On the afternoon of the third day when Gu Zheng came to Wufeng Island, the golden scale tide arrived as expected. In the past two or three days, more and more people were invited to Wufeng Island, making the originally small number of people
Kirifeng Island seems quite lively.
Not only Gu Zheng and Miao Miao are interested in the Golden Scale Tide, but all outsiders on Wufeng Island are also very interested in it. Because when the Golden Scale Tide arrives, there will be four other kinds of things that are rarely seen on weekdays.
Strange fish', mixed in the golden scale tide.
Bone fish, silver horn fish, conger eel, and dragon beard fish, these four kinds of strange fish are mixed in the golden scale tide and are rarely seen on ordinary days. They all have unusual uses in alchemy and are classified as special-grade fish.
Material.
Anyone who comes to Wufeng Island can contact the fishermen on the island in advance, rent a small boat, and go fishing when the golden scale tide arrives. Renting a boat requires a lot of money, and the fish caught, except for golden scales,
Otherwise, all the strange fish belong to the person who rented the boat.
Every year when the golden scale tide comes, some people rent boats to try their luck.
Since it is a matter of luck, among those who rent a boat, some will naturally make a fortune, while others will have difficulty repaying their money.
However, since they can be invited to Kirikaze Island, these boat renters can also afford the cost of renting a boat. As for whether they can catch strange fish, they regard this activity more as fun.
, don’t particularly care about the final harvest.
As distinguished guests of Wufeng Island, Gu Zheng and Miaomiao were naturally exempted from the cost of renting a boat. Boss Yang asked Yang Zhenling to accompany Gu Zheng and Miaomiao out to sea, and told Yang Zhenling that they must let Gu Zheng and Miaomiao have fun.
happy.
When Gu Zheng and Miaomiao followed Yang Zhenling to the beach, many people had gathered on the beach. Most of these people were waiting for the harvesters to return, and some were preparing to go to sea. At this time, on the sea near Wufeng Island,
The number of large and small ships is no less than fifty.
If you want to catch golden scales or even strange fish, you cannot drive a motorized boat, otherwise the fish will be frightened and dive into the water. Therefore, no matter how big or small the boats on the sea are, almost all are traditional sculls.
Although the boat he was traveling on was a traditional scull boat, Yang Zhenling was a practitioner after all. He held the oars in both hands and rowed quickly, and the boat rushed forward quickly on the sea.
There are fishing nets, harpoons and other fishing gear in the cabin. According to the traditional fishing method, after paddling a scull boat close to the fish, you can directly release the fishing net and you can get a lot of harvest! As for whether you can catch it
The strange fish among the golden scales depends entirely on luck.
After the boat sailed on the sea for more than ten minutes, Yang Zhenling brought Gu Zheng and Miaomiao to a relatively quiet place.
The boat has stopped, and the sea ten meters away seems to be a bit noisy. The sea water is rippled, and even ordinary people can faintly see it, and there is a gold-like color shaking under the water.
"According to the tradition of Wufeng Island, the first network must be carried by our people from Wufeng Island. If there is a harvest, it means there will be more harvests in the coming year!" Yang Zhenling said piously.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, please."
Although Gu Zheng was already eager to give it a try, he still showed respect for the customs of Wufeng Island.
Yang Zhenling nodded, grabbed the fishing net in the cabin, squinted at the golden sight not far away, and when the right time came, he threw the fishing net out with both arms.
The fishing net enters the water and golden flowers splash everywhere.
"It's not very good. The golden scales are more dexterous. This net is probably only three to five kilograms, which is not much."
Yang Zhenling, who was closing the net, paused, then shrugged and smiled: "However, this is good. After all, sometimes you are unlucky and only a few fish are caught in the net."
The golden light gradually approached, and Yang Zhenling pulled the net onto the boat.
The sound of jumping and hitting the cabin kept ringing, and golden scales four inches long were struggling desperately in the fishing net.
"Golden Scale is an ordinary grade ingredient. Its meat is very delicious and is especially suitable for making soup."
The voice of the weapon spirit sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
Although it was the first time for Gu Zheng to see Jin Lin, now that he has become an immortal cultivator, even for unfamiliar ingredients, he can tell at a glance its grade and how it is suitable for cooking.
"Well, once you get used to it, you can see it now."
