Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 136: God-killing Rewards Authority Gold, Snail Shell Storage Contains Tendons

Liu Qing had also seen this type of water nematode in the Snake Pond, but because it resembled an earthworm, it often attracted countless fish and shrimps to compete for food when it appeared, making it very rare.
However, there are a huge number of water nematodes in this aqueduct, floating densely in the shallow water of the aqueduct, almost dyeing the entire ditch red. If someone with trypophobia sees this, his scalp will probably tingle.

Hong Gu sprayed out the divine jade scepter that was nurtured in her Yang Shen. When the jade scepter came out, one end pointed towards the ditch and trembled continuously.
This means that the "Red Cloud God" is in the water.

Without the Dao, he proclaimed himself a wild god. At best, his highest level of Dao was only Lianxu Dao. Liu Qing's body skills were not inferior to Lianxu Dao. Hong Gu was even more powerful and upright. She was a Taoist immortal.

Even the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast that served as their mount had reached the realm of refining emptiness and merging with the Dao, so for the three of them to come and capture the Red Cloud God in the water was simply overkill.

At the moment, I am too lazy to make any pre-war plans, so I just rush in.

The ditch water was black and smelly. Liu Qing was unwilling to go into the water, and Hong Gu didn't want to be smelly by the ditch water, so she sent the water boy to drive the Red Cloud God out of the water.

Liu Qing and Hong Gu moved and jumped off Shui'er's back. Then they stretched out their hands and summoned clean river water from the Lingbao Dragon Palace. They controlled it under their feet, supported their bodies, and hid aside to watch Shui'er catch the monster.

Shui'er frowned and came to the surface of the ditch unwillingly. He shouted and stomped his front hoof on the water.
The innate ability to control water, along with the mysterious light of the ability, extended out, and suddenly the water in the ditch churned and rose upside down, like a black belt, being pulled into the air by the water.

Liu Qing was shocked. Shui'er was indeed very experienced. He used the same water control ability, but it was not as powerful as Shui'er. He actually pulled the water in the entire ditch into the air.
He is worthy of being an immortal in his prime. Even though his cultivation has not recovered yet, his methods are still very powerful.

A giant red nematode, no thicker than a bowl, blood red all over, covered in sticky body fluids, but more than ten feet long, suddenly emerged from the water.

It hissed sharply, opened its huge mouth at the front, and inside it were densely covered fangs, like a man-eating monster.

"Where did this little demon come from, daring to disturb my sweet dreams?"

The guy who calls himself the Red Cloud God, but is actually a red nematode monster, rolled his two small eyes on his forehead. Although he was shouting loudly, he was already looking for a way to retreat.

Liu Qing felt the energy. This red nematode monster was only at the initial stage of Lianxu Hedao. Shui'er alone could easily defeat it.

Not to mention that there were two of them, Hong Gu and I. It was also a discerning person. As soon as it came out of the water, it realized that things were impossible and thought about escaping.

Seeing this, Hong Gu glanced at it with disdain, and then a divine light appeared around her body. She appeared in front of the red nematode in a flash, and her fist burst out with dazzling power and authority, and she punched it from a distance.

Not daring to get close for fear of dirtying her hands, Hong Gu punched out, and the power and authority enveloped in her fist roared out of her body and fiercely penetrated the body of the red nematode demon.

Puff, the red nematode monster screamed and spat out monster blood, and was blown away and fell to the ground on the shore.

"A mere cultivator of the Void Merging Dao dares to call himself the River God? He even devours the people and demands human sacrifices. He's simply courting death!"

Hong Gu shouted coldly, dressed in red clothes and red armor, with a golden light of power surrounding her body. She looked down from above, showing the majesty of the righteous god.

Liu Qing thought that the red nematode monster would surely die under the influence of this divine power, and habitually wanted to pick up the corpse, but unexpectedly, the red nematode monster, which had collapsed on the ground with a huge bloody hole on its body,
Suddenly, the strong demonic energy trembled, and the body was split into two parts at the wound. Then blood exploded, and the two parts of the body rose up, opened their mouths and bit towards Liu Qing.

Liu Qing waved his hand and released two water shields to block the red nematode's mouthparts. The red nematode monster smiled grimly, and its body, which had been split into two, broke in the middle again, becoming four.
Without stopping, four became eight, and eight became sixteen. In just a few breaths, it was broken into sixty-four small red nematodes, and each one had eighty percent of the strength of the original body.

Liu Qing exclaimed in surprise. He never thought that this red nematode monster had such outstanding talent. It was really enviable.

"Xiaoqing, please get out of the way quickly and let me take it!——"

Perhaps worried that Liu Qing couldn't resist the red nematodes, Hong Gu anxiously warned her. Liu Qing turned around and smiled, "Don't worry, sister. I can handle it."

I can't lose face in front of my sweetheart.

Liu Qing opened his mouth and sprayed, and the Yin Yu Ling Banner flew out, instantly swelled up in the wind, and turned into a three-meter spiritual banner, standing in front of the red nematode, as if to bury it.

Evil spirits arise, cold winds blow, demons and ghosts appear, and ghosts cry and gods howl.

There is no need to use the two real dragon spirits of the Old Jing River Dragon King and Long Po. Only the Yin Spirit of General Tuo leads a group of river monsters and ghosts, and the residual soul dragon evil spirits.
They rushed forward and each passed through the clones split out by the red nematode. When they returned, each of the residual soul dragon evil spirits and demon ghosts held a piece of soul fragment in their hands.

Dozens of clones of the Red Nematode Monster instantly collapsed to the ground without a sound.

