From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 237 Water Silk Spider Factory and Moon Pod

On the west bank of Hushan Island, since the Dangkang sacrifice on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the snake vines and snake ginseng in the snake medicine fields have sprouted and taken root, and snake grass and white snake grass have also grown.

Yu Shuyang didn't remember that Zhu Gangbiao was coming on the tenth day of the lunar month. Jingchuwei had received a flying talisman to send a message, so he led five students to wait in advance.

These days, in addition to taking care of the snake medicine field, he also led the five bee monsters to the Dangkangli Temple. The wooden statue had appeared after the sacrifice, so it should be sent to the temple.

In particular, there is a tribe of earth pigs on the island. This is the ancestral temple of the future earth pigs. The Jingchu Wei who built the temple also had some selfish motives.

The Sand Pig and the Thornwood Snake both belong to the Dang Kang clan. If he doesn't do something small, he will probably become a vassal of the Yu family.

By observing the Golden Bee Clan these days, he could see the methods that Yu Shuyang used to control his subordinates. The foundation of the immortal families in the inland of Jiuzhou was simply not comparable to that of the nouveau riche demon immortals like them in the East China Sea.

Zhu Gangbiao got off the boat first at the coast, followed by five eighth-grade late-stage spider monsters and ten ninth-grade early-stage ones. This was all the second-largest family could produce.

He went back to report the matter, which immediately alarmed the Haixia Fairy. The Yu family's wealth was now rising, which could be said to be like a flood.

First, the Yu family's business, Wuzhi steamed bun fish, was a hit throughout the entire Kuhai Cliff Island. The Haixia Fairy asked Zhu Sanniang about it, and she said that it was no exaggeration to say that they were making a fortune every day.

Moreover, the Yu family's business is about to increase tenfold or twentyfold. Once it reaches that scale, it will definitely be a third-grade demon fairy family.

Secondly, Yu's mother and father were successively promoted to the sixth rank. The more accurate news is that Yu's father is likely to break through to the fifth rank in the next ten to twenty years.

With financial strength and potential as a member of a demon fairy family, Yu Shuyang is the best great-grandson-in-law in the eyes of the demon fairy Haixia.

Originally, the Haixia Fairy was going to come here in person, but later Zhu Gangbiao received news from the Jingchu Guards that the young lady of the Dongyi Yao family was also on the island.

For a moment, the fairy Haixia regretted it again. Years ago, she heard that Li Zhen went to Sanxian Island to seek immortal fate, and his fiancée Mu Lingge was with him.

She regretted it deeply at first, but now she was heartbroken. She decided not to come to Hushan Island anymore, but to go to Wuhui Cave in Qianzhang Cliff to discuss Li Li's marriage.

Here, Zhu Gangbiao was asked to increase the cooperation treatment and to find out the relationship between Yu Shuyang and the young lady of the Yao family.

Yu Shuyang and the bee demon Jinhu also arrived at the west bank and saw Zhu Gangbiao bringing fifteen spider spirits, each carrying large and small bags.

"Young man from the Yu family, I wish you a happy new year." Zhu Gangbiao greeted him with a fist salute as soon as he came up.

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year."

Yu Shuyang also politely returned the greeting.

"Young man from the Yu family, I've brought you a great gift this time. I know you're short of manpower, so I've brought everyone here in advance.

I brought five late eighth-grade Water Moon Spiders, ten early ninth-grade Water Light Spiders, spiritual plant seedlings, and spiritual spider eggs."

Zhu Gangbiao introduced them rather generously, then pulled Yu Shuyang aside and muttered softly, "Brother Yu, we are not outsiders anymore.

Let me tell you something here, the Water Light Spider, Water Moon Spider and us Sea Spiders are from the same clan but different tribes.

We have helped raise them until now. If you can win them over, they can live with you for a long time in the future just like the Golden Bee Clan.

Can you understand what I mean?"

