Da Jiang lived in Huainan Prefecture and built a thatched tower.

He is responsible for observing the stars and the weather. From the stars in the sky to the fate of ordinary people, he can observe everything by tying a grass knot.

Suddenly, an old voice came from the top of Jiecao Tower, breaking the silence of the night, "Huainan Prefecture, the fortune of the prefecture has changed. It must be the birth of a Qing or above fortune teller. Order the government offices and immortal sects of all counties to conduct a thorough investigation!"

…

Towards Feng County, in the Great Wilderness Mountain, there is a Taoist temple that rises abruptly from the ground.

Taoist Liquan sat high on a cushion in the temple. Under the cushions, dozens or even hundreds of martial artists were kneeling, bowing, or fainting. All of them had their eyes closed with their eyeballs rolling rapidly.

Seems to be dreaming.

Many warriors looked emaciated and on the verge of death.

Outside the Taoist temple, there were several new martial artists who had been searching for immortality for a long time. Finally, they saw the fairy mountain and walked into the Taoist temple, becoming one of those who fell into the dream.

At this moment, Taoist Liquan suddenly opened his eyes, somewhat surprised and confused.

"Why do I feel so terrified? Could it be that some enemy is trying to take advantage of my situation and plot against me?"

Taoist Liquan pondered for a long time in his mind, but he still couldn't figure out the reason for this sudden impulse.

"It's a pity that I don't practice divination, otherwise I could use yarrow divination or tortoise shell divination to see a glimpse of the secrets of the universe."

Taoist Liquan felt a little regretful.

Unfortunately, the art of divination is profound and extensive. Unless one specializes in it, even he, a cultivator who has perfected Qi training, cannot find the method.

"Junior Brother Wang was very proficient in divination back then. He could even step on seven stars and ask about his fate. I just don't know if he saw his future death. Is it his fate to return to his roots after death?"

Taoist Liquan was talking to himself,

"What do you mean you were born and raised by me, and you can't bear to see the common people in mourning? But you don't know that the immortal way is ruthless. You and I are both fighting for salvation! For a few mortals, you actually become my enemy? Ridiculous!"

…

Zhuoguang Mountain

The sleeping tiger slowly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his amber eyes.

The moon is high in the sky and everything is silent.

The tiger's ears twitched slightly, and he could hear the flowers, trees, insects and animals nearby whispering.

'Drink water' 'Grow taller' 'Eat eat eat'

Original and simple.

And from the far distance, near the Nituo River, there seemed to be unusual movements.

The moist river wind blew into the mountain, drifting slowly in front of the mountain king. Then, a ghost that was invisible to the naked eye fell from the wind and whispered in the mountain king's ear.

The mountain king has always claimed that he has the innate ability to see through the dark.

But Tongyou is a real magical technique of immortality, which can communicate with ghosts and gods and reach the underworld.

The mountain tiger is just a monster in the Qi training stage, how could it have such magical powers?

Nothing more than a tiger's lackey.

The tiger king had raised dozens of minions, including pioneers who had died accidentally while entering the mountains, as well as the spirits of wild beasts. All of them were released by the tiger king and spread throughout the mountains and wilderness, monitoring for it and acting as its eyes and ears.

Confusing the audience and putting on airs, little kitties are also very wise.

Hearing the words of the ghost, the tiger's body trembled, his eyes widened,

"That Yuanchan, has he opened the Immortal Gate so quickly?"

"And his intelligence is still there, and he even rejected the female horned toad's courtship?"

The tiger stood up, stretched, and walked back and forth on the rock, the shock in his eyes still lingering.

How long has it been?

Calculating the time, it’s only been half a year.

For the monster, it was almost just a nap time.

That Jade Yuanchan actually pushed open the door to immortality from a small demon and became a Qi-training demon beast! Even if it was taking the path of visualizing the ancestral demon and returning to its ancestral form, this speed was too fast!

After all, for monsters, hunger is the norm.

It is already a rare opportunity to fight and get blood food every few months.

Compared to humans, monsters are not good at using objects, and have no assistance from elixirs or formations.

Once injured, there is a risk of death.

If you take the path of reversion to your ancestors, you will die even faster.

Among the ten monsters, one monster pushed open the immortal gate and refined the monster power. It's good! "It's so fast, it can only mean that Yuanchan hunted and devoured many monsters! It's strange, the Jade Yuanchan's background is mediocre, and the accompanying magical powers recorded in the book are also common. How can it be so strong?"

The tiger pondered for a long time, but to no avail.

Recently, it hesitated for a moment, and pulled out a dark white and long tiger tooth from the stone pestle under the rock.

This is the upper fang that it shed when it pushed open the gate to immortality.

It contains a murderous aura that can kill evil spirits and drive away ghosts. If hung in front of a door, ghosts will stay away. If given to a cultivator, it can even be refined into a magic weapon.

