If you want to obtain the spiritual essence, you need to raise the animals to adulthood, or go through the years from cubs to adulthood.

For example, if you want to obtain the spiritual marrow of this turtle, regardless of whether it is a hatchling or an adult turtle, you must raise it for about eight to ten years before you can obtain the spiritual marrow from them.

Compared to chickens and pigs, turtles take far too long to reach adulthood.

However, Liu Cang's breeding ability is also convenient. He does not need to kill the turtles he raises to obtain the spiritual essence. It is similar to ingestion and has no adverse effects on the turtles themselves.

As long as the turtles are able to produce spiritual marrow, after a one-year cycle of breeding, spiritual marrow can be harvested from them again.

If you have spiritual essence in your hand, it is also very convenient to improve the quality. Just find a turtle and let it absorb and fuse it.

Ten copies of the first-level spiritual essence can upgrade a turtle to the second-level, but if you want it to produce the second-level spiritual essence, it is best to use the turtle raised earlier for upgrading.

Because in that way, you can often obtain the second-level spiritual essence in the second year.

If you take a turtle that is not within the breeding range and hit it to level two, and you want it to produce level two spiritual essence, you will have to raise it for another ten years.

This also caused Liu Cang to catch some wild turtles when making soup. He treasured the turtles released in the pond, and the turtle pit he originally dug at his home became a place for him to raise hatchlings.

It has to be said that although they have raised many turtles, due to growth issues, there are only about fifty turtles that can stably produce spiritual marrow for Liu Cang.

Liu Cang confirmed the effect of turtle meat only a year ago. Currently, among the turtles in his pond, less than ten can produce second-level spiritual essence.

As for Liu Cang's spiritual beast, 'Ban Bian' is now also a second-level quality turtle.

Obviously, Liu Cang wants to make a fuss about his lifespan, so he may have to hold it back for a while longer.

Over the past year or so, Liu Cang couldn't hold back and got a few wild turtles to fight to the second level. His active age increased by three years. There is no change in this aspect for the time being.

But the so-called concept of enhancing the ability to breathe was understood by Liu Cangnao. Now he has a much better ability to hold his breath than ordinary people.

Likewise, it was these turtles that gave Liu Cang a lot of awe in this world.

His breeding ability is better than being stable and controllable, but he is not the only one with high-quality animals in this world.

It is also possible for such high-quality anomalies to be born in nature. Because Zhong Qian paid attention, he found a second-level quality turtle in the river last year.

Since there are such wild aliens, who knows what kind of weird people this world will breed. This is why Liu Cang is quite calm in front of the villagers.

This increase in breathing ability is not something you can just eat, it also requires special training. His cheeks turned red from suppressing it, and Liu Cang finally pulled a string of bamboo baskets to the surface of the water.

After dragging it to the shore, start organizing the fish, shrimp and crabs in these bamboo baskets into one bamboo basket.

The finger-long river shrimps are specially selected, and you can take them back and eat them yourself.

Crabs were also picked out, which were not rare to the villagers, but some people liked to eat them raw as snacks.

However, Liu Cang would not refuse boiled or steamed food, but he was not sensitive to eating raw river delicacies.

It took Liu Cang nearly half an hour to clean the bamboo basket. He crushed some half-sized fish and threw them into the bamboo basket. Liu Cang sank them to the bottom of the river again.

The heavy bamboo basket on his back and the hemp ropes for his clothes were still by the river. He would come back later to get pigweed. Liu Cang wanted to throw the fish and shrimp into his turtle pond first.

With his muscular upper body shirtless and his lower body wearing wet and close-fitting linen pants, Liu Cang returned to the village all the way.

At this time, there were already many people digging and weeding the fields on the roadside. The spring plowing had already passed, so it was not very busy.

Occasionally, when passing by the fields, a shrewish woman would tease him and ask for fish and shrimp, but she would usually be scolded by her own man.

Earlier, the villagers liked to take advantage of this kind of thing, but after seeing Liu Cang making such a trip for three to five days, they stopped asking for it.

If you are hunting for wild food, you can take it if you want it. But you can't just ask for something that someone has worked hard for.

Women who are scolded by men usually scold them back. Among the people, the status of women who can go to the ground is somewhat different from those of women who cannot.

However, if a man stares at her, they will usually stop talking back, and at the same time they will not pester Liu Cang again.

For some women who did not have men to scold them, Liu Cang would also give them some shrimps and crabs that he planned to eat.

