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

Chapter 74: Green-robed Cultists, Three Treasures Wonderful Tree (Two in One)

Li Qing circulated the Qingmu Zhenyuan and continued to refine the coral cordyceps.

This Cordyceps is a rare spiritual plant of the three elements of water, wood, and fire. Born in the sea, it belongs to water, its body is Cordyceps, it belongs to wood, and its color is red, it belongs to fire, which is exactly the right match for Li Qing.

Li Qing's true essence permeated into it and naturally connected with the spirituality left in the coral, and soon he was able to refine it initially.

With a soft "buzz" sound, the red coral tree, which was about 13 feet tall, slowly shrank. When it fell into Li Qing's hand, it was only two feet long and had six branches.

This coral tree is as smooth as jade, with a faint warmth. Holding it in your hand, it is surrounded by the aura of the three elements of water, wood and fire. It is truly a great treasure.

After Li Qing collected the red coral, A Sun and the other two also absorbed the essence of the red heart gem.

Asun obtained the wood essence, and green magic light flowed around his body. In addition to various changes in the lettuce essence, green coral light and shadow were also produced.

Ah Zao obtained the fire essence, and the spiritual fire around his body burned in the sea, but it lacked a bit of violence and scorching heat, and was warm and cozy, like the first sunshine in winter.

Chaoyin got the water essence, but the breath became slightly stronger, without any other changes. It was probably a spirit insect bred by spiritual rice, and it had its own unique endowment.

The red heart gem did not disappear, so Li Qing buried it together with the remains of the great elf.

"The Supreme Commandment, your lonely soul will be saved..."

He took the three children and Rick, who didn't understand what he meant, and chanted the Rebirth Mantra seven times using their spiritual senses before turning around and leaving.

Today, Li Qing and the three children all had good opportunities, and Rick also had a great harvest, so they stopped lingering in the sea to search for treasure and returned to Lettuce Island together.

When arriving on the island, Li Qing went to the reef on the east side of the island to check out another kind of magical fungus, the sea mist stone fungus.

This is a small mushroom with a gray cap and a white stem. When it matures, a net-like skirt like white gauze opens from the cap downwards, and from a distance it looks like fairies in snow skirts.

However, perhaps due to the unfamiliar climate and soil, or because of the heavy snow last time, the sea fog missed its peak season, and most of the sea fog holly have withered.

The serfs who looked after the fungi were worried about being held accountable.

Li Qing smiled and waved his hand: "This matter has nothing to do with you. If the heavens don't favour you, it's beyond human power to reverse it."

But he still asked people to look after the remaining few plants: "Preserve the mycelium properly. If there are spores scattered, they must be carefully collected. Maybe we can plant them next winter..."

Survival of the fittest. That's it.

Soon, the half-moon period came in a flash. In Dantian, the shadow of the "Gate of Heavenly Dimension" flickered slightly.

Li Qing hesitated for a moment and did not use his spiritual sense to touch it: "Just stay in this world for a while longer."

After the "Gate of Heaven" is fully charged, it does not necessarily enable the crossing between the two worlds.

But before that, neither side could do without Li Qing. He could only rush between the two worlds on time, and was very busy.

Now, in the world of cultivation, Li Qingcheng has established his foundation and is so powerful among his neighbors that no one will offend him in the short term.

If a strong man really came to bully them, he would be worried if he couldn't figure out Li Qing's whereabouts.

On the contrary, on Lettuce Island, Li Qing had to pay attention to the elusive Count Iris, the increasingly active wizard group, especially Philos who set up a trap in the underwater volcano, and Fakusi who profited from the misfortune.

"I just got a chance to break through to the second level of foundation building. Now I need to settle down. I am not in a hurry to return to the spirit vein to practice hard."

Having made up his mind, Li Qing settled down in Hongya Castle, occasionally instructing Rick in practicing his fighting spirit, and teaching Ryan and Anna how to make spiritual wine and spiritual food.

Karin felt awkward for a long time, but finally let go of the grudge in her heart and frequently appeared in front of Li Qing with the rose elf bug.

Li Qing thought that she was his future disciple's wife, so he didn't make things difficult for her. He would occasionally send some new seeds to the Rose Elf Bug, but he never mentioned helping her practice fighting spirit.

Rick was a little embarrassed.

Li Qing said, "When you two get married, you can help her get started. The Dou Qi lineage is a secret to me, and how it will develop in the future depends on you..."

