Chapter 17 Rather than sacrificing dignity for cover
"Daddy can't wait. Pei Ruxi replied, "Those who think that I can't cultivate to the fourth level of Qi refining within a year want to see me laugh, but they haven't seen it until now. ”
"It's not hard to say it, but it's not easy to say it. Pei Xiangrong performed a light body technique, "In the past, keep up with my footsteps." ”
He took one step at a time, and he was six or seven feet away.
Three feet is one meter in Pei Ruxi's previous life.
Pei Xiangrong is tall and has long legs, Pei Ruxi is short and has short legs, and he has to take three steps to keep up with Pei Xiangrong's step when using the light body technique.
"You slow down. Pei Ruxi said, "I can't keep up with you." ”
"If you can't keep up, you have to follow. Pei Xiangrong said, "You walk so slowly, I'm worried that you will be bullied by the fish later." ”
"Can a fish come ashore and attack me?"
"Fish will creep out and spit arrows at you. ”
"What happens if you get hit by a water arrow?"
"There was bruising. ”
"What kind of fish is that?"
"Our Pei's unique blue and white spirit fish is delicious and rich in aura, and an adult fish can sell for six spirit stones. ”
"Is it the fish I ate yesterday?" Pei Ruxi ate a very delicious fish yesterday, "Daddy, I seem to have a spirit fish to eat every month." ”
"Yesterday you ate a blue-spotted spirit fish, not a blue-and-white one. Blue spots are not as delicious as blue and white, a blue spot is about sixty spirit coins, and a spirit stone can buy two. Pei Xiangrong stopped and waited for Pei Ruxi, and drew a water mirror.
and Pei Ruxi followed, and a blue-blue fish appeared in the mirror, particularly beautiful and aura, and the scales were decorated with beautiful dark blue irregular patterns.
Suddenly, the fish wags its tail and disappears. A blue-black speckled fish gradually became clear, looking a little silly and inflexible, it was a blue spot that a spirit stone could buy two.
The water mirror shattered, Pei Xiangrong continued to walk forward, and said as he walked: "It takes six months to raise a blue spot, and at least a year to raise a blue spot, but the green spot makes more money." ”
Pei Ruxi gasped and chased after him, avoiding obstacles on the road, and said, "Is it too difficult to raise blue and white?"
Pei Xiangrong turned back to give her an inquiring look: "Both." How do you guess it? It's written in the book?"
Pei Ruxi, who was suspicious, did not panic at all, and said: "It is written in the book." A certain refiner painstakingly made a magic weapon, but the price was too high to sell, and the low price was too much of a loss. The situation of this artifact is very similar to that of the blue and white spirit fish. ”
The father and daughter came to the secret room of the ancestral house, and the old man guarding the secret room checked their identities and allowed them to set foot in the secret room.
In the secret room, there were Pei's immortal cultivation methods, exercises, cheats, etc., Pei Xiangrong took down a jade slip and handed it to his daughter: "After learning the spell, I will go to raise fish." ”
The jade slip is similar to the USB disk of Pei Ruxi's previous life, which is a thing that the monk stores information and can read its contents with his divine sense.
Pei Ruxi's cultivation was still unable to detach his consciousness from his body, so he put the jade slip on his forehead and meditated on it, and it took two quarters of an hour to learn the relatively complex spells in the jade slip.
The spell can transform ordinary spiritual power into a special spiritual power that the blue and white spirit fish likes, and the so-called fish farming is to throw special spiritual power into the water to feed the fish, and the fish can grow faster after eating this spiritual power.
"Daddy. Pei Ruxi said quietly.
"Huh?"
"You lied to me. Pei Ruxi said, "What you want me to do is not to raise fish, you want me to be feed to the fish." ”
"Regret it?" Pei Xiangrong put the jade slip back in its place, took her hand and walked out of the secret room, "The spell has been learned, regret is useless, you can honestly raise fish in the next thirty days." ”
The fish farming place is located in the back mountain, there is a lake in the back mountain, and the wharf on the shore of the lake rests small boats, and a simple stone house is built next to the wharf. Pei Xiangrong knocked on the door of the stone house, identified himself with the old lady in the house, and was able to board the boat.
The fish raised in the lake are blue spots, Pei Ruxi sat on the bow of the boat to watch the fish, and unconsciously the boat came to a mossy cliff. Pei Ruxi was worried that the boat would hit the cliff, so he pulled Pei Xiangrong's sleeve and said, "Boating also depends on the road!"
Pei Xiangrong smiled and said, "We don't have to look at the road. ”
The boat swooped down on the cliff, Pei Ruxi hugged his head in fright, knowing that he had a defensive magic weapon on his body, he still added a water shield to himself.
The next moment, the boat passed through the cliff like a phantom and came to a dimly lit cave.
Pei Ruxi's hugging head and water shield didn't come in handy, she hit Pei Xiangrong angrily: "Make you uneasy and kind to look at my jokes!"
Pei Xiangrong laughed, and after laughing, he said jokingly: "Xi Xi is my heart and soul baby, how can I take Xi Xi on an adventure? ”
Pei Ruxi snorted coldly: "If you didn't lie to me, could I not believe you?"
At that moment, she heard the sound of "poof-poof-poof-" coming from all directions, and the boat was rocking.
She raised her hand and touched the earthy yellow light curtain covering the outside of the boat, and used her light technique to illuminate the waters within a radius of one zhang.
The water surface is sparkling, and the blue and white spirit fish spit out water arrows around the boat, not afraid of light and people. A few daring fish also jumped up and spat water arrows at Pei Ruxi, although the water arrows were blocked by the light curtain, but the light curtain and the boat were also swayed by the water arrows.