After saying that, Zhu Gangbiao winked at Yu Shuyang, and Yu Shuyang understood in an instant that he was sending helpers to him.

Just now he was thinking that spiders, ants, bees and butterflies are all maternally related, and before they have broken through to the fifth level in their cultivation, they cannot be too far away from the insect nest.

It turned out that the two groups of spider spirits in front of him came from separate nests. He naturally welcomed this. Spiders and spring silkworms were the only two weavers. They had to refine the spiritual embryos of robes and vestments first.

"Oh, how can I express my gratitude? I really don't know what to say." Yu Shuyang was really moved.

These are fifteen goblins, which immediately alleviated the manpower crisis on Hushan Island, and there are more sand pigs that will become goblins in the future.

"Young man from the Yu family, we are one family and we don't have to talk behind each other's backs. You are Sanniang's adopted son, which means you are half a relative of our Sea Spider.

When good things happen, you naturally think of your family. There is nothing else to say. If there are any good things in the future, you have to think of our Sister Hui.

She was the most promising of our second-largest family, but she just had a bit of bad luck. Every time I think about this, I feel sad for my niece."

As Zhu Gangbiao spoke, he secretly looked at Yu Shuyang. Seeing that he was dull and didn't react, he felt secretly anxious.

Yu Shuyang's mind was full of how to deal with the fifteen spider spirits, and he didn't hear the deeper meaning of Zhu Gangbiao's words. When he came to his senses, he saw Zhu Gangbiao staring at him.

"Uncle Zhu, I have something to trouble you with. I want to buy a live wind spirit. I'd like to know the price and when I can buy it."

Yu Shuyang quickly changed the subject. He really didn't take to heart what Zhu Gangbiao said just now. He felt uncomfortable being stared at.

"A living wind spirit? That's easy. I'll send a message to the eldest wife. They will definitely have it. The price and other things are negotiable." Zhu Gangbiao agreed without thinking.

The Sea Spider family is the eldest branch, and they run a business of weaving wind-repairing nets and robes, and have dealings with wind-catching ships from all over the place.

The capture of wind spirits at sea happens every day, and storms can occur at any time. Even if the wind spirits in the eye of the wind are not captured, most of them will eventually be consumed by the storm and will not be born at all.

"Then I'll trouble you. Please send me a flying talisman anytime you have any news. Let's go to the Waterlight Grapevine.

This time, too, the island has just been blessed by the gods of health and happiness. This year, the island will have a bountiful harvest, and it is destined to be a good year."

As Yu Shuyang was talking and introducing, he felt a throbbing on his neck without noticing. He stopped and took it out to have a look.

In addition to the Bailin Zhanyuan Sword hanging around his neck, he also had his nephew's Bashe egg, and he would use his magical power to silently nourish it during the day.

Spider-web-like blood patterns appeared on the snake eggs. As the magic power was input, the blood patterns contracted back and forth like breathing.

Yu Shuyang felt his nephew's vitality again to ensure that he was developing and growing normally. He didn't dare to let his nephew suffer any harm.

If something really happened, his eighth sister, his eighth brother-in-law, and Yu's father and mother would not let him off. Of course, he would also feel guilty.

Seeing that Zhu Gangbiao was still staring at him, he didn't explain anything and put the python eggs into the red cloth bag and hung it back around his neck as usual.

Then a group of more than a dozen monsters headed straight for the Water Grape Vine. Since the last time the vine drank the Tianyi True Water, it has grown to five hundred feet long and is as long as a dragon.

A few days ago, the island was blessed by two pig gods, and the water grapes grew rapidly again. They are now eight hundred feet long. The vines have sprouted green leaves early, and the water is shimmering.

Zhu Gangbiao went to speak to the spider spirits he had brought with him, and they began unpacking their bags, taking out pine and cypress saplings and planting them in three or five rows, far away from the grapevines. They then began to sow some grass and flower seeds, all of which were water- and water-light-type spiritual plants. When they were done, they dug shallow pits beneath the grapevines and buried the spider eggs.

