The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 254 Goldfish Mutation
Spiritual Plant Space.

As two days passed, Chen Jinshu slowly calmed down.

The rich spiritual energy of plants surrounding him receded into his body like a receding tide, and the faint light of the blue lotus birthmark on his forehead also disappeared.

"My cultivation has improved again, and I am only a few days away from the third level of the Golden Core stage."

Although she also wanted to continue her seclusion and break through to the third level of the Golden Core stage, now was not a good time to go into seclusion.

Since the Xuan Yin Spiritual Field has just been formed, it is necessary to plant spiritual plants as soon as possible and seize the abundant Yin attribute spiritual power of the spiritual plants at the beginning of their growth in the spiritual field.

Although oolong tea belongs to the wood element, it prefers to grow in yin environments, which makes the tea leaves more flavorful.

Without saying a word, she transplanted the Wuqing tea tree.

This tree has been growing in her spiritual plant space for so long that it has reached ten years old.

In another year or two, the leaves can be harvested and made into spiritual tea.

The Wood Spirit Peach Tree also has a yin attribute, but its roots and stump are too thick to be planted in the spirit field, so she plans to place it next to the bamboo house to continue growing.

We have now entered the third wave of flowering.

The fruit produced this time is definitely edible, but the spiritual energy it contains is not as good as that of the fruit produced twenty or thirty years ago.

After all, this tree has only been growing for five or six years, and even with the spatial flow, it's only been about ten years. It's still a long way off.

After planting a new batch of Yin-attribute spiritual plants, Chen Jinshu returned to the front of the bamboo house and began to appreciate his hard work.

She caught a glimpse of the huge fish tank out of the corner of her eye.

Eight white-scaled spirit fish juveniles and the special moon spirit fish swam leisurely in the water, their scales shimmering and stirring up the fine ripples on the surface.

"what?"

When Chen Jinshu's gaze swept over the low-intelligence goldfish that she had fished out of Longyan Pond and casually kept in a tank, almost forgotten, she couldn't help but let out a soft "hmm" and raise her eyebrows slightly.

The fish's condition at this moment was completely different from when she left last time.

It is currently floating quietly in the water, maintaining a stable posture.

At that time, its belly was always white, it floated on the surface of the water, and its little mouth weakly blew bubbles.

He looked utterly listless, as if he were about to die at any moment, and his intelligence seemed pitifully low; even his attempts to dodge appeared slow.

Chen Jinshu simply assumed it was the worst kind of spirit fish and let it be, considering it as adding some life to the spirit plant space.

The goldfish is still quiet now, but it's no longer the deathly stillness it once was.

The most noticeable change is that its body, which was originally only as thick as three fingers held together, has now grown a little longer, about half a finger longer.

Its scales, though originally a bright gold, had a slightly murky appearance, like gold dust covered in dirt.

Now, the gold has become pure and translucent, as if it has been carefully polished, reflecting a brilliant yet restrained golden light under the ambient light.

Occasionally, its tail fin will sway very slightly, creating a barely perceptible ripple.

Chen Jinshu squatted down, his fingertips gently touching the cool tank wall. His divine sense probed into the water like threads, carefully enveloping the small goldfish.

She carefully sensed the faint yet unusually stable fluctuations of life force within the goldfish's body. Although the aura was still not strong, it was much more solid than before.

She could even sense that the goldfish had developed a spiritual aura, no longer the pure sense of chaos and ignorance.

"strangeness……"

"This goldfish is unremarkable in Longyan Pool, and it wilts as soon as it leaves the water. In this spiritual plant space, where the spiritual energy is even stronger, how could it revive?"

She recalled the origin of the goldfish.

Although the white-scaled fish in Longyan Pond possess strong spiritual power, their intelligence is as low as rumored.

This little goldfish was the "best of the best," clumsy even in basic instincts like seeking advantage and avoiding harm. But the changes now have clearly shattered her perception.

Could it be because of this acre of Xuan Yin spiritual field that suddenly appeared in the spiritual plant space?
The mysterious yin energy is similar to the death energy, but also different.

Perhaps it was this special characteristic that allowed the goldfish to come back to life.

"Yinshan Sparrow," she called softly.

"Qiang!"

The little blue-red bird on the shoulder immediately flew up and landed on the edge of the tank. Tilting its little head, its black pearl-like eyes curiously examined the goldfish in the tank.

"Master, this little thing isn't quite dead yet? It looks a bit brighter now?"

"Hmm. Why do you think it has changed?" Chen Jinshu asked casually.

The yinshan tit scratched the fish tank with its little claws and then sniffed the water vapor.

"Hmm... I can't quite put my finger on it. But the 'taste' in this water seems better than outside? And that golden light on its body, it looks to me like a reversion to its ancestral bloodline."

"Her bloodline has reverted to its ancestral form?" Chen Jinshu was surprised for a moment upon hearing this.

The bloodline reversion is extraordinary. The Yinshan Sparrow bloodline has undergone so many reversions and transformations to become the Qingluan bloodline it is today.

Even so, it is still somewhat incomplete, after all, the previous bloodline was indeed rather ordinary.

"Now that there are signs of recovery, we cannot let it fend for itself."

After careful consideration, Chen Jinshu quickly made a decision.

Although the goldfish was small and of ordinary origin, the strange changes it was exhibiting at this moment aroused her curiosity and a subtle premonition.

She had a vague feeling that this seemingly foolish little fish might not be as simple as it appeared.

"Intellectual disability is a serious problem! If we can help them develop their intelligence, they may be able to uncover more mysteries."

With that thought in mind, she sank into her sea of ​​consciousness and began to peruse the all-encompassing "Mysterious Female Elixir Classic".

In a short while, she found a spiritual pill that could help enlighten demonic beasts.

"Intelligence-Enhancing Pill!"

"This pill formula is a basic method created by ancient beast tamers, specifically designed to awaken the ignorant intelligence of demon beasts, clear blockages in their sea of ​​consciousness, and nourish their innate spirituality."

It has mild medicinal properties and is especially suitable for those with weak foundations and spiritual ignorance.

The required materials are few: three *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* stalks (preferably a hundred years old), three qian of *Soul-Nourishing Wood Shavings*, ten drops of *Heart-Cleansing Grass* juice, one *Spirit-Awakening Stone* powder or something containing pure spiritual energy, and water from a spiritual spring.

“I have all of these medicinal herbs on hand. What a coincidence.”

At this time, there were still some Concentration Flowers in her spiritual field that had not been fully harvested. Nourished by the spiritual plant space, they had just reached the point of having medicinal effects after a hundred years.

"It seems that it was destined in the dark."

She chuckled softly, raised her hand, and a simple bronze alchemy furnace, the Danyang Furnace, landed steadily in front of her.

Although this furnace is not top-of-the-line, she has been with it for a long time and has become quite adept at handling it.

It's merely refining a second-grade spirit pill; to say it's refined using the Mysterious Female Pill Furnace would be an exaggeration.

The furnace fire ignited instantly, but it was no ordinary flame. Instead, it was a bluish-white elixir fire that she had nurtured with her pure wood spiritual power. The temperature was controllable, and it contained a vital force within.

The process of refining the Enlightenment Pill emphasizes the key word "moistening".

The medicinal properties should penetrate gently, rather than be aggressively forceful.

As she added the spiritual herbs one by one, the furnace shimmered with light, and in a short while it was refined into a translucent turquoise liquid. Under the heat of the flames, it boiled slightly and emitted a cool and refreshing herbal fragrance.

Upon smelling it, Chen Jinshu felt his mind become more invigorated.
