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

Chapter 537: Reappearance of Rare Treasures
Black King Kong pondered and said, "Mother, you need to practice the new immortal technique, and we also need time to switch to the Black Fish Transformation into Dragon Technique. It is no problem to retreat here for a few years or even decades."

He glanced at the demon children and said in a deep voice: "Children, we are no longer the same as we were before.

When we were in Howling Bay, we were in a daze, just eating and waiting to die, living like wild beasts.

The 'Great Way' and the 'Path to Immortality' have never been our destiny.

Now we have met our mother.

We have to pass on the "Black Fish Transformation into Dragon Art", and also have a real dragon corpse for us to absorb the dragon essence.

The opportunity to change your destiny is right before your eyes.

As long as we can endure the loneliness and practice hard in the Water Palace for decades, I dare say that each of us has a chance to form an elixir.

Once the demon pill is condensed, you will become a demon fairy and live for a thousand years easily.

Then we will go out and be king, dominate the Black Dragon River and the Flowing Sand River, and be invincible in the land of Western Shu. That is the real life of freedom and happiness."

"Godfather, you don't have to say anything. We are all willing to follow you and grandma to practice here." The fat grandson shouted.

"Who doesn't want to live forever and become an immortal? Godfather, the Water Palace is grandma's opportunity, but grandma is the opportunity for all of us. We are not stupid." The monsters also echoed.

Xiaoyu nodded slightly. This group of river monsters had experienced a half-year battle royale. Not only had their potential been stimulated, their strength had been transformed, but their minds had also become much more mature.

“You can definitely sense that this water palace lacks everything except water spiritual power.

For you water monsters, there is no place more suitable than this place to practice water magic.

For various reasons, I cannot pass on my newly acquired Taoist skills to you.

But after my realm is elevated, I will definitely improve the "Dragon Transformation Art" for you.

As long as you practice seriously, condensing a demon pill is not a luxury."

To be honest, this place is not suitable for her as a human being to retreat.

Her fundamental method, Tai Chi Changchun Gong, is moderate and peaceful, combining the five elements and yin and yang, and requires pure attributeless heaven and earth energy. The water elemental force is too abundant, which squeezes out other elemental forces and is very unfavorable for her to practice internal skills.

On the contrary, this group of water monsters who practiced "The Art of Transforming into a Dragon" simply came to a paradise for spiritual practice.

Even without the Dragon Transformation Technique, one can become a great demon by instinctively absorbing and exhaling the vitality of heaven and earth for hundreds of years.

"Grandma, since we have decided to stay here and practice in seclusion, should we reclaim this wasteland?
If we don’t plant a few acres of crops, we will definitely face famine next year when the dragon meat is gone.” Xiaolu said.

Xiao Yu looked strange and asked, "Do you know how to farm?"

She felt that she could enter the fasting period before finishing eating the dragon meat.

Fasting does not mean not eating at all, but it means reducing the intake of grains. It is enough to drink some flower dew and eat some spiritual fruits daily.

It just so happens that magical herbs and fruits can grow here.

However, the demon children and grandchildren are all big eaters, so maybe we really need to plant a few acres of land to provide for their daily consumption.

"I know a little bit. When I was still a water snake, I hid on the ridges of the fields and peeked at farmers planting crops." Xiaoqing said.

"I know a little bit too." A toad demon opened his mouth and croaked, "There is a lot of water outside. It's easy to cultivate hundreds of hectares of paddy fields here.

By then, grandma will be a big landlord and we will be tenant farmers.

Grandma sat on the edge of the field, fanning herself to enjoy the cool air, while we went to work in the fields.

But we don’t have any seeds!”

Xiao Yu glanced at the flowers, plants and trees around him and said, "Growing crops does not necessarily mean growing grains.

In the next few days I will check all the flowers, plants and trees in the cave one by one.

Determine which spiritual herbs and fruits are helpful to our practice.

Those that are easy to grow in an environment rich in water element can become our staple food.

Choose the right species and then start reclaiming the land from the edge.”

"Grandma, I think the moss outside the cave is sweet and delicious. We can dig a pond and plant some aquatic plants. After all, we are fish and we like to eat grass." said a fish monster.

"Okay, let's dig a puddle and raise fish. Oh, and grow aquatic plants."

After all, after being chased for so long, they finally reached a safe place and they should have a good rest for a few days.

For example, lie down on the ground and fall asleep immediately.

