Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1076 Purple Mountain City

Inside Yin-Yang City, Li Qing and his group briefly rented a cave dwelling. After making thorough preparations, they began to address the problem of excessive Yin energy in Su Ling's body.

"Qiyin, remember this: if anything goes wrong, immediately stop receiving the Xuanfeng Yin Qi. Do not be reckless!" Li Qing said solemnly.

Upon hearing this instruction, Li Qiyin nodded earnestly and agreed.

"I understand, Master. Seniors, let's begin!"

Inside the cave, Su Ling set up a small array, which resembled some kind of spirit array that gathered yin energy. This array had only two nodes. She and Li Qiyin sat cross-legged on the array nodes respectively, and then stretched out their hands and pressed them tightly together.

"Get ready, it's about to begin, young friend Qiyin. In a moment, you will use your cultivated Taiyin magic to seep into Ling'er's body and pry open the Xuanfeng Yin Qi hidden in her bloodline. Once the Xuanfeng Yin Qi in her bloodline is separated, this formation will draw it out."

"At that time, you can also guide these separated Xuanfeng Yin energies into your own body, and I will help you seal them!"

"As for Brother Wuji, the commotion later might be quite significant, so we'll have to trouble you to protect us!"

Li Qing nodded and readily agreed: "No problem, go ahead and use your spells. As long as it's not a Mahayana stage expert, no one can interfere with you."

"let's start!"

boom!
As Su Ling finished speaking, she pointed her finger, activating the formation within the cave. Spiritual light gathered around Su Ling and Li Qiyin, protecting them both.

Immediately afterwards, a clear and melodious phoenix cry rang out, but the group had already set up a sound-isolating barrier beforehand, so the phoenix cry did not spread.

But a phantom of a black phoenix appeared from Su Ling's body. The phantom spread its wings and sheltered Su Ling beneath it, as if protecting its master.

"Now is the time. Thank you, young friend Qiyin!" Su Yin said calmly and quickly.

Li Qiyin closed her eyes tightly. She channeled her true essence into Su Ling's palm through her own palm. The true essence, carrying a strong Yin energy, flowed into Su Ling's body through her meridians.

The next instant, an extremely thick Xuanfeng Yin Qi surged out. Li Qing, who was protecting him, frowned and showed a hint of worry on his face. He didn't know if his disciple could withstand such a huge amount of Xuanfeng Yin Qi!
“The Xuanfeng Yin Qi within Ling’er’s body will grow along with her cultivation level, so Brother Wuji, there’s no need to worry. Your beloved disciple only needs to draw away about 30% of this Xuanfeng Yin Qi. She has the Taiyin Body and can easily suppress this Xuanfeng Yin Qi,” Su Yin explained.

Li Qing didn't say anything. He nodded and focused on protecting them to prevent others from interfering.

At first, everything went quite smoothly, but as time went on, the formation here actually connected with the Yin and Yang energies within Yin-Yang City, and the Yin energy accumulated within the city was also stirred up.

Sensing the changes in Yin and Yang energies between heaven and earth, Li Qing's expression changed slightly. The Yin-Yang balance within the city had been disrupted. The Yin-Gathering and Yuan-Locking Array within the cave was affecting the Yin energy between heaven and earth, causing the Yin-Yang balance in the city to become unbalanced!
"If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have chosen another city." Li Qing frowned deeply, completely unprepared for such a thing to happen.

But he did not sit idly by and wait for his death. In order to prevent the imbalance of Yin and Yang energies in the city from affecting the people in the cave, he stepped out of the cave and used his powerful magic to suppress the excessive Yang energy.

But he soon discovered that this was futile, because the city had accumulated countless years' worth of yang energy, which was vast and profound, and it was far too difficult to simply block it up.

It is better to block than to open up!

Li Qing's eyes flickered slightly, and then he activated the Heavenly Fiend Fire, a spiritual fire of heaven and earth. Immediately afterwards, he also circulated the Dao Tribulation Limitless Scripture, using his own pure true essence to transfer yang energy into the Heavenly Fiend Fire, thereby refining yang into fiend!
During the refining process, Li Qing discovered that the Heavenly Fiend Fire was uncontrollably devouring his true essence and the abundant yang energy within the city.

He was slightly taken aback, and then realized that this was a sign of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire's advancement. His current true essence could upgrade the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, but it required an extremely large amount of true essence to feed it, which he hadn't had time to do yet.

