Chapter 234: Dew, Sweet Spring, Spiritual Water Transformation (First Update)
The unobtrusive attitude of this white cloud made Li Qing a little dumbfounded.
With a flick of his hand, Aoki True Essence gushes out from his dantian, turning into sweet rain that fills the sky, scattering to the ground, creating ripples in the lake.
The white clouds flew around the rainy area, and then swayed from side to side: "Just give it a try..."
Li Qing:......
Seeing that Li Qing was silent, Bai Yun seemed a little angry and shouted, "I'll show you how powerful I am!"
As it spoke, it suddenly jumped up into the sky, shook its body slightly, and then a drizzle of rain fell down.
Li Qing casually took a handful and sensed it carefully with his spiritual consciousness. At first glance, it was no different from his own Ganlin.
But soon, he discovered that the rain was thicker and more textured than the rain, and it also had a vague aroma.
He pondered for a moment, then threw out a piece of waterweed seeds, which fell on the lake and floated leisurely.
The raindrops fell on it, stimulating the vitality of the seeds. After a while, green aquatic plants grew out.
Li Qing's consciousness was firmly locked on, and he soon made a discovery: "Well, with the same spiritual energy content, the time for water plants to sprout is shortened by one-third."
"In addition, the newly born aquatic plants seem to be more active, with strong roots and fat leaves. They are better able to adapt to harsh environments than those nourished by sweet rain."
But that's not the main thing.
I saw the snails that originally lived at the bottom of the lake surfaced one after another, opened their shells, stretched out their heads and drank the rainwater.
Other fish, shrimps, crabs and shells also swarmed up, and for a while, the nearby waters became extremely lively.
Li Qing was slightly surprised: "Do you even like animals so much?"
His nectar, used to feed animals, is indeed more popular than ordinary water containing spiritual energy.
But I have never seen a scene where small animals come over on their own initiative and compete to catch the rain and drink.
Li Qing had no choice but to raise his head, face the white clouds above him, and express sincerely: "Well, you are more powerful..."
The white cloud fell lightly and swayed in front of Li Qing, seeming to "hum" with some satisfaction.
Li Qing chuckled lightly and did not care about it: "I wonder if you have attracted me here, what advice can you give me?"
This is the cave of Canglang Shuijun. The master is still there. How can a mere foundation-building monk sense any opportunity?
It was purely "opportunity" that came to me.
Baiyun first leaned back slightly, then leaned forward again, and then "poofed" and "vomited" a crystal clear drop of water.
Li Qing used his true energy to catch the water drop steadily: "Is this for me?"
Bai Yun swayed up and down, as if nodding: "Refining, this is a gift for you!"
Li Qing did not hesitate and threw out the fifth-grade green lotus, turning it into the size of a millstone. He sat cross-legged on it and began to refine the water drops.
The Aoki True Essence was wrapped in water drops, fell back to Dantian, and was thrown into the sweet rain condensed by Li Qing.
The two seem to be very compatible. After a while, the water drops merge with the sweet rain, constantly improving their quality.
During the refining process, Li Qing learned that the spiritual water sprinkled by the white clouds, called "anointed dew", was a higher level form of sweet rain.
The two have the same origin but different shapes, so it's no wonder Baiyun took the initiative to invite Li Qing over.
After touching for about half an hour, he successfully refined the water droplets, and the spiritual water in his dantian was divided into upper and lower layers.
The upper layer is the original sweet rain, which is clear and translucent; the lower layer is the newly realized ointment, which is slightly thicker and thicker.
But the two are not distinct, but dynamic transformation, forming a certain cycle.
Every time a cycle is completed, the total amount of spiritual water will be a little more. The amount is not large, but it is better than being used infrequently.
Li Qing opened his eyes, stood up on the green lotus, and bowed solemnly to Bai Yun: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for teaching me how to practice spiritual water!"
Bai Yun nodded slightly to him, without making any request. He only trembled slightly and disappeared from Li Qing's eyes.
After the white clouds disappeared, Li Qing never sensed the call of other spiritual waters again. It was obvious that his fate was over.
He didn't force it, and silently worked on Qinglian, waiting for Chaoyin and Xiaolian to come back.
The two children did not disappoint Li Qing.
