Chapter 243: The Path of Demons and Immortals, Peaceful Years (Please Subscribe)

Xuanjing chuckled lightly and said a meaningful sentence: "Does one have to have a demonic aura to be considered a demon?"

The young Li Hu was stunned by its behavior.

Li Qing was not fooled by it: "Stop being pretentious and tell me what's going on?"

Xuanjing licked her paws: "In the world of cultivation, extraordinary beasts are divided into three categories. One category is like me, which swallows spiritual energy and does not need blood food. It is called a spiritual beast."

"The second category is those who swallow and breathe demonic energy, which are incompatible with spiritual energy. Their breath is ferocious and difficult to reconcile, and they like to eat blood. They are called monsters."

"The third category is those who are born with strong physical bodies, do not absorb spiritual energy or demonic energy, but only deposit their own blood and essence, have confused spiritual intelligence, and have a violent temper. They are called savage beasts."

"Wait!" Li Qing interrupted with a wave of his hand, "What is a beast?"

Xuanjing frowned and recalled: "Hey! It seems that this thing is extinct in Qinghe Continent. It's normal that you haven't heard of it."

"This kind of beast is rich in essence and blood, and is full of energy essence. It is the best for tempering the Tao body. Therefore, it is very popular among physical practitioners."

"I estimate that they will become extinct. Most likely they will be eaten to extinction by body cultivators. You human cultivators are so cruel!"

Li Qing: ...Human monk Feng Ping was killed!

Xuan Jing looked at Li Hu: "And his adoptive mother, the big white cat you mentioned, if nothing else, should be a variant of the monster!"

It waved its claw lightly and absorbed a ray of energy from Li Hu: "There are two ways to advance the monster."

"The first is to continuously refine the demon body and advance the bloodline, thereby transforming into a stronger demon beast."

"The second is to transform into a human body, and practice the techniques compiled by human monks. Those who still practice monsters are called big monsters, or big monsters for short."

"But if you turn to other paths, you will have so-called demon gods, demons, and demons."

Xuanjing sniffed the scent: "This half of the same race should follow the path of the demon and immortal. The demonic aura around him has turned into immortal aura. You, a human being, naturally cannot feel it."

Li Qing couldn't help but suddenly realized something was wrong: "Don't you reincarnate every three hundred years and clean your memory regularly? How do you know this?"

Xuanjing looked towards Xuefeng Lake with a complex expression: "After coming out of the secret realm, I remembered a lot again."

"Although it does not contain memories of my experiences, some knowledge that does not involve specific people and events gradually became clear."

Li Qing was stunned for a moment: "It turns out there is an unexpected surprise!"

Xuanjing jumped off his shoulder: "Can I follow this little kid during this period? I think he is also a showman, so I can give him some guidance."

Li Qing was complacent, but pointed at the four kittens: "They are also wind spiritual beasts, just like you. You can teach them together by the way."

Xuanjing tilted her head and thought for a long time: "Okay, anyway, a sheep can be herded, and a group of sheep can be herded. Well, by the way, I want to eat roasted whole lamb!"

Li Qing didn't expect it to think so quickly, but he still nodded in agreement: "Okay! I'll have someone buy some spiritual sheep!"

The Li family does not raise sheep-like spiritual animals. If you want to eat these, you have to buy them from other families.

Xuanjing opened the storage bag grandly and took out a handful of raw spirit stones: "Is this enough?"

Li Qing glanced at the rough middle-grade spiritual stones mixed in: "That's enough! If you eat ten spiritual sheep, you can find spiritual stones."

"That's good! The change will be given to the errand boy." Xuan Jing didn't care about these minor details.

Li Qing knew that it was rich, so he did not refuse. He collected the raw ore of the spirit stone and sent a messenger to ask people to go out of the valley to buy the spirit sheep.

He called the Asuns out of their Dantian.

The little ones were very familiar with their playmate Li Hu, and soon they were laughing and joking.

Li Qing ignored them, entered the quiet room with the spiritual spring, and threw all the raw spiritual stones into it.

"Gululu..." The spiritual spring rolled, depositing the ore into the spiritual veins at the bottom, integrating with the growing spiritual stone veins.

Xuanjing left the secret realm for the first time. She still didn't know whether the raw ore could be used for trading. She had to use the magic passed down by Emperor Yuan to turn it into a regular "spiritual stone".

These raw spiritual stones are of good quality, and several of them have a chance of transforming from low-grade spiritual stones into medium-grade spiritual stones. It would be a pity to just refine them like this.

As for the spiritual sheep purchased and the spiritual stones given as rewards to the errand runners, they were naturally taken out of public accounts and deducted from Li Qing's monthly allowance - even though Li Qing didn't like these three melons and two dates at all.

That night, the front yard of Li Qingdong Mansion was bustling with activity.

In addition to Li Qing and the elves, others who were close to Li Qing also came over to celebrate Li Qing's breakthrough to the "third level of foundation building."

Chaoyin volunteered to be the chef of the evening meal.

Although he can also use fire spells, the transformation is somewhat sluggish and can easily turn the sheep into charcoal.

In desperation, he called Ah Zao over to help light the fire and control the heat.

The two little guys were busy working, and soon the smell of roasted whole lamb hit their nostrils along the wind.

As for where the wind comes from, you have to ask Xuanjing, the wind spirit beast.

Before waiting for the whole lamb to be roasted, Li Qing asked people to take various spiritual fruits, squeeze them into sweet and sour spiritual juice, put them into smoothies, and give them to Li Hu, Li Ling'er, Li Yue'er and other juniors to try.

Some of the spiritual fruits were originally inaccessible to them because the spiritual energy concentration was too high.

But Li Qing added the millet grown on Chaoyin Cordyceps into it, and after some mixing, they were also fortunate enough to enjoy the delicious taste of high-grade spiritual fruit.

Li Qing couldn't help but smile when he saw the little ones narrowing their eyes with happiness and almost bubbling over.

"Uncle! Have some yourself!" Li Wei also brought him a glass of juice.

Li Qing took it with a smile, took a sip, and asked about her recent progress in cultivation.

During this period, Li Wei stayed at the Lingfeng where the Jiuxuan fruit trees were planted. While taking care of the fruit trees, she helped the Jiuxuan fruit spirit insects to extend the roots of the cordyceps to the entire mountain.

As early as a year ago, she had broken through the sixth level of Qi training, and now she was striving for the seventh level of Qi training to compete for the two visualization map quotas offered by the clan.

Li Qing actually had one extra visualization map quota, which was the "hush money" given by Xuan Palace after coming out of the Lingtao Secret Realm.

Li Qing had decided that if Li Wei could not break through the late stage of Qi training and win the quota before the age of 40, he would give it to her.

But Li Wei was holding back now, so he didn't point it out. After all, it was a good thing that the younger generation was willing to make progress.

The two chatted for a while, while Chaoyin finally finished roasting the whole lamb, dipped it in the secret sauce, cut it into pieces, and sent it to a row of jade tables.

Li Qing laughed and pointed at Chaoyin who had transformed into a butterfly with a magic trick: "This skill, just by smelling the fragrance, you know it's not ordinary! Don't be restrained, just eat it with your stomach full!"

Soon, the playful little guys stopped playing and tasted the delicious roasted whole lamb with a "smacking" sound.

For a while, the years were peaceful.
