Chapter 342: Successive Foundation Building, Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation (4K)
Li Qing used the Earthly Immortal Realm to temporarily stabilize the earthquake in Qinghe Valley, then flew out of the cave and looked up at the sky.
In the direction of Xuefeng Lake, the long rainbow that had been suspended due to the emergence of the Mysterious Crystal Secret Realm had been shattered, barely maintaining a glimmer of light.
The entire Xuefeng Lake, as if the door to the abyss had been opened, turned into a huge pit.
The originally full lake water was constantly pouring back into the pit, forming a huge whirlpool.
Fortunately, the Xuan Palace had already issued a decree, and many families found something wrong and had joined forces to block Xuefeng Lake and inform the surrounding mortals.
At this moment, there were no fishermen or boatmen on Xuefeng Lake, so there were not many casualties.
In contrast to the lake water that was pouring back, the pit was constantly gushing out a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
This spiritual energy was very rich. According to Li Qing's knowledge, at least the third-level spiritual veins could not compare with it.
But the aura seemed to contain some strange energy, giving people a sense of wildness.
Li Qing couldn't help but sigh: "It's true that the ancient secret realm has appeared in the world."
Man proposes, God disposes. His idea of using the Xuanjing Secret Realm to achieve more foundation-building fellows, and helping each other was a failure.
But he didn't get discouraged, but calmly called Li Wei, and gave him orders like this, and soon stabilized the situation in Qinghe Valley.
"Next, it depends on how Xuan Palace responds." He thought to himself, and sent out three communication talismans, flying to Yanglong Lake, Xinghua Village, and Zhuxin Island.
Fortunately, there was movement from Xuan Palace soon.
In the courtyard of Xuan Palace stationed in the surrounding area, a red palace magic weapon flew up and landed over Xuefeng Lake.
The palace magic weapon was originally only about ten feet square. After landing, it expanded violently and soon covered more than a hundred miles.
The sky was covered with a majestic aura, which made people feel awe from the bottom of their hearts.
At the same time, red talismans flew out of the palace, shooting towards the clans of the major families like flowers scattered by fairies.
Li Qing opened a gap in the earthly immortal world, and one of the talismans slipped in, and landed in front of him as if it had a spirit.
He took the talisman casually, and a line of gilded characters appeared in front of him.
"In accordance with the imperial edict: the Li family of Qinghe Valley is ordered to guard the gate carefully and not cause trouble. Use this talisman to suppress the spiritual vein to ensure safety."
Li Qing's mind was full of thoughts, but he bowed calmly: "The Li family of Qinghe Valley, obey the edict!"
The talisman seemed to have a spirit, and it jumped twice in his hand before it lost its halo and became simple.
He carried the talisman into the dragon cave spiritual spring, hesitated for a moment, and finally sank it into the depths of the spiritual vein.
The wind was calm, and there was no change in the spiritual veins of Qinghe Valley.
Li Qing sat beside the spiritual spring, using his spiritual sense to sense the Qinglian spiritual roots, the big fish image, and the Xuanhuang spiritual fish that suppressed the earthly immortal world, but he did not find any clues.
Facing other Yuanying Zhenjun who might flock to him, Xuan Gong acted so high-profile, which was somewhat beyond Li Qing's expectations.
He was originally thinking whether there would be a Yuanying war near Xuefeng Lake, involving all the foundation-building and Qi-training families.
After everyone survived a narrow escape, the national teacher came out to clean up the mess, and by the way, he showed his spiritual cultivation and suppressed the whole scene.
But this flying talisman, with the words "safe and sound", undoubtedly demonstrated Xuan Gong's confidence and determination.
This talisman was named the national teacher's decree, so naturally it could not be spoken at random!
Otherwise, even if Xuan Gong won in the end, it would definitely be criticized and tarnish the reputation of the national teacher.
"That's fine." He made up his mind, closed his eyes slightly, left the talisman in the spirit vein, and used his minor magical power to go to the Xuanjing Secret Realm.
At this time, the female cultivator Guo Xiu stabilized the realm of foundation building, and was fully integrating the foundation and condensing the minor magical power.
The second batch of four peak Qi training cultivators have already arrived and are preparing to challenge the threshold of foundation building.
Because two non-foundation building seeds strayed in, and the troublemaker disrupted the situation, there was only one person left out of the original four places in the third batch.
Li Qing also recognized this person, named Zhou Zhang, who was also a foundation building seed from a small Qi training family.
He also did some research on spiritual plants, and was now very interested in discussing the tricks of spiritual plant planting with Xuan Jing.
Xuan Jing was a little puzzled: "Aren't you worried about the foundation building at all? Three of the first four people just passed away."
"What's the point of worrying?" Zhou Zhang spread his hands, "Success or failure is determined by fate, and I can't figure out whether I can succeed. It's better to relax."
