Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 969 True Spirit Egg
With the help of the lightning lava from the Eye of Heavenly Punishment to infuse his body, Li Qing refined his physical body externally and forged his spiritual roots internally. With these two approaches, his aura suddenly rose.

For a moment, the fog in the Thunder Pool surged violently, even forming a vortex above Li Qing's head, and thunder continued to strike all around.

During this domineering practice, the illusory purple spiritual root in Li Qing's body quickly became solid.

The moment the spiritual root was stabilized, the rich thunder-attributed spiritual energy in the thunder pool suddenly erupted and madly poured into Li Qing's body.

The seventh spiritual root is completed!
This is crazy. When ordinary people break through the Void Refining Stage, the most they can do is to complete their own five elements of spiritual roots. Very few people can complete the alien spiritual roots as well.

But by chance, Li Qing was able to implant two special spiritual roots in himself during the Void Refining Stage. Now his spiritual root aptitude is amazing.

With the rich spiritual energy of thunder pouring into his body, Li Qing's cultivation level easily broke through to the late stage of refining emptiness. The bottleneck that was originally going to take several years to polish was now broken through like paper.

boom!
When the surging tide of spiritual energy stagnated, Li Qing's body finally completed the initial tempering. He used the lightning lava in the Eye of Heavenly Punishment to temper his body to practice the "Golden Saint Body", and now he has achieved the initial entry.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment where he was was almost dry. The entire pool of thunder magma was completely absorbed by him, which gave him his seventh spiritual root and a terrifying physical body.

"Ok?"

Before Li Qing had time to experience his own strength, his attention was attracted by a small golden puddle at the bottom of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

“Thunder Tribulation Fluid! There really is such a heaven-defying treasure hidden inside!”

His eyes shone with infinite light. He took a step forward, took out a jade crystal porcelain bottle, and filled the small pool of thunder liquid into it.

"With this precious liquid, I don't even need to spend time consolidating my realm and nurturing my newly formed lightning spirit roots. My body can also be completely repaired at the same time."

As he spoke, he poured all the small pool of thunder liquid into the jade crystal porcelain bottle. The amount was very small, only about half a bottle.

But even the value of this amount of thunder tribulation liquid is quite astonishing. If it were put up for auction, it could easily be sold at a high price close to one million spirit stones.

Of course, no one would be foolish enough to put such a rare treasure up for auction. For any cultivator, it is not for sale!
After collecting the thunder liquid, Li Qing immediately prepared to take a sip.

"Gulu!"

The thunder tribulation liquid has a slightly astringent taste, and there is a numbing feeling in the mouth after taking it. After the thunder tribulation liquid flows into the stomach, a warm feeling surges up, and the injuries suffered from body training in the pool are recovered rapidly.

The thunder spirit root that had just formed in his body quickly became stable and solid. The thunder tribulation liquid was helping him to nourish his thunder spirit root, which was quite magical.

Before he could fully experience the magic of the Thunder Tribulation Liquid, he suddenly felt a sense of danger in his heart.

boom!
A flash of lightning suddenly exploded at the top of the green stone pillar behind him, and a huge bird egg half a person's height was pressed down.

Li Qing reacted incredibly quickly, his figure turned into a flash of lightning, and in an instant he arrived at the periphery of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

This bird egg is quite extraordinary. It is dark purple all over and its surface is covered with runes.

The moment it appeared, Li Qing sensed that the lightning factors in the surrounding heaven and earth were boiling and agitated.

"What kind of demon bird's egg is this? Its affinity with lightning is so high that even my newly formed lightning spirit root is far inferior to it!"

"It's much better than the thunder dragon I killed before. This one is just an unborn bird egg."

Li Qing's expression suddenly became solemn. He kept looking at the bird egg that was more than half a person's height, and his spiritual awareness spread out.

However, there was a layer of restriction on the shell of this mysterious bird egg. When his spiritual consciousness just touched the eggshell, the bright purple runes on its surface trembled slightly, directly bouncing his spiritual consciousness away.

The dark purple bird eggs slowly rotated inside the Eye of Heavenly Punishment. Lightning bolts kept striking from the sky, but they did not cause any damage to the eggs. Instead, they were absorbed by the Eye.

Li Qing showed a look of surprise. He opened his mouth and seemed to understand what these bluestone pillars of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment were used for.

"Several tribes of thunderbirds are actually hatching a mysterious egg together, using the power of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment in the Thunder Pond!"

"Could this be a bird egg of a Thunder Spirit? Otherwise, how could it require such a huge thunder force to hatch?!"

As soon as this guess came out, he could almost conclude that this was definitely an egg of a thunder spirit, because an ordinary demon egg would have burst long ago after absorbing so much thunder power!

When he thought of this, Li Qing's eyes flashed with intense heat, and he had completely forgotten what he had said before entering the Thunder Pool.

