Immortal Refiner

Chapter 677: Strange Blood Lotus

Two years passed in the blink of an eye.

During these two years, Lingyun Sect still kept its gates closed, and no disciple ever left the sect's formation.

Since Li Qing successfully condensed his Nascent Soul, the cultivation atmosphere of the entire sect has become more diligent and outstanding.

All this is to prepare for the immortal war with Xiaoyao Sect, and everyone hopes to restore Lingyun Sect's former status in Qingling Domain as soon as possible.

To be honest, after more than two years of staying indoors, the cultivation world in Qingling Domain almost forgot about Lingyun Sect.

In this regard, Li Qing was quite calm.

In the past two years, he has been practicing in the cave to inherit the inheritance from Chihuang Palace.

The original Chihuang Tianjun can definitely be said to be an ancestor who played with fire to the extreme!

From the magical powers and Taoism in these inheritances, Li Qing can be said to have gained a lot of knowledge.

"The Ten Thousand Flames Burning Heaven Formation, this is actually a magical power that uses multiple heaven and earth spiritual fires as a guide to simulate the power of the formation!" Li Qing whispered to himself, and was shocked by this magical power created by Chihuang Tianjun himself.

This is similar to the Zhuxian Sword Formation diagram he imagined, and it also uses other means to restore the power of the formation.

However, the method of this magical power created by Chihuang Tianjun himself is more ingenious!

He uses the spiritual fire as the basis to set up the formation and uses the power of the heaven and earth spiritual fire to kill the enemy.

But similarly, if you want to practice this magical power successfully, the conditions are also extremely harsh.

First of all, it is your own cultivation. It is basically impossible for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage to practice this magical power successfully!

Only cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage are qualified to try to practice this magical power, and the threshold is extremely high!

In addition, two other conditions must be taken into account.

That is, the practice method is Chihuang Burning Heaven Gong and mastering three heaven and earth spiritual fires!

The combination of these three extremely harsh conditions almost meant that very few people could cultivate this magical power.

Even though Li Qing had only met two of the conditions, the third condition was not impossible to complete.

As long as he set out to the Fire Cliff Cave again, he would have a chance to subdue the third spiritual fire of heaven and earth, which was the Xuanhuang True Flame in the Chihuang Palace!

However, he was not in a hurry to leave. During this period, he had been observing the situation of Xiaoyao Sect through spies.

Before solving the big problem of Xiaoyao Sect, if he rashly went to the Fire Cliff Cave, he would probably be targeted by the Xiaoyao Patriarch.

Thinking of this, Li Qing sighed.

"Alas, I have hit a dead end!"

He wanted to solve the big problem of Xiaoyao Patriarch, and it would be best to rely on the power of subduing the third spiritual fire of heaven and earth to use it to perform the Ten Thousand Flames Burning Heaven Formation!

By then, with the magical power blessed by the three heaven and earth spirit fires, even if the Xiaoyao Patriarch is a famous Yuanying stage cultivator for many years, he has great confidence in killing the other party.

But the problem is that he doesn't know what the current state of the Xiaoyao Patriarch is.

On the surface, the Xiaoyao Sect seems to have relaxed its vigilance against the Lingyun Sect and almost ignored their sect.

But Li Qing dare not make a conclusion. He is worried that this is a pretense of the Xiaoyao Sect, and it is very likely that they continue to observe the Lingyun Sect in secret.

If he leaves the sect rashly, it is unknown what will happen.

Li Qing has not figured out a way to break the deadlock, so he can only put down this extremely powerful magical power and cannot really try to practice it.

However, another magical power left by Chihuang Tianjun is also interesting. In the past two years, Li Qing has put a lot of thoughts on this magical power.

This magical power is called the Fire Extreme Dharmakaya, which is to bless oneself with spiritual fire, and then use the Nascent Soul as the core to condense a powerful fire attribute Dharmakaya.

Within two years, Li Qing has initially condensed his Fire Extreme Dharmakaya, which can be regarded as a successful practice.

However, he has not really tried the power of this magical power, so Li Qing is not very confident.

Sighing again, Li Qing slowly put down the scriptures in his hand and went to the dark room in the cave.

First, he fed the Fire Jade Queen Bee with spiritual fire. Now the strength of the Fire Jade Queen Bee has reached the level of the late second stage, and it is not too far from the third stage.

