Immortal Refiner

After the situation in Shengtian was settled, the Wu Dynasty fell into complete chaos.

The various grassland tribes brought by Tuwahar were naturally unwilling to be defeated and returned to the grassland.

The imperial city could not be defended, and these tribes from the grassland retreated to Yunzhou, and they also became a considerable force.

However, without Tuwahar to provide them with life-saving talismans, facing the constant assassinations of Fengguo warriors, such resistance would not last long.

The restoration of Feng Dynasty is just around the corner.

...

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Li Qing. After killing Tuwahar, he got the immortal token and "Tuyuan Jue" and retired to the blacksmith shop again.

No matter how chaotic the situation in the world and the martial arts world are, he doesn't want to pay more attention to it.

A month passed quietly. Li Qing, who had been comprehending "Tuyuan Jue" during this period, felt a little numb on his scalp.

Because he hadn't gotten started for a month, this method of cultivating immortals was much more difficult than he had imagined.

"The gap between the immortal way and the martial way is so big." Li Qing sighed, wondering if he really didn't have spiritual roots and couldn't cultivate immortals.

However, Li Qing didn't give up. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and he had a lot of life to try slowly.

During this period of time, he forged a lot of sophisticated weapons. Although they were not magic weapons, the quality was quite good.

Thinking of this, Li Qing glanced at his remaining lifespan, and the number of 178 was clearly visible.

Yes, by forging those weapons, his lifespan not only did not decrease, but also increased slightly.

In addition to the five years of life that he had gained from successfully forging the Wandering Dragon Dagger, he can now live to over 200 years old!

The only problem is that forging an ordinary weapon now can only increase his lifespan by one month.

Fortunately, he still has a small piece of meteorite iron from outer space, which is the remaining after forging the Wandering Dragon Dagger.

There is not much weight, only the size of two fists in total, it is impossible to use it to forge weapons, you can only grind some out each time, integrate it into the bone-penetrating nail, and forge it into a deadly hidden weapon, the death nail!

Li Qing, who has been comprehending the "Earth Yuan Jue" for such a long time, is a little sleepy at this time, and is about to close his eyes and sleep for a while.

However, not long after, he keenly heard extremely subtle movements coming from the beams of the house. If he was not a martial arts master, he might not be able to detect it.

Hearing this movement, Li Qing just smiled slightly, and did not open his eyes, but still kept his eyes closed and pretended to sleep.

Soon, a hand quietly touched the snow-silver dragon dagger on his waist.

Snap!

In the dark, Li Qing slapped the movement of the thief's hand accurately and neatly.

"You guy, you don't comprehend the Earth Origin Art properly. You've been trying to take some things from me for a month. This time, you even tried to steal my Dragon Dagger."

"If you do it again, I'll have to chop off your hand."

Li Qing's tone was not very angry, but rather a little teasing. Obviously, he knew who this thief was.

"Hehe, Brother Li, you are so boring. You've become a martial arts master, but you're still staring at that immortal cultivation technique all day long. You're still awake at this time."

"Did you just comprehend the Earth Origin Art?"

The person who spoke lit up the oil lamp in the blacksmith shop as he was familiar with it, while scolding, illuminating the room.

At this time, Li Qing also opened his eyes and looked at the man in front of him.

Yes, it was Ning Yuan, the star-picking thief he rescued from the palace a month ago.

After the two came out of the palace, their relationship improved a lot. They were not close friends, but there was no problem drinking together.

Ning Yuan was holding a jar of Li Qing's favorite winter plum wine, sitting on the table by himself, pouring a glass for himself and Li Qing respectively.

"Come and try it, this jar of winter plum wine is aged, at least thirty or fifty years old, and is regarded as the treasure of the Taoyuan Restaurant, and it is not sold. It took me a lot of effort to get it here."

Looking at this familiar posture, people who don't know would probably think that Ning Yuan is the owner here.

Li Qing couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw this, but he still sat down honestly, wanting to taste this jar of aged winter plum wine, what it tasted like.

"You guy, don't you remember the lesson in the palace? You always do some sneaky things." Li Qing teased.

At this point, Ning Yuan bared his teeth and said, "Damn, who knows that the dog emperor of the grassland would actually set up a trap in his secret vault, and he is not afraid of hurting himself."

"And who said I didn't learn from it? Look at what this is!"

As he said, Ning Yuan spread out his collar, revealing a layer of soft armor inside.

Seeing this scene, Li Qing couldn't help but laugh, thinking that this guy is really a living treasure.

What he called learning from it is not to give up stealing, but to wear an extra layer of protective armor when stealing.

In this regard, Li Qing didn't know what to say, but just helplessly persuaded: "It's not easy to get such a book of immortal cultivation. It is something that many emperors dream of. You don't practice well, and always waste your time on this. It's a pity!"

