Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 111: The talent of the Basnake is not ordinary, swallowing the river monster to increase the Taoism

I should have thought of it earlier. The talent derived from the ancient demon python cannot be taken lightly.

After reaching perfection, the Elephant-Swallowing Talent unlocks hidden attributes.

It has the function of absorbing moonlight, water essence and other spiritual things, transforming and absorbing them, removing the dross, and leaving behind the purest source of qi from heaven and earth.

If there is any shortcoming in Liu Qing's current practice, it is that the speed of accumulating the source energy of heaven and earth is too slow, which limits the improvement of his Taoism.

The method of swallowing and spitting out the moonlight that I learned from Hong Gu earlier, although as my cultivation level improved, the efficiency of accumulating the source of heaven and earth qi from 2-5 o'clock every night to 3-7 o'clock every moonlit night has improved slightly,

However, compared to the Tao Xing, it is still like an old ox pulling a broken cart, very slow, although there are some treasures from the intelligence box that have been improved.

But all of these depend on good fortune and luck, and the harvest is largely accidental and cannot be regarded as a regular practice, especially when Liu Qing's Taoism has been promoted to the realm of refining qi into spirit.
Every 20 points of Heaven and Earth Source Qi can improve the realm by 1%. Compared with Refining Essence into Qi, the Heaven and Earth Source Qi required is doubled.
It also highlights that Liu Qing is too slow in accumulating the source of energy of heaven and earth, which restricts the improvement of his Taoism.

Now, the talent of swallowing elephants has brought a surprise. It can actually absorb the source of heaven and earth by swallowing moonlight, water essence and other spiritual things.
Although I haven't tried it yet to see how effective it is, just like Professor Hong Gu's method of inhaling and exhaling moonlight, it provides another way to accumulate the source energy of heaven and earth in a stable manner.

Liu Qing was eager to try it out.

Right in front of him was the corpse of the Dou family's fighting fish monster, which was naturally a spiritual object.

Liu Qing opened his mouth and swallowed the hundreds of pounds of fighting fish monster corpse into his stomach.

Then, the great-completion-level elephant-swallowing talent took effect quickly. In just a short breath, he refined the corpse of the fighting fish monster weighing hundreds of kilograms, removed the dross, and purified the source of qi of heaven and earth.

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi +98 points]

The corpse of a great demon in the late stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation can provide enough source Qi of heaven and earth to be equivalent to a medium-grade river treasure.

You know, after the great monsters died, their demonic energy dissipated and their spiritual energy was lost. The fact that they could provide such a large amount of Heaven and Earth Source Qi shows how powerful the Swallowing Elephant talent was after it was fully developed, removing the dross and purifying the Source Qi.

In addition, after the great achievement of his elephant swallowing talent, he could swallow the corpse of a river monster weighing hundreds of kilograms in one gulp, and he finished refining it in just one breath.

Compared with the initial small success, the efficiency has increased countless times.

When he was a monster, he could also devour the monster's corpse to absorb the source of heaven and earth, but the efficiency was too slow. It took him half a day to digest a small piece of flesh and blood. Later, even though he killed the monster by chance, he never thought of devouring it himself.

Firstly, I dislike that the digestion is too slow and wastes time, and secondly, I want to create the creatures in the pond.

But it’s different now. The amount swallowed has increased several times, the digestion speed has increased several times, and he has picked up so many corpses of river monsters. It would be a waste not to use the elephant-swallowing talent to refine them.

Liu Qing wiped his mouth and took out another dozen river monster corpses. He only left the corpse of one river monster that had refined Qi and become a god in his mouth bag, and prepared to absorb and refine the others.

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi +78 points]

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi +66 points]

[Heaven and Earth Qi +131 points].
In just half a cup of tea, the great-level elephant-swallowing talent had devoured and refined the corpses of more than ten river monsters, and a total of 696 points of heaven and earth source energy were harvested.

