Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 856: Master Jian
In the City Lord's Mansion, Li Qing sat on a cushion. Just as he sat down, he felt a sense of mental clarity, and all the distracting thoughts in his heart faded away.

In this state, it is of great help in comprehending some Taoist principles, and it is even possible to enter a state of sudden enlightenment.

Seeing Li Qing's slightly surprised expression, the city lord said with a smile: "This is a cushion woven with the branches and leaves of the Jade Pure Spirit Tree. It was made by a female cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage who is proficient in the rhythm of the soul. If you want it, you can take it away."

Unexpectedly, after coming in and saying nothing, the city lord actually asked to give him a generous gift, which made Li Qing a little flattered.

However, he still rejected the offer.

"No merit, no reward. I appreciate your kindness, senior!"

The mayor of Xuan Gu City laughed and said, "This is not a big gift. I, Ling Xu, have lived for nearly eight thousand years, so I still have this much wealth."

In this regard, Li Qing still did not accept this good intention.

Although this meditation cushion has some magical uses and can help to calm the mind, it is not something important to him.

Even if you really want it, you can make it yourself in the future. There's no need to owe anyone a favor for such a small thing.

Seeing this, the Lord of Lingxu City did not say much, but changed the subject and said: "My friend has just ascended to the spirit world, so I guess there are still many things that you haven't figured out, right?"

Hearing this, Li Qing nodded quickly and said, "Please give me some advice, Senior Lingxu."

Li Qing had great respect for this eight thousand year old master in the Nascent Soul stage. Even some things that were common sense in the other person's eyes were very important to him.

"Generally speaking, after a cultivator from the lower realm ascends to the spirit world, the first thing he needs to do is take the Dust Reduction Pill to wash away the aura of the lower realm and allow himself to merge with the heaven and earth of the spirit world as quickly as possible."

"Do you know why this is?"

This was the first time Li Qing had heard of this statement. Although he realized that he was somewhat incompatible with this spiritual world, it did not have much impact on his cultivation, so he never cared about it.

He thought it was because he had just arrived, and that after a while, this feeling of being out of place would naturally fade away. He didn't expect that there was something special about it.

"This has to start with the heavenly tribulation. My friend, you are able to cultivate to the Spirit Transformation Stage. You must have experienced the heavenly tribulation in the lower realm, right?" said the Lord of Lingxu City.

"Of course I have experienced it more than once. Could it be that in the spiritual world, apart from breaking through the realm, there will be other natural tribulations?" Li Qing asked in confusion.

The Lord of Lingxu City smiled mysteriously and said, "After arriving in the spirit world, you should be able to feel that the passage of your life span has become extremely slow, right?"

"Once you reach the Void Refining Stage, you will no longer have to worry about the day when your life span runs out, and you can truly achieve immortality!"

Hearing this, Li Qing's eyes showed a hint of surprise. Although he had already achieved immortality, he was still very surprised.

One can achieve immortality in this world just by reaching the Lianxu stage. Isn’t this a little too easy?

"Of course there are restrictions, otherwise the high-level monks in the spiritual world would have been gone long ago."

"When you reach the Spiritual Transformation Stage, you will need to survive a minor calamity every three hundred years. After you advance to the Void Refining Stage, you will have to survive a major calamity every three thousand years!"

"This kind of heavenly tribulation is more severe each time. If you haven't advanced to the next level after experiencing three or four times, you will most likely die in the heavenly tribulation."

as predicted!

Li Qing suddenly understood and realized that immortality was not such a simple thing and there were considerable restrictions.

"My friend, you encountered an accident during your ascension, and the mana you can mobilize in your body dropped to the Nascent Soul stage, so it is a blessing that you did not attract a heavenly calamity."

"Generally speaking, for cultivators like you who haven't taken enough Dust Reducing Pills to wash away the aura of the lower realm, the heavenly tribulations they encounter will be several times more severe and will last for a very long time."

"When you recover from your injuries, you will probably face your first heavenly tribulation."

The Lord of Lingxu City spoke to Li Qing earnestly.

"It seems that the accident I encountered during my ascension was really a lucky thing."

"Excuse me, senior, how can we obtain this Dust Repelling Pill? Is there any alchemist in the city who can make this pill?"

Li Qing immediately asked sincerely. He didn't want to face a natural disaster that was far beyond what he could handle after his magic power was restored.

