From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 365 Red Flowers, Green Leaves, and White Lotus Roots

Red Island.

Yu Shuyang held the Ganoderma Lucidum Ruyi in his hand and collected the real sand one by one. After several times of setting up formations and refining, the size of the real sand increased slightly.

Because of the earth-piling and formation, the cave has turned into a spiritual sand mine, and a lot of yellow sand and spiritual stones have grown inside. He plans to use the method of moving mountains and carrying water to move them back to Hushan Island.

Looking at the rat skeletons scattered all over the island and the remaining Hehuan Water, Yu Shuyang couldn't help but sigh for a while. The embryonic form of a demon fairy family was destroyed just like that.

He raised the Dongyuan Xuantian flag and urged the weak water snake to swim around the island to eliminate all traces left by Madam Langdu and the Barbarian God Linjun.

At this time, Yu Shuyang calmed down and took stock of his gains. He suppressed Linjun, eliminated the mother mine of divine salt, and obtained the blessing bestowed by the will of heaven and earth.

This source of blessing is equivalent to heavenly merit, which is equivalent to the origin of the purple energy of blessings and virtues. Generally, only the upright and blessed gods can master it.

Unconsciously, he had refined the Three Flowers Secret Art he was practicing using the Yin De Golden Light, the Dao De Mysterious Light, and the Fu De Purple Qi, and all that was left was to water it with essence, energy, and spirit.

The golden light of Yin De turned into a nine-petal lotus, which also gathered the luck of the underworld. The three lotuses were like they were made of pure gold, and they could be said to have both form and spirit.

In comparison, the lotus leaf transformed from the mysterious light of morality was much inferior, just a vague shadow.

He absorbed the mysterious light of morality entirely by relying on the title of the abbot of Tōkaidōin Temple. Therefore, it was not like the Xuanming Netherworld that provided a huge amount of golden light of Yin De.

Instead, the purple energy of fortune transformed from Fuyuan came from behind and turned into a lotus root with three sections, purple skin and nine holes, and its shape had become completely solid.

Yu Shuyang couldn't help but sigh again. The Jindan Dao was stuck in the practice of sexual energy, and he needed to practice the Huangting Dao instead to prolong his life by strengthening his physical body.

However, he didn't expect that the Yuanshen technique had already taken shape without any effort, which really made him laugh and cry.

If he had known this earlier, he should have chosen the upper dantian or the middle dantian when he was concentrating on the acupoint Xuanyuan.

To be honest, his cultivation speed was not slow. It took him only five or six years to go from the ninth rank to the seventh rank.

This is comparable to a miracle for the demon race. Divine beasts like true dragons, phoenixes, and rocs take thousands of years to improve their realm each time.

Even an ordinary monster, such as the king of the nine-tailed fox clan, took an era and a half to break through to the first level. It should be noted that an era is 128,000 years.

Yu Shuyang has always been involved in high-end games, and most of the people he comes into contact with are top-third-grade demon cultivators, which makes him seem too insignificant.

In fact, it is because he is too capable that he can often see through the essence and find the core of all problems.

For example, every time the Emperor of Dongyi took action, he used the art of weaving life. However, Yu Shuyang had never seen the Emperor of Dongyi once. He just saw through the inside story.

This situation has been happening all the time. It was like this when I was in Xiyu Fudi and it was also like this when I was in the East China Sea.

The fundamental reason is that Yu Shuyang masters advanced arithmetic, and often he can detect the root cause behind something by summarizing the clues.

Yu Shuyang had no choice but to let him play dumb. Just like the previous trip to Youdu, in the eyes of Li Zhen, Yao Jihua and Yao Zizhong, it might be a journey of opportunity with great rewards.

Instead, it was Yu Shuyang who directly saw through the plan of the Emperor of Dongyi. The stone man with flying eyes instigated civil strife among the human race. The Baiyi and Quanyi joined forces with the Huaihe River Water Market and invaded the inland of Jiuzhou from the south.