Rekton felt his shoulders sink and he pulled his mother Anna to continue explaining the secrets of practicing fighting spirit.

This continued until the severe winter arrived. Snowflakes fell like a blanket, covering the sky and earth. Even the sea water near the island froze.

On the day of winter solstice, Li Qing finally figured out the style of his natal spiritual weapon.

He did not alarm the Ryan family. He practiced the Water-Repelling Technique and went to the underwater cave to break through the foundation.

"Huh? Why is there grass growing here?"

The cave, which was originally bare with only rock walls, now has clumps of grass growing on it, illuminating the dark cave with a faint fluorescence.

In particular, a soft round meadow grew out of the place where Li Qing sat cross-legged when he was building his foundation, which looked like a cushion.

Li Qing's mind turned and he understood the cause: "It turned out to be a grass seed that had been buried for a thousand years. It sprouted only after receiving the spiritual energy that was lost when I broke through. It was also a fate."

He smiled slightly, sat on the futon on the grass, set up a protective magic circle, and called out Ah Sun and the other three children: "I will refine the spiritual weapon later, you have to help me!"

Ah Sun nodded seriously: "Yeah!"

Azao and Chaoyin also nodded.

Li Qing smiled, asked them to squat according to the three positions, and spit out Cordyceps seeds next to them.

Elves are the most favored by this world. As soon as the three strange elf insects appeared, the spiritual energy in the cave slowly lingered like clouds in the wind.

The natal spirit weapon is a very special existence for the foundation-building cultivators. It is a reflection of the Tao foundation and the embodiment of minor supernatural powers. It can be refined without special means of refining.

Moreover, since it concerns the path of the Tao, it cannot be delegated to others.

As for ordinary spiritual weapons, unlike natal spiritual weapons, their refining mainly depends on weapon refining methods and requires the help of a second-level weapon refiner.

Li Qing placed the initially refined coral between three Cordyceps sinensis and through some miraculous induction, activated the three elemental powers of water, wood and fire.

Afterwards, he took out six kinds of spiritual materials from his storage bag, including mercury, gold, jade, crystal, spiritual sand, and giant clam, and placed them on the six branches of the coral respectively.

These spiritual materials are not ordinary treasures, they are all full of spiritual energy and together with corals, they are called the Seven Treasures of Taoism.

Among them, spiritual sand, beautiful jade, and crystal were brought from the world of cultivation; mercury and gold were refined by Li Qing himself; the giant clam was also once infected by magic power, but it decayed over the years and only the shell remained after death.

"It is said that there is a great Buddhist who has used seven treasures, namely gold, silver, glass, clam, amber, coral and agate, to create a wonderful tree of seven treasures, which can brush away everything."

"I don't understand Buddhism, but I think it should be feasible to use the Taoist seven treasures for sacrifice."

Li Qing pondered for a moment and finally calmed down. Qingmu's true essence slowly flowed out and transformed into spiritual fires, and he began to refine his natal spiritual weapon.

Asun and the other two quickly activated the Cordyceps sinensis to gather a huge amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth to help with all their strength.

Mercury is liquid in nature. It flows slowly along the coral branches to the roots, dyeing them silver-white.

Gold followed closely behind, but it was not red golden water, but sparkling liquid gold, also flowing down.

Afterwards, the beautiful jade, crystal, spiritual sand and giant clam melted one after another, turning into crystal clear jade liquid, which in turn coated the coral branches with a layer of dazzling light film.

Finally, the six kinds of brilliant spiritual materials flowed like trickles, forming a solution at the roots of the corals. Under the blending of Li Qing's true essence, they were gradually absorbed by the corals.

"Boom--" The ocean above the cave was turbulent and purple thunder suddenly struck down, illuminating the entire world.

On a small island below, several weathered strong men who looked like fishermen were braving the wind and snow, devoutly worshipping towards the stone platform in front of them.

On the stone platform, a cluster of red flames burned quietly, emitting a power that warmed people's hearts.

The sturdy man in the lead was wearing a green robe and chanting with a fanatical look on his face.

"Great Blue King, you are the salvation of mankind, you are the nemesis of natural disasters, you are the fire bearer in the darkness, you will guide us out of despair and embrace the light..."

The prayer was obviously pieced together, but the people recited it with great confidence.

In addition to these fishermen, there were several rune warriors dressed as minor nobles, who were looking at this scene with suspicion.

