From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 187 - 184: Qiankun Bracelet

Facing Li Kunlun’s concern, Li Quanqing nodded to show that he was not injured.

He revealed the enormous corpse of the Taiyuan Xuanwu behind him, bloodied and too large to fit into a Storage Bag.

The two called over many Li Family cultivators and relatives to carry the second-rank Xuanwu’s corpse onto their Spirit Boat.

Now that the battlefield was settled, with gunpowder smoke lingering, the downfall of the Situ Family was already a foregone conclusion.

Those surviving members of the Situ Family could be said to be utterly disheartened, some even choosing to end their lives on the spot, destroying their Storage Bags rather than let their family treasures fall into outsiders’ hands.

There were also some members of the Situ Family who tried to beg for mercy, clinging to life, but the attitude of the Sword Sect and the four major families was very resolute, wiping out the family very thoroughly.

As for that earth Spirit Root genius at the Blood Sea Sect, the Shuihua Sword Sect was not worried about him; after all, they were also backed by the Star Sect, which was part of the righteous forces.

The Situ Family had colluded with the Demon Clan; thus, the Sword Sect was seen as having the moral high ground, and no one could say much against it.

When Li Quanqing returned to his Spirit Boat, Li Quanfu and the others were very safe. By occupying a favorable position, the Li Clan did not suffer many casualties.

Some greedy and reckless clan members actively ventured deep into Taiyuan Island. Though it was dangerous, their harvest was quite rich.

"The Situ Family... is finished."

Standing on the deck, Li Kunlun gazed at the fiercely burning Taiyuan Islands, feeling quite sentimental.

A thousand-year-old family known as the foremost among noble families, in just one night, could be utterly extinguished, disappearing like smoke into the air.

Perhaps some members of the Situ Family managed to escape, but they would hardly be able to stir up any trouble and would have to hide their identities, hoping for a resurgence one day.

"Without reaching Golden Core... one is ultimately nothing more than an ant..."

Li Quanqing let out a deep sigh and withdrew his gaze, returning to his room.

He took out the Qiankun Bracelet he obtained alongside the turtle shell of the Xuanwu, and slowly infused his mana into the bracelet to begin refining the imprinted brand within.

It had to be said that the Shuihua Sword Sect was even stingier than expected.

Such a large third-rank Demon Beast’s body, and not one Foundation Establishment Family managed to get a piece of its meat, and the treasures each clan grabbed for themselves still had to relinquish thirty percent.

After the Situ Family’s downfall, the way the Sword Sect cultivators conducted themselves seemed to be increasingly overbearing.

Fortunately, the agreement to grant the Li Family the Spirit Veins of Whale Emperor Island had not been invalidated. Receiving Third Rank Spirit Veins as compensation was a guaranteed profit.

Whirring!

The second-order Spirit Boat buzzed as the array lit up, starting up slowly. The few families, satisfied, began their homeward journeys.

Only the Yun Family from Carefree Island stayed behind to clean up the battlefield, having been promised the Spirit Veins of Taiyuan Island, each of them overjoyed.

Li Quanqing, undisturbed by the outside world, focused solely on refining the Qiankun Bracelet and finally removed the brand within it before arriving at Baqing Square.

Crack!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the Qiankun Bracelet’s surface suddenly burst forth with a stunning and dazzling blue luster, and then it all retracted, transforming back into an ordinary-looking bracelet.

Li Quanqing imprinted it with his own mana, and when his divine sense probed inside, he saw a vast and astonishing storage space, several hundred yards in diameter.

The first thing he saw were six small hills of Spirit Stones, each one consisting of ten thousand pieces, the amount staggering.

In addition, there were more than three hundred Mid Grade Spirit Stones, their combined value nearly a hundred thousand.

Many Magic Artifacts and Elixirs used by Qi Refining cultivators were also piled up there, many in quantity, obviously intended for training the family’s members.

As for second-order Spiritual Artifacts, he did not see any, probably snatched away by the Situ Family’s Foundation Establishment cultivators, since even the dead Taiyuan Xuanwu had a Black Water Pearl Spiritual Artifact.

"This is... Heart-Clearing Barrier-Breaking Pill?"

Li Quanqing’s divine sense swept over a higher grade elixir and immediately discovered two Jade Bottles with paper tags on them.

