Chapter 17: Surrendering dignity for cover

"Dad can't wait." Pei Ruxi replied, "Those who think I can't reach the fourth level of Qi Refining within a year want to see my joke, but they haven't seen it until now."

"It's not difficult to say it, but it's not easy to say it." Pei Xiangrong used the light body technique, "Xixi, follow my footsteps."

He took one step forward and was six or seven feet away.

Three feet is one meter of Pei Ruxi's previous life.

Pei Xiangrong is tall and has long legs; Pei Ruxi is short and has short legs. He has to take three steps to keep up with Pei Xiangrong's one step even when using the light body technique.

"Slow down," Pei Ruxi said, "I can't keep up with you."

"You have to follow even if you can't keep up." Pei Xiangrong said, "You walk so slowly. I'm worried that you will be bullied by the fish later."

"Can a fish come ashore and attack me?"

"The fish will quietly surface and spit water arrows at you."

"What will happen if you are hit by a water arrow?"

"Bruising appears."

"What kind of fish is that?"

"Our Pei family's unique blue and white spirit fish has delicious meat and is rich in spiritual energy. An adult fish can be sold for six spiritual stones."

"Is it the fish I ate yesterday?" Pei Ruxi ate a very delicious fish yesterday, "Dad, I seem to eat a spiritual fish every month."

"Yesterday you ate blue-spotted spiritual fish, not blue-and-white. Blue-spotted fish is not as delicious as blue-and-white. One blue-spotted fish costs about sixty spirit coins, and one spiritual stone can buy two." Pei Xiangrong stopped to wait for Pei Ruxi, and said, Draw a water mirror.

When Pei Ruxi followed, a blue fish appeared in the mirror. It looked particularly beautiful and graceful, and its scales were dotted with beautiful dark blue irregular patterns.

Suddenly, the fish swung its tail and disappeared.A blue-black fish with spots gradually became clearer. It looked a little stupid and inflexible. It was exactly the kind of blue spots that one spiritual stone can buy two.

The water mirror shattered, and Pei Xiangrong continued to walk forward, saying as he walked: "It takes six months to raise a green spot, and at least a year to raise a blue and white one, but the green spot makes more money."

Pei Ruxi panted and caught up, avoiding obstacles on the road while saying, "Is it too difficult to grow blue and white flowers? Or is it too much to sell?"

Pei Xiangrong turned back and gave her an inquiring look: "Both. How did you guess? It's also written in the book?"

Pei Ruxi, who was suspected, did not panic at all and said: "It is written in the book. A certain weapon refiner took great pains to make a magic weapon. He priced it too high and couldn't sell it. The price was too low and he suffered a loss. The situation of this magic weapon is different from that of Qinghua The spirit fish looks very similar.”

The father and daughter came to the secret room of their ancestral home. The old man guarding the secret room verified their identities and allowed them to enter the secret room.

The secret room contained Pei's spiritual methods, exercises, secret books, etc. for cultivating immortals. Pei Xiangrong took out a jade slip and handed it to his daughter: "Learn the magic before you raise fish."

The jade slip is similar to the USB flash drive used by Pei Ruxi in his previous life. It is a thing used by monks to store information, and the contents can be read with spiritual consciousness.

Pei Ruxi's cultivation was not yet able to separate his consciousness from the body, so he put the jade slip on his forehead and felt it quietly. It took him two quarters of an hour to learn the relatively complicated spells in the jade slip.

This spell can convert ordinary spiritual power into a special spiritual power that blue and white spiritual fish like. The so-called fish farming is to throw special spiritual power into the water to feed the fish. The fish will grow faster after eating this spiritual power.

"Dad." Pei Ruxi said quietly.

"Ok?"

"You lied to me." Pei Ruxi said, "The job you wanted me to do was not to raise fish, you wanted me to be the feed for the fish."

"Regret it?" Pei Xiangrong put the jade slip back to its original place, took her hand and walked out of the secret room, "I have learned the spell, but regretting it is useless. In the next 30 days, just keep fish honestly."

