Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 857: The Miraculous Medicine Incident
After a detailed conversation, Li Qing finally cut the price of refining a furnace of Dust-Reducing Pill to 13,000 merit points, of course, including the price of the elixir.

Originally, the price offered by old man Jian was 18,000 points, which shocked Li Qing so much that he almost ran away.

"Haha, you are really good at bargaining, kid. Over the years, no one has been able to get a discount on alchemy from me. You really are a pioneer." Old man Jian said with a little dissatisfaction.

Li Qing continued in a gentle voice: "Master Jian, what you said is wrong. You should know that the spiritual medicine used to refine the Dust-Reducing Pill has a niche purpose. Even if you keep those spiritual medicines in your hands, I'm afraid they won't be of much use."

"It may take tens of thousands of years for an Ascendant to appear in Tonggu Continent. Rather than letting it rot in my hands, I'd rather use it to trade with me and make the best use of it."

Old Man Jian didn't complain any more. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, do you want to start the furnace now?"

Hearing this, Li Qing smiled bitterly and said, "I would like to start the furnace now, but I just arrived and I don't have many merit points. Let's wait until I have enough merit points."

"Hmph, I'll forgive you for not keeping me here any longer. Please do as you please." Old man Jian turned around and ignored Li Qing.

Since the order to expel him had been issued, Li Qing naturally left Old Man Jian's cave with great tact.

He flew all the way out of the suspended island mountain. On the way, he found someone and asked about the price of renting a cave here. He didn't expect that it would cost fifteen thousand merit points a year!

After learning about this, Li Qing opened his mouth, and finally left the place in shame.

"You really need merit points everywhere, but it makes me so worried."

Li Qing sighed, and for the first time in a long time he felt the embarrassment he had when he first stepped into the world of cultivating immortals. He wished he could break a spirit stone into two pieces to use.

After wandering around the city, Li Qing thought seriously for a long time and decided to sell some of his not-so-useful things in exchange for success points.

If you want to set up a stall in the markets and sell items, you also need to hand over merit points to the city, but it is not expensive, only a few merit points a day.

In order to get start-up capital, Li Qing once again came to the stone tablet in the city to accept tasks. He took on all the refining tasks in one go.

For him, refining equipment is the simplest and least dangerous task. Other tasks like collecting spiritual objects or offering a bounty on people's heads are more or less risky.

However, it is different with refining equipment. The task can be completed in the city without having to spend any time or energy.

Most of these refining commissions come from cultivators in the Jindan and Yuanying stages. Some are to repair some rare treasures, and some are to refine new magical weapons. The requirements are clearly stated.

In this way, Li Qing visited everywhere in the city and went directly to the homes of those monks who issued commissions to refine treasures.

It is a bit sad to see a powerful man who was once invincible in the human world fall to this state.

Fortunately, refining equipment was not a difficult task for Li Qing. He completed the task easily shortly after arriving at the door.

The eyes of those who issued the commissions lit up when they saw the finished product submitted by Li Qing.

"You're amazing! When did Xuan Gu City have a skilled weapon refiner like you? With your weapon refining skills, why don't you go to Juling King City and become a specialized weapon refiner for the Juling tribe?"

Hearing this, Li Qing was stunned for a long while. He asked in confusion: "What? The Giant Spirits will hire us humans as weapon refiners?"

"Don't you know? The Giant Spirits attach great importance to our human alchemists, formation masters, weapon refiners, etc., especially those with outstanding skills, who will be invited to practice in the royal city."

"Over the years, many of our human race's cultivators with superb cultivation skills have been poached."

Silence. After hearing this, Li Qing fell silent. After a long time, he collected the contribution points for this equipment refining commission and then said goodbye and left.

No one had told him these things before, but he couldn't blame others, and he didn't tell anyone that he was a weapon refiner.

"Alas, I'm a newcomer and I don't know anything. Otherwise, how could I have taken so many detours!" Li Qing shook his head and finally decided to stay in the human city for a while.

After all, the Lord of Xu Ling City had previously promised to give him a place to enter the Tianguang Secret Realm, so he still cared a lot about the opportunity at Ningguang Lake.

After walking around the city and refining equipment repeatedly, Li Qing finally accumulated 2,800 merit points!

