Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 554: Yijia

Under the Three Colored World, a large river meanders through, and at one of the river bends stands a burly nineteen-foot-tall human statue.

The figure is all blue in water, one foot on the bank and one foot in the river. His right arm is raised high, holding the harpoon tightly in his hand, as if he is preparing to kill the evil dragon hidden in the water.

A dragon and a puppet slowly approached.

The dragon is one and a half feet long, its scales are shining with Dharma light, its mane is flying in the wind, its claws are like cast iron, and there are a few dark clouds under the claws.

The six-armed puppet is nearly two feet tall, with a black hawk on its feet, a golden gun in its arm, and magic weapons embedded in its chest, back, and top of its head.

Lu Tong glanced at the portrait, then looked at the city behind the portrait, and said: "The small town of Quenching has arrived."

Que Yu kept staring at the portrait.

"Senior brother, the giant statue by the river seems to be a puppet."

Lu Tong stared at the figure again.

The surface of the figure is covered with a layer of soil, and the mud particles are clearly visible under the dragon's eyes. The harpoon, which is dozens of feet long, does not have any forging lines and looks like it was cast directly.

"How can you tell?"

"Intuition. I have been controlling puppets all day in recent years, and I felt inexplicably familiar the first time I saw it."

"Go and have a look."

There must be a reason for everything happening.

Maybe it’s the way you lift the fork, the size, or it could be the location, airflow, etc.

The things that the golden elixir great monk has seen and heard are extremely complicated. Although many things have not been specifically written down, inspiration often comes when encountering familiar things again.

The two approached.

A figure flew out of the portrait's mouth and said: "Yi Shizhou of the Yi family, pay homage to the two seniors!"

"Is it the Yi family who guards the small town of Quenshui?"

"Exactly, I wonder what we call the two seniors?"

"Capturing Qi Sect Lu Tong."

Lu Tong looked at the statue and asked directly: "This giant statue looks majestic, but is it a magic weapon for guarding the small town?"

"Back to senior, the formation inside the portrait is to refine the water essence."

Yi Shizhou took out a palm-sized porcelain bottle with a round belly and handed it over: "The essence of mortal water. The Donghai Sect sent the Yi family to station here. In addition to protecting the people and resisting the underworld, another responsibility is to refine the essence of water. ."

Lu Tong opened the bottle and poured out a stream of water.

Drawing a line of magic power, the water flow naturally gathered into a ball as big as a fist, weighing more than thirty kilograms.

Shui Jing, the essence of water.

"Yes, it's exactly this. I want to buy ten thousand kilograms of water essence and practice the thunder method. Who in your Yi family is responsible for this?"

Yi Shizhou glanced quickly and said, "Shizhou doesn't dare to make the decision. Can the two seniors go to the Yi family to discuss this matter with the family head?"

"Lead the way."

"Yes."

The three of them left together.

Que Yu followed him and left together. After flying more than ten feet, he glanced back and said through a message: "Brother, I know something is abnormal. The head, arms, legs, etc. of the colossus are lifelike, with the same proportions as ordinary people. Only the abdomen is too long, from below the navel to below the throat. The same is true for my puppet."

Lu Tong glanced back.

The figure has a round belly, somewhat similar to Wei Hu.

"The belly is nearly eight feet high and three feet thick. It is comparable to a pavilion. It can fit not only one person, but dozens or hundreds of people. Junior sister must be overly worried."

"Yeah."

Quenshui Town is located in the hinterland of many small towns. Life in the city is stable, and there is no need to worry about the city being destroyed. The architecture is far more exquisite than that of Waterfall Town, and there are some wooden buildings and high pavilions on both sides of the streets.

Yi Mansion is located in the deepest part of the small town.

The group entered the house.

A middle-aged man with a thin face and a long beard came out and said, "Mr. Yi, I have met two fellow Taoists!"

"Capturing Qi Sect Lu Tong."

Lu Tong used the "Dou Tian Technique" in advance, turned it into a length of one foot, and climbed on the chair.

