From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 25: Iron Bones (Please Follow!)

[Iron Bone Pill: A body refining spirit pill. Long-term use can temper the entire body's bones, making them as hard as iron and granting immense strength.]

The scattered sparks in the sky dissolve into a palm-sized white jade bottle, which contains exactly twelve dan pills.

Li Quanqing poured out an Iron Bone Pill—an orb of snowy whiteness, its surface swirling with several blood-red veins, while an undertone of medicinal fragrance wafted through the air.

"It tastes sweet, almost like eating chocolate."

He popped it into his mouth and chewed; it was somewhat hard and satisfyingly crispy.

After swallowing, a tingling heat flowed into his marrow, feeling as soothing as soaking in a hot spring.

"My skin's hardness compares to rock. Coupled with the strength of the Iron Bone, I should not be much worse than a Qi Refining Early Stage body refining practitioner."

Li Quanqing pinched a huge crab, its sharp pincers now posing no threat to him.

With such a strong physique, perhaps he could cultivate a set of body refining techniques?

Li Quanqing manipulated the array, gathering the Iron Bone Crabs for inspection.

As expected, he found several more mature light group rewards.

[Harvested an Iron Bone Crab at the early stages of Qi Refining, rewarded with one portion of 'Geng Metal Finger' experience!]*2

[Harvested an Iron Bone Crab at the early stages of Qi Refining, rewarded with five Mid Grade Golden Light Talismans!]

"No experience rewards for the Geng Metal Sword Skill?"

Li Quanqing spread his five fingers, each emitting a beam of golden light that curled like a highly spirited little serpent, sharp and full of edge.

It's a pity; he still looked forward to the power of the sword skill when it reached minor completion.

Night fell, and the moon arose with the tide over the sea.

More than two thousand large Green Jade Carps gradually surfaced, creating a pressing dark mass; their bamboo-green backs shimmered under the moonlight.

Moo! Moo!

Twenty Green Jade Carps stretched their blue silk-like cloudy fins and swam slowly in the pond, their cries low and powerful.

Their bodies, now nearly two feet long, were covered with scales tightly and orderly arranged—smooth and delicate—as if they were pieces of flowing ancient cyan jade when moving through the water.

Especially the largest one, its green body marked with golden patterns, radiated a mystical and noble blue-gold luster.

In its lifeless eyes burned the flames of its obsession with dragon transformation, an aura of soaring ambition.

Moo moo!

The spirit fish faced the moon, opening their large mouths, incessantly swallowing as if performing a mysterious sacrificial ceremony, with strands of Taiyin Moonlight falling gently.

Li Quanqing was somewhat impressed by the determination of the fish.

Night after night, day after day, year after year, they practiced diligently without pause.

Da da!

The Iron Bone Crabs tapped against the rocks, eager to dive into the water and enjoy a dab of spiritual energy.

Unexpectedly, the school of fish was particularly irritable tonight, swiftly surrounding the large crabs.

Ptui! Ptui! Ptui!

Thousands of Water Arrows blossomed together, a spectacular sight reminiscent of a giant blooming Water Lotus, disrupting the peaceful pond.

More than twenty Iron Bone Crabs were smashed into the ocean floor, their shells creaking, almost disintegrating on the spot and ready to meet their maker.

However, Li Quanqing frowned, noticing something off with the Green Jade Carps.

They not only spat at the crabs but even started fighting amongst themselves, clashing and brawling fiercely.

In an instant, the waves churned, the tides surged, and the entire sea surface was muddled, losing the peaceful serenity of before.

Whirl! Whirl!

The tidal waters surged, columns of light descended from the heavens, manifesting as ripples that slowly spread throughout the pond.

It was the thirty Bright Moon Shells, rechanneling moonlight once more, bringing cool refreshment and gradually calming the agitated school of fish.

Silver-white moonlight blossomed like smoke and mist, illuminating every inch of water, as if thirty large lights were installed under the water.

Finally, the school of fish regained its tranquility, following the currents and slowly diving into the depths.

"Could it be that they scorn the pond for being too small, and lacking in spiritual energy? These big green fish are too hot-tempered!"

