Struck It Rich!
Dragon Spirit Silk? The Fat Catfish raised its Long Whiskers, listening intently.
"You mean it's a spirit garment?"
Liang Qu looked at the white-clad figure, unable to move in the Water Prison, and gleaned some clues from the name.
"Your Excellency has discerning eyes!" Long Pingjiang clasped his hands in a fist salute. "Compared to the ordinary Dragon Silk, the difference between the Dragon Spirit Silk and the Silver Silk Clothing and Gold Silk Clothing is more than a hundred times greater!"
Why?
"Does Your Excellency know how Mermaid Silk and Dragon Silk are produced?"
"I don't know." Liang Qu became curious. "I only know that ' the South Sea produces Mermaid Silk gauze, which is first woven by the springs to make clothes that will not get wet when submerged in water,' but I have never seen any books on how it is made."
Long Pinghe, who had been listening for a while, craned his neck to interject.
"It's really nothing serious, just the scales of Merfolk!"
Scales?
The Fat Catfish shuddered, its fins pressed tightly against its body, but it immediately remembered that it had no scales.
The thought of Merfolk being captured and killed because of their Mermaid Tear made Liang Qu feel a pang of sympathy, as if he could see the tragic scene of scattered scales.
"Lord Liang has misunderstood." Seeing Liang Qu's expression, Long Pingjiang immediately guessed what he was thinking. "It's not as cruel as plucking the scales of Merfolk. Such an act is nothing short of killing the fish by draining the pond."
Merfolk never grow old or weak; they molt twice a year, once in March and once in September.
During this time, the Merfolk will collect and disassemble the shed scales, remove the bad and damaged scales, and use a secret recipe to mix some of the Treasure Fish scales and aquatic herbs into the scales, and boil them together to make scale glue.
Then, using the Sea Flower Branch, the scales and glue are stretched into thin, delicate threads in the water. These threads are tough yet unbreakable, and fine yet not sharp. Through the weaving of the mermaids day and night, mermaid Mermaid Silk and Dragon Silk created, which have the miraculous effect of not getting wet when submerged in water.
Therefore, in the entire world, only Merfolk can produce Mermaid Silk. Even if others obtain the secret recipe, they cannot make it without the molting scales of Merfolk.
Liang Qu suddenly realized.
"What about the Dragon Spirit Silk? Could it be that the scales used are different?"
"That's why, when Merfolk grow to adolescence or middle age, some of the scales on their abdomen will be seven-colored. The more Colored Scale, the more attractive they are to the opposite sex."
Every year when it sheds its scales, this part of the Colored Scale does not shed along with the rest of the body. Once damaged, it cannot recover for several years. And it is this part of the Colored Scale that is used to make the Dragon Spirit Silk.
Furthermore, once the Colored Scale are cut off, their spiritual essence will gradually dissipate over time, so enough Colored Scale must be collected in a short period of time to make the finished product, which is a very demanding condition.
Normally, only large settlements of over five thousand people, with a sufficient number of able-bodied men, have the capacity to produce Dragon Spirit Silk. Considering the processes involved and the losses incurred, it's worth a fortune! The appearance of Dragon Spirit Silk in this tribe is truly an unexpected delight; Your Excellency is deeply blessed!
Abundant blessings!
The Fat Catfish puffed out its chest and raised its head, looking up at the Round Head creature digging up the ruins in the distance. Its Long Whiskers swayed, giving it a triumphant air.
The Round Head creature ignored them, used its head to pry open the tiles, found the secret room, and began digging its own way.
Liang Qu had a basic idea, and he pointed to Dragon Spirit Silk, who was unable to move in the Water Prison.
"Since it's a spirit garment, why would it jump onto me on its own?"
The Spirit Artifact are imbued with spirits; their eagerness to pounce upon encountering them is perhaps a bit too much.
"I personally believe that Lord Liang is exceptionally gifted, Dragon Spirit Silk has noticed this?"
Long Pingjiang pondered for a moment, then uttered a sentence.
The Fat Catfish nodded repeatedly.
That makes sense.
Which catfish in the Great Marsh wouldn't give him a sidelong glance? Liang Qu turned his head. "A Fei, where did you find this box?"
The Fat Catfish flicked its fins, pointing towards a well-preserved Merfolk's house in the distance.
