Immortal Refiner

After learning the truth about the monks in the Transformation Stage who had been hiding from the world all year round, Li Qing couldn't help but gasp.

He immediately stopped mobilizing the energy of heaven and earth, causing the flow of his own essence to stop. The decline of life span also quickly slowed down and returned to the normal speed.

"The energy of heaven and earth in this world has almost completely dried up. Therefore, even my slightest mobilization of the energy of heaven and earth will result in the loss of essence and life span."

"The human world also suffered an invasion from the demon world in ancient times, which caused the energy of heaven and earth to become much thinner."

"Although the Yuan Power between heaven and earth has recovered a lot in recent years, those monks in the divine transformation stage are still unable to act without restraint, so they are hidden in the world, and it is difficult for ordinary people to know their whereabouts."

Li Qing analyzed with a solemn expression, thinking that his conclusion should be very close to the truth.

After a long time, he sighed softly and threw these thoughts that had nothing to do with him out of his mind.

At the moment, he has more important things to do. Only monks in the transformation stage will feel the secret of headache. No matter how much he thinks about it, it will have no effect.

Next, Li Qing came to the ancient castle in the center of Giant Mushroom City, and he saw the golden mushroom sacrifice spirit again.

"You've become stronger again. It's clear that this world has entered the absolute end of the Dharma era. Why can you continue to improve?" The mushroom sacrifice spirit said in surprise. It clearly sensed that at this moment, there was a faint sound coming from Li Qing's body. The aura was far vaster and deeper than what he had seen before.

In this regard, Li Qing naturally would not reveal his true identity. He said casually: "It's just a little chance encounter. This time I came here to ask you to produce another fourth-order red moon spore."

The Mushroom Sacrificial Spirit refused without even thinking: "This is impossible. I promised you at the beginning that I can do anything for you, but the premise is that my origin cannot be harmed."

"It hasn't been long since I last cultivated a fourth-order red moon spore. It will take me longer to recover, and it will take at least another ten years before I can produce the next one."

Ten years?

Li Qing repeated this deadline in his mind. It was definitely not a long time. With three times the time flow rate, he only needed to return to the human world and wait for more than three years before he could harvest a fourth-order red moon spore again.

But the time until the invasion of the demon world is still unknown, maybe he won't be able to wait even three years.

After thinking carefully for a while, Li Qing finally chose to give up and not force the matter.

After all, Fan Tong and Zhong Jiu still have a long way to go before reaching the third level of perfection, and he is not sure how long it will take for these two fools to reach the stage of transformation.

And in the face of such a catastrophe, even if one more fourth-level combat power comes out, it seems to be of little significance.

"Forget it, you can get some more of those third-order red moon spores. How about the blood of the other third-order alien beasts? I will take them away this time." Li Qing said.

The Mushroom Sacrifice Spirit said: "That's no problem. During your absence, I have ordered people to cultivate third-level alien beasts. Currently, there are twenty-six alien beasts supplying me with blood, and your part has also been cultivated." It’s stored and you can take it away anytime.”

After all, they have signed a contract to recognize the spirit of their master. At least in this regard, the mushroom sacrifice spirit is quite trustworthy.

"But there is one thing, I think it is necessary to remind you. The dark willow tree in the distance seems to be reviving. The thorn iron tree enshrined by the Blood Martial Dynasty seems to be preparing for the upcoming war."

Hearing this, Li Qing's eyes flashed.

"What a coincidence, I was just about to find trouble with it."

After saying that, Li Qing got the blood of the alien beasts from Giant Mushroom City as quickly as possible and filled it all into the Xiaoyao Qiankun bag.

After doing all this, he was ready to set off to find the magic willow.

Before leaving, the Mushroom Sacrifice Spirit reminded him: "The Dark Willow is much stronger than before it fell asleep. If you go to find trouble for it, you'd better be careful."

Now Li Qing's strength has become much more powerful, and he has a lot of confidence in his heart, but he doesn't have much fear.

But this does not mean that he will act recklessly. It is best to inquire about the situation first.

Afterwards, Li Qing activated the Wind and Thunder Silver Wings and rushed to the royal city of the Blood Martial Dynasty at an extremely fast speed.

Nowadays, the atmosphere in this majestic city seems a bit depressing and solemn. The news of An Liu's awakening seems to have spread throughout the entire dynasty, and even ordinary people know about it.

