Chapter 220: One Year of Hard Training

Swish!

The last wisp of spiritual wood essence from the branch of the Jade Sophora tree placed in front of Li Qing floated into his body like green smoke.

In an instant, the entire branch was completely weathered as if it had experienced thousands of years.

Without wasting a single bit of spiritual wood vitality, all the spiritual wood essence contained in this branch of the Jade Sophora tree was absorbed by Li Qing all at once.

Boom! Boom!

The strong and powerful heartbeat sounded in the quiet cave, as if someone was beating a drum, which was very exaggerated.

No one could imagine that this vibration was just Li Qing's heartbeat!

The first level of "Bao Mu Lian Shen Jue" was completely cultivated!

Li Qing opened his eyes, and a hint of blue flashed from his pupils.

At this moment, he no longer suppressed his own blood and qi, but completely released it.

Boom!

The strong blood and qi surged out of Li Qing's body, like a surging river and sea, so vigorous that it was unbelievable.

"Huh!"

Li Qing let out a long breath, spread his hands, looked at his arms, and felt his pulse.

"Not bad! I should be able to fight with the cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining just by relying on my physical strength."

After cultivating the first level of "Bao Mu Refining Body Art", his physical body became stronger again. He was originally a martial arts master, and now he can definitely compete with the cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining just by relying on his physical body.

At this moment, he only felt that he seemed to have endless power, and felt that he could carry a mountain on his back.

Crack!

Li Qing exerted force with his two fingers, and even did not use his own energy. With the strength of his physical body, he crushed a piece of hard rock into powder.

"Yes, this is only the first level. If I can cultivate the second and third levels, how strong will my physical body be?"

After the words fell, Li Qing himself didn't dare to think about it. If that was the case, could he fight against the cultivators in the foundation-building stage with just his physical body?

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Li Qing suppressed it.

Don't be too ambitious!

"I heard that when you reach the foundation-building stage, the mana in the Dantian Qi Sea will liquefy, and both the quality and quantity will far exceed that of the cultivators in the Qi Refining stage."

"If you really fight with a cultivator in the foundation-building stage, as long as the opponent is not a fool and chooses to fight with vast mana instead of close combat, the chance of winning is still too small."

Li Qing muttered to himself, and put away his slightly arrogant mood. He was still in awe of the cultivators in the foundation-building stage.

Walking out of the cave, looking at the beautiful scenery of the mountains outside, Li Qing stretched lazily.

The strength of his physical body improved again. At this moment, his mental state was quite good, with full blood and spirit.

This time, the practice lasted for ten days, but he was not in a hurry to come out of retreat, and soon returned to his cave.

Continue to refine Qi, and your own cultivation is the foundation of everything!

Li Qing sat back in his original place, and then took out a Guangling Pill and swallowed it without thinking.

He practiced the "Fire Source Gong" and quickly refined the medicinal power contained in the Guangling Pill.

This retreat will last at least a year. He made full preparations for it and bought some pills in the market.

He did not plan to continue to participate in the next secret trade fair, and was ready to improve his cultivation wholeheartedly.

Before his strength improved greatly, he had to turn a deaf ear to the outside world and practice hard!

In this way, a year passed quickly, like fine sand on the fingertips. The tighter you hold it, the faster it will flow away.

At this time, the world of immortal cultivation was definitely not calm, and even waves were rising again.

Li Qing, who was in seclusion in the cave, finally opened his eyes slowly.

"Huh!"

He let out a long breath, and his messy hair and beard made him look like a wild man.

But he didn't care about his appearance at all, and his eyes showed a touch of joy.

"Finally broke through"

That's right, after spending a year and consuming a lot of elixirs, he finally became a cultivator of the sixth level of Qi Refining in this cave with extremely abundant spiritual energy!

The whole process didn't feel too real. In Li Qing's perception, this breakthrough that came naturally was rather plain and simple, as if he had naturally advanced to this realm.

Speaking of which, this was the first time that Li Qing had truly practiced in seclusion. In the past, whether in the mountains or at the Liu family, his practice was intermittent and was disturbed by various things.

"No wonder some people always say that there is no time in cultivation. It is really hard to feel the passage of time during the whole process!"