The Lord of Lingxu City did not keep Li Qing in suspense and directly told him: "Hahaha, the recipe of the Dust-Reducing Pill is not a secret in the spirit world. Many alchemists know how to make this pill."

"There happens to be a fifth-rank alchemist in the city, his name is Old Man Jian. You can go visit him later. He has a mild temper and is easy to talk to."

This is really quite important information. Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Senior Lingxu, for your advice!"

"Speaking of which, the war in the city has just ended. Our human race has made great contributions in the war. We will receive rewards from the giants in a few days."

"Among them, perhaps we will be given a few places to enter the Tianguang Secret Realm for the first time. If you recover from your injuries and regain your magic power, I will give you a place."

Tianguang Secret Realm, Li Qing was about to ask what this place was, and the Lord of Lingxu City began to explain it to him.

"This is a secret realm that can only be entered by the four powerful tribes of Tonggu Continent. Every time it is opened, each tribe will send members of the Nascent Soul and Spiritualization stages to enter."

"In the Tianguang Secret Realm, there are many ancient ruins and sites from the ancient times. There are many opportunities there. Even the Blue Luan's nest was discovered there. Even though it has been abandoned, it is still quite amazing."

"In addition, there is also a Condensed Light Lake in the Tianguang Secret Realm. This lake draws the essence of the sun, moon, and starlight. Soaking in it once can change your bones, strengthen your physique, and even increase your potential for cultivation."

"Even if I don't get anything else, just soaking in Ningguang Lake once is a very beneficial thing, and it will be helpful for my future advancement to the Void Refining Stage."

Hearing about so many benefits, Li Qing's eyes lit up slightly, but he quickly rubbed his chin and asked:
"May I ask, Senior Lingxu, what are the casualties among those who have entered the Tianguang Secret Realm in the past?"

The Lord of Lingxu City did not expect that Li Qing would ask this. This cautious attitude actually broke some of his understandings of the ascenders.

According to legend, most of the cultivators who ascended from the lower realms are more brilliant than each other. They are true geniuses. It is no exaggeration to say that they are as powerful as a tiger.

Even though it is infinitely far away from the main continent of the human race, the Lord of Lingxu City knows the deeds of many ascenders, which are all extremely brilliant and dazzling.

"Well, as for casualties, in the past, when entering the Tianguang Secret Realm, the four powerful tribes, namely the Giant Spirit Tribe and the Dryad Tribe, would have fierce conflicts, but deaths were also rare."

"But if our race gets a spot this time, the situation might be a little different. After all, our race doesn't have a decent backer in this Tonggu Continent."

Having said that, the Lord of Lingxu City smiled self-deprecatingly.

Li Qing said solemnly: "Senior, you have protected the human race. This is extremely admirable. Such achievements are enough to be passed down through the ages."

“Hahaha, stop flattering me. It’s still a few years before the Tianguang Secret Realm opens. During this period, you should recover from your injuries as soon as possible, and then consider carefully whether to enter the secret realm.” To be honest, it was impossible for Li Qing not to be tempted by the Ningguang Lake. After all, it might help him advance to the Nascent Soul Stage in the future.

But even if his injuries recovered, he would only be at the initial stage of the Spiritual Transformation. In that Tianguang Secret Realm, he would most likely have to face other beings at the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation.

This matter really needs some careful consideration.

Just like that, Li Qing bid farewell to the Lord of Lingxu City. He landed from the City Lord's Mansion in the sky and came to a huge monument in the city.

This huge monument is very peculiar. Just by touching it with your hand or using your spiritual consciousness, you can sense a large amount of information.

All of these contents are tasks issued by the city. Some of them are issued by the City Lord's Mansion, and some are issued by other people. Most of the rewards are merit points, and a few are settled in the form of other spiritual objects.

[Collect Fire Spirit Essence from the fifth level of the Fire Realm. One Fire Spirit Essence can be exchanged for 20,000 Merit Points! ]

[Reward mission: Kill the human traitor Li Fengyuan, cultivation to the late stage of the Spiritualization, as long as the body is not found, 70,000 merit points! ]

[Collect any three fifth-level demon bird's natal feathers, each worth 20,000 merit points! ]

After reading all the way, Li Qing also had a practical understanding of the value conversion of merit points.

The difficult tasks mentioned above involving the Spirit Transformation Stage only reward tens of thousands of merit points, which is enough to show how precious their value is.

