Chapter 124 Danqing Silver Wolf Wen Chang [Please Subscribe!]

It was already afternoon when we returned to Qinghe Lake.

Chen Qing walked to Dan Yu's side, took out the old jade slip and the yellowed "True Explanation of Alchemy" from his storage bag, and handed them over.

"Niwa, look what this is."

Dan Yu turned his head, his black bean eyes falling on the jade slip. He glanced at it casually at first, and then the entire crane froze:

"This—this is the inheritance of a second-tier alchemist?!"

Chen Qing smiled and nodded.

Dan Yu picked up the book and, unusually, moved closer to Chen Qing, gently nuzzling his cheek with her long neck, conveying a joyful thought: "Chen Qing—thank you."

Chen Qing was slightly taken aback.

I've known Dan Yu for ten years, and this aloof and arrogant guy rarely takes the initiative to get close to me like this.

Normally, let alone rubbing against it, even touching its feathers would be met with disdain for a long time.

Chen Qing smiled and gently patted Dan Yu's wings: "Alright, alright, stop with the nonsense. Focus on honing your alchemy skills. From now on, Qing Tian, ​​Yin Yue, and I will be counting on you for our pills. I won't eat anything that you didn't refine."

Upon hearing this, a hint of arrogance flashed in Dan Yu's black bean eyes. She raised her slender neck and let out a clear cry, her mind filled with certainty: "Just you wait and see."

After saying that, she walked to her Purple Bamboo Alchemy Furnace, gently placed the jade slip and book on the stone platform beside her, and suddenly a blue light flashed beside her, and a slender figure appeared out of thin air beside her.

It was a small red-crowned crane, about four feet tall, with snow-white feathers and a touch of crimson on its head.

It was Danyu who created the legion unit "Danqing" using his essence.

When Qingtian created "Wenchang", Danyu complained, saying, "A monkey is a monkey, and what you create is also a monkey." But then he secretly used 200 points of essence to create Danqing.

Chen Qing found it amusing at the time, but didn't say anything.

Danqing initially possessed the combat strength of the fourth level of Qi Refining. After five years of cultivation, he had reached the peak of the middle grade of the first rank, which is the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining. His personality was exactly the same as Danyu's—aloof, reserved, and not fond of talking to people.

Only in front of Dan Yu and Chen Qing would he show a somewhat docile demeanor.

At this moment, Dan Yu glanced at Dan Qing, pushed the jade slip over, and gave a few instructions in his mind.

Danqing nodded, and the two cranes stood side by side in front of the alchemy furnace, studying it with their heads down. Every now and then, they would spit out a white flame to adjust the furnace fire, working together quite tacitly.

Chen Qing withdrew his gaze and looked at the other side of the bamboo building.

Silver Moon was lying on a blue stone by the lake, and in front of her, a Silver Moon Wolf, smaller than herself, was circling around her.

Silver Wolf.

Silver Moon was only a Tier 1 Low-grade character at the time, and only spent a little over a hundred essences to create this alt account Silver Moon, which possessed 80% of her combat power.

Since then, Silver Moon has been like a little sister to her, cultivating with Silver Wolf every day and breathing in and out moonlight together.

Chen Qing smiled and looked towards the chicken coop.

There, "Wenchang" was squatting at the entrance of the chicken coop, holding a crumpled book in his two little paws, engrossed in reading it;

Behind it was a mountain of Spirit Sheep Chicken droppings, and in front of it, several haughty Spirit Sheep Chickens stood on the fence looking down at it, like a few generals inspecting their territory.

Even from a distance, Chen Qing could smell a strong odor of chicken manure.

"————Qingtian".

Chen Qing spoke expressionlessly.

Qingtian peeked out from around the corner of the bamboo house, still holding the copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his hands, his monkey face full of innocence: "What's wrong?"

"Could you find Wenchang a different job? He's practically grown out of chicken manure."

Qingtian scratched his head, glanced at Wen Chang in the distance, then at Chen Qing, and shook his head righteously: "No way! How can one sweep the world if one can't even sweep one's own room? Wen Chang can't even sweep chicken manure properly, how will he lead the three armies in the future?"

Chen Qing's lips twitched. He really wanted to say, "It's just a monkey, what kind of army does it command?" But after thinking about it, he held back.

This monkey is beyond saving.

Chen Qing shook his head, ignoring all of this, turned around and went up to the second floor of the bamboo building. He sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes, and immersed his consciousness into the beast-taming space.

This space is vastly different from when it opened five years ago.

The biggest change is that it now has a bit of life.

Over the years, Chen Qing has transplanted many plant creatures into the lake and sown many seeds. In addition, he connects the passage of the Beast Taming Space to Qinghe Lake every day. The passage looks a bit like a crack in the secret realm, but it is smaller and less conspicuous. It is just a blue slit that floats quietly above Qinghe Lake.

It opens daily to absorb the spiritual energy overflowing from Qinghe Lake.

Five years later, although the Beast Taming Space is large, the spiritual energy is still not much, but it is still much better than when there was no spiritual energy at all.

As Chen Qing's consciousness swept across the landscape, he saw verdant mountains, with three towering peaks shrouded in mist.

On the plain below the peak, a green lake shimmers in the sunlight, with lush aquatic plants and elegant three-aperture jade lotus flowers standing tall.

