Immortal Refiner

An ancient beast hiding in the lake?

Li Qing's pupils suddenly shrank. He was flying in the air and had no time to avoid being swallowed by the ancient beast.

He couldn't even see the beast clearly. Li Qing only felt that the light around him suddenly turned black, and then his body felt hot and slippery.

He was actually swallowed by this ancient beast that suddenly appeared!

"What a terrifying explosive power, I can't avoid it at all!" Li Qing, who fell into the mouth of the beast, exclaimed, and then he felt a squeeze, and the whole person suddenly lost weight and fell down.

The ancient beast didn't even chew, and swallowed Li Qing into its stomach in one bite.

Li Qing, who was in the belly of the ancient beast, just wanted to use his magic power to kill the ancient beast from the inside, but the next moment, the entire dark space completely suppressed him.

"Good fellow, this is going to refine me directly in the stomach, what a big appetite." Li Qing's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he gritted his teeth and whispered.

The stomach of this beast is very strange, it actually has a suppressive effect on spiritual power. It is very difficult to activate the magic power inside, as if you are in a quagmire.

Then, a wave of sound came from the dark space.

The highly corrosive gastric juice surged, and just at the moment of contact, Li Qing felt a burning and stinging sensation on his skin.

Feeling his current situation, Li Qing finally knew what kind of ancient beast swallowed him in one gulp.

"The spirit-eating beast looks like a hippopotamus, but it has a layer of bone shell around its body. It is good at swallowing everything to strengthen itself. Even many precious spirit golds cannot stop this refining."

"What bad luck! If I can't get out in a short time, I'm afraid I will be refined completely."

Li Qing sighed. He didn't expect to meet such a difficult ancient beast as soon as he entered the Tianguang Secret Realm.

In its belly, he not only found it difficult to activate the mana in his body, but even the vitality between heaven and earth was completely isolated, and he couldn't sense the existence of the vitality of heaven and earth at all.

In addition, wrapped in this sticky gastric juice, Li Qing's strength was also rapidly fading, and the strength of his physical body could not play a big role.

It is obvious that this spirit-eating beast is very well prepared. It has killed many powerful beings with this method without any problems. It is not worried that the prey will break through its body.

However, no matter how dangerous the situation is, Li Qing quickly calmed his mind and entered an extremely calm state.

He analyzed his current situation in the shortest possible time and then made a judgment.

"The soul-eating beast is indestructible inside, but it can be easily killed by attacking from the outside."

"No wonder it hides itself in the lake. This guy is really cunning."

Li Qing's thoughts flashed quickly in his mind, and he came up with two ways to break the situation at the first time.

The first way is to wait for rescue and waste time in the soul-eating beast's belly. As long as someone from the outside finds the soul-eating beast in the lake, it can be easily killed.

Because the soul-eating beast is in the most vulnerable state during the process of refining the food in its belly, human cultivators of the same level can easily kill it.

"I'm afraid this method is not very good. The location of falling into the Tianguang Secret Realm is random, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be other friendly beings near me."

"And this soul-eating beast is very cunning. It hides at the bottom of the lake, and even my consciousness can't detect its existence."

Li Qing rejected this method at the first time. Wasting time with it is tantamount to waiting for death.

The second method is to give up resistance immediately, let yourself face a life-and-death crisis, and then use the corpse puppet brought from the lower world to resist a death calamity.

But Li Qing didn't know whether he could escape from this closed stomach space after the corpse puppet protected him from a death calamity.

"This method should be effective. Even if I can't escape from its belly, I can use the corpse puppet to deceive the soul-eating beast and make it stop refining me."

"After that, I just need to use my strongest means in an instant to kill this soul-eating beast."

But in this way, a precious substitute corpse puppet will be lost.

This kind of thing, which is equivalent to his second life, only has two left. One of them was knocked off by the Taoist body of the Wuxiang Saint Ancestor during his ascension. He was reluctant to use it on this.

Moreover, the stomach of this soul-eating beast is an excellent thing, which can be used to refine some special treasures!

So, he decided to use the third method!

These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. It seemed that a long time had passed, but it was just a flash of lightning.

In an instant, Li Qing made a decision.

In the belly of the soul-eating beast, he could not use magic and physical strength, so he still had a third power!

The long-lost Kunpeng treasure technique suddenly started to work in his body, and the heavy Kunpeng power flowed in his body.

