Ball Ball Cultivation

Qiuqiu also knew that what Xiao Huang said made sense, so he quickly took out the blue-striped fish with rich spiritual energy, began to add some deep-sea spiritual plants and poured in spiritual spring water, and used the five elements spiritual fire to stew the fish. In less than a quarter of an hour, the fragrance was everywhere. He divided the fish meat among Bai Yi, Bai Er and the others, poured the milky white fish soup into a bottle and let it cool, and gave it to the two little guys to drink. Sure enough, the effect was very good.

Qiuqiu made a lot of water-attributed soups using this method and stored them for the two little ones. He then gave them to Haikui and instructed, "Give them some when they cry. When they transform into Xuanwu's true form, release them into a pond. The lotus pond in front is fine, or the training pond in the back is also fine. There's a small sea behind the mountain to the east. Don't destroy the various formations and spiritual plants in it. You can also take them to the sea or the beach to play."

The next journey was for Qiuqiu to lead Bai Er and Bai Yi through the water, and they would dig for spiritual plants and spiritual minerals when they encountered them. They kept moving forward according to the map towards the human gathering place.

On this day, a group of three surrounded and killed an octopus monster that had reached the great perfection of foundation building. Due to its huge size, any tentacle it stretched out was enough for Qiuqiu to resist. The two little guys, Bai Yi and Bai Er, were basically there to serve as food. In the end, they trapped the monster with a formation plate. The three of them took turns to fight, preparing to wear down the octopus's demonic power bit by bit.

Unexpectedly, when it was Bai Er's turn, the small whip with the power of thunder and lightning directly hit the eyes of the octopus monster, which completely aroused the monster's ferocity. It broke free from the formation, destroyed the formation, and stretched out its two big claws towards Bai Er. Qiuqiu reacted quickly and pulled Bai Er away in time. Bai Yi had the flying boots of the top-grade treasure, and he could barely escape from the fish's mouth. So the three little ones ran in front, and the huge octopus monster chased behind. Qiuqiu pulled Bai Er and followed Bai Yi. When they encountered a small hole, they would drill into it, and the octopus behind them would "bang bang" and smash it straight ahead. When they encountered tree branches or other obstacles, they would use their tentacles to tear them apart and smash them through, with an attitude of never giving up.

When Qiuqiu and the others were about to be caught up, they would throw talismans to buy time to escape. When Bai Yi and Bai Er were exhausted, Qiuqiu would pull them along to run so that they could recover quickly. They should not always rely on space, and they should develop the habit of independence when they train alone in the future.

Finally, Qiuqiu was blocked in a big cave. Qiuqiu and the other two sat down and took pills to restore their cultivation. Qiuqiu turned into a drop of water and went out to attack first. Bai Yi and Bai Er attacked from behind. After discussing, they acted separately. Qiuqiu took the enemy by surprise and aimed at the head with the Sword of Chris. The octopus sensed the danger and dodged quickly, only cutting off one tentacle. Now the octopus was completely crazy and attacked Qiuqiu desperately. The two little reptiles behind it, Bai Er and Bai Yi, ignored it at all!

Qiuqiu was under immense pressure. Not only was he under pressure from his realm, but he was also in the ocean and faced powerful monsters. Even with all his strength, the three of them couldn't kill the octopus monster. Before he could run out of energy, Qiuqiu threw a blasting bomb into the fish monster's belly, ultimately killing it.

The monster had its own storage bag. Qiuqiu brought it into the space and asked Bai Yi and Bai Er to clean it up. They cut the meat and caught the fish for grilling. The five-month-old little brother could also eat it. The skin was peeled off and made into soft armor for Bai Er and the others to make it easier for them to swim in the water and avoid slowing down.

There were also many broken branches of spiritual plants in the storage bag. Those that could be saved were planted, and those that were withered were used to make medicine. There was also a broken picture of sea beast skin, which seemed to be not far from where they were. Everyone decided to go treasure hunting.

After killing monsters and gaining experience along the way, he arrived at the place shown on the map and found that it was a newly abandoned monster cave, which was the cave of the octopus. There was still some residual breath because there were bones of various monsters and human monks in it. What kind of treasure was there that made the monks come here to explore and let the octopus monster take it for itself?

After searching many times without success, the three finally summoned Little Yellow. As a soaring bird, he disliked swimming in water and was unhappy even when entering the water-repellent zone of the Water-Repellent Bead. However, after hearing that they had followed the treasure map but hadn't found the treasure, Little Yellow made a rare effort to investigate.

I don't see anything special about this cave. Besides, it's very close to land, and we'll be there in less than a month! What treasures can't wait until now? And this map isn't very old, it looks like it was recently drawn, so I guess there aren't any treasures.

Qiuqiu didn't give up, and finally called Huahua and Xiao Lingjing to take a look. It was Xiao Lingjing who finally concluded that there was a small spiritual vein underneath. If the octopus monster hadn't absorbed it excessively for a long time, it would have evolved into a medium-sized spiritual vein immediately. It was probably covered up by the octopus. Once the medium-sized spiritual vein was formed, it could use the spiritual energy of the spiritual vein to advance to the Golden Core stage.

This kind of dark spiritual vein is surrounded by spiritual hidden stones, so it is not easy to find. However, the little spirit only needs to sense it slightly, and it can sense the spiritual vein. This is a natural magical power. Qiuqiu still wants to take out the spiritual vein and give it to the little spirit so that he can sleep on it.

