Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 684 Preparations before departure
The most important part of Li Qing's future practice plan is naturally to improve his own practice.

Although he is now a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, this is not the end point he has set for himself. Water flows to the low places, and people always have to go to the high places.

"But the only problem is that when you reach the Nascent Soul stage, it becomes increasingly difficult to improve your cultivation."

Li Qing sighed lightly. Even though he had subdued three spiritual fires of heaven and earth to enhance the "Red Brilliant Heaven Burning Art", and his cultivation speed far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators of the same level, it was still not good enough.

Because at this level, even a cultivator with a natural spiritual root cannot achieve a sudden leap in cultivation in a very short period of time. He has to endure for a long time and rely on slow and steady efforts to improve his cultivation bit by bit.

This is why it is said that many cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, after entering this realm, are unable to break through until their deadline approaches, and remain in the early Nascent Soul stage.

If hard work is not effective, then we can rely on some external forces.

Previously, Li Qing could find some corresponding elixirs in each realm to improve his cultivation, but the elixir used to improve the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage, just thinking about it, you can know how precious it is.

"I have searched through the inheritance of Chihuang Tianjun and the things left by Senior Bailing, but I have not been able to find the relevant recipe. I haven't even seen the name of the corresponding elixir."

"It is obvious that this kind of elixir that is useful even for the Nascent Soul stage has rarely appeared even in the ancient times."

Having said that, Li Qing's gaze fell on the dark room in his cave.

If he still wants to make significant progress in his cultivation now, all he can rely on is that enchanting blood lotus.

But the blood lotus needs a large amount of blood essence to be effective. In this world, he does not have so many ways to collect blood essence. Even if he goes out to sea again, it will be difficult to hunt so many monsters to support his cultivation in the Nascent Soul stage.

"Alas, there is only one solution for now, and that is to go to the polar night world!"

"Only in the Polar Night World can I hunt so many exotic beasts, and they won't attract the attention of other dangerous beings. I just need to explore a wider area."

Speaking of the polar night world, Li Qing remembered a lot of things.

For example, he had not gone back to see those registered disciples he had accepted in the Polar Night World for a long time.

At the beginning, when he was in the Jindan stage, he seized the Soul-Devouring Demonic Flame from a secret realm in the Jieye World. Then that secret realm collapsed and fell into the turbulence of space.

For this reason, he has never continued to move towards the polar night world, for fear that he would be caught in the turbulence of space and be completely torn into pieces.

After all, with the cultivation level of Jindan stage, it is still not enough to face such a disaster.

But he is now a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, and as he is proficient in the Kunpeng technique, he can temporarily merge himself into the void.

Moreover, he also possesses the black furnace with outstanding defensive power. If all these means are added together, if he encounters space turbulence, he should be able to survive to some extent.

"Speaking of which, the flow of time in the Polar Night World is three times faster than that in this world. So many years have passed, and I don't know what the situation is there now." Li Qing murmured.

Although his several registered disciples have already embarked on the path of Qi and Blood Martial Arts, and their lifespans far exceed those of ordinary people, they are not immortal cultivators after all, and no matter how long their lifespans are, it cannot be truly endless.

Plus three times the speed of time.
Li Qing felt that this time when he went there, he would probably have to see someone die before him again.

He did not rush to leave, but continued to list other equally important parts of his practice plan.

"I have to continue on the path of creating my own Taoism. Apart from anything else, the Dao Jie Wu Ji Sutra is still not perfect and needs time to refine it."

"There is also the issue of life span. If I continue to practice the Dao Jie Wu Ji Sutra in the future, it may shorten my life span."

From this perspective, Li Qing felt that although he had lived for over two thousand years, it still seemed a little insignificant.

If he wants to increase his lifespan, he must refine treasures. This is the most cost-effective and suitable method for him.

Since you want to refine a treasure, you naturally have to try to refine the Tongtian Lingbao.

At the moment, he has ideas for refining two celestial spiritual treasures, one of which is the Wind Thunder Silver Wings. He has successfully refined the forbidden version of this celestial spiritual treasure. Next, as long as he collects enough spiritual materials, he can start trying to refine it.

The other thing is to re-refine the black furnace. This furnace had another name in ancient times, called the Life-Destroying Furnace.

