A Mutation with a Minor Flaw

High in the sky, atop a flying boat.

"That Feng Three Breaths is really useless. He can't even find a mechanical inheritance, and instead, he and my sister got a humiliating defeat."

Mu Qianqian shook her head, her face full of disgust.

After a moment, his gaze fell on Qin Jiuxiao, sized him up for a moment, and then he changed the subject and said:

"But this old fellow isn't entirely useless; at least he did accomplish something."

"Jiuxiao, how are you today?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiuxiao hurriedly said:

"Reporting to Master, there has been some change compared to yesterday, but it is quite minor."

Mu Qianqian nodded. At this moment, Qin Jiuxiao turned to ask:

"Master, where are we going next?"

"I have no plans for now, so I'll go back and rest first," Mu Qianqian thought for a moment.

At this moment, both of them, except for Mo Gen, exchanged glances with Qin Jiuxiao.

Then, Qin Jiuxiao said:

"During this journey, I've noticed many flying boats heading in the same direction. Perhaps something has happened. I think it might be worthwhile to inquire with someone. If it's something important, I might be able to participate."

After saying that, Qin Jiuxiao waited for Mu Qianqian's response.

Going back like this is clearly something they're unwilling to do.

Although his master was powerful, after following him for so long, upon reflection, he realized that he was always the one giving to his master, while his master's feedback to him was rather minimal.

Spiritual practice is ultimately for oneself.

Despite all the hard work, I still haven't been able to conceive. I need to try and create some opportunities for myself.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of such a powerful master.

"Junior Brother's observation is very meticulous," Mo Gen said in a deep voice from the side.

"There are no teleportation arrays nearby, nor any major powers. This direction leads to the ocean where the siren live. It's unusual to see so many people traveling in mid-air."

What's going on with the Sirens?

Mu Qianqian spoke softly, looking at Mo Gen, and said:

"Go find a flying boat and ask."

Mo Gen nodded, then got up and left the flying boat.

A short while later, Mo Gen continued on his journey and said:

"Master, we've found out that Heaven and Earth Phenomenon has occurred at sea. It's said to have a significant impact, but most of these people don't know the specifics; they're just going to join the fun or get a head start."

"It's at sea again, and Heaven and Earth Phenomenon again," Mu Qianqian said softly.

Could it be that another hidden spot has appeared?

After a moment of contemplation, as if pondering something, Mu Qianqian said:

"Come on, I'll take you to see it."

Mountain and Sea Village.

"There are indeed connections between different paths."

Looking at Huang Pi, who had taken out his alchemy furnace and was using it as a large cauldron, Lu Changzhi nodded slightly.

It would be more professional to let Luo Ling'er do this kind of thing.

However, considering that the immortal would still need to have a deep physical contact with the villagers, Lu Changzhi put this idea aside.

Normally, this giant loach is considered a highly nutritious food by the villagers. If Ling'er were to cook it, she might easily overdo it.

Just then, a system voice suddenly sounded in my ear:

"Respected sir, your Black Freak, Qin Jiuxiao, has yielded a new opportunity. Would you like to examine it?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi's heart stirred slightly.

"Speaking of which, these black chives haven't produced any useful opportunities in a long time."

The most recent opportunity was one of destruction followed by reconstruction, but it was clearly something only Qin Jiuxiao himself could enjoy.

I wonder if this presents a valuable opportunity.

At that moment, with a thought, Qin Jiuxiao's information about his opportunity appeared before Lu Changzhi's eyes.

[Qin Jiuxiao's Fortuitous Opportunity]

[Opportunity Details: Five days and four hours later, in the Southeastern Sea Region, after soaking and refining in Holy Water, the physical body undergoes a mutation with minor flaws. The hardness of the body when activated with the Hard and Unyielding Physique will be greatly increased, comparable to that of powerful Beast Race of the same realm.]

"Um?"

Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow.

"Another opportunity to be enjoyed all by myself? But this one, well, it's..."

Lu Changzhi thought about the concept mentioned by the system for a moment, and then a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"This mutation seems a bit too powerful?"

It should be understood that the strength of the Beast Race lies mainly in their physical bodies. Ordinary Beast Race may find it difficult to withstand sharp weapons, but those stronger and more outstanding Beast Race can completely withstand attacks with their bare bodies. Their defensive capabilities are so strong that even some Human Race cultivators who specialize in body tempering cannot compare to them.

Just as Sea Race have unparalleled advantages in the ocean, this is the difference between different groups.

Although Qin Jiuxiao Hard and Unyielding Physique, he had not utilized it specifically, and his physical strength was not even comparable to that of some cultivators who had refined their bodies.

The current mutation, relatively speaking, represents a significant improvement, far beyond a small one; it's a giant leap forward.

"However, it seems no minor flaws were mentioned."

After looking at it repeatedly, Lu Changzhi gently shook his head.

After a little thought, I realized that the minor flaws were insignificant compared to such a significant improvement.

"It's this mutation." Lu Changzhi looked at the words with some curiosity:

"System, is it because he is Qin Jiuxiao, or because of this Holy Water?"

"Reporting to Master," the system replied.

"It's because of the Holy Water."

"Then what exactly is this Holy Water?" Lu Changzhi pressed.

"Master, Holy Water needs to be within a certain range before it can be analyzed," the system replied.

Lu Changzhi nodded and used the information he had obtained to check his exact location.

Yes, it extends into the vast ocean in the distance. Judging from its angle, it is almost parallel to the sea surface, and the distance is not just a little bit.

"It doesn't seem to offer any benefit, so let's just forget about it."

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment.

"However, if Qi Zhan is also going, then we could consider it."

Ever since I experienced direct teleportation using Qi Zhan as a stepping stone, and Descent using a disciple, traveling has become rather time-consuming and laborious.

Just then, Huang Pi, with a beaming smile, quickly stepped forward carrying a bowl of soup and said:

"Young master, would you like to try some?"

Lu Changzhi snapped out of his daze, looked down at the fragrant, white fish head soup in the bowl, took it, and tasted it.

Using the alchemy furnace as a pot, and employing the methods of refining medicine to stew soup, creates a unique flavor.

While it may not be perfect, it is quite unique.

"Good."

Lu Changzhi nodded:

"He has potential."

Upon hearing this, Huang Pi's expression brightened with joy.

Just as he was about to say "Thank you for your praise, young master," Huang Pi suddenly woke up with a start.

What was all that excitement about? I didn't come here to be someone's servant!

How could a mighty Saint King lose his backbone so easily!

"Huang Pi, oh Huang Pi, how did you become like this!"

Suddenly, a profound question arose in Huang Pi's heart.

The next moment, however, it seemed as if another voice emerged:

"What if Lu Yuan also likes fish soup?"

After a moment of Celestial Person turmoil, Huang Pi forced himself to accept the soup bowl and said:

"I'll go and serve you another bowl, young master."
