Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 696 Send Black Hair
The real bones of a fifth-level demon bird, which had been soaked in the Yellow Springs River for many years, yet its spirituality had not faded much!
Especially the pair of wing bones, which have the texture of fine jade, smooth and flawless.

With this bone, his chances of refining the Wind and Thunder Silver Wings into a truly magical treasure are much greater.

Restraining his inner joy, Li Qing carefully put away the demon bird's real bones.

It must be said that this trip into the gate of Huangquan Holy Sect was indeed very rewarding. Not to mention the true bones of the fifth-level demon bird, he also read many immortal scriptures, which made his knowledge even more profound.

It will definitely be much easier when you create new laws in the future.

In addition, he also got some strange water formed by the combination of Taiyin True Water and Yellow Spring River Water. The combination of the two is definitely the perfect thing for him to use in the next stage to temper his body and practice the "Daojie Wuji Sutra"!

Just like that, with a full load of harvest, Li Qing led Lin Jing to leave the immortal sect that had become a ruin, and rushed out of the boundary river.

"Master, where have you been all these years? I have searched the whole world but cannot find any trace of you!"

"By the way, Master, I found a lot of classics in those ruins. Could it be that you are the legendary immortal cultivator?"

"Master, Master, do you know that the Qi and Blood Martial Arts that we practice has reached a new realm, called the Return to Oneness Realm!"

"Where are Fan Tong and Xiao Jiu? Why aren't they here this time?"

Lin Jing gradually recovered his strength and became more talkative after leaving the boundary river.

Even though she now holds an extremely high status in the Martial Alliance, in front of Li Qing, she always seems to be the girl with constant problems.

Li Qing did not hide anything from these questions and answered them one by one with a chuckle.

The figures of the two men passed across the horizon and flew towards the royal city of the Xuewu Dynasty at the fastest speed.

Eighteen years have passed in the outside world, and Li Qing had never imagined that this trip would take so long.

As for Fan Tong and Miao Tuo, who had been waiting outside the boundary river, they would naturally not wait for eighteen years. Now, they have long been nowhere to be seen outside the boundary river.

However, relying on the induction of the soul imprint, Li Qing determined that Fan Tong's location was now in the royal city, and it seemed that the situation was relatively safe.

In the outside world, eighteen years have passed in the blink of an eye!
The Xuewu Dynasty, where the royal city is located.

The scenery and architecture of the city had not changed much since Li Qing left, but the center of power in the royal city had changed drastically!
Nine years ago, the late Emperor Miao Jing passed away, and the Crown Prince Miao Tuo inherited the throne!
Because of the succession of the throne, there were some disturbances in the entire royal city, but under Miao Tuo's powerful military force, such disturbances did not last long and soon subsided.

At this point, Miao Tuo became the third generation king of the Xuewu Dynasty, and the one with the highest martial arts skills in history.

The Return to Oneness Realm, this level of martial arts cultivation is rare even in the entire Martial Alliance.

Under Miao Tuo's governance, the entire Xuewu Dynasty began to expand again, and more information from the outside world was continuously sent into the royal city.

Obviously, he was preparing for a new war. He wanted to be an emperor like the founding monarch Miao Xi and accomplish the great feat of expanding the territory, just like his name.

Miao Tuo, who was diligent in government affairs, also did not neglect his martial arts training.

He is already forty-six years old this year, and his energy and blood have not only not declined, but have become even more vigorous.

After reaching the state of unity in martial arts and completing the process of forming an elixir of qi and blood, his physical condition has been greatly improved, allowing him to live much longer than ordinary people. He is destined to be a long-lived king, and if nothing unexpected happens, his reign may even last more than two hundred years!
After dealing with state affairs today, Miao Tuo continued to practice martial arts tirelessly in the palace.

During this time, his eyes occasionally looked towards the direction of the Boundary River, and a hint of melancholy was revealed between his brows.