This second-order elixir could assist Foundation Establishment cultivators in their breakthroughs and even have significant effects on the bottlenecks in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

"Golden Core Technique, Heavenly Cloud Water Technique..."

Li Quanqing suddenly took out a Jade Scroll, placing it against his forehead to carefully comprehend it, a hint of joy in his heart.

This was the inherited Cultivation Technique of the Situ Family, from the Qi Refining Chapter to the Golden Core Chapter, very detailed, including various secret incantations.

But upon detailed comprehension, he felt that it was not as profound and mysterious as his own family’s Azure Sea Tide Generation Skill, amounting to no more than an ordinary Golden Core Technique.

"This can be handed over to the family, along with those large quantities of Magic Artifacts and Elixirs; they’re of no use to me anyway."

Li Quanqing set aside the Qiankun Bracelet, as compared to treasures like the Mystic Turtle shell and Essence Blood Demon Pill, these items were just average.

Instead, the Qiankun Bracelet itself had a more significant effect on him.

Although the East Sea Immortal World had various storage magical artifacts with space, ones with such a vast space were still extremely precious, representing the foundation of a Golden Core Family.

After a day’s journey, the Li Family’s large Spirit Boat sailed, and as night fell and the stars began to rise, they finally caught sight of familiar waters.

Baqing Square.

Li Quanqing said his farewells to Li Kunlun, who learned through the Fish Mirror that the situation on Whale Emperor Island had also concluded, with no casualties among the Clan Leaders.

"Moo moo!"

He opened his Storage Bag, and Ao Qing eagerly emerged, letting out a joyful roar, seeming very happy to go out for a fight.

The Dragon Flame Eagle was much calmer, having seen much of the world and possessing rich combat experience.

Splash!

The Green Horned Fish Dragon dove into the pool, stirring up a sky full of water splashes, as if a real Flood Dragon were frolicking in the water.

Several clan members moved the corpse of the Taiyuan Xuanwu into the Cave Mansion, collecting all of the blood to be processed into fish bait.

"Longevity Turtle, come here!"

Li Quanqing pointed a finger, and a surge of Azure Sea Magic Power flowed, harder than any Magic Artifact, hooking up the Longevity Turtle like fishing.

"Roar~"

The turtle lazily let out a sound, seemingly somewhat reluctant.

Suddenly, its small eyes bulged roundly, staring at the Xuanwu Essence Blood taken out by Li Quanqing with a look of shock and longing.

"Roar roar!"

Driven by instinct, even the Longevity Turtle abandoned all pretense of dignity, moving its four large claws, rubbing against Li Quanqing’s robe, full of ingratiating expressions.

"First, I’ll let you refine a drop."

Li Quanqing wielded his mana, dispersing the essence blood into a cloud of blood mist that enveloped the Longevity Turtle, seeping into its flesh through the gaps between its shell and scales.

The effect of the essence blood was astounding. The demonic power of the Longevity Turtle surged, and its cultivation broke through directly to the Qi Refining Sixth Level, excitedly bellowing, its countenance uplifted, bursting with high spirits.

Li Quanqing then took out a Demon Core and probed it carefully with his Divine Sense to ensure there were no abnormalities before stuffing it in the gap between the scales under the turtle’s neck.

With the turtle’s current cultivation, it was still far from being able to refine this Demon Core, only able to slowly draw upon its energy for cultivating, and it was believed that it would soon break through the Qi Refining Late Stage.

At this time, Li Quanqing couldn’t help but feel a stroke of relief in his heart, thankful that the Taiyuan Turtle Ancestor made a move towards seizing his body in a timely manner.

If it had continued to hide within the Demon Core without surfacing, it might have taken over the Longevity Turtle directly, which would have been a huge pitfall.

Li Quanqing rubbed Turtle’s head with his palm, then took out the Xuanwu turtle shell and played with it in his hands.

The color of the turtle shell was a blue-black hue, crystal clear and naturally ornamented with various ancient patterns, like a work of art.

Merely holding it lightly in hand, it incessantly congregated essence qi from all around, rolling in waves, with the sound of surging tides emanating from deep within the shell.

"What can this be refined into, a magical treasure? A turtle shell, a shield, or... a bowl?"

Li Quanqing turned the turtle shell upside down; indeed, it resembled a vast sea bowl, with a bottom as dark as ink while the rim was as deep and azure as the Hanhai.

