Chapter 44: Snake Eggs Hatch
Chapter 44: Snake Eggs Hatch
Points of light bloomed and finally turned into two round and flawless beads, one blue and one white.
[Water-repellent beads: a medium-grade magic weapon. Holding it, one can walk underwater, even in raging waves, as if walking on flat ground. It has a certain weakening effect on water-based spells.]
Li Quanqing first took out the water-repellent beads, which were about the size of a longan seed, pure blue in color, and as glazed as jade.
Driven by magic power, a circle of light instantly bloomed on the surface of the bead, like an invisible garment wrapping the whole body.
Wow!
The vast sea was surging. Li Quanqing tried to avoid the effect of the water drops and jumped directly into the sea and dived deep into the water.
breathe~breath~
He tried to breathe freely and found that it really worked. He could breathe freely and safely underwater.
Moo!
Li Quanqing stretched out his arms and legs, and mobilized his magic power, swimming underwater like a swift big fish.
The jade carps flew around him, touching him with their fins and scales, and for the first time they looked at each other as equals.
The boy swam a long circle in the fish pond, dancing with the fish and walking with the crabs, feeling more refreshed than ever before.
If one does not rely on any techniques or external objects, one needs to break through the foundation-building realm to complete one's internal cycle.
Eat clouds and breathe air, practice fasting to cultivate immortality, and walk freely under the water.
Before, he dived deep into the water and had to surface to breathe from time to time.
Now I feel as if I have really become an aquatic creature, traveling freely underwater and being able to better observe the growth of the spirit beasts.
"Yes, it's a good baby!"
Li Quanqing swam back to the reef, put away the water-repellent beads, and began to look at another treasure.
Precious spirit pearl.
Li Quanqing had heard the name of this kind of beads many times.
But now is the first time I have touched it with my own hands.
The size of the Baolingzhu is much larger, comparable to a lychee, and it is bright white and shiny, with faint five-colored light flowing around it, which is quite extraordinary.
However, no matter how Li Quanqing looked at it, he felt that this thing looked similar to a spirit stone, except that it had been carefully polished by the Bright Moon Shell.
He sensed it and found that the spiritual energy contained in the bead was roughly between that of a cultivator at the fourth and fifth levels of Qi Refining.
This is based on his own magic power as a reference. If it is a top-level technique, it might be less.
"With such abundant spiritual energy, can I absorb several precious spiritual beads at once and break through the bottleneck?"
Li Quanqing suddenly had an idea.
When a monk is stuck in a bottleneck, it is often because of insufficient mana power.
After the precious spirit bead is refined, it becomes equivalent to an external dantian, which can gush out all the magic power in an instant.
Very interesting!
"When all the Moonlight Shells are mature, if enough precious spirit beads are produced, let's give it a try!"
The family competition was approaching, and Li Quanqing felt that his cultivation level at the fifth level of Qi Refining was still not stable.
Unfortunately, due to the previous insect plague, the big black carp suffered heavy losses, and the third batch of jade carp are still in the mother's belly as eggs.
It’s too late to rely on the spiritual energy to break through.
"I didn't expect that after lying flat on my back for so long, I would still have to rely on myself to get back on track!"
Li Quanqing stuffed the two spirit stones into the body of the mature Moonlight Clam.
I am so unlucky myself, you all need to work harder!
Only when we roll together can we really roll!
……
A month later.
A hundred miles away from Qingpan Island, in a remote sea area.
"Water Dragon Technique!"
Li Quanqing held the water dragon pendant in his hand, and his magic power surged, pouring all into it.
Groan! !
Along with a faint dragon roar, a water dragon emerged from the jade pendant and rushed into the sea like a blue stream of light.
Waves rose up into the sky and merged into the body of the water dragon, eventually transforming into a ten-foot-long behemoth with complete scales and armor, appearing lifelike.
Li Quanqing held the water dragon pendant, and strands of magic power maintained the existence of the water dragon. He could move the water dragon wherever he pointed and it would hit wherever he pointed.
"So this is how this spell is performed..."
Li Quanqing manipulated the huge body of the water dragon to surround the spirit boat, and personally touched and felt it with his hands.
