Chapter 698: Borrowing Lotus for Cultivation
Li Qing did not delay and quickly met with Xu Xia, the current leader of Lingyun Sect.

After not seeing each other for eight years, Xu Xia's cultivation has now reached the middle stage of foundation building, and he is only one step away from the late stage of foundation building.

The speed of this kind of cultivation is neither fast nor slow, because Xu Xia's spiritual roots are not particularly outstanding.

The reason why he was able to reach the middle stage of foundation building within eight years was because of his current position, where he could obtain relatively more cultivation resources.

After all, as the sect leader, the sect's chores that he has to deal with every day are really too complicated, and he has very little time to practice on weekdays, so this is also the preferential treatment given to him by the sect.

"Yes, it seems that you have been practicing diligently over the years, and you are not far from the late stage of foundation building." Li Qing saw Xu Xia's progress in cultivation at a glance and commented with approval.

After hearing this, Xu Xia said modestly: "It's all thanks to Uncle Wuji's cultivation. Without the cultivation resources provided by the sect, how could I have come this far."

Li Qing just felt that the style of this speech sounded somewhat familiar. Wasn't this the tone he always liked to use when he was being modest?
Li Qing laughed dumbly and shook his head. He did not continue to argue about this, but asked about what happened in Lingyun Sect when he was away:
"Well, tell me, what brought you here this time? Could it be that the sect has encountered some trouble?"

Now when he said this, Li Qing became quite confident.

As a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, even if he really encountered any trouble, he was confident that he could handle it.

Xu Xia shook his head repeatedly: "It can't be said to be a trouble, but there are some important matters that I need to let you know!"

"The first thing is from Senior Tianbao of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce. Two years ago, Senior Tianbao sent someone to deliver a letter to the sect."

"As stated in the letter, some of the spiritual materials that you originally entrusted the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce to search for have already been collected."

"In addition, the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce's headquarters will soon hold an auction. Calculating the time, it should be less than two years away. By then, many cultivators from large domains will come to participate. My Lingyun Sect has also received an invitation."

Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce with influence spanning many domains. Its strength and foundation are definitely top-notch in the human world. In addition, there may be an old monster in the God Transformation Stage hiding behind its headquarters. There are basically not many forces in this world that dare to provoke this chamber of commerce.

If such a powerful force were to hold an auction, its influence would be absolutely unquestionable. Perhaps in this auction, one might even encounter a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage!

"The Wanbao Festival. I can go and have a look, to broaden my horizons." Li Qing nodded and said to himself.

Seeing this, Xu Xia continued:

"The second thing is that several demon sects in the Great Wilderness Territory have learned that the spiritual energy in the Qingling Territory is becoming increasingly abundant."

"However, since they knew that you, the Ancestor, had killed the Xiaoyao Ancestor single-handedly, those demon sects did not make any unusual moves, but only submitted their visiting cards."

Hearing this, Li Qing nodded calmly, without any nervous or solemn expression.

He was not too surprised that the Qingling Domain would come into the sight of those demonic sects in the Great Wilderness Domain. It was just something that was expected.

After all, the spiritual environment of a large domain is becoming increasingly rich and prosperous. This is not something that can be concealed for long. Even the most dull cultivator can notice it.

In addition, as the situation in the Great Wilderness Territory becomes increasingly chaotic, more and more independent cultivators come to the Qingling Territory to escape the Immortal Path War, and the news will eventually get out.

Li Qing showed a very calm attitude towards this, and looked very confident:

"It doesn't matter. As long as those demon sect monks don't come to provoke us, we don't need to pay any more attention to them."

"After all, our Lingyun Sect has never regarded itself as a righteous sect, so there is no need for us to take the initiative to provoke the demon sect in the Great Wilderness."

Now as a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, Li Qing is naturally much more confident. He is no longer as awed by those demonic sects as he was before.

If a fight really breaks out, it's still unknown who will win.

It seems that those demonic sects in the Great Wilderness are not fools. It is impossible for them to come and make enemies with a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage for no reason!
Li Qing's confidence made Xu Xia feel a lot more at ease, and a sense of security emerged in his heart.

This is the benefit of having an ancestor in the Nascent Soul stage in charge. You can sit back and watch the ups and downs of the world.

