Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

113: A spiritual creature of heaven and earth, the black carpChen Changsheng’s three sons were all at the Innate stage; using them to build a house was simply overkill.

Chuanwu cut several large bluestones with a few strokes, then Chuanjie used his sword to trim them neatly, and finally, Chen Chuanwen moved the bluestones near the Jade Dragon Pool to lay the foundation.

Soon, the prototype of a Courtyard House built of bluestone emerged. Then, the three of them cut down some large trees and processed them into suitable timber.

They used the wood to make windows, doors, furniture, and other items, then began to install them into the Courtyard House.

Just like that, in a single afternoon, a simple Courtyard House with four side rooms was completed.

”Dad, the house is finished. Can we go fishing now?”

Chuanwen had always been a loyal fishing enthusiast. As soon as the Courtyard House was tidied up, he hovered around Chen Changsheng to go fishing.

”Alright, tomorrow we’ll bring up the quilts and other belongings from home, and this new home will be officially established! Come, let’s go fishing!”

So, the group of three took their hand-carved fishing rods and headed to the Jade Dragon Pool to start angling.

The water in the Jade Dragon Pool was clear and cool, surrounded by the beautiful scenery of snow-capped mountains. The fragrance of flowers from below the mountain drifted in with the wind. The father and his three sons fishing by the pool looked like a beautiful landscape painting!

”I’ve got a bite!”

The first to get a bite was Chen Chuanwu. He laughed, lifted his rod, and a half-meter-long black carp was pulled up. It struggled in the air, looking full of vitality!

”Haha, Chuanwu, go start a fire quickly. Let’s roast it and taste it!”

Chen Changsheng had quite an interest in fine food. Seeing Chuanwu catch a large black fish, he hurriedly told him to start cooking!

Before long, Chuanjie also caught a large black carp. Chen Changsheng told the excited Chuanjie to help with the cooking as well; this one would be used for fish soup!

Soon, only Chen Changsheng and Chuanwen were left by the Jade Dragon Pool. Chen Changsheng deliberately teased Chen Chuanwen.

”Old Second, didn’t you always say your fishing skills were superb? Why haven’t you caught anything yet?”

Chen Chuanwen chuckled, looking like a thief who had just stolen a chicken, and said jovially:

”The ones they caught are all small fish. When I get a bite, it’s bound to be a big catch. I have a secret weapon here!”

Hearing Chuanwen’s mysterious words, Chen Changsheng was quite curious and pressed him for details, but Chuanwen’s lips were sealed; he simply wouldn’t tell him!

Finally!

Chen Chuanwen’s fishing rod moved, and a ripple exploded under the rod.

”It’s a bite! Come up here!”

A look of joy appeared on Chen Chuanwen’s face. He used his strength to pull the fish up, but to his surprise, the fellow below actually held its ground!

Although Chen Chuanwen had only recently entered the Innate stage and his Qi Refining cultivation was only at the first level, his strength was not something a fish should be able to resist!

”Ha, it really is a big catch. Why not let the eldest pull this fellow up?”

Chen Changsheng walked to Chuanwen’s side and said. Chuanwu was naturally strong, and now he had the greatest strength among everyone in the Chen family!

”No, Big Brother is too reckless. If he does it, he’ll definitely break the rod. Don’t worry, Dad, I’ll play this fish for a bit; it won’t escape my grasp!”

Chen Chuanwen quickly refused. He then began a test of patience with the creature underwater. Man and fish pulled against each other, making the fishing rod creak. Chen Changsheng was afraid the rod would snap!

”Just how big is this fish? It’s so much effort just to pull it up!”

Chuanwen’s struggle also attracted Chuanwu and Chuanjie. Seeing the scene of the two sides competing, they couldn’t help but guess that the fish must be huge!

Half an hour later, the fellow underwater finally lost its strength. Chen Chuanwen laughed, gave the rod a forceful lift, and dragged it out of the water.

