Chapter 219 Retreat
As secret information was revealed one by one, this trade fair was finally coming to an end.
The ever-burning lamp with weak flames flickered unsteadily, and the old man in the foundation-building stage arranged for everyone to leave.
After a long time, Li Qing left the darkroom and found the monk who sublet the cave.
“Follow me!”
It wasn't that far, because this secret trading area was located under a Lingshan cave. In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Qing followed and flew to the hill on a suspended island.
This mountain is not big, but it has three caves. Among them, the cave rented by Li Qing is on the far left.
I saw a cave dug out by a sharp tool on the mountainside. Some ordinary green plants were planted at the entrance of the cave. However, in this seemingly beautiful environment, there were many restrictions placed around it.
"Fellow Taoist Erniu, from now on, I will leave these restrictions to you that isolate your spiritual consciousness and shield your breath. You don't have to worry about being disturbed by other people during your daily practice."
"But You must also remember that although the owners of the other two caves rarely come out, they must not be provoked at will. One of them is a senior in the foundation building stage!"
Hearing this, Li Qing was slightly shocked, and then looked in the direction pointed by the other party.
I saw that the cave built on the top of the mountain was quite impressive, with all kinds of restrictions all over the cave entrance, looking like it was rejecting people thousands of miles away.
You can tell at a glance that this is a solitary person who probably doesn't like to make friends with other people.
In this regard, Li Qing was naturally happy to be clean.
“The other cave is also a rogue cultivator with mysterious origins. He often likes to do strange things in the cave. Sometimes it happens that he doesn’t leave the cave for several months.”
"All in all, I have lived here for almost three years, and I can count on one hand the number of times I have seen these two people."
After listening to the introduction, Li Qingwei closed her eyes, feeling the abundance of energy around her. With the extreme aura of heaven and earth, I am already satisfied with the environment here and could not be more satisfied.
"Yes, I'm very satisfied!"
After saying this, they quickly found the disciple of the Tianhe Sect who was responsible for renting the Dongfu to external parties, and signed a sublease spiritual contract under his witness.
Li Qing looked at it carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem, he also left his own breath on the spiritual contract.
After doing all this, he smiled on the outside, but his heart was dripping with blood.
Nine hundred spiritual stones and a medium-grade magic weapon just flew away from his hands. At the same time, the other party also handed the prohibition token for entering the cave into Li Qing's hands.
At this point, Li Qing has a place in Tianhefang City.
"Haha, I'll say goodbye then, Fellow Taoist Erniu, we'll see you again in the future!"
Li Qing held the token in his hand, looked at the other person's leaving figure, and then came with satisfaction. Arriving at the cave.
"These restrictions are enough to hinder the detection of spiritual consciousness. Even if I travel to the polar night world in the future, others will not be able to find me!"
Continuing to walk inside, it is empty except for a few stone tables. Nothing remains except the stone benches.
“Not bad, not bad, it can be considered a move to a new home!”
Li Qing muttered to himself while walking around.
The structure inside the cave is very simple, consisting of a hall and three dark rooms. Of course, Li Qing can dig a few more dark rooms by himself if necessary.
The light inside was dim, so Li Qing directly took out the luminous pearls he brought from the world from his storage bag and embedded them on the wall.
Little bits of light shone out, and the surrounding area suddenly became brighter.
"There is a ready-made medicine garden, which is pretty good. It saves me a lot of effort. I can directly plant the spiritual seeds of the jade locust tree."
Another one The darkroom was surrounded by a wooden fence, with a pile of dirt in the middle, and it looked like it was dug quite deep.
Li Qing casually released a water purification technique to soak the soil, and then took out the jade locust tree spiritual seeds obtained from the trade fair.
This seed is dark brown in color, similar in size to a walnut, but its surface is round and full, and it is full of vitality inside. It is an active spiritual seed.
"Hurry up and grow up. My magical power depends on you!" Li Qing muttered, dug a deep pit in the soil, and then buried the jade pagoda spiritual seed.
