Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 1222 A Thousand Strands of Breath, Blessing Perfection (Seeking Monthly Tickets, Two Chapters Combined)

"Quickly, let's go up the mountain and see the magnificent scenery."

"Don't go up the mountain, don't go up the mountain, there are too many people up there, there's no room to stand, you'll be covered in sweat."

"Fireworks on water? How are those set off?"

"Outside, thousands of lights are twinkling, fireworks are dazzling, and our contestants on both sides are also in full swing..."

The river wind was strong, but the surface of the Jianghuai marshland was calm and smooth, like a silver mirror.

The ground was brightly lit, the stars were dim, and the circular screen on Yingchun Tower shone brightly. Xu Zishuai's commentary was passionate. Fireworks like chrysanthemums bloomed in the night sky, and the sky and water were simultaneously illuminated by orange light. The burning sparks fell like flower petals.

The lamp tree has thousands of light, and the flowers bloom with seven branches.

Leaning against the high building, watching the fireworks and gazing at the mountains and sea, Liang Qu held the book in his hand, occasionally lost in thought, seemingly multitasking. Long Eying immediately guessed what was going on: "What? Are you going to see that girl again tonight?"

Liang Qu answered with distraction, reviewing official documents and appropriations, and stamped his seal: "Thirty years old, still young... cough cough, yes, a young girl in her prime. She is already in the mid-stage of the Tiger Hunting Realm and is preparing to plant her second supernatural seed. It's quite crucial. The Insect Valley Festival is coming up soon. If she does well, she might be able to help Awei advance to the second realm of Great Demon."

Long Eying exclaimed in surprise: "It's only been a few months, right? And you've already planted a second supernatural seed?"

Liang Qu nodded: "The Gu insect technique in the Southern Frontier is indeed unique, otherwise it would not be so distinctive. But the fact that it can be done so quickly is due to the right timing, location, and people. It is difficult to replicate. Besides, I have been so busy in my fiefdom recently, but I have not neglected it. It is only natural that it can be done this way."

Once the River God Festival began, Liang Qu worked around the clock, almost completely giving up sleep and rest. During the day, he oversaw all projects within his fiefdom, handling all matters, big and small, including theft, robbery, transporting supplies, and managing the program. Even with the time efficiency set to the highest level, he still felt there wasn't enough time.

Many projects lacked manpower for management, so everyone around them had to help out. Eying became a full-time secretary, Hedgehog became the accountant and project manager, and when they couldn't plant trees or do greening, Fatty's fists started a massive construction project...

Despite being so busy, he never forgot the grand plan for the Southern Frontier. When the nights were less hectic, he multitasked with two things: [Spirit Descent] into the Southern Frontier, spending several hours improving the cultivation of the Holy Maiden of Qingwen Valley. This was even a rare moment of relaxation for him.

"Yes, we should go. 'The Master accumulated knowledge, and daily he learned what he lacked, so as to attain virtuous character. If he returns halfway, how is it different from cutting this woven cloth?'"

"Accompanying the Holy Maiden in her cultivation is for the grand undertaking of the Southern Frontier; how can it be neglected because of a fireworks festival? My husband has always been a man of great things..." Long E'ying looked up at the sky, her black hair flying, sparks flashing in her pupils, "I'll be fine at home alone."

"What are you saying! What kind of talk is that!" Liang Qu's brow twitched, pulling him back to his senses. "A little girl is not as important as half a toenail of the madam. What's wrong with ignoring her for a while? Come on, let's watch the fireworks and ignore her."

"What should we do? I am already content. Let's go back quickly."

"Alas... I will no longer wear my silk robe, I will wash away my makeup before you, and look up at the birds in flight, all of them soaring in pairs..."

"It's enough that I've accompanied you this far, really, don't delay that young lady's cultivation..."

"The woman in charge of managing the household is only responsible for the etiquette of wine, food, and clothing..."

"Hahaha, powerful! Powerful! Powerful! The power is surging out! Huh, what happened? Is the King gone? Really gone? No, Pip! Is the King still there?"