"I never expected that the first Heavenly Spiritual Flame to advance would be the Heavenly Fiend Flame. I was planning to advance the Great Sun Golden Flame first." Li Qing said, and then proceeded to advance the Heavenly Fiend Flame.

With the support of the city's vast and abundant Yang energy, the amount of true essence required for the Heavenly Fiend Fire's advancement will be reduced accordingly, but the amount of true essence required will still be enormous.

A large amount of yang energy was devoured by the Heavenly Fiend Fire, thus transforming into a kind of evil energy called the Sun God Fiend. This is an extremely powerful evil energy, which is the nemesis of some extremely yin and evil things.

Li Qing multitasked, simultaneously activating the Controlling Fiends Secret Technique to collect all these solar fiends. These fiends would be of great use in the future; he could use them to temper himself and cultivate the Dao Tribulation Limitless Scripture.

The commotion here is getting bigger and bigger. Inside the cave, the Yin energy of the Xuanfeng is being transferred, while outside the cave, Li Qing is refining Yang energy into evil energy and simultaneously upgrading the Heavenly Fiend Fire.

In an instant, the surrounding area was transformed into a yin-yang furnace, and the very foundation of the city was shaken.

Such a violent commotion naturally alerted the cultivators within the city, and the city lord of Yin Yang City flew out following the source of the noise.

"Who has stolen the Yin and Yang energies of the city? This is an unforgivable crime! Senior, what brings you here?"

The Yin-Yang City Lord, who had originally intended to unleash a furious tirade, swallowed his words upon seeing Li Qing's figure, adopting a cautious and fearful demeanor, lest that malevolent star strike him with his sword.

The Lord of Yin Yang City was also a cultivator in the early stage of the Integration Realm. He had naturally witnessed Li Qing's power in suppressing the entire Yin Yang Sect all by himself, so he dared not act rashly now and immediately became cautious.

Li Qing, who was currently refining Yang energy into evil, glanced at the city lord and then replied in a calm tone:
"I will refine some yang energy here, which will not shake the foundation of the city. You can rest assured that it will be over soon."

Now that things have come to this point, how could the Lord of Yin Yang City be so tactless as to disturb Li Qing? He knew that even the old leader of the Yin Yang Sect had to bow down to Li Qing, so naturally he didn't dare to say anything more.

"I see. Senior Wuji, please rest assured, no one else will bother you!" The Yin-Yang City Lord clasped his fists at Li Qing, and then actually took the initiative to disperse the rogue cultivators who came from other directions in the city to join in the fun.

In this way, Li Qing was happy to refine this yang energy in peace and comfort.

And so, time slowly passed, and three days went by in the blink of an eye.

As a phantom image of a black phoenix burst forth from the cave, the entire celestial phenomena underwent a dramatic change. A black phoenix appeared in the sky before quickly disappearing again.

It was over, and there were no unexpected events. With Li Qing and the Lord of Yin Yang City guarding this place, no one dared to approach abruptly.

After confirming that things had come to a close within the cave, Li Qing suddenly pushed forward with one hand, single-handedly confronting the Yin and Yang energies of the entire city. His immense magical power allowed him to forcefully suppress the previously turbulent Yin and Yang energies back into the city. This scene terrified the Yin-Yang City Lord. This was something no ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator could accomplish. The Yin and Yang energy of Yin-Yang City had been preserved for nearly a million years, its density exceeding that of mountains, yet Li Qing had suppressed it all by himself.

It was terrifying. He couldn't even imagine what kind of cultivation technique Li Qing was practicing. The sheer power of his magic was absolutely comparable to that of a cultivator at the peak of the Integration Stage.

No wonder he was able to suppress the entire Yin Yang Sect single-handedly. That old sect leader's defeat was not unjust!

"Senior Wuji's abilities are extraordinary, I admire them!" the Yin Yang City Lord said respectfully. Although both of them were at the Integration Stage, he had unconsciously lowered his seniority in front of Li Qing and addressed him as "senior".

Li Qing smiled and said, "Thank you for protecting me, fellow Daoist. I will remember this kindness."

"How dare I! This is merely my duty!" the Yin-Yang City Lord said in a trembling voice.

Soon, commotion came from the cave. The first to emerge was Li Qiyin. She skipped and hopped to Li Qing's side, her little face beaming with excitement as she exclaimed, "Master, I can now temporarily break the seal and mobilize the Xuanfeng Yin Qi within my body!"

