Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Golden Toad Breakthrough
Drip-drop!
Li Quanqing held up the teacup in front of him, letting a drop of pale cyan Wind Spirit Liquid fall into it, the fragrance of the tea assaulting the senses.
In the next moment, the Wind Spirit Liquid dissipated in the cup, dyeing the amber-colored tea water with a beautiful touch of light cyan.
"Ssss~"
Above his head, the delicate and exquisite Thunder Horn Python whimpered pitifully, completely unable to control its own body, floating in the air like a balloon.
A thread of mana formed a long line, coiling around the body of the young snake, with the other end connected to Li Quanqing’s little finger, swaying in the air.
"So this is one of the effects of the Wind Spirit Liquid, drinking too much results in defying gravity, floating into the sky?"
Li Quanqing found this quite interesting.
He drained the tea in his cup in one gulp. The tea aroma was rich, initially returning a fresh and sweet taste, with a clean fragrance welling up between teeth and tongue afterward, as if standing in a mountain forest after the rain.
When all the flavors slowly drifted away, leaving only a faint and unforgettable sour sweetness, it made an impression.
"The lingering sour sweetness must be the taste of the Wind Spirit Liquid, not as rich in fragrance and complex as the aroma of the tea."
Li Quanqing was pondering this when a gush of Wind Spiritual Power suddenly burst from his belly, transforming into strands of breeze that penetrated into his flesh and blood.
Indeed, it made him feel much lighter, as if unshackled and at ease.
After contemplating for a moment, he outright put all the tea leaves in the cup into his mouth, and instantly a taste of astringency bloomed on the tip of his tongue.
However, the Wind Spiritual Power inside him surged even more fiercely, as if spreading through every inch of skin and muscle, an unprecedented lightness.
Step!
Li Quanqing stood up and took a gentle leap, instantly moving three to four zhang away as if unaffected by gravity.
It felt like walking in space.
"The taste is beyond reproach, and with such a unique effect, it should be very popular among cultivators."
Li Quanqing commented, while the Golden Flame Tiger beside him could not wait any longer, swallowing all the remaining tea water, experiencing the same intoxicating effect.
After a good half an hour, the effect of the Spiritual Tea finally faded, and the Thunder Horn Python returned to the ground, not daring to be greedy anymore.
In the blink of an eye, two to three months had passed.
Li Quanqing sat cross-legged on the beach, surrounded by Golden Marrow Jade scattered all around, the sun making the jade stones glitter and shine, the golden jade seemingly in gentle flux, resplendent with golden light.
The youth held a Jade in his mouth, executing the Glazed Jade Bone Skill, stream after stream of jade essence qi drilling into his body through his nostrils, nearly visible to the naked eye.
As the cultivation technique operated, the layer of jade-colored luster on his skin slowly faded away, returning to the normal human complexion, fair with a rosy undertone.
The so-called Glazed Body is crystal clear and translucent, returning to the true form of all things.
"Huuh!!"
Li Quanqing opened his eyes, exhaling a three-foot-long breath of white air, from which, amidst the tumultuous flow, fine jade chips fluttered out.
"Glazed Body!"
He activated his cultivation technique, and his skin suddenly became as translucent as glazed armor, refracting colorful hues in the sunlight, the light glimmering and flowing.
Upon closer inspection, there were fine threads of gold running on the surface of the Glazed Body, like the veins of the human body.
The final threshold was indeed difficult, comparable to the strength of a Body Refining Practitioner at the level of Qi Refining Perfection.
But once mastered, there would be no difficulty in the physical trial among the three barriers of Foundation Establishment.
Capable of withstanding the torrential infusion of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi when breaking through.
"Quack! Quack!"
The Treasure Light Toad squatted on the small jade mountain, its belly swelling and deflating rhythmically, its gem-like eyes sparkling brilliantly.
