The immortals of the two worlds started from farming and refining pills.

Chapter 331: Magic Knife Talisman, Crystal Palace (4K)

Li Qing flicked his fingers towards the green lotus in the quiet room, and a huge fish suddenly appeared from the depths of his spiritual vein.

It emerged from the spiritual spring, surrounded by nine-tailed black and yellow spiritual fish, with a leisurely and comfortable posture.

Li Qing's mind moved, and the big fish sensed it. It opened its mouth and spurted out a ray of light, illuminating the magic knife.

All of a sudden, the power of the entire Qinghe Valley's immortal world was mobilized by the big fish and suppressed on the magic knife.

Only then did Li Qing separate a wisp of his spiritual consciousness and slowly approached one of the talismans.

Unexpectedly, although the aura contained in this talisman was extremely ferocious, it was kept hidden and not revealed.

The spiritual consciousness passed by, and it was like touching a mirror flower in the water, and it passed through directly.

He then sensed the other two symbols and got the same reaction, as if they were just some kind of bluffing symbols.

Li Qing used true essence, witchcraft power, sweet rain, and nirvana fire to verify the usefulness of the three talismans.

Taking into account that the magic sword was in the hands of the magic cultivator and would emit magic fire, he also used the Nirvana Fire to control the Fire Spirit Pearl and burned it red.

This time, the three talismans did not react, but a wisp of dark demonic fire rose from the blade.

Li Qing tried to comprehend it, but even with the protection of Taihao Palace, he still felt many hallucinations and his true energy almost went out of control and burned itself.

"Forget it, we have different ideals and cannot work together!" Li Qing quickly drove the rain to put out the evil fire and continued to focus on the talisman on the blade.

He frowned and pondered for a moment, then flew Taihao Palace out of the spirit platform, drawing the merit light from it to fall onto the magic sword.

This time, it was like boiling oil splashing into water, and the pot exploded.

The first symbol on the magic knife lit up slightly, and a pale halo rose up, competing with the golden light of merit.

"Boom..." Li Qing vaguely sensed a terrifying roar.

He was in a trance, and saw a cultivator wearing an evil robe and a nine-colored ghost mask on his face, who was obviously a demon, standing tall above the sky.

He held the magic knife in his hand and swung it lightly towards himself. In an instant, a powerful mood of destroying everything, slaying gods and demons surged into Li Qing's heart.

"Ding--"

Taihao Palace glowed with a faint sapphire light, isolating the blade's intent.

Li Qing shook his head, his eyes clear, and he was actually not affected by the knife light.

"There is indeed a secret!" He was slightly delighted, and used the golden light of merit to stimulate the other two talismans.

Afterwards, a blood-red sword light, carrying the true meaning of the suffering of all living things and the wailing of all things, and a gray sword light, containing the true meaning of the end of the law and the five declines of heaven and man, were stimulated from the talisman.

However, when the spiritual consciousness attacks, after being filtered by the Taihao Palace, which is equivalent to the Jindan level when guarding the spiritual platform, no matter how exquisite the artistic conception is, if it wants to hurt people, it can only rely on the true essence and spiritual energy.

Unfortunately, the magic sword has lost its owner.

Without the support of true essence to draw on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it would be like a tree without roots or water without a source.

It looks intimidating, but it actually does no harm.

Unfortunately, the knife light reflected by the talisman could not do anything to Li Qing; but it was also difficult for Li Qing to comprehend the mystery of it and make use of it, so he could only sigh in despair.

"This magic sword is definitely not simple!" Li Qing asserted firmly, holding the hilt of the sword, and then flicked his finger on the blade.

"Boom——" The sound was dull and long, echoing in the quiet room.

He took out a piece of hard golden stone, held the magic knife in his hand and swung it lightly.

Then the golden stone split into two halves, with a smooth and bright cross-section, as if it had always been like that.

Thinking about how he had used the Heaven-Flipping Seal to block the devil's sword when fighting against the devil cultivator, he secretly rejoiced and also had more confidence in the quality of the Xuanhuang Spirit Fish.

"Forget it. It seems that the secret of this magic sword cannot be discovered for a while."

Li Qing shook his head and placed the magic knife on the green lotus. He suppressed it with the Earthly Immortal Realm and drove the big fish to pull the spiritual vein and slowly refine it.

The green lotus, whose origin was equally mysterious, swayed slightly, drawing in the spiritual energy of the initial separation of chaos from the turbulence of the void, accelerating the process.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, took out the three storage bags of the demon cultivator, and began to count them one by one.

Pure spiritual stones and various unprocessed spiritual materials were sorted and organized into categories for future use.

A copy of the simple manual of martial arts was made, and after the devilish methods were eliminated, it was sent to the family scripture library.

Li Qing checked the elixirs stored in various containers, but he didn't find any above the third level, so he kept none.

Using the green lotus as a medium, he threw it directly into the turbulence of the void.

Immediately, a sharp scream came from the void.