"Can you win? That Demonic Willow is a terrifying existence that turned the entire Black Wind Territory into evil earth!"

"Alas, now that things have come to a point, I can only believe it!"

"That's right, the dynasty also has spirit sacrifices. Coupled with the many strong Qi and blood martial arts experts, it will definitely win!"

"."

Such encouraging words could be heard everywhere, but Miao Tuo, who was in the palace of the royal city, was not so optimistic.

During this period of time, he has been actively preparing for the war, and even invited all the powerful martial arts masters in the entire dynasty.

But even so, his heart was still heavy.

Just because he had communicated with Sacrifice Spirit before, Sacrifice Spirit had a very pessimistic attitude towards the upcoming battle.

"Even if we invite the sacrificial spirits from Giant Mushroom City, the chances of winning this battle will be slim." Miao Tuo sighed in a low voice. This was the sacrificial spirit enshrined in the court and told him personally.

In fact, he was ready to fight to the death. How could he give up the territory and the huge foundation left behind by his ancestors so easily?

"Even if it's a fatal situation, you still have to fight it personally." Miao Tuo closed his eyes and muttered to himself in a deep voice.

But at this moment, a calm and indifferent voice suddenly resounded in the quiet palace:

"You know you will die but you still want to fight in person? You have good integrity, but you have forgotten everything your ancestors taught you."

"After your death, who will take up the important task of spreading martial arts in the world in the future, and who will develop the future of Qi and Blood Martial Arts?"

As soon as this voice resounded, Miao Tuo's expression changed again and again, from shock to ecstasy.

"Senior Li! Are you back?!"

"Haha, if you don't come back, I'm afraid the inheritance left by your ancestors will be lost in your hands." Li Qing chuckled lightly, and then revealed his figure.

This separation didn't last long, but to Miao Tuo, it seemed like a long, long time had passed.

Seeing Li Qing again at this time, I couldn't help but feel the urge to burst into tears.

In this desperate crisis, the protector who guarded the Qi and Blood Martial Arts appeared again, just like the story his grandfather had told him many times.

The reason why Qi and Blood Martial Arts can prosper to this point is inseparable from this person!

At this moment, Miao Tuo suddenly remembered a sentence he had asked Li Qing when they were in Jiehe many years ago.

Before the era of red moon with darkness as the main theme, there was a bright era with the sun in the sky.

At that time, Li Qing told him an abstract concept: "The sun not only brings light and warmth, but also symbolizes hope."

At this moment, Miao Tuo seemed to have a more concrete impression of this so-called sun that only existed in his imagination.

"Senior Li, it's my incompetence." Miao Tuo lowered his head in guilt.

Seeing how the young man who was extremely arrogant back then had turned into this, not even Li Qing could bear to criticize him any more.

"You don't need to blame yourself too much. Facing that magic willow, your power is indeed too insignificant."

"Next, leave it to me."

With Li Qing's words, Miao Tuo's anxious heart finally calmed down completely.

He knew that, just like his ancestors, he could continue to rely on this protector to overcome the greatest difficulty in the history of Qi and Blood Martial Arts.

In the next few days, Li Qing stayed deep in the palace. He sat here and waited quietly for the resurrected magic willow to move south.

In fact, the second purpose of his coming to the Extreme Night World this time was for the magic willow.

"If we can conquer it, we will have a new trump card even if we face the invasion of the demon world in the future."

Li Qing muttered to himself, but he also knew that conquering the Demonic Willow would never be so easy.

Unlike the sacrifice spirits of Giant Mushroom City, the Demonic Willow is unrivaled in strength and can easily sweep across a large area. Even the previous Li Qing was unable to do so.

His temperament is definitely not as easy to talk to as the mushroom sacrifice spirit. If you want to plant a brand of divine consciousness and make him recognize his master, it may be a bit difficult to reach the sky.

So this time, Li Qing plans to turn it into his own puppet.

Thinking like this, a thin book appeared in his hand - "Woodling Puppet"!

This was a secret technique that he had acquired a long time ago, and it dates back to his Qi-refining period, when he was still meditating in Qinghuatan.

"I really didn't expect that this low-level secret technique would still be used today."

