Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 493: Chapter 235: Two… Cunning Ice Jiao?

Then… fell into the lake.

Immediately, the whole Fish Pond turned blood-red, and those Spirit Fish that were devouring the Golden-scaled Carp seemed to be stimulated, starting to struggle frantically.

For a moment, countless splashes emerged from the water surface.

Ji Yuan used his Mana to block the splashes from hitting him, while his Divine Sense remained fixed on the lake surface.

’That mid-stage First Rank Spirit Fish broke through to the late First Rank.’

’And that one… a First Rank Spirit Fish successfully evolved to the Second Rank.’

Even with the birth of a Tier Two Spirit Fish, Ji Yuan didn’t pay much attention, because it wasn’t his goal.

’Hmm?’

In a corner of the Fish Pond, a chill suddenly spread out, and just as Ji Yuan thought a Frost Serpent was born, it turned out only a Water Attribute Spirit Fish had mutated into an Ice Attribute Spirit Fish.

Not much use, still have to wait.

But he waited until the commotion in the Fish Pond subsided, and three Second Rank Spirit Fish were born, yet there was still no sign of a Frost Serpent.

’Damn it, I still don’t believe this!’

drops of Serpent blood had already been sprinkled, could it still lack this bit?

Ji Yuan took out the remaining bottle of Serpent blood, which still had 5 drops.

Just as he was about to take out all 5 drops in one go, he hesitated for a moment.

Maybe… just 4 drops, if it really doesn’t work, the remaining 1 drop could still be used to feed the Frost Serpent, surely it would be useful, couldn’t possibly have wasted 800 Mid-grade Spirit Stones for nothing.

Another 4 drops of Serpent blood were sprinkled, causing the Spirit Fish, having just experienced a feast, to boil again.

But this time, there were fewer Spirit Fish on the water surface.

Many Spirit Fish couldn’t withstand this nourishment, they fled underwater, hiding like turtles.

The remaining early First Rank Spirit Fish that hadn’t yet been nourished took the opportunity to stealthily surface and devour the Golden-scaled Carp, but this also brought the nurturing effect of the Serpent blood.

Ji Yuan continued to wait there, for a full quarter of an hour.

Seeing the 4 drops of Serpent blood almost completely consumed, yet still, no Frost Serpent had been born.

“Damn it, am I seriously going to have to seek out Dragon Qi? Is that something a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like me can touch?”

Ji Yuan cursed in anger, but just as he was about to turn and leave, he saw not far from him on the surface of the Fish Pond, a little Carp twitched, its body began to extend on its own, and its originally red scales turned light blue…

Success?

Success!

The second Frost Serpent hatchling, which Ji Yuan had been waiting for so long, finally appeared!

“Phew—”

Ji Yuan let out a long breath; it seemed the path of using Serpent blood for nurturing Frost Serpents was indeed feasible.

And at the same time, a new line of text popped up on Ji Yuan’s interface.

“Fish Pond triggers Spirit Effect: Rainbow Carp to Serpent.”

Accompanying the text, the Spirit Fish that was initially an early First Rank completely transformed into an early First Rank Frost Serpent.

Just like when the first Frost Serpent was born.

Slender and long, like a chopstick.

After the birth, the Frost Serpent paused for a moment, as if not reacting, then after a few breaths, it suddenly lifted its head, surfaced.

Looking around, but upon sensing Ji Yuan’s aura, it got startled and shrank, diving back into the Fish Pond, then swam away with a flick of its tail.

No matter how far it swam, it was still within the Fish Pond.

Ji Yuan locked onto it with his Divine Sense, recalling the birth of the first Frost Serpent.

He remembered it also transformed from an early First Rank Spirit Fish, so the chance of turning into a Serpent might be higher for early First Rank Spirit Fish?

Once they mature, it’s hard to transform again.

So it seems, just need to bring back more early First Rank Spirit Fish in the future.

As for the Tier Two Spirit Fish in the Fish Pond now, they basically have no hope.

Ji Yuan watched the Frost Serpent for a while, and found it had none of the viciousness of a Frost Serpent, unlike the one in his hand which immediately attacked other Spirit Fish upon transforming.

But this one?

Though only an early First Rank, it was still a Serpent, yet when a mid-stage Tier One Spirit Fish glanced at it, it cowardly submerged, hiding in aquatic plants at the bottom.

This?

Damn Serpent?

Ji Yuan couldn’t help but feel helpless, deciding to release the Frost Serpent in the Spirit Beast Bag, preparing to let it see its kind and gain experience.

With this thought, the mid-stage Tier Two Frost Serpent emerged from the Spirit Beast Bag at Ji Yuan’s waist.

And as soon as it came out, the Frost Serpent reached Ji Yuan’s chest, then climbed up along, rubbing against his arm with a flattering demeanor.

“You damn dog.”

Ji Yuan could easily tell what it was after.

Wasn’t it just thinking if there was more Serpent blood around, hoping for a taste.

Ji Yuan took out the last drop of Serpent blood from the Storage Bag, stuffing both the blood and the Jade Bottle into the Frost Serpent’s mouth.

The latter swallowed it whole, and immediately a unique aura of the Serpent species emanated from its body.

It also seemed unable to withstand the power of a drop of Serpent blood, initially only as long as an arm, it leapt down from Ji Yuan, and upon landing, its body began to grow larger.
