Immortal Refiner

There was no trouble on the way back to the sect. In the Qingling Region today, no blind monk dared to cause trouble for Li Qing.

But along the way, his mood was a little heavy, and he always had a calm face while driving the spirit boat.

The Prairie Temple Tribe, which had always been at peace with their Lingyun Sect, was finally ready to move because of a thousand-year-old Dragon Blood Vine.

The elixir is attractive, and the thousand-year dragon blood vine that can refine the dragon-transforming elixir will drive many monks in the elixir-forming stage crazy.

"Fortunately, the sect has deployed a fourth-level formation, otherwise this would be really troublesome."

Li Qing sighed in his heart.

Naturally, he would never give up on this Dragon Blood Vine. This was the hope for him and the other supreme elders in the sect to condense the Nascent Soul in the future!

Now that the mountain gate is guarded by the Tianyuan Spirit Killing Formation, there is no need to worry too much about threats from the outside world.

But it is necessary to be on guard against others. The monks in the grassland have always been brave and direct. Who knows what kind of things they will do.

After all, they can't stay inside the mountain gate forever. There will always be times when they go out in the future. If they are missed, it will be troublesome.

If you want to solve these threats, the best way is to give birth to a monk in the Nascent Soul stage.

As long as there are Nascent Soul Stage monks, these seemingly troublesome threats will be solved directly.

"Let's go back to the sect first. We have to discuss these matters with a few other people."

With this in mind, Li Qing once again accelerated the flying speed of the snake-headed spirit boat. From below, it looked like a meteor passing over the sky.

A few days later, inside the mountain gate of Lingyun Sect.

Li Qing, who returned to the sect again, took Xu Xia to the vicinity of the spiritual peaks where several ancestors lived behind the sect. He looked around at the surrounding spiritual peaks, and then said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, something big happened!"

As soon as Li Qing's words resounded, there was immediately movement in the caves at the top of several surrounding spiritual peaks.

I saw the restrictions on several caves were lifted one after another, and figures came out one after another.

Xu Xia, who was next to Li Qing, was completely confused at this moment. He didn't even know what Patriarch Wuji's intention was in bringing him here.

However, when he saw several ancestors of the sect coming out of seclusion, he felt even more shocked and proud.

This is today's Lingyun Sect. It has an extremely strong foundation. With so many ancestors of the Pill Formation, it is enough to easily sweep through one side!

"Li Qing, what happened? Why is your expression so serious?" Wu Chong asked first, "Also, who is the disciple next to you, your new disciple?"

The other Pill Formation Ancestors also looked at Li Qing with serious expressions. Now Li Qing was the person with the highest cultivation level and the strongest combat ability in the sect. Even he was so serious, that meant something big had really happened.

Li Qing said: "He is an inner disciple of the sect. He passed several tests of mine during his mission. I decided to appoint him as the first head of the sect!"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Xia's brain was instantly occupied by a blank.

Everything was too sudden and he didn't react at all!

Soon, the gazes from the Supreme Elder came over and looked at this inner disciple who was only in the Qi Refining Stage from top to bottom.

It's not yet the Foundation Establishment stage, so your cultivation level is indeed low, but it doesn't matter. You can always raise it up through the Foundation Establishment Pill in the future.

Since it was Li Qing's decision and it had passed several tests, it was trustworthy, and they didn't have any objections.

After a long time, Xu Xia finally came to his senses. After digesting the unsurprising words just now, he spoke repeatedly:

"Ancestor Wuji, I am only in the Qi refining stage, how can I be qualified to be the leader?"

"If this spreads out, outsiders will laugh at me because Lingyun Sect has no one. Please ask the ancestor to take back his life and ask other foundation-building elders to take on this important task!"

Xu Xia's words were very sincere, and her face was extremely sincere.

But Li Qing waved his hand and said: "This matter has been decided, so don't refuse anymore. You don't need to worry about your cultivation. I will find a way to get you some foundation stones later." Dan’s!”

"This..." Xu Xia was already a little incoherent and looked quite frightened.

He didn't even know what to say, because for him now, the Foundation Establishment Pill was indeed a very important pill.

But soon, Master Fu Xuan interrupted: "You called us out of the cave and said something big happened. Could this be the case?"

Wu Chong and other Supreme Elders also nodded doubtfully. Although the position of head of the sect was important, it would never make Li Qing so serious.

