From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal

[Taiyin Soul Nourishing Water: Extracted from Taiyin Moonlight, a drop in the eyes can brighten and soothe the mind, strengthen the soul, and regular use is beneficial for the consolidation of the Divine Soul.]

Divine Soul?!

Li Quanqing's eyes widened, this is exclusive to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The power of the Divine Soul can drill out of the Mud Pill Palace silently, exploring the universe.

Qi Refining cultivators face three major challenges when breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

Magic Power Difficult, Physical Body Difficult, Divine Soul Difficult.

If the soul is not strong enough, it is hard to mobilize the liquid mana at the last moment to cycle through the body to nurture the shell and transform the soul.

Ultimately, one can only fail sadly.

Li Quanclear quietly stores the light group into his Storage Bag, it shatters into fleeting specks of white light that only he can see.

He initially thought it would be like the Nourishing Spirit Mud, the type that's a yellow, big-bellied gourd.

Unexpectedly, the final reward turned out to be a small gourd, the length of a finger.

The gourd was crystal-clear, looking like flawless crystal and felt ice cold to the touch.

Li Quanqing shook it a few times; the liquid inside made a sloshing sound, it was not even full.

Damn it, even the Golden Finger started to skimp on materials!

The young man pulled out the cork and used the Water Control Skill to extract a few drops of Soul Nourishing Water.

The liquid was clear, its quality gentle, emitting a cold breeze constantly, hardly any different from dew.

Li Quanqing tried dropping it into his eyes.

As the liquid touched his eyes, there was an initial sting, followed by a refreshing coolness that traveled straight to the depths of his brain.

It felt like walking into an ice house on a hot summer day, refreshing every part of his body, sweeping away all sleepiness and fatigue.

Looks like there's no need for a nap now.

Li Quanqing closed his eyes, as if he saw a bright moon emerge in the darkness, its light slowly strengthening his soul.

"It's somewhat like the visualization methods in storybooks, I wonder if the Li Family has any cultivation techniques for the soul."

Li Quanqing opened his eyes, his eyes now bright and seemingly able to see through people's hearts.

Once the Taiyin Soul Nourishing Water was completely absorbed by him, even if he closed his eyes again, he no longer saw the vision of the moon.

This water shouldn't be used too much, three to five times a day is enough.

Moo Moo!

Ao Qing swam around in the water, flapping her fins, staring at the Jade Gourd in his hand, mooing longingly.

"You want to drink this stuff?"

Li Quanqing hesitated, unsure if a spirit liquid meant for external use was drinkable.

Looking at the corpulent and robust Green Jade Carp, he eventually released a drop of Taiyin Soul Nourishing Water into the fish's mouth.

Moo~

Ao Qing eagerly smacked her lips, seemingly longing for more, and continued mooing at him.

"Can't drink any more, let's observe for a few days to see if there are any signs of poisoning."

Li Quanqing stated sternly, like an adult chastising a child.

Psh!

The Green Jade Carp spat out a Water Arrow and with a flip of its tail, took its comrades and dove back under the sea to cultivate by absorbing the essence of water.

"This cheeky fish, really asking for a beating!"

Li Quanqing stored the Jade Gourd properly, then began examining the mature Bright Moon Shell.

The Spiritual Shell was flawless white, as big as a bowl, and its shell was covered in beautiful patterns, faintly sketching the shape of the moon.

Crack! Crack!

Feeling the familiar presence approaching, the Bright Moon Shell kept opening and closing, drawing in and expelling water, revealing its tender pink flesh.

[Lonely and Empty]Bright Moon Shell: "Wants to smooth out the edges and become polished and rounded!"

[Cultivation: Qi Refinement First Layer (1%)]

Li Quanqing: ...

I suspect this shell is not quite proper, but alas, I have no evidence.

According to Xie Hongyu, once the Bright Moon Shell reaches maturity, its pearls can be polished.

To obtain the Treasure Spirit Pearl, ordinary sandstones won't do; Spirit Stones are the best embryos.

"Open up!"

Li Quanqing tapped the shell and stuffed a large Spirit Stone into it, rough and hard.

The Bright Moon Shell closed its shell and tightly enveloped the Spirit Stone with its flesh, emitting a very pleased emotion.

The Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Stone only flowed out, whereas the Spiritual Energy in the Treasure Spirit Pearl could be refined into Mana and stored within.

It's somewhat like the difference between a battery and a power bank.

I heard that the Xie family on Baoshu Island has a Thousand-Year-Old Spirit Shell that can nurture a Second Rank Treasure Spirit Pearl.

Other Foundation Establishment cultivators go through a tough battle, depleting their Mana enormously, and still miserably refining Spirit Stones and consuming Elixirs.

However, the Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Xie family has already extracted the Treasure Spirit Pearl and instantly refined it, fully revived.

After checking the maturity of other Bright Moon Shells, Li Quanqing finally left with peace of mind.

He headed to Zone C's fishpond, using aromatic fish bait to catch all the Ironshell Crabs in one sweep, hauling them all away, straight to Qingyu Island.

Selling Crabs!

23 ferocious Ironshell Crabs, sold for a total of 95 Spirit Stones, completely fulfilling his mission.

Li Quanqing then bought more fish bait and several bottles of the family-developed Joyful Pill specific for Spirit Fish, very effective.

After finishing his purchases, without delay, he headed straight for the Li Family's Scripture Pavilion.

He went to the miscellaneous section, quickly browsing through the Jade Scrolls, trying to find a few related to the Longevity Turtle's breeding insights.

"Longevity Turtle and Tian Gui the True Ascendant: The Untold Stories," "Turtle Destiny Record," "Postnatal Experience Examination of Turtle Demon Beasts," "Complete Atlas of Eastern Sea Turtle Demons"...

Li Quanqing searched through all turtle-related breeding insights, finding only two.

"Longevity Turtle and Tian Gui the True Ascendant: The Untold Stories" narrates the story of Golden Core Great Cultivator "Tian Gui the True Ascendant" who grew up with a Longevity Turtle, overcoming numerous difficulties and ultimately both achieving Golden Core in an inspiring tale.

Li Quanqing skimmed through it, finding some parts downright absurd.

For example, Tian Gui the True Ascendant provoked powerful enemies several times, had to restart his cultivation, and specifically hid in the mortal realm to evade calamities, ultimately establishing his foundation at the ripe age of one hundred and twenty.

It's hard to tell if this person truly existed or if it's just a fictional tale.

"Turtle Destiny Record" is much more formal, detailing 404 families and cultivators who have raised Longevity Turtles.

Among them, one achieved Golden Core, 44 achieved Foundation Establishment, and the rest remained at the Qi Refinement Realm.

Some died of old age, releasing their Spirit Turtles before their deaths, others hadn't even fully developed their Longevity Turtles before their families got annihilated by enemies, leading to tragic deaths.

Li Quanqing clicked his tongue, flipping to the section about the Golden Core Realm Longevity Turtle and indeed saw a familiar name.

Tian Gui the True Ascendant.

"Could there really be such a Golden Core powerhouse? Establishing foundation at one hundred and twenty, that's just preposterous!"

Li Quanqing shook his head, flipping through "Postnatal Experience Examination" and "Eastern Sea Turtle Demon Atlas" among other books, finally starting to get a clue.

"Longevity Turtle, descendant of Xuanwu, born with a long lifespan of ten thousand years. Yin and Yang combined, movement and stillness generate life, with the dual Qi of water and earth creating creatures..."

Translated into layman's terms, the hatching place needs to simultaneously satisfy both water and earth environments.

At the intense midday sun, it should be buried in the soil to absorb the Earth's Yin Qi; during the cold night, it should float on the water surface, absorbing the clear spirit of the sun and moon, Dawn Yang Qi.

Ultimately achieving Yin within Yang and Yang within Yin, naturally, it will hatch.

Li Quanqing thought about it, this is just like the beach during the rise and fall of the tides.

The environment has both water and soil, the rising tide brings the sea water up, floating on the water surface, and when the tide recedes, it buries into the mud.

"No wonder it's the Longevity Turtle, hatching from its shell is painstakingly difficult."

"If it hadn't been for the Human Clan selling themselves for glory, it probably would have been wiped out by other Demon Beasts long ago!"

Li Quanqing stored away these few Jade Scrolls, thought for a moment, and then started to wander around the Magic Technique Area.

With the family competition approaching, he felt it was better to be safe, learning a few more spells.
