Chapter 44 Bloodclaw Chicken and Red Blood Chicken
"Brother, brother, where's Xiaoyuan? We want to play with Xiaoyuan!"
Chen Fei and Chen Tiedan ran out of the house happily, their first words being that they wanted to find Xiao Yuan.
Chen Dao handed Xiao Yuan, who had already finished eating the Blood Clotting Fruit, to them and said, "You two play with Xiao Yuan, your brother is going out!"
"Okay brother!"
After leaving Xiaoyuan to play with the two children, Chen Dao went to the construction site and did what he could with Chen Da and the others.
…………
…………
Three days passed.
That morning, Chen Dao stood in front of the chicken coop, his eyes filled with joy.
At this moment, there were 30 chickens in the coop, including 8 adult yellow-feathered chickens, 19 young yellow-feathered chickens, and the remaining three were... blood-feathered chickens!
"Advancement successful!"
Chen Dao looked at the blood-feathered chicken in the cage, his joy evident in his eyes.
At the same time, information about the Blood Feather Chicken's advancement appeared in Chen Dao's field of vision.
[Blood-feathered chicken, characteristics: small in size; its meat and blood are believed to strengthen blood and qi.]
[Blood Feather Chicken Advancement Path 1: Feed it Blood Spirit Mushroom for five consecutive days to advance it to Blood Claw Chicken.]
[Bloodclaw Chicken Characteristics: Large in size, agile, and possesses combat strength comparable to an eighth-rank martial artist.]
[Blood Feather Chicken Advancement Route Two: Crush chicken heart grass and phoenix tail flower into juice, feed the chicken juice for five consecutive days, and it will advance to Red Blood Chicken.]
【Characteristics of Red Blood Chicken: Chicken blood and meat can nourish blood and qi, with even greater effects than blood-feathered chicken.】
"Bloodclawed chicken and Redclawed chicken..."
Chen Dao looked thoughtful. This time, there were two advancement paths: one was to advance into a fighting chicken, and the other was to advance into a brute chicken...
Both of these advanced paths produce chicken breeds that look quite good.
Among them, the Bloodclaw Chicken's combat power is comparable to that of an eighth-rank martial artist, while the description of the Crimson Blood Chicken is somewhat vague. However, based on his previous experience, Chen Dao can roughly conclude that the Crimson Blood Chicken is definitely better at nourishing blood and qi than the Blood Feather Chicken.
"It's a pity that the advanced medicinal herbs are getting harder and harder to obtain!"
Chen Dao sighed. He had never even heard of the Blood Claw Chicken's upgraded Blood Spirit Mushroom. Moreover, any medicinal herb with "spirit mushroom" in its name must be expensive.
As for the materials needed to upgrade the Crimson Blood Chicken, there is no shortage of Chicken Heart Grass and aged rice, but Phoenix Tail Flower... I'll probably have to go to the county town to inquire!
Chen Dao guessed that Blood Lingzhi and Phoenix Tail Flower were likely medicinal materials used by martial artists, and medicinal materials used by martial artists were often extremely expensive!
"Let's think about advancing later!"
Chen Dao temporarily put aside the matter of advancing his cultivation level and looked at the three Blood Feather Chickens in the cage.
Now that the Bloodfeather Chicken, a breed effective against martial artists, has been bred, it's time to consider selling them.
Chen Dao hadn't yet figured out how to sell this stuff.
Because the Blood Feather Chicken, a breed of chicken useful to martial artists, is extremely rare, it would be difficult for Chen Dao to guarantee that he wouldn't attract unwanted attention if he were to sell it on the market.
You must understand that the entire Xia Kingdom is currently in turmoil, the imperial court and government have no control over their subordinates, and the authority of the law has vanished. Murder and robbery... are not impossible.
On his way to the county town last time, Chen Dao witnessed several bandits leap out of the woods beside the official road and forcibly abduct two women from a family of three, along with all their money and food.
It's only because Chen Dao and his gang seem formidable that they might have become prey for those bandits.
Of course, Chen Dao was not worried about the bandits, but rather about the powerful forces in the county town.
Once those powerful forces learn that they possess the Bloodfeathered Chicken, an item whose effects are comparable to those of a demonic beast, they will likely only face two outcomes:
One is that they die suddenly and mysteriously, and then the Blood Feather Chicken falls into the hands of those powerful forces for them to study.
Secondly, he was imprisoned and severely tortured by powerful forces who interrogated him about the origin of the Blood Feather Chicken.
Neither of these two consequences is acceptable to Chen Dao, therefore... Chen Dao plans to wait until Xiao Yuan successfully advances before considering selling Blood Feather Chickens in the county town.
As for the target of selling the blood-feathered chicken, Chen Dao had no choice but to sell it to Li Ying!
Chen Dao, who had dealt with Li Ying several times, had a good impression of her. Li Ying didn't have that arrogant air about her at all, and she was kind-hearted, so she probably wouldn't do something like extortion.
Even so, Chen Dao still planned to wait until Xiao Yuan successfully advanced before going to the county town. After all, you can know a person's face but not their heart, and Chen Dao couldn't guarantee that Li Ying wouldn't be tempted by the huge benefits of the Blood Feather Chicken.
Only with the protection of the Iron Claw Panda, equivalent to an eighth-rank martial artist, could Chen Dao feel more at ease.
"Hurry up and successfully advance, Xiaoyuan."
Chen Dao gently stroked Xiao Yuanyuan's round head, and Xiao Yuanyuan immediately let out a pleasant "woof woof woof" sound, as if she was enjoying Chen Dao's caress very much.
After taking out food from the house to feed Xiao Hei and a group of yellow-feathered and blood-feathered chickens, Chen Dao left his house and went to his own construction site.
At this moment, Chen Cheng and his four companions were having breakfast, which was still the fragrant sorghum flour steamed buns. When they saw Chen Dao coming over, they all greeted him.
"Brother Dao!"
"Brother Dao is here!"
"Brother Dao, do you have some steamed buns here? Want to share?"
"..."
Responding to the enthusiastic group, Chen Dao nodded in response, walked straight to Chen Cheng and sat down next to him, asking with a smile, "Brother Cheng, aren't you getting tired of eating steamed buns every day?"
"Nutritious? How could it be nutritious?"
Without hesitation, Chen Cheng replied, "These steamed buns are even tastier than white rice, how could I ever get tired of them!"
"..."
Chen Dao was speechless, only then realizing that he had misunderstood. For him, eating steamed buns every meal was unacceptable, and he needed to eat some white rice occasionally to change things up.
But for people like Chen Cheng, their family usually eats bran flour, and steamed buns are much more delicious than bran flour, so there's no possibility of them getting tired of them.
"Rice Brother".
Chen Da walked over and said, "This house is already half-built. I estimate it will be completed in about half a month."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dao looked at the construction site and saw that the basic shape of the house had already appeared. Just as Chen Da had said, the main structure of the house should be completed in about half a month.
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle, and Cheng-ge'er too!" Chen Dao said.
"It's not hard work there."
Chen Cheng waved his hand and said, "If we eat steamed buns every day, we'd love to work at your house every day!"
"Yes yes yes!"
The others nodded in agreement like chickens pecking at rice. The time they had been working at Chen Dao's house was probably the happiest time of their lives. They had steamed buns to their hearts' content every day. They had never experienced such good days before, let alone in this year of disaster.
