From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 193 - 188: Hanhai Cave Heaven
Chapter 193: Chapter 188: Hanhai Cave Heaven
"Moo moo~"
Above the Baoqing Pond, the Hanhai Bowl hovered, transforming into the size of a lotus pond, covering the sky overhead.
Ao Qing’s massive Flood Dragon body twisted and spiralled, constantly manipulating streams of water to fly upward in a spiral, eventually all falling into the mouth of the bowl.
Within these water tornadoes, strings of Green Jade Carps were helpless against the flow, being swept into the Hanhai Bowl.
Besides that, there was a vast quantity of Large Green Fish and shrimp swarms, serving as food for the Spiritual Beasts, ensuring they would not starve within the bowl.
Beneath the waterfall-like flows above Fish-dragon Water Pond within the bowl, hundreds of Green Jade Carps fell into the water, gulping down the abundant Spiritual Energy concentration.
With a flick of his fin, Ao Qing stirred the water, similarly lifting the mountain-sized Longevity Turtle and tossed it inside.
"Ao ao~"
The Longevity Turtle heavily crashed onto the sea surface, immediately raising its neck and issuing a dissatisfied roar toward the heavens overhead.
Afterward, it leisurely began swimming and once again burrowed into the deep sea bottom to lie flat, drawing upon the power of the Xuanwu Demon Pill to cultivate.
"Moo~"
Watching Ao Qing, eager and raring to go, the Canghai Whale voluntarily flapped its fins, cutting through the waves, heading toward the rim of the bowl.
One could see the Spiritual Whale leap high, the entirety of Baoqing Pond’s water bursting open, with waves splashing into the sky.
After entering the mouth of the bowl, the Canghai Whale’s body continuously shrank until it finally splashed a wave into the Hanhai Bowl, vanishing beneath the water out of sight.
"This fellow’s body has grown much larger again..."
Li Quanqing sat cross-legged there, thinking that the Canghai Whale had already refined most of the Beiming Zhen Sha, with its two fins as huge as azure clouds.
The breath of its presence, profound and overpowering, had reached the pinnacle of Qi Refinement and was faintly touching the bottleneck of Foundation Establishment.
Ao Qing let out a screech, driving the Copper-armored Crabs, Silver Claw Crabs, and newly cultivated Bright Moon Shell Species, all migrating into the bowl, leaving the Baoqing Pond water completely drained.
This brand new underwater world within the bowl, Li Quanqing named Hanhai Cave Heaven, hoping one day it could indeed grow to match the heights of a Grotto Heaven world.
"Moo~"
Having perfectly completed the task, Ao Qing immediately stuck out its cyan head, rubbing up to Li Quanqing, its two eyes wide and bright, its dragon whiskers fluttering in the wind.
"Well done, keep up the good work!"
Li Quanqing patted the Flood Dragon’s head and pulled out several Second Rank Spirit Pills and fish bait made of Demon Beast Meat to feed it, while casually scratching the inverse scale growing under its jaw.
Under the touch of its master, Ao Qing blissfully squinted its eyes, its scales opening and closing in order, emitting a crisp and pleasing sound akin to hammer on iron.
"Scree!"
The Dragon Flame Eagle not far away, unwilling to be outdone, scanned over the Cave Mansion with sharp eyes, flapping its wings, stirring up a gust of wind.
The Golden Flame Tiger stood just behind the Spiritual Sculpture, its body shimmering with golden hair dancing in the wind, like a burning flame, so well-behaved.
Aside from it, the Jade Qilin Beast and the Treasure Light Toad, all lined up obediently, jumping one by one into the bowl.
For a time, the entire Baoqing Pond and Cave Mansion grew quiet, lifeless, seeming a bit desolate.
Just like the entirety of Baoying Square, gradually walking towards decline, its days waning like the setting sun.
"It’s time to leave."
Li Quanqing waved his robe, reached out with a beckon, and the Hanhai Bowl instantly started spinning, shimmering with rays of light, and fell before the young man.
Riding atop Ao Qing, they then headed to Fish-dragon Pool, preparing to move the Spiritual Beasts there into the newly created Immortal Island within the bowl as well.
After half a month of day and night landscape transformation, Li Quanqing had successfully secured the newly-formed Fish-Dragon Island within the Hanhai Bowl.
A number of lofty mountains rose and fell, piercing through clouds of Spiritual Energy, with the entire island occupying about a quarter of the sea surface.
The three hundred Green Jade Carps in Fish-dragon Water Pond, the beautifully scaled Azure Water Pythons and their family, the Vine Wood Apes climbing rocks, shifting through the woods.