"We are all fellow Taoists in the mountains. Please take my fangs and give them to Yuan Chan as a gift for his breakthrough."

The ghost seemed to still retain his sanity. Upon hearing this, he gestured and seemed to be saying something.

"You'll lose your spiritual wisdom sooner or later, so why give me gifts?"

Upon hearing this, the tiger shook his head and laughed.

"It is said that it is easy to defeat a thief in the mountains, but it is difficult to defeat a thief in one's heart. I practice the Demonic Scripture and call myself the Mountain King in order to get rid of my tiger nature and bestiality. This gift is not only for Daoist Yuan Chan, but also for myself."

When the ghost heard this, he seemed to understand but didn't quite understand, but he just kept floating around and didn't take the fang.

The tiger was stunned when he saw this, his eyes were confused, and then he reacted immediately.

As the demonic energy blew, the white light of the fangs receded a little, and the feeling of choosing someone to devour was completely suppressed.

The evil spirit then took away the fang, which fell into the wind and disappeared.

…

Nituo River, below the river surface.

The Jade Yuan Chan was like a black shadow, moving at an astonishing speed.

Many fish and shrimps in the shallow area were swallowed up by the Jade Yuan Toad automatically before they could react, leaving only gurgling bubbles rising to the surface of the water.

The shallow area of ​​the Nituo River is extremely vast, with a depth of nearly 100 miles.

As we gradually approach the deep water area, the color of the river surface becomes darker and darker, where fresh water and salt water merge and blend, forming a clearly visible dividing line.

The sky and the sea are far away. Standing on the shore, you can't see the end of the Nituo River. There is only a ray of light at the end.

At this time, the Jade Yuan Chan, which had pushed open the immortal gate and become a Qi-cultivating monster, had reached the deep water area in just half an hour after traveling a hundred miles.

Toads already possessed excellent perception and dynamic vision, and now the Jade Yuan Toad's perception ability is naturally even stronger, and it even formed some kind of sudden premonition.

The undercurrent is rolling and the water is splashing, and a lot of information is hidden in it.

It could clearly feel the countless powerful auras coming from the vast waters ahead.

In addition, there are many mysterious places that make it long for and have an instinct to call.

How many water monsters and underwater relics are hidden in this area of ​​water thrown down by Mother Earth?

No demon knows.

At this time, the Jade Yuan Chan did not hesitate. He controlled the water behind him and his body turned into an arrow and rushed into the deep water.

Survival of the fittest, only deeper waters can give birth to stronger monsters.

Using it as nourishment for growth, the Jade Yuan Chan can transform and become stronger faster!

It is getting late, the stars are hanging low over the vast plain, and the moon is rising over the river.

After the Jade Yuan Chan swam for more than ten miles, it sensed that there was a huge fat catfish that was nearly three feet long, with a wide body and long whiskers on its mouth, more than thirty feet ahead.

This fat catfish is quite intelligent. After eating and drinking its fill, it actually started playing with an old turtle. It floated on the water surface and used its tail to repeatedly slap the turtle into the air.

After secretly comparing the enemy's and our own strengths, the Jade Yuan Chan's eyes turned cold, and terrifying power burst out from his limbs.

Bang! The water formed a wave column behind him, and large areas of river water exploded. The Jade Yuanchan shot out in an instant and appeared in front of the fat catfish. It kicked its hind legs hard! The bone spurs on its hind legs were like blades, carrying huge force.

There was a sound of the fish head breaking, and the little demon, whose aura was no less powerful than that of the king tuna, was killed instantly.

Crash...

The fat catfish with amazing vitality was still struggling, with only half of its body left splashing water and blood gushing out.

In order to prevent the smell of blood from attracting other monsters, the Jade Yuan Chan controlled the water flow and stopped the blood from spreading.

The old turtle fell down with a snap. When its confused little eyes saw the terrifying figure of the jade toad, it immediately retracted its head into its carapace with a whoosh, lay dead on the spot, and floated in the wind.

With a great meal in front of her, Jade Yuanchan didn't want to bother with the old turtle any more.

The Jade Yuan Chan opened its mouth, revealing a row of sharp teeth, and ate the little demon in no time, even the fish blood was not spared, and it drank it like an after-meal tea.

The sashimi is crispy and delicious!

The fish meat entered his stomach and quickly transformed into a warm current. The Jade Yuan Chan only felt his whole body tremble, and the strength in his body increased slightly.

[Precious Blood +4]

[Transformation Degree +1]

It's a pity that the little demon that once could bring it great transformation, can only bring very little progress after the Jade Yuan Toad broke through to the Qi training stage.

Even continuing to hunt will be completely useless.

It’s time to update the Jade Yuanchan recipe!

