Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 899 Hydra

Xuan Ancient City has added another powerful person in the Void Refinement Stage, which is a very important matter.

Throughout the history of Xuan Ancient City, there were rarely times when there were many powerful people in the Nascent Soul Stage. That was something that could only happen in some prosperous years.

The appearance of every powerful person in the Void Refinement Stage is of great significance to Xuan Gu City. It means that the human race can at least continue to survive for the next few thousand years.

The whole city was filled with joy and carnival, cheering and congratulating Lord Sikong on his advancement, and even festive stickers and lanterns were hung everywhere in the city.

Taking advantage of such a joyous atmosphere, Jinfeng Trading Company naturally spent lavishly and held a grand banquet, inviting all the heroes and famous monks in the city to attend the banquet.

Li Qing was naturally invited as well. After thinking about it, he decided to attend the banquet with a gift.

"The rare heyday of Xuan Ancient City is about to come. With two powerful masters in the Void Refining Stage in charge of the city, many things can be relaxed in the future."

"Yes, the war between the Giant Spirits and the Tree Demons has narrowed down a lot and is now limited to those below the Fusion Stage. We should have some peace for a while."

"The city is protected by a formation, so there is no need to worry about other powerful people in the Void Refinement Stage attacking."

The successive good news made the whole city very happy.

The banquet was held at the Jinfeng Trading Company. When Li Qing entered, quite a few people had already arrived, including some familiar faces.

For example, the stall owner who sold the Lihuo Xuanyu to him, and the alchemist Jian who refined the Jiangchen Pill for him.

"Fan respectfully wishes Senior Sikong great success in his Taoism!"

People kept coming in and presenting gifts.

Seeing this, Li Qing also looked at Sikong Shangzhu, who was the most high-spirited person in the field. He had a smile on his face and was in a very good mood.

"Li Qing congratulates Senior Sikong on entering the Void Refining Stage. The human race will have another pillar in the future."

As he spoke, Li Qing took out a thumb-sized porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Sikong Shangzhu personally.

Seeing this, the latter took the miniature porcelain bottle and chuckled, "Hahaha, Brother Li, you are so polite. I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect that your cultivation has progressed so quickly. I think you are not far from the Void Refining Stage."

"Then I'll take advantage of Senior Sikong's good wishes." Li Qing chuckled and clasped his fists.

After Li Qing took his seat, Lord Sikong opened the mouth of the miniature porcelain bottle with very subtle movements. Soon his expression changed slightly. He quickly put the cork back on and carefully put away the seemingly inconspicuous miniature porcelain bottle, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

After confirming what was inside, Lord Sikong took a deep breath again, and it took him a long time to calm down his emotions.

This is actually a small bottle of Creation Source Liquid!

Originally, he thought it would be some kind of elixir with ordinary value and use, similar to the Jade Bone Pill that Li Qing had taken out before.

He never expected that the gift from Li Qing this time was so precious that it made him feel frightened!
However, the amount of these fortune source liquids is still quite scarce, far from enough to survive a major catastrophe.

If there were two more small bottles, it would be enough for a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage to get through his next great calamity without any worries.

Its value is self-evident, it is basically equivalent to a second life.

After all, not every cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage dares to say that he can definitely survive multiple great heavenly tribulations and advance to the next realm.

Although Lord Sikong, the merchant who had just entered the Void Refinement Stage, did not have to worry about the great calamity in the short term, he still had to consider long-term matters.

"This guy actually gave me a valuable gift!"

Lord Sikong murmured, and when he saw that most of the invited guests had arrived, he announced the start of the banquet.

It has to be said that the Jinfeng Company has a very strong foundation. The standard of the banquet this time was not low. A lot of valuable wines and various delicacies were brought out to entertain the guests.

Li Qing, who hadn't drunk spiritual wine for a long time, satisfied his craving for alcohol this time.

"This precious wine from the spirit world is really good. Does the favorable spiritual environment have such a great influence on the spirit wine?"

He smacked his lips, tasting the flavors of many kinds of spiritual medicines from the cup of spiritual brew, and even his own energy and blood seemed to be slightly enhanced.

Even his powerful body had gained a certain degree of enhancement. Other cultivators who were not proficient in physical practice were even more surprised and savored every sip of the spiritual wine carefully.

During the banquet, Li Qing just drank by himself and had no intention of making friends with others.

He was waiting for the personal invitation from Lord Sikong. The Fortune Source Liquid he had just given was just an inducement. He believed that the latter would definitely be tempted.

