Chapter 5: Water Diversion and Pond Construction
When Fang Yun returned to his cabin and finished everything, it was soon evening again.
In addition to purchasing 22 red-eyed carp fry from Manager Li, he also bought 20 iron-toothed fish fry and some spiritual plant seeds in the market outside.
There are also some fodder and meat for feeding iron-toothed fish. Iron-toothed fish are omnivorous fish. They can digest both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food very well. They grow fast and can mature in three months.
Eating them can also increase mana. The only drawback is that they don’t taste very good, but they are not the worst, so they are still very popular.
Otherwise, one fish can be worth five broken spirits.
But his fish fry are very cheap, one broken spirit per fish.
In Fang Yun’s opinion, this thing is very similar to a catfish in his previous life. It doesn’t taste good, and most people don’t know how to make it.
If it can be made into grilled fish? I guess...
However, Fang Yun had stored a large number of salted dried fish before. Adhering to the principle of not wasting, he ate those old foods first.
He did not choose to eat the iron-toothed fish he raised to satisfy his appetite, but to sell them to store more spiritual stones.
But now everything is ready, and he can start planning.
In the past few days when this fairy house was opened up, he has been exploring around in the space, and then estimated the land area. The land that has been reclaimed, that is, those square blocks, is about two acres in size.
Fang Yun plans to use one-third of the land to open a fish pond. There is a ready-made water source, isn't it a waste?
Thinking of this, Fang Yun simply started to work. What entered the space was the soul, without a physical body, but the soul also has magic power, and can operate tools such as hoes.
This kind of driving is just a simple use of magic power, not even a spell. The next step is repeated excavation work. Digging in this black land with a hoe, digging about ten meters deep, Fang Yun felt that it was enough.
After about an hour, his mana could no longer support him. Using the soul to control the tools is really not as good as direct control of the body, and it consumes a lot of energy. After all, he doesn't know how to drive the objects now.
Although he has been busy for most of the day, he hasn't dug even one-tenth of it yet. This job seems to be a long-term job.
Therefore, Fang Yun had to change his strategy. He planned to return to the space again after his mana was fully restored, and plant some spiritual plant seeds he brought in first.
Fang Yun didn't have the skills of a spiritual plant husband, but he could grow some simple vegetables.
There were only two kinds of spiritual vegetable seeds purchased this time. One was the spiritual heart grass. This spiritual vegetable looked like green onions, with a green body and the effect of clearing the mind and eyes.
In Fang Yun's opinion, this thing is the green onion in the world of cultivation, because it has a unique fragrance.
The second is the dragon breath fruit, which looks like a fire ginseng fruit in the previous life. The skin is red with golden lines on it. It has the effect of tempering the body. After eating, it can enhance the strength and endurance of the body.
The key is that these two spiritual plants are easy to grow, and they don't need much sunlight, nor do they require any special cultivation methods.
Now his level of sunlight technique is not enough, and there is no way to completely simulate the sunlight. He can only choose these spiritual plants with low planting requirements.
After all, there is no sunlight in the space of the Immortal Mansion, only the moon is hanging high. If it is those spiritual plants that need sufficient sunlight, it is unknown whether they can be grown in the space.
It can only be tested in the future. Now Fang Yun just doesn't want to leave these lands empty.
Another week has passed in a short time. In this week, he has little time to rest. Finally, he dug out a fish pond that is more than ten meters deep and more than thirty meters long and wide.
It is smaller than the fish pond outside. He paved the bottom of the pond with a lot of pebbles, and he also built large stones around the fish pond to prevent the pond from being muddy by mud.
These materials did not cost spiritual stones. They were all searched by him on some uninhabited reefs and the edge of the island on Donghu Island.
Fortunately, these dead things were not heavy when they were brought into the Immortal Palace. They could be touched with the palm of the hand and moved with the mind. Otherwise, it would be exhausting to build this fish pond.
Then, he dug a ditch along the river dock and brought in the water source. The excess mud was made into a dam to prevent blockage.
At this time, it can be seen that Fang Yun's practice is insufficient. If he knew some earth-based magic, such as turning mud into stone and turning stone into mud, building a fish pond would be too easy.
After everything was completed, Fang Yun moved ten of the twenty iron-toothed fish fry he bought into the space. There were no other abnormalities, and living things could survive in the space.
As for why all the fry were not put in? Of course, there were some concerns. One was to prevent the fish pond outside from being empty and being seen by others. The second was that he wanted to compare whether there were other abnormalities in this space. How is the spiritual energy of the river water in this space compared to the fish pond outside!
A small area was also divided in the spatial fish pond, which was specially separated by a fence, and two red-eyed carp fry were also put in.
