Inside the palace.
After standing on the frozen wall, I felt the penetrating chill of the ice.
Jiang Ning raised his head and punched.
Boom——
The fist fell, and the ice broke instantly, and then he took out the blue-black scale in the ice.
"Old turtle, feel how many years the owner of this scale has practiced."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" the old turtle responded immediately.
Then it took the blue-black scale in Jiang Ning's hand and smelled it carefully.
"Returning to the Lord is about three hundred years of Taoism!"
When Jiang Ning heard this, he nodded slightly.
"It seems that the monsters here are not very good." He couldn't help but murmur in his mind.
Both the old turtle and the electric eel had practiced Taoism for more than two hundred years, and they had no power to resist in front of him.
With more than 300 years of Taoism, which is just tens or even hundreds of years ahead of the old turtle and the electric eel, his strength is at most comparable to the fifth level of inner strength, and most likely still not as good as him.
Subsequently.
He kept his eyes open, glanced around, and his eyes suddenly became focused.
The subtle changes in his eyes were seen by the old turtle who was secretly observing.
"My lord, have you discovered anything new?"
The old turtle secretly stuffed the cyan scale into its shell, then moved its limbs to get closer.
"There is a new discovery!" Jiang Ning smiled.
With his clairvoyance, he saw a fish hidden under the soil buried in the ruins, a fish the size of a palm.
His figure flashed.
Just above where the fish was hiding.
"Old turtle, dig down a foot!" Jiang Ning said.
"Okay!!" When the old turtle saw that Jiang Ning didn't pay attention to the scale it was hiding, he immediately paddled over.
When it came to where Jiang Ning was standing, its body suddenly began to grow larger.
In the blink of an eye.
The old turtle became three feet long.
It waved its forelimbs and began to dig into the soil. The solid soil was as soft as tofu in its hands.
"Don't kill me!!"
"Don't kill me!!!"
Just after digging seven or eight feet deep, there were trembling sounds from beneath the soil.
But the sound is very pleasant and crisp.
It's obviously a female fish.
"Come out!" Jiang Ning said.
There was no movement at all below.
Under the soil layer.
A dragon carp with golden-red scales all over its body and a tail like red clouds was trembling constantly.
She was very scared at this time.
She didn't know if the demonic dragon had come back to kill him again.
"If you don't come out, I will come down myself!" A threatening voice came from above the head. The dragon carp couldn't help but tremble again, and the red clouds on its tail were like shaking chaff.
The next moment.
Close your eyes and flick your tail to reopen the shackles of the earth.
above the soil layer.
Jiang Ning saw the soil shaking slightly in the pit where the old turtle had been thrown away.
Then a gold and red fish head poked out.
On the fish's head, the two eyes are obviously strong, and under the eyes, there seems to be red clouds as eye shadow.
Subsequently.
The palm-sized fish broke free from the soil and appeared in Jiang Ning's sight.
The whole body of the little fish is covered with golden-red fish scales, and its tail fin is like red clouds. In the dim puddle, this little fish is as gorgeous as a gem, with a shimmer of light emitting.
Jiang Ning's eyes flashed with surprise.
He had never seen such a beautiful carp before.
This is a dragon carp! !
At this time, he thought of the records in the books.
It is small in size, with a tail like red clouds and golden-red scales all over its body.
Based on the memory in his mind, Jiang Ning recognized that this was very similar to the dragon and carp recorded in the book.
A trace of surprise flashed through his heart.
Because according to the records in the book, fish like dragon and carp have extraordinary bloodline, and it is said that they have the bloodline of a real dragon.
This means that the dragon carp is qualified to transform into a real dragon.
"Hello!!" The dragon carp dug through the soil and saw Jiang Ning and Lao Turtle above the pit, and couldn't help but become a little nervous.
"You little demon, how many years of practice have you had?" Jiang Ning asked.
"Twenty-two-twenty-three years!" Jiang Ning, who was as big as a mountain to her, stumbled from the Longli pit.
"So weak!" The old turtle on the side heard this and complained.
"It's really weak!" The dragon carp's red-red tail fin, which was still shaking just now, suddenly stopped shaking.
"Come here, I won't hurt you!" Jiang Ning said, comforting the little dragon carp in front of him.
He knew what exactly happened here, and this surviving dragon carp must know a lot.
After accepting the old turtle, Jiang Ning was also full of interest in this dragon carp.
Because the dragon carp is born with extraordinary blood, its growth potential is much greater than that of the ordinary turtle, the old turtle.
Such a dragon carp with great potential and ornamental value moved his heart quite a bit.
at this time.
When Longli heard Jiang Ning's words, he immediately swam to Jiang Ning tremblingly.
She could feel that the turtles and people in front of her were all beings that she could not mess with.
Her small body is no match for her.
"Here, I'll give you something good to eat!" Jiang Ning stretched out his finger, blood beads condensed on his fingertips, and the lake water dispersed under his control.