"Are these fish too fierce?" Pei Ruxi was a little cowardly.
"Feed them spiritual power, and they won't kill you. Pei Xiangrong said and cast a spell to turn the special spiritual power that the blue and white spirit fish likes to eat into raindrops and smash it into the water.
The sound of the water suddenly sounded, and countless blue and white spirit fish surfaced to compete for raindrops.
Pei Xiangrong made a gesture of invitation to Pei Ruxi, and said malice: "Xixi, it's time for you to feed the fish." ”
Pei Ruxi felt that ten of them couldn't feed the blue and white spirit fish, so he asked, "How many blue and white spirit fish should I feed?"
Pei Xiangrong said: "There are more than 500 blue and white spirit fish in one acre of water, your cultivation is not high, feed half an acre, feed once a day in the early morning and once at dusk." Feeding the blue and white spirit fish will become quiet and lazy, and they will not attack you unless you tease them. ”
The boat was floating on the water, and Pei Ruxi on the boat cast a spell to transform spiritual power, and sprinkled the blue and white spiritual power that the blue and white spirit fish liked into the lake like beans.
On the premise that Pei Xiangrong had fed the fish once, she exhausted all the spiritual power in her body, and she did not feed all the more than 200 fish.
Pei Ruxi, who had no spiritual power, meditated and breathed, and found that the aura on the lake was twice as thin as that at home, and it took half an hour to recover all the spiritual power. She regained her spiritual power twice and fed it to the blue and white spirit fish, and they finally sank under the water and never showed their faces again.
"Are you tired?" asked Pei Xiangrong.
"Tired. Pei Ruxi collapsed on the boat and didn't want to move.
"Do you regret it?" Pei Xiangrong asked again.
"The choice I made, I expected that I would work hard, and I would not regret it. Pei Ruxi said, "Brother Xiao Zhi will be fourteen years old next year, and the clan will arrange for him to do work similar to fish farming? If so, he will work several times harder than me next year." ”
She has excellent qualifications, and her spiritual power is more than that of monks in the same realm but with poor qualifications, and the speed of recovery of spiritual power is also fast. In addition, she has spiritual food to eat every day, and the place where she lives and meditates and cultivates is full of spiritual energy, and Xiaozhi's treatment cannot be compared with her.
Pei Xiangrong, who is familiar with the situation in the clan, said: "If Xiao Zhi can be a man, the work arranged for him will be easier, and if he can't be a man, he will be busy for at least eight hours a day to finish what he needs to do that day." ”
Pei Ruxi sat up and said, "Does being a man mean bribing someone who arranges errands for him?"
Pei Xiangrong nodded the tip of Pei Ruxi's nose and wondered, "What kind of book are you reading, how come you know everything?"
"There are a lot of things I don't understand. Pei Ruxi asked, "Is there any pay for work?"
"For example, if you feed the blue and white spirit fish of half an acre of water every day, you can get ten spirit stones after thirty days. However, if you have learned a spell, you will have to give sixty spirit stones to the clan that taught you the spell. Pei Xiangrong replied.
"How long does it take for a well-fed blue and white spirit fish to sell for money?" asked Pei Ruxi.
"It can be as short as four months, as long as eight months. ”
"When it can be sold for money in six months, I can save one hundred and twenty-five spirit stones by feeding fish for a month, and the clan will give me ten spirit stones too little. Pei Ruxi said.
Pei Xiangrong raised her chin and looked at her meaningfully and smiled: "The clan is so stingy and so mean. You don't want to be bullied, so change your temperament to be docile and well-behaved, listen to Daddy's words, be filial to Daddy, Daddy will not fail to protect you. ”
This action is not like a father and daughter, Pei Ruxi has a feeling of being trained as a pet.
She snapped Pei Xiangrong's hand away, her eyebrows were upside down, and she said angrily: "I can't do what I can say, I will give it back to you!" The old ancestor is looking at me, and Daddy can't protect me. Please Daddy recognize the reality, thank you!"
Instead of sacrificing dignity to seek the protection of others, it is better to make up your mind and strive to become stronger.
"The old ......" Pei Xiangrong's face was not good.
"I'm telling the truth, and Daddy can't contradict me. Pei Ruxi ended the topic, "The fish are fed, it's time for us to go home and cultivate." ”
......
......
When the boat returned to the sunny sky, Pei Xiangrong taught Pei Ruxi to steer the boat and said, "I have something to do in the afternoon, you can feed the fish yourself." ”
Pei Ruxi knew that he was dissatisfied with himself, so he snorted and said nothing else.
Pei Xiangrong saw that she was stubborn, so he simply ignored her, and let her come to Houshan every day to feed the fish, without accompanying her a second time.
Thirty days a month, Pei Ruxi went to feed the fish every morning and dusk, without stopping.
The father and daughter were in a stalemate for a month, Pei Xiangrong's anger disappeared, and he couldn't wait for Pei Ruxi to bow his head to him and beg for mercy, so he took the initiative to ask her: "Do you want to listen to Daddy now?"
Pei Ruxi refused to bow his head and said, "If Daddy asks me to obey my words, I'm afraid I will be disappointed." ”
Pei Xiangrong was angry with Pei Ruxi again, flicked his sleeves coldly, and said angrily: "Disobedient? Okay, you have backbone, you go on to raise fish! I want to see how long you can raise it." ”
In this way, Pei Ruxi went to feed the fish in the early morning and the fish at dusk, day after day, month after month.
In the blink of an eye, October came, and Pei Ruxi was steadily promoted to the fifth level of qi refining.
