Chapter 676: Consolidating Oneself
The sudden thunderstorm on Qingyun Peak did not hurt Li Qing at all. He relied on his boundless magic power to bear it.
After the thunderclouds gradually dissipated, Li Qing's figure slowly fell from the sky, and at the same time, he restrained the spiritual pressure that was constantly emanating from himself.
The cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage!
In the lower realm, he is definitely a top existence. No matter where he is placed, he is a well-deserved ancestor-level figure.
In the past, some people might think that Li Qing was only in the Jindan stage, and it was somewhat unworthy to call him the Wuji Patriarch. But now no one can question his identity and status anymore.
After Li Qing fell, several supreme elders in Lingyun Sect all clasped their fists towards Li Qing and said, "Congratulations to Senior Brother Li for achieving the Nascent Soul Stage!"
Immediately afterwards, all the disciples and foundation-building elders of the sect also shouted in unison:
"Congratulations to Ancestor Wuji for successfully condensing his Nascent Soul and achieving great success in his cultivation!"
While saying this, many people showed excited expressions.
Now that there is an additional Nascent Soul cultivator in the sect, it means that Lingyun Sect finally has the capital to compete with the foreign Xiaoyao Sect.
They have had enough of being trapped in the formation like this.
Everyone in the sect looked forward to Li Qing, waiting for him to issue a declaration of war!
However, Li Qing was not so reckless and impulsive. He put his hands behind his back and looked around the sect.
He naturally knew what the other disciples in the sect were thinking.
But now that he has just succeeded in condensing his infant, he is going to go head-to-head with the Xiaoyao Patriarch, which is not in line with his style.
It's not that he has no confidence in defeating the other party, but Li Qing likes to be cautious in doing things. He will not consider taking action until he is at least 70% sure.
"Everyone, I understand what you are thinking now!"
"There can't be two tigers in one mountain, and there can't be two suns in the sky. Everyone understands this truth."
"But the time is not yet ripe. If we rashly go to war with Xiaoyao Sect, the losses we will suffer at that time may be quite heavy."
"We have to wait, continue to wait for the time to mature, and then fight to win the Xiaoyao Sect in one fell swoop!"
After hearing Li Qing's words, many disciples became rational again.
It was indeed because they saw that the Wuji Patriarch successfully condensed his infant, and their emotions were too excited, which led to their blood boiling, so they couldn't wait to go to war with Xiaoyao Sect.
But thinking about it carefully, such an idea is really too reckless, and it is very likely to play into the enemy's hands.
At this time, Li Qing chuckled and said:
"Next, I plan to conceal the fact that I have successfully promoted to the Nascent Soul Stage, and even continue to close the mountain gate, so as to let Xiaoyao Sect relax its vigilance."
"In the future, I hope you can continue to practice hard and make your own strength reach a higher level."
"I promise you that the day when my Lingyun Sect will come out again will not be far away!"
Hearing this, all the disciples of Lingyun Sect became excited again, and they shouted:
"Great Lingyun! Great Wuji Ancestor!"
It has been a long time since they joined the sect. While enjoying so many conveniences, many disciples naturally have a sense of identity with Lingyun Sect from the heart.
In this surging and exciting emotion, Li Qing waved his hand and returned to his cave.
At the same time, he sent a message to the other supreme elders, asking them to come with him.
In Qingyun Peak, in Li Qing's cave.
Wu Chong, Ziqing Zhenren, Shen Ningbing, Fu Xuan Zhenren, and Su Xin, the five supreme elders of Lingyun Sect, followed Li Qing into the cave.
"Li Qing, what's the important matter that you called us here for?" Wu Chong asked curiously.
In the cave, Li Qing did not put on any airs of a Yuanying Zhenjun, and remained the same as before, without any changes.
"Although the condensation of the infant was successful this time, the process was extremely dangerous. Any slight mistake could lead to an irreparable situation."
"However, because of this dangerous experience of condensing the infant, I also gained a lot of personal insights. I will write down all these insights later and put them in the sect's transmission hall. You can check them freely."
After hearing this, several people looked happy.
The insights of breaking through the realm recorded by a Yuanying cultivator who had just successfully condensed the infant are definitely a thing of amazing value.
If they also reach the peak of the Jindan in the future and are at the critical moment of condensing the infant, this insight may be of great help to them.