Seeing this scene, Long Li glanced at Jiang Ning without knowing why, and then looked at the drop of blood on Jiang Ning's fingertips, his eyes full of confusion.
She didn't understand why the human man in front of her wanted to feed her blood.
The next moment, Long Li seemed to think of a statement he had heard before.
She immediately shook her head.
"No!"
"I'm a good demon, I don't eat fishy food, I only eat vegetarian food!"
"Don't test me! I am a good demon, not a bad demon, and I have never harmed anyone!!"
As he spoke, Jiang Ning clearly heard the cry in Long Li's voice.
At this time, the dragon and the carp were also very scared.
She still remembered what Grandpa Turtle told her about fishing law enforcement.
This made her think of what Jiang Ning was doing at this time.
Jiang Ning: "."
Seeing Long Li shaking her head repeatedly and hearing her look like she was about to cry from fear, he couldn't help but feel speechless.
"My lord, stop following this little carp, I'll do it!" The old turtle jumped in front of the dragon carp.
He stretched out his forelimbs and grabbed it, and the dragon carp was firmly locked by it.
"No! No!" The dragon carp became even more frightened. It was grabbed by the old turtle and struggled desperately, swinging its red tail fin.
At this time, Lao Turtle had already understood Jiang Ning's intention.
It grabbed the dragon carp and punched Jiang Ning's bloody fingertips.
"Woo--" Long Li held Jiang Ning's finger in his mouth and his eyes widened.
At this time, the blood entered her mouth and quickly penetrated into her body.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning continued to circulate his inner breath, forcing the blood out of the blood vessels and integrating it into the dragon carp's body drop by drop.
The dragon and carp were fed a dozen drops of blood.
It should be almost done!
Only then did he stop this action.
at this time.
As he took his hand out of the dragon carp's mouth, the dragon carp also rolled in the water.
“It’s so hot!”
“So hot!!”
“It’s so hot that the fish is dead!!”
"The fish is about to be roasted!!!" The dragon and carp rolled around crazily, burrowing into the soil with a "swish" sound, and rushing to the top of Jiang Ning's head with a "swish" sound.
It's like a group of gorgeous clouds surging in the water.
"My lord, the blood of this dragon and carp is so pure!" The old turtle landed on Jiang Ning's shoulder, his tone full of amazement.
"Old Turtle, you are very generous." Jiang Ning said.
As he spoke, he took out a few drops of blood and flew them in front of the old turtle.
The old turtle suddenly made a "swish" sound and stretched its neck.
As his neck poked out, a few drops of blood were instantly drawn into his mouth.
"The Lord's thoughts are the old turtle's thoughts!" It shook its head, full of enjoyment.
After swallowing Jiang Ning's blood, it can feel its Taoism growing under its refining.
After a long time.
Longli staggered to Jiang Ning.
The color on her body was even more gorgeous at this time, and the gold and red fish scales were shining in the dim bottom of the lake, which was really beautiful.
The red rosy tail fin is also shimmering.
"Thank you, you are a good person!!" Long Li said timidly.
She came to Jiang Ning and approached him out of curiosity.
At this time, she felt that Jiang Ning was full of kindness, and she felt at ease when she was close to Jiang Ning, without any fear.
Hearing Long Li's words, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile.
He stretched out his finger, and Longli immediately moved closer with understanding.
Then he rubbed his head against Jiang Ning's fingertips.
Under the touch of Jiang Ning's fingers, she suddenly narrowed her eyes and felt relieved.
Jiang Ning was also quietly feeling Long Li's emotions at this time.
With the mark of the descendant of the gods, he could feel Longli's peaceful mood at this moment, and feel that Longli had a faint trust in him.
Jiang Ning didn't find it strange to see such a change.
The authority of the descendants of the gods will make them feel close to and trust him. This is a subtle change.
Just like most creatures who come into the world, they are born to be close to the first creature they see.
"Do you have a name?" Jiang Ning asked.
"I have!" Long Li raised his head with a proud look on his face: "Grandpa Turtle gave me a nice name. My name is Linglong."
"Linglong?" Jiang Ning smiled: "It does sound good!"
Upon hearing the compliment, the dragon and carp immediately shook their red tail fins happily.
Feeling the joy in Long Li's heart, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile slightly.
Then.
"Linglong, who is Grandpa Turtle in your mouth?" Jiang Ning asked.
"Grandpa Turtle," Linglong murmured, her smart eyes suddenly dimmed, and her tone couldn't help but be filled with sadness.
She seemed to be deep in memories at the moment.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning was not in a hurry and waited quietly for Linglong to digest the sadness in her heart.
After a while.
Linglong raised her head, with eye shadow like red clouds under her bright eyes.
"Father, Grandpa Turtle is"
"Stop! Stop! Stop!!!" Jiang Ning quickly stopped Linglong from speaking.
