If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 465: Finding the Spirit and Catching the Pulse
As Xiaoyu poured the spiritual power of the "Black Fish Dragon King" into the golden carp jade pendant, golden light began to appear at the mouth of the golden carp.

This lasted for about a quarter of an hour. Perhaps because it had absorbed enough spiritual power from the "Black Fish Dragon King", the golden carp jade pendant seemed to come alive and turned into a golden carp, swimming in Xiaoyu's palm.

"Pooh~~" It actually spit out a bubble at her.

The jade pendant was originally very small, and after it turned into a "spiritual fish" it was not big either, so the bubbles it spit out were naturally very small.

But when the small bubble fell into the water, it expanded rapidly. Xiaoyu herself didn't react in time and didn't realize the extraordinary nature of the bubble. Her body had already been filled up by a big bubble.

Uh, the "immortal fate" that Prince Qinghe had been searching for so hard was wasted so worthlessly in a small pond.

"Grandma, why did you spit out bubbles? The bubbles are so big and weird."

Even the little crab beside her felt a flash of light in front of its eyes and fell from the pool into a bubble filled with water.

It was a very strange feeling. The bubble was still full of water, but it felt like it could breathe directly.

Just like on the shore.

"This piece of spiritual jade seems to be a magical tool. It can - uh, the bubbles are only disposable?"

Xiaoyu didn't know the principle, but he intuitively felt the whole process of the golden carp blowing bubbles.

She poured the spiritual power of the "Black Fish Dragon King" into the golden carp jade pendant, which was all absorbed by the jade pendant. Then she triggered a certain "talisman" inside the jade pendant, transforming her spiritual power into a magic spell - the golden carp spitting bubbles.

The "talisman" had a simple structure, but it gave her a very advanced feeling, probably the feeling of simplicity being the ultimate truth.

And this feeling of hers did not come out of nowhere.

When Sister Cui'er taught her the "Precious Scroll of Immortals", she also helped her condense a "Seed of Immortal Scrolls" in her sea of ​​consciousness.

By practicing "The Treasure Scroll of Immortals", the "seed of the Immortal Scroll" will take root and sprout, and grow into a "tree of the Immortal Scroll".

Even though he had never seen the method of becoming a celestial being, Xiao Yu was 100% sure that the "Precious Scroll of Immortals" could not be used to cultivate one into a celestial being.

But it is really "professional" in studying runes and sacred scrolls.

After the bubble was stimulated from the jade pendant, the "talisman" disappeared immediately, so she guessed that the bubble in the golden carp jade pendant was just a one-time magic.

Now, she has complete control over the bubbles.

She had a feeling that the bubble could exist for at least four or five hours.

It was very exaggerated and magical, but in a small pool, bubbles were useless and she simply dispelled them.

The bubbles burst and disappeared silently, leaving only a faint trace of water energy spreading everywhere.

Xiaoyu was a little confused and embarrassed.

She previously thought that the golden carp jade pendant was a magical tool, and as long as she input spiritual power into it, she would be able to stimulate the "mysterious bubble" again.

Now that the bubble was gone, the golden carp jade pendant in her hand was indeed unable to absorb the spiritual power of the "Black Fish Dragon King".

That's all.

But she felt like she wasted the bubbles.

Bubbles must be very useful to "the right people".

Now the Golden Carp Jade Pendant is truly just a piece of spiritual jade that stores magical powers, and it no longer has the magical effect of stimulating bubbles.

The bubbles that the golden carp spit out just now were like a box inside the spiritual jade, sealing up the magical powers recorded in the spiritual jade.

The bubble box contained the secret book and was locked tightly, so she could never read the magical powers in the jade.

"Why did the owner of Lingyu use a big bubble to seal his magical powers?" Xiaoyu was puzzled.

If the big bubble was a killing spell, and if the correct "password" (mental fluctuations) was not entered into the jade, the killing spell would be activated and would plot against the thief who stole the jade's magical powers. She could fully understand that.

First of all, the big bubble now has no lethality. Instead, it is like a protective shield. People feel very safe inside the bubble. Secondly, the big bubble is completely stimulated by the water energy she inputs, and is therefore completely under her control.

The magic that is under her control, even a killing move, cannot be used against her!

As for bubbles being useful to the right people, she really couldn't imagine what use disposable bubbles could be.

"Grandma, do you see the magical power now? What kind of great magical power is it?" the little crab asked excitedly.

It didn't feel anything about the bubble just now.

"Don't talk, don't disturb grandma~~"

Xiao Yu let out a low cry and concentrated on sensing the information in the spirit jade.

Soon a look of disappointment appeared on her face, but after a moment the disappointment disappeared and she smiled again.