Even the usually serious Fu Xuan Zhenren had a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
But it wasn't over yet. What Li Qing took out next made everyone gasp.
"Also, do you remember the thousand-year-old dragon blood vine in the sect?"
"I asked someone to refine it into a furnace of dragon pills. If it weren't for the amazing effect of this pill, which provided some help at the critical moment, the result of my infant condensation this time would still be unknown."
As he said that, Li Qing took out five dark red elixirs from the storage bag.
Li Qing smiled and said, "The dragon pill furnace produces seven pills. One of them was given as a reward to Tianbao Zhenjun of Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, and the other one was naturally taken by me."
"Now there are five left. Each of you can take one back."
Hiss!
Looking at the five dark red pills that Li Qing took out, the five people all gasped at this moment, and their emotions were shocked to the extreme.
This is really impactful. Five Dragon Transformation Pills, this is a pill of astonishing value!
Taking one out at random can make all the monks in the alchemy stage all over the world go crazy for it, and even fight for it at all costs.
For a moment, they didn't know what to say.
reject?
This really goes against their true intentions. They are also monks in the pill-forming stage, and the temptation of the Dragon Transformation Pill is really too great for them.
Master Fu Xuan gritted his teeth and shook his head:
"This is really too precious. I didn't put any effort into refining this Dragon Transformation Pill. I feel worthy of receiving this great gift."
Shen Ningbing also pursed her red lips and said, "Senior Brother Li, this elixir is of astonishing value, so it's really worth giving it away like this."
The other people also nodded, obviously embarrassed to accept this gift.
But Li Qing insisted on giving away the elixir:
"A person can only take one Dragon Transformation Pill in his life. For me, these five pills are of no other use if they are left in my body."
"And if we hadn't worked together to defeat the Shangqing Sect, how could we have obtained the most important main ingredient of the Dragon Transformation Pill, Dragon Blood Vine?"
"Everyone has contributed to this matter. You'd better not refuse. Just accept it."
"If the sect can have one or two more Nascent Soul stage monks in the future, this will be the most important thing!"
"Or are you saying that you have given up on practicing and don't plan to attack Nascent Soul?"
Having already said this, it would seem a bit hypocritical to decline further.
In the end, they accepted the Dragon Transformation Pill and silently accepted this huge favor from Li Qing.
Only the ancestor Ziqing waved his hand and rejected Li Qing's kindness with a nonchalant attitude.
"I don't want this pill anymore. I don't have much life left. I'm afraid it will be difficult to make any progress in my cultivation in this life. I probably won't have the chance to use this precious Dragon Transformation Pill in my life."
When Patriarch Ziqing said this, he was extremely free and easy, without any hint of sadness.
As soon as these words came out, Li Qing was slightly startled, and then said: "Ancestor, why do you say such depressing words? The sect now has a recipe for a spiritual nourishing pill. In the future, I can go to sea to hunt down some third-level monsters for you." Let’s refine the elixir.”
Before Li Qing could finish his words, the ancestor of Ziqing raised his hand to interrupt Li Qing. He said happily:
"As long as you have the heart, there is no need to spend so much energy on me."
"I have taken the spirit-nourishing pill before, but I have wasted a lot of time over the years. Now I am getting old, my energy and blood have gradually dried up, and my energy has declined. The effect of the spirit-nourishing pill is not very obvious to me."
"Now that you have been promoted to Nascent Soul, you are the ancestor of the sect. You should think more about yourself. Only when you are stronger can the sect become more prosperous."
In the end, Patriarch Ziqing rejected all Li Qing's good intentions. Knowing his current situation, he had no nerve to waste the sect's cultivation resources.
It would be better to let the other young Supreme Elders grow up. This is called proper use of the sect's resources!
No matter how Li Qing tried to persuade him, Patriarch Ziqing’s attitude was extremely firm.
In this way, as the five supreme elders left their cave, Li Qing looked at the last Dragon Transformation Pill left in his hand and sighed heavily.
The reason why he took out the Dragon Transformation Pill so generously was not only because they had a share of these pills, but also because Li Qing truly hoped that their path could go further.
The higher your cultivation level, the longer your life span.
In this way, his future path may not seem so lonely.
Just before, when Li Qing successfully broke through the inner demon tribulation and officially became a monk in the Nascent Soul stage, he also clearly saw that his lifespan had increased by more than six hundred years!
