Immortal Refiner

Chapter 587 Hejianfang City

I'm afraid this place is a little weird!

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Shangqing Sect to leave such a spiritual energy-rich place unattended!

Thinking of this, Li Qing frowned, but he couldn't figure out why.

"Forget it, now that the Shangqing Sect has not been destroyed, it is unrealistic to rebuild the mountain gate in advance. We can only abandon it for the time being. It is best to understand the situation first!" Li Qing whispered to himself and made Made a decision.

Although he really wanted Fatty Wu to place the remaining disciples of Lingyun Sect here, the situation was not clear yet, so he could only make this safe decision.

"Senior Brother Li, what should we do next?"

Shen Ningbing on the side asked softly after observing for a while.

In response, Li Qing slowly said:

"Go north to the Liang Kingdom and go directly to the Shangqing Sect's territory to investigate."

This is the simplest and most effective way. You can always gain something by exploring the surrounding areas of Shangqing Sect.

In this way, the two of them flew side by side towards the north, crossing the familiar mountains and rivers, and headed towards the location of Shangqing Sect at high speed.

Ever since, in a certain teahouse in Hejianfang City.

After taking the jade piece, a flash of light flashed in the depths of Zi Qing's pupils, and then he pretended to be grateful and said:

"I see. I admire Xu Zuoshi's magnanimity, so I'll thank you in advance."

As soon as these words came out, the other monks showed unnatural expressions.

The journey was a bit long, and the two of them kept hiding their auras and figures along the way, revealing their foundation-building stage cultivation from beginning to end.

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked in from outside the teahouse. He pinched the beard above his lips and walked in with his big belly as if he was pregnant with Liujia.

For no other reason than to go out to sea and catch a spiritual fish, the benefits can be huge.

"We are now in a period of rare calm in the Endless Sea. It is the best time to go out to sea to catch spiritual fish. Without my approval, anyone who dares to go out to sea without permission will be seeking death!"

Of course, calm weather does not mean absolute safety. If you encounter a sea monster, it is also an extremely dangerous thing.

There are a large number of casual cultivators gathered here, planning to make a living.

With that said, Xu Zuoshi took out a piece of sea-going voucher from his arms and distributed it to the monks present who bought the Enlightenment Spirit Tea.

Master Ziqing clasped his fists solemnly.

If you want to get news and intelligence, this place is obviously the best choice.

However, a tea guest next to him reminded him in a low voice:

"Is it possible that the foundation-building elder of the Shangqing Sect can deceive guests like this?"

"Haha, since you all are willing to give me the honor to come here to drink my Enlightenment Spirit Tea, then naturally you are indispensable for the certificate to go to sea."

"Haha, fellow Taoist, keep your belongings. Although Wuyahai is flat for the first time, it is still full of dangers. Remember to be careful, don't lose your life at the mouth of the sea monster!" Xu Zuo said with a smile. A piece of jade was handed to Master Ziqing.

"I've met Xu Zuoshi!"

The situation in the Qingling Territory is not as complicated as that in the Great Desolate Territory. A strange monk in the alchemy stage will definitely attract strong attention!

Some of them are monks in the Qi Refining Stage, and some are monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The income from one trip is worth a year or even several years of practice.

After hearing this, Master Ziqing showed a look of disdain and said:

Just like Lingyun Sect has Lingyunfang City and Tianhe Sect has Tianhefang City, Shangqing Sect also has its own market.

An old man in a purple robe frowned, put down the tea cup in his hand, and kept complaining that this shop was too bullying!

At first, he thought there was some spiritual tea for enlightenment. Unexpectedly, he wasted hundreds of spiritual stones and only drank this spiritual tea, which made him feel quite angry.

However, even so, there are still many casual cultivators flocking to it.

But soon, a burst of laughter resounded outside the teahouse, answering Master Ziqing’s question:

"How dare you sell this low-quality spiritual tea at such a high price? And you still call it enlightenment spiritual tea? It's really a bit of a deception and goes too far!"

If you want to go out to sea to catch various spiritual fish, now is the best time.

After eliminating the Tianhe Sect and the Lingyun Sect, the Shangqing Sect, which dominated the entire Qingling Region, naturally became the largest trading market in the Qingling Region.

Wuyahai has strong winds and huge waves for nearly ten months of the year, and from time to time there will be sea storms that can kill monks!