Looking at Linglong's confused look, Jiang Ning said: "Linglong, please change your name!"
"Change your name." Linglong looked up at Jiang Ning: "Master, can you?"
"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded.
I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
I’m not married yet!
I haven’t found a wife yet!
He suddenly became a father, and the father of a fish. This was completely unacceptable.
at this time.
Seeing Jiang Ning's agreement, Long Li continued to speak without caring much.
"Master, Grandpa Turtle is a turtle that has lived for more than five hundred years. He is very good to me, very, very good!!"
"A few days ago, it asked me to hide in the soil, but I took the initiative to meet the big monster."
Jiang Ning said: "Is it the big demon Bai Chi?"
"Master, I don't know!" Linglong shook her head.
Then he said: "I only saw that it was a huge white dragon."
"Does that white dragon have horns?" Jiang Ning asked.
Hearing this, Linglong thought for a moment, then shook her head: "It seems there are no dragon horns."
"My lord, the white dragon without the horns should be the big white dragon I saw before." The old turtle said suddenly from the side.
"Yeah!" Jiang Ning nodded in agreement.
Then, he thought for a moment and took out the turtle shell that he had just put in from the Sumeru Ring.
"Linglong, is this turtle shell authentic?"
"It's Grandpa Turtle!!" The dragon carp swung its red tail fin and lay on the turtle shell, with deep sadness in its tone.
Immediately, two drops of tears, as crystal clear as pearls, fell from her eyes.
Jiang Ning understood clearly.
This place was originally a gathering place for some transformed little demons, but some time ago, the big demon Bai Chi broke into this place and killed and devoured and refined them.
The big demon with thousands of years of Taoism is completely beyond the ability of these hundreds of years old little demons to resist, so the gathering place of the little demons here was destroyed by the big demon Bai Chi overnight.
The dragon carp in front of me can survive.
Probably because she hid herself and her moral character was too low, she didn't attract the attention of the great demon Bai Chi.
"Linglong, what are your plans in the future?" Jiang Ning asked.
"Master, I want to avenge Grandpa Turtle!" Long Li lay on the turtle shell and looked up at Jiang Ning.
"Maybe one day!" Jiang Ning thought of the nobility of the dragon and carp bloodline, so he said.
The next night.
The bright moonlight fell on the beach of troubled times.
The surface of the lake rippled like silver scales.
Jiang Ning stepped onto the lake shore from the water.
【Source Energy】：2433.12
"I wonder if I will be able to break through 3,000 source energy points when I wake up tomorrow."
He secretly whispered in his mind and immediately closed the panel.
He gained a lot in these two days.
Not only did he tame a dragon and carp, but he also found several natural and earthly treasures that were more than a hundred years old.
At the same time, gold, silver and jewelry worth approximately more than 200,000 yuan were also harvested.
These gold and silver jewels were found by him at the gathering places of the demon tribes at the bottom of two lakes.
In addition to the gathering place where Long Li was, he also found another gathering place under the guidance of Long Li.
Compared to the gathering place where the dragons and carp were, the other gathering place of the demon tribe at the bottom of the lake was even worse.
It has long been turned into a pile of ruins.
Judging from the traces left behind, it was obviously the work of the great demon Bai Chi.
That big demon was obviously killing the creatures at the bottom of the lake and refining them all in order to improve his Taoism.
"This big demon white chi is now wreaking havoc at the bottom of the lake. It is so crazy. I wonder if it will come ashore in the future and cause a bloody storm along the coast of Luoshui Lake?"
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning suddenly felt that it was possible.
Because according to the records in the book, in ancient times, the demon clan has always fed on human beings.
Not only is the taste of the human race delicious to them, but also because this is also the way for the demon race to grow.
Devouring living beings and refining them can increase Taoism.
This path was very popular in ancient times and was one of the fastest ways to grow and improve.
Like the gathering place where dragons and carps are located, those aquatic creatures that have developed spiritual wisdom in their early years and have become monsters have long been afraid of the powerful humans today and have not dared to devour and refine human creatures for hundreds of years. There is no such thing as the old turtle and that An opportunity like an electric eel.
Therefore, even if the Grandpa Turtle in the mouth of Long Li lived for five or six hundred years, he could only have more than three hundred years of Taoism.
This is still possible with the help of various natural materials and treasures at the bottom of the lake.
Without the unique environment of the lake bottom and rare human presence, their growth would only be slower on their own.
As it happens, my elder brother and sister-in-law discussed with me a few days ago that when the weather gets warmer and the snow on the roads melts, they want to take Xiaodou Bao and Yiming to visit relatives in the county.
Now that it has been sunny for several days, Luoshui Lake has completely thawed.
Official roads should also be open.
I just happened to go to the county town with my elder brother and sister-in-law.
Calculating the time, the imperial examination is about one month away.
Before that, I have to go to Wuyuan for further training.
Jiang Ning immediately walked quickly towards his home. (End of chapter)
