The net was placed by Maoyou himself and he also collected it with his own hands. He just wanted to enjoy the joy of harvest as soon as possible.

Maoyou felt disappointed that there was little movement in the net and the weight didn't feel very heavy, so it seemed that there would be no big catch.

In fact, if a creature can squeeze through a narrow crack in the rock, it cannot be too big, and naturally it will not have exaggerated strength.

When the net was pulled up, Uchiha You recognized that it was fish, but a strange kind of fish.

The fish in the underground river look a bit like loaches, with no eyes, no scales, a completely transparent body, only a small ball of internal organs, and a round mouth full of tiny, sharp teeth.

Even if they fell into the net, they did not struggle, but instead gathered around a center and desperately bit something with their teeth.

Uchiha You smiled and said, "This fish is quite interesting, but the things they are determined to bite are more likely to be good."

Maoyou became excited and jumped directly into the water, carrying the net to the shore.

The ninja cats rushed forward, picked up all the small fish with their claws and mouths, and then found the thing that attracted the small fish.

It actually looks like a piece of stone.

Uchiha You took it and read it over and over again. Finally, he figured out something. He said to Mao You, "It looks like stone bark. It should be an ancient bark fossil."

Maoyou asked, "What's the use of fossils?"

“Fossils are the remaining traces of organisms from ancient times. They can help us understand past organisms and the world…” When Uchiha You noticed that mosquito coils were beginning to appear in Maoyou’s eyes, he consciously closed his mouth.

Yes, for ninjas and ninja cats, fossils are of no use. Even for Uchiha Yu himself, this fossil is of no use at all.

Reluctantly, he stuffed the fossil into his mouth and bit it gently with his teeth.

It was cold, tasteless, hard and completely impossible to chew, and Uchiha Yu's body had no desire for it.

"It's really useless. It's possible that the fossil components contain trace elements necessary for these fish, such as salts such as silicates."

"But these fish are not in the right condition. Maoyou, keep this thing. Maybe we can discover its value in the future."

When Maoyou heard this, he shook his head like a rattle and refused repeatedly: "No, no, I don't have the patience to take care of a collection of meows. If I keep them for a few days, I won't be able to find them myself."

"Either you keep it for yourself, or find an opportunity to give it to Granny Cat for collection. She is very careful and will definitely not lose it."

Uchiha You nodded, stuffed it into the ninja tool bag, and then went to check the transparent little fish.

Maoyou and the other ninja cats came over and sniffed. Surprisingly, the fish had no fishy smell at all, and even had a faint fragrance.

Uchiha You closed his eyes and smelled it. He immediately had an illusion that what was in front of him was not a fish at all, but a lotus bud that had just emerged, emitting a faint fragrance and with a strong inner meaning waiting to bloom.

This time, there was no need to put the fish into his mouth, Uchiha You's body felt a strong desire, he was hungry.

Uchiha You couldn't help but sigh: "Hmm - it smells good, this must be something good."

Maoyou was an impatient person. He was already drooling due to the aroma. When he heard Uchiha You say this, he could no longer control his urge to eat.

He grabbed a small fish with his claws, put it into his mouth, and swallowed it without chewing.

Maoyou's speed was so fast that Uchiha You had just opened his mouth to remind him to slow down before the fish was swallowed by him.

Maoyou grinned and laughed: "Hahaha, meow, don't worry about me, I am a cat immortal who was born as a ninja cat. The digestive ability of my stomach is not comparable to that of you humans."

"And this fish is so interesting. It melts right after it enters my throat and flows into my stomach like a thick soup."

He compared his four-meter height, patted his belly, and said proudly: "My body is so strong, and my digestive ability is so powerful. The meat in my stomach can't... Oh--wow!"

Before he could finish his words, Maoyou exhaled a strange breath. The smell was definitely not fragrant, but it was definitely not stinky either. In short, it was very strange, and the amount was huge.

Immediately afterwards, Maoyou's nose began to bleed, and the scars on his eyes, back, and legs from previous serious injuries were all bleeding, and wriggling granulations appeared, which was extremely creepy.

The ninja cats were so scared that they meowed and their instinct made them run away, but their concern for their boss prevented them from escaping too far. They could only gather around five or six meters away, anxiously watching Uchiha You trying to rescue him.

Uchiha You rushed over as soon as Maoyou exhaled and began to check the big cat's body, but the feeling of natural energy feedback was very strange. Except for the symptoms of indigestion in the stomach and intestines, Maoyou's body was better than ever before, and those places where blood flowed were full of vigorous vitality.

[Could it be that the fish meat contains active biological toxins? The vitality I sensed was not from the cat, but from bacteria that were multiplying in large numbers? ]

[No, no, this feels like an overdose? ]

[That little fish is really a good thing! ]

As Uchiha You observed that the granulation tissues were entangled and fused with each other, they not only digested the connective tissue of the scar, but also refilled the missing flesh and blood in the wound, completely eliminating the scar, and even the hair was growing rapidly.