"Alas, it's so mysterious that I thought it was some great magical power that could turn rivers and seas upside down, but it turned out to be just a small part of the 'carp turning into a dragon' technique."

Xiaoyu fumbled for the jade pendant and pondered for a while, then sank to the bottom of the pool and stuffed the jade pendant back into the crevice of the stone.

After all, she was not the "destined one" for the jade pendant. She was cheating and using the fake Dragon King's spiritual power to violently crack it.

The process of solving the mystery of the carp jade pendant tonight was full of twists and turns, but in the end it returned to the starting point: the golden carp jade pendant is worthy of its name, and the magical power it records, "finding spirits and catching pulses", is related to carp.

Dragons are natural "water gods" and they will not get lost even if they enter unfamiliar waters.

Because true dragons are naturally able to determine the direction of a river through the water flow and the vital energy in the water.

When a real dragon enters the water, it feels the flow of the water and immediately knows the source and direction of the water. It even automatically builds a three-dimensional network map of the nearby water system in its mind.

In fact, every aquatic creature has the ability to identify directions in water.

Even Xiaoyu, before she awakened the Kunpeng bloodline, was still able to swim freely under the water. She was not like ordinary people who could not tell up, down, left, and right after falling into the water.

When she swims underwater, she can also identify the direction through the water current very accurately and never gets lost.

Even if she entered unfamiliar waters and didn't know the way, she could still get out of the water and remember the way she came.

This wateriness is rare in humans, but it's not unique.

For river monsters, water is even more powerful, such as crabs. Well, the fat grandson is a bit embarrassing. It was lost for eight or nine days on the way to find Grandma Yu.

If he hadn't been quick-witted and knew how to track the river monster, he would have probably been completely lost in the underground sewer and wouldn't have been able to get out at all.

Ordinary river monsters, and even humans with strong water abilities, can identify directions in the water, but their talents are far inferior to those of real dragons.

A true dragon will never get lost in water.

If a carp turns into a dragon, if it transforms from a carp into a real dragon, it must naturally master this talent.

The "Searching for Spirits and Catching Pulses" recorded in the Golden Carp Jade Pendant is a manifestation of this true dragon talent as a minor magical power.

When Xiaoyu first saw this little magical power, he was extremely disappointed.

She went to great lengths to find out that it was related to a real dragon, and she had great expectations.

Of course, such a route-finding "AutoNavi Map" could not satisfy her.

But when she thought about what she was going to do next, she felt excited as if “God is helping me too”.

She will soon enter the sewer to rescue her dried black fish.

In the dense and complex underground water network, finding the pulse and identifying the direction is the most practical skill.

"Fat grandson, you continue to stay in the pool. I'm going to swim in the river by myself!" With the magical power of "finding spirits and catching pulses", Xiaoyu naturally does not need the "lost wayfinding master" to lead the way for her.

If she really relies on her fat grandson, she will probably be trapped in the underground water network for eight or nine days.

"Grandma, please take me with you and teach me how to find spirits and pulses." The crab shouted.

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandma, I am also a beginner, so I can't teach you. I can only pass on my magical powers to you. You should first explore on your own, or watch how grandma practices. No matter what, don't disturb me and don't interfere with my practice."

"I understand. Grandma must learn the magical powers as soon as possible so as to enter the underground water veins to rescue my foster father. I will practice slowly, there is no rush." ​​said the crab.

The next morning, Yonghe Palace.

"I slept very uneasily last night, and I seemed to have a nightmare at four o'clock in the morning. I don't remember what happened in the dream at all. I just felt uncomfortable and my chest was stuffy." Li Rongji said to the Taoist priest with a frown.

In fact, even without him saying it, Master Xiang Tian could see that the prince was not in good condition.

There were obvious bloodshot eyes and dark shadows around his eye sockets.

"Your Highness is worried about the demon cicada." Tianshi Xiang turned his head carefully, glanced at the west window, and said in a lower voice, "I also think it is not right. The demon cicada has bad intentions towards us in Xishu."

Li Rongji paced back and forth in the room anxiously, saying, "Of course I know that Yaochan is the root cause of the chaos in the Thirty-Six Kingdoms, and I know that he has always wanted to destroy Tianmen Town.

But I really can't refuse the conditions he put forward!

I don't have to pay anything. I just need to adopt a neutral attitude of not helping anyone and not hinder the Guan family's plan for Yu Fengxian.

Yaochan promised to leave Xishu. For at least ten years, he and the 'Eight Immortals of the West' would not come to Xishu again, nor would they plot against Xishu secretly.

There is also the Bagua Tianshi Talisman, and he promised to continue the discussion. "

Master Xiang Tian also participated in the negotiations with Yao Chan last night.

He had no trust or good feelings towards Yaochan, but he had to admit that judging from Yaochan's promises and requests, the Li family was definitely not at a loss.