If Lingyun Sect was still the same as before, there would definitely be two completely different outcomes.

Perhaps the minions of the demonic sect have already reached the Qingling area.

"The third thing is that the special flame gold patterns that you asked us to search for before you left have been found!"

After these words were spoken, Li Qing's brows finally moved.

"Oh?"

Before he left, he instructed the people in the sect to search for the flame-shaped golden emblem. This was related to whether the black furnace could be re-refined into the Life-Destroying Furnace, a magical treasure. Li Qing naturally cared about it very much.

You have to know that he traveled all over the country in his early years, and his footprints were in many places, but he only had eleven golden flame emblems in his hand.

There are thirty-six gaps on the inner wall of the black furnace, which means that there are still twenty-five golden fire emblems scattered in the world and nowhere to be found.

In fact, Li Qing didn't hold out much hope of collecting all of them. After all, this would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"It's a coincidence that three years ago, a dragon rose up in the south-central area of ​​Qingling Territory, and several mountains were overturned and collapsed. Many monks hiding in that area lost their lives!"

“However, after the earth dragon turned over, it seemed that a strange cave appeared, attracting the covetousness of many cultivators.”

"Later, I sent people to observe the situation outside. By chance, I saw someone holding the three flame gold patterns you mentioned. I decided to exchange them for a foundation-building pill and hundreds of spirit stones."

As he spoke, Xu Xia took out three golden flame-shaped emblems from his arms. They were exactly the same as the eleven that Li Qing had obtained, and they were of the same style!
Recognizing it at a glance, Li Qing nodded and took the flames: "Not bad, not bad, it is indeed the golden flame emblem I want."

Including the eleven in his hand, he has now collected fourteen flame gold patterns, but he is still far from complete.

"Also, that person once told me that these three golden fire patterns were brought out from that cave, but I don't know if there are more in there."

Li Qing thought for a while after hearing this. He thought of what Senior Bailing had said before.

The black furnace was originally a magical treasure known as the Mie Sheng Furnace. This furnace was controlled by an old monster in the God Transformation Stage. That man was the old man Mie Sheng who lived in the same era as Bai Ling Daojun.

After Bailing Daojun passed away, he left Li Qing with a method to refine the Life-Destroying Furnace, but the prerequisite was to collect all the flame gold patterns.

According to legend, once this furnace is fully activated, it can absolutely annihilate any living creature in the world. Its power is incredibly great!

It is precisely for this reason that Li Qing has always had a wish in his heart to refine this furnace to its peak.

After all, he has used the black furnace very smoothly over the years. It is not only a furnace for refining instruments, but can also be used for refining pills. The most important thing is that its defense is amazing enough that it can even withstand space turbulence.

Now it seems that if it can be refined into a supernatural treasure, its use will be even greater.

"The mysterious cave that appeared after the earth dragon turned over. Could it be the burial place of the old man Mie Sheng left behind?" Li Qing guessed in his heart and had the idea of ​​going to explore it, but not now.

Soon, he said, "Well, please write a letter to Tianbao Zhenjun of Wanbao Chamber of Commerce for me. I want all the spiritual materials he collected. In addition, I will not miss the auction held by the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce headquarters."

After saying that, Li Qing sent Xu Xia away and went to the dark room deep in the cave.

Buzz~!

The door of the dark room trembled slightly, and the scene inside was soon revealed.

It has been eight years since the blood pool last came. Naturally, it has completely dried up, and the blood lotus growing in the center of the pool has also become wilted.

Especially the petals of the blood lotus, which even have a sense of being broken and withered, and dull.

"Haha, if I come back a few years later, I'm afraid I will only be able to see a blood lotus seed." Li Qing said jokingly, and then patted the Xiaoyao Qiankun bag on his waist.

The next moment, a stream of bright red blood gushed out of the storage bag like a waterfall and poured into the blood pool.

As the dark room was once again filled with the pungent smell of blood, the blood pool quickly filled up, rippling scarlet red waves.

After a short while, the withered blood lotus regained its vitality and soon became full again.

Looking at the blood lotus swaying gently in the blood pool, Li Qing once again released a lot of blood from third-level exotic beasts and poured it all into the blood pool.

The more you pour in, the faster the blood lotus absorbs, as if it will never overflow.

