Chapter 240: Solution to the Restriction
A day in the cave means a thousand years in the world.
This sentence is perfect for describing the years of practice. Once you are immersed in retreat and ascetic practice, you will feel that no amount of time is enough.
Li Qing, who was practicing hard in seclusion in the hidden realm, had no relationship between day and night, and the concept of time suddenly became extremely blurred.
Coupled with his long lifespan, time suddenly slowed down in the secret realm.
"I've almost understood the true meaning of this ban now, but it's still a little difficult to break the ban."
Li Qing sighed and looked at the mountain peaks ahead that were still full of restrictions, feeling a sense of despair.
These restrictions were at least placed by monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage. If they were to be unlocked, it would be best if they were already in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
But now Li Qing's cultivation is still at the sixth level of Qi refining, but this sixth level of Qi refining is much more powerful than when he first entered the secret realm.
The first is the richness of his magic power. After practicing in this realm for so long, his own magic power has become much richer.
Coupled with the cultivation of the second level of "Secret Technique of Increasing Yuan", his magic power is now nearly half that of an ordinary sixth-level Qi Refining monk!
Don't underestimate this lead. Often in a battle of spells, it is these extra mana that can determine the outcome.
"Sigh, the bottleneck in the later stage of Qi refining is really not that easy to break through."
"After all, my qualifications are still too low. Even with so many pills, I still can't break through."
Now, like other casual cultivators with poor qualifications, he has hit a bottleneck.
If there is no Spirit Condensing Pill, you can only rely on time to slowly polish it. Over time, you will have a chance to break through this level.
Of course, Li Qing's hard training for these years was certainly not in vain. During this time in the secret realm, he never stopped using the Star Grass. He had already picked all the Star Grass on the outskirts of the forbidden peaks of several medicinal fields.
After eating Star Grass for so many years, the strength of his spiritual consciousness is already extremely good. Even the monks in the late stage of Qi refining cannot catch up with his current spiritual consciousness.
Naturally, the benefits of nourishing his soul are not small. His perception and spiritual sense have become extremely sharp, and he is very full of energy.
If he deliberately uses the power of his spiritual consciousness, his eyes will be dyed with a layer of golden light, which is a manifestation of the power of his spiritual consciousness.
It was precisely thanks to his stronger mental power that he became even more powerful in comprehending the "True Explanation of the Forbidden", and he had completely understood it during this period.
Li Qing stood up, put down the incomplete weapon refining inheritance he was reading, and then walked out of the wooden house.
At the door of the wooden house, a sapling half as tall as a man was standing in front of the door. The aura of the surrounding world became richer because of its presence.
This sapling is the jade locust tree. It is now five years old. It has taken root and sprouted in Tianhefang City for a year and a half, and has grown peacefully in the secret realm for three and a half years.
The jade locust trees now are much more vigorous than before, and their vitality is quite strong.
There are many delicate leaf buds condensed on the branches, which look full of vitality and full of the tension of life.
In the past few years, Li Qing's favorite thing was to water this tree. Watching the small tree he planted slowly grow and grow day by day, he felt more accomplished than anything else.
"Grow up quickly. In the future, I may be able to cultivate the secret body refining technique with the help of your branches. Then I will leave you in the secret realm to grow naturally."
Li Qing smiled and touched the jade locust sapling with his hand, like an old farmer looking forward to the ripening of grain.
After seeing the saplings, Li Qing continued to walk, measuring the secret land with his feet.
He walked around the forbidden mountain peaks, stopping and observing for a long time each time.
During this period, he used the power of his spiritual consciousness to carefully observe these restrictions, trying to find some loopholes, hoping to use the loopholes to break through the restrictions.
Unfortunately, the result was the same as before. These restrictions were perfect and left him no opportunity to take advantage of. The result was the same as in the past.
Li Qing continued to walk, and finally stopped in front of the main peak. He looked up at the Taoist temples on the peak, and his eyes were once again filled with a golden halo.
After a long time, Li Qing, who had his hands behind his back, frowned and said: "Although the restriction on the main peak is the most dangerous, in fact, if you want to break it, you may have to start from this peak."
Dangerous, that means the ban is more complicated.
The restrictions on the main peak include spiritual beams for attack and spiritual attacks. The combination of the two will make it difficult for even ordinary monks in the foundation-building stage to break through.
But it is precisely because it is complex enough that the restrictions here are relatively not so perfect.
"If we blast a gap in the boulder on the right side of the mountain, we can use it to invade in inch by inch, and continue to trigger the restriction over time. In this way, the power of the restriction can be consumed to the minimum."
After saying that, Li Qing closed his eyes and began to rehearse the process of breaking the restriction in his mind with his own consciousness.
His spiritual consciousness was very powerful, and he could easily imprint the main peak and the complex restrictions on it in his mind.
He rehearsed again and again, and finally successfully completed a rehearsal in his mind to conquer the main peak.
After a long time, Li Qing opened his eyes again, and the faint golden halo slowly disappeared.
