Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 687: Subjugating the Sacrificial Spirit
boom!
The Hunyuan Wushuang Hammer suddenly stopped and hung above the head of the owner of the ancient castle.

A wave of scorching air swept out, and this heat wave alone made the owner of the castle feel a fatal threat!

Li Qing did not take the opponent's life immediately. Now that the battle was decided, it was natural for him to ask the opponent about the questions he wanted to know.

"I ask, you answer."

Li Qing, with his silver wings of wind and thunder flapping behind him, slowly flew down and stopped in front of the owner of the ancient castle.

The trembling castle owner no longer had any compassion for the world. He knelt at Li Qing's feet and said in a trembling voice:

"Please ask, sir."

"First question, what's your name?" Li Qing asked coldly.

"My name is Yang Gong, and I am the one chosen by the sacrificial spirit." Yang Gong answered honestly.

This kind of cooperation saves me the trouble of searching my soul and refining my spirit.

Thinking this way, Li Qing continued to ask his second question:

"The sacrificial spirit you are talking about is the mushroom that carries this city?"

"It chose you. Can this mushroom communicate with you?"

Li Qing was indeed quite curious about this mushroom that could carry an entire city. What kind of existence was it?

If we talk about individual combat power, it cannot be compared with the giant magic willow in the Black Wind Region, the gap is far.

Compared with his own blood lotus, its functionality seems to be much worse.

"The sacrificial spirit is naturally alive. It is our hope for survival in the darkness. It has been protecting us since darkness descended upon the earth."

Li Qing was not interested in these. He was just curious about how Yang Gong communicated with the sacrificial spirits on a daily basis.

"How do you usually communicate with the sacrificial spirit? Why didn't it resist even though I attacked it?"

Yang Gong showed an embarrassment and seemed reluctant to answer.

However, Li Qing's face turned cold and he snorted coldly, very dissatisfied with the other party's attitude at this time.

"Humph!"

This cold snort not only contained Li Qing's pressure, but also carried a bit of spiritual oppression, which directly exploded a thunder in the opponent's mind.

Yang Gongru was struck by lightning, and then immediately said in a trembling voice:
"Inside the castle, you can get close to the spirits of the sacrificial spirits. I live deep in the castle and keep the sacrificial spirits company all year round, so naturally I can communicate with them."

"As for the fact that the sacrificial spirit did not resist, it was because it seemed to have suffered some kind of damage when it was first born. It was born with a defect and could not act independently like the sacrificial spirits of other domains. It could only choose someone like me to issue orders on its behalf."

It turned out to be a spokesperson. Li Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, and understood something in his heart.

"Tell me more in detail why there were so many corpses of those strange beasts you summoned before."

"And the strange beasts imprisoned in this city, what did they eat that could produce so much blood?"

Yang Gong did not dare to hide anything about these and he answered everything honestly.

It turns out that these blood, flesh and corruption spores are all products produced by this sacrificial spirit.

Flesh and blood spores are something similar to a blood-stimulating agent. They are unique spores produced by the sacrificial spirit combined with the secret power of the red moon. As long as one of them is eaten by the flesh, it will be transformed into a huge amount of blood.

Ordinary people simply cannot bear it. Once eaten, they will immediately explode and turn into a pool of blood.

Therefore, with the help of the sacrificial spirits, the strange people in this city constantly captured powerful strange beasts in the surrounding area, and then imprisoned them and used them as blood beasts to provide blood.

Gradually, all the exotic beasts with a little bit of strength in the surrounding areas were captured and basically imprisoned in various places in this giant mushroom city.

However, this method of extracting blood naturally has its limitations, and will greatly reduce the lifespan of the exotic beast. Basically, a third-level exotic beast can only supply blood for seventy to eighty years before it will die.

And the corrupt spores are also a special kind of spores of the mushroom sacrifice spirit.

Those dead beasts will be buried in the mycelium of mushrooms, and then implanted with corrupt spores. From then on, they will be controlled by the mushroom spirits, which is similar to an alternative puppet method.

“Originally, there weren’t that many third-level exotic beasts, but later, the state of the sacrificial spirit stabilized and was able to produce a kind of red moon spore.”

"This kind of red moon spore contains the pure power of the red moon, which is much purer than red crystal. It can make the strength of the alien beast improve rapidly."

