Chapter 651 Both sides suffer
Li Qing, who continued to pay attention to the pursuit and escape, was not in a hurry to take action. At this time, he focused most of his attention on the man named Cao Xiu. On young people.
After a while, Li Qing finally confirmed that this person should be the little kid Cao Xiu who was in Qinghuatan!
Although his appearance has changed greatly, Li Qing still found some similarities with his memory from his eyebrows and facial features.
"This kid, after so many years of absence, has already established a foundation. He is in good fortune." Li Qing nodded.
Of course, his cultivation progress is actually faster. When he and Cao Xiu parted ways, he was just a casual cultivator on the ninth level of Qi refining period.
Now in a blink of an eye, he has reached the perfect level of cultivation in the alchemy stage, and his status has undergone a huge change. From the casual cultivator who worked step by step back then, he has now reached the top of the Qingling Territory. .
Although he recognized Cao Xiu's identity, Li Qing still did not choose to take action.
He wanted to see if Cao Xiu had gained any abilities after not seeing him for so many years. At the same time, he wanted to secretly observe whether the foundation-building monk who used the Fire Jade Bee could produce more fire. Jade Bee.
Buzz! Buzz!
A large number of red poisonous bees gathered into a group and followed Cao Xiu closely. From time to time, one or two poisonous bees rushed out and landed on Cao Xiu, stinging him with their tail needles.
"Damn it, there are too many of these Fire Jade Bees. They cannot be contained!" Cao Xiu's face was as dark as water, and his expression was quite solemn.
He did not strike down the two Fire Jade Bees that landed on him, but let them sting them.
Because Cao Xiu understood that once he was contained, more Fire Jade Bees would be waiting for him.
If we were caught in a tight siege at that time, not even gods would be able to save us.
The next moment, the two Fire Jade Bees on Cao Xiu's body stung the poisonous needles mercilessly.
"Hiss!"
Suddenly, severe pain came from Cao Xiu's back. It was a pain like the skin being burned by fire. It was so painful that it hurt his heart!
However, Cao Xiu only took a breath of air and did not slow down his escape, and even flew a little faster.
If you lift up his robe, you can see that the skin behind Cao Xiu that was stung by the jade bee is already red.
This is a sign that fire poison has entered the body. If not treated in time, the wound will be repeatedly burned by the intense pain of the fire.
And when the fire poison accumulates to a certain extent, even monks in the foundation building stage will die immediately.
Of course, doing so is not without some cost.
The two fire jade bees that had just stung Cao Xiu seemed to have lost all their strength and fell into the air.
Like most common bees, the jade bee has barbs on its tail stinger. Once stung, its tail stinger will remain at the wound.
Without the tail needle, the life of the Fire Jade Bee would have come to an end.
So there is still a certain price to be paid for activating these spiritual insects.
Li Qing, who had been observing all this, nodded secretly:
"Well, I have a good heart. I was stung twice by the Fire Jade Bee, but I can still endure such a burning drama. Pain, continue to escape as fast as possible."
"However, the man behind him is very restrained and frugal in his use of Fire Jade Bees, which can obviously allow many Fire Jade Bees to swarm forward and quickly resolve the battle. , but he released them one by two to harass Cao Xiu.”
"It seems that this person does not have the Fire Jade Bee Queen. He should just be lucky and get a batch of Fire Jade Bees."
Li Qing shook his head with regret, but after thinking about it, this is actually the case. Very normal thing.
Ordinary foundation-building monks are not that capable of subduing a Fire Jade Queen Bee!
The concepts of subduing some Fire Jade Bees and subduing a Fire Jade Queen Bee are completely different.
In the case of the former, the Fire Jade Bee will be used less and less, and there will always be a time when it will be exhausted.
But the meaning of the latter is very different. The queen of the Fire Jade Bee can continuously lay eggs and hatch out more Fire Jade Bees.
As long as sufficient nutrients are provided, controlling a Fire Jade Queen is equivalent to controlling a Fire Jade Bee colony, and there is no need to worry about losses at all.
Furthermore, the Fire Jade Queen Bee can also lay queen eggs and queen eggs. The former is a Fire Jade Bee species with more significant combat power, and is extremely outstanding in both attack and defense.
As for the queen bee egg, when the fire jade queen bee reaches the end of her life, she will gather all the essence and spiritual power in her body to lay a queen bee egg. The bee colony continues.
Each Fire Jade Bee queen can only lay one queen egg in her lifetime.
If the queen bee encounters an accident and fails to lay the queen bee eggs in time before her death, then the world will really be missing a fire jade queen bee!
This is also the reason why the number of Fire Jade Bees is so rare in the world of immortality today.
After watching for a long time, Li Qing confirmed that there should be no Queen Bee in the Foundation Stage monk who was chasing Cao Xiu.
