Reborn as a Snake: Many Children, Many Blessings, Only I, the Green Snake Immortal

Mountain gods and water gods, and other such spiritual practitioners, rely heavily on incense offerings.

Without the supply of incense offerings, their cultivation will begin to decline, and a sharp drop in strength is commonplace.

In more serious cases, it could lead to death or even the extinction of one's spiritual path.

The River God of Jingyue was a latecomer to the path of cultivation, so he didn't die or perish, but without the support of the temple's incense offerings, his cultivation would definitely stagnate.

If you want to continue to improve your cultivation, you have to rely on your own hard work.

Of course, this was already a huge blow to the River God of Jingyue.

The arduous practice of spiritual cultivation meant tedium and boredom, and the joyful life she once knew would soon be gone.

Thinking of this, the girl almost burst into tears.

"So, your movements might alert the State's Bureau of Ceremonies?" Xu Qing asked.

The River God of the Pure Moon nodded, looking expectantly at Xu Qing, and said, "If something goes wrong, it will definitely attract the attention of the prefecture government, and then Huang Yushu won't be able to hide it anymore!"

She was reminding Xu Qing to avoid being tortured to death later.

Xu Qing's strength was clear; he was ridiculously strong within the fifth rank, and he also possessed many exquisite techniques that he had learned from who-knows-where.

However, as one of the thirteen states of the Great Qian Dynasty, Yunzhou's prefecture power should not be underestimated, and it boasts many strong individuals.

As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands; no matter how strong you are, you can't escape death if you're surrounded.

"So, now that I've caught you, does that mean something's wrong?"

The River God of the Pure Moon shrank back and cautiously asked, "Shouldn't... it count?"

"Does that mean we can't keep you here yet?" Xu Qing asked.

"No, that's not it!" The River God of the Moonlit River quickly said, afraid that Xu Qing would get angry. "It's fine to go out for a stroll once in a while."

Xu Qing nodded.

He was determined to accept the River God of Jingyue.

Although this girl is simple-minded, timid, and not very skilled, she is quite good in terms of bloodline and ability.

And it looks quite pleasing to the eye.

According to the story from her previous life, the River Goddess of the Pure Moon was somewhat like a loli.

Quite interesting.

But the identity of the river goddess girl is a big problem.

She was essentially a special talent on temporary assignment in the state, so she was relatively valued. If she went missing, it would most likely attract the attention of the state government.

Xu Qing was well aware of his own strength; if he faced someone too strong, he was afraid he would be defeated.

While confidence is important, a degree of caution is still necessary.

Xu Qing pondered for a moment, then shook his head, suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind.

No matter what, raw rice must be cooked into cooked rice.

Just then.

"Your 3650th offspring is born, born a demon, of average talent. You are granted thirty years of cultivation!"

"Seventy demonic descendants of the host have been detected. You have gained the divine power: Earthly Fiend Technique - Formation!"

"Earthly Fiend Technique - Formation: This technique can be used to set up barriers, formations, and restrictions, and can be used to enhance the effects of barriers, formations, and restrictions!"

Accompanied by a system notification sound.

A profound Taoist chant echoed in Xu Qing's mind.

He had completely mastered the art of array formation, and a mysterious light flashed in his vertical pupils.

The newly acquired Earthly Fiend Technique was not directly taught to Xu Qing, nor were many formations or the like.

This fundamentally improves Xu Qing's understanding of formations and barriers.

Furthermore, with this Earthly Fiend Technique, the array barrier set up by Xu Qing will be much more effective than before!

Like the legendary Monkey King from a previous life, the circle he casually drew with his weapon was a kind of barrier.

The technique used was precisely the art of array formation.

Xu Qing gradually realized that although he had never practiced the art of formations before, he was able to set up formations with similar effects through his own understanding.

This is a method of arranging formations that is close to the Dao, not bound by various restrictions, and entirely dependent on the strength and cultivation of the caster.

Xu Qing's eyes lit up as he looked at the River God of the Pure Moon.

"What...what are you going to do?" The river goddess girl glanced at Bai Ling and Liu Mei, thinking that she couldn't possibly be under their noses...

Even she herself didn't expect that her subconscious was actually considering whether there were other beings present.

"Come with me."

Xu Qing has no plans to get things done for the time being.

When it comes to the art of conception, one must consider the state and mood of both parties, their physical condition, the location, the environment, and so on.

Moreover, the divine lineage and cultivation of the Jingyue River God are undeniable, and it's not something that can be easily dealt with.

It would take at least several thousand or tens of thousands of rounds of fighting to make that possible.

Having just learned the art of array formation, many ideas began to surface in his mind.

For example, setting up a spirit-gathering array in the Taihang Mountains can gather the surrounding spiritual energy.

Fortunately, there was a large number of demon beast bones in the space inside his body, which could be used as materials for setting up an array.

Although his cultivation came entirely from system rewards.

However, he possessed the art of fasting, which, when imbued with spiritual energy, offered numerous health benefits.

Besides, his wives lived in the Taihang Mountains.

Liu Mei and Bai Ling are pregnant, so the spiritual energy is more concentrated, which is beneficial to them and their unborn children.

Those female demons with weaker cultivation levels can quickly recover their damaged vital energy and gradually improve their cultivation levels.

There are also offspring raised in the Taihang Mountains, who are in their growth period, and spiritual energy can help them grow rapidly.

When the spiritual energy is concentrated to a certain degree, even those with poor aptitude have the potential to transform into demons.

Xu Qing has many formations to set up and needs some help.

Bai Ling and Liu Mei are definitely not suitable.

It's just right to ask the River God of Jingyue for help.

We'll all be family from now on, so it's perfectly normal to contribute to the family.

"My lord, we'd like to go out for a walk to clear our heads."

Seeing this, Liu Mei pulled Bai Ling and tried to make room for her.

Bai Ling's cheeks flushed slightly. She didn't speak, but the meaning in her eyes was quite clear.

They assumed Xu Qing was going to have fun with her new girlfriends, so they used the excuse of going out to relax and prevent Xu Qing from going out again.

"...What on earth are you thinking?" Xu Qing said helplessly. "Just stay here and don't upset the baby."

Bai Ling, Liu Mei, and the River God of Jingyue clearly didn't believe it.

The river god's braids trembled nervously as he followed Xu Qing step by step as they moved outwards.

Xu Qing didn't know how to explain, so he led the Jingyue River God down the mountain.

After walking about a hundred feet from the foot of the mountain, Xu Qing looked around and decided to set up a spirit-gathering array with this as the boundary.

"Right here?" The River God of the Moonlit River looked at the surrounding jungle, then at Xu Qing's massive body, and whispered, blushing, "Too close...we'll be seen!"

What's wrong with the brains of these female demons?

Xu Qing was quite helpless and turned to say, "I need you to help me set up the formation."

"An array? An array that can block vision and mask sound?"

The River God of Jingyue asked subconsciously.

"It's a spirit-gathering formation," Xu Qing said in a deep voice.

"Huh?" A hint of doubt appeared in the eyes of the River God Jingyue. "That doesn't make sense..."

Xu Qing sighed, no longer wanting to explain, and immediately began to cast the array formation technique.

In an instant.

A mysterious and inexplicable fluctuation emanated from the enormous snake's body, and a wisp of energy quickly enveloped the surrounding mountains and forests.

A moment later.

A brilliant light shone in Xu Qing's eyes. He opened his mouth and spat out a piece of white jade-like demon beast bone. Immediately, his magic power surged out and directly engraved array patterns on the bone.
