Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1151 Immortal Talisman Treasure
Following the Demon Lord's advice, Li Qing successfully stored all the town-suppressing stones into his cave world. Each one was crafted by an immortal from the upper realm and was undoubtedly a true celestial treasure.

However, this does not mean he will trust the Demon Lord. Li Qing remains vigilant at all times, in case the other party is up to some trick.

"How many suppressing stones would it take to form a complete Heaven-Reaching Killing Array?" Li Qing asked casually.

If he could obtain enough Zhen Stones in the Lingxiao Immortal Realm, his Zhuxian Formation Diagram might be able to undergo an upgrade.

But after hearing the response from the Xuan Tian Immortal Palace, he gave up the idea.

"As far as I know, a complete Heaven-Reaching Killing Array requires 100,000 Suppressing Stones, and each Suppressing Stone requires a True Immortal to spend tens of thousands of years refining it."

"The stones you see now are probably hidden away by a disciple of the Jade Void Palace. There shouldn't be many such stones in the Lingxiao Immortal Realm these days."

One hundred thousand pieces! A single stone of this power would require a true immortal to refine for nearly ten thousand years!
Hearing this exaggerated number, Li Qing couldn't help but twitch his lips. It was probably only a powerful force above the Immortal Realm that could refine such a product.

Not long after putting away the stone, Li Qing sensed something and took out a reddish-gold bamboo slip from his person.

The bamboo slip was radiating a scorching heat, as if it had been guided by some force.

"Those old guys from the Heavenly Demon Clan are really quick. They've only just entered the Lingxiao Immortal Realm, and they're already planning to open that Immortal Mansion." Li Qing rubbed the golden bamboo slip with his fingers, using it to sense the location of the other two bamboo slips.

A thousand years ago, several Mahayana ancestors of the Heavenly Demon Clan made a pact with Li Qing to enter the Immortal Abode together to obtain the remaining two golden slips and unlock the complete inheritance within them.

The fact that this golden slip is in such a state clearly indicates that the mysterious immortal abode has been disturbed, and the golden slip has responded accordingly.

Since he had nothing else to do, Li Qing decided to go keep his appointment.

boom!
Wind and Thunder Silver Wings appeared behind him, and Li Qing transformed into a streak of silver light, flying away at extreme speed.

The Lingxiao Immortal Realm is extremely vast, with complex and diverse terrain. During his flight, Li Qing also discovered the existence of many rare and precious medicinal herbs.

Unfortunately, it was just a spiritual herb. The only thing that could still excite him now was an unparalleled immortal herb. Even the oldest spiritual herbs held no appeal for him now.

And so, Li Qing flew for two whole days. Along the way, he occasionally came across a few immortal residences, but he didn't even glance at them and simply ignored them.

These immortal abodes are mostly the residences of some wandering immortals or ordinary true immortals from the upper realm. Because of a calamity that swept through the past, those immortals took away most of their possessions, and it was difficult for them to leave behind anything of value.

He only had four Immortal Jade Tokens. He had to keep three for entering the Immortal Palace, and the remaining one could only be used to enter one Immortal Abode.

After a long journey, they finally spotted several Mahayana ancestors of the Heavenly Demon Clan in a treacherous mountain range.

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Wuji, you've finally arrived!"

"Fellow Daoist, you truly keep your word!"

The elders of the Heavenly Demon Clan adopted a very humble attitude and used extremely flattering tones. Li Qing's reputation over the years had been so great that they felt a deep sense of awe towards him.

Li Qing chuckled, looked at Feng Muzi, and said, "I've kept you all waiting. May I ask where that immortal abode is?"

The old demon Feng Muzi chuckled and pointed to a waterfall not far away. It was a celestial waterfall cascading down from the mountains, its vast expanse of water vapor filled with rich celestial spiritual power.

“It’s inside that celestial waterfall. You can easily cross it by holding a jade slip. One of our clans has already entered it at the Mahayana stage,” Feng Muzi said.

Following the direction the other person was pointing, Li Qing raised an eyebrow slightly, his pupils radiating divine light as he tried to see through the immortal waterfall, but to no avail.

"Alright, then I'll go in and retrieve the second gold slip!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qing took a step forward and arrived in front of the immortal waterfall. He could sense the rich immortal spiritual energy all around him. Since his cultivation level was not at the True Immortal level, he could only look on with envy at the rich immortal spiritual energy.