He was completely relieved. It was indeed not poison, but a magical tonic that could heal injuries and strengthen the body. However, it was too strong for Maoyou, and his body did not have enough endurance, so he fell into a coma to reduce the impact.

Uchiha You could only manipulate the natural energy in Maoyou's body, activate the various body-strengthening mechanisms, maximize the digestive capacity, and consume the vitality and energy brought by the whole fish at the fastest speed.

Even so, Maoyou struggled for two full hours before he completely digested the nutrients in the fish and fell into a deep sleep exhausted.

Leaving Maoyou in the care of the ninja cats, Uchiha You began to study these small fish. Of course, these small fish were more valuable than the wild animals and beehives discovered by the ninja cats.

Based on Maoyou's personal experience, verbal description and physical performance, Uchiha You was able to confirm that these little fish were definitely good stuff.

The problem is that it's too good.

The small fish melted in the mouth and was absorbed as soon as it entered the stomach. The efficiency of nutrient conversion was too high, and as a result, it exceeded the tolerance of Cat Immortal's body, which led to Mao You's failure.

Uchiha You said to himself: "According to this idea, we should slow down the digestion speed through processing to reduce the impact on the body."

"It's decided. Let's fry it into small dried fish!"

"It fully meets the processing goals and can also extend the shelf life of food, killing two birds with one stone."

Uchiha You did it right away. He put up an iron pan, lit a fire and started frying the dried fish.

The small fish has no scales and no mucus on its skin, so it is very dry. The internal organs do not need to be removed, as perhaps all the nutrients are concentrated in the internal organs.

Add a small amount of oil to the hot oil pan, put the small fish in one by one after it is heated. The hot oil and hot pan will not easily stick to the pan, thus avoiding the small fish from losing their precious meat.

After all the small fish are put in, add some salt and start tossing the pan gently, constantly adding salt and dry powder to increase the flavor and absorb the oil.

Originally, when making dried fish, one had to add chopped pepper, pepper powder, soy sauce, crushed garlic and then stir-fry until fragrant, but Uchiha You found that this was not necessary.

As the moisture was evaporated during the frying process, the fish meat and oil combined and began to emit a unique fragrance and fresh taste. Uchiha You knew with just a light sniff that adding any spices at this time would be redundant and would even damage the freshness of the dried fish.

He decisively took the pot off the heat and poured the dried fish into a plate covered with white gauze. The dried fish was ready.

As soon as the small fish was put into the pot, Sanlun Yashi was so stimulated by the aroma that he could no longer sleep.

She walked over quietly, watching the dried fish being made bit by bit with saliva dripping from her mouth. Suddenly, she slapped the table where the plate was placed with her white paws, but without making any sound.

The tabby cat was stunned for a moment, then it stretched out its claws and scratched the table, making a harsh friction sound, attracting Uchiha You's attention.

After Miwa Masayo signed the contract with Uchiha Yu, she ate a lot of dried fish, some bought in the market and some made by Uchiha Yu himself. She had eaten no less than thirty kinds.

But today these dried fish are different, exuding a scent that is fatal to cats.

The aroma spread explosively before it came out of the pot, making the tabby cat feel uneasy. Honey barbecue was no longer in Sanlun Masayo's mind at this time.

She was demonstrating to her owner, and her purpose was of course self-evident. She couldn't hide it at all, and her body expression was too obvious.

But after Maoyou's performance, Uchiha You didn't dare to give her the whole fish, so he cut off a little bit, about equivalent to one-fifth of the fish head, which made the little cat very angry.

Who are you looking down on?

It's just a tiny bit of stuff, it will be gone with just one lick of my tongue, how can you be so stingy?

After making a fuss for a while, under the persuasion of a group of ninja cats, Miwa Masayo licked the fish head scraps on the plate reluctantly, and then experienced the itchy feeling that made her feel like her soul flew away.

Dried fish contains surging life energy, which can greatly strengthen the body of the eater, but it will also cause great pressure on the eater's digestive system.

As the first cat immortal, Miwa Masayo was far superior to Maoyou in immortal arts, but Maoyou's strong body of over four meters tall crushed the tabby cat that was only half a meter long.

Even if it was just processed dried fish, even if it was just the scraps of one-fifth of a head, Sanlun Yashi still couldn't bear the huge amount of life energy.

Fortunately, the fairy chakra has a super high conversion efficiency, which can support Miwa Masaya without any abnormal changes. The fast conversion speed has a disadvantage, which is the uncontrollable itch.

The itch from the bone marrow does not make a cat want to laugh. Instead, it makes her limbs stiff and her tail stand on end, but she can't even make a sound.

Uchiha You quickly held the raccoon cat in his hands and used his own strength to help her regulate it. He sorted out the entire process from dried fish to body strengthening bit by bit and found the balance between efficiency and side effects.

