Chapter 650 Looking back at the past
At the old site of Lingyun Sect, the heavy snow completely covered the former sect buildings here, and there was no trace of the original existence of the Immortal Sect.
Because this place is a spatial node connecting the demon world, Li Qing ordered people to guard this place and prohibited other casual cultivators from practicing here.
Of course, if there are monks in the alchemy stage coming, that would be a different matter.
In that case, the disciples of the Lingyun Sect guarding this place will inform the other party of the information about the space node connecting this place to the demon world. If the other party still intends to practice here, he only needs to hand over a part of the spiritual stones.
Perhaps due to the current prestige of the Lingyun Sect, no monks have dared to come here to go against the rules until today, and no monks in the alchemy stage have ever appeared.
So the old site of Lingyun Sect was still extremely deserted. Except for a few disciples on duty not far away, no one could be seen anymore.
At this moment, a tall and tall figure silently landed in this place of high-level spiritual veins.
This person was none other than Li Qing. He completely restrained his aura, then released his consciousness to observe the surrounding scene.
Through his spiritual consciousness, Li Qing saw the dilapidated buildings buried deep in the heavy snow. They were all relics of the Lingyun Sect.
Li Qing slowly closed his eyes, and the previous scenes began to flash through his mind.
That was because he came here after going through many hardships and dangers. He successfully joined the sect with an Immortal Ascension Order and escaped the disaster.
That was when he took several foundation-building pills without being favored by anyone, and then completed the almost impossible foundation-building!
That was his step-by-step practice within the sect, painstakingly honing his weapon-refining skills, silently accumulating contribution points, and exchanging them for training materials.
That was when the sect encountered a crisis. The ancestors of the sect stood up without fear of life and death, fought against the demons, and protected the peace of the sect.
That was when the sect was destroyed. Patriarch Tun Tian desperately sent some Lingyun Sect disciples to the spirit boat, and finally died heroically here.
These scenes are still vivid in Li Qing’s mind.
At this moment, he only felt that his heart had calmed down for no reason, as if he had experienced a baptism.
"It's all over."
Li Qing sighed with a sense of sadness, and then bowed deeply towards the original mountain gate:
"Ancestor Tuntian, disciple Li Qing has rebuilt the sect on the ruins of Shangqing Sect."
"The blood feud of the sect has been avenged in full!"
After speaking, Li Qing was silent for a long time before slowly getting up.
Things related to the Lingyun Sect did not leave him with any mental regrets, but after coming here to reminisce about it, his heart still felt a lot more peaceful.
After doing all this, Li Qing's figure became slightly blurred and quickly disappeared.
After leaving the old site of Lingyun Sect, there are two roads ahead of Li Qing.
Either go south and cross the snow-capped mountains to the wilderness, where you can review your cultivation history.
Either he went all the way north and then west, that was all the things that happened before he joined Lingyun Sect.
“The situation in the Great Desolate Territory is now in chaos, and I have only left there a few years ago. I can remember everything that happened during that time clearly, but there is no need to look back.”
“And Foundation Establishment Before, I was a casual cultivator during my Qi refining period. During that time, I was cautious and humble. It is necessary to go through it again to see if I can find some of my original shortcomings.”
With that said, Li Qing took action, leaving the snowfield all the way north and traveling around the great rivers and mountains of the Qingling Region.
During the journey, he no longer flew at extremely fast speeds, and did not even activate the spirit boat. Instead, he began to measure the land on foot.
In this way, he visited mountains and rivers, saw all the beautiful scenery, and finally stopped at a place with strong spiritual energy.
“I vaguely remember that this place was where the Tang family was originally. It seems that due to the changes in the world, this second-level spiritual vein has also become somewhat extraordinary.”
Li Qing looked at the Tang family’s spiritual place and commented softly.
For the Tang family, this is naturally the best thing, because if this change continues, this spiritual vein may really have a chance to become a third-level spiritual vein.
But in that case, if the Tang family did not have enough strength, they might suffer a disaster.
Stand high and see far. With Li Qing's current level, he can naturally see at a glance some things that may happen in the future.
Soon, Li Qing thought of some of the things that had happened with the Tang family.
That was when he presided over the Lingyun Sect's Immortal Ascension Conference. The head of the Tang family had caused some trouble, but under the suppression of him and Shen Ningbing, the matter was quickly settled.
He had no intention of worrying about these things. To him now, these things were just trivial matters.
Besides, the Tang family today can be regarded as a vassal family of Lingyun Sect. There are many outstanding disciples in the sect who are also descendants of the Tang family.
