Chapter 774: Today

Bamboo shoots steamed with cured chicken legs, a few green beans sprinkled among them, the rapeseed oil glistening golden and bright.

Wulong stepped on a silly chicken with one claw, squatting on the ground, panting with its tongue out and sweeping its tail, stirring up bursts of breeze.

Everyone gorged themselves.

Liang Qu picked up bamboo shoots with his chopsticks, his eyes flickering, and he couldn't help but look outside. Among the dense tree shade, red dates hung all over the branches.

Having a goal to climb, burying his head in hard work, the passage of time was naturally hard to notice. Only when having leisure to eat, occasionally seeing seasonal vegetables, could he recall a thing or two.

It was September.

Jian Zhongyi's matter was temporarily settled. Compared to the running around from Pingyang to the Imperial Capital, matters concerning the Great Snow Mountain, and having to pay with death, the Qingzhou Jian clan's running around, the new Pingyang Prefect, and the involvement of various forces were the real big heads that wasted time. It was definitely not something that could be settled in a few days after going to the Imperial Capital.

At the same time, according to the Sea Shopkeeper's estimate, the Eight-Clawed King's reincarnation day was getting closer.

"One last boost!"

Liang Qu swallowed the bamboo shoots, collected his thoughts, and nimbly polished off the white rice in his bowl.

Quiet room.

Two indigo cushions were adjacent.

Long Eying sat cross-legged to protect the law, Liang Qu closed his eyes and communicated with the Ze Ding.

Water tides slapped the Ding, creation long-breath swayed, and a touch of emerald essence hung on the "branch."

【Separated by days, passing through seasons, can consume 3,000 Water Ze Essence to condense a seed of creation.】

【Water Ze Essence: 105,000】

Splash!

An emerald seed fell from the branch, dropped to the bottom of the Ding, and splashed out a few foam flowers.

【Water Ze Essence: 102,000】

【Seed of Creation: 4】

Seed of Creation!

Liang Qu gave the Sea Shopkeeper three, leaving one. After experiencing winter, spring, and the summer that ended today, he now had a total of four.

He didn't intend to give these four to the Sea Shopkeeper, but to use them for himself.

【Seed of Creation: Can be used to nourish divine abilities, divine ability seeds, consume...】

Strengthen the divine ability 【Water Travel for a Thousand Li】!

Facing the Eight-Clawed King, a Sea Demon King, with Liang Qu's current skills, stacking defense was useless. Stacking it was nothing more than the difference between one layer of paper and two layers of paper.

Must stack evasion!

In addition, entering autumn in September, not only was there one more seed of creation, but the Water Ze Essence in the Ze Ding also had an extra 35,000.

All big and small affairs within this year were finished, and there was no other extra essence income. But excluding the old turtle in Peng Ze, Toad King was not a bad object for overdraft!

July and August were too hot, work stopped for a while, only working sporadically at night. The Great Beaver's new ship model was expected to be completed at the end of September.

One assembled ship model every two months.

At this progress, Liang Qu overdrawn a total of three times, respectively for the six quotas of September, November, and January next year, in exchange for three golden gong treasure fish and three sky-blue fish.

The golden gong fish and sky-blue fish were not large, and from the perspective of Water Ze Essence, they belonged to the lower quality category, but they were rare treasure fish that could enhance the spirit, which helped reduce the burden of divine abilities.

The cost was not high.

With A-Fei's communication, Toad King was much easier to talk to than the old turtle. He only needed to send a small gadget similar to the "Six-Child Joint Square" as interest when sending the boats for the three overdrawn times.

"Hoo!"

"Strengthen the divine ability first!"

Inside the Ze Ding, the seed of creation merged into the Refined Ze Ling.

A wave of water rhyme light spread from Bai Yuan's body.

Liang Qu could very clearly feel that 【Water Travel for a Thousand Li】, which had become an instinct, was like a sapling that had absorbed nutrients, eager to sprout branches and leaves.

"Can I grasp the direction of growth?"

Silently experiencing, Liang Qu vaguely felt he could grasp the direction of the gain.

Either extreme distance, consumption, or grasp of spatial scale.

A thousand li of magnitude was unnecessary. Even if it were a hundred li, with the Sea Shopkeeper pulling, the Eight-Clawed King couldn't catch up and wouldn't have much spare energy, so he smashed it all on consumption!

