Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 132: Incense Evolves into a Ninth-Rank God, and the Demon in the Corpse River Has Many Magical Weapons

Ninety-five thousand four hundred and thirty-two taels.

This is the amount of silver from incense offerings in Liu Qing's empty bag space, which was obtained from participating in and robbing the river sacrifice, plus the profit from the salt goods that the river monsters just sent.

But now there are only more than one thousand taels left.

When Liu Qing took it out of the space in his mouth bag and placed it in front of him, he found that for some unknown reason, the incense inside many silver ingots had been sucked away and turned into paper money and gold ingots.

There was nearly 100,000 taels of silver for incense offerings, but now only a little over 1,000 taels are left intact, without the incense being sucked away.

The culprits were the spiritual treasures that Liu Qing swallowed into his mouth.

The Yin Yu Ling Banner, the Qianchuan Wanshui Banner, the Yin Yang Harmony Drum, if the Lingbao Dragon Palace had not been taken out, perhaps not even this thousand taels would be left.

Liu Qing wanted to cry but had no tears.

In the past, there was no Yin God, so the spiritual treasure could not be swallowed into the Yin God for nourishment, and could only be temporarily placed in the mouth bag space, which is why it was robbed by the thief.
Now that we have the Yin God, we must remember that from now on all these spiritual treasures should be given to the Yin God for nourishment. Even if we don't do that, we can't let them be placed together with the incense silver.

He also planned to use the incense silver he harvested this time to absorb the incense divinity and transform into an eighth-grade incense priesthood. Although the Yin God has not yet shed the Yang, and cannot merge into a god,
But it would be fine to keep the priesthood first and enjoy it, just like buying a car first and then slowly getting a driver's license. Who would have thought that the plan would fail?

Liu Qing's incense godhood, ten taels of incense silver can increase 1%, one thousand taels can reach 100%, without begging from the heavens, he can evolve into a god on his own.
Forget it, I will have to swallow the more than one thousand taels of incense silver left in my hand, absorb the divinity of incense, and achieve the ninth-rank incense priesthood first.

[Divinity of Incense: 2.1%]

Liu Qing originally had 34.1% of the incense godhood, and the incense-sending Li Xuan took up 10%, leaving 24.1%. During the river sacrifice, he condensed the talisman of the powerful warrior and gave it to the little trolls.

Now that the river sacrifice is over, the Hercules' talismans have dissipated and the divinity has returned, but Liu Qing did not keep them. He once again condensed a new Hercules' talisman and gave it to the river goblins under his command who were cooking salt. Therefore, only 2.1% of the divinity of the incense remains.

This was because Liu Qing was cautious and left enough for himself to cast a Hercules talisman on himself, otherwise there would not be so much.

Liu Qing waved his hand to scatter the paper money and gold ingots, leaving only the incense silver, then opened his mouth and swallowed it. The suction force in his mouth suddenly appeared, and the divinity of the incense increased rapidly.

[Incense Divinity +1.9]

[Incense Divinity +2.0]

[Incense Divinity +5.0]

Soon, more than nine hundred taels of incense silver were refined, and all the incense divinity contained in them was absorbed. Liu Qing only had a few hundred taels of loose silver left in his hands, which he used to pay the wages of Brother Zuoshou and others.

[Divinity of Incense: 100%]

When the incense godliness removed the talisman of the warrior, and the consumption of the incense magic power finally reached 100%,
Suddenly, a divine light suddenly lit up in the body, illuminating the Yin Spirit who was refining the Yin Jade Spirit Banner.
The divine light was not golden like Hong Gu's authority and power, but was aqua blue and shimmering with incense smoke.

The next moment, the divine light from the incense suddenly condensed into a divine tablet, on which the words "Ninth Rank Snake Pond River God" were engraved on the front.
On the back, "Jinghe River System" is engraved in relief. In addition, there is a blank space below the Jinghe River System.

