Chapter 80: Spiritual Food from Another World, Elf Luna
Chapter 80: Spiritual Food from Another World, Elf Luna (Two in One)
Changing the subject from Lettuce Island, Ryan took the initiative to ask Frank what he thought about the trip to the Iris Islands.
"Hey, the Iris Family relied on the legacy of their ancestors to control this sea area for a thousand years. Now that things have turned so drastically, they probably can't sit still any longer."
Frank held the goblet and gently swirled the purple wine inside. "The drastic changes on Jinmai Island are just a prelude. As more wizards leave the Wizarding Kingdom, I'm afraid he can no longer exercise the authority of a monarch with the title of earl."
Donald laughed and said, "The Iris Family is not stupid. They have already been colluding with the wizard organization. Most of the rune warriors they recruit every year are sent to the Wizard Kingdom for further training."
"Ha! Rune Warriors can't learn witchcraft at the same time, so what's the point of studying there?"
His playful tone reminded Ryan of the birth of the Rune Warrior. A bad guess came to his mind: "Could it be that he was used as an experimental subject?"
Donald looked Ryan up and down and said with a strange smile: "Of course, that kind of inferior stuff is used as experimental consumables or cannon fodder."
"Someone like you, Baron, might be noticed by a witch or a sorceress and become her male lover. But they are not easy to serve..."
Ryan snorted coldly, his face looking a little ugly.
Donald didn't care at all. He turned to ask Li Qing, "It is said that the Iris Family pays tribute of some spirit insects to the Emerald Ring every year? Are you still doing that taboo ritual?"
Li Qing smiled and said, "I am not in the same group with them. Even if there is, they will not let me know about it."
Donaldo shrugged. "It seems that you are a traditionalist. Traditionalism is good. Plant trees and raise elves, and you can gain the favor of the world's will."
Li Qing kept this in mind, but fearing exposure, he did not discuss the matter further. He only said, "Well, I really can't stand them. What about you? Which faction do you belong to in the Dark Swamp?"
Donald seems to be eager to show off.
With a little guidance of his spiritual consciousness during the foundation-building period, Li Qing was able to obtain a lot of information without the need for any means such as the Confusing Mind Spell or the Bewildering Mind Spell.
The Dark Swamp is divided into three branches: Shadow Sect, Poison Mist Sect, and Transformation Sect. Donald belongs to the Shadow Sect and is the youngest one who has the most hope of becoming a Level 4 wizard.
The cooperation between the Morning Glory Family and the Dark Swamp was facilitated by his teacher. He stayed on the island as a liaison, and although it was inconvenient to practice, he could get a high subsidy.
What concerns Li Qing the most is that there are seven level four wizards in the Dark Swamp, which is an astonishing strength.
After all, there are only six great foundation-building cultivators around Xuefeng Lake, including Li Qing, the new foundation-building cultivator.
On this side, Li Qing was trying to extract information from Donado; on the other side, Ryan was already drinking and chatting happily with Frank.
"Your Excellency, when I drink this wine, it seems to be more mellow than before, and contains more magical essence."
Ryan studied the notes on spiritual wine given by Li Qing and gained a lot of insights, and his wine tasting skills also improved rapidly.
Hearing this, Frank laughed and said, "With the help of an adult from the Dark Swamp, my Purple Morning Glory Elf Ford has made the Cordyceps bloom for the third time."
"If the Sea God blesses it, it will undergo a transformation next year, and it will have a good chance of recreating the glory of its ancestors and becoming a great elf!"
Upon hearing this, Ryan was sincerely happy for him: "This is truly a great event. Please hold a banquet then, and I will definitely attend."
Frank smiled and clinked glasses with him: "May the sea god protect us."
The two ships continued to move forward for two hours, and a huge island came into Li Qing's sight.
If the area of Lettuce Island is roughly equivalent to two or three villages, less than a township, then the main island of Iris is almost as large as a county.
Li Qing returned to his own ship, stood on the bow and looked into the distance, vaguely sensing four slightly threatening auras.
They made no effort to hide their power, and their aura was like a rolling tide, overwhelming and overwhelming, and it was obvious that they were intended to shock everyone.
Li Qing thought about it and made some reservations. The aura belonging to the first level of foundation building rose into the sky and faced the other side from a distance.
"Sir!" Ryan and Little Joel could not bear the pressure of the momentum and bowed together. The sailors knelt down at their posts involuntarily.
On the other side, on the Morning Glory Family's ship, Frank and Donald were sweating profusely and looked at each other in horror: Is this a Level 4 big shot? !
Fortunately, the aura on the main island soon converged slightly to the center, and Li Qing's aura also dissipated.
Ryan then let out a long sigh and straightened his back: "Your Excellency is so majestic. I thought that after being promoted to a gold warrior, I would be able to reach the fourth level. I didn't expect that I couldn't even withstand your aura..."
Li Qing also sighed: He had previously relied on those twenty or so drops of true essence and thought he was half a foundation-building cultivator. Only when he really succeeded did he realize how ridiculous it was.
