80: Chapter 80 Training Dao Soldiers!

Lu Shiyin sat cross-legged on the white jade prayer mat, closed her eyes to focus, and slowly circulated her Cultivation Technique, beginning to guide the pure wood-attribute Spiritual Qi within her body to dissipate gradually.

A faint cyan radiance appeared around her body, and wisps of Spiritual Qi, like smoke and mist, slowly drifted out from her hundred acupoints, permeating the quiet room.

Ye Changge stood quietly to the side, his Divine Sense like a web, meticulously covering every inch of the Spiritual Qi fluctuations around her, ready to intervene and provide protection at any moment.

The process of dissipating her cultivation lasted for three whole days.

Fine beads of sweat seeped from Lu Shiyin's forehead, and her complexion turned slightly pale, but her breath remained steady throughout.

When the final trace of Spiritual Qi belonging to the "Qingyuan Scripture" had completely dissipated, the light around her body vanished.

She exhaled softly, looked at Ye Changge, and revealed a smile that was slightly weary yet relieved: "Husband, I am done."

"You have worked hard."

Ye Changge stepped forward, wiped the sweat from her temple, and fed her a pre-prepared Medicinal Pill for recuperation. "Rest and regulate your breath for a moment, then prepare to re-cultivate the Taiyi Life-Water Art."

Lu Shiyin followed his instructions and regulated her breath for half an hour. Once the medicinal power had dissolved and her empty Meridians were nourished, restoring most of her state, she focused her mind again and submerged her Divine Sense into the jade slip containing the Taiyi Life-Water Art.

This time, with Ye Changge by her side explaining sentence by sentence, elucidating the crucial points, and guiding her insights.

"Tai Yi generates water; water benefits all things without contending... The circulation of Spiritual Qi should be like a babbling brook, emphasizing long-lasting nourishment rather than rapid, rushing torrents..."

His voice was calm, yet it went straight to the core of the Cultivation Technique.

Lu Shiyin was naturally intelligent, and her Comprehension Ability with a Grade Five Spiritual Root was also remarkable. Under his guidance, the originally profound and obscure scriptures gradually became clear and distinct.

It must be said that although this Cultivation Technique, created for his Dao Companion, was of an extremely high grade and profound in its Profound Truth, its entry threshold was considered "friendly" among techniques of the same grade.

Seven days later.

Inside the quiet room, a layer of hazy, azure radiance like water ripples gradually rippled around Lu Shiyin.

The radiance was soft and clear, faintly carrying the implication of nourishing all things and endless life.

Within her body, in her originally empty Meridians, a wisp of pure, soft, and long-lasting newborn Spiritual Qi was slowly being generated according to the path of the Taiyi Life-Water Art.

Lu Shiyin slowly opened her eyes, and it seemed as if a clear spring flowed through her pupils, adding a touch of gentle and transparent brilliance.

"Husband," her voice carried a hint of excitement and joy. "I... I have mastered the entry level."

Ye Changge had been guarding her the whole time. Seeing the changes in Lu Shiyin's appearance, which had become even more ethereal, he revealed a gratified smile, stepped forward, and took her hand.

"I knew you could do it. Next is the slow and steady work; you must persevere in polishing your Spiritual Qi and stabilizing your Realm."

Lu Shiyin held his hand back and nodded vigorously. "It is all thanks to Husband."

The two looked at each other and smiled. Ye Changge gently pulled her into his embrace and whispered in her ear: "My Shiyin now looks even more like a Fairy in the water."

Lu Shiyin's ears turned slightly red, and she gently punched him: "You are spouting nonsense again..."

The two smiled at each other, their breaths blending, and warmth flowed in the quiet room.

Ye Changge lowered his head and gave her a light kiss on the lips. Lu Shiyin's cheeks flushed slightly, but she did not dodge; instead, she gently wrapped her arms around his neck and snuggled for a moment.

After being intimate for a good while, Ye Changge finally let her go and said softly: "You consolidate your cultivation well, I will go out and take a look."

Lu Shiyin nodded obediently and closed her eyes again to regulate her breath.

Ye Changge walked out of the quiet room, and just as he arrived in the courtyard, he saw a familiar figure walking gracefully towards him; it was Lu Shiqing.

