Chapter 448 Transaction

Li Qi thought about it and felt that he was a kind person, and he was basically fair and peaceful in what he said and did, so he should not have many enemies.

Even if there were, they should be the kind of Devouring Heaven Demon Lord.

Of course, now that the incident had already happened, it was impossible to say "impossible". Anyway, it was already there, so it was better to speculate who was plotting against him behind the scenes.

Among his enemies, which ones were capable of contacting a fifth-grade dragon?

Li Qi thought about it and felt that the most likely one was Buddhism.

Li Qi had killed Monk Chanzhi before, and then Monk Chanzhi's master, the black-skinned demon monk whose name was unknown, came, but was cursed to death by Boyue's protector, Senior Le Ya.

And this black-skinned demon monk was from the lineage of Mahakala, and it was known that he was also an orthodox inheritance, following the path of the fusion of Buddha and Demon.

If we speculate from this direction, we can check from the clue of Buddhism.

Well, it's a direction.

In that case, let's do it.

Li Qi got what he wanted, so he stood up and looked at the seventh-grade mermaid, saying, "The clues you gave are very useful, but I have something else to discuss with you about this dragon."

"Can you sell me this dragon scale? By the way, I also want your method of transforming the dragon energy in the dragon scale and injecting it into other life forms. You don't need to give me the process of cultivating mother clams. I just want the method of transforming dragon energy."

Li Qi said this to the seventh-grade mermaid.

But the seventh-grade mermaid's face changed, and his expression was full of anger!

What a joke, this thing is one of the core technologies of the Baizhu family, and it is part of the foundation of their existence!

This man is so shameless, relying on his high cultivation, he actually asked for this thing.

However, after all, he was very advanced in cultivation... he couldn't beat him, so he didn't attack directly, but said: "Your Excellency will be disappointed. I can't make the decision on this matter. Even if you kill me, it will be useless."

"It's okay. Of course I know you can't make the decision. You just need to be a messenger. Tell your senior management that I am willing to exchange the cultivation method of witchcraft. I see that your cultivation process is quite primitive, and the success rate of the transformation of the mother clam is not high. It wastes too much dragon energy."

"I will use the orthodox cultivation method of witchcraft in exchange for your method of transforming dragon energy. Go and notify the person who can speak. I believe he will make the right choice." Li Qi waved his hand and said so.

"The cultivation method of witchcraft... who are you? This thing is the specialty of the witches in the southwest. It is difficult for ordinary people to see it. As a person in the magic way, how can you have the method of witchcraft?" The mermaid asked immediately.

"Go if I tell you to. You've already said you can't make the decision. If you can't make the decision, what else do you need to explain? When someone who can make the decision comes, I'll explain to him." Li Qi scolded.

This made the merman feel uncomfortable, but he couldn't refute it. He just bowed slightly, stopped talking, and left here.

Li Qi also disappeared here, entering a state of blending into nature.

He also had to make some preparations to deal with the possible encirclement and suppression.

Who knows if the other party went to call for reinforcements? Li Qi was just pretending to be a master, not a fool. He didn't really think he was invincible, so he didn't take any precautions.

Both sides made intensive preparations.

After about an hour, Li Qi had prepared his own things, so he continued to sit there and began to observe the operation of dragon scales and dragon energy, and do some preparation.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Suddenly-

A huge pressure came!

Across a huge distance, the breath attacked Li Qi like a wave!

The river was rolling and the sound was like thunder. A white line whistled in the water, like thunder and lightning, like a white lion roaring, shocking and shooting!

However, around Li Qi, a piece of moonlight suddenly rippled.

The moon was light and clear, the water flow was shallow, not following the beautiful flowers, the strong charm of the moment, drifting without a basis.

Shen Shuibi's amulet released its power at this moment. After all, it was made by the rabbit with its tail hair plucked out with pain. It was easy to just resist the pressure.

"Fifth grade... That should be able to say something." Li Qi felt the steady pressure and thought to himself.

Such pressure was released from a distance, which should be just to scare people. Unfortunately, Li Qi would not be scared by such a thing, and such pressure could not break through the amulet given by Shen Shuibi.