Qi Ling smiled sheepishly. In fact, a similar situation happened yesterday when picking Wufeng apricots on the mountain.
"It's okay, you can just say whatever you want." Gu Zheng also smiled.
"Sir, I want to eat the golden scales you made." Meow Meow pointed at the golden scales in the cabin.
"Okay! When we go back in the evening, I'll cook a few dishes and we'll have a few drinks with fellow Taoist Yang."
Not to mention Meow Meow, who couldn't stand the temptation of fresh golden scales, even Gu Zheng was ready to take action. After all, he had always been keen on trying new things.
"I knew that if I went to sea with my ancient Taoist friends, I would definitely be blessed with good food!"
Yang Zhenling paused, then continued: "After the golden scale tide arrives, the coast will be very lively every night. There will be a bonfire party in the evening, and everyone will roast the golden scales, taste fine wine, and celebrate with singing and dancing."
"Sir, it sounds very good! Do you want to practice at night, or should we go over and have a look together?" Miao Miao asked with her little face raised.
"I came out just to relax. I don't have to follow the rules like in the sect. Let's go over there tonight and have a look!" Gu Zheng smiled slightly.
While Gu Zheng and Miaomiao were talking, Yang Zhenling had already put away the golden scales, set up the fishing net again, and put his hands on the oars again.
"Will the second network come from ancient Taoist friends? Or from Miss Miaomiao?" Yang Zhenling asked.
"My husband will do it, and I will be the third one!" Miao Miao said excitedly.
In fact, whether it's Gu Zheng or Miao Miao, if you want to catch the dexterous golden scales, you don't need to use a fishing net at all. However, if you don't use a fishing net, you have to show some amazing methods. If Yang Zhenling is frightened by this, that is not good.
"We didn't catch any strange fish in the first net. I wonder if we can be lucky and catch a strange fish today!" Yang Zhenling murmured.
"Don't worry, you will definitely get something." Gu Zheng smiled.
Before Yang Zhenling cast the net, Gu Zheng once saw among the fish under the water, a strange fish weighing about one kilogram, which also had golden scales but had a silver horn, was feasting on the fish eggs produced by the golden scales.
.
Although the strange fish is big, it is more dexterous than the golden scales. Yang Zhenling has just cast the net, and it has already dived into the deep water. Gu Zheng can see it clearly. And this strange fish is one of four kinds of strange fish.
Silverhorn among fishes.
"If others say that you will definitely get something, I will only take it as encouragement. But if fellow Taoist monks say that you will definitely gain it, then it is really a sure thing!" Yang Zhenling turned around and said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Yang really has confidence in me!" Gu Zheng laughed.
"Of course, the impression that ancient Taoist friends have given me has always been so special."
Yang Zhenling originally wanted to tell Gu Zheng that he could see through other people's cultivation, but he was afraid that if he told it, the bad-tempered Miaomiao would misunderstand, so he finally chose to swallow it.
Not long after, Yang Zhenling stopped the boat for the second time. The sea was still about ten meters away, and it seemed a little choppy.
Although Gu Zheng would not use magic spells openly, there was no problem in secretly using magic spells with the help of the fishing net.
This time in the golden scale group, Gu Zheng also found traces of strange fish, but it was no longer a silver horn fish, but a silver horn fish and a bone fish!
Without much hesitation, Gu Zheng cast his fishing net towards the fish and at the same time used the Water Control Technique, which changed the water quality and hindered the escape of the fish.
Yang Zhenling had always paid attention to Gu Zheng's actions. Originally, he wanted to remind Gu Zheng that it was not the best time to cast the net. However, when Gu Zheng cast the net, his eyes widened completely! Because he
It was discovered that the fish in the water seemed to be bound by a magical energy. Although they tried to escape in panic, they were ineffective at all. They could only watch the fishing net fall and trap them in it.
Even the odd fish, which reacts very quickly, is no exception.
Yang Zhenling was puzzled. It was not like he had never seen someone use their inner energy to catch fish on a fishing net, thereby obtaining a greater harvest! But he had never seen such a situation, some kind of power that he did not understand.
, actually directly acted on the seawater ten meters away.
Is this a coincidence? Yang Zhenling wouldn't believe it to death.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, what's wrong with you? Hurry and help collect the fish!"
