Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 137: The innate fire wings rise into the air, and the body evolves into a viper

It’s just strange. This red nematode monster has such a precious treasure, why doesn’t it hide it in its storage bag, but instead follows the example of the rich landlords in the human world and bury the treasure underground?

Suddenly, Liu Qing was startled. Perhaps he had come to his senses. When he swallowed the red nematode's clone just now, he didn't find that it had any storage space.

It makes sense. The red nematode has no air sacs or swim bladders. Naturally, when its bloodline awakens, it cannot awaken the storage space that almost all ordinary river monsters have.
But he awakened the talent of splitting that made Liu Qing extremely jealous, so it can be said that he gained something in return.

"Sister, wait a moment. I'm going to go to the bottom of this ditch and see if there's any treasure in the red nematode's nest."

After saying hello, Liu Qing dived into the water. With the water spirit bead hair accessory outside his body, he could avoid the river water and there was no need to reveal his true form.

With the help of the intelligence treasure box, Liu Qing successfully found the tendon of an old viper monster hidden in the shell of a pointed snail in the nest of the red nematode.

This demon tendon is as thick as a chopstick, but more than ten feet long. Even if it is shrunk into a ball of thread, it still takes up a lot of space. I didn't expect it to fit into a thumb-sized pointed snail shell.
I think this pointed snail shell is also a magical storage device.

[Description: Pointed-top conch shell, mid-grade storage artifact, with an interior space of approximately three meters in radius, suitable for storing inanimate objects.]

Sure enough, the plug-in gave an explanation in time, verifying Liu Qing's guess.

He already had a highly developed mouth bag space, and this unexpected snail shell storage magic tool was waiting to be given away as a reward to the monsters in the Snake Pond River who had not awakened their storage talent.

This trip yielded a lot of rewards. First, they got the Yangshen Demon Puppet of the Red Threadworm Demon, and then the corpse of Lianxu Hedao. Hong Gu also gave fifty taels of authority gold for completing the task.

As well as the viper tendons needed to transform into a viper, and this snail shell storage magic tool, it's definitely a big harvest.

Liu Qing planned that when Hong Gu's authority and priestly jade scepter issued another mission in the future, he would not let it go. He must respond actively and become a bounty hunter who worked hard to make money.

After talking to Hong Gu, she had no objection. As long as Xiao Qing was willing, she had no objection.

He and Hong Gu rode on the back of the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast Shui'er, one in front and one behind, and the two headed towards the snake pond.

Liu Qing held Hong Gu in his arms again. When Hong Gu thought of the time when she came, her face turned red again and her body stiffened. But then she thought that sooner or later she would get Xiao Qing's favor anyway, so why should she be nervous? She rolled her eyes at Liu Qing, leaned her head back on Liu Qing's shoulder, closed her eyes and breathed softly, her breath as fragrant as orchid.

A face like a full moon, dignified and noble features, some baby fat cheeks, dimples appearing even when not smiling,

There was no wine in the dimples, but Liu Qing was already drunk.

Liu Qing took a deep breath of the body fragrance and leaned over with his head lowered.

Shui'er was such a spoiler, she yelled impatiently, "Master, Madam, have you helped me see clearly what it is that keeps hurting my back?"

Going to the ditch to eliminate the monster is seven or eight hundred miles round trip, but with the speed of the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast, it only takes two hours to go back and forth.

When Liu Qing returned to the Snake Pond, the river goblins in the pond were still absorbing the moonlight, unaware that their master had gone out.
The Lingbao Dragon Palace spewed out from its mouth and was still hanging on the crooked mulberry tree. Hong Gu and the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast Shui'er went in, but Liu Qing did not follow them.

The crooked mulberry tree rustled its leaves. Liu Qing smiled and sat cross-legged on it. Several branches meandered over and supported Liu Qing, acting as a cushion.

Liu Qing opened his mouth and inhaled, and the vast moonlight swarmed in. His elephant-swallowing talent worked crazily, and with every breath he took, he harvested the source energy of heaven and earth.

