Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Elder Quanqing
Li Quanqing removed the Jade Scroll from his forehead, feeling a tingling at the back of his head.
To cultivate this high-grade wonderful technique to a minor achievement, it would require no fewer than four hundred and thirty pieces of hundred-year Ice Souls.
It is feared that the entire Yun Family would be unable to gather so many Ice Souls.
After all, the climate of the East Sea was warm and pleasant, unlike the Northern Cold Plain, where extreme cold and ice are commonplace with heavenly materials and earthly treasures visible everywhere.
Li Quanqing pondered for a moment, then suddenly took out a piece of ice encased in layers of Azure Sea Magic Power from his Storage Bag.
Li Quanqing dissipated the mana, and instantly a shocking burst of cold air surged out, like a white giant python, emanating from his palm.
Crack crack!
In the blink of an eye, a thick layer of ice began to form from beneath his feet, turning into a terrifying white ice cap. The waves of the sea surged and were directly frozen into chunks in midair.
Li Quanqing shook off the frost on his body and saw a quiet, ice-blue feather lying in the center of his palm, wrapped in a lake-like layer of ice, beautiful and enchanting.
"This treasure should also be able to assist in the cultivation of Ice Soul Cold Light, right?"
Li Quanqing thought, finally feeling confident to commence the cultivation of this high-grade wonderful technique.
...
"Slave Beast Seal!"
With the sound of waves echoing, Li Quanqing sat cross-legged on the levee, his single hand constantly sealing, with soul power mixed with mana surging out, converging at his fingertips.
Buzz buzz!
The air vibrated as a nearly transparent pale white seal emerged in front of him, its light constantly flowing, resembling a twisted and entwined circular shape.
"Success!"
A hint of joy flashed in Li Quanqing’s eyes.
After all, it was just a wonderful method of enslaving spiritual beasts, with a very low difficulty of cultivation, requiring only a powerful cultivation base.
"Come here, let’s give you a tattoo!"
He looked down, holding the small seal in one hand, and dragged over the baby Thunder Horn Python with the other hand.
After this period of feeding, the female snake had grown to the thickness of a finger, its scales shimmering beautifully, the single horn on its head dazzling like a golden crystal.
"Hiss hiss~"
Watching the radiant Slave Beast Seal in front of her, the Thunder Horn Python Queen became alert, instinctively resisting. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
"Good girl, here’s something tasty~"
Li Quanqing was skilled at this, taking out a sticky paste food made from a mix of Thunder Crystal Fragments, dried spirit peach meat, and Soul Nourishing Water, among other things.
"Hiss hiss!"
Smelling the familiar aroma, the baby Thunder Horn Python immediately let down its guard and started to gobble it up.
Its languid way of eating relaxed its whole body, making it malleable to the handler’s actions.
Seeing this, Li Quanqing smiled slightly and brought the copper coin-sized seal to the forehead of the Thunder Horn Python.
Buzz!!
The Slave Beast Seal trembled lightly, detecting the scent of the spiritual beast’s soul, and actively burrowed into the Heavenly Spirit Bone, disappearing from sight.
Li Quanqing’s heart stirred, feeling a faint presence of soul power, youthful yet full of wild nobility.
That was the soul of the Thunder Horn Python Queen!
"Be loyal to me!"
He activated the Slave Beast Seal, continuously releasing a certain message, drilling towards the soul true spirit of the Thunder Horn Python, like brainwashing.
The Thunder Horn Python originally wanted to resist, but after sensing his aura, it hesitated for a moment and then completely relaxed.
The Slave Beast Seal easily penetrated into the soul true spirit, incessantly transmitting the "loyalty" signal, subtly and constantly brainwashing.
Hand over your loyalty to me!
"Hiss hiss~"
After implanting the Slave Beast Seal, the effect was indeed very good, immediately apparent.
After finishing its meal, the Thunder Horn Python affectionately rubbed against his palm with its flickering tongue, a tingling pleasure felt, a hint of closeness now visible in its blue-purple vertical pupils.
"The soul of a young beast is weak, the most vulnerable time, but the consumption is really not small."
Li Quanqing dropped two drops of Taiyin Soul Nourishing Water, held the Soul Nourishing Wood Bracelet in his hand, and began to meditate and recuperate.
After replenishing the consumed soul power completely and recovering his spirits, he followed the same method, applying the Slave Beast Seal individually to Ao Qing and the Golden Flame Tiger.
