Chapter 165 Qingling Domain
In the Changsheng Valley, there is an island in the center of the big lake.
This place is shrouded in fog all year round, and it looks very mysterious from the outside.
This island is the center of the Liu family's second-level spiritual energy. The spiritual energy is quite rich, much richer than the three areas where casual cultivators live.
The highest-ranking members of the Liu family live here. They enjoy the rich spiritual energy here all year round, which is of great benefit to the monks.
At this time, a vague aura was revealed, causing the fog around the island to ripple slightly.
"Liu Yun, you did a good job this time. If Yue'er can use this to complete the mission of the sect and accumulate enough contributions, then it is very possible to achieve foundation building!"
Liu Yun, who had just caused a sensation when he brought out the Ningling Pills at the trade fair, had successfully sold three Ningling Pills.
Liu Yun clasped his fists towards a cave in front with a smile on his face and said: "Don't worry, Master, with Miss Hanyue's talent, as long as she can get a Foundation Establishment Pill, she will definitely achieve the realm of Foundation Establishment. Things!”
“When the time comes for our Liu family to have another foundation-building monk, our position will be even more stable!”
From a cave on the island in front, the voice came out again:
"Well, I hope so, but I heard that the Flying Eagle Thief is a bit tricky, and I don't know if the casual cultivators you picked can do it." I can't complete this matter."
"If I hadn't been practicing this secret technique at a critical stage, I would have wanted to go and meet the so-called Flying Eagle Thief in person."
Liu. Yun said respectfully: "Master, don't worry. Those tribulation cultivators are only in the late stage of Qi refining. It's not necessarily how high their combat power is. After all, they always pick on lone cultivators every time."
“The really difficult part is how to find them. It is said that these people are smarter than rabbits and will run away immediately at the slightest sign of trouble!”
"The three casual cultivators I selected this time are all older and experienced people, and with the magical weapons given to them by the family before departure, they will definitely be able to capture them."
The head of the Liu family felt relieved after hearing this. : "Well, not bad."
After going around and around, the second day of the trade fair came.
Li Qing did not dress up in disguise this time, but walked out of the courtyard in his true appearance.
Before setting off, he glanced at the direction of Old Zhou's courtyard with complex eyes, then sighed deeply and rushed towards the place where the trade fair was.
Yes, Old Man Zhou, who had been stuck on the sixth level of Qi Refining for many years, successfully bought a Spirit Condensing Pill yesterday.
In the past few days, Old Man Zhou must have been adjusting himself, trying to keep himself in the best condition, and then taking the Ningling Pill to give it a try.
To be honest, Li Qing didn’t know whether he should pray for this old man and wish him a smooth advancement into the later stage of Qi Refining.
Because once the promotion is successful, it means leaving the Liu family to encircle and suppress the notorious group of flying eagle thieves.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, Li Qing actually knew a lot. Most of the casual cultivators who worked as helpers in the Liu family had very little combat experience and had rarely fought with others.
Even when it comes to fighting, their experience is not necessarily as rich as that of Li Qing, the master of human martial arts.
Although there is only one cultivator in the late stage of Qi refining among the Flying Eagle Thieves, but looking at it from another perspective, there must be such a person who dares to be a tribulation cultivator just because of a cultivator in the late stage of Qi refining. Rely on.
"Alas, I hope God will bless Old Man Zhou."
Li Qing sighed again, and then came to the area of the casual cultivator trade fair.
Today is the second day of the trade fair. The flow of people has dropped slightly, but it is still bustling with people.
Li Qing thought he had arrived very early, but he didn't expect that the stall was still fully occupied.
After spending a long time, Li Qing finally found a stall that was still vacant.
Seeing this scene, Li Qing immediately squeezed over, then quickly took out a large bearskin and placed it directly on his stall.
The thing he wants to sell is the skin of the first-level early stage bear demon. After selling it, he can call it a day and buy other things he wants with the spirit stones he got.
“Hey, little brother, did you hunt a bear demon alone?”
A stall owner next to him looked at the bear skin on Li Qing's stall with surprise in his eyes.
Li Qing sat down on the ground nonchalantly and said with a smile: "Hahaha, just good luck. I accidentally met such a bear demon in the forest a year ago."
"It's not easy. The texture of your bear's skin looks like that of a rock bear. The skin of this kind of monster is the hardest, so it's not that easy to kill." The stall owner next to Li Qing made a rather impressive move. Professional review.
This made Li Qing a little surprised, and he raised his eyebrows, thinking that this person was really right.
When I went to hunt the bear, I really put a lot of effort into it. If I hadn't been there to help, I might not have been able to succeed.
"It's just a fluke!" Li Qing said modestly.
After saying that, Li Qing looked at the things on the other side's stall and couldn't help showing a strange expression.
They are all things that aphrodisiac and nourish the body.
"Hahahaha, I made my little brother laugh. In the early years, I was overly obsessed with men and women, which led to a loss of money. Later, I slowly started to delve into this art."
"How about it? Do you want to buy some deer antlers? For this thing, I have been tracking a group of wild deer since winter, and I didn't get it until spring!"
"They are all good things!"
Listening to the introduction from the stall owner next to him, Li Qing shook his head with a wry smile and declined the other party's kindness.
Are you kidding? He is a martial arts master in the world. His energy and blood are as strong as the rivers and seas. How could he need such a thing?
Compared with many monks who are physically weak, Li Qing is not boasting, he will never need this thing in his life.
There was really no interest in meeting Li Qing, but the stall owner next to him didn't bother to introduce him. Li Qing himself leisurely took out a small book, sat on the stall and read it with gusto.
It was the talisman he bought yesterday - "Unexpected Stories from the Qingling Immortal World"
There were people coming and going in the trading market, but Li Qing's mind was quickly immersed in included in the contents recorded in this small booklet.
