Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 686: The Lord of the Castle
There are quite a few third-level exotic beasts like the Iron-Scaled Giant Sheep imprisoned in the Giant Mushroom City. Li Qing found more than ten such third-level exotic beasts during his search.

In addition, he also discovered a common point among them, that is, after these strange beasts devoured a large amount of flesh and blood spores, a large wave of blood would gush out from the wounds on their bodies, continuously as if there was no end!
"These flesh and blood spores are quite interesting. They are specially used to stimulate blood flow. After eating them, so much blood can flow out of the body."

"I don't know where it came from. Could it be produced from this giant mushroom under my feet?"

Li Qing, who was hiding in the city, whispered to himself, his eyes lighting up.

The blood lotus he raised in his cave needed a large amount of blood to nourish and cultivate. If this method could be used, the cultivation speed would be much faster.

Li Qing can also gain great benefits from this. Not only can he replenish his life source in large quantities, but he can also quickly improve his cultivation.

"The blood lotus is a product of the Midnight World. It should be able to absorb blood catalyzed by flesh and blood spores like this giant mushroom to obtain nutrients."

After Li Qing finished speaking, he already had a plan in his mind.

He planned to take control of this giant mushroom city in his own hands, and then use the same method to extract blood to strengthen the blood lotus and himself.

"It seems that the most urgent task right now should be to find out who actually controls this city and the source of those flesh and blood spores!"

As soon as he thought of this, Li Qing's figure flashed and quickly disappeared from the spot.

In the Giant Mushroom City, there is indeed no one with a normal appearance. Everyone has undergone some kind of abnormality.

But the residents of this city live a pretty good life. Although their bodies have changed, as long as everyone is like this, everyone has gotten used to it over time.

So many years have passed, and the people in the city have changed generation after generation. Now, these strange people have long forgotten what the original appearance of humans should be like.

In fact, Li Qing didn't need to hide his figure like this. Even if he walked openly on the streets of the city, other strangers would not be curious about his normal appearance.

But he still chose to hide his existence, all out of caution.

After all, in this mushroom city, there must be some expert who can imprison and restrain so many level three exotic beasts.

In this way, Li Qing went deeper into the city and finally approached the center of the mushroom city.

There was only a lonely ancient castle standing there, with almost no signs of any living creatures around it.

Li Qing, with a tall and straight figure, looked into the distance for a while and then took a step forward.

But soon, a loud roar suddenly came from the castle.

A figure wearing a linen robe and cloak slowly walked out of the ancient castle. On his forehead, there were wrinkles similar to those of Ganoderma lucidum. Under these wrinkles, a pair of eyes with a hint of coldness and majesty were revealed.

The man was leaning on a cane of unknown material. His steps were slow and steady, yet contained a unique rhythm.

"Outsider, you have been wandering around this city for a long time and finally came to the outside of my castle. Do you want to meet the Lord of Sacrifice Spirit?"

Li Qing, who had been hiding his existence, never thought that he would be discovered like this!
After confirming that the man with a crutch in front of him had truly discovered his existence, Li Qing simply stopped hiding and slowly removed the concealing spell on his body, revealing his figure.

"How did you discover my existence?" Li Qing frowned slightly and asked his first question.

He was very interested in this. You know, as a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, he was extremely confident in his hiding skills. He didn't think that this person who had no cultivation at all could perceive his existence.

However, this person smiled faintly. He looked at Li Qing with a compassionate look, and then spoke in a compassionate tone:

"You ignorant outsider, when you set foot in this great holy city, your existence cannot escape the perception of the sacrificial spirits."

"From the moment you step into this place, your every move is completely under my control."

"I didn't care at first, but when you avoided the city guards and came here unhindered, I knew that the person who broke in this time was not an ordinary person."

Having said this, the man looked at Li Qing again, and then said:

"With such vigorous Qi and blood, you must be the peerless strongman of the Blood Warrior Dynasty in the east."

"Tell me, what is your purpose here?"

The man spoke in a tone like a fanatical charlatan. His condescending attitude made Li Qing want to punch him.

But he still suppressed this thought because he noticed the Bloody Dynasty mentioned by this person!
The Blood Warrior Dynasty in the east. When Li Qing heard this, he felt it was familiar.

