Chapter 209 Exploration
This Red Moon Secret Power is really weird. It can turn people into such monsters, which is chilling.
On the beam, Li Qing could clearly sense that the two people below were not immortal cultivators before. They should have turned from mortals to cultivate the Red Moon Secret Power to become like this!
Li Qing watched for a long time. After the out-of-control monster absorbed a large bowl of blood, its body finally stabilized and got rid of the crazy state.
After watching the whole process, Li Qing left quietly. His movements were light and he walked like a feather without making any noise.
After leaving the side hall, Li Qing continued to explore in Tianliang Temple.
"At present, these demonized people have not caused much harm. There is no need to kill demons and eliminate monsters."
Li Qing thought as he explored.
In order to cultivate the Red Moon Secret Power, these people cannot do without blood, and the people in the city also need them to help protect the fetus so that the offspring will have a normal body.
Although he has moral principles in mind, he is not a foolish and kind person.
If he kills all the demons just because they suck human blood and have strange and weird bodies, it would be too arrogant and unreasonable.
After all, without this group of Red Moon monks, who will help the people in the city to ensure the normal birth of babies in the future?
Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but look up at the blood moon in the endless night sky again. It was still hanging in the sky forever, weird and dangerous.
In fact, the root of everything is this blood moon.
"It's just that practicing the secret power of the red moon can make people immortal. This is a great temptation. Over time, more and more people will practice it."
Once this happens, the consequences are foreseeable.
At that time, there will be more moon cultivators who need blood, and there will be some crazy people who treat mortals like pigs and sheep.
Moreover, Li Qing had just seen the crazy Yue Xiu who had gone out of control. If blood was not delivered in time, he would probably completely lose his mind and turn into a madman.
"It will be even more difficult to survive in the polar night world in the future."
Li Qing sighed lightly and temporarily suppressed all these in his heart.
In front of him, a building similar to a study appeared in front of him.
Seeing this scene, Li Qing's mind moved and he moved closer to it.
After staying in front of the door for a while, he made sure that there was no one inside, and Li Qing pushed the door open and entered.
There were indeed things like wooden slips on it, which seemed to be some things that the disciples of Tianliang Temple practiced on a daily basis.
Curious, Li Qing picked up the wooden slips on it and spread them out to read.
"As expected, it is indeed some methods to absorb the secret power of the red moon."
He browsed it roughly, not very interested in it, but just watching these things with an understanding mentality.
There were some contents recorded on it, which made Li Qing feel a little cold.
Practicing the secret power of the red moon has now spawned several methods of longevity.
Two of the most popular ones are like the two disciples just now, directly using the body to absorb the secret power in exchange for strength, which will cause the body to mutate.
The other method is even more uncomfortable, which is to capture some mutated beasts, implant some of the beasts' limbs into your body, and then use the beasts as a carrier to absorb the secret power.
The latter's combat power is more powerful, but it is also easier to lose your mind.
It is also recorded that many kinds of beasts have been born in the polar night world, and the speed of mutation is very fast. Bathed in the blood moon, almost every once in a while, there will be strange beasts that have never been seen.
These beasts have one thing in common, that is, they are powerful in combat and their bodies are extremely strange and evil.
"After abandoning the immortal way, this world has become more and more crazy, and there are too many things that are difficult to understand."
After reading these wooden slips, Li Qing felt that he was somewhat out of tune with this weird world.
Out of his desire for immortality, he guessed that most of the immortal cultivators who were still alive could not avoid the temptation of cultivating the secret power of the red moon.
He closed the last scroll and put it back in place.
Li Qing was not too disappointed that he did not find any secret book related to immortal cultivation. Now these things are probably pressed at the bottom of the box. How could they be brought to Juyan City?
"It seems that to obtain the inheritance of these immortal secrets, we have to go to Tianliang Mountain, a place that used to be a sect of immortal cultivation."
Now he is more like a scavenger, looking for some old inheritances abandoned by others in a world full of weirdness.
"This matter cannot be rushed. Now these ordinary disciples are so evil and terrifying, so the master of Tianliang Temple is probably not simple."
"At least you can go to explore when you get the late stage of Qi Refining or even the foundation building stage."
"Now I am not so eager for those secret books. The things on hand are enough for me for the time being."
Finally, Li Qing left Tianliang Temple silently.
He found Miao Jiu, asked for a map of the Black Wind Region, and then made plans to leave.
Before leaving, he personally forged three extremely sharp and peerless magic weapons with ordinary iron.
Of course, he did not temper the spirits of these three magic weapons or engrave spiritual patterns on them. They were just the prototypes of ordinary magic weapons, because even if they were refined into complete magic weapons, they could not be used without cultivation.
