Chapter 200 Mutated Demonic Turtle
The entrance to the cave was a circle larger than the millstone. After finding the location, Ji An whispered a few words and explained his plan.

He cast the Entanglement spell on a water plant, and a dark green aura enveloped it. The water plant, which had lost its buoyancy and was lying limp, immediately grew wildly and danced madly.

He stretched out his hand, and the water plants immediately wrapped around his arm.

Ji An slowly and forcefully tore the water plants apart, carefully feeling the plants' toughness.

It is slightly less resilient than grass on land, but it is sufficient.

He stuck his head down above the cave entrance, used the entanglement technique, and tied himself with two water plants to prevent himself from falling.

Pointing the mouth of the Purple Fire Gourd towards the cave entrance, he transmitted the message again:

"let's start."

Liang Qiu released the explosive fire technique to bombard the cave entrance, creating a noise.

Although he practiced water-based skills, every cultivator had a romantic feeling towards fire-based magic.

They didn't know the situation in the cave, so it would be better to lure the monster out of the cave.

It is difficult to lure the monster ashore, but it is very likely that the sleeping monster will not be able to tolerate setting off firecrackers at its doorstep.

If the monsters can tolerate this, they can only respect the enemy as a real turtle.

It turns out that turtle-like monsters also have bad tempers and are grumpy when they wake up.

The turtle monster rushed out with its teeth bared. Just when half of its body was out, a ball of fire sprayed down, aiming at the turtle monster's head.

The demon's head, as thick as an arm, was immediately roasted to eight-tenths done, with white smoke coming out of its mouth.

It didn't even have a chance to retract into its shell before it was roasted to death on the spot, its limbs and tail twitching reflexively.

The flame in the purple fire gourd has been brewing for several years. Even the monsters in the late stage of foundation building cannot withstand it, let alone the fragile head of the monsters in the early stage of foundation building!

Although the turtle monster's head has hard bones, it is of no use in the face of flames that are far beyond its ability to withstand.

"It's that simple?!"

Liang Qiu didn't know what to say. The monster that almost tore his protective aura apart died so quickly. He felt his face getting slightly hot.

As he spoke, he hurriedly used his object control technique to pick up the monster's corpse and did some work to cover up his embarrassment.

Ji An broke free from the entanglement of the water plants and chuckled:
"Yes, it's that simple."

Just like doing math problems in the previous life, it’s not difficult for those who know how to do it, but it’s difficult for those who don’t.

He felt that the turtle demon only had the strength of the first level of foundation building. Facing the attack of the perfect foundation building level, he knelt very cleanly, so he did not experience much pain.

Suddenly, he felt a burst of demonic power at the middle stage of foundation building in the cave, and realized that there was a second demonic beast.

"careful!"

Ji Anci pointed the purple fire gourd at the cave entrance, and a huge turtle with an ice-blue glow on its carapace rushed out, spraying an ice arrow from its mouth.

The carapace of an ordinary water monster turtle is green, and it can release spells like water arrows. This one is a mutant monster.

Ji An did not reveal his spiritual pressure. The turtle demon did not know his level and rushed straight towards him. The temperature around him began to drop.

He judged the trajectory of the spell, slightly sideways to avoid the attack, and once again ignited the flame in the magic weapon.

What greeted the monster was a sea of ​​fire shining with blue light.

The same fate befell the turtle demon. It struggled in the flames and retreated into its shell, but to no avail.

The purple fire gourd was like a flamethrower. Under Ji An's precise control, it burned the monster like a shadow.

In a short while, the turtle demon was completely silent.

Although water can extinguish fire, when it is just a drop in the bucket, it will only fuel the fire.

Ji An released the object control technique to catch the monster, grinning and said:
"It's over. It's completely roasted. I don't know if its essence and blood can still be used."

The turtle monster is a water monster. It was burned to death by flames. Its blood is likely to have deteriorated and lost its water spirit.

He released the entanglement spell and tied up the demon corpse with water plants.

After probing his spiritual sense into the cave for a while, Ji An said:
"I'll go into the cave and take a look."

His spiritual sense went in for more than ten feet, but he did not sense the presence of a third monster inside.

But be careful and go in to investigate.

"Brother, be careful."

Ji An said "hmm", took out a night-shining pearl as big as a pigeon egg to illuminate the cave, and used the water control technique to enter the cave.

After seven or eight steps, the cave begins to go upwards.

He climbed several feet along the passage and saw a halo of light appear in front of him, like a diver seeing a light source outside.

Ji An's heart tightened, and he released the Golden Armor Technique, maxing out his defense, and then slowly rose up.

"Wow!"

He emerged from the water and found that this was actually an underground cave. What came into view was a high platform with traces of human excavation.

The spiritual energy in the cave was extremely rich, far exceeding the level of a mid-grade spiritual vein. He felt that it was at the level of a top-grade spiritual vein.