With the help of Qinglian, Li Qing observed the fleeting tiny insects.

He suddenly realized, "So there's a poison in it. No wonder I couldn't find anything wrong when I used the medicine identification technique."

Li Qing checked all the remaining protective treasures such as talismans, magic weapons, and heavenly thunder seeds.

This demon cultivator who came from nowhere seemed to be quite good at fighting and winning.

Therefore, there are a large number of spiritual weapons and magic weapons in the storage bag, including several mid-grade spiritual weapons that are rare even for ordinary foundation-building cultivators.

Li Qing took a quick look and found that most of the spiritual weapons were water-attributed.

This demon cultivator who practiced magic fire seemed to be quite hostile to water cultivators. He obtained the most spoils, which now belonged to Li Qing.

The best quality items are a wood-attributed green jade necklace, a fire-attributed multicolored feather fan, a water-attributed blue jade pendant, and a water-attributed black jade hairpin.

They are all rare treasures among the mid-grade spiritual weapons.

Li Qing gave the necklace and feather fan to Asun and Acao who were guarding Qinghe Valley respectively.

He went to the elf world again and gave the jade pendant and hairpin to Chaoyin and Xiaolian respectively.

The four little guys were very happy to receive the gifts. With their thoughts clear, they were all promoted to a small realm.

Li Qing couldn't help but blush: "The elves really deserve the title of the darlings of heaven and earth."

Considering that Qi-cultivating monks cannot use ordinary spiritual weapons, Li Qing collected the remaining low-grade spiritual weapons and used them as rewards in the future.

He also took out a few high-quality magical instruments and gave them to Xiaoyang and Xiaohong, and also rewarded a few of his free-range disciples.

As the great-niece, Li Wei of course also had a share.

When Li Wei came over to receive the magic weapon, Li Qing was surprised to find that her realm had advanced from the sixth level of Qi training to the seventh level.

The Nine-Mysterious Elf Bug also evolved into a colorful cicada, which was lying on Li Wei's ear, making a sound that was not noisy but rather pleasant to the ear.

Li Qing's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked them up and down. "You actually broke through on your own without the help of the Heavenly Stone? I really thought it was worth it."

Li Wei smiled and raised her finger to tease Jiu Xuan: "It's all thanks to Jiu Xuan. It broke through in my Dantian, so I got some credit."

Li Qing said with a smile: "When we cultivate our lives together, we promote each other, so how can we take advantage of others?"

He gave the first-grade superior robes he had prepared to Li Wei, and also gave Jiuxuan an additional precious magic weapon.

"I think its meridians have not been opened yet. Remember to take it to find Asun and learn well. Don't try to work on your own." "I understand." Li Wei nodded seriously.

Li Qing gave her another jade token and said, "Go find Li Wei and exchange it for a visualization jade slip. This is the rule we set back then."

"You are of the right age, and you have not used any unorthodox methods to advance to the seventh level of Qi training. According to the agreement, you can obtain a visualization map."

Although Li Wei had been prepared, she was still overjoyed: "Thank you, uncle! I will practice hard and never embarrass you."

Li Qing smiled and said, "Just take care of yourself. By the way, I will allocate that sacred peak directly to you, and give you the title of deacon."

"In the future, the planting of the Nine Mysterious Fruit Trees will be handed over to you. You will take advantage of this opportunity to join the management team and work hard slowly..."

According to the rules of the Li family, to be a senior member of the family, one must be in the late stage of Qi training, and to be promoted to an elder, one must be in the ninth level of Qi training.

As the first disciple of Li Qing's direct line to enter the late stage of Qi training, Li Wei will also represent Li Qing and extend the tentacles of controlling the family to a deeper level.

Li Wei took the order and left.

After Li Qing rested in Qinghe Valley for a few days, he took Asun with him and went to Yanglong Lake.

Because Sang Yuwan was determined to reach the Jindan realm, he also invited many fellow Taoists to attend the ceremony. Suddenly, Yanglong Lake was crowded with distinguished guests.

When Li Qing came to the house, Sang Yuwan was not in a position to go out to greet him, so he sent Ao Lan to wait outside early.

Perhaps driven by the master's improved cultivation, Ao Lan's little claws grew a little bigger and were now able to match the huge dragon body.

Its aura also rose from the early second stage when it was first met to the middle second stage, which is equivalent to the middle stage of foundation building.

"Fellow Daoist Li, please!"

When he saw Li Qing, Ao Lan bowed respectfully and invited him to ride in on his dragon.

This is the highest courtesy given by Yanglonghu after Sang Yuwan returned and many distinguished guests visited the hotel.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ao Lan!" Li Qing bowed to express his gratitude, floated above Ao Lan's head, grabbed a strand of dragon mane, and signaled it to take off.

"Roar--"

Ao Lan raised his head and let out a dragon's roar, then he controlled the clouds and mist formed by the dragon's energy and flew towards the depths of Yanglong Lake.

When passing by a harbor, Li Qing saw a red carp dragon with deer antlers on its head and a body like a loach.

