Dream Butterfly
Three Long Qi intertwined and flowed.
The Marsh Essence collided with the cauldron, splashing up a fluorescent blue light.
A full 60,000! Apart from the brief surge to a staggering 70,000 after consuming the snake gall, there has never been a second peak in reserves exceeding this level! In the past, Liang Qu would have been ecstatic beyond measure.
But now.
"Not enough..."
Liang Qu sighed.
During the fourth stage, suddenly obtaining over a hundred points of Marsh Essence is something to celebrate.
It is truly remarkable that thousands of Galloping Horse at once.
But now he is Wolf Smoke Martial Master, with a bunch of Great Monster Spirit under his command. He is about to advance to the ranks of mid-level officials, and can command hundreds of soldiers, a dozen galloping Galloping Horse, and several Wolf Smoke Expert at will, without having to ask his superiors for permission.
It can be described as majestic and imposing.
It wouldn't be considered outstanding in Pingyang Prefecture, but in any other place, even in a strong county like Huazhu that had never suffered disasters in the past and had a dozen or so Wolf Smoke Expert fire-beacon operators, it could still be used to launch a flanking maneuver.
If I had held this official position last year, with the ability and manpower, Yu Dayi of Hua Zhu County would never have dared to shirk responsibility to my face.
Anyone who dares to speak loudly loses.
However, the first evolution of the Water Beast under his command only requires eighty essence points.
The second evolution reached 1,500, the third 8,000, and an evolutionary branch appeared. The fourth evolution reached 18,000, and the evolutionary branch reappeared, leaping to the middle stage of the Great Monster Spirit, that is, the middle stage of the Wolf Smoke.
By the fifth time, it would cost a whopping 25,000!
Sixty thousand essences.
few.
Too little.
According to the rules of hierarchical advancement, it shouldn't jump to the category of Water Demon, but should evolve into the peak of Great Monster Spirit.
Sixty thousand Marsh Essence are barely enough to evolve the two Water Beast under my command.
Not to mention the degree of fusion with Marsh Spirit, this true gold-devouring behemoth has not yet awakened.
Whoosh!
The tortoise, attempting to build a four-story pagoda, slipped and its three top heads collapsed into the water, creating ripples.
The Old Toad, who had been sleeping on a round rock, suddenly stopped snoring and instinctively reached out a claw to scratch its round belly.
He murmured twice and then continued snoring.
Liang Qu burst out laughing.
Looking up at the cold moon, my hot and restless heart gradually calmed down.
"They're not satisfied at all."
The Great Martial Master is already the strongest fighter below the Grandmaster.
On the Jiang Huai Great Marsh, the Southern Frog Northern Fish fought fiercely for the blessing of the strange phenomenon. Dozens of Water Demon fought to the death, their brains spilling out.
Despite the grand scale of the event, the Great Demon was nowhere to be seen.
This is just one example.
Five evolutions, totaling just over 50,000 units of Marsh Essence, can transform an ordinary Big Fish into a peak -Great Monster Spirit.
Its price-performance ratio is unprecedented.
Ordinary Martial Master could never evolve from commoners to the same level by consuming corresponding Treasure Plant! This is like Liang Qu, who received double the benefits, and more! Evolution through the Marsh Essence is definitely a highly efficient path to advancement!
"Call!"
He exhaled a breath of hot air.
Liang Qu absorbed the abundant medicinal power brought by the Treasure Fish and Treasure Plant, and his strength improved even more.
A thought struck me.
In one corner of the pond, a large, Fat Worm, thrashing and splashing, dives into the water and swims towards Liang Qu with a stretching and contracting motion.
Mirage Worm!
After two evolutions, the Mirage Worm requires 8,000 essence points for the third time, which Liang Qu has been reluctant to give.
It's enough, after all.
Like the Red Mountain, the Mirage Worm is a functional Water Beast.
One specializes in practicing martial arts by exhaling mist, while the other uses it for transportation to travel swiftly and freely, unable to earn income by going into the water.
If you have enough resources, continuously investing in evolution will only lead to diminishing marginal returns.
The Mirage Worm, in particular, grows alone without evolving and exhibits almost no fighting prowess, which makes people feel uneasy.
However, the fact that observing the strange phenomena gave rise to a spiritual image brought Liang Qu an unexpected surprise.
Outsiders were astonished by his spiritual manifestation and spread the word, Guan Congjian to issue a challenge.
Little did Liang Qu know that he himself was just as puzzled.
