Chapter 18: Green Spirit Mud
Chapter 18: Green Spirit Mud
Changqing Palace, Lingyu Side Palace.
"Young man, after half a year, you're here to sell fish again?"
The elder who looked familiar stroked his graying beard and smiled until his eyes narrowed. "Is that the Green Carp Sword on your back? Not bad, not bad. It has a bit of the swordsmanship of the old man!"
Li Quanqing touched the sword behind him, his eyebrows raised proudly: "Your eyesight is really good, I just bought this magic weapon, I even sleep with it, preparing to cultivate an invincible sword heart!"
"Hey! Where did this nephew make his fortune?"
"The sword energy is vigorous and unstoppable. I seem to see the rise of a peerless swordsman!"
"My dear granddaughter, do you see? Grandpa didn't lie to you. You can save enough spirit stones to buy a flying sword by being a fisherman or a farmer!"
For a moment, the fishy air was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Magical weapons all have a period of adjustment, and need to be practiced with magic power closely before they can be manipulated with ease.
It is definitely not that Mr. Li is deliberately showing off.
After selling the big black carp, another 20.24 spirit stones arrived in my account.
In Li Quanqing's eyes, those plump white spiritual sands and spiritual stones can be said to be the cutest things in the world.
At the Yulongtan Market, Li Quanqing walked into a shop he often visited and purchased tens of thousands of kilograms of fish bait, which was delivered by a special person.
Walking along the emerald-like pool, seeing that there was no one around, Li Quanqing dived into the water.
The water in the pond is dark green and icy cold. Even if you have magic power to protect your body, you cannot stay there for long.
Li Quanqing took out a shovel and skillfully dived into the water to dig. The silt was dark blue in color, as sticky as black oil, and mixed with fine ice chips.
[Green Spirit Mud: A treasure that has been fermented for hundreds of years, stained with the breath of a high-level monster. Long-term contact is beneficial to the growth of Stone Spirit Loach and Green Jade Carp. ]
This is the secret that Li Quanqing saw in a book called "Secrets of Fish Farming" in the Sutra Pavilion. After being verified by the Golden Finger, it is indeed beneficial to spirit fish.
"A high-level demon beast. Could it be that there is really a guardian beast deep in the Jade Dragon Pond?"
Li Quanqing dug seven or eight bags of spiritual mud before he surfaced to breathe.
All members of the Li family had heard the story of the guardian beast when they were young.
He looked into the depths of the lake, which was vast and boundless. He wondered if there really was a huge monster silently guarding Qingyu Island.
……
"Fish cubs, it's time to eat!"
Li Quanqing floated on the water, standing on a lotus platform, carrying a long sword on his back, wearing a green robe with fluttering sleeves. He seemed ethereal and immortal, carefree and happy.
In fact, he is just a guy who flips the fish bait in the cafeteria.
Unremarkable.
He scattered handfuls of bait, which smelled sour and pungent, but was extremely tempting to the fish.
"Crash!"
In a corner of the fish pond separated by the formation, densely packed large black carp fry floated to the surface. They were all just hatched not long ago and were snuggling around their parents.
"Moo!"
The green jade carps smelled the fragrance and also poked their heads out, opening their mouths wide as if they were swallowing saliva.
After half a year of cultivation, there are only 20 young jade carp left, and it is the time for them to grow.
Each of them is a big eater with a huge appetite. They are plump and round in appearance, and their eyes reveal clear stupidity.
"Come here, let me touch it and see how it's developing!"
Li Quanqing used the water control technique to perfection and easily caught the spirit fishes.
[Thinking about Fish Life] Jade Carp: "To eat or to sleep, that is the question."
【Maturity: 66%】
Li Quanqing:
I think you look more like a problem.
[Water-type Fish Flower] Jade Carp: "Fish Six actually snatched food from me this morning, but Fish Two was the most considerate and gave me all the food. But Big Brother Fish was really great last night~"
【Maturity: 71%】
Li Quanqing: It's broken! I'm not clean anymore!
[Sashimi is a mess] Green Jade Carp: "I took a nap and Sister Yuhua actually wanted to touch me. Damn it, eating is not as important as a female fish!"
【Maturity: 67%】
He is of pure blood, just like your father.
There's no hope, reopen it!
