Chapter 168 Water Condensation Sand

On the last day of the trade fair, Li Qing began to wander aimlessly.

On the third day, the flow of people at the trade fair was already a little sparse, and there were fewer stalls.

Li Qing wandered around, wondering if he could get lucky and come across a stall selling magic elixirs for the advanced Qi refining period.

Unfortunately, this idea was doomed to fail.

Generally, this type of elixir would have been snapped up as early as the first and second days, so how could it be left for sale on the third day!

After wandering around for a long time, just when Li Qing gave up and was about to go home, suddenly a stall with a pile of strange sand and stone caught his attention.

"What is this?" Li Qing's heart moved slightly, and he asked curiously.

The stall owner said boredly: "Water condensation sand, a spiritual material for refining tools, do you want to buy some back?"

Hearing this, Li Qing nodded secretly, and the name of a medium-grade magic tool quickly emerged in his mind - Water Wrap Net!

This is a refining diagram attached to the refining inheritance he got. One of the materials that must be used to refine this magic weapon is water condensation sand!

"How much is this water condensation sand?" Li Qing asked.

Seeing that Li Qing really asked the price, the stall owner who sells spiritual materials suddenly became excited.

"Oh, this water condensation sand was dug from the side of a dried-up spiritual spring. Don't look at it as ordinary, but it is a material that must be used in refining."

For this exaggerated rhetoric, Li Qing automatically filtered it out in his ears. This person just wanted to raise the price.

"How about it, I charge you thirty spiritual stones for one catty of water condensation sand, which is definitely a very fair price!"

Hearing this price, Li Qing's mouth twitched slightly, and he almost turned around and left.

Do you really think he is a sucker? Thirty spiritual stones per catty, and it takes about three catties of water condensation sand to refine a water-wrapped net.

Adding several other materials, that is to say, the cost price of refining a water-wrapped net is more than two hundred spiritual stones!

You have to know that a medium-grade magic weapon on the market can only be sold for about 500 spirit stones at best. In addition, if the refining fails and the spirit materials are lost, it will be a huge loss!

Li Qing rolled his eyes and said, "Ten spirit stones per catty, your thing is left here and no one buys it, but you are asking such a high price."

"Hehe, sir, you are joking. Where can I buy spirit materials for refining at ten spirit stones per catty? I am afraid there is no such place in the world."

Just like that, the two began a tense tug of war.

Li Qing bit the bottom line of fifteen spirit stones and was unwilling to spend one more spirit stone no matter what.

The other party refused to give in. He would not sell it if it was less than twenty spirit stones.

Finally, the two of them talked until they were dry and finally set the price at seventeen spirit stones per catty.

The six catties of condensed water sand on the stall were bought by Li Qing at the price of one hundred and two spirit stones.

Holding the spirit stone, Li Qing did not stay any longer. He immediately changed several directions. After making sure that no one noticed him, he returned to his yard.

Just as he came back, a piece of news suddenly came from the Bingzi area.

Of the other two cultivators who bought the Ningling Pill, only one successfully broke through to the late stage of Qi Refining, while the other one failed unfortunately.

"Hiss! One failed!"

"This is really... Doesn't that mean I have to pay back two hundred spirit stones to the Liu family?"

"Well, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

"Three hundred spirit stones just went down the drain. It's such a pity."

"Fortunately it wasn't me, otherwise I would be heartbroken. How long would it take to save up three hundred spirit stones!"

"."

Li Qing listened to the discussions, but he did not feel much gloating. Instead, he was a little worried about Old Man Zhou.

"If there were only two people, how would we deal with the Eagle Bandits?"

Originally, in Old Man Zhou's plan, if all three of them succeeded in breaking through, then the chances of winning were still quite high.

But if one of them fails, I'm afraid the chance of winning will become very low all of a sudden.

Li Qing couldn't do anything about this. He was just a cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining, and could only silently bless Old Zhou.

"Alas, I hope the Liu family will help. After all, it's about the sect mission of the eldest lady in their family. I guess they don't want this mission to fail."

Li Qing sighed, and then silently cooked a pot of spiritual rice for himself.

Now that things have come to this, let's eat first.

Tasting the crystal clear, sweet and delicious spiritual rice, Li Qing's appetite increased greatly, and he ate a small pot of spiritual rice in a few seconds.

After feeding the rice bucket with animal feeding pills, Li Qing sat cross-legged and meditated to practice.

The trade fair ended, and the days slowly returned to peace, but this was for other casual cultivators.

