Immortal Refiner

Chapter 499 Golden Silkworm Cave

boom!

The blazing white cold fire of the netherworld exploded with unimaginable power at this moment, and almost instantly, it ignited the entire remnant soul of the ancient demon.

"ah!"

"Spirit fire specifically aimed at divine souls? Damn it."

The remnant soul of the ancient demon, whose whole body was ignited, let out an unwilling roar at this moment. No matter how hard he tried, he could not get rid of the cold fire, which was like maggots on the tarsal bones.

Soon, his remnant soul body shrank rapidly. In the blink of an eye, his entire soul body turned into fly ash and completely dissipated.

The remnant soul of this ancient demon, which had been suppressed for many years, is now in a state of near exhaustion. He is almost wiped out by the passage of time.

He has been dormant for so many years, and during this period he has encountered more than one sensory exploration by the spiritual consciousness of the monks in the Nascent Soul stage. He tried his best to prevent this place from being exposed.

It was not easy to find a monk who could detect the abnormality here. Unfortunately, that person was only a weak monk in the foundation-building stage, and his spiritual consciousness was unable to break through the spiritual suppression of the old ghost Xuanyang.

So he could only leave a message, telling the other party that without the cultivation level of the pill formation stage, he would not be able to break through the mark of divine consciousness, let alone get the nest of golden silkworms behind the stone tablet.

Finally, hundreds of years passed by in a blink of an eye, and he finally found a monk who was in the elixir formation stage, and his soul was extremely powerful.

But what he didn't expect was that the monks in this elixir-forming stage actually possessed the heaven and earth spirit fire that was specially designed to burn souls!

And his remnant soul, which was already extremely weak, could not withstand the burning of the spiritual fire, and it completely perished in an instant.

"Just die like that?"

Looking at the remnant soul of the ancient demon that had vanished into thin air, Li Qing's back was covered in cold sweat.

He knew that the reason why he was able to deal with the opponent so easily was probably not only due to the power of Nether Cold Fire, but more importantly, the fact that this demon had been suppressed for countless years and was already weak.

Not far away, Zhao Tianxiong, who had just been dropped from the air by Li Qing, flew over with a large golden sword under his feet.

"Master Li, did you destroy that demon?" Zhao Tianxiong's eyes widened, and he was extremely horrified.

The powerful remnant soul of the ancient demon just now was burned to ashes in such a sudden way, which was really unbelievable to him.

That is the great alien demon that has been suppressed since ancient times. Even if it becomes extremely weak now, it will not be wiped out so easily, right?

But now it was really happening. At this moment, his attitude towards Li Qing became even more respectful.

After seeing Zhao Tianxiong, Li Qing nodded slowly: "It's just a fluke. I happened to have a method to target the soul."

Soon, Li Qing changed the topic again and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, this time I was almost harmed by you, Fellow Daoist Zhao. The seizure of the body by an ancient demon is not that easy to solve."

"Do you think I saved your Zhao family once?"

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Zhao Tianxiong still felt a lot of apologies in his heart, feeling that he had tricked the man in front of him this time, Mr. Li.

But as soon as the other party said these words, he suddenly reacted, and then cold sweat broke out all over his back, and waves of fear emerged in his heart.

If he did not inform Li Qing of this news, but continued to pass on the information about this place to the subsequent successors of the Zhao family, the consequences would indeed be disastrous.

You can imagine that in the future, the Zhao family will finally train another monk in the elixir-forming stage, and on a whim, he plans to come here to conquer the golden silkworms.

But Jin Can hadn't seen it yet. After breaking through the mark of divine consciousness, he encountered an ancient demon who wanted to seize his body!

You must know that not everyone has Li Qing's method of targeting the soul. If a monk in the Danjie stage who was finally born in the Zhao family is caught off guard, his body is finally taken away, and the Zhao family is likely to face a disaster.

At the thought of this, Zhao Tianxiong clenched his fists, cupped his fists deeply and said:

"Zhenren Li, this great kindness will never be forgotten by the Zhao family!"

"From now on, the Zhao family will be led by Master Li!"

After hearing this, Li Qing waved his hand indifferently and said:

"That's all, let's go see if there are really golden silkworms in that cave."

