Chapter 130 Feeding the fish
"Okay! Let's make a deal! Give me the spiritual soil now." Long Panpan smiled and threw a storage bag at Long Xuan, but what Long Xuan didn't notice was a sly look flashing in her eyes.
He happened to be carrying the middle-grade spiritual soil with him. After he put all the middle-grade spiritual soil into the storage bag thrown by Long Panpan, he looked up and found that she had packed the stall faster than his own hands. .
After Long Panpan threw a fish bag filled with water towards Long Xuan, he quickly snatched the storage bag filled with medium-grade spiritual soil from his hand.
"When the transaction is over, none of us will be left holding any culprits."
With that said, she left quickly.
Long Xuan was stunned for a moment. He suddenly realized that something was wrong. He immediately opened the fish bag and found that the arowana inside was a small fish cub as thick as a finger. His nose suddenly became angry.
Long Panpan just said that he wanted to eat arowana for lunch. He subconsciously thought that the arowana was very big and could be eaten in one plate no matter how hard it was.
In the end, what she wanted to eat turned out to be this little fish cub, which was only as thick as a finger. It was so big that it didn’t even have enough fried sauce, and it wasn’t enough to fit between her teeth. Is she sure she wanted to eat this for lunch? Even if she loses weight, she can't just lose weight like this!
I was hunting geese all day long but got pecked in the eye by the geese. I was careless.
Fortunately, she hadn't done too much, and there were five arowanas in the fish bag instead of two. Five golden arowanas will also reproduce faster.
After buying the fry, he started to buy lambs and cows. Of course, he also wanted to trade more of the big ones.
As for the varieties, of course, the main thing is to choose the most delicious ones.
He needed a lot of them, so he didn't know how many beast-taming bags he had to buy.
But soon he handed over this arduous task to his avatar, and ran back to the mountain quickly. The golden arowana was difficult to raise, and he was afraid that the golden arowana would die if he delayed for too long. He urgently needed to go back and put the golden arowana into the mountain. In the spiritual spring.
After returning to the spiritual spring, Long Xuan immediately opened the fish bag and poured all the golden arowanas as thick as his fingers into the spiritual spring, causing a splash of water.
As soon as the golden arowana entered the spiritual spring, it looked languid just now, but instantly became energetic and swam happily in the spiritual spring, full of activity.
It seems that they are very satisfied with their new home, and even like it more than the place where they used to live.
Long Xuan was stunned. It seemed that he was no longer needed. The golden arowana seemed to be able to survive if put in the spiritual spring. There was no need for him to study the method of breeding golden arowana.
The only thing he needs to do is to research the fish feed that can increase the fastest growth rate of Arowana as soon as possible, so that they can grow meat at the fastest speed, and strive to eat meaty and plump Arowana next year.
The meat of the golden arowana is like the legendary dragon meat, and he can't wait to taste it.
Long Xuan quickly walked to his insect breeding room, filled a bag of spiritual insects from it, and then returned to the spiritual spring.
His medicinal garden was vast and produced countless spiritual insects, all of which were raised in the insect room. He selected some inexpensive spiritual insects to feed the fish.
However, fish feed cannot be researched for the time being, but fish must eat insects, so we should first use low-value spiritual insects to deal with the emergency.
He squatted next to the spiritual spring and threw one insect after another into the spiritual spring. The sharp-eyed golden arowanas suddenly swam over in excitement and frantically snatched the spiritual insects that fell into the water.
Suddenly there were splashes, popping sounds, and chaos in the water.
Long Xuan just watched with interest. It was obvious that he could pour all the spirit worms in the breeding bag directly into the water, but he insisted on throwing them one by one, watching the fish fight for a single spirit worm. , this is the joy of feeding fish, and the fun in it is not enough for outsiders to understand.
Just when he was enjoying feeding the fish, the brood bag suddenly moved. He took out a letter from the brood bag and read it, showing a slightly surprised look. The house built by Long Lao's cockroach could actually be connected to the pyramid. A hut?
Although the materials used in the pyramid hut built by my own cockroach were not the most expensive, the quality was far from comparable to that of a shabby thatched hut.
He put away the letter and finally threw all the spirit insects in the breeding bag into the water.
Now there was no need for anyone to grab it. The five golden arowanas showed excited eyes and frantically chased the spirit insects that fell into the water. It was like eating a buffet, each of them could eat to their fullest.
Since their appetites were so good, it seemed that they would not die if they lived in the spiritual spring. Long Xuan felt relieved and left the spiritual spring and walked towards Elder Long's Ruby Peak.
After finding the eye-catching shabby thatched cottage on Hongyu Peak, he walked in without knocking because there was no door.
Long Xuan really couldn't imagine how much debt he owed. With the speed of making money as a third-grade alchemist, he still hadn't repaid the debt, and even the dragonfly had to suffer with him.
Thinking of the grasshopper, Long Xuan hurriedly looked at the grasshopper in the thatched house, and saw that a house built of third-grade waste elixir had appeared in the house at some point. The grasshopper was staying inside, with half of its head exposed towards the house. Looking outside.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Long also had an idea and could think of using third-grade waste elixirs to build a house for the grasshoppers, which was considered a waste utilization.