It suddenly pushed with its hind legs, leaping onto Li Quanqing’s head, drawing in the treasure aura in huge gulps, its limbs quivering slightly with pleasure, contentedly squinting its eyes.
In its view, Li Quanqing at this moment was engulfed in a radiant treasure light, undoubtedly a piece of excellent strange treasure.
The fact was indeed so, with his current Physical Treasure Body, he was enough to never decay after death, shimmering brightly.
If those practitioners of the demon path saw him, he would definitely be the top material for corpse refining; no doubt they would abduct and kill him, gut him, and bury him in a land of extreme yin and evil for a hundred years.
Absolutely, they could refine an unparalleled and fierce zombie of the demon path, causing even those at the Foundation Establishment to pale at the sight.
"Eh, turns out it’s about to make a breakthrough in the Qi Refining Middle Stage!"
Li Quanqing petted the Golden Toad on his head, easily seeing through its cultivation, somewhat impatient.
"Here, have something good!"
He took out the ice blue Golden Core Feather, the thick layer of ice around it had melted away a bit, yet it still emitted a bone-chilling cold.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
From Li Quanqing’s Dantian, three strands of Ice Soul Cold Light shot out, traveling through the meridians in his fingers and swirling and dancing around the feather.
The young cultivator channeled his mana, deploying the exquisite skill "Ice Soul Cold Light" to extract cold energy from the feather in his cultivation, another strand of cold light slowly condensing into shape, crystal clear in color.
Under his suppression, the chill from the ice blue demon feather had already been curtailed to the extreme, no longer that bone-piercing cold, leaving only a bit of chill.
"Gua!"
The Treasure Light Toad ultimately couldn’t resist the temptation of the Golden Core Demon and leaped onto the block of ice, voraciously inhaling the brilliant treasure light entwined on the feather.
Crack!
A layer of frost spread out, nearly freezing half of the Golden Toad’s body, making it appear as if it was emerging from an ice sculpture.
Fortunately, the Treasure Light Toad was after all a Demon Beast, with a strong physique and tenacious vitality, unlikely to be in danger for the time being.
By the time Li Quanqing refined the fourth strand of Ice Soul Cold Light, the Golden Toad had also finally completed the last bit of progress.
Pale golden Demon Energy surged forth, scrambling out from the copper coin bumps on the back of the Treasure Light Toad, transforming into a five-colored treasure light, extraordinary and mystifying under the sunlight.
It made it seem as though it was a three-legged Golden Toad that had fallen from the Immortal Realm, treading on multicolored auspicious clouds, breathing in and out good fortune, exuding a beaded treasure aura, magnificently priceless.
Would there be a light group reward?
Li Quanqing put away the Ice Feather, holding the Golden Toad in his hands, feeling quite nervous in his heart.
This was his first time raising a grown Demon Beast, not starting from a cub.
If his guess was successful, the range of Spiritual Beasts he could choose from in the future would undoubtedly be much wider, saving time without having to start from scratch, raising those beasts from their infancy.
"Gua!!"
The Treasure Light Toad’s belly swelled, and with a sudden, extremely loud croak that thundered like rolling thunder, its aura churned violently.
Moments later, a crackling sound emerged from within, like the shattering of jade stone, successfully breaking through the bottleneck and entering a new realm.
The Golden Toad’s size suddenly expanded, its color becoming even more dazzlingly golden, like a golden statue, with a dozen more copper coins emerging on its back, lifelike, which could be used to identify higher-grade treasures.
Also at this moment, slight wisps of white flow seeped out from all over the Golden Toad’s body, eventually forming into a light group that hung there, alluring in color.
It really was possible!
The boulder in Li Quanqing’s heart finally settled.
He almost couldn’t wait to reach out his hand, gently touching the light group, feeling soft to the touch, both slippery and springy.
[Acquired a Qi Refining Middle Stage Treasure Light Toad, rewarded with the special constitution "Multi-treasure Spirit Eyes"!]
