Chapter 250 Red Crystal

In the cave, Taoist Qingyang looked at the repaired bronze tripod with a look of satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad. I think Fellow Taoist Erniu's weapon refining level can be called a master of martial arts."

Faced with the praise from Taoist Qingyang, Li Qingke didn't feel arrogant at all. He knew that he still had a long way to go.

"Senior, that's ridiculous. The damage to this cauldron is not high. I think any weapon refiner can repair it." Li Qing said, cupping his fists.

"Hahaha, fellow Daoist Erniu, please don't be humble. Among the four immortal cultivation techniques of alchemy, formation, and talismans, weapon refining requires a lot of talent. Among casual cultivators, weapon refining masters are the rarest."

This is the truth. At least Li Qing has not seen any other casual cultivator weapon refiners so far.

I have met a few alchemists and talisman masters, but weapon refining requires not only talent, but also a lot of resources.

Although it is also a test of talent for a formation mage, many of the materials used to set up the formation can be reused. Even if the formation fails, the spiritual materials will not be damaged.

"I'm just lucky." Li Qing scratched his head honestly.

"Fellow Taoist Erniu, I already understand your purpose of coming here. Is it for the Foundation Establishment Pill?" Taoist Qingyang said with a chuckle.

Seeing that the other party pointed out his purpose of coming, Li Qing was quite happy. He nodded and said: "That's right, Senior Qingyang, the reason why I came here is indeed to build the foundation."

"Although I have only entered the late stage of Qi Refining not long ago, I still have a heart for the Tao. I hope my seniors will not laugh at me for being too ambitious."

Li Qing spoke sincerely and in a firm tone, making no secret of his desire to pursue the great road.

"There's nothing funny about this. We've already entered the path of immortality, and who's not fighting for it?"

"Old Taoist, my qualifications are no better than yours. I had a narrow escape just for a Foundation Establishment Pill."

There was a look of nostalgia in Taoist Qingyang's eyes. He also had the qualifications of the Four Spiritual Roots. Those who could successfully build a foundation with such mixed spiritual roots were very few in the world of immortality.

It would be no exaggeration to say that his foundation-building process was a narrow escape from death.

"Senior is really a role model for our casual cultivators!" Even if you try to flatter the other person, no matter what, it is always right to brag about the other person first.

Taoist Qingyang asked with a smile: "Hahaha, I'm going too far. How are you doing with the elixir for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

In the world of immortal cultivation, the recipe for the Foundation Building Pill is not a secret, and many alchemists have it.

Even many casual cultivators know that refining the Foundation Establishment Pill requires more than half of the auxiliary ingredients.

It is never the recipe or the alchemist that limits the number of foundation-building pills, but the main medicine!

Whether it is the Fusion Fruit or the crystal core of a second-level monster, it is extremely difficult to find in the outside world.

Only in some extremely dangerous Jedi or secret realms may you have a chance to obtain it.

"There are only some auxiliary medicines, including Xuanbingye, star anise, and magic heart fruit."

Li Qing truthfully reported the types of elixirs he owned and did not hide anything.

Although these materials are relatively precious, they are definitely not as difficult to find as the main medicine. It is not surprising that Li Qing can collect them.

"That's right. My friend can collect so many elixirs on his own, which is already beyond the vast majority of casual cultivators!"

"Those missing auxiliary medicines are not difficult to find. You can find them with a little effort."

After hearing what Taoist Qingyang said, Li Qing murmured slightly in his heart, all thanks to the gift from Taoist Gu Ming.

Of course, Li Qing would never tell the other party about this. After all, killing people and seizing treasures was ultimately disgraceful, even if he was trying to save Ye Feng.

Moreover, Gu Ming was also one of the members of the secret trade fair held by Taoist Qingyang, whose Taoist name was Mingguang.

Fortunately, Tianhefang City was later conquered by the Shangqing Sect, and the Secret Trade Fair was disbanded. Many members lost contact or died in the war.

Presumably no one would pay attention to the life and death of a casual cultivator like Gu Ming.

"Little friend Erniu, do you have control over the most important ingredient in refining the Foundation Building Pill, the Yuan Yuan Fruit or the second-level demon core?"

Facing Taoist Qingyang's words, Li Qing could only shake his head with a wry smile and said: "Senior, you overestimate me. I am just a casual cultivator. For such precious things, let alone mastering them, I can't even grasp them." I haven’t seen it a few times.”

Taoist Qingyang nodded in understanding and said, "So what are your plans?"

Li Qing said quickly: "So I plan to entrust seniors. If someone comes to you to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, I will take out all the auxiliary medicines and combine it with them. In addition, I will also compensate them with some spiritual stones or magic weapons." wait!"

Combining the foundation-building pill is absolutely rare in the world of immortality, so Taoist Qingyang will naturally be familiar with it.

"Well, it's okay to keep an eye on it for you, but I have to tell you in advance that not many people have come to me to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill over the years. Even if there are one or two, they all have some background. Monks are rarely willing to refine a foundation-building pill with others."

"So you may have to wait a long time for this, and you may not even be able to wait for one for more than ten years."

Li Qing was indeed mentally prepared for this. He said calmly: "I understand this matter. I will also find a way to collect the main medicine myself in the future, and I will have to worry about it in the future!"

"It's not a big deal, it's just a little effort." Taoist Qingyang shook his head. .

In this way, Li Qing left Taoist Qingyang's cave.

At this point, a way to obtain the foundation-building pill can be said to have been opened.

It was late at night, and Li Qing returned to the courtyard, and his heart had calmed down.

"Next, I should pay attention to the news of the main medicine of the foundation-building pill, but now is a time of chaos, it is not good to run around."

