Chapter 10 The Great Harvest of Spirit Fish
August 13, 2258, Dongjili
All the mortals near the Li family fishing ground were dispersed, leaving only a few heartfelt clan guards to guard the surroundings.
A twenty-foot-meter-a-meter-a-meter-a-meter-a-meter-a-meter-a-meter-long pool of water had been dug into the shed built by Li Jin's house. The pool was clear and five feet thick had already formed below. The water temperature above was extremely low, and the cold air was endless.
"Qingxiao, the cold air in this ice pond is enough. The water temperature in the spiritual fish activity area deep in Baimingdu is not as good as here. It is definitely possible to be used as a storage place for spiritual fish."
For five consecutive days, Li Jin's house was guarding the edge of the ice pool and personally tested the temperature in the pool. He notified Li Qingxiao only after everything was ready.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, the spirit fish we caught are temporarily stored in this ice pond. When the number is enough, ice cubes will be chiseled out and transported to Black Valley City with the spirit fish.
In addition, I informed my uncle that he would regularly replenish the saltpeter in the bottom of the pond, so that the ice would continue to flow.
The most important point is that besides the people of this clan, remember to be seen by outsiders and be sure to be foolproof.”
"I'm just not working hard or not. Don't worry, this ice pool will soon become the lifeblood of our Li family, and you will be able to watch whatever you say."
The two of them surrounded the ice pool and watched for a while, waiting for the arrival of other monks in the clan.
……………………
"Father, I'm still practicing, why did I suddenly call me here!" The person who spoke was Li Qingjie, who was quite similar to Li Jinhu's size, was tall and agile, but his appearance was still handsome and handsome from the Li family. He asked his father Li Jinhu impatiently.
Li Jinhu looked at his only son, a hint of doting flashed, and said in a gentle tone: "The clan leader has an order. From today on, all the clans who practice Qi will come to the fishing ground to help catch spirit fish. Qingjie, you are naturally no exception."
Li Qingjie turned around and found that several cousins were coming, including elder brother Li Qingming, third brother Li Qingkang, younger brother Li Qinghan, and second uncle Li Jincheng.
"Hmph, my second brother must be afraid that my cultivation level will exceed his, and I want to distract me!"
"Youngjie is very ambitious, my second brother is waiting for you to surpass me!"
Li Qingxiao's voice came from behind, and Li Jinzhai was following him, and the two walked out of the ice pool.
As a genius among the six generations of disciples, Li Qingjie, who is second only to Li Qingxiao, usually treats his second brother Li Qingxiao as his opponent. However, after all, Li Qingxiao was the leader of the clan and was arrested in person. Li Qingjie still shrank his neck hard.
The Li fishing boat is also a low-grade magic weapon, but the ship-type magic weapon is too large, so the keel and the partition are made of special animal bones. In the final analysis, it can only block the attack of the spirit fish. If you encounter a foundation-building monster, it will be similar to a paper boat.
Fortunately, Baimingdu is just a tributary in the south of the Whale Lost River. The blue-eyed golden-eyed beast is just an accident. It has not appeared in the foundation-building monster for decades.
"Everyone is on the boat!"
Li Jinzhai shouted, Li Qingxiao and the others all boarded the boat, Li Jinhu, the highest cultivation level, the sixth level of Qi training, and the lowest level of Qi training, Li Qingkang, the lowest level of Qi training.
Although Li Qingkang only had two levels of Qi training and had the lowest cultivation level, his importance was second only to his third uncle Li Jinzhai. Because he was Li Jinzhai's only son, he also stayed at Baiming Ferry for many years, and this low-grade magic weapon ship was always driven by him.
When the boat reached the middle, Li Qingxiao took out the water-avoiding beads from the ring and inputted spiritual power. The effect of the water-avoiding beads suddenly appeared.
A space of ten feet in the bottom of the water was exposed, and the boat immediately sank until it was covered by the water surface above. The entire hull entered the water, but it did not touch the water.
The left, front and back of the ship were covered by a blue water curtain. Some acquired fish swam slowly inside, and some fish seemed to be confused about how the boat appeared in the water. They stayed curiously in front of the water curtain, and some even walked out of the water surface and rushed to the boat.
Of course they all sent them away.
