Chapter 524 Breakthrough
“Senior Wuji, this small spirit gathering array has been set up. Although this array does not have the effect of locking spirits, it can draw the spiritual energy around the entire spiritual peak into you. In the cave. "
"In addition, this small spirit gathering array also left a formation eye to open the spirit stone according to your request, which is here."
Bai. In Li Qing's cave at Lianfeng, a rather young-looking monk in the foundation building stage pointed to the location of the formation on the ground with an expression of respect.
Yes, in order to make the spiritual energy in his cave more abundant, Li Qing hired a second-level array mage from outside and set up a small spirit gathering array in his cave.
This is not the kind of large spirit gathering formation that covers a wide area, nor is it the kind of spirit gathering formation in the southern wilderness that has the effect of locking the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
He only needs to have his cave covered by the spirit gathering array, so it is more than enough to invite a second-level array mage to arrange it.
Li Qing looked around his cave, looking at the array flags planted in every corner and the spiritual materials buried there.
"The effect is good. I can feel that the spiritual energy from the outside world has begun to be drawn and gathered."
Li Qing nodded with satisfaction, and then he took two spiritual stones. Come out and throw it into one of the formation holes.
Buzz!
Soon, under the action of the formation, the spiritual energy in the two spiritual stones was extracted at an extremely fast speed, and finally dissolved into the air, making the spiritual energy in the cave a little more abundant. point.
"Senior Wuji, as long as you are satisfied! If there is nothing else, I will leave now!" This young formation master is quite smart and did not even mention charging the spiritual stone fee for setting up the formation.
But Li Qing is not the kind of monk who likes to owe others things. He frowned slightly and said: "Wait a minute, I will give you all the spiritual stones that are arranged in this formation."
As soon as these words came out, the young formation master immediately said with sincerity: "How dare you accept the spiritual stones from your seniors? It's just a small spiritual gathering array. I didn't exert any effort at all, so the spiritual stones are not needed. ”
Not only did Li Qing show no joy at this, but he also showed some displeasure.
Having been born in two lifetimes, he understands very well that free things are always the most expensive.
This guy doesn’t collect spiritual stones here just because he has other plans. Maybe there will be even bigger troubles for him in the future.
Li Qing doesn't want to see that kind of thing happen. He just got a large number of spiritual stones from the storage bag of the red-haired master, and he currently has no shortage of spiritual stones.
So it is best if you can use spirit stones to solve the problem, so as not to make this little guy feel that you owe him a favor.
"You'd better keep this spirit stone, lest outsiders think that I, Master Wuji, bully the weak."
"Cultivation in the foundation-building period is not easy. Not only do you have to buy various pills to increase your magic power, but you also have to collect pills in the future. How can spiritual objects not be short of spiritual stones? "
"What's more, if you continue to practice this way in the future, you will spend more on spiritual stones."
"You should keep these six middle-grade spiritual stones, and don't be humble to me anymore."
Li Qing's words were well-founded, and in just a few words, this young formation master was no longer interested. Continue to decline.
In fact, the latter also understood the additional meaning of Li Qing's words, that is, Master Wuji did not want to owe him any more favors, and the debt had to be settled clearly.
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey. Thank you, Senior Wuji!" The man smiled bitterly and finally accepted the spirit stone given by Li Qing.
The reward of six hundred spiritual stones is definitely quite generous. According to the formations he used to arrange for others, even if he produced all the formation materials himself, the reward would only be about four to five hundred spiritual stones. .
Now, just by setting up a small spirit gathering array, he got 600 spirit stones. This is definitely a good deal.
"Senior Wuji, I will say goodbye then. If there is anything that needs maintenance in this formation in the future, feel free to come to me!"
"No matter if there are any problems with the formation within five years, I can maintain it for the seniors, and there is no need to charge any spiritual stones."
After saying that, the young formation master took the six yuan given by Li Qing The middle-grade spiritual stone left.
This is the formation master. Unlike the alchemist or the weapon refiner, what he does is not a one-time deal.
Although generally speaking, as long as the formation is operating normally, there will rarely be any problems.
But after all, the world is moving. The seasons change, and we go through all kinds of ups and downs. Once time goes by, there will always be some minor problems.
Therefore, the formation master can also earn a fortune in spiritual stones by helping people maintain and repair formations.
This is also a way for formation masters to accumulate connections. If you stay in one place for a long time and help people arrange more formations, you can earn a lot of energy just by maintaining formations for others. stone.
After the Spirit Gathering Formation was first formed, a considerable amount of spiritual energy had already gathered in Li Qing's cave.
The aura is even richer than usual!
Feeling the abundant spiritual energy around him, Li Qing was still not satisfied. He took out hundreds of low-grade spiritual stones from his storage bag, and then threw them all into the formation eye.
Buzz!
The spiritual stone melted away, and a large amount of spiritual energy continued to escape, making the spiritual energy in the cave a little more intense!
Although it is still not comparable to the spiritual veins of the Ghost Sword Sect, there is no particularly big gap, and it is definitely enough for Li Qing's daily practice needs.
“It’s not bad, but the only drawback is that it consumes more spiritual stones.”