Que Yu stood at the door and did not come in.

Mr. Yi glanced outside the door and said, "I heard that Fellow Daoist Lu wants to buy water essence?"

"That's right. I have recently acquired a method of water mines, which requires a large amount of water essence to practice. I heard that the Yi family is good at this method, so I came here to buy it."

"How many Taoist friends do you need?"

"As little as ten thousand catties, too much..."

Lu Tong shook his head and said with a smile: "If there are too many, maybe Lu alone can support your entire Yi family."

"Fellow Taoist is joking."

Mr. Yi stroked his beard.

Lu Tong raised his paw and wiped it from his lips, then took out a four-foot-long box and placed it on the table.

When the box is opened, a faint fragrance floats out.

Mr. Yi leaned out and took a look, his eyes lit up instantly, and he said: "Thousand-year-old herbal medicine?"

"The Crow Vine can harmonize the essence of the sun and the moon. It has a quality of thousands of years and can even neutralize the evil of the sun. With the help of this medicine, you only need to find an alchemist with ordinary cultivation to refine a furnace of elixirs. ."

After Lu Tong finished speaking, he closed the lid directly.

This herb was obtained from Panjia.

In addition to Leishan, the Pan family elder’s bracelets also include hundreds of boxes, boxes, and cabinets, large and small.

He took inventory and found that there were all kinds of goods inside.

Herbs, minerals, orbs, demon skin...

There are many types and are valuable, but they all need to be refined and cannot be used directly.

Mr. Yi retracted his eyes and sighed softly.

"To be honest, Yi intends to make a deal, but the water essence is not the private property of the Yi family. All the water essence refined in the city every month needs to be sent to Donghai Sect."

"Haha."

Lu Tong laughed twice, took out the token for entering and exiting Langge Mountain, and said: "Fellow Taoist, you are worrying too much. I just came from Donghai Sect. You can write a letter and tell Donghai Sect about this." Yes."

Mr. Yi's eyes settled for a moment, then he stood up and said, "It turns out to be my Taoist friend!"

"Oh?"

Lu Tong opened his eyes.

Mr. Yi smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, fellow Taoist, you must be on guard against others. In fact, the Yi family has hoarded some water essences. Since fellow Taoist needs it, just take it first."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"

Lu Tong looked towards the door, and looked at Que Yu through the mirror on the puppet's chest.

I just declined and wanted to send him away early;

Now that I agree, I also want to send him away as soon as possible.

I wasn't sure if it was the Yi family at first, but now I think it's probably a ghost.

He raised the faucet and said, "How many water essences can the Yi family produce?"

"How many Taoist friends do you need?"

Lu Tong laughed a few more times and said, "Have you forgotten, fellow Taoist? I have already said that if the method fails, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of kilograms may not be enough!"

"This...haha."

Mr. Yi smiled dryly and said: "The Yi family can take out 30,000 kilograms. For the rest, Taoist friends can try the small towns of Bijiang, Yuanshui and Hangu."

"Why bother! Thirty thousand pounds can still be practiced for some time. I will stay here first, and you can just refine the water essence!"

The smile on Mr. Yi's face froze and he stroked his beard a few times.

Lu Tong ignored it, stepped on a few dark clouds, slowly flew up, and said: "Lu is not familiar with the place here. I wonder if I can stay at Yi's house temporarily?"

"That's fine. If Taoist friends insist on doing so, the Yi family will give up their friendship as landlords."

……

Outside the city, several exquisite pavilions were built along the upper reaches of the river.

One of the three-story turrets.

Lu Tong climbed on the railing.

The breeze blew by, and two strings of bells under the eaves swayed, making a soft "ding-dong" sound.

In front of the building, the bronze mirror on the six-armed puppet's chest opened, revealing an armored figure only six feet tall.

Que Yu took out his arm from the puppet.