"Whoosh! Here it comes again! Haha, awesome! Almost full, huh? Your Majesty?"

"Wu, are you really back? Again and again! I'm getting into it, just a little bit more! Just a little more! Ah!!! Damn it, just a little bit more, what's wrong with me today? If it's good, it's good, if it's not, it's not good, why is it going on and off like this?"

Li Xianghan went berserk indoors, pounding her fists on the floor.

He's being so indecisive, is he deliberately teasing her?

Lai Yi-lin, who was concerned about the saintess's spiritual practice and always paid attention to her vital energy, was also puzzled.

Why is the girl's cultivation going in fits and starts today? Could she be going into a qi deviation?

I'm worried.

Inside the room, Li Xianghan's aura surged once again, and this time it did not fall back down, but instead reached a peak.

"boom!"

A powerful surge of air pounded against the doors and windows, causing the window paper to bulge and the wooden window frames to rattle and creak. The scorching heat made the room feel like a giant furnace, the temperature inside even hotter than in the sweltering summer heat outside.

"Hahaha! I've become the Holy Maiden! I've become the Holy Maiden!"

Laughter echoed, startling the bats in the jungle into flight.

The Qi and blood circulate, completing several cycles, and a warm, baking sensation spreads throughout the body.

The second Azure Dragon's eyes emitted a faint red light, exuding boundless power!
The mouse on the bookshelf wiped away its sweat, breathed in the fresh air from the window, rallied, swayed its tail and danced around like a cauliflower, kicked open the sugar jar, and shared the maltose, celebrating its master's success in cultivation and advancement to a higher level.

Li Yilin breathed a sigh of relief and went back to her room.

"Wow, that feels so good!"

Spreading her legs wide, Li Xianghan, ignoring the sweat, stretched and lay down on the ground, her toes spread wide.

Although I don't know what happened today, and the process was intermittent, from the beginning to being trembling with fear, to now being at peace, I have finally "lived up to expectations." Under the leadership of the Great Shun Huai King and the Six Realms Heavenly Dragon, my cultivation level has risen like a cannonball, and I have successfully planted the second supernatural seed.

There are absolutely no bottlenecks!

Who cares about the impending catastrophe? Those who are open-minded will enjoy the benefits first.

Now, facing the Worm Valley Festival head-on, they are eager to fight and sharpen their knives at the Holy Maiden!
There has been no news yet about Yun Qianlan and Yu Aoshan planting a third one. As expected, the three of them are currently at the same level, with their strengths almost touching. However, she has Tianwu, and Tianwu has Huaiwang!
Without the older generation of Zhenxiang, she is invincible among the new generation of saintesses.

If you don't make a sound, you will be a big surprise when you do.

This immense wealth ultimately fell into the hands of Li Xianghan!

"Sometimes I really envy you." The centipede, with its segmented limbs, gazed at the starry sky with a melancholy look. "Eat your fill, sleep your fill, eat your fill, and then cultivate. You're as carefree as a pig. I wish I could be like that. But every day when I open my eyes, I see the food and drink of millions of people. The pressure of being a Martial Saint."

Li Xianghan: "?"

Are you swearing? Damn it, a 28-year-old Martial Saint envies a 30-year-old mid-stage Tiger Hunter, right? I'm asking you, are you?
Li Xianghan gritted her teeth: "Prince Huai is busy with countless affairs every day. He works hard and is busy governing the people. Of course, he is tired."

"Good to know." Tianwu turned around. "I've been very busy these past two days and haven't had time to come and help you with your cultivation. You should focus on consolidating your realm. Don't forget to cultivate the other Gu worms besides Awei. The Gu worms of the Southern Frontier are strange and have their own advantages."

"Even if we replace them all with water-type plants for Awei to eat, we still need resources to cultivate them..." Li Xianghan muttered.

"Ok?"

"Yes, yes, definitely!"

