Chapter 684 Preparations Before Departure
The most important part of Li Qing's future cultivation plan is naturally to improve his cultivation.
Although he is now a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, this is not the end point he has set for himself. Water flows to the lower place, and people always have to go to the higher place.
"But the only problem is that in the Nascent Soul stage, it is more and more difficult to improve the cultivation."
Li Qing sighed lightly. Even though he subdued three heavenly and earthly spiritual fires to bless the "Red Huang Burning Heaven Art", the speed of cultivation was far beyond that of ordinary cultivators of the same level, but it was still not enough.
Because in this realm, even cultivators with heavenly spiritual roots cannot achieve rapid progress in cultivation in a very short period of time. They have to spend a long time to slowly endure and rely on water grinding to improve their own cultivation bit by bit.
Therefore, why is it said that many cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage cannot break through until the deadline after entering this realm, and they are still in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage.
Hard practice is difficult to see results, so what can be relied on is some external forces.
Previously, Li Qing could find some corresponding elixirs in each realm to improve his cultivation, but the elixir used to improve the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage, just thinking about it, you can know how precious it is.
"I have searched through the inheritance of Chihuang Tianjun and the things left by Senior Bailing, but I have not been able to find the relevant elixir formula, and I have not even seen the name of the corresponding elixir."
"It can be seen that this elixir that is useful for the Nascent Soul Stage has rarely appeared even in the ancient times."
At this point, Li Qing's eyes fell on the dark room in his cave.
Now if he still wants to make a significant improvement in his cultivation, he can only rely on the strange blood lotus.
But the blood lotus needs a lot of blood essence to be effective. In this world, he does not have so many ways to collect blood essence. Even if he goes out to sea again, it is difficult to hunt so many monsters to support his improvement of the Nascent Soul Stage.
"Alas, there is only one way to deal with it now, that is to go to the Polar Night World!"
"Only the Polar Night World has so many exotic beasts for me to hunt, and it will not attract the attention of other dangerous beings, but I just need to go to explore a wider area."
Speaking of the Polar Night World, Li Qing remembered a lot of things.
For example, he had not been back to see the registered disciples he accepted in the Polar Night World for a long time.
At the beginning, when he was in the Jindan stage, he took the Soul Devouring Demon Flame from a secret realm in the Polar Night World, and then that secret realm collapsed and fell into the space turbulence.
For this reason, he has not continued to go to the Polar Night World, for fear that he would be involved in the space turbulence and be completely torn into pieces.
After all, with the cultivation of the Jindan stage, it is still not enough to face such a disaster.
But he is now a cultivator in the Yuanying stage, and he is proficient in Kunpeng's treasure technique, which can temporarily allow himself to merge into the void.
Moreover, he also possessed the Black Furnace, which had outstanding defensive power. If all these means were added together, he would have some ability to survive if he encountered spatial turbulence.
"Speaking of which, the time flow rate in the Polar Night World is three times that of this world. After so many years, I don't know what the situation there is now." Li Qing murmured.
Although his several registered disciples have already embarked on the Qi and Blood Martial Arts, and their own life spans are far longer than those of ordinary people, they are not immortal cultivators after all. No matter how long their life spans are, they cannot be truly endless.
Adding the three times the time flow rate.
Li Qing felt that this time when he went there, he might once again be the old man sending off the young man.
He did not rush to leave, but continued to list other equally important parts of his cultivation plan.
"I have to continue on the path of creating my own Taoism. Apart from other things, the Dao Jie Wu Ji Jing is still not perfect, and it takes time to slowly refine it."
"There is also the problem of life span. If I still want to practice the Dao Jie Wu Ji Jing in the future, it may cause my life span to be reduced."
From this point of view, Li Qing felt that although he had a life span of more than 2,000 years, it still seemed a little insignificant.
To increase life span, you must refine treasures, which is the most cost-effective and suitable method for him.
Since you want to refine treasures, you naturally have to try to refine Tongtian Lingbao.
At present, he has two ideas for refining Tongtian Lingbao. One of them is Fenglei Yinyi. He has successfully refined the forbidden version of this Tongtian Lingbao. Next, as long as he collects enough spiritual materials, he can start to try to refine it.
