Spring, when the sky is blue and the water is blue, and everything revives, is a good season for outings and enjoying the scenery.
Leyun blew a soft breeze of apricot blossoms, put away the Ruyi house that was used as a tool shed, walked out of the formation barrier, and slipped to the meadow to cut blue-leaf grass.
Blue-leaf grass in Blue City is actually a type of terrestrial algae, which is related to the seaweed Asparagus.
The shape of blue-leaf grass is exactly the same as the seaweed asparagus on the earth. The branches and leaves are fresh green, the branches are two or three fingers thick, and the branches are as thin as fingers. It blooms every autumn, and the color of the flowers is as blue as cornflowers, with golden seeds.
.
There are too many edible spiritual plants in the Yunlan spiritual world, and the blue-leaf grass contains too little spiritual energy, making it an unpalatable wild vegetable.
For Leyun, the blue-leaf vegetables that Brother Yunlan looked down upon were good ingredients for making medicinal diets. They had to be collected, and the seeds had to be dug up and the plants moved to the star core space for planting.
The days before last were not suitable for digging blue-leaf grass. This season is suitable for cutting leaves and digging plants.
Four handsome guys and three beasts cut off the seedlings of the nearby blue-leaf vegetables. The newly grown seedlings were only one or two inches tall and short, making them suitable for digging.
The little Lolita wielded a hoe and happily dug up blue-leaf grass in the meadow, along with other common medicinal plants that could be used as medicine.
Mr. Xuan and others went out early every day and came back late every day, sweeping fish, shrimps and common spiritual plants further to the east. When they returned from work another day, they saw traces of excavated soil on the meadow, and rushed into the barrier with great enthusiasm.
The humans and beasts rushed into the Ruyi Room, which was still in place, and saw the man who had been in seclusion for two months sitting there leisurely eating melon seeds and clams.
Four male cultivators and three humanoid beasts rushed to the table and sat down.
Classmate Le Xiao gave everyone a pot of melon seed clams, and he also had a bag in front of him.
Guazibei is for dinner.
The four people and three animals were banging shells while talking about the recent situation, and also told about the two visits of the Zhu family.
When the Zhu family came to visit again, they must have gone to Wanghai City and retrieved the four tribesmen who had been transformed into true essence by the Spirit Transformation Pill. They wanted to bring her to see if there was any hope of recovery.
Le Yun didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, and told Mr. Xuan not to go out to collect in the next few days, and asked him to seize the time to make spiritual meals and try to store more as a food reserve.
Then he spoke to senior brother Yan Zhenlin: "The two brothers are too weak physically and their strength is not high. Even if they go to the Yaoguang Secret Realm and find any opportunities, they will be unable to hold on. Therefore, I changed the plan and took them to Leizhou to temper their bodies.
.
Leizhou is a long way away, so you may miss the Fluctuating Light Secret Realm.
The Fluctuating Light Secret Realm is only opened once in a hundred thousand years. Time waits for no one. There is only one opportunity. You two brothers do not want to miss the opportunity, so we will part ways in Blue City."
Yan Zhen, Senior Brother Lin pondered for a moment before replying: "The little fairy will not set off until the beginning of April. There are still some days, so we senior brothers can consider it."
Le Yun did not urge the two of them to make a decision. The two brothers in Saga Mountain were willing to give up going to the Yaoguang Secret Realm, so it was okay for her to bring two more little tails to Leizhou.
Chef Xuan Shao decided to start storing and preparing food tomorrow, so he immediately grabbed Shao Yan and his three beast friends and ran under the eaves of Ruyi House to move out some first-level aquatic products and start processing them.
Classmate Le Xiao did not stay in the barrier at night. She took the gourd baby and Baiyin Yingsheng out of the barrier, ran to the river, and took out a swallowing lake shell to collect water.
In order to keep the downstream flow flowing, only three-quarters of the water volume is intercepted.
The river was cut off, the water volume dropped sharply, and a large number of fish and shrimps were splashing in the water.
The large river flowing near Blue City is considered a relatively small river in the Yunlan Spiritual Realm. The deepest area is only over 500 feet, and the shallowest area is about 100 feet.
Because the river is located among lofty mountains, many first to fourth level aquatic monsters inhabit the river bottom and deep water areas.
There is plenty of food in the river, and aquatic monsters rarely land. Therefore, monks from Blue City rarely go to the river to catch aquatic monsters.
The main reason is that the level of the monsters is not high, and there are often whirlpools in deep water, so there is still a certain degree of danger. High-level monks look down on the food, so naturally they will not waste time fishing.
Low-level monks are not very strong and do not dare to dive into deep water to hunt. After all, there have been precedents where monks with water spiritual roots who were good at water did not come out after going into the water.
The river water suddenly decreased by three-quarters, the water level dropped sharply, and those low-level monsters in the deep water area were naturally exposed.
Calabash baby, Eagle Sheng and Baiyin carried the fishing net, happily netting fish, shrimps and low-level monsters.
The most common ones in the deep water area are first- and second-order fish and beasts, while the most common ones at the bottom of the river are earth-brown river crabs and large river shrimps with blue stars on their cyan shells.
The earth-colored river crabs are only as big as a small pot. Even though they only have a few evolved into first-order monsters, most of them are ordinary crabs. However, they are very ferocious and can kill first- and second-order fish monsters.
Shrimps with green shells and blue star dots range from a few inches to more than three feet in length. Half-sized shrimps are larger than giant lobsters on earth, and adult shrimps are three feet long.
Large river shrimps have two pairs of large pincers and are very ferocious. They often fight with river crabs over food. Green shrimps and brown crabs are the top predators in the river bottom food chain.
