The journey to find the ancestral homeland of the bereaved family members is not an easy one.
In fact, over thousands of years, most of the survivors have long forgotten their origins.
The harsh climate in the Yellow Sand Secret Realm has made survival difficult for the survivors the mainstream. There are only a handful of people like the cat-headed people.
What's more, the ubiquitous bone-cutting divine wind and the rising Yuanci sand and gravel all over the sky make it easy for people to get lost in the wind and sand.
Most of the roads Mao Shou led to Li Qing were through caves eroded by underground rivers.
Although this avoids the wind and sand in the air, it also makes the road tortuous and difficult to determine the direction.
During this period, Li Qing discovered the frog-headed tribe he met last time.
But this is a brand new tribe. The settlement was established not long ago, so naturally there are no relics left in it.
The leader of the frog-headed people was very happy to see his old friend arriving, and even though the conditions were difficult, he still wanted to hold a banquet in honor of him.
It is worth mentioning that the last time we met, it was just the leader of the trading team, but now, it is the leader of the entire tribe.
Compared to the cat-headed clan's enthusiasm for naming, even if the curse is lifted, the frog-headed people don't seem to have this need, and few have names so far.
The leader of the frog-headed men did not give himself a name.
"When two Taoist friends are traveling in the secret realm, they should pay attention to some cultivators wearing black robes. They are likely to be demonic cultivators."
Li Qing was surprised: "Fellow Taoist, this tribe has also discovered traces of demon cultivators? How many people did they come in this time?!"
The leader of the frog-headed men nodded: "Well, he came over to me and told me a lot about what he had and what he didn't have. The frog was so annoyed that I drove him away."
Mao Shou was a little nervous: "Then what are they planning to do? Will they endanger our survival?"
The leader of the frog-headed men shook his head: "It's nothing more than trying to contaminate the secret realm with demons, thereby eroding the world of cultivation in reverse."
Li Qing asked: "Then have they revealed what they will do?"
The frog-headed man spread his hands helplessly: "How do I know this? We didn't join that crazy plan."
"It's a pity that those men in black robes have the means to die together. I can't take risks with these little frog cubs, so I can only let them get out."
Li Qing turned his head and looked at a large group of snoring frog-headed cubs lying on the lotus leaves not far away, and nodded.
"Indeed, there is no need to confront them head-on. Fellow Taoist, don't worry, if I see you in the future, I will definitely help you cook."
The leader of the frog-headed men was stunned for a moment, and then he advised politely: "Fellow Taoist, those demonic cultivators are paranoid, and they most like to die together. If we don't have to, it's better not to provoke them."
Mao Shou laughed at the side: "Fellow Taoist, you are still stuck in your previous understanding. The person in front of you is now at the third level and can be respectfully called Zhenren Li."
The leader of the frog-headed men shook the wine glass in his hand unexpectedly, and the wine spilled all over the floor: "Third... level three, isn't that Master Jiedan?"
Li Qing nodded, and with a flick of his fingers, the blessed land sandbox in his dantian received the power of Kunpeng's blessed land from the air.
Although gentle, the extremely powerful force left the frog-head leader speechless for a moment.
"I'm not Master Jiedan. I just took advantage of the opportunity to advance to the blessed land and become the master of the blessed land. I only reached the third level with the help of my own strength."
When the leader of the frog-headed people heard this, his eyes couldn't help but shine: "Lord of the Blessed Land! In our place, this is much more popular than the Master Jiedan."
After all, the original owner of the secret realm was a powerful master of the Earth Immortal Way, and all Earth Immortal cultivators from the surviving clan were born to look up to him. However, in ancient times, the frog-headed clan was just frog soldiers patrolling the secret realm, and had no interaction with the disciples of the Great Power.
Naturally, there are no ruins in their ancestral land.
"But our ancestors once received a reward from a big man. Well, it was a piece of sand that didn't know its purpose."
Li Qing became interested: "I wonder if you can let me observe for a while and see if I can get some tips?"
The leader of the frog-headed people waved grandly: "No problem, I'll get it right away and give it to fellow Taoists to taste."
He skipped out of the reception hall. After a while, he took out a jade box and said, "Let's see, real person."
Mao Shou took the jade box, opened the lid and felt it before handing it to Li Qing: "It is indeed a grain of sand..."
Before he finished speaking, something happened in one of Li Qing's storage bags.
Li Qing raised his eyebrows, reached in, and found that the treasure mirror was trembling. He quickly took out the spiritual treasure and placed it in front of the gravel.
Then a "buzzing" sound was heard, and the gravel suddenly gave off an earthy yellow light, which shone directly on the treasure mirror in Li Qing's hand.
Since getting this treasure mirror, Li Qing has been unable to refine it even a little bit, and he has no idea what the magic of this treasure mirror is.
If it weren't for this object, but a personal treasure hand-delivered by the senior master in the tower, Li Qing might even have thought that it was just useless scrap metal.
Now, this gravel can actually resonate with Lingbao, which shows that it is also a very high-quality material.
On the other side, the leader of the frog-headed people looked at the gravel that had not moved for thousands of years, and couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that we are just the guardians of the treasure, and the real person is the one destined for it."
After that, he put the mysterious gravel and the box into Li Qing's palm without any hesitation.
"Real person, treasures have a spirit, and they know that they are hidden. This gravel has been in my frog-headed family for thousands of years, and I am no match for you to come here."
"In this case, we have no use for this treasure, so we dedicated it to the real person."
Li Qing couldn't help but be surprised: "Since it is a family heirloom, it must be of extraordinary significance. How can I accept this gravel?"
The leader of the frog-headed people smiled and said: "Rather than collect the dust, it's better to give it to each other and have a destiny. When the demon cultivator's plan comes true, I only hope that the real person will protect our clan."
Li Qing pondered for a moment, and finally accepted the gravel: "Fellow Taoist, please relax. As long as there is even a shred of hope, I will try my best to protect the fellow Taoist tribe."
As the gravel was put into the storage bag, Baojian, who was originally shaking, gradually calmed down.
This time, Li Qing used his spiritual consciousness to sense the treasure mirror again. Suddenly he still couldn't control it, but he successfully read some information about the treasure.
"Sealing Spiritual Treasure Mirror?! It can consume spiritual materials of level four or above to send irrelevant people to the throne of the Lord of the Blessed Land."
Li Qing couldn't help but suddenly realized: "It turns out to be a simplified and downgraded version of the list of gods! This item should also be a very important spiritual treasure in the lineage of earthly immortals."
As we learned at the Blessed Land Promotion Banquet, there are actually more than three Blessed Lands in the Great Zhou Kingdom, but there are only three owners of the Blessed Lands.
Because many people have inherited the blessed land through the dividends of their ancestors, but due to a series of reasons such as their own cultivation and philosophy, they simply cannot occupy the center of the blessed land.
But now with this treasure guide, as long as Li Qing is willing, he can even deprive future generations of the inheritance rights of the blessed land and appoint himself as the owner of such and such blessed land.
