Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 109: The ruins of the Dragon Palace contain spiritual treasures, and the Yinyu Ling Banner is acquired

The main hall of Daming Palace had its doors wide open at this time. Looking from the outside, it was dark and gloomy. The water from the Jing River that flowed into it was even blacker and greener, with a faint foul smell.

Liu Qing didn't care.

While the remaining dragon spirit was being bitten and eroded by Jixiang's magical power and fell into madness and confusion, he gathered the river water again and transformed it into a water puppet.

Command it to swim quickly into the main hall.

Liu Qing's mind moved, and his perspective shifted to the water puppet. He saw that the main hall was about seven or eight feet long, with many irregularly shaped jades and other objects scattered around.

Judging from its appearance, it should be the luxurious tables, chairs, beds, desks, screens and the like that were placed in the palace before the Dragon King of the Old Jing River was robbed.

However, now that a hundred years have passed, it has been destroyed by the insane dragon spirits and has long been in ruins.

It was covered with deep scale and dark green moss, and the jade stones that originally paved the hall were now filled with silt.

In the mud, water centipedes, water turtles, horn snails, etc. sometimes appear. The originally luxurious and flourishing flowers are no longer there, presenting a dilapidated and desolate scene.

Liu Qing just glanced at these things quickly and didn't pay much attention to them. What he cared about were the treasures that might be hidden in the main hall.

Liu Qing controlled the water puppet, winding between the ruins, wandering on the century-old silt, and searching the hall carefully.

Half a cup of tea later, the water puppet controlled by Liu Qing suddenly found something floating in the dark green water in the deepest part of the main hall.

This thing has no support, yet it can float in the water, and it emits a faint black and red luster. It is obvious that it is extraordinary.
The whole thing resembles a flagpole, which is about three feet long, black in color, and seems to be made of jade. The flag is in the shape of a small square, no more than three inches in size. Several ribbons hang down from the flag, which are blood-red in color, similar to silk. They sway with the water, and from time to time emit a terrifying aura that makes people's hearts palpitate.

Anyway, it was a water puppet now, not its real body, so it was not worried about being hurt. Therefore, facing this strange flag, Liu Qing controlled the water puppet and wrapped it with his snake tail without hesitation.

After it was rolled up, the black-pole, red-faced flag's heart-pounding aura disappeared instantly, and it seemed to still have a faint sense of joy.
Perhaps it has been in this hall for a hundred years, feeling lonely and isolated, and now someone has taken it away, so it naturally reacts like this.

Shui Kui quickly left the main hall and handed the flag to Liu Qing.

Liu Qing hesitated for a moment before picking up the flag. He felt his whole body was cold and a little chilly, and his excitement just now was even more obvious.

It is so agile and seems to be a spiritual being. Could it be that this treasure has surpassed the grade of magical instruments?
Timely explanation makes this speculation come true.

[Explanation: The Yin Jade Spirit Banner is a post-apocalyptic, top-grade spiritual treasure, a treasure of the Shinto way. It has the power to devour souls and control evil spirits, driving ghosts to defend against enemies. However, after being sunken for a hundred years, the trace of spiritual consciousness within it has long been weakened, and there is a risk of it falling in rank. It can be repaired with incense silver or authority gold.]

Liu Qing's heart suddenly started beating uncontrollably.

Lingbao, even if it is acquired and of low quality, is still far superior to magic tools.

The water spirit bead that he had obtained earlier in Xiaolugou had the ability to create mist and waves, purify water, and control the water of a vein. Such a powerful function was only a high-grade magic weapon.
Legend has it that the Mansion Lord Yuan Datou possesses the precious Water Vein Map, which can help him control the water veins of Dayawan Lake. When he issues an order, thousands of river monsters dare not disobey. Such a weapon is only a top-grade magic weapon, but compared with the Yin Yu Ling Banner in front of him, one is underground and the other is in the sky.