“If it weren’t for the more than 30,000 spiritual stones funded by the red-haired Taoist friends, such extravagant expenses would be impossible. , I’m afraid it’s a bit unaffordable.”
As he spoke, Li Qing couldn't help but sigh.
There is really no way. Although the civilization of cultivating immortals in the Great Wilderness Region is extremely prosperous and there are many spiritual vein places in the entire great region, those truly superior spiritual veins basically already have owners.
If you want to practice in that kind of place, you must either join a powerful Immortal Sect or seize other people's territory.
Li Qing is not able to consider these two options, so he can only improve the spiritual environment of the cave by consuming spiritual stones.
“Next, it’s time to get down to business!”
The reason why he has made so many preparations is because Li Qing still has a lot to do next.
First, let the rice cooker advance!
Li Qing also has a third-order red crystal on hand, and Fan Tong has been waiting for a long time since returning from the polar night world.
If you think about it, it’s almost time to advance.
Without the help of Chi Jing, I am afraid that I would have to wait until the year of the monkey to get the opportunity to advance.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Qing released the rice bucket from the beast control bag.
"Ouch!"
The shrunken rice bucket is still very powerful, showing the aura of a real ferocious beast from head to toe, which is heart-stopping.
But in front of Li Qing, it is still a very well-behaved pet.
"I know you have been longing for this red crystal for a long time, and I hope you are ready."
Li Qing's expression was quite solemn. It was never easy for a monster to advance.
The dangers he had to face were no less than when he formed the elixir, and were even more difficult. After all, monsters are very particular about their bloodline!
If the bloodline is not strong enough, the hope of advancing to a high-level monster is extremely slim.
As for relying on red crystals to advance, the level of danger is a little higher, because you have to face the impact of the strong evil energy in the red crystals.
The evil spirit contained in it is really too strong. Even if you pour some blood on it, it won't be able to remove much of it. You can only bear it through forcefully.
If you can't bear it, your mind will fall into madness and become the same as the strange beasts in the polar night world, without any difference.
But if you get over it, the sea and the sky will be brighter, and a brand new world will be open to you!
"Ouch!" The rice bucket roared very resolutely, and it had no reason to back down.
Listening to the powerful roar that could shake the entire spiritual peak, Li Qing nodded slowly, and then took out the last red crystal on his body from the storage bag.
The dark red crystal core is extremely strange. Just looking at it makes you feel lost.
"Since you have already thought about it, I won't say any more."
"I can't help you much on this road. You have to rely on yourself for everything. Once you move forward, you can't look back."
After saying that, Li Qing put down the fist-sized red crystal and placed it in front of Fan Tong.
After many warnings, Fantong seemed to understand how severe the test he would face this time was.
Its fierce tiger eyes stared at the red crystal on the ground, and then without hesitation, it swallowed it in one gulp.
"Crack!"
In an instant, even Li Qing, who was a bystander, felt a feeling of palpitations at this moment. The secret power of the Red Moon that was slightly leaked almost made him feel nervous. had a slight impact.
Boom!
A breathtaking aura wave came from the tiger body of the rice bucket, and then spread quickly.
The transformation is about to begin! Li Qing calmed down his inner emotions, and then began to set up layers of strict restrictions in the cave.
These restrictions are used to isolate the aura fluctuations caused by the rice bucket. He does not want outsiders to know that there is a monster here that is sprinting towards the third level.
Of course, at the end of the day, once the rice bucket really succeeds, the news will definitely be difficult to cover up.
But as long as we can hide it now, that’s as long as it takes.
Soon, the restriction to isolate the aura fluctuations was first established, and it was no longer possible for the outside world to feel the aura of Li Qing's cave, unless one's cultivation level was much higher than that of Li Qing.
"Hoho!"
After swallowing the red crystal, Fantong lay on the ground and began to roar.
The roar was filled with thick ferocious emotions, and the wildness and madness that belonged to the monster in his heart were completely inspired by the third-order red crystal.
During this process, Li Qing kept staring at the rice bucket, keeping his attention on it, for fear that something might happen to it.
Once something was wrong, he would naturally not just watch as Fan Tong fell into madness and lost his mind.
At this time, the spiritual energy in the cave is very strong, which is a suitable environment for monster beasts to transform and break through.
Li Qing added dozens of spiritual stones to the formation's eyes with his backhand, so that the place would continue to have abundant spiritual energy.
Soon, a more domineering transformation began.
The sounds of broken bones came from the body of Fantong, which made people feel palpitated.
This is not over yet. The dark red fur of Fan Tong has all turned into black at this moment, and not even a trace of red can be seen.
At this moment, it completely transformed into a black tiger, its entire body as black as ink, as if it wanted to merge with the darkness in the cave.
This was not over yet. Li Qing, who was watching, suddenly discovered that there were bursts of Yin Qi in the black fur of Fantong.
“This crystal core was taken from a Yin python. Could it be that this red crystal also carries some of the characteristics of its owner during his lifetime?”
If this continues, wouldn’t it be true? It means that the rice bucket will transform into a Yin tiger next, full of Yin energy.
Li Qing still knew too little about these transformations, and he had no chance to do more research.
