On the panel, without mentioning other things, just look at the "divinity" column. Among them, he occupies the Snake Pond and Xiaolugou Water Vein, and his authority and divinity have reached 20%.

These two pools and ditches are nothing compared to the Dawan Lake water veins that the mansion master controls, which are hundreds of miles in radius.

I can gain 20% of the authority and divinity from this little bit of water vein of mine, but the Lord of the Mansion controls the entire Dayawan Lake, but has no authority or divinity at all?
This has not been proven, but it is Liu Qing's speculation. Otherwise, the Lord of the Mansion is not stupid. He can become a god with the power of divinity, not be coerced by incense, and be free and easy. Did his brain get whipped by Madam Mandarin Fish's tail, so he would think of using incense to become a god?
Even if the incense is high, the master of the house is very ambitious. He wants to become a seventh-grade god with a million incense sticks, a ninth-grade god with ten thousand, and an eighth-grade god with a hundred thousand.

But even if you burn incense, for every ten taels of incense silver you absorb, you can gain 1 point of incense divinity. With only one thousand taels, you can reach 100% of the incense divinity.

At that time, according to what the old turtle said, he could at least become a ninth-grade subordinate god, and then, with 10,000 taels, he could become an eighth-grade subordinate god, and with 100,000 taels, he could become a seventh-grade true god.

The consumption required is only one tenth of what the Palace Master or other river monsters or mountain monsters need!

Moreover, because the divinity of incense is obtained by absorbing incense silver, the divinity will eventually reach 100%, and it will be a natural thing to obtain the priesthood. There is no need to beg for mercy and pray to heaven and earth like them. Success or failure depends on the grace of others.

Comparing the two, the difference was immediately apparent. Liu Qing was once again shocked and surprised by the power of the plug-in.

Well, you guys can just wag your tails and beg for favors from others, but I will become a god on my own. We'll meet on the road to becoming gods. Who knows, maybe the Lord of the Mansion will even call me 'God' by then.

Liu Qing was secretly happy in his heart, but then he came to his senses and quickly calmed himself down, so as not to be careless and be noticed by other old monsters.

Clearing his throat, Liu Qing bowed and pointed eastward towards Dayan Lake. "We are here to guard the various clans. We should be helping the master with his worries, but we lack the means and abilities. We are powerless. We can only wish the master all the best and hope that all his wishes come true—"

Liu Qing sang in a high-sounding tone, and the other demons did not dare to lag behind. They followed suit and wished that the master of the mansion could grab the difference of one million taels of silver for incense offerings during the Qingming Festival.

After this interruption, the mandarin fish demon woman stationed at Shuiyutan, the master's sister-in-law, no longer had the atmosphere to seduce Liu Qing, and had to give up.
But she thought that the mating season for snakes would soon be approaching, and she immediately made up her mind to keep an eye out when she returned.

Afterwards, the two demons, Xia Kexing and Xia Qianqian, who were added as the landlords, ordered their subordinates, Xiaguai, to serve fine wine and delicious food to entertain the garrisons.
It's a pity that there are many river monsters here that cannot come ashore, otherwise Liu Qing would definitely use his special skills to light a fire and grill some beef skewers for the monsters, so that they can understand the joy of drinking and eating skewers.

After eating and drinking, all the monsters had gained something. They had formed a salt and goods alliance and made friends with Liu Qing, the extraordinary snake monster. They all felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Soon, the guards from each meridian dispersed in groups of three or two.

Liu Qing said to Xia Kexing, who clasped his fists lightly, his face flushed, "Brother, sister-in-law, I have something to ask of you!"

"You and I are half-brothers. If you have any questions, just ask me. I will never say 'no'."

Xia Kexing boasted, taking on more and more, oblivious to the rolling eyes of Xia Qianqian beside him. This guy, all about the wine, no one to manage the door. Even if the relationship was good, he still had to do what he could.

Fortunately, Liu Qing didn't let Xia Qianqian worry: "Brother, sister-in-law, my Snake Pond was hit by an earth dragon last year, and almost all the creatures in the pond died, especially the old clams and snails. They were almost wiped out. I'm so shameless that I want to ask for a batch of old clams and snails to use as seedlings for reproduction. I wonder if it's feasible?"

Seeing this, Xia Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief, and without caring about Xia Kexing, she rushed to say, "Sister-in-law, there are mostly old clams and snails in the Wuding River. Uncle needs them, so feel free to pick a batch and send it over. It will be considered a gift from your sister-in-law to your uncle."

She is a person who can manage the family business. Xia Qianqian's performance did not disgust Liu Qing. Instead, he felt that when he got married in the future, he would marry someone like Xia Qianqian.

I wonder if Hong Gu is a spendthrift woman.

When Xia Kexing fell drunk, Xia Qianqian helped him to the cave to rest, and also instructed the servants to use the fish bladder filled with air to breathe with him every once in a while to prevent him from getting drunk and suffocating to death from lack of oxygen at the bottom of the water.

Later, Xia Qianqian led Liu Qing to pick a batch of old clams and snails from the mud at the bottom of Wuding River.
Among them, the old clams are at least the size of a washbasin, and the field snails are almost as big as a child's fist. Snails and clams of this size are almost about to transform into monsters.

In addition, Xia Qianqian is thoughtful and gives Liu Qing snails and clams that are mostly half male and half female to facilitate reproduction.

Liu Qing bowed from a distance and bid farewell to Xia Qianqian who was floating on the surface of Wuding River to see him off.

Xia Qianqian looked at Liu Qing's back and secretly admired this newly recognized younger brother of the head of the family. His words, deeds, manners, methods, and talents were all extraordinary.

It seems that he is someone with whom we can have a deep friendship. It is possible that he and his wife will have to rely on him in the future.

Thinking of this, Xia Qianqian decided to let the head of the family spend more time with Liu Qing in the future to avoid a weakening of their relationship.

After bidding farewell to Xia Qianqian, Liu Qing used the water chain as a whip to drive thousands of pairs of snails and clams along the bottom of Wuding River towards Xiaolugou.

There was a piece of land on the way, but fortunately, due to the recent spring rains, the land was muddy and slippery, so the snails and clams were able to move around when they came ashore, and there was no risk of suffocating from lack of water.

Also, because it happened to be dawn, there were no pedestrians on land, so there was no need to worry about the whip causing clams to move in the water. Such bizarre things would frighten mortals.

Going south, then around to the east, just as Huayang was rising, I drove the snails and clams to Xiaolugou.

The next thing went much smoother. After entering Xiaolugou, I called in three scarred carps that were patrolling the river and asked them to walk on the clams.
Liu Qing flicked the snake's tail and sped up his movement towards the snake pond.

The snails and clams were moving very slowly along the way, which made Liu Qing very anxious.

Arriving at the Snake Pond, the sun was rising, and the sunlight shone on the water, making the water shimmer. The white snake smelled the scent and came to meet it, its tail wagging as it flew up.

When the other spirits saw the master of the house coming back, they all surfaced to greet him, smiling with their green snake eyes, and nodded one by one.

Then, he climbed up the crooked mulberry tree, lay down, felt the warmth of the sun, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Go home.