Li Quanqing grabbed several green fish and looked at them carefully, finding nothing out of the ordinary.

He could only attribute it to the limited living space, which caused the spirit fish to develop a wild nature.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

He couldn't help but think of Xie Hongyu's private Spirit Island and felt extremely envious.

One day, when his cultivation was strong enough and he had saved enough spirit stones, he would definitely become the lord of an island, directly contracting ten thousand acres of the sea for his fish farm!

The iron bone crabs crawled up the rocks with a feeling of grievance, their big pincers hanging limply and listlessly.

They no longer possessed the earlier arrogance that resonated like steel and iron.

Li Quanqing found it amusing. He took out iron-rich ores rich in nutrients to feed them, a comfort for these naively silly creatures.

"Who would've thought that the Bright Moon Shells, despite their small size, could be so bright!"

Li Quanqing looked at the brightly glowing sea water in awe.

The moonlight attracted by the spiritual shells wasn't much, but as they opened their shells, scattering the moonlight, they appeared much brighter.

The young man's eyes widened as he could even see through the dense school of fish the dozen or so mounds at the bottom of the water, motionless.

This group of Stone Spirit Loaches had already matured, and being kept this way, they required no feeding, which was effortless and worry-free.

In fact, Li Quanqing was also interested in conducting an experiment.

The strength of the Stone Spirit Loaches was commonly at the Qi Refining Early Stage, he wondered what it would be like when they broke through to the second and third levels, and even the Qi Refining Middle Stage.

Would they possibly spawn new rewards in the form of light groups?

Such development of the capabilities of the Golden Finger was indeed necessary.

Li Quanqing took out the two magic artifacts he had obtained earlier, ready to refine and imprint his mana branding at this moment.

The Mystic Turtle Shield resembled a pitch-black large turtle shell, its surface adorned with bewildering azure patterns and engraved with spiritual power lines.

Not only was its structure incredibly hard, but it could also mobilize seawater to form a water shield to block various spell attacks.

As a mid grade magical artifact, this shield could only be considered average in quality, but it was sufficiently good for current use.

The White Bone Netherworld Needle consisted of precisely twenty-eight long needles, flashed with a gloomy light, contained potent poison, and moved without leaving a trace.

Li Quanqing's favorite type of magic artifact was this needle-shaped one: exquisite and small, very suitable for ambushing enemies, and far quieter in the air than a flying sword.

Hence, he was particularly fond of it.

Li Quanqing activated the mana in his Dantian, needing first to erase the residual imprint of the previous owners on the artifacts before successfully marking them with his own branding.

The blue-gold mana bloomed in his palm, drilling into the deepest part of the artifact, encountering considerable resistance, and progressing as slowly as a snail crawling.

"Someday I will definitely ditch this piece of trash cultivation technique!"

Li Quanqing sighed, unable to help thinking about the Foundation Establishment Technique he yearned day and night for, the Azure Sea Tide Generation Skill.

With one and a half years left until the Li Family clan competition, he had accumulated six hundred and forty contribution points.

With a two-pronged approach, a double guarantee, this technique would eventually be his to hold.

The Li Family had dominated the Green Jade Islands for nearly a thousand years, with a solid foundation, and nothing much ever happened on a normal day.

Li Quanqing once again returned to the peaceful life of raising fish, where a simple and uneventful existence was the true way of life.

The big crabs matured one after another, yielding a total of 7 bottles of Iron Bone Pills, 20 Golden Light Shield Talismans, and 4 Geng Metal Finger Experience Groups.

Only the largest Iron Bone Crab King remained stubbornly in its growth phase.

With the boost from the Experience Group, the Geng Metal Finger advanced to the Great Success Stage, operating at will with ease, and could be summoned or dismissed as desired.

With proverbial learning from one leads to knowledge of another, the Geng Metal Sword Skill also reached a minor accomplishment, and could be used in real combat against adversaries.

Harnessing the Geng Metal Sword Qi through the Green Carp Sword, which was Li Quanqing's strongest means of attack currently.

During this period, Li Quanqing also completed all the basic learning of artifact refining and successfully passed the graduation assessment of the Earth-level school.

The title of Artifact Refiner of the family was already beckoning to him!
