From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 145: Dragon Sculpture Foundation Establishment
Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Dragon Sculpture Foundation Establishment
"Moo Moo!"
In Baoying Fang, Li Quanqing sat cross-legged at the water’s edge, watching two Golden Pattern Green Jade Carps frolicking and tumbling in the water.
It was Ao Qing and its newly-wooed spouse.
"Come eat some sweet beans."
Li Quanqing took out a porcelain bottle, poured out several sweet-smelling Fish Water Reunion Pills, and fed them to the carps.
However, at Ao Qing’s level of cultivation, these Joyful Pills had largely lost their effect, which could almost be said to be negligible.
Whether they could produce offspring depended on Ao Qing’s and its mate’s own mood.
"The fourth batch of Green Jade Carps amounted to over a thousand, the fifth batch... let’s hold off on that for now."
Li Quanqing looked at the densely packed shoal of fish in the Baoqing Pond. Once they advanced to the Middle Stage of Qi Refinement, this Second Rank Spirit Vein would be nearly at its limit.
By then, their potential would have been exhausted, which would make them perfect to be handed over to the clan. There would be no hurry to nurture the fifth batch of Green Jade Carps.
Li Quanqing took out the scales of the Green Horned Fish Dragon, walked on water, buried them in each corner of the fish pond to maximize the activation of their potential.
He did not neglect the Fish-Dragon Pool either, burying several scales there too, treating both places with equal importance.
Days passed one after another, and time was tranquil and gentle, calm as water.
With the help of the Second Rank Spirit Vein, Li Quanqing often practiced breathing and cultivation himself, indeed speeding up quite a bit.
The Liquid Mana within his Dantian grew more and more abundant. Often, a session of seclusion would last ten days or half a month, making time feel increasingly insignificant.
Three months later.
Ao Qing, after a long incubation, finally succeeded in producing its own progeny.
Within the tumbling waters of the pond, twenty-seven Green Jade Carp Seedlings swam leisurely, born with golden scales signifying their noble lineage.
Astoundingly, they were all Golden Pattern Variants!
Li Quanqing was naturally elated, he carefully protected them, isolating a large area of water with an Array to prevent the seedlings from being harmed.
The Green Jade Carp species often mated only once in a lifetime to reproduce.
Ao Qing, too, could not escape the influence of its species.
After spending a few months being intimate with its mate, it once again devoted itself to cultivation, dedicating its life to the grand cause of the Dragon Transformation of carps.
What a cad.
Li Quanqing looked at the little Green Dragon left to care for the young alone and couldn’t help but feel a pang of pity, always feeding it a bit extra.
Fortunately, as it was their natural racial trait, the coaxed Green Jade Carp did not harbor too many sentimental emotions.
[Orphan and Widow]Golden Pattern Green Jade Carp: "A husband you can’t eat is not much use, a confident mother fish is the most beautiful when she leaves offspring behind."
[Cultivation: Qi Refining Eighth Level (56%)]
Li Quanqing stroked the little Green Dragon. With her potential, the likelihood of breaking through to Foundation Establishment was not high.
So, he decided to just keep her for now.
In the blink of an eye, another six months passed.
The Golden Pattern Green Jade Carp seedlings continued to grow, although the Golden Pattern Variants’ growth was slow, and it would take some time before they could become demons.
After half a year, the Dragon Flame Eagle finally succeeded in assimilating the vial of Dragon Snake True Evil.
"Screech!!"
The Dragon Flame Eagle dove into the artificial volcano, with molten lava flowing; its feathers shed, showering molten rock as specks of black-red Demon Energy circulated through its body.
Subsequently, its whole body radiated with fiery red Demon Energy, its pupils shining with golden brilliance. It twisted its body restlessly.
One after another, feathers fell, revealing newly grown Dragon Scales underneath the skin, reddish like jade with a hint of golden radiance.
"Screech!!"
The Dragon Flame Eagle let out an impatient cry and took great gulps of the Molten Rock Essence Qi.
Spiritual Energy from all directions surged towards it, aiming to break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop. Alas, it ultimately failed.
Fish-Dragon Island, after all, was merely a First Rank Spirit Vein, unable to sustain a Foundation Establishment breakthrough.
Li Quanqing’s initial success was due to the consumption of a vast amount of Spiritual Energy Groups, which filled the final gap.
"Baoqing Fang is a Second Rank Spirit Vein, yet the concentration of water Essence Qi is so rich that it’s actually not conducive to breakthroughs... Return to Qingyu Island!"