The fish farming place is located in the back mountain. There is a lake in the back mountain. There are boats resting on the pier on the lake shore. Next to the pier is a simple stone house.Pei Xiangrong knocked on the door of the stone house, identified himself to the old lady inside, and was able to board the boat.

The fish raised in the lake were green spots. Pei Ruxi sat on the bow of the boat watching the fish. Unknowingly, the boat came to a moss-covered cliff.Pei Ruxi was worried that the boat would hit the cliff, so he tugged on Pei Xiangrong's sleeve and said, "You should also watch the road when rowing!"

Pei Xiangrong smiled and said, "We don't have to watch the road."

The boat swooped towards the cliff. Pei Ruxi was so scared that he held his head. Even though he knew that he had a defensive weapon with him, he still added a water shield to himself.

The next moment, the boat passed through the cliff like a phantom and arrived at the dimly lit cave.

Pei Ruxi's head-hugging and water shield were of no use, and she hit Pei Xiangrong angrily: "I'm making you uneasy and looking at my jokes!"

Pei Xiangrong laughed loudly, and after he finished laughing, he said jokingly: "Xi Xi is my darling, how could I take Xi Xi on such an adventure? It's because Xi Xi didn't trust my father that my father laughed at me."

Pei Ruxi snorted coldly: "If you hadn't lied to me, could I not believe you?"

At this time, she heard the sound of "Puff-Puff-" coming from all directions, and the boat was shaking.

She raised her hand, touched the khaki light curtain covering the outside of the boat, and used the bright light technique to illuminate the water within a radius of one foot.

The water surface is sparkling, and blue and white fish are surrounding the boat and spitting water arrows. They are not afraid of light or people.A few brave fish jumped up and spit water arrows at Pei Ruxi. Although the water arrows were blocked by the light curtain, the light curtain and the boat were also shaken by the water arrows.

"Are these fish too fierce?" Pei Ruxi was a little timid due to the large number of fish.

"Feed them spiritual power and they won't hurt you." Pei Xiangrong said and cast a spell, turning the special spiritual power that the blue and white fish like to eat into raindrops and smashing them into the water.

The sound of splashing water suddenly sounded, and countless blue and white spirit fish floated to the surface to compete for the raindrops.

Pei Xiangrong made an invitation gesture to Pei Ruxi and said maliciously: "Xixi, it's your turn to feed the fish." Pei Rushi felt that even ten of them could not feed the blue and white fish, so he asked: "How much blue and white fish should I feed?" Spirit fish? How often do you feed it?"

Pei Xiangrong said: "There are more than five hundred blue and white spirit fish in one acre of water. You are not high in cultivation. Feed half an acre, once in the morning and once in the evening. The fed blue and white spirit fish will become quiet and lazy. They won’t attack you unless you tease them.”

The boat floats on the water, and people sit in the boat.

The fish in the water couldn't help but Pei Ruxi on the boat. She slowly and slowly cast spells to transform her spiritual power, spreading the blue and white spiritual power that the blue and white spiritual fish liked like beans on the lake.

On the premise that Pei Xiangrong fed the fish once, she exhausted all the spiritual power in her body and did not feed all the more than 200 fish.

Pei Ruxi, who had no spiritual power, meditated and adjusted his breath, and found that the spiritual energy on the lake was twice as thin as that at home, and it would take half an hour to restore all his spiritual energy.She recovered her spiritual power twice and fed it to the blue and white fish. They finally sank underwater and never appeared again.

"Are you tired?" Pei Xiangrong asked.

"Tired." Pei Ruxi collapsed on the boat and didn't want to move.

"Repent?" Pei Xiangrong asked again.

"The choices I made, I expected that I would work hard and have no regrets." Pei Ruxi said, "Brother Zhi will be 14 years old next year. Will the clan arrange for him to do work similar to fish farming? If so, he will work harder next year than I do now. Several times."

She has excellent qualifications, has more spiritual power than monks in the same realm but with poor qualifications, and recovers her spiritual power faster.In addition, she has spiritual food to eat every day, and the place where she lives and meditates is rich in spiritual energy. Xiaozhi's treatment cannot be compared with hers.

