Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 750 Near Death
Qingling Region, Lingyun Sect.

In the master's hall, master Xu Xia sat alone on the throne, with a sad and gloomy face.

"Master, the entire Dong'e City and the Qin family were destroyed by the demon. By the time we received the distress signal, everyone had already..."

A foundation-building elder sitting next to him reported in a deep voice, his face solemn to the extreme.

Hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed across Xu Xia's eyes. He said slowly, "This is really troublesome. I didn't expect that these ancient demons from the lower world knew how to use demonic energy to transform the bodies of human cultivators. Now nearly half of the entire region has been occupied, and there has been no news from Ancestor Wuji."

Li Qing had previously swept away all the ancient demons that had descended from the Qingling Territory, and even razed the demon's nest.

But no one expected that in the Great Wilderness, there were human cultivators who accepted the devilish energy and were transformed into acquired demons. Their lifespan and strength increased greatly. With so many benefits, they completely defected to the demon side.

These acquired demons that came from the Great Wilderness Territory have already extended their invasion to the Qingling Territory, causing a situation in which almost half of the entire region has been lost.

The market town where a large number of independent cultivators gathered, as well as some immortal cultivation families affiliated with Lingyun Sect, have all been destroyed at the hands of these acquired demons.

"Master, do you think we should organize the disciples in the sect to fight back?" said an elder who had established his foundation with a fierce look in his eyes.

But this proposal was rejected by Xu Xia. He said, "Don't be so reckless. Some time ago, the Grand Elder sensed a strange aura outside the sect, and it was suspected that there were demons spying on our sect."

"The strength of the ancient demon that is spying in secret is still unknown. If it launches a counterattack, it is likely to cause huge losses."

"Before Ancestor Wuji returns to the sect, you must not act rashly!"

In this situation, Xu Xia had to consider the sect, look at everything from the perspective of the sect's interests, and resolutely not take any risky moves.

He was also very saddened by the demise of the independent cultivators outside the sect and some immortal cultivation families, but no matter what, he had to let the sect disciples stay inside the mountain gate. In this way, there would be at least a fourth-order formation to protect them, and even if a powerful ancient demon really came, they could resist for a while.

Now he only hopes that the Wuji ancestor who is away can return safely as soon as possible.

At this moment, outside the master's hall, a figure hurried over.

"Master, there was a loud noise just now from Qingyun Peak where the Wuji Patriarch is. I don't know if this is because the Wuji Patriarch has returned to the sect!"

Hearing this report, Xu Xia stood up with a look of joy on his face, but being a careful man, he soon realized that something was wrong.

The cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage can fly high and freely in the air, so how could they make a loud noise when returning to the cave?

Could it be that Patriarch Wuji was seriously injured and his condition was so bad that even maintaining air flight became a problem?
Xu Xia immediately determined that Patriarch Wuji might not be in good condition, and he gave orders repeatedly:

"Keep this matter secret for now. Do not spread it around the sect. Just pretend nothing happened. Got it?"

The foundation-building elder who reported the matter was slightly startled, thinking that shouldn't it be a good thing that Patriarch Wuji returned to the sect? Why did the sect leader look as if he was facing a great enemy?

But over the years, Xu Xia has also developed a high level of authority in the sect, so the young foundation-building elder did not dare to say much and could only obey his orders.

"Besides me, there are two other disciples who know about this. I will go and tell them to keep their mouths shut."

Upon seeing this, Xu Xia left the Sect Master's Hall without a second thought, and then flew to several sacred peaks deep in the sect, intending to inform several supreme elders in the sect about the matter.

Just as Xu Xia guessed, Li Qing's condition was indeed extremely bad at the moment.

By the time he returned to his spiritual peak, even maintaining air flight had become a very difficult task. There was only a trace of true energy left in his body, and he was able to open the restrictions of the cave with great difficulty.

In addition, his body was even more exaggerated, his skin was dull and lifeless, and there was no sign of life at all. It would be an exaggeration to say that he was a thousand-year-old corpse.

The evil energy in his body was raging, and the poison was attacking his heart. It was truly a miracle that Li Qing could still hold on until now under such terrible double torture.

