Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 685 Giant Mushroom City
After explaining his orders to the sect, Li Qing did not leave immediately, but continued to meditate silently in the cave for a long time.

Three years passed in a flash. Nothing noteworthy had happened in the entire Qingling Region, and the world of immortal cultivation remained peaceful.

During this period, Lingyun Sect held another Ascension Conference, and the scale of the sect became much larger again.

Today, the Lingyun Sect has more than 10,000 people in total. Not to mention that the disciples are spread all over the Qingling Region, but their influence radiates far away. The Qingling Region has been further controlled by the Lingyun Sect.

The whole region is united, and one call will attract a hundred responses!
In addition, with the presence of a Nascent Soul ancestor in the sect, the Lingyun Sect now really has the aura of an immortal overlord.

During these three years, Li Qing has been focusing on cultivating the Fire Jade Queen Bee.

He continuously fed the Fire Jade Queen Bee with three spiritual fires, and never stopped in the past three years. In order to make it grow, Li Qing even went so far as to place Fire Spirit Beads in the Red Jade Beehive.

Finally, when he was about to leave, the Fire Jade Bee Queen finally showed signs of advancement!

"She has fallen into a deep sleep. This should be a sign that the Fire Jade Bee Queen is advancing."

Li Qing carefully observed the queen bee sleeping in the ruby ​​beehive. Through his powerful spiritual sense, he saw that the queen bee's aura was getting stronger during her sleep.

While the Fire Jade Bee Queen was sleeping, all the Fire Jade Bees in the entire hive were on high alert.

In other words, Li Qing has been staying next to the ruby ​​beehive in the past few years, making these fire jade bees accustomed to his presence, otherwise they would definitely regard Li Qing as an enemy.

Of course, Li Qing would not take the threat of some ordinary Fire Jade Bees seriously.

In this way, after some observation, Li Qing determined that the Fire Jade Bee Queen's slumber this time would probably be a relatively long process.

When it wakes up, it will become a third-level spirit insect!

Such an existence would definitely cause headaches for many Jindan stage cultivators.

"Alright, little guy, just slowly fall asleep and transform. This old ancestor will leave you in the cave."

After saying that, Li Qing did not forget to leave a spiritual beacon in the ruby ​​beehive. When the fire jade bee queen wakes up from her slumber and completes her transformation, she will receive orders from Li Qing.

That is to allow the other party to continue to develop in the hive after waking up. He left a lot of spiritual fire sources in the cave, so that the Fire Jade Queen Bee will still have food when Li Qing is away.

After doing all this, Li Qing continued to activate several spiritual fires of heaven and earth, and sealed a lot of spiritual fire sources in the cave.

However, Li Qing estimated that the Fire Jade Queen Bee would not be able to eat up all the spiritual fire sources he had sealed up, because it seemed that this transformation would take at least several years, and by then he might have returned from the Polar Night World.

However, Li Qing now has boundless magical power, so he doesn't need to worry about these consumptions.

Afterwards, Li Qing planned to set off and return to the polar night world.

And it was at this moment that a condensed aura suddenly rose up from the mountain gate of Lingyun Sect.

boom!
Li Qing, who was about to leave, was slightly startled, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"As expected of the holder of the Water Spirit Pearl, Su Xin has cultivated to the late stage of Jindan so quickly."

Yes, this aura was Su Xin entering the late stage of Jindan, which immediately attracted the attention of many disciples of Lingyun Sect.

Judging from the stability of his aura, it should be a sure thing for Su Xin to break into the late stage of Jindan this time, and there will be no accidents.

In this way, Lingyun Sect will be even more powerful in the future. Even if Li Qing is away for a short period of time, it can still develop steadily. With the fourth-order formation guarding the mountain gate, it can be worry-free for a long time!

Li Qing, feeling much more at ease, can finally continue to explore the polar night world without any worries.

Before leaving, Li Qing called Fan Tong, who was taking a rest at the foot of Qingyun Peak, back to the cave, and then put it back into the beast-taming bag.

Since we are going to the polar night world, then naturally the glutton has to go with us.

During these years, Foolish had been sleeping in the sect, digesting the energy of the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Fruit in his body, and his temperament had become increasingly lazy.

This time, Li Qing went to the Polar Night World to see if he could find a few more opportunities for it. At the very least, he could kill a few third-level exotic beasts and dig out the red crystals to feed the food bucket.