Li Qing thought about it and stated the purpose of his trip: "I want to know what the blood and flesh spores that feed the beasts are. If possible, I want to trade some."

Before he could finish his request for a deal, the old charlatan with Ganoderma lucidum growing on his forehead suddenly turned extremely cold.

"It turns out that he is a foolish and ignorant usurper. For many years, no outsider has dared to come to this area to usurp the holy position of the sacrificial spirit."

"It just so happens that the sacrificial spirit is also eager for the blood flowing in your body, so I will use your blood to wash away your disrespect just now!"

After all, we still have to fight!

Li Qing suddenly felt a little helpless. He spread his hands and suddenly a pair of wings spread out behind him, and he soared into the sky in an instant.

Looking at the pair of strange silver wings on Li Qing's back, the owner of the castle did not find it strange. He thought that this was a change in Li Qing's body, and he became even more contemptuous in his heart.

The next moment, the owner of the castle swung the cane in his hand vigorously.

boom! boom! boom!
I saw the huge mushroom below suddenly reveal a layer of mycelium.

Immediately afterwards, one after another strange beasts corroded by a large number of spores soared into the sky and killed Li Qing directly.

The aura of these strange beasts corroded by spores was surprisingly not weak. The worst one was at the level of a third-order strange beast. This surprised Li Qing.

But soon, he confirmed that these strange beasts were not living beings, but dead bodies!

The reason why he is still able to move is probably because of these spores that have corroded into his body.

"It's quite interesting. Can we use these spores to control the bodies of dead beasts? This method is rare in this world."

Li Qing nodded and spoke softly, but he did not rush to use his strongest killer move, but waved his hand.

The next moment, several figures emitting sinister energy rushed out from in front of him.

Corpse puppet!

These are the few corpse puppets that Li Qing obtained in the Fire Cliff Cave, including two third-level corpse puppets and three second-level top-quality corpse puppets.

This is definitely a powerful force. If an ordinary Jindan stage cultivator encounters this kind of situation, he will definitely turn around and run away.

But the other side now had a large number of corpses of exotic beasts that it could mobilize, and the two sides immediately collided with each other and a fierce fight broke out.

"Hmm?" The lord of the castle frowned, wondering where Li Qing got these eerie corpses from.

Soon, he remembered that when Li Qing first entered the city, he was accompanied by a more powerful beast. Now, that beast disappeared in a way he didn't know.

Immediately afterwards, the lord of the castle could no longer remain calm. He was surprised to find that the corpses of the strange beasts on his side were not able to suppress the corpse puppets released by Li Qing in the first place.

They clearly had the advantage in numbers, but they still couldn't take the enemy down! Li Qing looked at the expression on the other party's face and felt a little amused.

These corpse puppets of his were all refined corpses using special techniques, and each of them had extremely good combat power. How could they be compared with the ordinary corpses of third-level exotic beasts that had never been refined?

These corrosive spores can make the corpses of strange beasts move again, which seems magical, but it is still far from the real corpse refining.

The lord of the ancient castle, who had a rather unsightly expression, paused for a moment, and then summoned more corpses of third-level alien beasts to fight for him.

The mycelium on the surface of the giant mushroom was peeled off, and the corpses of strange and powerful monsters rushed out one after another.

Li Qing was already fearless of this kind of beast sea tactics when he was in the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm. Now that he has reached the Nascent Soul stage, he doesn't take it seriously.

He patted the beast-taming bag on his waist, letting the glutton come out to stretch his muscles.

It has been who knows how long since this glutton had a good fight, and he is already itching to death.

"Roar!"

In an instant, it regained its most primitive wildness, and its fighting spirit continued to rise.

boom!
A layer of dark purple halo shone on the body of the glutton. At this moment, it seemed to have transformed into an ancient celestial demon tiger, with an overwhelming momentum.

"Ow!"

Accompanied by a ferocious tiger roar, Fan Tong almost rolled over the corpses of these third-level exotic beasts.

Wherever its footsteps passed, the corpses of these strange beasts were trampled to pieces.

The sky demon shatters the earth!
This is a kind of innate magical power inherited from the ancient Sky Demon Tiger Clan, and now Fan Tong has completely mastered it.

At this moment, the owner of the castle showed shock in his eyes.

"Such a terrifying beast, where does it come from?"

