Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 693: Rebuilding the Soul
"Master."

As this soft voice rang out, Li Qing, who was looking at the two skeletons in the Yellow Springs River, was shocked!
"Jing'er?"

Li Qing recognized the soft voice at the first moment. He turned around suddenly and tried to find the source of the voice.

But unfortunately, even if he extended his spiritual sense to the maximum range, he could not see anything unusual.

"Jing'er, where are you?!" Li Qing shouted in a deep voice, but he could not find where the voice came from.

Finally, after a long time, Lin Jing's soft and ethereal voice rang out again:

"Master, I am at the Yellow Springs Stele"

The voice was intermittent, but soon stopped abruptly, and it was impossible to tell the whole story.

However, Li Qing still heard the four words "Huangquan Stele", and he immediately thought of the stele inserted at the source of the Huangquan River.

At the mountain gate of the entire Huangquan Holy Sect, only that ancient stone tablet fits the image of the Huangquan Stone Tablet.

Without saying a word, Li Qing's figure flashed in an instant, and soon he appeared in front of the stone tablet.

There is a line of words engraved on it: The place of rebirth in the underworld!

"I didn't think it was anything special just now, but now that I look closely, I see that this stone tablet also has the same property as the Yellow Spring River water in blocking divine sense detection!"

Li Qing whispered, then reached out and stroked the ancient stone tablet.

Suddenly, he felt the spiritual fire in his body tremble slightly.

"Boy, the aura of Taiyin True Water has appeared again, and it is much stronger than the aura of the big river outside!"

"I suspect there might actually be a small amount of Taiyin True Water in it!"

Xuan Huang Zhen Yan warned Li Qing immediately. After hearing this, Li Qing's expression froze, and he understood that this stone tablet was by no means as simple as it seemed.

boom!
Li Qing urged several spiritual fires from heaven and earth in his body to surge out together. He tried to use the spiritual fires to refine the stone tablet to see if there was any secret in it.

But soon Li Qing discovered that his spiritual fire skills, which had always been effective, seemed to have lost their effectiveness at this moment.

Faced with this ancient and old stone tablet, he was unable to refine it, and it immediately melted and extinguished on the surface.

It's so extraordinary!

Putting the spiritual fire away for the time being, Li Qing frowned and began to think, wondering what secrets this stone tablet contained.

"This stone tablet is probably made from Taiyin True Water and Yellow Spring River Water, and possesses the characteristics of both spiritual waters."

Only the Taiyin True Water, a miraculous water that can defeat all fires in the world, can withstand the burning of the spiritual fire of heaven and earth. Li Qing quickly figured out the key points.

However, Li Qing continued to try to refine it with his own vast magic power, but it still didn't work.

After trying every possible means, nothing worked, which made Li Qing frown even deeper.

Finally, Lin Jing's ethereal voice rang out again:

“It’s an inscription.”

Inscription?

Li Qing was stunned. He pondered and said, "Do you want me to throw myself into the underworld and enter the afterlife?"

But after a long time, Lin Jing's voice did not resound, as if it had sunk into obscurity.

Although there is a Yellow Spring River nearby and Li Qing's body is very strong, he does not want to jump into it rashly.

After pondering for a long time, Li Qing still couldn't figure out how to open the stone tablet.

Finally, he decided to scoop up a handful of Yellow Spring water to give it a try. Of course, he did not touch it with his physical body, but used his magical powers to draw out a handful of river water.

boom!
Li Qing mobilized the vast and powerful true energy in his body, trying to lead the water out of the Yellow Springs River, but he soon discovered that the water in the river was as heavy as a mountain and integrated into one, and it was impossible to restrain it with magic power.

You know, with his current level of cultivation, even a wide river can be easily dried up!

At this time, Xuan Huang Zhen Yan gave Li Qing a prompt:
"If you don't try to contact it with your spiritual consciousness, it is said that the Yellow Spring River is the river that converts all the evil spirits."

The corner of Li Qing's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt that the other party's proposal was a little unreliable.

However, he soon thought of a more reliable method, which was to separate a wisp of his own spiritual consciousness and place it on a corpse puppet, and then use the spiritual consciousness residing in the corpse puppet to touch the Yellow Springs River.

Even if something really went wrong at that time, at most he would just lose a corpse puppet and a wisp of divine consciousness. This would not hurt him and would not be considered a big loss.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Qing immediately took out a second-level corpse puppet from his storage bag.

