The Celestial Race of Destiny: Starting with Farming and Fish Raising

Chapter 41 The Powerful Effects of Demon Blood Attraction

Once he got into the mood, Su Qingyan had no intention of sleeping at all.

Even in the middle of the night, it's the same.

Soon, he had gathered enough raw materials to refine a batch of Xuan Shui Pills.

Without much preamble, after carefully processing all the raw materials and mentally reviewing the refining process of the Mysterious Water Pill, he immediately began refining the first batch of Mysterious Water Pills.

However, the refining of the Profound Water Pill is very different from that of the Crimson Sun Pill. Even though Su Qingyan was mentally prepared and took these differences seriously, only seven or eight minutes later, a strong burnt smell came from the alchemy furnace.

Without a doubt, the first batch of Xuan Shui Pills has failed to be refined.

"It's still a matter of lacking talent; I can't integrate the experience of refining the Crimson Sun Pill into refining the Profound Water Pill."

"There's no use in rushing this."

"Xian'er will be six years old soon. After six years of growth, the little snake spirit beast will probably break through to the early stage of the first rank within the next two weeks. Based on our previous experience of obtaining the family's fortune, the family's spirit beasts can also obtain the family's fortune after breaking through. The blood of the Xuan Shui catfish can be preserved for a month, so there is still time."

"This little guy was born a spirit beast and has good talent. If I hadn't had Little Grey intentionally suppress its growth, it might have broken through and become a first-stage spirit beast in the past two years."

Even so, it can't be suppressed anymore.

"Fortunately, the annual Moon Shadow Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony is next week. We'll take Xian'er there for a test. If her spiritual root has fully developed, we'll let her start cultivating as soon as possible."

"Once he has spiritual power within him, he will subdue the little snake spirit beast, which will put his mind at ease."

"At that time, with the family's fortune, we will definitely have to use the [Comprehension Enhancement] function to refine the Profound Water Pill."

"We've put so much effort into raising the Xuan Shui catfish, and now that they've produced blood, we must make use of it and not let it go to waste." This time, Su Qingyan was very calm and didn't have any impulsive thoughts. He stopped immediately after the first batch of Xuan Shui pills failed to be refined.

He stood up and observed the condition of the catfish in the pond.

After being bled, the black water catfish were a little weak, listless, and swimming very slowly. However, the wounds on their tails had already scabbed over after being treated with hemostatic powder.

At this moment, Su Qingyan suddenly remembered the "Demon Blood Guide" in his storage bag.

The demonic cultivator slaughtered all the mortals in Plum Blossom Village on the spot, all for the purpose of refining this thing.

According to the crafting and usage instructions provided with the "Demon Blood Guide," this item can promote the evolution of smaller species of spirit beasts such as spirit insects and spirit fish.

It works on the bone-corroding blood leeches kept by demonic cultivators, and it also works on the Xuan Shui catfish.

Since it was something from a demonic cultivator, Su Qingyan was hesitant to use it when the Xuan Shui Catfish were still seedlings, fearing that he might accidentally kill all the little guys he had risked his life to bring back.

Now that the black water catfish have grown up, their resistance is stronger, and there are so many of them, we can get one or two to try.

"Adult blackwater catfish are not like their juvenile stage. They are very tenacious now, and they cannot be easily killed unless the toxin is particularly potent."

"Moreover, I possess the talent of [Master Fisherman], which allows me to monitor the physical condition of the Xuan Shui Catfish by sensing their growth. Even if there are problems, I can quickly detect them and the probability of saving them is very high. I can give it a try," Su Qingyan thought to himself.

Then, he caught another relatively large black catfish from the fishpond and put it into a separate tank in the small incubator next to it.

He first cut some roots of the Crimson Blood Yang Ginseng and mixed them with spirit stone fragments to feed the Xuan Shui Catfish, helping it recover from the loss caused by the bloodletting.

Several hours later.

Seeing that the Xuan Shui catfish had fully recovered and was even more active than before the bloodletting, Su Qingyan took out a small porcelain bottle filled with "Demon Blood Lubricant" from his storage bag.

Upon opening the porcelain bottle, a pungent, fishy odor filled the air, and the "Demon Blood Lure" inside seemed to writhe like a living creature, giving Su Qingyan goosebumps.

Suppressing his discomfort, Su Qingyan controlled the force of his pouring, aiming precisely at the mouth of the Xuan Shui catfish, and dripped a drop of "Demon Blood Guide," viscous as if it were alive, dark red to almost black in color, slowly sliding from the surface of the water to the mouth of the Xuan Shui catfish.

The black catfish trembled in fright, clearly startled by the unfamiliar sweet and fishy smell. Its massive body shook violently, and it tried to retreat by flicking its tail.

But a bizarre scene unfolded—its head seemed to be pulled by invisible threads. Despite trying to escape, its neck twisted back uncontrollably, and its golden eyes stared intently at the writhing drop of "demon blood," revealing an irresistible greed deep within them.

"Gulp."

The Xuan Shui catfish finally couldn't resist the temptation and opened its mouth to suck the drop of "Demon Blood Guide" along with the surrounding spiritually rich pool water into its belly.

Sizzle—!

A sizzling sound, like cold water being poured onto a red-hot iron block, that only Su Qingyan could hear, suddenly came from the fish's belly.

The next second, the black catfish began to roll wildly in the pool, making strange, unintelligible cries that were not loud, intermittent, but very clear.

Su Qingyan sensed through his talent [Master of Fishing] that although the Xuan Shui catfish's body was damaged, it was not fatal and was healing at an extremely fast speed.

Based on this, he deduced that the emotion expressed in the call of the black catfish was not pain, but a kind of violent excitement.

For the next two hours, Su Qingyan stayed by the pool without blinking.

He could clearly see that thick, tar-like, dark red blood was beginning to seep from the gaps in the catfish's originally jet-black scales. These bloodstains did not flow out of its body, but circulated repeatedly on its surface, making its scales look even shinier, and even faintly revealing a heavy, metallic feel.

Immediately afterward, he noticed that the black water catfish had grown longer. He took out a ruler and measured it, and found that it had indeed increased by 5 centimeters compared to the average body length recorded before the blood was drawn during the day.

That wasn't all. Su Qingyan then took out a dagger and took a small amount of blood from this Xuan Shui catfish to compare with the blood he had taken from the Xuan Shui catfish before.

"His body length increased by 5 centimeters, and the concentration of spiritual energy in his blood increased by nearly 10%."

"The effect is immediate!"

"According to the instructions for using the 'Demonic Blood Guide,' this thing needs to be used for a long time to promote the evolution of spirit fish or spirit insects. If it has such a big improvement even before evolution, to what extent will the blood of the evolved Xuan Water Catfish be strengthened?"

"After it evolves, we'll use its blood to refine the Mystic Water Pill."

"If it's successfully refined, to what extent will the quality and effects of this Mystic Water Pill be improved?"

"This is really exciting!"