"If Black Shark Tiger Lord had not personally confirmed that Senior Li was safe and sound, I would have sent people to drain that boundary river!"

"It's been eighteen years. I haven't heard from Senior Li in all these years."

After he finished speaking, Miao Tuo started practicing martial arts once again, devoting all his attention to his cultivation of martial arts.

Having been in office for nine years, the young man who was once so aggressive has finally learned to restrain his edge and has become much more reserved.

Now, he has a deeper understanding of what Li Qing said to him at the beginning.

"A heavy sword has no edge, and great skill has no workmanship!"

At this moment, a deafening tiger roar suddenly sounded in the forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace!
"Ow!"

Hearing the tiger's roar, Miao Tuo's expression changed slightly, and then he immediately stopped what he was doing and rushed to the forbidden area.

Over the years, the glutton has been sleeping in the royal palace of the royal city, and only today has he made any movement.

This is a third-level exotic beast that can speak. It is the mount that Senior Li has tamed. He is worried that something has happened.

When they approached the forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace, Miao Tuo soon heard some noise coming from inside.

"Hahahaha, glutton, can you really talk now?"

"This is incredible! Master, how did the glutton learn to speak?"

In the forbidden area, there was a tiger covered with dark purple stripes, and on it sat a slim, slender woman.

When he saw this woman for the first time, Miao Tuo recognized her identity!

"Aunt? You're back?!"

Hearing the surprised cry, Lin Jing, who was sitting on the food bucket, looked at Miao Tuo outside the forbidden area with a puzzled smile.

After a long time, she finally dug out some memory fragments from her memory, and vaguely recognized Miao Tuo from his facial features that had changed a lot.

"So he is Miao Tuo's great-nephew. I didn't expect that the naughty boy has become the emperor now. What a big change!"

Lin Jing naturally began to act mature and looked at Miao Tuo in a tone of giving orders.

This made Miao Tuo smile bitterly. He was now the monarch of the Xuewu Dynasty. Who would dare to treat him with such disrespect?

But now is not the time to care about these things. Miao Tuo's eyes swept around the forbidden area, searching for Li Qing's trace.

Since Lin Jing is back, that means that Senior Li is also back!
Soon, Miao Tuo seemed to remember something. He clasped his fists towards Lin Jing, and then walked quickly towards the depths of the forbidden area.

There is an iron tree covered with thorns here. The tree is not big, only two people tall.

But in front of this thorny iron tree, there stood a tall figure.

Li Qing put his hands behind his back and looked carefully at the iron tree sacrificed by the Xuewu Dynasty.

"He is in such a deep sleep that his spiritual consciousness is sealed off so tightly that he has completely cut off all communication with the outside world."

No one had ever imagined that the mysterious iron tree spirit sacrifice that the Xuewu Dynasty relied on looked so ordinary in the forbidden area of ​​​​the imperial palace.

However, Li Qing understood that this sacrificial spirit was by no means as simple as it seemed!
His soul sensed that the part of the iron tree exposed was only a small part, not even the tip of the iceberg. Under the ground, there were even larger roots and bodies, enough to subvert the entire royal city!
"Senior Li? You're back?" Miao Tuo greeted him while trying to suppress his inner joy.

After hearing this, Li Qing chuckled and turned around, looking at Miao Tuo, who was wearing a golden robe and had a dignified temperament.

"Not bad, the edge is restrained, and there is a lot of progress."

This casual comment made Miao Tuo, who was now a monarch, tremble with excitement.

"Senior Li, you are finally back!"

"I'll send someone to inform Uncle Yan right away!"

Although he really wanted to know what Li Qing had experienced over the years, the most important thing at the moment was to inform Yan Xishan.

Inside the palace, Yan Xishan, who came to meet the emperor, looked increasingly old. It was obvious that this was a sign that his end was near.

Seeing Yan Xishan's appearance, Li Qing knew that he didn't have much time left and could only live for a few more years at most.