The other one is to refining the black furnace. This furnace had another name in ancient times, called the extinction furnace.
This was something that Senior Bai Ling had told him when he was in the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm. Li Qing would naturally not forget it.
Re-refining the Black Furnace to regain the power of the Life-Destroying Furnace.
"Which of the two Tongtian Lingbao can greatly increase my life span and bring about a qualitative change in my strength."
But unfortunately, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is very harsh.
Tongtian Lingbao is not something that can be refined just because you want to. It requires spiritual materials, and the level of spiritual materials required is extremely high. Ordinary things cannot bear the power of Tongtian Lingbao.
Whether it is the Life-Destroying Furnace or the Wind and Thunder Silver Wings, the spiritual materials needed to refine these two Tongtian Lingbao, even if you search the entire Lingyun Sect, you can only find a few auxiliary spiritual materials at most.
So you still need to collect spiritual materials!
After finalizing the future training plan, Li Qing found that he really had to go to the Polar Night World.
In the Polar Night World, he could not only collect exotic beasts to refine his blood essence, but also use the time flow rate of the Polar Night World, which is three times faster than this world, to slowly ponder his own Taoism.
In addition, there is the issue of spiritual materials. The spiritual materials for refining Tongtian Lingbao are rare in this world, but they are not so popular in the Polar Night World. Maybe you can really find one or two!
"But you can't just rely on collecting spiritual materials in the Polar Night World. You have to do two things at the same time, activate the role of the sect, and even try to trade with the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce."
Thinking like this, Li Qing decided on the next schedule.
In the next six months, Li Qing issued two orders to the sect.
First, let the disciples in the sect always be vigilant about the movements of the Great Wilderness in the south, and maintain close contact with the black market forces he sent to the Great Wilderness.
The second is to collect various spiritual materials for refining, especially the precious spiritual materials he wants. As long as there are traces of them in Qingling Domain, information must be collected.
In fact, there was originally a third order, which was to continue to pay attention to the movements of the Grassland Temple Tribe.
But Li Qing thought about it and finally decided to forget it.
Now he is a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. As long as he lives one day, the cultivators in the grassland in the north will never attack.
Li Qing is very confident about this. Even if an elder of the Grassland Temple Tribe succeeds in condensing the Nascent Soul by chance, Li Qing is sure to kill him.
After doing all this, Li Qing took the initiative to go to Wanbao Tower to visit Tianbao Zhenjun.
After all, he was able to condense the Nascent Soul successfully, and this fellow Taoist Tianbao provided him with a lot of help.
In the central area of Qingling Domain, in the Tianhe Market of Lingkong Islands, outside a certain luxurious and extremely impressive building, three large gold-plated characters of Wanbao Tower are hung.
"Hahahaha, Fellow Daoist Wuji succeeded in condensing his infant and solved his greatest enemy. These are two things worth celebrating!"
In the Wanbao Tower, when Zhenjun Tianbao saw Li Qing coming to visit, he smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.
He stroked his mustache with his hand and congratulated him with a smile.
In response, Li Qing clasped his fists in return:
"This is all thanks to Fellow Daoist Tianbao. If it weren't for your timely help, whether I could successfully condense my infant this time would still be unknown."
Now Li Qing has the confidence to call the other party Fellow Daoist Tianbao. Both of them are cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, so they are naturally of the same generation.
In the past, they met in the formation of their own sect. In order not to lose the dignity of his own Lingyun Sect, Li Qing bit the bullet and called the other party Fellow Daoist Tianbao.
Although the other party is kind, he still has some shortcomings.
Tianbao Zhenjun waved his hands repeatedly and said politely: "You are too modest. The reason why Fellow Daoist Wuji was able to successfully condense the Infant Soul is that you are strong enough. I just played a minor role!"
"Hahaha, let's stop talking nonsense. I just don't know what Fellow Daoist Wuji is here for?"
This time, Li Qing came here to ask for help.
"Fellow Daoist Tianbao, I have something to say. I wonder if your chamber of commerce has any elixirs or recipes that can help Yuanying stage cultivators improve their magic power and cultivation?" Li Qing first asked his first question.
