Chapter 1197: Status Fruit Anomaly, Reverse Contract (Ask for Monthly Tickets, Combined)

~17 min read 3,329 words

"Promotion, who is being promoted?"

"You!"

"What about me?"

"About to be promoted!"

"Promotion, who is being promoted?"

"You."

"What about me?"

"You... Pa!"

Wu Cangshou slapped its forehead with a claw, swallowed a mouthful of phlegm, and ended this meaningless circular exchange.

A stingy, penny-pinching toad, stupid, just saying it wasn't smart.

Lying in the white sand, the Old Toad didn't move like a rough sandy stone, its whole body gray and defeated. Instead, the nervous-looking Big Fatty and Second Fatty realized it first. Their frog eyes shone brightly, hugging the frog legs, happily rolling for two and a half weeks, their bellies colliding in the air, swinging and landing.

"Elder, you are not reaching your limit, you are about to be promoted to a Great Demon! A Multi-Treasure Great Demon!"

"Gua!"

Frog Mobile Corps Commander and other frogs retracted their steel forks and large anchors, widening their frog eyes.

"Elder is about to be promoted?"

"Not reaching the limit?"

Just as a demon beast, the Elder was so strong. This became a Great Demon, more powerful than any previous transformation. Wouldn't it take the frog clan to the sky, eating fragrant and spicy treasure fish every day?

Frog sounds continued, melodious until summer.

"Wa!"

One fish suppressed a hundred frogs, one cry suppressed a hundred sounds.

The black fatty charged left and right, once again rushing to the front, raising its double fins high.

All frog heads leaned over, blocking the sunlight, only the Old Toad squatted on the ground, blinking its frog eyes, confused, muddled.

"Turtle General, what exactly is going on?" The shadow cast, the Frog King squatted on the ground, hurriedly asking, "If it's a promotion, why would the Elder have a premonition that its life is about to end? Can this also be wrong?"

Wu Cangshou paddled the water, swimming over leisurely.

"As the saying goes, 'The authorities are skilled, but blinded by the desire to win; the bystanders are clumsy, but clear in their empty and public view.' Multi-Treasure Toads of this kind, born in the Huai River, originally had no precedent for becoming demon beasts, let alone changing from a demon to a Great Demon. Back then, heaven sent down lightning, and Frog Elder was saved by the Dragon Lord to survive."

"Now it is about to be promoted to a Great Demon, the form and danger faced are more exaggerated than back then, naturally heaven and earth cannot tolerate it, having a disaster of destruction. I don't know how long Frog Elder can live, perhaps today is indeed the end, overlapping with this disaster of destruction..."

The Frog King rubbed its claws and webs uneasily.

"Truly life ending?"

Wu Cangshou raised its claws: "Frog Great King, don't panic. This old man also watched for a whole night before barely seeing some clues. In Frog Elder's deathly silence, there is still a thread of good fortune. If it were purely life ending, no one or demon in the world could save it, so this thread of good fortune shouldn't appear."

"What is good fortune? When life ends, getting ten thousand strings of wealth, a fairy from heaven marrying down, how can it be called good fortune? This is having no fortune to enjoy, having the heart but no power. Therefore, there must be a chance of survival, life-extending treasures are useless, naturally it is not a heavenly material or earthly treasure, then it can only be that Frog Elder itself has creation, breaking the realm and extending life."

"Elder!"

The Frog King held up the Old Toad, big eyes staring at big eyes.

Shook it.

"Pa!"

The snot bubble burst, smearing its face. The Old Toad woke up, stood up from the Frog King's claws and webs, folded its belly, looked around: "Is this Elder really about to be promoted?"

"Hmph." Wu Cangshou snorted through its nostrils, "Not completely confused."

"But this Elder is weak all over, can't catch my breath, sweating coldly on my back." The Old Toad leaned its back against the Frog King's frog toes, panting heavily, its belly rising and falling.

"Panic, scared."

"My skin has no color and is wrinkled, and I can't see with my eyes." The Old Toad grabbed the loose skin on its belly, hanging down like a bag.

"Don't you frog clans shed skin when you grow? Isn't it gray before shedding?"

"But, my heart, it hurts so much, how to explain this..."

The Old Toad clutched its chest, swaying, *gaba*, fell into the Frog King's palm, four feet facing the sky.

"Heartache..." Wu Cangshou rubbed its chin, looked around, looked at the Elder's cave, "Did you think you were about to die and distributed your family property as an inheritance."

A long time.

"Roar! Yeah!"