"Cuckoo!" Chaoyin flew around Li Qing. As the butterfly wings danced, spiritual water rose up from below, like a spring.
Li Qing took out a jade cup, scooped out half of it, and sensed with his spiritual consciousness: "Huh? Why is there a faint aroma of wine?"
"Cucka, coo, coo!" Chaoyin danced and introduced the whole story to him with his spiritual consciousness.
It turns out that it encountered a spring, and with its help, the sweet rain derived another change - "Liquan".
This kind of spiritual water naturally has a light aroma of wine. Drinking it for a long time has the miraculous effect of nourishing the soul.
It is said that the Phoenix clan's divine bird "铓鶵" will not eat unless it is a phoenix tree, and it will not drink unless it is a sweet spring.
Among them, Liquan refers to this. In common folk, it is also called "Jiuquan".
The effect of this Liquan actually overlaps with that of ointment, but it has a miraculous effect in brewing spiritual wine, and it can also attract spiritual birds to drink.
"Good guy, you like to make spiritual meals, so why are you destined to use the spiritual water that can be paired with wine?" Li Qing was a little dumbfounded, and looked at Xiaolian again.
Xiaolian was lower-key than Chaoyin, her wings flapped slightly, and mist still fell.
Li Qing touched some of it and realized it slightly, and found that it actually had some kind of magical power, which could be used to cast spells to subdue demons and eliminate demons, with a bonus of about one-fifth.
"Gujiguji!" Xiaolian and Li Qing's spiritual consciousness communicated, and they also introduced their own experiences.
It encountered a golden bowl filled with this spiritual water called "Dharma Water".
Unlike Li Qing and Chao Yin who were given directly, this golden bowl also comes with its own test. Xiao Lian needs to go through three illusions before the reward is given.
Xiao Lian was unwilling to mention the specific illusion, and Li Qing also respected its wishes and did not ask in detail.
It is only known that it is generally about the debate between good and evil, the struggle between good and evil, and the difference between immortals and demons. The proposition is very grand and the angle is very tricky.
Although there is no fixed answer, it also makes Xiao Lian a little exhausted. After telling the story, she returned to the Dantian.
As for Asun and Asao, they really didn't encounter any opportunities in this big lake.
Obviously, Sang Yuwan's news is accurate. Without mastering a spiritual water, it is difficult to gain anything in this secret realm.
"Oh! Wrong decision!" Li Qing suddenly remembered something, "Just now in Canglang Water Palace, I should have called them all out!"
"At least I could have had three more cups of wine and five more dishes... But the situation was unclear at that time, so it's understandable to keep some tricks."
Before he finished speaking, Li Qing's nose moved slightly, and he suddenly smelled the aroma of fine wine and delicacies.
He turned his head and found that there were four servings of wine and dishes floating behind him, each served in a golden cup and jade plate.
Li Qing was stunned for a moment, and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Lord!" Then he called Ah Sun and the other four out to enjoy a feast.
"Yaaa!" "Wu Li!" "Gu Ka!" "Gu Ji!" The four little guys ate deliciously.
Li Qing smiled slightly, sat down cross-legged, and began to try to transform the sweet rain and ointment into sweet spring.
As for the magic water, it seemed to be spiritual water from another realm. He had some difficulty in understanding it, so he put it aside for the time being.
Soon, another layer of spiritual water was added to Li Qing's Dantian, with the sweet spring at the top, the sweet rain in the middle, and the ointment at the bottom.
The three continued to transform themselves, slowly increasing the total amount of spiritual water.
"This trip to the secret realm is really fruitful!" Li Qing smiled and sighed.
At this time, Asun and the other four had eaten up all the wine and food, and there was no juice left in the golden cups or jade plates, which was simply shining.
The little guys were full of wine and food, leaning comfortably on Li Qing, admiring the vast lake.
Until the sky suddenly darkened, the entire lake turned into nothingness.
Li Qing looked around and found that Sang Yuwan and Niu Xinjing were meditating and practicing not far away.
The blood dragon eel was released at some point and circled around Sang Yuwan to protect him. When he saw Li Qing coming, he nodded to him.
Seeing this, Li Qing did not approach and waited for the two to finish their practice and wake up.
Judging from the energy of their bodies, both Sang Yuwan's "Longquan" and Niu Xinjing's "Yuelu" have made obvious progress.