But Xiaoyu was so excited about his new acquisition of the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts" that he wanted to complete the infrastructure construction immediately - reclaiming wasteland for farming, digging ponds for raising fish, and then shutting himself off from the world outside to meditate in seclusion.

The demon grandsons were a little tired mentally, but not too tired physically. After all, they had been working in three shifts since Xiaoyu improved the Black Fish Dragon Formation.

Grandma Yu was in a good mood, so they perked up and worked diligently under her command.

It took them half a day to clear a five-square-kilometer area of ​​land on the edge of the area where vegetation was sparse.

Thousands of kilograms of licorice and fresh fruits were harvested.

The reason they were able to be harvested so quickly was because Xiaoyu was sure that they were not rare.

They grow more and more luxuriantly in other places, so no one cares about directly harvesting the "magic herbs and fruits" here.

After a cursory inspection, Xiaoyu was a little disappointed.

No one has been here for many years, but it doesn't mean that there are eternal elixirs everywhere.

In fact, spiritual fruits and herbs that are more than five hundred years old are extremely rare.

For example, now, she took out a bright red fruit from the wisteria basket.

The increase in true Qi brought by eating it was not as great as the hundred-year-old red fruit she got from Zhang Renjie's private secret library.

In other words, the red fruit just eaten is less than a hundred years old.

Xiaoyu is estimated to be only about fifty years old.

Although she was disappointed, she could understand it.

She had studied "Herbology" with Min Shenyi and knew that not all magical fruits and herbs could grow infinitely.

Humans cannot live forever, and neither can plants, not even magical herbs or fruits.

When the spiritual power contained in the spiritual fruit is enriched to a certain extent, and the environment in which it grows can no longer provide higher-level heaven and earth energy to allow it to break through the age limit, the spiritual fruit will naturally mature and fall off.

To put it bluntly, time is only a necessary but not sufficient condition for a spiritual fruit to become a "ten thousand year divine fruit".

Take Zhuguo as an example.

If an immortal reclaimed a mountain range, planted red fruit trees on the mountain, and then sealed the mountain for ten thousand years.

What we ended up with was not a mountain full of thousand-year-old red fruits, but only a few surviving red fruit trees.

Even if sunlight, rain, energy from heaven and earth, soil fertility, and life span are all met, it is still not possible to harvest red fruit that is more than a thousand years old.

There are many mysterious elements that are essential but unknown to the average grower.

Thus, the profession of spiritual plant master came into being. Didn't Prince Fu become Mi Bazi's gardener?
However, the cave is humid and has abundant water spiritual energy. There must be spiritual plants that need this kind of environment and have been growing there for tens of thousands of years, or even longer.

Xiaoyu has not gone looking for the eternal elixir for the time being.

Five square kilometers, with more than 7,000 acres of land.

Xiaoyu found that the ground was mostly rocky and had little soil, so there was not much vegetation.

She asked her demon grandson to scrape the soil from other places and pile it in the low-lying areas to make the soil fertile.

It can probably piece together two thousand acres of land.

Including her and the other monsters, there are only fifty-one living people. If the two thousand acres of land are planted with crops, it should be enough for a year's consumption.

What's more, she also plans to dig canals and cultivate moss and aquatic plants, and she can get up to 2,000 acres.

Well, plant crops on fertile land, dig canals and grow moss on rocky land.

The stones that are chiseled out can also be used to build a big house for grandma.

Of course, whether it is two thousand acres of land, a two thousand acres of pond, or a big house, they are all big projects.

Even though the goblin is much more hardworking and far more diligent than the old cow in the village, it would probably still take more than half a month.

It’s impossible to finish it today. Grandma Yu’s cabin was built with cut down trees.

Then she stopped the "infrastructure project" and told them to rest.

She lived in a cabin and they slept outside.

"Mom, can I take them to sleep outside the cave?" asked Black King Kong.

Xiao Yu was surprised and asked, "The cave is so big, why do we have to sleep on the narrow stone path outside?

If you turn over too big, you will roll out and fall into the vortex outside.

Even if it was you, you would be crushed into minced meat in an instant by the huge impact force.

Could it be that you want to go outside and steal some moss?"

"Well, I am indeed a little greedy. I want to eat some moss to relieve the greasiness." Black King Kong smiled awkwardly and explained, "We are all water monsters. Although the cave is humid and full of water spirits, it is dry land after all. I don't like sleeping on it."

Xiaoyu jumped onto the thatched hut and stood on the roof to observe the surrounding terrain.