So at this moment, he doesn't know whether this transformation is good or bad for the rice bucket. It can only decide for itself.
Just like Li Qing warned before, after embarking on this path, the loser can only rely on himself.
The Yin Qi on Fan Tong's body became stronger and stronger, and its pair of strange-colored tiger eyes also began to transform at this moment.
The pupils, which were previously black and red, turned dark again at this moment, as if there was an abyss in the tiger's eyes.
This was not over yet. Li Qing suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a little bit of madness building up in Fan Tong's tiger eyes.
Obviously, this third-order red crystal has begun to affect Fan Tong's sanity.
Seeing this, Li Qing couldn't help but clenched his fists.
Everything has a price. If you want to rely on red crystal to gain power more easily, you have to bear its huge negative effects.
The crystal cores removed from the third-level beasts are no longer something ordinary monsters can bear. Their bloodline is not strong enough, and accidents may happen at any time.
Whoosh!
On the tiger's palm of the rice bucket, sharp claws like barbs suddenly popped out.
The hard rock floor in the cave seems to be more fragile than tofu at the moment, and it can be easily penetrated by the claws of the rice bucket.
Several deep claw marks appeared on the rocky ground, which clearly shows how powerful the lethality of Fantong's claws is now.
"Roar!"
Fantong roared, the meaning of madness getting stronger and stronger, and its voice was filled with pain.
In this regard, Li Qing could only stand by and watch. The only thing he could do was to add a few spiritual stones to the formation's eyes to keep the spiritual energy in the cave rich.
In the blink of an eye, this transformation has lasted for several days. The yin energy on Fan Tong's body is getting stronger and stronger, and the madness in his eyes is getting stronger.
If Li Qing had not stood in front of it, anyone else would have been torn apart by the claws of the rice bucket.
But this transformation is still going on, and Fan Tong’s sanity seems to be reaching its limit.
At this moment, Li Qing could even feel that a large amount of the secret power of the Red Moon was overflowing in his cave.
Fan Tong, who was about to reach his limit, looked at Li Qing with something wrong.
Li Qing is no stranger to this. He has slaughtered countless strange beasts in the polar night world, and this look is the same as those of those strange beasts.
Li Qing's heart was shaking slightly, and his knuckles turned white from being pinched.
Recalling the scenes he has experienced in this life, Fantong has always been by his side.
Is it really the end now?
Li Qing stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to stop Fan Tong from continuing to transform. He could not accept that such a partner had completely lost his intelligence and turned into a strange beast that only knew how to kill.
However, Fan Tong, who still maintained a trace of clarity in the end, also sensed what Li Qing meant. He shook his tiger head and growled in rejection:
"Ouch! Ouch!" ”
It has its own stubbornness. Now that it has embarked on this path, it naturally refuses to stop here.
In that case, not only will the success be defeated, but even the foundation will be extremely seriously damaged, and the hope of future advancement will be even slimmer.
Transformation cannot be interrupted!
The meaning of rice bucket is quite clear.
Li Qing heard the rejection in its roar, and he did not reach out his hand in the end.
"How about forget it. When I succeed in my cultivation in the future, I will definitely find treasures from heaven and earth for you to help you pass this level."
"Level 3 The secret power of the red moon contained in the red crystal is still too heavy, and it is difficult for you to digest it completely with your current bloodline.”
Li Qing whispered, looking at the stubborn and stubborn rice bucket, he was deeply moved in his heart.
Obviously his bones are inferior and his bloodline is mediocre. The reason he has been able to reach this point is his stubbornness and ruthlessness.
"Speaking of which, you are really a bit like me. Although your qualifications are mediocre, you still want to continue to climb up."
"I think when I brought you back, you didn't As big as a cat, who would have thought that you could reach this stage?"
"A third-level monster can run rampant in this world, right?"
As he spoke, Li Qing slapped Fan Tong's body, and then said in a deep voice:
"Come through, I won't allow you to fall down so early."
"In In the future, we will see more scenery and experience more wonderful things in the world of immortality!”
“This is not over yet. One day, I will take you to ascend to the upper world. The journey is still long.”
“How can this mere predicament stop you and me?”
As he spoke, Li Qing's tone trembled a little. He felt that the rice bucket seemed to be reaching its limit. Its bloodline was simply not enough to support it in completing such an exaggerated transformation.
Strictly speaking, the bloodline of monsters has far greater restrictions on itself than the spiritual roots of human cultivation.
For ordinary monster bloodline to achieve a more powerful realm, it is definitely more difficult than reaching the sky.
If Fan Tong really fell into madness at this moment, Li Qing asked himself that he would not be able to kill it with his own hands.
So he has been preparing. As soon as Fan Tong completely falls into madness, he will find a way to knock it out and seal it.
He just didn't know what kind of harm it would cause to Feng Tong. Just the words "transformation failure" were serious enough.
Finally, Li Qing saw that the last trace of clarity in Fan Tong’s pupils was drowned by madness.
It's like a small sailboat on a rough sea, covered by huge waves.
"Roar!" A ferocious roar resounded from the cave, shaking the entire Bailian Peak!