The target is a monster that is also in the Qi training stage!

Controlling the water flow, a round green water drop that looked like a piece of jade appeared in front of the Jade Yuanchan's eyes.

This was found in the belly of a fat catfish. It is different from other little demons before, which used body parts as the basis of their Taoism.

This little demon actually has an extra drop of water essence condensed in its body.

It is very beneficial to water-based monsters, and can also be used to refine pills and weapons, so it has a wide range of uses.

Upon seeing this drop of water essence, the Jade Yuan Chan even felt a certain desire in his heart.

He swallowed it in one gulp, and the water essence turned into coolness, seeping into the body of the Jade Yuan Toad bit by bit.

Some things based on Taoism are difficult to digest.

This chill lingered for a long time and remained condensed in the Jade Yuan Toad's body, giving people the feeling of eating ice in the middle of winter.

So it swam towards the direction of the giant turtle carrying the monument.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

On the way, I met two extra little monsters.

Perhaps because they are in deep water, these water monsters look very ugly.

Each of them is covered with dark brown scales, with bulging eyes and tiny fangs neatly arranged in their open mouths. Their mouths are always drooping like a bitter face, appearing extremely aggrieved.

Some of them were transparent, and you could even see their internal organs and bones clearly! The Jade Yuanchan was a little reluctant to eat them. After making sure they were not poisonous, they ate them along with the water sunflowers that had a mustard flavor.

The strange pouch in its throat swallowed the Taoist items of the two little demons, the Jade Yuan Toad burped, and swam slowly towards the shallow area.

A quarter of an hour later, the Jade Yuan Toad slowly stopped, its eyes were cold, its limbs floated up and down with the water, its eyes that were like burning flames formed transmissive spots of light in the water, adding a bit of mystery to it.

And a hundred feet away, there was a powerful aura.

It was ten feet long and as thick as a bucket. It seemed to be some kind of python, lurking at the bottom of the dark river.

At this time, the two monsters were hundreds of feet apart and stared at each other silently.

In the end, the water python on the opposite side chose to retreat.

It sensed a faint sense of fatal danger from the toad in front of it.

It's a little weird though.

The aura of this toad monster is not very strong, it seems to be in the early stage of Qi training.

But it can bring a certain sense of deterrence to myself, who has practiced Taoism for a hundred years and is in the middle stage of Qi training.

"Has it returned from the deep sea? And it smells bloody. It must be a demon that has reverted to its original form. It's not easy to mess with. I'm going to run away..."

The scales of the water python glowed faintly, and the complex lines on them were like talismans of heaven and earth. With a flash of green light, the surrounding water currents carried it away.

In just a blink of an eye, it completely disappeared from the Jade Yuan Chan's perception.

After a while, the Jade Yuan Chan returned to the shallow area and slowly climbed out of the water.

Quack, quack, quack…

There were bursts of rapid quacking.

But the horned toad refused to give up and came to pay homage to the "Demon King" again.

The Jade Yuanchan thought about it and did not drive away the group of horned toads this time.

It scanned the group of toads and found that two of them had particularly outstanding auras and were on the verge of transforming into monsters. They were the size of face basins, with strong muscles all over their bodies, almost the same size as bullfrogs.

The Jade Yuan Toad entered the water again, and after a while, it brought back the corpse of a little demon. Without saying anything, it controlled the demonic wind and brought the two horned toads over.

The two horned toads seemed to understand what was going on, but now that they had gotten the food, they couldn't wait to start swallowing it.

Their bodies grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their spirituality gradually increased.

The monsters are numerous and powerful. Since ancient times, those who have become monster saints have all gathered together, commanded hundreds of beasts, and even established their own territory, daring to challenge the immortal cultivation sects.

Although Jade Yuanchan has no intention of establishing a demon court on earth at present, he does not rule out recruiting some subordinates.

After all, the Nituo River is vast and has abundant resources. There is no telling how many precious underwater medicines there are. It would be too inefficient to collect them on its own.

He also has a group of demon generals who can protect him while he devours and refines demon beasts and sleeps.

Therefore, under the premise of not slowing down its own growth rate, Jade Yuanchan is also willing to train the "younger generation".

Time passed, half an hour later.

The two horned toads just now have grown a lot bigger, their intelligence has been awakened, and they have become little demons.

"Your Majesty!"

"It looks great! So strong! So big! I want to... give birth to tadpoles for you!"

Two horned toads gathered around the Jade Yuan Toad and croaked incessantly. The Jade Yuan Toad vaguely understood what they meant.

Ignoring the strong desire of one of the toads to hold the other, Jade Yuanchan named the two toads, Toad Big Toad Two (Female) and then Jade Yuanchan counted the number and gender distribution of the group of horned toads.