In fact, this is already quite good. You know, he is only one generation younger than Miao Xi. It is already quite good to have lived for so many years as a qi and blood warrior.

He had never embarked on the path to immortality, nor had he accepted the changes caused by the secret power of the Red Moon. He had lived for more than three hundred years, which was already quite good.

"Cough cough cough, Master." Yan Xishan greeted Li Qing while coughing.

Li Qing looked at Yan Xishan's condition at this time and couldn't help but sigh.

Without even a close examination, he knew how bad the current condition of his apprentice was.

He worked too hard in his early years and participated in too many conquests and wars, which left him with many hidden injuries and illnesses.

These problems will not manifest themselves when we are young and strong, but once we are old and weak, the wear and tear left over from our early years will accumulate and become very serious problems, at least reducing our lifespan by decades.

"Senior Brother Yan," Lin Jing looked at his now old brother with a moved expression, a hint of sadness and reluctance in his eyes.

She and Yan Xishan are of the same generation and both were disciples of Li Qing.

But because she seldom participated in direct combat in her early years, and because Li Qing had used his own blood to cleanse the body of the seriously injured Lin Jing when she was in the Blood Lotus Sect, her foundation is still strong. This is also one of the reasons why Lin Jing's face has not aged after so many years.

Of course, there is another most important reason, that is, she was trapped in the Yellow Springs Stele for many years, and the passage of time over these years did not have any real impact on her.

So if Lin Jingzhen really wants to say it now, he can at least live for another hundred years.

"Junior Sister Lin, it's great to see you back alive." Yan Xishan said with a smile, still as calm and composed.

Tears gradually welled up in Lin Jing's eyes. She thought of the past few years and felt reluctant.

"Ugh!"

"Xishan, come here."

Li Qing sighed and waved to his disciple.

"Master, I came here to say goodbye to you. I know you are always elusive and often disappear for many years."

"I came here this time because I'm afraid I'll never do this again."

Before Yan Xishan could finish his words, Li Qing raised his hand to interrupt him.

He pressed his disciple's shoulder with one hand, and a stream of pure true energy was sent out by him.

In fact, when one reaches the state of unity in martial arts, all the energy and blood in the body are locked in the dantian. As long as one is willing, one can also delay the aging of his face.

But Yan Xishan did not have such an idea, but let the years leave marks on his face.

Looking at his master up close, Yan Xishan's emotions became more complicated.

His master's facial features have never changed. He seems to be forever young and ageless. It seems that the knife of time cannot have any effect on him.

After a long time, Yan Xishan felt that his body was becoming warm, and some hidden diseases and injuries in his body seemed to be slowly recovering.

"This is."

He felt that his body had become lighter and his condition had improved a lot.

"It can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. I have repaired all the hidden injuries and diseases in your body. You can live another five or six years."

"But I can still use my blood to cleanse your body. In this way, you should be able to live another thirty to fifty years."

As he spoke, Li Qing signaled Yan Xishan to take off his clothes and prepare to be baptized by his essence and blood.

You should know that he is now a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. His flesh and blood are nourished by spiritual energy all year round, and his physical skills are comparable to a fourth-level transformed demon!

The essence and blood in Li Qing's body now have a very high value. For mortal warriors, it is definitely a great medicine.

Hearing what his master meant, Yan Xishan shook his head violently and rejected Li Qing's proposal.

"How dare I do such a rebellious act? Master has given me a new life and used his blood to cleanse my body. I absolutely cannot do this!"

"In fact, it is my wish come true that I can die of old age and see my master before I die."

His tone and attitude were so resolute that Li Qing could no longer insist.

In this way, Yan Xishan bowed deeply to Li Qing for the last time and then left the palace.

Looking at the slightly bleak figure of his disciple, Li Qing felt a little confused for a moment.

"Longevity."

In the following period of time, Li Qing did not leave the royal city, but practiced in seclusion in the forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace.

He was still deducing his own Taoism. After returning from Huangquan Holy Sect, he gained more insights.

