Chapter 521

The Great King Lotus leaves swayed with the water, growing along the mountains, the continuous root system half-naked and bulging, like veins growing on the hills.

The Dragon Girls swam through the green stalks, using hook knives to pick lotus roots, most of them barefoot, few wearing white boots, the sunset shining through their toes, scattering translucent orange light, when turning, the skirt gauze fluttered, like large beautiful white jellyfish.

Quiet and magnificent.

"Eying, you accompany my lord to walk around, I will go to report to the elders."

"Good."

Long Binglin swam away first.

Liang Qu took back his gaze.

"My lord, follow me."

Long Eying landed on the ground, beckoned to lead the fat catfish, and entered the small path formed by the Great King Lotus leaves.

Liang Qu sat on the catfish head, "Cannot Move" and Round Head guarded left and right.

Depth is free, all the way smooth.

The three elders of the Dragon People tribe, leaving aside the rest of the elderly Dragon People, the strong Long Binglin and Long Eying almost belonged to the second echelon in fact, possessing considerable dispatch power.

Just leading an outsider, no one dared to stop them.

Water bubbles drifted by, brushing past.

The lotus leaf green stalks were like peeled tree trunks, and the spreading lotus leaves were the tree canopy.

Passing through the "lotus leaf tree shade", Liang Qu looked at the Dragon People's houses.

Full of "exotic customs".

Nearly sixty percent of the Dragon People's houses were built with stones, and climbing vines like Boston ivy were planted at the corners of the walls to fix them.

Only a small part of the buildings used cyan wood tenon and mortise, submerged in water, not rotting, not decaying.

Although the overall appearance was almost the same as human buildings, only a few details were different, but stone houses were relatively rare on land.

Those without money used three-in-one soil, those with money used blue bricks.

Long Eying said: "I heard from the elders that in the past, the tribesmen mostly lived in caves, until the Long Gong was completed, and the overall style was built imitating human palaces.

The Dragon People began to build their own houses according to the Long Gong style, even if they were driven out of the middle court now, they still retain their former habits.

If it weren't for the fact that clear water wood is relatively rare, what my lord sees today would be rows of wooden courtyards."

Liang Qu nodded silently.

It's not hard to understand.

King Chu likes thin waists.

Whatever the superior likes, the subordinate follows.

Just right.

The Dragon Lord built the Long Gong, the only object that could be referenced, there was no other, only humans.

Other places, where to find the "palace" that symbolizes status and luxury?

Luxurious to the extreme, any change seems redundant, rather than drawing a tiger like a cat, it's better to copy it exactly.

The palace opened between the nine heavens, and the clothes and crowns of ten thousand countries came to pay respects.

Culture is linked to strength.

Who is strong.

Whose culture is the strong culture.

Radiating to the world, all coming to pay respects.

In the gap of strolling, the sun set.

The magnificent jellyfish picking lotus roots on the hills disappeared.

Replaced by young Dragon People, carrying long spears to patrol back and forth, occasionally with white sturgeon knights distributed.

Liang Qu felt there was nothing to see, using one mind for two purposes, communicating with Ze Ding.

【Absorbing two wisps of Dragon species aura, can sublimate the Ying Dragon pattern.】

Still remember the last time I harvested Dragon species aura, it was obtained by swallowing and absorbing a whole piece of dragon bone sturgeon demon dragon tendon, and there was no other harvest since then.

Didn't expect that just by approaching the Dragon People's territory, I would have a harvest, but after entering the tribe, there was no movement.

Two wisps of Dragon species aura...

Liang Qu thought secretly, vaguely feeling that this number could not be separated from the Dragon People tribe's Great Elder and Second Elder.

One Jiang Zongshi, one wisp?

"Liang my lord! Long time no see, your demeanor is even better than before."

Long Zong Yin spread his sleeves and fell down from the white sturgeon.

Long Binglin and Long Yanrui followed half a step behind.

Long Eying thought for a while, still followed behind Liang Qu, didn't step forward, to avoid Liang Qu being surrounded and isolated.

"Elder Long Zong Yin." Liang Qu jumped off the fat catfish head and raised his hand to salute, "Elder Long Zong Yin should know my purpose this time, dealing with the snake demon, the Dragon People tribe has helped a lot, today I return the favor, specifically to solve the matter of the Dragon People's Qi-eating medium, if you can trust me, please temporarily hand over the Long Qi to me."