Gu Zhengdu had already pulled the fishing net into the cabin, but Yang Zhenling was still staring blankly with his eyes wide open, which made Meow Meow pout his little mouth and urge him.
"okay!"
Yang Zhenling shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He quickly helped collect the fish. Anyway, to him, Gu Zheng and Miaomiao were not ordinary people. If something incredible happened to them, it would be better not to be too surprised.
"There are so many nets here. Ancient Taoist friends are amazing!" Yang Zhenling sincerely praised.
With one net, Gu Zheng actually caught a full eighty kilograms of golden scales, almost catching all the small fish.
"This net has yielded a lot, but these are all fish caught for your Tianxin sect. The only fish that really belong to us are these two pitiful ones!"
Having said that, Gu Zheng's face was full of smiles, especially when he looked at the silver horn fish and bone fish.
Silverfish is an ordinary-grade ingredient, especially suitable for making soup.
From the outside, bone fish looks a bit like black fish, but it has a lot of cartilage in the body. The quality of the ingredients is medium. It is suitable for refining high-grade healing elixirs. It is also suitable for use in a variety of food repairs. It can also be used after frying.
It will be very delicious.
There are medium-quality ingredients, and thanks to the unique conditions that Wufeng Island has. Surrounded by fairy formations outside, it is like a small paradise-like world.
"Fellow Ancient Taoist, this is not pitiful at all! Not to mention the silver horn fish, which is relatively easy to catch among the four kinds of strange fish. However, the bony fish is more difficult to catch than the four kinds of strange fish.
It can be ranked second! During the golden scale tide, harvesting a bone fish is considered a profit, not to mention that this is our first time to go to sea! There are people on the shore who specialize in buying bone fish, and this one weighs two kilograms.
Bone fish can be exchanged for at least six special resources." Yang Zhenling said.
"I have decided that this bony fish will be included in our snacks tonight!"
In the past, Gu Zheng was in short supply of mid-range ingredients, but now there is really no shortage of mid-range ingredients. For him, a valuable bone fish is really not as good as satisfying his appetite.
"That's great!"
Yang Zhenling cheered: "It's so exciting that the ancient Taoist friends are willing to cook such a precious fish! Growing up so old, I only ate bone fish once at the leader's 60th birthday party, that kind of fish
The delicious taste makes me remember it to this day!”
"Then you are really in luck tonight."
Gu Zheng smiled and continued: "Continue to look for fish schools. Let's see how many strange fish we can catch today!"
"okay!"
The harvest of strange fish made Yang Zhenling very motivated. At the same time, he was also looking forward to it. Gu Zheng was so extraordinary. What kind of harvest would he get when Miao Miao took action?
It didn't take long for the scull to stop again.
Looking at the noisy sea not far away, Gu Zheng frowned.
"Xianyuan?" Gu Zheng thought to himself.
"Yes, there is indeed immortal energy in that group of golden scales!"
The weapon spirit paused for a moment, and then continued: "There are many wonders in the world, but I didn't expect that the Dragon Bearded Fish among the four strange fishes has the ability to condense the immortal essence! It's a good thing that there are now dots of immortal essence in the air.
Otherwise, even if it has this magical ability, the immortal energy it condenses is not enough for you to be able to sense it ten meters away in your current state."
"It's a pity that although the dragon beard fish can condense a little immortal energy, it is still only a mid-level ingredient." Gu Zheng sighed inwardly.
"You don't have to feel sorry. The dragon beard fish is quite good. After catching it, you can bring it into the prehistoric space. I allow this kind of fish to enter the fish pond, but the number cannot exceed three! Now the immortals in the prehistoric space
Yuan, it’s somewhat surplus, and it’s just right to keep three dragon fish in it.”
Qi Ling's words surprised Gu Zheng: "If we raise them, will they be able to improve the level of food ingredients like milk ginseng?"
"Of course, if there is no room for improvement in the level of food ingredients, they are not qualified to enter the ancient space! According to my calculations, if you keep the dragon fish in the ancient space for one year, their food grade will be
Average becomes excellent.”
"Although I am not short of these mid-level ingredients with good feelings, the high-quality ingredients are still very tempting to me!" Gu Zheng laughed in his heart.
That is, while Gu Zheng was talking to Qi Ling, Miao Miao had already spilled the fishing net.
Different from the method used by Gu Zheng, Miao Miao directly used the magic method on the fishing net.