This is the practice method, which is only useful when using special foods.

Miwa Masayo was very smart and quickly mastered the digestion training method, and then got rid of the abnormal state.

"Meow, this is terrible. Fortunately, You is here, otherwise I would have lost the big cat."

The tabby cat now loves and fears the dried fish. It circles around the plate and asks in confusion, "This is really good stuff, but the effect is too strong. How can I eat it?"

Uchiha You smiled and said, "Practice the technique you are using now and make your body a hundred times stronger, then you will be able to bear it."

"One hundred times? Meow, that's impossible, meow."

"I have another idea, which is to process it again and dilute the amount of dried fish. Although it won't be as fragrant, it should be safe to eat."

"Hurry up meow, please meow."

Uchiha You took out a piece of paper and wrote while thinking.

Based on the reactions of Maoyou, himself, and Miwa Masayo after eating the dried fish, he thought of a prescription to suppress the negative effects. By adding enough flour to dilute the purity of the dried fish, he could use it as a daily snack.

After completing the prescription, he arranged for Miwa Masayoshi to go to the Cat Castle to purchase medicinal materials and 100 kilograms of flour.

Use such a large amount of flour as the base, mix it with powder ground from dried fish, and then fry it in oil into the shape of dried fish, and then it can be used as a snack of dried fish.

According to Uchiha You's calculations, Maoyou and Miwa Masayo can eat whatever they want, and as long as they don't swallow too much, they can be guaranteed to get only benefits and no harm.

Ordinary ninja cats can eat one every three to five days. Although it is impossible to completely avoid pain and itching, it will not really harm the body. On the contrary, it will promote the growth of the body and chakra.

As long as time is long enough, the ninja cats in the cat castle will become stronger and stronger, and there will be more and more ninja cats who master fairy arts. In the future there will always be a third and fourth cat fairy.

Only then can Cat Castle truly establish itself as a holy land and secure its position as the leader of the Constant Temperature Immortal Alliance.

…

Two days later, Uchiha You held out a freshly fried small fish noodle. He controlled the heat very well. The small fish noodle was golden brown and crispy, exuding an enticing aroma of oil and a unique fragrance that could not be concealed by the mixture of spices and medicinal herbs.

That is the aroma of the fried transparent small fish, which is thoroughly stimulated by the background of more than a dozen medicinal herbs and spices after being fried, and finally forms a deadly flavor that makes Uchiha You salivate.

He held back his saliva and handed over the fried fish. All the ninja cats and the two cat immortals in front of him retreated together, with expressions of desire and fear coexisting on the cats' faces.

Uchiha You said helplessly: "This is the third time, there shouldn't be any problem."

Sanluan Masayo tried hard to hold back his saliva and said, "This time it's Maoyou's turn."

Maoyou, who was drooling because of his big mouth, shook his head: "No, I can't do it anymore. I've already eaten six today. If I eat more, my nose will bleed again."

"Young men, stand up bravely, this is a very useful divine object."

The ninja cats collectively let out a "meow" cry and retreated further away.

"Boss, don't try to deceive us again. The food is good, but after eating it, you will have to shed your fur, have diarrhea, and vomit..."

"That is the ordeal you must go through to become stronger. According to Uchiha You-sama, it is to cleanse your marrow and remove your hair, to remove the impurities in your body, especially the hair in your stomach and the toxins in your intestines!"

Maoyou shouted angrily, "This is a rare benefit. How can you be so useless? Where is your courage? Where is your character? "

The ninja cats burst into tears when they heard this, and some of them even answered, "But it's so embarrassing to vomit and have diarrhea in front of so many cats and lose all your hair!"

Maoyou's nose was crooked with anger: "You ate one and you can talk. What's the shame? Are there any real warriors?"

"Boss, it's so unfair of you to say that. You don't even eat it yourself, so if you eat it, then we will eat it too!"

"Ah! I'll eat it, isn't it just a nosebleed? I'm not afraid!"

Finally, under the leadership of Maoyou, more than 30 courageous ninja cats tried the new recipe of small noodles.

This time the recipe turned out to be perfect.

Ordinary ninja cats will still have a strong reaction after eating it, but the hair loss is orderly, the vomiting is controllable, and even diarrhea can be endured so that the ninja cat can run to the toilet.

For the ninja cat who has mastered the fairy chakra, the reaction is completely controllable. It is just a slight symptom of fever and heat, and it will be fine if you drink more water.

As for the two cat fairies, the new formula of small fish noodles is delicious and comfortable. After eating it, they just feel warm in their stomachs and their whole bodies are warm and comfortable.

Miwa Masayo praised happily: "Perfect!!"

Uchiha You ate two of them himself and asked, "What is this called? Fried fish with noodles, or..."

"Dried fish!"

The ninja cats all fought for the right to name the fish: "Little fish is so good!!"