A thirty-centimeter black carp was pulled ashore. Its size was even smaller than a regular large black carp, and its body was streamlined. Most peculiar was a jade-like, moist scale on its forehead.

”Ah, why is this fish so small?”

Chen Chuanjie muttered with some disappointment. He had thought that after his second brother put in so much effort, he would catch a massive haul!

”What do you know, Third Brother? This is definitely no ordinary creature!”

Chen Chuanwen immediately shot back. He stared at the black carp on the shore with glowing eyes, as if examining a treasure.

With such a small size, it had such immense strength; didn’t that show its extraordinariness? Moreover, the Jade Scale on its forehead was truly beautiful, leaving a deep impression at first glance!

”Old Second is right. If I’m not mistaken, this fish should be the legendary Spirit Fish!”

Over the years, Chen Changsheng had read many miscellaneous books about cultivation, and one of them happened to have an introduction to Natural Treasures!

In the cultivation world, whether it be stones, plants, or beasts, they may, by chance, absorb a strand of the Qi of Creation. This Qi of Creation would not turn them into demons, but rather into precious Natural Treasures.

Once Cultivators obtain these Natural Treasures, they often gain unique benefits. For example, the Dao-Enlightening Spirit Tea among spiritual plants is a type of Natural Treasure; drinking its leaves allows one to sense the rhythm of the Great Dao. This type of botanical Natural Treasure is called a Spiritual Root!

And if this black carp is a Natural Treasure, it can be called a Black Carp Spirit Fish!

”Spirit Fish? What’s the story behind it? Dad, can you tell us about it?”

Hearing Chen Changsheng, Chuanjie was full of curiosity and hurriedly asked.

So, Chen Changsheng told them about the records regarding Natural Treasures.

”Dad, you mean this black carp is a Natural Treasure? Then do you know what benefits it has?”

Chuanwu asked with a puzzled look, staring at the thirty-centimeter-long black carp.

”How would I know? This is the first time I’ve seen such a Spirit Fish.”

Chen Changsheng grimaced, but then after a moment of thought, he said:

”Since it’s a fish, the way to get the benefits should be by eating it, right? Let’s taste it and see what benefits it has.”

Chen Changsheng, who had always been a glutton, couldn’t help but want to taste the Spirit Fish. This immediately won the approval of Chuanwu and Chuanjie, leaving only Chuanwen, who wanted to keep the fish as a collection, to persist in his opposition.

However, with three votes to one, Chuanwen’s opposition was invalid. So, the group immediately set up a stove and decided to steam the Spirit Fish.

This poor little Spirit Fish still tried to struggle, but it was violently punched to death by Chuanwu and then placed on the stove.

A moment later, a refreshing fragrance spread out, making one feel invigorated just by smelling it!

”Dad, it should be cooked. Let’s taste it quickly!”

Chen Chuanjie couldn’t wait and hurriedly urged. Chen Changsheng chuckled and opened the lid of the stove.

The refreshing fragrance wafted over, making one feel intoxicated!

”Dad, you eat first!”

Chen Chuanwu swallowed his saliva and hurriedly urged Chen Changsheng. After all, as sons, they couldn’t snatch food from their father.

”Then I’ll taste it first! Don’t be in a hurry, everyone will have a share! If it’s not enough, I’ll have Old Second catch more for you!”

Chen Changsheng laughed and picked up a freshly carved piece of wood, using it to put a piece of fish meat into his mouth.

Instantly, a sweetness exploded on the tip of his tongue. Chen Changsheng felt that nothing he had eaten in his two lives was as delicious as this piece of fish meat. He estimated that only the glowing dishes made by Cooking Master Boy could compare to it.

”Dad, how does it taste?”

Chen Chuanjie licked his lips and asked somewhat impatiently. Chen Changsheng chuckled, a look of reminiscence on his face as he said:

”It is truly a delicacy of the human world!”