It is not for you little fish to mobilize eight Qi training monks.
"The water level of Baimingdu is about four miles away. There are only a few acquired and congenital monsters in the shallow water area. The spirit fish like cold and basically live in deep water areas below one mile."
While watching the surrounding situation, Li Jinzhai introduced the situation to everyone. The ship was constantly sinking, and the waterproof droplets were extremely wonderful, and everyone was quite pleasing to the eye. There was much less boredom from being dragged by the patriarch Li Qingxiao, the clan leader, to force labor.
In a moment, the speed of the boat sinking stopped and the surroundings became darker. The depth of the water was enough.
Li Jinzhai signaled everyone to stop the sound, but he quietly investigated the surrounding environment and explained in a low voice: "These spirit fish have become spirits, and their hidden skills are extremely high, and they cannot be seen by ordinary eyes. As long as they sense the spiritual power of the cultivator, they will escape if there is any abnormal movement."
Three hundred and sixty vocations, and every vocation is the top scholar. Li Jinzhai is worthy of dealing with these spirit fish for decades. After a moment, Li Jinzhai saw a colorful stone hanging quietly on the black water curtain in front of the boat, and hurriedly called everyone to pull the net.
Of course, it's just an ordinary gold casting net.
Everyone was unhappy with the intention, but after all, he was the main one and remained silent. They just cooperated with him to open the big net. When the spiritual power exploded, the colorful stone suddenly moved. Its body instantly became bigger and turned more than one meter long in an instant, trying to escape.
But the eight people came out together, and the speed was too fast when the spiritual power exploded. No matter how fast the colored stone was, it could not escape. It was firmly trapped by the gold cast net, and the force of breaking free was quite strong, but the eight Qi-training monks who were trapped, and finally escaped and fainted.
"This is a colorful spiritual carp. I like to be alone and not move easily. When I sleep, I don't move like a stone. Although I am a low-level spiritual fish, I am very big. This one looks like more than seven pounds, hehe!"
While putting the spirit carp in the cabin, Li Jinzhai smiled and said that at the price of previous years, a low-level spirit fish sold 0.2 spirit stones per pound. This seven-pound low-level spirit fish can sell 1.4 spirit stones, which means that it has completed nearly half a day's mission.
The price of living colorful spiritual power is 8.4 spirit stones, which is equivalent to his fishing volume in the past five days.
And now, it's just the beginning of today!
Everyone also felt a little admiration for him, and the subsequent fishing operations became more coordinated.
The fishing boat is only four feet in size, and it is enough to drive in the area of more than ten miles of the bottom of the fishing ground. Although the number of spiritual fish deep in the water is not flooded, it is much denser than that in the shallow water area. With Li Jinzhai's skillful skills, after a day, he traveled only one mile of water, and actually caught nearly twelve low-level spiritual fish and intermediate-level spiritual fish.
The sky gradually became gloomy, and Li Jinzhai also proposed to go back and come back tomorrow.
"Qingxiao, these spirit fish, no matter the high-level and low-level, will gather in the concentration of moonlight at night, and will be in groups. It is too difficult to catch them. Let's come again tomorrow."
Spiritual fish are just elegant names. After all, these spirit fish are just a kind of monster in the water. They belong to the monsters, and it is common sense to absorb the moonlight.
Why don’t you go fishing in groups? Just look at the faces of the rest of the Li family when they heard the four words "groups".
The difficulty of catching the only intermediate-level spiritual fish, Tiejing Crucian today is beyond Li Qingxiao's imagination. In the end, Li Jinzhai refined the top-grade magic weapon, Red Flame Spider Web, and then he dealt with the spirit fish covered in thorns.
Not to mention a large group of spiritual fishes, there may be high-level spiritual fishes mixed in between. With the eight Qi training cultivators and one of them has high-level Qi training, wouldn’t it be a matter of seeking death if they go there?
But in a moment, the boat surfaced, and the Wang family in the next fishing ground was also fishing day and night. The mortals were extremely lively, and compared to the silence on Li's side, it was a bit eye-catching. However, this time everyone in Li's heart was gone, but everyone was extremely excited.
At the edge of the cold pool, all the children of the Li family went back, leaving only Li Qingxiao and three uncles of the Jin generation. After Li Jin's house weighed one by one, they were all thrown to the bottom of the pool.