Sure enough, after three rounds of drinking, Lord Sikong asked a close confidant of his to pass a message to Li Qing.

"Senior Li, the merchant has something important to discuss with you. Please move upstairs."

Hearing this, Li Qing slowly put down his wine glass and chuckled, "Thank you for leading the way."

Following the guidance of this confidant, Li Qing walked all the way to the top floor of Jinfeng Commercial Building. The view here was very broad and one could see the scenery of half of Xuan Ancient City.

And Lord Sikong Shang had already been seated for a long time. After advancing to the Void Refining Stage, his demeanor had become much more transcendent. His whole temperament was restrained, yet contained a kind of harmonious aura, as if he had become one with the world around him.

"Greetings, Senior Sikong!" Li Qing clasped his fists towards Lord Sikong once again.

However, the latter waved his hand and said, "I cannot bear the title of senior. I just came out of retreat and don't know much about the outside world."

"Later, I made some inquiries and found out that Brother Li, you actually performed exceptionally well in the Tianguang Secret Realm and were able to overpower many geniuses."

"I didn't expect that even this Fortune Source Fluid is within your reach. This really shocks me."

Although he has advanced to the Void Refinement Stage, at this moment, Lord Sikong Shang did not put on the airs of a senior at all. He deeply understood how valuable Li Qing's performance was in the Tianguang Secret Realm, and that his future achievements would definitely surpass his.

Although he now looks like just an ordinary late-stage Jindan cultivator, in Sikong's eyes, he is definitely a dormant dragon in the abyss, waiting for just one opportunity to soar into the sky!
"Hahaha, Senior Sikong, thank you for your praise. It's just that I was a little luckier." Li Qing did not agree and behaved very appropriately.

In response, Sikong said directly: "Okay, I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. Fellow Daoist Li, you sent me such a precious gift, which really surprised and delighted me. Do you have something to ask for?"

"I'll be quick to ask, do you have any surplus of Creation Source Fluid?"

As he said this, Sikong cast a shielding ban on the entire attic, not letting any sound leak out.

"Haha, of course I do have some. If you want, I still have some left. It should be enough for you to ignore the coming of a great calamity." Li Qing did not keep the secret and made his attitude clear directly. He was here to make a deal.

As soon as these words came out, Sikong waved his hand and said heroically: "Then just tell me what you want to trade. As long as my Jinfeng Company has it, I will get it for you no matter what you say."

Seeing that the other party was so straightforward, Li Qing said, "I wonder if the merchant has the essence of a high-level snake demon? It would be best if it is above the fusion stage!"

Soon, the expression of Lord Sikong Shang gradually stiffened. He coughed lightly and his brows gradually furrowed.

"Hiss. The essence and blood of a high-level snake demon must be at the fusion stage. You really have given me a difficult problem." Li Qing wanted the essence and blood of the snake demon, naturally intending to practice the "Nine Snakes Heart Sutra" to add another guarantee to his strength.

This mental method is quite good. If it can be completely mastered, there will be an additional means of protection at the level of a true spirit in the future, and Li Qing's ability to protect his life will also be greatly enhanced.

However, it is indeed difficult to obtain the essence and blood of a high-level snake demon, and Li Qing also requires it to be at the fusion stage.

You know, generally speaking, the bloodlines of snake demons that can cultivate to the fusion stage are basically not bad, they are all powerful relics of ancient times.

But what Li Qing wanted was essence blood, not the real blood that was usually spilled. The difference between them was quite huge.

If you want to obtain the essence and blood of a monster, the simplest and quickest way is to kill it directly and then refine the essence and blood from its body.

After a long silence, Sikong Shangzhu slowly relaxed his brows and said:

"I'll be frank. The blood of the snake fairy in the fusion stage that you want is not in stock in my Jinfeng Trading Company."

"There are no snake demons in Tonggu Continent, unless there are snake demons born in some places where few people have ever set foot. But it is extremely difficult for such wild demons to reach the fusion stage."

"From what I know, I'm afraid even in the Giant King City, we may not be able to satisfy your request."

Hearing this, a hint of regret emerged in Li Qing's eyes. In fact, this was not beyond his expectations. After all, the requirements of the fusion stage were still a bit too high.

If it is in the Void Refinement Stage, then perhaps such a powerful snake monster might really appear in some wilderness.

"However, my Jinfeng Company also has branches in several other continents in the surrounding seas. I will try to collect relevant information for you. For this, you may have to wait for some time."

Li Qing smiled after hearing this.

