A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 318: The Python Transforms into a Dragon

Qiqi and Zhou Jingze flew into the sky, looked over the python and protected its safety.

The python trembled, enduring the pain of its skin peeling off. No one could help it at this moment. It had to work hard on its own.

After several hours of torture, the python raised its head and slowly emerged. Its new head had two small tentacles atop it, its eyes were larger and rounder, and it had grown several long whiskers under its chin. Slowly, its body emerged from the shed skin. Four sharp dragon claws had also grown on its body. It was now very weak, fearing an animal might attack it. It looked around cautiously and could not fly yet.

Qiqi landed and looked at the little dragon. She took out the pills and motioned for the dragon to open its mouth wide, popping a few pills into it to help it repair itself quickly.

Many animals also came nearby, hoping to take advantage of the python's weakness and eat it. When they saw Qiqi and Zhou Jingze, they retreated. They had seen these two evil spirits kill giant bats in the past few days, so they didn't dare to provoke them.

Soon, the dragon regained its strength, nodded its massive head toward Qiqi and the others, and took flight, circling over the secret realm.

Beneath the secret realm, Dark Green fiercely sensed the python's transformation. If it were still humanoid, it would have devoured the delicate dragon long ago. Now, it hated the old man for beating it back to its original form. It could do nothing.

The dragon flew a few circles and landed in front of Qiqi. It spoke in human language, "Thank you, two seniors, for helping me transform into a dragon."

"It's great that you can talk. It will be even better when you can transform into a human."

"Thanks to the good words from the seniors, I will work hard."

"Okay, I look forward to your transformation. Now we are looking for the passage down to the fourth floor. Do you know?" Qiqi asked.

"I know. I'll take you there."

The dragon flew ahead, with Qiqi and Zhou Jingze following behind. Led by the dragon, they quickly found the path down.

The dragon said goodbye and flew away, going back to its nest to meditate and consolidate its cultivation.

Qiqi and Zhou Jingze followed the passage to the fourth floor. They saw a large Chinese herbal medicine garden. There were many herbs that Qiqi knew. There were centuries-old ginseng plants as thick as arms. There were also centuries-old Panax notoginseng plants, all in bloom. The air was filled with fragrance. Bees were busy collecting pollen.

They also saw numerous beehives, made of unknown materials, none of which had rotted. Honey was flowing out, forming lumps as thick as jars, and it was unclear how many years the honey had been condensing. This floor was primarily planted with medicinal herbs and flowers. No animals were seen.

The old man didn't know what method he used to stop the beasts from coming to this floor to destroy the herbs and flowers. The two of them walked around but didn't find anything. It seemed that their cultivation was not enough to understand the old man's arrangement.

Qiqi was not in a hurry to store the ginseng, Panax notoginseng and other Chinese medicinal herbs into the space. She and Zhou Jingze discussed practicing the Heaven-Defying Sword on this level. The Heaven-Defying Sword has 9981 moves.

They first read books and practiced together. Qiqi and Zhou Jingze cut off many honey blocks with their swords and sent them into the space for Kong Ling to store.

Auntie Long also made honey water for the children to drink. Honey water contains many nutrients.

Qiqi and Zhou Jingze also drank the honey water and were indescribably delicious. Aunt Long had never tasted such delicious honey water in her thousands of years of life.

Qiqi told Aunt Long that this honey had been solidified for who knows how many years, and the water in it had long since weathered away, and all that remained were nutrients.

The children were all chattering around Qiqi and the others, happily talking about their recent cultivation progress. The little dragons were no longer shy and showed off their cultivation skills openly.

They often transformed into little dragons, carrying Xiaoyu and Xiaoya on their backs and flying through space. Qiqi's space had expanded significantly because she had saved the entire dragon clan.

Qiqi hadn't had time to look yet. Kong Ling had already taken the other children there. Behind the weapons mound lay a vast grassland. Kong Ling had moved all the horses from the dimension there, letting them graze and run freely. The children came here to practice riding whenever they had time. The dragons also frequently came here to practice flying. It was a paradise for both horses and dragons.

Kong Ling surveyed the grassland, where spiritual energy was even more abundant. He feared danger, fearing the children might be harmed if he failed to take proper care. He spent a day walking around the grassland and discovered a lake in the middle of the grassland. It wasn't very large, about the size of a gymnasium. The water was crystal clear, and there were many fish.

Kong Ling also looked. He saw all the fish species he knew. There were more of them than in the creek, but they were just not as big. He could raise them and then catch them to eat.

Kong Ling told Qi Qi about his findings. Qi Qi was delighted and told Kong Ling to keep an eye on the children. They ate with the children and then left the space to cultivate.

The two of them began practicing the first move of the Heaven-Defying Sword. After more than ten days, they had mastered three moves. They were now quite proficient. The more they practiced, the more they felt the sword moves were tailor-made for them. They were now able to practice with ease. They stayed there for a month, practicing until they reached the 48th move. They realized they had already mastered more than half of the moves and couldn't continue. They couldn't afford to waste any more time.

They found the path to the fifth floor and carefully went down the dirt stairs. There was a small pavilion down there, and the rest of the area was a lake. The water in the lake was very clear and there were fish in it.

Qiqi saw the fish and felt a bit hungry, so she quickly scooped up a few with her net: perch, silver carp, crucian carp—she caught a ton of them. Zhou Jingze also caught a ton, even more than Qiqi did.

She returned to the pavilion and took out the grill from the space. She also brought some fish into the space, asking Kong Ling to grill the fish for the children and Aunt Long. Kong Ling obeyed the order and grilled the fish in the space. Aunt Long also learned from the others and soon learned how to do it. She then helped Kong Ling grill the fish.

Qiqi gave Kong Ling a lot of barbecue ingredients. As she grilled the fish herself, she could smell its fragrance. These fish must have lived for who knows how many years, and they were full of spiritual energy. Qiqi took a bite and couldn't stop.

Zhou Jingze continued fishing, and Qiqi moved his catch into the space, fearing the children wouldn't have enough to eat. After she finished one fish, she placed several on the grill. She also took the net and went down to catch fish. He told Kong Ling that the fish that couldn't be eaten were kept in the grassland lake, because these fish were rich in spiritual energy and tasted very delicious. Catch more this time and keep them, and catch a few whenever you want to eat. I'm afraid I won't have time to visit the secret realm again.

They spent two quarters of an hour fishing, catching about a thousand fish, which they put back into the lake. They also netted several bags for the children to eat as much as they could.