"If you don't find golden silkworms, it would be great to get some golden silkworms."

After saying that, Li Qing flew back in the direction he had just escaped.

In the deep pit on the ground, a cave filled with evil energy has appeared.

Without the mysterious stone tablet set up by the ancient powerful monks to stop him, demonic energy continued to seep out of the cave at this moment.

The cave was very deep, and Li Qing hesitated for a moment before extending his condensed consciousness.

His consciousness penetrated deeply, and soon he saw many golden threads spread throughout the cave.

However, due to the infiltration of demonic energy, most of the golden silk has been contaminated by demonic energy.

Not only was the spirituality completely lost, but it was also glowing with a thick inky black color.

Obviously, these golden silks contaminated by demonic energy can no longer be used to refine magic weapons.

"Go in and take a look. There should be no remnant souls of other ancient demons inside."

The cave was just big enough for one person to go deep into. Li Qing looked back at the broken stone tablet and suddenly realized that the remnant soul of the ancient demon was probably suppressed in the stone tablet, not in the cave.

This is why the stone tablet exploded after the demon escaped.

As for the dense demonic energy in the cave, it should be the legacy of the demon head before his death.

Zhao Tianxiong, who followed closely behind, looked a little nervous. He had just used his spiritual sense to sense it, and naturally saw the situation in the cave clearly.

"These golden silks have been soaked in demonic energy." He frowned, feeling quite disappointed.

The fundamental purpose of their trip was for the golden silks. If they were all contaminated by demonic energy, it would be a wasted trip.

And judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that there will be no golden silkworms alive in the cave.

"It's okay, there are still some golden silks that have not been infected by demonic energy, which should be enough to refine the golden jade clothes."

His spiritual sense was much stronger than Zhao Tianxiong, and he immediately sensed the situation in the deepest part of the cave.

As he said that, he quickened his pace and went deep into it quickly.

Soon, the narrow tunnel suddenly opened up, and the space became spacious in an instant.

There was actually a naturally formed underground palace inside, with stone pillars standing in the cave, and the surface of the stone pillars was covered with golden silk threads.

Snap!

Li Qing snapped his fingers crisply, and a cluster of red flames burst out from his fingertips.

The dark underground palace was suddenly illuminated, and the golden silk threads also reflected golden light.

"Great, these golden silk threads are not contaminated by demonic energy!" Zhao Tianxiong's tone suddenly became excited.

With these golden silk threads, there is absolutely no problem in refining the golden jade clothes.

Zhao Tianxiong didn't need to say much nonsense, Li Qing had already started to collect them.

His strong mana surged out, and one golden silk thread after another was pulled down from the stone pillar and quickly fell back into his hands.

\u0026t;divtentadv\u0026gt;It didn't take long before he had a handful of golden silk threads in his hand. Although it looked like just silk threads, it was quite heavy, as if it was a real golden thread.

In the future, as long as these silk threads are refined according to the method on the Golden Jade Clothes Refining Atlas and fused with Warm Sun Jade Marrow, they will become an indestructible defensive magic weapon!

After collecting all the golden silks scattered throughout the underground palace, Li Qing casually divided a small part, which was almost enough to refine a golden jade suit.

He handed the ball of golden silk to Zhao Tianxiong, who looked terrified and shook his head repeatedly:

"Master Li, my Zhao family has already received your favor this time, but this golden silk cannot be taken anymore."

Hearing this, Li Qing chuckled and said, "Keep it. I will keep my promise."

The amount of golden silk harvested at the moment is quite considerable. To be honest, it is enough to refine seven or eight golden jade suits.

It doesn't hurt to share some with the other party. If you do everything with a clear conscience, you don't have to worry about being harassed by the inner demon in the future.

After hearing this, Zhao Tianxiong gratefully took the golden silk.

He understood that this time he had received a great favor.

This Li Zhenren not only helped his Zhao family get rid of a huge disaster, but also was willing to keep his promise and give him a golden silk.

With such a character, the Zhao family can definitely trust him in the future.

After collecting all the golden silk, Li Qing continued to go deeper into the underground palace.

