Chapter 253: Refine Taoist soldiers and spread the Dharma to Bai Ling!

After experiencing the Cultivate speed of a second-grade Spiritual Root, Lu Changsheng tried to condense the ‘Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse’.

This ‘Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse’ was somewhat similar to the ‘Soul Scattering Needle’ Divine Sense attack secret technique he had Cultivated before.

Through visualization and the circulation of Dharma Power, it condensed into Talismans within the body, ultimately refining into a ‘Black Water Flood Dragon’ graphic Talisman.

Under normal circumstances, comprehending and refining the ‘Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse’ would be extremely difficult.

However, with the System’s enlightenment, it was naturally easy for Lu Changsheng, and he didn’t have to torment himself like when he Cultivated the Soul Scattering Needle.

As he visualized in his mind and Dharma Power flowed and condensed, the Seven Luminaries Dharma Power in his Dantian condensed into mysterious Talismans.

Five days later.

Seventy-two ancient Talismans appeared in Lu Changsheng’s Dantian, forming a mysterious Dao rhythm.

These seventy-two Talismans slowly swam like fish, forming a Flood Dragon-like graphic Talisman, which was precisely the ‘Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse’!

As the ‘Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse’ took shape, Lu Changsheng immediately used Dharma Power to continuously refine it, making it condense into a small Talisman seed.

“The Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse is complete!”

Two more days passed, and Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face, and let out a long breath.

He took a Medicinal Pill and began to sit cross-legged to restore his Dharma Power.

Once his Dharma Power recovered, Lu Changsheng got up and walked out of his Immortal Cave.

He planned to catch a Bixue Carp and a Chixue Carp to try and see if he could refine them into Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers.

However, the moment he stepped out of his Immortal Cave, Lu Changsheng remembered the faint fragrance emanating from his skin due to his Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body.

“Speaking of which, can this fragrance be restrained? Otherwise, it’s a bit strange for a grown man like me to constantly carry such a scent.”

Lu Changsheng tried to restrain the faint fragrance emanating from his skin.

This fragrance was not strong and smelled very comfortable.

From Xiao Xiyue’s words earlier, he vaguely felt that this scent also had some alluring effects.

So he thought that if it could be restrained, he should try his best to restrain it.

There was no need to constantly exude charm.

Through the circulation of his Cultivation Technique, Lu Changsheng could feel that the fragrance on his skin had faded considerably.

If not for close contact, it would be almost impossible to smell, so he nodded slightly, feeling much more at ease.

He walked out of Chang Sheng Hall and came to his Family’s fish farm.

“Lord of the Mountain!”

“Greetings, Lord of the Mountain!”

“Husband!”

“Daddy!”

Many water buildings were built around the fish farm, and the Cultivators of the fish farm usually lived in these water buildings, monitoring the situation of the fish farm.

Seeing Lu Changsheng approach, the Cultivators in the water buildings immediately bowed to him.

“Zhong Yu, catch a Bixue Carp and a Chixue Carp for me.”

Lu Changsheng said to Zhong Yu, the manager of the fish farm.

Then he smiled and nodded at his concubine Yun Qianqian and daughter Lu Xiaoru, walking forward to ask them how they felt about raising fish.

This concubine and daughter had some interest in raising fish, so Lu Miaoyun arranged for them to study fish farming here.

“Lord of the Mountain.”

After a while, the manager Zhong Yu came with a Chixue Carp and a Bixue Carp.

These two carp were clearly selected, weighing twenty to thirty catties each.

Lu Changsheng took the carp, said a few words, then transformed into a stream of light and returned to Chang Sheng Hall.

“Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse!”

Upon arriving in his hall, Lu Changsheng held the Chixue Carp and circulated the Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse in his Dantian, allowing the Talisman seed to enter the Chixue Carp’s body.

“Buzz—”

This Talisman seed was extremely mysterious; in an instant, it entered the Chixue Carp’s body without any obstruction and burrowed into its heart.

