Chapter 139: Practice

After the situation in Shengtian was settled, the Wu Dynasty fell into complete chaos.

The various grassland tribes brought by Tuwahar were naturally unwilling to be defeated and returned to the grassland.

The imperial city could not be defended, and these tribes from the grassland retreated to Yunzhou, and they also became a considerable force.

However, without Tuwahar to provide them with life-saving talismans, facing the constant assassinations of Fengguo warriors, such resistance would not last long.

The restoration of Feng Dynasty is just around the corner.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Li Qing. After killing Tuwahar, he got the immortal token and "Tuyuan Jue" and retired to the blacksmith shop again.

No matter how chaotic the situation in the world and the martial arts world are, he doesn't want to pay more attention to it.

A month passed quietly. Li Qing, who had been comprehending "Tuyuan Jue" during this period, felt a little numb on his scalp.

Because he hadn't gotten started for a month, this method of cultivating immortals was much more difficult than he had imagined.

"The gap between the immortal way and the martial way is so big." Li Qing sighed, wondering if he really didn't have spiritual roots and couldn't cultivate immortals.

However, Li Qing didn't give up. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and he had a lot of life to try slowly.

During this period of time, he forged a lot of sophisticated weapons. Although they were not magic weapons, the quality was quite good.

Thinking of this, Li Qing glanced at his remaining lifespan, and the number of 178 was clearly visible.

Yes, by forging those weapons, his lifespan not only did not decrease, but also increased slightly.

In addition to the five years of life that he had gained from successfully forging the Wandering Dragon Dagger, he can now live to over 200 years old!

The only problem is that forging an ordinary weapon now can only increase his lifespan by one month.

Fortunately, he still has a small piece of meteorite iron from outer space, which is the remaining after forging the Wandering Dragon Dagger.

There is not much weight, only the size of two fists in total, it is impossible to use it to forge weapons, you can only grind some out each time, integrate it into the bone-penetrating nail, and forge it into a deadly hidden weapon, the death nail!

Li Qing, who has been comprehending the "Earth Yuan Jue" for such a long time, is a little sleepy at this time, and is about to close his eyes and sleep for a while.

However, not long after, he keenly heard extremely subtle movements coming from the beams of the house. If he was not a martial arts master, he might not be able to detect it.

Hearing this movement, Li Qing just smiled slightly, and did not open his eyes, but still kept his eyes closed and pretended to sleep.

Soon, a hand quietly touched the snow-silver dragon dagger on his waist.

Snap!

In the dark, Li Qing slapped the movement of the thief's hand accurately and neatly.

"You guy, you don't comprehend the Earth Origin Art properly. You've been trying to take some things from me for a month. This time, you even tried to steal my Dragon Dagger."

"If you do it again, I'll have to chop off your hand."

Li Qing's tone was not very angry, but rather a little teasing. Obviously, he knew who this thief was.

"Hehe, Brother Li, you are so boring. You've become a martial arts master, but you're still staring at that immortal cultivation technique all day long. You're still awake at this time."

"Did you just comprehend the Earth Origin Art?"

The person who spoke lit up the oil lamp in the blacksmith shop as he was familiar with it, while scolding, illuminating the room.

At this time, Li Qing also opened his eyes and looked at the man in front of him.

Yes, it was Ning Yuan, the star-picking thief he rescued from the palace a month ago.

After the two came out of the palace, their relationship improved a lot. They were not close friends, but there was no problem drinking together.

Ning Yuan was holding a jar of Li Qing's favorite winter plum wine, sitting on the table by himself, pouring a glass for himself and Li Qing respectively.

"Come and try it, this jar of winter plum wine is aged, at least thirty or fifty years old, and is regarded as the treasure of the Taoyuan Restaurant, and it is not even sold. It took me a lot of effort to get it here."

Looking at this familiar posture, people who don't know would probably think that Ning Yuan is the owner here.

Li Qing couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw this, but he still sat down honestly, wanting to taste this jar of aged winter plum wine to see what it tasted like.

"You guy, don't you remember the lesson in the palace? You always do some sneaky things." Li Qing teased.

At this point, Ning Yuan bared his teeth and said, "Damn, who knows that the dog emperor of the grassland would actually set up a trap in his secret vault, and he is not afraid of hurting himself."

"And who said I didn't learn from it? Look at what this is!"

As he said, Ning Yuan spread out his collar, revealing a layer of soft armor inside.

Seeing this scene, Li Qing couldn't help but laugh, thinking that this guy is really a living treasure.

What he called learning from it was not to give up stealing, but to wear an extra layer of protective armor when stealing.

In this regard, Li Qing didn't know what to say, but just persuaded helplessly: "It's not easy to get such a cultivation method. It's something that many emperors dream of. You don't practice well, and always waste time on it. It's a pity!"

In fact, after the relationship between the two improved, Li Qing didn't mind letting Ning Yuan copy a copy of "Tu Yuan Jue" and let him practice with him, so that the two could be companions.

