After exhausting the four Iron Claw Crab juveniles until their pincers were powerless, Lu Xuan finally allowed them to rest, feeling somewhat reluctant to stop.
He tossed them into the Spiritual Spring Pool and threw in a handful of Spirit Rice as a reward.
"These Iron Claw Crabs are much more energetic than the Red-bearded Carp. Giving them some tasks to do isn't a bad idea, helps wear down that vigor."
Lu Xuan smiled while watching the crabs lying motionless at the bottom of the Spiritual Spring Pool, secretly thinking to himself.
*He felt satisfaction as he watched them spent and placid, creativity manifesting in his cultivated rewards.*
He scattered fine iron ore near the Copper Bone Bamboo, letting it absorb freely.
Then, moving to where the four Blood Jade Ginseng plants were growing, he noticed that the thin outer skin that encased the spirit seeds—like a jade sealed in stone—looked as though it was about to burst.
