[Heaven and Earth Source Qi: 4 points]

It has been a month since I passed the three levels of transformation into a demon. I have just improved my cultivation to 57% of the transformation from essence to qi, which is equivalent to the middle stage of the transformation from essence to qi of other river demons.

Liu Qing finally conjured up his hands tonight.

Thinking back to the time when Hong Gu was able to conjure up two hands right after she passed the third level, if we were to talk about her level of cultivation, she had only just entered the stage of refining essence into qi.
But because its body is strong and it is a complete dragon fish body, it can transform into two hands with one leap.

Of course, the stronger the original body is, the more advantages and disadvantages there are. The advantage is that it is possible to transform into a human body earlier. As for the disadvantage, Liu Qing learned after asking, it is extremely difficult to pass the three levels when transforming into a demon.

Liu Qing's current true form is a horned boa constrictor, which is far inferior to a dragon fish. Therefore, he was able to catch up with Hong Gu only after his cultivation level reached the middle stage of refining essence into qi.

This speed is far slower than Hong Gu's, but much faster than Xia Kexing and the black fish guards and green fish guards in the water palace.

Xia Kexing is a part of the human body that was transformed in the late stage of refining essence into qi, while Qingyu Qinwei was in the middle stage of refining essence into qi and had not yet transformed into hands or feet.

When a river monster transforms, the hands and feet are the most important. It depends on personal preference. You can transform the hands first or the feet first.

Xia Kexing has claws, so he chose to transform his feet first, while Liu Qing has only one body, so he had already transformed his hands.

At the moment, Liu Qing's body is a horned boa constrictor, which is 14 feet long and as thick as an adult's calf, about six fingers thick.

The hands that had just appeared looked a bit awkward on such a torso, but Liu Qing was already very satisfied. This was a huge leap from nothing to something.

With hands, you can do a lot of things.

For example, Liu Qing cut off a willow branch from a willow tree, twisted the bark loose, pulled out the inner willow branch, and then pinched off the hard skin at one end with his fingernails to reveal the white flesh inside.

Put it in your mouth and blow gently, and suddenly, the unique sound of the willow flute will be heard over the Snake Pond.

The green willows are hanging down with the scent of spring, and the willow flute sounds with endless melody.

The sound of the willow flute is melodious and graceful, like the breath of spring. Brother Zuoshou leans on his pliers and listens attentively. The white snake wags its tail and sings in harmony.
The scarred carp swung its tail and slapped the flesh-whiskered carp, making a drum-like sound. The female carp, with a red tint between her brows, glared at the scarred carp in annoyance, complaining that the carp always bullied the honest and simple flesh-whiskered carp.

The short-tailed water python raised its body high and danced with the willow flute. It saw a group of stupid snakes and pythons behind it, just staring blankly.
He immediately swung his tail and whipped. The snakes and pythons who were reminded reacted instantly and hit each other with their tails, like guests watching the dance applauding.

The eel monster, which had just been attracted from Xiaolugou by the noisy turtle shells and the terrifying drumsticks, was still a little unfamiliar with the Snake Pond family. It only dared to hide in the corner, occasionally making a quiet "bang" call.

Seeing this, Liu Qing became even happier and the sound of his flute became even more melodious.

If Hong Gu were here, I would play the flute and she would dance, how beautiful it would be. Unfortunately, Hong Gu is gone, leaving only the snake here, and the pond full of joy but no one to share its joy with.

Thinking of Hong Gu, Liu Qing felt a little sad, and the melodious flute sound gradually became low.

The wind blew, the clouds came, the moon pulled the stars, and the plaintive sound of the flute stirred her heart, and she hid in her room, feeling sad.

Pearly tears slid down her face and dripped onto the ground in the night.

The spring rain is like silk, coming slowly.

Spring rain is like longing. Once it starts, it will continue without stopping. Longing can be buried deep in the heart, but the spring rain cannot be stopped. We can only let it fall to its full potential.

There is naturally no moon due to the continuous rain. On moonless nights, the River Monster Market in Dayawan Lake will inevitably open again.

On a lingering rainy night, Liu Qing asked Zuoshou Ge and Baisheer to look after the house, then he twisted his body,

Coming out of Shetan, follow the waterway, enter Xiaolugou, then head northeast all the way to Dayawan Lake.

At this time, it was already mid-February.

The surface of Dawan Lake is dotted with duckweed, and the willows beside the lake are like silk. In the drizzle, the willow catkins that scatter in large numbers on sunny days all mix with the rain and flow into the lake.

It attracts silver carp, bighead carp, grass carp and other light-mouthed fish, which compete for the food.

In the northwest of Dayawan Lake, under the cliff, in the rocky shallows, the algae swayed, welcoming Liu Qing who came from afar.

The bustling crowd of fish and shrimp monsters, some swinging their arms, some stepping with their legs, move through the algae, looking for the items they need to buy.

The enthusiastic frog demon stood upright, clapping his hands on his belly to make drum sounds, rhythmically attracting customers.

The crocodile dealer, who looks foolish but is actually treacherous, has harmed another of his fellow crocodiles this time. On his seaweed stall, he displays several half-leather armors made of crocodile skins and keeps selling them in a hoarse voice.

Although Liu Qing set out early, due to the long journey, when he arrived at the market, he found that there were no good stalls left, only a few corners.

After walking around the market, Liu Qing still couldn't find the stall he wanted. Just when Liu Qing was about to find a corner to set up a stall,

Suddenly, the intelligence box, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly emitted a dazzling red light.

The red level can at least produce low-quality heavenly treasures or river treasures.

Liu Qing was secretly delighted and opened it quickly.

[Today's Intelligence: Level Red. At the Catfish Demon gambling stall on the easternmost side of the market, a black-edged river clam has produced a mid-grade river clam pearl, rich in Heaven and Earth Qi.]

After reading it, Liu Qing dispelled the illusory intelligence prompt, and then followed the prompt and headed towards the easternmost part of the market.

The Dayuan Lake Market is located in the northwest of the lake, but it runs east-west and stretches for hundreds of meters, with stalls set up along the lake.

After a while, Liu Qing snaked his body and arrived in front of a stall at the easternmost end of the market.

This place is surrounded by a group of river monsters and goblins. It is not as deserted as the other corner stalls. It is obviously very popular.

Liu Qing was surprised, and exerted a little force on his snake body to push away a few carp monsters. The carp monsters looked at him angrily.
"Which blind bastard dared to disturb your Master Li's gambling habit?"

Liu Qing's snake eyes glared at the guy coldly, then demonic energy surged, and two hands appeared on the chest of the snake body.

The carp monster, which had just begun to speak like a human, suddenly became silent.

Liu Qing spread his hands and used his horned anaconda's brute force to randomly pull away the black fish, hairy crab, and bighead carp monsters that were blocking his way.

The monsters were originally in high spirits, but when they saw Liu Qing pushing them away, they all wanted to open their mouths to curse, but when they saw Liu Qing's appearance, they were instantly silenced.

In the lake market, the people who come and go the most are spirits and monsters. There are not many people like Liu Qing who have transformed into a demon and have profound Taoism skills and can use his hands and feet to perform magic.

Liu Qing finally squeezed to the front.

"My dear friends in the water, I am setting up a stall today. The rules are the same as usual. Here are hundreds of unopened river clams.
All you need is one ounce of salt, or the equivalent in incense silver, and you can choose any river clam to open. If you want to bet on clams, come forward quickly—"
