From waterfowl, it began to transform into the Great Sun Golden Crow.

Time flies, the sun and the moon flies.

Nearly half a year has passed. Gu Heting, with dry grass in his mouth, built a small bird's nest on Senior Jingli's back.

Gu Heting reached down to the base of the little bird's webbed claws and found a ring there.

These days, it has become quite familiar with the swallowing river fish. It even built a grass nest on its back these past few days. Gu Heting stretched out his bird's foot and patted the little nest.

It soon lay prostrate on top of the bird's nest.

"You rude brat, you've built a nest of grass on me! This Shenzhou Island has such beautiful scenery, why don't you build your nest somewhere else?"

Gu Heting lazily nuzzled against the bird's nest, humming a few words: "Outside are snakes, insects, rats, and strange beasts lurking all around. What can my Qi Refining stage cultivation do?"

Gu Heting was utterly bored.

He had somehow produced a rattle drum. He fiddled with it from time to time. The rattle drum's sound startled Jing Li.

"Where did you get that rattle drum?"

"I took it from the ring. I thought it was some kind of magical artifact from a celestial sect, but it turned out to be just a rattle drum. It's just an ordinary mortal item, and it's quite old. It must have been around for a few years."

This isn't just a few years old, this thing must be hundreds of years old!

It's highly likely that Danxiu sold the child to the child when the child was born.

He must have left in such a hurry that he didn't have time to see him off, so he kept him by his side as a keepsake.

The cultivator has now been buried by the two. Deep in the jungle of Shenzhou Island, a solitary tomb stands. Gu Heting even carved the five characters "Tomb of Lü Pingyang" with a bird's beak.

"How's your water manipulation technique coming along?"

The water control technique that Jing Li mentioned is the most basic part of water-based arts. Those with a water elemental root are extremely close to water. By mobilizing their spiritual power, they can make the river water float in the air.

However, he still cannot turn the river and sea upside down.

He could only create a few bubbles out of thin air.

Nowadays, he only uses this method to take a bath.

"I know a little bit of the basics. I can't control water flow backwards to the point where water can wear away stone."

Gu Heting stood up. He slightly raised his bird wings, and several wisps of water in the lake flowed upstream. Beneath his wings, a water sphere of moderate size formed.

"go."

The water sphere shot forward, creating a shockwave on the stubborn rock.

Seeing this, the river-swallowing fish kept shaking its head.

"Water manipulation techniques are still too monotonous. Little one, you've been a bit lax these past few days." Swallowing River Fish had been teaching him for almost three months. He had already demonstrated the Water Dragon Technique five times.

But this thing just kept making little noises.

He would occasionally utter a phrase like "Wow, that's amazing!" His attitude towards cultivating immortality was truly like playing a game.

"Old Fish, when do you think those immortals will arrive?"

In the past few days, his relationship with Jing Li has become quite familiar. Now he talks about Old Fish all the time.

Swallowing River Fish was naturally unwilling, so it replied, "Call me Senior Whale Li."

"Okay, Old Fish."

Jing Li snorted, really wanting to throw the little bird into the water. He looked at the colorful clouds on the horizon, his brows furrowing: "When the restrictions here show signs of collapsing, someone will force their way into the forbidden area. At that time, a group of immortals should arrive on swords."

"Isn't it cool to come riding a sword?"

Gu Heting always had such a unique way of thinking. His speech wasn't exactly incoherent, but the questions he asked always took Tunjiangyu by surprise.

"What? Immortals standing on swords simply hold their swords. You can do that too once you reach the Core Formation stage."

"But I can fly, I don't need to use a sword."

Tunjiangyu was too lazy to banter with him. So she inquired about Gu Heting's recent preference for practicing fire-based techniques over water-based ones.

"Cultivation is not easy. You didn't learn the Water Reversal Technique, but instead chose to learn the Fire Serpent Technique."

Speaking of the Fire Serpent Technique, Gu Heting remembered it. In recent days, he had frequently used the Azure Cauldron to brew medicinal herbs. He had actually achieved some great results.

Gu Heting silently recited the mantra in his mind.

A blue cauldron appeared before them in the light. Taking a closer sniff, Jing Li found it strange. It didn't contain any medicinal herbs, but rather a cauldron of pure white wine.

The aroma of the wine is irresistible; it must have been brewing for quite some time.

"You utterly despicable brat! You used the immortal cultivation cauldron to brew wine. What a waste! What a waste!"

Inside the azure cauldron used for cultivating immortality, the clear and turbid strong liquor swayed continuously.

This was originally the product of Gu Heting's failed experiment. Having no knowledge of alchemy, he haphazardly threw in some spiritual fruits and herbs.

Unexpectedly, after sitting for a week or two, alcohol appeared.

"Would you like a taste, old fish?"

"Why would I taste these? You...you...oh well, give me a bite." That's what he said, but his body language betrayed him.

The River Swallowing Fish once drank wine with his master.

A cup of wine can dispel a thousand sorrows, a sip and all worries are forgotten. So be it if it's wasted. At least those medicinal herbs didn't become dregs and ashes in the alchemy furnace, but rather this cauldron of turbid wine.

The river-swallowing fish opened its enormous mouth and sucked in a whole jug of strong liquor, pouring it into its belly.

That's intense, incredibly intense.

The fruit wine hadn't been properly cleaned, and the entire barrel of spirit was filled with a pungent, harsh taste. This kid's brewing skills aren't very good either. After drinking a barrel, I was surprised to find a pungent, bitter aftertaste.

It tastes absolutely awful.

This cannot compare to the wine his master drinks in the marketplace.

"What kind of rubbish is this? It has no fruity sweetness, and it has a pungent herbal smell. Besides being harsh on the throat, what is this stuff? Kid, do you even know how to brew wine?"

Gu Heting didn't blame the old fish at all, and swallowed it whole in one gulp.

They complained that the wine he brewed tasted bad.

Looking across the entire Dongting Lake region, who else can brew wine besides Gu Heting?

Although the wine was brewed unintentionally, Gu Heting felt a pang of heartache looking at the remaining wine in the cauldron. This wine would need at least a month to fully develop.

What a pity.

With the idea of ​​not wasting any wine, Gu Heting downed the rest of the wine in one gulp. After a few rounds of drinks, both of them were slightly tipsy.

Gu Heting lay on the back of the River Swallowing Fish, but noticed a slight tremor: "Old Fish, you can't hold your liquor."

"What do you mean you can't hold your liquor? Little brat, this paradise is ruined! You're lying on the ground with a sore throat!"

Gu Heting abruptly stood up from the Swallowing River Fish. The once magnificent blue clouds now appeared strange. The weather in the sky kept changing.

All that could be heard was the rumble of thunder in the sky.

Swallowing River Fish felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

My life with this little guy, which had been stable for almost half a year, might be about to change starting today. Wisps of purple smoke flowed into the Watery Cave. It was miasma carrying a strong toxicity.

As dawn breaks with thunder.

A crack broke.

An old man descended from the sky. He did not ride a sword, but rather each step he took carried an overwhelming aura of power.

Three steps

The fiery dragon on Changsha Island let out a sudden roar.

The white-haired old man merely glared at him.

Immediately, the dragon's roar came to an abrupt halt.

Something's happened. A Nascent Soul expert has arrived at the Water Marsh Paradise.