He has completed almost all the equipment refining commissions published in the stone tablet, and it is estimated that there will be no new tasks in the short term.

At this point, he finally stopped and immediately rented a cave on a suspended mountain island in the city for a period of one year. Most of the contribution points he had saved with great difficulty were gone in an instant.

"Well, it's not bad. At least I have a place to stay and don't have to run around anymore."

After entering the cave, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it was a bit cramped compared to the independent spiritual peak of Lingyun Sect in the human world, it was superior in that the spiritual energy was rich. The spiritual energy in the cave was even faintly misty. It could only be said that it was worthy of being a fifth-grade, top-grade spiritual vein.

Feeling the rich spiritual energy around him, Li Qing felt much more relaxed.

He set up a strict ban inside and outside the cave, and then took a short rest to adjust his mental state to its peak.

Then, he opened his storage bag and counted some of the things he had looted in the netherworld.

"First, let's take the corpse of this fifth-level Huang Daxian. The spirituality of its bones has not dissipated, so it shouldn't be a problem to use it to refine a simple spiritual treasure."

"As for the fur and flesh, we can dismantle them and sell them directly. There should be talisman masters and body cultivators who will buy them."

"The second thing is some magical skills. I got some scattered five-element skills from the Five-element Spirit Saint. I don't know if I can sell them."

After careful calculation, Li Qing felt that if he sold the things he currently had, he could probably get tens of thousands of merits.

Especially for the spiritual treasures refined with the real bones of Wong Tai Sin, the price should not be low, but in the end it depends on the quality of the spiritual treasure after refining!
"I originally wanted to go to the Polar Night World to see if I could travel between the two worlds normally, but right now the city is shrouded in a powerful and unpredictable formation. Someone might notice my unusual whereabouts, so I'd better not travel back recently."

Li Qing would naturally not forget that the City Lord's Mansion's guards had found his location with incredible accuracy.

Finally, he took the pocket-sized Tianmiao Immortal Palace in his hands.

The next moment, his figure floated and he instantly entered the fairy palace.

Li Qing's mind moved slightly, and the situation in the entire fairy palace appeared in his mind.

Jiuer built a nest among several medicinal fields and mountains, and was still sleeping soundly, simply unmoved by thunder.

"Hey, these spiritual medicines are growing so fast, is it because we have arrived in the spiritual world?" Soon, Li Qing saw that the spiritual medicines planted in several medicine gardens had grown a lot taller and were extremely vigorous.

"Yes, this spiritual world is indeed a treasure land. There is a reason why the avenue is so prosperous."

"I have only been in this world for such a short time, and these spiritual medicines that grow very slowly in the lower world are actually almost a hundred years old!"

Li Qing was deeply surprised by this. He thought it was a little unbelievable. Although one rotation of the sun and the moon in the spiritual world was indeed equivalent to several days in the lower world, it was impossible for a creature to grow so fast.

"If the environment in the spirit world is like this, then there are so many high-grade spiritual medicines in this world that they are as worthless as grass?"

Li Qing frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

"Could it be because of this Immortal Mansion?"

He has only now cultivated the third level of Tongbao Jue and has not yet completely mastered the Tianmiao Immortal Mansion. Li Qing did not dare to make a decision whether this was the reason.

Then, Li Qing realized that Jiuer did not seem to be simply sleeping. Although her breath was long and steady, she was undergoing a transformation!

"Hiss, she has begun to transform. It seems that she has gained a lot of benefits in the spiritual world."

Afterwards, Li Qing had an idea and appeared in another medicinal field, where Qilin Purple Blood Ginseng was planted.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Today, these Qilin purple-blood ginseng have grown into the appearance of small ginseng and are no longer in their original ginseng beard state.

"Although there are some changes, they are far slower than the growth rate of other spiritual herbs. Is it because they have not been planted for a long time?"

I'm afraid not!
Li Qing came to the bottom of Yaotian Mountain again. He opened a beehive here. The fire jade beehive from the lower world was placed here by him.

Today, the Fire Jade Bee Queen has reached the level of a third-order spirit insect. It is still some distance away from the fourth-order level, but not too far.

"Although the Fire Jade Queen Bee has also undergone some changes in the spirit world, she has not undergone the transformation that Jiuer has."

