Half a month later.
As large bubbles gurgled up from the bottom of the river, the king tuna was hit hard by the torpedo gun again. Its eyes gradually dimmed, and it turned up its white belly and floated to the surface of the river.
The Jade Yuan Toad kept moving and croaked a few times, attracting the torpedo gun, which repeatedly shocked the king tuna until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It only stopped when it was almost cooked through.
"call……"
As soon as the Jade Yuanchan's nerves relaxed, it felt an unprecedented tiredness and fatigue.
My mind felt as if it was filled with mortar and was extremely heavy.
Even controlling the water has become extremely difficult.
In the past half month, the original body has been almost sleepless, controlling the clone and enduring this king tuna.
This can be said to be the toughest battle that Jade Yuanchan has ever fought in his life!
After recovering some energy, the Jade Yuan Chan climbed onto the belly of the king tuna.
The golden eagle descended and dug its claws into the charred belly of the fish.
The golden eagle's feathers were disheveled, its lightning flashed and flickered, and its eyes became listless.
After being trained for half a month, it is a little exhausted.
This time, the Jade Yuan Chan signaled the golden eagle to choose the parts of the king tuna first, and it fell into the water and swam towards the large stone tablet in the stone gorge.
Behind the Jade Yuan Chan, the golden eagle let out a loud and excited cry, and couldn't wait to enjoy this tremendous wealth.
Shixia is full of rocks formed by the erosion of river water.
Many barnacles and algae cling to the stone bottom.
The Jade Yuanchan stepped over the cold stones and came to the big stone tablet.
This large stone tablet stood at an angle. It was more than two meters long and nine feet wide. It was pale yellow in color, and half of the tablet had fallen into the water.
The surface of the huge stone tablet is covered with all kinds of strange patterns, perhaps due to wind, sun, and erosion by river water.
The Jade Yuanchan's forelimbs brushed against the stone tablet, and it immediately felt cold.
"Can this thing help digestive tract-based things?"
The Jade Yuan Chan thought for a moment, then spat out a spirit-capturing lantern from its mouth, as if it was about to swallow it in one gulp.
"You little demon, you dare to eat anything of the Dao base, are you trying to save your life?"
At that moment, a muffled sound came from the bottom of the water. The Jade Yuan Chan was startled and immediately bounced out and fell into the water ten feet away.
Crash! The stone gorge pile began to shake violently, followed by flying rocks and rising dust. A giant turtle carrying a stele slowly stood up from the bottom of the river.
Large amounts of barnacles and associated aquatic products fell from the rocky gorge.
The surface of the river seemed to be dropping a little, and the body of the Jade Yuan Chan slid uncontrollably towards the giant turtle carrying the stele.
When it looked up, it could only see the giant turtle's legs, which were covered with dense scales, each one was ten feet square and covered with rocks and algae.
Only by taking a few steps back can you barely see the whole picture.
That gigantic glans head was like the sky bowing its head, blocking out the sun. On either side of its nose, there were two divine rays like flying rainbows, shining without fire, dancing in the air like silk.
With dragon horns on its head and feathers under its jaw, it already possessed the posture of a dragon! And that pile of rocks turned out to be the tortoise shell that the giant turtle had shed! Seeing this, the Jade Yuanchan was stunned.
Xuanwu wearing Xuanwu armor?
What kind of self-reliance is this, not letting go of any defensive power...
The giant turtle carrying the monument did not stand up completely after all. It seemed more like it had woken up from a long sleep and wanted to change its sleeping position.
It entered the water again, and the river water surged, making the Jade Yuanchan dizzy.
But then, a soft force came, smoothing the surface of the river, and then caught the jade Yuanchan and threw it back in front of the big stone tablet.
"Don't move. Let me see you."
The sound of the giant turtle carrying the stele was heard, and then the turtle raised its head and turned its head to the side. Its weathered eyes reflected the figure of the Jade Yuan Toad.
“Hmm… He is the descendant of that old toad for countless generations. Judging from his bloodline, he is a Jade Yuan Toad.
