Chapter 1043 Cleverly Harvesting Immortal Fruits
Gazing at the ice crystal fairy flower growing at the highest point of the glacier, Li Qing's gaze became extremely intense once again. The second fairy herb appeared before his eyes, and this one was undoubtedly mature, its flowers in full bloom, emitting a misty aura that lingered around it.

This time, Li Qing did not act rashly. He knew that all the valuable medicinal herbs in this herb garden were protected by restrictions!
As expected, the probing flame extinguished before it even reached the glacier.

Immediately afterwards, a complex and intricate restriction covering the void appeared, and Li Qing's pupils suddenly contracted as an extremely terrifying aura rose up!

boom!
Several beams of spiritual light shot out from the restriction, aiming directly at Li Qing's location.

He didn't even have time to react much; he simply activated the spatial light within his body in a hurry, which was the fastest way for him to escape.

call out!
In a flash, the spot where Li Qing had just stood suddenly exploded, and he himself appeared more than ten feet away, narrowly avoiding the attack.

"How terrifying! This attack could definitely kill a cultivator at the peak of the Integration stage. Is this the restriction method set up by the Mahayana stage? It doesn't even allow simple probing and directly and accurately locked onto my location."

Li Qing said with lingering fear, "If I had been hit head-on by that terrifying blow, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

However, if that's the case, then there's no hope for the Ice Crystal Flower above. With his current strength and abilities, if he were to forcibly pick it, he would definitely meet a silent and deadly end.

Extremely unwilling, Li Qing had no choice but to forcibly look away. Although the immortal herb was incredibly valuable, it wasn't worth risking his life for.

"It's a pity. The only consolation is that the use of that fairy flower is unknown. Maybe it won't be of any use to me at all."

Of course, this was just a way to comfort himself. Even if its uses were obscure, it was still a supreme elixir. Using the immortal spiritual power contained within it as a medicinal catalyst was invaluable. Some peerless elixirs required this kind of immortal spiritual power to be refined. In addition, the legendary Flying Immortal Brew also required immortal spiritual power as a catalyst.

For countless years, no one has broken through the void and ascended to the upper realm in the spirit world. Anything containing immortal spiritual power in this realm has long since disappeared. This is why the legendary recipe for Flying Immortal Brew has been lost, and no one can brew it anymore.

Fortunately, there were some other valuable medicinal herbs in this icy and snowy land. Some of these herbs were not restricted, so Li Qing could pick them.

"The Black Jade Snow Spirit Ginseng is a rare immortal medicine with a medicinal age of ten thousand years. It has already reached the limit of its growth period, which is of immeasurable value to cultivators who practice the Ice Path."

As he spoke, Li Qing picked four 10,000-year-old Black Jade Snow Spirit Ginsengs from the surface of a glacier that was not protected by any restrictions. Each one was extremely valuable and could be sold for a sky-high price, provided that someone was crazy enough to actually sell them.

On the other side of the frigid herb garden, even the soil was frozen solid, and beneath the ice layer of this frozen soil lay a layer of icy blue lichen that looked like moss.

"Extreme Ice Lichen, excellent material for refining one-time-use treasures." Li Qing narrowed his eyes, immediately summoned his natal spiritual treasure, the Hunyuan Peerless Hammer, and began to break through the hard ice layer on the surface of the frozen soil to harvest these Extreme Ice Lichens.

This substance is also known as the Extreme Cold Moss, which contains a trace of the power of the Ice Dao Law. He had previously read about it in the inheritance of the Refining Heaven Pavilion. This substance cannot be used as medicine, but it can be used to refine a certain type of consumable treasure.

Time Condenses Pearls!
Although it's somewhat exaggerated, you can still tell how extraordinary this bead is from its name, which means that even time can be frozen for a short time!
Of course, it doesn't actually freeze time. Rather, once hit by this bead, even a cultivator at the Integration stage will be completely frozen, unable to do anything. Their thoughts will stop, and their physical state will remain at the moment before being frozen, without any change, just as if their time has truly been frozen.

Thinking this, Li Qing carved out a large patch of extreme ice lichen from the permafrost. He didn't dare to touch these extremely cold things directly with his own body, but instead activated his treasured cave to collect them.