I saw that Cao Xiu's figure in front was already shaky. In just a short while, he was stung by several Fire Jade Bees.
The fire poison spread in his body. It seemed that Cao Xiu had reached his limit and might collapse at any time.
The robbery cultivator behind him said ferociously: "Cao Xiu, you are really tolerant. It cost me eight Fire Jade Bees and you still haven't fallen down."
"But you are so patient." You can stop here, as long as you can get the picture scroll recording the location of the Fire Cliff Cave, these losses will be nothing."
After saying this, this robbery cultivator finally had no intention of saving Huo Yu. The number of bees.
He gritted his teeth cruelly, and with a slight thought in his mind, most of the Fire Jade Bees rushed towards Cao Xiu.
This is the plan to exchange the life of Fire Jade Bee for Cao Xiu’s life! Obviously, he made a lot of determination.
Because of the character Cao Xiu showed just now, he felt vaguely afraid.
When he first subdued the Fire Jade Bee, he really experienced how unbearable it felt to be stung and the fire poison entering the body!
But Cao Xiu was stung by eight Fire Jade Bees one after another without falling down. This kind of ambition already made him feel a little afraid.
If he were allowed to escape today, the consequences would be really unimaginable!
He didn't want to see this happen, so he was ready to nip the big trouble in the future in the bud.
"Go to hell, Cao Xiu, be careful in the next life, there are some things that you cannot get your hands on!" The robbery cultivator's eyes suddenly became fierce.
Li Qing, who has been observing secretly, is already preparing to take action, intending to save Cao Xiu at the critical moment.
But just when Li Qing raised his hand, he slowly lowered it.
At this moment, Cao Xiu, who was extremely depressed, suddenly turned around. In his hand, there was a golden flying sword.
I saw a large number of Fire Jade Bees covering him, and he was about to die!
Soon, a sharp metallic spiritual power surged out.
“Jin Jue’s Breath Killing!”
Whoosh!
The dazzling golden light suddenly converged into a sharp blade.
The large number of Fire Jade Bees that rushed towards Cao Xiu in front were directly chopped into pieces and exploded like a pile of ruby fragments.
Jie Xiu, who thought he had a chance to win, suddenly contracted his pupils. He didn't expect that Cao Xiu had such a terrifying trump card.
He wanted to avoid it, but it was a little too late. He deliberately kept a certain distance from Cao Xiu because he expected that Cao Xiu would fight back before his death.
But he did not expect that the counterattack at this desperate moment would be so fierce.
The golden blade cut through the air at an extremely fast speed. It was difficult for the naked eye to capture its trajectory. The speed was extremely fast.
The next moment, this golden sharp edge split half of his body, and blood exploded in the air all over the ground.
Wow!
Subsequently, the vitality of both of them was rapidly disappearing, and their breaths were quickly weakening.
Bang! Bang!
Two figures fell into the dense forest below, making a dull sound. Li Qing, who had watched all this in secret, was a little stunned at this time. He was also shocked by Cao Xiu's desperate slash.
It wasn't that the golden blade just now could threaten the monks in the Core Formation Stage. The reason why Li Qing was surprised was because of the desperate blow just now, even if he was in the Foundation Stage, he might not be able to follow through unharmed.
"After three days of separation, I am really impressed by this boy Cao Xiu."
Li Qing muttered to himself, and then rushed towards the direction where Cao Xiu fell. Naturally, he was I won't just watch the other person die.
In the dense forest, the ferocious-looking Jie Xiu lay on the ground, and the blood flowing from his body dyed a large area of land red.
His chest was heaving violently, and each time it rose and fell, it brought up a large amount of blood. It was obvious that he could not survive.
Seeing this Jie Xiu who was only half-breathing, Li Qing's consciousness reached out and broke through his sea of consciousness effortlessly.
When a person is about to die, the remaining memory fragments in the sea of consciousness quickly dim, and there is not much effective information that can be extracted.
However, Li Qing still extracted some key memories from his sea of consciousness.
“That Huoya Cave, there seems to be a fire jade bee hive?”
“When did there be such a place in Qingling Domain? I have never heard of it”
Li Qing's eyes flickered slightly, wanting to go to the Fire Cliff Cave to have a look.
A fire jade bee hive means there is a queen bee inside!
This is a spiritual insect of extremely high value, and it cannot be compared with two batches of Fire Jade Bees.
Even if he is now at the perfect level of cultivation in the Dan Formation stage, he will still feel a little moved by it.
Of course, the most important thing right now is to rescue Cao Xiu.
Not far ahead, Cao Xiu was lying under a big tree.
Seemingly sensing someone approaching, he moved his fingers, but was unable to make any more movements.