Although the iron-toothed fish is an omnivorous fish, it does not feed on the red-eyed carp. It doesn't matter if they are mixed, but because the red-eyed carp requires specific fish feed to breed and feed, Fang Yun naturally does not want to waste these precious fish feeds to feed the iron-toothed fish, so it is better to separate them.
"Eat, eat, grow up quickly, grow up quickly." Fang Yun sprinkled the fish food and looked at the fish fighting for it, not to mention how happy he was.
After being busy for so long, everything was finally settled. Fang Yun bought two more red-eyed carps from Manager Li. It was not because there was a shortage of fish in the fish pond, but he just wanted to try to breed red-eyed carps in the space.
Next, he just needed to practice step by step.
The soul returned to the body, and the sky was about to dawn. Now Fang Yun would enter the space at night every night to avoid being discovered by someone visiting during the day.
At this time, Fang Yun had just finished the work of the space fish pond. He couldn't sleep after thinking for a long time, and he had no intention of meditating and practicing. Instead, he took out all his belongings from a secret compartment in the wooden house and counted them carefully.
In fact, there was no need to count at all. He could see it all at a glance. He still had eight spirit stones, six broken spirits, two talismans shining with dim light, a booklet, and a short knife.
"I'm still poor. This is all I have left after deducting my expenses from my income this month."
The remaining eight spirit stones were the amount he spent after receiving his salary, and the bulk of the expenses were used to buy spirit rice.
Ordinary white jade spirit rice costs one spirit stone and three catties, and Fang Yun spends at least fifteen catties every month.
Few practitioners eat ordinary food, as it will pollute their magic power and the gains will outweigh the losses.
If you want to succeed in your practice, you can't save on this expense at all.
The largest spirit rice supplier on the island is of course the Li family. For the Li family, the spirit stones are undoubtedly a double-edged sword for the workers.
The short knife and the booklet are both the legacy left to him by his original father. The short knife shines with starlight and can cut iron like mud. It is a rare sword, but unfortunately it is not a magic weapon.
And the booklet is even more precious. It is the inheritance of a cultivation skill. When Fang Yun and his father settled in Donghu Island, they suffered from the loss of having nothing to do. The great way of cultivation cannot be achieved without money.
If you don't have the skills to practice, you can only go out to sea to fish and hunt, or work for the Li family. The future is embarrassing.
Fang Yun's father Fang Cuishan, by chance, got a book of immortal cultivation skills. It was this book, but it was a fragment. It recorded a method of alchemy and two recipes. Unfortunately, he died unexpectedly before he had time to practice.
And Fang Yun didn't dare to reveal the secret, and never learned to practice.
There are many kinds of immortal cultivation skills. As the saying goes, there are top talents in all 360 professions.
As long as you master a skill, it is not difficult to live in the world of immortal cultivation.
The most respected and valued skills are four things: formation, pill, talisman, and instrument.
Formation is difficult to learn and master, the most grinding, and the resource consumption is also countless. Alchemy requires a lot of initial investment. Talisman making is the most important talent, and the same is true for refining instruments.
These four arts of cultivation, anyone who is proficient in one is a respected master of cultivation, enough to run rampant on this East Lake Island.
But with Fang Yun's shallow cultivation before, without any resources to support him, let alone learning to make pills, he would probably be killed if he showed any signs of this tendency.
It was not until today, when the Immortal Mansion was opened, that Fang Yun took it out and immediately flipped through it.
There was an alchemy method on it, called the One Yuan Water Alchemy Method, and two recipes, one for Qingyang Pill and the other for Shuixing Pill.
The One Yuan Water Alchemy Method is a water-based alchemy method. In the One Yuan Water Alchemy Method, water is used to wash the pills. Various spiritual waters are the key elements of alchemy. The quality and efficacy of the pills can be improved by special treatment and refining of the materials by washing with water.
This method emphasizes the purity and texture of the washed materials. The alchemist needs to find high-quality spiritual water and purify and refine it.
The better the spiritual water used, the more it can stimulate the energy and spirituality of the medicinal materials, so that the ingredients of the pills can be integrated with each other to achieve a synergistic effect.
The best effect is to use the spiritual water called One Yuan Heavy Water to make pills. According to the description above, even the best spiritual pills can be refined at that time.
The Qingyang Pill recorded in it is a first-level pill, usually used to enhance the Yang Qi and vitality of the monks, and it helps to enhance the body's resistance and recovery ability.
The second type of water-walking pill, this first-level pill helps to improve the monk's sensitivity and reaction ability underwater, and can also breathe underwater, live in the water, and walk in the sea.
This alchemy method and pill recipe have a characteristic, with a strong water attribute, which is also in line with the characteristics of Longhu Bay.
Alchemy is water-based, and pills are also related to water. Qingyang Pill can enhance Yang Qi vitality, and Water-walking Pill can walk underwater. If these two pills are sold to fishermen who go out to sea to fish, there will definitely be a big market.