"This is really a case of one person's enlightenment and the whole family's rise to heaven. I didn't expect that the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered when I condensed the Nascent Soul would also benefit this queen bee."

Li Qing nodded with great satisfaction. When the Fire Jade Queen Bee officially became a third-level spiritual insect, it could be regarded as a very good combat force.

Judging from the current situation, that day should not be far away.

After feeding the fire jade bee, Li Qing turned around and came to a secret dark room in the cave.

In this dark room, there is a dark red blood pool. In the center of the pool, a blood-colored lotus that has bloomed gently swayed.

This blood lotus is becoming more and more weird, accompanied by the bloody smell around, which makes Li Qing frown.

Growing from the bones and blood of many powerful monsters, this blood lotus is becoming more and more extraordinary.

"Do I have to use this blood lotus like the Blood Lotus Sect Leader did?"

Li Qing frowned and muttered to himself, because until now he has not found a way to use this blood lotus.

Refining it into a pill?

But he didn't even know the name of this blood lotus. Li Qing, who knew nothing about alchemy, didn't even think of using it as medicine.

This involves creating a new recipe, which is not something he can do.

Even some alchemists who have studied pharmacology deeply find it difficult to create a new recipe, let alone Li Qing.

This blood lotus bloomed a year ago, a year after he condensed his infant. At that time, the entire dark room was filled with rich blood light, and the strange blood lotus absorbed nearly half of the pus and blood in the blood pool at one time.

Li Qing also thought about how to use this blood lotus for a whole year.

Now, Li Qing, whose foundation has been completely stabilized, finally decided to try this blood lotus in person to see what effect it has.

With this thought, Li Qing's eyes showed determination, and then he took a step forward, stepped over the edge of the blood pool, and sat cross-legged directly in the center of this blood lotus.

Almost in an instant, the petals of this blood lotus slowly wrapped around Li Qing, as if they were about to close again.

Li Qing was slightly alert in his heart, and slowly mobilized the two spiritual fires of heaven and earth in his body.

As long as there is anything wrong, he will not hesitate to use thunder and fire to burn the blood lotus that he cultivated with great difficulty.

After the blood lotus petals closed, Li Qing, who was in it, soon felt its changes.

Each lotus petal that was close to his body was slowly transmitting the thick essence, and his physical body began to slowly become stronger at this moment!

This is incredible. You should know that Li Qing's current physical cultivation has reached the peak of the third level.

Now it is extremely difficult to make further progress, almost as difficult as the transformation of a third-level monster.

The blood lotus is slowly nourishing Li Qing's body. The feeling of this body slowly becoming stronger is very wonderful, which makes Li Qing completely intoxicated.

Soon, Li Qing, who was completely intoxicated, found that his cultivation had also been slightly improved. Although it was a little undetectable, it was indeed a slight improvement.

After confirming this, he took a breath.

"How is it possible? No matter how I meditate and breathe in these two years, my cultivation is like a piece of stone and it doesn't move at all."

"Now, it has actually increased a little bit!"

\u0026t;divtentadv\u0026gt;This made Li Qing's heart beat fast. This blood lotus can actually improve the magic power of a Yuanying period cultivator.

But soon, it seemed that the bones and blood of the monsters in the pool were exhausted.

The nourishment of the blood lotus gradually stopped, which made Li Qing secretly feel a little regretful and reluctant.

Suddenly, an evil thought emerged in his mind.

It seems that this blood lotus can nourish itself as long as it absorbs the essence and blood of living beings. Not only can it make the body stronger, but also improve the cultivation.

Then should I

As soon as this thought came up, a crisp and pleasant melody rang out in Li Qing's mind.

Exquisite fairy music!

Since Li Qing absorbed the essence of Linglong's treasure body when he was condensing his infant, he also gained a magical power similar to Linglong's fairy sound.

But he could not actively drive and activate this fairy sound like Linglong Zhenren, and could only passively trigger it, allowing him to keep his mind clear under the influence of illusions and other effects.

After Linglong's fairy sound stopped, Li Qing suddenly reacted. He opened the petals of the blood lotus and rushed out directly.

"This blood lotus is so strange that it can subtly influence my thinking consciousness!"

"If it weren't for the awakening of Linglong's fairy sound, my thinking consciousness would probably be potentially changed, and I would become a slave of this blood lotus, and go to find the essence of living beings at all costs to improve my strength!"

As he said this, Li Qing couldn't help but sweat all over his back.

