Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 837 Ancient Spirit Seed

Li Qing picked up some ancient spirit seeds that were sealed very well. Each one was dry, covered with wrinkles, and lifeless.

He could not sense any spiritual presence from them, not even a trace. It was obvious that these spirit species could no longer survive. Not to mention that this was a world without any spiritual energy, even if they were brought back to a world with spiritual energy, their fate would be nothing more than a handful of flying ash.

"Did you dig these out from the former immortal ruins?" Li Qing tried to identify the types of these ancient spiritual seeds, but most of them were no longer recognizable. Only for a few seeds he could barely recognize which spiritual medicine seeds they were.

For example, those dark brown spiritual seeds about the size of peanuts are the spiritual seeds of Luo Yuchi Fruit. This is a spiritual medicine that can grow to half a person's height. When mature, it will form a reddish-brown fist-sized fruit. When the fruit is ripe, the whole spiritual medicine will wither.

In the human world, Luo Yuchi Fruit is a precious auxiliary medicine in medicine refining and can be used in many ancient pill recipes.

But nowadays this kind of spiritual medicine is somewhat difficult to find, because due to its characteristics, the output of this kind of spiritual medicine seeds is extremely small.

Li Qing knew that a kind of elixir recipe needed to use this kind of Luoyu red fruit as an auxiliary medicine, which he obtained from the Mingwang Valley Sutra Pavilion.

The name of the pill is Jade Bone Pill. As the name suggests, long-term use of this pill can allow one's bones to slowly transform into jade bones. It can be considered a pill used for body refining.

But if it can be taken together with the Ice Muscle Pill, it can even achieve the effect of icy skin and jade bones, which can barely be considered an acquired physique.

The physique of icy skin and jade-like bones is not just used to describe a woman's appearance. It can also provide certain assistance during spiritual practice. Every time you breathe in and out spiritual energy, a unique type of ice energy can be nurtured in the body.

This kind of ice energy is very effective in suppressing opponents, and can also be used as a method of performing some unique secret techniques.

Hearing Li Qing's question, Chen Chaosheng dragged a wooden box from somewhere else. He opened the box and answered:

"Yes, they were basically dug out from those immortal sect ruins."

"We sealed these ancient spiritual seeds in the hope that they would be useful someday in the future. Perhaps one day they could be planted and sprout."

"But so many years have passed, and no one holds out hope. These spirit seeds have been eating ashes here for who knows how many years."

The wooden box contained another batch of ancient spirit seeds. These spirit seeds were fuller, but they had still lost their spirituality and were lifeless.

"The ancient seeds in this box were dug out from a ruin called a Dao Pavilion. That ruin is the most dangerous. Many Dan-holding warriors died during the excavation, and even a martial arts saint was seriously injured."

"A corpse was dug out at that time, tied up with various iron chains. Everyone who came into contact with the corpse died inexplicably and turned into a pool of pus and blood."

"When we went to check again later, the body had mysteriously disappeared and no one could find it."

Chen Chaosheng used plain words to describe something extremely strange and terrifying. Even Li Qing was quite surprised. He did not expect that there would be such a strange thing.

But it is not particularly shocking. After all, there are some unorthodox cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation who practice such unorthodox methods as corpse-walking and immortal-reincarnation.

Li Qing looked into the wooden box. Some of the ancient spirit seeds inside were even covered in dirt.

"what"

A dark green round seed caught his attention. It looked like a green date, but it had natural lines on it.

Li Qing carefully rubbed the dark green seed with his fingertips, but apart from feeling a cool sensation, he found nothing else.

This seed should be quite extraordinary. He guessed that it might be the seed of some holy medicine. If it could be grown, the harvest might be amazing.

“What a pity!”

"But I want all these spirit seeds. I'll see if I can find some way to save one or two."

These so-called methods are naturally the seven-colored life essence!

In his early years, Li Qing had acquired a magical skill that could transform his lifespan into a colorful life essence with infinite uses.

The seven-colored life essence can enhance the power of magic weapons and magical powers, and can also enhance the efficacy of some elixirs.

Although Li Qing has used it less frequently in recent years, he still clearly remembers that one of the most important functions of the Seven-Colored Life Essence is to revive some dead things.