“Thump, thump, thump—”

The Chixue Carp’s heart seemed to beat intensely the moment it came into contact with the ‘Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse’, and its mouth opened and closed as if roaring, beginning to struggle violently.

After a while, this Chixue Carp stopped struggling, remaining motionless, its entire body shriveled and dry, as if it had been dead for a long time.

“Is the Dragon Blood too thin, and its potential insufficient?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Chixue Carp before him, raising an eyebrow.

According to the records in the Black Dragon Codex, to Cultivate ‘Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers’, one must first have a water Yao Beast with Dragon Blood in its body.

Then, by implanting the ‘Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse’, it would refine the Dragon Blood within the Yao Beast, enhancing its potential.

This step was also called ‘Leaping over the Dragon Gate’.

Only by integrating the ‘Talisman seed’ and leaping over the Dragon Gate could there be hope of advancing to a ‘Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Soldier’.

This Chixue Carp did not survive this stage, naturally resulting in its death, with its flesh and blood potential exhausted.

“It seems that this Chixue Carp is still too inferior to be used for cultivating ‘Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers’.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head, looking at the shriveled Chixue Carp.

He didn’t pay too much attention to it.

After all, a Chixue Carp was only worth about ten Spirit Stones.

To use it to Cultivate Dao Soldiers was indeed a bit of a pipe dream.

He looked at the other Bixue Carp in his hand.

Compared to the Chixue Carp, this Bixue Carp was much more valuable, worth twenty to thirty Spirit Stones.

With an experimental mindset, Lu Changsheng implanted the Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse into the Bixue Carp’s body.

However, just like the Chixue Carp, this Bixue Carp also died, its flesh and blood shriveled.

“Hmm, what is this… Dragon Blood essence?”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng saw a wisp of golden brilliance within the dead Bixue Carp’s body.

Through the Black Dragon Codex, he clearly knew that this was a wisp of Dragon Blood essence.

The Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse refines the Dragon Blood within the Yao Beast, stimulating its potential.

But the creature did not survive this stage, and its entire flesh and blood essence transformed into this wisp of Dragon Blood essence.

This wisp of Dragon Blood essence could be used to refine ‘Ascending Dragon Pills’.

Ascending Dragon Pills were also part of the process of cultivating ‘Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers’.

After all, how could cultivating third-rank Dao Soldiers be simple?

The first step was to select Dao Soldier seeds through the ‘Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse’.

Subsequently, they needed to be continuously cultivated through ‘Spirit Nurturing Pills’, ‘Wisdom Opening Pills’, ‘Ascending Dragon Pills’, ‘Spiritual Light Dharma’, ‘Blackwater Dharma’, ‘Nine Transformations Dharma’, and so on, encompassing nine pills and twelve methods, before finally being able to advance to ‘Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers’.

This process was somewhat similar to raising Spirit Beasts.

But compared to Beast Taming, raising Dao Soldiers was clearly more profound.

This was also why small Family forces simply did not possess Dao Soldiers.

Not to mention whether they had the methods for raising Dao Soldiers, the various expenses alone for raising Dao Soldiers were beyond the means of ordinary forces.

“Although this Bixue Carp cannot be used to Cultivate Dao Soldiers, being able to refine a wisp of Dragon Blood essence is still quite good.”

“In the future, if I need Dragon Blood essence to refine ‘Ascending Dragon Pills’, I can refine it through Bixue Carp.”

Lu Changsheng took out a porcelain bottle from his Storage Pouch and collected this wisp of Dragon Blood essence.

Although this wisp of Dragon Blood essence was very small, insignificant, even a mosquito’s leg is still meat.

“However, since this Bixue Carp can refine Dragon Blood essence, perhaps a Bixue Carp King might survive the Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse.”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he muttered in his heart.

This Bixue Carp was just an ordinary first-rank Spirit Fish.

As a second-rank Spirit Fish, the Carp King had a good chance of fusing with the Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse.

No sooner said than done, Lu Changsheng went to the fish farm again and asked Zhong Yu if there were any Carp Kings in the fish farm at the moment.

