Chapter 685: City of Giant Mushrooms
After giving his order to the sect, Li Qing did not leave immediately, but continued to meditate silently in the cave for a long time.
Time flies by and another three years have passed. No noteworthy events have occurred in the entire Qingling Territory, and the world of immortality is still peaceful.
During this period, Lingyun Sect held another Immortal Ascension Conference, and the size of the sect became much larger again.
Today's Lingyun Sect has more than 10,000 people in total. The disciples in the sect are not only spread throughout the Qingling Territory, but they also radiate their influence extremely far away. The Qingling Territory is surrounded by the Lingyun Sect. Further control is in hand.
The whole world returns to its heart, one call and hundreds of responses!
Coupled with the fact that there is a Nascent Soul Ancestor sitting in the sect, the Lingyun Sect now really has the momentum of an immortal overlord.
In the past three years, Li Qing has been focusing on cultivating the Fire Jade Queen Bee.
He continued to feed the Fire Jade Queen Bee with three spiritual fires without interruption for the past three years. In order to let her grow, Li Qing even did not hesitate to place the Fire Spirit Pearl in the Ruby Beehive.
Finally, just as he was about to leave, the Fire Jade Queen Bee finally showed signs of advancement!
"Falling into a deep sleep, this should be a sign that the Fire Jade Queen Bee has advanced."
Li Qing carefully observed the queen bee sleeping in the ruby jade hive. Through her powerful spiritual consciousness, He could see that the queen bee's aura was getting stronger while sleeping.
While the Fire Jade Queen was sleeping, the Fire Jade Bees in the entire hive were on high alert.
In other words, Li Qing has been next to the Ruby Beehive in the past few years, making these Fire Jade Bees accustomed to his existence, otherwise they will definitely regard Li Qing as their enemy.
Of course, Li Qing will not take the threat of ordinary Fire Jade Bees to heart.
In this way, after some observation, Li Qing determined that the Fire Jade Queen Bee's sleep should be a relatively long process.
When it wakes up, it will be a third-level spirit insect!
Such an existence can definitely give many monks in the alchemy stage a huge headache.
"Okay, little guy, just slowly fall asleep and transform. I will leave you in the cave."
After saying that, Li Qing did not forget to stay in Hongyu. A spiritual beacon is left in the hive. When the Fire Jade Queen wakes up from her slumber and her transformation is completed, she will receive orders from Li Qing.
That is to let the other party continue to develop in the hive after waking up. He left a lot of spiritual fire sources in the cave. In the future, when Li Qing is away, the Fire Jade Queen Bee will still have food.
After doing all this, Li Qing continued to activate several spiritual fires of heaven and earth, and sealed many sources of spiritual fire in the cave.
However, Li Qing estimates that the Fire Jade Queen Bee will not be able to eat so much of the spiritual fire source that he has sealed away, because it seems that this transformation will take at least several years, and he may not be able to eat it by then. Returned from the polar night world.
It’s just that Li Qing’s mana is now boundless, so he doesn’t need to worry about these consumptions.
After this, Li Qing planned to set off and return to the polar night world.
And it was at this moment that a solid aura suddenly rose up inside the mountain gate of Lingyun Sect.
Boom!
Li Qing, who was about to leave, was slightly startled, and then a smile appeared on his face.
“As expected of the holder of the Water Spirit Pearl, Su Xin has cultivated to the late stage of pill formation so quickly.”
Yes, this aura is that Su Xin is entering the stage of pill formation. In the later stage of Dan, it suddenly attracted the attention of many disciples of Lingyun Sect.
Judging from the stability of the aura, it should be a sure thing that Su Xin breaks into the later stage of the pill formation this time, and there won't be any surprises.
In this way, Lingyun Sect will be even stronger in the future. Even if Li Qing is away for a short time, it can continue to develop steadily. With the fourth-level formation guarding the mountain gate, it can be worry-free for a long time!
Li Qing felt relieved and could finally continue to explore the polar night world without any worries.
Before leaving, Li Qing called Fantong, who was resting at the foot of Qingyun Peak Mountain, back to the cave, and then put it back into the beast control bag.
Since you are going to the polar night world, it is natural that you have to go there.
Over the years, Fan Tong has been sleeping in the sect, digesting the energy of the beast spirit fruits in his body, and his temperament has become more and more lazy.
