Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Ao Qing’s Breakthrough
"Second Rank Foundation Establishment Great Demon...meat?"
Li Quanqing looked at the huge piece of hind leg meat in front of him, larger than a tiled house; the strong smell of blood drilled into his nose, quite suffocating.
Just a few days ago, he had witnessed from a distance the might of a Foundation Establishment Great Demon, its demon energy skyrocketing, causing the wind and clouds to change dramatically.
To think that in the blink of an eye, he would see a blood-drenched Great Demon lying on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.
There was a strong sense of unreality.
"It’s a pity this Great Demon’s meat isn’t abundant, I can only give you this much."
Li Kunli shook his head, seeming to regret not encountering an even more powerful demon beast.
"So, what kind of demon beast is this?"
Li Quanqing asked curiously, the meat was bloody and looked very fresh, still steaming hot as if it had been chopped off not long ago.
"A huge toad, it’s a bit ugly, but the meat of spirit frogs is always delicious, you can try it."
Li Kunli spoke nonchalantly.
"Ribbit!"
The Treasure Light Toad, squatting on the Great Demon’s flesh, was ready to absorb the treasure energy for cultivation, but upon hearing this, its eyes widened instantly.
Scared and shivering.
After Li Quanqing sent the Third Elder away, he began to ponder how to handle this piece of Great Demon’s flesh.
"Ao Qing, I’ll give you a piece first!"
Li Quanqing took out the Sea Suppressing Sword Embryo, displayed the Azure Water Sword Technique, with light flowing and fluctuating on the blade’s surface, he cut off a large piece of blood meat rich in demon energy.
This was from a Foundation Establishment Great Demon, the Green Carp Sword simply couldn’t cut it, he had to use a spiritual artifact.
"Mooh-mooh~"
Ao Qing poked its large head out from under the sea, having already smelled the blood, its mouth watering.
Li Quanqing specifically chose a part where the demon energy was the most abundant.
To humans, the demon energy contained in demon beast meat is troublesome and needs to be carefully removed, but for the Demon Clan, it is a nourishing delicacy.
"Mooh~"
Ao Qing swallowed the piece of toad meat and immediately started slapping the water excitedly, like a happy child weighing tens of tons.
Raising huge waves in the fish pond.
[I Want to Be a Dragon]Ao Qing (Green Jade Carp): "Delicious delicious delicious! The tastiest food I’ve ever eaten in my life, I feel like the Dragon Transformation is right in front of me!"
[Cultivation: Qi Refining Sixth Level (92%)]
"After digesting this piece of Great Demon’s flesh, Ao Qing should be able to break through!"
Li Quanqing rubbed his hands together, full of anticipation.
Seeing the other Spiritual Beasts looking eagerly, he wasn’t stingy and distributed a piece to each of them, with sizes varying according to their cultivation level.
In the blink of an eye, only a small half remained of the large piece of hind leg meat.
"Let’s save the rest of this meat to make fish bait and slowly feed it to the fish school in the future."
Li Quanqing made a decision, and then cut a piece of meat for himself, removed the demon energy, and simply pan-fried it in an iron pot.
The taste was indeed good; it was soft, chewy, with a strong seafood aroma, very tender, and had rich layers of flavor.
Indeed, it was the most delicious demon beast meat he’d eaten in over twenty years.
"Would it be too evil of me to think about slaughtering adult Foundation Establishment demon beasts for meat in the future, and making contracts of servitude with the little ones to raise and harvest light groups?"
As Li Quanqing ate, he revealed a villainous smile, laughing eerily.
The next few days were calm, with no trace of any demon beasts in the Green Jade Sea Domain.
Thanks to Li Quanqing’s warning, the Foundation Establishment Elder stationed at the Whale Emperor Fang made a timely move, and with the help of an array, he slew that half-demon at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Even though several Foundation Establishment Great Demons appeared afterward, catching them off-guard, fortunately, the Sword Arrays of the Shuihua Sword Sect were strong enough to hold out until the Human Clan Cultivators arrived.
Instead, it was the Demon Clan that suffered heavy losses.
Because of this, the Li Family even received commendations from the Upper Sect.