"For the weaker beasts, we will feed them with red moon spores and flesh and blood spores, cultivate them into third-level beasts, and then imprison them in the city to provide blood."

Yang Gong truthfully told all the secrets of the mushroom sacrifice. These three types of spores are extremely unique, and are the fundamental reason why this huge mushroom can become so powerful.

After hearing all this, Li Qing nodded slowly.

It seems that although this mushroom sacrificial spirit cannot compare with the magic willow in the Black Wind Domain in terms of combat power, it still has its own unique features.

The several types of spores produced have magical effects. If used well, they can indeed bring him considerable help.

Finally, Li Qing asked another question that he was very concerned about:

"I heard you mention the Blood Warrior Dynasty earlier. Tell me what kind of power that is."

After hearing these words, Yang Gong was completely dumbfounded. He thought that Li Qing was an unrivaled warrior sent by the Xuewu Dynasty, otherwise how could he possess such powerful strength.

He didn't expect that the other party was not from that dynasty at all. This was really beyond his expectations!
But think about it, the man in front of him has extraordinary means, and even the sacrificial spirits cannot resist that terrifying flame, so how could it be possible that the reckless man from the Eastern Dynasty could do it!
"About three hundred years ago, the Blood Martial Arts Dynasty was founded on the basis of Qi and Blood Martial Arts. Its founding ruler spread Qi and Blood Martial Arts throughout the world, and many major regions respected it!"

"As for more, I don't know."

"About a few decades ago, that dynasty also sent people to preach here, saying that they wanted to free the people of the world from the suffering of the mutation, but I turned them away on behalf of the spirit."

In fact, the Blood Warrior Dynasty did not use any tough measures. After seeing that the people in the Giant Mushroom City were living quite well, they no longer thought about preaching in this city.

Qi and blood martial arts, the Blood Martial Dynasty, respected by all domains.

Hearing these familiar words, a hint of emotion finally emerged in Li Qing's eyes.

I didn’t expect that those little guys back then would actually create such a powerful dynasty today.

They are indeed practicing the words "spread military power throughout the world", their words and actions are consistent, and they set an example themselves!
For a moment, Li Qing felt quite comforted.

But now is not the time to go to the Blood Warrior Dynasty. He is particularly interested in this mushroom sacrifice spirit, especially the various strange spores cultivated by the other party.

These spores will definitely be of great use to him!

"Why don't you breed more powerful beasts?"

"Could it be that the Red Moon Spore can only allow the alien beast to grow to the third level?"

Li Qing suddenly thought, why can only see the third level of strange beasts in this city, no higher, but not a single one, whether dead or alive. Yang Gong smiled bitterly:
"The strength of the fourth-level alien beast is too strong, and the sacrificial spirit did not provide us with that level of red moon spores."

"Once it is cultivated, we will not be able to check and control it."

"Moreover, the production of red moon spores by the sacrifice spirit will also cause certain losses to itself. In addition, it is not so easy to cultivate a fourth-level alien beast. The failure rate seems to be extremely high."

It turns out that there are so many restrictions. Li Qing was not surprised by this.

A fourth-order alien beast should be a powerful being that can compete with a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

If it was really possible to cultivate a third-level monster without any restrictions, then it would not be so easy for Li Qing to attack today.

He could still easily deal with one or two fourth-level monsters, but if the number was dozens of times more, he would be very embarrassed.

Thinking about the various strange spores of this mushroom sacrifice spirit, Li Qing looked towards the ancient castle in front of him.

Deep in the ancient castle, one can get close to the mushroom spirit. Li Qing, who is determined to subdue it, plans to go over and take a look.

"Take me to see the mushroom spirit. I want to communicate with it." Li Qing said calmly.

In response, Yang Gong did not refuse, but led the way with his head lowered and his eyes submissive.

"No problem, please follow me, sir!"

In this way, Yang Gong walked in front, and Li Qing followed behind, all the way into the ancient castle.

The castle was extremely deserted and quiet. Apart from Yang Gong, there was no one else living here.

The two went deeper into the castle and finally stopped in front of a gate wrapped in mycelium.

"Behind the door is the place leading to the heart of the sacrificial spirit. After I was chosen by the sacrificial spirit, I communicated with the sacrificial spirit inside." Yang Gong explained while pressing his hand on the mycelium door.