“Lord of the Mountain, currently the entire fish farm has one Chixue Carp King and one Bixue Carp King respectively.”

Zhong Yu said.

As for ordinary carp, she naturally wouldn’t keep detailed statistics.

However, Carp Kings were not only highly valuable individually, but also contributed to the ecological growth of other carp.

Therefore, upon being appointed as the manager of the fish farm, she immediately cultivated two Carp Kings.

“Will using one affect anything?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

“It won’t affect anything, it’s just that a new Carp King will take some time to Cultivate, and the cost of cultivation will be slightly higher.”

Zhong Yu hesitated for a moment before replying.

“Alright, retrieve the Bixue Carp King for me.”

Lu Changsheng nodded upon hearing this.

He knew there would actually be some impact, but he couldn’t resist the urge to conduct the experiment now.

“Yes, Lord of the Mountain.”

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yu said nothing more and went into the fish farm to search for the Bixue Carp King.

As fish bait was scattered, the lake surface rippled and shimmered, and many carp gathered.

But soon, the lake water churned and surged, and the other fish scattered. A colossal Bixue Carp King, over a meter long, surfaced to eat the bait.

“Act!”

Zhong Yu shouted to the others.

Immediately, several fishermen cast large nets to catch this Bixue Carp King.

But this Bixue Carp King already possessed some intelligence. Seeing the fishing net, it immediately flicked its tail and dove into the lake, trying to escape.

Seeing this, the others quickly used their magical techniques to block the Spirit Fish.

“Haha, interesting.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled at this scene, immediately activating his Dharma Power and grabbing with a large hand.

A large Dharma Power hand directly seized the Bixue Carp King in the lake.

“Not bad, perhaps it can really be refined into a Dao Soldier.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled as he looked at the Bixue Carp King before him, then flew towards Chang Sheng Hall.

All the Cultivators and fishermen in the fish farm watched this scene, their eyes filled with awe and respect.

Upon arriving at Chang Sheng Hall, the Bixue Carp King continued to struggle, its eyes filled with fear towards Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng didn’t pay much attention, placing his hand on the Carp King’s body and implanting the ‘Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse’ into its body.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss—”

At that instant, the Bixue Carp King let out a painful roar, struggling and thrashing continuously, its heart thumping ’thump, thump, thump’, and faint black light shimmered on its scales.

“It truly seems to have some hope.”

Lu Changsheng’s face showed a hint of a smile as he watched this scene.

Watching the Bixue Carp King continuously shrivel and darken, with black Qi flowing, as the ‘Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse’ surged, Lu Changsheng pondered slightly and flicked the wisp of Dragon Blood essence he had just obtained towards the Bixue Carp King.

Then he took out a Spirit Feeding Pill, crushed it into powder, and poured it into the Bixue Carp King’s mouth along with Spirit Liquid.

Since there was hope for its success, he was naturally willing to help.

Time passed little by little. The Bixue Carp’s body continuously shriveled and darkened, becoming much more slender, its shape resembling a catfish or eel.

“Rumble!”

After a long while, the Bixue Carp King suddenly let out a high-pitched roar. Its heart fused with the Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse, and Demonic Qi surged around its body, drawing in Spiritual Qi.

At this moment, its scales almost completely transformed from green to a dark black, two slender catfish whiskers grew, and the teeth in its mouth were noticeably sharper.

“It’s done!”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes lit up with joy as he saw this scene.

The Bixue Carp King before him had already been refined by the ‘Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse’ and transformed into a ‘Blackwater Dragon Fish Dao Soldier’.

Its strength was still relatively weak, roughly equivalent to a first-rank Middle Stage Yao Beast.

But to transform from a Spirit Fish into a first-rank Middle Stage Yao Beast was an undeniable significant improvement.

“It seems that it’s still quite difficult for this Bixue Carp King to fuse with the ‘Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse’. If I want to Cultivate them, I still need to find better Dragon Bloodline aquatic creatures.”

