Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 124: Collecting Incense and Obtaining Spiritual Treasures, Purple Light Emerges from the Dragon King's Treasure House

Hong Gu's face flushed, even her pair of jade-colored short horns were stained red. She lowered her head, and her dragon tail swung restlessly in the water, feeling both shy and nervous.

Liu Qing suddenly smiled, and meandered forward, wrapping his body around Hong Gu like he did in the pond, his snake scales moving as he caressed her gently.

"I will never let my sister down!"

"In this life, my sister and I will seek the truth together, and we will be each other's companions. Even if a thousand mountains cannot fall, our love will never fade. Even if a thousand rivers cannot dry up, our hearts will never change!"

There was tenderness in Hong Gu's eyes, and suddenly she felt her body go weak. She couldn't help but hug Liu Qing tightly with her pectoral fins, and was speechless for a while.

The sour smell of love floated in the water, making the snail girl standing beside her feel uneasy and redundant.

After a long time, the little girl, unable to bear it any longer, stamped her feet and shouted, "Sister, it's still early, don't you want to get down to business first?"

"Sir, please pick out some useful spiritual treasures. I will also take the small flags and drums that fell on the ground. Your companions are waiting anxiously outside the hall."

Liu Qing glared at the little girl with a sharp mouth and said, "How come my brother-in-law and your sister Hong Gu are not serious matters?"

Hong Gu was also embarrassed and annoyed: "I will sew your mouth shut when we get out."

Hong Gu got out of Liu Qing's arms. Liu Qing had no choice but to collect his thoughts and look around at the magic treasures that Hong Gu took out.

But he didn't choose any of them: "Sister, you should keep these spiritual treasures first. Xiaoqing is also a person of honor. How can you take your sister's dowry without a formal marriage?"

"Sister, regardless of your status, you're not afraid of the rumors to come and see me. How can I let you down again? Sister, trust me. Give me time. I will travel thousands of miles, even to the East China Sea, to ask you to marry me."

Although he had prepared himself mentally to be a gigolo, when the time came, Liu Qing was too shy to accept the offer.

Hong Gu's eyes were filled with tenderness, and she nodded meekly: "Sister, I will listen to Xiaoqing."

Afterwards, Hong Gu collected more than ten spiritual treasures. Liu Qing stepped forward to pick up the fallen small flags and small drums, wanting to give one to Hong Gu, but Hong Gu asked Liu Qing to keep them all and whispered that she could use them as a betrothal gift in the future.

After hearing this, Liu Qing no longer insisted and accepted the small drum and flag.

[Explanation 1: The Thousand Rivers and Ten Thousand Waters Flag is a low-grade acquired spiritual treasure. Its function is to restrain thousands of rivers and ten thousand waters against the enemy. Due to its previous owner, the Old Dragon of the Jing River, it was affected by the murderous aura of the Dragon Slaying Sword and is damaged. It can be repaired with incense silver, otherwise there is a risk of falling in rank.]

[Explanation 2: Yin-Yang Harmony Drum, a low-grade acquired spiritual treasure, has the function of stimulating estrus in living beings and accelerating reproduction. Due to the involvement of its previous owner, Jinghe Longpo, it was affected by the murderous aura of the Dragon Slaying Sword, and the main body is damaged. It can be repaired with incense and silver, otherwise there is a risk of falling in rank.]

After receiving it, the plug-in gave a timely introduction, allowing Liu Qing to understand the functions and defects of these two spiritual treasures.
Like the Yin Yu Ling Banner, the main body of the spiritual treasure is also somewhat damaged and urgently needs incense and silver to repair it.

Liu Qing discovered that since he had a way to earn incense silver, there were more places where he could spend it.

If he wanted to completely repair the three spiritual treasures in his hands, he didn't know how much incense silver it would cost. When he thought of this, Liu Qing wanted to go back immediately and speed up the process of boiling salt to earn incense silver.

Speaking of incense silver, Liu Qing turned his attention to the incense silver in the center of the hall.

