Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 213 The Origin Qi Talent is Perfected, Monkey Wine Evolves into a Grotto Heaven

No wonder the long-armed ape demon king possessed Sun Hua and sent his powerful demon army to help him; all of his actions were for the purpose of secretly plundering corpses.

The purpose of watering this mid-grade acquired spiritual root, the Blood Peach Tree, with human blood is to shorten the harvest time.

Otherwise, it would take six hundred years to harvest three hundred mid-grade spirit peaches each time.

Actually, it's not that only human essence and blood are acceptable; the blood of other living beings can also be used. However, since humans are the most intelligent of all beings, the effects of their blood far exceed those of other beings.

However, this only applies to mortals. If the blood of river demons, mountain demons, or gods is used, the harvest time for these Blood Peaches will be shortened even further.

The reason this Blood Peach Tree can become a mid-grade acquired spiritual root is largely due to its ability to be irrigated with the blood of all spirits, thus shortening the time for harvesting spiritual peaches.

Otherwise, it would only be harvested once every six hundred years, yielding three hundred mid-grade spirit peaches at most, which would at most classify it as a low-grade spirit root.

There are still a little over a hundred spirit peaches left on the tree, most of which were probably taken by the long-armed ape demon king to brew monkey wine.

The remaining peaches and willow leaves will remain on the tree until the next batch of monkey wine is brewed.

As for how to brew monkey wine, just follow the same steps: put in the wine vat with ingredients such as Spicy Grass, Drunken Beauty, Polygonatum, Ginseng, and Lingzhi, and then add Spirit Peach.

If you really think that won't work, there's a group of monkey salt workers in Snake Pool who can also brew monkey wine. Just call them over to brew it.

Monkeys in the world brew monkey wine using roughly the same methods; they are almost born with this skill, almost like a natural talent.

Liu Qing looked at the blood peach tree in front of her, her eyes filled with joy.

But after the initial joy, another problem arose.

How can I take this blood peach tree with me?
If you find a treasure, you can't leave it here without taking it. Otherwise, that old demon who can burrow underground might find it, and that would be terrible.

Try swallowing it using your oral cavity?
No.

The mouth pouch space can only store inanimate objects. This Blood Peach Tree is a spiritual root, so it naturally belongs to a sentient object and cannot be stored in the mouth pouch space.

Furthermore, the storage space of this pouch, through Liu Qing's numerous acquisitions, has become overflowing with various yin-based medicinal herbs and spiritual materials from the City God's realm, pills made from them, river delicacies handed over by the Shrimp Merchant Guild, as well as incense silver, authority gold, and so on.

The corpses of nearly a thousand monkey demons of various sizes that were captured this time were almost piled up.

Liu Qing planned to dig up the Blood Peach tree, soil and all, and also the peach orchard that had sprung up from its aerial roots.

A rough calculation suggests that at least several times the space of the mouth would be needed to hold it.

Moreover, it is not enough to simply hold it; it also needs to be able to store sentient beings.

The space is large enough to store sentient beings; such a space is already a true grotto-heaven.

If Liu Qing has already reached the Dharma Realm, he can evolve a Dharma Realm of Authority, which may become a true grotto-heaven.

However, he is currently only at the mid-stage of the Divine Power Realm, far from the Dharma Realm Realm. Moreover, only when he reaches the late stage of the Dharma Realm Realm will his authority and Dharma Realm be perfected, which cannot be achieved in a short period of time.

Therefore, the only possibility is to push the growth rate of the mouth pouch talent to perfection.

Hopefully, once the mouth is fully developed, its space will be sufficient to meet the needs.

Then try to accumulate the primordial energy of heaven and earth as soon as possible to help the mouth's innate talent grow.

Liu Qing was distracted at this moment, as his main body was still up there. He needed to bring his main body down, so he immediately manipulated the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone to spin down towards the ground at high speed.

The Panlong Eight-Tone Cone is a primordial spiritual treasure. Using it for drilling is a waste of its potential. In just a short while, it drilled a small hole from the ground to the cave.

The divine consciousness returned to its original form.

Liu Qing immediately used his perfected Wind Transformation Divine Power to transform his true form from solid to ethereal, turning it into a wisp of purple-gold wind that traveled along the hole drilled out by the Eight-Tone Cone to the cave space.

Liu Qing's status is that of a god-king. After his authority merges with the Dao, his divine power is not golden like Hong Gu's, but rather a noble purple-gold.

Currently, the Devouring Elephant talent is at its peak. To raise its growth rate to perfection, 6561 points of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi are required.

Liu Qing currently only has a few hundred.

Liu Qing sat cross-legged, opened his mouth and spat out the corpses of the river demons and apes he had slain. He removed the scales, teeth and other materials from their bodies that could be used to refine magical artifacts, and then threw the remaining flesh and blood to the Elephant Devouring Talent to refine.

Of course, before refining them, Liu Qing extracted the essence blood from these monsters and stored it separately, to be used later to irrigate the Blood Peach Tree.

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi +390]

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi +667]

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi +435].
Soon, the primordial energy of heaven and earth accumulated enough. After hesitating for a moment, Liu Qing poured all of it into the Devouring Elephant talent.

This is the first of his many supernatural abilities and talents to reach the perfect level of growth.

I hope to bring myself a surprise, so that the perfected Mouth Bag talent can evolve into a large enough cave to store spiritual beings.

The oral cavity's natural talent is developing.

Previously, the progress from beginner to intermediate to advanced levels was rapid, but this time it was very slow. Several hours passed before Liu Qing felt that his oral pouch talent had reached its peak and the internal space had stopped growing.

