I Said I Could, So I Could
Night.
Raindrops fell from the sky.
Long Yao and Long Li, having finished their baths, stood under the eaves, gazing into the distance. Although they felt regret that it would rain again and the day they would see fireflies seemed far off, their greatest concern remained for the Elder.
The River God Sacrifice didn't take long. Liang Qu rode back on horseback and entered the pool to seclude himself for a full hour.
For the first quarter of an hour it was still terrifyingly powerful, but for most of the next hour it was completely silent.
Splash! The pool water rippled.
The wary Dragonfolk cast a glance.
A large hand gripped the rock, and he flipped himself Shang An.
Whoosh!
Clear water flowed along every curve of Liang Qu's muscles, gathering at his fingertips and hair ends, dripping in a continuous line, creating puddles.
Long E Ying was about to step forward, but after taking only half a step, she turned her back.
On the mountainside, Long Yao and Long Li, who had originally wanted to get closer, covered their eyes.
Hmm? Liang Qu scratched his temple.
Long Binglin raised his hand and nodded slightly. "Sir, your... clothes."
The rain was falling softly.
After being reminded, Liang Qu suddenly realized that the Rain Water seemed to have bypassed his clothes and hit his body directly.
I looked down.
Hiss! Where is Dragon Spirit Silk? In his excitement at breaking through to the next level, he swam Shang An without realizing that Dragon Spirit Silk had already escaped.
Splash! He turned and plunged into the pool.
Jump to the bottom.
The Dragon Spirit Silk, surging with blue light, sank to the bottom of the pool and remained motionless, showing no sign of flowing or graceful movement.
"Strange, how did it get down by itself?"
I reached out and touched it.
It was incredibly hard.
What happened?
Liang Qu kneaded the Dragon Spirit Silk, much to his surprise.
The original Dragon Spirit Silk was incredibly smooth, but now it seems like silk has turned into steel wire, interwoven into an Cannot Move steel plate.
Look again at the surging blue light.
As if struck by a thought, Liang Qu reached for his waistband.
The three pieces of Vast Sea Azure Gold that Senior Brother Lu had smelted into a plate disappeared.
"Swallowed it?"
Liang Qu frowned, channeling his Qi and Blood to communicate with Dragon Spirit Silk's spirit.
After a while.
His brows relaxed slightly.
"It's actually self-evolution."
Aside from its self-healing ability, the most significant characteristic of Spirit Artifact is that they become stronger with use, and they can be enhanced by infusing them with Qi and Blood.
Therefore, the more Fubo used it, the more comfortable it became, and the sharper it became.
Dragon Spirit Silk had reached a critical point and actively devoured the Vast Sea Azure Gold. Currently, it was in the process of self-digestion and could not move.
The reason for removing it beforehand is to avoid having to wear a steel plate through the beam Liang Qu. After some time, it will return to normal, even better than before! "When one person attains enlightenment, his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."
Liang Qu pondered.
It's not easy to nurture Spirit Weapon and significantly improve it to the point of undergoing a change in level. Only by fusing with the Water King Ape could such a transformation occur.
Looking at Fubo again, Abyssal Wood Bow and the Bloodstone Arm Guard.
Undoubtedly, all the Spirit Weapon have been greatly enhanced and feel better to use.
Aside from the Spirit Weapon, the Azure Wolf, given to them by their senior brother.
The blood used to nourish the Fubo creatures is the best match for Liang Qu, resulting in the best nourishing effect. The Dragon Spirit Silk, Abyssal Wood Bow, and Bloodstone Arm Guard are slightly inferior, but as self-generated creatures, they can also absorb Qi and Blood.
The only exception Azure Wolf, which belongs to a different Spirit Weapon and has extremely poor absorption efficiency.
It doesn't matter.
The Azure Wolf is used to handle many trivial matters, so its strength is not important.
Tell the Dragonfolk brothers to find some clothes and throw them into the pond.
Liang Qu's ducks came Shang An and drained the water.
The Dragon Girl maidens stepped closer.
"Dragon Spirit Silk evolved and separated on her own."
Liang Qu offered the Dragon Spirit Silk in defense.
Long Yao and Long Li looked at each other, raised their hands to touch, and found that it was indeed so.
This Merfolk treasure is as hard as wire; it's impossible to wear.
"Elder, there's no need for you to explain. After spending two months together, you will naturally know Elder person you are," Long E Ying said.
Liang Qu was greatly relieved, but then he turned around and gave Long Yao and Long Li a good scolding.
"Look, look! Your Sister E Ying and I haven't spent as much time together as the two of you!"