*Shua! Shua! Shua! *

With a flash of inspiration, the Old Toad sprang up from the Frog King's palm, rotated two and a half times in the air, landed on one knee, stood on its toes, performed a set of frog punches, puffed out its chest, like a shriveled pig bladder filled with air. Its sharp gaze pierced through the gray frog eyes, looking from one frog face to another, its spirit swallowing mountains and rivers.

Big Fatty and Second Fatty subconsciously put their double webs on their backs, lowering their heads.

"Take it easy, your body is very bad, be careful of adding frost to snow." Wu Cangshou poured a basin of cold water, "And don't be happy too early, there is good fortune, but it is so small, whether you can grasp it is another matter. Otherwise, you wouldn't think your limit was approaching, the two are originally the same thing, if not handled well, you might really die."

"Pa!"

The inflated pig bladder burst.

The Old Toad fell to the ground, fell into the web palm again, stuck its butt out, listless.

A doctor cannot treat himself. Clearly, the current Elder couldn't find that thread of life in the dark. The Frog King had to place its hope on the Fortune Mysterious Turtle, who was also an exotic species: "Then how can we grasp that thread of life? Turtle General, rest assured, my frog clan will definitely have a generous reward."

"Frog Great King, put down Frog Elder, I need to take a good look..."

"Please look."

Wu Cangshou circled around the Old Toad that had turned into a stone.

White sand left claw marks.

The situation had changed.

The Elder might live for another five hundred years.

Big Fatty gave Second Fatty a look, Second Fatty gave the fat catfish a look, the fat catfish gave Frog Big Treasure...

The big frogs surrounding the Old Toad gradually dispersed, lined up and left quietly, holding treasure fish and treasure plants to find a large pit outside to bury them well.

"No! If we do this, the Elder will definitely find out!" Big Fatty woke up halfway through burying.

Second Fatty's eyes narrowed, fished out a treasure fish: "Can only hide it in the belly first! Ah~"

Lime fell down, scattered into the pond, floating a layer of dirty ash.

"What? Made a mistake? Frog Elder is not reaching the limit, but about to be promoted?"

Liang Qu gripped the copybook in his hand, his right index finger stained with ash, looking at the square tombstone already engraved with an epitaph, silent for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Long Eying walked out of the room.

"An accident happened, Frog Elder still has a chance, it might be about to rise to a Great Demon." Liang Qu put on his coat, rubbed the lime off his index finger, "I have to go back again."

"Frog Elder promoted?" Long Eying covered her mouth.

As a Dragon Lady, she had been influenced since childhood, and also dealt with the frog clan a lot, knowing the Old Toad's power.

Hunting Tiger to Perfected Form, Demon to Great Demon, two indescribable transformations. The Multi-Treasure Toad that became a demon was already so against heaven, becoming a Great Demon, wouldn't it be able to radiate the entire Great Marsh?

A turn for the better.

Liang Qu jumped into the pond, rushing to the frog clan territory at high speed.

The shadow of the Heaven-Reaching Lotus swayed, sunlight floated, Wu Cangshou circled the Old Toad, closed its eyes and paced, turtle claws carving unknown formations on the ground, muttering and throwing copper coins, seemingly chaotic, but actually landing clearly in every corner of the formation.

The Old Toad stared at the copper coins, secretly gripping one, wanting to swallow it into its mouth to hide.

"Swallow it, swallow it, divination is useless, can't find the chance of survival, who can you blame if you die?" Wu Cangshou didn't even open its eyes.

The Old Toad's face squeezed into a ball, it seemed the square-hole copper coin on its claws and webs had strong magnetism, struggling repeatedly, putting it back in place, burying its frog head under its frog arms, curling into a ball.

Liang Qu took the opportunity to ask: "Grandpa Shou, what exactly is going on?"

Wu Cangshou explained again.

"Then where is the chance of survival?"

"I don't know either, just saw a thread of good fortune entangled. Regardless of whether it is promotion or not, grasp it first. Setting up the formation just strengthens my innate perception ability. Speaking of which..." Wu Cangshou looked at the Old Toad, then at Liang Qu, "After you came, the good fortune seems to have grown a bit?"

The Frog King leaned its head over.

Liang Qu looked up and pointed at himself: "Me?"

"Don't know if it's an illusion, and, in the last year since you and White Ape entered the Dragon Palace, the treasure fish and treasure plants in the Great Marsh have increased. Little Toad and I have gone out many times more, perhaps this promotion also has something to do with it?" Wu Cangshou scratched its head, "Forget it, I'll know what's going on after I finish setting it up."

"How many days?"