At this moment, the prayer incense sticks on it just burned out, and the silver incense ingots completely transformed, emitting a captivating silver light.
There were ingots of one liang each, ingots of five liang each, ingots of ten liang, fifty liang, and a hundred liang each, all piled up into a mountain of silver.
Among them, the incense silver derived from the transformation of the first incense stick is the largest. It looks like a gold ingot that is several feet long, wide and high. This ingot of incense silver alone is probably worth 100,000 taels.

Liu Qing slurred his saliva. If it weren't for the top-grade river treasure, Viper Blood Algae, promised by Mansion Lord Yuan Datou, which was essential for the transformation of his body, he would have definitely coveted this fragrant silver.

However, although he could not covet the first incense silver, Liu Qing did not intend to hand over the other smaller incense silvers. He thought that the Lord of the Mansion Yuan Datou would not mind.

Liu Qing opened his mouth and sucked. The suction force in his mouth was boundless. Suddenly, the piles of silver mountains were sucked into the space of his mouth.

When Liu Qing roughly counted the money together with the 40,000 to 50,000 taels of incense silver he had snatched from the flower garden, he found that apart from the initial incense silver that the Palace Master Yuan Datou wanted, he had also obtained 80,000 to 90,000 taels of incense silver. The exact amount would be determined after the river sacrifice was over and he returned to the Snake Pond.
In addition, Liu Qing was not in a hurry to use the incense silver to repair the three spiritual treasures, the Yin Yu Ling Banner, the Qianchuan Wanshui Banner, and the Yin Yang Hehe Drum.
Firstly, the two most terrifying dragon spirits in the Dragon Palace, the Old Jing River Dragon King and the Dragon Lady, have been subdued. There may be other dragon spirits, but they no longer pose a threat. There is no need to spend money on repairing spiritual treasures and quickly increase combat power.
Secondly, the Yin Lingzhi was nourishing his soul, and there was a faint sign of giving birth to a Yin God in advance. In addition, the water fetus in the stone he had harvested earlier,
Liu Qing was secretly calculating that when both were conceived, he would need to spend a lot of money on incense offerings.

Liu Qing's snake eyes flickered. Hong Gu had already become a seventh-rank god, so he should at least seek a divine position to be worthy of her.

In the Dragon King's Hall, all the harvests had been obtained. Liu Qing and Hong Gu were about to leave when suddenly, the intelligence treasure box in front of them, which had not moved for a long time, suddenly burst into a dazzling purple light.

Purple light again.

The first time the purple light appeared was when I was afraid of the danger in the Dragon Palace and hesitated to enter. The intelligence box reminded me that I was safe, and that a noble person would help me. I was blessed with great fortune.

Now, I have escaped the remnant soul dragon evil without any danger, and I have obtained spiritual treasures, incense silver, and many river monster corpses. I can say that I have a great fortune.

Hong Gu's return to save him corresponded to the help of a noble person. All these purple intelligence hints came true one by one.

Now the treasure box emits purple light again, and Liu Qing becomes excited again.

Hong Gu stopped and looked at Liu Qing in surprise, who was overjoyed. Liu Qing smiled and said nothing. He stopped and opened the illusory treasure box of intelligence.
Even though Hong Gu had become a seventh-rank powerful deity, she was unable to detect the intelligence treasure box.

[Today's Intelligence: Purple Level. Beneath the Dragon King's Palace lies a small cavern, the location of the Jinghe Dragon King's treasury. Within this treasury lies the core hub of the Jinghe Dragon Palace, a mid-grade spiritual treasure, as well as the incense silver accumulated by the Jinghe Dragon King over hundreds of years, fragments of his power and water veins, and the exotic water-avoiding golden-eyed beast.]

goo-dong-

Liu Qingkuang swallowed hard, feeling his heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of his mouth to vent his excitement.