As soon as these words came out, Tianbao Zhenjun took out a palm leaf fan and waved his hands repeatedly, saying:
"This is a confidential matter of our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, but it is not easy to reveal it to outsiders. I hope you can forgive me."
"Even if I have such a miraculous elixir of this level in my building, I can't trade it."
This statement was very obscure, and Li Qing immediately understood the meaning of the other party's words.
Wanbao Chamber of Commerce does have such a precious elixir recipe, but due to confidentiality, the other party cannot even reveal the name of this elixir.
Li Qing, who guessed the hidden meaning of this statement, was secretly shocked, thinking that the background of this Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is really terrifying, and even such a rare elixir recipe is collected.
"So that's it, I understand this matter." Li Qing clasped his fists again and apologized for his abruptness.
In fact, this is also normal. Such a rare and heaven-defying elixir is an extremely important secret no matter which force in the lower world it is placed in, and it is impossible to use it as a trading item.
It's too late to use it to cultivate his own Yuanying stage cultivators!
So, Li Qing casually threw out his second request for this trip.
"I want to refine a magic weapon, but now I am quite troubled by the spiritual materials. I wonder if your chamber of commerce has any collection?"
As he said, Li Qing handed over a bamboo slip that recorded the spiritual materials he needed.
Tianbao Zhenjun took the bamboo slip handed by Li Qing with a smile on his face. After seeing the names of the spiritual materials recorded on it, the smile on his face froze instantly.
A pair of fourth-stage late-stage demon bird wing bones, empty moon crystal sand, and high-year thunder sound bamboo.
"Uh, cough, fellow Daoist, although my Wanbao Chamber of Commerce claims to collect all the treasures in the world, it doesn't have everything you want!"
Tianbao Zhenjun coughed and was also shocked by the spiritual materials Li Qing wanted.
Any of the spiritual materials above are rare in the world and are almost impossible to circulate in the outside world.
Even the headquarters of his Wanbao Chamber of Commerce may not have any of them!
Hearing what the other party said, Li Qing couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but he quickly dispelled this disappointment.
After all, the things he wanted were spiritual materials used to refine the Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, so they were naturally extremely precious.
"It's not necessary to get it right away. I just want to ask fellow Taoist Tianbao to keep an eye on the relevant information for me in the future. If there is any news, just let me know." Li Qing also said with a wry smile.
True Lord Tianbao's expression softened a lot. He nodded slowly, and then said:
"That's no problem, but I have to tell you that normally even if such rare spiritual materials do appear, they will be traded away as soon as possible."
Li Qing naturally understands this, but there is no other way. The Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has a wide range of paths, so he can only pin part of his hope of collecting all the spiritual materials on the other party.
After explaining the matter, Li Qing clasped his fists and left Wanbao Tower in Tianhefang City.
In the building, Lord Tianbao looked at Li Qing's figure disappearing into the sky, and then murmured to himself with emotion:
"This person is really extraordinary. With his qualifications of four spiritual roots, he succeeded in condensation at the age of less than 200 years old. He also mastered three heaven and earth spiritual fires. His luck is astonishing."
"After Ning Ying succeeds, he can kill a monk of the same level by himself. This is not something ordinary people can do."
"Now we have to collect such extremely rare spiritual materials. Judging from the quality of these required spiritual materials, I am afraid that what is being refined is a yellow-grade Tongtian Spiritual Treasure."
True Lord Tianbao understood Li Qing's details in a few words. The Wanbao Chamber of Commerce spans many large areas in the lower realm, and its intelligence gathering ability is naturally second to none.
After Li Qing successfully condensed the infant, True Lord Tianbao specially collected a lot of information from the entire chamber of commerce. Finally, he found many clues in the Great Wilderness from the Taoist name Wuji, and then he saw Li Qing's background.
However, True Lord Tianbao naturally did not have any malicious intentions. He then slowly picked up the pen and wrote two confidential letters to the headquarters of Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
One of the secret letters was sent to all branches of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, with the purpose of letting these branches pay attention to the rare spiritual materials that Li Qing needed just now.
The second secret letter focused on Li Qing himself. In this letter, True Lord Tianbao praised True Lord Wuji and asked the people of the Chamber of Commerce to remember not to make enemies with this person, but to make friends with him!