The Cloud-walking Snow Leopard acting as the chief steward, lazily lounging about, the White Jade Saint Image trumpeting dissatisfiedly in the backdrop, the serene Qingfeng Cranes spreading their wings, the Thunder Horn Pythons shrouded in lightning, and michevious and cute Golden Scale Pangolins as well as the free-range Five-Colored Chickens.
The Yang Flame Fish had already moved to the Hanhai Cave Heaven with the Fire Spirit Pond and weren’t greatly affected.
"Chip chip!"
A few Vine Wood Apes came over the mountain, their bodies intertwined with vines into baskets, filled with the previously cultivated Spiritual Medicine.
Thud! Thud!
The Ape King came carrying the Thunder Peach Tree, steps heavy, followed by a group of Thunder Horn Pythons, constantly flicking their forked tongues.
"Ah, there’s even a mature snake baby."
Li Quanqing’s eyes lit up, looking at one within the python group, especially large and plump, closely following its queen, seemingly of high status.
[You’ve obtained a Qi Refinement Late Stage Thunder Horn Python, rewarded with a Second Rank Ancient Soul Destroying Thunder Pearl!]
"Another Destructive Spirit Thunder Pearl..."
Li Quanqing stored the Light Group into the Qiankun Bracelet, this kind of treasure was quite good, very powerful when used, and to his taste.
The Vine Wood Ape King entered the Hanhai Cave Heaven and saw its new home, Fish-Dragon Island fresh from construction.
Besides a few mountain peaks, the rest of the land appeared somewhat barren, with the White Jade Saint Image issuing an unsatisfied trumpet call, as if asking if it was going to starve.
Li Quanqing had plans in advance, directing the troop of Vine Wood Apes incessantly going in and out, transplanting trees onto the island into the Cave Heaven.
In addition to the Thunder Peach Tree, there were dozens of peach trees planted by the apes themselves from peach pits, mountains covered with Green Bamboo Spirit Rice fields, and several tea trees grown lush and robust, bearing the scent of the Tea Tree Seeds opened by Qingfeng Crane initially.
After busily working day and night, the Fish-Dragon Island within Hanhai Cave Heaven was once again enveloped in lush greenery.
"This is better; planting more trees can prevent soil erosion and make the whole island more stable."
Li Quanqing nodded in satisfaction.
The very bottom of Fish-Dragon Island was still that layer of tortoise shell, and the thick mountains and soil on top were all moved in later, then refined with mana.
Finally, the Fish-Dragon Island that had accompanied Li Quanqing for more than a decade was also emptied, not only missing a few mountains, but even the lush forests looked sparse and scattered.
It appeared desolate, a picture of barren vitality.
"Hopefully, the next master of Fish-Dragon Island won’t mind!"
Li Quanqing tossed the Hanhai Bowl and flew in himself, his form continuously shrinking.
This feeling was quite marvelous, as if everything in front of his eyes was growing larger, the sound of the waves crashing, and clouds and mist swirling around him.
Li Quanqing walked on air and landed on the brand-new Fish-Dragon Island, looking at the four towering and majestic mountains, each with its own Spiritual Beast reigning and living.
The Azure Water Python clan coiled around Purple Thunder Peak, the Qingfeng Crane flock inhabited Qingfeng Mountain, the Vine Wood Ape troop tended the fields of Green Bamboo Mountain, and Dragon Flame Eagle and Yang Flame Fish stationed at Red Dragon Mountain.
"One more to go..."
Li Quanqing touched the snow-white vestment robe he was wearing, this Snow Dust Mountain Spirit Realm, he planned to integrate it into the Hanhai Bowl as well.
In this way, once the Hanhai Cave Mansion expands further in the future, it could become five islands each occupying a territory, breeding different kinds of beast herds.
Of course, this goal was still far away for him.
Speaking of the Snow Dust Heavenly Robe he was wearing, he wasn’t sure he could merge its space into the Hanhai Bowl, his cultivation was insufficient, and his artifact refining skill was not enough either.
"Chirp chirp!"
Li Quanqing climbed up Green Bamboo Mountain, the mountain which was perhaps the most vibrant among them all due to the management of the apes.
The ancient forest thrived, medicine fields were abundant, and from time to time, one could catch sight of Ganoderma and ginseng herbs. The air was even filled with the fragrance of Monkey Wine.
"I have something good for you."
Li Quanqing spoke and took out the reward he had earned earlier, the "Spiritual Spring Stone", and placed it at the peak of the mountain.
