Chapter 250 Red Crystal
In the cave, Taoist Qingyang looked at the repaired bronze tripod with a look of satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad. I think Taoist Erniu's level of weapon refining can be called a master's degree."
Faced with Taoist Qingyang's praise, Li Qingke didn't feel at all arrogant. He knows he still has a long way to go.
"Senior, you are ridiculous. The damage to this cauldron is not high. I think any refiner can repair it." Li Qing cupped his fists and said.
"Hahaha, fellow Daoist Erniu, please don't be humble. Among the four immortal cultivation techniques of alchemy, formation, and talismans, weapon refining requires a lot of talent. Among casual cultivators, weapon refiners are the rarest."
This is the truth. At least Li Qing has not seen any other casual cultivator weapon refiners so far.
I have met a few alchemists and talisman masters, but weapon refining requires not only talent, but also a lot of resources.
Although it is a test of talent for a formation mage, many of the materials used to set up the formation can be reused. Even if the formation fails, the spiritual materials will not be damaged.
“It’s just a fluke.” Li Qing scratched his head honestly.
"Fellow Taoist Erniu, I already understand your purpose of coming here. It must be for the Foundation Establishment Pill, right?" Taoist Qingyang said with a chuckle.
Seeing that the other party pointed out his purpose of coming, Li Qing was very happy. He nodded and said: "That's right, Senior Qingyang, I am here to build the foundation."
"Although I have only entered the late stage of Qi Refining not long ago, I still have a heart for the Tao. I hope my seniors will not laugh at me for being too ambitious."
Li Qing's words were very sincere. And his tone was firm, making no secret of his desire to pursue the avenue.
"There is nothing funny about this. Who is not fighting for the journey to immortality?"
"Old Taoist, my qualifications are no better than yours. I had a narrow escape for a foundation-building pill."
There was a look of nostalgia in Taoist Qingyang's eyes. He is also one of the Four Spirits. There are very few people in the world of immortality who can successfully build a foundation with such mixed spiritual roots.
It is no exaggeration to say that his foundation building process was a narrow escape from death.
"Senior is really a role model for our casual cultivators!" Even if you try to flatter the other person, no matter what, it is always right to brag about the other person first.
Taoist Qingyang asked with a smile: "Hahaha, I'm going too far. How are you doing with the elixir for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
In the world of immortal cultivation, the recipe for the Foundation Building Pill is not a secret, and many alchemists have it.
Even many casual cultivators know that refining the Foundation Establishment Pill requires more than half of the auxiliary drugs.
It is never the recipe or the alchemist that limits the number of Foundation Building Pills, but the main medicine!
Whether it is the Fusion Fruit or the crystal core of a second-level monster, it is extremely difficult to find in the outside world.
Only in some extremely dangerous Jedi or secret realms, you may have a chance to get it.
"There are only some auxiliary medicines, including Xuanbingye, Star Anise, and Magical Heart Fruit."
Li Qing truthfully reported the types of elixirs he had and did not hide anything.
Although these materials are relatively precious, they are definitely not as difficult to find as the main medicine. It is not surprising that Li Qing can collect them.
“That’s right, my friend has been able to collect so many elixirs on his own, which is beyond the vast majority of casual cultivators!”
“Those few flavors that are missing Auxiliary medicine is not difficult to find. You can find it with a little effort. ”
After hearing Taoist Qingyang's words, Li Qing murmured slightly in his heart, all thanks to the gift from Taoist Gu Ming.
Of course, Li Qing will never tell the other party about this. After all, killing people and seizing treasures is ultimately disgraceful, even if he is trying to save Ye Feng.
And Gu Ming was also one of the members of the secret trade fair held by Taoist Qingyang, whose Taoist name was Mingguang.
Fortunately, Tianhefang City was later conquered by the Shangqing Sect, and the Secret Trade Fair was disbanded. Many members lost contact or died in the war.
Presumably no one would pay attention to the life and death of a casual cultivator like Gu Ming.
"Little friend Erniu, do you have control over the most important ingredient in refining the Foundation Building Pill, the Fusion Fruit or the second-level demon core?"
Facing Taoist Qingyang's words, Li Qing could only smile bitterly. He shook his head and said: "Senior, you overestimate me. I am just a casual cultivator. Let alone mastering such precious things, I have never even seen them a few times."
Taoist Qingyang nodded in understanding, and he said: "So what are your plans?"
Li Qing said quickly: "So I plan to entrust senior, if someone comes to you to refine it I want to take out all the auxiliary medicines to make a furnace with him. In addition, I will also compensate him with some spiritual stones or magic weapons."
The combined refining of the Foundation Establishment Pill is absolutely rare in the world of immortality. , Taoist Qingyang will naturally be familiar with it.
"Well, it's okay to keep an eye on it for you, but I have to tell you in advance that not many people have come to me to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill over the years. Even if there are one or two, they all have some background. Monks are rarely willing to refine a foundation-building elixir with others. "So you may have to wait a long time for this, and you may not even be able to wait for one for more than ten years."
Li Qing was indeed mentally prepared for this, and he said calmly: "I understand this matter, and I will also find a way to collect the main medicine myself in the future, so I will have to worry about it in the future! "
"It's not a big deal, it's just a little effort." Taoist Qingyang shook his head. .
In this way, Li Qing left Taoist Qingyang’s cave.
At this point, a way to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill can be said to have been opened.
The night was already dark, and when he returned to the courtyard, Li Qing's heart had calmed down.
“Next, we should pay attention to the news about the main ingredient of the Foundation Establishment Pill, but now is the time of chaos, so it’s not easy to run around.”
Li Qing looked at Ye Yue. Looking at the Qinghua Lake below, he couldn't help but sigh. Although the night view was beautiful, his thoughts were all on building the foundation.