This kind of women are often fierce, but Liu Cang is not afraid. After all, he is a boy who dares to touch the widow's house in the village when he is twelve or thirteen years old. Liu Cang acts like a gangster, and this kind of woman has to run away with dignity.

The main reason is that these women's family background is usually not very good, either there is no strong labor force in the family, or the men in the family do not work.

The adults in the village, especially the men with family affairs, did not dare to take care of them to avoid suspicion, but Liu Cang supported them unscrupulously.

All the way back to the village, after passing the west path, there is a pond.

The pond covers an area of ​​about five or six acres. The water surface is covered with a layer and a half of large lotus leaves, and a thin bamboo fence surrounds the pond.

Speaking of which, this pond was quite a headache for the village, and they even wanted to fill it in in the early years.

The water level in the pond is about one meter, but there is a running water outlet below it and there is also mud deposits. If playful children fall into the deep mud, they may easily be in danger.

The bamboo fence beside the pool is not to prevent thieves, it is purely a warning function.

Liu Cang was not about to pick lotus roots at the moment. He threw a lot of slates and stones into the pond. The people in the turtle village in the pond were not interested. Some people would throw the turtles back into the pond when they saw them.

And if a child dares to come near this place, he will usually receive a beating.

My legs were broken, my parents beat me.

There are two shallow wells beside the pond, where villagers usually pick vegetables and wash clothes.

The water flowing into the pond has no impact. Nowadays, laundry is either simply washed with water, or some starch rice washing water is used for starch washing.

Carrying a basket of fishy things on my back, I walked to a well. A piece of bluestone formed a step beside the well, and the lowest slope extended diagonally down into the pond.

"Dahang, couldn't you have come later? With just these two clothes, the airway is worse than if it had not been washed." Beside the bluestone, Liu Cang put down the bamboo basket, and a woman who was no less than thirty years old shouted to Liu Cang.

.

Next to this woman were two younger daughters-in-law from the village. They saw Liu Cang was shirtless and minding his own business, lowering his head and beating the clothes in his hands.

The women had very few clothes, so they probably took the time to wash them. Liu Cang glanced at the women and tilted the large basket of fish and shrimp onto the bluestone table.

"What kind of airway? No matter how pickled the airway is, you don't smell it often." Liu Cang said to the yelling woman while picking out the small fish and shrimps that were still alive and throwing them into the water.

"Hey, I'm not old, and I know a lot. Which mother-in-law taught you this?" The woman was stunned for a moment, then put down the clothes in her hands, pinched her waist and stood up, while the two women near her were rubbing their clothes faster.

point.

"Wash your clothes. Hurry to the fields to help. I'll tire out my eldest nephew later. If his waist slips, no one will teach him." After picking the fish and shrimp, Liu Cang piled the dead fish and shrimp on the shore.

On the bluestone.

Although the woman is older, Liu Cang is older than her, and Liu Cang's eldest nephew is the man in her family.

The woman casually picked up a piece of thick wood from the well and was about to smash it, but she threw it to Liu Cang.

"No one teaches me, I'll teach you!" The woman said with a strange voice as the thick wood was thrown.

"Tsk, tsk, I said you have developed this strength for a long time." Liu Cang raised his hand to catch the thick wood and deliberately shook his body.

"I'll go get a big eel and bring it to you later, so you don't have to make fun of my eldest nephew." In a strange tone, Liu Cang smashed the fish and shrimp on the bluestone with a piece of wood and washed them with water.

Entering the pond, the fishy smell immediately dissipated.

"Liu Daheng, you are seeking death. You dare to say anything, get out of here." he screamed.

One of the two women who had lowered her head to do laundry couldn't bear it any longer and even gave the middle-aged woman a hard look while yelling.

The daughter-in-law screamed and blushed, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and her arms trembled. She didn't know whether she was out of breath or timid.

Liu Cang and the middle-aged woman looked at each other, and both of them showed strange smiles on their faces, but they no longer had no limits on their words.

As Liu Cang rushed the fish pieces with bloody foam into the pond, the water in the pond churned. For a moment, a large number of turtles floated on the surface of the water, vying for food, causing a noise in the water.

The screaming daughter-in-law was pulled twice by the companion beside her. In the weak eyes of the companion, the woman gave Liu Cang a hard look again.

My little daughter-in-law, you can't mess with her raw melon and eggs. Liu Cang continued to smash the fish into pieces while curling his lips.
