Chapter 75: Starting the Pot
Chapter 75 Starting the Pot
“Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts below the third grade ……”
Lu Xuan muttered as he swept over the spirit field, his eyes focusing on the red-bearded carp resting with closed eyes in the spirit spring pool.
The Red Whiskered Carp was an unranked Spirit Beast, so Lu Xuan planned to experiment with it first.
Spiritual energy wrapped around one of them, and with a vicious tug, he pulled it out of the Spirit Spring Pond, and before the red bearded carp could react, it was already placed into the Sheng Sheng Bag by Lu Xuan.
Spiritual sense probed into the green and black cloth bag, the red-whiskered carp floated in the chaos, shaking its head and wagging its tail, its two thin red whiskers fluttering about.
With a bang, the Red Whiskered Carp flew out of the Sheng Sheng Bag and smashed on the surface of the Spirit Spring Pond, waking up the other two.
The three red-whiskered carp that woke up from their sleep looked at each other dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened.
“Little one, come over here for a moment.”
Lu Xuan summoned the Biyou Treading Clouds Lynx, which was leaping not far away, over.
The lynx cub glanced coldly at Lu Xuan, its thick white cloud-like paws stepping noiselessly on the ground as it gracefully walked over.
“Putting you in to try ah, you’ll be out soon.”
The cloud-treading lynx nodded gently.
Lu Xuan put it into the Sheng Sheng Pouch, and a moment later, took it out again.
“Ow……”
As soon as it landed on the ground, the Cloud Treading Lynx whimpered, it could be seen that it wasn’t in a very good mood at the moment, and its voice was much more delicate than usual.
Lu Xuan’s mind converged on it, and instantly learned the reason why, as the lynx stayed in the dimly lit Sang Sang Bag on all sides, it recalled its previous experience of being locked in a cage after being captured.
“Well, don’t worry, we will try to keep you outside when we go out, and we won’t put you inside the cloth bag as a last resort.”
Lu Xuan spoke out to pacify him.
“Ow~~” the lynx lightly barked, his voice unconsciously clamped up, only due to the original voice being too rough and hoarse, a strong sense of dissonance flowed out.
The night passed.
The next day, as soon as the sky dawned, Lu Xuan got up and came to the spirit field where the Blood Jade Ginseng was located, separating the remaining Blood Jade Ginsengs that were in groups of three to five, cuddling together.
Lu Xuan also inspected the spiritual field once more, satisfying the needs of each spiritual plant in various ways according to their most subtle needs.
“Hmm?”
Finally, when he came to the Spirit Spring Pool, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but let out a soft eep.
Only to see a fist-sized white ball of light floating silently on the surface of the water, refracting light and dark rays of light between the ripples of the water.
“This is …… a Red Bearded Carp entering maturity?”
A look of surprise appeared on Lu Xuan’s face as he muttered to himself.
His mind swept through, quickly locking onto the Red Whiskered Carp that had entered its maturity stage.
“Go, grab it out of the Spirit Spring Pool.”
He pointed at the red whiskered carp that was the fattest in size and said to the cloud-treading lynx.
The lynx leapt forward, its hind paws gently stepping on the water, and pulled on the red-whiskered carp’s long, thin red whiskers.
The red-whiskered carp was involuntarily taken out of the water, and just when it thought it would fall into the Spirit Spring Pool as usual, a red needle pierced through the fish’s head and brought it into the kitchen.
“Start the pot start the pot!”
“The day it matures is the day it goes into the pot, after eating so much of my spirit rice, it’s time to repay me.”
Lu Xuan rolled up his sleeves and picked up the white light ball floating in the Spirit Spring Pool.
[Harvested a Red Bearded Carp, obtained a Second Grade Artifact Red Scale Armor]. A thought emerged from his mind, and a crimson inner armor appeared in his hand, the surface of the inner armor had scales that were densely packed like fish scales, and the protection was extremely strong.
Lu Xuan put this Second Grade Red Scale Armor into his storage bag and hurried to the kitchen.