"The same is true for the few golden silkworms we had back then. There hasn't been much change."

After confirming the situation of all the spiritual medicines and spiritual insects in the Tianmiao Immortal Mansion, Li Qing's mind started to work rapidly, and he seemed to know something.

"The reason why the spiritual insects and spiritual medicines have undergone such changes is probably not due to the Tianmiao Immortal Mansion, but the problem of their source."

"Whether it's the spiritual medicine in the medicine field or Jiu'er, they have one thing in common, they all come from the polar night world!"

"Yes, the speed of time in the polar night world is three times that of the human world, and seven days in the human world is equivalent to one day in the spirit world!"

"Calculated this way, the difference in the speed of time between the spirit world and the polar night world is about twenty-one times."

Li Qing made a bold judgment. He guessed that the ancient species of elixir brought from the polar night world to the spiritual world would mature at twenty times the rate!

In other words, as long as you grow it for ten years, it will be equivalent to a 200-year-old elixir!
In less than fifty years, all the spiritual medicines in his medicine garden will become extremely rare thousand-year-old spiritual medicines!

This guess made Li Qing's heart beat rapidly. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"Yes, in the past, when things from the Midnight World were brought to the human world, some changes would occur. However, because the environment of the lower world is not very prosperous and the flow of time is only three times faster, the changes are not that big and difficult to detect."

"But whether this guess is correct or not, we will have to wait for a few more years to confirm it."

"If these spiritual herbs can still grow at such an exaggerated rate, then my guess should be almost correct."

As soon as he thought of this, Li Qing seemed to remember something and quickly came to the space under several medicinal field mountains.

This is where he planted the blood lotus. Now the blood pool is empty again, but as Li Qing expected, the blood lotus has changed a lot. The entire underground space is occupied by lotus petals, and a huge blood-colored lotus seat is situated at the bottom.

However, due to the lack of blood, this enchanting blood lotus looked somewhat listless. It was extremely craving for blood, all kinds of blood.

Seeing this scene, Li Qing was silent for a long time. Finally, he opened up the space here a little bigger, and then set up several layers of restrictions to seal off the place.

"The most urgent task is to reconnect the meridians in my body first, then restore my cultivation and mana, and finally make full use of the fifth-level yellow-skinned creature to exchange for enough merit points so that old man Jian can refine the Dust-Reducing Pill for me."

"After everything settles down, we will think of ways to make good use of the resources of the Polar Night World."

Li Qing had never thought that after arriving in the spiritual world, the polar night world would still be so valuable to him, even more so than when he was in the lower world.

The changes that this difference in the speed of time flow has brought to the ancient species of spiritual medicine alone would probably be enough to benefit him for the rest of his life.

If he would not be monitored by the formation in the city, he would have wanted to travel to the Polar Night World now, turn the entire Polar Night World upside down, collect all the ancient spirit seeds and bring them to the spirit world to plant them!
After leaving Tianmiao Immortal Mansion, Li Qing put it away properly and then began to recover from his injuries.

Just like that, for the next twenty days or so, Li Qing stayed in the cave and never went out.

Finally, the meridians in the body were only one step away from being successfully connected, but Li Qing had to hold it back.

He was worried that once his magic power recovered to the level of the Spirit Transformation Stage, it would directly bring about a heavenly calamity.

Although he really wanted to see what a heavenly tribulation that was several times more powerful would be like, considering the possible danger of death, he gave up and only allowed his magic power to remain at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

Just as Li Qing took out the yellow skin and was about to disassemble it and then refine it into a spiritual treasure, another idea came to him.

"If I put some spiritual medicine seeds in the Polar Night World, let the natural environment there erode them, and then bring them back after a period of time, will those spiritual medicine seeds also be assimilated by the natural environment of the Polar Night World?"

Once this idea came up, it was unstoppable. Li Qing really felt that there was great potential in this matter.

And even if it fails, at most the loss would be some medicinal seeds, which is not a big loss.

Compared to spiritual medicines of high age, spiritual seeds are not very valuable and can be easily collected in large quantities.

Thinking of this, Li Qing decided to turn around and see if there were any spirit seeds for sale in the city.

Although it is a small human town on the border, it is still in the spiritual world after all, so there should be plenty of rare spiritual medicine seeds.