The yang spirit soul of the red nematode that had transformed from the void into the Tao was pulled into the Yin Yu Ling Banner. The Yin Yu Ling Banner's precious light shook violently, quickly erasing its mind, intending to add another puppet.

Perhaps knowing it was doomed, the red nematode's yang spirit didn't resist, instead sneering at Hong Gu and Liu Qing. "You accuse me of treasonous worship of a lewd god, yet you don't realize that power is hard to come by, and the path to immortality is cut off. I don't want to be a god of incense at the mercy of others, so I've decided to proclaim myself the River God, enjoying my freedom for as long as I can—"

"They are allowed to confer gods in heaven, but I am not allowed to confer them myself. The governor can set fires, but the people cannot light lamps? What's the logic behind this?"

"I won't even wag my tail and beg for mercy. I'll just declare myself the River God. If I die, I'll die. At least I'll have a good life, and it won't be in vain for all my hundreds of years of cultivation. Haha, haha—"

The Yin Yu Ling Banner wiped out the mind of the red nematode demon, but the wanton and arrogant roar still echoed in Liu Qing's ears.

After a while, Liu Qing finally came back to his senses. He pursed his lips and said nothing as he watched the black water falling back into the ditch.
Then he wiped the water spirit bead on his forehead and used its water purification function to refine the black ditch water.
Soon, the ditch water became clear and the stench dissipated. At this point, the mission of killing the Red Cloud God was successfully completed.

In order to avoid waste, Liu Qing endured the slippery mucus on the body of the red nematode monster and swallowed all of its more than sixty clones into his mouth sac in one gulp.

When it comes to improving my strength, a little bit of disgusting mucus is nothing. When I get back, I will swallow it and refine it to purify the source energy of heaven and earth.

The jade scepter in Hong Gu's hand trembled, and a gold ingot squeezed out from the golden light.

"I completed the mission and received a reward, but it was a bit stingy. It was just a mere ingot of authority gold, only fifty taels."

Hong Gu curled her lips. Back then, the old Dragon King helped her to gain power and he gave her millions of power gold with a wave of his hand.
Now it's only fifty taels, so naturally I don't look down on it.

Hong Gu looked down on it, but Liu Qing took it very seriously. He quickly treaded on the water and looked at the bright yellow gold ingot, asking:
"Sister, please tell me in detail where this power gold came from."

"Authority Gold is a product nurtured by heaven and earth. It is neither a river treasure nor a heavenly spirit. Wherever there is authority from mountains and rivers, Authority Gold can be born."

"Unlike incense silver, which requires the power of prayers and sacrifices from the people to transform incense into silver, and is an acquired thing, this power gold is innate."

"I'm still unsure how the authority of mountains and rivers produces authority gold, but I do know that this authority gold can be used as an aid to achieving the fusion of authority with the Dao. When good fortune arrives and one finds the authority of mountains and rivers, if one wishes to achieve fusion with the Dao and become a god, one must have sufficient authority gold. The divine fire of authority ignited by the gold will help refine the authority and ultimately achieve fusion with the Dao."

"When my sister first gained the Dao authority, it was my father who gave her one million authority golds so that she could achieve the Dao and become a seventh-rank god."

Liu Qing draws inferences from this: "One million authority golds can equal a seventh-grade authority god. Similarly, one hundred thousand can equal an eighth-grade authority god. Ten thousand can equal a ninth-grade authority god."

Hong Gu nodded: "Perhaps that's the case. So, Xiaoqing, if you want to gain the authority of the Hedao in the future, you must start accumulating authority gold from now on."

Hong Gu handed over fifty taels of gold, and Liu Qing did not refuse. He took it and put it in his pocket, intending to study it more after returning.

I don’t know if this authority gold can be refined into the authority divinity. When the authority divinity reaches 100%, can it automatically evolve into the authority priesthood like the divinity of incense?
Liu Qing lowered his head in thought. Hong Gu thought Liu Qing was worried about accumulating power money, so she waved her hand and said proudly:
"Don't worry, when that day comes, Xiaoqing, you find the authority over mountains and rivers, and need to use the authority of Jinhedao, then leave it to me to handle."

"My sister's family probably has quite a bit of authority money, enough for you, Xiaoqing, to not have to worry about it."

Well, before we knew it, Maggie Cheung was showing off her wealth again.

But since he was born in the East China Sea and his family is rich, he is probably destined to live off her.

The evil demon was killed, the river water was purified, and the mission was completed. Liu Qing and Hong Gu were about to leave. At this moment, the illusory treasure box in front of them suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light.

He quickly glanced at Hong Gu and saw that she didn't behave normally. Liu Qing was secretly surprised. This intelligence plug-in was really powerful. Even Hong Gu, a seventh-rank god with great human and immortal skills, couldn't find any clues.

[Today's Intelligence: Gold Level. Under the aqueduct lies the lair of the great red nematode demon. Hidden in the mud beneath the lair is a pointed snail shell, and within the shell lies the tendon of a viper demon, a human-level immortal.]

Liu Qing was immediately overjoyed.

Now the horned boa has evolved into a viper, it already has viper bones and blood, but the viper tendons have not yet evolved.
The intelligence box timely reminded that the red nematode's nest contained the tendon of an old viper monster with the ability to become a human immortal.

Liu Qing's cultivation has reached the late stage of Refining the Spirit and Returning to the Void. If he wants to transform his body into a snake tendon, it must be at least the product of an old demon in the late stage of Refining the Void and Combining the Dao, which is more than one major realm.

The demon tendons of the old viper demon who has reached the level of a human immortal are just the right ones, how could Liu Qing not be happy.
