Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 734: Demon Refining
Li Qing really didn't know what virtue he had. He only attracted the other party's attention by using the seal left by Chihuang Tianjun in the human world to kill the Taoist body of the Formless Saint.

He even went so far as to issue an order from the Holy Ancestor, causing many ancient demons in the Demon Realm to open space rifts and come down to the world with the help of the Demon Subduing Platform.

This scene is too exaggerated. The power of the demon world is extremely powerful. These ancient demons that have descended to this world want to capture all the cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage in the human world alive!
"As expected of the Demon Realm that can frequently go to war with the Spirit Realm, its strength is too terrifying. It is almost impossible for the Human Realm to contend with it."

By searching the soul and refining the spirit of this demon baby, Li Qing has learned that in the demon world, the one who can be called the Holy Ancestor is the absolutely supreme existence.

Once the Holy Ancestor issues an order, all the ancient demons in the entire demon world must obey!
His power is so immense that he can change the world with a flick of his hand. He is an immortal being. Even if only a drop of blood or a hair remains, he can be reborn alive.

When one’s cultivation reaches this level, his lifespan can be said to be as eternal as the sun and the moon. He will be immortal as long as the heaven and earth are immortal, and only beings of the same level can pose a threat to him.

Being targeted by such a being, Li Qing felt a genuine sense of crisis.

"Unless you ascend to the spirit world now, you will always get into trouble if you just hide in the human world."

"The power of the demon world is too strong. I can't resist it at all. Only the upper world can contend with it. In that case, even the Saint Ancestor of the Demon World can't do whatever he wants."

Li Qing muttered to himself, and for the first time, he felt a desire to ascend.

In the past, he only thought that he had a long life span and that as long as he persisted in refining weapons and treasures, he could live forever in the world, so he had no worries about the end of his life.

Therefore, he did not have as strong a desire to ascend to the upper realm as other cultivators.

He thought that if he could successfully cultivate to the stage of transformation of spirit one day, he would become a free and unfettered immortal in the human world and live freely and forever in this world.

But now something unexpected has happened!

Shen Ningbing was accidentally drawn into a space rift and activated the Yin-Yang Spirit Seal. Through the spiritual beacons imprinted on her body and soul, she accomplished the ascension that many powerful gods in the human world dreamed of.

He was also targeted by a powerful and unjust Saint Wuxiang, simply because he killed the Taoist body of Saint Wuxiang.

Of course, Li Qing didn't know the real reason why he was targeted by the Wuxiang Saint at this time.

All in all, the human world today is indeed not very suitable for him to live in.

"Well, in the end, I still have to improve my strength as soon as possible, otherwise, let alone the Saint Ancestor of the Demon Realm, I won't even be able to pass this level."

At this moment, three ancient demons in the Nascent Soul stage have been wiped out, but there are more than just these ancient demons that have descended from the Demon Realm.

Now he only hopes that those ancient demons that left the Qingling Domain will not turn back so quickly, or that the great masters in the God Transformation Stage in other major domains will be more powerful and kill all the ancient demons that left the Qingling Domain.

However, Li Qing does not like to pin his fate on others. The most urgent task at the moment is to improve his own strength!
As soon as he thought of this, he returned to the depths of his cave and came to the dark room where the blood lotus was planted.

This blood lotus has absorbed a large amount of essence and blood from Li Qing over the years, including many fourth-order demon kings in the transformation stage, so it has grown quite well.

It swayed slightly in the pool, looking extremely eerie.

"After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, it is almost impossible to quickly improve your strength, and I don't have the corresponding panacea."

"At this point, we can only wait and see if this blood lotus can refine the bodies of these ancient demons."

Li Qing collected the bodies of the three ancient demons that he had killed before, hoping to see if he could refine their essence and blood to feed the blood lotus and thus nourish himself.

But the ancient demon's body structure is very peculiar, and the blood flowing in its body is dark purple, which is very rare.

In fact, Li Qing had no idea about this and just wanted to give it a try.

He was even a little worried that the blood lotus would not be able to adapt to the blood refined from the demon body.

But there was no other way, he could only give it a try.

Having made the decision, Li Qing took action immediately.

He first took out a broken body of an ancient demon, and then began to refine it with his own pure magic power to cleanse the remaining demonic energy in the demon's body.