Yang Zhenling was also very concerned about Miao Miao's casting of nets. Although he had warned himself not to show too much surprise, when it really happened, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
The fish school was not bound by some mysterious energy this time. It was as if they couldn't see the fishing net or even hear the sound of the fishing net falling into the water! They just kept making noises stupidly until they were wrapped up in the fishing net.
Only then did he appear panicked.
Yang Zhenling wanted to scream. He felt that only through screaming could he express his feelings. Why did he see so many strange things today? Why didn't he find anything too special yesterday?
Gu Zheng's net was over eighty kilograms of gold scales, plus two strange fish, but Miao Miao's net was actually over eighty kilograms of gold scales, plus two strange fish.
Of the two strange fish caught by Meow Meow, one is a conger eel, and the other is the most precious and quickest of the four kinds of strange fish. Every year, no more than five dragon fish are harvested in the golden scale tide!
If the reaction of the bony fish is like a gust of wind, then the reaction of the bearded fish is like a bolt of lightning! It is not a fish in the traditional sense, it is considered a spiritual beast, but such a spiritual beast can actually ignore
If Yang Zhenling hadn't seen the landing of the fishing net with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it even to death.
Conger eel is an ordinary-level ingredient. It looks very similar to ordinary eel, except that there are many shiny spots on the skin, just like the stars in the sky. Among the four kinds of strange fish, conger eel ranks last, and its meat is
Tight, smooth and tender, perfect for braised.
The bearded fish ranks first among the four strange fishes. It looks a bit like a sturgeon in appearance, but it has two long golden beards, so it adds a bit of power.
"Miss Meow Meow, you are so amazing!"
Yang Zhenling felt that his mouth was dry, and he was still immersed in shock. After saying something very mechanically, he packed up the capture in the cabin.
"Shouldn't the fish in the golden scale group be all strange fish? Why does this fish look so strange?"
Miao Miao said curiously, and pulled out a small strange fish from the pile of fish, with a finger-long body, a gray back, and a white belly.
The little strange fish looks like a pufferfish. When Meow Meow turned it over, it made a "chirp" sound, and its entire belly suddenly became round and round like a pufferfish.
Gu Zheng's brows wrinkled. After the little strange fish became round, it turned into a belly-up position, and on its white belly, there was a pattern that looked like a human face!
Moreover, after the belly of the little strange fish swelled, it, which was originally a mortal fish, suddenly became full of immortal energy!
"What's going on? Ordinary-level ingredients, while containing highly toxic substances in the body, are also rich in immortal essence, which is equivalent to a medium-sized immortal essence pill! What kind of fish is this?" Ancient Questioner
spirit.
"I don't know either, but the pattern on the belly of this little fish is very strange."
In the picture in her mind, Qi Ling shook her head. It was rare that there was something she didn't know.
"Sir, can you give me this fish?"
As if Miao Miao had found a fun toy, she immediately begged Gu Zheng.
"Yes, but this fish is highly poisonous."
Although the fairy essence content of the little strange fish is equivalent to that of a medium-quality fairy essence pill, it is not edible or can be used as medicine. Since Miao Miao wanted it, Gu Zheng agreed.
"What fish is highly poisonous?"
Yang Zhenling, who had been immersed in shock and acted mechanically, was awakened by what Gu Zheng said just now.
"It's the fish that Meow Meow holds in his hand."
Gu Zheng replied to Yang Zhenling, and Yang Zhenling's eyes also fell on Miaomiao's side, and he saw the little strange fish placed in his palm with his belly facing up.
"Auntie, you can't touch this fish!"
Yang Zhenling's face instantly turned pale, and she even exclaimed in surprise.
However, it's already too late.
In Gu Zheng's view, Miaomiao just wanted to use the little strange fish as a toy to satisfy his curiosity. But what he didn't expect was that Miaomiao didn't want to play with the little strange fish, she wanted to eat it!
It's just that when Miao Miao ate, he didn't put the little monster fish into his mouth, but directly used the magic method to absorb the immortal energy contained in the little monster fish, ignoring its deadly toxins.
In Yang Zhenling's horrified eyes, the little strange fish on Miao Miao's palm died. Its body shrank rapidly, and the pattern on its belly resembled a human face. It may be due to shrinkage and wrinkles. A pair of eyes seemed to have narrowed instantly.