Lu Tong looked down and said with a smile: "She is indeed the daughter of a real person. Inside and outside, top and bottom, everything is a magic weapon. One person can use it as much as a small team."

"No, it's two people."

Que Yu drew out four arms.

The back arms are held in front of the chest, the arms are crossed, and the palms are placed on the shoulders, as if wearing a layer of heart armor.

She touched her visor and said, "Senior brother, 'Tong Jingwei' has seen me, do you want to keep your visor?"

"No need."

Lu Tong shook his head and said: "If they feel guilty and run away, we will take action."

The affairs of the Yi family are already very bad.

But if the Yi family dared to stay openly, they must have done enough to cover it up. The Donghai Sect is not its own territory, so it is not 100% sure to take action directly.

At this time, strands of mucus seeped out from the gaps in the puppet and gathered into a ball of black flesh.

Hongying’s ghost body.

Hongying controls the puppet, and Queyu activates the magic weapon. The two cooperate with each other and their strength is doubled.

A beam of yellow light mist floated over.

Que Yu quickly blocked the blazing energy, took Hongying into her body, and raised her hand to put away the puppet and ghost body.

"I'm worried that they are doing it secretly."

Que Yu jumped into the railing.

Lu Tong looked at the flowing river and said, "If they dare to take action, they will die."

Afternoon time.

Yi Shizhou entered the building with an old monk and said: "Senior Lu, this is Uncle Cheng, who is proficient in the art of refining water essence."

"Qi Qi Sect Lu Tong, I met fellow Taoist."

"Cheng Zao, a casual cultivator, is now enshrined by the Yi family."

Cheng Zao took out a gourd and handed it over: "This is a thousand kilograms of water essence. I live behind the waterside pavilion ten feet away. I can come and get it anytime after I use it."

Lu Tong took the gourd and took out the Crow Vine again.

"No rush." ​​Cheng Zao waved his hand and refused, "Fellow Taoist is not an outsider, take it to practice first, and we can settle the settlement together after the method is completed."

"Okay, fellow Taoist, please thank Master Yi for me."

Cheng Zao nodded and said: "Practice is important. Cheng will retire first. If you need anything, just ask Cheng."

"Don't dare."

"I will arrange for the maid to deliver three meals a day. If you have any hobbies, please feel free to ask me."

"Thank you."

Cheng Zao and Yi Shizhou left together.

Lu Tong saw them off, returned to the building, and asked, "How many great monks are there in the Yi family?"

Que Yu frowned and said: "According to the manager of the Aiding Dao Chamber of Commerce, the Yi family only has two Jindan realms, and there is no mention of Jindan realm enshrinements."

"Be more careful. Most families can't afford the services of the Golden Core Realm. The Yi family should not be weak."

"Yeah."

At night, five maids brought exquisite dishes one after another.

Fresh fish, old turtle, blood duck, pig head... dishes one after another filled the big table.

There are also two bowls of live fish.

In the white bowl, several inch-long red carps wandered leisurely.

"Wait."

Lu Tong stopped a maid and asked, "Is this for watching or eating?"

"Senior! This dish is called Fresh Water Hui Gan Geng. The red carp is hatched with moon dew, and the fresh water is made from water essence, spiritual honey, and concoction. This is a private dish of the Yi family."

"Interesting."

Lu Tong opened his mouth and sucked in, swallowing a whole bowl of water and hairtail fish into his mouth.

A hint of sweetness, the sweetness just rose, and was immediately washed away by a fishy smell. However, the fishy smell was very weak, and it dissipated before I could frown, and then came another herbal smell.

A variety of flavors appear alternately, with extremely clear levels.

In the past few decades, I have eaten thousands of things, and no matter how fancy the taste is, I can't escape the sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, etc.

It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten such fresh and eye-catching food.

"Not bad, worth a try."

Que Yu took a sip, swallowed a fish, tasted it slightly, and said, "The Yi family has great ambitions."

"What?"

Lu Tong was a little confused.

