Chapter 19: Nourishing Yin and Tonifying the Kidneys

Su Ping went fishing all the way back to East King Temple.

Aside from some river food caught by physical means in a fish net, he had gained nothing.

However, this was all within expectations; before having the Fishing Compass, fishing spots were not so easy to encounter by luck.

This trip successfully tamed a rat army, which could be considered a significant achievement.

When Su Ping first chose rats as spirit pets, he only valued that they were the most intelligent and their size was convenient for moving about on Water Blue Star without attracting attention.

Being able to indirectly control a rat army on Water Blue Star was a complete, unexpected joy.

Although these Water Blue Star rats had very average abilities in every aspect.

But their advantage was that after a successful one-time investment, no further consumption of Dharma Power was needed during subsequent driving! For Su Ping, who was still at Mid-stage Qi Refining and had limited Dharma Power that would lack staying power on Water Blue Star, this was very important.

Used properly, it could save a lot of meaningless consumption.

And relatively speaking, the small investment in these rat swarms could only be considered a painless, idle move for Su Ping.

Returning to East King Temple, after leaving three small gold bars on the table, Su Ping collected the remaining white sugar and brought Xiaobai and Xiaohui back to the Cultivation World.

Daoist Zhou Xuan had meditated for the whole night; it was only when he woke up to cook that he discovered the gold bars on the table, immediately realizing that the enlightened master had returned.

He hurriedly ran a lap around East King Temple, then stopped at the storeroom in some disappointment, gazing at the storeroom that was more than half empty.

Zhou Xuan sighed, knowing the master had already left without a sound.

However, the master had taken white sugar twice in a row.

It seemed his guess might have some truth to it? True cultivation might require eating more white sugar to replenish energy consumption! Thinking of the ten-thousand-word praise for the importance of white sugar he had found online, Zhou Xuan felt more and more that he had discovered a small secret on the path of cultivation.

While secretly gloating, he didn't even plan to go out for breakfast; fearing the master might come at noon, he planned to set off early to refill the storeroom's stock! …………

At Linyue Villa, Su Ping returned to his bedroom with Xiaobai and Xiaohui.

To reward the two spirit rats, Su Ping also prepared extra-small bathtubs and proportionally shrunken Body Tempering Medicine Packs for them.

Then he forcibly fed the blood-energy Waste Pill into their bellies.

Making the two spirit rats squeak in pain yet joy for the whole night.

Afterwards, Su Ping checked the state of the two spirit rats and discovered that both the Body Tempering Medicine Pack and the blood-energy Waste Pill could provide them with secondary amplification.

It was just that this method was the same as a normal cultivator popping pills; the body would soon develop various problems, leading to the subsequent effects becoming worse and worse, and finally cutting off the possibility of further advancement.

In the eyes of other cultivators, this was a dead end.

However, for Su Ping, who had the Purification Spirit Medicine, this was a broad, smooth road that allowed spirit pets to also advance rapidly!

Su Ping checked his system inventory: Big Green Fish: 9, Fishing Coin: 70. "The coins are still enough to exchange for three bottles of Purification Spirit Medicine, enough to use before the next fishing trip."

"By the way, I haven't taken out this Big Green Fish caught from fishing yet, and I don't know what this delicious meat tastes like."

Su Ping whispered, taking a Big Green Fish weighing about three jin directly from the system warehouse.

【Big Green Fish, Quality: Common, meat is fresh and delicious with few bones, edible, can nourish yin and tonify the kidneys!】

Su Ping's gaze swept over "nourish yin and tonify the kidneys," and he silently began to process the Big Green Fish in his hands.

He took out pots, bowls, and ladles, and used the Fire-Controlling Flag to start a fire.

He also let Xiaobai and Xiaohui go to the kitchen to bring him various seasonings and side dishes.

In just over twenty minutes, Su Ping had made a full fish feast for himself.

Chopped chili fish head, boiled fish fillets, deep-fried fish bones, cold-dressed fish skin...

Su Ping used his chopsticks first, and the leftovers were cleaned up by Xiaobai and Xiaohui, ensuring not a single bit of residue would be left.

Outside the house.

The aroma of the full fish feast had already permeated more than half of Linyue Villa.

The chefs were surprised at what kind of fish could produce such an alluring fish fragrance.

Most people were so envious that they kept swallowing their saliva, secretly marveling at the magic of their Inspector master. Perhaps, this was an Immortal Fish their master had caught in the heavens, which was why it smelled so good? "The taste is not bad; it leaves a lingering fragrance in the mouth after eating."

"And I can vaguely feel an extra strand of gentle energy in my body, slowly harmonizing my internal organs and meridians, and enhancing my vigor."

"Is this what the text meant by nourishing yin and tonifying the kidneys?"

"It can completely rival Demon Beast meat... No, the medicinal properties of this Big Green Fish are even gentler, and it is superior in terms of safety!"

"It's just that eating one more of these Big Green Fish means eating away five Fishing Coins!"

"Besides, such a Spirit Fish is truly too good, to the point that I dare not take it to exchange for Spirit Stones."

"I can only use it myself and let these two fellows have the leftovers."

Su Ping tapped the heads of the two spirit rats who were still wanting more.

Then he continued to meditate and cultivate.

Just like this, Qi Refining by day and Body Tempering by night.

When he felt bored, he would watch dances and listen to music, or go back to East King Temple to scroll through his phone and watch the entertainment resources accumulated over twenty years to relax his mind.

Several days passed in a flash.

It was approaching the day for the fishing spot refresh count again.

Su Ping was secretly looking forward to the arrival of this day.

Suddenly, Su Ping felt the vibration of his identity token.

Not daring to be slow, Su Ping immediately stopped his chopsticks from brushing the fish hotpot, took out the token, and saw characters appearing on it.

"Hmm?"

"The Ascension Assembly is to be held early?"

"Asking me to make preparations for the reception?"

After reading the message, Su Ping's expression was somewhat dazed.

Then he revealed a trace of confusion: "According to previous practice, the Ascension Assembly is generally held after the Beginning of Autumn."

"It's half a year early this time; is it that the Immortal Sect's miners are not enough, or is the shortage of spirit farmers too great?"

"Or perhaps, is there some change I am unaware of?"

Su Ping thought for a moment and decided to go to the Market to find someone to send a letter to his few acquaintances in the Outer Sect, to see if he could learn anything and prepare early.

Then, Su Ping finished the fish hotpot before walking out of the room, taking a carriage with great fanfare, and heading straight for the City Lord Mansion in Jinque City.

Inside the City Lord Mansion, the moment the people of the Ji Family saw Su Ping arrive, they immediately rushed over to follow his lead.

The people from other families were not surprised by this.

During this period, the entire city had been able to feel the Ji Family's determination to pledge allegiance to the Inspector.

Ji Hu even ran to Linyue Villa every few days; even if he failed to get an audience, he was tireless, as if he were just there to deliver gifts.

Su Ping naturally would not refuse such people who took the initiative to pledge allegiance.

It was just that before they produced results, he would not provide benefits just to win them over.

Su Ping entered the conference hall and sat directly in the head seat; once everyone had arrived, he informed them of the news that the Immortal Ascension Assembly had been moved forward.

A burst of whispering immediately broke out.

Some could not hold back and began to worry that the disciples of their families who were studying abroad would not be able to return in time.

Yet, no one dared to question or even complain about the Immortal Sect's decision.
