From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 213 - 208: Ao Qing Breaks Through

In the midst of Jade Dragon Pond, the pond water was as clear and serene as jade, emanating an abundant and astonishing amount of Water Spiritual Energy, with faint vestiges of undispersed Demon Energy lingering.

Ripples spread across the water surface, and one could see schools of Green Jade Carp swimming leisurely below.

Li Quanqing, drifting on a small boat, floated with ease, carried by the waves, as if blending into the entire body of water, feeling a sense of harmony with nature.

He caressed the small boat; it was the very fishing vessel he had used back when he was a Qi Refining fisherman, still taken care of and looking as shiny and new as ever.

Wisps of Divine Sense rippled out, like nimble fish hooks, diving quietly into the water in search of their target.

[Harvested a Qi Refining Middle Stage Green Jade Carp, reward Top Grade Magical Artifact Green Scale Shield!]

[Harvested a Qi Refining Middle Stage Golden Pattern Jade Carp, reward Second-rank Sword Talisman Sea Roar Sword Talisman!]

Eh, a Second-rank Spirit Talisman? Good stuff!

Li Quanqing’s eyes lit up, he reached out to grab the Golden Pattern Jade Carp in his hand, fiercely rubbing its head, the familiar feel still fresh in his hands.

He crushed the Light Group inside the Storage Bag, organizing the contents into different categories, everything in perfect order.

The fishing boat gently drifted, harvesting a good number of Light Groups along the way; Li Quanqing nonchalantly scattered fragrant fish bait, attracting the Green Jade Carps to circle the boat.

From afar, it seemed as if the Spirit Fish were lifting the whole boat, creating a rather peculiar sight.

Thanks to the breakthrough of the Guardian Clan Spirit Venerable earlier, a Spirit Rain had fallen, and under the stimulation of the Demon Energy, many of the Green Jade Carp had made successive breakthroughs.

Even the Heavenly One Spirit Liquid had been harvested in amounts of eight or nine drops, a bountiful catch.

Li Quanqing lay in the fishing boat, feeding and stroking the fish, while perking up his ears to listen.

Beside him, a high-grade Sound Transmission Talisman buzzed incessantly, like a spirited fish, transmitting endless noises of quarrels.

Listening closely, it turned out to be the family Elders arguing ceaselessly over who should claim the Foundation Establishment Pill.

But the final outcome was naturally without dispute.

Even though the Old Clan Chief supported Li Quanyi, wanting his great-grandson’s fiancée to win the choicest Foundation Establishment Pill.

Unfortunately, the supporters on Li Quanmo’s side were far more numerous, with just Li Quanqing and Li Kunli already contributing two votes.

In addition to Li Quanmo’s status as an Elder, his achievements and contributions were well recognized, while Li Quanyi had always been studying Arrays in the Scripture Pavilion, clearly at a massive disadvantage.

In the end, by the Old Clan Chief’s decision, the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Leaving Flame True Evil were all handed over to Li Quanmo.

Li Quanyi only received a vial of Black Water True Evil, and the chances of her breaking through were slim.

"With the Leaving Flame True Evil as a base, coupled with a Foundation Establishment Pill as assistance, it’s pretty much a certainty that Li Quanmo’s breakthrough is a done deal."

Li Quanqing nodded contentedly, casually turning the Sound Transmission Talisman into ashes, waiting for the day of the chap’s Foundation Establishment Ceremony.

He reminisced about his childhood friends who had also reached the Qi Refining Eighth Level and Qi Refining Ninth Layer one after another.

It was just a pity that the family’s heritage was still not deep enough, as for Li Quange, Li Quanshu, Li Quanfu, and Li Quanzhu among others.

Even acquiring a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object was a far-fetched dream.

While pondering, Li Quanqing’s Divine Sense suddenly stirred, discovering a Qi Refining Late Stage Golden Pattern Jade Carp, carrying a Light Group back and forth, with an exceptionally strong aura.

[Harvested a Qi Refining Late Stage Golden Pattern Jade Carp, reward Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object "Dragon Snake True Evil" in a bottle!]

Li Quanqing delightedly collected the bottle of Dragon Snake True Evil, handling it like an old pro, extremely familiar with such Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects.

"Who should I give it to... Golden Flame Tiger? Step Cloud Snow Leopard? Thunder Horn Python Queen? Or the little Golden Scaled Pangolin?"

Li Quanqing pondered with frustration. There were too many Spiritual Beasts; there simply wasn’t enough to go around.

