The lakes where the bubble fish were raised were carefully selected by Little Fox Immortal. Above these three lakes was the center of the nebula—where the densest and most lush Star Debris Grass grew, as well as large swarms of Star Fireflies.
The bubble fish grew in these three lakes without any packs of water wolves, and even the numbers of Green Jade Carp were very few.
These three lakes were deliberately protected by Little Fox Immortal, allowing the precious bubble fish to grow from eggs to maturity as much as possible.
Now, in these lakes, many small fry were swimming.
These fry were somewhat like goldfish, with round bellies and pointed ends. But they didn’t have the colourful patterns of goldfish; most were milky white. Nor did they have the fin and tail fins like a skirt; their fins and tails were very small and delicate.
Moreover, their way of swimming was different from other fish. These bubble fish fry mostly floated up and down.
“If there are no major changes, by the end of this year, the Bubble Sea in the East Sea will be eroded by poison due to the fighting between Gu Immortals. The bubble fish schools in Treasure Yellow Heaven will greatly increase in price. However, my bubble fish are far from enough for my own use, and I cannot sell them anytime soon.” Fang Yuan mused.
Both the Star Firefly Gu and the bubble fish were his long-term investments; only after at least a hundred years would he see market benefits.
Fang Yuan did not purchase external tips on raising bubble fish.
He had tricks from his previous life that could increase the reproduction rate of bubble fish by three-tenths. It could be said that he was at the forefront of Gu Immortals.
The inspection results made Fang Yuan very satisfied.
He praised Little Fox Immortal a few words, making her extremely happy, with a blush on her face. A snow-white fox tail kept wagging excitedly behind her.
But Soul-Stealing Mountain was still deteriorating.
Standing on Soul-Stealing Mountain, Fang Yuan could feel an aura of death and extinction. This made his mood also become heavy.
Soul-Stealing Mountain was the most valuable part of the entire Fox Immortal Blessed Land. Star Firefly Gu or bubble fish were completely incomparable.
Returning to the Soul-Stealing Palace in the mountain, Fang Yuan called Little Fox Immortal and opened the Heaven-Connecting Gu again to communicate with Treasure Yellow Heaven.
As soon as it was opened, several divine thoughts came through.
“Are you still selling your Harmony Mud or not?”
“I am willing to add another pair of Hole-Digging Gu on top of the Gu recipe.”
“My incomplete recipe only has a treasure light of six zhang and five chi. But I can include some Hair Men, and everything can be negotiated.”
…
These divine thoughts were all about the trade of Harmony Mud.
Fang Yuan had previously sold a large amount of Harmony Mud, demanding the secret recipe for the Harmony Mud Immortal Gu. Since it involved an Immortal Gu, this trade had attracted the attention of many at that time.
“Although Harmony Mud is one of the necessary materials in the refining process of its Immortal Gu, the value of the Gu recipe is undoubtedly much higher than the Harmony Mud. Now these Gu recipes have undoubtedly reached their highest price.”
Fang Yuan glanced at them and knew that after these days of brewing, the opportunity to seal this deal had finally matured.
The prices from all sides had reached their limits, with little difference. Fang Yuan looked left and right and chose one of them.
The other party called himself Mud Feet Immortal, and the treasure light of his Harmony Mud Gu recipe was only six zhang and five chi.
This level of treasure light was slightly inferior compared to the competitors. But he left a message saying that he could sell some Hair Men to Fang Yuan to make up for this difference.
Gu Immortals usually raise Hair Men to help them refine Gu.
With a large number of Hair Men assisting, Gu Immortals would not lack five-turn Gu worms and only sought after Immortal Gu.
In the slave trade of Treasure Yellow Heaven, Hair Men were the most popular, often higher in price than human slaves. Stone Men could not be compared to them.
Fang Yuan had long planned to migrate some Hair Men into Fox Immortal Blessed Land.
Therefore, in Langya Blessed Land, when he saw those Hair Men, he couldn’t help but have his heart race. Unfortunately, Langya Land Spirit was stubborn and unwilling to sell, so Fang Yuan had no choice.
Now he needed a large number of Wolf-Taming Gu.
Now, the recipes for Wolf-Taming Gu from first to fifth turn had been obtained from Langya Land Spirit. He only lacked these Hair Men to help him refine Gu.
If he and Little Fox Immortal were to refine Gu alone, it would probably take two or three months to produce the quantity Fang Yuan needed.
Immediately, Little Fox Immortal passed a divine thought on behalf of Fang Yuan.
Mud Feet Immortal happened to be there and replied immediately.
“I am willing to attach ten thousand Hair Men!”
But Fang Yuan saw the goods and expressed disappointment.
“Although your Hair Men are large in number, they are all young Hair Men, which won’t help much in my Gu refining. I need old Hair Men.”
“Old Hair Men? Then the quantity will have to decrease.” Mud Feet Immortal thought for a moment and replied. In recent years, the Hair Men in his blessed land had reproduced excessively, so it was just right to handle a batch. But because of this, they were sold cheaply.
After some bargaining, Mud Feet Immortal finally agreed to sell to Fang Yuan over three thousand old Hair Men and over seven thousand young Hair Men.