Liu Qing understood that if his Yin Spirit transformed into Yang Spirit and combined with this divine position, the word "Liu Qing" might appear in this blank space.

At that time, Liu Qing was the official ninth-rank Snake Pond River God, subordinate to the Jing River.

If other river monsters want to become the ninth-grade incense gods, they will need at least 10,000 incense silvers, but Liu Qing only needs 1,000 taels.

Moreover, they do not need to beg for mercy from the heavens, but can evolve and become gods on their own. Compared with other river monsters, they spend ten times less on incense and silver, and do not need to beg for mercy.
If the monster knew about this, it would probably be filled with envy and jealousy.

Judging from the divine duties condensed from the incense god and the authority god, the incense god represents the divine duties as a god tablet, while the authority god of Honggu Hedao is manifested as a jade scepter.
Court officials all held jade tablets when attending court, while hawks and dogs would wear badges around their waists. Comparing the two, one can tell the difference in rank and importance simply from the manifestation of their divine duties.

Liu Qing now uses one thousand incense silvers to transform himself into an incense god. Although he has not yet achieved the Dao, he has also achieved the ninth rank. The ninth rank and the eighth rank are called subordinate gods.

Fortunately, it is not subordinate to other big rivers and is still in the Jinghe River system. However, there is no dragon in the Jinghe River now, and there are no incense gods and power gods of all ranks under it. So, to whom does he, the ninth-rank Snake Pond River God, belong?

Liu Qing was stunned when he suddenly thought of something. The Jing River was not without dragons or gods. Sister Honggu was a seventh-rank god with authority, and was granted the title of Goddess of the Jing River, who responded to the wishes of the world.

Could it be that after I become a Taoist, I will be assigned to Hong Gu?

It is very likely that at present, all the power and influence of the Jinghe River system belongs to Hong Gu alone. Where else can they be distributed if not under her command?
Liu Qing blinked, feeling a bit like a husband losing his authority. He must not let Hong Gu know that he had evolved into a god, lest she take advantage of him and make fun of him. Suddenly, he thought again, he had only evolved into a god, and his Yin spirit had not yet transformed into a Yang spirit. He had not yet merged with the Tao and truly achieved the status of a god of incense and fire. It was too early to worry.

Besides, I have always planned to be in harmony with the authority of Tao. Who would be willing to be an incense god with a superficial and unstable foundation, who may be backlashed by incense at any time and fall from the position of god?

However, now that this incense-burning priesthood has evolved, we can only watch it, which is really a waste. Otherwise, how else can we make use of it?

For a moment, Liu Qing had no answer and could only let it go and deal with it later.

Liu Qing's demon consciousness moved, and he threw the divine token of the 'Ninth Grade Snake Pond River God' to Yin Shen. Unexpectedly, when the divine token came to Yin Shen's head, it suddenly bloomed with water-blue divine power, and the divine power was filled with incense smoke, which enveloped Yin Shen.

The Yin God was blessed with the divine power of the priesthood token, and the speed of refining the Yin Yu Ling Banner suddenly increased several times.

Liu Qing estimated that after the refining speed was increased, the refining time that originally took several months would now only take a few days.

I didn't expect that the priesthood token had such a wonderful use. It was an unexpected surprise.

The harvest of incense and silver from the Jinghe River Festival has come to an end. Although most of the harvest was swallowed up by a few spiritual treasures, it is not a waste.
After swallowing nearly 100,000 taels of incense silver, the Yin Jade Spirit Banner, the Thousand Rivers and Ten Thousand Waters Banner, and the Yin Yang Harmony Drum had their damages mostly repaired, and they were finally no longer worried about their spiritual treasure rank falling.

Restoring the full power of the spiritual treasure is just around the corner, and it will cost at most 100,000 or 200,000 taels of silver.

A top-grade spiritual treasure from the later period can be obtained with a cost of only 200,000 to 300,000 taels of incense silver, which is well worth the cost.

