From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 69: Disarmament
The Jade Book is also called the Water Palace Jade Book. It is made from water clam shells and is a common writing instrument in the Water Palace. After all, pens, ink, paper and inkstone cannot be used in water.

After all, the shrimp and clam spirits in Xiyu Fudi were born in the Xiaoqinglongtan Water Palace, so many of their living habits have been preserved and passed down.

It can be seen that many times, some subtle and imperceptible details can be traced back to their origins, just like the taste of childhood that is unforgettable for a lifetime.

Yu Shuyang read the jade book in detail. It not only contained the method of the strongman holding the flag, but also the general principles of the strongman's Taoism.

It turns out that the Hercules Method is the Hercules Star Method in the sky. The giant spirit god of Shinto and the yellow turban Hercules of Xiandao also practice according to this general outline.

The Dragon Palace and Water Palace love to train soldiers, so they combined the methods of the strongmen with the tactics of war to train the famous shrimp soldiers and crab generals, who are best at forming water army formations to fight the enemy.

At the end of the Jade Book, there is also a method to assemble a small army formation. Five strong shrimp soldiers form a squad and can gather their strength on the squad leader.

This method of the strongman cultivates the Huangting in the middle dantian, and walks the path of a physical strongman. Qi and blood deficiency will naturally affect the practice, not to mention that the previous martial arts practice consumed Qi and blood, and the physical foundation was completely destroyed.

He entered the general principles of the Hercules Star Method, the Hercules Flag-Lifting Method, and even Moji's own destiny and the Qi and blood methods of practicing martial arts into the Black Tortoise Book.

He took out the wedding candlestick to connect with Xu and Shi, borrowed the power of the two star gods, and tried his best to deduce and calculate, trying to find a way out for Lao Moji.

It can be said that Yu Shuyang's magic power was fully activated at this time. The black tortoise shell separated into upper and lower parts, and the dorsal and ventral shells rotated like millstones, with several skills sandwiched in the middle like beans.

The three elements, heavenly stems, and twenty-four climates are carried on the carapace like a celestial wheel.

The plastron carries the five elements, eight trigrams, and twelve Earthly Branches like a plate of earth's fortune.

Obviously, the abacus skills that Yu Shuyang mastered were not enough to support the full opening of the Xuanwu Turtle Book. Only Dou Shu and Tai Yi could be competent.

Mathematical calculation is about solving problems. The simplest and most convenient way is to solve the problem in one step and get to the core of the problem.

Since I don't have the easy-to-use mathematical skills, I can only use the brute force method to calculate every possibility and then compare them to find the best result.

The exhaustive method tests the calculator's foundation. It is like having a cake and asking you how many times you can cut it into pieces. Since it is a comparative choice, the more options the better.

Yu Shuyang cut sixteen times and got sixty-four results. Most of them were dead ends and would not work. Only five were feasible. After eliminating the option of converting to Shintoism, there was only one option left.

Fortunately, one was left. Deduction and calculation are not like making a wish. Many times, there will be no result. After all, the person calculating is changing his fate against the will of heaven.

The exhaustive method often comes as a flash of inspiration, and he needs to record the method as soon as possible to avoid forgetting it later.

Dissolve the cinnabar ink with water and spread it on a whole piece of green vine paper, which is the blessing paper used to write green poems during sacrifices, and write down the shrimp soldier molting method.

The core of the Shrimp Soldier Technique is that the shrimp shell is like armor. Most of the effort in practicing is spent on refining the shrimp shell. This is also the reason why Lao Moji and Xia Changgeng both have shrimp-white shells.

However, they all practiced martial arts qi and blood techniques first, but were then drained of qi and blood by the Taoist military techniques to supply the military masters, causing qi and blood deficiency and damaging the foundation of their physical bodies. They then switched to practicing the shrimp soldier method, and naturally could not cultivate the shrimp shell armor.

The solution Yu Shuyang found was to shed the shell, and only this method could make shrimp shell armor.