Finally, he took out the black furnace for self-defense. After making sure that all the protections had been fully achieved, Li Qing entered the state of traveling between the two worlds for the first time in a long time.

hum!
After a slight dizzying moment, the surrounding scene disappeared and shattered like a bubble.

When Li Qing opened his eyes again, the scenery around him had changed drastically.

The expected space turbulence did not occur, which made Li Qing feel fortunate.

Even though he was a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, he didn't want to face such dangerous things.

After all, when he left the Midnight World, the Soul Devouring Realm where he was was collapsing.

"It seems that the spatial turbulence formed after the collapse of the Soul Devouring Realm did not last too long, but where am I now?"

The surrounding environment was extremely unfamiliar and did not match any place in the polar night world that Li Qing remembered.

This is not the rocky mountain range outside the Soul Devouring Realm. Li Qingchu thought that the spatial turbulence caused by the collapse of the soul realm had destroyed the external environment as well, but after he released his spiritual sense, he was sure that this was not the case.

He suspected that he was not even in Qiushan Territory anymore!
This is a river valley area. Li Qing is standing on a high slope beside a winding river. There are fine sand and gravel piled up on the river beach, which looks very desolate.

The most noticeable thing is that from time to time strange objects jump out of the river. Li Qing used his spiritual sense to investigate and found that these strange objects were not fish, but half-rotten roots.

These roots actually came from huge clams at the bottom of the river. Whenever the clams opened and closed their shells, they would shoot these rotten roots out of the river, as if they were luring something.

At this moment, a night bat with three strange eyes flew over from the sky. It tried to fly over the river to prey on foreign objects that jumped out of the river.

But before it could open its claws, the night bat was entangled by several rotten roots, and then was dragged to the bottom of the river without any suspense, without even a struggle!
The next moment, the unfortunate night bat was eaten up by several strange clams at the bottom of the river. Li Qing saw it all clearly with his spiritual sense.

“Where is this?”

Li Qing subconsciously raised his head and made sure that there was still a red moon hanging high in the sky. If not, he would even doubt whether he was still in the polar night world.

The red moon hangs high in the night sky. It must be the polar night world, but why did he come here?

"When I travel between the two worlds, shouldn't I return to the same place I left from?"

"It seems that after the original space collapsed and formed turbulence, the spatial coordinates of the location also turned into nothingness."

Li Qing muttered to himself, then patted the beast bag and released the rice bucket.

"Ow!"

"Brother, you're finally back!"

The rice bucket smelled the familiar smell in the air at the first time, and soon knew that it had returned to the polar night world, and became extremely excited for a while. "Well, this time I came to see if I can find you some high-level red crystals to help you better digest the beast spirit fruit in your body." Li Qing said calmly.

When he heard that this time they came to find high-level red crystal for it, Fan Tong became even more excited.

Although it had the help of the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Fruit, its strength improvement was still a bit slow. After all, it was just a demon beast. Even if it obtained the inheritance and bones of the Heavenly Demon Tiger, it could not improve its strength as quickly as humans.

The biggest advantage of monsters is that they have a very long lifespan, and they can improve their strength through hard work.

However, the appearance of red crystal in the polar night world allowed Fantong to break this limit repeatedly.

In fact, its lifespan is less than two hundred years. Even in the demon realm, such a third-level demon beast is extremely rare.

"But we haven't figured out where this is and what the situation is yet, so it's best to be cautious and restrained."

As he said that, Li Qing sat on the back of the rice bucket and began to explore this strange world while riding a tiger for the first time in a long time.

Under Li Qing's control, Fan Tong did not fly in the air, but ran on the ground.

However, during this process, the strong tiger power on Fan Tong's body was released involuntarily, frightening all the living creatures in the surrounding area and making them tremble in fear, and they dared not show their heads at all.

Ever since he inherited the roots and heritage of the Heavenly Demon Tiger in the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts, Fan Tong has developed a unique aura of pressure, which is the powerful aura of the Heavenly Demon Tiger clan!

After running all the way through the river valley, we came to a vast plain. However, there was no grass or birds flying in the plain, only clusters of various mushrooms.

From time to time, there were some weak beasts lurking underground, but because they were too weak, Li Qing and Fan Tong had no interest in them.

