Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 11 Swallowing Moonlight
The carp monster looked at Liu Qing with kindness and gestured for him to come over.

Liu Qing hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and swam over.

I hope the gifts given during the day will have an unexpected effect.

Seeing Liu Qing swimming to his side, the carp monster nodded slightly, murmured softly, then looked up at the Emei Moon on the west side of the sky and began to breathe in and out.

As the carp monster swallowed and exhaled, bits of moonlight were attracted to it, covering its entire body in silver-white light.

Liu Qing, who was standing beside him, felt a slight coolness.

He was immediately delighted and hurriedly imitated the carp monster, opening and closing his mouth, breathing in and out towards the Emei Moon.

But the result was not as expected.

The carp monster swallowed and exhaled the moonlight, and the moonlight surrounded its body. It swallowed it through its mouth and exhaled it through its mouth, like a silver-white thread going back and forth, and finally expelled gray-black turbid air from its gills.

However, Liu Qing still could not absorb or exhale even a bit of moonlight. The coolness he had just felt was only caused by the carp monster absorbing and exhaling too much moonlight, which splashed over.

Liu Qing was depressed again.

I was brought to his side by someone and watched and learned from him, but I still couldn't master the method of breathing in the moonlight. How stupid am I?

Liu Qing irritably spat out the snake core, making a snake sound. The carp monster that was swallowing the moonlight lowered its head and glanced at him in anger.
It seemed to think about it and figured out the reason, then floated to the surface, leaving only its tail in the water, and sank again.

Only until the body sank to the position of the mouth did it open and close again, swallowing and exhaling the moonlight.

As the carp monster opened and closed its mouth, it brushed the surface of the water, causing ripples. The ripples spread and touched Liu Qing.

At first, Liu Qing was a little confused by the behavior of the carp monster, but as the ripples spread again and again, and it moved its body rhythmically,

Liu Qing's heart suddenly started beating wildly, and suddenly a blessing came to him.

It turns out that the key to swallowing and spitting out the moonlight lies in frequency!
After figuring it out, Liu Qing suppressed his excitement, sensed the frequency of the carp monster's swallowing and spitting, and began to try it.

Inhale—swallow, two heartbeats.

Huh—spit, one heartbeat.

Inhale—swallow, three heartbeats.

Hu-spit, two heartbeats.
Sure enough, as Liu Qing breathed in and out, a faint moonlight was attracted to him, entering his body through his mouth, circling around, and then he exhaled and discharged it from his body.

Moreover, as the gas is discharged, tiny gray-black particles are discharged together.

This time, Liu Qing knew it without being taught, and guessed that this might be the impurities in the body that were squeezed out after the moonlight entered the body.

Seeing that Liu Qing had finally mastered the trick and learned how to breathe, the carp monster's eyes showed satisfaction.

Liu Qing took a quick glance, expressed his gratitude, and then began a new round of swallowing and exhaling moonlight.

The faint moonlight fell from the crescent moon in the western sky, attracted by the carp monster and split into two streams.

The slightly larger one was used to supply the carp monster's breathing, and the slightly smaller one was given to Liu Qing by the carp monster to be absorbed by Liu Qing.

Liu Qing's body was gradually covered with a faint silver glow.

As the moonlight swallowed and spit out, Liu Qing gradually realized that even if he had accidentally mastered the trick of swallowing and spitting out the moonlight in his life,
However, the initial efficiency of absorbing and releasing the moonlight was far lower than it is now. This was because of the help of the carp monster, which gathered the moonlight from far away in the sky and gave it a share.

Liu Qing couldn't help but feel more moved.

More than an hour passed, the Emei Moon disappeared in the sky, and the moonlight disappeared.

The old eel glanced in the direction of Liu Qing and dived back into the mud at the bottom of the river. The carp monster also nodded slightly at Liu Qing, flicked its tail, and sank into the water.

Liu Qing returned to his lair. Although it had only lasted a little over an hour, the power of the moonlight had profoundly changed his body.

It seemed as if my mind was becoming clearer, and my eyes, which could only vaguely see the scenery before, also became much clearer. The most important thing was that I could vaguely distinguish the colors of the scenery.

This discovery made Liu Qing overjoyed. The world in his eyes was no longer just red and black, but became colorful.

In addition to these, Liu Qing also noticed that his body seemed to have become stronger, especially his snake tail, whose muscles were more resilient and stronger.

Suddenly, there was a tremor in front of my eyes, and the panel that had been silent for a long time also came out.

[Name: Liu Qing]

[Race: Water Snake]

[Bloodline Talent: 1 Swallow Elephant (Beginner); 2 Tail Whip (Beginner)]

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi: 1 points]

The source energy of heaven and earth actually increased by 1 point?
Liu Qing was suddenly overjoyed. He had never thought that by inhaling and exhaling the moonlight, he could actually accumulate the source energy of heaven and earth.

This made Liu Qing, who had not harvested the Source Qi of Heaven and Earth for a long time, excited. It turned out that in addition to Hezhen and Tianling, there were other ways to obtain the Source Qi of Heaven and Earth.

Moreover, this way of obtaining it is far from being full of accidents like Hezhen and Tianling, but is a continuous and sustainable way of obtaining it.

Everything before my eyes, whether it was the changes in my body or the acquisition of the source of heaven and earth, originated from the inhalation and exhalation of the moonlight.
The most crucial trick to the swallowing and spitting of moonlight was told by the carp spirit.

I couldn't help but feel more grateful towards the carp monster.

The great golden crow rose from Juling in the sky, and Fang Ritu and all the stars hid in Wu Chi Tianmen.

Liu Qing woke up from his sleep and looked at his body which had grown bigger in the past few days after shedding his skin, feeling very happy.

Being in a good mood, Liu Qing naturally had a good appetite. He caught two small catfish in succession in the shallow algae beside the bluestone.

After a full meal, Liu Qing climbed onto Qingshi's back to bask in the sun.

When the sun warmed his cold and damp body, making it less stiff and full of energy, Liu Qing climbed onto the shore.

Once again came to the mulberry tree.

When someone does you a favor, you should think about repaying them.

Today, I, Liu Qing, have packed the most delicious and sweet mulberries on this tree and given them all to Brother Carp as a token of my appreciation.

Suddenly, thinking of this, Liu Qing was stunned. He didn't know whether the carp monster was male or female. He didn't dare to look at it randomly during the first two encounters.

Liu Qing climbed up the tree, picked and chose, and picked a large handful of mulberries, put them on the lotus leaves, and pushed them onto the water surface in the middle of the pond.

Just like yesterday, Liu Qing threw down a few first, called out the carp monster, and then fed them all.

The carp monster ate the delicious food again and swam around Liu Qing happily, its eyes full of surprise.

I give you a peach, and you give me a plum in return. As the saying goes, friendship was born between the carp and the water snake.

A smile appeared in Liu Qing's eyes. Although it still looked cold to outsiders, I stubbornly thought it was a smile.

"Sisi——"

The willow green snake chirped, raised its tail and pointed towards the mulberry tree, as if to ask, "Sister Carp, do you want to eat more?"

The carp monster nodded repeatedly.