Today she was wearing a pale yellow dress, and a jade hairpin was pinned in her hair, with a touch of playfulness in her eyes and brows.

"What is it, Shiqing?" Ye Changge smiled and pulled her into his embrace.

Lu Shiqing's face turned red, and she muttered with a pout: "Didn't you say you wanted a Flood Dragon Fish King? I just heard from the disciples patrolling the lake that the largest black-scaled fish king in the depths of the Dragon Transformation Lake seems to have some unusual movements recently; the bulge on its head is becoming more obvious, and there is a faint sound of wind and thunder when it swims."

Ye Changge was overjoyed upon hearing this and kissed Lu Shiqing: "Thank you, Shiqing!"

He had been keeping in mind the method for refining Dao Soldiers recorded in the Ten Thousand Soldiers Dragon Control Canon, and the "Green Wave Flood Dragon Fish" was exactly the excellent material needed.

Currently, Longmai Mountain appeared stable, but in reality, it was near the demonic cultivation forces of the Yu Kingdom, and there were undercurrents at the border; he had to improve his own strength and that of his Family as soon as possible.

Without further delay, Ye Changge moved, turning into a cyan streak of light, and flew straight towards the Dragon Transformation Lake.

The Dragon Transformation Lake was vast, its water deep green, and the Spiritual Qi underwater was dense, nurturing many low-level aquatic creatures.

Deep at the bottom of the lake, in the dimness, a large black fish, whose size far exceeded its peers, was swimming slowly.

It was nearly a zhang long, its scales were dark as iron, the two bulges on its head were already an inch high, faintly gleaming with a pale gold luster, and the two fleshy whiskers under its jaw drifted with the water currents; it already had a few traits of a flood dragon.

Wherever it passed, the surrounding schools of fish retreated and bowed in respect, as if it were the overlord of this water area.

Just at this moment, a semi-transparent large hand condensed from Spiritual Qi appeared out of thin air in the lake water and silently grabbed towards the black Fish King.

The Fish King's spiritual sense was sharp, and it sensed it instantly. It whipped its tail violently, trying to escape, but the large hand was even faster. With a closing of the five fingers, it firmly grasped the fish in its palm, and an invisible power of confinement rendered it unable to move.

With a splash, the large fish was lifted out of the lake and suspended in mid-air, still struggling desperately, causing water to splash everywhere.

Ye Changge stood in the air, glanced at it indifferently, and slightly released his Foundation Establishment Stage Spiritual Pressure.

The Fish King was struck as if by lightning, stiffened, and did not move, its pair of fish eyes revealing human-like fear.

Ye Changge released his Divine Sense to carefully inspect this Fish King.

Indeed, the vitality within its body was far more vigorous than that of ordinary fish, its blood and Qi were surging, its bones faintly gleamed with a jade color, and especially at the bulges on its head, there was a trace of weak dragon-attribute aura hidden.

"Not bad, the foundation is very good; it really has the potential to transform into a flood dragon."

Ye Changge nodded with satisfaction, flicked his sleeves, and flew towards the secret room on Longmai Mountain with the Fish King.

Inside the secret room, Ye Changge took out the jade slip of the Ten Thousand Soldiers Dragon Control Canon and, according to the "Dragon Control Enlightenment Technique" recorded within, began to refine the Dao Soldiers.

He first mixed his essence blood with several types of spiritual Materials to draw a complex contract rune, which he then imprinted into the Fish King's forehead in mid-air.

The Fish King's body shook violently, emitting a silent roar of pain, its eyes filled with painful struggle.

Ye Changge waved his hand, sending out a gentle stream of Spiritual Qi to soothe its rampaging blood and Qi, while simultaneously continuing to inject the power of the contract.

Half a day later, the rune was completely integrated into the depths of the Fish King's Divine Soul, establishing an unbreakable master-servant connection with it.

Looking at the Fish King now, its appearance had undergone significant changes.

Its scales had all turned pitch black, gleaming with a cold, hard, metallic luster; the bulges on its head were even more pronounced, its fleshy whiskers had grown longer and thicker, and two pairs of small claw-like protrusions had even grown on its belly.

Although it had not yet fully transformed into a flood dragon, its form was already vastly different from ordinary fish, closer to the appearance of the legendary "Chi Wen".
