Chapter 231: 174 Ultimate Evolution: 10 Longevity Carp!_3
The falling cherry petals were mesmerizing, creating a breathtaking cherry blossom rain underwater.
A beautiful fish creature, with a body about half a meter long, seven fins equal in length to its body, and a tail twice the length of its body, was swaying in the water.
Its body was a cold snow white, with many faint pine patterns present where its scales grow.
This added an ancient depth to the color of the scales.
The base color of the fin tail, unlike the coldness of the body, was a textured pearl white.
The color of the fish’s fins gradually transitioned from white to tender pink at the tip of the tail.
The fine pink cherry blossom patterns on the fish’s body echoed the pink tail.
Every swing of its fin and tail changed the fall of the underwater cherry blossom rain.
Fang Mu was certain that the most beautiful koi he had seen and studied in his previous life could not compare to the Sakura Tempering Carp, not even a mere one percent.
Before Fang Mu could use the Eye of Omniscience to inspect the data of the Sakura Tempering Carp, he felt a special force field.
This special force field was constantly pulling at his spiritual power.
In a short while, it made Fang Mu feel headaches and dizzy.
Moreover, the headaches and dizziness were continually intensifying.
After enduring the pull of the force field for a while, Fang Mu clearly felt that his spiritual power was growing at a slow pace.
Obviously, this force field was why the Sakura Tempering Carp was considered a sacred relic, able to enhance the spiritual power of nearby Beast Masters.
In comparison to the Sakura Tempering Carp, the two All-Kinds Carps swimming in the porcelain basin, which were less than 15 cm in length, seemed no different from the common small carp one could find anywhere in the pond.
As the scales of the All-Kinds Carp were gray-brown, the color of the patterns on them were similar to the scales.
Only upon a close look, one would notice that the patterns on the scales of the All-Kinds Carp were constantly changing.
Fang Mu examined the Sakura Tempering Carp through the Eye of Omniscience.

As for the Sakura Tempering Carp’s level being Silver, Fang Mu did not feel surprised.
Because before getting the Sakura Tempering Carp, Qian Yan had already specifically told him.
Under normal circumstances, few people would like to contract a Silver Stage Beast, as the spiritual power consumed is far greater than that required for a Bronze stage Beast.
However, encountering a Beast like the Sakura Tempering Carp would be a worthwhile investment, no matter how much spiritual power it consumed.
This is why Zhang Qing, as the assistant to the Grandmaster Creator of the
Shuo Yang Founding Sect, wanted to contract the Sakura Tempering Carp, despite knowing it was Silver stage.
What surprised Fang Mu was that the quality of the Sakura Tempering Carp was only Perfect Quality, and it had not been further improved.
Compared to the value of the Sakura Tempering Carp, the resources required to upgrade the Sakura Tempering Carp from Perfect Quality to Epic Quality would be insignificant.
The Beastmaster Alliance chose not to upgrade the quality of the sacred relic, the Sakura Tempering Carp, for fear that an undesirable exclusive feature would appear after it was upgraded to Epic Quality, which could affect its value.
On the other hand, they were afraid that during the process of upgrading the quality of the Sakura Tempering Carp through elixirs, it could undergo mutation.
This could lead to a change in the exclusive feature [Tempering Swim].
If this were to happen, the Sakura Tempering Carp would completely lose its original value, and could only be sold as a middle-grade auspicious relic.
But Fang Mu didn’t need to worry about this. He could freely strengthen the Sakura Tempering Carp.
Because after the Eye of Omniscience saw through the evolutionary path of the Sakura Tempering Carp, Fang Mu simply had to improve the Sakura Tempering Carp along this evolutionary path.
He could evolve the Sakura Tempering Carp into the Heavy Cherry Washing Carp.
Along the current bloodline of the Sakura Tempering Carp, the exclusive feature [Tempering Swim] would not change.
It could be seen from the names alone that neither Cold Cherry Forever Frozen Carp nor Red Cherry Burning Pond Carp have the ability to enhance spiritual power.
The skills of the Sakura Tempering Carp seemed mediocre to Fang Mu, and could even be described as mediocre.
The effect of the skill [Fin Dance] was merely to eliminate fatigue, it could not inject vitality into the target.
Just like drinking coffee when one is tired can relieve fatigue.
If one were to rely on the Sakura Tempering Carp’s skill [Fin Dance] to falsely eliminate fatigue rather than resting, over a long period, even if a Beast Master’s physical strength were good, there would still be a possibility of sudden death.
The price of the Silver-grade skill [Cherry Healing] is the sacrifice of the cherry blossom-like scales on its body.
Many Guardian Beasts have the ability to heal damaged spiritual power.
Once damaged, the scales of the Sakura Tempering Carp would lose their value as a auspicious relic..