Li~!

A sharp scream like a thousand birds wailing resounded in the belly of the soul-eating beast, and the powerful Kunpeng power surged out of Li Qing's body.

"Kunpeng Botiantu!"

At this moment, all the gastric juice attached to Li Qing's body surface was shaken open, and the power unique to Kunpeng burst out from his body.

In the belly of the soul-eating beast, it seemed that a Kunpeng appeared and was tumbling endlessly, and a series of killing techniques were performed.

Not long after, at the bottom of the lake that had just returned to tranquility, a huge soul-eating beast opened its eyes, and its pupils were filled with fear.

For so many years, its invincible means actually encountered an existence that it could not swallow smoothly for the first time.

"Roar!"

The soul-eating beast roared in pain and wanted to spit out Li Qing. The severe pain from its abdomen made it unbearable.

But it was too late. His body was suddenly pierced by a Kunpeng claw, which was transformed by Li Qing's palm.

Then, the palm that looked like Kunpeng's claw was retracted and then stretched out again.

Kunpeng stretched out his claws, but this time, Li Qing directly crushed the heart of the soul-eating beast, and other organs were also shattered in Kunpeng's divine power.

Soon, the bottom of the lake was stained with thick scarlet blood, and the vitality of the soul-eating beast quickly disappeared.

After feeling that the mana in his body was no longer suppressed, Li Qing rushed out immediately.

He looked at the blood-stained bottom of the lake, and a look of heartache flowed in his eyes. These were all the real blood of wild beasts. If he took them back to Xuan Gu City, he could sell them for a very good price.

Fortunately, its blood essence was in its body and did not flow out immediately, otherwise Li Qing would be extremely distressed.

Without saying anything, he immediately put the dead soul-eating beast into the storage bag, so as not to waste its true blood.

"This harvest is not bad. I killed a soul-eating beast equivalent to the late stage of the transformation of the spirit directly. Its blood essence and stomach are worth a lot."

"The only pity is that the stomach has been damaged. If I want to refine it into a rare treasure, I am afraid there will be some flaws. I will have to spend more time on it."

If he can kill this soul-eating beast outside, he should be able to harvest a complete stomach. At that time, even if he refines it a little, he can turn it into a powerful rare treasure.

Once the enemy is collected in this rare treasure, I am afraid that he will be helpless.

No matter the magic power or the physical power, it is difficult to use, unless he has the third powerful killing power like Li Qing.

For example, some cultivators with special physiques, or powerful races like the True Spirit Kunpeng, who have exclusive blood inheritance.

"In fact, the ultimate soul attack and killing technique can also break the situation, but although I have been nourishing my soul over the years, I have not cultivated any powerful soul attack and killing techniques."

"I will find a way to make up for this when I have time!"

After doing all this and confirming the results of the battle, Li Qing was ready to leave the blood-stained lake bottom.

But soon he stopped his movements and continued to dive, coming to the rugged bottom of the lake.

There was no fish swimming here, and the surroundings were scarlet, all of which were lake water stained with the true blood of the soul-eating beast.

Li Qing found that the lake water with blood did not continue to spread, but slowly settled down to the bottom of the lake.

"All this blood has been absorbed? There is something wrong with the bottom of the lake!"

Li Qing, who performed the Kunpeng treasure technique, turned into the form of a swimming Kun at this moment, and could move freely in the water without being affected at all.

He quietly watched the blood-stained lake water go deep into the ground and finally disappear.

The water level of the entire lake dropped a lot, and it all seeped into the unknown lake bottom.

After all the blood-stained lake water was infiltrated, the surroundings returned to a clear and bright state, and the lake bottom below, which was full of silt, also revealed an ancient pattern.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"It is really strange. Today is really a blessing in disguise."

"But these real bloods alone may not be enough to open the secrets of the lake bottom. More is needed!"

Li Qing naturally couldn't bleed himself, so he took out a white jade porcelain bottle.

It contained the essence of the yellow skin. A yellow skin in the fifth-level transformation stage only extracted three bottles of essence.

It is very valuable. At the beginning, the young master of the Hou family in Xuan Ancient City came to him to force him to buy it, but he didn't sell it because he had other uses for it.