This time Li Qing went to the polar night world to see if he could find a few more opportunities for it. Even if it didn't work, he could kill a few third-level beasts and dig up the red crystals to feed his rice bucket.
Finally, he took out the black furnace for protection. After making sure that the protection was as comprehensive as possible, Li Qing entered the state of traveling between two realms for the first time in a long time.
Buzz!
After a slight spin, the surrounding scene became disillusioned and shattered like a bubble.
When Li Qing opened his eyes again, the scenery around him changed drastically.
The expected space turbulence did not come, which made Li Qing feel lucky in his heart.
Even if he is a monk in the Nascent Soul stage, he does not want to face such dangerous things.
After all, when he left the Extreme Night World, the Soul Devouring Realm he was in was collapsing and collapsing.
“It seems that the space turbulence formed after the collapse of the Soul Devouring Realm did not last long, but where am I now?”
The surrounding environment was extremely unfamiliar, not consistent with any place in the polar night world that Li Qing remembered.
This is not the rocky mountain range outside the Soul Devouring Realm. Li Qingchu thought that the space turbulence caused by the collapse of the spiritual realm destroyed the outside environment, but as he radiated his spiritual consciousness, he Then I was sure that wasn't the case.
He suspected that he was no longer even in Qiu Shan Domain!
This is a river valley area. Li Qing is on a high slope next to a large winding river. There are fine sand and gravel piled up on the river beach, which looks very desolate.
The most eye-catching thing is that from time to time, foreign objects jump out of the river. Li Qing used his spiritual sense to detect that these foreign objects are not fish, but half-rotten roots. .
These roots actually come from huge clams under the river. Whenever the clams open and close their shells, they will shoot these rotten roots out of the river, as if they are luring something.
At this moment, a night bat with three strange eyes flew in the sky. It tried to fly across the river to prey on foreign objects that jumped out of the river.
But before it could open its claws, the night bat was entangled in several rotten roots, and was dragged into the bottom of the river without any suspense, without even a struggle!
The next moment, this unlucky night bat was devoured by several strange river clams at the bottom of the river. Li Qing saw all this clearly with his spiritual consciousness.
“Where is this”
Li Qing subconsciously raised his head and made sure that there was still a red moon hanging high in the sky. If not, he even doubted whether he was still in the polar night world.
The red moon hangs high at night, it is the polar night world, but why did he travel here.
“When I travel between two realms, shouldn’t I return to where I left from?”
“It seems that the original space collapsed and formed turbulence. After that, even the positioning space coordinates disappeared into nothingness."
Li Qing muttered to himself, then patted the beast control bag and put the rice bucket out.
"Ouch!"
"Brother, I'm finally back!"
The rice bucket smelled the familiar scent in the air for the first time, and it soon knew that it had returned to the polar night world. The time gets exciting. "Well, I came here this time to see if I can find you some high-level red crystals to help you better digest the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fruits in your body." Li Qing said calmly.
Hearing that this time he was here to find high-level red crystals, the rice cooker became even more excited.
Although it has the help of the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fruit, its strength improvement is still a bit slow after all. After all, it is only a monster beast. Even if it obtains the inheritance and roots of the Sky Demon Tiger, it will not be able to improve its strength as quickly as the human race.
The biggest advantage of monsters is that they have a long life span, and improving their strength also relies on hard work.
But the emergence of Red Crystal in the polar night world has allowed De Fan Tong to break this restriction repeatedly.
Speaking of which, its lifespan is less than two hundred years. Even in the Demon Realm, such third-level monsters are extremely rare.
“But I haven’t figured out where this is and what the situation is. It’s best to be cautious and restrained.”
With that said, Li Qing sat on the back of the rice bucket and began to ride a tiger to explore this strange world after a long absence.
Under Li Qing's restraint, Fan Tong did not fly in the air, but ran on the ground.
However, during this process, the strong tiger power on the rice bucket was involuntarily released, making all the living creatures in the surrounding area tremble in fear, and they did not dare to show their heads at all.
Since inheriting the roots and heritage of the Sky Demon Tiger in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, Fantong has gained a unique pressure. This is the tyrannical aura belonging to the Sky Demon Tiger clan!
After running all the way through the river valley, there is a vast plain. However, there is no grass growing in the wilderness, only clusters of different mushrooms.
From time to time, there are some weak and strange beasts lurking underground, but because they are too weak, neither Li Qing nor Fan Tong is interested in them.