Only at this time will the waves calm down for a while.

Ambassador Xu Zuo also treated everyone equally. Although Master Ziqing had made rude remarks before, he also distributed him a voucher for going to sea.

Not to mention that both he and Shen Ningbing were in the Dan-formation stage. Once this was leaked, the Shangqing Sect would definitely be alert.

Every year, a large number of people who go out to sea to catch spiritual fish die from the mouths of sea monsters. This is a very shocking number!

However, Xu Zuoshi put on an air that would not let anyone get close to him, turned around and left with a sneer.

Once they are able to come back, often during this rare calm time, these monks will fill all their storage bags before they give up.

Naturally, I came here to spend a lot of money to taste spiritual tea, not because I was willing to be taken advantage of, but because of this good opportunity to go out to sea to catch spiritual fish once a year.

"Fellow Daoist, please keep your voice down. The elder of Shangqing Sect is behind this teahouse, and his cultivation is at the late stage of foundation building!"

Obviously, those who buy other reasonably priced spiritual tea are not eligible to obtain this sea-going certificate.

"Besides, even if the teahouse has a good background, it does not force you to come here to drink tea. Why do you want to come here to take such a risk when you know that the spiritual tea here is not worthy of its reputation?"

As soon as this person came in, the tea drinkers stood up and clasped their fists respectfully.

The market is called Hejian because it is located in the middle of two rivers that flow directly into the sea.

"Hahahaha, that's because these people have something to ask of my Shangqing Sect!"

Going out to sea to catch spiritual fish is not something that everyone can do. In his opinion, an inexperienced and ignorant cultivator like Ziqing Zhenren who rashly goes out to sea is a dead end.

So he didn't care much about the other party's rude words just now, but handed him a sea-going certificate, hoping that Ziqing Zhenren would die in his greed.

But he could never imagine that True Man Ziqing was a cultivator in the Jindan stage, and the purpose of his trip was not to catch fish in the sea, but for this certificate to go to sea!

After getting the sea-going permit, the malicious Ziqing Zhenren continued to pretend to be an inexperienced cultivator and asked the tea drinkers around him:

"Everyone, the Wuya Sea is so vast and boundless, why do you need a permit from Shangqing Sect to catch spiritual fish?"

After this, a cultivator who went out to sea to fish for a living all year round shook his head and said:

"Daoyou, you don't know that Shangqing Sect raises a powerful third-level monster named Tuoshan Turtle. The sea outside the Shangqing Sect's mountain gate is the turtle's territory."

"In that sea area, there are much fewer sea monsters. If you want to catch spiritual fish, this is the first choice."

"And if you go out to sea without a sea-going permit and catch spiritual fish without authorization, once you are found by the patrolling monks of Shangqing Sect, you will die."

After hearing this, Ziqing Zhenren showed a look of understanding and nodded.

"If you have never been out to sea before, I advise you not to go out to sea without permission."

"Even in the sea where the Tuoshan turtle lives, there are still dangers everywhere. Don't lose your life. Let's just take today's incident as a lesson."

Ziqing Zhenren smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you all for your reminder. Goodbye!"

After that, he put away the certificate and left the teahouse.

However, Ziqing Zhenren did not listen to the advice and prepare to leave. Instead, he still planned to go out to sea.

Before that, he had inquired clearly that this sea-going certificate was branded with the unique aura of Shangqing Sect's skills.

As long as there was this jade piece, it would not arouse the hostility and vigilance of the Tuoshan turtle, the guardian monster of Shangqing Sect.

The reason why he went through so much trouble to get this certificate was for the monster turtle raised by Shangqing Sect!

I think even Shangqing Sect would feel a pain in the flesh if the third-level Tuoshan turtle was killed.

As soon as he thought of this, a cold look gradually emerged in the eyes of Ziqing Zhenren.

But Ziqing Zhenren could never have thought that his whereabouts had actually been exposed.

All of this fell into Ling Ying's eyes!

"I have to say that this Ziqing ancestor of Lingyun Sect is really worthy of admiration. Even if the sect has been destroyed, he still thinks about revenge."

Ling Ying showed a cold smile, and then stroked his chin with his fingertips, and his expression became meaningful.

"Get the sea permit, is this going to attack the mountain-carrying turtle of our sect?"

"Such a persistent hatred. He is willing to take such a risk. Could it be that he has an accomplice?"