Above the cave, there is an egg-sized night-shining pearl inlaid, and next to it is a black bead of the same size.

There are several water-based spiritual plants growing by the water, emitting a faint light.

Based on the depth of the Black Dragon Pond, there shouldn't be areas without water unless there are things like water-repellent beads nearby.

Ji An jumped onto the platform cautiously and found a skeleton in a Taoist robe leaning against the wall.

A few feet next to the skeleton, there was a pile of giant white eggs with blue spots on the surface, the size of casserole dishes.

It was beyond his expectation that a monk would pass away here.

Ji An carefully observed the environment, jumped back into the water, and returned to the cave entrance.

Liang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and asked:
"Brother, what's going on inside?"

"Come with me, there is a small, top-grade spiritual vein in the cave."

The two re-entered the cave and counted their harvest together.

Eighteen turtle eggs, two of which were dead.

Find four lotus pods and get 116 lotus seeds.

Lotus seeds are as big as fingers, emerald green in color, and have dark green patterns on the skin.

There are also six spiritual plants, which are of the same species as the lotus pods. They are all Green Water Spirit Lotuses and are the main ingredients for refining the Green Lotus Pill. The lotus seeds will mature only after they are two hundred years old.

Liang Qiu found a storage bag next to the skeleton. The marks inside had long been worn away by the years, and he easily took out the contents.

A beast-controlling token, a jade identity token, and two jade bottles, both of which were empty.

There are also seven medium-grade spirit stones, more than thirty low-grade spirit stones, a water-blue magic sword, and two jade slips.

The magic sword was dim, probably because it had not been nourished by the monk's magic power for a long time.

"Brother, there's nothing left inside."

Liang Qiu handed over the storage bag, picked up the jade slip and placed it against his forehead, a look of joy immediately appearing on his face.

Ji An probed his spiritual sense into the storage bag and found that it was indeed empty.

Perhaps because of the passage of time, the restrictions in the bag have loosened.

If they had arrived a few years later, the space in the storage bag might have collapsed.

Liang Qiu copied the contents of the jade slip, handed it over, and said with a smile:
"Brother, it contains the experience of breeding spiritual fish, as well as the secret method of cultivating spiritual fish in the foundation-building stage. It will be of great use to me!"

Ji An took the jade slip, looked it over, and made a copy.

This knowledge may not be needed right now, but it may be useful someday.

He pondered:

"The person who passed away was obviously a cultivator from a sect. What are you going to do next?"

Liang Qiu was silent for a long time, then said softly:

"I'll follow my senior brother's arrangements."

Deep down in his heart, he wanted to bury the secrets here forever. This small section of top-grade spiritual vein could help him grow faster.

Ji An smiled at his tone. It was very similar to his mindset after he harvested spiritual objects from the eruption of Red Flame Peak. "Hand in the cultivator's relics. The sect will give you a sufficient reward."

Liang Qiu pursed his lips:

"I'll listen to my senior brother. Let's go and hand it in together."

“Okay, let’s go together.

The relic was found in your dojo, and all the sect's rewards belong to you."

"How can I do this without my brother's help?"

"Junior brother, there's no need to say more."

Ji An interrupted the other party and continued:

"If you hadn't asked me for help, we wouldn't have gained so much."

If the other party doesn't come to him, he will get nothing.

When he came, he thought he could only get some monster materials, but who knew there was a windfall waiting for him.

Every sip and every bite is determined by heaven.

Liang Qiu was secretly delighted and said:
"Then, Senior Brother, take 70% of these lotus seeds and monster eggs."

These spiritual objects were the spoils of their slaying of demons and did not need to be handed over to the sect.

He was glad that he had decided to ask his senior brother for help. If he had reported it to the sect's law enforcement hall, he would have missed out on this unexpected fortune. After knowing the situation, he would have been so heartbroken that he would have vomited blood.

Ji An shook his head slightly and said with a smile:
"Just split it fifty-fifty. Junior brother, don't talk any more. Let's split it equally.

To be honest, I still benefited from my junior brother’s help.”

Although he put in more effort, all his gains were only possible if the other party asked him for help.

Liang Qiu also smiled and said:
“It is my good fortune to meet my senior brother.

Thank you for your help, brother. Let's split it equally."

"Junior brother, these lotus seeds can be used to refine the Green Lotus Pill, which is exactly what I need urgently. I would like to buy your portion."

"Why not? Take it, brother!"

Liang Qiu agreed very readily, as it could be considered as repaying the favor of his senior brother who had taken care of him.

"Thank you, junior brother."

"Brother, you're too polite. The last monster we killed was probably a mutant of an ordinary water monster turtle. These monster eggs should be able to fetch a good price.

Brother, I'm planning to raise one, what about you?"

