Chapter 46 Water and Fire Golden Elixir, heading to the volcano
Hongya rice plants are already low, and this one is even worse. Almost the entire plant grows under the shadow of Cordyceps sinensis, the leaves are a little white, and the ears of rice are also too low. Slightly shriveled.
But thanks to this, its grains have not been harmed by seabirds. The three ears are half hanging and have become mature.
What surprised Li Qing was, of course, not that it survived the bird disaster, but that the fluctuations of spiritual energy emitted by the grain were completely different from normal.
Hongya rice likes heat and still needs firelight at night. It contains the power of fire when harvested.
But this one is different! Its grains also contain a touch of water energy derived from Cordyceps sinensis.
Water and fire are perfectly integrated into one place, and there is a faint tendency of being separated and intertwined.
Li Qing felt that his heartbeat had slowed down by half a beat: "The intersection of Kan and Li, the intertwining of Yin and Yang, this is... the golden elixir avenue!"
Water and fire are in conflict with each other. , in the world of cultivation, they are a very special pair of avenues.
It is rumored that before Emperor Yuan unified the world of cultivation, the six realms of Qi training, foundation building, pill formation, Yuanying, transformation into gods, and returning to the void were not necessarily connected.
There was a great master who used obstacles to separate water and fire, refined yin and yang without limit, and finally achieved the golden elixir path. He ruled the world for thousands of years and then ascended to heaven.
Even though Emperor Yuan later sorted out the realms and found that in the realm of pill formation, there were countless methods, but the water-fire alchemy pill method was still among the top achievements.
Li Qing naturally does not dare to think about this kind of avenue now. But he understood the value of this Hongya rice.
If the date palm snail heart will be coveted by the foundation-building monks, then this rice will definitely make the great monks at the peak of the foundation-building go crazy.
Li Qing took a long breath and tried to use a rejuvenation technique on it, hoping to make it grow fuller.
However, the rice ears swayed slightly and were not repaired. Instead, the roots of the ears dried up and broke, and fell naturally.
Li Qing quickly caught it and sensed it carefully with his spiritual consciousness. He found that the vitality of the rice grain was restrained, but the water and fire energy was still there. He was relieved.
“It’s just a coincidence that this Cordyceps Cordyceps fell into the Hongya rice field. The road favors it!”
Li Qing took out a jade box and put these three cordyceps into the rice field. Dozens of spiritual seeds are collected and collected, leaving them to be planned after the foundation is established.

After the Hongya Rice harvest was completed, the Green Pearl Rice Elf Insect fell into a deep sleep again.
Li Qing estimated that the time for its real birth will be five days later, which is the day when the green pearl rice will be harvested.
Logically speaking, he should wait aside.
But what the golden eagle wizard Fakusi said before, that the submarine volcano was about to erupt, also touched his spiritual sense.
In the world of cultivation, when a volcano erupts, a large number of spiritual treasures hidden deep in the earth will appear together with the magma. The same is true in this world.
With the idea of "employing people without suspicion", he entrusted this area to the Wren family, and he used the water-bending technique all the way to the submarine volcano.
In this world, there is less development of resources in the sea, and the auras of various spiritual creatures continue to arouse Li Qing's consciousness.
He didn't search deliberately, but he also caught a lot of fish, shrimps and shells impregnated with magic power, and put them all into the spirit beast bag.
There are also various ores, pearls, and metal fragments, all stuffed into storage bags.
But generally speaking, they are all materials for the Qi training period. It was of no great use to Li Qing. Apart from giving it to the younger generation, it could only be used to fill the family treasury.
"It's a pity that along the way, I didn't catch any magic-impregnated date snails, nor did I pick up fairy insects in the water..."
Li Qing felt vaguely that something was wrong: it was his first time to hunt for treasure in the sea, and his luck was too bad. Better. Not only did I catch a pair of date snails, but I also picked up an elf insect named Azao.
But these thoughts were useless. He calmed down his mind, walked and stopped, and came to the submarine volcano that Fakusi talked about. At this time, there is about one day left before the volcano erupts.
When Li Qing arrived, the surroundings looked calm. But with a slight movement of his consciousness, he discovered more than fifty spiritual energy fluctuations in the middle and late stages of Qi training.
Among them, more than thirty waveforms were similar to Ren's. They were gathered on an island. They were probably all rune warriors.
Their methods are relatively simple and they cannot dive for a long time. They probably will not go into the sea until the official outbreak.
The other dozen or so fluctuations are relatively scattered and more varied. Some are majestic, some are wild, and some are unpredictable.
Li Qing guessed that these are wizards.
He did not approach any place rashly. After using magic to disguise himself, he found a hidden rock and meditated silently, waiting for the volcano to erupt.
But he didn't go to the mountain, but the mountain came to him.
Not long after he sat down, a wizard wearing a black robe and whose face could not be seen came to him.
"What a rich natural element. Are you a reclusive elder of the Emerald Ring?" the black-robed wizard asked.
Li Qing sensed that the opponent’s strength was equal to his own.
"Yes." Relying on his true energy to defend himself, Li Qing responded without any guilt and asked: "Who are you?"
The black-robed wizard did not become suspicious and said in a hoarse voice: "I am a scattered wizard, no bigger than the Emerald Ring family. I am fearless, but I dare not reveal my name."
Emerald Ring, Wilderness House …This is information that the Lane family does not know. They knew only the Priory of Wizards who had made peace with the Coastal Kingdoms.
According to Ren's statement, wizards in this world are like rats in the gutter.
But according to what this man in black robe means, the Emerald Ring should be a very powerful organization.
“A leaf blinds your eyes and you can’t see Mount Tai.” Li Qing sighed in his heart and looked at the man in black robe seriously, “Then why do you come to me?”
The man in black robe let out the villain's signature "Jie Jie" laugh: "Although this time is in the period of a small volcanic eruption and is not worthy of a Level 4 powerhouse, there are quite a few Level 3 powerhouses who have come over."
"Your Excellency is alone. It doesn't matter if you don't encounter the treasure. Once you have a big harvest, I'm afraid you will be attacked by a group of people."
Li Qing didn't even raise his eyelids: "You came to see me. Joining forces? How can I trust you?”
The black robe pointed behind him: “We already have two third-level wizards and four second-level wizards joining forces. , no one can afford to break the oath..."
The Styx Oath, this obviously touches on Li Qing's knowledge blind spot.
His mind was spinning, and he seemed to not care much and said: "Oh? In that case, let me make an oath first to show my sincerity."
The man in black robe did not doubt that he was there, and took out a piece of parchment. Complex runes are drawn on it, and six different characters are written in blood below: "Your Excellency, please see, the names of the six of us have been sworn on the Styx..."
Li Qing: Look. don't know! What can be done?
In order not to leak anything, he pretended to be profound and said: "Who knows if you have tampered with this oath? Unless you make another one in front of me?"
The man in black robe shook his left hand slightly and said angrily: "I kindly invite you to join us for a group hug. Since you don't appreciate it, forget it."
After that, he neatly put away the parchment and left without looking back.
Li Qing was speechless: What are you anxious about? I just want to see if I can imitate the Stygian Oath, so I’m going to learn from it now!
