Su Ping didn't just casually give Little Green Fish to Zhou Xuan to taste.
On one hand, Zhou Xuan's performance during this period had satisfied Su Ping, so he could give him a little something as a treat.
On the other hand, Su Ping also considered that Water Blue Star was, after all, a world without Spiritual Qi.
He wondered if there would be any issues with the System's fish catches once consumed, due to the environment.
If there were problems and he didn't know about them, resulting in the waste of the precious Crimson Blood Rainbow Carp, he would truly have nowhere to cry.
"Ling fish!"
Zhou Xuan's eyes immediately straightened when he heard Su Ping's words and looked at the Little Green Fish in the fish basket, which weighed about a pound and resembled a crucian carp.
At that moment, he felt that all the fatigue and hardship from pulling strings, finding people, and running around for this true Cultivator master during this period were all worth it!
He also decided in his heart that he would continue to serve the master, even if it meant using his family's connections!
In fact, as Zhou Xuan repeatedly and in large quantities purchased white sugar and was not a relevant industry professional himself, he had already received inquiry calls from certain individuals.
Coupled with some sensitive chemicals and equipment.
If Zhou Xuan hadn't been a registered Taoist priest, it might not have been as simple as just phone inquiries.
Su Ping was unaware of the troubles Zhou Xuan encountered, nor did he need to worry about solving them.
This was also the benefit of finding an Incarnation and being a hands-off boss.
Maintaining his image as a master, Su Ping tossed the Little Green Fish to Zhou Xuan, instructing him to eat it as soon as possible, as the Spiritual Qi would dissipate faster the longer he waited, then he swayed his Fishing gear and disappeared from Zhou Xuan's sight.
In reality, he secretly used an invisible Talismanic Incantation, then hid to observe the changes in the Little Green Fish in reality.
Zhou Xuan started a fire, boiled water, and gutted the fish.
After boiling the Little Green Fish, he seemed to believe that immortal items should be enjoyed in their original flavor.
He only poured a small dish of millet pepper oil and began to eat with his chopsticks.
As he ate, he seemed to feel a surge of comfort throughout his body as the fish entered his stomach.
This young Taoist priest, Zhou Xuan, even ran back to the kitchen to retrieve the previously removed internal organs and cooked them to eat.
It seemed he didn't even intend to let go of the fish bones; he planned to grind them into powder and slowly drink them dissolved in water.
"Excellent, no unexpected changes!"
"The Little Green Fish and Big Green Fish have similar effects; the only difference is the quantity. They can take effect without any discount in this area!"
"I can use my Crimson Blood Rainbow Carp with peace of mind!"
Su Ping left the gold, taking away the white sugar from the warehouse and various semi-finished products that could be refined back home to quickly enhance his combat power.
He then quickly headed to the depths of the mountain forest where the rat colony was located.
He sent Ling Rat White and Little Grey to patrol the surroundings to prevent any accidents.
"Come out!"
"Crimson Blood Rainbow Carp!"
With an excited heart, Su Ping took out the Crimson Blood Rainbow Carp from the warehouse.
Swish!
As soon as the Crimson Blood Rainbow Carp appeared before Su Ping, its entire body was crimson like crystal, and its size was similar to a three-pound grass carp. It surprisingly emitted a crimson light pillar that shot out from the mountain peak, hitting the azure sky.
It illuminated half the sky with a crimson halo!
Not only that.
As this Crimson Blood Rainbow Carp, marked as 'Precious' quality, appeared.
The mountain forest within a hundred li radius seemed to come alive, stirring in unison!
The snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the mountain forest, and the various types of fish in the ponds, all frantically twisted uneasily, yearning with their life instincts, attempting to approach the location of the Crimson Blood Rainbow Carp.
"Such a phenomenon is called 'Precious' quality?"
"If it were the higher 'Rare' or even the even higher 'Peerless' quality, wouldn't it cause heavenly phenomena and mountain ranges to resonate upon its appearance!"
"No, I'm afraid even 'Precious' quality is enough to produce phenomena. You have to know that Water Blue Star is a world without Spiritual Qi!"
