Chapter 1969: Second Level of Spiritualization
Let’s not talk about other things for now. Qingyang sat for three days and finally absorbed and refined the small bite of True Spirit Mu Shen Fruit he had eaten before. His cultivation level was also greatly improved. His cultivation level in the Transformation Realm was completely consolidated. Just this small bite was completely comparable to others sitting for decades.
No wonder Saint Zixuan and his men put the reward of the True Spirit Mu Shen Fruit on the eighth floor, and it was necessary to defeat two of themselves to get it. The difficulty was almost extreme. However, the True Spirit Mu Shen Fruit was also a good thing. It could improve the cultivation level of the Transformation Realm cultivator by one level. The whole fruit was equivalent to hundreds of years of hard work.
Qingyang did not waste time. He took out the True Spirit Mu Shen Fruit and took another small bite. He began to absorb and refine it for the second time. After refining, he continued to eat it. It took a full half a month. Only a core was left of the whole fruit. At this time, Qingyang’s cultivation level had successfully broken through to the second level of the Transformation Realm, and he was a more senior one. The effect of the whole fruit was brought to the extreme.
In fact, this has something to do with Qingyang's cultivation. The True Spirit Mu Shen Fruit can improve the cultivation of a Divine Transformation cultivator by one level. This is just a rough concept. As we all know, cultivation is easier in the early stages, and more difficult in the later stages. The energy required is different. The late stage of Divine Transformation is more difficult than the early stage of Divine Transformation. Therefore, taking the True Spirit Mu Shen Fruit in the middle stage of Divine Transformation can basically improve one level of cultivation. The effect will be worse in the late stage of Divine Transformation, and the improvement will be greater in the early stage of Divine Transformation.
When Qingyang was still in the Nascent Soul stage, he could fight with the fifth and sixth level cultivators of the Spiritualization stage. After breaking through the late stage of the Spiritualization stage, even if he could not beat the late stage of the Spiritualization stage, he was not much behind. Now Qingyang has broken through to the level of the senior second level of the Spiritualization stage. Now his strength is not much inferior to that of the eighth level of the Spiritualization stage. Given time, it would be easy for him to surpass the old man of the Duckweed and become the first person in the Duckweed Illusion. It's a pity that Qingyang is an outsider. The cultivators of the Duckweed Continent do not recognize him. Moreover, his goal is to go to the spirit world and he cannot stay here forever. So he still has to find a way to escape to the endless void under the siege of the old man of the Duckweed and others.
Let's not talk about other things for now. After refining the True Spirit Mu Shen Fruit, Qingyang did not stop practicing immediately, but continued to practice the skills to stabilize his cultivation. It was not until another half a month later that Qingyang's state was completely stabilized. Then he got up from the ground. It was time to leave the Duckweed Continent.
In fact, Qingyang didn't know that the City Lord's Mansion of Fuping City was in a mess at this time. The reason why those Divine Transformation cultivators were still staying in Fuping City was to guard Qingyang and prevent him from taking the benefits of Fuping Illusion and escaping. How could he be out of surveillance for a long time? Therefore, before Qingyang moved in, Fuping Patriarch and others had already set up many special means to monitor Qingyang in his residence, which were the suspicious places that Qingyang dealt with before entering the Drunken Immortal Gourd.
A month ago, Fuping Patriarch and others noticed the abnormality. They knew that the surveillance means they set up were destroyed by Qingyang. It was not easy to question Qingyang in person. Qingyang would not let them restore these surveillance means. Besides, who would not have some privacy? Maybe Qingyang was going to retreat and didn't want them to see it. As long as everyone guarded the exit, there would be no problem.
Who knew that they would wait for more than half a month, and there was no movement in Qingyang's secret room. The old man Fu Ping and others were a little worried. Although they were guarding the exit, there were countless means in the world of immortal cultivation, especially for an outsider like Qingyang. What if there was a way to hide their whereabouts that they didn't know? If Qingyang ran away, wouldn't they be empty-handed?
After hesitating again and again, they decided to find out, otherwise they would be unsure. At least they had to make sure that Qingyang was still at his residence every once in a while, so one of them visited him in the name of discussing cultivation experience. As a result, Qingyang was consolidating his cultivation in the Drunken Immortal Gourd at that time, and he didn't pay attention to the visit of the person outside. In fact, Qingyang did this deliberately to create opportunities.
The cultivator knocked on the door several times but no one answered, and even deliberately touched the formation outside but there was no response. The old man Fu Ping and others were even more unsure. Could it be that as everyone thought, this Qingyang had a sophisticated hiding method and actually escaped their surveillance and ran away?
So the old man Fu Ping and others came together, broke the prohibition outside, and forced his way into Qingyang's residence. Several cultivators of the Transformation Realm used their divine thoughts to search the entire house from top to bottom. There was not even a bug in such a large residence, let alone Qingyang, a living person. The old man Fu Ping and others used various means to search and confirm again and again. They even sent countless people to turn over every inch of bricks and tiles, but they did not find anything abnormal. Qingyang really disappeared.
The old man Fu Ping was immediately shocked. Under the surveillance of so many people, there were six late-stage Transformation Realm cultivators. How did Qingyang, who had just broken through the Transformation Realm, escape? Could he really have extremely clever concealment methods to avoid the surveillance of so many people? It was really hard to figure it out.
It was useless for the old man Fu Ping and others to figure it out. The facts were in front of them. They had to find Qingyang as soon as possible, otherwise the previous few months would not be in vain? If others knew that so many of their late-stage Transformation Realm ancestors could not defend a first-level Transformation Realm, where would they put their old faces in the future? Besides, the treasures in the floating duckweed illusion were left to everyone by the senior monks, so how could they be taken away by others for nothing?
However, they also understood that the more sophisticated the concealment method, the greater the cost. Qingyang probably hadn't run far yet, so it should still be in time to chase him now. The ancestors were all decisive people, and they immediately decided to split up and chase him. So they split up into groups of two and chased him in various directions. They found that Qingyang could be temporarily delayed, and sent a signal to call for everyone to support. In their minds, Qingyang was a junior who had just broken through the transformation of the spirit, and any late-stage transformation of the spirit could deal with him. The reason for calling for everyone to support was to prevent someone from embezzling the treasures of the floating duckweed illusion.
When Qingyang stopped practicing, it was the most chaotic time in the floating duckweed city. The transformation of the spirit cultivators went out to chase Qingyang, and the remaining cultivators were led by the True Lord Chiping and were searching for suspicious persons everywhere. On the contrary, there was no one guarding the city lord's mansion. Although Qingyang did this on purpose, he didn't know the situation outside, so he quietly released an ordinary alcoholic bee to get information.
In the chaos, it was difficult for the low-level spirit bees to attract the attention of the cultivators in Duckweed City. The alcoholic bee quickly found out the situation outside. There were no Divine Transformation cultivators in Duckweed City, so why not leave now? So Qingyang flashed out of the Drunken Immortal Gourd space and flew out of the city at the fastest speed.
