Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 855 The city lord invites you
The three words "Ascendant" exclaimed by the soldiers guarding the city attracted the attention of many people at the city gate. They all looked over and looked at Li Qing in amazement.

Li Qing felt a little uncomfortable with these gazes. He didn't expect that the fact that he was an ascender would cause such a sensation.

"The senior is actually an ascender. It has been many years since an ascender appeared in Tonggu Continent." The soldier guarding the city muttered to himself in shock.

The other onlookers also started talking:
"Unbelievable. Generally speaking, shouldn't cultivators who ascend from the lower realms land on the Tianyuan Continent?"

"It seems that this senior had an accident during his ascension, which led to him landing in our Tonggu Continent."

"I have heard that all the monks who ascended from the lower realms are extremely talented and have strong wills. They will all achieve great success in the future."

"Isn't that a lie? I don't think he looks special."

"."

From the reactions of the soldiers defending the city and the discussions of the people around them, Li Qing finally found out.

In fact, in the spiritual world, the value of those who ascend is very high, representing great achievements in the future.

Just imagine, if one can cultivate to the Spirit Transformation Stage and ascend to the upper realm in such an extremely harsh environment in the lower realm, then in the prosperous environment of the spiritual realm, one will probably be like a fish in water.

In fact, many ascenders who ascended from the lower realm to the spiritual world did achieve remarkable success in the end. As long as nothing unexpected happened, at worst they could advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

For a moment, many people in the city looked at Li Qing with something strange in their eyes, which were filled with admiration and respect, even a bit of fanaticism.

"Senior, you can wander around the city at will. I will report this matter right away!" After the sergeant guarding the city said this, he rushed into the city excitedly.

Li Qing opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing else. He moved swiftly into the city and disappeared in the crowd.

Not long after, Li Qing appeared in a market in Xuan Gu City that was dedicated to transactions among immortal cultivators.

There are many stalls and some shop fronts in the market. The spiritual energy here is particularly rich, approaching the level of a fifth-order spiritual vein.

Being here, Li Qing could even feel that the injuries in his body were recovering faster.

"It's worthy of being the spirit world. Even a small border town has such rich immortal resources, many of which I can't even recognize."

Li Qing smacked his lips and sighed in his heart. He swept his eyes across some stalls in the market and found that many of the spiritual medicines were rare species that had been extinct in the lower world for many years.

"Yang Sui Root is a spiritual medicine that can only grow in some extremely yang places. The root of this spiritual medicine is very valuable. It can be used to make pills and medicine, and can also be swallowed raw."

"If you take enough, not only can you improve your physical condition, you can even cultivate a breath of primordial yang energy in your body, which can restrain most evil and yin things, comparable to a pure yang body created after birth."

"Purple Jade Bamboo, it's a pity that it's not old enough, otherwise I could condense bamboo dew and drip it into my eyes, which would give them a natural pupil skill, the ability to see through the void."

There were so many things on display in the market that Li Qing was overwhelmed and wished he could put them all in his pocket.

He walked to a stall and asked, "Daoyou, how much is this Yang Sui Root? Can it be traded for Spiritual Stones?"

The stall owner is a body cultivator. His attainments in body cultivation are incredible, having already reached the peak of the fourth level. He is only one step away from achieving a fifth level body, comparable to a great demon who has reached the state of spiritual transformation.

"Haha, this senior is joking. If it's other things, they can naturally be traded with spirit stones, but I risked my life to pick this Yang Marrow Root from the third level of the Fire Region."

"I want to exchange this for a drop of blood essence, which must be the blood essence of a monster with true spirit bloodline!"

Hearing this, Li Qing almost rolled his eyes.

Asking for the essence and blood of the descendants of a true spirit is probably no different from directly asking for the essence and blood of a true spirit.

All of these beings are extremely terrifying and extremely powerful. To make them shed a drop of blood, one must have a being at least of the same level.

This man didn't have much sincerity, so Li Qing just shook his head and went to other stalls. Anyway, he didn't really need the Yang Marrow Root, he just asked with the mentality of giving it a try.

Soon, Li Qing found a stall filled with various spiritual materials and gold.

The stall owner had his hands folded across his chest, his eyes closed, resting, not caring about his business at all.

