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

Chapter 66: Foundation Building and Overhaul, Li Qing is Strong (Request for Full Order)
In Xuanjing Cave, Li Qing continued to absorb pure spiritual energy and refine it into Qingmu Zhenyuan.

The Dantian seemed to be blessed with sweet dew after a long drought. The Zhenyuan Mirror Lake, with the Dao base as the pull, formed a whirlpool, swallowing up the sea and accumulating Zhenyuan continuously.

Since building his foundation in the spirit world, Li Qing's true essence has not been perfected due to insufficient spiritual energy. Now, with the help of Xuan Jing's cave, he has finally stabilized his foundation.

"Phew—that's really cool!"

After breathing for a long time, Li Qing slowly opened his eyes and sighed, "Sure enough, for a foundation-building cultivator with a second-level spiritual vein, it is like a fish in water. If we leave this place again, it will be like a fish in a dry ditch. What can we do?"

He shook his head, put the matter of the spiritual vein aside, and began to actively draw in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to create a "breakthrough" phenomenon.

Li Qing practiced his skills, stirring up the true essence in his Dantian, drawing in vast amounts of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, gathering it above his spiritual vein.

Suddenly, a vortex of spiritual energy appeared, about ten feet in diameter, and poured down like a funnel, bringing with it a whistling gale that blew the three spiritual plants outside the cave to the east and west.

Xuan Jing hurriedly used a barrier to cover the spiritual plant to protect it from external intrusion.

Looking at the several stalks of green rice with bent ears, the white lion felt very distressed: "Hey, Brother Li, just act casually, why make it so realistic?"

Chaoyin and Asun lay on Xuanjing's lion mane to avoid the wind, and nodded desperately when they heard the words: "Guka." "Yaa."

Only Ah Zao seemed to be amused. He spread his four wings and climbed up in the direction of the wind.

When the wind changed direction, it glided and swooped down with great pleasure, making "Mulli Mulli" sounds happily.

"Interesting little thing!" Xuan Jing looked at the vibrant spiritual plant, loving it as well as the dog. He spurted out his true energy to protect Acao.

With something to lean on, the little guy played even crazier: "Wu-li-li!"

The breakthrough in foundation building starts from the magic power flowing upstream to anchor the spiritual platform, and ends with the true essence entering the dantian to build the foundation of the Tao. Some people can build the foundation as fast as Li Qingtian, which only takes about half a day.

Those who are slower in progress do not have enough aptitude, but they have the support of the best foundation-building pills. If they rely on "steady efforts" to grind away little by little, it will take two or three days.

But this time, Li Qing plays the role of a self-foundation-building cultivator who will die if he fails, so the outcome must be decided within one day.

So when Zhou Jingxing, Lou Qingyun and others arrived, Li Qing's foundation building had entered a critical stage.

The vortex formed by spiritual energy was intermittent, gradually weakening, but suddenly becoming stronger. It didn't look like a treasure coming out of the world, but rather like something struggling in its death throes.

"What kind of treasure is this?" A thin middle-aged monk looked up at the sky, "Why did such a strange phenomenon appear?"

Lou Qingyun frowned and said, "Why do I feel like my spirit beast is having a difficult birth?"

"The spirit beast is having difficulty giving birth?" The middle-aged cultivator with a ferocious look on his face was very suspicious, "This mysterious crystal secret realm is about the spirit beast white lion, right?"

Lou Qingyun spread his hands and said, "That's not impossible! Some spirit beasts are hermaphrodites, and some can even get pregnant. Who can tell for sure?"

An old woman with a pointed face and monkey cheeks thought it made sense. She looked at the increasingly unstable vortex with a gleam in her eyes and said, "Could it be that the white lion really had a difficult birth?"

"That's a second-level spirit beast, at the foundation-building stage. Its offspring must be very talented." Zhou Jingxing said confidently, "If I take it back, the ancestor will definitely..."

Before he finished speaking, several monks had already flown away. However, the five people who had just spoken seemed to have taken root.

"Hey, I didn't expect that the pride of the Foundation Building Family would also know these crooked ways!" The pointed-mouthed old woman sneered.