As expected, Jinfeng Trading Company is indeed a transcontinental force. Although we don’t know what its background is, we expect it to be not too bad.

It is definitely beneficial and harmless to establish contact with such a business and maintain a good relationship with it.

"Then I will wait for the good news from the merchant. I will take my leave first!"

After saying that, with the farewell from Merchant Sikong, Li Qing left the territory of Jinfeng Trading Company and returned to his own cave.

"It is too difficult and unrealistic to collect the essence of a high-level snake demon alone."

"As expected, we still have to connect with forces like the Chamber of Commerce. This way, we can save a lot of trouble."

As he spoke, Li Qing slowly adjusted his breathing, sat cross-legged in the cave, and began to meditate on the "Nine Snakes Heart Sutra".

Getting started with this method requires visualization, constructing an image of a powerful snake demon in the sea of ​​consciousness, constantly materializing it, and finally imprinting this visualized image of the snake demon.

Naturally, the image of this snake demon should be as extraordinary as possible.

"Forge the God in your heart."

Li Qing began to try to practice. Although he had never seen what the True Spirit Hydra looked like, he was able to sketch out in his sea of ​​consciousness what a powerful Hydra in his imagination looked like.

Soon, a vivid shadow of a Hydra gradually emerged in his sea of ​​consciousness.

This snake has nine heads, and the pupils on each head are extremely cold, as if they were real.

As Li Qing continued to add strokes and ink to it, the nine-headed snake seemed to be coming alive, and even its golden vertical pupils contained vitality.

He was immersed in this process. Just when the Hydra was about to be completed, Li Qing suddenly realized that there seemed to be a trace of emotion in the eyes of the Hydra, a look of contempt and disdain.

That’s right, the nine-headed Hydra that he imagined was actually staring at him with its nine heads!
Almost in an instant, a pleasant melody was passively triggered.

Exquisite fairy music!

As this exquisite fairy music entered Li Qing's ears, the nine-headed snake in Li Qing's sea of ​​consciousness shook violently, and the emotions and vitality in its golden vertical pupils quickly dissipated.

Soon, only a dull image of the Hydra remained in his sea of ​​consciousness, far from the lifelike feeling just now.

"call!"

Li Qing broke out in a cold sweat and his body was trembling slightly. When the Hydra was looking at him just now, Li Qing could even feel a real pressure from its body.

It seemed as if the Hydra was about to come back to life from his sea of ​​consciousness!
"This is such an evil mind method, how can it be so weird?!"

Li Qing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his voice trembling.

He was somewhat afraid to continue practicing as he was frightened by the strange experience he had just had.

"If I hadn't had Linglong Xianyin protecting me, I would have been in big trouble."

"What exactly is this mental method about? If I can really visualize the nine-headed snake, will I still be myself? Will my body be directly occupied, or will I become a slave of the true nine-headed snake?"

Li Qing was now filled with fear. He was so frightened by the evilness of this mental method that he dared not continue practicing it.

"Why would Luohun Mountain give me such a mental method as a reward? I'm afraid there is something wrong with it."

"Also, since this mental method is an important inheritance of the Nine Snake Island, doesn't that mean that the entire Nine Snake Island will become a puppet of the True Spirit Nine-Headed Snake?"

Because according to the introduction of the mental method, the more extraordinary and powerful the type of snake demon you visualize is, the better!

Then, Li Qing, who knew the existence of the true spirit Hydra, would naturally visualize the image of the Hydra.

Soon, Li Qing realized that there might be some misunderstanding.

"No, Nine Snake Island has always worshipped the True Spirit Nine-Headed Snake and even regarded it as a belief. I'm afraid they would not choose it as the image to be visualized in their minds. That would be disrespectful."

"It seems that beings at the True Spirit level really cannot be touched at will."

As the saying goes, a master can only lead you to the door, but the practice is up to you. Li Qing only got this mental method, but he had no master to lead him to the door. He was absolutely unaware of many of the taboos and concerns contained in it.

And since the spirit of the Luohun Mountain weapon of the Jiutian Holy Sect can use this technique as a reward for the trial, it naturally means that this technique can be practiced and is by no means some evil secret method.

"It seems that I have taken the wrong path. The visualization for this introductory session should not be aimed at the True Spirit Hydra. Such a being cannot even be visualized casually."

“I’m afraid that whether it’s the people of Nine Snake Island or the disciples of Nine Heavens Holy Sect, they will be reminded before practicing this mental method, but I went on the road alone and almost went astray.”

As he spoke, Li Qing discovered that the image of the True Spirit Hydra still existed in his mind.
