Chapter 271: Pearls and Abalone
It's just that if you want to open up another saltwater lake or ocean in the Medicine King Bucket, you need to carry out a large-scale transformation of the environment inside, and of course, you also need to consume a huge amount of vitality. This is an input-output multiple-choice question.
If Tian Xu's realm is high enough and his strength is strong enough, he can transform the environment in the Medicine King Dou by himself, and he will not consume the vitality of the Medicine King Dou, but if this work is completed by the Medicine King Dou himself, the consumption of the vitality will be inevitable.
Tian Xu hesitated for a long time, repeatedly observed the environment in the Medicine King Bucket, and finally decided to cut the originally gourd-shaped lake from the thin waist of the "gourd" and transform the small end into a saltwater lake. The amount of work involved in this operation is relatively small, only the soil and rocks need to be transported to seal this section of the water less than 40 meters wide, and the deepest water of the lake here is less than 10 meters, and the workload is relatively small.
Before Tian Xu entered the Medicine King Bucket, he could put the Medicine King Bucket in his spatial ring, but when he entered the Medicine King Bucket, the Medicine King Bucket could only float on the surface of the sea. Fortunately, after the size of the medicine king bucket was reduced, it was not much different from an ordinary gourd, and it was not too conspicuous.
He worked in the Medicine King Bucket for a day, bringing large boulders and a large amount of earth from the nearby mountain to block the thin waist part of the lake. At the beginning, he relied on his strong body to cultivate the technique of chasing the sun, and carried the earth and stones little by little, and the efficiency was outrageously slow. Later, Yao Wang Dou really couldn't see it, and said: "Tian Xu, you have cultivated the Sun Chasing Technique, and have you trained your brain to be full of muscles? How long does it take to complete this? Is your formation used to show for people to see? It is not difficult to build a teleportation formation." ”
At this time, Tian Xu suddenly realized, and built a teleportation formation in the place where the earth and stone were collected and the lake came out. The efficiency of this teleportation array was not high, but after all, it saved him the trouble of carrying it back and forth, and the efficiency increased by more than ten times at once, and he finally completed the partition of the lake in one day.
Tian Xu returned to the outside of Yaowang Dou and poured a large amount of seawater into the small lake that had been separated, eventually forming a saltwater lake, in which the sea dragons, seahorses, and a few plants he had collected also settled smoothly.
He regretted that he did not collect more aquatic plants and some animals and plants that did not seem to be of such high value, and did not collect them, making the creatures in the saltwater lake quite monotonous. But since he had already left that sea, he didn't go back, anyway, there will be opportunities in the future.
When he was filling in the lake and making the sea, Ziyan also entered the Medicine King Bucket with him and helped him, but he didn't let Ziyan do it, and Ziyan ignored it. Fortunately, Ziyan's Sun-Chasing Technique has also been cultivated to the second level and the fourth form, and he is also infinitely powerful, and his ability to dig and move stones is much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators, which has helped him save a lot of time.
After an afternoon of diving, at around 8 p.m., we arrived at Jeju Island, a tourist destination in South Korea. Jeju Island is a volcanic island with some cultural attractions on it, and neither of them was interested in it, so they swam past the east side of the island, preparing to bypass the island and continue to the Tsushima Strait to the northeast.
However, Ziyan did a day's hard work in the Medicine King Bucket, saying that she was a little tired and wanted to stop and rest for a while. Tian Xu remembered that the seafood near Jeju Island was relatively rich, and pearls, abalone, lobster and fish were all local specialties, so he approached the island with purple smoke, preparing to find these seafood here, make a big meal to treat the two of them, and at the same time enrich the species in his newly made saltwater lake.
Hearing that there were pearls, Ziyan suddenly came to his senses and said, "Okay, okay, there are pearls! ”
Tian Xu smiled helplessly: "Do you think that there are three big pearls like the one you found today? It's better to find some abalone and lobster to eat." ”
Ziyan pursed her lips and dived under the water with Tian Xu to find seafood and pearl mussels, and muttered about pearls. Tian Xu knew that she was such a child's temper, and he didn't get angry, so he only took her to dive and hunt for treasures.
The dark night did not have much impact on Tian Xu and Ziyan, this was the tenth day of the second month of the lunar calendar, and most of the moon was at the zenith at this time. The water here is more than ten meters deep, and Ziyan's vision at the bottom of the sea is enough for her to search for all kinds of animals. Tian Xu's olfactory imaging and spiritual realm will not be affected, and the situation within a radius of hundreds of meters is under his eyes.
The underwater animals may have thought of them as predatory sharks or seals, and have long avoided them, making it difficult for Ziyan to search. Tian Xu intentionally or unintentionally fused the direction of progress, and took the purple smoke to the target that had already been discovered by him, so that she could feel the surprise of discovery. Sure enough, not long after, a large lobster fell into Ziyan's eyes, and after hiding under a reef, Ziyan lifted the stone and caught it in his hand.