Waste elixir is of little use to humans, but after all, it has enough energy, so it is a good choice to use it as building materials for bugs.
However, using third-grade waste elixirs as building materials can only be regarded as mid-range building materials, barely in the middle of the pack among the houses of the Li Gu family. This clan is really too busy now.
After noticing Long Xuan coming in, Mr. Long turned to look at him and said, "What I want to ask you for has been clearly stated in the letter. The family has entrusted me to refine the third-grade Black Dragon Pill."
"It is extremely difficult to refine the Xuanlong Pill, and you have a keen sense of smell in controlling the temperature, so I need your help."
Long Xuan was not surprised at all. He had already known that the family wanted to cultivate a second Gu King, and it was highly likely that Long Lao would refine the Breakthrough Pill.
To be honest, Long Lao was a genius in alchemy, but he was not a peerless genius. He was capable of challenging the Xuanlong Pill, but it was his first time and he would consume a huge amount of materials.
However, the family must have been mentally prepared to waste a lot of materials. At this time, there were countless third-grade spiritual medicines piled up in the house.
"How confident are you?" Long Xuan asked.
"It's hard to say. Alchemy depends on how many materials there are. As long as there are enough materials, you will be able to refine it sooner or later. It depends on how much resources the family is willing to invest." Long Lao said after a moment of silence.
"Time is urgent, let's refine the pill first. The first time you refine the pill, you will definitely fail. There is no need to have any psychological pressure. The main thing is to accumulate experience."
As he said, Long Lao took out a huge alchemy furnace and placed it on the ground, and at the same time threw a pill recipe to Long Xuan.
Long Xuan caught it quickly and glanced at the recipe at the fastest speed.
Xuanlong Dan requires 1,200 ingredients. Needless to say, refining Xuanlong Dan must be extremely time-consuming.
But this is normal. This is a rare third-grade recipe, belonging to a high-level elixir. How can it be refined in a very short time?
The higher the level of the elixir, the longer it takes to refine. This is the law of nature.
However, the amount of pills produced is a bit contrary to common sense. So many materials are put into the furnace, but only one pill is produced. Isn’t this too little?
You know, there will be waste pills in alchemy, so there is a pill rate.
If only one elixir is produced, it is very likely to be a waste pill. This is no different from a failed elixir, which increases the failure rate of refining Xuanlong Dan in disguise.
Long Xuan couldn't help but frown and asked, "So many spiritual medicines were put into the furnace, but only one spiritual pill came out. Isn't this a bit against the law of conservation of mass?"
Old Long glanced at him and said, "Where did you hear this? I have never heard of the law of conservation of mass in all these years. According to this statement, how can the giant transformation technique not exist?"
"You have to know that alchemy is a process of removing impurities and taking the essence. The essence is already very little, and to refine high-level spiritual pills, you have to take the essence of the essence. Most of the essence will be burned, and the essence of the remaining essence will naturally be very little."
"It's good to be able to condense into one spiritual pill. How many more do you want? One furnace can produce hundreds of them, and make hundreds of Gu Kings for the family?"
Hearing this, Long Xuan seemed to have realized something and finally understood the truth. That is to say, the future tenth-grade spiritual pill may require tens of thousands of materials, but only a few pills can be produced. It is reasonable, absolutely reasonable.
He looked at the description of Xuanlong Dan in the recipe again and found that Xuanlong Dan only had a 10% breakthrough rate. If a Gu cultivator of the Long family bloodline swallowed Xuanlong Dan, there would be a 20% breakthrough rate.
However, even a 20% breakthrough rate is too low, right?
He still remembered that Chonglingcao also had a 20% breakthrough rate when swallowed raw, but in the eyes of Old Long, it was not enough to make the Ten Absolute Body break through.
Now the breakthrough rate of Xuanlong Dan is also 20%, which means that after he becomes a peak Gu cultivator of the Linghai period in the future, Xuanlong Dan will probably be useless to him.
He had come here excitedly when he saw Old Long sending a message to him to help refine Xuanlong Dan, thinking that he could get a very awesome recipe for free.
Now it seems that he got it for nothing. Xuanlong Dan is useless to him. After he becomes a peak Gu cultivator of the Linghai period, he will probably have to create a breakthrough recipe with a higher breakthrough rate. It seems that he will go further and further on the road of self-creation.
After he simply read the recipe of Xuanlong Dan, he began to assist Old Long in refining Xuanlong Dan.
He was very interested in participating in the refining of the third-grade elixir. He knew the process of refining high-level elixir in advance, and he could accumulate experience in advance. When he stepped into the threshold of the third-grade alchemist, he would be more efficient.
Not long after, there was a rumble from the furnace, and the explosion was deafening. A large amount of black smoke flew out of the furnace instantly, and the old man and the young man kept coughing in the black smoke.
The 蓑補 quickly closed the doors and windows to block the black smoke outside.
"What's going on? What went wrong?"
"Ahem! I don't know? Maybe your hands are shaking! Didn't you say that the first time you refine the elixir, you will definitely fail, so don't be nervous?"
...
Obviously, Long Lao had no experience in refining the Xuanlong Pill, and he was also exploring on his own. Long Xuan could learn limited things from him.
