Immortal Refiner

Chapter 676: Consolidate Oneself

The sudden thunderstorm on Qingyun Peak did not hurt Li Qing at all. He relied on his boundless magic power to bear it.

After the thunderclouds gradually dissipated, Li Qing's figure slowly fell from the sky, and at the same time, he restrained the spiritual pressure that was constantly emanating from himself.

The cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage!

In the lower realm, it is definitely a top existence. No matter where it is placed, it is a well-deserved ancestor-level figure.

In the past, some people might think that Li Qing was only a Jindan stage cultivator, and it was somewhat unworthy to call him the Wuji Patriarch. But now no one can question his identity and status anymore.

After Li Qing fell, several supreme elders in Lingyun Sect all clasped their fists towards Li Qing and said, "Congratulations to Senior Brother Li for achieving the Nascent Soul Stage!"

Immediately afterwards, all the disciples and foundation-building elders of the sect also shouted in unison:

"Congratulations to Ancestor Wuji for successfully condensing his Nascent Soul and achieving great success in his cultivation!"

While saying this, many people showed excited expressions.

Now that there is an additional Nascent Soul cultivator in the sect, it means that Lingyun Sect finally has the capital to compete with the foreign Xiaoyao Sect.

They have had enough of being trapped in the formation like this.

Everyone in the sect looked forward to Li Qing, waiting for him to issue a declaration of war!

However, Li Qing was not so reckless and impulsive. He put his hands behind his back and looked around the sect.

He naturally knew what the other disciples in the sect were thinking.

But now that he has just succeeded in condensing his infant, he is going to go head-to-head with the Xiaoyao Patriarch, which is not in line with his style.

It's not that he has no confidence in defeating the other party, but Li Qing likes to be cautious in doing things. He will not consider taking action until he is at least 70% sure.

"Everyone, I understand what you are thinking now!"

"There can't be two tigers in one mountain, and there can't be two suns in the sky. Everyone understands this truth."

"But the time is not yet ripe. If we rashly go to war with Xiaoyao Sect, the losses we will suffer at that time may be quite heavy."

"We have to wait, continue to wait for the time to mature, and then fight to win the Xiaoyao Sect in one fell swoop!"

After hearing Li Qing's words, many disciples became rational again.

It was indeed because they saw that the Wuji Patriarch successfully condensed his infant, and their emotions were too excited, which led to their blood boiling, so they couldn't wait to go to war with Xiaoyao Sect.

But thinking about it carefully, such an idea is really too reckless, and it is very likely to play into the enemy's hands.

At this time, Li Qing chuckled and said:

"Next, I plan to conceal the fact that I have successfully promoted to the Nascent Soul Stage, and even continue to close the mountain gate, so as to let Xiaoyao Sect relax its vigilance."

"In the future, I hope you can continue to practice hard and make your own strength reach a higher level."

"I promise you that the day when my Lingyun Sect will come out again will not be far away!"

Hearing this, all the disciples of Lingyun Sect became excited again, and they shouted:

"Great Lingyun! Great Wuji Ancestor!"

It has been a long time since they joined the sect. While enjoying so many conveniences, many disciples naturally have a sense of identity with Lingyun Sect from the heart.

In this surging and exciting emotion, Li Qing waved his hand and returned to his cave.

At the same time, he sent a message to the other supreme elders, asking them to come with him.

In Qingyun Peak, in Li Qing's cave.

Wu Chong, Ziqing Zhenren, Shen Ningbing, Fu Xuan Zhenren, and Su Xin, the five supreme elders of Lingyun Sect, followed Li Qing into the cave.

"Li Qing, what's the important matter that you called us here for?" Wu Chong asked curiously.

In the cave, Li Qing did not put on any airs of a Yuanying Zhenjun, and remained the same as before, without any changes.

"Although the condensation of the infant was successful this time, the process was extremely dangerous. Any slight mistake could lead to an irreparable situation."

"However, because of this dangerous experience of condensing the infant, I also gained a lot of personal insights. I will write down all these insights later and put them in the sect's transmission hall. You can check them freely."

After hearing this, several people looked happy.

The insights of breaking through the realm recorded by a Yuanying cultivator who had just successfully condensed the infant are definitely a thing of amazing value.

If they also reach the peak of the Jindan in the future and are at the critical moment of condensing the infant, this insight may be of great help to them.