Soon, a voice entered his mind. It was the Xuan Tian Immortal Palace's voice transmission: "This immortal mansion is not simple. It is like the residence of a Golden Immortal. Although the immortal restrictions around it have been cleared, the remaining restriction patterns are extremely profound."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing took out a Celestial Jade Token and rushed into the Celestial Waterfall with it in hand.

boom!
As a violent force struck his body, the surrounding scene instantly turned pitch black, and the Immortal Jade Token he held tightly in his hand transformed into a burst of immortal light that enveloped him.

Before long, a magnificent gate to a celestial abode appeared before him, the entire mansion shrouded in a protective barrier.

Bathed in celestial light, Li Qing easily passed through the barrier and entered the immortal palace.

The moment I entered the immortal abode, a dense demonic aura filled the surroundings. It turned out to be the residence of a demon immortal!

Immediately afterwards, a stunning picture of a demon immortal unfolded before Li Qing's eyes. It was a terrifying demon immortal who resembled a roc but had eight pairs of wings. Behind him, twelve suns formed from condensed demonic energy shone, extremely bright!
The moment Li Qing saw the scroll depicting a demon immortal, he felt a tearing pain in his soul. The existence recorded on it was too terrifying; even just looking at it affected him.

Before long, the Primal World Seed within Li Qing's body trembled slightly, immediately helping him to break free from the awe-inspiring image of the demon immortal.

Li Qing felt a wave of relief wash over him, and the almost tearing sensation in his mind disappeared.

"Is this the power of a Golden Immortal? It's terrifying." Li Qing murmured to himself, still feeling a lingering fear.

Just then, the Demon Lord sneered, "If a true Golden Immortal were standing in front of you, and you looked directly at him, you would probably have been annihilated long ago. Even a Primordial World Seed couldn't save you."

Li Qing did not refute this. Through the memories of the Demon Lord, he already knew that every Golden Immortal was an extremely powerful being among immortals. Their supreme Dao Fruit had reached the flawless realm. If any being in the mortal realm dared to look directly at their true form, they would be annihilated, as if they had suffered divine punishment!
"Hahahaha, the human race's Wuji Heavenly Venerable is truly extraordinary. He has shaken off the influence of this demon immortal scroll in such a short time. I admire him greatly!" A burly and robust man walked out from one side of the immortal mansion. Although he was in human form, his body was extremely dark, as if it were cast from obsidian.

This massive, dark figure possessed a powerful aura, vaguely indicating that he had reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm, not far from the late stage. Li Qing immediately recognized this powerful figure from the Heavenly Demon Clan as the Black Spirit Demon Lord!

This ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Clan was extremely powerful, a strong figure from the same era as the Yellow Spring Ghost Mother. He possessed two fragments of Chaos Treasures, both of which were not to be underestimated. When combined and activated, they could even unleash power comparable to a complete Chaos Supreme Treasure.

Legend has it that 100,000 years ago, this Black Spirit Demon Lord attempted to break through to the late Mahayana stage several times. Although he failed each time, he was not to be underestimated. Over the years, he has probably accumulated a very solid foundation.

"So you are the renowned Black Spirit Demon Lord, it's an honor to meet you." Li Qing clasped his hands in a fist salute to the other party.

The Black Spirit Demon Lord touched his shiny black bald head, revealing a set of white teeth as he smiled and said, "No wonder the Yellow Spring Ghost Mother died at your hands. The human race is too incredible. I thought that the two human Heavenly Venerables, Subduing Dragon and Taming Tiger, were already amazing enough. I never expected that a human Mahayana like you could appear in later generations."

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Hei Ling, you should refrain from offering flattery. Time is running out for the treasure, so let's not waste any more time," Li Qing said, shaking his head.

It's not easy to come to the Lingxiao Immortal Realm, and he doesn't want to linger here for too long.

The Black Spirit Demon Lord laughed and said, "No problem. I've already found the location of the remaining two golden slips. They're in the front hall of the Immortal Mansion. You and I can each take one."

"I was thinking that if you hadn't come, I would have taken that Immortal Demon Scroll with me. It's a remarkable celestial treasure."

After he finished speaking, he led the way, taking Li Qing into the front hall of the immortal mansion.

The furnishings in the front hall looked very messy, obviously the demon immortal left in a hurry and did not take everything in the immortal mansion with him. The specific reasons for this change are unknown.

In the front hall, two golden tablets floated in the air and could be clearly seen.