Normally, a monk in the elixir formation stage can easily live to be over five hundred years old, and it is normal for those with longer lives to live to be six or seven hundred years old.
The lifespan of a monk in the Nascent Soul stage is over a thousand years!
Li Qing has refined many magic weapons and magic weapons since he formed the elixir. Although he also lost his lifespan by condensing the seven-color life essence with the "Demon Transformation Art", his lifespan is still extremely abundant.
From the moment he officially became the Nascent Soul Lord, Li Qing's remaining lifespan reached an extremely exaggerated number.
Two thousand four hundred and eighty-two years!
In the past, he would feel complacent because of his abundant longevity, but now he feels inexplicably a little timid.
Even for immortal cultivators, the lifespan of more than two thousand years is too long, and even many monsters may not have such a long lifespan.
Just imagine, after a thousand years, old friends gradually withered away from the world, and the world of immortality also changed batch after batch of faces.
Whether they were old friends or rivals, they all passed away. Looking around the world, just looking for someone to talk to seems to have become a luxury.
This is probably what is called the silence of the whole world.
"Is immortality a gift or a curse?"
Li Qing sighed deeply in the cave, and the joy of successfully condensing the baby was diluted a lot.
He understands that because of his special situation, such a slightly lonely future will eventually come.
Therefore, Li Qing hopes that his old friends can live longer, climb higher on the road, and delay such a future as much as possible.
Putting away the thoughts that had just occurred along with the last Dragon Transformation Pill, Li Qing took out a jade slip and began to engrave some of the insights he had when he attacked the Nascent Soul.
He recorded all these insights in the jade slip, hoping that it would be able to help others in the sect to attack the Nascent Soul in the future.
First of all, it is of course about tempering the mental state, which is directly related to the success or failure of the final inner demon tribulation. It is also what Li Qing believes is the most important part of attacking the Nascent Soul.
Li Qing mentioned in his sentiments that no matter what, before attacking the Nascent Soul, he should review the path he has taken and the things he has experienced. It is best to walk the future step by step in person.
He did just that and made up for many shortcomings in his life!
But despite this, he still encountered considerable difficulties and obstacles in the inner demon tribulation. If he had not returned to the world of mortals, Li Qing knew that even if he had the help of Linglong Xianyin, it would be difficult to overcome the inner demon tribulation.
"What are inner demons and inner demons? Sometimes even you are not aware of the demons in your heart, so you need to take them seriously!"
After carefully recording this passage, Li Qing began to think about the cracking of the golden elixir that he encountered when he was a baby.
Having successfully condensed the Nascent Soul, he now has a lot more understanding when he looks back on this matter.
That is caused by the innate shortcomings of one's own qualifications, coupled with the lack of acquired experience.
Li Qing originally thought that after he reached the peak of pill formation, he would have no worries, but he forgot one thing.
He was just a monk with four spiritual roots, and his innate qualifications were extremely average. Under such circumstances, he was less than two hundred years old when he reached the Nascent Soul stage!
This is indeed a bit shocking, and the background is really thin.
Therefore, he caused a slight crack in the flawless golden elixir when he absorbed a massive amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth when he broke through the barrier.
"If I had to do it over again, regardless of other external factors, it would be best for me to polish and settle it for another thirty to fifty years. Then it would be much safer to perform the infant condensation again, and most likely there would be no cracking of the golden elixir."
Li Qing looked back at himself at that time with his cultivation in the Nascent Soul stage, and he was able to see a lot more clearly.
In this way, Li Qing imprinted his complete Ningying insights into this jade slip, and then sent it to the highest level of the sect's power transmission hall.
After doing all this, he consolidated his cultivation and realm in the cave, making his still slightly restless aura quickly settle down and stabilize.
After that, Li Qing held up a scroll left by Crimson Huang Tianjun and patiently and carefully studied and comprehended it.
After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, he was able to practice more divine passage methods inherited from the Scarlet Glory Heavenly Lord. In order to rapidly increase his combat power, Li Qing put more thought and energy into the Scarlet Glory Heavenly Lord. Among your inheritance.
In addition, he did not forget to use his pure essence to warm the Hunyuan Wushuang Hammer at all times.
During this process, the Hunyuan Wushuang Hammer is also rapidly evolving towards the natal magic weapon of Yuanying Stage monks, and its power gradually becomes more and more powerful.