It is just right to raise the water monster in the cold pond of Chiyan Peak.

Liang Qiu planned to find a Taoist partner in the future. Turtle-like monsters have a long lifespan, and raising such monsters could also leave a legacy for his descendants.

When his life ends, the monsters he raises can still shield him from the wind and rain.

Ji An frowned slightly and asked:
"Have you checked the monster's bloodline? What grade is it?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell my senior brother that the bloodline of that giant turtle in the middle stage of foundation building has reached the top grade.

These monster eggs clearly inherited the mutant characteristics, I think the bloodline level can be even higher."

"Then try raising one."

Pick out the two turtle eggs with the strongest vitality and give one to each person.

Ji An directly input mana into the egg and began the first stage of nurturing.

The magic power refined by Qingmu Changchun Gong contains vigorous vitality, which is also helpful in improving the vitality of the monster eggs.

The two dragged the turtle's corpse out of the pool. Liang Qiu said:
"Excuse me, Senior Brother. Please deal with the monster materials first. I will go prepare lunch.

There are several kinds of spiritual fish here that are not found in Red Flame Peak and Clear Water Lake. Brother, you can try some of them."

The only thing that Heilongtan does is to breed spiritual fish. He is very familiar with this aspect, so he does not hire any disciples.

"Go ahead, let me see if your skills have improved."

Ji An smiled and said that the other party was a talented chef who knew how to maintain health and nourish the body.

Now most of the recipes of Chiyan Peak are from the other party's hand. The spiritual food they make is not only delicious, but also can fully stimulate the spiritual energy in the ingredients.

"Haha, Senior Brother will see it."

Liang Qiu jumped into the pond, caught a three-foot-long spirit fish, and then went into the kitchen to start working.

Ji An began to dissect the monster. To his surprise, the tortoise shell of the mutant monster had no cracks after high-temperature calcination.

With the Golden Light Technique at the Great Perfection level, cutting monsters is very smooth.

The monster's blood essence was completely wasted. The blue blood was mixed with traces of red fire evil and could not be used to make talisman ink.

He took the medium-rare meat to the kitchen and said:
“Can you cook this?”

"Turtle meat is best stewed, but it requires time and effort. It's too late to serve it as lunch, so it can be a dish for dinner."

"Okay, the monster meat is at the door. I'll go disassemble the remaining turtle."

It was already the afternoon after lunch, so it would be too late to go to the Work Hall and the Beast Taming Hall.

Ji An and the other person sat under the shade of a tree and discussed cultivation, the situation of the sect and how to deal with the outbreak of the demon disaster.

Liang Qiu would occasionally get up and go to the kitchen to add more spiritual charcoal, where turtle soup was still stewing.

I stole a half day of leisure from my busy life, and before I knew it, the sunset had brightened the sky, and the reflections of returning birds were flying across the lake.

Liang Qiu stood up and said with a smile:

"Time flies by while I'm chatting with you, brother. I'm going to prepare dinner."

Ji An took out a communication sword, entered the information and activated it, telling Xia Yuhan and others that he would not return to Chiyan Peak tonight.

After dinner, they both came to the edge of the pond to practice their skills. When Ji An opened his eyes again, there was a sky full of stars above his head.

The shuttle flew through the air at such a speed that only a streak of silver light could be seen.

Cuizhu Peak was already in sight. Ji An began to slow down and finally landed in front of the Beast Taming Palace.

A bearded disciple stepped forward and said in a deep voice:

"Two uncles, what do you need?"

The disciple was quite strong, and the Taoist robe on him looked like a tight-fitting suit.

Ji An gently patted the spirit beast bag:

"Big business has come to us. We are selling a batch of demon beast eggs with top-grade bloodlines."

"Uncle Master, is this the egg of a flying monster?"

"Of course not. It's the egg of a water turtle monster."

The expectation in the sturdy disciple's eyes was immediately extinguished. Xizhou is mountainous, and there are not many people willing to raise water monsters, let alone slow-growing turtle monsters.

If the eggs are from earth or fire demon turtles, they are still okay, but the eggs from water beasts are not easy to sell.

Liang Qiu smiled and said:

"Brother, stop teasing him. We are selling mutant monster eggs, fourteen of them."

The sturdy disciple smiled awkwardly and said:

"Master is actually teasing me. Please wait a moment. I will report to the Palace Master."

Monster beasts with superior bloodlines have a high probability of breaking through to the foundation-building stage.

When a water monster mutates, it will inevitably mutate into ice. This kind of monster is much stronger than its peers in both attack and defense.

The burly disciple unleashed the Wind Control Technique and hurried to the main hall at the back. A quarter of an hour later, he hurried back and said, "I'm so proud of you."

"Two uncles, please follow me. The Palace Master wants to summon you."

 I took a day off last month and owed two chapters. I will make up one chapter today.