Obviously, the strength displayed by Fan Tong at this time has far exceeded his imagination of the strange beast.

Li Qing on the other side was also very curious. He was curious about why the other party could control so many corpses of third-level exotic beasts. In such a short while, this person had summoned more than twenty corpses of third-level exotic beasts.

Moreover, at this time, the mycelium was still opening up, and the corpses of third-level alien beasts kept rushing out.

This number is a bit exaggerated. Could it be that this person has found so many third-level exotic beasts?

Before Li Qing could continue thinking, the lord of the ancient castle was completely unable to maintain his superior and indifferent attitude.

If he really lets this glutton continue to kill, then the corpses of the third-level alien beasts he has accumulated over the years will not be enough to kill them all.

"Sacrifice spirits to help me!"

The owner of the castle poked the huge mushroom under his feet with his walking stick, and the next moment, a strong aura suddenly rose from his body.

He borrowed powerful strength from the huge mushroom under his feet, and his connection with the mushroom became closer.

"You evil beast, die!"

"After killing so many of my sacred beasts, you will use your body to guard the sacrificial spirits!"

The lord of the castle waved his hand, and under the glutton's body, strands of hyphae shot out like long whips.

Swish!
The air made a bursting sound, and Fan Tong was caught off guard. He was hit by several long mycelium whips in one breath and then rolled up.

Immediately afterwards, more mycelium whips rushed out and wrapped around the body of the glutton.

These hyphae seemed to be able to penetrate every hole and kept piercing into the body of the food bucket.

Although the glutton's body is strong, it cannot resist the spread of the hyphae to its ears, mouth and other places.

Seeing this, Li Qing knew he couldn't watch any longer.

The lord of the ancient castle in front of him can fight together with the help of this huge mushroom spirit, so the threat is indeed not small.

Although it was not as terrifying as the magic willow that Li Qing had seen in the Black Wind Region, it was still quite a problem for Fan Tong.

boom!
Before these hyphae could penetrate deep into the body of the glutton, wisps of ochre-colored, hot spiritual flames suddenly emerged between heaven and earth.

In a flash, all the whitish hyphae were burned to ashes and disappeared without a trace when blown by the wind.

"What kind of method is this?" The lord of the castle was really panicked this time. The methods displayed by Li Qing made him feel extremely surprised.

But since Li Qing had already made a move, he naturally had no intention of continuing to play with him.

“This is a magic technique!”

Li Qing patiently explained to the other party, not caring whether the man could understand or not. Li Qing would show no mercy when he got angry.

boom!
In the air, a huge gray hammer appeared out of nowhere. It seemed as if it had the power to suppress everything between heaven and earth. It was quite terrifying.

This is not over yet. On the surface of the Hunyuan Wushuang Hammer, lines of ochre-colored spiritual flames spread out.

This is a special ability of the Xuanhuang True Flame, which can attach to any magic weapon to bless it.

Not only will the power of the magic weapon blessed by the Xuanhuang True Flame increase significantly, but every subsequent attack will also be accompanied by the Xuanhuang True Flame!

Li Qing's eyes were cold and he gestured quickly with one hand.

Immediately afterwards, the Hunyuan Wushuang Hammer smashed down.

The force and heaviness of this hammer was so great that even the air seemed to melt. Even among the cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, few dared to take this hammer with their physical bodies.

Feeling the strong breath of death coming, the lord of the ancient castle collapsed completely. This kind of divine power was simply not something he could withstand!
Just when the Hunyuan Wushuang Hammer was about to fall, the huge mushroom below finally moved.

Strands of hyphae instantly detached from the surface of the mushroom, and then enveloped the owner of the castle, turning into an extremely thick protective shield.

But Li Qing remained unmoved. He still urged the Hunyuan Wushuang Hammer to smash down firmly.

boom!
This hammer, accompanied by the splash of spiritual flames, caused a large amount of mycelium to melt and disintegrate in an instant, just like ice and snow meeting a red-hot iron block.

boom!
The scorching black and yellow true flame spread out and gradually extended to other areas of the giant mushroom.

This flame is not an ordinary fire at all and it is impossible to extinguish. Once you are contaminated by it, it will be like a maggot on the heel and cannot be shaken off.

Finally, at this moment, the Lord of the Castle gave up. He said in a trembling voice, "Stop, stop now!"
