Chapter 450: Breeding less and less

That was the sentence they were waiting for. Xu Jie didn't stand on ceremony, taking the lead to reach the pot, where he first ladled a bowl of soup and took a small sip.

The other disciples around watched Xu Jie, full of expectation, wanting to see his evaluation.

"What a good soup, fresh, sweet, and delicious..."

Under everyone's gaze, Xu Jie's eyes lit up, and he praised it sincerely. Without another word, he drank the soup in front of him clean.

Seeing this, the disciples hesitated no longer. Even the disciples from the Jade Maiden Peak, like Zhao Rou and Zhong Ling, stepped forward one after another, wanting to taste the spirit frog.

Although the spirit frog was exceptionally ugly in appearance, now that it had been turned into a delicacy, the aroma was indeed hard to resist.

All the disciples were like this, and the spirit frogs, which hadn't been collected in large numbers to begin with, were almost instantly divided up by everyone.

Most disciples didn't even get to taste it.

And those disciples who managed to grab some were full of praise; the taste was truly superb.

Who could have imagined that the spirit frog, which had always been shunned, could actually be so delicious?

It was only enough to whet their appetites. After finishing the few spirit frogs in front of them, the disciples looked at each other, everything understood without words.

Immediately, everyone walked toward the riverbank in unison.

Seeing this, Ye Changqing smiled slightly. It seemed that, just as he had thought, the spirit frog was indeed a delicacy, and with this, the matter of the Heaven-Reaching River should be considered resolved.

What spirit frog infestation? For the senior and junior brothers, it was no issue at all. With such delicious spirit frogs, how could there ever be a chance for an infestation?

Before long, the disciples arrived at the riverbank, and looking at the spirit frogs filling the river, their eyes all lit up.

If they had been somewhat disgusted before, now, in everyone's eyes, these spirit frogs were rare delicacies. And as for delicacies, how could the disciples ever think there were too many?

"Brothers, let's go!"

Following Xu Jie's order, the disciples began the operation of catching spirit frogs.

Even the Jade Maiden Peak disciples, who had been unwilling to touch the spirit frogs, were at the forefront this time, without a trace of their previous disgust.

"Junior Sister, didn't you say you'd rather die than touch these spirit frogs before?"

"That's different! Before, we didn't know these spirit frogs were so delicious."

Useless spirit frogs were naturally disgusting, but delicious spirit frogs were a completely different matter.

On the surface of the river, tens of thousands of Dao Yi Sect disciples were happily catching spirit frogs.

And the number of spirit frogs was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

For the disciples, catching spirit frogs was simply too easy; these spirit frogs were silly and didn't even hide, so one could scoop up several with a casual reach.

After a hard afternoon's work, by dinnertime, the disciples brought back more than a dozen full storage rings, all packed with spirit frogs.

Ye Changqing first taught everyone how to skin, gut, and clean them.

With so many spirit frogs, it was indeed troublesome for one person to handle, and the senior brothers were very happy to help.