This was what Senior Bailing had told him when they were in the Secret Realm of Ten Thousand Beasts. Li Qing would naturally not forget it.

Re-refine the black furnace and make it regain the power of the life-destroying furnace.

"These two magical treasures, no matter which one I refine, will greatly increase my lifespan, and my strength will also undergo a qualitative change."

But unfortunately, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

The Tongtian Lingbao cannot be refined just because you want to. It requires spiritual materials, and the level of spiritual materials required is extremely high. Ordinary things cannot bear the power of the Tongtian Lingbao.

Regardless of whether it is the Life-Destroying Furnace or the Wind-Thunder Silver Wings, the spiritual materials needed to refine these two celestial spiritual treasures, even if the entire Lingyun Sect is searched thoroughly, at most only a few spiritual materials for auxiliary use can be found.

So we still need to collect spiritual materials!

After finalizing his future training plan, Li Qing found that he really had to go to the polar night world.

In the Polar Night World, not only can he wantonly collect exotic beasts to refine his essence and blood, he can also use the time flow rate in the Polar Night World, which is three times faster than in this world, to slowly ponder his own Taoism.

Then there is the issue of spiritual materials. The spiritual materials needed to refine the celestial spiritual treasures are rare and precious in this world, but they are not so popular in the polar night world. Maybe you can actually find one or two of them!

"But we can't just rely on collecting spiritual materials in the Polar Night World. We have to do two things at the same time, mobilize the sect, and even try to trade with the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce."

Thinking of this, Li Qing decided on the next schedule.

In the next six months, Li Qing issued two orders to the sect.

First, he asked the disciples in the sect to always be alert to the movements in the Great Wilderness in the south, and maintain close contact with the black market forces he sent to the Great Wilderness.

The second is to collect various spiritual materials used for refining equipment, especially the precious spiritual materials he wants. As long as there are traces of them in Qingling Territory, he has to collect information about them.

In fact, there was originally a third order, which was to continue to pay attention to the movements of the Prairie Temple Tribe.

But Li Qing thought about it and finally decided to forget it. Now he is already a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. As long as he lives, the cultivators from the grassland in the north will never attack him.

Li Qing was very confident about this. Even if an elder of the Grassland Temple Tribe succeeded in condensing a baby by chance, Li Qing was sure that he could kill him.

After doing all this, Li Qing took the initiative to go to Wanbao Tower to visit Tianbao Zhenjun.

After all, he was able to successfully condense his infant because of the great help provided by fellow Taoist Tianbao.

In the central area of ​​Qingling Region, in the Tianhe Market of Lingkong Islands, outside a certain extremely luxurious and imposing building, three large gold-plated characters "Wanbao Tower" were hung.

“Hahahaha, Fellow Daoist Wuji succeeded in condensing his infant and also eliminated his greatest enemy. These are two things worth celebrating!”

Inside the Wanbao Tower, when Tianbao Zhenjun saw Li Qing coming to visit him, a smile as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum appeared on his face.

He stroked his mustache with his hand and congratulated with a smile.

In response, Li Qing clasped his fists in return:
"This is all thanks to Fellow Daoist Tianbao. If it weren't for your timely help, whether I could successfully condense my infant this time would still be unknown."

Today, Li Qing has the confidence to call the other party Fellow Daoist Tianbao. Both of them are cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, so they are naturally addressing each other as peers.

In the past, they met in the large formation of their own sect. In order not to lose the dignity of his own Lingyun Sect, Li Qing gritted his teeth and called the other party "Daoyou Tianbao".

Although the other party has a kind personality, he still has some shortcomings.

Tianbao Zhenjun waved his hands again and again and said politely: "You are too modest. The reason why Fellow Daoist Wuji was able to successfully condense the Infant is that you are strong enough. I just played a minor role!"

"Hahaha, enough of the small talk. I just wonder what brings you here, Taoist Wuji?"

This time, Li Qing came here to ask for help.

"Fellow Daoist Tianbao, I have something to say frankly. Does your Chamber of Commerce have any elixirs or recipes that can help Nascent Soul cultivators improve their magic power and enhance their cultivation?" Li Qing asked his first question.

As soon as these words came out, Tianbao Zhenjun took out a palm-leaf fan and waved his hands while waving it, saying:
"This is a confidential matter of our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, and it is not easy to disclose it to outsiders. I hope you can forgive me."