The power released by the two canceled each other out, and Li Qi stood up from his sitting position.

After all, he was a fifth-grade person, so he had to treat him with respect. At least he had to be polite. He couldn't be accused of being rude and then beaten up. How could he be justified?

The elders wouldn't do anything because of this.

However, Li Qi immediately discovered that it was not the real body of the fifth-grade person who came.

He saw the seventh-grade mermaid from before, holding a magic weapon that seemed to have the ability to project, and walked towards him.

This projection... seemed to be able to transmit some of its power, so there was real pressure.

This projection was a demon dragon.

It was not a demon dragon transformed from a sea beast, but a demon dragon transformed from a mermaid.

This mermaid practiced the way of demons and transformed himself into a dragon, presenting a strange posture.

His upper body still looked like a mermaid, but the fish tail of his lower body turned into a snake-shaped dragon tail that demon dragons generally have, covered with scales.

Li Qi couldn't see what was engraved on the scales because the projection was blurry, but he thought it must be very powerful.

The projection had just been brought in by the seventh-grade mermaid, and he said directly: "I heard... you want to use the method of cultivating witchcraft to exchange for the method of dragon energy transformation."

"Hello, senior. Yes, I want to exchange this method. This is a fair deal. I think it is very appropriate. It can even be said that... you have taken a great advantage. After all, there are more than one method of dragon energy transformation, but there is only one method of cultivating witchcraft in the world." Li Qi said.

"Where did you get this method?" the projection asked again.

"Master's inheritance, I am a witch." Li Qi showed his housekeeping skills as a witch, changing the surrounding weather into his own little world.

The projection saw this and glanced at the previous seventh-grade mermaid.

The seventh-grade merman bowed hurriedly: "Elder! I just saw the devilish aura on him, this person is definitely a devil! There is no way I can be wrong!"

"You are already wrong." The projection said, and then looked at Li Qi: "A witch who also practices the devil... No wonder he can propose such a deal, aren't you afraid of being investigated by the sect? You are not afraid... But I am very afraid."

Yes, if this kind of thing is leaked, then someone might track it down.

"If someone tracks me down because of this, it will just cancel the deal. I won't have the opportunity to pass on this method, and you won't use witchcraft to cultivate anymore. This matter will be buried, but I will be the only one who suffers, right?" Li Qi said with a relaxed look.

"There are many ghost witches in the Wu Gu lineage. How can I be sure that the one who comes will be a reasonable witch?" The projection asked back: "Sometimes, it is easier to invite gods than to send them away."

"Witches are always good at sending gods away." Li Qi replied: "Then why don't you ask the one next to you to learn? If a ghost witch comes, they will not find you if they want to silence him."

"Indeed, it's a good idea, Bai Zhu Yingbo, you go." The projection gave an order to the seventh-grade mermaid next to him.

The seventh-grade mermaid trembled all over, and his lips kept moving, as if he wanted to say something.

"If you have nothing to do, I will preach to you three times. If you have something to do, I will preach to your son ten times and guarantee that he can reach the eighth grade alive. As for the seventh grade, it depends on his understanding. You can choose." The projection said lightly.

The seventh-grade mermaid looked up, looked at the projection, and then looked at Li Qi, and fell into silence, but his expression was not so flustered, as if he was thinking.

Li Qi, on the other hand, was thoughtful after seeing this scene.

Does the Way of Natural Selection also value inheritance? Is it the inheritance itself, or the emphasis on bloodline, or the inheritance of the Tao?

If it is the inheritance of the Tao, then like other Taoisms, it needs successors.

But the Way of Natural Selection does not seem to need successors. No matter who is in any place, he always needs to face cruel natural competition, especially in those underdeveloped worlds.

In the world, this kind of competition for survival has been eliminated, and Taoism has become the main struggle, not survival competition. After all, no Taoism will worry about survival.

So what is the significance of bloodline inheritance for the Way of Natural Selection? They seem to be exactly the opposite of other Taoisms.

Other Taoisms are Taoism struggles, struggles of ideas, philosophies and beliefs, but they don’t care about survival competition, nor do they need to rob the living environment and living materials. The environment is relatively relaxed.