He separated out a wisp of divine consciousness and placed it inside the corpse, then controlled the corpse puppet to approach the Yellow Springs River and slowly scooped up a handful of Yellow Springs water!
hum!
The next moment, Li Qing realized that the strand of his spiritual consciousness that had split off suddenly broke away from the corpse puppet. As for the second-level corpse puppet, it fell into the Yellow Springs River unstoppably, as if it had some kind of attraction.

Through the vision of this divine consciousness, Li Qing saw his own body and the second-level corpse puppet that fell into the Yellow Springs River.

Soon, the second-level corpse puppet began to slowly melt and evaporate, and in the end not even a skeleton was left!
This surprised Li Qing. Why couldn't the skeleton of his corpse stay safely at the bottom of the river like other bones, but turned into ashes in a very short time?

But he had no time to think so much at the moment, because Li Qing found that his divine consciousness seemed to be attracted by the Yellow Spring Stele and was sucked in irresistibly.

Along with the emergence of powerful attraction, Li Qing's differentiated spiritual consciousness appeared in a boundless and dark space.

"Master, I'm here. Jing'er misses you so much."

Lin Jing's weak and gentle voice rang out, and soon, a piece of ice crystal appeared in the endless dark space.

Inside the ice crystal, Li Qing finally saw his disciple whom he had not seen for a long time!

"Jing'er!"

Li Qing shouted, then frowned and asked, "How did you get trapped here?"

"I don't know either. I once found a token with the word Huangquan engraved on it in a certain ruin. Then I followed the map I got at that time and came to the vicinity of the boundary river."

"But when I got close to the river, I lost consciousness. When I regained consciousness, I was here."

Without the obstruction of the Yellow Springs Stele, communication here is much more convenient.

But at this time, Lin Jing was frozen by a strange ice crystal and couldn't get out at all.

Li Qing tried to get closer to rescue his apprentice, but he soon gasped.

Because he found that just by approaching, the divine body seemed to be frozen. He was not unfamiliar with the breath of ice crystals. This was actually ice crystals formed by the fusion of Taiyin True Water! Or, it should be called Taiyin Ice Crystals now!
Faced with such an immortal item, Li Qing really had no way to deal with it at the moment. This was a magical water that could restrain all fires in the world. It could not be dissolved by burning it with ordinary spiritual fire.

Unless he could subdue several kinds of legendary fairy fire, he would have no way to deal with this kind of strange water!

"No, this is not pure Taiyin True Water, otherwise my separated divine consciousness would be unable to resist it at all!"

Soon, Li Qing discovered the clue. This ice crystal was not pure Taiyin water, but ice crystal formed by freezing it when it was mixed with the water from the Yellow Spring River.

But even so, Li Qing still felt quite a headache.

"If it's not pure Taiyin True Water, then it's not like there's really no way out."

Li Qing was deep in thought, and soon he thought of a treasure that he had on him.

That’s right, that’s the Fire Spirit Pearl!

The Five Elements Spirit Pearls are natural treasures that constitute the underlying rules of a world, and the Fire Spirit Pearls on his body also contain fragments of the rules of fire.

Using it here might work wonders!
But how to bring the Fire Spirit Pearl in now?

Then there is only one way, and that is the "Soul Refining Sutra"!
In this secret book, there is a record of a special magical power, which is to turn the virtual into the real.

Li Qing had not practiced the magical power used by this soul before, because it was too useless and he could not think of where it could be used. Unexpectedly, it could come in handy today!

"Jing'er, how long can you hold on?"

"Master has thought of a way to save you, but it may take quite some time!"

Li Qing's expression became serious. Practicing magical skills such as soul-related skills is the most difficult and arduous, and often takes a lot of time.

He was worried that his apprentice wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

Fortunately, Lin Jing's condition was not that bad. Although he was a little weak, he was not about to die at any time!
"Master, please go ahead. Although Jing'er can't escape now, he is not that weak." Lin Jing's voice sounded softly again.

After hearing this, Li Qing finally felt relieved. He nodded, and then controlled his soul to search in this dark space.

Soon, he discovered that in this dark space, there was also an ancient Yellow Springs stele, which was the exit.

Li Qing used his split soul to touch the Yellow Springs Stele. After a dizzying moment, he appeared in the outside world again.

The split soul returned to the main body. Li Qing, who was waiting outside, slowly opened his eyes and learned everything that had happened in the Yellow Springs Stele.

"Interesting, they actually mixed the Yellow Spring River water with the Taiyin True Water, and then froze it into ice crystals using unpredictable means."

“Could this be some kind of method for achieving immortality? If I maintain this state, it seems that my body and soul can maintain vitality for an extremely long time, thus freezing the decline of my lifespan!”

