Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 924 Mysterious Text
Ever since Li Qing became famous in Yujing City, he has been staying in Prince Ning's Mansion for a while to avoid the limelight.

But things went against his wishes, and he could not find peace even when hiding in Prince Ning's mansion.

During these days, Prince Ning's mansion was extremely lively. From time to time, ministers would come to visit with their daughters, and their purpose was naturally for Li Qing.

In just over ten days, Li Qing got to know all the unmarried noble ladies in Yujing City.

He was a little overwhelmed to deal with the eldest daughter of the Shangshu family, the granddaughter of the military general, the beloved daughter of the assistant minister, and so on.

However, after he strongly expressed that he had no intention of forming a Taoist partner with anyone else, he finally avoided the spotlight for a while.

It was almost late autumn, but the scenery in Prince Ning's Mansion was still like spring, and the rare and precious spiritual trees were laden with fruits.

Li Qing, who finally had some free time, took a walk in the garden of the mansion. He was thinking about saying goodbye to King Ning and returning to his cave.

Although the cultivation environment in Prince Ning's Mansion was very good, being the center of a sixth-tier spiritual vein, he felt somewhat uncomfortable staying there.

Just as Li Qing was thinking about how to start, a series of respectful voices from servants came from outside the garden:
"Greetings, His Highness Qinghe!"

"Well, no courtesy."

Li Qing looked in the direction of the voice and saw a princess who had left a deep impression on him in the previous palace competition. Although her cultivation was only at the Spirit Transformation Stage, she was proficient in formations.

Today, Princess Qinghe was wearing a simple and elegant light green dress. Her pretty face had a calm expression, and she was not moved by external things.

After seeing Li Qing, a hint of fluctuation appeared in her eyes.

"Greetings, His Highness Qinghe!" Li Qing clasped his fists.

"Your cultivation is higher than mine, so there is no need to be so polite. You can just call me Fellow Daoist Qinghe," Princess Qinghe said calmly.

In the Great Yu Kingdom, although the status of the royal family is honorable, strength is still respected after all. Cultivators do not need to kneel and salute members of the royal family. They only need to be divided into generations according to the strength of their cultivation.

Li Qing naturally knew this a long time ago, but he still respectfully addressed the other party as Her Royal Highness the Princess, in order to appear more distant. He did not want to have too close a relationship with these members of the royal family.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Princess Qinghe said, "Wait, I came here specifically to see you."

Li Qing paused, looking puzzled: "What's the matter, Your Highness?"

Princess Qinghe took out a letter from her body and handed it to Li Qing, saying:

"Yesterday I went to my teacher's place, and a one-eyed man asked me to give you this letter. Promise."

Xia Wushuang?
Li Qing was slightly stunned, not knowing what was going on. He took the spiritual letter and the information on it quickly appeared.

"Brother Li, please help me! I have been imprisoned by a weird old man in Xiliang Mountain in Yujing City and have been tortured all day long!"

"This old man is extremely arrogant and doesn't take Prince Ning seriously at all. Tell Prince Ning about this and ask him to bring people to raid this old man's house! And rescue me at the same time."

Looking at the contents of the letter, Li Qing's mouth twitched, thinking that the old man Xia Wushuang mentioned should be Princess Qinghe's teacher.

"Ahem, Fellow Daoist Qinghe, may I ask who your master is?"

"My friend seems to be trapped there. What happened?"

Princess Qinghe said truthfully: "Master Ying, but I am only the teacher's nominal disciple, and I cannot call him master yet."

"As for your friend, although he has been locked up, his life is not in danger. The teacher wants to dig out some things related to the formation from him. The formation he learned has a great heritage."

Hearing this, Li Qing frowned slightly.

Ying Fuzi.
He had no impression of this name, but since he could become Princess Qinghe's teacher, and even accepted her as a registered disciple, he should not be an ordinary person.

"Thank you, Princess, for coming here in person. I just wonder what your teacher will do if my friend doesn't tell you the origin of the formation he learned?" Li Qing asked tentatively.

Princess Qinghe shook her head and said, "In fact, the teacher wanted to accept him as a direct disciple in exchange for the inheritance of the formation he learned, but this person spoke wildly, claiming that the teacher was not qualified to teach him the formation, and also said something like a rustic and vulgar technique, which annoyed the teacher."