"Although there is no need to specifically inform the other party that they may encounter disasters in the future due to their spiritual veins, we should still mention it."
As he said that, Li Qing released his own pill-forming stage. The monk's aura then blatantly swept his powerful consciousness across the entire Tang family's territory!
It all happened very quickly and ended very quickly, just in a blink of an eye.
After doing this, Li Qing's figure disappeared.
In the Tang family, many of the disciples with lower cultivation levels experienced a sudden and inexplicable feeling of palpitations, but that feeling quickly disappeared, as if they were hallucinations produced out of thin air.
But the monks who have reached the foundation building stage feel it quite clearly!
For example, the head of the Tang family, Tang Lushan!
While he was practicing in seclusion, he suddenly opened his eyes and his body was shaken as if struck by lightning.
"Who is it?" Tang Lushan shouted in shock.
Just now, he clearly felt an irresistible aura sweeping past him, and he was also clearly penetrated by a terrifying divine consciousness.
"A monk in the alchemy stage." Tang Lushan's face suddenly turned ugly.
Yes, he was sure that the aura just now was definitely that of a monk in the elixir formation stage, otherwise it would not have made him feel so frightened.
“Who could it be? The Supreme Elder of Lingyun Sect?”
"No, our Tang family's current relationship with the Lingyun Sect is not close, but it will never attract the attention of the Lingyun Sect's Supreme Elder."
The head of the Tang family eliminated the correct answer first. He continued to mutter to himself:
"Is it a monk from outside the realm? Recently, in the world of immortal cultivation, there are indeed some monks from the wilderness region who have come to take refuge."
"The spirit that my Tang family is sitting on The spiritual energy in the Pulse Land is becoming increasingly strong, and it may indeed attract the covetousness of monks in the Dan Formation Stage in the future."
"I thought this was a great good thing, but now it seems that it is not necessarily so."< br>
Soon, the head of the Tang family made a decision. He wanted to report the matter to Lingyun Sect!
At this point, only by tightly embracing the Lingyun Sect can the Tang family avoid these disasters in the future.
Li Qing, who deliberately tried to tease the Tang family, did not stay long and did not care at all about the subsequent thoughts and actions of the head of the Tang family.
For him, it is the most benevolent thing for him to be able to give a little bit of advice and make the other party realize this in time.
As for whether Tang Lushan could understand his intention, Li Qing didn't care anymore. In the following time, Li Qing continued to travel northwest.
On the way, he saw the Lin family's mansion.
The head of the Lin family, Lin Xiaonan, had a good relationship with him, so the relationship between this family of immortal cultivators and the Lingyun Sect was quite close.
This time Li Qing did not turn a blind eye, but went to visit the Lin family without hiding his identity.
Lin Xiaonan was naturally frightened by Li Qing's sudden appearance, and he was extremely panicked when he received him.
And Li Qing didn't stay long, he just stopped for a moment, exchanged simple greetings, and then left this family of immortal cultivators.
It is worth mentioning that Lin Xiaonan’s eldest son received a foundation-building pill from the Lingyun Sect, but unfortunately the foundation-building pill failed.
After being depressed for a while, Lin Xiuzhu returned to the family and took over some of the family's properties.
However, with the Lin family's current fortune, it would not be difficult to get another Foundation Building Pill for him, so the path is not completely cut off.
As for Lin Ya, she is still practicing quietly in Lingyun Sect, accumulating the sect's contribution in order to obtain a Foundation Building Pill.
Whether the foundation can be successfully built in the future depends on her luck.
After bidding farewell to the Lin family, Li Qing headed northwest again.
This time he returned to the territory of Lingyun Sect and came to Liang Kingdom.
There are two very famous immortal cultivating families in the Liang Kingdom, the Zhong family and the Lu family!
It was also the heads of these two aristocratic families who caused a lot of trouble to Li Qing in the Qi refining stage.
Li Qing had already discussed these two aristocratic families before the opening ceremony, so he had no idea of visiting them.
Nowadays, the Lu family and the Zhong family have learned a lot and have been keeping their tail between their legs in the Liang Kingdom. They are no longer as high-profile as before.
All the way deep into the Liang Kingdom, Li Qing finally stopped at a wild forest mountain stream.
The water in the lush forest was gurgling, and Li Qing walked forward inside. From time to time, a flock of birds would be frightened by his footsteps.
Soon, he came to the top of the cliff of the stream, where there was a crack in the earth.