Gurgling!
Spiritual Energy gathered, and streams of milky spring water flowed out from the pores of the stone, filling up the pre-dug jade pits.
"Chirp chirp!"
The Vine Wood Ape King observed for a while and suddenly shouted out, conveying a lot of information through the Slave Beast Seal, conveying its idea.
"You want to use this Spiritual Spring as the core, to dig out channels for irrigating the whole Spirit Medicine Field of Green Bamboo Mountain?"
Li Quanqing looked at the Qi Refining Late Stage Spiritual Ape in surprise; he did not expect it to possess such wisdom.
It seems that the Spirit Farmer legacies he found before were not wasted.
"Then I’ll find you another helper."
Li Quanqing summoned the Jade Qilin Beast, which was frolicking in the forest, fond of the vibrant environment here. freёnovelkiss.com
The Jade Qilin Beast mastered the Demon Art of Stone to Mud and was assisted by the Stone Spirit Seal, which was more than enough to easily dig out the channels.
Since there was nothing else to do anyway.
And just like that, the Jade Qilin Beast was surrounded by the Vine Wood Apes, gained new friends, and even the Golden Flame Tiger and Cloud Trampling Snow Leopard came to join the fun.
The soil churned, the Golden Scaled Pangolins poked their heads out, also looking towards here with eager eyes, wanting to join the herd, but their solitary and timid nature meant they could only slowly adapt.
Only the White Jade Elephant continued to eat the tender leaves of the forest at its leisure, with a quite big appetite, practically eating non-stop.
Li Quanqing then took out the Red Dragon Puppet and placed it to soak in the Spiritual Spring, removing the High Grade Thunder Spirit Stone.
Thanks to the generous gift from the Situ Family elder, he currently had an ample reserve of Mid Grade Spirit Stones and didn’t need to waste this superior spirit stone for the moment.
Li Quanqing went to the east side of the island, with auspicious purple air coming from the east, hence Purple Thunder Peak stood here.
"Hiss hiss!"
The Thunder Horn Pythons affectionately coiled around, their bodies now as thick as water buckets, looking very powerful and no longer the cute and pretty creatures from the past.
Li Quanqing looked at the silver-white Thunder Peach Tree and buried the Thunder Spirit Stone deep within the soil.
In an instant, geomantic energy gathered, the magnetic field surged, and a vast cloud seemed to form, attracting thunder from all directions.
Unfortunately, this was a world within a bowl, and Li Quanqing was in control of all space.
With a thought, he scattered the gathering force of heaven and earth, and under the magnetic field’s influence, the island began to undergo new changes.
With the Thunder Spirit Stone as the core, resonating like finishing touch to bring a dragon to life, more than a hundred thousand Spirit Stones buried deep within the island and seabed responded in sympathy.
Faintly, a winding and rising Spirit Vein formed, starting to inhale and exhale the Spiritual Energy diffusing from the air and seawater, making it possible for circulation.
Li Quanqing’s consciousness delved into the Magical Treasure, continuously manipulating the Arrays in various places, making some precise adjustments.
Allowing the Spiritual Energy within the entire Hanhai Bowl to be distributed nearly evenly in every corner and sea territory, achieving reuse.
That feeling was as if the entire Hanhai Cave Heaven had come to life, transforming from a dead pool into a small Secret Realm possessing its own circulation of Spiritual Energy.
It finally had a touch of the foundation and embryo of a true Grotto Heaven world.
Thus, it could barely achieve self-sufficiency, no longer needing the input of numerous Spirit Stones buried into the ocean floor.
"Not bad, it has reached the standard of a First Rank Perfect Spirit Vein."
Li Quanqing nodded satisfactorily; after all, the effect was powerful with a hundred thousand Spirit Stones invested.
However, unfortunately, cultivating slowly on his own was not as fast as directly plundering.
Once Li Quanqing breaks through to Golden Core, he could directly extract several Second Rank Spirit Veins from other islands, creating Spirit Islands and Spirit Mountains, and that would be the quickest way.
Otherwise, relying solely on piling up Spirit Stones on his own, it would take an endless time to create a Spirit Vein as vast as a Third Rank— even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would feel pained for a while.
Li Quanqing exited the Grotto Heaven, holding the Spirit Bowl in his hand, riding the Green Horned Fish Dragon towards the Green Jade Islands.
Before long, the island was in sight, having become much quieter.
He arrived at Jade Dragon Pond and saw Li Kunlun was already waiting there, with an even larger Green Horned Fish Dragon beside him, the Guardian Clan Spirit Venerable.