This process was very slow. The original demonic energy and the spiritual power he cultivated by refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth restrained each other. Even refining the spiritual power into the demon body was very difficult.

In the end, Li Qing decided to use the spiritual fire of heaven and earth.

boom!
Three spiritual flames of different colors gushed out, and with the blessing of Li Qing's magic power, they soon burned extremely vigorously.

Under the refinement of the vigorous spiritual fire, the original demonic energy in the demon body sizzled, just like cold water dripping into a hot oil pan, causing it to boil and become restless.

"It really works!"

Li Qing's eyes lit up, and then he sped up the refining of the demon body, making the spiritual fire of heaven and earth more vigorous.

Soon, the original demonic energy in the demon's body was completely eliminated by the extremely vigorous spiritual fire of heaven and earth, as if it had encountered a natural nemesis.

Seeing this scene, Li Qing felt slightly delighted. It seemed that the spiritual fire of heaven and earth did have a certain restraint on the demons. No wonder Chihuang Tianjun had only relied on the Xuanhuang True Flame and the Fire Spirit Pearl, in cooperation with the Chihuang Palace, to set up a seal and suppressed the Taoist body of the Saint Ancestor for who knows how many years.

Just like that, under the effect of the three spiritual fires of heaven and earth, the original demonic energy in the body of an ancient demon warrior in Li Qing's hand was finally cleansed away.

After doing all this, he refined this body as usual, transforming it into endless essence and blood!

However, this essence blood is purple-black in color, and looks quite evil. As for whether the blood lotus can absorb it, that is still unknown.

All the refined purple-black blood essence was introduced into the blood pool, and finally an entire dried corpse of the ancient demon was also thrown into the blood pool, turning it into nutrients for the blood lotus.

Afterwards, Li Qing stayed quietly beside the blood pool, watching what would happen.

After the blood pool was filled with purple-black blood essence, the strange blood lotus rooted in it soon began to move.

The blood lotus swayed a little more vigorously, as if it was trembling slightly, and each lotus petal stretched out.

Immediately afterwards, strands of purple veins emerged from the roots of the blood lotus and spread all the way to the center of the lotus petals before stopping.

These purple veins look like blood vessels, making the blood lotus even more mysterious.

In the center of the blood pool, the lotus petals opened and closed. Looking at this scene, Li Qing didn't know what to do for a moment.

"It looks like the blood lotus really absorbed the blood essence of this ancient demon's body, but why are there purple veins appearing?"

Confused, Li Qing hesitated whether to sit cross-legged in the center of the blood lotus as usual and accept its nourishment. In the end, he decided to sit on it and give it a try. In this extraordinary period, he did not want to miss any opportunity to improve his strength.

If the blood lotus can really refine the blood essence of the ancient demon and nourish Li Qing, then the current invasion of the demons may also be an opportunity for him.

With this thought in mind, Li Qing was already sitting cross-legged in the center of the blood lotus.

Lotus petals with purple and black veins were seen covering the area. Li Qing, who was standing in the center, closed his eyes slightly, carefully feeling the nourishment from the blood lotus.

At this moment, he felt that the life essence in his body was becoming increasingly vigorous, and its efficiency was even greater than that of the two transformation-stage demon kings he had refined before.

"Just the blood essence refined from the body of an ancient demon can actually transform into such a surging and rich life essence!"

"Unbelievable. This shows that the demon world where these ancient demons live has a very strong elemental energy. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to have such a body."

Li Qing was a little frightened, but more of it was joy.

The blood lotus can absorb the essence and blood refined from the ancient demon's body, so next he can even consider taking the initiative to hunt down some demons and refine them into nutrients to nourish the blood lotus!

Next, Li Qing calmly absorbed and refined the life essence that entered his body. During this process, his magical power was also slowly increasing.

Although the improvement is not very large, it is much faster than normal meditation and breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If you calculate carefully, it can almost save several years of meditation and hard practice.

After the purple-black blood essence in the pool was exhausted, Li Qing continued to refine the other two ancient demons and refined more blood essence.

Just like before, he sat in the center of the blood lotus again, feeling his life essence becoming vigorous and his cultivation level improving rapidly.

Of course, the emergence of evil thoughts is inevitable in this process.