Just now, after he realized that his cultivation and physical body had become stronger, he actually had the idea of ​​slaughtering all living beings for blood sacrifice.

If he is not careful, he will fall into the devil's way!

Li Qing, who was still in shock, took a long time to calm down his emotions.

Then, he looked at the blood lotus with fear.

At this time, the blood in the blood pool was almost dry, and the blood lotus was no longer as strange as before, but was a little sluggish.

Obviously, it needed new blood to nourish it.

For a moment, Li Qing didn't know what to do.

The benefits he got from this blood lotus were real, and his physical body and magic power were slightly improved!

After all, he is now a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. At this level, if he wants to improve his own cultivation, he may not be able to make much progress even if he sits for dozens or hundreds of years just by meditating.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Qing finally made a decision.

"With the protection of Linglong Xianyin, I don't need to worry too much about my mind being affected by this blood lotus."

"I'm just afraid that I will be addicted to it involuntarily in the future, and then I will take the initiative to transform towards the devil's way."

As he said this, a bitter expression appeared on the corner of Li Qing's mouth.

It is really too difficult to improve the cultivation level after reaching the Yuanying stage. Now he has truly experienced it.

As far as he knows, many Yuanying cultivators in this world are almost trapped in the early Yuanying stage for life. It is extremely difficult to continue to climb.

Even the Xiaoyao ancestor who has lived for who knows how many years is only at the early Yuanying stage.

It is obvious how difficult it is to practice in the Nascent Soul stage. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is like ascending to heaven.

Li Qing asked himself if his mind was still firm, but if he could not make any progress in his cultivation for hundreds of years in the future, he did not know whether he could still resist the temptation brought by the blood lotus.

So Li Qing finally decided to use this blood lotus, but he had to set a bottom line for himself.

"No matter what happens in the future, you must not wantonly slaughter innocent lives to sacrifice blood for this blood lotus. This is the bottom line and cannot be crossed."

After entering the Nascent Soul stage, Li Qing had read the handwritten notes left by Bailing Daojun for him, and knew some little-known secrets of this world.

He knew that in this world, the Nascent Soul stage was not invincible.

At least in this world, there are cultivators in the God Transformation stage, which are real old monsters.

However, unlike the cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, the old monsters in the God Transformation stage rarely appear in the world, and they are almost all hidden in some ancient places.

Bailing Daojun did not mention the specific reason, but just told Li Qing to act with caution.

If he really starts to slaughter innocent creatures wantonly to perform blood sacrifices to improve his strength in the future, it is very likely that he will provoke an old monster in the God Transformation Stage who has been hiding from the world.

Therefore, Li Qing finally decided to act as low-key as possible in the future, and he should not act recklessly even if he becomes a Yuanying Zhenjun.

"Just follow your heart."

After the voice fell, Li Qing left the secret dark room and sealed the door of the dark room again with a ban.

At this moment, outside his cave, there was suddenly a spiritual letter.

"Hmm? Is it the information sent by the outside spy?"

"There is new information so soon, could it be that Xiaoyaomen has made some moves recently."

After saying that, Li Qing opened the spiritual letter and read it carefully.

After seeing the content above, Li Qing's eyes narrowed slightly.

The information written on it was very short, only one sentence.

"Twenty days later, Xiaoyao Sect will hold a grand ceremony to celebrate the 800th birthday of the sect's ancestor, Xiaoyao Zhenjun."

The life span of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage is over a thousand years, so cultivators at this level basically hold a birthday banquet every hundred years.

Celebrating in units of one hundred years can also be more grand.

"Eight hundred years"

After seeing this information, Li Qing's first reaction was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the 800-year-old Xiaoyao Patriarch was still in the early stage of the Nascent Soul.

He originally thought that the other party was only five or six hundred years old at most, but he didn't expect that he was already an 800-year-old old guy.

It can be seen from this that it is indeed extremely difficult to improve the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage.

Otherwise, how could the 800-year-old Xiaoyao Patriarch have no progress in cultivation?

Li Qing felt that this might also be the situation he would experience in the future, and hundreds of years later he would still be wasting time in the Nascent Soul stage.

But the only good news is that Li Qing still has a long life span and can withstand the passage of time.

At this moment, Li Qing did not think carefully about these things that were too far away. Instead, his eyes gradually showed a cold light.

"Is the 800th birthday banquet going to be used to show off your power?"

"It seems that the opportunity to subdue Xuanhuang Zhenyan has come."