No matter how they were not interested in the plans of the thunderbird tribes, all of it was in vain in front of such an egg of the Thunder Spirit. No one in the world could resist the temptation of such a divine object.

Li Qing stepped forward and stretched out his hand, wanting to take the egg of the Thunder Dao True Spirit away directly.

But the next moment, a terrifying lightning exploded from the eggshell, and the restriction on it was instantly triggered.

Boom!

Even Li Qing's strong body, which had just been tempered, could not withstand it. His entire right arm was charred and cracked, and he was almost unconscious.

Through the lightning, Li Qing saw a fully grown young Peng lying quietly inside the eggshell.

"Has the True Spirit Thunder Peng and the Thunder Birds of the tribe gone mad? They actually got such a peerless divine egg. If the news gets out, it will probably lead to the extinction of the tribe. Even if there are powerful Mahayana masters in the tribe, they won't be able to protect themselves, right?"

That’s right, this is an egg laid by a Lei Peng!
Once hatched, it is equivalent to obtaining a young true spirit.

Li Qing was almost losing his mind. It was difficult for him to remain calm in front of this egg, and his heart began to beat rapidly.

"It's a bit troublesome. The outer layer of restrictions is very scary and cannot be touched at all. If you get close to a few feet away, you will be counterattacked by these thunder restrictions."

"No wonder so many Eyes of Heavenly Punishment dried up. It turns out that they were all absorbed by this Thunder Peng Egg."

"The only question is why the Lei Peng inside has already taken shape, but there is no movement."

While talking to himself, he was thinking about how to take the Thunder Peng egg away.

The storage bag and the race bag were simply unable to hold it. The restrictions placed on them made the Thunder Peng egg seem to be rooted in the thunder pool.

However, it would take an extremely long time to break the ban, and he would not have enough time to slowly break it. Once the battle above the thunder pool was over, it would be quite troublesome.

"Let's try to see if we can get this Thunder Peng egg to recognize its master first."

As he spoke, Li Qing took out the Immortal-Slaying Sword, cut his palm, and drew out a stream of blood close to the Thunder Peng egg.

As expected, anything that came within a few feet of him would be counterattacked by the restriction, and his blood and essence would instantly dissolve.

Next, he tried all the methods he knew to recognize the master, but none of them worked.

As time went by, Li Qing became more and more impatient.

"If it really doesn't work, we can only move this egg away as well."

As he spoke, a silver light flashed in Li Qing's eyes, and he began to activate the strange spatial light in his body.

"It is not possible to carry out a large transfer of foreign objects with the help of the spatial light and Kunpeng's divine power alone. We have to use another spatial treasure to carry it away together with the foreign objects."

"It would be great if there was a treasure from the cave."

When talking about the treasure of the cave, Li Qing suddenly came to his senses and took out a black stone from his storage bag. The boundary stone!

This is the treasure he obtained in the Xuantian Immortal Palace. The boundary stone has two uses. One is to open up an independent small space and use the boundary stone as a base to anchor the spatial coordinates, so that the independent small space can be stabilized.

Many independent secret realms are opened up with boundary stones. Space opened up without boundary stones is difficult to stabilize, and may collapse due to space turbulence after thousands of years.

Another use is to refine the treasures of the cave, which can only be done by a refiner with powerful refining skills.

After Li Qing obtained the boundary stone, he planned to refine it into a treasure of the cave heaven when he became stronger in the future.

"We can only try our best. This is the only way to take the Thunder Peng Egg away!"

Li Qing's eyes became extremely determined. He didn't know whether he could succeed. All this was just his idea.

With the help of the magical light of space and Kunpeng's divine power, he can transfer himself through space, making it difficult for anyone to detect his actions.

The only problem with doing this is that he can only move himself away, which is meaningless as he cannot take the Thunder Peng Egg with him.

Therefore, he had to use the power of the boundary stone here to incorporate this space into the boundary stone. Then he would activate the magical light of space and Kunpeng's divine power to leave the Thunder Pool first.

boom!
With this thought in mind, Li Qing pressed the boundary stone in his hand directly towards the Eye of Heavenly Punishment below without hesitation.

Mana power surged, and the boundary stone began to expand, instantly encompassing the entire Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

Then, he mobilized the Kunpeng divine power in his body and injected it into the strange light in space.

The next moment, the entire Thunder Pool was flashing with brilliant silver light, and the space was violently distorted.

hum!
In an instant, even the large amount of thunder in the thunder pool disappeared.

This strong fluctuation immediately attracted the attention of countless people. Several thunderbirds that had been patrolling the thunder pool became furious and immediately flew towards the place where the space had just been distorted.

A flash of lightning passed by, and several thunderbirds came to the place where Li Qing had just performed the space transfer.

There was a dead silence.

