Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 94: Cold Star Shell

On Yuxi Island, the stream meanders like a jade belt. Accompanied by a breeze, Jiang Chen's figure slowly falls.

"Greetings, Sect Master."

Seeing Jiang Chen landing, the Taiping Sect disciples waiting here immediately saluted, their eyes full of respect.

After wiping out the Yuling Sect, the Taiping Sect sent people to guard this place.

"Take me to see those shellfish."

After taking a look at the leading Taiping Sect disciple, Jiang Chen gave an order.

Upon hearing this, the Taiping Sect disciple immediately bowed in response.

Not long after, under the guidance of the Taiping Sect disciple, Jiang Chen arrived at the upper half of Yuxi, where the Yuling Sect had opened up a clear pond specifically for feeding these spiritual clams.

"Is this the Cold Star Shell given by the Gao family?"

His eyes fell on the clear pool, and as he looked at the spiritual shells, Jiang Chen's eyes moved slightly.

These spirit shells are like black jade all over, with more or less yellow spots on them, just like starlight, which is quite pleasing against the backdrop of the pool water. It is for this reason that it is named Hanxing Shell.

"Normally, the more star points on a Cold Star Shell, the better its quality. It seems the Gao family gave the Yuling Sect mostly shells of average quality, but there are some good ones among them."

With his perception spreading out, Jiang Chen locked onto nine pairs of relatively special shellfish species, which had significantly more spots on their bodies than other shellfish species.

"The Cold Star Shell can produce a spiritual substance called Cold Marrow Fluid. This spiritual substance has two main uses: one is for refining artifacts, helping cultivators to sacrifice and refine magical instruments, and the other is for physical training, which can strengthen the cultivator's physique. Ordinary quality spirit shells can only produce low-quality Cold Marrow Fluid, while these high-quality ones can produce first-grade Cold Marrow Fluid."

"The Gao family is famous for their weapon refining skills, and Cold Marrow Fluid is a spiritual item they particularly need. Their willingness to donate nine pairs of high-quality spiritual shells to the Yuling Sect shows, to some extent, that they value the Yuling Sect."

After carefully feeling the condition of these spirit shells and confirming that they were fine, all sorts of thoughts flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

What he didn't know was that although the Gao family gave the Yuling Sect 108 pairs of shellfish species, they were actually ordinary shellfish species at first, and there were only 50 pairs in total. As for the extra number and the 9 pairs of high-quality shellfish species, they were all secretly added by Gao Sixing himself.

According to the agreement he reached privately with Yulingmen, he provided the shellfish seeds, and Yulingmen was responsible for reproduction and cultivation. Most of the profits afterwards belonged to him, and all the output could only be handed over to him for processing and could not flow out. As for Yulingmen breaking its promise, he was not worried at all. After all, the Gao family stood behind him, and he was not someone a poor family of Yulingmen could afford to offend.

The reason why he valued the Yuling Sect was more because the Yuling Sect's skills had certain advantages in this regard, but he never expected that the Yuling Sect would disappear just like that.

"The Yuling Sect left behind thirty kilograms of spiritual sand. It may seem like a lot, but a significant portion of it is actually used to cultivate the Frost Star Shell. After all, although the spiritual energy on Yuxi Island is better than other places, it's still quite limited, not even as good as Muyu Island."

After carefully thinking about the key points of feeding the Hanxing Clam, Jiang Chen did not plan to keep the Hanxing Clam on Yuxi Island any longer.

The Taiping Sect cannot even manage Muyu Island well now, but it does not have more resources to invest in Yuxi Island. However, Hanxing Bei Xihan can also meet this requirement on Muyu Island, and it can even meet this requirement better than Yuxi Island.

In the river bay of Mihun Bay, although most of the water is not deep and the water quality is relatively warm, there are still several ditches crisscrossing back and forth like chains, which contain a cold and gloomy power, making it perfect for breeding cold star shells.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen took out a huge ice tank from his storage bag. It was given by the Gao family and was specially used to transfer the Hanxing Shell.

"receive!"

Jiang Chen transformed his Qi into silk and quickly collected all the shellfish species into the ice vat. The Taiping Sect's foundation was still too weak. Apart from the demon skin he had personally refined, they had nothing else to offer. If the Cold Star Shellfish could be cultivated well, it would be a good source of income for the Taiping Sect.

"Practicing is difficult, and accumulating a little wealth is not easy."

After leaving a sigh and confirming that nothing was missed, Jiang Chen floated away.

Three days later, after some effort, Jiang Chen successfully made these spirit clams adapt to the environment of Mihun Bay and took root in the ditches of Mihun Bay.

"These spirit clams don't have much offensive power. The exit of the ditch used for breeding has been blocked with iron nets by Taiping Sect disciples. For now, there's no need to worry about them escaping."

"Observe for a while longer, and once you're sure there are no problems, you can use a special aphrodisiac powder to help these spirit shells multiply."

Jiang Chen's true Qi flowed around and he sensed carefully. Seeing that these cold star shells were as comfortable as if they had returned to their hometown, he felt the joy of an old farmer in his heart.

"Grow up quickly."

With a smile on his face and some expectation, Jiang Chen sprinkled a handful of spiritual sand into the ditch.

After doing all this, Jiang Chen turned around and returned to Muyu Island.

Shortly after Jiang Chen left, a black shadow emerged from the mud in the ditch that fed the spiritual clams. It opened its mouth and kept swallowing the spiritual sand. Finally, it cast its gaze on the Hanxing Clam that was leisurely breathing in spiritual energy.

But just as it was about to bite these cold star clams, a bright pearl caught its eye, which attracted it unconsciously. When it saw the pearl, it seemed as if it saw the bright moon, and a desire naturally arose in its heart.

At this moment, the vigilance in its heart gradually melted away, and it chased directly after the pearl, and finally swallowed the pearl in an extremely swift posture.

At this time, in the clouds, holding the dragon fishing rod, feeling the movement underwater, Jiang Chen couldn't help but snort coldly.

"There really is something fishy going on. If I hadn't been so perceptive and noticed a pair of Lingbei were missing, I wouldn't have known a thief like you was here."

With the surge of true energy, Jiang Chen tightened the fishing line. At this moment, the black shadow in the ditch finally realized that something was wrong. Powerful strength burst out from its seemingly small body, and it wanted to break free from the restraints of the fishing line, but it couldn't do it.

After a moment of stalemate, it finally couldn't hold on and was pulled out of the water by Jiang Chen using a dragon fishing rod. It was not until this time that Jiang Chen finally saw its true face: its back was green and its belly was white, its body was slender, about one meter long, with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth.

"It turned out to be a white dragon. I never thought there would be such a spiritual creature in this Bewitching Bay."

After taking a quick look, Jiang Chen recognized the identity of the black shadow and was quite surprised.

The white dragon is not a dragon, but just a kind of river eel. Eating it can strengthen yang energy and remove evil spirits. The most important thing is that it tastes very delicious and is quite popular among children from wealthy families.

"You ate my spirit shell, so I ate you. It's only fair. I haven't tasted the white dragon yet."

Jiang Chen bound the white dragon with the Qi thread and took the white dragon back to Muyu Island.

After a brief trial, he gained a better understanding of the capabilities of the dragon fishing rod. This white dragon is alert by nature, good at hiding its breath, and good at burrowing into the ground. It is not easy for ordinary cultivators to catch it underwater.