An hour later, the moon disappeared. Liu Qing asked the crooked mulberry tree to watch over the Dragon Palace, and then he flew in.

The crooked mulberry tree had become a monster by now. Its branches formed a circle, just like a fence outside a house, and the other branches were like snakes and pythons surrounding it. However, no river monster dared to approach.

On the way back, Liu Qing swallowed the tendons of the old viper monster hidden in the pointed conch shell. At this moment, his elephant-swallowing talent was being refined.

Perhaps it won't be long before the tendons in his body grow and his body evolves.

After entering the Lingbao Dragon Palace, I walked around with my hands behind my back and saw that the plaque at the gate of the Dragon Palace had been replaced with a huge green jade plaque.

Written in large gilded characters on it is "Liu Mansion".

Liu Qing was extremely satisfied and lingered for a long time, as if feeling that from now on, this would be his home.
He opened his mouth and spewed out a stream of demonic energy, which was attached with demonic consciousness and penetrated into the "Liu Mansion". Immediately, the two words twisted and changed, winding like a dragon, and the blazing aura was obvious, and people entering and leaving could be distinguished.

This must be the work of Hong Gu. She can use a whole piece of green jade to make a plaque, which is very grand.

Then he went to the main hall and saw Hong Gu directing Bai She'er, Xiao Ya, and the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast Shui'er to repair the hall.

From time to time, the little girl took out the six-treasure mud and seven-fragrant bricks from the shell to repair the collapsed palace walls and corridors. Hong Gu also took out the spiritual materials from the East China Sea and used her divine power to knead the spiritual materials into different shapes. Only when she was satisfied did she decorate the room.

Coral rockery, pearl flower path, agate screen, water jade pavilion, one by one appeared in Liu Qing's sight, making Liu Qing amazed.

Regardless of whether they look good or not, the various pavilions and terraces built with these spiritual materials from the East China Sea are enough to show the wealth of the owner.

Liu Qing was short of money and couldn't go forward, so he could only leave quietly and leave the decoration of the new house to Hong Gu.

When I returned to the courtyard I was at yesterday, I found that the plaque had also been replaced with the name "Yangxin Garden".

Perhaps Hong Gu saw that he was staying here, so she cleaned up this place first, and used it as a resting place in the name of "nourishing the mind".

Sure enough, the ruins inside had been cleared away at this time, and the new buildings repaired with various spiritual materials still revealed Hong Gu's lavish wealth, which simply blinded Liu Qing's eyes.

Hey, Sister Hong Gu, it is not the case that the better and more spiritual materials you use, the better the decoration will be. It is not the case. Although it looks magnificent, it will appear tacky.
In this way, the meaning of "nourishing the heart" is lost.

Only when it is naturally formed, uncarved and in its original state can it be close to heaven and earth and have the effect of nourishing the nature and cultivating the mind.

Liu Qing just smiled bitterly and didn't dare to say it directly. He didn't contribute a single brick or stone, so why was he picking them up?

Fortunately, the rockery that I was circling last night is still there.

Since Liu Qing was inside the magical treasure, he didn't need to hide his whereabouts. The demonic aura trembled, revealing the true form of a horned boa constrictor. The snake's body twisted and coiled around the rockery.

At this time, the snake's body was still nearly three meters long, unable to break through the three meters mark. It could only begin to grow after shedding its skin. The snake's scales began to tighten, and its vision became a little distorted. Liu Qing knew that it was likely to shed its skin in the next day or two.

His cultivation had reached the late stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void. Although he was still affected by the instincts of the snake and python race, he would shed his skin, have a blindfold period, and his vision was weakened, but these effects were minimal.

Liu Qing was not nervous at all.

Anyway, there is no need to worry about external enemies in the Lingbao Dragon Palace, and Liu Qing no longer cares about the shedding of the four dangerous snakes and pythons.

