Chapter 474: Dream Butterfly

Three wisps of long Qi intertwined and flowed.

The Water Ze Essence collided with the Ding walls, splashing fluorescent blue light.

A full 60,000!

Except for the brief peak storage of 70,000 after eating the snake gall, there had never been a second storage peak exceeding the current one!

In the past, Liang Qu would have been excited beyond control.

But now.

"Not enough..."

Liang Qu sighed.

During the Four Gates period, suddenly obtaining over a hundred points of Water Ze Essence was enough to celebrate.

A few thousand during the Galloping Horse period was also commendable.

But he was now a Wolf Smoke martial artist, with a group of Great Demons under his command, about to enter the ranks of mid-level officials, frequently commanding hundreds of soldiers, dozens of Galloping Horse martial artists, and several Wolf Smoke experts, without needing to ask for instructions from superiors.

He could be called majestic.

Even if he wasn't top-tier in Pingyang Prefecture, in any other place, even in the previously disaster-stricken Huazhu County which had over a dozen Wolf Smoke experts, he could still use flanking tactics to push through.

If he had this official position, ability, and manpower last year, Huazhu County Magistrate Yu Dayi would never have dared to shift the blame to his face.

If he dared to speak loudly, it would be his loss.

Yet the first evolution of the water beasts under his command only required 80 points of essence.

The second was 1,500, the third was 8,000, appearing with evolution branches, the fourth evolution was 18,000, evolution branches reappeared, leaping to the mid-stage of Great Demon, which was mid-stage Wolf Smoke.

By the fifth time, it required a full 25,000!

60,000 essence.

Little.

Too little.

According to the law of level transition, it wouldn't jump to the category of water demons; it should evolve to the peak of Great Demon.

60,000 Water Ze Essence was barely enough to evolve two water beasts under his command.

Not to mention the Ze Ling fusion degree; this true gold-swallowing beast hadn't awakened yet.

Splash!

The turtles attempting to stack into a four-layer pagoda slipped, and all three on top fell into the water, creating a ripple.

The old toad sleeping on the round stone stopped snoring, subconsciously stretching its claws to scratch its round belly.

Muttering twice, it continued to snore.

Liang Qu laughed.

Looking up at the cold moon, his heart, irritable from the summer heat, gradually calmed down.

"I'm being ungrateful."

A Great Martial Artist was already the number one combat power below a Grandmaster.

In the Jianghuai Great Marsh, the Southern Frog and Northern Fish clans fought for the blessings of the vision, and dozens of water demons fought to the death, squeezing out their brains.

In such a big scene, there was still no sign of a Great Demon.

It was evident.

Five evolutions, with a total of just over 50,000 Water Ze Essence, could allow an ordinary big fish to leap to the peak of Great Demon.

The cost-effectiveness was unheard of.

Ordinary martial artists relying on taking corresponding treasure plants could never evolve from a commoner to the same level!

It belonged to the double welfare Liang Qu ate, and more!

Water Ze Essence evolution must belong to a promotion channel with extremely high absorption efficiency!

"Hoo!"

A hot breath was exhaled.

Liang Qu digested the abundant medicinal power brought by the treasure fish and treasure plants, and his strength became more refined.

His mind moved.

In a corner of the pond, the big white fat worm rolling and struggling dived into the water, stretching and shrinking as it swam to Liang Qu's side.

Mirage Worm!

After two evolutions, the Mirage Worm needed 8,000 essence for the third time, which Liang Qu hadn't been willing to give.

After all, it was enough.

The Mirage Worm, like Red Mountain, belonged to functional water beasts.

One specialized in spitting mist to practice martial arts, the other in traveling fast, unable to go underwater to create income.

Under sufficient circumstances, continuously investing essence to evolve would only cause diminishing marginal effects.

Especially since the Mirage Worm grew alone without evolving, it had almost no martial power performance, making people feel uneasy.

But observing the vision and giving birth to a spiritual image really brought Liang Qu an unexpected surprise.

Outsiders were shocked that he gave birth to a spiritual image, praising it, which made Guan Congjian unable to help but submit a challenge letter.

Little did they know Liang Qu himself was just as puzzled.

He clearly didn't have any insights, yet he gave birth to a spiritual image!