Liu Qing hurriedly used his divine sense to look.

The vast expanse of space covered several miles in circumference, roughly the size of the Snake Pool where Liu Qing started his business.

The harvest that was once stored up so full now only takes up a corner of the space.

At the far end of the space, there was a hazy mist as a barrier. The ground was quite solid. Liu Qing's divine sense penetrated into the ground, going hundreds of feet below, but still could not see the end.

The earth was solid and deep. Liu Qing used his divine sense to observe the soil and found that the soil in this space was exactly the same as that outside. He guessed that it should be possible to transplant or plant crops.

Liu Qing looked up at the space above. Although there was no sun or moon, it was not dark. It was gray and hazy, just like a rainy day outside.

There was a faint airflow within the space.

[Note: Once the talent pouch reaches its full growth stage, its inner space will form a true grotto-heaven, capable of storing sentient beings.]

Liu Qing withdrew her consciousness, her eyes filled with surprise.

If my previous observations were merely speculations, the explanations provided by the cheat program have now turned those speculations into reality.

As the first person to achieve the perfect level of mouth-shaped talent, he truly transformed the inner space into a real cave.

Moreover, the size of the cave space, spanning several miles, is almost the same as the power and realm of the evil dragon of the Wei River that was killed earlier.

The other party is a Dao-aligned being, a Dharma Realm expert. It is normal for them to have such a cave space. In terms of both size and sturdiness, it conforms to the characteristics of a Dharma Realm expert.

However, Liu Qing is only at the Divine Power Realm, yet he already possesses a cave space similar to that of the Dharma Realm Realm.

If outsiders knew, they would be utterly shocked.

Liu Qing was secretly delighted, realizing that he had once again gotten ahead of others and possessed a cave space.

Once the divine power is accumulated enough, one can advance to the Dharma Realm without any obstacles, and unlike other gods, one does not need to comprehend and try to evolve the Dharma Realm again and again.

Liu Qing could then directly replace the Dharma Realm with a perfect-level mouth-bag space. Perhaps, with the foundation of the mouth-bag space, once Liu Qing uses the Five Elements Mountain to suppress the Dharma Realm and replaces the sun, moon, and stars with the Three Flowers, he could leap to the Divine Realm.

It can be said that the cave heaven that Liu Qing's mouth space evolved into at this time laid a solid foundation for his future Dharma Realm, Five Qi Realm, Three Flower Realm, and even God Realm.

After a while of joy, Liu Qing finally calmed down.

Taking precautions, Liu Qing found a few earthworms and some small grasses and moved them into the Kounang Cave.

After observing carefully for several hours, seeing that the earthworms were alive and well and the grass had not withered, I was completely relieved.

Next, they planned to transplant the Blood Peach Tree, a mid-grade spiritual root from the day after tomorrow, into the imported Nectar Cave.

As the master of the Kounang Cave Heaven, Liu Qing could control its changes with just a thought. Therefore, Liu Qing effortlessly created pits on the ground of the Kounang Cave Heaven.

After leaving the planting pits, Liu Qing evenly sprinkled a layer of the Eight Treasures Soil left over from planting the Five Grains Spirit Seeds.

Then, they began by transplanting ground-grown peach trees with multiple aerial roots from the Spirit Root Blood Peach Tree.

Although these peach trees on the ground were merely formed from the aerial roots of the Blood Peach Tree, and the peaches they produced were of inferior quality, they were still far superior to the wild peaches in the mountains and forests outside. How could Liu Qing let them go?

Liu Qing casually found a magic-grade knife in the Kounang Cave and used it as a shovel for transplanting. He dug up the peach trees from the ground, soil and all, and then transplanted them into the Kounang Cave.

They moved very carefully, making sure not to damage their main roots, which were the aerial roots of the underground spiritual root blood peach trees. The transplanted trees would remain as a whole, making it easier to irrigate them with the blood of all spirits in the future without harming their origin. They wanted to see if they could also elevate the rank of the peach trees formed from these aerial roots.

Despite the careful movements, the transplanting was quite fast. Several hours later, all the peach trees on the ground had been transplanted into the Kounang Cave.

Only this Blood Peach Tree with a mid-grade acquired spiritual root remains in the underground cave.

Liu Qing manipulated the magical knife, tracing a circle around the pond where the Blood Peach Tree was located, and then completely absorbed it into the Kou Nang Cave Heaven.

Thus, Liu Qing took away all of the most valuable possessions of the Demon King Gibbon, the Blood Peach Tree, leaving none behind.

Within the Kounang Cave, a circle of peach trees was planted outwards from the center of the Blood Peach Tree, a mid-grade acquired spiritual root.

They are still connected by aerial roots, forming a whole, but instead of being positioned vertically, they are now laid out horizontally.

After the transplant was completed, Liu Qing took out one of each of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—from the spirit-gathering array plate he had refined during his previous seclusion and put it into his mouth-filled cave.

At the four corners of the grotto, there are array plates for gathering water, gathering wood, gathering metal, and gathering earth, while the array plate for gathering fire floats above the grotto, serving as the sun.

The Five Elements Array Plate gathers the Qi of the Five Elements, which circulates within the cave. The air that was previously faintly flowing has now formed a gentle breeze thanks to the circulation of the Five Elements.

With wind flowing, fire illuminating, and metal, earth, and wood used for stabilization, this cave-like space was further improved.

At the very least, this ensures that these aerial root peach trees and spiritual root blood peach trees will not only survive transplantation but also continue to grow.