Liu Qing allowed his main body to slowly begin to blind itself and shed its skin, but he did not stop there to do other things.

On the side of the Yin God in black clothes and white face, the Thousand Rivers and Ten Thousand Waters Flag had been completely refined. Liu Qing then threw the Yin-Yang Harmony Drum to it, asking it to continue refining it.

The completely refined Yin Yu Ling Banner and Qianchuan Wanshui Banner were swallowed by the Yin God and taken into his stomach to be nurtured.

No longer put it into the mouth or capsule, so as to avoid becoming a thief and stealing the money from incense and offerings.

It opened its mouth and sprayed out the corpse of the red nematode monster. The corpse was split into sixty-four parts by itself, and was severely damaged by the power of Hong Gu.
Therefore, the demonic energy in the body dissipated rapidly, and the source of heaven and earth energy contained in it was naturally only a few left. After Liu Qing swallowed and refined it,

But what you get is equivalent to the source of heaven and earth energy of low-grade river treasures.

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi: 78 points]

Among them, 8 points were obtained from swallowing and spitting out the moonlight just now. This great monster in the realm of Lianxu Hedao only provided 70 points of heaven and earth source qi, which is about the same as the ordinary river monsters that have been refined into spirits.
It seems that Hong Gu's powerful punch was really terrifying, and almost beat the red nematode monster into pieces.

For the sake of the future, Liu Qing decided that next time he went on a mission, he would do it all by himself. This way, the corpses he harvested would contain more Heaven and Earth Source Qi.

Otherwise, Hong Gu's style of play would be a bit of a waste.

By the way, Liu Qing also wanted to test the limits of his own skills, talents, and magical powers.

Refining the spirit and returning to the void is no longer a problem. Refining the void and merging with the Tao can win if you are cautious. Let's see how big the gap is when facing an enemy with the level of human immortal.

I think I should be able to fight against the incense god of the human immortals, but as for the authority god of the human immortals, I guess I can't.
There is no other reason. The former is a ghost god, without a physical body, so his combat power is greatly reduced. He himself has the Yin Yu Ling Fan, a spiritual treasure specially designed to defeat ghost gods.

The latter has a physical body, and her authority and divine power are sharp enough, and her combat power is strong. Looking at Hong Gu, Liu Qing feels that he may not be able to beat her.
Fortunately, Hong Gu is a gentle person and will not abuse me. Otherwise, I would be an orphan and no one would stand up for me if I got beaten.

78 points of Heaven and Earth Source Qi, Liu Qing was too lazy to improve his Taoism realm, so he waved his hand and hit the main body of the horn boa,
It’s time to evolve into a viper. Before it evolves, use the source energy of heaven and earth to awaken the bloodline talent and see if there are any surprises like the fang sword.

The cool air split into two streams, one to the back and the other to the snake core in the mouth. It consumed 6 points of Heaven and Earth Source Qi and awakened two talents.
The other 72 points of excess source energy are returned to the panel.

[Explanation 1: Innate Fire Wings, derived from the Winged Fire Snake, can transform Yang Qi into a pair of flaming wings, allowing them to glide through the sky. At the entry level, they can travel a thousand miles a day. As they grow, their flight speed increases.]

[Explanation 2: The talent, Demonic Words, originates from the beast, the Roaring Snake. It can use the snake's cry to seduce the enemy, making them unconscious and at your mercy. As the level of growth increases, the power of this talent will continue to increase.]

Liu Qing was immediately overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, the talent awakened by the horned boa was such a surprise. Liu Qing wanted to continue, but unexpectedly, the source of heaven and earth Qi patrolled the body in a circle and returned empty-handed. Perhaps the blood talent of the horned boa had been fully opened.
If you want to unlock more talents, you need to wait until you evolve into a viper.

