Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 95: Refining the Source Qi Bloodline Talent, Gathering the Divine Incense Authority

[Realm: Refining Qi into Spirit]

The newly added Heaven and Earth Source Qi to the Daoist realm immediately turned into cool gas after entering the body, and quickly merged with the original demonic energy in the body.
Soon, the demonic energy after the fusion was completed trembled, and from the originally hundreds of scattered demonic energy, it suddenly condensed into a strand.
This wisp of demonic energy, about the thickness of a chopstick, roamed throughout Liu Qing's body like a snake patrolling a river.

When refining essence into qi, the demonic energy appears as threads, and when refining qi into spirit, the demonic energy condenses into strands. These are the more intuitive characteristics of these two realms.

Refining the essence into Qi, when hundreds of strands of demonic energy are condensed into one strand, you can then refine the Qi and return to the spirit. If you continue to refine the demonic energy, making hundreds of strands of demonic energy gather into a cloud, then you can refine the spirit and return to the void.

Since becoming a demon, Liu Qing has gained a certain understanding of the common sense on the road of cultivation.

When one reaches the state of refining qi into spirit, the transformation that is more intuitive than the transformation of demonic energy from silk to strands is the transformation into a human body.
Liu Qing thought about it, silently recalling his appearance as a human, and drove the demonic energy in his body to below his waist and abdomen.
The evil spirit was driven to penetrate the muscles and bones, and the bones made a series of sounds, splitting and growing rapidly, or twisting and changing shape.
Subsequently, the fascia, muscles, blood, and snake scales attached to the bones also changed accordingly, changing into the human form that Liu Qing had in mind.

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain, and the part below the waist and abdomen changed rapidly from the inside out. In the permeation of black evil spirit, the original snake shape of the lower body slowly transformed into the abdomen, buttocks, legs and feet of a human.

Every time the realm of Taoism is improved, there will be pain when a new body part is transformed for the first time, but the pain will dissipate as the number of transformations increases.

Now, Liu Qing can already transform into hands, feet, limbs and torso, with only the horned boa's head remaining.

Liu Qing slowly stood up. His new legs were still quite tender. He had usually walked with his tail like a snake, so when he tried to walk with his feet, he staggered like a baby who had just learned to walk.

However, as I walk more and more, I become more familiar with using my feet, and my walking posture has become like that of humans.

The snake scales on the body were transformed into a set of blue shirts by Liu Qing's demonic energy. When worn, it gave off a rather otherworldly aura.
It’s a pity that above the neck is a horned boa constrictor’s head, which is a bit unsightly.

Liu Qing just tried it out for a bit, then he dissipated the illusion and returned to his snake form. Firstly, the new illusion body was unstable and consumed a lot of demonic energy.
Secondly, now that we are in the Water Palace, everyone is in their original form to facilitate underwater living. If you transform into a human form, you will be very conspicuous.

Even though this water jade was only of the highest grade and contained the least amount of Heaven and Earth Source Qi, it still provided Liu Qing with 855 points of Heaven and Earth Source Qi.

250 points were used to improve the realm of Taoism, and there were 605 points of Heaven and Earth Source Qi left. Liu Qing originally wanted to add all of it to the realm of Taoism,

But considering that they would have to go to Jinghe River to participate in the river sacrifice in a few days, they would have to compete with other big monsters in the water palace for incense, and fighting would be inevitable.

Therefore, Liu Qing turned his attention to the bloodline talents and magical powers.

【血脉天赋：1吞象（小成）；2尾鞭（小成）；3厚甲（大成）；4口囊（小成）；5沸血（小成）；6獠剑（入门）】

[Mystical Powers: Water Control (Minor Success); Water Puppet (Beginner); Fragrance Sending (Beginner); Hercules (Minor Success)]

This time when we go to Jinghe River to participate in the river sacrifice, there will definitely be a lot of fighting, so naturally we should focus on increasing the growth of talents and magical powers that can enhance defense and attack.

Liu Qing thought about it and first consumed 81 points of Heaven and Earth Source Qi to increase the growth of the tail whip talent to the great level.
Next is the Boiling Blood talent, which also consumes 81 points of Heaven and Earth Source Qi to reach the Great Perfection level. [Explanation 1: The talent Tail Whip allows you to transform your snake's tail into a whip to attack enemies. After reaching the Great Perfection level, a single whip can split rock and break metal.]

[Explanation 2: Boiling Blood Talent. This talent originates from the Winged Fire Serpent. The blood is like magma, boiling endlessly. After reaching the Great Perfection level, the boiling blood method can increase combat power by 30% within one stick of incense. However, after the effect expires, the body will quickly weaken.]

Liu Qing's eyelids twitched. The innate tail whip was fine, but after it was fully developed, the attack power increased to the level of splitting rocks and breaking metal. This was expected.
But after his talent of boiling blood was fully developed, Liu Qing was somewhat surprised.

By using the method of boiling blood, the combat effectiveness can be instantly increased by 30%. Although it will become weak afterwards, it can turn the tide of battle and decide life or death at a critical moment.
This is another reserved trump card!

Liu Qing exhaled slowly, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and then upgraded his water control ability from the minor level to the major level.

[Explanation 3: The Water Controlling Ability originates from divine authority. Upon reaching the Great Mastery level, one can manipulate the river water to transform into water chains, water knives, water arrows, water shields, and more, doubling its power.]

Liu Qing had an idea and walked out of the side hall, came to the outside of the Water Palace Hall and tried it.

After the water control ability was activated, nine water chains suddenly appeared on the ground. Each water chain was nine feet long. If only one water chain was controlled, the length of the water chain could reach a hundred feet.

At the same time, Liu Qing controlled the lake water to transform into water arrows, water knives, water shields, etc., all of which were densely packed. The number of them he controlled at the same time was so large that one person could fight against thousands of soldiers. It was indeed the best means of attacking the Qing soldiers in groups.

Afterwards, Liu Qing first consumed 9 points of Heaven and Earth Source Qi to upgrade the magical water puppet to the minor success level, and then consumed another 81 points to upgrade it all the way to the major success level.

[Explanation 4: The magical water puppet originates from the divine power. After its growth reaches the Great Perfection stage, each water puppet only requires 5% of the divine power to condense, and the maximum control distance can reach 10 miles.]

At the entry level, 10% of the authority and divinity is required to condense a water puppet clone. After the minor success, only 5% is required. Liu Qing has 20% of the authority and divinity, and can condense four water puppet clones at the same time.

But the biggest change is that after the growth has reached the peak, the maximum control distance of each water puppet clone has doubled to 10 miles.
After it is fully developed, this water puppet magical power is a perfect choice for scouts, exploring the way, luring the enemy, and observing the enemy situation around. There is no one more suitable than the water puppet magical power.

Afterwards, Liu Qing improved his ability of sending fragrance from the entry level to the advanced level.

[Explanation 5: The incense-sending divine power originates from the divine nature of incense. After reaching full maturity, the attributes of the incense-sending divine power increase significantly, and it also has a corrosive effect. It can replace the missing soul of a living being while slowly devouring the original soul of the living being.]

Liu Qing's eyes flashed. After the magical power of sending fragrance was perfected, it became more and more darker, from the previous "attachment" to the current "erosion".
Like a vine that climbs on a tree, it evolves into a parasitic Gynostemma pentaphyllum, eventually taking over the nest and completely replacing the original owner.

Perhaps, Li Xuanba will soon become Liu Xuanba.

Finally, the innate fang sword and the magical warrior, which Liu Qing values ​​the most and also keeps as his trump card, are naturally upgraded from the entry level to the mastery level.
