The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

"According to the content of other techniques, it seems that the upper limit of True Law Realm's mana capacity is also different."

"It is also divided into upper, middle, and lower three grades, similar to the Dao Foundation."

"The Low Grade True Law Realm can only accommodate forty-nine strands of mana."

"The Middle Grade True Law Realm can accommodate eighty-one strands of mana."

"The High Grade True Law Realm can accommodate one hundred and eight strands of mana."

"I have the Supreme Dao Foundation, and my mana limit should have surpassed this level. The structure of three hundred and sixty-five strands of mana should be my limit."

"It's just right to complete the 'Mantra of the Golden Body of All Things'."

"The structure of three hundred and sixty-five strands of mana is equivalent to about four thousand four hundred and forty-one talisman-grade Essence Qi stones."

"The 'Five Qi Bronze' that I cooperate with Jixia Academy generates a profit of about five hundred talisman-grade Essence Qi stones every three months. It will still take at least a year and a half."

"But after a year, there may be a great disaster of dynastic change."

"At that time, it's hard to say whether Jixia Academy can still provide me with stable resources."

"Moreover, to be prepared, I must change my identity as soon as possible. Traveling around the world can be allowed, but I cannot personally appear."

Thinking of this, Li Qing sighed softly, "It seems that I have to try other methods."

That night, Li Qing began diligent reading.

He started reading all the information about the True Law Realm on the jade tablet, including his six new volumes.

The content above did undergo significant changes.

In particular, the 'Hundred Shadow Technique' has undergone a significant improvement.

The improvement lies in the more complicated refining process, which adds three days of cultivation time compared to before, and also adds a material called 'Dead Man's Blood'.

However, the effect is also very powerful. The projection intelligence of the shadow paper people is more intelligent, and each shadow paper person has gained a special ability.

Shadow Jump, this ability allows jumping between unconnected shadows.

Shadows seem to be a very peculiar spatial-temporal dimension. The shadow paper people can jump to the position of their companions at any time, and can also jump to the shadows within sight.

This gives the shadow paper people greater mobility, information gathering ability, and concealment.

Li Qing has decided to upgrade all of the shadow paper people.

Next, he discovered a wonderful spell that is also very useful to him at the moment.

It is called the 'Summoning Magic', and the effect of this spell is to summon mysterious and powerful creatures, the strength of which depends on the sacrifice offered.

'Summoning Magic' (Spell)

Cultivation method: Use human blood as ink, construct the 'Summoning Spell' with mana, form the spell structure, incorporate it into the body, and summon mysterious creatures, attracting them with the blood of the sacrifice. (Note: Frequent summoning of creatures may attract the attention of powerful creatures.)

Although this spell has a certain degree of danger, it is a constant source of wealth.

"Very well, then it's you."

Taking out a small bowl and a brush, Li Qing used a small knife to make a few quick cuts on his finger.

The blood dripped into the small bowl, and he began to write the 'Summoning Spell' on his left hand.

The eerie incantations quickly took shape, and soon these incantations began to squirm eerily, all converging in the palm of his left hand, then transforming into an invisible and wondrous structure, a mysterious black altar.

This altar was hidden in the center of his palm, where there was a peculiar orifice.

The entire process was calm, without any anomalies.

Li Qing left Jixia Academy, slightly altering his appearance and figure.

He went to a farmer's market and bought a chicken, then carried it to the outskirts of Dragon Path City, ten miles away, in a dense forest. He took a deep breath, held the chicken in his left hand, and a strand of mana diffused from his body, instantly injected into the 'Summoning Magic' on his left hand.

Something eerie happened. A strange black smoke emanated from his palm.

The black smoke quickly enveloped the chicken.

Under the shroud of the black smoke, the chicken underwent a strange transformation, instantly withering, and all of its Essence Qi was devoured.

Then, it seemed that the altar on his left hand emitted a strange signal, and the air in front of Li Qing suddenly underwent a strange change.

A bizarre illusory figure slowly materialized.

It was a creature with a body like a monkey, but with a human face, and its hair was eerily squirming.

The moment this creature appeared, its pair of dark green and ferocious eyes had already locked onto Li Qing.

The aura was probably at the talisman level, and Li Qing pointed his finger at it.

An invisible force silently fell on the creature.

'Heaven and Earth Rotating Wheel of Calamity Qi'

To Li Qing's surprise, the creature seemed to have suffered no damage.

Li Qing could feel the calamity Qi of the spell still entwined around the creature, but it seemed to have no obvious effect.

The creature suddenly moved and launched an attack towards Li Qing.

At that moment, it seemed that the spell cast by Li Qing triggered something.

Whoosh!

A piercing sound suddenly came from the sky.

The sound came so quickly that a dark shadow descended from the sky and instantly crashed onto the creature charging towards Li Qing.

Plop!

The creature didn't even have a chance to resist and was instantly shattered.

Seeing this scene, Li Qing's eyes revealed a hint of shock.

"What the heck is going on?"

As Li Qing pondered, he suddenly turned to look beside him.

The eerie woman in white seemed to have approached him slightly.

This woman in white had been appearing around him, always about a yard away from his position.

Now, it seemed that she had suddenly drawn closer to him, which was very strange.

Li Qing thought to himself, "Could it be that using the 'Summoning Magic' will make this mysterious woman in white get closer to me?"

"If she comes to me, or even touches me, what consequences will it bring?"

Thinking of this, Li Qing suddenly felt a chill.

His gaze then fell on a stone, a stone about the size of a human head, but he didn't know where it came from.

A large pit was blasted into the ground, and the creature had completely turned into a bloody mess, rapidly decaying into a black liquid.

Finally, it turned into a black liquid.

Li Qing kicked the stone away and saw a round and smooth Essence Qi stone in the pit.

A smile crept onto his lips, "This is indeed a good way to collect Essence Qi stones."

"But I must solve the problem of this woman in white. She has been following me for a long time."

"Now that my innate spells have undergone a major change, I wonder if they can deal with her."

"If not, perhaps I'll have to rely on the 'Encyclopedia of Talismans of the World' and use the Exorcism Talisman."

The effect of this talisman is to expel all evil energy, and it can be refined into a jade talisman. When worn for a long time, it can spontaneously produce effects and provide early warnings.
