Chapter 470: Convergent Transformation, Strange Insects (First Update)

(There was something wrong with the update yesterday, and it was corrected fifteen minutes after it was released. If you read the uncorrected version, you can go back to 90% of the progress of the previous chapter and review it.)

Since Patriarch Zheng is so magnanimous, Li Qing is happy to help. After all, he is also quite curious about the changes in the soul fish.

After the three of them happily enjoyed the whole soul fish feast cooked by Zheng Tuo, they strolled to the area where the soul fish was produced.

This is a small river with the origin of Muhunyuan. The water looks clear, but in fact it is quite dark, making people feel uncomfortable even approaching it.

Patriarch Zheng pointed to a ripple in the river: "Master, please look at it!"

Li Qing looked intently and saw a palm-sized soul fish swimming slowly there.

He stood on the bank, sensed the river, and found that it was full of ferocious energy, which was in the same vein as Muhunyuan's energy.

There are also plants in the river, but at first glance there are red, black, and dark green ones, which make people feel sick just looking at them.

It was in this environment that the soul fish emerged from the mud without staining and gradually grew up.

Li Qing raised his hand and made a move, and the spiritual fish fell into his palm. Then comes the second, third, and fourth items.

He carefully observed them one by one: "As expected. These soul fish have also transformed!"

Zheng Laozu and Zheng Pan also caught a fish each and investigated together and found that this was indeed the case.

Li Qing smiled and said: "This soul fish will not transform as a whole for no reason. If you think about it, there should be some changes in this small river."

As he said that, he looked around: "Would you two fellow Taoists want to go down together and take a look?"

Zheng Pan hesitated: "Master, the water in this river is quite polluted. I'm afraid..."

"Listen to the real person!" Old Ancestor Zheng interrupted him.

Zheng Pan reacted: "Listen to the real person."

Li Qing smiled, raised his hand and pointed, and the fifth-grade lotus flew out and landed on the river. Immediately, Xuanguang and Qinglian grew one after another, separating the filth in the area.

"Two fellow Taoists, please!"

With that said, he took the first step and landed on the fifth-grade lotus platform.

Zheng Laozu and Zheng Pan did not dare to go to the lotus platform, so they each found a green lotus derived from it to settle on.

Li Qing casually kneaded the secret, and there were sweet rain and dew falling from the sky, and sweet springs gushing out from below.

The three kinds of spiritual water and the mysterious light of the lotus platform protected the three people airtight.

Only then did Li Qing control the lotus platform and slowly sink the three people into the river.

Through the mysterious light of the lotus platform, the three of them could clearly see that there were several ferocious and ugly creatures in the river, which were particularly aggressive.

Seeing the mysterious light falling from the lotus platform, they swarmed up, banging their skulls and biting with their teeth, trying to break through the protection and feast!

Li Qing's spiritual consciousness swept through and found that if it were not protected by the azure light of Taihao Palace, there would even be a danger of being infected.

"No wonder Taoist fellow Taoist Zheng Pan didn't want to come down just now." Li Qing said with a smile, "It's really troublesome to deal with the river water..."

He randomly collected some strange creatures, studied them for a while, and threw them back after finding no surprises.

After throwing away a strange fish with six eyes, the three found a group of soul fish.

There are thirteen in total!

Zheng Pan couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is the first time I have seen such a large school of soul fish."

Seeing Jipin looking at him, he added: "I have been catching soul fish here for three years, so I am quite familiar with it."

Li Qing nodded slightly, pointed at the school of fish and said, "Why don't we follow them?"

Naturally, Zheng Laozu and the other two would not object.

The three of them used magic to cover them up and followed them quietly.

Then they were surprised to find that these soul fish were tracing back to their source and swimming in the direction of Muhunyuan.

Contrary to them, other ugly creatures can only flow down the river from that side.

"Look!" Zheng Pan couldn't hold his breath, pointing to the white field in front of him and exclaimed.

Li Qing discovered it first: "Huh? Why did a white lotus bloom under the water?"

It turned out that at the junction of the creek and Muhunyuan, in the deeper water area, there was a large white lotus blooming.

These lotus flowers do not have lotus leaves or lotus roots. They only have lotus stems connected to the roots below, rooted in the mud at the bottom of the river.

This piece of white lotus is leaning against one end of Muhunyuan, with a faint white light falling down, enriched here, and finally absorbed by them.

Those soul fish have already swarmed up and started to eat these white lotus flowers, eating very happily.

Other creatures in the river seemed to reject White Lotus, and under the influence of their aura, they were escaping downstream at a faster speed.

Li Qing saw it clearly: "This is not a spiritual plant of lotus originally, but a convergent evolution caused by the radiation of Pudu White Lotus!"

"The soul fish was influenced by the white lotus, and the spiritual energy in its body became more and more intense, so it realized the transformation."

Patriarch Zheng felt a little ashamed: "It's my Zheng family that has slacked off. I only thought about speeding up my practice by relying on the Purifying White Lotus, and forgot to check other influences."

Li Qing shook his head: "This is human nature. If I hadn't known about the transformation of this soul fish, I wouldn't have come to this river..."

After all, the water is so dirty!

Because soul fish can only grow in the tributaries of Muhunyuan, Li Qing did not deliberately catch them. Instead, he pulled out a few white lotus plants and put them in his storage bag.

He was going to go back and try planting the white lotus.

"Two fellow Taoists, the surprise I'm talking about is this piece of white lotus. Although the second-level middle-grade spiritual plant is not very precious, its reproductive ability should be particularly strong."

Ancestor Zheng and Zheng Pan both bowed to Li Qing: "Thank you, Master, for allowing me to add another layer of heritage to the Muhunyuan Zheng family."

The birth of the white lotus was influenced by the Pudu white lotus, and its discovery was also thanks to Li Qing, so the two of them were very sincere in their gratitude.

Li Qing shook his head and was about to leave the river, but suddenly his eyes fixed: "What is that?"

Zheng Laozu and Zheng Pan followed his line of sight and saw nothing: "Real person?"

Li Qing solemnly peeled off a white lotus, revealing a scarlet and pale intertwined insect.

This insect was full of fierce aura, which was of the same lineage as Mu Hunyuan. Even though Li Qing had the protection of Taihao Palace, his spiritual sense felt threatened.

He had felt the same aura in the Lingtao Secret Realm.

The polluted Lingtao tree standing outside the square had it on it.

Li Qing still remembered that the tree was very stubborn, and he tried every means and spent a lot of effort to refine it.

"Don't come over! Back off!" He waved his hand to stop Zheng Laozu and the others.

The two retreated as instructed, looking nervously: "Master, is there anything wrong with this bug?"

Li Qing frowned slightly: "This thing is extremely polluting, don't be careless!"

He didn't care about the pollution of the river water to his spiritual consciousness, and scanned the surrounding river water with all his strength. He was relieved to find that there was only this one.

At this time, his strength was far different from the second time he entered the Lingtao Secret Realm.

And this bug was obviously not as strong as the evil fallen Lingtao tree.

Li Qing took out a piece of thunder-struck Minglong wood, dug it into a small box that fit perfectly, and locked this strange bug in it.

"You two, this matter is of great importance, I will take this thing away first. If there is any other situation, I will inform you."

"You also remember to patrol this river frequently. If there are any more bugs of this kind, be sure to notify me." (End of this chapter)