Among the dozen or so river monster corpses, there was only one King Cotton Snake Monster in the early stage of Spirit Refining Return to Void, two or three in the late stage of Qi Refining Transformation to Spirit, and the others were in the early stage of Qi Refining Transformation to Spirit. Therefore, the source of heaven and earth qi seemed so small.

But Liu Qing was very satisfied. If he waited for the moonlit nights every month as before to absorb the moonlight, it would take years to accumulate so much.

[Source Qi of Heaven and Earth: 935 points] After devouring and refining the corpses of more than ten river monsters, Liu Qing gained so much in total that he added it to his Taoist realm without hesitation.

[Name: Liu Qing]

[Race: Horned Boa]

[Realm: Refining Qi into Spirituality 47%]

[Divinity: Authority 0%, Incense 0.1%]

【血脉天赋：1吞象（大成）；2尾鞭（大成）；3厚甲（大成）；4口囊（大成）；5沸血（大成），6獠剑（大成）】

[Mystical Powers: Water Control (Great Mastery); Water Puppet (Great Mastery); Fragrance Sending (Great Mastery); Hercules (Great Mastery)]

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi: 15 points]

His cultivation level instantly rose to the middle stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation.

The evil spirit in the body condensed into strands, like a snake from the underworld, patrolling the body in groups, then coiled in the meridians, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

The demonic energy was flourishing, and the black mist was shrouding it. Liu Qing had an idea and transformed into a human form. This time, not only his limbs and torso were completely transformed, but also the head of the horned boa constrictor had begun to resemble a human.

However, there is still the single horn on the head and the snake scales on the cheeks, and the vertical pupils in the eyes have not yet completely transformed.

These will almost all disappear after the spirit is refined and the body returns to emptiness, and the appearance will be exactly the same as that of a human.

The corpse of the river monster is an object that contains spiritual charm, but objects with spiritual charm are not limited to the corpse of the river monster. There are also moonlight, water spirits, spiritual energy, and so on.

There was rain but no moon during the Qingming Festival, so Liu Qing decided to try using his elephant-swallowing talent to devour the river water and air.

Water essence melts in water, and spiritual energy exists in the air. It is said that before the Monkey King caused trouble in Heaven, demon cultivators could absorb these two through the collections of "skills, skills, scriptures, and techniques". Now that the collections are cut off, the only way for demon cultivators is to absorb and exhale the moonlight.
But Liu Qing has the talent to swallow elephants, so he tries to open up a new path.

Liu Qing opened his mouth and swallowed, and immediately hundreds of thousands of kilograms of river water were swallowed into his stomach. At the same time, his elephant swallowing talent took effect quickly, and in just a moment's breath,
The water essence contained in the river water is extracted and transformed into the source qi of heaven and earth, and the waste water is discharged from the body.

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi +1]

Although it was only 1 o'clock, Liu Qing's heart was pounding with excitement.

You know, this was achieved by Liu Qing swallowing river water, and it only took a moment to breathe. It represents the completion of Liu Qing's new path.
It also means that in addition to swallowing moonlight, devouring river monsters, and consuming river treasures, Liu Qing has found a new way to obtain the source of heaven and earth.

Moreover, this path, like swallowing and spitting out moonlight, can continue endlessly. As long as there is water in the river, the water essence can be extracted and purified into the source of qi of heaven and earth.

By analogy, after leaving the Jinghe Dragon Palace, I think I can use the elephant-swallowing talent to swallow the air and also extract spiritual energy, and purify it into the source of heaven and earth.

Whether it is river water or air, their sources are ordinary things, even more widespread than moonlight. The moon waxes and wanes, but river water and air are everywhere and at all times.

Liu Qing smiled with satisfaction, feeling that his future was bright and his road ahead was smooth.

This palace has not been searched yet, but there are already so many gains. Liu Qing is delighted and is about to command a few water puppets to open the palace door and go inside to search for treasures.
Suddenly, the talisman of the strong man that had just popped out began to vibrate, and there was a tendency for it to dissipate. Liu Qing's face instantly became solemn.