Xuan Jing looked at him speechlessly, and after a long while, he muttered: "I hope you can still be so optimistic when it's your turn to break through."
Soon, the second group of four people also began to attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, forming a huge spiritual energy vortex above the spiritual vein.
Li Qing deliberately used the "Wu You Xuan Jing" as a cover to enter the spiritual vein cave and watch the foundation building process of the four people.
What surprised Li Qing was that a family disciple actually took out a foundation building pill and swallowed it with his head tilted back.
"Tsk, it turned out to be the Lu family of Liuyun Peak! What a big deal!" Li Qing was amazed.
However, the foundation building matter is indeed unpredictable.
Although this Lu family member had the foundation-building pill to protect him, he was the first to stop the breakthrough process and collapsed to the ground with a pale face.
"How could this happen!" He was a little hysterical.
Li Qing's eyes were sharp and he soon found something wrong: "It turned out that he was poisoned! Didn't he find it himself?"
He casually snapped his fingers and reinforced the soundproofing ban between the breakthrough points to prevent it from affecting others.
So, just one day later, the second batch of four people all failed to break through.
The other three, one turned into a stone statue, one turned into a wooden figure, and one spontaneously ignited without fire, all sat down and turned away.
At this time, Guo Xiu stabilized Daoji.
She glanced at the Lu family children and paused where the other six were sitting.
"The road to immortality is long and far away, and I will search up and down it. Dear Taoists, please go ahead, and I will take you and other relics back."
With that said, she waved her sleeves, packed away the remains of the others, and left Xuan Jing's cave.
"Congratulations to fellow Taoist for successfully building the foundation!" The big white lion stood up, clasped its two front paws together, and saluted towards her.
Guo Xiu quickly returned the gift: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for opening the door of convenience and lending me your spiritual veins to make a breakthrough."
She was a lonely cultivator, and she didn't know any cultivation skills. After all her wealth was exchanged for foundation-building spiritual objects, she was no longer enough to go to the fairy city to rent a second-level spiritual cave.
If it weren't for the deal between Li Qing and Xuan Jing, she might have hastily broke through the first-level spiritual acupoint in order not to delay the opportunity, and her success or failure was unknown.
Xuanjing glanced at the cave from the corner of her eyes, and waved her hands nonchalantly: "If you want to thank, just thank fellow Taoist Li Qing. I'm just fulfilling my contract with him."
Guo Xiuzhan smiled: "As it should be!"
Zhou Zhang, who was on the side, waited for the two of them to finish their greetings and congratulate Guo Xiu before looking at Xuan Jing: "Senior, is it my turn to break through?"
Xuanjing smiled and said, "Aren't you in a hurry?"
Without waiting for the other party to explain, it raised its claws towards the Xuanjing Mountains and took out a strange Xuanjing: "I think you are quite pleasing to the eye, so I will give you this thing."
"When anchoring the spiritual platform and detecting illusions, placing it between your eyebrows can help you. Whether it can be done depends on your destiny."
This is also a foundation-building spiritual object!
Zhou Zhang looked solemn and bowed to it solemnly: "Junior thanks senior for helping me! If you are lucky enough to succeed in building the foundation, you will be rewarded generously!"
Xuanjing sneered and said: "I can't get out! You can't get in after building the foundation, how can you repay me? Okay, stop talking nonsense and get in quickly!"
Zhou Zhang entered the cave angrily and began to make a breakthrough.
Xuan Jing turned to look at Guo Xiu: "Fellow Taoist Xu also knows that my secret realm special product Xuan Jing is helpful in cultivating spiritual veins. There are still a few days left, you can dig some."
"Now that you have successfully established the foundation, Xuan Palace will definitely give you a second-level spiritual vein as a gift when you leave. Whether you are accepting disciples or establishing a family, this Xuan Crystal will always be useful."
Guo Xiu was overjoyed when he heard this and was not shy: "Thank you fellow Taoist for your generosity! I can really use this Xuan Jing!"
After Guo Xiu left, Li Qing came to Xuanjing and joked: "It seems that my Taoist friend is very rich. He even produces such foundation-building spiritual objects? I wonder what kind of treasure it is?"
Xuanjing swept his tail over the newly planted lettuce spiritual plant, and replied via voice transmission: "I only discovered it recently. It's probably the Xuan Jing that was contaminated with the soul of my previous life!"
"This thing doesn't have a specific name. I thought about it, maybe call it 'divine crystal'..."
Li Qing helplessly held up his forehead: "I think 'soul crystal' sounds better."
Then he came to his senses and said in a solemn voice: "Contaminated by the soul of your previous life? What's going on?"
Xuanjing's voice gradually became lower: "It probably has something to do with my constant reincarnation. I'm still exploring the details. Once the results are available, I'll tell you in detail."
Li Qing didn't force it: "Well, just know it yourself! If you have any difficulties, don't hold it in. You can come to me at any time."