It was the red-horned dragon loach Ao Qiu that Li Qing witnessed transforming from a carp into a dragon. The aura around him was already close to the foundation-building level.

Beside it, there were dozens of its kind that were several sizes smaller and whose antlers had not yet branched.

"Roar~" Ao Qiu looked up and greeted this side.

Li Qing waved at it, but Ao Lan ignored it.

Li Qing asked curiously, "I see that this Daoist Fellow Ao Qiu is about to enter the second stage, and there is still a smell of mana on him. Could it be that he is following the orthodox path of cultivation?"

Ao Lan snorted disdainfully: "It is just that it is so aloof, it looks down on others of its kind who practice dual cultivation with the master, and only cares about its own cultivation. It doesn't even consider who gave it the resources for its cultivation!"

The dragons of Yanglong Lake have always been cultivating together with their masters, either through pure dragon blood transformation or by taming beasts.

There are very few people like Asun and his friends who choose to pursue the path of cultivating immortals.

Li Qing showed a surprised look on his face: "I heard from my tribesmen that it had formed a spiritual contract with a fellow Taoist named Sang Qiongying in the Qingxia Secret Realm, didn't it?"

Ao Lan blew a breath, causing the dragon's whiskers to swing up and down: "Humph! That little girl also spoils it."

"Because the difference between their cultivation levels is quite large, she cancelled the spiritual contract on purpose in order not to affect his cultivation."

Li Qing did not comment: After all, cultivation is a very personal matter. Ao Lan is a beastmaster himself, and he can't stand Ao Qiu who wants to cultivate alone.

But the long journey of immortality is a matter of personal experience. Since the dragon seed and the contract master have reached a consensus, there is no need for others to make too many comments.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm about to enter the lake, don't panic." Ao Lan reminded.

Soon, Ao Lan carried Li Qing, flew over several islands in the middle of the lake, came to a calm lake, and then dived into the lake.

Li Qing, who got the hint, did not use the Water-Repelling Technique and just let it carry him into the lake.

After a slight dizziness, the next moment, Li Qing appeared in front of a crystal palace.

The palace was surrounded by a barrier to keep the lake water out. Outside the barrier, various spirit fish and dragon species were leisurely patrolling.

Li Qing looked up and saw that there was no plaque on the palace, nor were there any accessories such as couplets on the left and right to highlight the layout.

Sang Yuwan was at the gate, welcoming Li Qing: "Fellow Daoist is finally here!"

Li Qing smiled and said, "Something delayed me. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long, brother."

He looked around and said, "Hey, it turns out that Brother Niu is not here either. I got here earlier than him."

Sang Yuwan sent out a communication talisman: "He sent a letter a long time ago. It will take some time to adjust the layout of Xinglin."

Li Qing smiled cheerfully: "Brother, have you ever seen his third-level spiritual apricot tree? I think we will have a treat in the future."

The two walked and talked as they entered the crystal palace.

Ao Lan also shrank his body and followed Sang Yuwan happily.

Li Qing leisurely visited: "I think this Crystal Palace is quite extraordinary, with some of the atmosphere of Canglang Water Palace. Why have I never heard Brother Dao mention it before?"

Sang Yuwan shook her head: "This is my first time here too. It appeared on its own after I returned to Yanglong Lake and showed signs of being about to form a pill."

The two came to the main hall of the Crystal Palace, where stood six three-meter-high and three-foot-thick glazed pillars.

Each pillar was glowing with a soft light, faintly corresponding to the true energy in Sang Yuwan's body.

In the center is a throne carved from gold-thread jade.

Sang Yuwan pointed at the throne and said, "When I first came in, there was a jade box on it, which contained the subsequent chapters of my practice."

“It is from this point that I realized that this might be the orthodox inheritance left by the Yuanying Zhenjun who once raised a dragon here.”

Li Qing was slightly surprised: "Brother Dao, why did you tell me such a secret?"

Sang Yuwan laughed out loud: "We have been to Canglang Water Palace together and met the Water Lord. We have also worshipped the same stone tablet in the Huangsha Secret Realm. We can be considered as half-fellow disciples."

He paused, then said somewhat dejectedly: "I won't hide it from you, fellow Taoist. Along the way, I don't know how many fellow Taoists have passed away, and how many have become strangers."

"On the contrary, you and Fellow Daoist Niu, although you met late, you hit it off right away. As the saying goes, gray hair is as fresh as new, and old friends are as close as ever. Perhaps this is the reason."

Li Qing could not help but remain silent: along the way, he has found that most of his fellow Taoists who were in the Qi training stage are now out of contact.

The path of spiritual practice may be a lonely and selfish thing.

The two looked at each other speechlessly.

After a long while, Sang Yuwan finally laughed and pointed to a glass pillar next to him and said, "I was so busy reminiscing about the past that I forgot about the important things."

"This glazed pillar contains an opportunity left by the Yuanying Zhenjun. Why don't you try your luck?"