Soon, Li Qing shook his head and said:

"This is just one of them, I haven't finished talking yet."

"Just before, Xu Xia accepted a mission to wipe out the remnants of the Shangqing Sect. Because of the matter of being the head, I followed him secretly, intending to test his character and other aspects."

"He passed the test without a doubt, but when Xiling was carrying out the clearing mission, something unexpected happened. Among the remnants of the Shangqing Sect, there was actually an elder in the foundation-building period!"

"If I hadn't followed you secretly, something bad might have happened."

"."

In this way, Li Qing told everything he encountered in Xiling, including some of the memories he extracted when he was searching for the soul of Elder Bai!

The Temple Tribe of the grassland may have set their sights on Lingyun Sect!

No, to be more precise, they have set their sights on the Dragon Blood Vine of Lingyun Sect!

After listening to Li Qing's detailed narration, everyone showed a solemn expression.

"I never expected this to happen." Shen Ningbing frowned and said.

The old ancestor Ziqing, who was wearing a purple Taoist robe, nodded and said, "If the monks of the Temple Tribe of the grassland spread this news, there will be some trouble in the future."

"We know nothing about the grassland in the north, especially the Temple Tribe. We don't know much about it. We do need to be vigilant about this matter." Master Fu Xuan also had a slightly worried expression. In the years in Lingyun Sect, he has regarded himself as a member of the sect, and the initial estrangement and unfamiliarity are no longer there.

Wu Chong said nonchalantly, "But now Lingyun Sect is protected by the Tianyuan Zhuling Formation. Even if the cultivators in the grassland want to attack us, it is not a big threat, right?"

This is true. Now even if there are cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage who want to attack Lingyun Sect, they have to weigh the threat of this formation!

When fully activated, this formation can definitely threaten the cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage!

But Li Qing is looking at the long term, and he expressed some of his concerns.

Will the Temple Tribe in the grassland take other actions in the future, such as continuing to find ways to control the disciples of the sect, inserting internal help into the sect, or setting up ambushes outside.

These are things that are hard to guard against. After all, it is better to be afraid of thieves than to be afraid of thieves stealing.

Xu Xia, who was standing aside, finally understood at this moment that Li Qing was not just talking about appointing him as the head of the sect.

Because the things that the sect's supreme elders were talking about were all real secrets, and they were secrets of a very high level, which even the elders in the foundation-building stage could not touch.

But the supreme elders did not care about his existence, and talked directly in front of him, not minding that he was just an inner disciple in the Qi Refining stage.

This was definitely the treatment of the head of the sect, and only the head of the sect could participate in the discussions of the ancestors of the sect like this.

At this time, Xu Xia was really confused, and at the same time, he was still thinking about the discussions of the ancestors.

"Xu Xia, what do you think about this matter? Or do you have any countermeasures? Why not tell me?" Li Qing turned his head to look at Xu Xia who was in deep thought.

Hearing Li Qing suddenly mentioning himself, Xu Xia was startled, and then said in a panic: "Reporting to the Wuji Patriarch, I think about this matter."

He hesitated and did not dare to express his own views.

But Li Qing gave him a positive look, and then encouraged him: "Just say it directly, there is no need to be so restrained."

"When you succeed in building your foundation and take over the position of the head of the sect, you will be our nephew. Of course, you can call us uncles now."

Hearing Li Qing's words, Xu Xia felt a lot more relaxed for no reason.

But he still said respectfully: "Several ancestors, I think we can take the initiative in this matter. Since it is certain that the grassland temple tribe will attack our sect, we can regard this as a declaration of war."

"Now that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, why not take the initiative to send people to find out the movements of the grassland?"

"Of course, this may be a bit rash. We can send elders in the foundation building period like Shangqing Sect to enter the grassland under the pretext of looking for the recipe of the Dragon Transformation Pill, but secretly collect some information about the grassland temple."

As soon as this was said, several supreme elders in the sect nodded and agreed with this idea.

"Yes, taking the initiative is a good strategy. If we can find out the truth about the Prairie Temple, maybe we can take the initiative to attack!" Ziqing Patriarch agreed.

The strength of Lingyun Sect is indeed terrifying now. The cultivators in the Jindan stage and the third-level monsters raised in the sect are definitely a force that can easily sweep across the Qingling Region!

However, the only problem is that in a war of immortals, there are still too many variables. If we launch it rashly, it is likely to lead to the death of the sect's ancestors.