The fierce male cultivator looked even more unfriendly: "The spell that confuses the mind, the spell that confuses the heart, hey, I almost fell for you two, Grandpa."

The thin male cultivator took a step back and said, "You two are not good people either. It's a pity for those fellow Taoists. They served as pathfinders for you without knowing why."

"People die for money, birds die for food. Who can be blamed?"

"It's just a matter of chance."

Zhou Jingxing looked indifferent; Lou Qingyun was indifferent. They both perked up and cast their gazes towards the vortex of spiritual energy below.

Over there, Xuan Jing used the tip of his bristly tail to stir up the ripples and watched the red algae swaying with the waves.

Suddenly, several cultivators in the late Qi training stage rushed in, and crashed into the barrier with "bang", "dong" and "clang", and their eyes were full of stars.

Xuan Jing knew that they were lurking outside, but thinking that Li Qing needed an "audience", he ignored them. How could he have known that these people would be so reckless?

It patiently bound them with magic and prepared to throw them out.

But one of them suddenly shouted: "Evil beast! Hand over your child quickly, otherwise..."

Xuan Jing was stunned: "Where did I come from!" Then he became furious, "How dare you slander my innocence out of thin air!"

Several hurricanes swept them up and threw them against the crystal mountain wall with a "bang", causing them internal injuries and making them unable to move for a while.

"That white lion is angry, but it still has a lot of energy!" Lou Qingyun rolled his eyes, "It seems that there must be another treasure."

The thin male cultivator couldn't help but feel discouraged: "With this second-level spirit beast guarding us, there is no chance for us to get any treasures. I'd better go dig for black crystals."

The vicious male cultivator and the sharp-mouthed old woman also spoke in agreement, but none of them turned around and left.

Zhou Jingxing, on the other hand, looked up at the vortex of spiritual energy that was about to dissipate, and thought, "Why do I feel like this scene is somewhat familiar?"

"It looks familiar. Three years ago, the second elder of the Lu family tried to build his foundation, but his energy was lost and he died. Wasn't it this scene!" Lou Qingyun said casually, "Their family's foundation building was interrupted, and it seems that they are going to decline."

The fierce man frowned and said, "How could someone hide in the secret realm to break through? There are spirit beasts nearby, watching closely?"

When everyone thought about it, they felt it was impossible.

However, after a few breaths, the vortex of spiritual energy in the sky continued again, suddenly rolling up clouds and rain, flashing lightning, and ringing thunder.

A clear but heroic voice rang out from the belly of the mountain: "I have been searching for the truth for sixty years, and now I have washed away all the worldly troubles. Don't say it's too late, I am finally free now."

As he finished speaking, the vortex of spiritual energy in the sky collapsed, the rain stopped, the wind died down, the thunder and lightning stopped, and only a long rainbow hung high in the sky.

Then, an aura far beyond the Qi training realm swept across the area, suppressing everyone's hearts and minds, and they couldn't help but bow their heads.

"There is actually someone who has broken through to the foundation-building stage in the secret realm!" Zhou Jingxing and Lou Qingyun looked at each other, and there was no longer the arrogance of the children of the foundation-building family in their eyes.

Li Qing came out of the spiritual cave and bowed to Xuan Jing solemnly: "Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist!"

Xuan Jing secretly rolled his eyes, but said: "Daoyou has extraordinary perseverance, I am just helping him."

As it spoke, it raised its claws and pointed at the people hanging on the cliff: "These people were reckless and rude, and I taught them a lesson. If any Taoist friend recognizes them, please take them away."

Li Qinggang was busy acting and didn't pay attention to this side. At first glance, there were actually a few familiar faces: "Friend Lu Daoist, Friend Chen Daoist, Friend Zhu Daoist, why are you so embarrassed!"

Several dying Qigong monks were about to plead for mercy.

Hearing Li Qing's voice, they were stunned at first, then suddenly turned around and looked over here, their faces filled with shock: "Daoist Fellow Li Qing!"

"No! I am being rude, Senior Li!"

"Senior Li, please help and beg for mercy!"

"We didn't mean to offend you! We were just being schemed against by a villain!"

White Lion Xuan Jing snorted: "There are a few more over there, sneaking around, I'll catch them all."