“I wonder what the effect of the Dragon Carp, which appears once every ten years in Bishui Lake, will be.”

Lu Changsheng checked the condition of this Black Water Dragon Carp.

It was clear that although it had fused with the Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse, it was still somewhat strained.

The process of refining its Bloodline and stimulating its potential had left it extremely weak, with only half a life remaining.

“But at least it succeeded.”

“Now, as long as it’s slowly Cultivated and its spiritual intelligence is awakened, this Black Water Flood Dragon will Cultivate the Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse on its own, constantly evolving to become a Black Water Flood Dragon!”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself as he carried the Black Water Dragon Carp.

After a moment of thought, he came to Bishui Lake and directly placed the Black Water Dragon Carp into Bishui Lake.

With the Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse, he could roughly sense the Dragon Carp’s location and issue commands to it.

He observed for a moment and found that as soon as the Black Water Dragon Carp entered Bishui Lake, it immediately sought out fish and shrimp in the lake to eat, and even went to eat the Bixue Carp in the lake.

“Putting such a Black Water Dragon Carp in, won’t it affect the ecology?”

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly.

Although Bishui Lake was so large, if the Black Water Dragon Carp continued to eat like this, problems might arise.

“Forget it, I’ll keep it in the Spirit Beast Pouch for now. Once I refine the Dao Soldier Talisman, I’ll have someone come to raise it.”

“Otherwise, with the current strength of this Black Water Dragon Carp, it might cause casualties to the fishermen.”

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and placed the Black Water Dragon Carp into the Spirit Beast Pouch.

After all, fishermen came to Bishui Lake every day to fish, and some of his own children also came to fish.

If they encountered a Black Water Dragon Carp, which was a Yao Beast of the Qi Refining Middle Stage, there might be danger.

The Dao Soldier Talisman was similar to a Beast Taming Token.

It could be used to communicate with the Dao Soldiers through the Talisman and arrange them in formations.

If one Cultivated the Black Dragon Codex, they could also fuse the Dao Soldier’s Demonic Qi with their own Dharma Power, greatly increasing their strength.

“Daddy, Brother!”

Lu Changsheng was about to return with the Black Water Dragon Carp when he suddenly heard voices calling him.

He turned his head and saw Lu Wangshu and Bai Ling waving at him from a distance.

“Wangshu, Little Ling’er.”

Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Wangshu, who was sitting cross-legged on the Cold Jade Mysterious Turtle, wearing a fisherman’s hat, and looking adorable.

Bai Ling was on a small boat nearby, accompanying Lu Wangshu fishing.

After all, with Lu Wangshu’s small physique, she always needed someone to accompany her when fishing.

“Brother.”

Bai Ling looked at Lu Changsheng, her beautiful peach blossom eyes immediately filled with joy, misty, and her voice sweet and soft.

After Lu Changsheng’s daily nourishment, she had gained a few more alluring and charming qualities, truly enchanting.

However, compared to Nangong Mili’s charm, she also possessed a natural, pure beauty, giving off an innocent and lovable aura, making one feel pity for her.

“Daddy, look at me! I caught so many fish today!”

Lu Wangshu pointed to the fish basket beside her, excitedly sharing her joy with Lu Changsheng.

“That’s great.”

Lu Changsheng glanced at the fish basket, thinking that his daughter’s fishing talent was indeed remarkable.

And through the System, he knew that after so much fishing, his daughter Lu Wangshu’s fishing talent had even increased by 3%.

This left him speechless, worrying that his daughter would become addicted to fishing all day long and have no interest in Cultivating or Talismans in the future.

Looking at his daughter, Lu Changsheng suddenly smiled and said, “Little Wangshu, Daddy just caught a big fish too, do you want to see it?”

“Eh, Daddy, can you catch fish too?”

Lu Wangshu tilted her head and said.

Lu Changsheng: “???”

Damn it, how could such words come out of my daughter’s mouth?

Shouldn’t it be “Yes, I want to see,” “Wow, Daddy is amazing, Daddy is so powerful?”