The gourd baby caught a dozen blue-spotted shrimps in one net, and was so excited that he ran back to the adults to offer the treasure: "Little fairy, look, what a big river shrimp! This one looks delicious."
"This is indeed delicious. You should catch more of it." Le Yun smiled and nodded. The prawns with green shells and blue dots are closely related to the most famous blue lobster in the European country F on Earth. The genes of the two are relatively close.
"Yeah!" Teng Guo jumped three feet high with joy, quickly collected the fish in the net, and ran to cast the net on the river.
The river water was blocked, and there was only a thin layer of water in the river. Monsters and fish rushed to the bottom of the river, getting mixed up with the shrimps and crabs at the bottom of the river. You also drilled down, and they also drilled down, and the river turned up.
There were countless waves.
Ying Sheng Bai Yin and Teng Guo Le were so excited that they netted one net after another, and each net was a blast.
The three humanoid beasts cleaned the fish and shrimp nets in the upstream section of the river, and then moved downstream. Those fish and shrimps that tried to swim upstream fell into the net one after another.
The three beasts went all the way down to the intersection of the river and another tributary, and then returned to the little fairy.
Then, the little fairy carried Tenghu shells upstream, and they followed behind and continued to net fish.
One person and three beasts worked all night, and they did not stop working after dawn. One person continued to collect water, and the three humanoid beasts continued to fish day and night.
Mr. Xuan rested all night, got up at midnight and made breakfast first, then set up the stove and started the plan of making a spiritual meal.
Young Master Yan is responsible for lighting the fire and handling the ingredients.
Senior Brother Yan Zhenlin ran to the river and took a stroll. He stopped picking blue-leaf grass and joined the fishing team.
Although the big river passing south of Blue City is ten miles away from the city, because people often go to planting areas or go hunting, they soon noticed the strange phenomenon of the river water plummeting.
The city lord's palace received a report from the monks that the water level had dropped significantly, and immediately sent people to investigate.
The water volume of the big river in the south is stable. It is spring now, and the water level usually only rises day by day. If the water level drops suddenly, there may be a blockage in some area upstream, the river may change its course, or there may be a big monster controlling the water.
The exploration team, composed of four foundation-building monks, followed the river bank for more than ten thousand miles and found the "culprit" who caused the water level to drop.
Seeing a group of monks cutting off water to catch aquatic fish and shrimp, the little demon beast, and the foundation-building monks flying along the river bank on flying swords, they almost fell off the flying swords. They thought something big happened upstream, but it turned out to be man-made?!
The four foundation-building monks did not dare to go up to question him, so they quickly returned to the city and reported the information they found to the city lord.
Blue City is dominated by human monks, and it was first settled by low-level human monks who were mining nearby. It eventually developed into a small town, and then later attracted monks from all races to come and go, turning it into a big city.
Blue City has always been managed by the human race, and the city lords take turns taking turns from the several teams that originally gathered and settled in Blue City, to the clans that have now become the big cultivation families.
Because Blue City is located within the Yinjiao territory, it is a vassal city dependent on the Yinjiao clan and regularly pays taxes to the Yinjiao clan.
The city lord heard that the water level of the river had dropped because people upstream were using seashells to draw water, so he immediately convened several major families to discuss the matter.
The Zhu family and the Mu family were also on the list of people discussing the matter. They didn’t know what was being discussed until they arrived at the city lord’s palace. Chief Mu said with a smile: “This matter is not as serious as everyone thought. There is no need to face a powerful enemy upstream.
The person who cut off the water is the little fairy who brought my Mu family's caravan back to Blue City. She and her companions are staying in the lake area in the mountains to the east and will leave after a while."
Looking at the worried expressions of the city lord and the elders of several clans, they have already guessed that a certain big family or sect has taken a fancy to a treasure land near Blue City and is preparing to cut off the water to study whether the river course can be changed artificially. This is an imaginary idea.
So rich in power.
A group of patriarchs and family heads having a round table meeting had blank expressions on their faces, what did you say?!
The head of the Zhu family also analyzed that it was the little fairy who used seashells to intercept the water. He could still sit still. He hurriedly left and returned to the Zhu family. He sent someone to the mountains and lakes in the east to deliver a message and make an appointment for a visit.
The Zhu family arrived in the lake area. Young Master Yan went out of the barrier to meet the Zhu family, and then asked him to wait while he sent a message to Bai Yin.
Baiyin received the summons and reported to the adults that the Zhu family asked for an audience.
"Tell him that I am busy now and ask the Zhu family to come back in three days, not counting today." Le Yun replied. She was busy collecting water and had no time to deal with mundane matters for the time being.
Baiyin conveyed the little fairy's words to Brother Yan.
Yan Xing received the reply and gave the Zhu family the right words: "The little fairy is busy and has no time these days. I asked you to come back in three days. Today will not be included."
"Okay, I'll go back and report to the head of the family." The monk of the Zhu family got the word and returned to the city without stopping.
The Zhu family got a definite answer and felt a little calmer.
While the little Loli was busy blocking the river, she stayed by the river day and night, constantly moving upstream. Three humanoid beasts and two human monks followed her to catch fish day and night.
After working hard for three days and three nights, we gathered up the team and returned to the camp.
Back at the camp, Mr. Le Xiao prepared the Lingzhu juice and picked out about 200 two-foot-long river shrimps and crabs and threw them into the concoction to let them absorb the Lingzhi juice.
The calabash boy didn't even sleep. He stayed by several large barrels and stared at them all night.