Then a strong wind blew up, and Zhou Jingxing, Lou Qingyun and others who were hiding far away were also captured by it.

Li Qing lowered his head and looked at them: "So it's you Daoist Fellow Zhou and Daoist Fellow Lou. I wonder where you are from? Why are you hiding your head and showing your tail?"

Zhou and Lou blushed and whispered, "It is the junior Meng Wang who has behaved recklessly. Please forgive me, senior!" Although they were also in their forties, they were the pride of the foundation-building family after all. Except in front of their elders and the true disciples of the great sect, they had never experienced such an embarrassing moment.

Li Qing laughed in his heart but didn't expose her. He turned his head to look at the sharp-mouthed old woman. Suddenly his eyebrows raised and he thought: After searching everywhere for something, I finally got it without any effort.

"Fellow Daoist, are you from the lineage of a strange Gu master? My mushroom field was hit by a disaster recently. I wonder if it has anything to do with you?"

The sharp-mouthed old woman fell to her knees in fear: "Senior, please understand. A boy deceived my granddaughter's heart, and I was so angry that I made a big mistake."

Li Qing couldn't help but choke.

Seeing that although the old woman had an evil aura, she did not have too much bloody and violent aura, she thought she was not a person who had done many evil things, so she said, "Since it is a dispute between the young people, it is better to resolve it in person."

The old woman breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly, "Once we get out of the secret realm, I will definitely bring my granddaughter here to have a good chat with that young man..."

Li Qing took a final glance at the fierce male cultivator and the skinny male cultivator, and suddenly laughed, "I was wondering who it was? Turns out it's you two thieves!"

The two men were frightened and without thinking, they threw out four or five second-level talismans, poisonous pills, and thunder and fire pills from their sleeves, and at the same time, they used their blood escape to escape into the distance.

Li Qing didn't care at all. He rolled up his long sleeves and didn't even use any magic. The surging true energy wrapped up the talismans, pills and other things. After another grinding, they turned into green smoke and dissipated.

He raised his hand again, and his true energy turned into a giant green hand. He grabbed the two men in his hand, squeezed them hard, and settled the matter directly.

The rest of the people present were terrified to see two cultivators at the peak of Qi training die so easily.

Li Qing flicked his long sleeves, and Qingmu Zhenyuan turned into sweet rain, healing the people on the cliff.

"Don't panic, fellow Taoists. Those two took advantage of the foundation-building battle to burn, kill and loot at my spiritual peak, so I gave them a light punishment and a severe warning..."

When everyone heard this, they broke out in a cold sweat, thinking: This is called a small punishment but a big warning! Then what is considered a severe punishment? Could it be that it means tempering the soul and refining the spirit?
Zhou Jingxing and Lou Qingyun looked at each other and were even more shocked: How come this Senior Li, who had just established his foundation, seemed to be more powerful than their own ancestor?

Li Qing's strong and powerful personality as a foundation-building great cultivator was set, and he was impatient to argue with them: "Fellow Daoist Xuan Jing and I have something important to discuss, please go ahead."

The others rushed away as if they had been pardoned.

After everyone left, Li Qing let out a long sigh of relief: "This play is finally over!"

Xuan Jing yawned: "You human cultivators are so weird!"

Asun, Acao and Chaoyin, who were hiding under its mane, finally came out.

Ah Sun and Chao Yin straightened up, their eyes sparkling with stars: "Yaaa!" "Guka!" (Acting! It's fun!)

Li Qing couldn't help but smile: "Okay, okay! Next time I have a chance, I'll take you with me!"

Acao showed little interest. He jumped onto the barrier set up by Xuan Jing, slid down along the arc, then spread his wings slightly and glided, seeming to enjoy himself.

Li Qing used his true essence to refine several balls of spiritual energy and sharpened their teeth, while he pulled Xuan Jing aside to talk.

"I am sorry to have troubled you today. If the news of my breakthrough through this spiritual vein spreads, I will inevitably be disturbed in the future."

Xuan Jing said with disdain: "A mere Qi training cultivator, even if he has a second-level talisman or a spiritual weapon, is no match for me with just one claw."