This is how he revived the original fire of the Soul-Devouring Demonic Flame that he had obtained.

"It would be great if the senior likes these things. Anyway, these ancient spiritual seeds will just gather dust if we keep them, and maybe one day they will be completely weathered away." Chen Chaosheng showed a hint of joy.

Since Li Qing asked for it, he will definitely not be treated unfairly!

Li Qing just chuckled and then patted his storage bag.

A Ganoderma lucidum with a faint purple glow appeared in his hand. He handed it to Chen Chaosheng and said, "Purple Rongzhi, it's almost five hundred years old. It can increase your lifespan by fifty years and replenish your vitality."

"There are also these elixirs that strengthen the body and replenish the essence. They are very useful for martial artists and can strengthen their own qi and blood."

Listening to Li Qing's words, Chen Chaosheng took these things with great surprise.

"It's incredible that this has such a wonderful effect. Is this the glorious era of immortals?"

This seemingly casually taken thing surprised Chen Chaosheng, as it was basically unimaginable in the polar night world.

Even if there are things with similar effects, they will be cursed by the Red Moon and become neither human nor ghost. He will not touch them unless he really reaches a desperate day.

To Li Qing, these things of his were indeed not valuable or precious.

The Lingyun Sect can now easily produce many elixirs that are less than a thousand years old.

As for those panaceas for strengthening the body, their value is even more ordinary, even not as good as that 500-year-old purple Ganoderma lucidum!
"In the future, you can continue to explore some ancient ruins and dig up similar ancient species. I will exchange them for these elixirs."

"Also, I will probably stay here for a while. If you encounter any problems that you cannot solve in the ruins, you can come to me."

"Finally, these elixirs and magic pills cannot be preserved for a long time, so use them up as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Chen Chaosheng nodded repeatedly, his heart filled with surprise.

"Thank you, Senior Protector!" He clasped his fists deeply towards Li Qing, his gratitude evident in his words.

Obviously, inspired by the things Li Qing brought out, the Martial Alliance will usher in the next great archaeological era in the future and continue to excavate the ancient immortal sect ruins buried in the long river of time.

No matter it is a longevity elixir without any side effects, or a magic pill that strengthens the body and enhances qi and blood, they are extremely precious things to these warriors and are priceless.

If the news gets out, all the martial arts saints in the entire dynasty will be unable to sit still and will go out in person to dig up the remains of the immortal sects. They will even go beyond the territory of the dynasty to explore and search for various immortal relics.

As for how to control this degree, it depends on Chen Chaosheng himself.

Li Qing would not interfere any more. All he had to do was to provide some insignificant spiritual medicines to him, that was all! Having received the promise, Chen Chaosheng left quickly to prepare for these matters, leaving Li Qing alone in the tower.

Li Qing was naturally happy to have some peace and quiet. He climbed to the third floor alone. What was placed here were basically some ancient scriptures, all of which came from the original immortal sects.

With the mentality of reading more and accumulating more, Li Qing began to read through these mostly incomplete martial arts inheritances one by one.

"'The Pluto's Book of the World' has a very impressive name, but unfortunately it is badly damaged, with only two pages of text left."

Li Qing held two pieces of scriptures that could turn into ashes at any time, silently wrote down the few scriptures inside, and then put them down.

After the Dharma Ending Age, these skills were not properly preserved and were severely lost.

Even the jade slips engraved with the inheritance were badly worn out, and it was impossible to obtain the complete skills from them.

Although he felt a little regretful, Li Qing still read through these scriptures carefully, as a way to broaden his horizons.

"Most of them are some not-so-excellent martial arts scriptures. It's a pity that only a few of them were not preserved."

"What a huge loss! These are treasures that have been passed down for who knows how many years, but they were completely lost in the long river of time because of an era of the end of the Dharma."

Li Qing muttered to himself as he put down the last incomplete chapter of a martial arts technique. This was a martial arts technique called "Xuanyuan Daodian", a sword-cultivating technique. Now only the foundation-building chapter and the elixir-forming chapter were left. It had no beginning or end and was not of high value.

After reading it, I didn't gain anything worth mentioning, but I can say that I gained a lot of knowledge.

