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

Li Qing looked at the cat-headed boy who bowed down, pondered for a while, and finally sighed: "Forget it, Taoist friend, please get up."

"I still don't know how to help your clan out of trouble. If you can do it, it wouldn't hurt for me to help."

The cat-headed boy stood up and pointed at the wooden palaces in the middle of the city: "Follow me, fellow Taoist."

Li Qing followed slowly and found that the cat-headed people's settlement area on the periphery was separated from the palace area by a hidden magic circle.

The magic circle was dormant at first, but when it sensed someone approaching, it immediately emitted an unpredictable aura, making people afraid to approach.

The cat-headed boy pointed ahead and said, "Let fellow Taoists know that this entire secret realm once belonged to a large sect that practiced the way of earthly immortals."

"My cat-headed people are servants of a powerful master in this sect, and the spirit cat is his pet. This city is his palace."

"A long time ago, the heir of this sect disappeared overnight, and that great man also disappeared. Only our clan was left here to reproduce and thrive."

"But we can only live in the outer area. Only the sect's disciples have the right to enter the palaces in the middle."

Li Qing frowned slightly: "Such a long time has passed, has no one of your ancestors gone in to investigate the situation?"

The cat-headed boy shook his head: "The city is protected by a magic array. Without permission, at least a third-level cultivator like me cannot break through."

Li Qing was surprised: "After so many years, this formation is still so strong?"

The other party smiled bitterly and shook his head: "As long as there is a little hope, how can our clan not try their best?! The same is true for the surviving clans in other secret realms..."

Li Qing nodded slightly and held up his jade token: "How do I use this? Cast a spell to activate it?"

The cat-headed boy shook his head: "As long as you have obtained the identity token through legitimate channels, you can have unimpeded access with it."

Li Qing thought for a moment, while focusing his mind on the "Gate of Tianwei" to be prepared for any eventuality, he took a step forward holding the jade tablet.

"Buzzing..."

The magic circle was activated and resonated with the surrounding spiritual energy. Suddenly, a wave of spiritual energy swept through Li Qing's body.

In the Dantian, several blessed land sand tables trembled slightly, and the identity jade card in the palm also floated spontaneously.

A lofty aura shone down from the orb on the high tower in the inner city, giving Li Qing a familiar feeling.

He no longer hesitated and walked into the inner city area in three or two steps.

He looked around and found that all the wooden palaces had their doors closed. After thinking for a while, he chose the nearest one and walked forward.

"Rumble..."

The heavy palace door was pushed open, Li Qing walked in slowly, and was surprised to find that the palace was unusually clean.

Apart from the palace itself, not even a roadside tree, a cushion, or a scripture was left behind.

The entire palace was empty, as if everything that could be taken away had been taken away by its owner.

Li Qing frowned and quickly searched the palace. When he found nothing, he moved on to the next one.

However, what shocked him was that almost all the palaces had been emptied out, leaving nothing behind for future generations to admire.

"Hiss!" Li Qing took a breath of cold air, "Even the Lingtao Secret Realm shouldn't be so empty..."

After some investigation, Li Qing was filled with doubts: "What on earth happened in this palace?"

He finally arrived at the tall tower in the middle. Just as he was about to push the door, it creaked and opened by itself.

Li Qing's heart trembled, and he almost activated the "Gate of Heaven" to travel to the elf world.

Fortunately, there was no other movement in the tower, and his spiritual sense did not give any feedback of danger, but he sensed a certain opportunity. Li Qing hesitated for a moment, but still walked in. When he saw the scene inside, he was shocked.

In the middle, there was a Taoist sitting cross-legged, looking towards Li Qing with sharp eyes.

The Taoist is dressed in a bright yellow robe, holding a whisk in his left hand and a treasure mirror in his right hand. There are three circular lights behind his head, emitting an extremely profound artistic conception.

Behind the Taoist, there is an entire wall with the word "Earth" written in heaven in the middle. Below are undulating mountains and winding rivers, creating a majestic artistic conception.

Above the Taoist's head, all the tower floors were in the shape of a corridor, with a skylight in the middle leading directly to the top.

At this moment, a bright ray of sunlight was shining down from the sky and sprinkling on the Taoist, making him look even more extraordinary.

Li Qing was startled at first, then he greeted respectfully: "Junior Li Qing, nice to meet you, senior."

The Taoist remained silent.

Li Qing became suspicious and walked forward slowly, but the Taoist did not react.

He took a step, then stopped and looked around, until he reached the Taoist priest, who still did not speak.

He squatted down and looked at the Taoist at eye level, only to find that although the other person had a powerful aura, he was lifeless. He did not look like a living person, but more like a remains.

"Senior?" Li Qing called out tentatively.

There was still no response from the other party.

But Li Qing did not dare to be presumptuous. After all, the aura of the other party was too shocking.

What Li Qing has seen in these years is not even comparable to that of Master Chumu, and only Taoist Master Chixiao can be compared to him.

Li Qing looked him up and down and found that the Taoist's hand holding the whisk had its index finger pointing at another cushion in front of him.

He suddenly felt inspired and imitated the Taoist priest, sitting cross-legged on the cushion and sitting opposite the other person.

In an instant, the identity jade card in his hand shone brightly, and the blessed land sand table in his dantian also trembled, just like when he entered the inner city.

"Hey, there really is someone destined to be with me?" The Taoist seemed to have woken up, looking at Li Qing in surprise, with a little more life in his body.

Li Qing was nervous: "Junior Li Qing, I am here to greet you, Senior. I wonder…"

The Taoist ignored him and just kept talking to himself: "Master said that five thousand years later, there will be a destined person who will inherit my Taoist tradition and save this world. I didn't expect it to be true."

He was silent for a moment, then looked at Li Qing. A powerful divine sense swept through Li Qing's body, revealing all the secrets except for the "Gate of Tianwei".

"Tsk, the inheritance of Venerable Yuanyang, the method of my earthly immortal lineage, the method of visualization, and this strange and unorthodox method with some traces of witchcraft..."

He glared at Li Qing and said, "Boy, you are learning a lot of different things!"

Seeing that he didn't respond to his words, Li Qing had no choice but to follow his lead and talk: "Senior, I have no choice but to do this. Without a complete and orthodox inheritance, I can only learn here and there..."

What I mean is, if you can give me the complete method, I can also eliminate the dross and integrate all these miscellaneous things.

The Taoist still ignored him and just raised his hand to throw the treasure mirror to Li Qing: "Accept my magic treasure and take care of my servant. Otherwise, you will be punished by heaven. Will you answer me?"

When Li Qing heard the word "Lingbao", his original plan to bargain indirectly disappeared immediately.

"Senior, you have a good eye for talent! I will live up to your trust and do my best to help the cat-headed people and civet cats escape from their predicament."