Hiss, that's not right. Judging from your aura, you are obviously visualizing the ancestral demon and taking the path of returning to your ancestors by eating blood. How come you are still so smart?"
The giant turtle carrying the stele looked at the jade toad over and over again, with a hint of curiosity in its eyes, as if it had not seen such a rare thing for many years.
Old toad?
Uh... Could it be that this giant turtle has seen the thousand-year-old toad that failed to survive the catastrophe in the phantom of his own bloodline? It is indeed a thousand-year-old tortoise. This giant turtle carrying the monument has lived for many years. It is probably the original inhabitant of the Red Wave Sea in the catastrophe area, and was thrown down by the Earth Mother when she was walking.
Faced with this old monster, the Jade Yuan Chan didn't dare to act rashly, nor did he have any thoughts of hiding his mind. He just lay obediently in front of the big stone tablet.
"The foundation of Taoism contains everything. But only flesh and spirit can be directly consumed. The rest of the foundation of Taoism, such as metal, stone, and alien limbs, can only be used for other purposes."
The voice of the giant turtle carrying the stele came faintly, "If you want to swallow the things of the Tao foundation, you can come when I attract the moonlight and the sun. The magic power I breathe in and out will be of great benefit to you in refining the things of the Tao foundation.
It's rare to see a toad demon that actually knows tactics and is smarter than humans. Don't die too early. Jump around for two more days for me, Old Ao, to see..."
"It's just a pity that sooner or later, you will lose your mind and forget about the future, and you will also forget about me, Old Ao..."
As it spoke, the giant turtle carrying the stele became somewhat bored, and slowly closed its eyes like a rolling shutter.
Eventually it sank to the bottom of the river again.
The waves surged and the water level gradually rose.
After a moment, the Jade Yuan Chan slowly raised its head.
This giant turtle carrying the stele seems to be following the path of abstaining from killing, maintaining abiding by nature, and seeking the way of nature.
As expected, he is an immortal species, so he has advantages.
Moreover, it comprehends nature, and the Jade Yuanchan is also a natural thing.
There is actually a symbiotic and mutually beneficial relationship between the two.
Jade Yuanchan understood and felt relieved.
After taking back the spirit-capturing lantern, Jade Yuan Chan saw that the golden eagle had already flown far away and was still looking at the large stone tablet with a little fear.
It was not until a long time later that the golden eagle landed again under the urging of the Jade Yuanchan's croaking.
It stood on the body of the king tuna, but only ate a few bites of the meat. Instead, it moved hesitantly, bit by bit, towards the pair of dark green eyes of the king tuna.
The golden eagle obviously took a fancy to Wang Yu's Taoist item. The pair of fish eyes had a huge attraction to it.
Jade Yuanchan hesitated for a moment.
It's not that it's reluctant to part with this foundation, but this golden eagle doesn't have the magic cultivation method, nor can it follow the natural way. If it continues to devour monsters like this and use them to strengthen itself, it will probably have to go down the path of blood-eating and reverting to its ancestral roots.
By then, the golden eagle will have lost all its intelligence and will no longer remember its friendship. Instead, it will probably eat the jade toad.
"If there is a chance, give it this demon cultivation technique. Even though I don't need it, it will be helpful to learn about various ways and apply it to myself."
Jade Yuanchan thought silently.
Then it croaked, signaling the golden eagle to take away the fish eye.
With the permission from the Jade Yuan Chan, the golden eagle was ecstatic. It folded its wings and flew several circles around the king tuna.
It bit off three feathers from under its neck and placed them in front of the Jade Yuan Toad.
It was seen that this feather was slightly smaller than the golden eagle's wing feathers. The feathers were soft and fluffy, the feather roots were as hard as iron, and the whole body was golden. There was even a faint electric light flashing deep in the feathers, which slightly increased the temperature of the air near the feathers.

As soon as the golden eagle bit off the three golden feathers, it looked tired and listless. After taking out the fish eye, it flew away staggeringly.
Well, first it was the dragon crocodile skin, then the crab claws, the spirit-capturing lantern, and now this golden light feather.
