Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 979 Retreat
Every important city within the human territory is basically built on the basis of high-level spiritual veins. For example, Feixian City where Li Qing is now located is located on a seventh-level spiritual vein.

The spiritual energy in the city is extremely rich, and you can feel the abundant spiritual energy between heaven and earth anywhere.

Li Qing casually found a place to live in the city. Now that his cultivation had reached the late stage of Refining Void, his need for a spiritual environment was not that great.

If he wanted to push his cultivation to the perfection of the Void Refining Stage, the key would still have to rely on elixirs. Fortunately, he still had some Five Elements Guiyuan Pills on hand, especially the psychic leopard-shaped pill, which had even stronger medicinal power. Almost one pill was enough for Li Qing to cultivate to the perfection of the Void Refining Stage.

Feixian City is peaceful and harmonious. The area where Li Qing lives is close to the outer city. Most of the people here are human cultivators with lower cultivation bases, at most at the Jindan stage or Yuanying stage.

Low-level cultivators like this often have to spend a lot of energy to earn spirit stones just for a place to live, and they have very little time left for cultivation on weekdays, so their progress in cultivation is quite slow.

Logically speaking, they should not have stayed in such a prosperous city, but the human race is now in a period of war, and the conscription of some low-level monks is quite frequent. Only by staying in such a huge city can they avoid being conscripted.

In addition, there are more opportunities in prosperous cities like this one. There are many grassroots monks who started from humble beginnings in this city and eventually achieved considerable success.

Therefore, as the friction between the human race and the Ghost Horn Tribe continued, more and more cultivators came from prosperous cities like Feixian City to escape the war.

Li Qing lives in an independent courtyard. There are many small courtyards like this. Low-level monks can be seen walking around from time to time.

After coming here, he suppressed his cultivation aura to the middle stage of Jindan. This level of cultivation strength is not uncommon here and is very common.

But even so, after he moved in, several neighbors came to visit him.

In response, Li Qing received them all solemnly.

Living on his right was a couple in the Nascent Soul stage. They came from a remote small town and had to come to Feixian City to avoid conscription by the human race.

Once they are recruited, there are only two possible outcomes waiting for them: either they go to the front battlefield to provide support, or they are sent to some resource areas occupied by humans to mine various resources.

The former involves the risk of death, while the latter is extremely tiring. Some special mining veins require mining day and night, and even monks find it difficult to withstand such high-intensity work.

Fortunately, the couple were well-informed and arrived at Feixian City in advance so they were not recruited.

"Fellow Daoist Wuji, this is a small reward my husband and I received for working in the medicine garden of a senior in the Void Refining Stage. Taking this herb seed alone can greatly benefit a cultivator's golden elixir. It can purify the quality of the golden elixir, and it will be easier to form a baby in the future."

In Li Qing's courtyard, a middle-aged man with a kind and gentle face held some spiritual herb seeds in his hand and wanted to give them to Li Qing.

In response, Li Qing politely declined. He chuckled and said, "Senior Wen, please take back the grass seeds. I don't want to receive anything without merit. I don't have the nerve to ask for these things."

"Besides, my cultivation in the Jindan stage is going smoothly, and I also have one or two secret methods to assist in purifying the golden elixir, so I don't need these external items."

However, the man surnamed Wen was determined to give it to Li Qing. He said, "My husband and I have both reached the Nascent Soul stage. We can't use these spiritual herbs. It would be a waste to keep them. Do you really not want them?"

Li Qingqian smiled and declined again: "I appreciate Senior Wen's kindness, but don't you and your wife plan to have a child in the future?"

"These precious grass seeds would be great to leave to your offspring, so why give them to me for no reason?"

After hearing these words, the man surnamed Wen was slightly startled. Feeling Li Qing's firm refusal, he could not force it anymore.

"Hahaha, that does make sense. Tomorrow I have to take over the herb garden with my wife, so I won't stay any longer. Goodbye!"

"Senior Wen, take care!" Li Qing escorted the other party out of the yard, then retracted the warm smile on his face, and suddenly lost all expression.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!

Li Qing understood this principle. He had just moved in here for a short time when the couple began to show kindness to him in every way. It would have been fine if he had shown the cultivation level of the Void Refinement Stage, but at the moment he was only a Core Formation Stage cultivator with a lower cultivation level than them. With this couple being so attentive, he didn't believe anything good could happen.