Pei Xiangrong, who is familiar with the situation in the clan, said: "If Xiaozhi can be a good person, the work assigned to him will be easier; if he is not a good person, he will have to work at least eight hours a day to complete what he has to do that day."

Pei Ruxi sat up and said, "Being good at being a good person means bribing the people who arrange errands for him?"

Pei Xiangrong tapped the tip of Pei Ruxi's nose and wondered, "What book are you reading? Why do you know everything?"

"There are many things I don't understand." Pei Ruxi asked, "Is there any reward for working?"

"You will be paid as much as you do. For example, if you feed the blue and white spirit fish in half an acre of water every day, you can get ten spirit stones after 30 days. However, if you learn a spell, you have to give 60 spirit stones to the clan who taught you the spell. Pei Xiangrong replied.

"How long does it take to sell the blue and white spirit fish that you eat every day for money?" Pei Ruxi asked.

"It can be as short as four months or as long as eight months."

"When it can be sold for money in six months, if I feed the fish for a month, I can save 120 spiritual stones. The clan's ten spiritual stones are too little," Pei Ruxi said.

Pei Xiangrong raised her chin, looked at her meaningfully and smiled: "The clan is so stingy and mean. If you don't want to be bullied, change your temper to be docile and obedient. Listen to your father and be filial to him. My father won't I won’t protect you.”

This action was unlike that of a father and daughter. Pei Ruxi felt as if he was being trained as a pet.

She slapped Pei Xiangrong's hand away, raised her eyebrows, and said angrily: "If you can say things but can't do things, I'll give it back to you! My ancestors are watching me, and my father can't protect me. Dad, please recognize the reality, thank you!"

"Xixi..." Pei Xiangrong looked unhappy.

"I'm telling the truth. Dad can't refute me." Pei Ruxi ended the topic, "The fish are fed, it's time for us to go home and practice."

……

……

The boat returned to the sunny sky. Pei Xiangrong taught Pei Ruxi how to operate the boat and said, "I have something to do in the afternoon. You can feed the fish yourself."

Pei Ruxi knew that he was dissatisfied with her, so he hummed and had no other expression.

Seeing her stubbornness, Pei Xiangrong simply ignored her and allowed her to come to the back mountain to feed the fish every day. He did not accompany her anymore.

For 30 days a month, Pei Ruxi went to feed the fish every morning and dusk without interruption.

The father and daughter were in a stalemate for a month, and Pei Xiangrong lost his temper. Before Pei Ruxi bowed her head to him to beg for mercy, he shamelessly swallowed the harsh words he had said and asked her proactively: "In the past, do you want to listen to me now?" if?"

Pei Ruxi held a grudge and sarcastically said to him: "Be obedient? Bow your head to beg for mercy? I didn't bow my head to beg for mercy, but my father can bow his head and do it."

Pei Xiangrong: "..."

Even though Pei Xiangrong was thick-skinned and lied without blinking an eye, he couldn't bear Pei Ruxi's bitter sarcasm.

He felt that his authority as a father had been challenged by Pei Ruxi, and suppressed his anger and said, "Pei Ruxi, how dare you talk to your father like this?"

Pei Ruxi said strangely: "I've already said it, why do you still ask me?"

Pei Xiangrong's face lost all gentleness and said, "You won't bow your head?"

Pei Ruxi refused to bow his head and said, "I will not bow my head, nor will I ask for mercy. If my father asks me to obey his words, I'm afraid he will be disappointed."

Pei Xiangrong was angry with Pei Ruxi again. He flicked his sleeves coldly and said angrily: "Disobedient? Okay, you have the backbone, you can keep raising fish! I want to see how long you can keep it."

In this way, Pei Ruxi went to feed the fish in the morning and at dusk, day after day, month after month.

In the blink of an eye, October came, and Pei Ruxi was smoothly promoted to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

 Option C of raising fish and grilling it at the same time is great! !

  The author decided to let Pei Ruxi do this!
