From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 141: Spiritual Spring

"[Reward: One Mid-stage Lianqi Green Jade Carp, accompanied by one Spiritual Energy Group!]"

Li Quanqing sat cross-legged in the middle of the fish pond, the sea water rippling around him, automatically taking the form of a water lotus and cradling his body, drifting in all directions.

Gazing at the lively Green Jade Carp before him.

The youth offered a slight smile, rewarding it with fish bait made from the flesh of a Second Order Great Demon.

Splash!

Having received the spiritual bait, the Green Jade Carp excitedly slapped its tail, splashing water all around, before disappearing into the depths of the sea.

Li Quanqing crushed the Light Group, and immediately a surge of Spiritual Energy came, which he gradually refined and fully integrated into his Dantian.

Drip-drop!

Above the Dantian, thick mist of Mana swirled around, and when it had reached its limit of abundance, another drop of sea-blue liquid Mana fell.

Li Quanqing introspected his body and now saw forty drops of liquid Mana gathered, forming a lake of azure blue, suspended like the essence of the vast ocean.

"Approximately every six Mid-stage Lianqi Spiritual Energy Groups can help me accumulate one drop of Mana to advance my cultivation."

Li Quanqing opened his eyes, his pupils soft and lustrous like jade, and arrived at a specific figure.

Now, the third batch of more than a hundred Green Jade Carps had finally all broken through to the Mid-stage Qi Refinement realm.

Due to the limitations of the Spirit Veins on Fish-Dragon Island, more than a dozen had an exceptionally slow cultivation speed.

The fourth batch of over a thousand Green Jade Carps were still struggling at the first and second levels of Qi Refinement, unable to make a breakthrough.

"It’s time to move."

Li Quanqing mused to himself, looking towards Baqing Island not far away and the bustling workshop of the family market.

Only a Second Rank Spirit Island is truly worthy of his status as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, not to mention the protection of a Second Rank Array.

The security increased manifold.

Li Quanqing sat cross-legged on the water lotus, slowly drifting back towards the beach, where he occasionally tossed food to the Spiritual Beasts that popped their heads out seeking treats.

He was quite generous, scattering various Feeding Spirit Pills and baits, and even minced meat from Second Order Great Demons, a sheer luxury.

Crack-crack!

A group of Copper-armored Crabs scuttled up through the water, eagerly blowing bubbles, obedient as dogs, cooing for his affection.

No choice, the flesh of the Silver-armored Crab was too tempting, it signified an evolutionary step in their bloodline and the awakening of their racial instincts.

Li Quanqing glanced and immediately noticed the bright silver light beneath the water surface, belonging to the tenaciously stubborn little Silver-armored Crab.

"Then continue to starve."

Li Quanqing took a frozen crab leg from his Snow Dust Heavenly Robe, dug out the tender white meat, and fed it to the group of Copper-armored Crabs.

Even the shimmering silver crab shells were not spared, all of them swallowed whole, and the satisfaction on their faces was evident.

Li Quanqing stepped onto the beach and saw the Golden Flame Tiger and a snow leopard, two big cats, lounging there, yawning and roaring, with fish bones scattered around them—no telling what they were discussing.

"Sssss~"

Several Thunder Horn Pythons entered the pond, swimming along with the Azure Water Pythons, purple and green complementing each other, maintaining a harmonious and contented relationship.

"Screech!!"

From the distant Red Dragon Mountain with its magma waterfall, the Dragon Flame Eagle suddenly let out a deafening cry, flapping its wings, pulsating with Demon Energy.

Li Quanqing was about to fly over to see what had happened when he felt the Spiritual Energy in the world shifting, converging on Green Bamboo Mountain and stirring ripples in the air.

A Demon Beast was breaking through!

Curious, Li Quanqing thought of the group of Vine Wood Apes on Green Bamboo Mountain. Judging by the disturbance, one of the Spirit Apes was attempting to break through the Late Stage of Qi Refinement.

He approached silently and immediately saw the Vine Wood Ape King sitting under a Spirit Peach Tree, breathing in the essence of myriad herbs, trying to break through.

Facing the more than ten acres of Spirit Medicine Field, it sat cross-legged like the Human Clan, arms reaching to the sky, refining the Essence Qi of heaven and earth, with its golden fur constantly shimmering in green radiance.

The breeze of Spiritual Energy rustled the surrounding bamboo forest, and the ground within the Bamboo grove undulated, suddenly revealing a golden, shiny little head.