Afterwards, Li Qing left this place and flew towards the other side of the palace.

The current royal family is the fourth generation of Miao Tuo’s descendants. The young man who was so talented back then has been dead for many years and failed to successfully ignite his own divine fire.

In such a huge royal city, there was no one he was familiar with anymore, only strangers.

Li Qing did not go to meet the current emperor of the Xuewu Dynasty, but came to an imperial tomb where Miao Tuo was buried.

Recalling the glorious past, I sigh that generations of geniuses have been lost in the long river of time.

The next time I come to the polar night world, I'm afraid there will be a new group of faces. Li Qing's long life makes him always say goodbye, and he may not even have time to say goodbye.

After a moment of feeling lost, Li Qing's figure became illusory again. He left the royal city and headed towards the direction of the Giant Mushroom City.

The Giant Mushroom City has not changed much and still stands on the plain in the dark as it did before.

However, now there are many more houses and buildings under the giant mushroom, and roads extend into the distance, connecting other giant cities of the Xuewu Dynasty.

There are many cities like this in the territory of the Xuewu Dynasty today. They have a powerful sacrificial spirit to protect them from attacks by strange beasts from the outside world.

Li Qing's figure slowly descended and arrived at an ancient castle at the top of the Giant Mushroom City.

"Long time no see. You disappeared for so many years. I thought you would never come back."

A thought suddenly resounded in Li Qing's mind. This was the thought from the mushroom spirit that he had subdued.

Hearing this, Li Qing finally showed a smile on his face.

"Of course I will come back. The red moon spores you produce are good things. How could I miss them?"

"Besides, our agreement will probably last for more than 2,000 years. I am not someone who breaks promises."

The mushroom spirit was silent for a while, and then continued to transmit: "Tell me, what do you want this time you come back."

"Haha, two fourth-level red moon spores. Don't refuse. This shouldn't be a difficult task for you, right?"

"Don't worry. After this, I won't bother you again. You can be a sacrificial spirit here without any worries. Just don't do anything that will cause trouble to the people."

Li Qing smiled and said that he came here not only to see the mushroom sacrifice, but also to ask for two red moon spores that can promote the evolution and transformation of monsters.

It was not prepared for others, but for the Fire Jade Queen Bee and Chong Jiu that he raised.

It’s a bit infuriating to say this. After waking up, Li Qing discovered that Chong Jiu’s character was extremely lazy and he hadn’t even advanced to the transformation stage.

This guy has been sleeping in the beast-taming bag. If Li Qing didn't think about it, he would even think that he had passed away.

In response to Li Qing's request, the Mushroom Sacrifice Spirit said with a little pain: "No problem, remember what you said."

It didn't dare to refuse, because its life and death depended on Li Qing's thoughts. Even without the constraints of the master's spiritual contract, it felt that Li Qing was now even more powerful and unpredictable.

It was extremely wary of this mysterious human being. It sat above the castle as if it had merged into one with the entire world, without any sound.

As the entire giant mushroom city trembled slightly, two bright red crimson moon spores slowly flew in front of Li Qing.

"Very good." Li Qing waved his hand, put the Red Moon Spore into the storage bag, and then snapped his fingers crisply.

Snapped!
The next moment, a faint ray of consciousness dissipated in the wind from below.

"Okay, the contract between you and me is over. I hope to see you again next time I come."

After saying that, Li Qing disappeared again without any stopping, as if he had never been there.

The Mushroom Priest felt Li Qing's departure, and its thoughts suddenly became complicated.

“It’s been solved.”

Having severed its connection with this human race, it always felt as if it had missed something.

Li Qing returned to the royal city again, and he meditated and practiced in a forbidden area in the palace.

The time flow rate is three times faster than that in the Midnight World, which is just right for him to comprehend and practice some extremely time-consuming skills and secret techniques.

Here, he only needs to return to the human world from time to time to maintain his own state without worrying about the impact of the Dharma Ending Age on him.

In the outside world, because of a series of orders from Chen Chaosheng, many Qi and Blood warriors were once again encouraged to head into the dark wilderness to search for traces of the original immortal path.

Anyone who makes a discovery will receive a generous reward!

Obviously, another great era of archaeology has arrived.