Long Yao and Long Li knew that the Elder was referring to the matter of inquiring about the concubine the day before. They put their hands behind their backs, remained silent, and drew circles with their toes.
Long Binglin laughed and said, "Congratulations on your progress in martial arts, Elder. Even Yan Rui, who Qi Consumption, has never put so much pressure on me. I'm afraid an ordinary Grandmaster would be no match for Elder!"
"Grandmaster..."
Liang Qu thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Not enough for now."
Not enough? Temporarily?
Long Binglin noticed two keywords and was greatly surprised.
If he's not Great Demon or Grandmaster, why does he give off such a strong sense of pressure?
What does "temporarily" mean?
While pondering.
The sound of rain grew louder, and my ears were filled with the sound of water.
Long E Ying asked, "When will the Elder return to the manor?"
Liang Qu looked around and laughed, "Didn't we agree that we'd go back whenever we saw the Flowing Light Sea? What, you don't want to see it anymore?"
Long E Ying shook her head.
"Elder, there is no need to accommodate us. It would be a waste of time. You should take the lead."
Long Yao and Long Li were greatly disappointed, but they knew in their hearts that this was indeed the case.
The day before yesterday, heavy rains left the ground damp and the valley still not completely dry.
In the second half of today's event, once the ground and shrubs are completely dry and all the fireflies have emerged, it will take at least three or four days.
It remains to be seen whether anything unexpected will happen after this, or whether we will have waited in vain.
The Elder 'Huazhu to conduct the grand ceremony is an official matter, and it's not good to delay it for too long.
It is true that Liang Qu was willing to accompany him.
People need to know themselves.
One time is fine, but if you force yourself too much, you'll gradually become disliked.
"You're worried about this?" Liang Qu roughly understood what they were thinking and turned to ask Long Binglin, "What time is it?"
Long Binglin said, "Initially entering the Human Stillness."
"It's just the beginning of the Human Stillness... not until Zi Hour." Liang Qu knew what was going on. "I've heard that the fireflies at Spirit Valley Temple are different from those elsewhere, remaining very active even at Hai hour and Zi Hour. If the rumors are true, we'll be able to see them today."
"Today?" Long Li looked up. "Elder, it's still raining. There's no sunshine in the valley, and it's unlikely there will be any the day after tomorrow."
Liang Qu grinned.
"If I say it's possible, then it's possible."
Snap! The fingers snapped.
The group suddenly felt a gentle breeze on their faces.
The rain suddenly stopped.
Long Binglin's pupils dilated, and when he reached out to touch it, he couldn't touch even a single raindrop.
After taking a few breaths, I was even more surprised to find that not only the rain, but even the stuffiness in the air had disappeared! I looked around.
A faint light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black world.
Long E Ying looked up, her dark eyes reflecting the cool moonlight.
There was a small, almost transparent patch in the dark gray clouds.
The cold light pierced through the pale, gray clouds, brightening people's hearts with joy, like candlelight burning through silk or moonlight shining through the gaps in the clouds, rapidly expanding. Beyond the silvery-white cold light, a corner of the pale purple starry sky, as if washed clean, appeared.
Everyone stared in astonishment at the ever-changing sky.
Long Yao and Long Li took a half step back, keenly sensing the unusual movement beneath their feet.
The soft, muddy soil, soaked by Rain Water, transforms into hard, dry clumps of earth, which the soft soles of the feet can clearly feel through the shoes.
Bowing his head.
The land of the Kuroshio Current has dried up and turned yellow.
The wet green leaves, glistening with dew, stand upright again, becoming verdant and glossy.
Even the mud on the toes of the embroidered shoes had disappeared.
The weather has cleared up...
It wasn't the clearing after a sudden rainstorm, but rather a bright, sunny day after days of scorching heat, with perfect sunshine and dry air! The Dragon Girl leaned closer and spoke slightly.
Not only the Dragonfolk, but even the fireflies were baffled. They tentatively crawled out of the cracks in the rocks, but dared not fly rashly. They crawled around, gathering information.
Liang Qu waited quietly.
The Dragon Girl held her breath.
Two points of light suddenly leaped up in the darkness, glowing with a faint fluorescent green.
Two points of light intertwined and flickered, seeking a companion in the vast and tranquil world.
The wind flows gently, bringing swaying to the mountains and forests and echoing through the empty valley.
The bamboo shoots, having absorbed enough Rain Water, slowly rose from the soil. The Rain Water remaining in the gaps between the bamboo leaves seeped into the earth, awakening the dormant fireflies.
Patches of green light drifted out from the gaps, swaying and reflecting off the bushes.
Russia.
The flowing light merges into the sea, and the waves rise and fall silently.
