Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 133: Swallowing the River Monster's Heaven and Earth Source Qi, Breaking the Realm and Refining the Spirit to Return to the Void

Although it was not as rich as the Heaven and Earth Source Qi contained in the top-grade river treasures, Liu Qing was already very satisfied.

After all, river treasures are hard to find, but river monsters are numerous, so I have to find a reason to kill another batch of them in the future and use their corpses to accumulate the source energy of heaven and earth.

This is the corpse of a ling fish monster that has reached the stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void. This monster is one level higher than the fighting fish monster and is in the middle stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void.
Therefore, it takes more time to swallow and refine, and of course more source energy of heaven and earth is harvested.

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi +345]

Then, the corpses of the remaining six great demons that had refined their spirits and returned to the void were also swallowed and refined one by one.

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi +466]

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi +232]

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi +199].
Liu Qing discovered a pattern. Although they were all corpses of great monsters in the early stages of Spirit Refining and Returning to the Void, the ones with larger bodies and more vigorous Qi and blood, such as black carp, silver carp, and grass carp, provided more Heaven and Earth Source Qi.
Those with shells or small bodies, such as shrimps, crabs, water centipedes, minnows, and wheatear fish, provide less source of heaven and earth energy.

After devouring and refining the corpses of the big monsters that had refined their spirits and returned to the void, they began to devour and refine the ones in the middle and late stages of the Qi Refining and Transforming Spirits. These river monsters were relatively shallow in cultivation, and their bodies were not as large as those of their clansmen with higher cultivation, so they were swallowed and refined very quickly. Basically, it only took half a cup of tea to devour each river monster.

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi +76]

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi +69]

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi +87].
After all the corpses of the river monsters that had refined their spirits and returned to emptiness, and those that had refined their qi and transformed into spirits were devoured, Liu Qing had harvested a total of 4600 points of heaven and earth source qi.

Adding the remaining 15 points and the 45 points gained from absorbing the moonlight last night, the total number of Heaven and Earth Source Qi is currently 4660 points.

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi: 4660 points]

This was the most Heaven and Earth Source Qi that Liu Qing had ever harvested. Needless to say, according to priority, Liu Qing was the first to max out his realm.

[Realm: Refining Qi into Spirituality 47%]

During the river sacrifice, he devoured and refined a number of river monster corpses, and his cultivation level soared to the middle stage of Qi Refining and God Transformation. At this moment, there was enough Heaven and Earth Source Qi, and Liu Qing was not stingy. He used 20 Heaven and Earth Source Qi to increase his Qi Refining and God Transformation cultivation level by 1%, and only increased it all the way to 100%.

This item alone consumed 1060 points, leaving 3600 points.

When Liu Qing's Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation was 100%, the demonic energy in his body surged rapidly, condensing from strands to strands, and finally to hundreds of strands. Only when it reached its peak, these hundreds of strands of demonic energy suddenly merged and gathered into a demonic cloud.
The demonic energy in the body turns into clouds, and the next breakthrough is to refine the spirit and return to emptiness.

This demonic cloud can also be released outwards to form a demonic fog that obscures reality and illusion. It is a means of confusing the enemy used by great demons in the realm of refining the spirit and returning to the void. However, this ability can only confuse mortals or those with lower cultivation than oneself. It is useless for those at the same level. Therefore, Liu Qing rarely sees river demons in the realm of refining the spirit and returning to the void using this ability.

The demonic energy turns into clouds and is released to form demonic fog, which is considered a sign of a great demon that has refined its spirit and returned to the void.

Another sign is the aspect of transformation.

Liu Qing's demon consciousness moved, and the demonic energy in his body was released, covering his entire body. As the demonic energy surged, the horned boa constrictor quickly transformed into a human form.
In just a breath, the evil spirit dissipated, revealing Liu Qing's human form.

Liu Qing's body and limbs were intact, but his head was different from before. It had no hair and was covered with snake scales. The snake pupils and scales on his cheeks were also difficult to fade away.
At this moment, the head, which was the most difficult to transform, was almost completely human-like. The snake scales on the top of the head turned into hair, and the snake scales on the cheeks disappeared. Only the snake-like vertical pupils and the black half-foot horn remained. The rest were exactly the same as those of a human.

The dark green snake scales transformed into green clothes, with hair draped over the shoulders. The overall figure was slender, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, long legs, a fair face, eyebrows into the beard, narrow eyes, a straight nose, and relatively thin lips, which together with the narrow eyes, highlighted his cold and stern temperament.

Liu Qing threw the Water Spirit Pearl, a top-grade magic weapon, and two water chains extended from it to form a hairband, gathering up the loose hair, and the Water Spirit Pearl was located between the eyebrows on the forehead.

Looking around at himself, Liu Qing smiled slightly, feeling satisfied.

Liu Qing's realm was elevated to the stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void. He should have given birth to a Yin spirit, but when the Yin spirit was refining the qi and transforming into spirit, it got a Yin Ganoderma lucidum and was conceived prematurely.
At this moment, the immense Qi and blood power of the body, as well as the newly born demonic energy, gathered together to form the power that breeds the Yin Spirit, but it had nowhere to vent.

Seeing this, Liu Qing quickly guided him to the Yin God, and saw that the Yin God quickly grew larger and soon became the same size as a human figure.
Moreover, when the Yin God was first born, the Yin God soul mist that dissipated at the moment of leaving the body no longer dissipated. Instead, a layer of almost solid cortex appeared on the surface, locking the Yin God soul mist.
Because of the solid cortex that locks the soul fog and can resist the external罡风 and 陰火, Liu Qing's yin spirit has now successfully passed the stage of leaving the body and reached the stage of walking at night.