Additionally, as Li Kunli made his first move at the Whale Emperor Fang, revealing his Foundation Establishment cultivation and his astounding combat prowess, the prestige of the Green Jade Li Family grew more and more.
There seems to be a trend surpassing the Yun Family of Carefree Island, becoming the second Foundation Establishment Family.
However, what puzzled Li Quanqing was that the Situ Family seemed almost invisible during this Demon Beast tide incident.
Even the Shuihua Sword Sect didn’t trouble them afterward, as if they were brewing something big.
Amidst this tranquil time, the Demon Beasts in Fish-Dragon Pool were also gradually maturing, ushering in a harvest season.

Li Quanqing touched the moist Azure Water Python offspring; the batch previously hatched had finally reached maturity.
In addition to the familiar Light Group rewards, he had also gathered the shards for two Azure Water Shuttles, which hung over the sea surface like two transparent crystal blue coffins.
"The Azure Water Shuttle is a top-notch magical treasure used for escaping; might as well keep them for Li Quanshu and Li Quanmo to use, no need to sell them."
Li Quanqing thought; now in charge of Baoying Fang, his daily income was astronomical, and he was entirely without the need for Spirit Stones.
It could be said that he had reached a level of wealth freedom that countless Loose Cultivators could only dream of.
[Harvest a Qi Refining Early Stage Azure Water Python, reward one First Rank Low Grade Array experience group!]
Li Quanqing touched the last Azure Water Python and was pleasantly surprised by the Light Group reward he had never seen before.
Array experience?
I could become an Array Master too!
Li Quanqing was thrilled.
A vast expanse of knowledge appeared out of thin air, pouring into him like an epiphany, and the information streamed into his mind.
Let me learn it!
Learn it deeply!
Li Quanqing sat down with closed eyes in meditation; his soul’s strength had almost reached the Qi Refinement limit and naturally grasped this voluminous art from the Cultivation Hundred Arts.
Array Master!
"Was this reward specially given because my Sword Array setup was too crude?"
Li Quanqing exhaled a turbid breath, somewhat amused by the situation.
Now that he grasped the basics of arrays, he could fully unleash the power of the Azure Water Sword Formation, understanding that there was much to consider in the setup of an array.
In the following days, Li Quanqing inspected Ao Qing daily to check the progress of its cultivation.
True to its status as the king of roll-makers in the pond, Ao Qing cultivated diligently day and night, and with the catalysis of Great Demon Blood and Flesh, it made daily progress.
"Tomorrow is the agreed day; Sword Treasure Tower should be delivering the Canghai Whale to Fish-Dragon Island."
That night, with the full moon hanging high and casting silver light across the sky, creating a gleaming ripple on the water.
Li Quanqing sat on the dike, watching Ao Qing practice under the moonlight, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, finally filling up the last bit of its progress.
Whoo~
The wind rose, and Spiritual Energy from the heaven and earth converged, forming a whirlpool visible to the naked eye, all being swallowed by Ao Qing.
Wisp by wisp, strands of Demon Energy emerged from beneath its scales, coalescing into a cloud of Demon Energy that refracted the moonlight as if a second Taiyin Bright Moon had formed overhead.
Thousands of Green Jade Carps covered the water’s surface. Countless more large bluefish joined in the inhalation and exhalation, drawing in the Moonlight and supplying their king with power for cultivation.
With the moon above the carp heads, illuminating the scale armor, as green and lustrous as jade, their bodies full of clear Demon Energy like glaze, spreading a holy aura all around.
"How is it that Ao Qing seems to have even stronger Cultivation talent than I do?"
Li Quanqing watched the moon formed by Demon Energy, feeling somewhat sour.
It originally was a future peerless prodigy of the Demon Clan!
The Fish-Dragon Pool was bustling with energy, as all the Spiritual Beasts on the island converged to witness Ao Qing’s breakthrough, the pet fish beloved by their master.
The Dragon Flame Eagle perched on a cliff, longing to swallow the big fish on the water that also housed an extremely pure Jiao Long Bloodline!
Sadly, it was completely out of reach.
The breakthrough went exceedingly smooth, Ao Qing effortlessly overcame the bottleneck, and a stream of white energy swirled, forming a Light Group on its forehead.
