Once the conch meat is cooked, take it out of the water. Since it's meant to be boiled, you can just dip it in chili oil later.
After more than an hour of work, Tang Baozhu finally finished preparing the blanched conch meat, stir-fried conch meat, braised conch meat, and stewed conch meat.
Just as I was about to eat some rice after taking it out of my spatial storage, I suddenly saw Xu Rui emerge from the sea.
"You're back just in time, perfect for dinner. Look at the conch meat I made, do you like it?"
Xu Rui was completely clean, not at all like someone who had just gone to sea; he looked no different from when he first went in.
He took out two rings from his spatial storage and handed them to Baozhu. "These two contain sea beasts. This time I really didn't hold back. I used all my strength. In less than three hours, I had cleared out this entire area within a ten-mile radius."
Tang Baozhu took the ring without even looking at it, and put it directly into her spatial storage, planning to check it again after she finished eating.
"Honey, you're so capable. Let's find another spot later, and leave once we've stored enough data."
Although Tang Baozhu wanted to travel around, she felt it was better to obediently return to the sect when she thought about the child in her belly.
After all, in other small worlds, pregnancy usually lasts for ten months without incident. It's nothing like the twists and turns in the cultivation world. Even now that she's in the womb, things aren't peaceful. She has to eat a lot of pills to restore her spiritual energy every day.
I used to take about five pills a day, but now I feel like eight aren't enough. I'm worried about what might happen, so I'll go back and think about it later. I'll go on vacation again after the baby is born and a little older.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I can tell you want to eat this because you made a whole table of conch meat. Eat it now, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Xu Rui was extremely worried because he saw that his wife was eating quite well, and her food was also imbued with spiritual energy, yet she seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
However, seeing that she seemed energetic and not listless put his mind at ease, preventing him from constantly worrying about gains and losses.
Tang Baozhu and Xu Rui were having dinner when they suddenly saw a large ship sailing towards them in the distance.
They forgot about eating and quickly looked over there; the big ship looked much bigger than Xu Rui's.
Moreover, there were quite a lot of people up there; it felt like there were hundreds or even thousands of people standing there densely packed together.
"Honey, what kind of ship is that? Why are there so many people on it?"
Xu Rui glanced over there, then turned away and focused on serving his wife food. "Those ships over there probably belong to a merchant guild. Some large merchant guilds have large ships, and cultivators without their own ships will go out to sea with them. Twenty percent of the profits will be used to cover their travel expenses, so it's a win-win situation."
"Are they safe? Could they be double-crossed?"
Xu Rui shook his head. "These large trading companies that operate boat passenger transport businesses pay special attention to their reputation. No one would dare to play any shady tricks. Of course, we can't guarantee that there aren't any bad apples among them. There might be some hidden accounts that haven't been revealed yet. So far, they are still quite reliable."
Tang Baozhu glanced at it for a while, and seeing that the ship over there was still quite far from her own and showed no sign of approaching, she stopped paying attention to it.
The ship over there wasn't unwilling to approach; it simply sensed the powerful aura emanating from this side and dared not get close.
Cultivators can be both righteous and wicked. They must have had designs on the two people alone, but they sensed that the people on the ship were not to be trifled with, so they left.
After Tang Baozhu finished eating, Xu Rui continued sailing to the next place, since he had already thoroughly searched the area below.
Although Tang Baozhu had nothing to do and didn't want to open the bead herself anymore, she simply released two of her puppets that were at the Integration Stage.
After releasing them, we immediately took out all the giant clams, conches, and pearl oysters and had them open the pearls.
I'll just sit here and watch. I've already had my fill, so I can just sit quietly now.
After the boat stopped, Xu Rui felt that he had gone far enough, so he prepared to go into the sea.
Seeing that his wife had released two puppets at the Fusion Stage, he nodded in satisfaction. After all, they were high-end combat forces.
People at the Integration Stage are considered old monsters; they're rarely seen. Unless someone at the Integration Stage or higher comes looking for trouble, these two Integration Stage puppets are more than capable of handling them.
"Wife, there are two puppets guarding you here this time, so I'll come back in a couple of days. I'll try to finish this quickly and collect as much as possible for you, and then we'll go back."
"Sure, two days of scavenging will yield more than the initial seven days. I'm fine with it."
It's no wonder Xu Rui was so anxious. He was worried that something might happen to him outside. Although he also knew some medical cultivation techniques, he didn't specialize in it, so he was always uneasy.
Within a sect, there are cultivators who specialize in researching medical cultivation techniques, making it safer to stay within the sect.
Tang Baozhu is also a little uneasy now. Although she seems to be fine now, she has a feeling that the baby in her belly is absorbing her energy, and she feels that taking pills every day is not enough.
It's a different kind of fatigue, not the kind that comes from a lack of vitality. I always feel like the baby in my belly is absorbing something else from me, but I just don't know it right now.
This feeling is unmistakable. Ever since she came to the cultivation world, her senses have been exceptionally sharp, and nothing good can escape her perception.
Now that I have that bad feeling, I should take it seriously. However, since I haven't experienced it before, even if I take it seriously, I won't be able to take it seriously enough.
It's only a two-day delay, so it's not a big deal. If the situation is really urgent, Xu Rui can tear open a spatial rift and instantly reach the sect's location.
This is the real reason why the two of them aren't in a hurry.
After Xu Rui left, Tang Baozhu kept watch over the two puppets while they opened the beads. Each bead came out in a blind box, which was very exciting to watch.
Although I didn't open it myself, which slightly diminished the surprise, I was still very happy.
For the next two days, Tang Baozhu kept opening the beads with two puppets. Originally, all three rings had been opened, but then two more rings came back, so they had to continue opening them.
To be honest, I was quite pleasantly surprised at first. I had a sense of anticipation before each bead was opened, but after opening so many, I really lost that feeling.
On the contrary, after driving too much, it feels like going to work; there are no surprises, only numbness.
