Chapter 113

They slowly made their way back along the river.

Telingewei watched their retreating figures and said, "Do you want to eat the White Bird and the Erteme Demonic Beast? I'll go catch them?"

"Um?"

Let's celebrate.

Having ordered frames from the Dwarf, Xie Juanhan sent a message to the Weaving Fairies, indicating that the strength of the fishing net material could be slightly reduced.

That's enough.

At worst, they can patrol more frequently and replace staff more often.

That day, the Weaving Fairies sent a little messenger bird to deliver a message to them, saying that they had found materials to make fishing nets and asked them to come and take a look.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei rushed to the Weaving Fairies' side.

"Hey ya, hey ya--"

The Weaving Fairies were working busily and enthusiastically.

Xie Juanhan spotted several familiar figures beneath the massive textile rack. "Peryton?"

Several Peryton were standing under the textile rack.

The Weaving Fairies, carrying razors, flew around them, shaving off their thick, soft fur.

Xie Juanhan looked at the ground, where there was a pile of hair.

Nearby were several Peryton whose fur had been shaved off, and they seemed to be cold, so Weaving Fairies carried large felt blankets and placed them on their backs.

Upon hearing Xie Juanhan's voice, the Peryton looked up and greeted him listlessly, "Awooo."

Xie Juanhan asked, "What is this?"

The Weaving Fairies Luli replied cheerfully, "The Peryton are shedding their fur; we ordered their winter coarse wool and they're shearing them now."

Peryton: "Awooo!"

That means it's like that.

Xie Juanhan: "Shouldn't I have shaved it a while ago?"

Luli explained, "It's been colder this year, and it would be uncomfortable for Peryton to shave too early, so we're shaving now."

Luli: "Come and take a look. Is the fur of the Peryton strong enough? If it is, we'll use this fur, weave it with the skin of magical vines, and make a fishing net."

Xie Juanhan knew that the Weaving Fairies had the habit of extracting fibers from magical vines.

He and Telingewei went over to take a look.

Luli held out a large handful of Peryton wool to show them. "Peryton often swim on the sea, and their wool doesn't become brittle even when it gets wet with seawater, so it should be good for making fishing nets."

Xie Juanhan examined it carefully. "We can give it a try. What did you use the fur of the Peryton for before?"

"Carpets!" Luli grinned, revealing tiny, rice-grain-sized teeth. "Their wool is spun into yarn and made into beautiful carpets, which are very popular with human merchants."

"Won't it be very expensive?"

"Ten gold coins each, and they always sell out in one go!"

"In that case, you'll be losing out by weaving Peryton's wool into fishing nets and only charging us fifteen gold coins."

"No, not really. For each Peryton hair, we'll give you one gold coin. Ten Peryton hairs will be enough, plus five gold coins as a labor fee."

"That's still too cheap," Xie Juanhan chuckled. "I'll keep twenty gold coins for you, and you can return eighty gold coins."

Today, besides looking at Peryton's wool with Xie Juanhan and Telingewei, the Weaving Fairies also said they wanted to refund their deposits.

The Weaving Fairies, who had originally agreed to accept one hundred gold coins, said that they would only accept fifteen gold coins for the finished product.

Xie Juanhan offered to pay more gold coins.

The Weaving Fairies stared at him with their mouths agape, while Weaving Fairies turned to look at Telingewei.

Telingewei said gently, "Take it."

After realizing what had happened, the Weaving Fairies exclaimed with delight, "Thank you, Lord Silver Dragon! Thank you, Lord Giant Dragon!"

Xie Juanhan: "You're welcome, you've worked hard."

The Peryton nearby heard it.

Peryton, whose hair had been shaved down to just short downy hair, came over and tried to rub against Xie Juanhan.

Telingewei stared at them.

Faced with the dragon's threatening gaze, they had no choice but to stop more than two meters away, croaking in a low voice, "Yo-yo."

Xie Juanhan waved his hand. "Don't come any closer, you're going to get hurt."

Peryton: "Awooo?"

Xie Juanhan: "We don't need your help, we can carry the materials ourselves."

Peryton: "Yo-ho!"

Xie Juanhan sneered, "What do you mean you can carry Harper and the others? Nibote can carry them. Are you all so eager to be hired?"

The Peryton immediately opened their big, deer-like eyes and nodded vigorously.

Xie Juanhan thought for a moment, "Do you still have any down feathers? How about we exchange some?"

The down feathers from Peryton's products are indeed very useful after being processed.

Xie Juanhan made a double quilt last winter, and spent a warm winter with it.

We can collect some more this year to make winter nests for Harper and the others.

The Peryton had no Xie Juanhan was exchanging down feathers with them to build a nest for their mortal enemies, and upon hearing this, they nodded vigorously. "Yo!"