Finally, before leaving, Li Qing gave three magic weapons to Zhao Kou who was in seclusion, Miao Jiu's legitimate son Miao Xi, and the last one to the Qing Gang as a reward for helping him raise these spiritual materials.
Li Qing thought about it, and finally took out part of his martial arts inheritance of "Wuji Gong" and gave it to them.
In this weird world, for mortals who cannot practice, practicing martial arts may be the only way to protect themselves.
He wanted to see how ordinary martial arts would bloom here in the future.
Especially after some babies who were born without fetal protection, they would undergo abnormal changes under the influence of the red moon. Some people are born with infinite strength and are suitable for martial arts.
For example, Miao Xi, who was seen before, was born when Yue Xiu's fetal protection method was not mature enough, and he failed to completely absorb the secret power of the red moon.
Although Miao Xi now looks like a normal person, his arms are abnormally strong, and there are two meat bags on his head, and his strength is very exaggerated.
"Just treat it as a casual move. Whether it is useful or not doesn't matter much. Anyway, my biggest reliance is still my current immortal cultivation."
In the end, Li Qing left Giant Rock City silently without notifying anyone in advance, just like when he came.
After leaving Giant Rock City, Li Qing finally began to truly explore this world.
He measured the land with his body, took the map, and began to personally go to some rarely visited areas to experience the differences of the polar night world.
South of Giant Rock City, there is a lush mushroom forest. In the Sunshine Era, this place used to be a lush and vast forest, but now there is no sunlight and spiritual energy, the trees are completely dead, and replaced by these exotic mushrooms.
Some mushrooms are very tall, and they have been affected by the red moon for many years, and they are even far taller than some of the towering trees that Li Qing has seen.
But he didn't dare to eat a single mushroom, for fear that he would have to lie down directly after eating the red umbrellas and white stems.
Li Qing stood on the top of a huge mushroom tree, looking far into the distance at the scene below.
He only heard a harsh and unpleasant roar coming from the mushroom forest in front of him, which was completely unlike any beast he knew.
The breath was not weak, and it was vaguely comparable to the level of a first-level monster.
"Roar~"
Li Qing shook his feet, stepped on the huge mushroom tree, and then shook off a piece of spores, which floated up like a dandelion.
He jumped out quickly, landed on one mushroom tree after another, and then jumped up again with the force, very agile.
Soon, the roaring beast showed its figure.
It turned out to be a snake-like beast covered with pus and still oozing an inexplicable liquid. Yes, it can only be said to be a snake-like beast, and it can never be called a snake!
Because it has no scales, every abscess is still flowing out of pus, which is very disgusting. In addition, it has three heads, but they are not normal snake heads, some of them look like rotten eel heads.
The snake beast soon discovered Li Qing's existence. It sensed the rich blood in Li Qing's body and seemed to have a desire to eat.
However, Li Qing did not want to fight with this disgusting alien species. He was afraid that a little pus would cause his body to rot.
Immediately, Li Qing jumped away from here.
However, the snake beast chased after it and directly crushed the mushroom forest under its body.
Seeing this, Li Qing finally couldn't help but take action.
But he didn't fight with his body, but waved his hand continuously, and a series of hot fireballs shot out rapidly.
Boom!
He was very skilled in controlling the fireball technique, and several fireballs hit the body of the snake beast accurately.
In an instant, a sound of evaporation like a branding iron entering water resounded.
Swish~
A large amount of smoke rose wildly from the snake beast, and it immediately curled up in pain, as disgusting as a rotten leech tied in a knot.
"It seems that it is still afraid of magic!"
The next moment, Li Qing made a seal with one hand and cast another basic five-element spell.
"Wood Thorn Spell!"
Swish!
As the spiritual power surged, several wooden thorns protruded from the ground and suddenly stabbed at the snake beast.
To Li Qing's surprise, although several sharp wooden thorns pierced into its body, it did not seem to cause much damage.
"Does it mean that only the most rigid and yang power can cause damage to this beast?"
Li Qing took out a talisman covered with red runes. This was a low-grade fire rain talisman with considerable power.
Immediately, he activated the talisman in his hand and blasted it towards the snake beast.
However, the result was beyond his expectation. The Fire Rain Talisman only condensed a few small fireballs, and did not produce the so-called fire rain.
Soon, Li Qing twitched the corner of his mouth, and then realized that he was stupid.
"Yes, the power of the talisman comes from the runes engraved on the talisman paper to stimulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. There is no spiritual energy here, so the talisman is naturally useless."
Thinking of this, Li Qing took out a low-quality magic weapon he had refined before - the Flame Spear!
He injected spiritual power, and then suddenly swung the spear engraved with fire attribute spiritual patterns.
Boom!
The fire attribute spiritual pattern lit up first, and then a huge wave of flames surged out, directly covering the snake-like beast curled up in a ball.