"I need cannon fodder to explore the path. As long as there are enough cannon fodder, it can even destroy the power of these restrictions."
In the world of cultivating immortals, the best cannon fodder are other low-level monks.
Every time a hidden secret realm appears, those high-level monks will use some low-level monks as cannon fodder to explore the way, killing the forbidden power and exploring safe paths for them.
But Li Qing himself is a low-level monk!
Thinking of this, Li Qing smiled bitterly.
"Should I find a puppet master to buy some puppets?" Li Qing stroked his chin with his hand, thinking about the feasibility.
In the end, he rejected the idea.
Now that there is a war outside, it is not easy to find a puppet master who is willing to cooperate with him.
Li Qing closed his eyes again, thinking about whether there was any other alternative.
Soon, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
"Yes, if you want cannon fodder, there are plenty of them in the Extreme Night World."
"Use those strange beasts to dissipate the power of the ban. Anyway, those strange beasts are not afraid of death, so it is just right."
As soon as this thought came out, Li Qing's eyes lit up, and his thoughts suddenly became clear.
The problem that had troubled him for so long was finally solved.
Looking at the main peak so close, Li Qing couldn't help but slowly raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a happy smile.
"Finally we can try to break the restriction!"
The only problem next is how to make the alien beasts obey the impact restriction, but this is not a difficult problem for Yu Ruyi, who has the ability to hide her own aura.
The alien beasts in the polar night world all have a common characteristic, which is the desire for blood. If they absorb too much of the secret power of the Red Moon, they will have a strong desire for blood.
In addition, Li Qing felt that the few red crystals with unknown uses in his hand might also be a good bait.
"The plan to capture strange beasts was originally canceled due to the chaos in the world of immortality. Unexpectedly, it could be restarted today due to the restrictions on the mountain."
"The world is so fickle that plans can never keep up with changes."
Li Qing has always been a resolute person, and as soon as an idea comes up, he is ready to implement the plan.
In this way, he led Fantong from the hidden realm to the polar night world, preparing to use the water-wrapped snare to start capturing the crazy beasts in the polar night world.
In a world where darkness and coldness coexist, one person and one tiger shuttle back and forth. Every time they encounter a low-level alien beast, they will capture it and put it into the beast control bag.
Li Qing is very careful in choosing his prey, and only catches strange beasts whose strength is equivalent to the early stage of the first order.
After all, when these strange beasts enter a world with spiritual energy, they will undergo changes and their strength will at least improve by one level.
If he captures an alien beast that is too powerful, once it absorbs the spiritual energy and causes changes, he will be the cannon fodder.
Finally, with the unremitting efforts of Li Qing and Fan Tong, a total of seven alien beast cannon fodder equivalent to the early stage of the first order were captured.
After that, they also encountered an extremely powerful beast that could definitely compete with the monks in the foundation-building stage. It was a second-level beast, and its strength was quite terrifying.
Facing such a strange beast master, Li Qing didn't even dare to look at it for a second time, and ran away frantically for his life with his food bucket, almost becoming the opponent's blood food.
Fortunately, with the help of Yu Ruyi and the Breath Condensation Talisman, one man and one tiger were able to escape the pursuit of this extremely ferocious beast master.
In a corner of the mushroom forest, Li Qing leaned against the rice bucket and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"It's really dangerous. The changes in the polar night world are greater than I imagined. Now there are definitely many extremely dangerous beasts born."
Li Qing said with lingering fear, a look of shock on his face.
"Ouch."
Fantong roared in agreement, not daring to make too much noise for fear of being discovered. At this moment, its huge tiger body was curled up together.
Seeing this scene, Li Qing scratched the rice bucket's head with his hand to calm it down.
It was indeed too dangerous just now. The second-level alien beast master was as crazy as it was hungry for blood.
After a long time, the movement in the mushroom forest finally calmed down, and the second-level alien beast quickly moved away with an unwilling roar.
"Let's go, it's time to go back. These strange beasts should be enough for now."
After saying that, Li Qing grabbed the back of Fan Tong's neck with his hand, and then took him back to the secret realm.
After briefly recovering his condition, Li Qing began to arrange intensively under the Taoist temple on the main peak.
There are naturally a lot of things to pay attention to in order for the alien beast to attack the restriction instead of attacking him.
In this regard, Li Qing already had a simple plan in mind.
The first is to hide one's own aura so that alien beasts cannot detect themselves.
The second is the bait. The best thing to use as bait is blood, and the second is the red crystal grain that contains the secret power of the red moon.
These two things are extremely attractive to exotic beasts.
At that time, Li Qing plans to put his blood and red crystal grains together, and then transport them through the magic weapon to the boulder restriction that needs to be destroyed.
After that, all he had to do was release the alien beast and let it begin to transform. While the transformation was taking place, Li Qing hid himself, so that the alien beast could only perceive the blood and red crystals on the mountain peak.
In this way, Li Qing can harvest a strange beast that fully automatically destroys restrictions.