At present, it may take more real blood to open the secrets at the bottom of the lake. Li Qing simply took out a bottle of yellow-skinned blood and poured it out carefully.

These blood essences did not spread like ordinary blood. Even if they fell into the lake, they still maintained the complete appearance of a drop of blood essence and did not dissolve in water.

As a bottle of blood essence was poured out, the ancient veins and traces at the bottom of the lake absorbed all the blood essences.

Soon, a layer of halo rippled, and a hole appeared in the center of the lake bottom, like a giant beast opening its bloody mouth.

A large amount of lake water poured into it, and a whirlpool appeared on the lake surface.

Seeing this, Li Qing rushed directly into the hole that looked like the mouth of a giant beast. After entering, he used his own magic power to seal the hole so that the lake water would no longer pour in.

He was afraid that the lake would dry up at that time, which would attract other people who entered the Tianguang Secret Realm to investigate.

"Blood is really needed to unlock the secrets at the bottom of the lake. If ordinary beasts were hiding at the bottom of the lake, they would have noticed the abnormality at the bottom of the lake long ago."

"But the Soul Devouring Beast is different. This ancient beast eats people without leaving out bones. Not to mention blood, even a hair will not be spared. It will be refined directly in the stomach bag."

After entering the entrance to the bottom of the lake, Li Qing said with anticipation in his eyes.

This entrance is very deep. After isolating the lake water above, the sound of the water flowing into the lake below can still be heard.

After a long time, a basement appeared in Li Qing's sight. All the water flow was completely drained here.

Before Li Qing moved his feet, the stone door of this basement opened automatically.

Boom!

When he saw the situation inside, Li Qing's heart skipped a beat.

The first thing that caught his eye was a transparent crystal coffin, in which lay a withered skeleton. The withered skeleton was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and had not decayed for who knows how many years.

"Hiss!"

"I'm afraid this is the real golden jade clothes. Compared with this, the golden jade clothes I made in the lower world are nothing."

The gorgeous clothes worn by the withered skeleton seemed to be woven from gold threads, and there was a layer of inner armor like the nine-day black jade inside. The whole was natural, and there was no trace of refining.

"At least a mysterious spiritual treasure. No, it may even be a spiritual treasure of the earth grade!"

Li Qing made a judgment at the first time, and the burning in his eyes became more intense.

He couldn't help but walk forward and wanted to open the transparent crystal coffin!

But before he touched the coffin cover with his hand, a sharp pain came from the palm of his hand.

At this time, he realized that the crystal coffin was not suspended in the air by itself, but was suspended in the air by a string of transparent tough silk threads.

"It is a crystal silk specially made by sacrifice. I am afraid that the spiritual material must be hammered and sacrificed hundreds of thousands of times to be able to make such silk threads."

"This kind of refining technique is really unheard of."

At this moment, Li Qing did not dare to move around casually. These crystal threads were so tough and sharp that even his body could not resist them.

Just now, he just touched it slightly with his hand, and a blood mark appeared on his palm.

"It is really a strange way to refine the weapon into silk. Even the consciousness cannot easily detect the existence of these silk threads."

"It is definitely the best raw material to use it as a hidden weapon to hurt people."

"I wonder if this kind of refining method is hidden in this underground room."

Yes, in addition to this transparent crystal coffin, there is also a stone table in the underground room, on which are placed rolls of affairs like notes.

These notes have been weathered for who knows how many years. If there is any disturbance, they will probably turn into ashes.

So Li Qing did not dare to act rashly, but instead extended his spiritual consciousness and memorized the contents of the notes in his mind.

"Some are written in the common language of the spirit world, and some runes are very strange, and I can't understand what they mean at all."

"No matter what, I will memorize them all and explore them in the future."

The last article in the note written in the common language of the spirit world reads:

"I have a feeling that my death is approaching. It seems that my grievances have not been washed away in the end. Until now, no one from the same clan has come to release me and return my magic power."

"I am unwilling to accept this. Isn't there anyone who has overturned the case for me? I have to bear all the sins alone. This is unfair."

"Have they forgotten me for so many years? The promises they made at the beginning."

"Haha, it seems that this crystal coffin that I made with my own hands has actually buried me, and the only burial object is this golden brocade dress."

"It's really ridiculous."

The note only left these words at the end. Even after many years, Li Qing can still feel the strong unwillingness and regret of the owner of the coffin.
