Chapter 780: Not Announced Externally

~9 min read 1,771 words

"Do a somersault!"

Rocky beach, water algae grew in the cracks, starfish flicked five limbs, freely catching floating algae.

Liang Qu lit up his golden eyes.

The flat small yellow croaker flicked the fins on both sides, jumped with all its might, and performed a backflip in the air.

Unfortunately, the backflip behavior didn't conform to the small yellow croaker's physiological characteristics. Flipping to mid-air, disturbed by the water flow, it rolled to the side, fluttering like a maple leaf, sticking to the rock surface.

Long Eying laughed.

Liang Qu struck while the iron was hot, letting the small yellow croaker flip another one.

The so-called guarding the path was not letting other demon beasts run over to disturb the Sea Shopkeeper's seclusion, letting her rest assured and promote.

The Eight-Clawed King's reincarnation location was very remote, let alone demon beasts, only two or three small fish.

With nothing to do, Liang Qu took Long Eying, searched for strange aquatic biological species around the cave, and when seeing interesting and good-looking small fish and shrimp, 【Strongly Control】 a wave, letting them perform backflips.

Long Eying also never tired of watching.

Backflip, front flip, chasing its own tail, snake-like swimming, the small yellow croaker performed all kinds of movements one after another, the light gradually orange.

Liang Qu looked up.

The setting sun slanted, staggered light pillars cast down, unknowingly it was dinner time, fed half a small fish to compensate for consumption, he cut off the connection, the small yellow croaker flicked out bubbles and fled into the rock cracks.

"So many days, if the Elder didn't use means, the small fish wouldn't be close to you at all." Long Eying teased.

"Nonsense, how could there be none?" Liang Qu denied. "I know of one."

"Which one?"

"You!"

Long Eying blushed slightly.

"Hehe, eat, eat, don't know how many eight-clawed meatballs were blanched today, let's see first."

Dong, dong, dong!

Inside the cave, the dense hammering sound rang into a piece.

The fat catfish rolled round stones with two long whiskers, alternating back and forth, knocking hard into the ice mortar.

Lying in the ice mortar was a rotten mess, mixed with ice crystals of white meat, occasionally wriggling like it had activity, climbing up the ice wall.

Beside the ice mortar was an ice bucket, all processed white meat that had lost activity.

This method came from the head chef, Otter's suggestion.

Without treasure materials to dissolve the meat quality, one could adopt physical means, smash the Eight-Clawed King's meat into meat paste, then blanch it with boiling water to make Eight-Clawed fish meatballs, add a little kelp and white mushrooms, and make it into a fresh soup.

The only difficulty was that the Eight-Clawed fish's flesh and blood activity was too strong, wriggling like liquid. If not for Eying's ice freezing suppression, ordinary physical attacks would be hard to work. Smashing for half a day only yielded a small portion, low efficiency.

Therefore, the heavy responsibility fell on the water beasts.

Gaze crossed the fat catfish.

Round head, cannot move, A-Wei, not one water beast was idle, the fist efficiency was the highest, the most serious, two big pincers waved tiger-like.

Nearly half of the Eight-Clawed fish meatballs every day came from its crab pincers.

Oh,

Not right.

It should belong to the little mirage dragon.

Two small claws crossed, the little mirage dragon lay on cannot move's long horns, shaking its legs to rest, beside it were neat rows of "white fists" arranging, waving big pincers, uniform.

"Dinner, dinner!"

Liang Qu beckoned.

Wuhu.

Water beasts cheered and jumped.

The fat catfish flicked its double whiskers, threw away the round stone first, put away the frozen meat with its fists, clamped a bucket of fish meat with each pincer, and walked sideways out.

Blue bricks built a stove, big fire licked the bottom of the pot.

Rolling white mist steamed.

The weather was getting cold.

The rock island built by the fat catfish's soil-wood innate talent was shrouded in boiling water white mist.

Otter grabbed a big iron spoon, stirred the boiling water in the pot, and sprinkled a handful of green vegetable leaves.

Water beasts surrounded the small island, opened their big mouths and lined up, waiting for the otter to feed.

【Water Ze Essence +16】

【Water Ze Essence +15】

【Water Ze Essence +16】

The amount of a single fish meatball was not much, winning in continuousness. Drinking fish meatball soup for half a month, the blue tide at the bottom covered the bottom of the Ding again.

Take a look at the total amount.

【Water Ze Essence: 9,200】

Before the big battle, Liang Qu's Water Ze Essence was less than 2,000.

During the big battle, he threw dozens of water dragon spears, all bottomed out.

Half a month of soaking in the sea yielded several hundred, right now there were more than 8,000, all eaten out of the tentacles.

Long Eying was disgusted, only ate normal fish meatballs, water beasts worked and shared half, the amount of meat consumed only accounted for one-several-thirtieth!

And they started eating from the back, the most essence-filled front end hadn't been moved!

The Water Ze Essence of the demon beast unit volume was far less than the treasure fish, even so it was exaggerated enough.

