The Ascending Dragon Elixir was also part of the process to cultivate the ‘Blackwater Dragon Spirit Weapon.’

After all, how could cultivating a Third Rank Dao Soldier be simple?

The first step was to select the Dao Soldier seeds through the ‘Blackwater Dragon Spell.’

Afterwards, the seeds had to be constantly nurtured with various elixirs and techniques such as ‘Spirit Nurturing Elixir,’ ‘Wisdom-Opening Elixir,’ ‘Ascending Dragon Elixir,’ ‘Spiritual Light Method,’ ‘Blackwater Method,’ and ‘Nine Transformations Method,’ a total of nine pills and twelve methods were used, before one could finally be promoted to a ‘Blackwater Dragon Spirit Weapon.’

This process was somewhat similar to cultivating Spiritual Beasts.

But compared to Beast Taming, this cultivation of Dao Soldiers was obviously more profound.

This was also why small family forces had no Dao Soldiers.

Not to mention whether they had the methods to cultivate Dao Soldiers, just the various expenses involved in the process were more than ordinary forces could afford.

“Although this Red Blood Carp cannot be used to cultivate a Dao Soldier, refining a strand of Dragon Blood Essence from it is still quite good.”

“In the future, if Dragon Blood Essence is needed to refine the ‘Ascending Dragon Elixir,’ one could extract it by refining Red Blood Carp.”

Lu Changsheng took a porcelain bottle out of his Storage Bag and stored away the strand of Dragon Blood Essence.

Though this strand of Dragon Blood Essence was minuscule and trivial, even a mosquito’s worth of meat was still meat.

“However, if the Red Blood Carp can refine Dragon Blood Essence, then perhaps the Red Blood Fish King might be able to endure the Blackwater Dragon Spell.”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he muttered to himself.

This Red Blood Carp was just an ordinary First Grade spirit fish.

Whereas as a Second Rank spirit fish, there was a not-so-small chance that the Fish King could integrate with the Blackwater Dragon Spell.

No sooner said than done, Lu Changsheng went to the fish cultivation area and inquired with Zhong Yu whether there was a Fish King in the fishery.

“Mountain Lord, there are currently one Red Blood Fish King and one Bi Shui Fish King in the entire fishery,”

Zhong Yu voiced aloud.

She naturally wouldn’t keep a detailed count of ordinary carp.

But Fish Kings were not only highly valuable, they also aided in the ecological growth of other carps.

Therefore, after being appointed as the fishery manager, she had cultivated two Fish Kings at the first opportunity.

“Will using one have any impact?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

“Not really, but it will take some time to cultivate a new King, and the cultivation costs will be relatively higher,”

Zhong Yu hesitated for a moment before saying.

“Alright, fish up the Bi Shui Fish King for me,”

Lu Changsheng said, nodding at the response.

He knew that there would indeed be some impact, but he couldn’t resist the urge to experiment right now.

“Yes, Mountain Lord,”

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yu didn’t say much more and went to look for the Bi Shui Fish King in the fishery.

As the bait was scattered, the surface of the lake rippled and shimmered, and countless carps converged.

But soon, the water churned and the other fish dispersed, and a gigantic Bi Shui Fish King over a meter long emerged to eat the bait.

“Take action!”

Zhong Yu shouted to the other fishermen.

Immediately, several fishermen threw out their large nets, attempting to catch the Red Blood Fish King.

But the Red Blood Fish King, already possessing a certain level of intelligence, saw the fishing net and immediately flicked its tail, diving into the lake in an attempt to escape.

Seeing this, the other fishermen hurriedly cast their techniques to try to stop the spiritual fish.

Lu Changsheng watched this scene, chuckled lightly, and mana surged from his hand with a wave.

A mana-filled hand reached down and directly captured the Red Blood Fish King in the lake.

“Not bad, there might really be a chance to refine it into a Dao Soldier.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Red Blood Fish King before him, chuckled lightly, and flew towards Changsheng Hall.

All the cultivators and fishermen in the fish farm watched this scene with eyes full of reverence and respect.

Upon reaching Changsheng Hall, the Red Blood Fish King still struggled continuously, its eyes filled with fear towards Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng did not pay much attention, placed his hand on the fish king, and cast the “Blackwater Dragon Spell” into its body.

“Hiss hiss hiss—”

At that moment, the Red Blood Fish King emitted a painful hiss, struggle surged, its heart thumped loudly, and a faint black luster flickered on its scales.

“It seems there’s quite a bit of hope.”

Lu Changsheng, seeing this, revealed a slight smile on his face.

Observing the Red Blood Fish King with the “Blackwater Dragon Spell” surging through it, becoming increasingly emaciated and the black qi flowing, Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and flicked a strand of Dragon Blood Essence he had just harvested towards the Red Blood Fish King.

He then took out a Spirit Nurturing Elixir, crushed it into powder, and mixed it with Spiritual Liquid to pour into the mouth of the Red Blood Fish King.

Since there was hope of success, he was naturally willing to lend a hand.

As time passed, the body of this Red Blood Carp became more emaciated, its form much longer, resembling more the body type of a catfish or an eel.

“Boom!”

After a long time, the Red Blood Fish King suddenly let out a high-pitched hiss; its heart merged with the Blackwater Dragon Spell, demonic energy surged around its body, pulling at the Spiritual Energy.

At this moment, its scales had almost completely turned from azure to a dark black color, growing two long catfish whiskers, with the teeth in its jaws becoming significantly sharper.

“It’s done!”

Lu Changsheng, seeing this, revealed joy in his eyes.

The Red Blood Fish King before him had been tempered by the “Blackwater Dragon Spell” and transformed into a ‘Blackwater Dragon Fish Spirit Weapon’.

Its strength was still quite weak, roughly equivalent to a First Grade Middle Stage Demon Beast.

But to transform from a spiritual fish into a First Grade Middle Stage Demon Beast was a significant upgrade.

“It seems that this Red Blood Fish King did have some difficulty in fusing with the ‘Blackwater Dragon Spell.’ If I want to cultivate it, I should try to use a better breed of dragon-kind aquatic creatures.”

“I wonder what the effect would be of the dragon carps in Bi Shui Lake that appear once every ten years.”

Lu Changsheng checked the condition of the Blackwater Dragon Fish.

It was evident that although it had merged with the Blackwater Dragon Spell, it was still somewhat forced.
