Chapter 414: Avoiding the Limelight

"Family Head Li, please stay."

"Respectfully sending off Master Liang!"

As the sun set, the blessing ship raised its sails, riding the shimmering broken gold, drifting further away on the water.

On the bank.

Li Xiaoheng bowed low, with several Li family members following on either side.

It was unknown how much time had passed when one Li family member quietly raised his head and reminded him: "Family Head, Master Liang has already gone far."

Li Xiaoheng remained unmoved. Only after another dozen breaths did he stand up straight.

The river breeze blew gently, lifting his robes.

Gazing at the black dot on the Great Lake, Li Xiaoheng's thoughts drifted far away.

After spending a few days together, he had experienced the young man's unique vitality and integrity, and for a moment, he felt much younger himself.

Looking at the young descendants of the clan on either side, he felt a bitter taste.

"If you all had even three-tenths of the talent and three-tenths of the character of the Liang Water Official, I could burn high incense for our ancestors."

The few young people looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

A Wolf Smoke realm expert not even twenty years old, who has befriended a white ape underwater and serves as a Water Commandant in the River Patrol, has also received an imperial decree from the Son of Heaven, repeatedly performed meritorious service, and gained great fame.

The most talented ones in the clan were only at the Galloping Horse stage at twenty; how could they compare?

However, the few descendants could only grumble inwardly, not daring to speak the words aloud.

The sails billowed, parting the waves.

Otter-Otter-Open gave orders in an orderly manner, dispatching the other five crew members to maintain the operation of the blessing ship.

The huge shadow of the main sail was projected onto Liang Qu. While enjoying the pleasant river breeze, he toyed with the only complete supreme-grade blood gemstone.

The dazzling red light fluctuated incessantly, reflecting on the deck in a captivating way.

Li Xiaoheng had not wanted any of the blood stones or medium-grade ore.

He even didn't know what means he had used to keep the largest of the three blood stones, only handing over the two smaller ones.

It was only because the news Liang Qu gave the Li family was worth far more than a blood stone!

According to Fist, when mining, those three blood stones were all gathered not far apart and would move slowly, moving half a foot in a quarter of an hour—a quite fast speed. If it weren't for its crab pincers being strong and digging fast, the blood stones would definitely have escaped!

Since blood stones really could move, any abandoned vein could have three left behind.

Then the vast majority of exhausted mine veins would also have many supreme-grade blood stones remaining!

The blood stones dug out before were mostly accidental!

How could Li Xiaoheng not be happy?

An exhausted vein was no longer an exhausted vein; one only needed to find the correct mining method to turn waste into treasure!

"Supreme-grade ore will still disappear one day, but it is enough to support the Li family through the pain of transformation."

Liang Qu gripped the supreme-grade blood gemstone into his left hand, and the blood stone arm guard firmly absorbed the gemstone, slowly absorbing the essence within.

One mountain cannot hold two tigers.

Between supreme-grade blood stone equipment, due to different spirits, attributes often clash, and one person can usually only wear one piece. However, the same piece of equipment can digest and absorb multiple supreme-grade blood stones!

It was quite similar to Fubo absorbing the Red Fire Bird's golden feathers, turning them into its own spirit.

A weapon infused with a supreme-grade blood gemstone could increase a Wolf Smoke master's power by one-tenth when facing an enemy; two stones would reach one and a half tenths, and three stones would infinitely approach two tenths!

Going up to four or five stones, the cost-effectiveness would begin to drop significantly, gradually becoming not worth the loss.

The trip to Xiangyi had been very profitable.

He had money, essence, and equipment.

After a long while.

The supreme-grade blood stone was a circle smaller.

Liang Qu looked around, and seeing that the distance was sufficient, he took off the blood gemstone and stuck it to his waist and abdomen.

The Dragon Spirit Gauze automatically derived a pocket of the same size, wrapping the blood gemstone.

Otter-Otter-Open had a tacit understanding, lowering the sails and dropping the anchor to moor the blessing ship.

He had to wait for the Dragon People and the others.

In the last two days, the Dragon People brothers had run off to communicate with Dragon People friends near Xiangyi County, someone called Long Zijian.

They had agreed to meet before dark.

Besides this, Liang Qu also had to go underwater to handle two things.

Construct a vortex channel and confirm if the Flood Dragon was anxious.

These were all major matters.

Having had the malicious warning last time.

Liang Qu prepared himself mentally, took several deep breaths, and jumped into the water from the bow of the ship.

Splash.

Hiss!

In an instant, an electric current surged through Liang Qu's entire body, his muscles tightened, his hair stood on end, and his vision blurred several times.

The surging malice was like ten thousand silver needles piercing his hundred and eight thousand pores.

The entire Great Lake seemed to be targeting one person; there was nowhere in heaven or on earth that wasn't terrifying, making him dizzy.

Even though Liang Qu was prepared, he almost choked on a mouthful of river water.