Immediately afterwards, Li Qing flew up and sat directly on the blood lotus throne.

Almost in an instant, the blood-red lotus seat wrapped around Li Qing, this time it was faster and more violent than any previous time.

Even though he had experienced this more than once, Li Qing couldn't help but gasp when he felt the source of life pouring in.

This feeling made almost every cell in his body jump for joy. Ever since he achieved Nascent Soul cultivation, his life source has been in a state of loss.

In addition, he had consumed a lot of blood and life force in order to strengthen Lin Jing's physique in the polar night world.

"Hiss, this feeling is like ascending into the sky in broad daylight."

Li Qing's body was trembling slightly. As the blood lotus injected the pure source of life into his body, his subconscious was inevitably affected once again.

Fortunately, a beautiful and fairy music rang out in Li Qing's body, and soon it eliminated and expelled the evil thoughts that were changing his subconscious mind.

This is the beauty of Linglong Fairy Sound. Even if it cannot be activated actively, the fact that it can passively protect its master and prevent him from falling into the state of insanity is enough to make countless cultivators envious.

In this way, during this process, Li Qing's life source gradually became full and vigorous.

As a result, the Qi and Blood Dan that he cultivated in the Midnight World also became stronger.

Faintly, the blood pill seemed to be about to ignite a flame, which made Li Qing a little at a loss.

"Blood flame? What's going on here?"

He didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, but he had to suppress it first and stop the blood pill from growing stronger.

In addition, Li Qing's magic power gradually became deeper.

Although the progress is still slow, it is definitely improving!

This was far more efficient than his meditation and practice. Watching his own cultivation level increase bit by bit with his own eyes, this feeling made Li Qing very intoxicated.

"It's incredible. Just a few moments have equaled the effort I've put into practicing Qi for more than ten years."

While Li Qing was refining the essence that came from the blood-colored lotus, he continued to replenish the blood pool with the blood of the third-level exotic beasts.

At this time, there was still a lot of blood of the third-level exotic beast in the Xiaoyao Qiankun bag, which could be replenished almost continuously for a long time. In other words, Li Qing's practice this time could last for a long time.

As time went by, Li Qing's aura became more and more profound. He had already traveled a considerable distance in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed!
Li Qing, who was intoxicated by the blood lotus, finally used up all the blood of the exotic beasts in the Xiaoyao Qiankun bag.

After the lotus petals slowly opened, the figure of Li Qing, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the lotus platform, slowly emerged.

"Wow, it's unbelievable. After only half a year of hard training, my cultivation has improved to this point."

Feeling the overflowing magic power and vigorous life source in his body, Li Qing couldn't help but gasp again, his face filled with amazement.

His cultivation is already close to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and is even just a layer of window paper away. It seems that he can enter the middle stage of the Nascent Soul at any time. At most, he just needs an opportunity to break through that layer of window paper.

Li Qing had already prepared for what that opportunity was.

He can now enter the middle Nascent Soul stage at any time, making many Nascent Soul stage cultivators only able to look up to him.

But Li Qing didn't plan to do that, because the improvement this time was too great. He planned to spend some more time to slowly realize his progress in cultivation and feel his changes.

This is to prevent the realm from being too unstable after the breakthrough. After all, this kind of shortcut always has some inevitable disadvantages.

"I am one step away from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. I wonder if there has ever been a cultivator in this world who has cultivated as fast as me since ancient times."

Of course, Li Qing was not being arrogant. After all, he had spent many years in the polar night world, and these were times he had actually experienced personally.

So if you have to say, his pace is not that fast or exaggerated, and his foundation is still very solid.

Especially in the context of the Dharma Ending Age, the suppression of him by heaven and earth seemed to have brought some unexpected benefits. At least it strengthened his foundation and prevented Li Qing from taking such a big step at this time, which would cause his breath to become unstable and his realm to become superficial.

In that case, he would probably have to spend even longer time honing his realm to avoid encountering insurmountable bottlenecks when making breakthroughs in the future.

"It seems that the Dharma Ending Age in the Midnight World is not without some benefits. If there are cultivators in that world who can survive this Dharma Ending Age and welcome the revival of spiritual energy, their cultivation level may be able to directly usher in a leap forward."

Li Qing smiled and talked to himself, very satisfied with the results of his practice this time.