"Hmph! The reason you don't have enough resources to cultivate water beasts is because you're not working hard enough. If you went to the Triangle Zone and ambushed and looted the corpses of Southern Border Gu Masters every day, wouldn't you have enough resources?"

"?" Li Xianghan shrank back. "We're all from the same clan..."

"How do people like you still care about this?"

"..."

what! ! !
Li Xianghan, a small figure, covered her head.

What do you mean by "I don't care"?
"People are dead, but money is alive. If people don't die, how do you make money? If you can't rob and kill, then go and fight, gamble with others. Don't people usually provoke you? Don't people look down on you? Don't people despise you? Things change, so slap them in the face!"

Li Xianghan shrank back: "There are basically none in the village. I am, after all, the Holy Maiden. There are those who provoke us outside the village, but they are just subtle, sarcastic remarks. Those who are not smart enough won't understand, and even if they do, they can't do anything about it. I've never encountered anyone who is openly provocative..."

The centipede rested its limb on his chin: "Strange, is this how the script is written? Isn't it a bit too much of a brotherly affection?"

Li Xianghan couldn't help but remind him, "Your Majesty, you should read fewer storybooks..."

"Hmm?" With its limbs crossed, the centipede raised its body.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Xianghan said like a chick pecking at rice. "If they don't come, I'll go myself!"

"You are a promising young man. Tell me, have you made any moves in Jiuzhaigou, Southern Xinjiang recently?"

Li Xianghan was torn by her inner turmoil, her face contorted in pain.

really.

An unavoidable part of the process. Before, it was just about seizing resources; now, are we going to start becoming traitors in the southern borderlands? I'm torn.

Those who are open-minded first will enjoy the benefits first!
"I haven't heard much about any major moves, but it seems like the villages to the north are quite short of long-lasting energy? Several of their direct descendants are geniuses who have completed the two steps of hunting tigers and are only missing the energy to consume, but they are stuck with long-lasting energy for several months. I've never heard of such a thing before. At most, one or two people are dissatisfied with long-lasting energy, but the rest have been stockpiling it one or two years in advance."

In the past six months, many villages have been searching far and wide for experts to divine the workings of heaven and earth, sending people to collect their divinations, which has led to numerous conflicts. Oh, by the way, the chieftain knows that various tribes lack vital energy, so he is also collecting it, planning to offer ten strands as rewards during this year's Insect Valley Festival, with three grades: superior, middle, and inferior.

“Your chieftain is quite clever. If you don’t take this opportunity to bring it out, you’ll be even less able to convince the people.”

"what?"

"It's okay, you go do your thing."

"Oh."

Undoubtedly, the aftermath of the battle between the white ape and the dragon has not been eliminated.

Although the disappearance of the long qi was ostensibly unrelated to the chieftain of the Southern Frontier, it was a coincidence that it occurred at the same time as the white ape killing the Pantong Dasha. The sporadic losses before also occurred during the confrontation in Lingnan. The various villages would definitely attribute this loss to the chieftain's strategic decision-making errors, and they would be full of resentment. To appease the resentment of the villages, they would have to pay real money.

Liang Qu currently possesses four strands of Xuanhuang (a type of celestial energy), one strand of Crimson Qi, and, combined with the ten strands from the Insect Valley Festival, a total of fifteen...

[Owner of the tripod: Liang Qu]

[Refine Ze Ling: Great Sage Water Ape (Deep Orange)]

[Ze Ling's Favor: Martial Arts Divine Realm Level 6 (River Lord Emperor); Yinglong Pattern: Level 6; Tianwu Yu Pattern: Level 2]

The sixth plus the seventh equals thirteen.

The leader of the river can be promoted two ranks in a row!

As the River Lord improves, the feedback speed of the Ze Ling will inevitably increase. The water level difference of a perfect Ze Ling is at least four or five hundred times that of the Root Sea. Currently, it is normal cultivation, which is one time every three months. With the addition of two times the talent, it may be able to reach the level of natural cultivation, which is three times per month!

A thousandfold increase in the root sea is just around the corner.