Its location is basically at the center of the entire site.
Liang Qu remembered that when [Spirit Transformation] investigated, there was a secret underground room beneath this house.
The Fat Catfish must have remembered when it told the Water Beast.
The group moved to a different location and entered the house, where they indeed found an open underground chamber.
The entrance to the entire secret chamber, which was "widened" by the Fat Catfish, was full of cracks.
It forced its way in, poked its head in, and used its whiskers to pick out the most beautiful and luxurious large box.
"The owners of houses that possess Dragon Spirit Silk are mostly tribal chiefs."
Long Pinghe looked around and made a guess.
Even after being tossed around by Fat Catfish, it didn't collapse; its quality is far superior to other houses.
"Ta Ta Kai!"
Ta Ta Kai from among the many Water Beast, taking the lead and leading his large family into the secret room to ransack it.
After some searching.
In total, they found eleven bolts of Dragon Silk and Mermaid Silk, two boxes of exquisite porcelain, some slightly decayed and ineffective pills, some herbs, a few Merfolk scales, and six Mermaid Tear! Six Mermaid Tear! Liang Qu held the many small bags in his hands, his heart surging with excitement.
Great news! With July approaching, this year's Bing Fire Day will not have the once-in-twenty -Three Suns in the Sky of 23 to 24 years, but there will still be a magnificent two-day sky-piercing spectacle.
He didn't expect to collect a single wisp every ten days, but only hoped to gather one wisp over the entire twenty-odd days of Bing Fire Day, which would increase the amount of Red Qi in his hands to two! Combined with the Spirit Fish generated from the Marsh Essence, it would be enough to elevate the River Lord 'Marsh Spirit to the third level!
Marsh Ape's effortless defeat of the Snake Demon was inseparable from the two pairs of Water Beast that River Lord used as special attacks!
After carefully collecting the Mermaid Tear, Liang Qu focused his gaze on Dragon Spirit Silk.
Long Pinghe suggested, "A mere spirit robe won't do anything to Lord Liang. Why not give it a try?"
Long Pingjiang nodded. "Dragon Spirit Silk is a living spirit garment, and if it is stained with fresh blood, it may have the effect of communicating with the spirit."
After a moment's thought, Liang Qu released the Water Prison from control.
The Dragon Spirit Silk, now free, swayed and floated like a white cloud drifting on the water, stretching out uncertainly, as if checking for any obstacles.
Highly spiritual.
Liang Qu used the Azure Wolf to cut his index finger, drawing two drops of blood.
Blood droplets smudged the surface.
A misty aura swirled around her, and the smooth lines flowed like water. The Dragon Spirit Silk transformed into a white Whirlwind, spreading outwards from the torso to the limbs and enveloping them.
Unleash your senses, and countless threads break and recombine, constantly overlapping and surging as they wander.
From soft to crisp, from loose to fitted, from a flowing white garment to the dark blue casual clothes Liang Qu originally wore! It remained dry even when submerged in water.
Flowing and fluffy.
I feel no discomfort.
The fabric of the clothes was smoother than silk, and the excess fabric was used to make a thick belt to cinch the waist.
"It can change color?"
Liang Qu tugged at his cuffs, and they automatically loosened a bit. With a thought, he could even adjust the matte finish of the cotton and the sheen of the silk.
"The Merfolk's Colored Scale can change color, and the Dragon Spirit Silk inherited this characteristic. Combined with its ability to transform, it can conjure up almost any kind of clothing."
Liang Qu ordered Ta Ta Kai to retrieve his official River Conservancy Office from the Fu boat.
Unfold the official robes.
The Dragon Spirit Silk gauze shimmered and transformed into an indigo official robe, its chest covered with cloud patterns and a Brocade White Fish in the center.
What's even more amazing is that the white fish above rise up with the waves, looking as if they are living creatures swimming, so lifelike!
The white fish swam from its chest to its shoulder, then with a flick of its tail, leaped and landed on its back.
Amazing! Since the Dragon Spirit Silk can change color, it can naturally control the color of different parts to make the Brocade White Fish appear dynamic! An idea popped into Liang Qu's mind.
If the Dragon Spirit Silk were unfolded into a single layer of thick cloth, wouldn't it be possible to create a movie screen that doesn't require projection?