There are many submarine reefs here, the terrain is extremely complex, and all kinds of animals and plants grow very well, Tian Xu led Ziyan to look for seafood at the same time, and also collected some seabed animals and plants into the medicine king bucket, and the species in the small saltwater lake that had just formed in the medicine king bucket gradually flourished.
Tian Xu led Ziyan to a slightly more sedimentary seabed, where a spinnaker clam lived. This is a well-known pearl mussel, and the probability of finding pearls in it is quite high.
Ziyan held up a big mussel more than a foot long and asked Tian Xu, "Will there be pearls in this big guy?" Let's open it and take a look." ”
Tian Xu's realm swept through the mussel and found that it was empty. This big mussel has grown to such a big size, I don't know how many years it has been living on the bottom of the sea, Tian Xu couldn't bear to kill it like this, so he took this big mussel, used the field to relax its obturator muscle, opened it, and let Ziyan touch it in the shell meat, and after finding nothing, released it. Tian Xu said: "This pearl is not only found in large mussels, sometimes there are also smaller mussels. ”
As he spoke, his domain swept over the top of these sensory sail mussels one by one, and finally picked up a medium-sized mussel and handed it to Ziyan, saying, "There should be pearls in this one, but it's not as big as those three, you come and look for it." As he spoke, he opened the shell.
Ziyan stretched out his hand and touched the inside of the mussel meat, only to feel that there was a lump in the soft membrane under the mussel meat, and there were really a lot of pearls. She carefully cut a small hole in this soft membrane, and squeezed it from the inside out, and dozens of pearls, large and small, appeared in front of her eyes. Ziyan held these pearls in his hand, and there was a handful of them. It's just that these pearls are not too big, the largest ones are about two centimeters, the small ones are only the size of soybeans, and some are not too round, obviously not of high value.
However, she was still very happy and put these pearls into her spatial ring.
She knew that Tian Xu had a spiritual realm, and she could directly identify whether there were pearls in a mussel, or she could open the shell of the mussel and take out the pearls without harming the mussels, and she didn't even have the fun of discovering surprises, so she no longer asked Tian Xu to help her choose, but looked for it with her eyesight.
Tian Xu saw that she was looking for them slowly, and most of the mussels she found did not have pearls, and he didn't know if she would just keep finding Tianliang, so he said: "Why don't I put these mussels into the Medicine King Bucket, and you can find them slowly when you have time in the future, how about it?" Now that the moonlight on the sea is just right, let's find some delicious food first, and go up for a big meal." ”
Ziyan was already tired, and when he heard him talk about eating, he put down the matter of looking for pearls first, and asked Tian Xu to put these mussels into the medicine king bucket.
Tian Xu turned in a direction with Ziyan, and by the way, caught a large halibut from a sandy bottom. This halibut is nearly two feet long and weighs more than five pounds. Its whole body is hidden under the sand, and only two small bulging eyes stick out from time to time to observe the situation outside, which is extremely difficult to spot. If it weren't for Tian Xu's powerful domain, there would be no way to take it for a while. Now that she has this big fish, Ziyan's desire to eat fish can be satisfied to a certain extent.
Going further, Tian Xu caught some sea cucumbers into the space, he didn't know if Ziyan would like this thing, anyway, he himself was insensitive to this play. It's not that he doesn't like the insect-like size of sea cucumbers, but he doesn't like the smell of them. I put the sea cucumber into the medicine king bucket to see if the taste of the sea cucumber can be improved after being raised in the medicine king bucket for a period of time.
Catching sea cucumbers was just a hand, and the purpose of bringing Ziyan here was a rocky place in front of him, where a lot of abalone grew.
When she was still more than ten meters away from the abalone, Ziyan also noticed the existence of these single-shell shellfish, she didn't know the abalone, but asked Tian Xu: "Will there be pearls in these small mussels attached to the reef?"
Tian Xu pretended to be surprised and looked in the direction of Ziyan's finger and said, "Let me see...... Ah, there shouldn't be pearls in this thing, but this shellfish should be delicious, because it's abalone. ”
Ziyan knew that Tian Xu was deliberately teasing herself, so she didn't get angry, and said curiously: "Is this an abalone? As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed a larger one.
The abalone was startled by her, and at once clung to the reef. The abalone's suction cups are so powerful that abalone pickers usually shovel them off the stones when they don't have a spare. Otherwise, if they are allowed to latch on to the reef, they will have to wait until they are relaxed before they can be removed.
Ziyan didn't believe in this evil, grabbed the abalone shell with the five fingers of his right hand, and pulled it hard, pulling the big abalone, which was more than half a catty, off the reef. But to her surprise, the abalone's strength was so great that it sucked off all the reefs it was attached to. If it weren't for her cultivation and sun-chasing skills, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to get the abalone off this reef.
