From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 20 This is going to be published
After absorbing the essence and blood of a [Golden Spirit Carp], the changes in his body and qualifications were secondary.

The key point is that his body has opened up a magical power called [Gold and Water Mutual Generation].

He originally had a pure water attribute, but now it was mixed with a sharp gold element. Normally, this was not a good thing, as the mixed attributes might affect the efficiency of your cultivation.

But this limitation does not exist for the [Golden Spirit Carp].

Because they are born with the magical power of [gold and water coexisting], the two are perfectly integrated. Not only are there no obstacles, but they can coexist harmoniously and promote each other, making the absorption of spiritual energy faster. At the same time, it can also be added to a series of water-attribute spells to make them more powerful.

You Ming had just tried [Tide Breaking Waves]. Previously, he could only create a small hole in the wall, but now it had multiplied several times. That touch of golden power made the weak water flow sharp and dangerous.

"That's great."

The little carp could not hide the excitement in his eyes.

Although spiritual practice requires a certain level of cultivation, if one's level of protection is not high enough, one will not be able to escape the calamity.

If he had the magical power of [Gold and Water Mutual Creation] before, he would have defeated the human cultivator long ago when he was in the Small Spirit Realm.

Very good, the bloodline has been upgraded, so the next step is to temper the mysterious light.

Of course, if you have resources, you should use them quickly. You can't leave them for those chosen by destiny to get equipment.

As You Ming opened his mouth and spit, a pile of shining crystals immediately appeared on the ground, and the entire cold pond was filled with rich water vapor.

Three hundred and twelve low-grade Mysterious Water Essences, thirty-seven mid-grade Mysterious Water Essences, nineteen high-grade Mysterious Water Essences, and...

A small porcelain bottle.

This small bottle was the "treasure" that popped out when he defeated Li Zhengyuan. He was so focused on cheering for victory that he didn't carefully check what it was.

The little carp turned the bottle over and over. The surface of the bottle was glowing with a jade-like fluorescence, and covered with layers of fine textures. It looked like it must be worth a lot of money.

This shouldn't be a medicine bottle. If it were, it should have a stopper, otherwise the medicinal properties would dissipate.

Could it be some magic weapon?
At the bottom of the bottle, there was a character engraved in the style of Tianshu Chongzhuan. Unfortunately, the little carp was illiterate in this regard and he could not recognize what the character meant.

"Om."

But just as he turned the bottle over and accidentally pointed the bottle mouth at the mysterious water essence all over the ground, suddenly, a strong suction force came from the bottle and instantly sucked away all the mysterious water essence.

"I rely on!"

You Ming was shocked. I worked so hard to get the essence of Xuanshui. This is the treasure I use to refine Xuanguang, and you didn’t leave me any?

"Spit it out now!"

He turned the bottle upside down and swung it back and forth, but he slapped the bottom of the bottle desperately, trying to shake out the essence of the mysterious water.

But what made him feel terrified was that although the bottle had no stopper, the inside of the bottle mouth was like a black hole that only allowed water in but not out, and not even a drop of the essence of the mysterious water could be thrown out.

He silently chanted a spell in his mind, and streams of water flew out, entwining around the bottle like a python.

"Squeak."

The water flows that were strangled in all directions seemed to have really turned into golden pythons under the blessing of the magical power of [Gold and Water Mutual Generation]. Their dense scales were as sharp as knives, and they were going to strangle and clamp all the lives they entangled to death.

However, the bottle remained motionless.

"Boom."

You Ming used all his strength to suck milk, but the bottle didn't even show any sign of bending. After struggling for a long time, the little carp sat down on the ground, his face pale.

The essence of the mysterious water that I worked so hard to earn is now gone?

"No, there is still a chance. Lord Qinglian hasn't left yet. I'll ask her for help!" You Ming suddenly thought of something. He seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. With the power of a fifth-grade god, he should be able to open this bottle.

He was about to dive into the cold pond and head to the county government office, but suddenly, the bottle shook slightly, and a huge force came, which directly shook it away.

"Crash."

The surrounding void seemed to twist, and the gravity suddenly increased several times. The entire surface of the cold pond seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, and continued to sink.

You Ming was trapped in the water and was pressed to the bottom, unable to move at all.

His face was full of horror. What on earth was this bottle? Why was it so scary?

"Click."

Just as he was trembling with fear, the fine cracks on the bottle suddenly expanded, and it suddenly broke apart and fell to the ground.

And in the void, a dark black, round water droplet was suspended in the void.

……

"You said you lost the [Wuji Bottle]?"

Almost at the same time, Li Zhengyuan's face turned pale. He was at a loss and could only tell his master about the opportunity he had accidentally obtained.

His master, Taoist Qingfeng, is the abbot of Mingyue Temple in Yong'an Prefecture. He has reached the fourth level of [Observation] and is a top-notch master who has surpassed the Yin God. He is also a well-known figure in Bingzhou.

"I... I, your disciple, don't know either. I just participated in a small spiritual realm. I thought it would be unsafe to keep such a treasure elsewhere, so I brought it with me. I thought that after obtaining the essence of Xuanshui, I would directly refine it into Taiyuan Heavy Water and step into Xuanguang in one fell swoop."

"I didn't expect that after I was defeated by the carp, I turned around and found that the [Wuji Bottle] was missing."

Li Zhengyuan's mind was also confused, because it was his consciousness that entered the small spiritual realm, not his real body. How could the bottle be lost?

Could it be that someone took away his bottle while his consciousness was out of his body?

"Shinto! It must have been done by those Shinto people. They saw how prosperous our Xiandao is now, and they are extremely jealous. This time, by stealing my Wuji Bottle, they not only get the treasure, but also weaken my luck."

The expression on Li Zhengyuan's face was a little distorted.

"Meditation!"

Taoist Qingfeng looked at Li Zhengyuan with a somewhat vicious expression, and shouted, but it was like the sound of a huge bell, instantly suppressing Li Zhengyuan's growing evil thoughts.

"Now the killing calamity is about to begin. All things are within it. If you lose sight of your true nature for the sake of temporary gains and losses, then even the greatest fortune you possess will ultimately be nothing but ashes beneath the killing calamity."

"We must strive for immortality in the Dao, but what we strive for is eternal life, not the petty calculations of the present moment."

"It's up to you to figure out how to balance the gains and losses."

Taoist Qingfeng tapped Li Zhengyuan's head lightly with the jade ruyi, then walked away.

Li Zhengyuan knelt in the Taoist Hall and remained silent for a long time.