Such grotesqueness, combined with the familiar pavilion vision on the Xiandao.

Even though the Mirage Worm itself didn't know anything, Liang Qu still felt it had greater potential that hadn't been tapped!

Communicating with the Inside Ze Ding.

【Can consume 7,112 points of Water Ze Essence to make the Mirage Worm grow.】

The Mirage Worm ate few treasure fish scraps, mostly eaten by the fat catfish and other main forces, resulting in little reduction, barely a thousand.

Without hesitation, over 7,000 Water Ze Essence was suddenly invested.

Adding charcoal to the furnace, burning fiercely, forging refined steel!

Golden light surged, wrapping around the fat worm.

"No essence light?"

Liang Qu knew the Mirage Worm was special, but didn't expect it to be so special; was it missing, or was the node different?

After a long time.

The thick light cocoon shattered.

For the third evolution, the Mirage Worm became leaner and longer.

It was no longer the appearance of a fat vegetable-white worm, but slightly "vigorous."

The white jade shell on its head spread to one-third of its position, flashing with flowing light, its whole body surrounded by a dreamlike aura.

Asking the Mirage Worm.

No special abilities appeared, only the quality of the white mist was better.

Pondering for a moment.

【Can consume 18,000 points of Water Ze Essence to make the Mirage Worm grow.】

The third evolution was a special node, still unable to make the Mirage Worm evolve.

Liang Qu felt a toothache.

Glancing at the over 50,000 Water Ze Essence remaining in the Inside Ze Ding.

Continue charging!

Invest again!

Gamble, turn a donkey into a racehorse!

18,000 points of Water Ze Essence disappeared from the Ding, and the fluorescent blue water level dropped sharply.

Three rays of essence light slowly rose from the Ding.

It's here!

Liang Qu was overjoyed; the Mirage Worm's evolution essence light appeared, actually a node late!

Fortunately, it wasn't missing.

Consciousness touched it.

【Mirror Flower, Water Moon】

【A Dream of a Thousand Years】

【Dream Butterfly】

"【Mirror Flower, Water Moon】, increase the reality of the dream, life and death are one."

"【A Dream of a Thousand Years】, increase the immersion of the dream, decay and perish?"

Liang Qu didn't understand at first glance.

Looking closely, he found there was a difference.

【Mirror Flower, Water Moon】 was to strengthen the reality of the vision, leading to death in the dream, which would also wither in reality, the difference being that the external body showed no wounds.

Simply understood as brain death, the demise at the level of consciousness.

In other words, if the Mirage Worm didn't control the concentration of the white mist, in the future, when Liang Qu fought and practiced in dreams with others, if someone cut off his head, he might truly sleep forever.

But martial arts feedback would inevitably be closer to the real world; the closer to reality, the stronger the time-difference practice effect would undoubtedly be, the fast lane in the fast lane.

A double-edged sword.

"Not much use..."

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

If there's no danger on the small path, he can walk it as a shortcut.

If there's danger.

Forget it.

It's not like there's no big road to walk.

What Liang Qu lacked least was time; holding the Heavenly Water Morning Dew, he could evolve the Water Travel Thousand Miles at any time.

He couldn't attack, but he could retreat and defend.

No human or demon could catch him.

Plus the super-long life brought by fusing Ze Ling...

Relatively, 【A Dream of a Thousand Years】 was to increase the "pulling force" of the dream.

Like increasing the dose of "sleeping pills," making people unable to wake up normally, leading to the gradual decay and death of the external body.

This was easy to understand, a vegetable, if not intubated, must wait for death.

Both essentially led to death due to the dream, but the root cause was different.

All were powerful talents, alternative dream poisons, which could sit at a table with A-Wei.

But still not the answer Liang Qu was looking for.

Consciousness touched the third essence light.

【Dream Butterfly】

【The butterfly dreams of me, I dream of the butterfly, sink into the dream, or can briefly lead to the Mirage Clan ancestral land, Cloud Hut Xiandao, to receive spiritual machine baptism.】

The essence light was brilliant, its color cyan-gold.

In an instant.

Liang Qu's whole body relaxed, and he bent his spine.

25,000 essence.

Found it! ===== CHAPTER 475 =====