"Won't be too long, three to five days, should be able to get it done before the New Year, dragging it out might really lead to death first."

Liang Qu thought for a moment: "Grandpa Shou, how do exotic species of the Great Marsh like you cultivate? Is eating treasure fish and treasure plants useful?"

"Useless, if it were useful, wouldn't we be the number one power in the world? How to cultivate specifically, all have fate, I don't quite understand either. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is definitely useful, like Cloud Xiandao, can feel a bit of improvement."

"The rest, constantly seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster? Constantly collecting treasures can make me physically and mentally happy. Back then, when I met Su Guishan, I felt my whole body stretch. The first two hundred years were still spirit monsters, after knowing each other, quickly went from spirit monster to great spirit monster, now also became a demon, in just a few decades."

"Constantly seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster..."

After watching for a while, Liang Qu was not at ease, found a stone to sit down and wait.

The Multi-Treasure Toad when it was a demon could calculate the Flood Dragon, until a few years ago, the Flood Dragon became blurry.

What is the scene of promotion to a Great Demon?

If Great Spirit Monster to Demon is Mature Period to Complete Body, then Demon to Great Demon is simply jumping from Complete Body to Ultimate Body. Wouldn't Status Fruit and Whale Emperor also be able to seek good fortune and avoid disaster?

Bubbles floated up faintly.

The water in the Great Marsh in winter was cold, but the Frog King spread the fur of the Red Fire Bird beside it, which instead had a bit of warmth.

The Mysterious Turtle drew the formation, Liang Qu had nothing to do, simply sat cross-legged in meditation, practicing "Sitting in the Temple" on one hand, and splitting part of his consciousness on the other, manipulating the Pai Pai Xiao Xing body, approaching the River God Sect.

Heaven Fire Sect.

Fei Taiyu and Wu Lingxu played chess, the blood stream winding through the rockery.

Wu Lingxu suddenly asked: "How long has Elder Yu been in Shoyu Pavilion?"

"One year and one month."

"How long in seclusion?"

"Eleven months."

"Eleven months in seclusion without going out, quite able to sit still, quite persistent. It is not in the numerology, can it cultivate?"

Fei Taiyu shook his head: "We don't know what realm it was in its lifetime, even if it comes out of seclusion, we can't distinguish it. It's just that without a Status Fruit, even if it cultivates to the thirteenth level, it is useless."

"Indeed, then hope its realm is higher, otherwise it can neither be a River God nor fill the gap in the Dragon King Cave." Wu Lingxu held a chess piece and dropped it, "Find an excuse during the New Year, say that as a new elder, come to Heaven Fire Sect to celebrate the festival, can receive an extra year of salary blood treasure, see if it comes out of seclusion, what the situation is now."

"Good idea."

Inside the Blood River.

Sound of breaking water.

"Damn it, finally swam here!"

Two slender wrist feet swayed, Pai Pai Xiao Xing climbed onto the river bank, looked at the towering River God Sect, turned over to the ground, panting heavily.

Heaven and earth are boundless, inside and outside jointly glowing with tides.

Inside the Dragon Court Xiandao, flowing light constantly converged, intending to build a human-shaped phantom, but it never succeeded, not even a preliminary outline could be built.

One person, one level, twelve people, thirteen levels.

"Sitting in the Temple" was not as easy as imagined, but the growth of the root sea was gratifying.

Thirty-seven and a half!

Compared to the thirty-five on the May itinerary, in eight months, it grew another two and a half times!

Among them, there were a few months of wanton singing, not focusing on cultivation, otherwise it might have broken three.

Clearly, the Water Ape Great Sage Ze Spirit, perfectly fused, still had a not-so-small "potential difference" and "water level difference" with Liang Qu's own first-level Wu Sheng, using the River Lord Emperor channel to let the high water level constantly flow into the low water level, reaching ten times the cultivation speed of ordinary demon dragons.

However, the threshold for "Thousand Seas Boundless Dharma" to self-nurture Status Fruit was still indefinitely distant.

At this rate, it would take at least two hundred and fifty years to fill one thousand, and during this period, it could not exceed Wu Sheng level three...

"Need to raise the River Lord's favor, should be able to be faster, a wisp of red energy, four mysterious yellow cards..."

Liang Qu calculated the number of long breaths on hand.

Inside the Ze Tripod, the long-quiet Ba Fruit, the red gold small gourd suddenly rippled, setting off essence ripples, stirring red energy.

Status Fruit anomaly!

Just one ripple, the red gold small gourd had no movement again, as if it were an illusion.

