Chapter 816

~9 min read 1,656 words

Familiar people get things done.

Familiar turtles are the same.

The Sword Shrimp and Electric Eels guarding the surroundings retreated one after another.

The mysterious turtle species is naturally extraordinary. Wu Cangshou's realm is not high, just a turtle demon, but it still has a high status in the Turtle tribe. Although not as exaggerated as the old toad—one frog below, ten thousand frogs above—it is more than enough to bask in the sun with the Turtle King.

Wu Cangshou paddled his four limbs, landed steadily on the lawn, and whispered to the Turtle King in the middle.

After a while.

The Turtle King opened his eyes halfway.

Long Binglin landed at the right time and knelt on one knee.

"Grandson of Long Yuanjing of the Dragon-Man tribe, Long Binglin, pays respects to the Turtle Great King!"

"Sun Nu of Great Elder Long Chen of the Dragon-Man tribe, Long Eying, pays respects to the Turtle Great King!"

"So the Great Elder's name is Long Chen..."

Liang Qu learned the Great Elder's name for the first time. Before, he just called him Great Elder. He followed the two and paid respects to the Turtle Great King, who was like a small mountain.

"Liang Qu of Pingyang Prefecture, Great Shun, husband of Long Eying, currently working under Lord Su."

"Su Guishan, huh." The Turtle King spoke word by word, his language very slow—it could kill an impatient person, but no one dared to urge him, "Guishan hasn't been here for a while. Is he well?"

"Lord Su is fine, but the Ghost Mother Sect has been restless lately, running between the north and south banks." Liang Qu told the truth.

"You say you are Eying's husband, and Long Chen's granddaughter has married you?"

"I am fortunate to have won her heart."

Long Eying smiled peacefully.

The eyelids opened to two-thirds.

The Turtle King looked surprised: "He is quite open-minded, marrying into the human race?"

Since he would extend a helping hand to the Dragon-Man tribe, he naturally wouldn't be unfamiliar with the Dragon-Man situation.

Long Binglin, Long Eying, and Long Yanrui are the ones with the strongest bloodlines in the younger generation. Combining with the human race will undoubtedly significantly lower the bloodline concentration; conversely, with ordinary tribesmen, they could produce two or three more generations.

Although these words were not very polite, Liang Qu didn't take them too seriously.

At the Turtle King's level and age, if he still had to be careful, he would have cultivated in vain.

"Eying and I love each other, and the Great Elder is an open-minded elder, so naturally there is no reason to oppose it."

"Makes sense." The Turtle King nodded, "Long Yuanjing and Long Chen's grandchildren have grown so big in the blink of an eye. What brings you here today? Has the tribe encountered difficulties?"

"Thanks to the Turtle Great King's ten-thousand-year longevity, everything is fine in the Dragon-Man tribe. Today is a happy occasion. I, Yanrui, and Eying have all been promoted to the Perfected Form Realm. For such a big event, Great Elder Long Chen decided to hold a wedding banquet. Today we brought some gifts and specifically came to invite the Turtle Great King to the banquet. Later, we have to go to Long Yuan Road to invite Lord Ao Qing."

Long Binglin waved his hand.

Round Head passed the order.

River Porpoises swam in turns, taking and placing the things they were carrying—lotus seeds, treasure fish, rare minerals. Although the things were not top-notch, the Turtle King knew the situation of the Dragon-Man tribe and knew they couldn't take out anything good. He noticed another thing.

"Yanrui also entered the Perfected Form Realm?"

"By luck."

The Turtle King opened his eyelids completely.

The Dragon-Man tribe's cultivation method is quite similar to the human race's. How did so many pop up in a short time?

Look at the River Porpoises sending gifts again.

The organized River Porpoises, the affiliation of the forces is clear at a glance.

The imperial court?

It's not a bad thing.

Thought for a moment.

"The Turtle accepts the things. There is no need to attend the banquet. If I move, that narrow-minded Flood Dragon will likely become suspicious and cast his attention on you Dragon-Men. It is a time of many autumns, and the Dragon-Man tribe has five Grandmasters—not a small force.

It's hard to guarantee he won't wash it in blood in advance for the sake of stability. But it's a rare happy occasion, so it's not good not to express it. Cangshou, you lead them to the depths of the Clear Pool. According to what humans say, pick three portions of great medicine as my wedding gift. Cultivate well."

Long Binglin was shocked: "Turtle Great King, absolutely not. No reward without merit, how can..."

