Chapter 55: Naming Chiwen

Su Ping turned his gaze toward the Flowing Pattern False Dragon Fish and the Green Spirit Fish in the Spirit Pool.

The Green Spirit Fish looked similar to the Big Green Fish, weighing about three to four jin and being the length of an adult's arm.

It was just that the scales looked quite peculiar, with faint spirit light constantly flowing over them.

Just looking at it made Su Ping's appetite stir; he instinctively felt that this fish must be top-tier food!

It was a pity that there was only one for now, not even reaching the capacity limit of the Spirit Pool, so he could not afford to be extravagant yet.

As for that Flowing Pattern False Dragon Fish, it was much larger than the Green Spirit Fish, with a body like a python, measuring over two meters long and being a reddish-gray color all over.

In particular, the fish head already somewhat resembled a dragon's head, and horns had even grown out on both sides of its forehead.

Looking at it, one would not feel it was delicious, but rather could vaguely sense the majesty of some ancient giant beast from the body of this Flowing Pattern False Dragon Fish.

This caused all of Su Ping's spirit pets to instinctively stay far away from the Spirit Pool.

Even Xiao Hei Mao, who was full of curiosity about everything, hesitated repeatedly before turning around and running to the other side.

That Big Green Fish had just submerged into the Spirit Pool and hadn't enjoyed itself for even a few seconds before it sank to the bottom and turned into a dead fish due to the appearance of the Flowing Pattern False Dragon Fish.

Su Ping swept his gaze over the bottom of the pool, chuckled, and then took out a blood-drawing tool from his Storage Bag.

Then, ignoring the protests of the Flowing Pattern False Dragon Fish, he moved his mind to have White Crane Boy grab its body and hold it steady.

Su Ping monitored the state of the Flowing Pattern False Dragon Fish while inserting the needle to slowly draw blood.

Su Ping was someone who understood the big picture and knew the difference between sustainability and draining the pond to catch the fish.

When about 20 milliliters of dark red fish blood had been drawn.

Su Ping discovered that the aura of the Flowing Pattern False Dragon Fish had suddenly withered.

Even the Dragon Might had become faint and almost non-existent.

Su Ping's mouth twitched: "Such a big fish, longer than most people, and it's already about to collapse after contributing only 20 milliliters?"

"This fish's body is no good."

Su Ping muttered a complaint and had White Crane Boy put the Flowing Pattern False Dragon Fish back into the Spirit Pool.

After entering the Spirit Pool, the Flowing Pattern False Dragon Fish remained withered and stopped swimming, choosing to sink to the bottom just like the Big Green Fish.

As soon as the Flowing Pattern False Dragon Fish sank to the bottom, the Big Green Fish woke up as if it were just planning to change positions to get away.

Swoosh!

White Crane Boy grabbed the air with his right hand and pulled this Big Green Fish, which was already over a meter long, out of the pool.

"Contract, established!"

Since Su Ping was prepared to give this Big Green Fish a fortuitous encounter, he naturally would not let go of controlling the other party through a contract.

The Beast Taming spell took effect, and a fragile consciousness connection with the confused Big Green Fish appeared in Su Ping's mind.

After the contract was successful, Su Ping used a Pill and Purification Spirit Medicine to promote the Big Green Fish to a transcendent Spirit Fish.

Afterward, he let the Big Green Fish rest for a moment to get used to its surging strength.

Su Ping injected the False Dragon Blood he had just obtained into the Big Green Fish.

Hum! The transcendent Big Green Fish felt its whole body filled with power.

Its whiskers grew much longer in a flash, resembling dragon whiskers, and its fish scales became increasingly sturdy and shimmered with black light.

After just a few minutes, the Big Green Fish actually gave people the illusion that it was a dragon breed!

At the same time, a strong wind appeared out of thin air, rolling up a mass of water to wrap around the Big Green Fish itself, allowing it to breathe while lying in the Spirit Pool water even in mid-air.

"Dragon Bloodline, controlling wind and water..."

"It looks good, but the dragon bloodline is too domineering."

"If I were to use it, I'm afraid I would also show features on the outside, and perhaps even Dragon Might would appear! I already have the Ten Directions Annihilation Body; there is no need to take that risk!"