Moreover, a single Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object was not truly guaranteed to ensure that the young beasts could break through their bloodline constraints and advance to become Second-stage Demon Beasts.

"Let’s hold onto it for now and see who reaches the Qi Refining Ninth Layer first. I’ll give this bottle of Dragon Snake True Evil to them."

Li Quanqing made his decision. After all, nearly a hundred Golden Pattern Jade Carps in his pond were already at the Qi Refining Middle Stage.

When the time came for their collective breakthrough, there wouldn’t be a lack of Spiritual Objects like the Dragon Snake True Evil.

Back in the Jade Dragon Pond, because the feeding frequency for these Green Jade Carps was very low, only a very small number of Spirit Fish managed to generate light groups as rewards, far less than his home pond where the carps were raised from birth and had a higher burst rate.

The fishing boat gently swayed, slowly making its way into the deeper waters of Jade Dragon Pond. Here, one could already sense an oppressive aura covering the entire surface of the water.

It was the imposing pressure of a high-ranking Demon Beast, asserting its status and territory.

Soon, Li Quanqing caught sight of the Guardian Clan Spirit Venerable and Ao Qing, surrounded by dozens of Green Jade Carp aberrants that bore large patches of golden scales.

These were the direct descendants of the Spirit Venerable, each looking distinguished with prominent features and a majestic appearance, their fins broad like sweeping clouds, also known as the young Green Dragons.

Among this shoal, to his surprise, was one that had made a breakthrough. Its head shone brilliantly, materializing the shape of a light group.

[You’ve harvested a Golden Pattern Jade Carp at Qi Refining Late Stage, rewarded with 12 drops of Heavenly One Spirit Liquid!]

Such an abundance of Spiritual Liquid, quite nice!

Li Quanqing nodded in satisfaction. Observing the sizable group of young Green Dragons, he took out a high-grade fish bait specifically for feeding.

Splash! Splash!

The Green Jade Carps churned the water, their massive forms creating waves upon waves. The younger, more mischievous ones would even spit out Water Arrows, which landed on the fishing boat with a pattering sound.

After advancing to Green Horned Fish Dragons, they would break free from their bloodline constraints, allowing them to breed freely at will.

However, it was a shame Ao Qing, that fellow, was not competitive. With his mind fixated on Dragon Transformation and cultivation, he had no interest in passing on his Jiao Long bloodline.

"Roar~"

Along with a melodious dragon chant, the water in the pond bulged into a large swell, and then Ao Qing’s huge head emerged, the flow of water crashing down like a waterfall.

It shook its lone Green Jade horn atop its head and affectionately rubbed against its master. Its body exuded a robust and deep aura, apparently reaching a certain limit.

"Are you ready for your breakthrough?"

Li Quanqing smiled faintly. It was through the Slave Beast Seal that Ao Qing had conveyed his impending breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, prompting Li Quanqing to come here.

He opened his Storage Bag and took out a Jade Bottle. Even before opening it, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out, refreshing and invigorating.

This was the Heart-Clearing Barrier-Breaking Pill, capable of aiding a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in breaking through to the middle stage, packed with abundant Spiritual Energy and medicinal power. Naturally, it could also be given to Spiritual Beasts.

Li Quanqing had obtained it during the extermination of the Situ Family. Initially prepared for the Dragon Flame Eagle, he kept it until now after acquiring the Leaving Flame Golden Pill.

Ao Qing’s eyes fixated on the Jade Bottle, instinctively sensing the benefits it would bring and getting visibly excited.

Yet, Li Quanqing was in no hurry. He first fed it a few drops of the Heavenly One Spirit Liquid and, only after ensuring Ao Qing was in prime condition, did he start feeding it the Heart-Clearing Barrier-Breaking Pill.

Upon swallowing the Elixir, it immediately transformed into overwhelmingly pure medicinal power that surged violently. The essence of heaven and earth flooded in, swallowed by Ao Qing into its belly.

It leapt and soared into the Heavenly Vault, calling upon the wind and rain, riding the clouds, and letting out an immensely satisfying roar. Around it, Demon Energy billowed, like a green demonic cloud suspended overhead.

Within the fluctuating Demon Energy, a green moon slowly rose, illuminating every direction with a clear, gentle, and dazzling brilliance.

Finally, Ao Qing successfully broke through the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, revealing a light group above its head.

[You’ve harvested a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Green Horned Fish Dragon, rewarded with a Golden Core Talismanic Treasure ’Fish-Dragon Spear’!]