However, he now considers himself to be very powerful, and no matter how sophisticated the conspiracies and tricks of some low-level monks are, they cannot pose any threat to him.

However, Li Qing has always been interested in the young man living in the courtyard on his left. This boy is also in the late Jindan stage, but he is an equipment refiner. He often refines magical instruments in his own courtyard and rarely goes out.

It is said that this young man came from a small family in the city, which did have quite a few elders in the Spirit Transformation Stage. However, for some unknown reason, he was expelled from the family and had to live in a place where these independent cultivators gathered.

boom!
As he was thinking this, another explosion was heard from the left side of Li Qing's courtyard.

Li Qing extended his spiritual sense over there, only to see that the young man was covered in dust and dirt, and in front of him were some spiritual materials that had been wasted.

"Alas, I failed again. How can I participate in the family's weapon refining competition with this level?"

"There are only seven years left for the next weapon refining competition. If I still cannot enter the top three, my age will exceed the threshold of thirty."

As he said this, the young man waved his fist towards the air with a look of dejection and unwillingness on his face.

However, he was not affected by this discouraged mood for too long. He soon took out some spiritual materials and started to refine them.

Li Qing observed with great interest for a while. He found that this young man had a good talent for refining weapons and his thinking was broad and innovative. What he lacked was some experience.

If he is trained well, he should be able to achieve considerable success in refining equipment in the future.

Unfortunately, without the guidance of a famous teacher and sufficient experience, it would be difficult for him to make significant progress even if he had a good talent for refining.

Li Qing did not help him directly, but withdrew his spiritual sense and planned to observe for a while to see what the character of this young man was like.

Soon, a crying sound was heard from Li Qing's courtyard.

"Woo. Wow!"

Hearing the voice, Li Qing walked back to the room helplessly, took a can of animal milk and fed it to the baby.

Only then did Xiao Qinyin stop crying. She blinked her watery eyes and enjoyed the milk that Li Qing squeezed from the powerful monsters and beasts in the cave world with a satisfied look on her face.

"Behave yourself, you little bastard. If you keep crying and making a fuss, I'll leave you to the couple next door for foster care."

Hearing Li Qing's threatening words, Xiao Qinyin blinked aggrievedly and pouted his little face as if drinking animal milk.

Faced with this man who didn't know how to raise or coax a baby, Xiao Qiyin had no choice but to shut her mouth pitifully and drink the animal milk seriously.

Only then did Li Qing breathe a sigh of relief. He came to the courtyard, looked at the bright moon that was about to move to the center of the sky, and then heaved a long sigh.

"In a few years, the Feixian Convention will be held in Feixian City. By then, many monks from other cities will come to observe the Feixian wonders in the city. It will also be an excellent trading convention." "I can take this opportunity to trade some of the things I have on hand, and buy some things I need at the same time."

"Also, you can ask about the several important materials that the Wan Yan Xian Formation is still lacking. If we can refine the sword formation as soon as possible, we will have an important additional combat power to rely on in the future!"

For example, the monkey wine he has on hand now will definitely be a very popular item when the time comes, and many family-style forces will compete to buy it.

After saying that, Li Qing sat cross-legged in the open air, closed his eyes and began his practice.

While practicing the "Chihuang Burning Heaven Art", he casually took out a large number of spirit stones from the treasure of the cave and placed them beside him, and absorbed the overflowing spiritual energy into his body.

The noise and commotion of practicing in the Void Refinement Stage were quite loud, so it was only because Li Qing casually set up a few secret restrictions, otherwise it would have certainly alarmed the cultivators living nearby.

boom!
As he continued to breathe in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Li Qing's magic power accumulated bit by bit.

Now that he has the qualifications of seven spiritual roots, his cultivation efficiency far exceeds that of other cultivators of the same level, but he is still not satisfied.

Li Qing took out a Five Elements Guiyuan Pill and swallowed it. The speed at which his mana increased increased again, rising at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Improving his cultivation to the perfection of the Void Refining Stage was his short-term goal, and naturally he wanted to achieve it as soon as possible.

However, in order to stabilize his foundation, he did not rush to take spiritual elixirs, but chose a more stable path of practice.

Two and a half years have passed in the blink of an eye, and news about various geniuses continues to spread within the human territory.