The little spirit was deeply moved and immediately cast a spell, causing a ripple in the ground. Then, a small tentacle of the little spirit appeared, holding a colorful spiritual vein as long as a chopstick. It returned to the space and placed it next to the palace, leading it underground. Qiuqiu thought they would need to dig underground, but unexpectedly, the little spirit only needed a little help to complete the task. He must find more spiritual veins in the future!

A month later, Qiuqiu brought Bai Yi and Bai Er onto land, marking the end of their three-year underwater journey. This was the closest city to Qinglong Island. To the east lay the Heavenly Demon Forest, and to the west lay the larger city, Duobao City, the headquarters of Duobao Pavilion.

Duobao City is a commercial city. Various Taoist, Buddhist, and demonic cultivators are very common, and there are also endless demon cultivators of various appearances. It is a big city with a particularly strong inclusiveness.

Qiuqiu decided to find a small town near the sea near Duobao City to settle down. He would raise the third and fourth children until they could live independently. He also wanted to consolidate and hone the cultivation of himself, Bai Yi, and Bai Er.

This is a peaceful little fishing village. Three years have passed. Qiuqiu brought Bai Yi and Bai Er to settle here, bought a fishing boat, and built a small yard at the end of the village. They live a peaceful and tranquil life. Bai Yi, who is already a teenager, is sorting out the fishing nets, and Bai Er, who is beginning to show her girlish charm, is washing the faces of the two little mud balls.

Thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys and girls are steady and mature, and can already support the family. Qiuqiu's voice came from the house: "Bai Yi, Bai Er, Xuan Chen and Xuan Shen are almost ready for dinner."

Bai Yi, who had already grown into a handsome young man, put away his fishing nets and went into the kitchen to help Qiuqiu serve the dishes. Bai Er carried a naughty kid covered in mud into the house, performed several purification spells on them, and the family sat together to start eating.

There was a knock on the door. Bai Yi opened it and saw that it was his neighbor, Aunt Wang, so he asked, "Grandma Wang, what's going on?"

Grandma Wang, who was over fifty and covered in flesh, squeezed into the courtyard. Seeing the dried fish all over the yard, she greedily walked into the house. Seeing Qiuqiu and the others were eating, she didn't wait for the host to say anything. She immediately found a stool and sat down and said, "Sister Xu, I came here this time for your own good. Lord Liu in the town is at the peak of the foundation building stage and will soon form a golden elixir. He doesn't mind you being a burden and is helping you raise four children. He wants to take you in as a concubine. After you give birth, he promises to help you become his wife. If he didn't see that you can give birth, he wouldn't have asked me to mediate again and again. Don't worry that he will treat your children from your ex-husband badly. The two older children are quite talented and have decent cultivation for their young age. He promises to have a way to send them to become disciples of a large sect."

As he spoke, he sighed deeply, his eyes full of envy: "Why are you still so reserved? We monks don't have those rules of being faithful to one person. Besides, you have been staying with your ex-husband for three years. You should remarry while you are still young so that you will have a place to stay for the rest of your life. Besides, Lord Liu has been waiting for you for three years."

Xuan Shennai, who was gnawing on a fish bone, said fiercely, "Our daddy is not dead. He will come to pick us up soon. Daddy is the best."

Qiuqiu smiled helplessly and replied: "Aunt Wang, the child's father is alive and well, I really didn't lie to you. I have told you many times that I have no intention of remarrying, so don't bother yourself." Bai Er and Xuan Chen on the side glared at Aunt Wang!

In the end, Bai Yi came forward to send Grandma Wang away: "Grandma Wang, we are just settling here temporarily. Our father is really not dead. Please help me refuse my mother's request!" After saying this, he was about to close the door without any politeness.

Granny Wang replied through the crack in the door, "That's why I'm here to talk to you nicely. If Lord Liu comes in person, it won't be just a nice talk. He has relatives in the main sect with high status. You should persuade your mother. Even for the sake of you four, she can't force it. Besides, there are many benefits if she agrees. Although Lord Liu has many concubines, he can't have any children. As long as your mother gives birth to a child, she can have everything she wants."

The family has settled here for three years. Although the spiritual energy is thin, the power of the moonlight is strong at night. Every time they go out to sea, Qiuqiu practices on a small island formed by a huge reef with rich water spiritual energy. The moonlight covering the island is convenient for laying the foundation for the two little Xuanwu. Bai Yi and Bai Er will also transform into white tigers to absorb and exhale the moonlight to practice demonic power.

Two years ago, when Qiuqiu was shopping for daily necessities in Liujia Town, he found that the cultivators who stayed in these villages and towns were all below the Jindan stage. Occasionally, one or two foundation-building cultivators would appear and become village chiefs or powerful figures in the town. So Qiuqiu did not disguise herself and simply wore women's clothes. With Bai Yi and Bai Er by her side, and Xuan Chen and Xuan Shen in her arms, she went shopping to buy some seafood and some pots, pans, shoes, hats, clothes, socks, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea and other daily necessities.

At a large grocery store, I met Lord Liu, who was out on patrol. Lord Liu owned many shops in the area. He was wealthy, but with few children, he was extremely obsessed with having offspring. He had countless concubines, including young girls, widows, wives, and even half-demons and demons. He would actively pursue any woman he heard could bear children, and he would never refuse anyone!

Seeing that Qiuqiu had four children at such a young age and was good-looking, she immediately asked someone to inquire about her. When she learned that she had no husband, she asked Granny Wang to come and mediate. If she had not been concerned about Qiuqiu's cultivation level in the late stage of foundation building, which was comparable to her own, she would have resorted to extraordinary measures long ago!
