Chapter 190 Cultivating the Ghost Moon Incense

Chapter 190 Cultivating the Ghost Moon Incense

In the afternoon on the second day, Chen Fan crawled up from his bed lazily. He was prepared to purchase the expensive medicinal herbs in bulk today. He figured that the ghost moon incense would probably be completely dried in about three more days.

After Chen Fan had experimented with Ginseng, wolfberries, Lingzhi mushrooms and caterpillar fungus, he figured that Ginseng was the most effective in enhancing the growth of the Tai Sui, followed by the caterpillar fungus and the wolfberry, which was the weakest among the medicinal herbs. According to the dosage calculations, the Ginseng was approximately 13 times more effective than the wolfberries. Although the wolfberries had a more reasonable price, Chen Fan did not intend to trouble himself any further, just for the sake of saving a few bucks.

He ordered Yu Lin and Yiteng Yun to head separately to Liaoning Province and Jilin Province, instructing them to confirm the orders at the Ginseng cultivation farm. Chen Fan also called Wang Bin and ordered him to make a trip to the agricultural machinery market to purchase two large-scaled flour grinders.

Three days later, inside the dock by the sea...

All 20 of the ghost moon incense had been completely oven-dried. The smallest one was merely the size of a fist. However, it had the strongest scent and the most dazzling colors. The rest of the 19 ghost moon incense did not have a consistent size, but the largest one was slightly smaller than a football.

After leaving them on top of a metal plate, Chen Fan used a tiny hammer to knock them into pieces, then threw them into the Chinese medicine grinder. Finally, he managed to obtain about 47 units of powder.

He took out one unit of the powder and poured it into a glass tank. He then stirred the milky solution evenly. Chen Fan took a deep breath, then gently placed the Tai Sui into the solution.

He could hardly see the Tai Sui through the milky-brown solution. Chen Fan felt like a young man, who was waiting for his wife to give birth, sitting all alone in the corridor of the delivery room. He looked worried. As he crossed his legs, his gaze was fixated on the glass tank.

Logically speaking, the nutritional components of the ghost moon incense were absolutely comparable to the Great Healing Pill, as one piece of the former was enough to further increase the electric eel’s strength and voltage to another notch.

After the Tai Sui had absorbed its nutrients, wouldn’t it increase tremendously in size?

However, who could guarantee the final results? What if more than ten units of ghost moon incense were barely enough for the Tai Sui to become fully-grown? My dreams to quickly strengthen the electric eel would then be completely busted!

Time is a funny thing. In fact, it’s almost a nuisance. Sometimes, it sweeps past our eyes, as if it is riding on a clockwork spring. Sometimes, it is as slow as a snail, which has been injected by muscle relaxers! As such, time drives everyone crazy.

After two hours, the broad bean-sized Tai Sui had transformed into the size of a peanut. However, there were no changes to the ghost moon incense powder.

After five hours, the peanut-sized Tai Sui turned into the size of a kumquat. The ghost moon incense powder still had no obvious changes.

After sleeping for a while, the kumquat-sized Tai Sui became the size of a porcelain bowl. The color of the ghost moon incense had slightly faded.

After two days, the Tai Sui was the size of a basketball. In the process, Chen Fan had used up six units of ghost moon incense powder.

In total, 47 units of powder could cultivate seven Tai Sui. Chen Fan used the Kun Wu dagger to carve out six broad bean-sized tissues from the Tai Sui. He then used the ghost moon incense powder to cultivate them together.

After three days, Chen Fan placed seven of the brownish-white Tai Suis inside a glass tank. He then sprinkled 200 units of Ginseng powder into the tank.

Just as predicted, the seven Tai Suis had completely inherited the attributes of the ghost moon incense. As long as the smell reached Chen Fan’s nose, the electric eel would be itching for some action.

The 200 units of Ginseng powder had been completely used up by the seven Tai Suis in the span of 30 hours. Chen Fan, who had been abstaining for several days, could no longer resist the temptation. After using the Kun Wu dagger to carve out several cigarette box-sized tissues, he directly threw them into the electric eel’s mouth.

"This is so satisfying!"

This was the sensation that could be felt by the electric eel. Such satisfaction was indeed indescribable. It was absolutely pleasurable, to the point where the electric eel would lie down in the water and refuse to even open its eyes!

As Chen Fan figured it, seven pieces of cigarette box-sized tissues would be equal to seven pieces of ghost moon incense. After merely half an hour, the electric eel’s body was completely weak and numb. It felt as if the air was filled with a sweet scent.

"Hey, Brother Chen, even if you’re free to fish for sharks, you don’t have to use such a huge titanium alloy hook, right?" At an open space not far from the dock, Zhang Xueyang pointed at the silver fish hook. His expression seemed to say, "Is there something wrong with your brain?"

After testing out the weight of the fish hook, which had the thickness of an arm, Chen Fan rolled his eyes at him. "It is no longer challenging to fish for sharks. I want to navigate a container ship to the Arctic Ocean and fish for a whale!"

"Er..." Zhang Xueyang’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. He stared at him with a gaze, shocked. "Brother Chen, when the time comes, bring me along. I’m curious to see you be dragged into the water by the whale!"

"Oh! How thoughtful of you!" Chen Fan squinted his eyes and smirked, "When the time comes, it’ll be great fun to use you as bait!"

"Stop talking rubbish. It is possible to fish for a whale with such a huge hook. However, when the time comes, be ready to face the marine conservationists!" Zhang Xue Yang sat on the bonnet of the car and lit up a cigarette.

Hong Long Long... Hong Long Long...

At that very moment, the engines of a Dongfeng Cummins roared, as the vehicle stopped in front of them. A middle-aged man, who wore a blue uniform, hopped out of the car. He ran to Chen Fan, saying, "Boss, I have sent the rope over as requested."