Li Qing looked at Qinghua Pond under the moonlight and couldn't help but sighed. Although the night view was beautiful, his thoughts were all on the foundation-building matter.

"Forget it, I will practice in seclusion here for a year. It won't be too late to collect it after the war between the two sects is over."

As he said, Li Qing turned around and saw the glutton sleeping soundly in the courtyard.

"This idiot lives a comfortable life, eating and sleeping all day long."

"Why don't you work hard to cultivate and advance to the second-level monster beast as soon as possible, so that I don't have to worry about the main medicine for the foundation-building pill!"

Li Qing laughed and scolded. This was of course a joke. Even if the glutton really advanced to the second-level monster beast, he couldn't use his monster core to refine the foundation-building pill.

Besides, the cultivation of monster beasts is too much of a test of bloodline aptitude. Basically, at birth, their bloodline determines the upper limit of this life.

The glutton was able to break through to the middle stage of the first level with such a mixed bloodline, which was already hard-won by Li Qing using a large number of beast-raising pills. If there were no other opportunities, it would be basically impossible to reach the late stage of the first level.

Because even if it is a black evil tiger with pure bloodline, it is basically the end of the first stage. Only a few black evil tigers with extraordinary talents or opportunities have the opportunity to advance to the second-level monster beast.

Thinking of this, Li Qing patted his storage bag with his palm.

A flash of red light passed by, and soon, he had several pieces of red crystals dug out from the bodies of the strange beasts in the polar night world.

These red crystals all contain the secret power of the red moon, which is a power that can promote mutation, but the price is that it will become crazy and violent.

Just holding these pieces of red crystals in his hand, Li Qing's consciousness can feel the chaos and madness contained in them, which is why he dare not feed this kind of red crystal to the rice bucket.

However, Li Qing tapped the storage bag again, and two more transparent red crystals appeared in his hands.

The madness and tyranny contained in these two red crystals faded a little, and the reason for all this was Li Qing's blood.

Previously in the secret realm, in order to induce the strange beasts to break the ban, Li Qing used his blood and red crystals as bait.

Later, after the ban was broken, two pieces of red crystals were stained with his blood. Li Qing unexpectedly discovered that these two pieces of red crystals stained with blood did not seem to make people more chaotic and crazy.

"It seems that blood can suppress the side effects of red crystal, but I don't know if animal blood can help."

As he said that, Li Qing looked in the direction of the rice bucket.

The rice bucket, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt a little cold on his back. His tiger body shook, and then he opened his eyes and looked at his master.

"Aoao?"

"Hehe, come here and bleed some blood." Li Qing grinned and conveyed his thoughts.

The rice bucket wailed, but did not resist. He honestly let Li Qing pour a small bowl of bright red and rich tiger blood from his body.

"Aohou!"

"Okay, stop shouting. This is not for you. If animal blood can also suppress the side effects of red crystal, then you can also..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qing closed his mouth, squinted his eyes, and even released his consciousness to carefully observe the changes of red crystal.

At this time, he had already immersed a piece of red crystal in tiger blood, and saw that bubbles appeared in this bowl of tiger blood, as if it was boiling.

Soon, the madness and violence contained in the red crystal quickly dissipated to a very low level, which could be said to be negligible.

"It really works!"

Li Qing raised the red crystal again and aimed it at the cold moon in the sky. The red crystal, which was still stained with tiger blood, seemed to become more transparent and brighter.

"Although taking the red crystal next may not make you lose your mind, once you take in the secret power of the red moon, it is likely to cause you to mutate."

"This mutation may be benign or malignant, and it may vary from beast to beast. You'd better think about it again, whether to take it or not!"

As he said, Li Qing handed the red crystal that had been purified by blood to Fan Tong, and told it clearly the pros and cons.

Through the seal of the blood covenant between the two, Fan Tong also clearly felt the meaning conveyed by Li Qing's mind.

At this moment, Fan Tong's head drooped down, and he seemed to hesitate, as if he was really thinking about this problem.

Li Qing didn't say much. This was Fan Tong's decision. He would not interfere. The pros and cons had been made very clear.

Although Fan Tong has been with him for so many years, the relationship between the two is definitely not that of a master and a pet. If you insist, it is more like a partnership.

One man and one tiger, they depend on each other for life. From the secular world to the world of immortal cultivation, they have experienced many things along the way and have already become extremely tacit.

No matter what decision Fan Tong makes, Li Qing will not interfere.

Even if it does not choose to eat the red crystal, he will find other spiritual objects for it in the future to help it advance or strengthen its bloodline.

As if noticing Fan Tong's hesitation, Li Qing smiled gently and said:

"It doesn't matter, there is plenty of time, you can think about it slowly."

After that, Li Qing turned around and prepared to go back to meditate and practice, but suddenly, Fan Tong grabbed his robe with his claws.

"Ah!"

"Have you thought about it? You know, so far, no monster has ever taken red crystal, even if it has been purified!"

Feeling the idea conveyed by the rice bucket, Li Qing persuaded him seriously.

"Aoao!"

The meaning of the rice bucket was already very clear. It shook its huge body, and its huge tiger eyes contained determination.

After accompanying Li Qing for so many years, it knew that its strength was gradually not keeping up with Li Qing. Perhaps in the future, it would no longer be able to help Li Qing.

So it wanted to become stronger and was extremely eager to swallow the red crystal. This was a desire from the bones.

Even if some deformation might occur after eating it, it didn't care at all. It had already thought very clearly.

"You silly tiger, eat it." Li Qing handed the red crystal into the rice bucket's mouth, and then scratched its round head.

Boom!

The moment the red crystal entered the rice bucket's mouth, Li Qing noticed that the blood in its body seemed to start churning, and it immediately reacted.

I don't know whether it's a good or bad change, but it has already begun!
