Immortal Refiner

Xiaocuiling is the most extensive mountain forest in the entire Maple Kingdom. Its terrain is so dangerous that it can be called a natural chasm!

"Ouch!"

A ferocious tiger roar sounded from the forest, startling all the birds in the forest.

I saw a huge tiger walking from the trees, carrying an innate aura of a king, which was very impressive.

However, the next moment, the tiger actually made a flattering gesture towards a figure sitting cross-legged on a huge rock in front of him, and kept licking the young man's cheek with his tongue.

It doesn't look like a wild and untamed tiger at all, it's so docile that it's jaw-dropping.

"Hey, you little guy, you told me I was refining my qi, so don't bother me all the time!"

The figure sitting cross-legged on the boulder is none other than Li Qing.

"Ouch!" Fan Tong lay on the ground, exposing his belly covered with snow-white fluff, looking flattering.

Seeing this, Li Qing had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and rub its soft belly.

"It's been a while since I last saw you, and you've gained weight again, you loser."

After all, Li Qing's expression did not show much rebuke, but was rather satisfied.

He was convinced that Rice Tong was indeed not an ordinary beast, but a fierce tiger with the blood of monster beasts. Otherwise, he would not have grown so strong.

It's a pity that in the past few years, apart from being relatively edible, this hot product has never shown any magical features in front of him.

"Okay, go away and play by yourself." Li Qing drove the rice bucket away, sat up cross-legged again, and started to run the Earth Element Art.

It has been more than a month since I returned to Xiaocuiling. As Li Qing expected, the spiritual energy here is indeed much richer than that in Shengtian.

In comparison, after one day of refining Qi here, the mana that can be accumulated is three times that in Shengtian.

"In a few more years, maybe we can reach the first level of the Qi Refining Stage." Li Qing said to himself with satisfaction.

When you reach the first level of Qi refining, you can then try to practice a few exclusive small spells recorded in "Tu Yuan Jue".

Among them, the two small spells called Earth Wall Technique and Earth Thorn Technique made him look forward to it the most. They could directly use their own magic power to change the terrain. These were truly magical spells, not some blind trick that could only be done with skillful hands.

Although the power may not be very strong, it is enough to make Li Qing excited.

...

As winter turns to spring, the snow in the mountains and forests melts one after another, and the snow water soaks the ground, making the mountain roads rugged and difficult to travel.

Of course, for Li Qing, this change in terrain is nothing to him.

But the muddy mountain road does have some impact on my mood.

During this period of time, he has not only been practicing hard, but also looking for traces of the immortal world in the mountains and forests. It would be best to find a cultivator who is not high in cultivation and has a good heart to inquire about it.

It's a pity that this mountain forest is too vast, and the primitive scenery is rich, as if it will never end.

At the beginning, Holy Lord Tuwahar sent more than 10,000 soldiers and horses but failed to cause much waves. Although he was a martial arts master, it was obvious that he could only look back and sigh.

"Forget it, it's time to go back to the polar night world to explore. Maybe you will gain more in Giant Rock City than here."

Li Qing said sadly, then patted the rice bucket beside him and took it with him.

The world was spinning, and the surrounding scenes were changing like flowing water.

Not long after, a cold and dark world reappeared in front of Li Qing's eyes. .

"Ouch~" Fantong howled in dissatisfaction, looking like he was about to become listless again.

Li Qing frowned slightly when he saw this. Even though he was already considered an immortal cultivator, he also felt that this world seemed a little uncomfortable.

He closed his eyes subconsciously and sensed the aura of heaven and earth around him.

The perception that came back caused Li Qing to open his eyes suddenly, showing an expression of extreme astonishment.

"There's... no spiritual energy here?!"

How could this happen? There was no spiritual energy at all here. It was simply unbelievable to him.

You must know that in Shengtian, although the spiritual energy is very thin, it is not completely extinct, at least it can still exist within the perception.

However, the polar night world he was in did not have a trace of spiritual energy. Let alone refining qi, refining the northwest wind was almost the same.

"It's broken. I wanted to use the three times the flow rate here to practice. I didn't expect that there isn't even spiritual energy here."

Li Qing pursed his lips, and his mood fluctuated slightly. It was not a good feeling to have his plan disrupted.

"No, if there is no spiritual energy, then wouldn't there be no immortal cultivators?"

"Then who is the person behind the Red Fish Chamber of Commerce?!"

All of a sudden, many questions emerged from Li Qing's heart, leaving him puzzled.

"No wonder Fan Tong has been listless since he got here. It's not surprising that he would be like this in an environment without spiritual energy."

Li Qing glanced at the rice bucket lying on the ground and shook his head in amusement.

Soon, he discovered that the mana he had cultivated in his Dantian Qi Sea was still there. Although it was still only a small amount, it was indeed still there.

This made Li Qing feel a little relieved, thinking that even if he couldn't use the time flow here to speed up his practice, he could still use it to practice spells in the future.

"Hey, let's go out and find out the situation first... It's almost been more than ten years since we said goodbye, right?"

Speaking of this, Li Qing suddenly felt a little embarrassed. In order to avoid the two inner strength warriors in the city, he ran back to Shengtian directly.

At that time, both City Lord Qin and the president of the Red Fish Chamber of Commerce were very old. In order to leave a stable foundation like Juyan City to their descendants, they would never allow any warriors of the same level who would threaten their status to appear.

Jia Dachun, the former leader of the Dahe Gang, was a good example.

Before he left, he also asked Miao Qi and the leader of the Sand Crocodile Gang, Kelloda, to secretly help keep an eye on the movements of the Red Fish Chamber of Commerce in order to find out about the mysterious man behind it.

"Now that so many years have passed, I don't know if they still remember me..."

He didn't have much hope for this. It was normal for people to forget him after more than ten years.

So, Li Qing left the listless and reluctant glutton in the blacksmith shop of Juyan City and went out alone.

Now that he has become a martial arts master and has four talismans to protect his life, he no longer needs to be as timid as before.

Over the past ten years, a thick layer of dust has accumulated on the door of the blacksmith shop. When he opened it, the dust shook off and made Li Qing cough a few times.

Li Qing still vaguely remembered that this street was called Luoshi Street.

He walked out of the door and found that several houses around his blacksmith shop were closed, and a stone tablet symbolizing prohibition was erected nearby.

Before Li Qing could speak, a stern rebuke suddenly sounded on the street:

"Hey, where is the blind thing? This is the forbidden area of ​​our Qing Gang. Outsiders are not allowed to come here!"

I saw a street urchin who was squatting nearby, walking over with a bad look.

Qing Gang?

Li Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that it was a new gang that emerged in recent years? He had never heard of this gang name before.

"I remember that several houses here were bought by the Yi Gang, right?"

"Hey, you even know the name of our Qing Gang's predecessor, that's not easy." Street Friend said with a smile.