This little cotton-padded jacket is leaking!

“Hehe, since you want to see it, Daddy will let you see it.”

Lu Changsheng patted his Storage Pouch and released the Black Water Dragon Carp, which was almost two meters long, saying, “How about it, isn’t the fish Daddy caught big?”

“Wow, what a big fish!”

Lu Wangshu was stunned by the Black Water Dragon Carp in front of her, her little mouth forming an ‘O’.

She had never seen such a big fish before.

It was twice her size.

Bai Ling also looked at the Black Water Dragon Carp with some surprise.

However, with her Qi Refining Late Stage cultivation, she knew that Lu Changsheng hadn’t been fishing just now.

“Daddy is amazing, right?”

Lu Changsheng said nonchalantly.

“Mm-hmm, Daddy is really amazing!”

Lu Wangshu nodded repeatedly, her eyes fixed on the Black Water Dragon Carp.

She didn’t suspect in the slightest that this fish was caught by her old man from a fish farm.

“Hehe.”

Lu Changsheng smiled at this scene.

He thought that his little cotton-padded jacket hadn’t completely leaked yet.

After chatting with his daughter for a while, Lu Changsheng transmitted a message to Bai Ling, saying, “Little Ling’er, wait for me tonight.”

The Black Dragon Codex, when Cultivated to Major Achievement, allows one to transform into a Black Dragon.

Currently, Bai Ling was still Cultivating the most basic Cultivation Technique, the Returning Essence Skill.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng planned to teach the Black Dragon Codex to Bai Ling.

One reason was that Bai Ling’s talent indeed required her to Cultivate a better Cultivation Technique.

Another reason was that Bai Ling had experienced an ancestral return of her Yao Race Bloodline, most likely a snake Bloodline.

And in the Cultivation World, snakes and Dragons have relatively similar attributes.

Ling Zixiao had told him before that in Bai Ling’s situation, if she Cultivated snake or Yao Race Cultivation Techniques, her Bloodline might show some manifestation.

“Mmm.”

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s transmission, Bai Ling’s eyelashes immediately drooped, and her heart fluttered with shyness.

She glanced at Lu Wangshu, then softly replied, “I… I will wait for Brother.”

After chatting with the two women for a while, Lu Changsheng arrived at the Lu Family Mansion.

He asked his wife, Lu Miaoyun, to procure Medicinal Pill Materials such as ‘Spirit Nurturing Pills,’ ‘Wisdom Opening Pills,’ and ‘Dragon Ascension Pills,’ as well as aquatic Yao Beasts possessing Dragon Blood.

“Okay, husband.”

Lu Miaoyun never questioned Lu Changsheng’s requests and directly nodded in agreement.

Late at night.

In an antique room.

On the bed, Bai Ling’s exquisite and graceful body was covered with sparkling, smooth white scales, making her seem as if she was wrapped in a soft scale armor.

While fully displaying her alluring and graceful figure, her entire being exuded a bewitching, wild beauty.

As her delicate body undulated and swayed, the shimmering white scales seemed to flow like a galaxy, sparkling with tiny pink specks, like embedded gems, looking incredibly dazzling.

At this moment, every inch of Bai Ling’s body was filled with temptation.

Especially her pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, misty and hazy, seemingly drunk but not, dreamy and enchanting, stirring the most primitive desires in others, making one’s heart flutter.

This often made Lu Changsheng wonder if Bai Ling were to Cultivate媚术 (charm techniques), she might not be weaker than Nangong Mili.

Afterward!

“Brother~”

Bai Ling nestled in Lu Changsheng’s embrace, like a docile kitten.

Her pure and charming face was flushed like the evening glow, and her two beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed into crescent moons, looking at Lu Changsheng with a docile and satisfied expression, tugging at his heartstrings.

“Little Ling’er.”

Lu Changsheng held Bai Ling’s soft, smooth, and alluring jade-like body.

Her body’s scales felt incredibly comfortable to the touch at this moment, making Lu Changsheng reluctant to let go.