The water in a water dragon's body is not stagnant, but is constantly flowing.
Undercurrents surged, mana pulled, and intertwined into vein-like runes, which could burst out with astonishing might and power in an instant. This was the mystery of the Water Dragon Technique.
Simply condensing the seawater into a dragon shape and throwing it out can only be said to be a water ball technique in a different form.
"Water Dragon Technique!"
Li Quanqing pinched his fingers and tried to cast the spell.
The water swirled and gathered in front of him, slowly taking shape and transforming into a huge water dragon of five or six meters in length.
Although it looks a bit rough and details like dragon scales are almost invisible, its power is real.
boom! !
The water dragon swung its tail and crashed straight into several underwater reefs, making a rumbling sound and splashing water all over the sky, and the reefs collapsed directly.
"It's quite powerful."
Li Quanqing was quite satisfied as he watched the rocks flying everywhere and the surging and boiling sea surface that covered an area of dozens of feet.
He shook the jade pendant in his hand, cut off the magic power, and slowly dispersed the mighty water dragon, returning it to the sea.
He didn't dare to really release this powerful force that was comparable to a blow from the ninth level of Qi Refining.
This place is too close to the Qingyu Islands, and any commotion caused by that could potentially attract investigation from powerful members of the family.
After a month of hard training, he had mastered two top-grade spells and had achieved some minor success. This speed was considered fast.
The waves hit the bottom of the boat, and Li Quanqing returned in the spirit boat.
Unexpectedly, there was a guest waiting for him outside the fish pond.
She was a woman with a cool temperament, wearing a moon-white lotus skirt, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, carrying a long sword on her back, and an ethereal and fairy-like aura all over her body.
It was Li Quanyi.
"Meet the clan sister."
Li Quanqing nodded with a lukewarm attitude.
"This is the beauty-enhancing spiritual mud I made last time. Bring me a new mud shell."
Li Quanyi handed over a big-bellied bottle, spoke lightly, and had a dazed look in her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.
"it is good."
Li Quanqing took the big-bellied bottle, took out the mud shell shed by the stone loach and gave it to the other party.
The girl hummed, took away the mud shell, and left on a spirit boat, dressed gracefully in white.
From beginning to end, the two of them didn't say anything extra and were just nodding acquaintances.
"I can take it to the shop and sell it for spiritual stones again."
Li Quanqing looked at the beauty-enhancing mud and smiled.
During this period, he officially opened a shop in Baoqingfang. The name was very straightforward, just called "Quanqing Pavilion" because he was too lazy to think about it.
Li Quanfu came over from time to time to report the situation to him, the hands-off boss.
With the endorsement of the Qingyu Li family's name and the care of Fourth Aunt Li Yujiao, it did attract a group of customers.
But the best-selling item is not the magic weapon, but this ordinary beauty-enhancing mud.
Moo! Moo!
Ao Qing surfaced, followed by his younger brothers, who were blowing bubbles and begging for food.
Nearly a hundred green jade carp fry formed a school of cute fish. They even dared to compete with Ao Qing for food. They were like newborn calves that were not afraid of tigers.
The second batch of green jade carps gave birth to baby fish one after another.
However, given the vitality and area of the fish pond, it is impossible to feed all the fish, and we can only choose the best ones.
After feeding the fish and iron-bone crabs, the sun was already high in the sky.
Li Quanqing himself felt a little tired and was about to sit down to meditate and rest when he suddenly heard an extremely subtle collision sound.
Bang~bang~bang~
Could it be...
Li Quanqing's eyes lit up with joy, and he checked hurriedly. Sure enough, he saw a snake egg shaking constantly and about to hatch.
Click! !
Finally, the eggshell broke, and a little blue snake poked its head out and breathed the first breath of fresh air in its life.
The baby green water python is so beautiful, with a cute round and blunt head, and gradient-colored scales that are as crystal clear as jade, reflecting sparkling light in the sun.
Its eyes were very big, and its pupils were the color of emeralds. It tilted its head and looked at Li Quanqing in a silly and cute way, as cunning as a kitten.
[Curious Cub] Green Water Python: "Ahhh, it just broke out of the shell so beautifully!"
[Maturity: 3%]