It is indeed purple-level intelligence. I never thought that this Jinghe Dragon Palace tonight is a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure.
After refining the core hub of the Jinghe Dragon Palace, one can control the size of the Dragon Palace and carry it with him.
This discovery alone is worthy of purple-level intelligence, not to mention that according to the hint, there are also incense silver accumulated by the old dragon king of Jinghe River for a hundred years, as well as fragments of the power water vein, and the exotic beast water-avoiding golden-eyed beast in the treasure house.

Goddess Wangshu, the Jinghe River sacrifice this year alone probably produced two or three hundred thousand taels of silver in incense offerings. Over hundreds of years, it would probably be billions.

In the treasury, there are even extremely precious fragments of the power water vein, as well as the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast that can climb mountains and enter water as if walking on flat ground, and its speed in water is extremely fast, not inferior to the great water escape magic.

It just makes up for the shortcoming of Liu Qing's slow speed that has always troubled him when his body is in the water.

Now I'm making a fortune.

Liu Qing was panting heavily, his snake pupils were red, he wiped his mouth, and a demonic energy surged out violently, refining the Thousand Rivers and Ten Thousand Waters Flag roughly.
He immediately controlled the thousands of water flows to set up a barrier at the main gate of the hall, and used the Yin Yu Ling Banner to drive all the Yin gods, demons, and residual souls and dragons to hide in the water gate to prevent outsiders from entering.
"Sister, I discovered the old Dragon King's treasure house. Let's go find the treasure together!"

As she spoke, her eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the snail girl Xiaoya beside her. Hong Gu understood: "Don't be wary of Xiaoya, she is the maid that came with my sister's dowry. She is someone close to you and can be trusted."

When Miss Tianluo heard this, even though she was always sharp-tongued, she couldn't help but feel shy. The dowry maid, also known as the Tongfang maid, heard from the seahorse eunuch in the East China Sea Dragon Palace that she was supposed to sleep with her son-in-law.
Oh, how embarrassing.

Liu Qing looked at Hong Gu with some surprise. This sister was so generous that she gave her husband to someone else. She must be a shrew, right?
Hong Gu rolled her eyes at Liu Qing and said, "Sister, there will always be times when you are inconvenienced. Instead of leaving the opportunity to other female fairies, it is better to give it to the little girl. They are all close people who know you well and can help you a little. It is better than being bullied by little fairies when you are old and ugly. Humph..."

Liu Qing kept complaining, "We haven't even gotten to this point yet, and you're already thinking so far ahead. I've never thought about it this way before. Sister, you're really wronging me."

Since there was no need to worry about the snail girl Xiaoya, Liu Qing felt relieved and let her guard the hall.

Then, let Hong Gu take out the lightning hammer, enlarge it, and according to the intelligence, smash it with all her strength in the back of the center of the hall, where the dragon throne was originally placed.
Suddenly, the mud was stirred up and the turbid waves surged. With a loud bang of collapse, the aquamarine tiles on the ground scattered and revealed a dark hole.

Why is the treasure cave filled with incense and silver so dark? Shouldn't it be shining with dazzling silver light?

Liu Qing was confused, so he wrapped his snake tail around Hong Gu, and the two of them rushed towards the entrance of the treasure cave.

The sky and the earth spun, and after a moment, the two of them stood still and looked around, only to see...
This treasure cave is about several acres in size and is round in shape. There is no sun above and no grass under the feet, but there is air flowing.
This is the place different from the mouth sac space, which can store living creatures.

In the middle of the cave, there were piles of gray-black hills piled up in disorder. Liu Qing and Hong Gu looked at each other, and both had an ominous premonition in their hearts.
I hurriedly swam along the backflowing river water and took a closer look, and my premonition became reality.

It turned out that these piles of gray-black hills were actually piles of silver mountains. However, for some reason, the incense and prayers on them had long disappeared, and the incense silver had returned to the appearance of paper ingots.
Moreover, due to a hundred years of corruption, it had already rotted away. Now, after being washed by the river water, it turned into bits of rotten matter and merged into the water.
