Chapter 228 First Hearing of the Water Demon's Bloodline

"Is it related to the Breath of Earth?"

Yi Sa looked at Zhou Nanbei with a puzzled expression.

See here,

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly: "That's right, the characteristics of the Breath of Earth are..."

Self-reproduction,

It can be continuously expanded in scale.

He paused, then added, "And yet, all these years, this has never been leaked to the outside world."

Then there's only one possibility.

That is, it is imprisoned within by a special power, and the Breath Soil has never leaked out.

Based on this speculation,

The so-called water demon, or the reason why your sister and the others got into trouble, could all be due to a mysterious power born from the magic soil.

As soon as he finished speaking,

Yi Sa and Ding Yudie looked at each other, and after a long while, they finally calmed down.

Yi Sa then said, "In that case,

Is the water demon a manifestation of the power of the Breath of Earth?

Or perhaps the birth of the water demon is related to the magic soil?

Zhou Nanbei shrugged: "That's just a possibility."

Is it true or not?

We'll have to wait until we get there to find out.

Then he turned and asked:

When do you plan to set off?

Yi Sa glanced at Zong Hang before asking, "When do we set off?"

That depends on him.

"When did you become proficient in the water demon's techniques?"

Zhou Nanbei glanced at Zong Hang,

Zong Hang immediately raised his hand: "Young Master Zhou, don't worry."

I am sure

Learn it as quickly as possible.

See here,

Zhou Nanbei chuckled softly, "Then good luck."

…………

Three days later,

Zhou Nanbei sat by the river enjoying the view, with Yi Sa beside him.

Yi Sa drank her wine.

Looking at the water flow that Zong Hang used his River-Turning Palm technique to strike the surface of the water in the distance,

A hint of envy flashed in his eyes: "He's truly blessed with natural talent."

He was shot.

This is how it became a water demon that can breathe underwater.

Zhou Nanbei glanced at Yi Sa and said:

"envious?"

Yi Sa nodded slightly: "How could I not be envious?"

You need to know,

This is the ability to live underwater indefinitely, as long as you can withstand it.

Zhou Nanbei extended his hand:

Give me your hand, let me take a look.

Yi Sa casually put her hand over.

He seemed indifferent, but a hint of anticipation flickered in his eyes.

But before they could wait long,

Zhou Nanbei suddenly threw her into the water.

Before she could say more,

Zhou Nanbei's voice then rang out: "Dive into the water,"

let me see,

How do water demons breathe in water?

Aside from being held by Zhou Nanbei's hand, Yi Sa

He sank completely into the water.

Zhou Nanbei also used his spatial powers at the opportune moment.

Let's observe.

Fifteen minutes later, Zhou Nanbei suddenly pulled Yi Sa out of the water.

Looking at Yi Sa's expectant eyes,

He began, "The water demon breathes through the surface of its skin."

Or, to put it another way, let your pores breathe.

The deeper reason that truly allows you to breathe through your pores is that beneath your skin,

That thin, bluish mucus.

Your body isn't covered by mucous membranes, which is the fundamental reason why you can't breathe underwater indefinitely.

He then looked at the two people in the distance and said, "And those two..."

The entire body has mucous membranes.

And it's a full centimeter thick.

Yi Sa stood up.

He asked expectantly, "So, all it takes is increasing the blue mucous membrane..."

"So it can become a real water demon?"

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly and then shook his head: "Yes and no."

What really needs to be increased,

It's the concentration of slug blood in your body; that concentration is the key factor determining the condition of that mucous membrane.

"Mewdog bloodline?"

Zhou Nanbei sat down and chuckled softly: "Not bad, water demon bloodline."

What's wrong?

You haven't heard of it?

Yi Sa nodded slightly: "I haven't heard of it."

We've always called them water demons.

The ones that can stay underwater indefinitely are from the three families.

A real water demon.

Zhou Nanbei shook his head slightly: "You guys really are..."

Lucky and ignorant.

Yi Sa asked with some curiosity, "Young Master Zhou,

What do you mean by that?

Zhou Nanbei looked at the distant river and explained softly, "Do you remember the New Moon Hotel?"

Was I calling out to a member of the Zhang family?

Yi Sa nodded slightly: "Of course I remember those."

Zhou Nanbei nodded and continued, "Their full names,

It should be called the Zhang Family of Qilin.

Because they possess the bloodline of the Qilin, a lineage with a long history, and the Qilin bloodline they carry...

Not only can it ward off evil spirits,

Suppressing evil spirits

Most importantly, even those outside the Zhang family who haven't entered the cultivation realm have at least a lifespan of...

From 150 years ago onwards

And this only includes family members from outside the family; what about those whose bloodline concentration is not as high as yours?

The foundation is also at the level of Gang Jin cultivation.

Not to mention members of the Zhang family like Ding Yudie, whose bloodline concentration is high.

He paused, then continued, "Many years ago, a family set its sights on the Zhang family..."

During times of war

Countless forces have set their sights on the Zhang family, and aside from other secrets,

What they most want to study is...

It is the Qilin bloodline within the Zhang family that has allowed it to be passed down for thousands of years or even longer.

A perfectly good extended family,

This led to its destruction; at its lowest point, the population was less than a thousand.

Now,

Even if things recover, the main family and maternal family combined will only number two thousand.

One can imagine that

Is there any danger involved?

Yi Sa breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "That's alright."

Our three families,

They never claimed to have any water demon bloodline, always believing it was due to their ancestral amulet.

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly:

"Yes, that's why I said you're lucky and ignorant."

This water goblin bloodline,

While it cannot compare to top-tier bloodlines like the Qilin bloodline, it is still a rare and valuable bloodline.

Remember not to expose yourself.

Otherwise, the other two major families besides yours would likely suffer a devastating blow.

Yi Sa nodded slightly.

At this moment, Ding Yudie led Zong Hang ashore.

Zong Hang,

You're so stupid.

Zong Hang was naturally unconvinced: "How could I learn it in such a short time?"

That's good enough.

Can you please stop being so picky?

Ding Yudie nodded in agreement.

There isn't just anyone in this world.

"That's just how talented I am."

He clapped his hands and said, "Alright, now I'll teach you."

The techniques of the Water Demon lineage,

Listen carefully.

Zong Hang nodded slightly, and Ding Yudie then spoke:

"We are of the same lineage as the water demons."

Unlike other martial arts, this one requires refining the vital energy in the water.

Part of it strengthens the physical body,

A portion of it is absorbed into the dantian. Initially, it's not as good as a master of traditional Chinese martial arts, but the further one progresses...

The greater our advantage, the stronger we become.

He paused for a moment and then said, "Next, listen to the incantation."

The waters of the three rivers nurture the dantian.

Vital energy flows through acupoints throughout the body.

…………

Fifteen minutes later, after Ding Yudie had finished speaking,

Zhou Nanbei then spoke: "You..."

This technique is quite interesting.

Ding Yudie chuckled lightly: "Right, our cultivation technique..."

It's much better than traditional Chinese martial arts.

It has a bit of a cultivation/immortal-cultivation feel to it, doesn't it?

Zhou Nanbei rolled his eyes at Ding Yudie, then said:
