this, Li Quanqing immediately became interested.
According to the concentration of spiritual energy, the Li family divided the thousands of miles of sea area of the Qingyu Islands into eight circular areas: A, B, C, D, E, Ji, Geng, and Xin.
The first four areas are occupied by the Li clan members themselves, while the waters of the last four areas, together with the islands therein, are rented out to individual cultivators and small families.
"The fish pond in Area B has abundant spiritual energy, which is enough to support the growth of the Jade Carp King in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining, and can also raise more spiritual fish and sea beasts."
Li Quanqing's heart moved slightly: "Bring me the deed."