Li Quanqing felt around and couldn't help but sighing. These green jade carps really made him worry to death.
Fortunately, after raising it for so long, I finally find someone reliable.
[I want to turn into a dragon] Qingyu Carp: "Turn into a dragon! Turn into a dragon!! Turn into a dragon!!!"
【Maturity: 69%】
Li Quanqing couldn't help but smile. This green jade carp was the one with the most potential in the fish pond.
From the first day of birth, the only thought in his mind was to turn into a dragon, a natural born king of curling.
The carp held its head high, its eyes seemed to be burning with flames, its body was long and strong, and golden spots had already appeared faintly on its scales.
very good! energetic!
Li Quanqing rubbed the fish head with satisfaction, took out the spirit earthworm bait pills and fed the green jade carp, then looked at the remaining fish.
This is such a blatant difference in treatment.
"Hey, come and eat!"
A large amount of magic bait fell from the sky. The magic fish naturally didn’t understand human language and ate it with gusto.
Click!Click!
Under the water, the iron-bone crab quietly showed its eyes, and its claws moved, stirring up the water waves and causing the bait to float in its direction.
Pooh!
The Dragon-Transforming Jade Carp had excellent eyesight and was the first to notice the small movement, opening its mouth and spitting out water arrows.
Wow!
It was as if a hornet's nest had been poked. All the green jade carps rioted instantly, shooting water arrows that hit the water surface with a popping sound like rain hitting banana leaves.
In an instant, the hungry iron-boned crab was hit by the waves and was dizzy and seeing stars.
Snap! Snap!
It struggled in the waves, waving its big pincers and pinching others, making a very unique sound, calling out to its little friends.
One after another, the iron-bone crabs swam up, stepping on the waves, baring their teeth and claws, acting arrogantly, and began to snatch food.
The spirit fish and crabs gathered into a group, confronting each other across the lotus platform, like two armies fighting each other, and kept shouting.
Although Li Quanqing didn't understand what they were saying, he felt that they must be using very dirty words.
Ever since the formation barrier was lost, the Green Jade Carp and the Iron Bone Crab have been fighting every now and then.
This is the nature of monsters, dividing territories, excluding aliens, and gathering together for warmth.
Li Quanqing did not stop it, but instead fanned the flames behind the scenes.
These little guys are at the age of youth and vigor, so it is a good opportunity for them to vent their anger, which is beneficial to their physical and mental health and prevents them from killing each other.
Moreover, appropriate competition can stimulate their sense of crisis, make them more motivated to practice, and enter maturity sooner.
Li Quanqing can reap the light group rewards more easily.
When the fish and crabs were tired, he slowly took out enough bait to feed them.
[Iron Bones] Iron Bones Crab: "Damn it, I didn't do well in the verbal battle just now. Let's review it tonight!"
【Maturity: 86%】
Li Quanqing used iron ore to tease the big crabs and found out their development conditions.
In four to five months, this batch of iron-bone crabs will mature and enter the early stage of Qi Refining.
It can be seen that the potential of this monster is not as high as the Jade Carp, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for it to break through the third level of Qi Refining.
The status of the demon race is determined by bloodline. The older and nobler the bloodline, the longer it takes to develop.
Like the male green jade carp before, with his ancestral bloodline and golden patterns, he has the potential to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining or even reach the Great Perfection.
The development speed is much slower than that of female jade carp.
However, compared to the iron-bone crab, the potential of the stone loach is even worse.
Li Quanqing took out the Qingling mud he had dug out, wrapped the Qingli Sword around his body, and carefully dived to the bottom of the fish pond.
Dim light poured down from overhead, and mounds of earth rose up at the bottom of the pond, almost merging with the seabed.
No one could have imagined that those stone loaches lived in those mounds, wrapping their bodies with mud shells and going without food or water for several months.
Like an insect egg trapped in a silk cocoon, it silently accumulates strength and looks forward to the day when it will break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly.
In Li Quanqing's unique vision, wisps of white light bloomed from the mound, which was a symbol of the light ball slowly taking shape.
He evenly covered it with the Qingling mud and waited until nightfall.
The special substance contained in the soil was finally slowly absorbed by the spirit loach, and the white light became stronger and stronger.
Finally. Completely formed!
