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

After receiving the rare treasure of sand and gravel from the frog-headed people and activating the spiritual treasure "Spirit Sealing Mirror", Li Qing, taking Mao Shou, embarked on a journey to find the ancient ruins.

Perhaps those demon cultivators were not destined to die, as Li Qing had never come into contact with them along the way.

In this way, after several detours, Li Qing finally arrived at the ancestral land of the human-faced snake lineage as Mao Shou said.

From a distance, Li Qing saw an altar with a emerald green prism on it, which seemed to be a set with the ochre-colored gemstone of Cat City.

"Daoyou Mao Shou, your judgment should be correct. There are indeed relics left by our ancestors here."

It’s a pity that ancient buildings as magnificent as that of Cat City have not been preserved to this day.

Outside the altar, there was already a ruin.

Some unintelligent human-faced snakes crawled through the wasteland like wild beasts, catching mice, poisonous snakes and the like for food.

Fortunately, they are born with extraordinary bloodlines. Even without much practice, they can reach the third level of Qi training, so there is no need to worry about extinction.

Li Qing swept the entire ruins with his spiritual sense and found that there was no other threat except the altar, so he took Mao Shou in.

When the human-faced snakes saw this, they all hunched their bodies, and the human faces opened their eyes and mouths, making exaggerated expressions to intimidate him.

"They were originally an intelligent race, but due to the breakdown of civilization, they have become beasts. How sad and lamentable."

Li Qing sighed, waved his long sleeves, brushed the human-faced snakes aside, strode towards the altar, and ignored them.

When Mao Shou saw this, he felt sympathy for the animals and sighed. He took out some dry food made from spiritual plants and fed them to them.

After all, it was a human-faced snake that could understand people's hearts. Some of the little guys felt his kindness, hesitated for a while, and then crawled over in a winding manner.

"Hiss..."

They stick out their tongues like snakes, and then flexibly roll the food into their mouths.

The delicious taste they had never tasted before blossomed in their mouths, making these little guys roll around with joy.

Those big human-faced snakes thought they were poisoned and glared at Mao Shou. They mobilized the limited spiritual energy in their bodies and wanted to launch an attack.

Fortunately, these little guys quickly came to their senses and rushed forward to beg for food from Mao Shou, which eased the atmosphere.

"Don't rush, eat slowly, everyone has a share!"

After Mao Shou had fed all the human-faced snakes, he gently pushed them away and lightly jumped behind Li Qing.

"Master, I want to take those little guys with me and send them to a tribe of human-faced snakes. They are still young and their animal nature is still young. Perhaps they can be educated."

Li Qing looked up at the green prisms and replied casually, "It's up to you to decide. However, since you have such good intentions, you should put them in a good place. Don't do bad things with good intentions."

Human villages will be wary of strangers; it is also unknown whether the human-faced snake tribe can readily accept these wild fellows.

Mao Shou nodded: "Well, I will try my best to follow up. All races in the secret realm are struggling to survive. If there is a chance to expand the tribe, there should be tribes willing to do so."

Li Qing did not comment and focused his attention on the altar in front of him.

He first practiced the newly revised earthly immortal method, but the altar's protective formation did not resonate at all.

After thinking for a moment, he took out the "Spirit Sealing Mirror".

At this moment, the emerald green prisms on the altar seemed to be stimulated and shone brilliantly like the ochre gems.

The sky was filled with green light, covering the entire ruins.

Those ignorant human-faced snakes were terrified at first, twisting their bodies and hiding under the ruins. But soon, they instinctively felt that the green light was good for them, so they hesitantly came up and carefully basked in the green light.

This time, Li Qing did not hear any scriptures.

But he was keenly aware that something deep in his roots was quietly transforming.

With a thought, he practiced the "Qingmu Yanming Zhenjie" and quickly came to the conclusion: "The quality of the wood spiritual root has improved?!"

There was no spirit-testing platform on site, so he couldn't judge how much his spiritual root aptitude had improved, but this was undoubtedly a good thing.

After all, the quality of spiritual roots still has a great influence on the breakthrough from foundation building to core formation.

Just like the ochre-colored gems, the emerald green prisms, after shining, also turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

Li Qing couldn't catch up either, so he didn't bother.

He turned around and asked Mao Shou: "Besides here, do you know where else there are ancient ruins?"

Mao Shou was experiencing the changes in his body as the green light illuminated his body. He was a little confused when he heard this. After coming to his senses, he shook his head regretfully, "No more. The bone-cutting divine wind is everywhere. It's too dangerous to wander around in the wild."

Li Qing was not disappointed. He took a step forward and was about to step onto the altar, but the altar turned into ashes and disappeared.

"Eh! That's not right!"

Li Qing keenly discovered: "The wooden palaces in Cat City, including the towers, disappeared without leaving any trace. However, this altar was reduced to ashes, and the form of expression is different."

He guessed in his heart that the powerful person in Cat City must have deliberately left a backup plan and met with him, his destined person, to leave a glimmer of hope for his family.

The powerful man on the human-faced snake side, perhaps because he evacuated too hastily or for other reasons, left behind the green prism.

"Forget it. There's no point in thinking too much. These are not things I should consider at my level."

Li Qing shook his head, raised his hand, and turned his true energy into wind, which rolled up all the human-faced snakes in the ruins and placed them next to Mao Shou.

Then, he threw a handful of fast-growing spiritual plant seeds into the ruins, and then nourished them one after another with the magical powers of favorable wind, spiritual water, and green wood.

Soon, various low-level vine-like spiritual plants with well-developed root systems lifted up the ruins.

Under Li Qing's deliberate control, these spiritual vines continued to dig and rummage in the ruins, trying to find more things related to the ruins.

While comforting the human-faced snake, Mao Shou muttered, "There really is a treasure. When the human-faced snake tribe evacuated, they should have taken it with them..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qing dug out a stone slab from the ruins, with graffiti painted on it.

The graffiti was very abstract. Li Qing looked carefully and found that it seemed to be a tree.

Suddenly, the Taoist foundation in Li Qing's Dantian trembled slightly.

He did not make a sound, but divided his attention into two things: one continued to excavate the ruins while the other sunk his spiritual consciousness into the Taoist foundation, reaching that mysterious space.

The boundless ocean was still surging with waves, and the towering green trees were rooted in it, swaying slightly.

Suddenly, the whole green tree began to collapse, just like in the Canglang Water Palace, the vast ocean turned into a drop of water and condensed into a seed.

The seed suddenly broke away from Li Qingdao's base and dantian, hovered above the ruins for a while, and suddenly disappeared.

Li Qing frowned, thinking of what he had seen in a trance, the tree being chopped into pieces by the axe: "Could it be that there are fragments of that tree here as well?" (End of this chapter)
