Chapter 468: The Roaring Dragon, the Beginning of the Red Flame (4K)

Soon after Zhao Xuan went to a third-level cave to rest, Sang Yuwan and Niu Xinjing arrived at Kunpeng Blessed Land.

After Li Qing asked for his opinion, he brought the two of them to visit.

"Hello, Brother Zhao!"

"Hello, fellow Taoists!"

After the two sides greeted each other, they sat at the table to drink tea and chat for a while before getting down to business.

Zhao Xuansu was quick to speak. Since he was ready to agree to the conditions of the three families, he did not deliberately make trouble and directly stated his requirements.

"I can give up a territory equivalent to about half of Xuefeng Lake, but in return, the three of you have to help me deal with the threat from Dale Country."

The three families had been prepared for this point, and they did not argue too much, and nodded in agreement.

Zhao Xuan said again: "In addition, I have a polluted second-level secret realm that needs to be handed over to you, and you will guard it in the future."

In this way, he can also withdraw some of his living forces to guard Changyan Immortal City.

Li Qing and Sang Yuwan looked at Niu Xinjing and communicated with each other through telepathy: "Does Brother Niu have any difficulties?"

The Niu family is not like the Sang family, which has so many second-level old dragons left by the predecessors, and is not like the Li family, which has many opportunities and is relatively shallow.

Niu Xinjing hesitated for a moment and asked Zhao Xuan: "I wonder what this polluted secret realm has to say?"

Zhao Xuan said: "This secret realm only allows cultivators below the middle stage of foundation building to enter, but there is a late second-level wild beast inside."

"Originally, the resources in the secret realm were limited, and the wild beast liked to entrust its children to the cultivators who entered. As a beast, it was the best of both worlds."

"But I don't know when this wild beast became possessed and began to practice evil methods with blood sacrifices. At first, it only sacrificed blood to the cultivators who entered."

"Later, this beast was completely He was possessed by the devil and actually refined all his descendants to become a quasi-third-level devil."

"And the task of guarding is to rely on the existing magic array to close the entrance to the secret realm to prevent outsiders from breaking in."

"It's okay for these people to kill themselves, but I'm afraid that they will bring out the devil's evil thoughts and blood, which will cause endless troubles."

Niu Xinjing thought for a moment, and finally sent a message to Sang and Li for help: "At present, my Niu family only has Niu Jiang, a foundation-building combat force, and I really can't leave. Please help me."

Li Qing and Sang Yuwan didn't hesitate.

"I can send a second-level spirit beast over, but this beast rarely communicates with people. If there is anything inappropriate, you need to be tolerant."

"My Sang family just happened to have a second-level dragon species that has recovered. If you have nothing to do, you can go over to help calm the situation."

Niu Xinjing was overjoyed and said in a voice transmission: "Don't worry, the spirit beasts and dragon species you sent, and all the expenses during the period of guarding, I will cover them."

After getting the confirmation of the two, he turned and looked at Zhao Xuan: "Brother Dao, I agree to your conditions."

Zhao Xuan smiled and said: "In this case, let's sign the law contract first."

Soon, four copies of the law contract were drafted.

The two sides exchanged and checked, and after confirming that they were correct, they signed and sealed with their blood essence.

With the flash of spiritual light, the law contract took effect instantly, and both sides showed satisfied smiles.

"The law contract has been signed, and we will not disturb Brother Dao to rest." The three stood up and said goodbye.

Zhao Xuan sent them all the way to the door of the cave.

Li Qing, Sang Yuwan, and Niu Xinjing strolled in Kunpeng Blessed Land

Li Qing was thoughtful: "It seems that Brother Zhao originally wanted to get rid of the burden, otherwise he would not agree so readily."

Sang Yuwan smiled and said: "In troubled times, all parties are shrinking. Only we have just reached this level, and only by expanding can we lay the foundation."

Niu Xinjing sighed: "That's good. If the situation had not been turbulent, we would have to fight with a group of old forces to expand outward."

In addition, there are wins and losses in fighting, and if you are not careful, there is a risk of death.

The three of them walked and talked, and before they knew it, they arrived at the land where the Jiazi Minglong wood was planted.

At this time, twelve years have passed since Li Qing used the "Spring Flowers and Autumn Fruits" blessed land magic to plant the Minglong wood seeds.

This third-level spiritual wood has also reached the time to mature.

Perhaps due to the influence of the blessed land, this Minglong wood is slightly different from the records.

The tree is three meters tall, with a trunk so thick that it takes two people to hug it. The bark is dark green and has many wrinkles, like dragon scales, arranged layer by layer.

The branches branching out from the trunk are relatively light in color, without scaly bark, and have palm-sized leaves growing sparsely and orderly.