Finally, the chapter on the Qi Refining Period in his self-created "Daojie Wuji Jing" was completely completed.

This is definitely the beginning of an extremely superior martial art. While practicing this method, you can also use your own magic power to nourish your internal organs.

From the moment he completed the Qi Refining Stage chapter, Li Qing felt that his long-stabilized realm of cultivation had loosened a little.

This time, Li Qing spent eight years on enlightenment and deducing the exercises. It took him eight years to deduce the Qi Refining stage to perfection.

"This world is suppressing me even more. I can't even display the strength that a Nascent Soul cultivator should have."

Li Qing smiled bitterly and spread his hands. This was the suppression of the entire world on him. Because this world had entered the Dharma Ending Age, the spiritual energy was completely exhausted, and Li Qing was gradually assimilated into this world.

In other words, he is not a cultivator from this world, otherwise he would have to find a way to avoid this cruel era and try every possible means to obtain immortality.

Before Li Qing officially came out of seclusion, Lin Jing's voice with a hint of tears could be heard from outside the forbidden area:
"Master, Senior Brother Yan is dying."

Although he had expected this, Li Qing was still stunned after hearing it with his own ears.

Without saying a word, he took Lin Jingfei out of the palace and came to the territory of the Wumeng.

At this time, Yan Xishan was lying on the bed with his lifespan almost gone, the energy and blood in his body having been drained away like a dried-up stream.

His heart pulse was very weak, as if he had suffered a serious illness!
"Master. Junior Sister"

At this time, Yan Xishan was truly at the end of his life. Even if Li Qing wanted to use his essence and blood to prolong his life, it would be impossible.

Unless he could find the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, Yan Xishan would be beyond the reach of even the gods!
Li Qing walked to Yan Xishan's bedside with a serious expression and asked in a low voice: "Xishan, is there anything else you want to say?"

"Master, who are you?" The white-haired Yan Xishan looked at Li Qing with eyes still full of respect.

Faced with this question, Li Qing thought for a moment, and then answered: "I am just one of the countless living beings struggling to cross the sea."

Hearing this, Yan Xishan smiled. The master in front of him seemed both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Master, am I your pride?" At the moment of his death, he still wanted to get the recognition of his master.

Li Qing smiled gently and said, "Yes, you have always been my pride. Your martial arts return to the unity realm and your blood and qi embrace the elixir are also of great help to me."

When Yan Xishan heard this, the smile on his face became even brighter.

But soon, he changed the subject:
"Master, over the years, I have often dreamed of my other two brothers and sisters. They died in the magic willow in the Black Wind Region."

"One day, you must avenge them."

Li Qing nodded heavily and agreed to this last request.

"Master promises you that one day I will destroy that demon willow with my own hands."

Hearing this, Yan Xishan smiled again.

At this moment, his face, which had been pale for a long time, finally turned rosy, and his speech became much smoother.

In this last moment of life, his eyes sparkled, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"I want to see, I want to see where the future of Qi and Blood Martial Arts lies!"

"Is this road the end? So many predecessors have come here one after another, is it just a broken road?"

"I want to do my best for this cause."

Having said this, the blood and energy in the dying Yan Xishan's body, which should have dried up long ago, suddenly gushed out again like a river.

Qi and blood rushed throughout the body, but they could not stop the arrival of death.

"Master, I saw a lot of shackles. They are shackles and fetters."

At the last moment of his death, Yan Xishan's eyes sparkled and he uttered these words, then he let go of Li Qing's hand that he had been holding tightly.

At this point, the second generation leader of the Wumeng, Yan Xishan, passed away.

When he was dying, he left a few final words that were unclear to all the warriors in the world who were practicing Qi and Blood Martial Arts.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother Yan!" Lin Jing burst into tears. This senior brother who was like a real elder brother also bid farewell to this world from then on.

Li Qing finally tidied up the clothes of his apprentice and murmured, "Xishan, walk slowly."