After hearing this, Li Qing was silent for a while. He thought about it and decided to leave it alone for the time being.

It would be useless for such a highly skilled formation master to go there. It would be better to let the other party vent his anger on Xia Wushuang, and then he will naturally let him out.

"Thank you for the message, Your Highness!"

Princess Qinghe smiled, which was rare for her. She said, "No need to thank me. I came here not only to deliver a letter, but also to ask you to help me test the Inverted Star Formation!"

"I have been in seclusion for a while and have made some new changes to this formation. You will never be able to break it so easily this time!"

When talking about formations, Her Royal Highness the Princess became more talkative.

After listening to this, Li Qing smiled bitterly and finally agreed.

"Then please enlighten me!"

After a while, in the backyard of Prince Ning's Mansion.

Princess Qinghe looked at the inverted star array that was cut open by Li Qing's sword and revealed a thoughtful look.

This time she was in charge personally, and she brought the power of the formation to its extreme, but she still couldn't block Li Qing's sword.

It was even more cleanly broken than before, which frightened her and made her think that her changes had failed.

Li Qing slowly put away the Immortal-Slaying Sword and said, "Fellow Daoist Qinghe, don't be discouraged. Few people in the Void Refining Stage could block my sword head-on."

What he meant was that this fifth-order formation was already quite impressive, and there was no need to fight it to the death.

After thinking for a while, Princess Qinghe nodded again, put away the formation plate and several other broken formation flags, and left Prince Ning's Mansion without saying anything.

Li Qing also went to find King Ning on the pretext of finding out about Master Ying.

In the study room of the mansion, Prince Ning was flipping through an ancient letter. After listening to Li Qing's retelling, he couldn't help but laugh.

"In front of Master Ying, I really can't get any face."

"He is the Grand Tutor of the Nation. The protective formation in the Imperial Palace and the teleportation formations in the counties of the Great Yu Nation were all designed by him. He dares not show favor to even His Majesty."

"Unless the late Emperor Taizu comes forward in person, no one can persuade Master Ying."

After hearing these words, Li Qing was shocked.

Master Ying, one of the founding heroes of the Great Yu Kingdom, had fought for the world with Emperor Taizu. His cultivation was in the middle stage of the fusion stage, and his attainments in formations were unmatched in the entire Great Yu Kingdom. He was a genuine eighth-level formation master, and his skills were truly ingenious and he had taken advantage of the good fortune of heaven and earth.

Li Qing was fascinated. The most important part of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation he wanted to refine in the future was the formation diagram.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword and the Immortal-Trapping Sword will surely grow into all-powerful spiritual treasures in the future. Although there is no sign of the remaining two killing swords yet, Li Qing also plans to refine them according to the level of all-powerful spiritual treasures.

As the quality of the four killing swords improves, the sword formation diagram that supports them will naturally have to improve as well, otherwise it will not be able to support the four killing swords.

Therefore, he estimated that his future sword formation diagram would probably have to be engraved with an eighth-level formation.

However, eighth-level formation masters are extremely rare in the entire spiritual world.

Not to mention the Great Yu Kingdom, even in any other place, he would be treated as a guest of honor.

He didn't expect that Xia Wushuang would actually provoke such an extremely powerful person. He really asked for trouble.

Li Qing immediately gave up the idea of ​​rescuing Xia Wushuang and let him fend for himself.

He was thinking about whether he could let the other party take action once so that he could design a basic formation of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation for himself.

However, this was just a thought. If Li Qing asked a formation master like this to take action, even if he emptied his own family fortune, he would not be able to make the other party raise an eyebrow.

Then, Li Qing submitted his resignation to King Ning and planned to return to his cave to practice.

In response, King Ning did not stop him, but let him leave happily, and also said that he could come anytime in the future.

"Thank you, Senior King Ning. I will take my leave now!"

"Well, no matter what happens in Yujing City, you can come to me." King Ning picked up the ancient notebook again and began to read it.

After bidding farewell to King Ning, Li Qing returned to his cave.

"Now that we have obtained the Black Iron Token, we can wait for the Xuantian Temple to open step by step."