Uncle Mo’s problem is not that his cultivation realm is stuck and he can’t break through, but that he can’t break through to the eighth level from the ninth level of Dharma.

This is a typical example of "no destruction, no construction". The shrimp shell armor that seems to be the result of spiritual practice has become a constraint that restricts oneself.

This is often the case. What limits you is often what you rely on. As the saying goes, there is no greater obstacle than knowledge and understanding.

Of course, molting is a daunting task for shrimp spirits. Shrimp spirits that have become demons no longer molt easily. After all, each molt is like a newborn, and they enter a period of weakness. To practice the Shrimp Soldier Molting Technique, one must awaken the shrimp spirit's instinct to shed its shell. Old Moji, however, is suffering from a deficiency of Qi and Blood, and needs to use tonics to replenish his energy.

Just as he was thinking about how to nourish himself, he saw Yu Fu carrying large and small bags, as if he was going to the farmer's market to buy goods. Doesn't he have a magic bag with him to carry them?

"Come and have a look, I have bought all the spiritual tea seeds." Father Yu threw the bundles on the ground and collapsed on the chair.

Yu Shuyang went forward and opened it. He saw that they were all black-skinned tea tree seeds, some of which had been dried. He didn't know whether they were still alive.

"I went to three or four tea houses to find this. They are all Yunmengze Water Mist Tea. You can try brewing it today.

I've already bought the sawdust, and I've had the hardware guys deliver it to the fields. How's the wasteland treatment going? Do you still need my help?"

Yu's father's casual questioning seemed to be a matter of concern, but in fact he was secretly observing his son. The transformation of abandoned farmland was his first time to do something outside.

"There's nothing major going on in the wasteland right now, just a few small things, like watering the fields with spiritual energy, I'll just keep an eye on it for the next few days.

"The key now is Uncle Mo's cultivation. You should find a way to help him find the elixir that has been shelled and help him break through to the ninth level of cultivation." Yu Shuyang took out the green vine paper.

He had no idea about the tonic, so he asked Yu's father to help him think about it. The method had already been deduced, so the problem was half solved.

Yu Fu took the green vine paper and saw that it was written in the spiritual language of the water tribe. The writing format was not the ordinary recording style, but the divination style.

After reading it quickly, I roughly understood that this was a spell for shrimp soldiers to shed their shells and change their armor. The purpose was also very obvious, which was to increase the shrimp soldiers' physical strength.

"Where did this come from?" Yu's father habitually asked the source.

"This is what I figured out, don't worry. The only problem now is how to get Uncle Mo to start molting again. After all, the shrimp soldiers have stopped molting." Yu Shuyang explained.

"Shell-molting medicine, this is very simple. There is a secret medicine on the hardware counter. The shrimp soldiers will shed their armor before they die. They use this to refine fish scale armor." Father Yu casually said a cruel fact.

Yu Shuyang was shocked by the news. The weapons and armor refined by the hardware platform were actually the shrimp shell armor left by the shrimp soldiers. Does this count as squeezing out the last bit of value from the shrimp soldiers? It's too ugly.

"What's that expression on your face? Is it hard to accept? Monsters are the best spiritual materials. What's wrong with them giving back to their family before dying?

When my life comes to an end, I will return to the South Fish Pond to give back to my family. Different demon tribes have different ways of returning to their ancestral lands, but the purpose is the same."

Father Yu told his son very seriously that the demons did not need tombs after death, most of them were buried in heaven, using their own flesh and blood to nourish the clan's spirit.

Yu Shuyang couldn't accept it for a while. In his subconscious, there was no concept of death, including for Yu's father and Yu's mother.

"You're so depressed, old man. When did you become so negative? You're already a seventh-rank fish demon. In a few years, work hard to reach the sixth or fifth rank.

At least a few thousand years to live, you tell me this."

Yu Shuyang picked up the lotus seeds on the ground and soaked them, too lazy to worry about these things.