Finally, she found a shallow pit with low terrain and said, "The water elemental force outside is too violent. If a spiritual power storm occurs, it may really sweep you away while you are sleeping.

You can rest in the cave. I will make it rain and create a mud pond for you. How about you sleep in the mud pit?"

"Mud pits are great! I love sleeping in mud pits the most." Several demon grandchildren said in unison, their faces full of joy.

Xiao Yu looked down at the river monster below and said, "Focus, I will show you the real Black Fish Transformation Dragon Skill."

She jumped forward in mid-air, the Black Fish Dragon Lord God entered the sword bone, and the human body was covered by the Black Fish Dragon Lord God.

"Ang~~~" It expanded into a ten-foot-long black fish dragon, raising its head and making a real dragon roar.

The dragon's power and nature are displayed without reservation.

"Ah, mother, you have transformed into a black dragon!" Black Kong exclaimed.

"If you can reach my current state, you will transform into this. It's not a transformation, it's a black fish turning into a dragon, a complete sublimation of the essence of life.

As for me, I am not a black fish after all, and I cannot truly transform into a dragon. At this moment, I am only simulating the Immortal Martial God."

Xiao Yu used an example that they could understand and explained, "It is similar to the power of the military formation and the collective consciousness of the military formation, which is combined into the 'Black Fish Dragon Military Formation'.

My true qi and sword qi are the power of the military formation, and the Black Fish Dragon Lord God is the will of the military formation."

"Oh, so that's how it is." All the monsters understood.

In order to facilitate the learning of the demon children and grandchildren, Xiaoyu not only explained in detail, but also descended to a low altitude and let them touch the surface of the black fish dragon and intuitively feel the circulation of its true energy.

"Ouch, it hurts, my hands are cut. Godmother, you are not a black fish dragon, you are a sharp sword!" Black King Kong shouted, covering his right palm which was bleeding.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "I am originally a sword. But now I am also a black fish dragon.

Look carefully, the Black Fish Dragon has two great magical powers. First, it can turn its vital energy into rain! "

The black fish dragon hovered in the air ten feet above the ground, with its mouth open, madly absorbing the rich water spiritual energy nearby.

After the water spiritual power entered the body, it was stimulated and released again, transforming into heavy rain.

"Crash~~Boom~~"

There was not only rain, but also dark clouds, and even tiny arcs of lightning flashing in the clouds.

"Oh my God, mother, you can actually make it rain like the Dragon King. Even the old turtle in the Quicksand River can't do that." Black King Kong said in surprise.

"This ability to turn vital energy into rain is the Dragon King's original magical power. However, the dark clouds and thunder and lightning were not there originally. They were added temporarily after I gained some insights from my recent research on thunder and water magic." Xiao Yu said.

Lightning is not just a decoration for showing off.

Lightning can enhance the activity of water energy.

Similar to a catalyst in a chemical reaction, it speeds up the process of converting water energy into rainwater.

"Grandma, the clouds are small, so the rainfall range is also small. How many miles in radius can you make it rain at most?

Can he make it rain all over the county like the real Dragon King?" a demon grandson asked curiously.

"It's not working yet. We can only make half of the city rain."

The Black Fish Dragon God expanded the scope of his patrol, trying to include more open space in the rainstorm.

"Boom, crash~~~" The thunderclouds were bigger, but the rain was lighter than before.

Just as the Black Fish Dragon Lord was displaying his magical powers and swimming freely in the thunderstorm, strange changes suddenly occurred above the cave.

"Buzz buzz buzz~~~" A crack appeared in the sky at the top of the center of the open space, and a huge amount of pure water elemental energy poured down, forming a bright green spiritual energy waterfall.

The Black Fish Dragon God, who was madly absorbing the water spiritual power in the cave, was not careful and ate too much.

"What is this, the water palace control center?"

Xiaoyu couldn't see the scene inside the green spiritual power waterfall, but he sensed that there was a "source of spiritual power" at the top of the waterfall.

It was that source that was constantly gushing out water spiritual power.

The spraying water contained so much spiritual energy that it was enriched into a waterfall of spiritual energy visible to the naked eye.

"Ah, so much water spiritual power, what happened?" The monsters bathed in the pure water spiritual power, feeling so comfortable that their souls almost left their bodies.

In their entire lives, they had never been washed by the spiritual power of liquefied water.

Many river monsters have the urge to sublimate their blood and transform their realm.