“It’s a little strange. After traveling so far, not only can’t you see any human traces, but you can’t even see a more powerful third-order beast.”
Li Qing frowned slightly. He wrinkled up. During this period, he kept his consciousness out, but was unable to find any useful clues.
Finally, after another extremely long journey, Li Qing finally understood why the surface of the earth was so inaccessible.
In the dark night sky ahead, a majestic and huge black shadow suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
Li Qing took a closer look and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
That turned out to be a mushroom that truly covered the sky and the sun. No, it should be called a mushroom!
Because even the majestic mountains and rivers seem a bit small compared with it, this mushroom rises from the ground, and its mushroom umbrella actually carries buildings after buildings, and the end is completely invisible at a glance!
The thin red moonlight falls down and shines on this giant mushroom city, making it look so absurd and weird.
Li Qing, who was sitting on the back of the rice pail, couldn't help but take a breath of air when he saw this scene.
He thought of the demonic willow tree in the Black Wind Territory. It was also huge, but the former was murderous, and any creature that came close would be killed by it and turned into nutrients.
As for this giant mushroom, there are buildings on it.
There are buildings, which means there are people there. This is a peculiar civilization.
After thinking for a moment, Li Qing decided to get closer and take a look, not only to inquire about the situation in this area, but also to satisfy his own curiosity.
Under the Mushroom City, individual hyphae drooped down and turned into a broad road connecting the ground to the sky above the Mushroom City.
However, this city has become a world of its own, and few people come here.
Li Qing was bathed in the blood moon, riding his rice bucket through the air, and finally approached the edge of Mushroom City.
He exuded his spiritual consciousness and after confirming that there was no reaction from the huge mushroom, he let the rice bucket slowly land on the mushroom umbrella.
After visiting it in person, Li Qing felt the hugeness of this mushroom even more. Even though he already had the cultivation level of Nascent Soul stage, he still felt a sense of insignificance in his heart.
“This Giant Mushroom City is quite interesting. The area in the city is divided by smaller mushroom trees.”
With this in mind, Li Qing continued to emit his spiritual consciousness, and he finally saw the first intelligent creature after returning to the polar night world.
It was a dwarf human race with bat wings. This bat man was carrying a huge wooden barrel and flying staggeringly in the air.
Li Qing did not make a sound to disturb the other party, but hid his body and secretly followed the bat man deep into the mushroom city.
I saw this bat man flying very hard all the way to an area covered by several mushroom trees.
Soon Li Qing was greatly surprised. These mushroom trees actually opened their eyes, and then moved amidst a roar.
Li Qing thought of an existence called a tree spirit, but he didn't expect to see a mushroom tree spirit here.
The mushroom tree spirit moved, opening a deep path for the bat-man. At this point, it was impossible for Li Qing to follow him silently.
But fortunately, he has spiritual consciousness and can extend an extremely wide distance.
As his spiritual consciousness spread, Li Qing saw that behind the cover of these mushroom tree spirits, there was a powerful third-level monster bound here.
This is a giant sheep with solid scales all over its body. The horns are like cast steel, and the texture looks very hard.
However, for such a powerful third-level alien beast, there were wounds all over its body. Some of the wounds had not even healed yet. Blood was constantly flowing out and soaking into the surface of the giant mushroom.
Rantong also sensed the presence of the third-level alien beast inside. It couldn't help but open its mouth and wanted to roar to express its fighting spirit, but was stopped by Li Qing.
But the giant iron-scaled sheep's perception seemed to be extremely keen. It seemed to sense the breath of the rice bucket, and then roared:
"咩!"
A voice The sheep screamed suddenly and loudly, frightening the batman who was very close to him and almost fell down.
"It's really strange why the alien beasts are so violent." The bat man complained, and then he tipped out the barrel he was carrying.
It contained a large number of flesh and blood spores. After the iron-scaled giant sheep sensed these spores, it immediately stopped roaring and chewed and devoured these flesh-and-blood spores.
The next moment, after these flesh spores were swallowed by it, a large amount of scarlet blood began to flow out from the unhealed wounds on the iron scale giant sheep again.
The blood was poured on the huge mushroom that supported the city, adding nourishment and strength to its standing.
Seeing this, Li Qing finally understood why the existence of powerful alien beasts has not been seen in this domain for a long time.
It turned out that he was captured and bound in this giant mushroom city, and became a blood slave providing animal blood.