After carefully filling in the soil, Li Qing once again released a water purification technique, completely soaking the spiritual seeds and soil together.
Although he doesn't know much about the art of spiritual planting, he still understands some of the most basic common sense.
After doing all this, he clapped his hands and came to another darkroom.
"Roar!"
A thunderous tiger roar resounded, and Fan Tong, who had been in the beast-control bag for a long time, was finally able to see the light of day again.
Although the beast control bag is specially made for monsters, the space inside is small and limited after all, and you will definitely feel uncomfortable if you stay in it for a long time.
Li Qing patted his head apologetically, and then said: "Okay, okay, I have been wronged during this period, and this house will be yours from now on."
"Ouch!"
It seemed that he felt the spiritual energy in the world around him. He immediately howled a few times and seemed quite satisfied.
Before, in the small courtyard of the Liu family, they, the casual cultivators, could only enjoy the edge of the second-order spiritual veins, and the spiritual energy was at most equivalent to the ordinary first-order spiritual veins.
Now, this is the Dongfu District of Tianhefang City. Under the influence of the Spirit Gathering Array, there is a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy gathering from the earth veins below.
Such a rich aura is already much higher than the center of the second-order spiritual veins.
Not to mention being a loser, even Li Qing was extremely satisfied.
Staying in this environment, he felt that every cell in his body seemed to be wandering in the ocean of spiritual energy, which was very comfortable and comfortable.
“Cultivating here is not only twice the result with half the effort!” Li Qing sighed, finally understanding why the Tianhe Sect rented these caves so expensively.
It’s really not simple!
It can only be said that the principle of expensiveness is not only reflected in cultivation, but also has certain benefits for him in studying weapon refining. He needs to use his own spiritual power to temper the magic weapon and engrave spiritual patterns. If he is in such a place with abundant spiritual energy, his spiritual power will recover faster.
In this way, he can also refine more magic weapons.
“You can’t waste time in such a treasured place!”
In the next year and a half, he must make reasonable arrangements and try to maximize the use of the rich aura of this cave. .
“I spent 1,200 spiritual stones at the trade fair, and now I only have more than 1,600 spiritual stones left on hand, which is enough for me.”
"After that, we have to repair the spirit boat for fellow Taoist Jiuxiao. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, we must try to complete it within half a month."
Li Qing was talking to himself in the cave while planning his next plan.
“After renting such a good cave, I had to put aside the stalls and other things for a while. After that, I spent a year and a half in seclusion in the cave to improve my cultivation and weapon refining skills. . ”
Soon, Li Qing had a rough idea of the future schedule.
The first is to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining. After reaching this level, his magic power will be more powerful. After that, he will focus on the weapon refining technique, and the progress will be faster.
In addition, he is moving towards the level of mid-grade magic weapon. Not to mention anything else, he has the weapon refining map with the water entangled snare, and he has to refine it no matter what.
Afterwards, combined with the experience of refining the water-wrapped snare, the dragon dagger was then completely tempered and inscribed, completely refining it into a true middle-grade magical weapon.
“As long as the dragon dagger and the water-wrapped snare are successfully refined, then I can almost be regarded as a refiner capable of refining mid-grade magic weapons!”
At this level, he The ability to earn spiritual stones will increase a lot, and he plans to go to the polar night world to capture strange beasts and put them in the Colosseum to fight to earn spiritual stones.
It is foreseeable that his ability to earn spiritual stones can be even better!
After listing the plans one by one, Li Qing left his cave, leaving only his rice pail inside to look after the house.
"Fellow Taoist Erniu, this is my spirit boat. There was a hunt for Taoist Lingmiao's cave before, and many of the spirit patterns on it were damaged."
Jiuxiao said, He took out his own spiritual boat.
This is an ice-blue spiritual boat, about the same size as a fishing boat. It can accommodate three or four people without much problem.
