Chapter 444: Application of Demonic Energy
Li Qi was still in his own contemplation.
In the past, he thought that the real dragon might not be that powerful. After all, being born at the ninth rank sounded like that. Many alien beasts could easily reach the seventh rank when they grow up.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
Why were Jinwu and Yutu born at the seventh rank?
That is because they have unique Dao rhyme. The two sisters are the Dao rhyme of the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron and Luofu Niangniang, and are essentially part of the authority of the two great powers.
They are born at the seventh rank, but they are unique. There will never be a Dao rhyme born from the combination of the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron and Luofu Niangniang in the entire universe. Even if the couple gave birth to another pair, it would never be the essence of the Taiyin and the Sun, but other parts of their Dao.
The children of the powerful are not really "giving birth", but taking out a part of their own Dao and turning it into life, which is different from the "reproduction" in the biological sense.
But the real dragons may be different...
The reproduction of the real dragons is real reproduction.
They copied themselves, and this is the real strength that can be achieved purely by relying on genes.
This is the most terrifying point -
Genes can be copied at will.
Although I don't know what restrictions make the real dragons seem to be very few in number, according to Li Qi's understanding... if it is simply reproduction, then the number of real dragons should be the same as that of the human race...
Everyone is seven-grade, and the number is the same as that of the human race, which is trillions of trillions.
Am I overthinking it?
But from the way of natural evolution that Li Qi has seen so far, things seem to be developing in this direction.
Then, there must be other reasons behind the scarcity of the dragon race that Li Qi doesn't know, which may become the next target of exploration.
However, at this time, Li Qi suddenly felt someone pushing him.
"Sir! Are you still listening!?" The tear spinning outside shouted.
The merman girl was already anxious, and Li Qi suddenly fell into a sluggish state, staying in place motionless. If this continues, he will bump into other nobles!
So, in a hurry, she actually reached out and touched Li Qi.
This is likely to result in her hand being chopped off, but she didn't care about that much after getting anxious.
After being pushed, Li Qi woke up from his thoughts and asked in confusion: "What happened... Wait, you just said that you bumped into the noble?"
When Li Qi was immersed in thinking, he was not completely alert, and he could hear people talking, but his brain subconsciously blocked these things, just as he could habitually block the countless noises coming from Zhen Zhiyun.
He was still very good at pretending to be deaf and dumb. In fact, he learned this from Rabbit. When Rabbit sank into his own world, he was exactly the same as Li Qi now.
It can only be said that couples will influence each other.
However, when truly valuable information and threatening existence appear, he will still be alert, and now there is obviously no threat, he was just woken up by Lei Fang.
"Sir, let's get out of the way quickly, the noble is coming!" Lei Fang pulled Li Qi and wanted to leave.
This actually aroused Li Qi's interest. He gently pushed the tear out. The little girl felt an irresistible force coming and was pushed away, but she was not injured.
Then, she was horrified to see that Li Qi took the initiative to swim towards the direction of the 'noble'!
The 'noble' mentioned by the mermaids was very curious.
If it were normal, Li Qi would definitely take a long-term plan, wait until he found out the details of the noble, and then slowly contact him.
But it was different now. Li Qi didn't feel any threat at all.
You know, the sixth sense of the witch is very accurate, and no one understands the meaning of 'in the dark' better than the witch.
So he went straight up.
Meet the mount of the noble not far away.
The first thing that caught my eye was several... walruses? It should be walruses.
The fat body was about 20 to 30 feet long, with two extremely thick teeth, and full of power. It looked very manic. Although it was tied with reins, it was shaking restlessly, and when Li Qi approached, it even made a gurgling roar.
Roaring underwater is a very unwise choice, as it will spit out a lot of gas, so the roars of aquatic creatures are internal vibrations, that is, most of them are gurgling, or like whales, they are quite high-pitched and sharp sounds.
Then, above this huge mount, it is the 'noble'.
Li Qi noticed that this was an ordinary mermaid, but his cultivation reached the eighth level, that's all.
The so-called noble... is it actually just a division of class or cultivation?
This disappointed Li Qi a little.