*Chi! *

The Turtle King sprayed a vast airflow from his nostrils, blowing the two who were kneeling on one knee up.

"Just take it. The Dragon-Man tribe's situation is not easy. If you really have the heart, when a Dragon-Man Jiang Zongshi appears in the future, come and pay respects to me again, and I will give it again."

Long Binglin paused: "Yes!"

A big deal.

Three portions of great medicine is by no means a small matter. Looking at the eyes of the large turtles around using the "Eye-Knowledge Method," one can see that many are dissatisfied, and some are even jealous, obviously dissatisfied that the Dragon-Man tribe ran over to send an invitation and took away three portions of top-notch treasure medicine.

I didn't expect that seeing a Dragon Sturgeon for the sake of being promoted to Jiang Zongshi would have such a surprise.

Liang Qu felt that the Turtle King probably regarded the three Grandmasters as the last afterglow of the Dragon-Man tribe, and was probably a bit mixed in his heart.

The Turtle King has lived for at least several hundred years, maybe a thousand. He has seen countless rises and falls of individuals and demons, but the extinction of an entire race is not too much.

It's a pity there is no share for him.

The extra portion out of the three is not for him, but for Long Yanrui who didn't come.

"Follow me!"

Wu Cangshou waved his claws.

Long Binglin and Long Eying followed closely.

Liang Qu's body rose and fell slightly, making obvious movements. Seeing that the turtles and guards didn't react, he also got up and followed, leaving only the Fat Catfish, Round Head, and the River Porpoises under his command waiting in place.

*Hu la la. *

Water bubbles rose quietly.

The Fat Catfish looked around, its two long whiskers drifting with the waves, just wanting to take advantage of the turtle's inattention to pull two water algae on the ground to taste, when a gaze fell on its head.

The Turtle King stretched his neck and looked around.

"This demon creature of yours looks quite strange. I haven't seen it in the Great Marsh. What species is it? Are you interested in coming under my command?"

Species?

Dropping the water algae in his whiskers.

The Fat Catfish puffed out its chest and raised its head, its fish fins patting its chest: "Legless Frog!"

*Pa! *

Round Head patted his own forehead with a fin.

Finished.

Pretending to be silly for too long, it became real.

Turtle King: "..."

"River within a river, lake within a lake, how mysterious."

On the other side, Liang Qu and others followed Wu Cangshou into the Clear Pool.

The quality of the water in the entire Clear Pool seems to be heavier than ordinary water, so it can present itself at the bottom of the water in the posture of a complete pool of water.

Sinking into the clear green pool water, all the way inside along the big hole in the center, every limb and bone was happy, the refreshing feeling was even more so, as if sitting in the spring breeze and breathing deeply, the cool wind poured into the entire lung cavity from the nasal cavity, full of vitality.

Sinking to the bottom, the clear green light illuminated the entire treasure house.

"So many elixirs!" Liang Qu saw the bottles and jars on the shelf at a glance, which were by no means what water beasts could make. "Grandpa Shou, the elixirs on the shelf..."

"Refined by your human alchemists. The Turtle Great King often has trade dealings with the imperial court, and they have slowly accumulated. You two, pick whatever great medicine you need. Don't be greedy, and don't be restrained."

Long Eying looked at Liang Qu.

Liang Qu shook his head: "Pick what you need, take it and eat it yourself."

"Your relationship is good, and you are willing to give up great medicine?" Wu Cangshou laughed.

"Cough, love each other, you know."

Long Binglin and Long Eying dispersed to pick the treasure medicine they needed. Liang Qu looked around and was suddenly attracted by the brilliance in the corner.

Bypassing two shelves.

*Huo. *

What a colorful gemstone!

Liang Qu had seen clam pearls and giant clam pearls.

The former has iridescent colors, the latter has no pearl layer but has unique fire colors, but he had never seen one as gorgeous as the one in front of him, with a faint green oily texture like the inner shell of an abalone.

"Grandpa Shou, this is..."

"Oh, that, abalone pearl."

"Abalone pearl?" Liang Qu was surprised, "Do abalones have pearls?"

"Naturally, but it is quite rare. There are hundreds of abalone species, and only a few eight can produce abalone pearls. And among the eight that can produce pearls, it takes hundreds of thousands to give birth to one. It belongs to the Turtle Great King's collection, exchanged by sea merchants decades ago."

It really has something to do with abalone.

Liang Qu's hands suddenly itched.

"Grandpa Shou, can I touch it?"