Li Qing pondered for a while, and then said: "Well, it is not appropriate to sit and wait for death. Even if we don't take the initiative to start a war of immortals, we should prepare for it in advance!"

"Xu Xia, this matter is left to you. You can send the sect's foundation-building elders you think are suitable to the grassland to gather information!"

"When the time comes, just say that this is my order. If this is successful, your foundation-building pill will be settled!"

Hearing Li Qing's words, Xu Xia took a few deep breaths, and then he solemnly clasped his fists and said: "Disciple obeys the order!"

He understood that at this point, it would be inappropriate to refuse again, so he could only agree to this matter.

And in a thousand and ten thousand words, he really needs the foundation-building pill now. At present, the Wuji Patriarch has provided him with such a good opportunity. If he refuses again, it would be too hypocritical and ignorant.

Xu Xia is not a person who doesn't know what is good for him. On the contrary, one of the main reasons why he can get Li Qing's recognition is that he is very self-aware.

In this way, the decision-making aspect of exploring grassland intelligence fell on Xu Xia.

As for the other supreme elders, including Li Qing, they would naturally pay some attention to this matter.

But they didn't need to invest too much energy like before. The most important thing for them at the moment was to practice and increase their own strength.

As the supreme elder of the sect, the most important thing was their own strength!

After the discussion, Li Qing also breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his cave.

"I have to improve my strength and cultivation as soon as possible!"

In the cave, Li Qing sat cross-legged on the futon and began to think about what he could rely on now.

"If it is not so urgent, with the Wanshou Lingguo sealed in my body, I can completely use a long time to refine the medicinal power and reach the perfect state of the Jindan stage."

"At that time, I can also collect the recipe of the Hualong Pill and the auxiliary medicine for refining the Hualong Pill at the same time."

For him, this is the most reliable way to practice, and when he impacts the Yuanying stage, it will be a natural thing.

But things are unpredictable, and plans can never keep up with changes!

He also wants to practice leisurely, but now Qingling Domain may be experiencing a change that has not happened in thousands of years. The spiritual energy of the earth is rising, and opportunities and dangers coexist!

If you want to continue to maintain your current position in this change, you need stronger strength.

"Huh, luckily I am not completely unprepared."

As he spoke, a roll of animal skin pill recipe appeared in Li Qing's hand. It was for this pill recipe that he went out to sea and went through a lot of hardships to collect monster inner pills and Tianyuan flowers!

That's right!

This pill is the Yangling Pill!

[Yangling Pill:

Main ingredients: third-level monster inner pill, five-hundred-year-old Tianyuan flower, Biyue root,

Auxiliary ingredients: hundred-year-old purple blood ginseng juice, erosion spirit fruit essence]

Now the materials for refining Yangling Pill are complete, and even more than one furnace can be refined, because the number of third-level monsters killed by Li Qing this time is really large, even more than one third-level late-stage monster.

But the pill recipe is there, the materials are complete, and the next thing is someone to start refining the pill!

If it was before going out to sea, Li Qing would have been troubled by this more than once. He even thought about going south to the Great Wilderness to find a reliable third-level alchemist in the Moon-Chusting Palace!

But in that case, the pill recipe would be equivalent to being exposed.

This is a third-level elixir that can help Jindan-stage cultivators improve their mana and quickly improve their cultivation!

For any sect, it is the most important lifeline, who would be willing to leak it out easily?

Fortunately, there is now Bailing Daojun! This senior who is known to be proficient in all arts of cultivating immortals!

But there is another problem with doing this. The other party has already troubled to set up a fourth-level formation for the sect, and the price is to find a successor for him.

Next, he wants to ask the other party to refine the Yangling Pill, and there is more than one furnace. Li Qing doesn't know what to use to impress the other party.

After all, he and Bailing Daojun are only in a cooperative relationship, and helping each other requires an equal exchange.

Then what can he exchange with the other party?

Previously, Bailing Daojun instructed him to refine the Wind and Thunder Silver Wings because he promised to take the other party out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm.

After that, he arranged the Tianyuan Zhuling Formation, and he would help Bailing Daojun find a suitable successor.

But he didn't know what to trade with him for his help in refining pills.

Although Li Qing is now the ancestor of Lingyun Sect, he seems to have unlimited glory and everything he wants in the eyes of outsiders, but facing such an old monster who was once in the Spiritualization Stage, he only feels that he is extremely poor.