In an instant, Li Quanqing thought of the depths of the Artifact Refining Hall, that Second Rank Qingli Volcano.
Originally, it was with the help of this volcano that Li Kunli made his breakthrough.
Thinking of this, Li Quanqing immediately called upon the Dragon Flame Eagle, and emerged from the short volcano.
"Screech!!"
The Dragon Flame Eagle burst from the molten lava, flapping its wings. Its feathers had almost entirely fallen off, leaving behind glistening scales that greatly increased its defensive capability.
However, among the scales, tiny down feathers were growing, preventing it from becoming a bald bird.
"We’re going to break through on Qingyu Island!"
Li Quanqing touched the giant eagle, feeling the scorching hot lava as merely a bit warm to him.
With a cry, the Dragon Flame Eagle spread its wings to fly, carrying him and rushing towards the Green Jade Islands.
Li Kunli was still in the Whale Emperor Fang, keeping a close eye on the Third Rank Spirit Vein. It was his senior brother Li Quanlin who was in charge of the Artifact Hall.
Li Quanqing, on the back of the Spiritual Sculpture, dashed to Spirit Island unobstructed and quickly arrived at the depths of the Artifact Refining Hall, facing the Qingli Volcano.
Gurgle gurgle!
The fiery molten lava tumbled violently, spewing out from the mouth of the volcano like waves, with billowing black smoke and scalding magma, resembling a doomsday scenario.
This was a real active volcano, connected to the Earth’s fire, freely releasing the roaring flames with astonishing power.
"Go!"
Li Quanqing gave the word, descending from the back of the giant eagle and sitting cross-legged in mid-air.
"Screech!!"
The Dragon Flame Eagle’s eyes glittered with both expectation and excitement, eagerly diving into the mouth of the volcano, sending lava splattering all around.
It flapped its wings, and wisps of Demon Energy emerged from its body, forming a large golden red egg that bobbed in the magma.
Silently absorbing the Earth’s fire, accumulating power, waiting for the day to hatch.
Li Quanqing’s expression remained unchanged as he waited silently.
Li Quanlin had also come to inquire during this time, but was sent away by him—there was nothing interesting to see after all. fгeewebnovёl.com
In a blink of an eye, over half a month had passed.
Finally, with a thunderous boom, a surge of Demon Energy shot up into the sky, igniting the sea of fire, roaring fiercely and swelling into the void.
The Qingli Volcano erupted in its entirety, a massive stream of molten lava erupting sky-high, and the giant egg followed, cracking upon contact with the sky.
"Screech!!"
In the deafening call, a monstrous demon bird with wings spanning five to six zhang emerged from the lava, taking flight as if reborn from the flames.
Vast and astonishing fluctuations of Demon Energy spread out, but thankfully Li Quanqing had communicated early with the Array Spirit Green Pan, covering the void with layer upon layer of Arrays, confining the disturbance deep within the Artifact Hall.
Only the other two Foundation Establishment individuals on the island perceived it faintly.
"The breakthrough is a success!"
Li Quanqing’s gaze looked afar, watching as a cluster of light gathered on the Dragon Flame Eagle’s forehead flickering, and a sense of satisfaction immediately surfaced in his eyes.
Upon closer inspection, the post-breakthrough Dragon Flame Eagle was even more majestic and domineering, with crimson feathers regrowing all over its body and Dragon Scales covering its surface.
It spread its wings, with strands of golden flames entwined around them, exuding an extraordinary air, with faint roars of Flood Dragons echoing intermittently.
The most drastic change was the head of the Spiritual Sculpture, its shape altering to resemble an Ancient Flame Dragon, with two golden feathers folding back like the horns of a soaring Flood Dragon.
A solitary golden red horn really grew on the forehead of the Dragon Flame Eagle, crystalline and translucent, as if flames were blazing vigorously.
Second Rank, the Dragon Flame Eagle!
Li Quanqing was quite satisfied seeing such a majestic and exceptional mount, riding it would undoubtedly boost his prestige.
After all, this was a Foundation Establishment Demon!
Li Quanqing’s Divine Sense drifted, carefully sensing, perceiving through the Slave Beast Seal various emotions coming from the Dragon Flame Eagle: joy, excitement, and flattery.
"Good, no rebellious emotions sprouted, but the Slave Beast Seal still needs to be reinforced!"
Li Quanqing dispelled the mana he was secretly wielding on guard, after pondering for a moment, he finally settled on a name for the Dragon Flame Eagle.
Seeing how handsome you’ve grown, let’s call you "Big Red"!