"Oh my god, you’re not crazy enough to go fish for a whale, right?" Zhang Xueyang stared at the wire ropes, which had thickness of an arm, which were laying in the boot of the car. He then looked at Chen Fan, his face crumpled in confusion.

After three hours, in the cave right underneath the reefs, the electric eel dragged along a longspear and swam toward the cliff at full speed. A 500 meter wire rope could be seen hanging from the spearhead of the longspear.

He was prepared to use the freshly cultivated Tai Sui to attract the giant white python. Then, once it took the bait, he would electrocute it to death.

Armed with a titanium alloy hook and a wire rope with the thickness of an arm, coupled with a longspear, which was half a meter long, Chen Fan believed that no matter how hard the giant python struggled, it would never be able to escape him.

The electric eel lay flat under the cliff. It placed the fish hook a meter away from the surface of the water to prevent other fishes from eating it. It looked like a fisherman, who was waiting for a giant python to take the bait.

The electric eel could not see anything clearly from the surface of the dark murky water. After five minutes of waiting, the electric eel realized that ripples were beginning to form at the bottom of the fish hook.

"The fellow is here!" After licking its chapped lips, the electric eel was 100 percent focused on the fish hook.

After a short moment, a white silhouette was reflected on the surface of the dark water. THe silhouette then swam around like a spirit. With a soft bang, it spit out its pink tongue, which then wrapped itself on the hook.

"Er..." The electric eel could not believe its eyes. It had actually snatched the Tai Sui away from the hook!

"Howl!" The giant python, whose head was mottled with a huge wound, appeared near the hook. It howled loudly at the electric eel. Its pink tongue started vibrating violently in the air.

"You simpleton!" Without saying another word, Chen Fan controlled the electric eel and made it leave. This time, he would use steel wires directly to tie it up. He was curious as to whether the giant python would be able to devour the Tai Sui again.

When the electric eel returned to the dock, Chen Fan painstakingly cut out another piece of tissue from the Tai Sui. After he found a piece of steel wire, he wrung it on the fish hook with a pair of pliers.

One should never underestimate the powers of these cigarette box-sized tissues. Previously, when Chen Fan had sliced off seven pieces of them to feed the electric eel, he had used almost 800 units of Ginseng powder to heal the wound of the Tai Sui.

After the electric eel had eaten the seven pieces of Tai Sui, its voltage immediately boosted up to 45,000 kilovolts. Also, its speed increased up to 200 knots. The venom that it spit out was extra dense as well, unlike before, when the venom could not even poison a shark to death.

One thing that left Chen Fan with regrets was that the electric eel did not shed its skin ever again. He reckoned that this was due to the small measures of nutritional components it had in its system. Thus, he was prepared to use a great amount of Ginseng to cultivate the Tai Sui for more than ten days, in order to allow its nutritional effects to rise to another level. He hoped that then he could obtain another chance for the electric eel to shed its skin.

After preparing the bait, the electric eel swam to the cave, then placed the hook under the cliff. It took a bit longer time this time. After waiting for half an hour, the dark waters started to ripple again. He believed that the giant white python hid away to enjoy the pleasures that were brought about by the Tai Sui.

"Bang!"

The same technique was used again. The giant white python’s pink tongue moved as quick as lightning. Before Chen Fan could react to it, it immediately licked the fish hook twice.

The tissues of the Tai Sui were rather tough, and it was tied on with steel wires. Thus, blood stains could be seen on the tongue of the white giant python, after it was scraped by the metal wires. It did not manage to devour the Tai Sui at all.

"All it had to to was to take a bite of it. Why must it use such a complicated method?" The electric eel, which was hiding near the cliff, felt as if its heart was pounding out of its chest.

"Howl!" While Chen Fan was still in a daze, the giant python’s head suddenly emerged from the water. Its scarlet red mouth was wide open. After biting the hook, it immediately disappeared into the water. The wire ropes, which were entwined on the longspear, tensed up immediately.

The energy of the giant python was indescribable. The electric eel’s claws struggled to hold themselves against the mica stones underneath its feet. It then tensed up its muscles and discharged up to 45,000 volts of voltage. The electric current was then transmitted through the metal fishing equipment to the body of the giant python.

"Howl!" The giant python, who was in severe pain, jumped out of the water. Its tail crashed right next to the electric eel’s legs, shattering the rocks on the cliff.

At that exact moment, Chen Fan could clearly see that the fish hook had pierced through its left cheek. The tissues around it were charred in the blink of an eye.

"Ah!" The electric eel opened its eyes wide. The muscles of its foreclaw, which was grabbing onto the longspear, started to expand. It insisted on bending the longspear as well.

The python and the eel battled against each other. Both of them let out an earth-shattering scream, which greatly frightened the suchosaurus, which were in the lake nearby. They shivered in fear.

However, in less than three seconds, the electric eel realized that the force on the longspear had suddenly weakened. It then tripped over itself as it was reversing, due to its momentum. It then started tumbling backwards.

After pulling up the wire rope from the cliff, Chen Fan realized that the fish hook had completely carved the python’s cheek out. Charred scales, which were about the size of a basin, and fragments of meat particles could be seen. Green smoke spiralled upward from them.

Near the shore, Chen Fan discovered that the giant python had disappeared without a trace. The pool of blood on the surface of the water proved that it had been struggling violently before.

One could only blame the fish hook for being badly positioned. If it had been hooked onto its jaw, it would surely be dead by now!

"Why must you force me to unleash my most effective tactics to kill you?" Chen Fan was frustrated for a short while. He was not part of any animal conservation organizations. Thus, he would have shown no sign of guilts, were he to kill the giant python.