"There are a total of thirty-six Eyes of Heavenly Punishment in the Thunder Pond. If I remember correctly, there should be one Eye of Heavenly Punishment here as well, right?"

"It shouldn't be like this. Why did the Eye of Heavenly Punishment disappear and be replaced by such a huge pit?"

"Even the lightning pillar disappeared. What happened?"

The battle in the sky was drawing to an end. The team led by the Holy Whale Pangbo was ultimately unable to defeat the combined forces of several tribes of thunderbirds.

With the seventh-level thunderbird freeing up its hands, the Golden Toad was ultimately unable to refine the seventh-level lightning falcon in its belly.

The Bird King Qianyu also showed a strength worthy of his title. He was invincible near this forbidden area. Even Pangbo could not suppress him. Instead, he was beaten back repeatedly.

When several tribes of thunderbirds were preparing to take advantage of the situation to pursue, a bright silver light suddenly flashed in the thunder pool below.

Sensing this spatial fluctuation, the expressions of several thunderbirds in the fusion stage changed drastically.

"What happened in the thunder pool?"

"Oh no! Could it be that a thief has sneaked into the minefield?"

"Could the real thunder egg have been stolen?"

Before they could make any more guesses, several thunderbirds responsible for patrolling the thunder pool broke through the fog and rushed up at high speed.

"Something terrible has happened! The True Spirit Egg has been stolen!"

As soon as these words were spoken, several Thunder Birds in the fusion stage almost fainted.

The Bird King Qianyu was furious and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? The True Spirit Egg was banned by several clan leaders, connecting it and the thirty-six Eyes of Heavenly Punishment together!"

"Unless an old monster in the Mahayana stage takes action, or blows up the important place of the Thunder Pool, how could the True Spirit Egg be stolen?"

The sixth-rank thunderbird in charge of reporting the news trembled all over and said, "That's exactly the truth. There are only thirty-five of the thirty-six Eyes of Heavenly Punishment left. The egg thief took the Eyes of Heavenly Punishment with him!"

Qianyu was so angry that he laughed, he even suspected that the other party was joking.

There was no need to worry about keeping secrets now. Even the secret itself was gone, so they did not hide anything in their discussion, but openly revealed the existence of the True Spirit Egg.

Pang Bo and others who were originally planning to withdraw stopped abruptly after hearing the four words "True Spirit Egg" and looked towards the minefield below in disbelief.

"What? You actually got a true spirit egg? Are you kidding? What kind of true spirit would lay its egg here?" Pang Bo shouted.

“Quack, aren’t you afraid of being exterminated? How dare you steal the True Spirit Egg?!” The Golden Toad couldn’t believe it.

But King Qin Qianyu had no intention of explaining to them. He immediately led all his men to surround Pangbo who was about to withdraw.

"Brother Pangbo, you are really good at making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. You personally came out to contain us here, but secretly sent people to steal the fairy bird eggs."

Hearing this, the corner of Saint Whale's mouth twitched. This was definitely not his plan, and there was no way he could take the blame for such a big crime.

"I don't know what you are talking about. All of our men are here, and we have absolutely no other men and women who have been sent to sneak into the minefield!"

Of course, if he had known earlier that there was a true spirit egg in the thunder pool, he would definitely have invited other elders from the clan to come out.

"Brother Pang, do you think I will believe you?" The Bird King Qianyu slowly spread his wings, looking like he was ready to fight to the death.

Saint Whale Pangbo snorted coldly and said, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not, but you said there is a True Spirit Egg down there? I also said that I lost a Chaos Treasure in the Thunder Pool!"

The Bird King Qianyu stared at Pangbo, and what the latter said did not seem to be false.

Could it really not be Pang Bo's doing? Being able to sneak into the Thunder Pond without anyone noticing, and ignoring the terrifying Thunder Dao restriction, and directly stealing the Thunder Peng Egg from the Thunder Pond, it really doesn't seem like the method of an ordinary fusion stage strongman.

Qianyu immediately said to the other thunderbirds behind him: "Go back and inform the leaders of your tribes, report this matter back, and mobilize all forces to search for the egg stealer!"

"The other team will start searching the area around the Thunder Pond now. The egg thief may not be able to get far!"

After making the above arrangements, Qianyu looked at Pang Bo and said, "Brother Pang, you are the most suspected in this matter. I hope you can cooperate with the investigation and clear your suspicion."

In response to this, Pang Bo's expression changed, but he still agreed to it.

"Of course you can, but I have to remind you that if you want to force a confession out of me, my Holy Whale Clan is not a pushover."

He was very confident, as it all came from the clan's ancestor Qianxu, who had been wandering in the void for many years.

"By the way, what is the True Spirit Egg?" Pang Bo couldn't help but ask.

Qianyu sighed and said, "It's not a live egg, but a Lei Peng egg from a dead egg that has not hatched."
