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

Chapter 388 Five Colors and Five Flavors, It’s Fate (First Update)
Faintly, the opportunity to step into level five has emerged.

Li Qing didn't have time to think about it. He hesitated for a moment between the Mushu Council and the Qinghe Valley, but ultimately chose neither.

The former was abandoned because they were not trustworthy. Who knew if there were backstabbers in the Mushu Council? They were also afraid that the radicals would get wind of the news and start a war.

The reason for not returning to Qinghe Valley is that this breakthrough opportunity came from the elf world and was fed back by the world's will.

If I leave rashly, the world's favor will be gone and I'm afraid I'll be stuck halfway.

The next moment, Li Qing activated the witch core and came to an underwater cave amid the puzzled gazes of everyone.

This is the place where Li Qing built his foundation and learned the meditation method.

The big crab was lazily guarding the entrance of the cave, eating eels that it had caught from somewhere bit by bit. When it suddenly saw Li Qing coming, it almost dropped its jaw in surprise.

In the cave, various grass carpets as soft as silk wool grow wildly, emitting a faint fluorescence, illuminating the entire cave with a bizarre light.

Only the meadow where Li Qing had sat cross-legged before remained the same as when he left last time.

But Li Qing discovered that Caoyuan's originally weak spiritual light was gradually becoming wiser, and he already had a vague sense of likes and dislikes.

Sensing Li Qing's arrival, it seemed very happy, and even the already soft grass became smoother.

"Long time no see. It seems you have taken good care of the cave." Li Qing smiled and knocked on the crab's hard carapace.

The big crab waved its big claws as if showing off.

Li Qing smiled and took out a second-level body-building pill: "Here, this is a gift for you."

The big crab had eaten the first-level ones before, and knew it was a better treasure as soon as it smelled it. It used its crab legs to support its body and kneeled down to Li Qing before taking it with its claws.

Li Qing ordered it to continue guarding the cave entrance so that this stubborn guy would not disturb him. Then he walked to the meadow and sat upright.

With a thought, he completely released the temporary suppression of his own cultivation.

In the Dantian, the big tree finally turned into a tall tree man, and organs such as eyes, ears, mouth, nose, tongue, and body had already taken shape.

His eyes were slightly opened, bright and deep, and he was observing the world through "seeing" rather than through spiritual consciousness/mental perception.

In the eyes of the tree man, the green wood essence merged into a vast green ocean, and the foundation of the Tao in the center was dark green to black.

On the foundation of the Dao, several blessed land sand tables flickered slightly, with different colors according to the properties of their spiritual veins.

Different spiritual tools, such as the Three Treasures Wonderful Tree, the Elf Nuo Mask, the Heaven-Flipping Seal, the Five-Rank Spirit Platform, and the Fire Spirit Pearl, all have their own unique colors.

This is the image of Li Qing's meditation, which opens his "eyes" and gives him the sense of "color".

However, this unprecedented intuitive feeling on the spiritual level made Li Qing's senses somewhat confused, making him almost unable to see.

This is what is meant by the five colors making people blind.

Fortunately, Li Qing is not just a wizard.

As his mind moved, the Taihao Palace in his spiritual altar flickered with a faint cyan-gold light, calming his mind and alleviating the symptoms of sensory disorder.

Li Qing successfully mastered the first of the five senses required to break through the fifth level of the tree shepherd's meditation method: vision.

Faintly, his ears, or rather the tree man's ears, moved slightly, but he did not hear any movement.

The sense of hearing has not been activated.

Li Qing quickly switched to the next sense and continued his sprint for a breakthrough.

He tried to move the tree man's hands and feet, but he was unable to move. Even if he circulated the Qingmu True Essence to wash it over, he did not feel any real "touch" of it.

The sense of touch has not been activated.

He continued to blow his nose, hoping to sense the fragrance or stench nearby, but to no avail. His sense of smell was not triggered either.

His expression became somewhat solemn, because out of his eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body, only the last sense of taste remained.

He took out a pill prepared for Asun and the others, held it in his mouth, but did not absorb and refine it. Instead, he immersed his entire body and mind in the image of the tree man.

Faintly, a hint of sourness and light sweetness seemed to spread among the taste buds. It was very subtle, but Li Qing successfully captured it.

He was delighted, and suddenly felt the sweet and sour taste become stronger. He thought that the tree man's sense of taste was becoming more sensitive.

However, the inspiration for a breakthrough became further away from him, which shocked him, and he realized that the taste came from his own tongue.

He quickly refreshed his mind and continued to immerse himself in the experience of the tree man image, only then did he experience that light sour and sweet taste again.

As the pill dissolved in Li Qing's mouth, the medicinal properties within it were released, and a bitter taste also dispelled the sour and sweet taste.

But the strange thing is that when the bitterness falls into the perception of the tree man image, it is not bitter, but a refreshing taste.

Li Qing was stunned at first, then he understood: "This is probably the five flavors that make the mouth refreshing!"

He suddenly had an epiphany and found that his meditation images became extremely vivid.

"I thought that Qingmu Yanming Zhenjie's progress in cultivation was far beyond expectations. The one who broke through the third level first should be an immortal."

"I didn't expect that this meditation method, benefiting from the favor of the world's will, would break through so unreasonably."

He felt neither happy nor sad, and quietly examined the results of his own practice. He felt that this time a breakthrough was within his grasp.

At this point, he no longer hesitated, closed all five of his senses, and immersed himself in the image of the tree man.

In the Dantian, the "Gate of Tianwei" trembled slightly, and all the information about Li Qing was hidden, as if he had never existed.

The tree man transformed by the meditation method suddenly raised his feet, and with the sound of "thump thump thump" like a giant emerging from water, he stepped onto Li Qing's Taoist platform.

He came to the place where the little spiritual figure used to sit, pushed the sand table of the blessed land to both sides, and then sat upright.

At that time, Li Qing's body emanated a turquoise green light, illuminating the entire cave with clarity.

He no longer hesitated and practiced the new meditation method which was composed of the Tree Shepherd Meditation and the Moonlight Deer Meditation as the dual main body, and other meditation methods as supplements.

"Crack, click, click..."

The rough bark of the tree man began to crack a little bit, with a faint blue-silver halo flickering in it.

The vast ocean transformed by Qingmu Zhenyuan was also transformed into pure fourth-level magic power, with waves constantly surging.

When the tree man image saw that the time was ripe, it immediately opened its mouth and sucked in all the magic power into its stomach.

Soon, the Dantian dried up, the Taoist foundation became dim, the blessed land sand table lost its halo, and the spiritual weapons seemed to wilt.

But Li Qing didn't care about these things anymore, because the tree man image was almost broken by the magic power.

He hurriedly followed the instructions of the Moonlight Deer Meditation Method, using his magic power to continuously flush the meditation imagery from within, making it more vivid.

Finally, the tree man seemed to have removed some shackles that were imposed on him and became relaxed and comfortable.

He raised his head slightly, and looked through his own body toward the infinitely high sky of the elven world.

There, the endless favor of the world poured towards him like a waterfall.

"So that's it!" He thought to himself, "It's fate!"
