Chapter 7: Jade Carp with Golden Pattern
Chapter 7: Jade Carp with Golden Pattern
"It's really serious? Uncle, please tell me in detail."
Li Quanqing immediately became interested.
Li Kunshui didn't waste any time. He reached his big hand into the water and was about to pull the green jade carp out.
The male green jade carp was frightened and immediately arched its body and struggled violently, with a surge of demonic energy and a strength of hundreds of pounds.
But the old man's cultivation was quite strong, and with the suppression of his magic power, he easily caught the spirit fish onto the deck.
"The fish is plump, the fins are symmetrical, the scales are brightly colored, neatly arranged, with clear patterns, the mouth is square, and the eyes are bright and lively. It is indeed a top-notch product!"
"Of course the most important thing is here, Qing'er, come and take a look—"
Li Kunshui tapped the dorsal scales behind the fish's head with his pipe, making a crisp sound like metal.
The old man exerted a little force with his palm, and with a snap, the dark green fish scale broke into pieces, revealing the new scales underneath.
"This"
A flash of golden light flashed, like fine pieces of gold jumping into the eyes, forming spots on the surface of the fish scales.
"Could this be a golden-patterned jade carp?"
Li Quanqing asked somewhat uncertainly.
"That's right, this jade carp actually has some signs of reversion of its ancestral bloodline, and is about to grow golden patterns!"
Li Kunshui nodded, confirming his guess: "You are doing well! You are really doing well!"
Li Quanqing:
With the title of "Bad Fish Sashimi", the male jade carp opened its mouth and blew bubbles, with a confused and innocent look in its eyes.
Okay, you guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, we agreed to play badly together.
You're secretly betraying your wife, right?
Li Quanqing gave this guy a blow on the head, but he was very satisfied in his heart.
For ordinary green jade carp, growing to the middle stage of Qi Refining is already the limit of its strength, and its scales are generally used to forge green carp swords.
Only by growing golden patterns can one break through to the late stage of Qi Refining and even have the potential to become a Magikarp.
The top-grade magic weapon, the Green Scale Shield, is made of this kind of golden-patterned fish scales and has very strong defensive capabilities.
After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the spirit fish, Li Quanqing released the green jade carp back into the fish pond.
"I have been raising fish for so many years, but I have only managed to breed eight golden-patterned jade carps."
"Qing'er, it's your first year of raising fish and you've produced such top-quality fish. That's really amazing!"
The old man gave a thumbs up, feeling as if he was beaten to death on the beach by the waves behind him.
Li Quanqing scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
He felt that the evolution of this useless bonito was closely related to those dragon scale grass seeds.
Li Kunshui rummaged through his storage bag and took out a booklet: "This is my experience in raising golden jade carp over the years. It should be able to accelerate the growth of this spiritual fish. I'll give it to Qingge'er."
"Uncle Nineteen, this is too valuable. I can't accept it!"
Li Quanqing quickly waved his hand to refuse.
In the world of cultivating immortals, this kind of precious experience can be regarded as an inexhaustible mine of spiritual stones, and all casual cultivators would go crazy when they see it.
Even within the Li family, it is a secret that is not passed on among the branches.
After all, it was an ancient society, and the dissemination and acquisition of knowledge was extremely difficult.
"Take it! It's worthless. I'm counting on Qing'er to become successful in the future!"
Li Kunshui chuckled, and his pair of old eyes, which were full of fine lines, narrowed up due to laughter.
Even though he is over ninety years old, he still has the ability to judge people.
In the old man's eyes, Li Quanqing is definitely not an insignificant figure and he will eventually rise to prominence!
A copy of this booklet is definitely worth using to establish a connection.
Li Quanqing returned the favor by taking out the best ingredients and inviting the old man to a meal.
The juicy big blue carp is roasted, steamed or stewed, and the Qingheling rice grown by the family tenants is fragrant when cooked, which will whet your appetite.
The fish meat is tender and delicious, the magical rice melts in your mouth, and the sweet and sour magical fruits make it truly a heavenly day.
After a meal, not only does one satisfy one's appetite, but also the rich spiritual energy spreads into every part of one's body, making one feel comfortable all over.