In fact, after their relationship improved, Li Qing didn't mind letting Ning Yuan copy a copy of the "Tu Yuan Jue" and let him practice with him, so that they could be companions.

However, Li Qing would definitely not return the so-called immortal token to him. Anyway, Ning Yuan also stole it from the Jiulian Sect, so he had no psychological burden at all.

At this point, Ning Yuan's expression dimmed a little, but soon returned to normal.

"Alas, who said I don't want to cultivate immortality, but just a few days ago I understood the practice method, and followed the instructions to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and tried to refine the energy into the body, but there was no feeling of so-called refining energy at all."

"Maybe, I should be a person without spiritual roots."

"Forget it, forget it, you can't cultivate immortality without spiritual roots, and I'm too lazy to try. What, you haven't given up yet?"

Faced with this question, Li Qing didn't feel embarrassed to say that he hadn't even started yet, and he hadn't even started to try to circulate the small and large Zhoutian according to the practice method.

"Ahem, maybe it's because the spiritual energy here is so thin that it's so hard to sense it?" Li Qing said tentatively.

"It shouldn't be, I may just not have the spiritual root aptitude, but it's also normal, didn't you say that people with spiritual roots are rare?" Ning Yuan said nonchalantly.

"Okay, okay, let's drink."

All of a sudden, the two of them clinked their glasses, and the strong aroma of wine filled the room, which was quite intoxicating.

The slightly tipsy Ning Yuan cursed: "This damn Taoyuan Restaurant is definitely exaggerating, the age of this winter plum wine is at most ten years, it is definitely impossible to be thirty or fifty years old."

Li Qing didn't care at all, but took advantage of the alcohol to ask Ning Yuan openly and secretly how he operated the skills for a cycle.

Finally, Ning Yuan also heard something wrong, looked at Li Qing and said, "Brother Li, you haven't understood this technique yet, have you?"

"There are only four levels in total, and you haven't even entered the first level yet?!"

In response, Li Qing had no choice but to nod and admit the fact that his comprehension was relatively poor.

This made Ning Yuan feel a little incredible, thinking that a great martial arts master, his comprehension was so poor? !

But then he thought of Li Qing's high talent in forging weapons, and forging magic weapons was just a piece of cake for him.

Thinking of this, the arrogance that had just arisen was dispelled.

People are indeed different.

"Come, I will teach you, calm your mind and sink your mind into your body..."

Ning Yuan immediately used his internal force to dispel the drunkenness, and instead became Li Qing's guide, teaching him how to run a Zhoutian according to the technique.

According to what Ning Yuan said, Li Qing recalled the contents recorded in the "Tu Yuan Jue" and understood a lot at once.

"How is it? Can you sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?" Ning Yuan blinked and asked curiously.

At this time, Li Qing had no intention to respond to him, because his mind was completely immersed in the operation of the "Tu Yuan Jue".

Suddenly, he noticed that there seemed to be a trace of magical substances around his body, surging towards his body meridians.

This should be the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? !

Li Qing was surprised and happy, and almost broke away from the state of cultivation, but soon calmed down and refined these spiritual energies like heaven and earth energy into the meridians, and then gathered them towards his dantian.

After a long time, after a week, he could clearly sense that his dantian had indeed gained a little more mana.

Although it was a little pitiful, even negligible, it was indeed obtained through his cultivation of the "Tu Yuan Jue"!

He has magic power, he has spiritual roots, he can practice this immortal cultivation technique!

Thinking of this, Li Qing's breathing became rapid, and he almost couldn't help crying.

Damn, after working hard for a month, I finally got started!

God really rewards those who work hard!

Li Qing slowly opened his eyes, his expression became a little complicated.

Seeing this, Ning Yuan asked tentatively: "How is it? Have you sensed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? Can you refine the energy into your body as the technique says?"

"In fact, it doesn't matter if you can't sense it. You are a martial arts master now. If you don't have the so-called spiritual roots, you don't have them. It's so free to be a martial arts master in the world!"

"At worst, this immortal cultivation technique will be passed on to future generations to see if the younger generation can..."

Before he finished speaking, Ning Yuan found that Li Qing's expression was a little wrong, and he tried to ask again: "You can't practice it, right?"

In response, Li Qing just smiled and said nothing.

"You deserve to die!"

Ning Yuan, who was hit by the blow, probably knew what this meant. He was so angry that he kept cursing the thief God for being so unfair.

Why can someone have such an outstanding talent in martial arts and become a master at a young age? Moreover, he is so good at ironmaking that he can forge the peerless magic weapons that ordinary people can hardly find!

That's fine, but this person also has the legendary spiritual roots that can be used for cultivation.

Even though Ning Yuan has always been able to be open-minded, he couldn't hold it anymore.

The gap between people is really too big!

"Ahem, Brother Ning, thank you for your guidance today." Li Qing said with a cough.

However, Ning Yuan's face showed an expression of despair, and he didn't know what to say to comfort himself.