The third level of Yin God, out of body, night walking, solid, Liu Qing just broke through to the soul refining and returning to the void, and he has already reached the night walking,
Only one step is needed to condense the Yin Spirit. Such speed is enough to scare the monster.

There were still 3600 points of Heaven and Earth Source Qi left. Liu Qing also planned to improve his Taoism immediately, so he waved his hand and continued to add points.
As expected, after refining the spirit and returning to the void, adding points again, every 40 points of heaven and earth source qi can increase the Taoism by 1%.
Fortunately, Liu Qing had enough Heaven and Earth Source Qi, so he didn't feel bad and just kept adding points. In an instant, his realm and cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds, and there was no worry that his foundation would be unstable due to the rapid improvement of his realm and cultivation level.
The demonic energy started from one cloud, and quickly grew into two clouds, three clouds, and finally thirty-three clouds. At this moment, it had reached the initial limit of refining the spirit and returning to the void.
Liu Qing did not stop, but continued to add points until he consumed 3600 points of the source of heaven and earth, pushing his realm to 90% of the spirit refining and returning to the void, and then he stopped.

At this moment, the demonic energy in his body was as high as ninety clouds. If it were released, the demonic cloud and mist formed would be enough to cover an area of ​​hundreds of feet.

The Yin God also changed dramatically. The Yin God, which originally only formed a layer of skin on the surface of the body,

At this time, the entire Yin God was completely solid. If you didn't look closely, the Yin God was almost identical to the human form, except that one was dressed in green and had a white face, and the other was dressed in black and had a white face.
Liu Qing is a human soul that traveled through time and space, so when the Yin Spirit was born, it did not take the form of a snake or python, but intentionally referred to the human body in the previous life, so it took the form of a human body.

The Yin spirits of other river monsters almost all look like their original bodies. Unlike Liu Qing, they are not time travelers. The dominant spirits in their bodies are animal souls, not human souls.

The black-clothed, white-faced Yin God, since his birth, left his body last night and walked through the nights today, becoming more solid and having reached the pinnacle of Yin God.
The next step is to ignite the yang fire and create yang in yin, so that the yin spirit can be transformed into a yang spirit, and then merge with the incense of Tao, or authority.

If we talk about the progress of Taoism, I am afraid that even if we look at the entire Jing River, no one is as fast as Liu Qing. Of course, compared with Hong Gu, it is still slow.
After he left for half a year, he soared from the initial stage of refining essence into qi to the power and authority, and became a seventh-grade god. In terms of Taoism, he has already become a human immortal.

Genius or something is nothing compared to a powerful background.

Liu Qing's rapid progress this time was not concealed as before, as he was worried that his rapid progress would arouse the jealousy of the other demon.

With the example of Hong Gu, no matter how fast one's cultivation progresses, no one can be faster than Hong Gu. Not to mention the entire inland rivers, even in the Jing River alone, there are probably people with higher destiny than Liu Qing, who progress faster than Liu Qing. There is no need to worry about becoming a prominent rafter.
The most important thing is that the Palace Master will become a god and leave on the first day of next month. If I can successfully take over the position of Palace Master,

The other river monsters must be subdued. If the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation stage is not enough, then at least the Spirit Refining and Returning to the Void stage must be reached. This will barely be enough to subdue the various veins guarding the Eight Pools, Five Rivers, and Seventeen Channels, as well as the Four Directions Patrol and the Eight-sided Incense Envoy.

And to intimidate other water forces that are coveting Dayawan Lake because of the departure of the Lord. Otherwise, Liu Qing will not be able to sit firmly on the position of Lord of Dayawan Lake.

Taking these into consideration, this is the main reason why Liu Qing is eager to improve his Taoist realm.

At present, he is in the late stage of Refining the Spirit and Returning to the Void. He is only one step away from breaking through the Refining the Void and Combining the Dao, and he is only short of swallowing a few river monsters. His Dao realm can barely control the situation.
In addition to his bloodline talent, incense, authority and magical powers, as well as several spiritual treasures, if there is anyone who is short-sighted, he can be swallowed and refined to make an example of him.

In addition, after the Yin God was completely solidified, the speed of refining the Yin Jade Spirit Banner increased several times again. It originally took several days to refine it.

At the moment when the Yin Spirit condensed, it took only a stick of incense to completely refine the Yin Jade Spirit Banner.

The Yin God successfully left his mark on the core magic circle of the Yin Yu Ling Banner and came out.

After trying a few times, I found that controlling the Yin Yu Ling Banner now consumed less demonic energy and was more flexible.
The key is that he no longer has to worry about being snatched away by others. Unless Liu Qing's soul dissipates, it will always be his.

After refining the Yin Yu Ling Banner, Liu Qing threw the Qianchuan Wanshui Banner to Yin Shen, and he shook the Yin Yu Ling Banner.
Countless blood-threaded soul lines flew out, swiftly winding towards the four directions of Lingbao Dragon Palace, subduing the remaining residual soul dragon evils in several palaces one by one, and absorbing them into the Yinyu Spirit Banner.

On the banner, there were again patterns of a viper, a small dragon, and an evil dragon. So far, the Yin Yu Ling Banner contained the residual souls of two real dragons (the old dragon of Jinghe River and the dragon lady), the residual souls of two dragons, the residual souls of two snakes, a viper, as well as General Turtle, fighting fish, water ape, goldfish, tilapia, lotus, loach, black fish, and minnow, a total of sixteen yin gods, demons, and residual souls of dragons.

After swallowing a few more evil spirits, the Yin Jade Spirit Banner became even more sinister. When the spirit banner was waved, evil spirits filled the air, covering the sky and the sun. It was extremely terrifying.
If it can completely repair the body of the spiritual treasure, it will definitely be the top one among all the low-grade acquired spiritual treasures.
