From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 181: Golden Core Thunder Tribulation

Li Quanqing stroked the other Thunder Horn Pythons, but unfortunately, they were not impressive enough and they were still some distance from breaking through to the Qi Refining Late Stage.

Only the future would tell.

Li Quanqing carefully put away the Thunder Pearl, and then flew back to Baoqing Pond, preparing to take Ao Qing into the Spiritual Beast Bag and bring it back to Qingyu Island.

"Moo~"

From the sea near Baoying Fang, suddenly came a long and melodious moan that shook the water and echoed far away.

A huge dark shadow slowly swam under the sea, causing waves to churn, revealing a vast expanse of cerulean back skin, as extensive as a small island.

It was the Canghai Whale that had been driven out of its home.

"I almost forgot about you, big fellow!"

Li Quanqing patted his head, remembering only now.

The Canghai Whale had grown even larger than before, now over forty meters long, with a physique as astonishing as its appetite.

It surfaced, from its back blowholes spouted a jet of water, splashing drops everywhere and seeming very free and easy.

Clearly, such a colossal creature belonged in the boundless Hanhai oceans, not raised in a fishpond.

"Good boy, when I return, I’ll let you swim to your heart’s content in the ocean, and then we’ll travel through the Third Rank seas!"

Li Quanqing soothingly reassured the great whale. Now that he was not present at Baoying Fang to oversee, it was safer for it to stay in the pond, protected by the Island Protection Array.

Fortunately, the Canghai Whale was always gentle by nature. Although somewhat reluctant, it still made its way back to the fishpond via the waterway.

As compensation, Li Quanqing took out Beiming Zhen Sha and handed it over to the spirit whale for slow refinement.

Now that Ao Qing had successfully established its foundation, this Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object was no longer needed and was perfect for it.

The Canghai Whale, upon receiving the Spiritual Object, was overjoyed, and any trace of displeasure from before instantly vanished as it submerged itself to refine the gift at the pond’s bottom.

"Ao Qing, Dragon Sculpture, let’s go!"

Li Quanqing spoke, waving his sleeves, ready to take the two Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts to see the world.

"Moo!!"

Ao Qing immediately twisted its body excitedly, coming over to him proactively, resembling a giant green python with broad fins, ready for its master to mount and travel.

Li Quanqing, however, rejected the offer. Others were not yet aware of the existence of the Green Horned Fish Dragon; it was a hidden card that naturally had to be kept secret.

"Scream!!"

The Dragon Flame Eagle, seeing this, immediately began gloating, crying out loudly, flapping its wings non-stop and looking mockingly.

Ao Qing instantly got angry; it had long disapproved of this smug Fire Bird, and now, being a Foundation Establishment Demon of equal standing, it spat out a sky full of Water Arrows.

The Dragon Flame Eagle, equally undaunted, raised its neck and cried out, dragon flames around its body burning bright and ferocious, completely incompatible with this reclusive fish like fire and water.

Flame met water in a spectacular clash; the demon energy surged, making for quite a lively scene.

Li Quanqing expended a great deal of effort to separate the two beasts again, feeling helpless and troubled.

Ao Qing, true to the nature of a curl king, upon seeing that its Demon Art could not defeat the enemy, instantly transmitted a thought through its Slave Beast Seal, desiring to learn a powerful Spirit Art to bully the Flame Eagle.

Li Quanqing readily agreed and took out the Jade Scroll containing the Gui Water Divine Thunder, leaving it to fate whether it could fully understand.

Receiving its beloved knowledge, Ao Qing began to chirp joyously, voluntarily choosing to enter the Spiritual Beast Bag to ponder over the Spirit Art.

This kind of internal strife ingrained in the bones suddenly left the Dragon Flame Eagle stunned, feeling a strong sense of crisis.

"Let’s go, I will also teach you the Fire Dragon Skill later!"

Li Quanqing patted the stiff feathers of the Flame Eagle, which immediately gave a satisfied cry and soared into the sky.

...

Green Jade Islands, two Second Rank Spirit Boats stood ready for departure in the sea, as huge as small hills.

Though the number of Li Family cultivators setting out was not large, each was an elite, with the least impressive being at the Qi Refining Sixth Level.

One could say that their full strength was on display.

Li Quanqing landed on the deck riding the Dragon Flame Eagle, immediately spotting many familiar faces, some unexpectedly so.

"How come you’re here, too?"

He looked at Li Quanzhu, clad in a dashing black robe, and frowned slightly, "Does auntie know about this?"

"It’s a family call to arms, and naturally, I cannot shirk my duty."

Li Quanzhu spoke with a very determined gaze, his mana surging, having also reached the Qi Refining Eighth Level.

This fellow had good innate talent, and Li Quanqing had previously given him a Tonghua Pill to break through to the Qi Refining Late Stage. Now, he also served as a Steward for the family.

"Take care of yourself, and prioritize your life above all."

Li Quanqing didn’t say more, pulled out some top-grade Mana Jade Flame Sand that the Jade Qilin Beast had produced, and handed over a Copper Bean Puppet as well.

Li Quanzhu hesitated for a moment, but eventually accepted it, thanking his brother in a soft voice.

"And you, why are you joining in on the action? Your son is only how old?"

Li Quanqing turned his head to Li Quanfu on the other side, feeling a bit helpless.

"When the family calls, I have my answer. Don’t worry, cousin, I know what I’m doing. I’ll just stay on the Spirit Boat and not rush to the battlefield."

Li Quanfu gave a hee-hee laugh, his round, honest face showing a benign smile.

The Shuihua Sword Sect had personnel requirements for this expedition, with no fewer than one hundred sixty at the Qi Refining Late Stage - it seemed no one could escape.

"Cousin, do you think my son Jingui has a Spirit Root?"

Li Quanfu suddenly spoke up, leaning on the railing looking toward the shore.

A young woman and Mr. Kun Shui stood there, with a toddler in their arms that looked to be about two years old.

This porcelain doll full of spiritual energy was his son, Li Jingui.

The name was a bit common, but it was personally chosen by the elder, and they wouldn’t change it for anything; paired with his father’s name, it formed the word "wealth".

"Dad... Daddy!"

Li Jingui saw his father looking at him, puffed his cheeks, and in his baby voice called out cutely.