Li Qing's gaze subconsciously turned to the large number of white bones in the Yellow Springs River. The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and he felt that his bold guess seemed to make some sense.

He wondered whether these remains lying in the Yellow Springs River were attempting to gain some kind of alternative immortality through such means.

After all, the world has entered the Dharma Ending Age. If this method can be used to freeze the decline of lifespan, thereby surviving the Dharma Ending Age and ushering in the revival of spiritual energy, it may really be a feasible method!
The more Li Qing thought about it, the more he felt that the truth might be this. The Huangquan Holy Sect was trying to get all the high-level disciples to survive the Dharma Ending Age together in this way!

But obviously, this method failed, perhaps due to some unexpected circumstances.

Because the Yellow Spring River is not frozen at the moment, and there is no scent of Taiyin True Water, then the Taiyin True Water may have leaked out and flowed into the boundary river outside?

Of course, this is just Li Qing's guess, and he doesn't know what the specific truth is.

"But it seems that the immortal cultivators in this world are not really just sitting there waiting to die when facing the end of the Dharma Age when spiritual energy is exhausted."

"The Huangquan Holy Sect's method failed, but that doesn't mean that all immortal cultivators are the same."

Li Qing thought of the Blood Lotus Sect Leader whom he met in Qiushan Territory, the old woman he saw in the Soul-Devouring Secret Realm, and the immortal cultivator who tried to take over his body in Tianliang Mountain!
Perhaps there really are some powerful and unpredictable monks still alive in this world!

But now is not the time to think about these questions. Li Qing let out a long sigh, then turned his back to the Yellow Springs Stele and sat cross-legged.

Here, he began to continue trying to practice the "Soul Refining Sutra"!

This was part of his plan for this trip to the Polar Night World. To practice this secret book, one does not need the assistance of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, nor does one need to consume one's own magic power. Even in the environment of the Dharma Ending Age, one can strengthen one's spiritual consciousness!
Before coming to the Polar Night World, Li Qing wanted to use the three times faster time flow in this world to concentrate on practicing this scripture with a profound origin!

"Observe emptiness and nurture tranquility"

Time passed slowly, and Li Qing's soul continued to become more condensed and powerful in the process.

Originally, his spiritual strength was far beyond that of the cultivators of the same level. Now with this wonderful secret book, Li Qing can also practice his own spiritual consciousness, which is even more exaggerated.

Finally, in the blink of an eye, Li Qing had been meditating and practicing for sixteen years without realizing it!
This is the practice of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. A nap is used to measure time in units of ten years.

During these sixteen years, Li Qing's spiritual strength finally reached the level of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

In addition, he also successfully cultivated a soul-related magical power recorded in the "Soul Refining Sutra", and the results of this practice were quite good.

This is the longest time Li Qing has ever stayed in the polar night world. The influence of the Dharma Ending Age has gradually begun to take effect on him.

He felt that the magic power in his body had unknowingly dissipated a lot, and was no longer as vast and strong as when he first came to this world.

If he continues to stay there for a few hundred more years, without any other means of resistance, Li Qing will definitely become an ordinary person with only the cultivation of physical skills.

However, he understood that this was not a regression in his cultivation, but a sign that his magic power was suppressed by the Dharma Ending Age.

"The great way of this world is indeed cut off. In just eighteen years, the magic power has dissipated so much on its own."

Li Qing couldn't help but smacking his lips, but he was not really that worried, because he could leave this world at any time and return to Qingyun Peak to replenish his magic power.

Unlike other practitioners in this world, there is no way out!
“Huh! I have finally mastered the magical power of turning the virtual into the real!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qing's eyes lit up, and then he began to use his own magic.

The next moment, his soul left his body on its own.

But his soul is not as illusory and faint as those of other cultivators. On the contrary, because of the "Soul Refining Sutra", his soul is actually the same as his original one and is very condensed!
In addition, there is also a Nascent Soul in his soul body.

Li Qing even brought out several spiritual fires of heaven and earth that he had subdued, and was able to come into contact with materials from the real world. It was a true spiritual interference with reality!

Just like that, Li Qing, carrying the damaged Fire Spirit Pearl and several spiritual fires of heaven and earth in his body, once again descended into the strange space of the Yellow Springs Stele.

Because his soul had been contaminated by the scent of the Yellow Springs River before, he didn't need to come into contact with it again this time.

Leaving his physical body in the outside world, Li Qing's soul in its full strength once again descended into this space!