Even the usually serious Fu Xuan Zhenren had a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

But it wasn't over yet. What Li Qing took out next made everyone gasp.

"Also, do you remember the thousand-year-old dragon blood vine in the sect?"

"I asked someone to refine it into a furnace of Dragon Transformation Pills. If it weren't for the incredible effect of this pill, which provided some help at the critical moment, the result of my infant condensation this time would still be unknown."

As he said that, Li Qing took out five dark red elixirs from the storage bag.

Li Qing smiled and said, "A furnace of Dragon Transformation Pills produces seven pills. One of them was given as a reward to Tianbao Zhenjun of Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, and the other one was naturally taken by me."

"Now there are five left. Each of you can take one back."

Hiss!

Looking at the five dark red pills that Li Qing took out, the five people all gasped at this moment, and their inner emotions were shocked to the extreme.

This is really impactful. Five Dragon Transformation Pills, this is a pill of astonishing value!

Taking one out at random can make all the monks in the alchemy stage all over the world go crazy for it, and even fight for it at all costs.

For a moment, they didn't know what to say.

reject?

This really goes against their true intentions. They are also monks in the pill-forming stage, and the temptation of the Dragon Transformation Pill is really too great for them.

Master Fu Xuan gritted his teeth and shook his head:

"This is really too precious. I didn't put any effort into refining this Dragon Transformation Pill. I feel worthy of receiving this great gift."

Shen Ningbing also pursed her red lips and said, "Senior Brother Li, this elixir is of astonishing value, so it's really worth giving it away like this."

The other people also nodded, obviously embarrassed to accept this gift.

But Li Qing insisted on giving away the elixir:

"A person can only take one Dragon Transformation Pill in his life. For me, these five pills are of no other use if they are left in my body."

"And if we hadn't worked together to defeat the Shangqing Sect, how could we have obtained the most important main ingredient of the Dragon Transformation Pill, Dragon Blood Vine?"

\u0026t;divtentadv\u003e "Everyone has contributed to this matter, so you better not refuse, just accept it."

"If the sect can have one or two more Nascent Soul stage monks in the future, this will be the most important thing!"

"Or are you saying that you have given up on practicing and don't plan to attack Nascent Soul?"

Having already said this, it would seem a bit hypocritical to decline further.

In the end, they accepted the Dragon Transformation Pill and silently accepted this huge favor from Li Qing.

Only the ancestor Ziqing waved his hand and rejected Li Qing's kindness with a nonchalant attitude.

"I don't want this pill anymore. I don't have much life left. I'm afraid it will be difficult to make any progress in my cultivation in this life. I probably won't have the chance to use this precious Dragon Transformation Pill in my life."

When Patriarch Ziqing said this, he was extremely free and easy, without any hint of sadness.

As soon as these words came out, Li Qing was slightly startled, and then said: "Ancestor, why do you say such depressing words? The sect now has a recipe for a spiritual nourishing pill. In the future, I can go to sea to hunt down some third-level monsters for you." Let’s refine the elixir.”

Before Li Qing could finish his words, the ancestor of Ziqing raised his hand to interrupt Li Qing. He said happily:

"As long as you have the heart, there is no need to spend so much energy on me."

"I have taken the spirit-nourishing pill before, but I have wasted a lot of time over the years. Now I am getting old, my energy and blood have gradually dried up, and my energy has declined. The effect of the spirit-nourishing pill is not very obvious to me."

"Now that you have been promoted to Nascent Soul, it is you who are the ancestor of the sect. You should think more about yourself. Only when you are stronger can the sect become more prosperous."

In the end, Patriarch Ziqing rejected all Li Qing's good intentions. Knowing his current situation, he had no nerve to waste the sect's cultivation resources.

It would be better to let the other young Supreme Elders grow up. This is called proper use of the sect's resources!

No matter how Li Qing tried to persuade him, Patriarch Ziqing’s attitude was extremely firm.

In this way, as the five Supreme Elders left their cave, Li Qing looked at the last remaining Dragon Transformation Pill in his hand and sighed heavily.

The reason why he took out the Dragon Transformation Pill so generously was not only because they had a share of these pills, but also because Li Qing truly hoped that their path would go further.

The higher your cultivation level, the longer your life span.

In this way, his future path may not seem so lonely.

Just before, when Li Qing successfully broke through the inner demon tribulation and officially became a monk in the Nascent Soul stage, he also clearly saw that his lifespan had increased by more than six hundred years!

