The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

Li Qing emerged from the shadows, a smug smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

"Willing to trade?"

"Willing to trade," the man in the green robe replied with a hint of resignation.

He was truly tempted by this spell, and although he felt a bit shortchanged, he still agreed to the trade.

From his pocket, Li Qing took out a scripture he had written, titled "Lunar Shadow Art."

He had already considered exchanging goods in other cities, and this "Lunar Shadow Art" was the only thing he had that had no restrictions and could be freely traded.

Other cultivation methods were simply impossible to exchange, some due to contractual agreements, and others because they were too perfect and too important to be traded.

The man in the green robe took the "Lunar Shadow Art" and carefully read it, confirming the correctness of this cultivation method.

He had silently studied the incantations within and was certain that they could evoke wondrous Essence Qi.

Li Qing, disguised as a macaque, picked up the Essence Qi stone, copper bells, and copper pieces.

The Essence Qi stone quietly disappeared into his hand, while the copper bells and pieces were tucked into his embrace.

He left the place, the Essence Qi within him now reaching 11%.

Li Qing quickly departed. The biggest gains of the night were the copper pieces and the Essence Qi stone.

When he returned to Sanchuan City, he was surprised to find some figures on the city wall.

All of these figures were cultivators, and some of them exuded particularly profound auras, which he had only felt from Demon Slaying Temple's leader, Huang Tairen, Prefect Fang Qingyu, and the Blood Spirit Young Master.

Silently, he employed the All Things Escape technique and slipped into the city from another side.

He didn't want to be caught by those people; it would be troublesome if he were discovered.

Back at the inn, he couldn't wait to take out the copper piece and examine it carefully.

Infusing it with Myriad Laws Essence Qi, wondrous information appeared on it.

It was a series of bronze-colored characters, manifesting their original form within the Myriad Laws Essence Qi.

Li Qing pondered silently, "Myriad Laws Essence Qi seems to have another crucial function."

"It can activate most treasures that require special Essence Qi to activate."

"Such as the sword pellet in my hand, and this piece of copper."

As he contemplated this, the image of the Jade Tablet once again underwent a change.

New Version

"Sun-Moon Divine Eye Art" (Spell)

During this period, circulate the Myriad Laws Essence Qi in the eye acupoints and blood vessels diagram. Upon success, one can see through various illusions.

Cost: None

Looking at the cultivation method of the New Version, Li Qing's eyes revealed a faint joy.

"This is quite fortunate; I can start practicing tonight."

"Being able to see through various illusions, and this spell doesn't require absorbing external Essence Qi."

"It's very suitable for my cultivation."

With that in mind, he immediately began to prepare, picking up a brush from the inn's desk.

Then, he released some blood into a teacup.

He quickly inscribed the "Divine Eye Incantation" in front of a mirror and then vanished from the place.

He needed to find a suitable location where he could observe the movements of the sun and moon.

About half an hour later, he had arrived at a high mountain outside the city.

He sat on the tallest tree on the mountain and silently waited for the sunrise.

Time always passed quickly.

The first rays of sunlight between heaven and earth rose, brightening the world in an instant.

A streak of morning glow rose from the horizon, and Li Qing's gaze remained fixed.

The fiery red light shone into his eyes, and the Myriad Laws Essence Qi circulated within his eyes. He could clearly feel the changes in the acupoints and blood vessels in his eyes, all slightly stimulated by the sunlight.

As time passed, Li Qing's gaze remained fixed on the sky's radiance.

For a whole day, he kept his head up, tracking the sun in the sky.

Until the sun set at night, Li Qing felt that his eyes were filled with countless lights, as if the world's light had been confined within his eyes.

If anyone were to look at his eyes, they would find that his pupils had turned into a golden color, completely unlike those of a normal human.

At this moment, the moon also rose, and Li Qing's eyes turned to the moon, silently tracking its light.

In the blink of an eye, another night passed, and Li Qing's eyes had returned to normal.

He could feel that his eyes had undergone a tremendous change, and the world seemed to become clearer at that moment.

Many things that were previously unclear became extremely clear, especially the Essence Qi emanating from countless lives in the forest.

Every strand, every wisp, could not escape his gaze, and his clear vision could even reach a hundred meters.

Even an ant a hundred meters away could be seen clearly, as if through a precise camera.

Li Qing hadn't eaten for a day, and his stomach was growling. Shaking his head, he vanished from the place.

As the sky brightened once again, a day had already passed after a day of sunrise and moonset.

Back in Sanchuan City, Li Qing immediately indulged in feasting and drinking at the tavern.

Satisfying his appetite, a whole day passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Qing watched the setting sun once again, feeling a slight sense of emotion.

"I didn't expect it to be three days with just this delay."

"Let's leave tomorrow. Tonight, I'll take another look, in case the Ghost Market is still open."

"Perhaps with these eyes, I might gain something unexpected."

Having cultivated the "Sun-Moon Divine Eye Art," even without using mana, he had the ability to see through illusions and perceive reality directly.

This was a change in his organ, not just a simple spell.

Li Qing felt the change in his eyes and pondered silently.

As night fell once again, the chaotic Essence Qi appeared in the sky.

Li Qing left with a happy expression, intending to seize another opportunity tonight.

For this purpose, he had specially written five copies of the "Lunar Shadow Art" as exchange items.

When he returned to the Ghost Market, Li Qing continued to disguise himself as a macaque.

A hint of peculiarity flashed in his eyes, as he now saw many real things.

The Ghost Market before him was like a chaotic dance of demons.

Many people had various strange organs growing on their bodies, or obvious signs of decay and disease.

Especially the monsters, they had the most bizarre mutations, looking extremely strange.

For example, a goat monster that walked past him had a large goat head on its shoulders, wearing a human robe.

But at the back of this goat head, a crack had appeared at some point.

Within the crack were a row of sharp teeth and a tongue, which was occasionally wagging, and the sharp mouth was opening and closing from time to time.

"Is there no one intact here?"