But the Way of Natural Selection is very different. They have completely opposite natures. The Way of Natural Selection and any other Taoism have no Taoism struggles, but they strongly encourage survival competition.

It seems that they compete purely for the sake of competition, and fight for the sake of fighting. Even if there is no shortage of supplies, they deliberately create many fights, and even attract many outsiders to join this survival arena.

Li Qi absolutely believes that the reason why no one helps to clean up the wreckage of the Dragon King is to use this wreckage to infinitely increase the competitive posture of the East China Sea.

In such a survival competition, what is the inheritance of blood? There is even a concept of power such as "family".

I can't figure it out, but... put it in my mind for the time being and think about it slowly later.

Just as Li Qi was thinking about this, the seventh-grade mermaid named Baizhu Yingbo finally figured it out.

Although the elder said "he can choose", he actually has no choice.

If he can't choose, the elder will change someone else.

The person who replaced him would not only replace this task, but also his entire life. He would no longer be in charge of Dongyu Island, and might even be exiled to the outside world...

So, he stood up tremblingly, walked to Li Qi, and said with a bow: "Please... pass on the method, sir."

"Okay." Li Qi nodded, then stretched out his hand and concentrated his mind.

——————————

When Li Qi left the underwater, it was already a day later.

The mermaid girl named Leifang returned home fortunately. At least she was safe for the time being. Li Qi did not trouble her or expose her existence.

As for what she thought and what she would encounter in the future...it was up to her. Li Qi could not take care of her for a lifetime. Besides, two ninth-grade magic weapons were also a huge sum of money.

And the Baizhu family also successfully obtained the cultivation technique of witchcraft.

Li Qi did not give any method for cultivating any kind of Gu worm, but he gave a universal solution, which is the idea used by the Wu Gu lineage to induce mutations in inferior Gu worms.

This is what Li Qi learned when he first developed the Wuqi silkworm. After all, the core of the Wuqi silkworm is actually the art of Wu Gu and the humane method of raising monsters.

The Baizhu family has no interest in cultivating Gu worms, and there is no environment for cultivating Gu worms on the seabed, unlike the natural environment near Wushen Mountain.

Wudao has always been committed to maintaining the balance of heaven and earth, so in the environment of Wushen Mountain, there is a prosperous source of heaven and earth, and the spiritual energy is as strong as in ancient times. Even mortals can live for 200 years, be healthy and strong, and have talents far beyond human beings.

This environment can naturally give birth to a large number of spiritual objects.

The number of various plants, minerals, and even various poisonous insects with strange abilities is far greater than that of the outside world. There are alien species everywhere, and even the same species can have tens of thousands of variants, each with different characteristics.

Outsiders who come to the sphere of influence of Wushen Mountain will only feel that it is full of all kinds of strange life, danger and opportunity coexist, and there are strange and dangerous animals and plants everywhere, as well as weird locals who are good at witchcraft.

This is the foundation for cultivating Gu worms.

With the help of these endless special animals and plants, the Wu Gu Dao can develop to this point. Many of their poisonous insects do not even need to be cultivated. They can kill many people after being caught and released.

And the seabed obviously does not have such conditions.

However, the ideas are common.

The idea of ​​inducing Gu worm mutations may be used on mother clams to produce more alien species. In this way, pearls will also have more strange characteristics. As long as large-scale attempts are made, a variety with suitable output, grade, and characteristics will eventually appear. Then it will be used to spread out to become new mother clams, and there will be a brand new pearl field.

This is something that the Baizhu family cannot refuse, so they handed over their core technology, a method of strengthening life through dragon energy, and a dragon scale with dragon blood. This is the source of dragon energy, which belongs to the dragon Tianhong Jun. This is the "reward" given by Tianhong Jun to the Baizhu family.

This kind of enhancement is extremely powerful and deadly. It can turn a low-grade pearl oyster into a ‘mother oyster’, but it will also directly cut off all possibilities of the mother oyster, destroy the small world in the body, greatly shorten the life span, and even lose the ability of magical powers and spells. It can be said that except for the illusory ‘grade’, nothing can be obtained.

But whether it is Li Qi or the Baizhu family, what they want is the ‘grade’.

Everyone is happy.