"The effect of resonance will be greatly discounted!"
"Fortunately, I am cautious and did not hastily use this Crimson Blood Rainbow Carp in the Cultivation World!"
Without further ado, the phenomenon had appeared and could not be hidden.
Su Ping decisively grabbed the Crimson Blood Rainbow Carp, and with a movement of his spiritual power, he killed it.
Immediately, he summoned the Fire-Driving Flag to breathe fire and roast the Crimson Blood Rainbow Carp.
Then, without bothering with any seasonings, he directly transformed into a glutton and bit into the fish body.
The three-pound Crimson Blood Rainbow Carp was devoured by Su Ping in just about ten bites.
With a Cultivator's teeth, fish bones and spines were directly crushed and swallowed, without worrying about being scratched.
As the Crimson Blood Rainbow Carp was eaten, the phenomenon dissipated, and the mountain forest returned to calm.
Su Ping then quickly sat cross-legged, feeling the so-called slight improvement in his Physique talent that the Crimson Blood Rainbow Carp brought him.
"This!"
"Am I to redefine what 'slight' means?"
"After one Crimson Blood Rainbow Carp, I directly reached Body Tempering second layer, and it's not over yet. As the effects slowly manifest, I will soon reach Body Tempering third or even fourth layer, catching up with my Cultivation progress!"
"Furthermore, my Physique talent has been improved in the most suitable direction according to my current Body Refining Cultivation Technique."
"It also gave the improvement progress: one-tenth!"
"I Cultivate the Ten Directions Body Strengthening Art, and the most suitable Saint Physique... if the storyteller in the market didn't lie to me, it should be the Ten Directions Extinction Body, famous in the Cultivation World, right?"
"Legend has it that a Prodigy with the Ten Directions Extinction Body will definitely be the Saint of the Ten Directions Sect, one of the candidates for the Sect Master. If he doesn't fall, his achievement will be at least a Nascent Soul old monster!"
"Such a Saint Physique, one in a hundred million may not have it..."
"But I have a chance to obtain it by Fishing and eating fish!"
"I can fish out a Saint Physique!"
Su Ping whispered excitedly, clenching his hands, feeling the surging power within his body.
This rapidly increasing strength gave Su Ping a vague illusion that he was the strongest in the world.
However, Su Ping was still very clear-headed. Twenty years of arduous Cultivation experience had given him ample experience with the illusory sense of satisfaction that this increase in strength brought.
He quickly composed himself and was about to call back Ling Rat White and Little Grey when a sound in the air caught Su Ping's attention.
With his vision also strengthened by his enhanced Physique, Su Ping soon discovered several drones appearing in the distant sky.
"The commotion just now was too big; did it attract attention?"
Su Ping was well aware of the combat power in reality.
With his current abilities, he could handle ordinary people.
But if he encountered a heavily armed team, he could only gain an initial advantage.
Once those small stealth methods were countered, he would be the one to fall.
After all, in terms of destructive power, the power of technological civilization should not be underestimated.
"When things go wrong, it's best to leave first!"
Su Ping used another invisible Talismanic Incantation, disappearing into the mountain forest to rendezvous with Ling Rat White and Little Grey.
At the same time, thousands of rat colonies surged from all directions to the mountain peak, destroying and disrupting all possible traces!
On the internet, videos of the red light appearing in the mountain forest outside Yushu City and the commotion of snakes, rats, insects, and ants within the mountain forest at that time caused a stir as videos from eyewitnesses emerged one by one.
"Wow! Everyone, come and see, a Magic Treasure has appeared!"
"What Magic Treasure? A Cultivator has emerged from seclusion!"
"Alas... it seems the events of '99 can't be kept secret anymore."
"Tsk, it's clearly special effects, another video for malicious marketing to gain traffic!"
"No one would actually believe this is real footage, right!"
"Just watch, I bet an 'Oli Ge' (a phrase meaning 'let's go' or 'come on'), within a week, there will be a game advertisement starting with this video clip."