Que Yu took a spoonful of soup and said: "Sweet, fishy, ​​fragrant, bitter, sweet, every taste is just right. The Yi family must have tried it countless times and put a lot of effort into it."

He still doesn't understand what this has to do with ambition.

Que Yu continued: "Senior brother is not from the family, so he doesn't know about this. The importance of family is inheritance. This inheritance is not only the skills, but also family traditions, clothes, meals and other daily things. These may seem trivial. Things that unite a family."

Lu Tong's eyes moved slightly, he looked at the empty bowl and said, "Is the same true for the Que family?"

"The Que family is small and does not need such things, so I say that the Yi family is very ambitious. Once the family tradition is established and the people are prosperous, it is like a centipede insect."

"It seems that it is indeed the Yi family."

"Senior brother, do you want to inform Donghai Sect?"

"No." Lu Tong shook his head, "We will solve it ourselves."

"Okay."

……

Late night.

Lu Tong was lying on the couch, closing his eyes and sinking into meditation.

"The Meal Qi Technique is constantly operating, accumulating a large amount of pure spiritual energy in the soul.

After refining every day, there seems to be no progress.

But after more than ten years, the cloud eggs and little people outside the golden elixir have grown to the size of five feet without even realizing it.

"Winter, winter, winter!"

"Dongdong!"

A series of rapid knocks on the door suddenly sounded.

"Senior brother!"

Que Yu shouted urgently.

Lu Tong's heart tightened, and he forcibly restrained his magic. The magic power that was running was running wild, and there was a trace of pain between his eyebrows and within his body.

He suppressed the chaotic magic power, jumped up, and the dragon body that was ten feet long turned into two and a half feet.

"What happened?"

The door opens.

Que Yu stood outside the door, looking a little panicked and said: "There are poisonous insects in the water!"

"Come in and talk."

Que Yu entered the door.

Lu Tong closed the door and fired a line of magic that spread along the door and window ~IndoMTL.com~ said: "What poisonous insect?"

"What we eat should be the bowl of fresh water and sweet soup, which contains tarsal poisonous insects!"

He immediately used his magic power and swept it from his mouth, throat, stomach, etc. He didn't notice anything abnormal, and his heart suddenly sank.

"Don't worry, tell me slowly, what kind of poisonous insect is it?"

Que Yu took a deep breath and said: "It may be the 'heart-eating insects'. Hongying noticed that there were insects that eroded the remaining living corpse formation."

Que Yu raised her palm.

A bunch of smoke floated out, and Hongying said: "Master, insects can pass through the organs, flesh and blood, bones, and mana, and hide into the deepest parts of the bones."

"Can you even hide it from me?"

Lu Tong was very surprised and a little shocked.

Blood Spirit, Dragon Transformation, Human Wheel.

He was very confident in this dragon body, even a little proud, but he still fell into the trap without realizing it.

"Sir, please take a look."

A wisp of dark red blood oozed from the palm of his hand.

As thin as spider silk, the surface was slightly shiny. It twisted left and right a few times and suddenly disappeared, leaving only a hazy light and shadow that was extremely difficult to detect.

Hongying sacrificed another drop of blood, wrapped it around the insect, and said: "This insect is invisible and can be hidden in the blood. If it weren't for the formation in Que Yu's body, even I wouldn't be able to detect it."

"Heartworms eat hearts?"

Hongying stopped talking.

Que Yu said: "If you don't eat the heart, if this insect grows up and doesn't need to be watered with blood, it will itch all over the body. Many people scratch themselves all over to relieve the itching, and some even dig out the heart."

Lu Tong's face darkened.

I didn’t feel it just now, but after hearing it, I immediately felt itchy on my scales.

"Are you sure it's this bug?"

"Nine times out of ten. Nearly two hundred years ago, there was a great chaos in the Donghai Sect. Someone used the 'Heart-Drawing Worm' to control the monks and called themselves the 'Wandering Immortal Sect', which affected nearly ten thousand people. The larvae described in the book , just like it."