"Do you think there is really a blue king?" One of the bronze warriors frowned.

The other one seemed a little hesitant: "Could it be a high-level wizard passing by?"

"As long as this flame remains magical, who cares what it is." Another person impatiently gestured "silence." Finally, the fishermen's prayer came to an end: "Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

"These cultists are really boastful! They dare to put anything in their prayers?" A bronze warrior said impatiently, "It's finally over."

When the ceremony was over, the leading fisherman in green robes stood up and solemnly said to the bronze warriors: "The Green King has sent down the gospel. You should take out the witch medicine."

The bronze warriors suddenly became excited and started carrying boxes of wheat from the outer areas.

There is barley, wheat, and oats. There are golden, green, and red ones. All of them are filled with a faint magical energy (aura).

"Hehe! After Viscount Jinmai died, all these witchcraft drugs became cheap for us."

"Good thing he died! He only knew how to exploit us, and never thought about who was helping him protect his territory!"

"That old witch actually broke through to the fourth level wizard in battle. It's so terrifying!"

"Enough! No noise or disturbance is allowed in the place where the Green-robed King appears! Carry the witchcraft medicine and come here one by one." The green-robed fisherman shouted angrily.

The bronze warriors shut up angrily and carried the magic medicine to the side of the stone platform.

The green-robed fisherman nodded, told another accountant beside him, then picked up a box of golden wheat and poured it towards the flames.

"Whoosh!" Flames rose up, accompanied by the aroma of roasted wheat. Grains of golden wheat burst instantly, puffing up into light yellow rice flowers.

"Quick! Collect it!" the green-robed fisherman shouted anxiously, and a bronze warrior with wind runes rolled it out.

He grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it wantonly, then laughed out loud, "Hahaha! It really works! After the golden wheat is roasted by fire, the properties of the witch medicine are fully stimulated!"

Upon hearing this, the other bronze warriors pushed aside the green-robed fishermen and rushed to pour various wheat potions into the flames.

Soon, the aroma of roasted wheat of various flavors lingered around the deserted island.

"These stray dogs are really too much!" A fisherman cursed quietly, "Naru, how long are we going to endure this?"

The green-robed leader Naru calmly shook his head and said, "The Holy Fire needs the nourishment of witch medicine. Our strength is limited, so we can only rely on them for the time being."

A fisherman spat angrily: "It's a pity that the other brothers are unwilling to convert. Otherwise, our strength would be doubled, and at least we could have a fair dialogue with them..."

"Don't worry! These people will be punished for disrespecting the King in Green!" Naru looked solemn and determined.

Before he finished speaking, a scream was heard from the stone platform.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that the flame suddenly rose up and directly burned the three bronze warriors into human-shaped torches.

"The King in Green has appeared again! The disrespectful have been punished!" Naru and other fishermen knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation.

*
"Noisy!" Li Qing frowned, "Why does it sound like there are flies buzzing?"

He activated the Taihao Palace visualization diagram, cleared his mind, wiped away all distracting thoughts, and looked at the coral tree in front of him.

The essence of the six treasures is integrated into it, giving the originally deep red coral a layer of gorgeous porcelain. The precious light is sparkling, dazzling but not chaotic, and exudes the indestructible Dharma spirit of Vajra.

"In this way, I think it should be enough to satisfy my expectation, right?" Li Qing smiled with satisfaction, contemplating his Dantian and activating the Taoist foundation that was like a high platform.

Suddenly, the foundation of the Dao trembled, and a raging wave was set off in the Zhen Yuan Mirror Lake. The surging Zhen Yuan poured out and poured into the coral tree in front of him.

"Buzz buzz buzz..." The coral tree trembled gently, and the essence of water, wood and fire rooted in it gushed out and merged with Li Qing's true essence.

The two influence each other, and gradually you become part of me and I become part of you.

Li Qing did not dare to delay. He chanted the incantation, made finger gestures, and cast one spell after another, imprinting them on the coral.

Suddenly, talismans appeared one after another, and soon they were strung into a chain, sentences were put together into words, and they were linked together to become layers of restrictions.

Whether it was the Three Elements Essence or the True Essence Spirit Liquid, under the constraints of these layers of restrictions, according to Li Qing's will, it gradually merged with the coral tree again.

"In order to refine my own spiritual weapon, I need to integrate my minor magical powers into it." Li Qing muttered to himself, activating the minor magical powers bestowed by the Qingmu phantom.