Soon, the hyphae slowly fell off, and the door gradually opened up a gap.

A faint light leaked out from inside, and when the door was completely opened, Li Qing saw a small golden mushroom standing in the void.

A strange look flashed in Yang Gong's eyes, and then he walked in first.

Li Qing at the back hesitated for a moment, then followed.

But at this moment, the small golden mushroom in front burst out with infinite golden light, directly covering Li Qing.

"Great priest, I have followed your supreme instructions and brought this person in!"

"Conquer him with your greatness and make him another person who will serve as your guardian."

At this point, Yang Gong looked at Li Qing behind him, and unexpectedly regained his compassionate attitude. He spoke condescendingly:

"Humble and insignificant people, serve the great spirit together with me, we will be protected and eternally exist under its majesty"

At this moment, Li Qing was enveloped by a golden light and felt as if he was enveloped by a powerful spiritual consciousness.

His sea of ​​consciousness actually had the urge to open on its own. The other party wanted to enslave him!

Li Qing's face was slightly cold. He looked at Yang Gong who had regained his compassionate attitude and said coldly, "I have decided to give you a good beating later. Your attitude and expression are really tempting!"

After hearing this, Yang Gong didn't care at all. He felt that Li Qing now would definitely not be able to resist the influence and enslavement of the sacrificial spirit and would become the same as him.

This is also the reason why he confessed everything so honestly outside and told Li Qing all the secrets of the spirit sacrifice.

It was only because he understood that Li Qing would become a person serving the sacrificial spirit like him.

The next moment, the small golden mushroom in front spread out wisps of mycelium, and a piece of golden spores floated out from its body, which was very gorgeous and holy.

However, before the little golden mushroom could touch Li Qing, Li Qing, who was shrouded in golden light, suddenly disintegrated and turned into a flame that evaporated.

"It's just a Taoist body created by spiritual fire. Do you really think I would be so stupid as to follow you in with my real body?"

Before dissipating, Li Qing's flaming body did not forget to taunt him.

Yang Gong was completely dumbfounded. He looked at Li Qing who had disappeared, and the expression on his face completely froze.

At this moment, outside the ancient castle, a tall figure stepped out from the void. Who else could it be but Li Qing?
"Next, either surrender to me or perish!"

Li Qing shouted out a cold and majestic voice. This was not a call to Yang Gong, but a call to the mushroom spirit in the ancient castle.

Before Li Qing asked Yang Gong to lead the way, he secretly made himself an extremely realistic spiritual flame Taoist body.

He concealed his breath, and then with the help of Kunpeng's divine power, he merged into the void.

Only by combining these two methods together can the mushroom spirit avoid being aware of one's existence.

In fact, the other party did not notice what Li Qing had done and had no idea that what Li Qing had followed in was just a spiritual fire body.

Faced with such a strange existence, Li Qing naturally did not dare to take it lightly and rashly approach the other party's true spirit. That would be too reckless and not in line with Li Qing's style of doing things.

Now that he has uncovered the other party's conspiracy, he doesn't plan to play with this mushroom spirit anymore.

The next moment, outside the ancient castle, three spiritual fires of different colors burst out from Li Qing's body.

In just a moment, an extremely huge fire giant appeared out of thin air.

Everyone in the Mushroom City saw this scene clearly, and they were all shocked.

The Dharmakaya of Fire!

The fire giant that Li Qing urged was filled with extremely hot spiritual flames. Before he could take any action, the mushroom mycelium and buildings around him began to burn spontaneously, and then were burned to ashes in the shortest time.

The flames gained momentum rapidly, and in a short while, the area around the fire giant turned into a sea of ​​fire!
"I'll say it one last time, if you don't surrender, you will perish!"

Li Qing, who was among the fire giants, issued an ultimatum that was extremely cold.

He made a seal with one hand, and more spiritual fire from heaven and earth burst out from his palm, as if he was going to pour out all the spiritual fire in his hand if there was any disagreement.

As long as these spiritual fire seeds are spread, there will be only one result: the entire huge mushroom city will be completely turned into a sea of ​​fire.

By then, the burning fire will surely illuminate the entire dark night sky extremely brightly, just like the long-lost daytime in this world!

Just as Li Qing was about to start a fire, a faint voice finally resounded in his sea of ​​consciousness:

"stop.."