Four in a row.

The sense of improvement was particularly obvious. Although it wasn't progressive, the further back, the harder it was to drop, but it seemed to have dropped consumption by 20% to 30%. On the scale of long distance, it directly added an extra opportunity for use, and two to three times for short distance?

Fully experienced.

Another 100,000 Water Ze Essence, all smashed into the fusion degree. The blue Ze of the Ze Ding plummeted.

【Refining Refined Ze Ling: Water Wang Yuan (Purple) (Fusion Degree: 7.5%↑)】

Candlelight was ghostly.

Long Eying added lamp oil and changed to new incense.

Seeing Liang Qu practicing diligently, she didn't circulate her energy, supported her cheeks, and watched quietly with watery eyes, counting his eyelashes one by one.

【Ding Master: Liang Qu】

【Refining Refined Ze Ling: Water Wang Yuan (Purple) (Fusion Degree: 8%)】

【Water Wang Yuan fusion degree rose, obtained heaven and earth spiritual bell, River Favorability +0.1121】

【River Favorability: 10.6129】

Looking inside his body.

Six layers of the Heavenly Dragon, two layers had been successfully established, and the large dragon skeleton was filled with a lot of flesh and blood.

Sea Abyss Palace.

The Eight-Clawed King kept flipping its tentacles, moving counting rods to divine, similar behavior occurred who knows how many times.

Delay eating?

No.

Right now it was just a small ominous sign, a sign of danger but not death. Dragging it further, in less than two years, it would jump directly to "ominous," and the next ten-plus years would be "greatly ominous," with the danger of extinction.

Extinguish the Sea Shopkeeper?

Greatly ominous!

Give up the Sea Shopkeeper and change to swallowing Lady Hai Yun?

Ominous!

Don't swallow at all?

Greatly ominous!

Calculating back and forth.

The Eight-Clawed King was surprised to find that choosing the best among the inferior, it only had the path of biting the bullet and walking on!

"Who is it, the Shark King? Did he see something?"

The Eight-Clawed King was gloomy and uncertain, really unable to guess who was staring at it.

Eight-Clawed, Shark, the two clans had cooperated for hundreds of years, jointly carrying forward the sea merchants, and the relationship was close. Could it really be that there were omissions in the first two times, and the Shark King noticed clues?

Or other Demon Kings?

If I switch to swallowing Lady Hai Yun, she is far less nourishing than the Sea Hai Fangzhu. My own strength would certainly drop significantly, and I would be no stronger than when I first entered the Demon King realm. Plus, I am not good at fighting, so there is even a possibility of being at the bottom. Should I launch a surprise attack now?

Don't swallow at all, naturally die of old age?

Why would giving the Sea Shopkeeper a way to live also be greatly ominous after giving up swallowing?

The Eight-Clawed King couldn't understand. Could it be that the Sea Shopkeeper climbed a "high branch"? Found foreign aid?

But would foreign aid come to confront an "immortal" Demon King for a sea merchant?

If it slipped, the aftermath would be endless.

Or is the Sea Shopkeeper's innate talent too high, and will it become a Martial Saint to take revenge in the future?

The Eight-Clawed King carefully selected wives from the clan, it was true. The Sea Shopkeeper was not only beautiful among fish, but its innate talent indeed had the posture of a Demon King. But even if it went smoothly, it would be a matter of many decades later.

Staring at the counting rods in front.

The Eight-Clawed King was silent for a long time.

"At the beginning of reincarnation practice, is there today's calamity..."

Algae forest.

Slap, slap, slap!

The fat catfish flicked its two long whiskers, rhythmically slapping the frog's back.

The old toad lay in the toad cave newly built by the legless frog, two frog legs stretched straight, eating one small yellow croaker per bite, comfortably enjoying the massage, suddenly its spirit moved, and it raised its frog head.

Not long after.

Shadows spread, a brown eight-clawed creature with an extremely huge body, several times larger than the Sea Shopkeeper, swam out from the Sea Abyss Palace. Whoever was in the market, none did not prostrate.

"Quick, quick, quick!"

The old toad's spirit was greatly boosted, waving its frog webs, fiercely slapping the fat catfish's head.

"Let Liang Qing come quickly!"
