Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 753: Operation Sky Repair
While the entire sect was celebrating, Li Qing still stayed in his cave.

He had just made a breakthrough, and this time the step was huge. He needed to consolidate his cultivation and let his slightly frivolous aura settle down.

After seven days of meditation and breathing regulation, Li Qing's breathing gradually became stable and no longer seemed so unstable.

"There are still some corpses of ancient demons, but they are useless if kept. It is better to refine them together."

Having said that, Li Qing came to the dark room again, refined the remaining dozen or so ancient demon corpses in the storage bag into essence and blood, and then threw them all into the blood pool.

He once again sat cross-legged in the center of the blood lotus, wrapped in the lotus petals and nourished.

The life essence in the body was gradually replenished, and the magic power also slowly increased a little.

After the blood essence in the blood pool was exhausted again, his cultivation level only increased slightly, almost unnoticeably.

Compared with the previous middle stage of Nascent Soul, the growth rate of this level of cultivation is really too small.

"The cultivation in the late Nascent Soul stage is so difficult. The blood essence extracted from so many ancient demon corpses can only increase my cultivation by this much!"

"If I practice meditation step by step, I'm afraid it will take thousands of years to reach the perfection of the Nascent Soul stage."

“No wonder there are so few cultivators in the Divine Transformation Stage in the human world. There are only a handful of them in each major domain.”

Li Qing sighed, and the slight joy he had felt from breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage also dissipated a lot.

The cultivation at this level is too difficult. It is already difficult to improve one's cultivation by relying on normal meditation and Qi training.

Not to mention breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, even reaching the Nascent Soul Stage's Great Perfection is an extremely difficult task.

“I really don’t know how those great masters in the Spiritualization Stage practiced. Their aptitude is truly amazing. They can still achieve the Spiritualization Stage in such a barren environment of heaven and earth energy. It is truly astonishing.”

Li Qing sighed slightly and finally understood why the old Taoist priest with a goatee would seek an opportunity to break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage at the auction of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.

Next, Li Qing began to think about how to improve his cultivation.

"First, we must continue to collect the corpses of ancient demons, especially those in the God Transformation Stage. We must get them if we have the chance."

“Although the effect of improving my cultivation by nourishing myself with blood lotus is minimal, it is faster than practicing meditation. I can’t give up yet.”

"Secondly, I have to find a way to refine more magic weapons to increase my lifespan. As long as my life is long enough, there will always be a chance to glimpse the avenue."

After going through the previous trials, Li Qing now has very little life left, only about a thousand years or so.

Of course, a lifespan of more than a thousand years is an exaggerated number for other Nascent Soul cultivators, but in Li Qing’s opinion, it is still a bit too little.

His cultivation method was too violent. Every time he tempered himself to break through, he would lose a large amount of essence, which greatly shortened his lifespan.

In addition, he also mastered the "Transformation Magic Art". If he encounters danger again in the future, he will definitely use this magic art to condense the seven-colored life essence and use it to enhance his own abilities.

So in Li Qing's opinion, he needs to live for at least three thousand years, or even longer, to feel safe enough.

No one would complain that life span is too long!

After making some plans for the future, Li Qing jumped down from the blood lotus seat and left the dark room step by step.

Although Li Qing now has the ability to refine spiritual treasures, it does not mean that he will only refine spiritual treasures.

You should know that in fact, if an ordinary magic weapon is successfully refined, it can also increase his lifespan.

Even though he doesn't have much need for ordinary magic weapons now, there are still other supreme elders in the Jindan stage in the sect, especially supreme elders like Chu Lingyi and Jiang Han who have just reached the Jindan stage not long ago. They definitely don't have many magic weapons that can be used for self-defense.

So, Li Qing made a special trip to the sect's warehouse.

The treasures in Lingyun Sect are naturally far from comparable to the Dragon Palace treasure house of the Jiaolong Clan. Both in value and quantity, there is a huge gap.

Li Qing's vision is now more than just a level higher?
Many spiritual materials and treasures were already difficult to catch his eye, and the sect’s storehouse did not stock extremely precious spiritual materials.

So he just picked up some spiritual materials and brought them back to the cave.

