Chapter 6

Last time during the test, he accidentally discovered that the seaweed, which originally grew slowly, started to grow wildly inside the Sea Stabilizing Pearl.

Li Qing vaguely felt that the sea inside the Sea Stabilizing Pearl might have other miraculous uses.

This time, he came specifically to verify his hypothesis.

He also threw in some ordinary fish, but the sea inside the Sea Stabilizing Pearl might be too rich in spiritual energy, causing the ordinary fish to burst and die immediately upon entry.

After much consideration, Li Qing finally decided to buy some young spiritual fish for testing.

This matter definitely could not happen on the outer island. If anyone found out, they would definitely be suspicious.

"Which Daoist friend would like to purchase something?"

After Li Qing walked in, a charming voice came from behind.

"I want to buy some spiritual fish," Li Qing said directly.

A fragrant breeze blew by, and Li Qing looked up to see a well-figured, delicate woman walking over.

The female cultivator wore a blue robe, exuding a refined aura, and her curvaceous figure was almost visible through the robe.

Initially, Li Qing thought she was just a servant, but recalling her address, he realized she was a cultivator, and her strength was even greater than his, at the Fifth Layer of Qi Cultivation.

Li Qing lightly touched his nose, grateful for the protection of the bamboo hat, which hid his expression from the other side.

"I am Liu Yuling, the manager of the Sea Spirit Pavilion. How should I address you, Daoist friend?"

"Qingyu," Li Qing replied calmly.

Liu Yuling noticed that the visitor wore a bamboo hat and did not take it off even inside the shop, indicating a high level of caution.

With this in mind, Liu Yuling did not pry further and went straight to the point.

"Please follow me, Daoist friend."

"Judging from your appearance, this is your first visit to our Sea Spirit Pavilion."

Liu Yuling glanced at Li Qing, seeing no reaction, and continued, "We sell two types of spiritual fish here."

"One type is ornamental spiritual fish."

"These fish are mostly beautiful and splendid."

"The other type is spiritual fish that can enhance the strength of cultivators."

As she spoke, Liu Yuling led Li Qing to a corner of the room.

The layout here was very simple, with a blue water array supporting several large pools, each containing many spiritual fish swimming around.

The colorful spiritual fish, swimming around, seemed like beautiful gems adorning the ordinary room.

"Please look, Daoist friend."

Liu Yuling's fair fingers made a few hand seals.

A blue light flashed from the large water array, and a water ball containing a purple spiritual fish floated out of the pool.

"This is the Seven-Color Spiritual Fish."

"This fish is a special product of our Spiritual Fish Island. A mature Seven-Color Spiritual Fish can change colors between seven different hues depending on its state."

Li Qing's calm gaze also showed a hint of curiosity.

It had to be said that this purple spiritual fish looked extremely mysterious, with a slender body over a foot long, covered in tiny scales.

Seemingly startled, the Seven-Color Spiritual Fish instantly turned into a fiery color, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

If Li Qing had more resources, he would have bought a few to decorate his simple cave dwelling.

"This type of mature spiritual fish sells for eight low-grade spirit stones each."

As Liu Yuling finished speaking, Li Qing quickly averted his gaze.

He was joking, his current wealth was only about fifty spirit stones, and these ornamental fish would not help him improve at all.

Liu Yuling understood Li Qing's meaning from his gaze.

Her shop was the only place on Crescent Moon Island that sold spiritual fish.

A large portion of the customers were for decorative purposes, and these important figures often sent subordinates to make purchases.

She initially thought Li Qing was buying some decorative spiritual fish for a powerful figure behind him, but when she saw Li Qing's persistent bamboo hat, she realized he was likely not interested in such decorative fish.

"Please come this way, Daoist friend."

Liu Yuling led Li Qing to the side.

There was a large spiritual pool here, filled with overflowing spiritual energy.

"Xuan Water Spiritual Fish."

"This spiritual fish is born in the deep sea and can naturally absorb water spiritual energy."

"The spiritual fish contains a small amount of water essence, which is particularly effective for water-type cultivators. Additionally, the Xuan Water Spiritual Fish is a primary ingredient for refining the Xuan Water Pill."

After Liu Yuling finished speaking, her beautiful eyes focused on Li Qing, as she had detected that Li Qing was a water-type cultivator and directly introduced a spiritual fish that was very suitable for him.

Li Qing's reaction was as expected, staring with interest at the blue spiritual fish with black patterns, surrounded by a water ball.

Compared to the Seven-Color Spiritual Fish, this Xuan Water Spiritual Fish clearly had a more intense spiritual energy fluctuation.

"May I ask what the price of this type of spiritual fish is?" Li Qing asked.

"The Xuan Water Spiritual Fish costs twelve low-grade spirit stones each."

Li Qing was taken aback, not expecting the spiritual fish to be even more expensive than he had imagined.

The price of one Xuan Water Spiritual Fish was equivalent to several Nourishing Essence Pills, which cost only four low-grade spirit stones each.

In the vast and boundless sea, spiritual fish had become a special treasure.

Some rare spiritual fish were often more valuable than ordinary treasures.

As a special spiritual creature, spiritual fish, besides nourishing the human body, have a gentle spiritual energy that is very suitable for refining pills.

The water essence in the Xuan Water Spiritual Fish can also help water-type cultivators refine their spiritual energy and break through bottlenecks.

Of course, this is far from what a few Xuan Water Spiritual Fish can achieve.

Li Qing nodded and continued to look at the other spiritual fish.

Seeing this, Liu Yuling continued her introduction.

"This is the Blood Spiritual Fish," Liu Yuling showed a fierce spiritual fish, about half a foot long, with a bright red body and exposed sharp teeth.

"Price: fifteen spirit stones."

"Blood Spiritual Fish are naturally aggressive, and their flesh has the effect of nourishing the cultivator's physical body."

"This is the Clear Spiritual Fish."

Liu Yuling did not change her attitude due to Li Qing's coldness and continued to patiently introduce the spiritual fish in the Sea Spirit Pavilion.

"Daoist friend, have you found anything you like?"

Liu Yuling retracted her graceful posture and looked at Li Qing with her beautiful eyes.

"I am acting on behalf of someone and plan to purchase some spiritual fish fry," Li Qing's voice came from under the black bamboo hat.

"Oh, which type of spiritual fish fry does Qingyu Daoist friend plan to purchase?"

A hint of joy flashed in Liu Yuling's eyes, but seeing the business about to be concluded, she was very happy.

"Cough, cough."

"First, please give me two Xuan Water Spiritual Fish fry."

As Li Qing finished speaking, Liu Yuling was taken aback for a moment.

"Daoist friend, are you referring to two mature spiritual fish or two fry?" Liu Yuling confirmed again.

"Two fry," Li Qing paused and continued, "To be honest, I am also acting on behalf of someone. I will first purchase two fry to confirm if they are what the senior wants, and then we can discuss the next steps in detail."

Seeing this, Li Qing felt a bit awkward under his bamboo hat.

Li Qing slightly adjusted his discomfort, as this was not the time for him to show off.

If Li Qing spent all his resources on spiritual fish and they could not survive inside the Sea Stabilizing Pearl, he would suffer a significant loss.

In the world of cultivation, without spirit stones, one cannot take a single step.

To be on the safe side, Li Qing decided to confirm the situation inside the Sea Stabilizing Pearl before making further plans.

"Two Xuan Water Spiritual Fish fry cost one spirit stone."