This world of monsters is indeed full of opportunities. If you use your brain a little, you can become rich.
The Jade Yuanchan sighed a few times and began to eat silently.
This Wang Yui was so arrogant before, he deserves to be severely punished with gold coins!
The fish meat falls into the stomach and is digested quickly, with a large amount of warm current flowing.
At the same time, it fed back a large amount of essence and blood to Li Qinglin.
[Qi and blood +1]
[Qi and blood +1]
[Mercury Blood +1]
…
[Precious Blood +4]
The Jade Yuan Chan reacted suddenly.
Precious blood?
Isn't this a wonderful seed that can only be refined by a marrow-refining warrior? Burning the bone marrow and exerting the profound meaning, the foundation is this precious blood!
As long as the precious blood continues to flow, the mysterious meaning will never be extinguished!
In the ordinary marrow refining realm, due to the lack of precious blood, one can only refine one kind of mysterious effect.
It could be raging fire, ice, or strong wind...
But if the blood keeps flowing...
But at this time, Jade Yuanchan had no time to think too much.
This king tuna contained too much nutrients, and the feeling of foreign body in Jade Yuanchan's brain became stronger and stronger, as if something was about to grow out!
At the same time, a strong sense of sleepiness came over me.
It quickly ate up all the king tuna, then climbed ashore, moved its limbs quickly, dug a hole in the sand, and buried itself in it.
Falling into a deep sleep.
…
Time passes and years go by.
I didn’t realize spring was gone because of the continuous rain, and only realized how deep the summer afternoon was when it cleared up.
It has been more than four months since Li Qinglin obtained two pairs of anklets and mastered the secret art of Shenzutong.
The scorching sun hung high in the sky, and mountain-like fiery clouds covered the outside of the Yifeng Tower.
All the grass and trees were burnt, but the Yifeng Tower was exceptionally cool. Li Qinglin and several colleagues from the Ministry of Justice, including Jin Qiandai, Bai Jing, and Xiao Yuanshan, were kneeling in a small elegant room hidden among the green pines and bamboos.
There was a handsome waiter who knelt on the ground and took out the cooled wine bottles, bowls and chopsticks from the ice jar.
The tight thin shirt made her buttocks look shockingly peach-shaped, with faint ravines visible.
The silk fan was swaying gently, and the sound of a plaintive pipa came from the dance pavilion not far away.
Jin Qiandai raised the wine bottle, signaled to Li Qinglin, and then drank it in one gulp, "Thank you Brother Li for helping me last time and scaring away the master's sword. Otherwise, I would be dead, but those brothers are still young. If anything happens to them, I will not rest in peace!"
"But it's so hard to get an appointment with Brother Li. He doesn't even show up at the office. He's like a mysterious dragon that can't be found!"
Jin Qiandai was the golden-headed man that Li Qinglin met by chance on his way to kill his master.
At that time, he was knocked away by the aftermath of the fight between the two and was seriously injured. He only fully recovered a few days ago.
At this point, he completely gave up the idea of competing with Li Qinglin. Instead, he specially invited Li Qinglin to a banquet and thanked him in person.
However, during this period of time, Li Qinglin stayed at home, concentrating on controlling the Jade Yuan Toad, and almost turned down all trivial matters, causing him to be rejected several times.
Bai Jing and Xiao Yuanshan were the military officers who were responsible for the assessment when Li Qinglin went to the Ministry of Justice.
He was also invited here by Jin Qiandai.
"Brother Jin, you are too polite. This is my job. Why should I thank you? Let's drink this glass of wine together!"
Li Qinglin smiled lightly, picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
A glass of wine can dispel a thousand worries, and what's more, for Li Qinglin, there is no hatred between the two of them at all.
The atmosphere became increasingly lively as the wine became more popular, and the waiter brought a few cups of cold sake.
The Yifeng Tower is located on a main road, not far from the Wulao Qingxinzhai, just two streets away.
If there is any danger, they can immediately seek help, which is why Li Qinglin agreed to come here for 'tea'.
After all, serious matters are not discussed at the office desk, but over drinks in teahouses.