After the spirit fish entered the cold pond, they were indeed nothing unusual, and they all jumped around.
"Send it, send it, send it!!!"
Li Jinzhai exclaimed repeatedly, causing the second and fourth uncles to look at each other, staring at Li Jinzhai impatiently, asking him to quickly say the numbers.
"Twelve low-level spirit fish, totaling 42 kilograms, one middle-level spirit fish, 2 kilograms."
The original price of low-level spirit fish is 0.2 spirit stones, all calculated at six times the price. Low-level spirit fish can sell 50 spirit stones, while the original price of intermediate spirit fish is 1 spirit stone 1 kilogram, six times is 6 spirit stone 1 kilogram, and 2 kilograms is 12 spirit stones.
One day's income, 62 spirit stones!!!
When Li Qingxiao calculated, he found that the three uncles' eyes were red. When he looked at the spirit fish in the ice pond, his eyes were almost glowing.
"Qingxiao, I'm going to sleep here tonight!" Li Jinzhai didn't look back and sat on the edge of the ice pool. His dark face was full of excitement and his eyes were full of light.
These spirit fish are not only the wealth of Li, but also the future of Li! It seems that something has come to mind.
The second and fourth uncles and the fourth uncles both sat next to Li Jin's house. The three brothers of the Jin generation got so close for the first time. The three of them looked at the spirit fish swimming in the ice pond like sculptures, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
Li Qingxiao nodded slightly, understanding the mood of the three uncles, and did not dissuade them, but turned around and went back to rest.
From August 13 to September 17 days, eight monks of the Li family spent their days in the Li family fishing ground in Baimingdu.
Late at night on the first day of September, Li Qingxiao took his great-grandfather Li Yaowen to the door of the ice pond shed.
"Great grandpa, you must be mentally prepared and don't be scared!"
"Haha, Qingxiao, how many years have your great grandfather lived? I haven't seen anything before. The bridge I crossed is longer than yours, and nothing can scare me!"
Li Yaowen just felt that his great-grandson was making a big fuss and chuckled. When Li Qingxiao saw this, he didn't say much, pushed open the door and took his great-grandfather Li Yaowen to the edge of the ice pool.
Grandpa Li Yaowen walked to the edge of the ice pool and looked inside. His eyes suddenly stared at the boss, his chin trembled, and his expression on his face was completely shocked.
Red, green, color, black, the big ones are more than two meters, and the small ones are less than half a meter. Various spirit fishes wandered in the twenty-foot ice pond. After a rough look, there were at least two or three hundred.
"This...how can there be so many? There are so many spirit fish at the bottom of Baiming Dun, you won't catch all Baiming Dun!"
Hearing the great-grandfather's fearless voice, Li Qingxiao couldn't help but look proud. Looking at the spirit fish in the ice pond, the vibration in his heart was no less than that in Li Yaowen, but because he participated in catching the spirit fish throughout the whole process, he watched it accumulate little by little and accepted it in advance.
I thought the harvest on the first day was amazing enough, but who would have thought that the next one would be more terrifying day by day.
13 items on the first day, 21 items on the second day, 25 items on the third day……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
As they became more and more tacit in cooperation with Li Jinzhai, and Li Jinzhai’s control over the magic weapon of the Red Flame Spider Web became more and more exquisite, the efficiency of catching spirit fish was getting higher and higher day by day.
"Old ancestor, in this ice pond, there are a total of 729 kilograms of low-level spirit fish and 32 kilograms of intermediate-level spirit fish."
This news is not that important compared to seeing the ice pond full of spirit fish with naked eyes, but who is Li Yaowen, his brain reacts quickly.
"The low-level spirit fish has 1.2 spirit stones per kilogram and the middle-level spirit stones per 6 spirit stones. Then the spirit fish in the ice pond can sell a total of 1,066 spirit stones..."
Li Yaowen's eyes when he looked at Li Qingxiao suddenly changed. In addition to being excited, he also recognized him!
Li Qingxiao has just been the leader of the clan for only one month, with more than 1,000 spirit stones, and it is only the harvest in the past half month.
At present, September and October are still the fishing season!
A great harvest of spiritual fish!!!
Chapter completed!