Li Qing proposed another plan: "This secret realm is opened only once every twelve years. Would you like to start a business of renting out spiritual veins?"

"Your cultivation is granted by the secret realm, and it will neither increase nor decrease. This spiritual vein is nothing more than a residence for you."

"To break through, independent cultivators and disciples of small clans have to go to the Immortal City to rent spiritual veins, and the price is high. If you are willing to give a discount, there will definitely be a bright future."

Xuan Jing said, "Even if I asked for the rent, I wouldn't be able to use it! A lot of mid-grade spirit stones are just lying there gathering dust."

Li Qing couldn't help but choke: "Daoyou is confused. Who said that the rent can only be in spirit stones?"

"Your favorite Sanghe beef tenderloin, your favorite Lingya deer antler wine, your favorite flowers and plants, your favorite stories, which one can't be rented..."

Xuan Jing was also interested after being enlightened by him, but he still had concerns: "What if the other party wants to attack me after breaking through?"

"You human monks are full of tricks. I am not afraid of fighting with him, but I am afraid that he will secretly hurt the lion!"

"I'm still here." Li Qing clapped his hands. "My token can still be used. I'll be by your side and will never let you get into trouble."

Xuan Jing seemed to be interested. Li Qing quickly persuaded him with his feelings and benefits, and finally convinced him.

During the period of time that followed in the secret realm, Li Qing stayed in the second-level spiritual vein cave, refining his true essence and practicing the visualization diagram.

The originally simple picture of Taihao Palace now has half of its green wall filled with color, which also enhances Li Qing's true energy and magic.

Another thing happened during this period.

Unexpectedly, a demon from nowhere got into his spiritual platform. Then he was suppressed by the Taihao Palace Map and refined into a golden bead of telekinesis.

This golden bead has the wonderful effect of enhancing spiritual awareness, but Li Qing did not take shortcuts and "fed" it to the visualization diagram.

Thus, a golden tile appeared on the half green wall. Although it was still simple, it was good to have more colors.

In this way, after about ten days, the secret realm was suddenly closed and the monks who entered it were thrown out.

Li Qing followed the crowd and left the secret realm, joining the Li family members waiting on the lake shore, including the clan leader Li Hui.

A foundation-building cultivator nearby suddenly asked in surprise, "How did you violate the Xuan Palace's prohibition and come out of the lake?"

Suddenly, several foundation-building cultivators turned their eyes over.

Faced with the questioning from the great foundation-building cultivator, everyone in the Li family felt as if the pressure was real, coming at them head-on.

Li Qing laughed loudly, and the foundation-building aura swept through his body, colliding with everyone without showing any weakness.

Li Hui couldn't help but feel relieved. Then he heard Li Qing calmly say, "Let all Taoist friends know. I am Li Qing from the Li family of Qinghe Valley!"

“This time I was fortunate enough to enter the Mysterious Crystal Secret Realm. With the help of the second-level spiritual veins of the guardian spirit beast and the blessing of heaven, I was able to successfully build my foundation!”

"Boom——" One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

Everyone present, whether they were Qi-cultivating cultivators or foundation-building cultivators, all looked at Li Qing.

Li Qing, however, shook his true essence, transforming it into a beam of green wood light, which swept up the Li family members and flew straight away from Xuefeng Lake.

"Three days later, my Li family will hold a foundation-building banquet. I invite all of you who are building foundations to come and enjoy the feast."

There was an anxious foundation-building cultivator who directly transformed his true essence into a ban, trying to stop Li Qing and his party.

Li Qing was not afraid at all. His Qingmu essence turned into thunder and he blasted the restriction away with ease.

"So that fellow Daoist can understand, I am building my foundation on my own, my true essence is sharp, and you are also in the early stage of building your foundation, if you force me to fight, it may not be good."

As soon as he finished speaking, the wild geese flew away and Li Qing had already fled away.

"How can you be so arrogant? You have just established your foundation, but you don't take Brother Niu seriously." A cultivator who was in the foundation-building stage teased the man who was humiliated.

Others were equally shocked by his strength: "The Qinghe Valley Li family? How come I haven't heard of them? Could they be some hidden family?"