"I just don't know what we can gain. By then, I'm afraid it will be necessary for strong people in the fusion stage to enter."

Li Qing took out the small black iron shield and whispered to himself.

Afterwards, he put away the black iron token and began to meditate in the cave.

Now that he has almost mastered the Taoism, there are three main areas for improvement.

"First, continue to practice diligently and swallow all the Mu Yuan jujubes on your body to improve your cultivation."

Li Qing did not choose this direction. Although swallowing the remaining Muyuan dates on his body could make his magic power stronger, it could not bring any substantial help to his cultivation.

Now he is still quite a long way from the middle stage of Refining Void. Even with the help of Five Yuan Zao, it is impossible for him to break through to the middle stage of Refining Void in a short time.

Moreover, if one wants to maximize the medicinal effect of the Wuyuan Dates, it would be best to find an alchemist with superb alchemy skills to make it into pills, so that it can exert greater medicinal power.

"I heard that some alchemists with extraordinary skills have some secret recipes that can use five five-yuan dates as the main medicine at the same time, and then refine a furnace of five-element medicine, which has amazing effects when taken."

"I wonder if there is such an alchemy master in Yujing City."

The remaining two directions for improvement are weapon refining and the "Daojie Wuji Jing" which he created.

The chapter on cultivation techniques in "Daojie Wuji Jing" was still stagnant at the Nascent Soul level, but now he had made a lot of progress and could continue to create new techniques.

But Li Qing did not plan to do so. Now that he was practicing the "Red Huang Burning Heaven Art" quite smoothly, he was not in a hurry to switch to practicing the Taoist method he created.

Therefore, he set his sights on the art of weapon refining.

"I heard that there are some amazing spiritual materials in Xuantian Temple, and even some rare materials from the beginning of the world. If we can get some, maybe we can refine the third killing sword."

After stroking his chin, Li Qing decided to work harder on his weapon-refining skills.

Today, his weapon refining skills are actually quite amazing. Refining earth-grade spiritual treasures is no longer a difficult task for him. As long as there are suitable spiritual materials, he can refine them.

However, he planned to refine the next two killing swords according to the level of Tongtian Lingbao, which not only required extremely precious spiritual materials, but also extremely advanced refining skills.

Li Qing, knowing that he was somewhat lacking, slowly closed his eyes and tried to comprehend the notes and some secret books he had obtained from a basement in the Tianguang Secret Realm.

There were a lot of words in these secret books that even he couldn't understand. Apart from the refining technique of turning weapons into silk, he gained nothing.

This time when he had some free time, he decided to study these texts carefully.

In Yujing City, there are many places where you can get information, such as the original Chengshun Chamber of Commerce, and the Tianji Tower opened by some Feng Shui masters.

Li Qing shuffled the order of the texts that he could not understand, and then extracted some paragraphs from them. He took them to the places where intelligence was sold to ask if there was anyone who could recognize these texts.

Hard work pays off. After about ten days, Li Qing finally found information about these mysterious texts in a place called Xuanji Pavilion.

"Senior, the characters you are asking about should be the common characters of the Xuanming Realm."

The Dark World.
Hearing this, Li Qing narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is the Xuanming Realm also a spiritual world?"

"Yes, the Xuanming Realm is very far away from our world, but there were some lost small worlds that fell into the void outside our world. But this happened a long time ago, and the age can no longer be verified."

"As for the characters of the Mysterious World, if you want to master them, you can go to the Imperial Academy in Yujing City. There are scholars who specialize in studying various languages, and you should be able to gain something."

Hearing this, Li Qing nodded, left after leaving the reward.

The Taishu Academy in Yujing City is the highest institution of learning in the entire Dayu Kingdom, a place dedicated to teaching cultivation.

However, most of the people who study and practice in such places are the younger generation, and their cultivation level is at most around the Nascent Soul stage or the Spirit Transformation stage.

"If you want to go to the Imperial Academy, you will have to ask King Ning for help."

Li Qing sighed lightly. He didn't expect that he would have to visit Prince Ning again just after leaving his mansion for such a short time.

But there was no other way. For the sake of the weapon refining techniques that might be recorded in it, Li Qing decided to ask King Ning for help.

As a prince, it shouldn't be difficult to get him into the Imperial Academy.