Soon, several shrunken golden silkworm remains appeared in front of him!

Crack!

As soon as they were touched, these golden silkworm remains shattered and turned into dry powder on the ground.

Looking at all this, Li Qing frowned.

"There are only remains, but no silkworm corpses. Where are the golden silkworms hiding in the underground palace?"

As he said this, his spiritual sense spread out again and continued to be released.

But soon, his powerful spiritual sense was blocked by a wall, as if it was trapped in a swamp and could no longer spread.

After noticing this anomaly, Li Qing approached the wall that was not right.

He stretched out his hand and pressed it, and the wall broke with a sound. It was not as hard as expected.

Boom!

The whole wall collapsed with a bang, and then the real appearance inside was revealed!

It turned out to be a hollow dark room!

When Li Qing's eyes fell on the dark room, his whole body trembled slightly.

In the dark room, one after another golden silkworm eggs, round like pearls, piled up in a ball!

That's right, these are all golden silkworm eggs!

Zhao Tianxiong, who rushed over, also took a breath of cold air after seeing this scene.

"Hiss!"

"Could it be that these are all golden silkworm eggs?"

Even Li Qing, who has always been indifferent, showed a strong burning color in his eyes at this moment, and his breathing became slightly rapid.

Because there are so many golden silkworm eggs, a rough count showed that there are hundreds of them!

He quickly stepped forward to check, stretched out his trembling hand, and touched the golden silkworm eggs.

"No, most of the golden silkworm eggs have lost their vitality!"

Li Qing frowned, he originally thought he would get a lot of golden silkworm eggs, but the result disappointed him greatly.

He felt that the golden silkworm eggs he touched with his hands had lost their vitality, and some even shriveled.

The surface looked golden, but in fact, they had lost their vitality.

In this way, Li Qing opened the golden silkworm eggs stacked together one by one and carefully examined them.

Each of them was as big as a fist. Li Qing frowned. Whenever he turned out a golden silkworm egg that had lost its vitality, his heart sank.

"It's as expected. It's normal for these golden silkworm eggs to lose their vitality after so many years."

Zhao Tianxiong, who was standing aside and watching, said with some regret.

However, the next moment, Li Qing's frown finally relaxed.

Under this pile of silkworm eggs that had lost their vitality, there were still three that retained some vitality!

And the vitality was not weak, it could even be said to be a bit outrageous!

Obviously, the other silkworm eggs had become dead eggs, but these last three still had such a strong vitality.

"So that's it."

Li Qing whispered, he saw the key.

It turned out that the silkworm eggs that he had picked out and had died just now actually provided all their vitality to these last three.

"Yes, this is the only way to preserve the last three golden silkworm eggs intact for so many years."

After the words fell, Li Qing stretched out his hand, and the strong true energy in his body surged out.

He used his own true energy to pass into the last three golden silkworm eggs to ensure that their vitality could be maintained.

Three golden silkworm eggs! As long as they can be hatched, Li Qing will get three golden silkworms!

This is a well-known existence in the record of strange insects in the world. Although it ranks relatively low, only 96th, it is also a very valuable existence.

Many immortal forces, or some immortal cultivation families with a long history, will definitely have a strong interest in this.

Because once it can be fed with enough types of spiritual gold, the golden silkworm will have the opportunity to transform into a six-winged golden moth!

At this point, Li Qing's eyes showed satisfaction, and then he collected the three vigorous golden silkworm eggs together.

He had no intention of giving one to Zhao Tianxiong, because this was not in the prior promise.

On the side, Zhao Tianxiong did not show any disappointment, he knew that he had gained enough in this trip.

Not only did he solve a great threat to the Zhao family in the future, but he also harvested a ball of golden silk.

In addition, Li Qing would refine a golden jade garment of the best magic weapon level for him to save his useless son's life.

"Although I didn't see the living golden silkworm, it's not bad to harvest three eggs."

"Let's go, fellow Daoist Zhao, there is no point in staying here now, let's leave quickly."

After putting away the golden silkworm eggs, Li Qing had no intention of staying for long.

This ancient battlefield is still full of too many unknowns and dangers, leaving as soon as possible is the best choice.