Li Qing smiled jokingly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that there was no such thing as a useless secret technique. In the world of immortality, the principle of having too many skills to overwhelm one's body will never go out of style.

"Woodling Puppet"!

This is indeed an alternative puppet secret technique, but it is a method that targets spiritual trees and transforms them into living puppets.

Once it is refined, you will get a spiritual tree puppet that can be commanded like an arm!

But the only problem is that once these spiritual trees turn into puppets, they will lose all their vitality and will no longer be able to grow.

"I don't know if the magic willow can be used to refine it into a wood spirit puppet, but as of now, I can only give it a try."

With that said, Li Qing carefully read the secret book again. It recorded that as long as the spirit tree is alive and contains vitality, it can be refined into a wooden spirit puppet.

Finally, he personally deduced the secret technique and was convinced that as long as the person performing the secret technique was strong enough, it would be effective even on the oldest spiritual tree.

Once it is truly refined, Li Qing will once again have a powerful trump card in his hand.

Once the Demonic Willow turns into a wooden spirit puppet, Li Qing can't even imagine how powerful it will be. Ordinary Nascent Soul Stage monks should be able to easily sweep it away.

In this way, time passed quickly, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

The thorn iron tree that hid itself in the forbidden area of ​​the palace sent a warning sign at this moment:

"Here we come, I sense that there is a powerful force of life coming from the north!"

"The whole earth is trembling faintly. It is really too powerful. Why can it go so far?"

As a being of the same type, Thorn Iron Tree is most puzzled by this, why the willow tree rooted in the Black Wind Territory is so powerful.

The first person to hear the warning was Li Qing. He stood up slowly and looked far away at the dark sky in the north.

Although he couldn't see anything, he could feel an overwhelming momentum coming from that direction.

It’s really not simple!

Immediately afterwards, Miao Tuo immediately issued orders one after another, causing all the powerful Qi and Blood Warriors in the Blood Martial Dynasty to take action.

It has to be said that in recent years, because of the mysterious words Yan Xishan left before his death, the number of Qi-blood warriors in the entire dynasty has increased a lot.

There are twelve martial arts masters in Guiyi Realm alone, including Miao Tuo.

These are all talented people who have achieved great success in the Qi and Blood Martial Arts, and they have extremely high reputation and respected status in the entire Blood Martial Dynasty!

"Senior Li, I have ordered all the people in Qiushan Domain to evacuate in advance."

"The entire Qiushan Domain will be almost empty next, and the Demonic Willow will reach the foot of the royal city without any obstacles!"

"We will also face the Demonic Willow here!"

Li Qing looked calm and did not have any strange thoughts.

He nodded and said: "Well, then just wait for the magic willow to come over."

The Demonic Willow is extremely large. In their view, even the Demonic Willow has to pay a lot of effort to travel such a long distance and span a large area.

It should be much easier to fight him again then.

"It is said that the trees move the dead and the people move alive. In this strange world of polar night, even the willow trees can move freely."

Li Qing thought jokingly in his heart, and was somewhat looking forward to whether he could truly refine it into a powerful wood spirit puppet.

This kind of secret technique is actually quite useless in the world of immortality, because there are almost no monks who can refine the precious and rare old spiritual trees into wooden spirit puppets.

Such behavior is tantamount to killing the goose to obtain the eggs, it is simply a waste of natural resources!

But it is surprisingly appropriate to use it here now.

In this way, Li Qing waited for several days, but the magic willow still had not arrived, and the speed was somewhat slower than Li Qing's imagination.

"The pace seems to be slower than I expected."

Soon, the Thorn Iron Tree answered Li Qing's question: "Dark Willow's advancement seems to have been blocked, and its vigorous vitality has been stagnant for some time."

Li Qing was slightly startled, he didn't expect such an answer.

Is there anyone in the polar night world who can stop the Demonic Willow? This was indeed somewhat beyond Li Qing's expectation. He even felt that the Demonic Willow was almost invincible.

If it continues to develop unscrupulously, I am afraid that the entire polar night world will be occupied by it.

"Is this so"

"That's all, I'll go and see for myself what's stopping the Demonic Willow."

As he spoke, Li Qing's mind moved slightly, and a pair of silver-purple bone wings appeared behind him.

I saw the bone wings fluttering slightly, and instantly brought out a bolt of lightning, and Li Qing disappeared on the spot.