Several of these spiritual materials are very valuable, and are even enough to become the main materials for refining spiritual treasures.

However, there was one spiritual material that caught his attention. It was a red gem the size of a human head, with many patterns engraved on it, as if it was naturally formed.

"After watching for so long, have you figured out anything?" the stall owner asked abruptly.

Hearing this, Li Qing just shook his head and said, "It's very strange, a bit like Lihuo Xuanyu, but these patterns make me unsure."

The stall owner saw that Li Qing had said something, and knew that he was an expert, so he said:

"You're not mistaken. This is indeed a piece of Lihuo Xuanyu. But unfortunately, the spiritual power of this precious jade has been used by some damned fellow to engrave these patterns."

"I suspect these patterns have some hidden secrets, maybe even a form of fire magic."

Only then did Li Qing realize that the stall owner was actually a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage, and his magic power should be quite strong.

"Excuse me, where did you get this?" Li Qing asked curiously.

The stall owner shook his head and said, "I got this from a traveling merchant, but I don't know its exact origin. At the time, I thought this piece of Lihuo Xuanyu still had some spiritual power, so I wanted to use it to refine my natal treasure, but I was wrong."

At this point, the stall owner showed a look of gnashing teeth.

"If you want, I'll sell it to you for 30,000 merit points."

Merit points?
Li Qing was slightly stunned, not knowing what it was, but he could roughly guess that it should be something like a contribution to the sect.

But he had just arrived and had no achievements to trade!

Moreover, he had not yet figured out what 30,000 merits were worth, so it was naturally impossible for him to agree to the other party.

"Ahem, I wonder how to get these merit points? What are their uses?" Li Qing coughed and asked awkwardly.

The stall owner narrowed his eyes, and then said, "You are not a human from Tonggu Continent? How come you don't even know this?"

"That's right. I have just arrived at Tonggu Continent not long ago and just entered the city today. Please tell me clearly, fellow Daoist." Li Qing no longer said that he was an ascended cultivator, but just said that he had just arrived on the continent to avoid causing surprise again.

The stall owner shook his head and explained patiently, "It's quite rare. Apart from those desperate transcontinental merchants, there are actually people coming to Tonggu Continent."

"If you want to earn merit points, there are many ways to do so. You can take on some missions assigned by the city, or you can set up a stall and sell things like I did."

"Of course, the fastest way is to make great achievements in the war." "As long as you have enough merit points, you can exchange them for what you want in the city. Spiritual materials and spiritual objects can all be traded, and you can also go to the Giant King City to exchange for more precious things."

"Someone even obtained a piece of the remains of a descendant of the True Spirit from the Giant Spirit City and refined it into a magical treasure!"

Hearing this, Li Qing's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that the merit points would have such a great effect.

In fact, this is a form of reward established by the Giants to encourage all races that are their vassal states to strive to make military achievements and contribute more in the war.

This is a powerful clan with a long heritage and even a Mahayana ancestor within the clan. The immortal resources they possess are absolutely astonishing!

Suppressing his restlessness for the moment, Li Qing asked again, "Do merchants from other continents often come to Xuan Ancient City to trade? I want to know which merchant did you trade this Lihuo Xuanyu from?"

The stall owner explained, "It's not common. Except for a few companies with relatively stable merchant teams, those small caravans often come once and never appear again."

"Crossing the continent is not an easy task. There are many unexpected events that could happen."

In the end, Li Qing still failed to trade for the Lihuo Xuanyu, but he inquired again and learned that the other party would not leave in the short term and would continue to set up a stall here to do business.

After leaving the market town, the Xuanhuang True Flame in his body could no longer be suppressed.

"Li Qing! Why don't you buy the Lihuo Jade now? What if someone else buys it?!"

"I am sure that the Dao patterns on it were definitely left by the Heavenly Monarch. There is no way I could have made a mistake!"

Hearing this, Li Qing rolled his eyes and said, "I would like to buy it, but I need to have enough merit points."

"How about I sell you and see if a spiritual fire of heaven and earth that has given birth to spiritual intelligence can be exchanged for 30,000 to 50,000 merits. Then I will buy you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xuan Huang Zhen Yan finally calmed down and suppressed its restlessness.

