After receiving the exotic treasure gravel as a gift from the Froghead clan and activating the spiritual treasure "Sealing Spiritual Treasure Mirror", Li Qing took Mao Shou and embarked on a journey to find the ruins of ancient cultivation.
Perhaps those demon cultivators should not die, but Li Qing never met them face to face along the way.
In this way, after several detours, Li Qing finally arrived at what Mao Shou said was the ancestral land of the human-faced snake lineage.
A long way away, Li Qing saw an altar with a green prism on it, which seemed to be the same as the earthy yellow orb in Cat City.
"Fellow Taoist Mao Shou, your judgment must be correct. There are indeed relics left by our ancestors here."
It's a pity that such a magnificent ancient building complex as Cat City has not been preserved to this day.
Outside the altar, it was already in ruins.
And some unintelligent human-faced snakes are like wild beasts, crawling in the wasteland, catching rats, poisonous snakes and the like for food.
Fortunately, they were born with extraordinary blood, and they could reach the third level of Qi training without much training, so they were not in danger of becoming extinct.
Li Qing's consciousness scanned the entire ruins and found that there were no other threats except the altar, so he led Mao Shou in.
When the human-faced snakes saw him, they all hunched up and opened their mouths with human faces, making exaggerated expressions to intimidate him.
"This is an intelligent race, but due to the fault of civilization, it has become a beast. It is sad and lamentable."
Li Qing sighed with emotion, waved his long sleeves, and brushed the human-faced snakes aside, strode towards the altar, and ignored them.
Mao Shou saw that some things were harmful to others. He sighed, took out some dry food made from spiritual plants, and fed them.
After all, he was a snake with a human face that could understand people's hearts. Some of the little guys felt his kindness, hesitated for a while, and crawled over.
"Hiss, hiss..."
Like snakes spitting out messages, they stick out their tongues and then flexibly roll the food into their mouths.
The delicious food they have never tasted blooms in their mouths, making these little guys roll with joy.
Those big human-faced snakes thought they were poisoned, and glared at Mao Shou one after another. The limited spiritual energy around them was mobilized, and they wanted to attack.
Fortunately, these little guys came to their senses quickly and swarmed up to Mao Shou to beg for food, which relaxed the atmosphere.
“Don’t grab it, eat slowly, you’ll all have your share!”
After Mao Shou fed all the snakes in place, he gently pushed them away and jumped behind Li Qing lightly.
"Master, I want to take those little guys and send them to a tribe of human-faced snakes. They are still young and their animal nature is still light. They may be able to be educated."
Li Qing looked up at the green prisms and replied casually: "It's up to you to decide. However, since you have good intentions, you must place them properly. Don't do bad things with good intentions."
Human villages will always be wary of strangers; it is still unknown whether the human-faced snake tribe can readily accept these wild kin.
Mao Shou nodded: "Well, I will try my best to follow up. All races in the secret realm are struggling to survive. If there is an opportunity to strengthen the tribe, there should be tribes willing."
Li Qing was noncommittal and focused on the altar in front of him.
He first ran the newly revised Earth Immortal Method, but the altar's protective circle did not resonate at all.
After thinking for a moment, he took out the "Feng Ling Bao Jian".
At this moment, the green prism on the altar seemed to be stimulated, and it shined brightly like the earthy yellow orb.
The sky was full of blue light, covering the entire ruins.
Those ignorant snakes with human faces were so frightened at first that they twisted their bodies and hid under the ruins. But soon, they instinctively felt that the green light was beneficial to them, so they hesitantly climbed up and basked in the green light carefully.
This time, Li Qing did not hear any scriptures.
But he was keenly aware that something deep in his roots was quietly undergoing transformation.
With a thought in his mind, he ran the "Aoki Enming True Interpretation" and quickly came to the conclusion: "The quality of the wood spirit root has improved?!"
There was no spirit measuring platform at the scene, so he could not judge how much his spiritual root qualifications had improved, but this was undoubtedly a good thing.
After all, the quality of spiritual roots still has a great influence on the breakthrough of foundation building to pill formation.
Just like the earthy yellow orb, the green prism also turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky after emitting light.
Li Qing also couldn't catch up, so he didn't bother.
He turned to ask Mao Shou: "Besides here, do you know where else there are ancient ruins?"
Mao Shou was realizing the changes in the green light body. He was a little confused when he heard the words. When he came to his senses, he shook his head regretfully: "No more. The bone-cutting kamikaze is everywhere. Wandering around in the wild is really too dangerous."
Li Qing was not disappointed either. He took a step forward and was about to board the altar, but the altar turned into ashes and dissipated.
"Eh! That's not right!"
Li Qing keenly discovered: "The wooden palaces in Cat City, including the towers, disappeared directly without leaving anything behind. But this altar was completely destroyed, and its expression was different."
He guessed in his heart that the powerful man in Cat City must have deliberately left a back-up to meet his destined person, so as to leave a glimmer of hope for his family.
The powerful man on the side of the human-faced snake may have left the green prism behind because he evacuated too quickly or for other reasons.
"That's all, it's useless to think too much. These are not things at my level that I should consider."
Li Qing shook his head, raised his hand and turned his true energy into wind, rolled up all the face snakes in the ruins, and placed them next to Mao Shou.
Immediately, he threw a large handful of fast-growing spiritual plant seeds into the ruins, and then nourished them with Huifeng, Lingshui, and Qingmu's small magical powers.
Soon, various low-level vine spiritual plants with well-developed root systems lifted up the ruins.
Under Li Qing's deliberate control, these spiritual vines continued to dig and rummage in the ruins, hoping to find more things related to the ruins.
While Mao Shou comforted the human-faced snake, he murmured: "There is such a treasure. When the human-faced snake tribe evacuated, they should have taken it with them..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Qing dug out stone slabs one by one from the ruins, with graffiti painted in paint still on them.
The graffiti was very abstract. Li Qing examined it carefully and found that it seemed to be a tree.
Suddenly, the Daoji in Li Qing's dantian trembled slightly.
He kept quiet and used both distractions to continue excavating the ruins while sinking his consciousness into the foundation of the Dao and reaching the magical space.
The boundless sea is still turbulent, and the sky-high green trees are rooted in it, swaying slightly.
Suddenly, the entire green tree began to collapse, just like in the Canglang Water Palace, the sea turned into water droplets, condensing into a seed.
The seed suddenly separated from Li Qingdaoji and Dantian, hovered over the ruins for a while, and then suddenly disappeared.
Li Qing frowned, remembering what he saw in a trance, the big tree was chopped into pieces by the light of an axe: "Could it be that there are fragments of that big tree here too?" (End of Chapter)
