The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

Sitting quietly, feeling the terrifying roar within his body, the countless cells were making crackling sounds.

A dense sound formed, but this sound only resonated in his mind and did not transmit outside.

The Essence Qi throughout his body was crazily consumed, and the Myriad Laws' Essence Qi seemed to merge into every single cell.

Until a day and night had passed, all the Essence Qi was finally completely depleted.

Li Qing woke up from a daze, feeling as if every cell in his body had been rejuvenated.

He had a feeling that his cells had not yet reached their limit, and there was a strange sense of hunger in his body.

His body felt empty, devoid of even a trace of Essence Qi, and all his strength had been drained.

Only the seven spell structures in his elixir field quietly floated in the empty elixir field.

He also found ten Essence Qi stones on those corpses.

Together with the remaining twelve in his hand, there were a total of twenty-two.

He took them all out, and the Jade Tablet trembled slightly, swallowing all the Essence Qi.

Then it released twenty-two strands of pure Essence Qi, circulating throughout his body.

After a brief circulation, Li Qing frowned.

The Myriad Laws' Essence Qi in his body had only recovered by 22%.

He felt that he seemed to need to re-accumulate the limit of Essence Qi. After a cell strengthening, not only Essence Qi was consumed, but even the existence limit of Essence Qi was completely depleted.

There seemed to be some kind of wonderful characteristic in this.

Frowning slightly, he shook his head slowly.

"It looks like trouble now. Body Strengthening doesn't seem to be a one-time completion."

"Every time, the source of Essence Qi needs to be consumed, and then the limit of Essence Qi needs to be re-accumulated."

"Fortunately, I still have a lot of resources in my hands. If I sell all 30 Law Weapons, I probably won't get few Essence Qi stones."

"I need to find a suitable place to sell them."

"There should also be a Hundred Gates Alley in Sanchuan City."

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and Li Qing's gaze fell on the Law Weapons on the ground.

Now that his spells were complete, there was a Spirit Summoning Brand on the Law Weapon, as well as a sword pellet, both of which were extremely powerful.

The Spirit Summoning Brand consumed very little and mainly attacked the spirit and soul, with an exceptionally amazing effect.

It had been damaged last time, but now it had fully recovered.

The sword pellet consumed a lot and had tremendous power, which could be used as a trump card but not frequently.

"So, now I lack a defensive Law Weapon and a regular-use offensive Law Weapon."

Among the thirty Law Weapons, most of them looked somewhat sinister.

Only six of them were truly suitable for him and leaned towards the righteous path.

He set his sights on a golden flying needle, which could transform into dozens of needle shadows once used, with the true body becoming elusive and impossible to be truly seen by others.

It could be used for direct combat as well as assassination.

As for the defensive Law Weapon, there was a cotton-like misty robe that, when activated, would turn into a gray cloud of mist covering the entire body.

There was also a green scholar's robe, which was also a defensive Law Weapon. When attacked, it would naturally emit a green light to protect the user, and it was a passive effect.

Capable of both offense and defense, coupled with a set of spells, there were basically no obvious flaws.

After selecting three Law Weapons, Li Qing began to organize his gains from this time.

First, all the cultivation methods were packed into the Universe Bag, which could be sold when the opportunity arose.

In the second Universe Bag, there were 27 Law Weapons.

In the third Universe Bag, there were all kinds of medicinal herbs and exotic items and materials.

After tidying up, he put the Universe Bag into the sleeve of his green robe.

After adjusting his appearance and demeanor, he quietly set off towards Sanchuan City using the All Things Escape Technique.

...

Using the All Things Escape Technique, Li Qing returned to the inn where he lived.

Everything here was as it was, without any changes.

Li Qing ordered a table of food and sat in a window seat, observing the street below.

All the people on the street seemed calm, as if they had not been disturbed at all.

The events of the day before yesterday at dawn seemed completely unknown to them, as they went about their lives as usual, chatting and laughing.

He thought to himself, "It seems that everyone's memories have been wiped clean."

"It's as if they never woke up that day."

After filling his stomach, Li Qing went to Sanchuan City and began to search for the Hundred Gates Alley.

The Hundred Gates Alley not only existed in Jade City but also in every major city of the Great Tang Dynasty.

Using the All Things Escape Technique, Li Qing quickly circled the entire Sanchuan City and found the Hundred Gates Alley.

This Hundred Gates Alley was open even during the day.

Standing in front of the Hundred Gates Alley, there was a faint sense of mystery here.

Ordinary people completely ignored it and walked straight past.

The Hundred Gates Alley was located in a gloomy alley, with few passersby, perhaps the reason it was open during the day.

Li Qing thought to himself and took a deep breath before walking in.

Passing through a layer of mysterious power, a bustling scene emerged.

It was extremely lively here, much larger than the Hundred Gates Alley in Jade City.

At this point, Li Qing was already wearing a black robe, completely concealing his appearance, and emitting a strange fragrance, quietly observing.

His Eyes of the Sun and Moon saw through countless illusions, gazing at the practitioners around him.

Most of the Independent Cultivators selling their wares on the street were normal, with very few showing signs of deviation.

He thought to himself, "It seems that in the normal Independent Cultivator community, there should be some regulations in their inheritance."

His gaze swept over the shops on both sides of the street, where there were very few people, only one or two cultivators in each shop.

These cultivators were all normal, without any signs of deviation, indicating that they strictly adhered to their own regulations.

Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind, "Regulations might be the weak point of practitioners."

"If we can exploit the weak points of practitioners, even high-level practitioners might fall into traps, enter a state of deviation, and ultimately meet their demise."

"So the deeper the cultivation, the more spells one practices, the more vulnerabilities there will be."

"So far, I have hardly seen any high-level practitioners, perhaps to avoid being targeted by others."

"So are they all old foxes?"

A strange thought flashed through his mind as Li Qing observed for a while, taking in the entire sixty-yard-long street.

There were at least fifty different shops, each representing various forces.

There were over three hundred Independent Cultivators selling their wares on the street, and over two hundred practitioners shuttling through the street.

Li Qing chose a shop called Baoyue Tower, which specialized in selling Law Weapons.

As he entered, the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, please have a seat. I am the shopkeeper of Baoyue Tower, Yu Qingfeng."