"Thousand-year-old blood pear wood, strange stone, purple iron, and astrological cinnabar."

“Although it is not a very precious spiritual material, it is more than enough to refine a few magic weapons.”

After Li Qing finished speaking, his figure flashed in the sect's treasure house and returned to the cave in an instant.

In Li Qing's cave on Qingyun Peak,
These days, waves of spiritual power could be heard from his cave from time to time.

Every time spiritual power becomes agitated, it represents the birth of a magical weapon!
With Li Qing's current superb refining skills, refining magic weapons is not too difficult for him. As long as there are enough materials, he can even achieve mass production!

boom!
Along with a burst of spiritual energy, a sharp sword with a green glow appeared before his eyes.

[Successfully refine the magic weapon: Ziwu Qingming Sword, and be rewarded with a lifespan of 300 years! ]

This is a flying sword-like magic weapon used in the Jindan period. It has considerable power, and the Taoist patterns engraved on it are extremely sophisticated. They are the result of Li Qing's profound accumulation over the years.

"Huh, let's call it a day for now." Li Qing let out a long sigh, and when he saw that his remaining life span had been fixed at 2,632 years, he felt a lot more relaxed.

At this moment, in addition to the Ziwu Qingming Sword that he had just refined, there were several magical weapons of very good quality floating around him.

Several magic weapons exuded various colors of spiritual light. Just one glance at them revealed that these treasures must have been made by a master weapon refiner.

The Taoist patterns are obscure and profound, and their appearance is exquisite. They are all rare magic weapons!

Li Qing was quite satisfied with his masterpieces.

Just when he was about to put these treasures into the treasury, Xu Xia's figure suddenly appeared outside his cave.

"Ancestor Wuji, Wanbao Tower has sent a spiritual letter. They are ready to carry out the plan to deal with the ancient demon!"

Hearing this, Li Qing's heart was slightly shocked, but he did not expect that this opportunity would come so soon.

He naturally knew what the plan was, which was to set up the Starry Sky Patching Array in all areas of the human world, including the four seas, to repair the space rift connecting to the Demon World.

Once successful, these ancient demons stranded in the human world will lose their support, and it will only be a matter of time before they are wiped out.

"Let me see what the spiritual letter says." Li Qing asked. Soon, Xu Xia sent the spiritual letter intact into Li Qing's cave.

Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is indeed ready to take action, and the date is set for seven days later.

By then, including the Qingling Domain, other major domains will also take action together to set up this strange formation to repair the space rifts.

The Wanbao Chamber of Commerce still did not know the whereabouts of Li Qing and only thought that Li Qing had fallen into the hands of the demons, so they only wanted Lingyun Sect to provide certain assistance, not to let Lingyun Sect take on the main force.

The content of the assistance is also brief and is divided into two parts.

One is to send out the sect's elite to eliminate the demons around Lingyun Sect, thereby attracting the attention of the ancient demon.

The second is to send at least three Jindan stage cultivators to the location of the space rift in Qingling Territory to assist the people of Wanbao Chamber of Commerce in guarding it for a period of time. If any ancient demon approaches, they will eliminate it.

The spiritual letter did not mention what the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce was going to do. After all, the matter of closing the space rift was top secret and naturally would not be leaked in the letter.

Outside the cave, Xu Xia's voice came slowly: "Ancestor, should my Lingyun Sect agree to this?"

After hearing this, Li Qing thought about it carefully for a while, and then said, "Of course I have to agree to it. It is the duty of cultivators like me to wipe out the demonic threat. How can I retreat?"

"But I will follow you secretly this time, so there is no need to worry too much about any danger."

"You should immediately write a letter to inform Wanbaolou that our Lingyun Sect will do its best to help you in this operation!"

After hearing this, Xu Xia nodded and said, "I understand!"

The day of counterattack came so quickly, which was something no one in Lingyun Sect had expected.

Under Xu Xia's mobilization, the sect's foundation-building elders and elite disciples formed small-scale teams, with one foundation-building elder leading five inner disciples to form a team.

The fundamental purpose this time is naturally just to attract the attention of the demons and provide some cover for the actions on the other side of the rift in the demon world as much as possible.