Yu Shuyang stretched out his hand and performed a circular light technique. He looked at the lotus, lotus leaves and lotus roots on the spiritual platform and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

The Taoist Ancestor, the Immortal Ancestor, and the God Ancestor once had a discussion about the Dharma. They talked about the three schools’ different paths leading to the same destination, and used red flowers, green leaves, and white lotus roots as examples.

The ultimate practice of Taoist exercises is to develop into the Yin-Yang and Hun-Yuan categories, and what they always adhere to is that the Great Dao is impartial.

The immortals practice the pursuit of eternity, mostly immortality and indestructibility, and in the end they all want to be in harmony with the Tao and seek the truth, so they are always with the Taoists.

Shinto practice pursues order, mostly in the form of position, authority, and finally it is to obey the will of heaven and use one's body to make up for the heaven, so gods and immortals are in the most harmonious relationship.

Each of the three has its own merits, and none of them can exclude each other. Instead, they can complement each other, just like the red flowers, green leaves and white lotus roots growing at the same time.

Yu Shuyang dispersed the circular light and took the three flowers back into his spiritual platform. The great way of cultivation was the only one. Since he had chosen the golden elixir path, he could not pour his essence, energy and spirit into the three flowers. Then he would never be able to refine the secret technique of the three flowers.

He didn't have anything to regret about this. The practice of the great Dao always involves making choices between the two, and it is impossible to have everything by greed.

After looking at Fuyuan, Yu Shuyang took out the Ganoderma Lucidum Ruyi. Before the death of the Barbarian God Linjun, he released the divine power he had occupied, and two origins flew into the Ruyi.

The two origins are: the birth of the mountain stone of the Cave Barbarian God, which is a kind of stone human authority. In the heavens and myriad worlds, the human race is not all flesh and blood, there are also gold, stone, water, fire and the like.

It is thought that the Cave Barbarian God is one of the earliest human races in Middle-earth, and the Cave Barbarians should be the mixed-race descendants of stone men and humans.

Another origin is to take salt from the water of the Saltwater Goddess. The Saltwater Goddess was originally a water insect in the saltwater. She was worshipped by the tribes living near the saltwater and thus became a god.

The two origins are vaguely connected with the piled earth. The stone man is conceived and refined into the formation diagram. Later, when the formation is activated, the yellow sand can be gathered into a stone man to fight the enemy.

Salt water combined with earth can also turn into salt stone. It is not as powerful as the stone man, but it can refine the earth's energy into salt stone, and it can also refine salt mines.

Yu Shuyang was not in a hurry to deal with the two origins. The core of the Nine-Curve Yellow Sand Formation was the formation diagram and the pile of earth. Adding two origins was just icing on the cake.

Now, the most critical thing is that without the support of the cave barbarians, what should be done with the Huanghai Sea City in the future? Although he plans to refine humanitarian weapons, it may not be completed in a short time.

The most crucial point is whether the cooperation between the two sides will be affected by the thoughts of the Dragon Marquis of Beihai and the Great Temple Priest if they kill Madam Langdu and Linjun.

The Temple of Goods and the Desolate Sea Market are integrated. If the chief temple priest does not cooperate with them, the Menzhou trade route will not be possible. Yu Shuyang's Tai Sui Dragon Temple is in Menzhou.

If they don't do business with the Baiyi people, they can still do business with Cao Xiaoshan.

Thinking of this, Yu Shuyang couldn't help but become alert. Ever since he sealed off the Xuanming Underworld and prevented Cao Xiaoshan from retrieving demons and ghosts from the underworld, he forced them to upgrade the incense altar into a temple.

So much time has passed, and apart from the increase in the power of incense and vows in the divine pupils, the temple has not been built yet. Could it be that Cao Xiaoshan and the others are facing some difficulties?
Without the statue in the temple, Yu Shuyang couldn't even summon the gods. Now, he knew nothing about Cao Xiaoshan and the others.

Just when Yu Shuyang was feeling a little worried, he saw flashes of mysterious light beside him, and a white-nosed golden-haired rat appeared.

This golden-haired mouse is dressed as a bride, wearing a red wedding dress from head to toe. It is holding a basket filled with red dates, longans and lotus seeds, which symbolizes the early birth of a son.