“That’s all, let’s live in seclusion here for a year. It won’t be too late to collect them after the war between the two sects is over.”
As he spoke, Li Qing turned around and saw Fan Tong sleeping soundly in the courtyard.
“I’m living a comfortable life these days. I’m either eating or sleeping all day long.”
“I don’t know if I should work harder to practice and be promoted to the second-level monster as soon as possible, so that I can No need to worry about the main ingredient of the Foundation Establishment Pill!" Li Qing scolded with a smile. This was naturally a joke. Even if Fantong really advanced to a second-level monster, he would not be able to use his demon core to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. .
Besides, the cultivation of monster beasts too tests the bloodline qualifications. Basically, as soon as you are born, your bloodline determines the upper limit of your life.
The fact that Fan Tong could break through to the middle stage of the first level with such a mixed bloodline was achieved by Li Qing using a large amount of animal-nurturing pills. If there were no other opportunities, it would be basically impossible for him to reach the late stage of the first level.
Because even a black evil tiger with pure blood can basically reach the end of the first level. Only a few black evil tigers with extraordinary talents or good luck have the opportunity to advance to the second level. Monster.
Thinking of this, Li Qing patted his storage bag with his palm.
A red light flashed past, and soon, there were several red crystals dug out from the bodies of alien beasts in the polar night world in his hands.
These red crystals contain the secret power of the Red Moon, which is a power that can promote mutation, but the price is that it will become crazy and violent.
Just by holding these pieces of red crystal in his hands, Li Qing's consciousness could feel the chaos and madness contained in them. This was why he did not dare to feed his rice bucket with such red crystals.
But Li Qing tapped the storage bag again, and two more transparent red crystals appeared in his hands.
The madness and violence contained in these two red crystals have become weaker, and the cause of all this is Li Qing's blood.
Previously in the secret realm, in order to induce the alien beasts to break through the restrictions, Li Qing used his own blood and red crystal as bait.
Later, after the restriction was broken, two red crystals were stained with his own blood. Li Qing unexpectedly discovered that these two red crystals stained with blood no longer seemed to make people more confused. Crazy.
"It seems that blood can suppress the side effects of red crystal, but I don't know if animal blood is useful."
As he said that, Li Qing looked in the direction of the rice bucket.
Fantong, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt a chill down his spine. His body trembled, and then he opened his eyes and looked at his master.
"Ouch?"
"Hey, come here and let some blood flow." Li Qing grinned and conveyed his thoughts.
Fan Tong wailed, but did not resist. He honestly let Li Qing put a small bowl of bright red and rich tiger blood from his body.
"Ouch!"
"Okay, stop yelling, this is not for you. If animal blood can also suppress the side effects of red crystal, then so can you."
Before he finished speaking, Li Qing closed his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and even released his consciousness, carefully observing the changes in Chi Jing.
At this time, he had soaked a piece of red crystal in tiger blood, and saw that the bowl of tiger blood actually bubbled, as if it was boiling.
Soon, the madness and violence contained in the red crystal quickly dissipated, reaching a very low level, which can be said to be ignored.
“It really works!”
Li Qing raised the red crystal again and pointed it at the cold moon in the sky. The red crystal, still stained with tiger blood, seemed to become A little more transparent and bright.
“Although taking red crystal next may not make you lose your mind, once you ingest the secret power of the red moon, it is likely to cause you to mutate.”
“This kind of The mutation may be benign or malignant, and it may vary from animal to animal. You’d better think again whether you should take it or not!”
With that said, Li Qing handed the piece of red crystal that had been purified with blood to the rice bucket and clearly told it the pros and cons.
Through the seal of the blood contract between the two, Fantong also clearly felt the meaning conveyed from Li Qing's mind.
At this moment, Fan Tong’s head drooped and he seemed to hesitate, as if he was really thinking about this issue.
Li Qing didn't say much. This was the decision of the rice cooker. He would not interfere. The pros and cons had been clearly stated.
Although Fan Tong has been by his side for so many years, the relationship between the two is definitely not that of an owner and a pet. If anything, it is more like partners.
One person and one tiger depend on each other for life. From the secular world to the world of immortality, they have experienced many things along the way, and they have already become incomparably tacit.
No matter what decision Fantong makes, Li Qing will not interfere.
Even if it does not choose to eat the red crystal, he will find ways to find other spiritual objects for it in the future to help it advance or strengthen its bloodline.
Seemingly aware of Fantong's hesitation, Li Qing smiled gently and said:
"It doesn't matter, there is plenty of time, you can think about it slowly."
After saying that, Li Qing turned around and prepared to go back to meditate, but suddenly, Fan Tong grabbed his robe with his claws.
“Ouch!”
“Have you thought about it? You must know that so far, no monster has taken red crystal, even the purified ones!”
Feeling the thoughts conveyed by Fan Tong, Li Qing gave a serious persuasion.
“Ouch!”
The meaning expressed by Fantong was already very clear. It shook its huge body, and there was determination in its huge tiger eyes.
Having been with Li Qing for so many years, it knows that its strength has gradually failed to keep up with Li Qing. Maybe in the future, it will no longer be able to help Li Qing.
So it wants to become stronger and is extremely eager to swallow that red crystal. This is a desire originating from its bones.
Even if some distortions may occur after eating it, it doesn't care at all, it already thinks very clearly.
"You silly tiger, eat it." Li Qing handed the red crystal into the rice bucket's mouth, and then scratched its round head.
boom!
The moment the red crystal entered Fan Tong's mouth, Li Qing noticed that the blood in its body seemed to start churning, and he reacted immediately.
The changes, whether good or bad, have begun!