Therefore, Lingyun Sect will naturally not send out all its forces, but will only start to harass the expanding demons on a limited scale.

"Elders, you must remember that the most important thing in this operation is to protect yourself. Do not put yourself in danger!"

Xu Xia carefully explained the things that should be paid attention to in this operation, especially the importance of life safety.

He looked at the elders with solemn expressions and the disciples with excited looks, and sighed repeatedly in his heart.

Although the purpose of this attack was just a feint, sacrifice was inevitable. After all, they were facing powerful and extremely cruel demon monks, and there was no telling how many of their fellow disciples would die.

Whenever Xu Xia thought of this, he would feel heartbroken.

The above are just the actions taken overtly. As for the actions to secretly cooperate with Wanbao Tower, Lingyun Sect has also selected the people.

The three supreme elders who went on this expedition were: Chu Lingyi, Jiang Han, and Wu Chong!
For this purpose, Li Qing also gave the three of them several magic weapons that he had refined to ensure their safety.

Jiang Han, dressed in a white robe as white as snow, chose the Ziwu Qingming Sword. He was an alchemist and his attainments in refining equipment were relatively superficial, so after getting the sword, his eyes showed considerable satisfaction.

"What a good sword! Thank you, ancestor, for the gift!" Jiang Han said gratefully.

Chu Lingyi chose a bluish-purple mirror, which was a star-reflecting mirror, a magic weapon made from purple black iron and cinnabar.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Li!" Chu Lingyi cheered with sparkling light in her eyes.

As for the magic weapon Wu Chong obtained, it was a wooden seal made of thousand-year-old blood pear wood. The seal had a very strong suppressing power. Once suppressed, the blood in the cultivator's body would flow backwards, impacting the heart and lungs. Combined with Wu Chong's "Taotie Magic Art", it could be said that it complemented each other.

Looking at the three people who had obtained the magic weapon, Li Qing slowly said: "You three, remember, this operation is of great importance. Although Wanbaolou only wants your assistance, there is no guarantee that you will not be targeted by powerful ancient demons."

"I will follow you in secret throughout this operation, but after all, the ancient demons' methods are strange and unpredictable. Even I dare not say that I can guarantee your safety."

"So you have to be smart. If you see that the situation is not good, just run away and don't fight to the death!"

After hearing Li Qing's warning, the three finally understood how great the danger might be in this operation.

"Senior Brother Li, what should we do if an ancient demon in the God Transformation Stage appears?" Chu Lingyi asked with blinking eyes.

After hearing this, Li Qing chuckled and said, "Ancient demons in the Spiritualization Stage are not cabbages on the roadside. They will not appear whenever they want."

"But if they really come, don't worry about anything and just run away immediately. I will try to stop them."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Lingyi swallowed her saliva, her eyes full of admiration.

As for Wu Chong and Jiang Han, there was a hint of shock in their eyes.

He could even fend off an ancient demon in the God Transformation Stage. They dared not imagine how powerful Li Qing was now.

In response, Li Qing just waved his hand and said, "Okay, time is running out. The three of you should leave as soon as possible to avoid wasting time."

"You must not forget what I said before. You must take your own life as the most important thing in everything you do!"

Just like that, after Li Qing's repeated instructions, the three of them left the gate of Lingyun Sect.

Although this was their first time facing the ancient demon that had come down to the human world, and there were many dangers involved, they were not as nervous as they had imagined.

It's just because they know that Li Qing will protect them secretly in this operation, so at least their life safety is greatly guaranteed.

Watching the three figures leaving the mountain gate, Li Qing also flashed, restrained his own aura, and then turned into a beam of light and rushed into the sky.

At this moment, the top cultivators in various major domains of the human world have already taken action.

Under the organization of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, they took the array plates engraved with the Starlight Patching Sky Array and the array base material and rushed to the space rifts in their respective domains.

The significance of their action this time is actually no less than repairing the sky.

Once the spatial rifts in the demon world are repaired, the pressure of subsequent demonic threats will be greatly reduced.

On the contrary, if this action fails, what may follow is an even more ferocious counterattack from the demon world!