Li Zhen looked at the Happy Rat God and nodded with great satisfaction. With this incarnation, he could use it to cover up his yin debt and reincarnate in the future.

"Cousin, what do you think of my newly refined Happy Rat God?" Li Zhen asked with a smile.

Yu Shuyang opened his divine pupils and could see a brilliant red glow emanating from the Happy Rat. This incarnation of the Happy Rat possessed extremely weak power, simply a wish for many children and grandchildren. "Not bad, the weight is just right," Yu Shuyang praised with satisfaction.

In the Middle-earth world, the power of reincarnation is taboo, otherwise, Yu Shuyang would not have been able to be so cautious all the time. Unfortunately, he was killed by the will of heaven and earth. The Ruomu sacred tree and the Nine-bend Yellow Sand Formation in the underworld are both related to reincarnation.

The Happy Rat God prays for many children and grandchildren, which can only be said to be brushing the edge of the authority of reincarnation and will not provoke the fear of the will of heaven and earth.

"Cousin, now that the black-nosed groundhog has been killed by us, what are your plans for the Huanghai Sea City?" Li Zhen looked at Yu Shuyang and asked.

"Let's not rush this. Let's see how the Northern Sea Dragon Marquis and the chief temple priest react. After all, building a temple for the God of Goods is their job.

From now on, whenever they want to run the Water Market, they will have to deal with Jinlu Island and Hai City, and they will always need your help.

We can make preparations for both situations. You can first open up a trade route to Menzhou. I have several people in Menzhou, and they should have already established themselves.

I don’t know why, but there has never been a temple built for the Tai Sui Dragon God, so I can’t use my sensing skills, and I don’t know what the situation is like now.

If you go to Menzhou, you can go and see what the problem is. This is also a newly opened trade route.

I'm on Hushan Island, trying to figure out how to get humanitarian weapons. We can completely bypass the Huanghai Sea Market." Yu Shuyang said.

To be honest, the Huanghai Sea City did not bring him much benefit. The only benefit was the resources for the God of Wealth, which was only helpful to Li Zhen.

Yu Shuyang is most concerned about Yu's father and mother at the moment. He wants to help them survive the fifth-grade demon fairy calamity and the crisis of Wensi Snake first.

If Yu Shuyang had not been waiting for the black fox Pengwei, he would have returned to Chaoju Island by now. Of course, he was also considering some plans.

Hushan Island, Yatou Mountain and Huxin Island are too far apart, which is not conducive to management. Yu Shuyang had not considered this before.

In order for Yu's father and Yu's mother to break through to the fifth level, they need to refine the earth's energy and open up a blessed land, so they must have something to rely on. Originally, Yu Shuyang planned to let Yu's father and Yu's mother open up the blessed land in Yatou Mountain.

This time, the Emperor of Dongyi was plotting to take over Youdu. At that time, he could have planned to let the corpse-reincarnating immortals and the ascension immortals come out from the Taoliu blessed land.

It can be seen that the Emperor of Dongyi did not consider the safety of Chaoju Island at all. At the beginning, in order to create a crisis, he even abandoned all the ghosts and immortals in the depths of the desolate sea. This shows how cruel and ruthless he is.

Since then, Yu Shuyang no longer wanted Yu's father and mother to stay on Hushan Island. The problem was, where should they move to?

At first, he thought of moving Hushan Island to Qingqiu. In this way, Hushan Island and Huxin Island would be combined into one, and the whole family could be brought there.

Later, the chief temple priest came to discuss the Huanghai Sea Market, and he no longer wanted to move Hushan Island, but instead wanted to move the Lake Heart Island.

Now that the black-nosed groundhog and Linjun had been killed, their cooperation with the chief temple priest had changed, which made Yu Shuyang feel hesitant again.

"Cousin, I don't think there will be any major changes at the Goods Temple. The chief temple keeper won't turn against us because of the black-nosed mole.

Leave this matter to me. I'll go and discuss countermeasures with them. I'll leave the humanitarian weapons and food supplies to you." Li Zhen said with a frown.