Ao Qing goes without saying, having been raised from a youngling, he’s the most affectionate and was easily subjected to my True Spirit.
The Golden Flame Tiger is also unprincipled, thinking it was to be baptized with mana, it happily accepted the Slave Beast Seal with its dumb and adorable large eyes.
"Done!"
Li Quanqing let out a breath of turbid air, feeling three subtle soul presences, able to discern the thoughts in the Spiritual Beasts’ hearts.
Quite convenient.
There was no need for the other Spiritual Beasts; their potential was too low, like the Azure Water Python and that bunch of crummy crabs, Qi Refining Middle Stage was already their growth limit.
If they dare to revolt against my human tyranny, they’ll face a sword each.
...
[Harvested a mature Big Green Fish, rewarded with three pieces of Spirit Sand!]
[Harvested a mature Big Green Fish, rewarded with a Low Grade Water Arrow Talisman!]
Waves churned as steps blossomed into lotuses, lifting Li Quanqing’s feet, making him unsinkable by water, while his green robe rustled noisily.
With a flick of his finger, his Water Control Skill was divinely mastered, turning into a translucent net that fiercely scooped up thousands of Big Green Fish.
The abundance of such creatures was too great; they reproduced by themselves, and with abundant food and rich spiritual energy in Fish-Dragon Pool, they could be found everywhere.
Li Quanqing would occasionally feed them, then take a day to catch all the mature Big Green Fish that had built up.
[Harvested a mature Big Green Fish, rewarded with two Low Grade Water Arrow Talismans!]
In the Storage Bag, the Light Group dissipated, turning into two thick and stiff water-blue Talismans, with glowing spirit patterns shaping into the form of water arrows.
In a corner nearby, there were about six or seven thousand of these Water Arrow Talismans, piled into a mountain, almost filling up the Storage Bag.
In fact, these Water Arrow Talismans were quite powerful, comparable to a strike from a Qi Refining Third Layer Cultivator, and very popular with Loose Cultivators.
In another Storage Bag, it was filled with scattered Spirit Sands, with their treasure light sparkling and spiritual energy misty, also amounting to several thousand pieces.
[Harvested a mature Big Green Fish, rewarded with a miniature Spiritual Energy Group!]
A thread of nature’s spiritual energy was spontaneously born in the meridians; in a blink of an eye, it was refined by him into mana and entered the Dantian.
And then there was nothing more.
Li Quanqing realized that, judging by his Cultivation, there were four tiers of Spiritual Energy Groups.
Miniature, small, regular Spiritual Energy Groups, and finally the large ones.
Such as the miniature Spiritual Energy Group awarded by the Big Green Fish, it merely sufficed as the cost for him to perform one Spell.
Better than nothing.
Buzz—
Li Quanqing dispersed the net of water, ready to change places to continue fishing when the Island Protection Array Plate in his embrace suddenly got triggered by someone.
Who could be visiting me at this hour?
Li Quanqing took out the Array Plate and, following the directions, arrived at the spot, actually seeing a towering figure like an iron tower.
"Hall Master, what brings you here?"
Li Quanqing was immediately alarmed and hurriedly opened the Array to let the Third Elder into Fish-Dragon Pool.
"I’ve come to deliver some good news to you."
Li Kunli chuckled heartily, and both of them tread on water, walking across the vast sea surface, their garments fluttering as if they were immortals among men.
"It’s been three years; how come this Longevity Turtle still hasn’t broken through to a Demon Beast?"
The Third Elder looked at the Spirit Turtle lying at the bottom of the pool, fast asleep, and he too was speechless.
"It’s soon, very soon."
Li Quanqing forced a smile; after devouring a large quantity of Demon Beast Meat, the creature’s maturity was already over eighty percent, likely needing nearly a year more.
He then set up a wooden table and cushion on the embankment, a clay stove with glowing coals, warming wine and brewing tea, gazing out at the vast green waves, the vast and misty water, teeming with Spirit Fish, which was quite a sight.
Li Kunli shook his head, took out a Jade Token from his Storage Bag, and handed it to the young man: "Take it, this is the family’s reward for you."
"What’s this, my Identity Jade?"
Li Quanqing did not take it, as he had one such token himself, proving his identity as a member of the Green Jade Li Clan.
"Wrong, this is not just an ordinary Identity Jade, but an Elder’s Order."
The Third Elder paused for a moment and continued: "From today on, you lad are now a genuine Elder of our clan."
"Quanqing the Elder, congratulations!"