However, the noble pulled the reins and asked gently from the back of the walrus: "Who is coming, and why are you blocking me?"
This 'noble' did not do anything rude.
After all, he is not a fool. People from Dongyu come and go. A "guest" who is obviously from the land and seems to have a high level of cultivation is standing in front of him. There must be a reason.
Speaking wildly and making enemies without authorization is something that only idiots would do.
However, the nervous Mo Min next to him was stunned for a moment.
She still... saw the "noble" so kind for the first time.
It turns out that ‘noble people’ can talk well?
Li Qi didn't care about that. He floated up a few meters so that he could look directly at the 'noble man' on the mount, and then said: "Excuse me, are you the manager of this area?"
The shark man said: "Oh? Human race Yayan? Are you a friend of the human race? Indeed, the Bai Zhu family is the manager of all the pearl fields in Dongyu, and I am Bai Zhu's second son, Bai Zhu Zhao moon."
"Bai Zhu... is this surname given to you by humanity?" Li Qi asked immediately after hearing this term.
"No, this surname was created by the great witch Juyu for the ancestors of the Baizhu family. It has nothing to do with humanity." Baizhu Zhaoyue immediately puffed up his chest and said proudly!
Juyu's family?
Li Qi understood immediately.
The Juyu clan was one of the ancient witchcraft sects, which was before the separation of human and witchcraft families.
Juyu means beautiful jade jewelry. In ancient times, before the people and witches separated into different families, the Juyu family was responsible for collecting jewelry from various places for decoration and various purposes.
Later, the human and witch families separated, and the Juyu clan followed the lineage of the Human Emperor and became the ceremonial officer of the Human Emperor, no longer a shaman.
White beads are one of the Juyu family's ritual utensils. For example, a royal person must use jade as feathers, with white beads underneath and gold tweezers hanging down. There is a horizontal hairpin on the left and right to tie it to Anguo. All the hairpins are the same and are used to distinguish grades.
So when Li Qi heard the term Bai Zhu, he immediately thought of the Emperor's courtesy officer.
However, now it seems that... the inheritance of the Bai Zhu clan seems to be older than Li Qi imagined.
It was actually the surname given by the Juyu family before the separation of human and witchcraft, and it was said to be a great witch, that is, a third grade?
No, the great witches in ancient times definitely did not have the third level, they should only be around the sixth or seventh level, but they were enough to be proud of. The sixth and seventh levels at that time were also quite high.
"The surname given by the Juyu family? What did your ancestors do? How did you get the surname given by the Juyu family?" Li Qi asked again.
During the questioning, he took the initiative to open up his small world, exuding gentle coercion and at the same time exuding his own unique aura as a witch.
This is setting the record straight.
Feeling this sense of oppression, although Bai Zhu Zhaoyue didn't know if he understood what Li Qi meant, he obviously felt that Li Qi was much stronger than him.
So, he immediately bowed and saluted, which was a show of respect for Li Qi in his own capacity.
Then, he raised his head, raised his chest and raised his head, and said: "In ancient times, the Baizhu family often paid tribute to Baizhu and Qingzhu, and they were especially appreciated by the great shaman. This established a connection and was given this surname!"
Holding your head high and chest high is a sign of pride in your surname.
Gong Bai Zhu and Qing Da Ju Zhu, that is to say... this Zhimao people were once responsible for producing white pearls and green pearls for the human race at that time.
"It turns out that we are an ethnic group that has a connection with each other in ancient times. We really met an old friend, I, Li Qi, a disciple of the Witch God Mountain." Li Qi said with a slight salute.
He did not call himself a subordinate, because he was not a subordinate, so he used other modest names.
"It turns out that he is a distinguished guest from Wushen Mountain. Why did he block my way?" The member of the Baizhu family also stood up from his mount and saluted Li Qi in return.
"It's not to block the way, but to be curious about the surroundings. To tell you the truth, I dared to come from Wushen Mountain just because I want to travel and gain experience. I am curious about the vicinity of Dongyu, and I am currently stopping to observe." Li Qi replied.