"It seems that this herb garden is divided according to the seasons and climate. The herb garden I am in should correspond to winter, and the number of medicinal herbs is relatively small, far less than the previous herb garden. So it seems that the previous herb garden corresponds to spring."

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter—that is to say, this herb garden is divided into four sections. If I'm not mistaken, if you continue forward, you'll reach the autumn herb garden!

With this in mind, Li Qing did not linger and headed towards the next herb garden with anticipation. The medicinal herbs in the Winter Herb Garden were all gone, and the rest were tightly protected by restrictions. He could not think of any way to break through the powerful restrictions set up by the Mahayana cultivator. The Wanbao Ancestor, whose cultivation was infinitely close to the late Mahayana stage in his lifetime, had extraordinary abilities. Even though he had been dead for many years, Li Qing could not solve this problem now.

Before long, the scenery changed again. The extremely cold air around us had disappeared, replaced by a golden yellow that came into view. This golden yellow was not extravagant, but rather full of the charm of a bountiful harvest.

What Li Qing could see now was an endless field!

The golden spirit valley was bent into ripples, outlining the shape of the wind.

Looking at the vast expanse of golden ripples, Li Qing was truly stunned. He even suspected that these spiritually abundant grains were the celestial food that immortals in the upper realm consumed daily!
"No, only a few millet plants contain immortal spiritual power. The majority of the rest are Jade Golden Ear Millet, which have been mature for so many years. I really can't imagine how abundant the spiritual power contained in these millet plants is."

The autumn harvest medicinal garden only has this one patch of golden spiritual valley fields. Although it is monotonous, it has the advantage of being plentiful!
Unfortunately, the golden fields were still protected by the barrier, and Li Qing could only harvest some scattered grains of jade gold that had unexpectedly grown on the edges.

Even so, the harvest was quite bountiful, with all the grains weighing at least a hundred pounds.

"What is Ancestor Wanbao trying to do? Could it be that he plans to try to create a precious spirit brew recipe himself?"

After confirming that all the harvestable millet seedlings in the autumn harvest garden had been harvested, he became too lazy to try to break the restriction again. Those few millet plants that had produced immortal food were not something he could touch.

Li Qing didn't linger any longer and rushed to the next medicinal garden as quickly as possible.

In an instant, the surrounding environment changed again, and scorching air rushed towards him. This heat seemed to arise from the bottom of his heart, making Li Qing feel parched.

Midsummer in the Medicinal Herb Garden!

The earth was extremely hot, like a furnace that had been heated to a red-hot temperature. It was only because Li Qing cultivated the way of fire and his cultivation level was high enough that he was not affected.

The air was scorching and distorted by the temperature. He looked ahead at a tall tree with fiery red fruits on it, and upon closer inspection, he could see streaks of crimson illusory runes swirling around the trunk.

Li Qing is absolutely familiar with this!
He recognized it at a glance, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes as he said, "The Law of Fire!"

Indeed, he had personally witnessed a fragment of the Law of Fire in the Flame Domain of the Ancient Continent, which was exactly the same as that circle of crimson illusory runes.

However, these flame laws seemed to be conjured up, not real, and were far less solid than the fragment of a law he had seen in the Flame Domain.

Perhaps for this reason, or perhaps because Li Qing's strength has increased, the fragments of the Flame Law that he couldn't look at for long before can now be seen clearly for a long time. "This is a celestial tree, a Flame Celestial Tree that I don't know about. The Flame Fruits it bears probably contain some celestial spiritual power."

Today, Li Qing finally understood just how powerful the once-famous Ancestor Wanbao was; it was evident from his herb garden.

The herb garden is divided into four layers: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Each layer is planted with a kind of immortal herb that can only be found in the upper realm. If such a family fortune were to be spread, it would probably make all the cultivators in the Mahayana stage envious.

"I dare not imagine that if the secret of this medicine garden were to be revealed one day, I'm afraid all the top experts in the entire Spirit Realm would flock here and launch a strong attack on the Myriad Treasures Ancient Realm."

"If we count the few immortal herbs in the Autumn Harvest Herb Garden as one, then there are four immortal herbs here!"

Anything associated with the word "immortal" is destined to be of extraordinary value and will attract the madness of countless powerful individuals.

"This should be the last medicinal garden. It's really hard to give up on the fire-path immortal fruit that a single immortal tree has grown."