This magical power comes from the same source as Li Qingqing's wood essence, and is the foundation of his practice. Naturally, it is also his preferred innate magical power.

"Swish——" The small magical power turned into a green talisman and slowly fell on the coral tree.

Suddenly, green light flowed on the coral tree, and the essence of wood element, green wood true essence, and magical talismans reflected each other, illuminating the cave with clarity.

Li Qing used another set of finger gestures, infusing his spiritual consciousness into them, causing the three to merge completely.

"Buzz..." The coral tree trembled slightly, the magical power restriction was stabilized, and the life magic weapon was achieved.

But Li Qing was not satisfied. He looked inward at his dantian and drew out the magical talismans bestowed by the boundless ocean and the magical talismans transformed by his own alchemy method, and injected them into the coral tree.

The water element and fire element essences that were originally attached to the wood element essence were attracted by the magical talisman and rushed out one after another, and soon added two more magical restrictions to the coral tree.

The three magical restrictions are like three rings, with the wood element in the middle, and water and fire separately, buckled together, interweaving into a more complicated magical restriction.

Li Qing then clapped his hands in satisfaction and was about to take the newly refined natal spiritual weapon in his hands to examine it carefully.

Asun Sanxiao, who had been using Cordyceps to gather spiritual energy from heaven and earth and was so tired that he collapsed to the ground, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, suddenly there was a crisp "crack" sound, and the freshly-made natal spiritual weapon actually developed a very tiny crack.

"Not good!" Li Qing's expression changed drastically, "Even if I specially use the six treasures to refine the coral, it still can't support the three innate magical powers?"

Although the natal spiritual weapon can be refined again before being sacrificed and placed in the Dantian, it is difficult to find a second spiritual material like red coral that is as suitable for Li Qing's path.

Li Qing looked at the dark, blue, and red colored magic lights flowing through the coral tree, whose forbidden power was about to explode, and shook his head helplessly: "I didn't expect that I would have to use this trick again."

Within the dantian, Qingmu's true essence surged out and merged into the coral tree, firmly locking the restrictions on Qingmu's magical powers.

Then, Li Qing bit the tip of his tongue and extracted pure essence from his body, which, along with the blood from the tip of his tongue, splashed onto the coral tree.

Using blood as a medium to communicate with his natal spiritual weapon, Li Qing's essence also penetrated deep into the coral tree and merged with the restriction of the mysterious water magic power.

At the same time, Li Qing's spiritual consciousness, with the help of the visualization diagram, fell onto the coral tree.

The remaining restrictions of the Red Fire Magical Power no longer needed to be connected and they automatically manifested themselves and merged with Li Qing's spiritual consciousness.

Then a "ding" sound was heard, and a sound from heaven was heard in the darkness.

Li Qingfu said to Asun Sanxiao: "Give me a Cordyceps leaf!"

Acao and Chaoyin looked confused, but Asun had already reacted.

"Ah!" It opened its mouth and bit its own Cordyceps. Ignoring the sudden pain all over its body, it tore off a lettuce leaf and threw it onto the coral tree.

Acao and Chaoyin finally understood and felt a little scared, but they still closed their eyes and tried their best to tear it off the Cordyceps.

A red algae leaf and a green grass leaf floated towards the coral tree one after another.

Li Qing activated the three magical restrictions of his natal spiritual weapon and merged them with the three Cordyceps leaves.

Suddenly, dark, green and red lights shone and transformed into spiritual lotus flowers, circling around the coral tree, and a faint fragrance diffused.

"Finally, it's done!" Li Qing was certain in his heart.

He combined the essence with the water element, the true essence with the wood element, and the spiritual consciousness with the fire element. He borrowed the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit to stabilize the three elements of water, wood, and fire. With the help of the luck bestowed by the elf insects from heaven and earth, he finally refined this natal spiritual weapon.

He stretched out his hand, grasped the coral tree, and the lotus flowers immediately disappeared.

"Although you are made of the seven treasures of Taoism, you are made of my three treasures of essence, energy and spirit. From now on, I will call you... the Three Treasures Wonderful Tree!"

The coral tree trembled slightly, and the spiritual weapon seemed to recognize the name.

Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Sanxiao who was rolling on the ground in pain, and brushed the Sanbao Miao Tree lightly.

He used his minor magical power to soothe the three elf insects while at the same time causing leaves to grow again at the damaged part of the Cordyceps.