At this time, Cao Xiu was already breathless and might lose his breath at any time.
‘Is it going to end?’
‘Mom, this worthless child, I’m coming to see you.’
'I'm really unwilling, my path is nothing more than this. Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.'
Cao Xiu, who was about to die, thought of this sentence. This sentence meant a lot to him. His path has had an extremely far-reaching influence, allowing him to rise from humble beginnings and build a successful foundation as a casual cultivator.
Suddenly, a tall figure appeared in Cao Xiu's blurry vision.
This figure and the figure in his memory vaguely overlapped, as if they were hallucinations before death.
“The poison of fire has invaded the internal organs and bone marrow, and it is really difficult for even gods to save it.”
"Fortunately, you are lucky enough to have met me. With such an injury, other monks at the stage of forming pills might not be able to do anything about it."
Li Qing shook his head slightly, and then put his hand on his. On Cao Xiu's body.
At this time, his body was like a cooked shrimp, redder and redder!
Boom!
The next moment, Li Qing activated the two heaven and earth spiritual fires in his body at the same time!
The soul-devouring demonic flames swept out and directly invaded Cao Xiu's body under the control of Li Qing's thoughts.
The scorching black demonic flames swallowed up the fire poison in Cao Xiu's body, and pulled out the fire poison from every inch of his flesh and blood, even the fire poison that penetrated into the bone marrow was no exception. , all were swallowed up.
But the Soul-Eating Demonic Flame is the heaven and earth spirit fire that Li Qing has conquered after all. Even if he can suppress it, the temperature is extremely high. If it stays in Cao Xiu's body for a long time, it will always cause some irreversible damage.
So he activated the Netherworld Cold Fire at the same time, using the coldness of the Netherworld Cold Fire to neutralize the high temperature of the Soul-Eating Demon Flame.
After a long time, under Li Qing's treatment, the last trace of fire poison in Cao Xiu's body was removed.
However, he was severely injured. Not only was the fire poison eroding his body, but all the mana in his Dantian Qi Sea was also consumed.
Cao Xiu, who was still unconscious, was holding an empty sword hilt in his hand. The golden blade on the hilt had disappeared.
I think it was Cao Xiu's last blow before his death. He was able to possess such power at the cost of sacrificing a magic weapon.
“Forget it, I’ll save people to the end. It just so happens that I’m also interested in the Fire Cliff Cave.”
As he said that, Li Qing lifted Cao Xiu up, and then We found a deserted natural cave nearby and lived in it.
After treating Cao Xiu's injuries for a while, Li Qing quietly waited for him to wake up.
But at this moment, the accompanying Bailing Taoist Lord flew out from among the green and gold fragments of the fairy spirit.
The slightly illusory figure of Dao Lord Bai Ling looked at Cao Xiu's appearance carefully. The more he looked at him, the more complicated his expression became, with a mixture of surprise and a bit of regret.
Before Li Qing could ask curious questions, Lord Bailing was the first to speak:
"What is your relationship with this little guy?"
Li Qing answered straightforwardly: "A junior I once knew wanted me to accept him as my disciple, but at that time my cultivation was still shallow and I had too much time to take care of myself, so I didn't agree."
"In the end, I I just passed on the two-hand weapon refining inheritance to him, and then I never saw him again."
After hearing this, Lord Bailing sighed softly, and said: "This person is really worth mentioning. I am a little tempted, I want to pass on my mantle to him."
"But his spiritual root qualifications are too poor, which makes it difficult for me to make up my mind."
Li Qingwen. After speaking, his eyelids twitched slightly, Cao Xiu had the qualifications of three spiritual roots, and the five elements lacked water and soil.
This kind of spiritual root qualification cannot be said to be good, but it is definitely not close to bad.
Li Qing, who only has four spiritual root qualifications, feels a little ashamed.
Seemingly aware of Li Qing’s thoughts, Lord Bailing sighed softly, and then said leisurely:
“In a sense, your innate spiritual root qualifications are actually more important. He's better than this guy."
"It would be fine even if he has five spiritual roots or four spiritual roots, but he has three spiritual roots. It's really difficult to deal with it."< br>
These words made Li Qing a little dumbfounded and confused.
"Senior, what do you say?"
"Isn't the spiritual root qualification of a cultivator based on the fewer spiritual roots the better?"
"The best The first is the Heavenly Spiritual Root, followed by the Different Spiritual Root, followed by the Second Spiritual Root and the Third Spiritual Root. By analogy, the Five Spiritual Roots are the worst qualifications."
"Why. Will my qualifications be better than his? ”
Li Qing humbly asked for advice. What he just said was some of the most basic common sense in the world of immortality.
But what Daojun Bailing said just now somewhat broke some of his perceptions.
