The early spring chill had not yet fully receded, and the waters of the Nanzhe No. 7 Fishery were beginning to thaw.
After Chen Qing emerged from his seclusion, his aura had grown even more steady. He had stabilized his Cultivation at the Mid-stage Embracing Pill Realm.
He gathered everyone at the Fishery in the courtyard to give instructions on raising the fish.
"Old Zhao."
Chen Qing's voice was steady. "The winter harvest is over, and the ice and snow have melted. It's time to prepare the fish fry for the new season. Follow the usual procedures from last year. Prioritize replenishing the five-year Treasure Fish stock, and keep up with the cleaning and maintenance of the Jade Lotus Pool. If the accounts are short, report to me immediately."
"Yes, Steward! Rest assured, this old man knows what to do. I'll make sure everything is handled properly."