Even though the Yinyu Ling Banner is only one level higher than the Water Vein Map, this level is a qualitative leap. Even the worst spiritual treasure can crush the magic weapon. This is because the spiritual treasure is born with spiritual consciousness, and it can better understand the owner's mind when used.

Moreover, this Yinyu Ling Banner is not bad either. It is a treasure of the gods. It can swallow souls and control evil spirits, and drive ghosts to resist enemies.

The "ghost" here does not refer to the ghost that is born after the spirit is refined and returns to the void, but refers to the soul of a god or demon after death, and refers to all ghosts.
From this point of view, the Yin Yu Ling Banner is similar to the notorious Wanhun Banner.

Although it is only a spiritual treasure of the post-heavenly grade, in the current Journey to the West era, the innate spiritual treasure has already had an owner and is possessed by the gods and Buddhas.
Any living being who can obtain a spiritual treasure acquired from the next life is also blessed with great fortune. Liu Qing sighed at this time, just relying on this spiritual treasure of the acquired world, the Yinyu Ling Banner,

The Jinghe River Festival was well worth the trip and was worthy of the purple light of the intelligence treasure box.

It's a pity that the Yinyu Ling Banner has been submerged for a hundred years, and the spiritual consciousness within the spiritual treasure is now weak and almost annihilated.
If this trace of spiritual consciousness is completely annihilated, it will really fall from the level of a spiritual treasure to the level of a magic weapon.

This also explains why the Remnant Soul Dragon Evil and the Yin Yu Ling Banner were in the same hall, but were not swallowed by the Yin Yu Ling Banner.

It’s because the Yin Yu Ling Banner is too weak.

If you want to repair it, you must use incense silver or authority gold. Liu Qing does not have authority gold, but he does have incense silver.

Liu Qing wiped his mouth and took out the four or five hundred taels of incense silver that he had collected from the storage space of the river monster's corpse.

As soon as the Yin Yu Ling Banner was brought closer, the incense smoke began to emerge and was quickly swallowed by the Yin Yu Ling Banner.
The silver incense turned grayish white, broke into pieces, and was washed away by the water. The Yin Yu Ling Banner shone brightly, and the silk-like surface of the banner was swollen with a blood-red color. It seemed to have grown a little bigger, from a small triangle of about three inches to about three and a half inches.

Liu Qing was shocked. It took four or five hundred taels of incense silver to repair the Yin Yu Ling Banner by about half an inch. If it were to be completely repaired, who knows how much incense silver would be consumed.
Well, another wealthy man who devoured the incense money, Liu Qing suddenly felt poor again.

The Yin Yu Ling Banner was expressing a cheerful mood, swaying from side to side, as if it was flirting with Liu Qing. Liu Qing pouted secretly, the way the Yin Yu Ling Banner was flirting looked very familiar, the white snake from earlier, and the short-tailed water python and other snake monsters that followed.
They all have similar actions, but the snake and python shake their tails, while the Yin Yuling Banner shakes the surface of the banner. But no matter what, they are both like practicing dogs.

The Yin Yu Ling Banner can devour souls and control evil spirits, and drive out the Yin God. At this time, Liu Qing just refined it and subdued the residual soul dragon evil spirit in the Daming Palace.

Since Liu Qing had not yet refined his spirit and returned to the void, and had not yet given birth to the Yin Spirit, he still used the demonic energy to carve the demonic energy mark on the core of the Yin Jade Spirit Banner.
This is just the initial refining. It can only be fully refined after the Yin God is obtained. By then, no one can snatch the Yin Yu Ling Banner away unless Liu Qing's soul is destroyed.

After a while, Liu Qing roughly completed the initial refining.

The Yin Yu Ling Banner was like a puppy, floating in the water and dancing happily around Liu Qing.

The remaining dragon spirit, still under the erosion and bite of the Jixiang magic power, fell into madness and confusion, howling unconsciously and wantonly destroying the walls, rockery and other buildings of the Daming Palace.
Liu Qing pointed at the remaining dragon spirit and said, "Go!——"