"Even if I have a miraculous elixir of this level in my building, I can't trade it."

These words were spoken in a very obscure way, and Li Qing immediately understood the meaning behind them.

Wanbao Chamber of Commerce does have such a precious elixir recipe, but due to confidentiality, the other party cannot even reveal the name of the elixir.

Li Qing, who guessed the hidden meaning of these words, was secretly shocked. He thought that the background of Wanbao Chamber of Commerce was really terrifying, and it even had a collection of such rare pill recipes.

"I see. I understand now." Li Qing clasped his fists again and apologized for his rudeness.

In fact, this is very normal. Such a rare and precious elixir is an extremely important secret no matter which force in the lower world it belongs to. It is impossible to use it as a trading item.

There won’t even be enough time to use it to train our own Nascent Soul cultivators!

So, Li Qing casually threw out the second request of his trip.

"I want to refine a magic weapon, but now I am having a headache for spiritual materials. I wonder if your chamber of commerce has any collection?"

As he spoke, Li Qing handed over a bamboo slip that recorded the spiritual materials he needed.

Tianbao Zhenjun took the bamboo slips handed to him by Li Qing with a smile on his face. After he saw the names of the spiritual materials recorded on them, the smile on his face froze instantly.

A pair of fourth-stage late-stage demon bird wing bones, empty moon crystal sand, and high-grade thunder sound bamboo.
"Uh, cough, fellow Daoist, although my Wanbao Chamber of Commerce claims to have collected all the treasures in the world, it doesn't mean we can have everything we want!"

Tianbao Zhenjun coughed and was also shocked by the spiritual material that Li Qing wanted.

Any of the spiritual materials mentioned above are extremely rare in the world and are almost impossible to circulate in the outside world.

Even the headquarters of his Wanbao Chamber of Commerce may not be included!

Hearing what the other party said, Li Qing couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but he quickly dispelled this disappointment.

After all, the things he wanted were all spiritual materials used to refine the Tongtian Lingbao, so they were naturally extremely precious.

"It's not necessary to do it right away. I just want to ask Fellow Daoist Tianbao to keep an eye out for relevant information for me in the future. If there is any news, just inform me." Li Qing also smiled bitterly.

Tianbao Zhenjun's expression eased a lot. He nodded slowly and then said:

"That's fine, but I have to tell you that even if such rare spiritual materials do appear, they will be traded away immediately."

Li Qing naturally understood this, but there was nothing he could do. The Wanbao Chamber of Commerce had many connections, so he could only pin part of his hopes of collecting all the spiritual materials on them.

After explaining the matter, Li Qing clasped his fists and left Wanbao Tower in Tianhefang City.

Inside the building, Tianbao Zhenjun watched Li Qing disappear into the horizon, and then murmured to himself with emotion:

"This person is really not a simple person. With the aptitude of four spiritual roots, he has successfully condensed his infant before the age of 200. He also controls three spiritual fires of heaven and earth. His luck is simply amazing."

"After successfully condensing the infant, he was able to kill a cultivator of the same level by himself. This is not something that an ordinary person can do."

"Now we have to collect such rare spiritual materials. Judging from the quality of these spiritual materials, I am afraid that what we are refining is a yellow-grade Tongtian spiritual treasure."

Tianbao Zhenjun had seen through Li Qing's background in just a few words. The Wanbao Chamber of Commerce spanned many large domains in the lower world, so its intelligence gathering capabilities were naturally second to none.

After Li Qing successfully condensed his infant, Tianbao Zhenjun specially collected a lot of intelligence from the entire Chamber of Commerce. Finally, he found a lot of clues about the Great Wilderness from the Taoist name Wuji, and only then did he see Li Qing's background.

However, Tianbao Zhenjun naturally had no ill intentions. He then slowly picked up the pen and wrote two secret letters to the headquarters of Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.

One of the secret letters was sent to all branches of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, with the aim of drawing the attention of these branches to the rare spiritual materials that Li Qing had just needed.

The second secret letter focused on Li Qing himself. In this letter, True Lord Tianbao praised True Lord Wuji generously, and asked the people in the Chamber of Commerce to remember not to make enemies with this person, but only to make friends with him!
