Lin Yuan had seen these three fish at the edge of the pool in the depths of the Endless Forest and felt that they were rather familiar, so he had subconsciously used True Data to check them. If he had not done so, he would not have brought them back.
The three fish looked gray and were only half a finger long, so they were simply not conspicuous in the water. But thanks to True Data, Lin Yuan found out that they were actually the legendary Myriad Form Carps.
He was familiar with them, as there were many of them in the pond in the center of the garden outside the Radiant Moon Palace. However, those fish were not ordinary Myriad Form Carps, but a famous koi-species of the Myriad Form Carps’ evolution.
As the name implied, the Myriad Form Carp was a kind of carp that could evolve into different kinds of koi under the catalysis of various spiritual ingredients and spirit qi.
Koi was auspicious because it was always linked to good luck. Therefore, the Radiance Federation would also regard koi as the most inferior auspicious feys. Only ordinary koi feys were considered as inferior auspicious feys. However, this was not the case with the evolved koi in the pond in the center of the garden outside the Radiant Moon Palace.
The Pine Snow Fallen Cherry Koi, the Golden Mountain Blowing Koi, and the Nine-Patterned Dragon Koi were the finest among the koi. Each of them was extremely complex and different in the way spiritual ingredients and spirit qi catalyzed them. The spiritual ingredients used might even be hard to find.
Take the Pine Snow Fallen Cherry Koi as an example. Its body was red and white, and the gap between the colors was not that big. Rather, it was just like a cherry blossom rain on the white snowy ground.
The cherry blossom rain on the fish carried a gradation of aesthetics, as though some cherry blossoms had been buried deep in the white snow, some had fallen on the snow surface, while some were still dancing in the cold snow, unwilling to fall.
In addition, the Pine Snow Fallen Cherry Koi’s red-and-white body had a light pattern of pine needles, which was very beautiful. In the water, it was also like, ‘the pine needles blending with the cold snow, and the fallen cherry blossoms and snow are suddenly warm.’ It was as though a sudden warm cherry blossom rain had bloomed in the water’s extreme coldness.
Since ancient times, people had been debating about what were auspicious signs and had different definitions on them. Plums, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums were elegant and not considered auspicious.
The osmanthus’ fragrance contained a touch of nobility, and it could be used as an antidote. Therefore, after the Spirit Qi Awakening, it was reasonable for the osmanthus to be treated as an inferior auspicious thing.
But with the evolution of living things containing spirit qi, many rare and exotic alien beasts, such as dragon-like snakes, phoenix-like birds, cranes, and turtles, were not truly auspicious. Thus, people were now having more and more debates about auspiciousness, with increasingly harsh judgment on it.
Because of this, auspicious creatures were also becoming more and more precious. However, one part of the definition of true auspiciousness that had not changed since ancient times was that those being born as auspicious could protect other living things.
This Dragon-Phoenix Landscape Carp’s exclusive skill could protect the living things and set the meaning of landscape beauty.
Since Lin Yuan had only enhanced the three fish swimming freely in the pond to Bronze X/Epic, the Place of Life could not show much power. If the Dragon-Phoenix Landscape Carps were raised in Lin Yuan’s manor, they could ensure that the grass, trees, river, and pond within three kilometers outside the manor would be under their exclusive skill.
The air in Redbud City was dryer and not humid, unlike the air in Redbud City, so it was not suitable for bamboo feys’ growth, which was a type of fey that loved the humidity.
If Wen Yu had not buried 250,000 kilograms of high-grade energy ores in the 3,000-meter bamboo forest behind the manor, the bamboo leaves would have long dropped due to the dry air.
Due to Place of Life, the manor would remain lush and verdant even in midwinter, and the man-made lake would not freeze and would still be surging.
At that moment, a Dragon-Phoenix Landscape Carp suddenly jumped out of the water. Its sudden posture was like the flood dragon coming out of the water and the phoenix breaking through the clouds.
As Lin Yuan looked at it suddenly leaping out of the water, he felt that the moment it did that, a part of its details changed suddenly.
The corner of the outlined mountains and rivers turned into a rustling river. When he looked at the change, he suddenly felt amazed.