Xuan Jing chuckled twice, waved her big claw, and more than a dozen soul crystals fell next to Li Qing: "You can keep these. If someone in the Li family builds a foundation in the future, they will also need it!"
Li Qing put them away with a smile: "Fellow Taoist is really generous! I'll thank you in advance. When the situation in Xuefeng Lake calms down, I will bring you spiritual food in to try."
In the cave, the children of the Lu family finally calmed down and opened their eyes leisurely, just in time to see Xuan Jing disappearing out of thin air.
His eyes widened and he covered his mouth forcefully, as if he had discovered some secret that he shouldn't know.
Li Qing glanced over: "I forgot about you!"
Immediately, the "Wu You Xuan Jing" was activated, slightly tampering with his memory.
On the other side, Zhou Zhang finished adjusting his breath and began to attack the foundation building bottleneck.
Without any hesitation, he placed the soul crystal given by Xuan Jing between his eyebrows, and then used his magic power to flow upstream along the meridians and acupoints.
Li Qing observed carefully and saw that the soul crystal was emitting a faint white light, which was secretly pulling Zhou Zhang's magic power towards the spiritual platform.
As the white light gradually disappeared, a little bit of true energy suddenly escaped from Zhou Zhang's body.
He opened his eyes again, took off the dim soul crystal and put it away, then took out a Yuan Ning Dan and drank it.
The subsequent step of transforming into true essence was very time-consuming, so Li Qing did not wait for him to complete, said hello to Xuan Jing, and returned to Qinghe Valley.
Just a short while after he left, there was already a turmoil around Xuefeng Lake.
In the eastern sky, four handsome dragon horses pull a luxurious carriage, facing the red palace in the distance.
In the western sky, a menacing black dragon hovers, with a demonic aura rising around it, making it intimidating.
In the northern sky, three lotus pedestals each carry a female cultivator in a gorgeous dress and a crown. Their branches are connected with each other to compete with the momentum of the palace.
In the southern sky, two old men covered in demonic flames stood in the sky, seemingly unable to sense any aura on their bodies.
Behind these beings, there was a large crowd of people following them, and many of them were more powerful than Sang Yuwan.
Obviously, these are the Nascent Soul Lord who came after hearing the news, their subordinate Lord Jiedan, and the cannon fodder in the foundation building and Qi training period.
Li Qing took a breath of cold air: "Such a scene, it is worthy of being an ancient secret realm!"
If it were not for the imperial master's decree, he would have immediately activated the "Gate of Heavenly Dimension" and fled with the Li family.
More and more powerful people flocked to Xuefeng Lake.
Among them, there were inevitably some blind demon cultivators who wanted to fish in troubled waters, capture a few local cultivators, torture them, and refine them into magic tools.
Among them, some people set their sights on the earthly immortal realm of Qinghe Valley.
Li Qing's heart trembled, and he cursed his bad luck inwardly, and was about to activate the earthly immortal realm and launch a counterattack.
But before he could do anything, the red talisman deep in the spirit vein suddenly burst into a strange light, directly killing the offending demon cultivator.
The same light rose and fell in different places, clearing away the originally turbulent demon atmosphere.
A clear voice came from the red palace: "Seniors, and fellow Taoists, my master has something to say, please listen carefully."
"The emergence of the ancient secret realm is a happy event for my Qinghe Continent. It is understandable that everyone competes for opportunities based on their own abilities."
"But if someone takes the opportunity to stir up trouble and ruin the situation of my Great Zhou, my master will never let them off easily! Don't say I didn't warn you!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Among the three female cultivators in the north, the one with the prettiest face snorted coldly: "Fellow Taoist Chi Xiao is so powerful! He doesn't show up himself, but lets you, a junior, come to take the limelight!"
A demon cultivator in the south laughed strangely: "It is rumored that fellow Taoist Chi Xiao is about to become a god, and it seems to be true! Even you, a mere Jindan, dare to speak nonsense in front of us!"
The other few Yuanying Zhenjun also looked at the red palace with grim eyes.
However, the next moment, the faces of everyone present changed.
A huge momentum surged out of the palace, rushing straight into the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds.
"Boom boom..."
The five-colored clouds in the sky began to gather and condensed into the shape of a calamity cloud, with a faint calamity thunder brewing in it.
"Since you seniors look down on my mere elixir formation, it's easy, I'll just become a Nascent Soul."
The man in the palace smiled softly, and the shadow of the golden elixir was projected out, with nine magical true seeds flowing on it, exuding a powerful aura.
The Nascent Soul True Lords who were surrounding them had gloomy faces and waved their hands behind them: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
Then a thunderbolt fell from the high sky.
The thunderbolt was purple and dense, about the thickness of a bowl, and it heavily bombarded the red palace with an aura that shocked the world.
It was the last "Godly Sky Thunder" that Sang Yuwan passed when he formed a elixir!