It tells about the various geographical customs and anecdotes of this world of immortality, as well as various major events that have happened in the past few thousand years.
It turns out that the area where Li Qing is located is called the Qingling Territory. There are four human gathering places here, namely the Liang Kingdom, the Feng Kingdom, the Grassland, and the Far South, which Li Qing is familiar with. The land of Mu.
The terrain of the Qingling Domain is very special. It is surrounded by three terrains in four directions that are insurmountable for ordinary people.
The land in the far west is a huge abyss, called the Great Abyss. It is rumored that the terrain was caused by powerful monks fighting in ancient times. The real reason is unknown.
If you want to cross this great abyss, you must at least be in the alchemy stage, because not only is the spiritual energy in the sky above the great abyss thin, but it will also slowly swallow up the spiritual power in the monk's body. It is very strange and is called It is one of the forbidden areas of life in Qingling.
To the east, beyond the Liang Kingdom, is an endless ocean. The monks of the Lian Dan Period were in a state of despair when they saw it.
Looking south, passing through the Mu Kingdom, there is a bone-chilling snow-capped mountain range. This snow-capped mountain range is even more exaggerated than the Xiao Cuiling in the Maple Kingdom. Several peaks tower into the clouds, like heaven and earth. A ridge in between.
If you want to leave the Qingling Territory, you can only go all the way north. The north is the vast grassland. Although it is difficult to cross, compared with the Jedi in the other three directions, it can be said to be the only way out.
As long as your cultivation reaches the foundation building stage, or even the late stage of Qi refining, you can ride on a spiritual horse and spend a few months, and you will have the opportunity to travel through and enter other realms.
The author who wrote this book once tried to travel north and cross the grassland to other areas where immortals were cultivated. However, the grassland was too vast and he could not see the edge even after two months of full-strength marching.
The spiritual energy was extremely thin along the way, and even the spiritual stones in the storage bag were empty, so I had no choice but to return the same way.
Due to the dangerous terrain on all sides of the Qingling Domain, there is little contact with the immortal cultivation world in other regions. This domain has also been ruled by four powerful immortal forces.
They are: Tianhe Sect, Shangqing Sect, Lingyun Sect, and the Temple Tribe of the Grassland!
Seeing this, Li Qing's fingers suddenly tightened and he almost lost control of his strength and crushed the book.
Lingyun Sect!
Seeing these three words, Li Qing's inner emotions seemed to stir up a storm. He immediately thought of the white jade token at the bottom of his box.
Could it be that that token is the so-called Ascension Order?
He wasn't sure. Sometimes a sect would have various tokens, perhaps representing the identity of a certain disciple?
Li Qing suppressed his excitement and continued reading.
That is an introduction to the holy medicine of casual cultivators, the Foundation Building Pill.
In the beginning, when refining the Foundation Building Pill, various elixirs from the world were used. Later, as the years passed, these elixirs became more and more rare, so that they only existed in some secret realms or Among the Jedi.
The absence of the Foundation Establishment Pill means that the path of most monks has become very difficult. Except for a few talented people, no one dares to break through the Foundation Establishment Pass.
Because once it fails, it means there is a risk of death!
The mana dissipates and impacts the monk's body. This kind of backlash often results in severe damage to the vitality, and death in severe cases.
Later, even the Immortal Sect couldn't stand it any longer, so it sent high-level monks to cross the chasm and go to other areas of the Immortal Cultivation World to find the source of materials.
Finally, a monk brought back a new foundation-building elixir recipe from another world of immortal cultivation, replacing the main ingredient of the elixir that was hard to find in the world with the crystal core of a second-level monster. !
This discovery can be described as earth-shattering, giving the entire world of immortal cultivation in the Qingling Territory a serious chance of survival.
It is precisely because of the new foundation-building elixir that monster beasts have become extremely rare in the Qingling Territory today.
But fortunately, whether it is the Endless Sea in the east or the bitter cold mountains in the extreme south, these two desperate places still have many monsters that rely on them to survive.
“No wonder there are so few monsters in Xiaocuiling. It took me two and a half years to meet an early first-order bear monster.”
Li Qing murmured to himself, I thought that they were all hunted down and the crystal cores were taken away to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Just when Li Qing was sighing in his heart, someone finally visited his stall.
And this person is none other than the arrogant Talisman Master Li Qing met yesterday!
"How do you sell this bear demon skin?" The arrogant Talisman Master still held his airs, as if he came to buy Li Qing's things to give him face.
Seeing this scene, Li Qing's heart moved slightly.
Originally, he planned to sell this bear skin for only twenty or thirty spiritual stones, but after learning that monster beasts are so rare nowadays, his mind became more active.
“Fifty spiritual stones, no two prices!” Li Qing said with a smile.
"This is just an early-stage first-level monster animal skin, and you're selling it so expensively? Why don't you just grab it!" The Talisman Master suddenly became anxious.
Li Qing shook his head and said, "You think it's too expensive, but I think it's too expensive. Look at the monsters in Xiaocuiling now!"
"I'm here with this bear monster." Xiaocuiling searched for it for two and a half years. It took a lot of effort to kill it."
As he said that, Li Qing pretended to buy it or not, and continued to care about himself! He started reading the "Strange Stories from the Qingling Immortal World" that he got from the other party.
I have to say that knowledge is indeed equal to wealth. If he hadn't obtained such a book, he would never have known that monsters were so scarce nowadays.
The other party is a talisman master. Such a big bear skin might be used to make special talisman paper for drawing talismans.
Every monster is a treasure, this is not just talk.
“Oh, okay!” This arrogant Talisman Master finally compromised when he saw Li Qing in this state.
Li Qing felt happy when he saw this.