It can even be said to be a huge profit.

Yaochan's promise is not empty words.

He must swear, swear to the Buddha in the name of Jin Chanzi.

In order to show his sincerity, Yaochan swore a poisonous oath last night.

As long as the prince sits quietly in Yonghe Palace and ignores what is happening outside, the oath will take effect automatically.

This kind of oath will probably not be just empty words.

Even if Yaochan broke his oath, the Li family would not lose anything.

The Li family had already cut off ties with Yu Fengxian and would not take the initiative to get involved in her affairs with Yaochan. Before being hit by the iron paddle of "Treading Waves Fairy" Ge Qingyun, the Prince of Qinghe actually had the magnanimity and determination to take on the "Revenge of the Eight Immortals of the West" for Yu Fengxian.

Now the prince knows that he cannot bear it any longer, so he swore an oath on water a few months ago to sever his karmic connection with her.

In short, even if Yaochan did not come to Yonghe Palace to find the prince, even if Yaochan directly showed up in Yingxiang Mansion to seek revenge on Yu Fengxian, the Li family would not interfere.

Unless Yaochan not only wants to kill Yu Fengxian, but also plans to attack Yingxiang Mansion.

The prince tolerated Yu Fengxian countless times because her survival was beneficial to Xishu and the Li family.

But now Yu Fengxian has made it clear that she wants to leave Xishu, and the Li family and she have lost the basis for their shared interests.

The prince no longer had any reason to help her.

Not only did the prince not help her, he also openly expressed his wish that Yu Fengxian would be beaten to death by the demon cicada.

Even the prince himself wanted to kill her.

If Master Xuanyin was willing to help, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might have taken action yesterday morning, after He Xuan was beheaded.

"Your Highness, what are you worried about? Yu Fengxian, Yao Chan, or the Guan family?" he asked Tianshi.

He didn't think the Li family would suffer any losses in this matter.

He just didn't trust Yao Chan and was worried that Yao Chan would do something bad to the prince.

"When Yaochan came to see me last night, he said that Yu Fengxian would die at night, so I did not report this to Luodu.

I thought it was completely too late and had to make a decision immediately.

In the end, nothing happened last night, and Yu Fengxian is still alive, but we don’t know how long she can live.” Li Rongji said irritably.

Master Xiang Tian understood a little, “Your Highness didn’t sleep well last night because he was waiting for the news that Yu Fengxian was killed.

I didn’t get any news, and fell asleep with worry, so I had a bad dream. ”

Li Rongji stopped pacing and said hesitantly, "I have indeed been waiting for news from the Guan family.

The longer I wait, the more irritated I become, and the more uneasy I feel.

But after waking up from the dream, I felt as if I had lost something, and it seemed that "

He felt depressed again, and he shook his sleeves and said anxiously: "Alas, I just want to get a definite news immediately, whether the Guan family can still do it and whether they can succeed."

He said to Tianshi: "Yaochan is in Juxian Pavilion right now. Why not call him over to ask him? If he can't give an answer that satisfies Your Highness, expel him immediately, and the appointment last night will be considered as never having existed."

Li Rongji pondered and said, "Are all my followers here?"

He said to Tianshi: "All the members have arrived in one night, even Wufu Plague Lord and Leng Aotian have been called over.

As long as the demon cicada makes the slightest movement, they will take action immediately.

With them holding back the demon cicada, the three hundred Black Dragon Guards waiting at the West Garden training ground could arrive in an instant and surround the demon cicada.

If necessary, all it takes is one cloud-piercing arrow, and the five thousand soldiers of the North City military camp will surround the Yonghe Palace with their demon-killing heavy crossbows.

We don't have to fight for real, but showing our strength can warn Yaochan not to do anything stupid."

Li Rongji nodded slightly and said, “We just need to show our strength, not really surround and kill him.

Alas, although I am the crown prince, I also understand a simple truth: what Western Shu lacks the least is the 'crown prince'.

Killing me would not cause any fundamental loss to Western Shu, except angering the Li family."

Tianshi agreed with this statement.

If the demon cicada takes the risk of killing the prince, he may succeed.

But the one who suffered the greatest loss, apart from the dead prince himself, was Yaochan himself.

"Old Taoist, are you going to call the demon cicada now?" he confirmed again.

"Don't call him 'Demon Cicada', he is 'Master Jade'." Li Rongji forced himself to regain the calm demeanor of a prince, hiding his inexplicable anxiety and depression in his heart.

He showed an expression of admiration to the Heavenly Master, agreed and left.

After a while, "Master Jade" walked in with a gentle and harmless smile.

After politely greeting each other, he took the initiative to ask, "Your Highness, are you waiting for news about Yu Fengxian? There is news."