Affected by "Spring Flowers and Autumn Fruits", this Jiazi Minglong Wood has passed its flowering period, and even the fruits are full of branches, totaling sixty.

The fruit of Minglong Wood is about the size of a fist, egg-shaped, and has faint marks like dragon horns on it.

The whole tree exudes a strong dragon aura, especially in the middle of the fruit, the dragon aura is particularly pure, no wonder it can help cultivate third-level dragon seeds.

Li Qing asked Sang Yuwan: "Brother, this Jiazi Minglong wood will probably mature at the autumnal equinox this year. I wonder what to do with it then?"

Sang Yuwan pondered for a moment: "I was in a hurry to cut down trees before, in order to cultivate third-level dragon seeds. Now I have the old wood you gave me, which is enough for the time being. Why not plant it here first?"

Li Qing would naturally not refuse: "This tree will stay in my blessed land, which will also help to gather spiritual energy and purify spiritual energy. Of course, I am happy to do so."

Sang Yuwan said again: "I will only take half of this batch of fruits, and the remaining half will be left to you."

Li Qing raised his hand and touched the Minglong fruit hanging on the treetop: "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse it."

Sang Yuwan smiled and looked at Niu Xinjing again: "If you need it, fellow Taoist, you can also tell me. I can't use so much for the time being."

Li Qing also echoed.

Niu Xinjing smiled and shook his head: "No need, I haven't studied this fruit. I don't know where to start. It would be a waste to take it."

Sang Yuwan didn't force it, and just repeated his previous promise: "When I cultivate a third-level dragon species, I will give some to you two..."

Niu Xinjing was happy: "Then I will wait for the good news."

*

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Xuan, under the guidance of Li Qing, came to a specially vacant spiritual field and prepared to plant spiritual plants.

With his permission, Sang Yuwan and Niu Xinjing also came to observe.

After Li Qing was ready, Zhao Xuan took out a reddish-brown seed: "In that case, I'll leave it to fellow Taoist."

Li Qing took it and sensed it with his spiritual consciousness: "Hey! It's actually a magnolia seed?"

Zhao Xuan nodded: "Well, this is Red Flame Mulan, a third-level high-grade spiritual plant."

According to him, the red flame magnolia needs to be at the intersection of six kinds of spiritual fires to sprout, and it must be a natural place without any trace of artificial intervention.

Spiritual fire is inherently rare, and whenever it appears in this world, it will be collected for personal use early, let alone the intersection of six kinds of spiritual fire.

Zhao Xuan said: "When I got this seed, I also picked up six pieces of third-level fire jade. I think its original owner wanted to simulate the wild environment and domesticate and cultivate this seed."

It's just that the nature of spiritual growth is generally difficult to reverse, so this experiment has never been successful. Later, the seed and six pieces of fire jade came into his hands.

Li Qing activated the sand table in the Kunpeng Blessed Land and used the power of the Blessed Land to bless the seeds. He evaluated for a long time: "Well, the spirit of this seed is still there and its vitality is not lost. It should be able to be planted."

Zhao Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is really great. Please help me, fellow Taoist. If this red flame magnolia plant survives, I will be very grateful!"

Li Qing smiled and stretched out his hand towards him: "Brother Taoist, please give me those six pieces of fire jade. My Li family's background is shallow, but I can't afford such a treasure."

The blessed land's magical power "Spring Flowers and Autumn Fruits" only lowers the threshold for cultivating spiritual seeds and simplifies or even offsets some conditions related to the season and environment.

But the inspiration required to cultivate spiritual seeds is still indispensable. It is basically impossible to grow this red flame magnolia without six different spiritual fires.

Zhao Xuan knew this very well and was not a petty person, so he handed over the six fire jade.

Li Qing took it and blessed it with the power of blessed land. He carefully screened it for a long time before giving him a piece of fire jade.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

"This one's spiritual fire is closer to the underworld fire, and the whole thing is a bit uncoordinated. It's best to change it."

Zhao Xuan looked bitter: "What should I do? The two kinds of spiritual fire I know are already in these five fire jade."

Li Qing smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I have another kind of spiritual fire, which has the true meaning of nirvana and rebirth, and it is quite suitable for this red flame magnolia."

Zhao Xuan paused and said with a smile: "In that case, one thing is worth nothing. Please ask fellow Taoists to help complete this sixth kind of spiritual fire."

"In the future, when this red flame magnolia blooms, I will give you half of the first petals, and I will never break my promise."

Li Qing smiled and said: "Brother Dao, am I just coveting the benefits you promised?"

Zhao Xuan laughed: "I made a mistake. But since I have troubled fellow Taoist, I deserve some bonuses."

