Chapter 363: Fantasy Castle, Ginseng Fruit (First Update)
The news that Li Qing spent a lot of money on the fourth-level meditation method to buy a batch of yellow bamboo magic plants soon spread throughout the market of the Doll House.
Soon, many sellers flocked to him to recommend their flagship products.
What Li Qing saw most was the spiritual materials for making dolls, followed by the finished dolls of excellent quality.
According to their functions, they are roughly divided into: substitutes, curses, changes, control, etc., all kinds of things.
Li Qing couldn't help but sigh: "This Doll House has achieved the ultimate in the field it is good at."
He used inactivated spiritual rice as rice witch medicine and purchased a batch of local specialties from the vendors present.
He even bought a lot of seeds of many plant raw materials, ready to plant them in various places of the earthly immortal realm to see if there are any surprises.
When Li Qing returned with a full load and left the market, a middle-aged man with luxurious clothes and extraordinary demeanor called him.
He smiled and performed a noble salute: "I am sorry for not welcoming you. Lisbon, that guy, was so rude for not notifying me."
Li Qing raised his eyebrows and found that the visitor was also a senior fourth-level wizard. His strength might be slightly lower than Lisbon, but he was much younger.
He asked tentatively: "May I ask who you are?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "I am the Grand Archon of the Doll House Wizard Country, Taro. I greet His Excellency the Tree Shepherd."
Li Qing returned the salute: "Hello, His Excellency Taro. I wonder why you are here this time?"
Taro led Li Qing to a castle in the center of the Wizard Country: "When a distinguished guest and a strong man like you comes to the Wizard Country, we naturally want to get to know you. Please do me the honor."
Li Qing shook his head slightly: "I don't deserve the honor. I also want to get to know other important figures in the Wizard Country."
According to Taro's introduction, this castle is the core of the Doll House, which is equivalent to the Emerald Dream of the Emerald Ring.
It is a dreamy milky white color as a whole, and is decorated with many gem structures in the shape of candies and cakes.
On the high dome, the golden glazed tiles reflected the bright skylight, which looked very magnificent and neutralized its fairy-tale feeling.
At this time, the castle gate was open.
Two rows of golden warriors were standing on both sides, with tall statures and resolute expressions. Their eyes turned in the direction of the two people's movement, and their eyes were bright and energetic.
Inside the castle, there were three fourth-level wizards and two earth warriors waiting in the hall.
And behind them, there were many third-level wizards, all looking at this strange guest with curious eyes.
When they saw Li Qing, some of them stood there reservedly, and some greeted him enthusiastically. Overall, it was a very friendly atmosphere.
Wizard Taro was in the middle and introduced his colleagues to Li Qing.
The three fourth-level wizards were witch Selina, Lucy and wizard Weber.
Among them, Selina gave him a stronger sense of threat than Lisbon.
She was wearing long red hair and a doll in a pink dress sat on her shoulders.
The doll's eyes were dark, without any reflection of light, giving people the illusion of being deep and unfathomable.
The two earth warriors, Roderick and Tiffany, a man and a woman, were both very taciturn.
Compared with the Emerald Ring and the wizard hermitage that Li Qing had dealt with, the House of Dolls seemed to be more friendly to the rune warriors.
But even so, the earth warriors did not have much say here.
From their positions and postures, they were more of a guard role for wizards of the same level.
Li Qing greeted them one by one: "It's an honor to meet you all. You are also welcome to visit the Emerald Ring if you have the chance."
Weber said bluntly: "The Emerald Ring is currently in big trouble. Believe me, no wizard is willing to wade into the muddy water at this time."
But Selina quickly retorted: "I would like to go for a walk. I am an outsider visiting, are they going to embarrass me?"
Seeing that they were talking more and more outrageously in front of Li Qing, Taro hurriedly stopped them in a gentle voice and looked at Li Qing again.
"We have prepared a luncheon since you are coming. Please come and taste the specialties of our doll house."
Li Qing smiled and said, "I am looking forward to it!"
So everyone, led by Taro, entered the large restaurant temporarily opened in the side hall.
They prepared a buffet, with lifelike or mechanically fashionable dolls moving back and forth in the restaurant, giving Li Qing a subtle sense of déjà vu.
There was a kind of food that was about the size of a fist and looked like a human being, just like a fat child.
Li Qing approached and smelled it, and there was a refreshing fragrance that went straight into his nose: "Hey, this is..."
Before Taro could introduce it, the witch Lucy next to him had already interrupted: "This is the treasure food of our doll house, Skate, eating one can save thirty years of practice."
Li Qing's mind moved: "I wonder what this Skate is?"
Taro then took the opportunity to say: "This is a creation of the ancient witch country. Its mother body is like a big tree. It bears a round of fruits every thirty years. It is shaped like a baby and is between plants and animals."
Li Qing thought of a legendary treasure: "Ginseng fruit tree?!"
Taro was a little confused: "No! It just looks like a tree, but it's not a tree..."
"Hey, why bother so much, it's delicious!" Selena was a little impatient, put one on a porcelain plate and handed it to Li Qing.
The eyes of everyone present also gathered.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Li Qing calmly took the plate and said, "Since it is a special delicacy, I certainly can't miss it."
He secretly scanned it with his spiritual sense and determined that this thing was definitely not a child, so he made up his mind and threw it directly into his mouth.
"嘤嘤嘤..." A child's cry came from his mouth.
Li Qing remained calm and chewed it gently. With the last scream, a stream of sweet juice lingered between his lips and teeth.
As soon as the juice entered his stomach, a pure witchcraft power flowed into his stomach, emitting a gentle and pure breath.
In Li Qing's dantian, the big tree transformed by the witchcraft inheritance swayed slightly.
This witchcraft power seemed to be guided, flowing into the dantian all at once, converging on the big tree, causing the leaves to rustle.
Under the gaze of the crowd, he naturally operated the tree shepherd meditation method and turned it to his own use.
Taylor asked with a smile: "How do you think this Skate tastes?"
Li Qing smiled and nodded, as if he was savoring it: "It tastes great, and the effect is even stronger."
One Skate did help Li Qing improve his witchcraft skills by about thirty years. Even if it was converted into true essence and condensed again, it was at least worth twenty years of hard work.
Thanks to it, Li Qing's sudden breakthrough to the seventh level of foundation building due to his promotion to the earthly immortal realm was finally stabilized.
He smiled and took out many rare spiritual fruits that had been killed: "Thank you for the hospitality, I will also add some ingredients, please taste the fruits I grew."