Although he was an Artifact Refiner, he had no specific idea at this moment and could only set it aside temporarily.

Li Quanqing patted the Longevity Turtle then got up and walked into the depths of the cave mansion, cutting off a piece of Second-stage Demon Beast Meat and slicing it into pieces the size of fingernails with his sword qi.

"Dinner time, dinner time!"

He stepped on the pool water and walked, the water beneath his feet surging, automatically coalescing into a lotus flower that supported his form.

Splashing! fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

As Li Quanqing scattered a handful of meat pieces, the scent of blood spread in the water, instantly attracting many Green Jade Carps to fight over it, creating tumultuous waves of countless scales.

After all, this was the flesh of a Foundation Establishment Demon, which had to be refined with mana to neutralize the surging demonic power inside before the young fish could absorb and digest it.

While feeding the fish, Li Quanqing harvested those Green Jade Carps topped with light groups, sweeping over them with his Divine Sense, not missing a single one.

[Harvested a Qi Refining Early Stage Green Jade Carp, awarded a Mid Grade Magical Artifact Green Carp Sword!]

[Harvested a Qi Refining Early Stage Golden Pattern Green Jade Carp, awarded a small Spiritual Energy Group!]

[Harvested a Qi Refining Middle Stage Golden Pattern Green Jade Carp, awarded a Spiritual Energy Group!]

Another seven or eight Spiritual Energy Groups condensed, which he crushed and refined in an instant.

Ding-dong, a drop of azure fluid mana, as blue as the sea, was nurtured and fell into the Dantian.

"One hundred and sixty drops of mana..."

Li Quanqing nodded in satisfaction. This rate of cultivation was already quite fast; other Foundation Establishment cultivators would not match his speed even if they consumed elixirs every day.

"Ao wu!"

On the shore, the Golden Flame Tiger came running over, spreading his claws, his fur billowing like flames, eyeing the boiling water surface while continuously swallowing saliva.

It wasn’t clear whether he was craving the Demon Beast Meat or the fragrant Green Jade Carps.

Li Quanqing smiled slightly, fed them, and casually scooped up a few large green fish to throw in front of the tiger cub.

Roar roar!

The Golden Flame Tiger breathed out flames, and in no time, it finished cooking the fish, its culinary skills quite proficient.

"Yoo yoo!"

A Treasure Light Toad perched between the horns on the forehead of the Jade Qilin Beast, also came over at this time, sniffing the scent of the grilled fish. Its round eyes bulged.

It could hardly wait, biting into the fish meat, not afraid of the heat, crunching even the bones, feeling a burst of fragrance hit its face, incredibly delicious.

The taste was fresh and juicy, even the scales were crisp, making for an enjoyable munching experience.

The Golden Flame Tiger "Ao wu" bit into its mouth as well, but it seemed a bit tired of the taste, its fluffy tail swaying back and forth, its eyes sneakily gazing at the Green Jade Carps in the fish pond.

"Wait until this batch matures, then I’ll feed you two."

Li Quanqing said with a smile, patting the tiger’s head. The Green Jade Carp itself was considered a spiritual meal, and regular consumption had effects comparable to cultivating with elixirs.

He then took out the flesh of the Taiyuan Mystic Turtle and fed it to the two Spiritual Beasts. Unfortunately, no matter how much the Golden Flame Tiger breathed out flames, the meat stayed raw and couldn’t be thoroughly cooked.

In the end, it was Li Quanqing who deployed the Sky Blue Fire to finally complete the task of grilling Mystic Turtle meat, which was tough and chewy, not appreciated by human taste buds but relished by the Golden Flame Tiger.

The Jade Qilin Beast ate one piece after another, continuously exhaling warm air from its mouth, with its small body seemingly capable of eating endlessly, even out-eating the Spiritual Tiger.

"Yoo yoo!"

After eating and drinking their fill, the Jade Qilin Beast let out a satisfied growl, its front hooves stomping on the ground, emanating patches of earthy yellow light.

Swoosh! Swoosh swoosh!

The ground churned, and suddenly seven or eight brown and yellow earth spikes emerged as if they were stalagmites breaking through the soil, their power quite formidable.

This spooked the nearby Golden Flame Tiger considerably.

"A Lifebound Demon Technique?"

Seeing this, Li Quanqing was immediately delighted.