The two continued to be intimate and tender, savoring the afterglow, and then Lu Changsheng inquired about Bai Ling’s Cultivation progress.

Bai Ling said that she was currently at the Peak of Qi Refining stage seven and would be able to Breakthrough to Qi Refining stage eight in some time.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng felt a surge of emotion.

He had only picked up Bai Ling less than ten years ago.

And Bai Ling had only truly begun to Cultivate for about nine years.

In nine years, she was already close to Breaking Through to Qi Refining stage eight, which was incredibly astonishing.

He had checked Bai Ling’s status through the System’s Family interface.

Under the talent column, there was only a fifth-grade Spiritual Root.

But Bai Ling’s Cultivation speed could not be explained by a fifth-grade Spiritual Root at all.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng knew that Bai Ling’s Bloodline was even more astonishing than he had imagined.

He told Bai Ling about the Black Dragon Codex Cultivation Technique, stating that since she was now at the Qi Refining Late Stage, she should also consider Foundation Establishment.

“Will it affect having babies…?”

After hearing about the Cultivation Technique, Bai Ling’s first concern was the side effects.

She had grown up in Qingzhu Mountain and had seen Lu Miaoyun and others give birth to children for Lu Changsheng.

So, she always hoped to bear children for Lu Changsheng.

Not being able to conceive back then had made her sad and distressed for a time, and Lu Changsheng had to comfort her for a long time.

“As for having children, Brother will figure out a way to solve that. Of course, if Little Ling’er doesn’t want to Cultivate this one, Brother will teach you others.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately said.

He thought about teaching the Black Dragon Codex to Bai Ling also because of their Bloodline situation; it was already difficult for the two of them to have children.

In this situation, having this Black Dragon Codex or not did not make a difference.

Perhaps Cultivating the Black Dragon Codex could even solve this problem by using poison to counter poison.

If not, he could only find a way later to see if the System could draw Medicinal Pills or Heaven And Earth Treasure that guarantee pregnancy.

“I’ll listen to Brother.”

Bai Ling said softly, her voice sweet and tender.

“Good, tomorrow Brother will teach you to Cultivate this Cultivation Technique.”

Lu Changsheng held Bai Ling and said gently.

In a flash, more than a month passed.

Under Lu Changsheng’s guidance and instruction, Bai Ling had already begun to switch to Cultivating the Black Dragon Codex.

Her talent was excellent, and with Lu Changsheng’s teaching, she quickly got the hang of it.

This made Lu Changsheng look forward to seeing if Bai Ling’s Cultivation of this Cultivation Technique could reveal some aspects of her Bloodline.

During this time, Lu Changsheng, through the Dragon-blooded aquatic Yao Beasts acquired by Lu Miaoyun, had cultivated another ‘Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers’ and ‘Black Water Dragon Snake Dao Soldiers’.

After much thought, he demarcated an area in the fish farm for these two Dragon Carps and one Dragon Snake to live.

Otherwise, placing them in Bishui Lake would be too dangerous and affect the ecology.

As for their care, it was temporarily entrusted to his daughter, Lu Xiaoru.

He asked her to feed them while looking after the fish farm and notify him if anything happened.

Not long ago, Lu Changsheng received news through his concubine Zheng Yongwan that the Zheng Family had reached an agreement with the Xu Family and was about to become a vassal of the Xu Family.

At that time, the Zheng Family would marry a direct daughter to the Yu Shui Xu Family’s third Young Master, and the Yu Shui Xu Family would also marry a collateral female to a Zheng Family Young Master.

Upon hearing this news, Lu Changsheng did not say much.

When Zheng Yongwan first told him this news, he had already guessed that there was a high probability of the two Families succeeding.

He just didn’t expect the Xu Family to actually marry a collateral female to the Zheng Family.

Six days later, on this day, the Bihu Mountain Lu Family officially celebrated its first anniversary.

Lu Changsheng also held his first Family meeting to summarize the situation over the past year.