Today, he had already seen four kinds of immortal medicines, but returned empty-handed, which made Li Qing feel quite unwilling.

Although he still couldn't identify what kind of immortal tree it was, judging from the flame laws swirling around its trunk, it would definitely be of great benefit to a fire-based cultivator like him.

He even had a premonition that this Fire Dao Immortal Fruit was extremely important to him!
However, a layer of crimson restriction was still set up next to the Flame Immortal Tree, which was extremely well-protected. If it were touched, it would definitely be met with a terrifying counterattack.

Thinking this, Li Qing slowly approached, finally standing at a relatively safe distance, carefully observing the Flame Immortal Tree protected by the Mahayana restriction in front of him.

It was impossible to forcefully break through the restrictions here; he didn't want to perish here so soon.

However, after observing for a long time, Li Qing seemed to have finally figured out something unusual.

"Unlike the restrictions on other immortal herbs, this Flame Immortal Tree seems to be autonomously absorbing the fire-elemental spiritual power in this world, which looks like there's an opportunity to exploit it."

Li Qing muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the ancient Flame Immortal Tree. Its trunk had red veins that looked like blood vessels, and fire-elemental spiritual power seemed to flow within them.

Soon, he finally made a decision: he would try to overcome the barrier by watering the plants.

"This immortal tree prefers fire-based spiritual energy. Let's see if my spiritual energy can meet its requirements."

As he spoke, Li Qing nervously placed his hands on the ground, forcing out the purest spiritual power within his body, and approached the immortal tree in the gentlest way possible.

Of course, he was still taking the most thorough precautions throughout the process. If anything unexpected happened, he would use the spatial light to escape, and at the same time, he was ready to summon the Azure Bell and the Hall of Mental Cultivation at any time to resist any possible crisis.

He tensed up completely, as the pure spiritual power he had cultivated through the Crimson Blaze Heaven-Burning Technique was already close to that layer of restriction.

The moment he actually touched it, Li Qing was even prepared to use his spatial magic light, because a subtle ripple appeared on the surface of the restriction.

The bad news is that the barrier still rejected Li Qing's spiritual power, but the good news is that it did not trigger a counterattack!
"There's definitely a chance." Li Qing's eyes lit up after confirming this.

"This restriction should also serve as a filter. If the cultivation technique I practice is the Fire Dao Immortal Scripture and I have comprehended the laws of fire, I should be able to directly pass through the restriction and enter."

"The Crimson Blaze Heaven-Burning Technique is still not enough; what this Flame Immortal Tree needs to absorb is true Flame Immortal Spiritual Power!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Qing tried again with the Six Paths Spirit Fire he had subdued, but the result was the same. He was still rejected by the restriction. The level of power was too low and it was not qualified for the Flame Immortal Tree to absorb.

"If that's the case, then let's use the Flame of the Void!"

Li Qing murmured something, formed a hand seal, and began to unleash the only immortal technique he had ever cultivated.

The six spiritual flames of heaven and earth intertwined within his body, and Li Qing's magical power suddenly began to flow, being consumed at an exaggerated speed. Not only that, but even the Kunpeng divine power that had just recovered was completely drained.

With the blessing of the Spirit Fusion Technique, a phantom flame erupted from Li Qing's palm!

Under Li Qing's control, the Flame of the Void flowed rapidly toward the layer of restrictions, burning the earth to nothingness in its path.

This time, a miracle happened! The Flame of the Void was not blocked by the restriction and easily passed through it!
Upon seeing this, Li Qing's eyes lit up with ecstasy. It really worked!

But before he could rejoice for long, the Flame of the Void seemed to have encountered its nemesis, and began to flow uncontrollably toward the Flame Immortal Tree.

"Damn it, this Flame Immortal Tree absorbs the Void Flame to nourish itself. We might as well risk it all!"

Without further ado, Li Qing took advantage of the fact that he could still barely control the Flame of the Void and began to attack the few Fire Immortal Fruits on the tree.

The Flame of the Void flowed in response to the attraction of the Flame Immortal Tree, but just as it was about to be absorbed, it suddenly rushed toward several immortal fruits on the tree crown.

Boom!

The powerful impact carried the two immortal fruits out, flying out of the restriction in Li Qing's extremely joyful gaze.