First, the fang sword, turning the two fangs into flying swords, flying to kill the enemy and attacking stealthily, is exactly what Liu Qing wants.
Then came Fire Wings and Demon Words. These two talents were also extremely extraordinary. One could transform the Yang Qi in Liu Qing's body into fire, and grow wings of fire out of thin air, allowing him to soar into the sky.
The other one shakes the snake core, uses evil words to confuse the crowd, confuse the opponent, and control the opponent's mind. These two talents are simply surprising to the core.

Liu Qing was delighted and took out another 18 points of Heaven and Earth Source Qi to increase the growth of the two talents to a small success.
To upgrade to the great success later, each one requires 81 points. Liu Qing's source of energy of heaven and earth is not enough for the time being, so he can only endure it for now. After absorbing and exhaling the moonlight tomorrow night, he can push them to the great success one by one.

[Explanation: 3: Innate Fire Wings, derived from the Winged Fire Snake. After its growth reaches Minor Success, the flight speed reaches 5,000 miles per day.]

This speed is only slightly slower than that of the Water-avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast, but this is only the speed at which it reaches the shore. If it is in the water, it is probably far slower.
The innate fire wings can only allow Liu Qing to fly, but it does not increase the speed in the water. However, because of this, it can make a water snake fly. If you don’t see it with your own eyes, it is simply horrifying.

Creatures that cannot fly envy those that can fly the most. For example, human Qigong practitioners call the perfection of the Tao "ascension", which is exactly the meaning.

People like Liu Qing who are in the water desire to fly even more than others.

[Explanation 4: The talent, Demonic Words, originates from the strange beast, the Roaring Snake. Once this talent reaches Minor Success, it can simultaneously bewitch ten people and influence their minds.]

Judging from the growth direction of the talent, the demon words are heading for group battles. When entering the stage, it can bewitch one person, and when it is a small success, it can bewitch ten people. And so on. After it is a big success and perfection, I am afraid that once a word is spoken, all living beings will be bewitch.

It really proves the saying: false rumors can confuse the public.

Liu Qing had just acquired two new talents, and he was excited to see the hunting. He had originally planned to go out and try them out, especially flying, which he had long admired.

But at this moment, the viper demon tendon was just refined.

After the elephant swallowing talent was fully developed, the refining efficiency increased several times. It took only a few hours from the time of swallowing it to now, and it was completely refined.
It carries the energy of the old snake demon, and the demon blood has been removed, leaving only the most fundamental element required for evolution, which turns into a ball of blood light, spinning in the body.

Liu Qing's demonic consciousness moved, driving the ball of blood light to hit the large tendons in his body. In an instant, the large tendons of the spine in his body burst into blood light, trembling continuously, quickly absorbing and digesting it, and then transforming.

Soon, the transformation of the large tendons in the spine was completed, and then it spread to the small tendons throughout the body. After a while, the transformation of the small tendons throughout the body was also completed.

The blood light just ran out, and the next moment, all the tendons and veins in Liu Qing's body burst into light, spreading all over the body, connecting the flesh and blood below and the bones above, like a bridge between heaven and earth.

The original body finally evolved into a viper.

At the same time, the snake scales all over the body suddenly became extremely itchy and began to shed. Liu Qing endured the itch and coiled his snake body around the rockery, using the sharp stones protruding from the rockery to rub the old scales fiercely.
Unexpectedly, perhaps because of his profound Taoist practice, his scales had already become as hard as gold and iron, and with his gift of thick armor, they were even harder than gold and iron, and almost as good as magical weapons designed for defense.

The rockery was made of ordinary stone, and even though it was sharp and rough, it could not grind away the hard snake scales. At this moment, the strange itch all over the body became more and more intense, torturing Liu Qing extremely painfully.

Suddenly, Liu Qing was so annoyed that he wanted to whip himself. Since the snake scales were hard and could not be worn away by the rockery, why did he forget that he had a fang sword?

The demon's consciousness moved, and two fangs flew out, "Master" from the left, and "Wait" from the right, one from the left and one from the right, piercing through the lower jaw, and suddenly a gash appeared.