It can be seen that when refining this spirit boat, many kinds of precious spiritual materials were used, and together with the various spiritual patterns engraved in it, it has already begun to have the power of a high-grade magic weapon. .
Li Qing's eyes shone, and while stroking the spirit boat with his hands, he explored some traces of spirit patterns on it.
It's very impressive, definitely made by a famous artist.
The other party was able to find a weapon refiner of this level to refine the spirit boat for him, so the origin must be extremely extraordinary.
However, Li Qing was a little hesitant and hesitant.
"Fellow Daoist Jiuxiao, your spiritual boat is quite extraordinary. If I want to completely repair it, to be honest with you, I am not very sure, and it will take a long time. "
"If you are worried about wasting time, it is best to find the craftsman who originally made this spirit boat to repair it."
Li Qing told the other party his thoughts sincerely. He felt that if he came to repair it, he would probably waste his time. It would be better to give the other party two hundred spirit stones and seize the time to practice in seclusion. good!
But Jiuxiao shook his head and said: "Fellow Taoist, how long will it take?"
Li Qing raised his eyebrows. He originally wanted to say half a month, but looking at the other party, He doesn't seem to care about time or anything.
So he immediately took back his original words, and then said: "It will take at least half a year, and maybe even longer. If you are not willing to wait, fellow Taoist, I can give you the remaining two hundred The spirit stone will be returned to you now."
The next moment, Jiuxiao said loudly: "One year, I will give you one year, and then I will also prepare to retreat for a period of time. I will come back after one year. You take the spirit boat, and if it fails then, how about you give me another two hundred spirit stones?”
Hearing this, Li Qing thought to himself, this guy seems to have received a lot of benefits from Lingmiao Cave. It seems that he plans to spend a year digesting these things. It seems that he does not plan to go anywhere within this year.
But since the other party said so, Li Qing naturally has no reason to refuse.
“Okay, it’s a deal!”
“In one year, you can come find me at the cave on the far left of Xiaoxi Mountain in the Dongfu District!”
In this way, the two signed a spiritual contract, and then Li Qing took the other party's spiritual boat back to the cave.
"If it were one year later, I would be quite confident that this spiritual boat could be repaired successfully."
Li Qing groaned, then put it away and sat down cross-legged.
He took out a branch of spiritual wood as thick as an arm, which was exactly the branch of the jade locust tree he bought from Jiuxiao before!
“This jade locust tree is at least eighty years old, but it’s a pity that it’s not the main trunk. If it were the main trunk, maybe I could directly cultivate the Baomu Body Refining Technique to great success.”
< br>After finishing speaking, Li Qing shook his head and smiled, thinking that he was too greedy.
Cutting off the main trunk of a spiritual tree is tantamount to killing the goose that lays the eggs. Most people would never do this.
He was able to get a branch as thick as an arm this time, which was actually pretty good.
If it is really the backbone of the spirit tree, he will probably have to spend quite a lot of spirit stones by then.
Soon, Li Qing threw all these thoughts out of his mind, then focused his eyes and adjusted his state.
The next moment, he activated the secret technique of "Baomu Body Refining Art".
Through this secret method, he was able to sense the rich vitality contained in this jade locust branch. There was quite a lot of spiritual wood essence, far exceeding the spiritual willow branch he had used in the Liu family.
“Yes, these hundreds of spiritual stones are not a waste!”
After saying this, Li Qing began to absorb the spiritual wood energy from this jade locust tree branch, using To enhance one's own physique.
Wisps of invisible and colorless vitality were seen surging out from a branch in front of Li Qing, and then were taken into his body towards his mouth and nose.
After these spiritual wood essences were incorporated into Li Qing's body, he clearly felt that his physical body and rich blood had grown for the first time in a long time!
After becoming a martial arts master, his physical body has reached the ultimate level that can be improved by ordinary means.
Now, his physical body has finally begun to become stronger again!