There are a total of 165 horned toads. Excluding young and old horned toads, there are 100 mature horned toads, which is a very healthy distribution ratio.

The Jade Yuanchan also discovered two horned toads that, although they had not transformed into monsters, seemed to have eaten some strange insects by mistake and possessed unique talents.

The toad venom of a toad is in the form of golden sand, smells like rotten eggs, and feels burning when touched. It seems that it can be used as some kind of immortal material.

The other one is a sleepy toad, sleeping all day long and relying on its companion to carry it. But every time it croaks, it can affect the fighting spirit of other horned toads in a small range, causing them to fall into strange excitement. Once threatened, they will fight to the death.

After reviewing the situation of the toad colony, the Jade Yuan Toad issued several orders, "First, reproduce! The entire colony must resolutely implement the call for reproduction! Strive to double the number after each breeding season!"

"Second, you are not allowed to make any noise without a reason! The mountains and rivers are extremely dangerous and filled with monsters. You must remain silent."

"Three, set up sentries and patrol during the day!"

"Fourth, treasure hunt! Look for shiny, bright, glowing, or fragrant things!"

Of course, the Jade Yuanchan did not expect that these horned toads, most of whom had not yet developed their intelligence, would be able to fully understand what he meant.

Instead, he planned to take it step by step, from top to bottom, first controlling Toad One and Toad Two, and then slowly changing this group of horned toads.

After doing this, the Jade Yuanchan released the horned toads.

Perhaps because it is near the river, it always rains near the Nituo River. Even during the day, the weather is gloomy.

The jade Yuanchan glided across the river, with only the warts on its armor visible. Raindrops splashed water, and behind it was the river surface with rising mist.

The clear Wanli Lake is just like this.

Come to the stone gorge and in front of the big stone tablet.

This is the moment when the Jade Rabbit is rising high and the moon's essence is rich.

Jade Yuanchan looked out at the Nituo River and could even see lots of moonlight floating like silk, falling into the river.

That was a monster in the water refining the moonlight and cultivating immortality.

Although the giant turtle carrying the stele was sleeping, absorbing the essence of the moon had become its instinct.

At this moment, there were also large patches of moonlight like water, captured by it and flowing over the large stone tablet.

now,

The Jade Yuan Toad stood with its legs spread out, and with a plop, it fell on its back on the huge stone tablet, with its bulging belly bulging out, and it got the moonlight energy refined by the giant turtle carrying the tablet for free.

"Mmm... so comfortable..."

It seemed as if someone was giving her a massage. The Jade Yuan Chan only felt that the moonlight was icy and cool, penetrating into her body.

The obstructed blood vessels and veins became unblocked.

The drop of water essence that was swallowed into the stomach gradually dissipated and was absorbed by the Jade Yuan Toad.

At some point, just when the Jade Yuan Chan was about to fall asleep, a cold wind blew in from the mountains, and the leaves rustled like the laughter of a ghost.

Jade Yuanchan opened her eyes and saw a hazy ghost tiptoeing towards her in the distance.

"Ghost?"

The Jade Yuan Chan felt the breath of the mountain lion from the ghost.

The ghost stopped dozens of feet away, knelt down respectfully towards the Jade Yuan Chan, then landed in front of the Jade Yuan Chan and presented a fang with both hands.

"The mountain king specially asked me to come here to congratulate you on the promotion of the Immortal Sect. This item is the mountain king's replacement tooth. It is also a rare treasure in the Qi training realm."

Jade Yuanchan was a little surprised when he heard this. He never thought that this tiger could be so sensible.

After thinking for a while, the Jade Yuanchan spat out a fist-sized clam pearl that was emitting a faint white light from the strange bag in its throat as a return gift, and signaled the ghost to give it to the mountain king.

The world of cultivating immortals is not all about fighting and killing, but about the love and sophistication of the world.

Having a tiger as a friendly neighbor will bring you many conveniences.

After all, you live by the mountain, live by the water.

In the future, they will inevitably share what they have, exchange supplies, and even cooperate to kill the enemy like the golden eagle.

Speaking of the golden eagle, Biyu Yuanchan remembered that he hadn't seen the golden eagle for some months.

I don’t know if there was any accident, or if he was still refining Wang Yu’s foundation of Taoism.

After all, for monsters, birth, aging, sickness and death are more direct than for humans.

The evil ghost turned into a breeze and left.

The Jade Yuanchan looked at the fang carefully.

It's a pity that the monsters are not good at refining weapons and elixirs, and the Jade Yuan Chan doesn't even know some basic knowledge of cultivating immortals.

I can't see the magical use of this fang.

"When you become stronger, why not kidnap a cultivator and have him preach to you?"

The Jade Yuan Chan thought for a moment, put it into the strange bag in its throat, then tilted its head back and continued to digest the water crystal bead.