"Ao~"

The Golden Scale Pangolin hugged a fresh bamboo shoot with its claws, curiously looking over here, its large black eyes sparkling with intelligence as it began to nibble on the bamboo shoot.

This little fellow was naturally capable of burrowing into mountains and often roamed around Fish-Dragon Island, even Li Quanqing rarely saw it.

"Come here for some sugar beans!"

Li Quanqing took out a spirit pill, fragrant and sweet-smelling, emitting a tempting aroma.

The pangolin sniffed with its pointy nose and under the influence of the Slave Beast Seal, it eventually ran over with the bamboo shoot, allowing the youth to hold it in his embrace.

Although the pangolin’s back was covered with scales, its belly was soft and fluffy, extremely comfortable to touch.

Hum hum!

The spiritual energy converged, seemingly lacking in strength, the Vine Wood Ape King’s aura fluctuated wildly, its mana surging and ebbing, showing signs of a failed breakthrough.

"Has the Heaven and Earth Essence of the island already become so scarce..."

Li Quanqing frowned slightly; the Spiritual Beasts he was raising were numerous, and each one required cultivation, constantly absorbing Essence Qi day and night while also needing the growth of spiritual medicine and spirit rice.

Except for the high-grade spirit stones buried on Purple Thunder Peak, the other mountains barely managed.

"I’ll lend you a helping hand!"

His sleeves waved, myriad array flags flew out, transforming into a low-grade Spirit Gathering Array, and he crushed a good number of spirit stones and threw them into the array.

At last, the dispersing ripples of spiritual energy were stabilized.

"Chirp chirp!"

After a long while, the Vine Wood Ape King’s body trembled slightly and its fur shuddered, finally achieving breakthrough success, emerald-like grass and wood spirit light flashing in its pupils.

It stood up steadily, propped itself up on its hind legs and tail, stretched out its two front paws, and bowed to Li Quanqing in respect.

Only upon standing did one realize that this Spiritual Beast ape was even taller than the average human, wearing vine armor made from twining vines and branches, like a warrior in his prime.

"Chirp!"

The little Vine Wood Apes waiting in the bamboo forest were also delighted, eagerly emerging and clinging to their father, swaying about like koalas.

Li Quanqing gave a slight smile, released his Foundation Establishment Aura without any concealment, rolling in like the boundless Hanhai Sea.

Immediately, the forest fell silent; the Vine Wood Apes trembled and fell to their knees, showing submission.

Even the pangolin got somewhat frightened, its scale armor stood on end, and its body trembled from time to time.

Li Quanqing was very satisfied; he must always display his dominion, to ensure that these Spiritual Beasts would not rebel.

Stretching out his hand, he stroked the Vine Wood Ape King’s head and casually grasped the light group in his hand.

[Gain: A Vine Wood Ape in Qi Refining Late Stage, Reward: "Spiritual Spring Stone" one piece!]

[Spiritual Spring Stone: Born with pores, the essence of the earth condensed, buried within the ley lines, it can create a small-sized spiritual spring that can be promoted as the level of the spirit vein increases.]

Spiritual Spring!

Li Quanqing was delighted, as not any spring water growing on a spirit vein was qualified to be called a Spiritual Spring, it truly deserved to be called a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

The true water of the Spiritual Spring, if used regularly, not only has the effect comparable to elixirs in cultivation, pure and unrivaled, free from elixir and medicine toxicity.

Such water could also be used to nurture medicines for alchemy, refining magic artifacts, and even as the Array Eye for array construction, truly with infinite marvelous uses.

To Li Quanqing’s knowledge, among the five Foundation Establishment Families, only the Wang Family on Tonghua Island had a large Spiritual Spring called the Tonghua Spring.

Even the Taiyuan Situ Family did not possess one, which showed its preciousness.

"Although mine can only create a small spring eye, it’s more than enough, and it can even be promoted along with the increase of the spirit vein’s level."

Li Quanqing was very satisfied, shattered the light group, turning into a two-foot-tall greenish-white stone that was oddly shaped with three pores.

A soft breeze blew by, driving the Spiritual Energy through the pores, immediately sending out a pleasing whistling sound.

Soon, a drop of milky white Spiritual Spring water exuded, fragrant, and the Spiritual Energy contained within was comparable to an elixir.

"Good! Good!"

Li Quanqing was very content and decided to bury this stone on Baqing Island since the Second Order Spiritual Energy there was more abundant.