It was anxious!

It was truly anxious!

Liang Qu pressed his brain, calmed his mood, and endured the vast malice like needle pricks.

Compared to the faint malice surging in the water last time, this time the killing intent was already so strong that it was like sitting on pins and needles, affecting his actions!

The sense of security from being in the water was gone.

Once is a coincidence; twice is inevitable.

With the news of his subordinates' deaths transmitted back, and the Flood Dragon confirming it, the White Ape's exposure was probably only a matter of time!

The Flood Dragon dared not come near the shore, but it had a large number of subordinates.

He needed to return as soon as possible!

Stimulated by a strong sense of crisis, Liang Qu dared not delay. He sat cross-legged underwater, closed his eyes, and built the vortex channel.

Night fell.

The entire Great Lake was shrouded in darkness, and surrounding the terrifying malice, a few more gloomy feelings were added.

Liang Qu was initially disturbed by the killing intent and could not concentrate, but as time passed, his furrowed brows gradually smoothed out.

It wasn't that he couldn't adapt.

Liang Qu even discovered that under the confrontation with the Flood Dragon's malice, his spirit seemed to have gained a very subtle growth, adding a bit of resilience?

"An illusion?"

While distracted, the water flow in front of Liang Qu finally reacted.

His physical strength dropped off a cliff, and an undercurrent appeared silently in the water.

Spanning dozens of miles, the channel construction that could last for several days without maintenance was completed!

Sand and stones were rolled into the tunnel.

Liang Qu came back to his senses from the Flood Dragon's killing intent. With a thought, the channel entrance closed, and the flying sand and soil fell.

The vortex channel was very special. Apart from the entrance and exit, there would be no abnormalities in the middle, and when not in use, the entrance and exit could be concealed to prevent enemies from following the current, with all control in his own hands.

With this channel, Fist could freely enter and exit the north and south of Pingyang at any time!

"If you want to be rich, build roads first. If Fist works hard, why worry about not having supreme-grade blood stones?"

Liang Qu's mood eased slightly.

Just at this moment.

The Dragon People brothers, Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe, arrived.

The two did not know Liang Qu was constructing a channel and thought Liang Qu had specially gone underwater to wait for them, feeling moved for a moment.

"Master *2"

Liang Qu nodded: "Hurry up and get on the ship. We've been out for quite a while; it's time to return to Pingyang Prefecture."

"Good!"

Watching the Dragon People brothers board the ship, Liang Qu's thoughts drifted.

He had turned into a White Ape, but he hadn't expected the Dragon People brothers to still not abandon him. Were Dragon People all so stubborn?

Beside the blessing ship.

The fat catfish, who was searching for treasure fish and racing against time to try and secure some extra food for itself, saw the Dragon Man's back, scratched its head with its whiskers, and felt like it had forgotten something.

Next, every once in a while, Liang Qu would get off the ship.

One was to endure the Flood Dragon's killing intent to see if it really helped grow spiritual resilience.

The second was to construct the channel, like connecting water pipes, building a long channel that ran through the north and south of Pingyang Prefecture.

Five days passed like this.

Liang Qu endured the Flood Dragon's killing intent, and the channel he had constructed countless times was completely connected, becoming a north-south express line with several entrances and exits!

"It's done!"

Joy surged into his heart, and Liang Qu suddenly felt the Flood Dragon's killing intent weaken a bit more.

Although with the continuous channel, the physical strength required to maintain the north-south express line increased significantly, and he almost had to drain his physical strength once every four to five days, it was still not enough.

However, the reward was worth it!

From now on, as long as the channel maintenance was not broken, Liang Qu could go anywhere in the north-south direction of the entire Pingyang Prefecture!

Swallowing a Yuan-Increasing Pill, Liang Qu jumped onto the bow of the ship and gazed at the riverbank Kui Pavilion in the lights, a sense of security welling up.

He was back!

At the same time.

Several large snakes rushed to the vicinity of Xiangyi County overnight, flicking their long tongues, searching for the aura of their colleagues.

Their winding, massive bodies flowed over the mud and sand, leaving behind strips of gullies, crisscrossing, not daring to have the slightest slack.

Long Zijian landed on the riverbed, lowered his head to stare at the fresh indentations that had no beginning or end, and fell into deep thought.

"What's the situation? Is the Flood Dragon going to hold a Xiangyi Elegant Gathering?"

Long Zihe borrowed the moonlight to count the crisscrossing snake paths, his brows furrowed.

"There are at least four snake demons and six snake monsters. Is it too dangerous for us to stay in Xiangyi County?"

The two were only at the Wolf Smoke stage; their strength was certainly not bad, but in front of so many snake monsters, it was not enough to look at.

Especially with snake monsters and snake demons gathering, there was clearly something going on.

"I always feel that Long Pinghe was hiding something from us last time."

"Why don't we go to Pingyang County too, to avoid the limelight?"