That’s right, the reason why Li Qing had been so concerned about the Lihuo Xuanyu was because of the Xuanhuang True Flame.

It felt the aura of Chihuang Tianjun from it, and was very sure that those patterns were left by Chihuang Tianjun.

As for whether he could discover or gain something from it, it all depends on whether his "Red Brilliant Heaven Burning Art" can arouse some resonance from it.

"Then what are you waiting for? Find a way to earn merit points as soon as possible! Don't let anyone get there first!" Xuanhuang Zhenyan couldn't help but urge again.

Li Qing shook his head and said, "Don't worry. The spiritual energy in the Lihuo Xuanyu has been used to condense the patterns. It can no longer be used to refine treasures. The value is not high anymore, and it will be difficult to sell it."

"And if we delay it a little longer, there might be room for bargaining. Didn't he say he wouldn't leave in the near future?"

He planned to settle down in the city first, find out the value of the merit points, and then think of a way to act.

Just as Li Qing was about to go to the city to see the place to accept the mission, a wave of breath suddenly came from the sky.

I saw a team of soldiers riding on flying war horses landing in front of Li Qing. These people were different from the soldiers guarding the city. They had a more solemn and murderous temperament. The armors on their bodies were all magic weapons, and they were monks who also practiced body training!

"Senior, we are the city lord's guards and we only obey the city lord's orders."

"The City Lord would like you to go to the City Lord's Mansion. Is it convenient now?"

The city lord invites you!

Li Qing didn't expect that his arrival would alarm the strongest person in Xuan Gu City so quickly, which surprised him a little.

He was also a little curious about how these guards found him so accurately. After all, he had been hiding his aura since entering the city, and his whereabouts were difficult to track. He also didn't notice anyone following him along the way.

As if seeing Li Qing's doubts, the guard explained:

"Senior, you may not know that the formation in the city can sense the aura of every token after entering the city. As long as you carry it with you, we can use it to find your location."

So that's how it is. Li Qing understood a little, then nodded and said, "Okay, you lead the way."

Li Qing followed these guards into the air. It turned out that the City Lord's Mansion was in the sky. There was an island hidden in the clouds, and the spiritual energy was extremely rich.

After entering the sky island, a middle-aged man slowly walked out of the city lord's mansion.

As soon as he saw this person for the first time, Li Qing felt a chill in his heart. He found that this person seemed to have merged into one with the entire world, and his aura did not exist at all.

“Hahahaha, he is indeed an ascender from the lower realm. His aura has not yet completely assimilated into this realm.”

"My friend, it seems that you have had a very dangerous time on the way to ascension. Although your realm has not fallen, many of your meridians have been severed. If they are not repaired in time, it may affect your foundation."

The middle-aged man laughed heartily and directly revealed Li Qing's strengths and weaknesses.

Needless to say, this man is the strongest in Xuan Ancient City!

"My name is Li Qing, nice to meet you, senior!" Li Qing naturally showed great courtesy to a cultivator whose realm and cultivation were higher than his own.

This is the strongest human he has ever seen in his life, and he is also a cultivator who protects the human race in an area. He deserves such respect.

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "Little friend Li Qing, there is no need to be so polite. I think after you have recovered your cultivation, it shouldn't take long for you to catch up with me."

"Ascendants from the lower realms will be treated with great respect no matter which continent they are placed on."

This was the first time Li Qing heard such a statement. He did not expect that his identity as an ascender would be quite popular. He originally thought that he would be discriminated against or suppressed by the native humans in the spiritual world.

Obviously, he really misunderstood.

Perhaps this was the case a long time ago, but as more and more ascenders ascended to the spirit world, these ascenders showed amazing potential, which made the native human race in the entire spirit world change their attitude.

"My friend, you don't know that if you ascend to Tianyuan Continent, you will be taken care of even more. Even those immortal families with a long history will extend an olive branch to you."

"But since you have come to my Xuan Gu City, as the lord of this city, I will naturally not treat you unfairly!"

"Come, please come into the mansion and have a chat!"

The middle-aged city lord was very hospitable and invited Li Qing into his mansion directly.

"Then I'd better obey your command respectfully." Li Qing clasped his fists again.
