I Can Turn into a Fish-Chapter 238 - Cultivation

Chapter 238: Cultivation

The White Flower Fish is an expensive species of fish, and the most expensive part of it was not the meat, but its swim bladder, also known as its fish maw.

The White Flower Fish’s swim bladder was also sometimes called flower maws, and were considered an extremely expensive item.

Flower maws are famous in China; alongside abalone, Sea Cucumbers, and shark fins, the swim bladder are one of the four famous Chinese supplements.

Flower maws are extremely nutritious and contain a lot of colloid and protein. They are good for feminine health, good for the kidney, good for male virility, and helped improve healthy problems in the lung and kidney, and was also considered a cure for anemia. They are extremely helpful in relieving fatigue and helping surgical patients recover from their wounds.

An authentic wild catch white flower fish’s swim bladders obviously came with an extraordinary price tag. If pregnant women ate it, their babies would grow healthier. It also helped relieve pain and stop blood, made the skin healthier, helped wounds heal, cured stomachaches, helped with pain in the waist and bone, and had many other effects.

Among the swim bladders, the most famous were those that belonged to the Chinese Bahabas, and this part of the fish was the main reason why a Chinese Bahabas was always sold for millions of rmb.

As the highest quality swim bladder, the Chinese Bahabas’ swim bladder market price was over 1.5 million rmb per catty. It was said that after eating the Chinese bahabas’ swim bladder, illness would immediately be cured. After these bladders have been removed from the fish, they are dried and preserved. If used at the right time, they could save lives.

Other than the swim bladders of Chinese Bahabas, there are still Room Maws, Spider Maws, White Flower Maws, and Red Mouth Brown Croaker Maws. Of course, the White Flower Maws come from the White Flower Fish.

When Chu Xian found out how valuable this white flower fish was, he was happily surprised and even more excited fir this than for his one headed abalone catch.

The sale of the abalone would be a one time income, but these white flower maw’s would be permanent revenue. In the current market, an authentic white flower maw went for thirty thousand rmb per catty. The price definitely fit its reputation for a top quality tonic.

This news was an unexpected delight to Chu Xian.

“Now I already own two kinds of precious fish. It’s too bad that I still don’t have a Chinese Bahabas, but this is good enough.” Chu Xian chuckled and brought Sword Two and Sword Three to the airport.

But, when they passed through the security check before boarding, the attendants asked Sword Two to open the bag of abalones.

Chu Xian smiled and nodded at Sword Two. “Open It!”

Sword Two nodded and opened the bag and placed the dozen or so giant abalones on the table. It was an impressive sight.

“These are? Abalones? There are actually such huge abalones?” The two beautiful security staffers hadn’t spoken yet when a passenger behind them pointed at the abalone and exclaimed.

“Alright, Sword Two, put them away.” Chu Xian smiled. “Can we go in now?”

“Of course, Sir, please pass on through.” The two beautiful security check employees were stunned and hurriedly let them through.

“Hey hey, brother, where did you get so many abalone. That’s insane, and if I’m not wrong, one of those abalones is at least a one headed abalone?” At that time, the middle-aged man behind them rushed over and gushed.

“They’re just normal abalone.” Chu Xian glanced at the middle-aged and and chuckled before turning away.

“Hey!” The middle-aged man hurried to catch up with him, but Sword Three immediately turned around and zeroes in on the man with a murderous gaze.

The middle-aged man immediately backed away and laughed awkwardly. He looked at Chu Xian’s back and thought to himself. “So many abalone, worth at least ten million rmb. A real magnate.”

In the first class cabin, Chu Xian lay back and relaxed. When he landed in Hai Qing, Old Huang and the others were already with their cars waiting.

Three Mercedes Benz and a Rolls Royce lined up outside. The current Chu Xian finally looked like a big boss.

“Dry the abalone.” After returning to his Villa, Chu Xian called out to Old Huang. “Is this fish farm ready and prepared?”

“It’s ready. Old Feng has already hired people.”

“En.” Chu Xian nodded. “Tomorrow, have them all gather here. We’ll officially start production the day after tomorrow.”

After handling some more matters, Chu Xian went home. He returned to the heartwarming scene of readied dishes on the dining room table.

“You’re home! How did everything go.” Xiao Ying called out as she walked over to greet him.

“En, I’m home.”

“Come try the food I made. You used to complain, but I’ve been learning these past couple of days.” Xiao Ying said happily, pulling him over to the table.

“As long as you made it, it’ll be delicious.” Chu Xian rubbed her head.

The next morning, after breakfast, Chu Xian drove Xiao Ying over to the university. When he had time, he liked to drive Xiao Ying to work and pick her up after her day.

After the university, Chu Xian headed over to the villa. When he arrived, Grandpa Feng and ten workers had already been waiting for a while.

Chu Xian greeted them and asked them to wait.

“Old Huang, get me five basins of sea water.” Chu Xian entered a side room and called out to Old Huang. After some thought, he returned to Grandpa Feng and the others with orders. “Grandpa Feng, bring these men and get at least a hundred catties of small fish and small shrimp. Living ones, and small.”

“Alright Xiao Xian.” Grandpa Feng nodded, and brought some people and drove a local Chinese brand car to the fish market.

Very quickly, Old Huang had the five basins of sea water prepared, and Chu Xian looked over and nodded. With a moment of concentration, a small yellow fish appeared in his palm.

“A yellow croaker costs three energy. Not bad, its not too expensive.” Chu Xian relaxed. If everything cost ten energy like the Dunkleosteus, he would not be able to create a huge amount of little fish.

Very soon, twenty yellow croakers were created and separated into two basins.

Chu Xian continued, and very quickly a white flower fish appeared in his hand.

“Twenty yellow croakers, and twenty white flower fish. Will this be good enough for success?” Chu Xian wondered as he looked at the forty little fish inside the basins.

He was not completely certain about cultivating the yellow croakers and white flower fish. Everything depended on today’s experiment.

An hour later, Grandpa Feng and the others were back with the small fish and small shrimp. Old Huang brought the fish and shrimp into the villa room.

Because Chu Xian had used his energy to cultivate the fish, they were born around the size of a nail and could eat the small shrimp without any problem.

Chu Xian placed a handful of small shrimp inside the basin with the yellow croakers.

The yellow croakers were not active predators like the Dunkleosteuses, but when they saw some little shrimp, they slowly swam over and started eating.

Very quickly, the shrimp were all eaten. Chu Xian put some more in.

The yellow croakers still ate slowly.

As Chu Xian fed them five or six more times, he noticed that the fish were growing visibly bigger. Happiness appeared on his face.

“It actually works. Fish made through my cultivation have an accelerated growth.”