Long Zong Yin was waiting for these words.

"Liang my lord is swift and decisive, the Dragon People tribe is naturally willing to hand it over, we couldn't ask for more, Yanrui!"

Long Yanrui stepped forward three steps and took out a blue ice ball from his arms.

The whole ice ball radiated a cold chill, even underwater, the surrounding water waves seemed to be frozen into ice dregs.

Unscrewed it.

A wisp of sky-blue Long Qi flowed uncertainly, the aura of the Long Qi was exactly the same as in Ze Ding.

Heavenly Water Morning Dew, washing away filth.

"Give me a quiet room."

"Binglin!"

"My lord, please follow me."

It's a major matter.

Since the day he got the news, Long Zong Yin had been preparing every moment.

Watching Liang Qu leave.

The steady heart was rarely nervous.

Standing still for a moment, Long Zong Yin was about to leave, when he suddenly saw the fat catfish, Cannot Move, and Round Head three beasts left in place.

Thought for a while.

"Yanrui, go and provide some food for Liang my lord's mount, cut the fresh lotus roots picked and add them in."

The fat catfish's spirits lifted, its long whiskers curled and twisted, making a silhouette of a thumbs up.

Round Head pressed its fins together to thank, "Cannot Move" flicked its tail and yawned.

Long Zong Yin didn't feel it was strange, stroked his beard and smiled.

The point of a god-man is extraordinary.

Quiet room.

The cut stones were pieced together, and no seams could be seen.

Liang Qu peeled open the ice ball, the whole wisp of Long Qi suddenly disappeared, and no trace could be seen.

Inside Ze Ding.

One red, one gray-green, two treasure blue.

Red Qi, dead wood meets spring, Heavenly Water Morning Dew, four wisps of Long Qi flowed together!

The Prince of Yue probably couldn't produce four wisps of such high-quality Long Qi!

Long Qi went down.

The blue sea formed by the essence of water and marsh collided with the tripod wall, glowing with tidal sounds.

【Tripod Master: Liang Qu】

【Water and Marsh Essence: 48,600 points】

After evolving "Cannot Move", Liang Qu swallowed treasure plants without stopping.

Water and Marsh Essence rose from 31,000 to 48,000, taking out 10,000, it didn't feel too heart-wrenching.

"Wool comes from the sheep... no, take it from the people, use it for the people!"

Once the thought was decided.

Ze Ding bloomed with brilliance, the ethereal blue Qi suddenly merged into the rising Water and Marsh Essence, rolling up a thousand piles of snow.

Whirlpools were born.

The fluorescent blue water level dropped one by one, the speed was shocking.

The light dissipated.

A blue-eyed little fish the size of a thumb appeared in the tripod, swimming happily.

【Water and Marsh Essence: 38,600 points】

10,000 essence evaporated and disappeared.

"Last time it was red eyes, this time it's blue eyes?"

Liang Qu stared at the spirit fish, noticing the difference.

Last year, when the spirit fish was born, the Water and Marsh Essence was almost emptied, so the little fish couldn't swim, flapping at the bottom of the tripod. Now the essence still has 38,000 left, swimming back and forth, quite agile.

The thought turned into a big hand, reached out to catch it, the spirit fish actually escaped twice, and only caught it the third time.

Opened its eyes.

The hand holding the ice ball for a long time was slightly purple, and a spirit fish lay quietly in it.

"Don't know if it can be used..."

It's fine to take it out, the key is it must be usable.

Can't use it.

The spirit fish in front of him had to be kept by himself, and the Long Qi in the tripod was exchanged for the Dragon People.

Door opened and closed.

Long Zong Yin, Long Binglin, Long Eying, and the rest of the elderly Dragon People were like husbands waiting anxiously outside the delivery room, surrounded.

"My lord, how is it?"

Liang Qu handed over the ice ball: "Try it with your method of calculating the Qi-eating rate, and see how many percent it is."

"Quick!"

Long Zong Yin glanced at the spirit fish in the ice ball and turned to call people.

Half an hour passed in a flash.

Long Binglin came out first, knelt on one knee, his eye sockets red.

"Elder, it's... it's top-tier!"

"Top-tier! It's top-tier!"