"Xiyuan City has produced an unparalleled genius. It took him only three hundred years to cultivate to the late stage of the Spiritualization. His aptitude is quite astonishing!"

"This is nothing. The cultivation results that can be piled up with pills may stop at the Void Refining Stage in the future."

"That's right. I heard that the Jiufeng family gave birth to a child with an astonishing blood concentration. The purity of the Heavenly Phoenix blood in his body even exceeds 30%!"

"Hiss, doesn't that mean it's equivalent to one-third of a true spirit descendant?"

"That's about right, but a true pure-blooded descendant of a true spirit should be able to defeat five of these descendants."

"It's a real spirit after all!"

In the human territory, what is most lacking is news related to geniuses. These peerless heroes are also the hope of the human race in the future, so the discussion is always the hottest.

There are even some people who would open a betting site to bet on which of these extraordinary people will reach the next level faster. There are always many betting sites like this.

However, the most shocking one among them is probably the Yin-Yang Sect!

"A few years ago, a group of people from the Yin Yang Sect brought back a baby girl from Diming City. It is suspected that she has the body of Taiyin!"

"That's impossible. Could it be that the change in the human race's fortunes a few years ago was related to the birth of this Taiyin body?"

"It should be true. The Ghost Horn Tribe has been more active in the border areas in recent years. It is said that the ancestors of the tribe have seen through the secrets and figured out the clues."

"The destiny of the human race has changed, starting with Taiyin!"

This news was extremely exciting, for that was a well-known Taoist physique that had been famous since ancient times. There were not many physiques that could match it. Only the legendary physiques such as the Sun Body, the Heavenly Immortal Body, and the Undisaster Divine Body could be compared with it.

Moreover, the Taiyin body had extremely brilliant achievements in ancient times. This is recorded in actual historical materials. There was once a person with the Taiyin body who achieved enlightenment and was respected in the world. He was honored as Taiyin Tianzun!
At this time when the human race is declining, it is truly an exciting thing to hear the news that a Taiyin body has been born.

If a Taiyin Tianzun could be born in the future, he would definitely be a powerful Tianzun who would dominate the nine heavens and ten earths, and his combat power would be extremely astonishing.

Li Qing often heard about this news even though he lived in a remote area of ​​Feixian City.

He regulated his breathing and calmed the magic power in his body.

"I haven't taken any pills in nearly half a year. I've only been practicing normal breathing exercises. My progress is frighteningly slow."

"But it's not without any benefit. The mana I previously increased through taking the elixir has now been strengthened."

"If I continue to practice like this for a year or so, I will be able to take the Five Elements Guiyuan Pill that can help me communicate with the spirit world."

After saying that, Li Qing stroked the silver ring on his wrist for a while. When a silver light flashed across his wrist, a demonic aura suddenly filled the cave.

He summoned a golden-armored rhinoceros, which was ready to attack as soon as it came out.

But Li Qing was faster and pressed down with his palm. The golden-armored rhinoceros was immediately pressed to the ground with a bang and could not move at all.

"Haha, it seems like you, a reckless fellow, are living comfortably in my cave treasure. You have even recovered from such a serious injury."

Li Qing smiled indifferently, then took out the Immortal-Slaying Sword and approached under the frightened eyes of the golden-armored rhinoceros.

He gently swung the Immortal-Slaying Sword, and the sword light easily broke through the extremely thick shell of the Golden-Armored Rhinoceros, and a stream of bright red blood flowed out.

Li Qing just pointed his fingers, and magic power flowed into the body of the Golden Armored Rhino. He drew a strand of golden blood directly from the golden heart in the Golden Armored Rhino's body.

"Brother Rhino, I'll lend you your blood and essence for a bit. It's my reward for rescuing you from the Lianyun Colosseum."

After taking an amount of blood and essence about the size of a baby's fist, Li Qing sealed its wound and released it back to the cave world.

"Another type of blood essence has been added to the Nirvana Blood Burning Technique. We can consider getting some celestial demon blood essence from that glutton."

"It's a pity that this guy is still unconscious and we haven't found a suitable way to wake him up yet."

Li Qing let out a long sigh and slowly put his blood essence into the storage bag.

At this moment, a strong aura suddenly came from the courtyard next to Li Qing.

boom!
The young man who lived next door to him actually started to form a baby!
