Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

After receiving the news, Gongsun Qiu and Long Er looked at each other and said nothing.

Only the man who came to report was left kneeling on the ground, at a loss.

After losing the battle this time, who knows if the two bosses will be furious and punish me?

Our own Hall Master Han has gone into hiding, leaving him to take the blame.

The man knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe, until he heard Gongsun Qiu say, "Okay, we got it." Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and quickly retreated.

The two were silent for a while, and finally Long Er spoke first, "If I remember correctly, this Du... Du or something, seems to have drunk that strange water, right?"

"Yes, there was once a strange purple water flowing down from Black Mountain County, which poisoned many creatures downstream. However, there were also some special cases, such as this guy, who drank the purple water but survived, and possessed a certain demonic ability in his body."

"This is the terrifying thing about Blackwater County. The existence of Purple Water has led to a significant increase in the number of extraordinary people there."

"Whether a transcendental being transformed into a demon can still be considered a human remains to be further verified."

"Forget it, let those guys from Qinghe County worry about it. I guess they won't be able to figure out what's going on even if they rack their brains."

The two smiled at each other, secretly feeling lucky that Du Dagui did not transform into a demon in their territory. Otherwise, this guy would not be able to distinguish between friend and foe, and would probably cause quite a bit of chaos.

"We suffered a setback in Qinghe County this time, so we have to get back at them. Otherwise, if word gets out, people will think that we in Shuibo County are afraid of them." Gongsun Qiu and Long Er gave these instructions lightly, and the decision was finalized.

In their opinion, the small Qinghe County was nothing to be afraid of. Perhaps it was the sudden transformation and madness of the big turtle Du that led to their defeat. As for naval battles, when had their Shuibo County ever lost?

……

Yongxin Street, inside the small courtyard.

Xiao Suchen was playing chess with Chen Changfan when he saw Zhang Yi and his men dragging in a large piece of rotten meat. The corner of Xiao Suchen's mouth twitched, "Where did they catch this giant toad? It looks so disgusting!"

Zhang Yi chuckled, "Reporting to Pavilion Master Xiao, this is not a toad, but the mutated form of an extraordinary warrior."

Hearing this, Chen Changfan and Xiao Suchen both showed interested expressions. They walked closer and found that it was indeed a person.

But this thing looked so ugly that they thought it was a big toad.

They saw that the man's upper body was almost unrecognizable as a human, which was indeed a reaction to his transformation into a demon. However, the confusion on the two men's faces was even greater.

"Why are there so many monsters now? First there was the monster-turned-clam spirit, and now this monster-turned-warrior. I'm afraid there's something terribly strange about Shuibo County."

Xiao Suchen couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Changfan was quite interested, but did not show it.

Only he knew that the reason why the river clam turned into a demon was mainly because of the Azure Dragon Eye. So, could the transformation of this warrior into a demon also be related to the four sacred beasts or the twelve zodiac animals?

As far as I can remember, there doesn't seem to be any mythical beasts or zodiac signs in the shape of a toad. However, a toad might represent something extremely poisonous, so could it be related to the snake?

Chen Changfan had many guesses at once.

"Brother Changfan, do you have any higher-grade precious medicine? I feel like I'm close to a breakthrough, but I'm still a little weak... ahem, a little frail."

Chen Changfan glanced at Xiao Suchen.

Oh, no need to hide, I understand everything.

Chen Changfan directly activated the Qi-gazing technique and found that the color of Xiao Suchen's Qi kept changing, which indeed looked like a sign of a breakthrough. If there were some precious medicine to assist, he would have a better chance of success, or the number of steps he could take would be higher.

During these three days, the Azure Dragon Eye continued to emit essence, and together with the Azure Dragon essence that had been absorbed into the Zhenqi Ding before, after being refined by the Zhenqi Ding, it had condensed into a small ball of light blue essence liquid.

In addition, a small amount of basalt essence released from the basalt armor was also refined into three or four drops of basalt essence liquid, presenting a slightly thick black luster.

"There's too little Black Tortoise Spiritual Liquid, but there's quite a bit of Azure Dragon Spiritual Liquid, and it can be refined continuously. I can trade a little bit."

Chen Changfan thought for a moment and decided to share some of the Azure Dragon's essence with Xiao Suchen.

However, he didn't want to reveal the secret of the Azure Dragon Essence directly, so he still had to pretend a little.

Chen Changfan returned to the room and took out a jar of Lantern Wine. He added a drop of Qinglong Essence and some Erguotou. He pretended to put in two ginseng roots, Ganoderma lucidum, and other ingredients. After stirring evenly, he carefully brought it out and placed it on the stone table.

"Master Xiao, you're in luck! I happen to have a few jars of brewed spirit wine here. They're very beneficial for cultivation, but I only have three jars in total, so I'm really reluctant to give them away..."

As he spoke, Chen Changfan deliberately acted embarrassed, and Xiao Suchen immediately understood, "Aren't you in need of ebony for shipbuilding? I'll just give you 20,000 pieces of ebony from our sect. However, before we trade, you have to let me taste this wine first."

ebony?

Chen Changfan's eyes lit up.

Ebony is expensive, but it is hard and corrosion-resistant, making it most suitable for building ships.

He had previously stockpiled some ebony, but the more the better, as every warship consumed a huge amount of wood.

"Don't you trust my brewing skills?"

As Chen Changfan spoke, he pretended to open the cork and poured a small glass of wine. Xiao Suchen immediately picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.

Xiao Suchen's eyes lit up when he felt a surge of power dissipating from his body.

"Is this the spiritual wine? I feel like I can break through right now!"

Xiao Suchen, who was already on the threshold of a breakthrough, almost couldn't help but break through on the spot after drinking the spiritual wine containing the essence of the Azure Dragon.

This shows how amazing the effect of this spiritual wine is.

"Don't rush to break through yet. Go back and absorb the essence of the spirit wine. Then you can break through after you are fully prepared."

Chen Changfan warned.

The more stable Xiao Suchen's foundation is, the more solid his strength will be after the breakthrough. Confucian scholars have a great benefit effect on warriors, and Chen Changfan really hopes that Xiao Suchen's strength can be stronger.

"Of course. I'll be honored to receive this spirit wine. I'll have 20,000 pieces of ebony delivered to the shipyard tomorrow."

Xiao Suchen held the wine jar carefully as if he was holding a newborn baby.

Chen Changfan nodded, then bowed to Xiao Suchen and said, "I look forward to hearing from Pavilion Master Xiao. If you break through, you will become the first seventh-order transcendent in Qinghe County."

Lei Shan is not a native of Qinghe County, and his combat power is still slightly weaker among the seventh-level ones. But if Xiao Suchen breaks through the seventh level, it will be different.

There are seventh-level extraordinary people in several surrounding states and counties, so these neighbors all want to come here to get a piece of the pie. This situation should be changed in the future.