"Whether in the world of cultivation or here, it's one step at a time."
Ryan commanded the ship to dock and asked the sailors to carry out the gifts for the count.
Soon, the steward of Iris Island came to the dock with servants, and respectfully welcomed the Lettuce Island group into the beautifully decorated carriage.
The Morning Glory family also received good treatment.
Because the Earl's invitation was for the next day, the butler placed them in two adjacent manors.
"I'm sorry, Lord Earl is too busy today to come and receive our distinguished guests. Please take a rest first and see you at the banquet tomorrow."
Li Qing and his family lived in the earl's private courtyard, where every brick and tile was luxurious, and every tree and flower was exquisite. The family's heritage was undoubtedly revealed.
In comparison, the newly built Rainbow Cliff Castle of the Ryan family can only be regarded as a small tiled house in the countryside.
What surprised Li Qing even more was that he saw an elf for the first time in the manor.
It, or rather she, is exactly like the elf in the fairy tale.
The little person is about three inches tall, with a pair of dragonfly-like wings behind him, a small skirt with lotus leaf pattern on his body, and a small pink and yellow water lily hanging on his forehead.
This is the standard form of the spirit insect evolution. Although they are also metamorphosis, Asun's unicorn snake and Asao's red dragonfly are simply outliers.
She flapped her wings, hid behind a camphor tree, and stuck her head out to look at Li Qing from afar, seeming a little shy.
"That's the water lily fairy Luna." The butler introduced with a smile, "There is a large water lily pond behind the manor, and it was born naturally from it."
This was the first time Ryan had enjoyed such treatment, and he was also very surprised. Without any explanation, he asked Li Qing's question: "Isn't this elf contracted by anyone?"
The smile on the butler's face faded a little: "Luna was once my young lady's contracted spirit. After my young lady passed away, it was unwilling to recognize its master again, so the count let it come back."
Li Qing nodded, and Ryan tactfully did not ask any more questions.
After the butler instructed the manor manager to treat Li Qing well, he apologized to Li Qing and left in a hurry.
"Sir, the Iris family is too arrogant. Even if the Earl is busy with affairs, don't the young masters and young ladies have time? They are so neglectful to you!" Ryan was a little indignant.
Li Qing smiled and shook his head: "The guest should follow the host's wishes. There is no need to worry about these details. It will only take a day."
From that afternoon to evening, other forces landed on the island one after another.
Li Qing clearly sensed the fluctuations of three fourth-level forces.
Two groups made the same choice as Li Qing, confronted the Iris Family, and were politely invited to rest in two other manors. One group was very obscure. If Li Qing hadn't been blessed by the visualization diagram, he wouldn't have sensed it. The Iris Family might not have noticed that the person who went to greet them was just a steward, and they didn't arrange a separate manor.
Li Qing ignored these trivial matters, found a quiet room, set up some restrictions, and began his daily meditation.
"Sure enough, the spiritual energy of this Iris Island is much more active than that of Lettuce Island." Li Qing pondered, "What is the secret behind this?"
He had the same feeling when he and Rick went to the sea to search for treasure for the first time. After passing the boundary sea stone, the spiritual energy in the Iris Sea became obviously more active.
The strange thing was that this time when he came by boat, the spiritual energy rising from the water surface was not much different, which made him almost think that there was a special situation in the sea.
However, once he landed on the main island of Iris, this feeling became very clear. Li Qing only took a few breaths and felt that his efficiency was nearly half that of Lettuce Island.
"Speaking of which, the territories in this world seem to have some kind of secrets." Li Qing pondered, "Even the quota for the awakening ceremony is linked to the territory..."
Unfortunately, there were too few samples. Li Qing just thought about it for a moment and put it aside: "Wait until the awakening ceremony on Iris Island tomorrow and make a comparison."
Just at this moment, the manager of the manor came to the door and asked for the meal time. Li Qing ended his meditation and signaled him to arrange it immediately.
The food in the manor villa is quite good. Many of the ingredients are of witchcraft standards, and the cooking methods are also quite novel.
One of Li Qing’s favorite dishes is stewed coconut snails with precious fruits.
The so-called "hundred precious fruits" is an imaginary number. Li Qing sensed that there were about thirteen kinds of witch medicine fruits and six kinds of witch medicine seeds.
The palm snail is a descendant of magic power, and although it does not contain magic power (spiritual energy), its meat is very tender. The snail paste and snail yellow are also very delicious.
This dish is made by adding magic drugs in sequence, cooking them with different heat and techniques, and then skimming off the magic drugs, leaving only the date snails that have absorbed the essence of the magic drugs.
Li Qing held a palm-sized date palm snail in his hand, scooped out the snail meat with a silver fork, and placed it together with the snail roe on a silver plate.
The snail meat looked very tender, but it did not fall apart even after being stewed for a long time, and remained a plump ball.
Li Qing blew gently, and the snail meat was like a tranquil lake, rippling waves, looking very smooth.
"It's quite a clever idea." Li Qing praised, picked up the plate and sucked it gently. The snail meat slid into his mouth. With a slight sip, it turned into a delicious soup with rich layers.