Bai Zhu Zhaoyue nodded: "I see, then I won't disturb our distinguished guest. If you are interested, your distinguished guest can come and visit. The Bai Zhu family's mansion is nearby. You will know if you ask around. I have something urgent to do, so I'm sorry for the inconvenience." ”
"It's okay, please go." Li Qi said, taking the initiative to let the other party leave.
Bai Zhu Zhaoyue seemed to be really busy with something, so he immediately turned around and drove the manatee away in a hurry.
Li Qize listened on the spot, looking at his back, thoughtfully.
In ancient times... how long has it been since now?
Thousands of epochs?
I'm afraid there are more. This Baizhu family... has been passed down, but there has been no progress at all?
Not necessarily, this may just be a separation and more information is needed.
Li Qi had already started deducing in his mind.
Perhaps with a few more clues, he could construct more aspects of the Way of Heavenly Evolution and deduce what he needed.
He hadn't seen all of the East China Sea, but it didn't matter.
If you look at a leopard through a tube, you can see a speck, you can see the leaves at a glance, and you can tell the autumn by a leaf.
If you know a little bit, you can deduce a lot of things. For Li Qi, this is a skill that must be mastered.
So, he quickly came to his senses.
But when he came back to his senses, he saw Lei Fang crawling at his feet, trembling and not daring to move.
Oh, she was probably scared by herself. She just touched him and then was pushed away by him. She was probably afraid of death, right?
Hmm...that's weird.
"You were clearly not afraid of me just now, why are you afraid of me again now?" Li Qi grabbed the mermaid girl and asked.
Lei Fang did not expect that she would face this problem, and hesitated for a while...
Li Qi did have some doubts about this.
When he first met this mermaid girl, she seemed generous and answered questions appropriately, so Li Qicai wanted her to be a tour guide.
But how long is it? Two hours? The awe she showed towards the 'noble man' and the fear towards herself were not what they were before.
So Li Qi immediately became suspicious.
When this mermaid called herself a ‘noble’ in front of her family, Li Qi didn’t feel anything.
However, when Li Qi knew that the high-level mermaids in this area were called ‘nobles’, she actually began to pay attention secretly.
They wouldn’t call her that for no reason.
Now this strange behavior, it is obvious that she has met the real ‘noble’ and received the respect of the ‘noble’ of the Baizhu family, she became completely panicked.
All kinds of doubts made Li Qi unable to help but doubt this mermaid girl.
“Sir… I, I’m just afraid of being disrespectful to you…” The mermaid girl bowed quickly.
Mermaids don’t have the concept of kneeling, but she still crawled at Li Qi’s feet.
“Get up, speak straight.” Li Qi helped her up, then held her shoulders, holding both of her shoulders like pulling a carrot, forcing her to look at him.
In the water, this is easy to do.
Then, Li Qi did not explain to her, and his pupils suddenly expanded until the whites of his eyes were covered by black pupils.
Demonic energy poured out of his body.
Lei Fang trembled nervously, and fear filled her heart, as if a pair of hands reached into the flesh of her chest and grabbed her heart fiercely.
But soon, she didn't feel nervous anymore.
She felt so relaxed, and her mood couldn't help but become happy. She felt like she was floating in the air, which made people feel relaxed and happy, and her breathing couldn't help but slow down.
The gentleman in front of him also became amiable.
"Who asked you to come to me?" Li Qi's voice was full of temptation, as if it could make people open their hearts actively.
The mermaid girl had almost no resistance. She only felt trust. Driven by instinct, she replied: "Noble... Noble, the nobles asked me to come."
"Oh? Nobles? The noble just now?" Li Qi asked.
"Not the one just now, but... also from the great Baizhu clan." Lei Fang said shyly.
For some reason, she felt a little secretly happy.
"So that's how it is. Then you run away first, to a place at least 500 miles away from Dongyu, and then slowly follow Dongyu forward, and come back to find me in three days, okay?" Li Qi asked.
"Okay... I'll listen to you." Lei Fang nodded quickly.
"Then it's settled. I'll wait for you here in three days." After Li Qi finished speaking, he gently pushed Lei Fang out.
The old horse stamped its hooves and made a low cry.
"Don't worry, there's no one around. Let's go and see who's behind us."
With that, Li Qi turned and left.