Shaking for no reason, what's going on?

Before he could figure out the situation, the other spiritual link suddenly jumped.

A-Wei lurking in the Southern Border!

"After the New Year, the Saintess prepares to conclude a blood contract? Refine you into a life-bound Gu?" Liang Qu pondered, "Can't drag it out anymore?"

A-Wei turned a circle, looking at Li Xianghan who was sleeping soundly.

Can't drag it out anymore, the feeding cost is too high, and feedback is not obtained for a long time. If dragged out, the Saintess will be impatient.

Request to return to the team!

"No, the opportunity is rare, returning to the team will expose you, just let her try, see if she can contract you."

A-Wei was shocked, busy expressing loyalty.

"Don't panic."

Consciousness jumped, Liang Qu directly crossed hundreds of thousands of miles, descending onto A-Wei.

【Spirit Descent】!

【Spirit Descent: Manifest spiritual body, descend onto the governed beast, observe four directions, listen to eight sides】.

A-Wei lost the initiative of body control, slightly panicked, but after hearing the explanation and understanding what was going on, it was immediately happy and encouraged, its sense of security greatly increased.

All sounds were silent.

Small rain outside the window hit the windowsill, crackling.

Wu Sheng descended into the small room, the Saintess of Green Pattern Valley didn't know at all.

Liang Qu circled his body, opened and closed his mouthparts. This was his second time seeing the Saintess Li Xianghan, hugging a silk quilt, white thighs exposed, saliva hanging from the corner of her mouth.

"Gulu-lu~"

Looked up.

Three fat mice on top of the cabinet pushed the glass jar, two of them left and right, one back pushing one pressing to unscrew the lid, stealing the maltose inside. The leading one saw A-Wei, immediately raised its claws and made a "shh," kicked the butts of the two yellow mice next to it, and threw a solid piece of maltose to Liang Qu.

Liang Qu held the sugar, looked at it, opened his mouth, bit it, and swallowed it.

Quite sweet.

Seeing "A-Wei" accepted the hush money and became an accomplice, the fat mice breathed a sigh of relief, two claws throwing crumbs, left and right, filling their cheeks, continuing to steal.

*Xisuo xisuo*, small sounds continued.

Li Xianghan rubbed her eyes.

The three mice stopped moving, standing upright.

Li Xianghan turned over and continued to sleep.

*Xixisuosuo*, the sound rang again.

"Interesting, Long Yao, Long Li should like to raise two..."

Liang Qu moved his brand-new body, found the feeling, opened his wings, flew onto the bookshelf, found a book "Complete Collection of Life-Bound Gu Refining."

Learn first, understand the principle and function of life-bound Gu.

"No need to run, wait until the day of the blood contract, I will descend onto you, try to see if I can reverse contract her."

A-Wei: "?"

Not to mention whether Li Xianghan can bypass the governance of the Ze Tripod and contract Liang Qu, this Wu Sheng.

Who said humans must contract insects?

"Ka-cha ka-cha."

The mice filled their cheek pouches, thirsty from eating, grabbed the lid, covered it, and pushed the glass bottle straight again.

"Hu, mission accomplished!"

Hearing the words, Liang Qu opened his eyes.

Wu Cangshou wiped its sweat, observing its masterpiece.

The divination formation was extremely complex, with copper coins, treasure fish, coral... various exotic treasures in different corners and positions.

The big frogs of the frog clan gathered in the hall, Liang Qu and the Frog King ranked on both sides, watching Wu Cangshou close its eyes, dancing like a god, waving water algae with its claws, muttering and circling the Old Toad.

Liang Qu was very suspicious of whether this thing was really effective.

Back then, the Old Toad used a Mysterious Turtle, took six copper coins, and stuck feathers on its head, which was completely random calculation.

Rather than saying it had the use of divination, it was better to say it was purely to increase the sense of ritual, strengthen one's own belief, similar to hypnosis, indirectly enhancing the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid disaster.

A full half hour.

"Da, wa-ya-ya!"

Wu Cangshou jumped up suddenly, turtle back landing, four claws paddling in the same direction, rotating at high speed, setting off a hurricane.

*Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! *

Flying sand and moving stones, yellow dust covering the sun.

Frog Mobile Corps Commander raised its webs to cover its eyes: "Such strong water flow! Gua!"

Rotated for a full quarter of an hour, the water tornado twisted, a large pit appeared, finally, Wu Cangshou slowly stopped, swaying, swaying, its head pointing straight at Liang Qu.

Wu Cangshou opened its eyes suddenly, staring straight at Liang Qu.