However, Li Qing would definitely not return the so-called Immortal Token to him. Ning Yuan had stolen it from Jiulian Sect anyway, so he had no psychological burden at all on this.

Having said this, Ning Yuan's expression dimmed slightly, but soon returned to normal.

"Hey, who said I don't want to cultivate immortality, but just a few days ago I thoroughly understood the technique, sensed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as mentioned above, and tried to refine the energy into my body, but I didn't feel the so-called refinement at all. ”

"Probably, I should be a person without spiritual roots."

"Forget it, forget it, you can't cultivate immortality without spiritual roots, and I'm too lazy to try. What's the matter, you haven't given up yet?"

Faced with this problem, Li Qing was embarrassed to say that he had not yet started, and he had not even started to try to operate according to the big and small Zhou Tian mentioned in the technique.

"Ahem, cough, cough, maybe it's because the spiritual energy here is thin, so it's so difficult to sense it?" Li Qing said tentatively.

"Probably not. I may just not have the spiritual root qualifications, but that's normal. Didn't you say that there is only one person in a million who has spiritual roots." Ning Yuan said indifferently.

"Okay, okay, let's have a drink."

All of a sudden, the two clinked glasses, and the strong aroma of wine filled the room, which was quite intoxicating.

Ning Yuan, who was slightly drunk, cursed and said: "This stupid Taoyuan Restaurant is definitely exaggerating. The age of this winter plum wine is at most ten years, and it is absolutely impossible to be thirty or fifty years old."

Li Qing didn't care at all. Instead, he took advantage of his drunkenness to ask Ning Yuan overtly and covertly about how he used his skills for a week.

Finally, Ning Yuan heard something was wrong. He looked sideways at Li Qing and said, "Brother Li, you haven't fully understood this technique yet, have you?"

"There are only four floors in total, and you haven't even entered the first floor yet?!"

In this regard, Li Qing had no choice but to nod and admit the fact that his understanding was relatively poor.

This actually made Ning Yuan feel a little incredible. He thought to himself that a great martial arts master could have such a poor understanding? !

But then he thought that Li Qing was very talented in forging weapons, and forging magical weapons was nothing more than a piece of cake for him.

Thinking of this, the slight sense of self-confidence that had just arisen was dispelled.

People are indeed different.

"Come, let me teach you how to calm down and let your mind sink into your body."

Ning Yuan immediately used his inner strength to dispel his drunkenness, and instead acted as Li Qing's guide, teaching him how to move the heavens according to the instructions in the technique.

According to what Ning Yuan said, Li Qing recalled the contents recorded in "Tu Yuan Jue" and suddenly understood a lot.

"How is it? Can you sense the aura of heaven and earth?" Ning Yuan blinked and asked curiously.

At this time, Li Qing no longer had the intention to respond to him, because his mind was completely immersed in running "Tu Yuan Jue".

Suddenly, he noticed that there seemed to be traces of magical substances wrapped around his body, surging towards his body's meridians.

This should be the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? !

Li Qing was shocked and happy in his heart, and almost fell out of the state of cultivation, but he quickly calmed down and refined the spiritual energy like the energy of heaven and earth into his meridians, and then gathered it towards his Dantian.

After a long time, after a week, he could clearly feel that there was indeed a little more mana in his Dantian.

Although it is a bit pitiful and can even be ignored, it is indeed obtained through his training in "Tu Yuan Jue"!

He has magic power, he has spiritual roots, and he can practice this immortal cultivation technique!

Thinking of this, Li Qing's breathing became rapid, and he almost couldn't hold back the urge to cry.

Damn, after working hard for a month, I finally got started!

It’s true that the emperor has paid off his hard work!

Li Qing slowly opened his eyes, his expression a little complicated.

Ning looked at the situation and asked tentatively: "How is it? If you sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, can you refine the energy into your body as the technique says?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you can't sense it. You are now a martial arts master. If you don't have the so-called spiritual roots, you don't have them. It's so carefree and comfortable to be a martial arts master in the human world!"

"In the worst case, this immortal cultivation technique will be passed on to future generations. Let's see if the descendants have any."

Before he finished speaking, Ning Yuan noticed something was wrong with Li Qing's expression. He tried to ask again: "You can't practice, can you?"

Li Qing just smiled and said nothing.

"You deserve to die!"

Ning Yuan probably knew what this meant. Ning Yuan was so angry that he was so angry that he kept scolding this thief for being so unfair.

How come someone has such outstanding talent in martial arts and has entered the realm of a grandmaster at such a young age? Moreover, he is so good at blacksmithing that he can forge peerless magic weapons that are difficult for ordinary people to find!

Forget it, this person still has the legendary spiritual root and can cultivate immortality.

Even though Ning Yuan has always been open-minded, he can't stand it anymore.

Compared with others, the gap is really huge!

"Ahem, Brother Ning, thank you very much for your advice today." Li Qing coughed and said.

However, Ning Yuan's face showed a look of despair, and he no longer knew what to say to comfort himself.