Deep in the fissure, masses of pink miasma gathered inside.
"Huh? All the Tianyu flowers in the Earth Fissure disappeared without a trace?"
Li Qing looked at it for a while, and then scanned the entire interior of the Earth Fissure with his spiritual consciousness, making sure that there was no trace of anything inside the Earth Fissure. After something worth noting, he took back his consciousness.
The Heavenly Desire Flower is a strange flower, and it is extremely valuable to demon cultivators who practice both acacia and joy.
However, if this flower falls into the hands of other monks, it can only play the role of some high-quality charm potions.
Now Li Qing doesn't care so much about this flower. He just came here to remember some of the ridiculous things that happened here.
"Haha, it's all over. I was able to successfully build the foundation, thanks to that second-level white ape."
Putting down some things in the past, Li Qing left again .
This time, he did not continue to stay in the Liang Kingdom, but headed westward, directly to the area where the Tianhe Sect was.
Tianhefang City!
Yes, this market still exists, and it is still one of the most prosperous markets in the entire Qingling Region.
However, today this city only retains the name of Tianhe Sect, but it has actually become a cash cow for Lingyun Sect!
Here, casual cultivators and cultivating families from many surrounding areas all gather here and conduct transactions here.
If we talk about the level of prosperity, it is even more prosperous than before.
It’s just that as the city becomes prosperous, it is destined to breed some dark sides.
For example, the existence of Jie Xiu!
In fact, Lingyun Sect is already doing its best to deal with these calamity cultivators. In the sect affairs hall, you can often see tasks about defeating calamity cultivators.
It’s just that most of these calamity cultivators evolved from rogue cultivators and are very good at concealment and disguise, so tracking them down is extremely time-consuming and laborious.
Existences like this are destined to be impossible to completely eradicate.
Of course, these robbery cultivators are also very rational. Naturally, they do not dare to offend the majesty of Lingyun Sect by committing crimes near Tianhefang City.
Often, if they want to attack some casual cultivators, they will follow them from a distance and wait until they are sure they are far away from Tianhefang City before they choose to attack.
No, Li Qing, who had chosen Tianhefang City as his next stop, witnessed a chase with his own eyes.
"Cao Xiu, where else can you escape? You offended several surrounding immortal cultivating families because of a Foundation Establishment Pill, and now who can protect you?"
"Hand over that mysterious animal skin scroll, and I might be able to give you a happy reward!"
In the dense forest outside Tianhefang City, two monks wielding magical weapons, one in front of the other, A chase and escape drama ensued!
It is worth mentioning that both of them were monks in the foundation-building stage. However, the young man surnamed Cao who fled quickly in front had a slightly depressed aura and was obviously traumatized.
As for the monk who was chasing after him relentlessly, he had a ferocious face and his tone was full of murderous intent.
Cao Xiu, who was fleeing in front, ignored him at all. He was not someone who would be easily captured!
"Okay, okay, I want to see if you can escape the pursuit of the Fire Jade Bees like me!" The Foundation Establishment Stage monk who was chasing behind him finally didn't want to delay it any longer.
He sacrificed a strange bag of spiritual insects.
Soon, from the fiery red spiritual insect bag, a group of fiery red poisonous bees with jade-like bodies flew out in a buzzing manner.
When the monk named Cao Xiu saw this scene, his face darkened.
Of course he knows how powerful these fiery red wasps are. This is the Fire Jade Bee, a kind of spiritual insect recorded in "The Record of Strange Insects of Heaven and Earth"!
The individual strength of this insect is average, but it is superior in numbers. Once it appears, it forms a large group!
The poisonous needle behind the tail of each fire jade bee contains intense fire poison.
If one is stung, the pain of being burned by fire will continue to appear at the wound. One or two stings are fine, but if there are too many stings, even a monk in the foundation-building stage will be instantly engulfed by fire poison and die.
On the other side, Li Qing narrowed his eyes and watched this scene in amazement:
“Tsk, I have to say that the aura environment in Qingling Territory is indeed great now. Things have changed, even the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage have become tribulation cultivators.”
“And those fire jade bees seem to be a kind of spiritual insect recorded in "The Record of Strange Insects of Heaven and Earth", I guess. I remember that the ranking is quite low.”
“I just don’t know if this person only has some Fire Jade Bees, or if he has a Fire Jade Queen.”
While Li Qing was muttering to himself, he did not forget to observe the foundation-building monk who was being hunted.
This person looked familiar to him, as if he had seen him somewhere.
"Could it really be that kid?"