These buried spider eggs are spiritual insects. Like sand pigs and blue rock sheep, they are spiritual beasts that cannot develop intelligence.

This is how the water silk spider factory works. They plant spiritual plants that are suitable for the spiders to live in, wait for them to hatch and grow, and then spin silk and make webs year after year until the end of their lives.

Yu Shuyang thought about it and marked out 5,000 acres of land, giving it to the 15 spider spirits, allowing them to transform it as they pleased. After all, if they wanted to settle down, they would also have to build a corresponding insect nest.

After learning that both spider spirits had to live in water, he pondered for a long time. Should he divert the water from the Jinyuan Creek? The water in that creek was too rich in gold energy and gold sand.

Is it a water vein drawn from Jishuitan?
Junior brother Li Taiping has been cultivating the spiritual water and impacting that half of the water eye. It is not easy to change the water flow at the moment. After thinking about it, the only way is to attract wind and water here when setting up the formation.

Yu Shuyang asked them to dig out the pools and ponds first, and then use the Dragon Carp Wanfa Bell to pray for rain. He then used the Tianyi True Water Pearl to transform it into spiritual rain.

This time when setting up the formation on the island, he planned to use the two precious beads as talismans. The clouds and mists protecting the island were refined with Xuanming True Water and Tianyi True Water respectively. With Xuanming True Water protecting the outside, there was no need to worry about ghosts landing on the island to cause trouble.

The water spiders quickly dug two ponds. The Water Light Spider liked shallow water, so the pond was shallow and occupied more space. The Water Moon Spider liked deep water, so it dug the pond like a sea well.

Yu Shuyang took out the Dragon Carp Wanfa Bell and first shook the bell tongue three times to summon a gust of spring breeze. In fact, he could now create wind with just a thought.

With the blessing of the magical power of wind, three spring breezes gathered on the island like a gale, stirring up the clouds and rain in an instant. This is how the wind force law of strong winds gathers wind, and thus all of them are wind disasters caused by typhoons landing.

Seeing the strong wind blowing on the island, Yu Shuyang hurriedly took out the Yin-Yang True Shape Fan, and fanned the Tiansheng with the back side facing outward, while the Tai Chi Green Ox side released the Chongqi Xiyan Wind.

After three or five fans were blown out in succession, the wind and clouds gathered together, and it was indeed worthy of being called the gentle wind that carries both yin and yang.

The monsters who were watching were confused. Then they saw Yu Shuyang shaking the bell, and a strong wind blew on the island. He then waved his small fan a few times, and dark clouds spread out in the sky like a mountain collapsing.

Yu Shuyang shook the Dragon Carp Wanfa Bell again and cast the dragon language rain-praying spell. A dragon roar went straight into the dark clouds, and in an instant, raindrops fell like beads, crackling and falling to the ground.

He then took out the Tianyi True Water Pearl and exhaled five times towards the sky, transforming the clouds and rain into spiritual water, just enough to nourish Hushan Island.

The spring rain is fine and dense. The rain is not only nectar and spiritual water, but also contains a harmonious energy of yin and yang. It nourishes the spiritual plants to sprout and grow as soon as it hits the ground.

All the aquatic plants and water grasses planted by the water spiders have sprouted. Not only that, a bunch of bean pods have grown beside the Water Moon Spider's pond.

This bean pod is very strange. It is moon-white in color and emits a lunar aura. There are ten bean pods on the bean grass, all growing on the east side. There is no other leaf.

Yu Shuyang could recognize by intuition that this bunch of bean pods must be the Taiyin spiritual plant, the Taiyin spiritual plant that he had been looking for in many places but couldn't find.

"What is this?" Yu Shuyang asked in confusion.

Before Zhu Gangbiao could explain, he saw Yao Jihua running over. Before she came close, her cheerful voice arrived first.