He clearly had no enlightenment, yet a spiritual phenomenon arose within him! This was so bizarre, coupled with the strange and familiar pavilions and buildings on the Immortal Island.
Even though the Mirage Worm itself knew nothing when questioned, Liang Qu still felt that it had greater untapped potential!
Communicate with Ze Cauldron.
[It consumes 7,112 points of Marsh Essence to help the Mirage Worm grow.]
Normally Treasure Fish eats very little of the scraps Mirage Worm, and the main food is mostly from the Fat Catfish, resulting in only a small reduction in food costs, barely reaching 1,000.
Without hesitation, over seven thousand Marsh Essence were instantly poured in.
Add charcoal to the Furnace, let it burn fiercely, and forge fine steel!
Golden light surged and enveloped the Fat Worm.
"No trace of light?"
Liang Qu knew that Mirage Worm were special, but he didn't expect them to be this special. Was it that they didn't exist, or that their nodes were different? He pondered for a long time.
The thick cocoon of light broke apart.
In its third evolution, the Mirage Worm became leaner and more slender.
It no longer resembles a chubby white worm, but rather appears somewhat "agile".
The White Jade Armor on its head extended to one-third of its length, shimmering with light, and its entire body was enveloped in a dreamlike aura.
Inquire about the Mirage Worm.
No special abilities were displayed; the quality of the white mist alone was superior.
After a moment's thought.
[This consumes 18,000 points of Marsh Essence to help the Mirage Worm grow.]
The third evolution is a special point in time, and it still cannot make the Mirage Worm evolve.
Liang Qu felt a slight toothache.
I glanced at the remaining 50,000+ Marsh Essence in Ze Cauldron.
Keep going! Throw it again!
Take a gamble, and you might turn a donkey into a BMW! Eighteen thousand points of Marsh Essence disappeared from the cauldron, and the fluorescent blue water level plummeted.
Three beams of light slowly rose from the cauldron.
It's here!
Liang Qu was overjoyed. The evolutionary essence of the Mirage Worm had appeared, but it was a step too late! Fortunately, it wasn't nonexistent.
Consciousness touch.
[Mirror Flower, Water Moon]
Dreaming a Thousand Years
[Dream Butterfly]
"[Mirror Flower, Water Moon], increases the realism of dreams, and makes life and death intertwined."
"[Dreaming a Thousand Years], increasing dream immersion, decay and destruction?"
Liang Qu was initially confused.
Upon closer inspection, differences were found between the two.
[Mirror Flower, Water Moon] is designed to enhance the realism of the illusion, causing death in the dream to result in decay in reality as well, the difference being that no wounds are visible on the physical body.
Simply put, it means brain death, the demise of consciousness.
In other words, if the Mirage Worm does not control the concentration of the white fog, Liang Qu may be forced to fight and behead someone in his dream, and he may truly fall into a deep sleep forever.
However, the feedback from martial arts training is bound to be closer to the real world. The closer it is to reality, the stronger the effect of time-difference training will undoubtedly be, making it the fastest track within the fast track.
A double-edged sword.
"Not very useful..."
A wise person does not stand under a dangerous wall.
The path is safe to walk on; it's a shortcut.
It's dangerous.
Forget it.
It's not that there are no main roads to take.
Liang Qu has no shortage of time; with the Heavenly Water Morning Dew in its hands, it can transform into Water Travel Thousand Miles at any moment.
It is not advisable to attack, but it is advisable to defend.
No one, not even a demon, can be caught.
In addition, the fusion with Marsh Spirit grants an exceptionally long lifespan...
Conversely, "Dreaming a Thousand Years" increases the "pulsation" of the dream.
It's like increasing the dosage of "sleeping pills" to prevent a person from waking up normally, causing the body to gradually decay and die.
This is easy to understand; a person in a vegetative state will die if not intubated.
Both can lead to death due to dreams, but the underlying causes are different.
They all possess powerful talents, including a unique dream poison, and can sit at the same table as Awei.
But this is still not the answer Liang Qu is looking for.
Consciousness touched the third ray of light.
[Dream Butterfly]
[I Butterfly Dream, and I dreamt of a butterfly. Dream Entry, I might be briefly guided to the Mirage Clan Ancestral Grounds, the Cloud Cottage Immortal Island, where I would receive a spiritual baptism.]
It gleamed with a brilliant light, its color Azure Gold.
In an instant.
Liang Qu relaxed completely and bent his back.
25,000 essences.
Found it!
