Chapter 134: Physical Enhancement, Underground Evolution

Walking forward all the way, the number of fish increased, just a few here and there, not many; Chen Chuyang had no intention of catching these fish, catching them would be useless, better to wait until they fully grow, then slowly catch and eat them later, first raise them, sustainable development is still clear.

However, there is also a situation where the fish are just this size; the silver spirit fish are only this big and cannot grow any larger—at most a little bigger. After all, these fish are born in darkness, merely surviving is not easy; some fish are just this size, at most doubling in size, and their numbers may not be many either.

First, food is limited; the food underground is fixed, cannot be increased, nor can it be artificially fed; these silver spirit fish can hold things in their mouths, they don't eat just any food, which guarantees their uniqueness.

Second, environmental issue: the water flow is limited, can only support this many fish; this is an environmental limitation that Chen Chuyang cannot change for now; he could keep clearing the entire water flow, which is to expand the territory, thereby allowing the fish to increase.

After all, it's not his fish pond; there is plenty of food, and Chen Chuyang also feeds them, so they grow quickly; once grown, they will be sold off, not kept indefinitely, because once they reach a certain limit, they will not continue growing.

Many problems limit things; these problems are numerous—for example, the fish species, various aspects of fish problems, etc.; all these factors are things Chen Chuyang must consider.

Going further inside, the fish seen are not many; the silver spirit fish are just that many, spreading a little to other places along the water flow, then breeding offspring; time has not been long, Chen Chuyang also did not disturb their lives, the formations have no major problems, basically they do not suffer impacts or damage, these formations will be fine.

The formations limited things, but the spiritual energy concentration increased a lot instead, without leaking out; Chen Chuyang felt relieved about that.

Going straight ahead, there weren't that many worries; having the first experience, the second time would not be so slow.

Walking all the way to the end, Chen Chuyang showed a smile; here the silver spirit fish had increased a lot, the number was more than three times what it was on the previous entry; moreover, these fish were not small, larger than the other fish, their size had at least doubled, yet they were still small.

At most the size of a palm, this was already the largest silver spirit fish; Chen Chuyang reached out and scooped up two fish, extending his spiritual sense into them to examine their structure and bloodline, also checking their condition.

"The bloodline has changed; there is more of the demon beast blood aura on them. Indeed, those bloods have a great influence on these silver spirit fish; these largest fish obviously have consumed the most demon beast blood aura, they also grow the fastest; if there is enough demon beast blood, perhaps they can complete a bloodline advancement."

"These many silver spirit fish have grown quite well; I wonder how they taste?"

The structure remained the same, flashing a faint silver light, very beautiful and pleasant to look at.

Like an artwork, but it does not delay Chen Chuyang from eating them.

He started grilling on the spot; the pill fire burned, he grilled carefully, not wanting to damage the surrounding environment.

One bite in, the fish meat melted in the mouth, very tender and smooth.

Moreover, there were no bones, and Chen Chuyang's eyes lit up.

"The taste is much better than the previous silver spirit fish; the mouthfeel improved, and the aura it contains is richer, able to bring some change to my body; the bloodline of these silver spirit fish has risen, the body‑training effect also increases, many times stronger than spirit fruit."

Both fish entered Chen Chuyang's stomach, paired with a bowl of rice—heaven on earth.

Chen Chuyang, who now knows the taste from eating the marrow, looked at the other silver spirit fish and drooled.

He suppressed his thought; there are many fish here—if we catch some and take them out, could we raise them outside?

"We should be able to raise them on our own; if we can raise them, they would be better than the fish in my fish pond, and naturally not cheap."

"Such a good thing, I couldn't bear to sell it; even for myself it's not enough."

Chen Chuyang is not stupid either; selling this would bring a lot of trouble.

It would be better to enjoy it himself; the quantity is not large either, and he painstakingly cultivated them not to feed others.

There are also many Chen clan members; if they digest it themselves, perhaps it could further improve the Chen clan's physique.

Since Chen Chuyang's body already shows the effect, those Chen clan members naturally need no further explanation.

"The effect is good, but we still cannot raise them in the fish pond; the environment these fish need cannot be simulated."

"Moreover, I cannot find that much demon beast blood for them."

Chen Chuyang felt it was a pity; raising them underground stays underground, after all they are his things and won't run away.

Not letting others know makes it better and safer.

He scooped up some grown fish, Chen Chuyang put them in his storage bag; these fish are all good things, later he can let his mother and them try the taste to see the effect, especially his father, who is about to condense a golden core; strengthening the body can increase his chance of success.

Also there is Hongxue, his sister, his older brothers—they all need to strengthen their bodies; their bodies are too weak.

They do not meet Chen Chuyang's standard; family members get priority first, others can be discussed later.

The quantity is just this much, so naturally it cannot be cheap for outsiders.

After scooping some fish, Chen Chuyang went to look at the demon beast blood he had collected; there was some, he picked it up, looking at the demon beast blood in the bottle, after purifying it on the spot and evaporating some water, what remained was demon beast blood—not much, just a bottle of demon beast blood.

Seeing it was not much, Chen Chuyang was very satisfied; this demon beast blood had accumulated over many days and is precious.

Refining another batch of Dragon Blood Pills would also raise Chen Chuyang's cultivation speed; having pills in hand would make him feel more at ease.

The previous batch of Dragon Blood Pills is gone, all used up; this time he must definitely refine a batch properly.

He can also directly absorb demon beast blood to stimulate his body's bloodline.

In short, demon beast blood is very useful; as for the other side, after Chen Chuyang extended his spiritual sense and felt shock and hostility, he no longer had the intention to go over.

At least, for now he still cannot just go over recklessly.

Being more steady would be better; he does not want to ruin the underground layout.

Nor does he want to affect the situation of Longshe Shan.

Finally, Chen Chuyang reluctantly glanced a few times, probing to see if he could get more demon beast blood out; the result was poor, not fulfilling his wish, and he was not as lucky as the first time.

"Really stingy, not giving me even a drop of blood."

"Don't let me find an opportunity, otherwise I will surely drain your blood."

Chen Chuyang cursed twice, "not giving me even a drop of blood, too stingy."

If the demon beast on the other side knew, even dead it would likely come to settle accounts with him.

After checking the surroundings, there were no other problems and he had not been discovered; only then did Chen Chuyang return the way he came.