If it weren't for the protection of Linglong Xianyin, Li Qing would have lost his mind long ago and turned into a demon who only knew how to kill.

Fairy music like the sound of nature kept echoing in Li Qing's mind. Whenever evil thoughts arose, they were calmed down, allowing his mind to remain calm and peaceful at all times and not lose his true self.

The further you progress in your practice, the more important this kind of auxiliary music becomes.

Generally speaking, powerful cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage rarely have any distracting thoughts and can easily calm their minds.

But if distracting thoughts really arise and disturb the mind, the harm they bring is no less than a mental demon.

With the help of his passive protective Linglong Xianyin, Li Qing can get rid of these complicated evil thoughts and remain his true self.

After more than ten days passed, the blood and essence of the demons in the pool dried up again.

This time, both Li Qing and Xue Lian gained considerable benefits. His cultivation level was greatly improved, and he went a step further in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

As for the blood lotus, it seemed to have more vitality and its aura was more condensed. It was in much better condition than when it was first planted.

“Although I don’t know the effect of taking the elixir that improves the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Stage, I think the effect will not exceed that of the Blood Lotus by much.”

"It's a new way to quickly improve my magic power."

As he spoke, Li Qing took out another pitch-black demon baby.

After the soul-searching and spirit-refining process was completed, Li Qing wiped out the demon baby's spiritual consciousness, leaving it an ownerless demon baby.

Even if the ban is lifted now, this demon baby will not make any threatening moves.

"It is filled with pure original demonic energy, the fruit of a powerful demon's lifelong practice."

"It's a pity that I don't have the method to cultivate the second Nascent Soul, otherwise I could refine it into my second Nascent Soul and achieve an external incarnation that is no weaker than the original body."

In the end, he still did not plan to practice this strange secret technique. After all, there was no specific method at the moment, so even if he wanted to practice it, he had no way.

Looking at the demon baby in his hand, Li Qing wanted to let the blood lotus devour it in the same way.

But he always felt that doing so was not a good thing. First of all, what was contained in this demon baby was not spiritual power, but the original demonic energy.

Even if the Blood Lotus could devour and refine it, Li Qing probably wouldn't be able to gain much benefit from it.

There may even be some disadvantages. After all, the original evil energy of the demon world is a fierce poison for cultivators.

Unless Li Qing wants to transform himself into an ancient demon like the young master of the Blood Spirit Sect before and ascend to the demon world in the future.

Otherwise, doing so might be tantamount to suicide!

"Yes, I almost forgot. We don't have to eat the blood lotus, but maybe we can give the other wooden spirit puppet a try!"

Li Qing's eyes flickered, and he planned to find a secret and deserted place to let his An Liu, who had been transformed into a wooden spirit puppet, try to see if he could devour the demon baby.

He clearly remembered that when this magic willow was alive, it swallowed up countless red crystals from exotic beasts!
Even he was nearly refined by the Demonic Willow. If it weren't for the protection of the Black Furnace, he might not have been able to survive the opponent. It was because the secret technique of "Wood Spirit Puppet" was too overbearing for spiritual plants that Li Qing won.

Li Qing decided to let his wooden spirit puppet, which could eat both meat and vegetables, give it a try and refine the demon baby.

Anyway, this thing has lost its vitality now and is at best a wooden spirit puppet. Even if it really has any harm, it will not threaten him.

Do what you say. As for quiet and uninhabited places, they may be hard to find in Qingling Territory, but in the polar night world, uninhabited areas thousands of miles away can be found everywhere.

The next moment, Li Qing traveled between the two worlds from the dark room and easily came to this world with darkness and coldness as the main theme.

With the help of the Wind and Thunder Silver Wings flapping their wings repeatedly, they soon found a wasteland with no sign of life in the surrounding area.

Li Qing waved his hand, and the red moonlight reflected in the sky suddenly dimmed.

All he saw was a huge willow tree that was big enough to hold up the sky and press down. Perhaps it should be called the Dark Willow Spirit Puppet now. Li Qing could control it as easily as with his own arm.

Afterwards, Li Qing took out the demon baby from the demon clan, hesitated for a while, and finally threw it to the huge wooden spirit puppet.

The pitch-black willow branches were pulled out nimbly and wrapped around the demon baby accurately.
