Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 94: The Water Embryo in the Stone Box, Swallowing the Spirit and Refining Qi to Transform into a Spirit
The intelligence treasure box was illusory, and Liu Qing felt that the dazzling golden light was only seen by him.

His heart beat uncontrollably, and Liu Qing hurriedly opened the intelligence box.

[Today's intelligence: Grade gold, among the six top-grade river jades that Palace Master Yuan Datou brought out, one piece looked the worst, with black spots and impurities. It turns out to be a hidden gem, a precious gem hidden within the stone.]

The intelligence treasure box has been around for so long, and Liu Qing is familiar with it. Generally speaking, ordinary things and treasures of inferior quality will emit white light.
Low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade items will emit red light. The higher the grade, the thicker and more dazzling the red light. Among them, the probability of getting high-grade river treasures, heavenly spirits, or earthly treasures is the lowest.
As for the golden light, there is a certain probability that it will produce high-quality river treasures, but most of them are rare treasures or magical tools such as water crystals and water spirit beads.

The golden light that shone from the intelligence treasure box this time was dazzling, and it was definitely not because of the top-grade water jade, but because of the water fetus hidden in the heart of the water jade.
As for what the water fetus is, Liu Qing has not got it yet, and the plug-in has not given any explanation.

I had signed up for the Jing River River Festival earlier, and the intelligence box gave me a hint, saying, "This trip is heading south, and it will bring good luck."
I originally thought that it should be on the top-grade water jade promised by the mansion lord, but I never expected that it would be on the 'water embryo in the stone'.

Liu Qing followed the two demons forward with a smile on his face, showing his excitement, but he was secretly thinking in his heart how to get the water jade mentioned in the intelligence treasure box.

The Palace Master Yuan Datou arranged six water jades in a row and suspended them in front of the three monsters. Just as Liu Qing was thinking about how to use his only chance to get the water embryo in the stone,

Suddenly, General Turtle burst into laughter. "Mr. Eel and I are both elders of the Water Residence. We never thought we'd be competing with a junior today. Even though we won, we're quite ashamed."

You old fellow, you are so ungrateful after getting the advantage. If you are ashamed, why don’t you give up the first place to me, Master Liu?

"But seeing the youngsters' extravagant skills and rapid progress in cultivation, this trip was definitely worthwhile. Haha, haha—"

Who did you learn this from? You laugh as soon as I talk. Doesn't it mean you can't talk if you don't laugh? You're such a greasy old fool.

"Brother Liu's performance this time is quite extraordinary, and he is also very resourceful when facing battle. Seeing his prowess, I sigh that the Water Palace has a successor."

Are you done yet, old fellow? You keep calling me 'junior' and 'Brother Liu'. What's the point of this? It's confusing the order of generations.

"How about this, Master, although these six water jades are all of top grade, there are still some differences among them. Why don't we let Brother Liu choose first? This will be considered a small benefit for the younger generation. Mr. Eel, do you think this is feasible?"

Grandpa Eel and Liu Qing have always been close. The newly born eel monster Grandpa Eel Bom in the Snake Pond recognized him as his godfather with the help of Liu Qing. How could he not agree?

Eel Eunuch nodded with a smile, and Palace Master Yuan Datou wiped his shiny forehead and said, "Okay, in that case, Liu Qing, you can choose first—"

Liu Qing, who had been criticizing General Cao in his heart, was stunned when he heard the words, and his pupils were filled with joy.

I was still racking my brains to figure out how to get the water fetus from the stone, but I never thought that it would be delivered to me personally by Old Man Turtle.

Liu Qing is also a short-sighted person. He just called the other person an "old guy", but now that he can take advantage of the situation, he immediately becomes an "old man".

"I, the little demon, thank you General Turtle and Eel for your kindness."

Liu Qing bowed happily and reached out to grab the water jade that had a rough appearance and was obviously a size smaller.

This move surprised the mansion masters. They all thought Liu Qing would choose the biggest and best-looking one.

Although they are all top-grade water jade, there are differences in the source of heaven and earth contained in them. Generally speaking,
The ones that are large in size and round in appearance contain more source energy of heaven and earth. For example, the one Liu Qing chose contains at least 10% to 20% less source energy of heaven and earth than the largest and roundest water jade.

I never thought that Liu Qing would choose the worst one.

General Tuo sighed endlessly, Madam Yu secretly said it was a pity, Eunuch Eel winked wildly, and Mansion Master Yuan Datou's eyes were full of admiration.

"You are humble and polite, never fighting or competing, and you can stick to your heart in the face of temptation. Liu Qing, you are really a good demon, no worse than Kong Rong who gave up his pear in the world." Xia Kexing clamored to support his brother, and the mandarin fish demon's eyes were full of brilliance. He made rapid progress in Taoism, had extraordinary methods, and was grateful and humble. The man I chose is more and more to my liking.

The other river monsters also looked appreciative, but Ah Da, one of the three water willows, secretly lifted up his bark in silent protest.
Look, don’t be fooled by this black-handed snake, it’s not a good monster.

A martial arts competition in the Water Palace came to a successful conclusion. Three days later, those who accompanied the Palace Master Yuan Datou to the Jing River were General Turtle, Eel Grandpa, Liu Qing, Water Beetle, three water willows, four short men, Duckweed Banshee, Little Turtle Dragon, General Qinghua, and the ten pufferfish garrison monsters.

After the martial arts selection, Madam Clam led a group of clam maidens and turtle servants from the Water Palace to serve wine and food. The river monsters ate meat and drank wine, making noise for half the night before dispersing.

Liu Qing's original form was a snake python and he couldn't drink alcohol, so he was responsible for sending the drunken river monsters to the side hall to rest.
After throwing all the river monsters onto the bed, Liu Qing could no longer bear it and took out the water jade stone.

[Explanation: The Water Embryo in the Stone is a rare item born from the energy of the water veins. It is of all ranks and can avoid being observed by souls. When mature, it can give rise to a congenital spirit fetus. Consuming it can create a new physical body.]

Liu Qing read the explanation and thought to himself, no wonder General Tuo gave birth to the Yin God and the soul, but could not discover the mystery of the water fetus in the stone.
Even the Mansion Lord and Madam Yu, who had a deeper level of cultivation and had reached the realm of Lianxu Hedao, did not discover it. It turned out that it was because the water fetus in the stone could avoid the spying of souls.

However, this is only one of its magical features. The greater magical feature is that it can reshape the body.

Liu Qing thought about this carefully and had some ideas in mind.

However, it was still too early to realize his plan, so Liu Qing kept it in his heart for the time being and only absorbed the source of heaven and earth contained in the outer layer of the water embryo in the stone.

He opened his mouth and swallowed, and boundless suction came out. The water fetus in the stone emitted a bit of spiritual charm and was swallowed into Liu Qing's stomach.

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi +1]

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi +1]

It had been a long time since he had absorbed the source energy of heaven and earth so happily. Liu Qing burped comfortably, feeling extremely satisfied.

In an instant, the Qi was refined into spirit.