Long Zong Yin's blood rushed to his face.

He couldn't help but pace out a circle, clenching his fists tightly.

It was actually a top-tier that couldn't be found even if sought!

Even if Long Eying and Long Yanrui hadn't come out yet, just Long Binglin alone being top-tier was already stable!

Three Grandmasters remaining, facing the unpredictable and unknown underwater situation today, finally have a certain right to speak!

Long Zong Yin suppressed his surging heart.

"Liang my lord, you are truly a god-man!"

Liang Qu nodded lightly, calm and composed.

He thought.

Eighty percent shouldn't be the limit of Water and Marsh Essence, but the limit of the Dragon People's calculation!

Yesterday, the Prince of Yue's house steward Zhang Xu had said that the Qi-eating rate of Profound Xuan Huang Qi is actually higher than the eighty percent of top-tier!

Splash.

The door rolled out white steam.

Long Eying came out second.

Still top-tier!

After that, Long Yanrui.

Needless to say.

Long Binglin, Long Eying, Long Yanrui, all three were top-tier!

Liang Qu's words were not false!

"In this critical moment of survival, obtaining top-tier, Liang my lord has great kindness to our tribe!"

Long Zong Yin's hands trembled slightly, took a deep breath, held it high above his head, and bowed long.

"Why should the Third Elder be like this?" Liang Qu stepped aside, refusing to accept the salute.

"No, you should accept it." Long Zong Yin's expression was solemn, "The method used by my lord, I'm afraid the cost is quite high, right?"

Before Liang Qu could speak, Long Zong Yin said with certainty: "Before my lord, actually the Jianghuai Great Marsh was not without treasures that could improve the Qi-eating rate and raise it to a terrifying degree."

Liang Qu raised his eyebrows: "Profound Xuan Huang Qi?"

"No, Dragon Lord essence blood!" Long Zong Yin's words were shocking, "Long Qi mixed with Dragon Lord essence blood can raise the Dragon People's Qi-eating rate to top-tier!"

Hearing these words suddenly.

Long Binglin and Long Eying's eyes widened, revealing deep concern.

Essence blood is precious to anyone, how can the cost not be heavy?

Liang Qu transformed into a white ape, it's really hard to connect with the Dragon Lord's reincarnation, but perhaps it's another strange species bred by the Jianghuai River! A freak!

Long Zong Yin thought his idea was somewhat disrespectful.

But judging from the current performance, the white ape bloodline seems to be one level higher than the Dragon Lord's blood...

The fat catfish, "Cannot Move", and Round Head three beasts.

Regardless of appearance or performance, they are all growing from the depths of the source, not quite the same as the Dragon Lord's blood point transformation, roughly twisting into a dragon species...

Long Zong Yin's words made Liang Qu silent.

Is 10,000 Water and Marsh Essence high?

Count it as high.

In the past, I had to work hard to save enough.

Now... when the Dragon People bought ice, Xu Yuelong distributed materials worth 100,000 taels of silver to him afterward, and the bottom-line contribution alone was 30,000...

However, Dragon Lord essence blood is useful, this is the first time Liang Qu heard it.

Could it be that the Water and Marsh Essence content is too high, causing similar changes?

He didn't forget what Su Guishan said, that the Dragon Lord might be a treasure fish...

"Don't talk about this, since it's top-tier, why not decide quickly who will eat the Qi, so as not to have long nights and many dreams." Liang Qu pulled the topic back.

The surrounding elderly Dragon People nodded silently.

Indeed.

Since it's top-tier, one should eat the Qi early.

But looking around.

The Dragon People were in a dilemma.

Long Binglin, Long Eying, Long Yanrui, these three were already the best of the best, regardless of bloodline, strength, or realm, impeccable.

Before, they thought about whoever had the highest Qi-eating rate, let them try, never thinking they would all be top-tier.

"One-on-one, fight three rounds?"

"Useless." An elderly Dragon Person denied the proposal, "Realm improvement is related to combat power, but not absolutely related. The pursuit of Dao is different from the art of protecting Dao. Combat power chooses the best protection art, not the best Dao."

"Draw lots."

Long Zong Yin's method was simple and rude, tearing three thin water algae from the edge.

Two long and one short, rubbed together in the palm, letting the three take turns to draw.

"Whoever draws the short one eats the Qi."