Speaking of which, Li Zhen was much more optimistic. He didn't think the chief temple priest would turn against them. After all, without their help, this matter would simply not be accomplished.

Yu Shuyang nodded. He was not too keen on the affairs of the Huanghai Sea City. After deciding these things, he used the method of carrying mountains and carrying water to move the cave.

This magic was taught to him by his junior fellow apprentice Li Taiping, but he was unable to master it at that time. It was not until he comprehended the Hunyuan Qi that he understood the secret.

The underground hole was pulled out by Yu Shuyang like a grass root, and only a small pit was left on Hongchi Island. Yu Shuyang urged the cloud car to carry Li Zhen and returned to Hukou Road together.

This time, there was no need to fly talismans to ask the Golden Tiger to open the door. Yu Shuyang directly activated the formation spirit, and the cloud car passed through the formation and landed on the west bank.

He didn't choose a place, but directly threw the hole in the snake field, which was considered as finding a snake hole for the group of spirit snakes.

Yu Shuyang returned to Hushan Island and went straight to Wufeng Tower. He first asked Jin Hu about it. He and Li Zhen had been away from the island for more than two months, and his plan to meet Uncle Mo was delayed.

Everything on the island was in order and there were not many major events. During this period, Uncle Mo came three times, but did not see Yu Shuyang come back. He left him a message saying that his sixth sister and brother-in-law were coming.

Yu Shuyang's sixth sister joined the Lingzhou Military Office and later fell in love with her sixth brother-in-law in the army. They were only engaged and did not hold a formal wedding.

This time, my sixth brother-in-law and sixth sister came to Donghai, probably to get married, otherwise, they wouldn't have come all the way from Lingzhou.

After all, the sixth sister is different from the second brother-in-law and the second sister. The second brother-in-law separated from the family and brought his whole family from Zhongzhou to join his father-in-law's family. The sixth brother-in-law holds a position in the army and it is impossible for him to stay in Donghai.

Yu Shuyang nodded after listening and asked the bee demon Jinhu to bring the red-haired rat demon over. During the process, he promised He Liuzhi that he would help him to ask for his tribesmen, but he didn't expect that they were all sacrificed by the black-nosed ground rat.

Without waiting a moment, He Liuzhi followed Jinhu and walked over. He had already sensed that the rat nest on Hongchi Island had been destroyed and the clan spirit was scattered.

At this time, He Liuzhi was not so sad. After all, more than two months had passed, and his tears had long dried up. Apart from a little anger in his heart, he had no other feelings.

"Island Master Yu, I know everything."

He Liuzhi said with a low voice.

Yu Shuyang sighed, not knowing how to comfort him. At this time, He Liuzhi's family could be said to be broken up.

"The black-nosed mole has been killed, and all the evil magic arrays on Hongchi Island have been broken. Island Master He can return at any time, so don't feel too bad.

Right now, the Taodushan Islands are very suitable for development. After you return, you can slowly develop it. I think the Red Rat Tribe can be reestablished."

Yu Shuyang also saw what happened to He Liuzhi, so he was worried about Yu's father and mother and wanted to bring the whole family together to prevent them from being assassinated.

Middle-earth is about to usher in a great war, so he has to prepare early. The arrival of his sixth sister and brother-in-law can also help him find out the movements of the five major military headquarters of the human race from the side.

"Thank you, Island Master Yu. Can I ask you what happened on Hongchi Island? I want to know why all my tribesmen died." He Liuzhi asked with gritted teeth.

He could feel the clan spirit dissipating and the rat nest collapsing, but he couldn't sense the specific reason.

Yu Shuyang thought about it, and removed the plan of the Emperor of Dongyi and the matter of the divine salt, and only told He Liuzhi about the matter of the black-nosed ground rat and the barbarian god Linjun.

In order to prevent He Liuzhi from being too sad, he explained to him in detail how the Red Rat Demon was controlled by incense, flowers and candles, and how the Ca Nu Yuan Yang Formation was formed. Unless the Red Rat Clan was wiped out, there was no hope for them.