The Split Silver Blade broke down into ten pieces of silver-white debris, and in a few breaths, he scraped the scales of the just-dead Red Whiskered Carp clean.
Lu Xuan gathered the two long thin red whiskers as well as the many scales together.
The red whiskered carp is only a non-grade spirit beast, the long whiskers and scale materials on its body naturally can’t be exchanged for many spirit stones, but Lu Xuan has never had the habit of wasting them, and put them all into his storage bag.
After working for half an hour, a pot of steaming fresh fish was brought to the table.
Lu Xuan picked up a piece, and immediately, a fresh, thick and extremely fragrant flavor filled his throat.
As soon as it entered his stomach, he felt a ray of warmth and heat flowing through his limbs and bones, warming his body.
“Having accompanied me for so long, more or less, I really can’t let go of it. ……”
Lu Xuan could not help but shed tears of sadness at the corners of his mouth, thinking of the red bearded carp when he first bought it as a tiny one, he fed it to maturity bit by bit, he could not help but feel sadness in his heart, and ruthlessly clamped a large piece of fish meat, turning it into an appetite.
Delicious in front of, step cloud lynx still maintains a reserved and elegant posture, quietly lying on Lu Xuan feet, just keep sending out a wail, signaling him to feed a few more pieces of fish meat fish bones.
Lu Xuan couldn’t withstand its meaningful clip wail, and hurriedly stuffed a large piece of fish meat into its mouth.
……
“Senior sister.”
Wang Chong’an gently knocked on the door and softly called out.
With a creak, the door to the room opened, and a young girl in red stuck her head out.
“Senior brother Wang, what’s the matter?”
“I went to the workshop market and found several kinds of spirit fruits suitable for senior sister’s spirit beasts to take, senior sister you take it and see if the red elf is interested.”
The corners of the handsome young man Wang Chongan’s mouth rose with a hint of a smile, giving people the feeling of a spring breeze.
“Many thanks to you, Senior Sister Wang.”
The red-clothed girl took the fruit plate Wang Chongan handed over and entered the inner room, walking out again in a short while, her face helpless.
In the fruit plate, there were a few spirit fruits with teeth marks on the surface, but they were all just small chips, so it was evident that the four-eyed red mandrill had a lack of interest and didn’t have much of an appetite for these kinds of spirit fruits.
“It still doesn’t work, the red mandrill has been consuming spirit fruits cultivated by the sect for a long time, it’s especially tricky with its mouth, and it has extremely high requirements for the types of spirit fruits as well as their quality.”
“Although there are varieties of these several types of spirit fruits that it can eat, the quality is only average, and it won’t eat them after one taste.”
“The red mandrill is a strange beast, naturally it doesn’t look at the wild fruits cultivated by those ordinary spirit planters in the workshop market, I’ll go and inquire for senior sister again, and find its favorite spirit fruits as soon as possible.”
Wang Chongan said with a smile, this red-clothed girl in front of him was gifted and came from an extraordinary background, the four-eyed red mandrill that he kept had a great use whether it was tracking evil spirits in the workshop market or reclaiming the secret realm behind it, so he did his best to satisfy the various requirements of one person and one beast.
“When you’re so hungry that you can’t stand it anymore, you’ll naturally eat everything.”
The girl in red looked at the four-eyed red elf in the room and said with some annoyance.
“Senior sister, don’t put this on your mind for now, there are many young talents from the major forces in the marketplace outside, who have been admiring the sect disciples for a long time, and want to make friends with the senior brothers and sisters, why don’t you go over there with me to take a break?”
“Good.”
The red-clothed girl did not hesitate and agreed.
The three of them came to a quiet garden, where there were flying eaves and warped corners, curving water goblets, and there were already more than a dozen young men and women waiting in the pavilion, all of them with extraordinary temperament.
He Yuntong, the granddaughter of the Hundred Herb Hall’s Foundation Establishment Dan Master, was also among them, her eyebrows lowered as she stood quietly in the corner.