"Don't blame me for not warning you, once you step into the front hall, residual immortal pressure will descend, so you'd better be prepared in advance," the Black Spirit Demon Lord advised appropriately.

To retrieve treasures from the Immortal Abode, one cannot simply rely on an Immortal Jade Token to easily take away the treasures. Each Immortal Jade Token can only take out one item, and whether one can successfully access it depends on one's own fortune.

The lingering pressure of immortal power within this demon immortal's residence is also part of the test. If one cannot withstand it, then one can only abandon the treasures in the front hall and leave with some low-value golden immortal relics from the outer perimeter.

How could Li Qing possibly back down? He stepped directly into the front hall, and a terrifying divine might descended upon him. His body trembled violently, and even his Mahayana Dharma Body felt considerable pressure.

Seeing this, the Black Spirit Demon Lord followed closely behind and stepped into the front hall. He immediately manifested his Heavenly Demon Body to counter the terrifying immortal power within the hall.

Neither of them backed down. Enduring the lingering pressure of the Golden Immortal, they resolutely moved closer to the two golden jade slips step by step.

Crunch!Crunch!
Li Qing's body emitted a series of crisp sounds, as if bones were colliding.

This time, without the help of the Primal World Seed, he relied solely on his own strength to walk step by step to the ground beneath the Golden Scroll and guide it down from the sky.

call out!
Although the Black Spirit Demon Lord was lagging behind, he still managed to barely obtain the last golden slip.

"You can go out now!"

After saying that, the Black Spirit Demon Lord immediately withdrew from the front hall. The pressure from the Golden Immortal was too terrifying. Even just a trace of it was enough to severely injure him.

Just as Li Qing was about to leave, the Demon Lord spoke up, "Let's wait a bit. There are some other good things inside this immortal abode. Don't you want to take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing raised an eyebrow and asked, "What good stuff? Where is it?"

"Let's go check out the backyard of the immortal abode!"

After thinking for a while, Li Qing finally decided to go and take a look. He believed that the vision of this giant in the immortal realm was worth trusting, and there might really be some extraordinary things there.

After leaving the front hall, Li Qing took a roundabout route and finally arrived at the backyard of this demon immortal's residence. Surprisingly, there were many spiritual plants planted there, all of which were incredibly old.

Although it is not very effective for those in the Mahayana stage, he still has a desire to sweep it all away.

Unfortunately, each item he took away required a Celestial Jade Token as payment. Li Qing now had three Celestial Jade Tokens left, which he planned to use to enter a Celestial Palace and obtain a Celestial opportunity. He didn't want to waste them here.

"The good stuff you're talking about, could it be some ancient medicinal herbs?" Li Qing asked, frowning.

The Demon Lord replied, "Of course not, just look under those tables and chairs."

In the backyard of the immortal mansion, there were several jade tables and chairs. Beneath these tables and chairs, the ground suddenly bulged up, as if something was about to break through the soil.

The Xuan Tian Immortal Palace hanging from Li Qing's waist flew out first. He said, "This is... the immortal bamboo shoot of the Western King's Palace. There's actually a section hidden here? This demon immortal is so bold. He dares to keep this for himself. If the immortals of the Western King's Palace find out, I'm afraid he'll be suppressed by me for tens of millions of years."

However, Li Qing didn't care at all why hoarding a piece of immortal bamboo shoot was such a serious crime. He just wanted to know what this immortal bamboo shoot was for. It had the word "immortal" on it and the Demon Lord claimed it was a good thing. It must be something special.

Before he could even ask, the Xuan Tian Immortal Palace proactively answered, "Hehe, you really have struck it lucky! The immortal bamboo shoots of the Western King's Palace only grow to a tiny millimeter tall every 100,000 years, and are known as the three great immortal treasures of the Western King's Palace, along with the peaches of immortality and the nectar of the gods!"

"The three immortal treasures each have different effects. Among them, this immortal bamboo shoot, if consumed, can transform one's immortal body into a Xuanxian body!"

The so-called Xuanxian is similar to the body-refining immortal among immortals, an existence that can sweep away enemies with just terrifying brute strength.

Generally speaking, there are very few body-refining immortals in the immortal realm. Even some demon immortals would not deliberately choose the path of immortals.

However, if one can achieve some success in cultivation, even a True Immortal can rival a Golden Immortal. It's just that the conditions are too demanding, and the resources and energy required are far less than the improvement achieved by refining one's own Immortal Aperture!