However, I dare not let them devour them at will in the future. Even if I need to repair them, I need to do it under my own arrangements to avoid affecting other aspects.

Incense silver can provide divinity, divinity can breed incense magical powers, and can also evolve into incense priesthood. It can be used to trade with other monsters, and can be used to pay salaries to Left Hand Brother and others. It has many uses, so how can it all be swallowed by spiritual treasures? It must be distributed reasonably.

The incense and silver offerings came to an end, and next, Liu Qing planned to deal with the pile of river monster corpses that were harvested during the river sacrifice.

The batch he harvested previously was refined by his elephant-swallowing talent. Now, in Liu Qing's mouth bag, he harvested the corpses of many river monsters of all sizes.
After counting, there are eight corpses of big monsters in the early and middle stages of the Soul Refining Return to Void, thirteen in the late and middle stages of the Soul Refining Transformation, and twenty-two in the early stages of the Soul Refining Transformation.
Those who can be selected by the various palace masters to participate in the river sacrifice are at least in the early stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation. Of course, the three water willows in Dayan Lake are an exception.

Although they have not reached the stage of Spirit Refining, the three of them are proficient in the art of combined attack, forming a trinity. Ordinary Spirit Refining cultivators are no match for them.

Liu Qing first picked out the corpse of a green fish monster in the early stage of Qi Refining and Spiritual Transformation, and kept it for the creatures of the Snake Pond in a few days.

The others were all prepared to be swallowed and refined.

However, before swallowing and refining them, Liu Qing needed to dissect the bodies of these river monsters one by one, check their swim bladders or air sacs, find the storage space, and take out all the fragments stored inside.

With a flick of his hand, several water knives emerged and ripped open the bellies of the dozens of river monsters in front of him. He checked the swim bladders of the fish monsters, and the air sacs of the snakes, pythons, shrimps and crabs.
Accompanied by the sound of falling, piles of scattered things appeared before my eyes.

Liu Qing sorted all the things together into categories. The most common items were salt, dried meat and other dry food he carried with him. Then there were some human wine and drinks, as well as rusty weapons.

Among them, there are also some slightly more valuable incense silver, medicine made by the evil doctor, and a dozen or so low-quality or inferior river treasures.
In addition, there are five low-grade magic weapons, namely the conch horn, crab shell half-body armor, fish stinger, snake and python fangs, and water ape iron stick.

After obtaining the spiritual treasure, Liu Qing no longer looked down on these inferior magic weapons. He would give them to Crab Left Hand and Bearded Catfish later. The rest would be rewarded to whoever passed the three levels and transformed into a demon.

The silver for incense offerings was mostly in small amounts, and they didn't dare to bring too much to the river sacrifice. The sum of dozens of river monsters was only about a thousand taels.
The wine and drinks were kept for the housekeeper and maid Tianluo, the salted dried meat and rusty weapons were given to the catfish later, so that it could use them to set up a stall, and the medicine made by the doctors in each household was kept for themselves.

He swallowed it all into his mouth sac and began to prepare for refining it.

Manifesting the true form of a nearly three-meter-long horned boa constrictor, Liu Qing swallowed the corpse of the Dou family's fighting fish monster, which had refined its spirit and returned to the void, in one gulp, and then quickly refined its elephant-swallowing talent.

The main body is nearly three meters long, and it is probably about to shed its skin. It is estimated that after swallowing and refining this batch of river monster corpses, it will start a new shed. By then, the main body will be more than three meters long.

His elephant-swallowing talent had reached the great perfection level. In just a cup of tea, he had completely refined the corpse of the Douyu monster and extracted the source of heaven and earth contained in the flesh. The dregs were spit out, leaving only the essence.

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi +333]

The amount of Heaven and Earth Source Qi purified from a Douyu monster in the early stage of Spirit Refining and Returning to Void is almost equivalent to that of an ordinary high-grade river treasure.
