The Fish Demon's Value
The giant black fish was filled with resentment!
The Bloodthirsty Spear in his head and the nearly three-zhang-long wound on his body meant he had no chance of turning the tide.
Consciousness gradually faded, and the massive body began to sink into the water.
Whoosh!
Qin Yan grabbed the broken iron chain and quickly dragged the giant black fish to the shore.
Its enormous body was already nearly 53 feet tall!
It's quite impressive up close.
It was probably the largest creature he had ever encountered since he came into this world.

Pfft!
Qin Yan gripped the Bloodthirsty Spear and pulled it out with considerable effort.
Now, the Bloodthirsty Spear is radiating a red light, having absorbed a large amount of the black giant fish's blood and energy.
It gave him a strange and powerful feeling, with streams of energy flowing back to him.
However, Qin Yan rejected this power; the Bloodthirsty Spear was extremely malevolent.
Who knows what will happen after absorbing this power?
"Master Qin, you killed this water monster!"
When Feng Constable and the others arrived, they saw the enormous fish and looked at Qin Yan with surprise and admiration.
"Qin Yan is mighty!"
The crowd watched as Qin Yan slew the giant fish, their faces filled with admiration.
They had never seen such a huge monster in their lives.
"Take this thing back!"
Qin Yan looked at Qin Xiaoyi and the others in the crowd; this giant fish was a valuable item.
Its scales are harder than ordinary refined iron.
It's an excellent material for making both armor and shields.
This time, the water monster was slain.
Qin Yan's reputation in the entire Qinghe Town instantly soared to its peak, especially when they saw his enormous size; his name was deeply imprinted in their minds.
It took a procession of dozens of oxen and horses to drag this enormous creature around the upstream street of the Qinghe River.
"That's incredible."
Wen Qinsi stared blankly at the enormous fish, never expecting that there would be such a powerful monster in the Cypress Water River.
What surprised him even more was that Qin Yan actually killed this guy himself.
Although he possessed a treasure bestowed by a powerful figure from the Third Realm, his courage to stand up and resist was truly admirable.
"Qin Yan is truly remarkable!"
Upon seeing this outstanding young man, who amazed even Wen Qinsi, he became even more eager to recruit him into his camp.
"Lord Wen, such a huge demon must have an inner core inside its body."
This is a rare treasure.
The butler spoke in a deep voice, his tone filled with expectation.
"This item has probably already been obtained by Qin Yan; getting him to hand it over won't be so easy."
Wen Qinsi sighed, "You should know that there is a very important person from the Demon-Suppressing Bureau behind them."
If he could refine it into a pill, perhaps he could break General Qin's record!
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, the butler couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"Brothers, cut this meat up, and keep the scales and all that safe!"
At this moment, Qin Yan was in a great mood.
Qin Xiaoyi, Qin An, and the others were naturally extremely busy, as those scales were not easy to cut.
"Boss, Manager Lu from Rising Cloud Medicine Shop has arrived, along with other influential figures from the town."
They said they wanted to buy some fish demon meat.
Song Bao whispered in Qin Yan's ear.
"Um!"
Qin Yan nodded. "I understand. Go and make the arrangements. Tell them to wait."
Just call Manager Lu over!
Soon, Lu Yunqing brought a young girl to Qin Yan.
"Lord Qin, it's been a long time."
Lu Yunqing greeted him warmly.
The young woman beside her also gave a slight bow. "This humble woman, Lu Wanqiu, greets Lord Qin."
"You two don't need to be so polite; we're old acquaintances."
Qin Yan smiled and said, "I presume you two have come for the fish demon?"
"You're right, sir. We came here precisely for this fish demon."
Lu Yunqing said with a serious expression, his heart filled with admiration and awe for the young man Qin Yan.
The other party's growth is truly inspiring, but their methods were a bit ruthless.
But it was precisely because of this that he felt awe and dared not act rashly in the slightest.
"Lord Qin, our Rising Cloud Medicine Shop wishes to purchase the inner core of the fish demon, as well as some fish meat and bones!"
Upon hearing this!
Qin Yan shook his head. "It's impossible for me to sell you the inner core."
Fish bones and fish meat are fine.
"Just as I expected!" Lu Yunqing sighed inwardly.
"Lord Qin, we are sincerely seeking to purchase the fish demon's inner core. We will do everything in our power to meet your price."
Lu Wanqiu's expression was sincere, and she seemed determined to win.
"I don't need to elaborate on the preciousness of this inner elixir; you should all understand."
This cannot be measured in money.
Let's talk about something more practical.
"This...!"
Lu Wanqiu wanted to say something more, but Lu Yunqing stopped her.
The latter shook her head, signaling Lu Wanqiu to stop talking!
"Manager Lu, the reason I called you here first is to have you examine the flesh of this fish demon and see if there are any problems if people eat it?"
Qin Yan steered the conversation back to the main topic.
Fish eat people, and people eat fish.
In her eyes, it didn't matter.
The main concern is whether there are other things hidden in the fish meat, since this thing can attract Sha Qi into the body.
There is a fear that the fish meat itself may contain a potent poison.
Speaking of this matter...
Lu Yunqing and the other person immediately perked up.
We are willing to serve in this matter!
They naturally wanted the inner core, but if they couldn't get the fish meat, the fish bones were their real target.
Not everything in this world is edible.
As a family with a long history in medicine, Lu Yunqing and his companion were the most suitable candidates for the test.
After a series of careful tests.
"Lord Qin, the fish demon's flesh contains no toxins and is rich in vital energy, making it a highly nourishing food that is extremely beneficial for cultivation."
Lu Wanqiu reported the facts after completing the examination.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be a waste to spend so much money to get this fish demon if we couldn't eat it.
It was only then that Qin Yan realized that Lu Wanqiu's strength was definitely not weak.
He has probably already reached the Marrow-Washing Realm.
His Martial Dao arts talent is quite remarkable.
She was only surprised for a moment before returning to normal.
After some discussion, the fish demon's meat was finally priced at ten taels per catty, mainly because the Bloodthirsty Spear had absorbed too much of its blood essence.
Its intrinsic value has been discounted.
However, this item is rare, and its actual value is far lower than its listed price!
He didn't care about any of that; he wanted to buy the fish demon's flesh, and he wouldn't haggle over ten taels of silver.
Fish bones are slightly cheaper, two taels of silver per pound.
The entire fish weighed over 20,000 jin (approximately 10,000 kg).
"Boss, there's a very tough tendon inside the fish bone; we can't pull it out."
Song Bao came to Qin Yan's side again.
His words immediately caught Qin Yan's eye; he had long wanted to make a precious bow.
But well, there are very few that can be used as bowstrings.
I wonder if the fish demon's tendons are up to standard?
The group arrived at the dissection site, where pieces of bright red fish meat were being cut off.
At the break in the fishbone, a translucent tendon was exposed.
Upon observing such a massive behemoth up close, Lu Yunqing and his companion were stunned and deeply shaken.
Sizzle!
Qin Yan used his powerful abilities to remove the entire fish tendon, which was about 21 feet long.
"We need to find someone to make the bowstring!"
Qin Yan thought to himself.
After processing, the fish demon has a meat yield of about 30%, fish bones account for 40%, and the rest are scales and internal organs!