He closed his eyes and savored the soup for a while before swallowing it. He was surprised, "A mere first-level spiritual plant, after being cooked like this, actually has benefits for my internal organs in the foundation-building stage?"
He clearly felt that as the date palm snail entered his stomach, some complex spiritual plant essence was slowly nourishing his internal organs.
"Perhaps this is the spiritual food of this world. As expected, every world has a profound background. Although Lettuce Island is safe, it is too isolated."
On the other side, Ren felt it even more clearly. He was guiding the rune's mind, and under the nourishment of this essence, it actually stabilized a little bit.
"Sir! The recipe of this coconut snail is simply amazing!" Ryan couldn't help but get excited, "If we can trade for this recipe..."
Lettuce Island also has a magical offspring of palm snails. You can follow their example.
Li Qing smiled and shook his head: "This recipe is precious and beneficial to me. The Iris Family will not give it out easily."
Ryan sighed with some regret.
Li Qing never wanted to miss out on delicious food, so he put aside some distracting thoughts and focused on eating the snails.
Seeing that he liked it, Ryan only ate two and stopped there.
As a rune warrior, Xiao Qiaoer was also qualified to sit at the table. Unfortunately, his strength was low, and after eating one, he felt a little weak and could not take it anymore. He could only watch Li Qing devour the food with envy.
In this way, Li Qing had a very relaxing dinner, and the slight feeling of being neglected also disappeared.
*
At dusk, Li Qing was lying on the bed taking a nap, and there was a rustling sound coming from outside the window.
Li Qing scanned the area with his spiritual sense and found that it was the water lily fairy Luna that he had seen during the day. She was holding a small purple insect between her hands.
Li Qing opened the window, and Luna flapped her wings quickly and flew into the room as if escaping for her life, then anxiously signaled Li Qing to close the window.
Li Qing closed the window with an idea, and activated the ban to isolate the aura in the room: "Little guy, your name is Luna, right? Don't worry, no one dares to break in."
Luna flew to the bedside table, put down the little bug in her hand, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Gujiya!"
This little bug was, of course, also a fairy bug. It was light purple with a dark purple symbol on its forehead, and looked a little confused.
Its scent is similar to Luna's. If Li Qing guessed correctly, it should be a water lily elf insect.
The elf still couldn't speak human language, and Li Qing hadn't signed a spiritual contract with Luna, so he naturally couldn't understand what she was saying.
But her intelligence was obviously not low. After some gestures, she successfully made Li Qing understand what she meant.
"You mean, you want to entrust this elf insect to me?" Li Qing was a little surprised.
Luna nodded: "Yaguji." Then she started to sign in sign language.
Li Qing couldn't help but look serious: "Some bad guys are catching the elf bugs. If they catch them, the elf bugs may die?"
Luna looked a little painful, and she stroked the purple elf bug gently with her little hand: "Gujiya..."
Li Qing couldn't help but think of what both Fakusi and Donaldo mentioned, that the radical faction of the Emerald Ring used elves to conduct forbidden experiments.
The elves were the luckiest creatures in this world, born with the ability to seek good fortune and avoid disaster. Luna's coming to ask for help undoubtedly confirmed this.
"Forget it, just leave it with me." Li Qing felt compassion.
Luna smiled happily and gestured with applying jade powder and biting her fingers, indicating that Li Qing should sign a contract with the elf bug.
Li Qingsheng couldn't refuse the request, so he took out a piece of talisman paper, drew the spiritual contract with the blood from his fingertips, and then lit it with spiritual fire.
As the contract spell took effect, Li Qing obtained the fourth elf worm.
But he clearly felt that this water lily elf insect did not have much influence on him.
If compared with Azao and the other two, it was a bit like the difference between a fellow Taoist and a spirit pet, except that compared with a spirit pet, the elves were more similar in mind.
"Forget it, let's change the generation name of the elf worm in the future." Li Qinglue thought about it and decided on a name for the new elf worm, "I'll call you Xiaolian."
The water lily elf Xiaolian nodded ignorantly and accepted her new name very easily.
Although Luna was a little confused, she felt that this new contract ceremony would make her more friendly to the elf bugs, so she smiled happily: "Gujiya."
Li Qing smiled and rubbed her head: "Don't worry, I will take good care of it."
Thank you [Feng Luo Wu] for the 500-point reward. Thank you for your subscription, monthly tickets and recommendation tickets.
(The explanation of why the leader whale does not remove barnacles by itself in the previous chapter has been slightly modified. The general idea is that the "magic beasts" in this world are different from the spirit beasts and demon beasts in the world of cultivation. They only have fixed abilities, but no magical powers, and cannot do delicate work. Similarly, after the leader whale advances, it is only equivalent to half of the foundation-building beast. Its abilities are more powerful, but it is not a true foundation-building spirit beast. The author also has a knowledge barrier, thinking that he has written down everything he thought in his mind, but in fact he has not, so it has caused misunderstandings. If you care about this detail, you can go back and take a look. Sorry.)