"It's a bit strange. We ran so far and not only did we not see any human traces, we couldn't even see a powerful third-level monster."

Li Qing frowned slightly. During this period, he kept his spiritual sense outward, but was unable to find any useful clues.

Finally, after another extremely long journey, Li Qing finally understood why the surface of the earth was so sparsely populated.

In the dark night sky ahead, a majestic and huge black shadow suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

Li Qing took a closer look and couldn't help but raise his brows.

It was actually a mushroom that truly blocked out the sun and the sky. No, it should be called a mushroom!

Because even the majestic mountains and rivers would seem small compared to it. This mushroom rises from the ground, and its mushroom umbrella actually supports a building, and you can't see the end at a glance!

The thin red moonlight sprinkled down and illuminated this giant mushroom city, making it look so absurd and weird.

Li Qing, who was sitting on the back of the food bucket, couldn't help but take a breath when watching this scene.

He thought of the magic willow in the Black Wind Region, which was equally huge, but the former was bloodthirsty and any living creature that approached would be killed and turned into nutrients.

However, this giant mushroom actually has a building on top.

The existence of buildings means there are people there. This is a peculiar civilization.

After a little thought, Li Qing decided to get closer and take a look, both to find out about the situation in this area and to satisfy his own curiosity.

Under the Mushroom City, strands of hyphae hang down and turn into a broad road connecting the ground and the sky above the Mushroom City.

However, this city has become a world of its own, and few people come here.

Li Qing bathed in the blood moon, riding on his rice bucket and flying in the air, finally approaching the edge of the Mushroom City.

He released his spiritual sense, and after confirming that the huge mushroom had no reaction, he let the rice bucket slowly land on the mushroom umbrella.

After being there in person, Li Qing felt even more deeply the enormity of this mushroom. Even though he had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, he still felt a sense of insignificance in his heart.

"This giant mushroom city is quite interesting. The smaller mushroom trees here divide the city into different areas."

Thinking of this, Li Qing continued to release his spiritual sense, and he finally saw the first intelligent creature after returning to the polar night world.

It was a short human with bat wings. This bat man was carrying a huge wooden barrel and flying staggeringly in the air.

Li Qing did not make a sound to disturb the other party, but hid his body and secretly followed the bat man deep into the mushroom city.

I saw the bat man flying with great effort all the way and came to an area shaded by several mushroom trees.

Soon Li Qing was greatly surprised. These mushroom trees actually opened their eyes and then moved with a roar.

Li Qing thought of a being called tree spirit. He didn't expect to see mushroom tree spirits here.

The mushroom tree spirit moved, opening a deeper path for the bat man. From this point on, it was impossible for Li Qing to follow silently.

Fortunately, he has spiritual awareness, and it can extend over a very wide distance.

As his spiritual consciousness spread out, Li Qing saw that behind the obstruction of these mushroom tree spirits, there was a powerful third-level monster bound there.

This is a giant sheep covered with solid scales. Its horns seem to be cast from steel and look very hard.

However, even such a powerful third-level monster had wounds all over its body, some of which had not even healed yet, and blood was constantly flowing out, soaking into the surface of the giant mushroom.

Fan Tong also sensed the presence of the third-level monster inside. It couldn't help but open its mouth and wanted to roar to vent its fighting spirit, but was stopped by Li Qing.

However, the iron-scaled giant sheep seemed to be extremely sensitive. It seemed to sense the breath of the glutton and then roared:

"Bah!"

A sheep's cry suddenly rang out, scaring the bat man who was standing very close to it so much that he trembled all over and almost fell down.

"This is really strange. Why is the monster so violent?" The bat man complained, and then tremblingly dumped out the wooden barrel he was carrying.

There were a large number of blood and flesh spores inside. After the Iron-Scaled Giant Sheep sensed these spores, it immediately stopped roaring and began to chew and swallow these bloody spores in big mouthfuls.

The next moment, after these flesh and blood spores were swallowed by it, a large amount of scarlet blood flowed out from the unhealed wounds on the Iron-Scaled Giant Sheep again.

The blood was poured onto the giant mushroom that supported the city, adding nutrients and strength to its survival.

Seeing this, Li Qing finally understood why no powerful beasts had been seen in this area.

It turned out that they were all captured in this giant mushroom city and tied up, becoming blood slaves that provided animal blood.