It was like swallowing a few tonic pills.
Li Kunshui also knows how to enjoy himself. After dinner, he specially brewed a pot of spiritual tea, and the purple clay teapot was bubbling with steam. The mist was vast and the water was bright. The grandfather and grandson sat on the fishing boat, sipping tea and watching the water, feeling comfortable and relaxed, as beautiful as a painting.
As they chatted about everything under the sun, the topic came up, which was the ancient cave that appeared near the sea.
"That cave is incredible. Many people died this time. I heard that even masters at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining were killed!"
Li Kunshui sipped his tea and felt deeply moved when he thought of his youngest son who died in the ruins decades ago.
"Isn't he just an ancient cultivator who failed to break through the foundation building? How did he attract such a great master?"
Li Quanqing had heard his uncle mention the specific details of this cave.
He has achieved the great perfection of Qi training, which is equivalent to the level of a powerful elder even in the Qingyu Li family.
"That was indeed the case at the beginning, but unfortunately something unexpected happened later."
The old man puffed on his tobacco, puffing out clouds of smoke: "After breaking into the depths of the ruins, people discovered that there is an even more ancient formation inside, with a formation within a formation."
"So everyone went crazy. There were all kinds of outrageous rumors about the foundation-building tomb, the inheritance of the golden elixir, and so on. The killing was so tragic!"
Li Kunshui grinned, with a look of gloating.
As a member of a foundation-building family, with the support of a big tree, one has the confidence to sit back and relax.
Even if you raise spirit fish all your life, you will still have no worries about food and clothing. In addition, the salary and spirit stones paid by the family every year are enough to live a comfortable life.
There is no need to learn from those pitiful independent cultivators who would fight for a few pieces of spiritual sand.
While Li Quanqing was drinking tea, he was thinking about his uncle Li Yuheng.
However, he had the deed to the fish pond in his hand, so he would not lose out even if the other party was unlucky enough to die.
After seeing the old man off, Li Quanqing began to look through the booklet.
Unexpectedly, in addition to Li Kunshui's records, the booklet also contained his ancestors' experience in breeding green jade carp.
It can definitely be called a heritage accumulated over hundreds of years!
"This favor is a bit too much."
Li Quanqing sighed, wondering if his ancestors had left behind such things. It was most likely taken away by his uncle.
It is also possible that because of the abundant spiritual energy in the fish pond in Area B, the chance of raising golden-patterned jade carp is very high.
So no one has systematically summarized these things.
"Grind the earthworms and fermented rice husks into powder, mix them with spirit stone liquid to make pills, which can accelerate the growth of the golden jade carp..."
Li Quanqing read it carefully and memorized these things in his heart.
The earth spirit earthworms are earthworms raised in spiritual fields. They can be found in the medicine valley on Qingyu Island. They are not monsters at all.
Spiritual rice husks are even easier to obtain. Just ask those spiritual farmers, and you might be able to get them for free!
After spending a few days, Li Quanqing easily made this kind of spiritual earthworm bait, which smells like a pungent sour fish.
However, it is really tempting to the fish. The big black carps' eyes turn red when they smell the scent.
The two green jade carps also had big appetites and seemed to like the food very much.
I have to say that Mr. Li Kunshui is really capable.
The male jade carp grew a little more mature in half a month.
After taking this kind of earthworm bait pill, the growth rate is doubled, and a little growth can be achieved in seven or eight days.
Li Quanqing observed carefully and found that the evolution process of the golden-patterned jade carp was somewhat similar to that of a python shedding its skin, with new scales growing from under its skin.
More than a month later, more and more golden stripes appeared on the surface of the regrown fish scales.
The dots are like a line of golden lines on the back.
It looks very extraordinary.
In addition to carefully raising the jade carp, Li Quanqing also did not forget the big black carp.
He moved all the fish in Area C's fish pond to Area B's fish pond, where the spiritual energy was more abundant.
Occasionally, I would use spirit earthworm bait pills in combination with high-quality fish bait to feed the fish, which was quite costly.
As a result, several large blue carps matured almost every day, and some new light ball rewards were revealed every now and then.