Normally, a monk in the elixir formation stage can easily live over five hundred years old, and it is normal for those with longer lives to live to six or seven hundred years old.

The lifespan of a monk in the Nascent Soul stage is over a thousand years!

Li Qing has refined a lot of magic weapons and magic weapons since he formed the elixir. Although he also lost his lifespan by condensing the seven-color life essence with the magic transformation technique, his lifespan is still extremely abundant.

From the moment he officially became the Nascent Soul Lord, Li Qing's remaining lifespan reached an extremely exaggerated number.

Two thousand four hundred and eighty-two years!

In the past, he would feel complacent because of his abundant longevity, but now he feels inexplicably a little timid.

Even for immortal cultivators, the lifespan of more than two thousand years is too long, and even many monsters may not have such a long lifespan.

Just imagine, after a thousand years, old friends gradually withered away from the world, and the world of immortality also changed batch after batch of faces.

Whether they were old friends or rivals, they all passed away. Looking around the world, just looking for someone to talk to seems to have become a luxury.

This is probably what is called the silence of the whole world.

"Is immortality a gift or a curse?"

Li Qing sighed deeply in the cave, and the joy of successfully condensing the baby was diluted a lot.

He understands that because of his special situation, such a slightly lonely future will eventually come.

So Li Qing hopes that his old friends can live longer, climb higher on the path, and delay such a future as much as possible.

Putting away the emotions that had just arisen and the last Dragon Transformation Pill, Li Qing took out a jade slip and began to engrave some of his insights from the impact of the Nascent Soul.

He recorded all these insights in the jade slip, hoping that it would be able to help other people in the sect to impact the Nascent Soul in the future.

The first is naturally about the tempering of the state of mind, which is directly related to the success or failure of the final Heart Demon Tribulation, and is also what Li Qing believes to be the most important part of the impact of the Nascent Soul.

Li Qing mentioned in his insights that no matter what, before impacting the Nascent Soul, one should review the path he has taken and the things he has experienced, and it is best to personally walk the future path again step by step.

He did so and made up for many shortcomings in his life!

But even so, he still encountered considerable difficulties and obstacles in the Heart Demon Tribulation. If he had not returned to the mortal world, Li Qing knew that even with the help of Linglong Xianyin, it would be difficult to get through the Heart Demon Tribulation.

"What is the Heart Demon? It is the demonic obstacle in the heart. Sometimes even one cannot realize the demonic obstacle in one's heart, so it needs to be taken seriously!"

After carefully recording this paragraph, Li Qing thought about the cracking of the golden elixir when he was condensing the Nascent Soul.

He had successfully condensed the Nascent Soul, and when he looked back on this matter again, he had a lot more understanding.

It was caused by the innate deficiency of his own qualifications and the lack of acquired accumulation.

Li Qing originally thought that after he had cultivated to the peak of the Dan Formation, he would have no worries, but he forgot one thing.

He was just a cultivator with four spiritual roots, and his innate qualifications were extremely ordinary. Under such circumstances, when he impacted the Nascent Soul stage, he was less than two hundred years old!

This is really amazing, and his foundation is really thin.

Therefore, when he absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth during the breakthrough, a slight crack appeared on his flawless golden elixir.

"If I could do it again, without considering other external factors, I'd better polish and settle for another thirty to fifty years, so that it would be much safer to condense the infant, and the golden elixir would probably not crack."

Li Qing looked back at himself at that time with the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage, and he could see more clearly.

In this way, Li Qing imprinted his complete understanding of the Nascent Soul Condensation on this jade slip, and then sent it to the highest level of the sect's Transmission Hall.

After doing all this, he consolidated his own cultivation and realm in the cave, so that his slightly restless aura quickly settled down.

After that, Li Qing held a scripture left by Chihuang Tianjun in his hand and studied it patiently and carefully.

After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, he was able to practice more magical powers and methods inherited from the Chihuang Tianjun. In order to rapidly increase his combat power, Li Qing put more thoughts and energy into the inheritance of the Chihuang Tianjun.

In addition, he did not forget to always use his own pure true essence to nourish the Hunyuan Wushuang Hammer.

In this process, the Hunyuan Wushuang Hammer was also rapidly evolving towards the life-saving magic weapon of the Nascent Soul cultivator, and its power gradually became stronger.