"Anyway, it can be used to cultivate dragon-blood variants, which can also increase strength!"

"Furthermore, according to Immortal Sect records, the flesh and blood of many sub-dragon fish and beast species are highly nourishing for Cultivators when eaten!"

"Especially for Body Cultivators, it is said to be comparable to priceless Body Tempering Spirit Objects!"

"When I have time and leisure, I might be able to raise some dragon-variant Demon Beasts in captivity and enjoy them slowly."

"Thereby gaining the benefits of the Flowing Pattern False Dragon Fish without needing to bear the possible risks!"

Thinking of this, Su Ping's gaze looked at the Big Green Fish that had already transformed into a sub-dragon fish.

This made the Big Green Fish feel a chill all over; it dared not continue to show off and fell back into the Spirit Pool as White Crane Boy let go.

"Rounding it up, a sub-dragon fish is also a dragon, so you shall be called Chiwen; I hope you do not tarnish this name!"

"Otherwise, I will definitely let you experience my method of eating one fish in nine ways! Understand? Nine ways of eating! Nine!"

Chiwen is the ninth son among the nine sons of the dragon in ancient mythology, with a dragon head and fish body; one can usually see its sculpture on the roofs of high-ranking officials and noblemen.

Su Ping gave the other party this name, also pinning on it a sliver of expectation that seemed unrealistic for now.

He watched as the Big Green Fish Chiwen understood his meaning and began to spontaneously inhale and exhale the surrounding Spirit Qi in the Spirit Pool to gradually strengthen its own aura.

Su Ping nodded slightly and returned to Zhaoyue Tingfeng Pavilion to meditate and rest.

At the same time, he also kept in mind the task of finding cultivation techniques for Demon Beasts.

If there were an opportunity to stand on the shoulders of the big-shot Demon Beasts of the Cultivation World to continue studying and learning, it would undoubtedly be much faster than relying on instinctive breathing.

Three days later.

At Linyue Villa, Su Ping had just returned from the Pot Heaven and learned from the maid Ping'er that an acquaintance was waiting for him in the guest room.

"Yun Jiu?"

Hearing the name reported, Su Ping remembered this junior brother who had a talent for beast taming and wondered if he could still withstand the tempering of the fairy.

Su Ping met Yun Jiu in the Tea House.

At first glance, he almost didn't recognize the other party.

It had been only a few months since they last met, yet this Yun Jiu had already changed from a young lad with slightly unsteady steps into a gaunt figure like a dying old man, with a trace of deathly aura lingering all over his body.

"What is going on with you? Your foundation is damaged and your cultivation has regressed; this cannot be caused by mere sexual excess!"

Su Ping frowned as he asked, a flicker of anger flashing through his heart. Could it be that the female cultivators of Xianmiao Pavilion had also been influenced by the recent trend, taking money without following the rules?

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother, but this matter has nothing to do with Luo Xian Zi; it is just that I am useless..."

Seeming worried that Su Ping might suspect the wrong person, Yun Jiu hurriedly waved his hands to explain, and after trembling as he took the hot tea to drink a mouthful, he slowly recounted the cause and effect.

After Yun Jiu left Yunshan Market last time, in order to see Luo Xian Zi sooner, he had worked diligently to draw beast-taming Talismans.

Somehow, that Outer Sect Deacon Senior Brother found out about this.

That Senior Brother very enthusiastically provided the materials, but there was one requirement: he wanted Yun Jiu to draw a special beast-taming Talisman.

Drawing this Talisman would severely damage Yun Jiu's vitality given his level of cultivation.

However, Yun Jiu could not afford to wait, because he had previously received a letter from Luo Xian Zi, stating that this Immortal would be leaving Yunshan Market with the Pavilion Master next month.

Yun Jiu panicked and became anxious because of this, so he agreed to the condition of that Outer Sect Deacon and drew that unknown beast-taming Talisman.

He knew he could not possibly redeem Luo Xian Zi; after all, he had no Immortal Boat, nor did he have a Cave Abode in the Market.

But he wanted to gift a good Dharma Artifact to Luo Xian Zi, so that she could live a little better after parting from him, and also remember him a little longer...