Xie Juanhan chuckled, "Then how about we exchange some down feathers? We can use gold coins or Star Berry."

Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, the Peryton's eyes lit up with surprise. "Wow!"

-Star Berry!

Chapter 113 [VIP]

"The Star Berry have gotten quite a bit bigger lately!"

Xie Juanhan stood in the Star Berry field with a basket on his back, squatted down, and placed the back of his hand behind the Star Berry as a backdrop.

"Look, it was only half the size of the back of my hand before, but now it's almost the size of the back of my hand."

The bright orange Star Berry and dark green leaves create a striking contrast.

As Xie Juanhan picked the Star Berry, the Star Berry looked even more like fine gemstones against his fair skin.

Very beautiful.

Telingewei's gaze fell on the back of his hand.

Xie Juanhan received no response and looked up at him.

Noticing his gaze, she smiled, picked two Star Berry, tossed one to him, and tasted one herself.

This batch of Star Berry had a more intense flavor. Xie Juanhan bit down hard, breaking the outer skin, and the juice inside flowed out, filling his mouth with fragrance.

It's not nearly as thin as regular fruit juice; instead, it has a thick, silky, and delicate texture.

Xie Juanhan estimated that if it continued to be planted like this, it wouldn't be long before it became a level three magical plant.

The premise is that they can continue planting according to this specification.

After finishing the berries, Xie Juanhan collected the seeds and said regretfully, "It's a pity there are so few Elemental Crystal."

Telingewei: "After we've finished casting our nets, we'll go check out the Inner Land."

Xie Juanhan: "And while you're at it, grab some Spicy Clam too."

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei quickly picked the berries and traded them for a batch of down feathers with the Peryton.

They gave some of the remaining berries to their friends, ate some themselves, and kept the rest to make wine.

After this period of accumulation, they have brewed four vats of Star Berry Wine.

At this rate of accumulation, they might have to consider preparing a dedicated wine cellar.

A few days later, the Weaving Fairies rode deer to deliver a message to Xie Juanhan and his companions, saying that the fishing nets were ready.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei went over to take a look.

The three fishing nets spun by the Weaving Fairies were all flat and sturdy, only differing in the size of their meshes.

Xie Juanhan and his team first needed to install the densest net in the sea.

Once the fry of the One-Bone Fish hatch and have been raised for a period of time, and it is confirmed that they cannot escape the mesh of the net, they can be released into the sea for aquaculture.

Later, you can change the netting for them depending on their size.

Xie Juanhan specially asked the Weaving Fairies to weave nets of varying fineness, mainly to allow marine creatures to enter the aquaculture area and make it easier for the One-Bone Fish to forage for food independently.

If the finest net is used continuously, the One-Bone Fish won't be able to escape, but other creatures won't be able to get in either.

If they rely entirely on feeding them, the quality of the One-Bone Fish will definitely decline.

By changing the netting according to the size of the One-Bone Fish, a semi-free-range state can be achieved, and the quality of the fish raised will be better.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei worked for several days with the little ones, carrying metal frames from the Dwarf and tying fishing nets to them.

The Tata Fish knew that Xie Juanhan and his friends were going to raise One-Bone Fish, so they swam over to see them and even watched them work.

"Click-clack."

The Tata Fish swam around in the sea like little shadows.

"They're getting in the way," Xie Juanhan gently, nudging a few Tata Fish that were circling around him.

The Tata Fish retreated a little. "Click-clack."

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei continued their dive into the sea.

Today, they are going to plant seaweed on the seabed.

Aquatic plants are those transplanted from the Inner Land.

They had previously planted some in the sea.

The seaweed that had adapted to the marine environment grew very lushly, so they transplanted some of it and planted it on the seabed.

The roots of aquatic plants are buried in the silt on the seabed, but their leaves can break through the mesh.

Then the One-Bone Fish can eat the leaves of the aquatic plants.

As omnivorous fish, they should really like these aquatic plants.

After planting the aquatic plants, Xie Juanhan floated to the surface of the sea, filled with a sense of accomplishment.

They hung vines on the sea surface, which were covered with Demonic Oyster of all sizes.

They laid out a large net covering more than an acre in water five or six meters deep, where the One-Bone Fish will be raised.

The aquatic plants they just planted are adapting very well, and it won't be long before they cover the entire seabed.

This area is where ocean currents converge, resulting in relatively rapid currents, high dissolved oxygen levels, and abundant nutrients.

They cultivate and raise livestock here, creating a unique integrated agricultural system.

Okay, let's check back in a while.

Xie Juanhan turned around and saw the Tata Fish gathered around. He smiled and said, "It's rare to see them, shall we exchange some fish milk?"