Old Zhou, who successfully broke through to the late stage of Qi Refining, couldn't help but curse a few words in the yard after knowing that one of the three people failed to break through.

The joy of becoming a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator was gone, and he felt a great pressure in his heart.

That was the notorious Flying Eagle Thief. If he and another casual cultivator with mediocre combat power were to deal with him, there was a high possibility that they would die.

Old Zhou, who didn't want to give up for nothing, finally couldn't help it. He pulled another casual cultivator who had successfully broken through and proposed conditions to the Liu family, hoping that they would send another late-stage Qi Refining cultivator to support them.

This time, it was rare for the Liu family to act like a human being. After all, it was related to the fact that their eldest daughter had entered the foundation-building period. It was indeed something that could not be careless!

As a result, the Liu family sent a late-stage Qi Refining monk named Liu Cong to follow them to defeat the Flying Eagle Bandits.

The task deadline is within half a year. If the task is not completed within half a year, for the sake of order and tranquility in the city, Tianhe Sect will send out elders in the foundation building period to take action.

And once it is judged to be a failure, the impact on Liu Hanyue will not be small, and it is likely to delay her entry into the foundation building period.

Even though the disciples of the Tianhe Sect may seem superior outside, the competition within the sect is still very high.

Even though Liu Hanyue has his back to the Liu family, for those disciples who can enter the Tianhe Sect, this little help is nothing. Some of them are even inextricably related to the ancestors of the Pill Formation in the sect.

All in all, Old Man Zhou finally embarked on the road to defeat the Flying Eagle Bandits.

As time goes by, this matter will eventually be gradually forgotten by casual cultivators, and only a few people will continue to pay attention.

After his life became peaceful, Li Qing silently prayed to Old Man Zhou, and then immersed himself in the peaceful cultivation years.

More than ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was soon time for the Liujialing miners to go to the mines.

The news that Old Man Zhou and his party went to Tianhe Zongfang City to crusade against the Flying Eagle Bandits has not yet come back, but Li Qing has already encountered a small bottleneck in the early stage of Qi refining.

"Logically speaking, from the early stage of Qi refining to the middle stage of Qi refining, you can just rely on time to grind through it, but the speed is surprisingly slow."

Li Qing shook his head, stopped practicing, and began to plan his future.

"I will go to the mine tomorrow. With the experience of handing in 70 spiritual stones before, I should not be assigned to the poor mining area again. From now on, my monthly mining income will increase a lot."

"The most important thing right now is to break through to the middle stage of Qi refining. Only when you reach this level can you have the strength to protect yourself."

"Then comes the weapon refining technique. We have to find time to refine the Wushuang Hammer into a magical weapon. As for the Wandering Dragon Dagger, it is a prototype of a middle-grade magical weapon. We don't have the ability to refine it yet."

Li Qing pondered for a while, and finally took out a token made of white jade.

This is suspected to be the Immortal Ascension Order of Lingyun Sect, which has always been on Li Qing's mind. Based on his qualifications, this is probably the only way to join the Immortal Sect.

As long as you rely on an Immortal Ascension Order, you can directly enter the sect regardless of your cultivation level and age, and you can also get a Foundation Building Pill!

For any casual cultivator, the temptation of a foundation-building pill is definitely very strong!

"It seems that we have to go south anyway. Even if the hope is slim, we still have to verify whether this token is the Ascension Order!"

Li Qing's eyes narrowed slightly and he took back the white jade token again.

"However, the journey to Mu Country is far away. I'm afraid that at worst, you will have to be at the middle stage of Qi Refining to be able to barely protect yourself. We won't be able to go there in a short time."

"Before that, I have to improve my strength as much as possible."

"In addition, in addition to cultivating magic power, I can try to take the path of physical cultivation, so that my master-level physique is not wasted."

All of a sudden, Li Qing clearly planned his future path.

The short-term goal is: accumulate spiritual stones! Improve your weapon refining skills!

The mid-term goal is: to break through to the middle stage of Qi refining! Find time to go to Tianhe Sect’s Immortal Cultivator’s Market!

The goal in the later stage is: to increase the means of self-protection as much as possible, whether it is talismans, magic weapons or one's own strength, all must be taken into consideration!

Finally, he went south to the Kingdom of Mu to find the location of Lingyun Sect and determine whether the token in his hand was the Immortal Ascension Order.

After finding his goal, Li Qing once again immersed himself in the few training time, trying his best to polish the bottlenecks that trapped him.

Time flies by, and the day for Li Qing to go to the mines for the seventh time has finally arrived!