Li Qing didn't wait too long. After getting ready together, he decisively put the red flame magnolia spiritual seed into the spiritual field.

The flat field suddenly split open, swallowing up the spiritual seeds.

At the same time, five fire jade pieces and small balls made by Li Qing using Nirvana fire were put into it.

With a muffled sound of "boom", the cracked land closed again.

With a solemn expression, Li Qing activated the sand table of the blessed land, using it to gather the power of the blessed land. Following the pre-drawn pattern, he began to activate the "Spring Flowers and Autumn Fruits" to help the tree species germinate.

Then I saw the Qinglian Qingyun hovering over Kunpeng blessed land, rushing towards this side like a market, forming a very regular spiral shape.

In the center of the spiral, a cyan light beam the size of a castanopsis suddenly fell down, right at the spot where the seed had just been planted.

"Rumble..."

The blessed land shook with a deafening roar.

Clan members from all over the Li family were alarmed and came out to investigate.

Seeing Li Qing, Sang Yuwan and other three immortals planting spiritual plants together, they were very eye-catching and did not join in the fun.

"Pattering..."

Raindrops fell from the clouds in Qingyun, and when blown by the wind, they happened to fall on the soil.

Amidst everyone's expectations, a small tip suddenly poked out from the place where the Red Flame Mulan Spirit Seed was buried.

Soon, the tip came out of the ground. It turned out to be a bud emerging from the ground between two cotyledons.

The cotyledons are rich red, with a crystal-clear texture, like jade, and a faint sheen.

The buds sandwiched in the middle show a flame-like color, bright in the middle and red on the outside, swaying in the breeze, like flames flickering.

"Really... it has sprouted?" Zhao Xuanyou was a little in disbelief, "Fellow Taoist, this blessed land's magical power is really amazing!"

Li Qing looked up at the Qingyun in the sky and found that it had once again reduced by one-third, and each one was much dimmer.

This is the price paid for the blessed land's magical power of "Spring Flowers and Autumn Fruits".

This auspicious cloud of blue lotus represents the destiny of Kunpeng blessed land, which is mysterious and unpredictable, but is reflected by this auspicious cloud.

Seeing that the red flame magnolia sprouted successfully, Li Qing quickly pinched his fingers and chanted a spell, and at the same time stopped driving the blessed land sand table, stopping the magical power of this blessed land.

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!" He wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Xuan waited for him to rest for a while before asking, "Based on your perception, I wonder how long it will take for this red-flame magnolia to bloom?"

Li Qing thought for a moment: "Well, it will be about twelve years. You can come and pick the red-flame magnolia flowers by then. During this period, you can come and visit whenever you are free."

Zhao Xuan waved his hand: "I am busy with the affairs of Changyan Immortal City, and I don't have so much time to come. Since I have entrusted it to you, I naturally trust you very much. I will come back to harvest it in twelve years."

Li Qing did not refuse: "Brother Dao, don't worry, I will do my best to cultivate this red-flame magnolia."

The two of them settled the matter in a few words, and the planting of red-flame magnolia came to an end.

Because Changyan Immortal City still had many miscellaneous things to do, Zhao Xuan did not stay in Kunpeng Blessed Land, and drove the red long rainbow back.

Sang Yuwan smiled and said, "This fellow Taoist is really in a hurry. He can't afford to waste even a moment."

Niu Xinjing shook his head: "The fairy city is not like a family or a sect. The situation is complicated and there are many obstacles from all sides. It is possible to cause a big mess at any time. How can we leave people for a long time?"

Li Qing suddenly remembered Liu Haofeng, the lord of Hengyun Fairy City in Dale Country, who had not left for thirty years because of his duty to guard the city.

"Alas, the lord of the fairy city is powerful, but he can't help himself. It's a double-edged sword."

The three of them didn't talk about Zhao Xuan anymore. They squatted on the ground together and scanned the soil with their spiritual consciousness.

At this time, the five small balls formed by the fire jade and the Nirvana fire were surrounding the sprouted seeds in the middle according to the angle of the hexagram.

With every flicker of the fire jade, a pure spiritual fire flowed into the spiritual seeds of the red flame magnolia along with its hungry roots.

Then, the whole red-flame magnolia seedling suddenly emitted a faint red light, as if it was breathing, and moved slowly.

"This seedling seems to be more active than the previous Jiazi Minglongmu." Sang Yuwan quickly judged.

Li Qing smiled: "Daoyou Zhao Xuan may be hiding something. These six fire jades definitely have other uses, most likely to maintain the vitality of the red-flame magnolia spirit seed."

"But this has nothing to do with me. When I grow this red-flame magnolia, I can use it to refine a few furnaces of third-level elixirs. In this way, I can advance to a third-level alchemist soon." (End of this chapter)