Li Qing opened the dark room in the cave with great difficulty and almost crawled to the edge of the blood pool.

finally reached
But before he could be happy for too long, Xuan Huang Zhen Yan's calm voice rang out again: "The poison has begun to attack your heart. I have tried my best. Good luck to you, kid."

Almost as soon as the voice fell, Li Qing's expression suddenly changed again. A burst of heart pain came over him, almost making him faint.

The deadly poison in the Sky Poison Heart had been accumulating in his body for too long, and had almost merged into his body.

Coincidentally, after returning to the cave, the power of the three spiritual fires in his body was completely exhausted. Without the maintenance of spiritual power, they slowly extinguished. At this moment, the poison also erupted in an instant, completely breaking through his heart meridians and began to erode his last bit of vitality.

For a moment, Li Qing's consciousness began to gradually become blurred. He rushed back to the sect from the sea with serious injuries. Even the strongest willpower had its limits.

Obviously, Li Qing had reached his limit at this moment. Coupled with the double blow of poison and demonic energy, his consciousness gradually began to disappear.

"That's it...?"

Pictures began to disappear in Li Qing's mind and flickered continuously. They were the countless sceneries he had seen, the things he had experienced, the people he had met, and the places he had visited since he started practicing Taoism.

"Master, Jing'er wants to go with you and travel around the world together."

"Brother Li, I know you have a foundation-building pill. I need it. I must succeed in building my foundation!"

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

"."

"Brother Li, I can't bear to leave you."

Finally, the picture froze on a beautiful face that was simple, elegant and cold. It was Shen Ningbing looking at Li Qing with tears in her eyes, and making a promise with him to meet again in the spirit world.

It was at this moment that a beautiful melody like heavenly music began to resound again.

Exquisite fairy music!

It was this immortal sound that could only passively protect the body again. This pleasant and melodious melody brought Li Qing's consciousness back to life.

It was as if he had a last burst of energy, and his body regained some strength.

Li Qing took out several bodies of demons without saying anything. This time he didn't even temper them and threw them directly into the blood pool.

boom!boom!
After doing all this, Li Qing gritted his teeth and persevered, crawling up to the swaying blood lotus platform step by step.

Just like receiving nourishment time and time again as usual, the petals of the blood lotus wrapped around him again, absorbing the life essence from the demon corpse while nourishing Li Qing.

Li Qing's body was originally like a dried-up stream, but at this moment spring water began to flow again.

Vitality was injected into his body again, and the dried-up essence gradually began to become vigorous.

And the poison that was corroding his vitality became more intense again, ferociously devouring the vitality of Li Qing's body. It was so stubborn that it was terrifying.

Li Qing regained his ability to move. He growled and, even in this extremely bad situation, he once again used the secret method of burning blood to extract his true essence.

However, using this secret method repeatedly will eventually have great side effects. Currently, the true energy extracted is less than 10%, which is pitifully small compared to the first time it was used.

But this was enough. Li Qing injected his true essence and aroused the soul-devouring demonic flame in his body, thereby resisting the poison's erosion of his vitality. Although it could not be eradicated, it could delay it well.

As for the remaining true energy, he once again took out the corpses of ancient demons, performed some simple refinement on them, and then threw them into the blood pool.

In this repetitive process, Li Qing's rapidly dissipating vitality was finally stabilized.

"Huh, I've finally escaped the brink of death, but it's only temporary. The current situation is really terrible." Li Qing clenched his teeth, feeling the horrific condition inside his body.

He had indeed reached the most difficult juncture in his life, and had never been in such a bad condition as he was now.

But no matter what, I can at least hold my breath.

This time he brought back a large number of ancient demon bodies, some of which were collected from the Demon Nest in Qingling Domain, some of which were killed in the battle on Tianji Island, and some of which he collected when he ventured into the Sea Rift.

The number is so large that it even exceeds a hundred, and most of them are corpses of ancient demons in the Nascent Soul stage, which is definitely enough for him to refine his essence.

"Let's restore our magic power first, and then slowly start healing our wounds."