"It seems that the stall owner is offering me 30,000 merit points for the Lihuo Xuanyu, which leaves a lot of room for negotiation."

"Let's see if we can take it down with 10,000 merit points!"

It is very simple to accept these tasks. You just need to introduce your own breath into the token, and then press it on the task monument, and you can choose the task you want to accept.

And by then the contribution points will be entered into the token, which is very convenient.

In Xuan Ancient City, the token given upon entering the city is very important. It is not only a proof of identity, but also a key item to be used in transactions.

And if someone commits a serious crime in the city, the great formation in the city will record his or her aura, and it will be difficult to sneak into the city even if he or she changes his or her aura. Of course, people who have committed serious crimes will most likely find it difficult to leave alive.

As he watched along, Li Qing actually saw several equipment refining tasks.

However, the contribution points given were not many, only a few hundred points. They were all treasure refining tasks issued by several cultivators in the Jindan stage, and they wanted to ask the weapon refiner to take action.

Li Qing was not in a hurry to accept it. He silently wrote down several weapon refining tasks and then left the square where the task monument was located.

"Let's go find the alchemist named Jian first and ask him how many contribution points he needs to refine the Dust Reduction Pill."

Before leaving, the Lord of Lingxu City had already told Li Qing the man's location. This person was in a cave in the inner city.

The inner city of Xuan Ancient City has a quieter environment. You can even see dozens of artificial islands suspended in the air. Inside the suspended islands are caves that have been opened up for rent.

As soon as he approached the inner city, Li Qing felt a strong spiritual energy coming towards him.

“It should be almost comparable to the sixth-order spiritual vein. This city is really a Feng Shui treasure land.” Li Qing smacked his lips and looked at the suspended mountains and islands in turn.

Finally, he found the cave of the alchemist named Jian on a mountain that looked like a small upside-down bowl.

"I am Li Qing, and I am here to visit Master Jian. I don't know."

Before he could finish his words, the restrictions on the cave were lifted and a strong aroma of medicinal herbs rushed out.

When Li Qing smelled the scent, he knew he had found the right person.

He walked into the cave, and saw a few wisps of green smoke floating around the stone pillars. A thin old man with thick hair was facing an incense burner and silently reciting some scriptures.

Not long after, before Li Qing could speak, the old man turned his back to Li Qing and said:

"The meridians are broken. Are you here to connect them?"

"I see that you have abundant Qi and blood, and a strong physique. There just happens to be a tiger-wolf medicine that is suitable for you, called the Dragon-Tiger Meridian-Replenishing Pill. The effect of the medicine is surprisingly good, but it has a strong impact on the body. I think you should be able to withstand it."

Before Li Qing even told him the purpose of his visit, the old man could actually see the injuries in his body.

But even so, this person is only in the Spirit Transformation Stage after all. He has not reached the Void Refinement Stage, so it is still impossible to detect that the aura on his body has not merged with this world.

"Ahem, although my injury is also very serious, before reconnecting my meridians, I would like to ask Master Jian how many contribution points you need to refine a furnace of Dust Reduction Pills."

When he heard that Li Qing wanted the Dust Reducing Pill, Master Jian suddenly turned around, a strange look appeared in his cloudy eyes, he looked Li Qing up and down carefully, and then said:

"Oh?"

"What you want is the Dust Reduction Pill? Could it be that you are the Ascendant that has been talked about so much in the city?"

Li Qing laughed dryly and said, "If no other cultivators have ascended to the city recently, then it should be me."

Master Jian looked at Li Qing and said in amazement, "It's really rare. In this remote and dilapidated place, we can actually see an ascender. Even in the Tianyuan Continent, it would probably take thousands of years for one or two ascenders to appear, right?"

"Well, even if you are an ascender, I will not give you any discount when refining pills!"

"The Dust-Reducing Pill is a fifth-grade pill. Although the refining method is not difficult, it still has to follow the rules. This is the amount I need to refine a furnace of fifth-grade pills!"

As he spoke, Master Jian Dan raised five fingers.

Five thousand merit points! This alchemist is really shady! Li Qing thought to himself.

"If you don't have any elixirs for alchemy, I can provide them. I happen to have some elixirs for making Dust-Reducing Pills."

"But the price is another matter. Although it is not precious, it is not common either."

Master Jian Dan chuckled, his facial expression very kind.

Looking at this scene, Li Qing was silent for a while.

This person is indeed easy to talk to, but every word he says is about merit points!