"With this Xuanfeng Yin Qi, I'm no longer afraid of even experts in the Void Refinement stage!"

As she spoke, she demonstrated to Li Qing. She silently recited a mantra, then formed a hand seal, and a phantom phoenix emerged from between her palms.

Li Qing was not surprised by this; it was quite normal for the Feng family's secret techniques to have such an effect.

The two stunning beauties from the Feng family also emerged from the cave. Su Yin smiled gently, then clasped her hands in a fist salute to Li Qing and Li Qiyin, saying, "Thank you for protecting me, Brother Wuji. Just now, the Yin and Yang energies in the city were out of balance, which almost caused an accident during the spell."

"Of course, your beloved disciple also contributed a lot this time. The Feng family will remember this favor. If you need anything in the future, just come to the Feng family to find us."

"Hehe, Senior Su, you flatter me. I didn't do much this time, it was just a small favor," Li Qiyin said with a smile, his eyes narrowed.

Su Ling also understood that she owed a great debt of gratitude this time. From now on, she would no longer have to worry about the problem of the Xuanfeng Yin Qi eroding her meridians. The bloodline problem that had troubled her for many years was also completely resolved, which was a major relief for her.

"This is the Xuanfeng Feather I mentioned before. Consider it payment for your help this time. Thank you so much, Brother Wuji." Su Ling avoided eye contact with Li Qing.

Li Qing naturally accepted the phoenix feather that Su Ling handed him without any hesitation.

Although it is not the only true feather of its birth, it is still extremely rare and precious. This phoenix feather is extremely long, about the height of a person. Judging from the aura emanating from the feather, it is definitely a feather from an adult phoenix!

Such a treasure is probably something that no other force besides the Feng family could produce.

After accepting the Phoenix Feather, Li Qing solemnly thanked her, saying, "Then I thank Fairy Su Ling."

Such a phoenix feather is indeed very precious and can definitely serve as an important material for refining a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure. However, to truly refine it, at least some other precious materials with compatible properties must be collected.

"Alright, now that this matter is settled, I won't stay any longer. Farewell!" Li Qing clasped his hands in a fist salute once more.

Su Ling and Su Yin nodded and clasped their hands in farewell.

"Until we meet again, Brother Wuji!"

"Well, take care, Brother Wuji."

And so, Li Qing led Li Qiyin directly to the teleportation array inside the city, intending to use the array to leave.

After entering the teleportation space, Li Qiyin said with a hint of exasperation, "Master, you're so clueless about romance! Those two fairy sisters are direct descendants of the Feng family. If I could marry one of them as my master's wife, my cultivation path would be much easier! Besides, it seems like they both have a soft spot for you. If word got out, it would be quite a story!"

Without turning his head, Li Qing flicked her forehead with his finger.

"Stop talking nonsense. The path of cultivation depends on yourself."

"Besides, you do have a mistress, she's just not by my side."

At this point, Li Qing, who was in the teleportation space, pressed a finger on a bright star on the star map.

hum!
Starlight blazed within the teleportation space, instantly enveloping her and Li Qiyin's bodies.

Before Li Qiyin, who had been looking on with a gossipy expression, could say anything more, his voice was cut off.

Before long, the two appeared in a bustling city. This immortal city was backed by a giant purple mountain, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was extremely rich.

"Hey, Master, aren't we going back to Star River City? This is Purple Mountain City?" Li Qiyin tilted his head and asked with a puzzled look.

Purple Mountain City is the territory of the Spirit Control Sect. There are many merchant guilds and strongholds of other forces in the city. The Spirit Control Sect attaches great importance to trade and has been trying to build this city into the most prosperous trading city in the human realm.

It is precisely for this reason that many independent cultivators come and go in the city, because they can buy many precious spiritual items that are rarely seen in the outside world in this city.

The gate of the Yuling Sect is located on the summit of the majestic Purple Mountain behind the city. The area is shrouded in mist and is extremely deep, making it impossible to see the mountain from below, as it is obscured by an array.

"I promised an old friend that I would kill two people for him once I was strong enough. Now that I know the whereabouts of the last one, there is no need to delay any longer."

Li Qing's tone was calm and indifferent, as if he didn't care about the matter at all, as if he were just going to eat and drink.

After saying that, he led Li Qiyin out of the teleportation array and directly into Zishan City.