"Master Yu, your ability to summon wind and rain is truly remarkable, but how can you cast a spell to cause the nectar to rain?
We've just reclaimed 30,000 mu of sacred land and planted five kinds of fruit trees and eight kinds of domestic trees. It's a bit too hasty for you to cast a spell to bring rain right now."

Yao Jihua was attracted here by the spiritual rain. Yu Shuyang cast a spell to bring rain to the entire island. She and her three cousins were casting a spell to imitate plowing. It was mainly the cousins who were doing the work. She was cultivating the benevolent beast Zhuo Yu and did not know how to cultivate the land.

"Ah, isn't this the moon pod with the auspicious grass growing on the steps? Look at the ten pods on the east side, they just match the current moon and time.

I never thought that your island, right next to the desolate sea, could be such a peaceful place." Yao Jihua couldn't help but sigh.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, she followed the woodcarver Dang Kang and saw with her own eyes the 70,000 to 80,000 mu of spiritual fields here. Among them, the tea gardens and semen fields were of extremely high value, and the flower fields and snake medicine fields were not cheap either.

When Yu Shuyang asked her how to manage the newly reclaimed spiritual fields, she told him about the resettlement of the Dongyi people out of spite. She had thought it was just a casual remark, but she didn't expect that he actually agreed.

According to her arrangement, the natural thing is to continue to expand the sesame fields, tea gardens, and flower fields. This is the way to run a business and maximize the advantages.

"So this is the moon pod." Yu Shuyang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It is true that the moon pod is a spiritual plant of Taiyin, but it is a useless thing.

The beans in the pods are not elixir of life. Their only function is to record the months. In the first half of the month, the pods grow on the east side, one pod a day. In the second half of the month, they grow on the west side.

By the end of January, the bean pods will wither automatically, and only a few of them will survive and sprout and grow again on the first night of the next month.

This thing is generally used for counting like the yarrow used for counting and divination. In comparison, the moon pod has no other use except to show the phase of the moon.

After thinking it over, Yu Shuyang decided to ask for a few grains and plant them in the Xuanming dark soil. Even if they were not Taiyin spiritual medicines, they could barely be considered Taiyin spiritual herbs.

"I wonder if you still have these moon pod seeds? Can you give me a few?" Yu Shuyang asked.

The oldest of the five Water Moon Spider Spirits came out, took out a small paper bag, and said, "That's all we have left. We planted them according to tradition, and most of the time they don't sprout."

The Water Moon Spider lives in the shadow of the moon, so it likes to live in deep wells. It also plants some Taiyin spiritual plants beside the wells.

Unfortunately, the Water Moon Spider, like other spider families, perished in the war between bees and ants. When the Haixia Fairy was searching for the remaining spider eggs, she found a bag of these useless moon pods.

Yu Shuyang took out the soul-guiding banner and attracted the Xuan and Huang energies, directly sending the remaining bean seeds into the underworld, and his mind followed them into it.

He didn't dare to waste time, so he scattered the bean seeds into the spiritual field in front of the earliest Xuanming Wenqu Temple, and let the moon pods grow. Anyway, they were not Taiyin elixir.

I quickly withdrew my mind, but fortunately the time that passed was very short, only a breath of time, and most of the surrounding monsters didn't notice it.

"Master Yu, are you collecting the Taiyin elixir?" Yao Jihua came over and asked in a low voice.

When Yu Shuyang heard this, he knew there was a trick, and hurriedly asked with a careful smile: "Miss Yao, what advice do you have for me?"

"It's not a big deal to teach me. There are only three places related to moon medicine in our East China Sea.

The first one is the Qingqiu Moon Fox. There is no need to explain this one. They have inherited the moon worship method and have been offering sacrifices to the moon and collecting moon medicine for generations.

The second one is the sixteenth dragon girl of the Dragon Palace. Her bloodline is the white dragon toad, and she needs moon medicine to cleanse her bloodline.

The last one is the Dongyi Bai family, whose family has a deer in the true form of a moon." Yao Jihua said with a smile.