Li Qing was filled with emotion. If he could not clearly see that his life span had been reduced by one year, he would even feel that at most a few months had passed.

Walking out of the cave again, a sense of being in another world came over him.

He then took out the Dragon Dagger, tidied up his messy beard and hair, and then cleaned himself with the Water Purification Technique.

In a moment, the whole person became refreshed again, getting rid of the image of a wild man.

"Hiss, I have to help fellow Daoist Jiuxiao repair the spirit boat as soon as possible!"

Li Qing suddenly remembered this, and then rushed into the cave without looking back.

In order to save time, he directly chose to travel to the Polar Night World to start repairing this spirit boat.

The Polar Night World, a secret place.

Li Qing took out the ice-blue spiritual boat that Jiuxiao had given him, and then carefully examined it.

"The damage to the boat itself is very light, mainly on the spiritual patterns. This guy has encountered a ruthless person, who actually polluted part of the spiritual patterns with blood."

As he spoke, Li Qing put his hand on the spiritual boat and measured it carefully.

At this moment, he seemed to have turned into a professional doctor, and he accurately diagnosed the problem of the damaged spiritual boat.

"Although I have learned some speed and light spiritual patterns, it is definitely not that simple to repair the spiritual boat."

Li Qing frowned, and then stretched out his fingers and poked the damaged spiritual patterns.

A trace of spiritual power was quickly transferred to the spiritual boat, running along the spiritual pattern veins engraved on the boat body. When the spiritual power flowed to the damaged spiritual pattern part, it would dissipate.

With this, Li Qing accurately judged what role these broken spiritual patterns played.

"This part is the spiritual pattern that transmits spiritual power. You can consider replacing it with some spiritual patterns with similar functions that I have learned."

"Well, I have mastered this part of the light spiritual pattern and can easily repair it."

"It's just that some of these damaged places are beyond my ability."

The entire ice-blue spiritual boat was explored by him at this moment, without missing any part.

There are several places, as he said, that touched his knowledge blind spot.

He didn't even know what the damaged spiritual patterns were.

This made him frown.

Li Qing fell into deep thought. He was thinking hard about the specific functions of those spiritual patterns.

He let go of his thoughts and built a specific appearance of the entire spiritual boat in his mind.

"If I were to refine the spiritual boat, what functions should it have?!"

This is a spiritual boat with the quality equivalent to a top-grade magic weapon. Naturally, its functions and effects will be more complicated.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the speed. If the speed is slow, everything is empty talk!

The most basic speed-type spiritual pattern, this spiritual boat is very complete, which is also the core part of the spiritual boat.

The second is the defensive ability!

"The spiritual patterns composed of wood and earth attributes just now should be defensive in nature, and it is not a problem to repair them."

Is it necessary for attack? !

Li Qing thought carefully. He felt that such a powerful spiritual boat must have the ability to attack and fight. After all, it is a top-grade magic weapon!

Thinking of this, Li Qing's eyes glowed, and then his eyes stared at a broken spiritual pattern, which was a place near the edge of the spiritual boat.

"It turned out to be an ice-attribute attack-type spiritual pattern. It should be correct. It happened that this was made of snow silver iron and some kind of ice-cold spiritual materials."

After confirming this fact, the bitterness on Li Qing's face did not subside too much, and his brows were still tightly locked.

The refining inheritance he obtained did not include these spiritual patterns of different attributes. Basically, they were all basic spiritual patterns of the five elements.

So even if he knew what type of spirit pattern was missing, he couldn't repair it.

At this moment, he finally understood why people always said that a powerful weapon refiner must not only have superb weapon refining skills, but also be knowledgeable enough.

The number of spirit patterns mastered directly determines the upper limit of a weapon refiner!

"Alas, the art of refining is really profound!"

Li Qing smiled bitterly, thinking that this craft not only requires fantastic ideas, but also requires sufficient knowledge and extensive experience!

However, he was not discouraged, but seriously thought about whether other spirit patterns could be used as a substitute.

"Ice-attributed attack spirit pattern. After all, the main function of this spirit boat is to travel. I don't believe that the weapon refiner who refined it will put much effort into the means of attack."

"Maybe."

Before the voice fell, Li Qing's eyes flashed, and he thought of a pretty good alternative.