The most eye-catching creatures were the more than one hundred blue carp in the lake, which shimmered with a faint blue light; among them, more than ten were particularly large, reaching five feet in length, and their spiritual light was even more intense—they were mid-grade first-rank breeding fish.

"Ten years."

Chen Qing looked at the group of swimming blue carp and felt a slight pang of sadness.

From Beast Taming Peak to Half Moon Lake, and then to Lotus Lake, for a full ten years, through generations of selection, hybridization, special bloodline feeding, and environmental induction, these ten first-tier mid-grade breeding fish were finally cultivated.

It's worth mentioning that the other fish Chen Qing used for hybridizing carp came from the Su family, one of the two major Foundation Establishment families in Qingzhou.

This is the family that Su Wanwan, the youngest senior sister of Chen Qing, belonged to when he was at Beast Taming Peak.

The Su family also cultivated and raised blue carp for the Lingyun Sect's dining hall; although the blue carp were originally cultivated by the predecessors of the Beast Taming Peak, they did not continue to breed and improve them later.

The Su family has been raising carp for nearly two hundred years.

After learning that Chen Qing was also breeding carp, Su Wanwan sent him many different varieties of carp.

Chen Qing had also considered that if the goal was simply to obtain a fish-like spirit beast containing the bloodline of the Kunpeng, it wasn't necessarily necessary to focus solely on the blue carp.

However, blue carp occupies an important position in the Lingyun Sect's dining hall. The Lingyun Sect has established a large number of related industries in the five kingdoms under its jurisdiction, among which blue carp is a relatively well-known industry.

Not only are blue carp a well-known spiritual food in various "Lingyun Towers", but they are also made into a kind of pill that concentrates the essence of blood and qi, and has a large market in the cultivation world.

For Chen Qing, cultivating blue carp could produce essence and earn spirit stones.

Therefore, he took the opportunity to breed blue carp to see if he could cultivate individuals with special bloodlines.

The same applies to the Lingyang chicken.

Nearly a hundred spirit sheep chickens were scattered across the plain, among which more than ten had aura fluctuations that reached the middle grade of the first rank, with brighter feathers and fuller bodies.

Unfortunately—

Chen Qing's consciousness swept across the school of blue carp repeatedly. The light screen in front of him flickered countless times, but the bloodline column remained consistently "ordinary".

None of them contained any special bloodline.

Chen Qing sighed. He was now at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and the system showed that he could contract a fourth spirit beast.

But after looking around at the spirit beast cubs on Beast Taming Peak, he felt they weren't quite a good fit; Qingtian was a front-line warrior, Danyu was an aerial damage dealer, and Yinyue was a swift assassin—but none of them were strong enough to serve as a powerful core.

Unless all three awaken their true spiritual bloodline!

Five years ago, when Chen Qing emerged from the Spirit Abyss Secret Realm, he had a total of 4339 essence points.

Later, after meeting Qi Xuan, Chen Qing invested another thousand points in Dan Yu, bringing his total to "3339" points of essence.

After arriving at Qinghe Lake, for five years, I have consistently harvested three thousand blue carp and one thousand spirit sheep chickens each year, which together yields seven thousand essence points annually.

After deducting the 300 essences transferred to Qingtian, the 500 essences to Danyu and Yinyue, and the 900 essences consumed by Yinyue in breaking through to the middle rank of the first level, Chen Qing's mind stirred, and a light screen appeared before his eyes:

[Highlights: 36139]

"Over 30,000 essence points, but I'm more than 10,000 points short of activating the Xuanhuang Ancient Ape bloodline. I can't wait; I'll have to see if there are any suitable spirit beasts in the secret realm first."

"Or perhaps it's time to switch our sources of inspiration."

Chen Qing pondered in his heart.

He needs a core.

A core that can oversee the entire situation, coordinate the three beasts, and bring the entire beast formation to life.

The soaring Kunpeng in Wang Bu Huo's novel is the perfect choice; but such a true spirit is rare and hard to come by; the most realistic option right now is to try one's luck in the secret realm.

First, prepare the two spiritual plants needed for Foundation Establishment; second, accumulate contribution points to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills; third, see if you can encounter a suitable spiritual beast to use as the core; fourth, actively "harvest" essence to improve the attributes of Qingtian, Danyu, and Yinyue in various aspects.

Chen Qing took out a handful of spirit stones from his storage bag at his waist, which amounted to at least a thousand, and casually tossed them into the lake.

The spirit stone was placed in the water and sank to the bottom of the lake. Its spiritual energy slowly diffused and merged into the lake water.

"If only I could possess a top-grade spirit stone."

Chen Qing watched this scene and secretly made a plan in his mind.

The most special of the top-grade spirit stones are those that can absorb the spiritual energy that is free in the world, and can also generate spiritual energy on their own, giving birth to an entire mineral vein.

If you can get your hands on one, just throw it into your beast taming space and the spiritual energy problem will be solved.

Unfortunately, top-grade spirit stones are extremely rare, usually only found in super-large spirit mines; for example, the fourth-order giant mine under the jurisdiction of the Lingyun Sect must contain at least one top-grade spirit stone.

But Chen Qing had never even seen a high-grade spirit stone, let alone a top-grade one.

"Let's figure out a solution after we've established our foundation."

Chen Qing shook his head, silently keeping the matter in mind, and withdrew his consciousness from the Beast Taming Space.
