Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 48: Snake Demon Boils Salt
In a moment,

The water vapor split from both sides and returned to calm.

A mysterious light flew out.

[Name: Liu Qing]

[Race: Horned Boa]

[Realm: Refining Essence into Qi 7%]

[Divinity: Authority 20%, Incense 4%]

【血脉天赋：1吞象（小成）；2尾鞭（小成）；3厚甲（大成）；4口囊（小成）；5沸血（小成）】

[Mystical Powers: Water Control (Minor Success); Water Puppet (Beginner)]

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi: 7 points]

[Explanation 1: The magical water puppet originates from the divine power of authority. With the divine power as its core and water as its body, it transforms into a water puppet. The water puppet possesses one-third of the power of the original body and can serve as eyes, ears, and a substitute. The divine power is indestructible, and the water puppet exists forever.]

[Note 2: You can use Heaven and Earth Origin Qi to increase the growth of your magical power. As this magical power grows, the strength of a single water puppet also increases, and you can also increase the number of water puppets.]

As the moonlight in the middle of the night rose and fell, the process of tempering the body accelerated the development of the supernatural power, allowing it to come out ahead of time.

Liu Qing couldn't help but feel happy when he saw his new talent.

Although the magical water puppet only has one-third of the original body's strength, it can see and hear, and transmit what it sees and hears to the original body.
When it is inconvenient for you to appear, you can use it as your eyes and ears. When you sense danger, you can also use it as a substitute to take the risk.

This is almost equivalent to Liu Qing saving an extra life.

It is worthy of being called the godhood of power. Although obtaining it is harsh and full of randomness, the power and magical powers that come with it are all extraordinary.

The previous ability to control water was the most powerful means in Liu Qing's hands. Now the water puppet is even more magical than controlling water.

Liu Qing made a slight snake-like sound of excitement.

He couldn't hold back any longer and had an idea in his mind to conjure up a water puppet.

He used the divine power as the core, gathered the water from the pond as the trunk and limbs, and followed the appearance of his past life in his memory.
Shouting loudly: "Come out, my previous life——"

Unfortunately, with the sound of splashing water, the gathered water scattered and the water puppet, which had shown the first signs of its human form in its previous life, returned to nothingness.

Liu Qing was depressed.

After a little thought, he understood. Perhaps it was because the structure of his human body in the previous life was too complicated, and his own cultivation was shallow, and his supernatural powers were just at the entry level. How could he transform into a human-shaped water puppet in one go?

Liu Qing accepted the advice readily. This time, he tried to construct an anaconda.

The power and divinity flew out, and the pool water was gathered together again. As the glittering light appeared in front of him, starting from the anaconda's head, then the neck, the body, and the tail, finally an anaconda with a body length of ten feet and as thick as an adult's arm slowly appeared.

This anaconda was only one foot shorter than Liu Qing. After Liu Qing passed the three levels and became a demon, his body length reached ten feet.
In the following days, the minor-level elephant-swallowing talent continued to fill its stomach, causing its body to grow another foot in a short period of time.
At this moment, the body of the Liu Qingjiao Anaconda has reached ten feet in length.

The water puppet's anaconda body cannot exceed its original body in any way. This is the limitation of its magical powers.

On the panel, there is only 10% of the divinity left in the column of authority and divinity. This water puppet anaconda body has taken up half of Liu Qing's authority and divinity.

Fortunately, it is only borrowed temporarily. If the supernatural power is dissipated, the divinity will return.

Liu Qing tried to make the water puppet anaconda swim on the water, crawl on land, wind its way up trees, and dive into the sea. There were no problems at all. Moreover, the water puppet anaconda was like Liu Qing having an extra pair of eyes and ears, and it could transmit everything it saw and heard back to Liu Qing's body.

Liu Qing was in high spirits and controlled the water puppet anaconda's body again, following the muddy waterway of the snake pond all the way to Xiaolugou in the northeast.

After walking a mile, what he saw and heard was still very clear. Liu Qing continued to control it and walked for several more miles.
On the way, I saw the crab's left hand diligently expanding the waterway, and I couldn't help but sigh that I had recruited such a good subordinate.

It was not until five miles away that the sound transmitted back by the water puppet anaconda body became intermittent, and its body was shaking and about to fall apart.

I think it has reached the distance limit of the water puppet python's body.

In addition, there was another discovery that made Liu Qing very happy, that is, because the core of the water puppet anaconda body is the authority of divinity,
It does not consume any of Liu Qing's physical and mental strength, so this magical power can last forever when it is used, without worrying about consumption.

This magical power gave Liu Qing an additional means to save his life. He was so excited that it was beyond words.

This feeling did not subside until the sun rose.

Liu Qing just focused his attention and thought about how to use the accumulated source energy of heaven and earth.

Currently there are only 7 points, which is far from enough to improve the growth of existing talents or magical powers. Unlock new bloodline talents?
It is also an option, but Liu Qing thought that as he set up a stall in the future and earned a steady stream of incense silver, his incense godhood would surely advance by leaps and bounds.
When the incense godliness reaches 100%, there is a high possibility that a priesthood will be transformed, and a priesthood requires a Yin God to take office.

But my current cultivation level is very low, I can see that I have only refined my essence into qi at 7%, and if I change it to the other demon’s level, it is still in the early stage of refining essence into qi.

There is still a long way to go before refining the spirit and returning to emptiness, and nurturing the Yin spirit.

Therefore, Liu Qing decided that the source of heaven and earth qi accumulated in the future would first be used to supply Taoism, so as to elevate his realm and breed the Yin God as soon as possible.
Otherwise, you will have a priesthood but no Yin God and will not be able to take up the post.

Secondly, it is to improve the growth of existing talents or magical powers, and finally, to consider unlocking new bloodline talents.

For Liu Qing, a mere little demon, these existing blood talents and magical powers are currently sufficient.

After that, Liu Qing inhaled and exhaled moonlight for another ten days, and accumulated 70 points of heaven and earth source energy. He then added all of the heaven and earth source energy to his "realm".

[Realm: Refining Essence into Qi 14%]

The demonic energy in the body increased from seven strands to fourteen strands.

His skills and abilities were steadily improving. Liu Qing was neither arrogant nor impatient. He continued to eat, drink and nap during the day, and swallow the moonlight at night.
In his spare time, he would drive the White Snake and the Crab Left Hand, which had already completed the expansion of the waterway, to the shore, dig earthworms on rainy days, dry them on sunny days, and catch some land animals. After ensuring they had enough to eat and drink, the remaining ones would be dried into jerky to make it easier to set up a stall later.

Of course, Liu Qing never forgot the most important thing, salt.

After investigation, Liu Qing discovered that the cliffs to the north of the Snake Pond were covered with yellow-brown rock salt, and many antelopes climbed up to lick it.

Liu Qing was overjoyed and immediately asked Zuoshou Ge, a blue crab spirit with brute force and hard claws, to be carried by the water puppet anaconda and climb up the cliff to break up the rock salt.

On the water surface below the cliff, Scar Carp and the other three carp monsters, as well as the large group of snakes and pythons led by White Snake,

He took all the rock salt that Brother Zuoshou had knocked off and brought it back to the east bank of the Snake Pond and placed it on a large rock on the ground.

Liu Qing sprayed out a water chain, tied another big stone to use as a hammer, lifted it up and then dropped it, smashing the large pieces of rock salt into small particles.

Now, there are only two steps left in salt production.

That is boiling and filtering.

Boiling requires fire and a container, and filtering requires gauze, but where do these things come from?