Ling Ying thought carefully. He has come all the way from the Qi Refining Stage and has reached this position now. Naturally, his mind is extremely meticulous and he will not act rashly and impulsively.

He dared to take this matter alone, so he naturally had a lot of confidence in dealing with Ziqing Zhenren.

Besides, he had just completed his Dan formation not long ago, and he also wanted to find someone to try out his current methods. Now, this Ziqing Zhenren who came to his doorstep was the perfect person.

"Haha, it seems that my Dan formation ceremony is destined to be quite grand, with the blood of a Dan formation stage Zhenren as a sacrifice!"

"."

Li Qing and Shen Ningbing naturally knew nothing about the affairs of Ziqing Patriarch.

The two concealed their auras and their faces, and also came to Hejian Market.

"No wonder this place is so lively, it turns out that Shangqing Sect will hold a Dan formation ceremony in seven days!"

"I didn't expect that Shangqing Sect has another newly promoted Dan formation cultivator."

Along the way, he and Shen Ningbing also collected a lot of information and figured out why this place was unusually lively, with cultivators coming and going from all directions.

"Another Dan formation Zhenren." Shen Ningbing's face became a little more solemn.

At present, they have not yet learned how many Jindan-stage cultivators there are in Shangqing Sect, but based on the current information, they can roughly calculate that there are at least three or four ancestors!

First is Wen Xia, who is still alive, and then Linglong Zhenren, who is in her prime!

Including this newly promoted Jindan-stage cultivator, there are three ancestors.

In addition, over the years, Shangqing Sect, which has the exclusive use of the entire Qingling Domain's cultivation resources, it is impossible that no one else has successfully formed a Jindan!

In such a large Qingling Domain, although the cultivation environment cannot be compared with the Great Wilderness Domain, one or two Jindan spiritual objects can still be found.

If calculated in this way, Shangqing Sect may have at least four or five Jindan ancestors.

Adding a guardian demon beast in his sect, a third-stage late-stage mountain-carrying turtle, this cutting-edge combat power is enough to make Li Qing feel a lot of pressure.

"The most difficult ones are the mountain-carrying turtle and Linglong Zhenren. The combat power of the two is far beyond the reach of ordinary Jindan cultivators." Li Qing showed a fearful look.

Especially Linglong Zhenren, this cultivator was a Jindan cultivator a long time ago. I haven't seen him for so many years. With his qualifications, it is normal for him to advance to the late Jindan stage and look forward to the Nascent Soul.

The heavenly spiritual roots plus the Linglong treasure body, these two can actually appear in a cultivator at the same time, which is simply a cultivation qualification that goes against the sky to the extreme.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a qualification that is rarely seen in ten thousand years!

If she had not encountered a secret attack in her early years, which damaged her foundation, I am afraid that she might really ignore the cultivation environment of Qingling Domain and successfully condense the Nascent Soul here!

Of course, all this is also Li Qing's guess.

"No matter what, I think we should not miss the Jindan Ceremony of Shangqing Sect this time. This is a good opportunity to find out the truth."

"If we can sneak in, maybe we can meet other Jindan ancestors of Shangqing Sect."

Li Qing's idea is very simple. Since it is the Jindan Ceremony of a new ancestor, there must be other Jindan ancestors attending.

Hearing Li Qing's bold decision, Shen Ningbing was slightly startled, and then thought carefully, and felt that this matter has great potential.

"We can sneak into the Jindan Ceremony, but how can we get an identity?"

"I think that in such a grand Jindan Ceremony, those who can participate are all well-known people. It's not easy to sneak in casually."

In response, Li Qing showed a confident smile: "This is not difficult. With our cultivation methods, will we be stumped by this?"

"At that time, find a patriarch of a cultivation family who comes to attend the ceremony in the market, capture him, and then pretend to be his follower to participate in this Jindan Ceremony."

At this point, Li Qing has already considered the target and carefully selected it in this Hejian market.

At this time, the surface of the Wuya Sea should have been calm, but for some reason, a shocking tsunami and storm were set off!

Many cultivators who chose to go out to sea to catch spirit fish at this time all fled to the shore in panic.

The terrifying wind and waves rose hundreds of meters high, covering the sky and the sun, as if they were going to drown the sky, and they directly hit the shore.

Boom!

Along with the wind and waves came an astonishing spiritual pressure!