Taking the whole strip should have one million Water Ze Essence?

"Just relying on eating, the progress is too slow, eating several hundred a day. Returning to the shore, must find an opportunity to refine a big pill..."

Splash!

Frog head drilled out of the water, splashing away water stains. Liang Qu reached out to cover the porcelain bowl, blocking the water spray.

"Frog Duke? Have a bowl of fish meatball soup?"

"Don't drink, don't drink! It's November, time to go ashore!" The old toad flicked the yellow skin bag, urging.

"November?"

Liang Qu calculated silently, shocked that it was really so. Recently, he was so happy guarding the path that he forgot to return.

Half a month... the journey time was about the same.

"Frog Duke opens his mouth, naturally set off!"

The old toad was overjoyed: "Quick, quick, quick, let them promote me!"

"Eying..."

"I will be careful."

"A-Wei and the Third Prince stay behind, half of the finless porpoises, tell them if there's anything, if nothing, keep them company."

"Good."

"A-Fei, stop eating! Fists, Round Head, work!"

Heavenly God order, water beasts "swallowed dates whole," dived to pack things.

Otters tied chains for the water beasts, fat catfish and other beasts dragged the ice blocks and dragged them into the vortex channel.

Bright moon hung high.

Candlelight flickered.

Top floor of the River Po Office, Grandmasters gathered upon hearing the news, eyes shining.

"Fortunately not disgraced!"

Liang Qu dealt the pages like playing cards, presenting them one by one.

The pages detailed the actions of Bai Yuan, the Sea Shopkeeper, and Frog Duke in it, which he wrote in the gap of returning home.

Silently flipping.

Everyone's face was filled with joy.

Good kid!

It was handled truly beautifully!

Things went much smoother than expected!

The long dragon crossing the river was well-deserved, such stirring up wind and rain, the ability to catch big fish, don't know how many people envied.

"Handled cleanly? Any tail left?" Xu Wenzhu asked. "The Eight-Clawed King is immortal, stained with regeneration, fleeing part of the flesh and blood will also have big trouble!"

It was a coincidence.

Escorting Liang Qu to Pingyang last year, just in time for the Sea Shopkeeper to send heaven and earth long-breath, Xu Yuelong wanted to go into seclusion. Xu Wenzhu, as a father, stayed until the beginning of the year, and then caught up with the Eight-Clawed King's reincarnation matter. Several letters, the imperial court simply let Xu Wenzhu and Lan Jicai temporarily stay in Pingyang to plan.

"Cannot guarantee whether flesh and blood was left, the Sea Shopkeeper and the Eight-Clawed King's confrontation was too intense, Bai Yuan didn't dare to get too close, there were indeed many remains afterwards, but Frog Duke felt it was fine, and the only tentacle that made it annoyed was also grabbed back."

As soon as this was said.

Everyone's brows relaxed.

The River Po Office's recording official, staying long enough, all understood what was going on.

"The Sea Shopkeeper swallows the Eight-Clawed King, how long to become a Demon King?"

"The Sea Shopkeeper said two months at the shortest, half a year at the longest, both are possible. In addition, she needs to control the sea merchants, during which she needs to inform the Shark King, the Whale Emperor, and all kinds of things, needing to wait until autumn next year to fulfill the promise."

"Not long."

Su Guishan stroked his beard.

Martial Saint lives eight hundred years, the correspondence between Pingyang and the Imperial Capital is counted in months, half a year, not a very long time span.

With sea merchants stationed, plus the port of Lanzhou. 【780-104

The changes in Pingyang Prefecture over the last few years might not be as great as those in Huaiyin Prefecture over the past few decades!

Everyone has merit!

The only problem.

Xu Wenzhu reminded: "After all, this involves interfering with a Sea Clan Demon King; this matter should not be publicized with great fanfare."

Liang Qu's heart skipped a beat: "Then my..."

"Rest assured, we won't speak of it externally, but internally, your credit will not be lacking. Once the Sea Hai Fangzhu fulfills their promise, you kid just wait to receive your title!"

"Many thanks, General Xu!"

Liang Qu was overjoyed. After a pause, he looked at Su Guishan again: "Prefect, this junior might need to make a trip to the Imperial Capital at the end of the year."

"To refine elixirs?"

"Exactly!"

"You should go. For such a major event, you naturally ought to see the Emperor in person."

Su Guishan was in a good mood.

He looked at the gains recorded in the booklet.

Using the connecting wrist to disrupt the heavenly secrets was normal. With the unity of heaven and man, casting a stone creates ripples, and the wind stirs up waves. The unique connecting wrist carried more "weight" and naturally could mislead more effectively, but he hadn't expected the Sea Hai Fangzhu to give the connecting wrist to Liang Qu.

Refining elixirs with a Demon King's wrist.

Alchemists with such capabilities only exist in the Imperial Capital and Southern Zhili.

"It just so happens, rest for two days first, organize the information, and I will have you sent to the Imperial Capital on an auspicious day!"
