Cultivating Immortality: Starting from Ferrying Passengers

Chapter 50 Golden Bone Catfish
With food in hand, he was not worried. After coming out of the market, Fang Jingxuan felt much more relaxed.

I can hide here for a long time.

The cost of making a silent note is about forty low-grade spirit stones, and now the revenue is ninety-five, with a profit margin of more than half, which is very good.

However, the market on Wu Laosan's side is already saturated. He won't buy any more silent instruments without a few months to digest them.

It would be great if we could ship at any time.

Fang Jingxuan was daydreaming about beautiful things, sitting cross-legged on top of Tuoyuan, letting Tuoyuan lead him around.

Watching Tuoyuan walking towards the market, Fang Jingxuan suddenly remembered his split-mouthed catfish.

Oh no, I’ve been immersed in spiritual practice and no one is feeding these catfish. Won’t they all die?
Fang Jingxuan slapped his head and asked Tuoyuan to change the route, so Tuoyuan turned around and ran towards the dock outside.

Arriving at the pond where the split-mouthed catfish were raised, Fang Jingxuan's mood began to sink.

But not much has sunk. After all, I didn't spend much effort in cultivating these catfishes, so not many resources were wasted.

At worst, we can catch another batch and repeat the cycle. It will just take more time.

With this thought in mind, Fang Jingxuan felt much better. As long as I could think positively, nothing could make me depressed.

There seemed to be a dark shadow swimming under the water. Fang Jingxuan was delighted when he discovered it.

I didn't expect to gain anything. Being able to survive until now when there is absolutely not enough food, no matter what it is, it's worth it.

Upon seeing this, Fang Jingxuan called Tuoyuan and asked him to activate his water control talent to find all the moving things in the pool.

Not long after, a large bony catfish that was five feet long was lifted out by Tuyuan.

Looking at the bony catfish flapping in the air, Fang Jingxuan frowned slightly. Is this the final winner among the catfish after going through all kinds of killing and fighting?

This bone catfish does have a hint of spiritual energy, and it seems that it has the potential to be cultivated as a spiritual pet.

But compared with Tuoyuan, this qualification is too poor.

Of course, after Fang Jingxuan's continuous training, Tuoyuan's value has increased dramatically, and he is not someone that any ordinary fry can cheat.

"I remember there was a mutant catfish back then. It was very cunning. Could it be dead too?"

Fang Jingxuan murmured to himself. Tuoyuan had not found the whereabouts of the other bony catfish just now, but Fang Jingxuan remembered the cleverness of this bony catfish and felt that this guy should not die so easily.

This pond has been tampered with by myself, and it is difficult for the creatures inside to escape. Although the mutated bone catfish is clever and possesses intelligence beyond its peers, it is still far inferior to the means of cultivators.

Since he couldn't run away and it wasn't so easy to die, Fang Jingxuan guessed that this little guy was probably hiding.

Even Tu Yuan didn't notice this hiding method.

"It seems that this is the only gain. Oh, forget it. Let's go, Xiao Yuan."

Fang Jingxuan reminded Tuoyuan loudly, and Tuoyuan understood what he meant. The man and the turtle slowly walked away with the big catfish.

After a long time, a ripple appeared on the pond, and a golden catfish the size of a palm quietly emerged from the crevice of the rock.

It looked around and after confirming that there was no danger, it swam around comfortably.

Before, when the big catfish was here, it didn't dare to move around. Now that it's gone, this pond will be its world from now on.

Suddenly, the golden catfish was startled and just as it was about to dive, it was lifted up out of thin air. "Haha, little catfish, you've also learned to play tricks on me."

Fang Jingxuan and Tuo Yuan appeared from the side. He had just walked a short distance and sneaked back. To be on the safe side, he took a silent photo of himself and Tuo Yuan.

Although this catfish has now developed intelligence, it is still experienced and cunning. How can it compare to Fang Jingxuan, who is so cunning and treacherous?

Tuo Yuan smiled with his eyes narrowed and his mouth opened and closed, looking a little greedy.

This frightened the catfish so much that it immediately bowed towards Fang Jingxuan's position to show its submission.

"You're still able to hide and know when to advance and retreat. Your potential for mutation, this catfish, is all in your brain."

Fang Jingxuan was very satisfied with the harvest of a mutant bone catfish. It is very rare to find a spiritual fish with such intelligence.

The key is that this catfish has a beautiful appearance, golden in color, and has a good meaning.

Gold is the most precious thing among mortals. In the world of cultivation, there are also many materials that need to be refined into gold, so gold is not a cheap material. However, it is very important to both cultivators and mortals.

If this bone catfish were to be sold, it would probably be worth a lot of spirit stones, but Fang Jingxuan felt that spirit stones could be earned slowly, but this bone catfish would be hard to come by in the future.

"Looking at your behavior, you're just like Old Six. From now on, I'll call you Sixth Child. When I advance to the middle stage of Qi Refining, I'll contract you then."

Fang Jingxuan was thinking this way. In comparison, the catfish he had caught before, although it was quite large and ferocious, had much less potential than Liucui.

The greater the potential of a monster, the more valuable it is, and the higher its future ceiling will be. Fang Jingxuan doesn't want to leave his precious contract position to that stupid, big, black and rough catfish.

Because the total amount of a cultivator's soul is limited, he cannot contract as many monsters as he wants. At most, he can contract three in the Qi Refining Stage.

Of course, if the contracted monster is relatively weak, you can contract one or two more, but the scene where dozens of monsters overwhelm the enemy with a wave of the hand will generally not occur.

However, if one has a special innate ability and comprehends special magical talents, such as reducing the total amount of the spirit soul of the contracted spirit beast, or has external assistance such as special skills and magic tools, one can still contract monster beasts.

However, this type of cultivator is basically a rare beast-taming seed that ordinary cultivators cannot come across. Therefore, most cultivators have to use the rules of the three-headed contracted monster beast.

Fang Jingxuan has no talent in taming beasts and can only contract three at present. Excluding Tuyuan, he is in the Qi Refining Stage and has two more left.

After obtaining such a spiritual object, Fang Jingxuan hurried back. The [Wanshou Hanbai] was still in his storage bag, but it had wilted after a long time.

On the way back, Fang Jingxuan was playing with the water ball in his hand. In the water ball, which was the size of his head, a golden catfish the size of a palm was spitting bubbles.

On Tuoyuan's back, the huge bony catfish was tied up. This guy was not smart enough and kept flapping his arms and legs. He had a ferocious temper, so naturally he was not treated like the six cubs.

At this time, Fang Jingxuan looked at the six cubs in his hand and the big catfish behind him, and thought of the [Wanshou Hanbai] and the ginseng tree in his storage bag.

His desire to own a house of his own became stronger and stronger.

You can't always carry all your belongings with you every time you go out, right?
However, it is not easy for Fang Jingxuan to renovate the courtyard he is renting now. After all, the landlord is there. If he digs a hole in the yard to raise fish, he will have to explain it.

Fang Jingxuan not only wanted to do so much, he also wanted to buy a formation to completely protect his own courtyard, so that even if he went out for a few days in the future, he would not have to worry about his house being robbed.

After all, petty theft is easy, but breaking through the formation to rob in a big way would be an insult to the market town, which is not a matter of the same nature.

"Last time, Lao He told me there were cheap houses for sale. I didn't want to buy one at first, but now I have no choice but to go and take a look. I never thought I would still have to worry about buying a house in my life."

Fang Jingxuan was muttering to himself, while Tuoyuan was swimming quickly on the water surface. Soon, they arrived at Hongyefang.