It could even exacerbate the conflict between forces in southern Xinjiang.

Ten wisps of long breath are nothing, but their sudden disappearance means the chieftain's appeasement plan has failed, and mutual trust will be lost again. Jiuzhai suspects the chieftain's insincerity, while the chieftain suspects Jiuzhai of secretly stealing the long breath to establish his authority. Just thinking about it is exciting.

The only problem.

"The spirit cannot descend upon the cauldron; it cannot contain the long qi..."

Liang Qu was troubled.

He is "Stone in the River," and his true form cannot come to the Southern Frontier. The [Spiritual Beast] cannot directly and freely pick him up.

A mediocre first place result?

Or should we skip the proper procedures and cooperate with the old toad to find an opportunity to steal it directly?
"The boat will straighten itself when it reaches the bridge, and the car will find a way when it reaches the mountain." Liangqu temporarily put aside the problem and asked about something else.

Have you ever heard of "the long-lasting breath of sweet dew"?

“Sweet dew?” Li Xianghan pondered. Leaking secrets was like having a stomachache and going to the toilet; once the pudding came out, all that was left was a torrent of relief. “I think I heard my grandmother mention it once. She said the chieftain had given an order to collect a certain kind of long-lasting energy. I don’t remember the name, but I vaguely remember it being a water-related element, with a name that sounded damp.”

"do not remember?"

"That happened a long time ago..."

"How long exactly?"

"It's been more than ten years, hasn't it? I was only a teenager. It seems that Qingwen Valley sent them every year. My grandmother escorted them once, and that's when she came back and told me about it."

For more than a decade, Qingwen Valley has been supplying goods every year.
If all the villages in southern Xinjiang were like this, one would accumulate hundreds of strands of hair a year, right?
Liang Qu's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered the source of the Thousandfold Root Sea Method: the Thousand Threads of Long Qi Method!
Collecting a thousand strands of the same kind of long energy has a chance to directly attract scattered rules and complete the completion!
Previously, there were also acts of blood sacrifice to the people of the Great Shun Dynasty, suspected to be collecting nectar to prolong life...

"Southern Xinjiang has always wanted to create a fake dragon. The start of the plan is unknown, but it has been at least ten years. Previously, Pandong deliberately created sweet dew long qi. Is it because they want to use the skill of grinding water to gather a thousand strands of the same long qi, combine them into a water-attribute fruit, let the fake dragon refine it, and then create a great flood to expand the scale of the Lu Cang River, thereby achieving their goal?"
For over a decade, Jiuzhaigou has been collecting them, and their stockpile is at least a hundred strands. If only they could all be snatched…

Liang Qu felt a surge of excitement; the thought of that quantity almost made his mouth water.

The favor of the chieftain of Sichuan, who is dozens of layers deep?

Directly connect the potential difference between Ze Ling and the main body, complete the reverse infusion of cultivation, and achieve a root sea several hundred times larger?
bad thing.

Li Xianghan subtly raised the corner of her eye as she observed Tianwu, sensing something amiss.

Why did Tianwu look so thoughtful and rather pleased when he said a few words that didn't seem like important intelligence?

Will it leak any major secrets?

Life has just started to improve; I don't want to become a traitor to southern Xinjiang...

The little man rolled around, clutching his head.

Tianwu lowered his head and straightened his limbs: "You, find a chance to ask your grandmother what exactly this long-lasting energy is, whether she knows where it is stored, and how much stock she has."

"Your Majesty, this is something you shouldn't do..."

"You have to take it whether you want it or not! If you do this well, I'll reward you handsomely! I'll even help you perfect your Qi in the future!"

"Ok."

Li Xianghan gritted her teeth and secretly mustered her courage.

Those who are open-minded first will enjoy the benefits first!
……

The festival is held every three days. In Yixing County, the sixth day of the sixth lunar month is the Dragon Head Festival, and the festival proceeds down the ranks, attracting worldwide attention.

However, it's just one step away from reaching one hundred!
Blessed with perfect happiness.

Will there be a transformation?
