Immortal Refiner

Qiushan Domain, in a desolate hill.

After Li Qing opened a simple cave here, he began to practice the soul pill method in this deserted mountain.

He had tried to practice several times before, and he deeply understood how difficult it was to practice the secret method passed down to him by Senior Wu Yuan, and it was definitely not something that could be accomplished overnight.

"Hiss!"

In the cold and dark cave, Li Qing took a breath of cold air.

Then, a pleasant bell sound rang in the cave, and with the activation of the soul-nourishing bell, the pain in his soul quickly subsided.

"I really can't imagine how Senior Wu Yuan persisted at the beginning. Even if I have the soul-nourishing bell, I can only barely bear this kind of soul pain."

Li Qing's face was extremely pale, and there was a sense of weakness in his eyes.

The pain caused by the damage to the soul is a much more real and clear experience than the injury to the flesh, and it is difficult for ordinary people to withstand it.

This is why it is rare to see cultivators who focus on the soul in the cultivation world. This type of cultivator is much rarer than physical cultivators.

At least so far, Li Qing has not seen any soul cultivators.

After the bell sound faded, Li Qing sighed:

"Well, continue."

He had practiced the Soul Condensation Slash before. If the pain of the soul is graded, then the level of practicing the Soul Condensation Slash is at most three, while the pain level of practicing this Soul Pill Secret Art is at least six, or even higher!

The key point of the Soul Pill Method is to actively divide one's own soul and then condense a soul pill.

But this

Who can withstand such pain?

At least Li Qing felt that if he didn't have the Soul Cultivation Bell, he would definitely not choose to practice this Soul Pill Secret Art.

But since the decision has been made, there is no reason to retreat.

Next, Li Qing continued to challenge his endurance limit deep in the dark cave.

If someone approaches this barren mountain, they will definitely feel creepy.

Because from the belly of this mountain, from time to time, a miserable low roar came, followed by a very pleasant bell sound.

The miserable low roar and the pleasant bell sound alternated with each other, which sounded very strange, as if there was some evil spirit living in the belly of the mountain.

Time passed unknowingly, and several months passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Fan Tong came back once, holding a ferocious beast with a long neck and dark red scales in its mouth.

It lay at the foot of this barren mountain to eat, swallowing all the flesh and blood of the beast, and even swallowing the red crystal.

"Roar!"

When Fan Tong finished swallowing a whole beast, he would stay at the foot of the mountain to rest for a while and digest everything he got.

Every time after resting, Fan Tong would look back at the mountain for a few times, and then continue to go out for bloody hunting.

It was during this process that the evil spirit on Fan Tong became more and more intense.

Its tiger body is huge, and the tiger hair on its body gradually turns black, while the originally black stripes on its body turn dark red.

Black and red!

The appearance of the current rice bucket is more and more like the strange beast in the polar night world.

Qiushan Domain, Baolian City.

It doesn't quite match the name. This majestic city has no sense of jewels and gems at all, but instead exudes a gloomy and cold atmosphere.

The city wall is in a state of disrepair, but there is really no need to repair it, just because this city is the territory of the Blood Lotus Sect.

Looking at the entire Qiushan Domain, the Blood Lotus Sect is also the only overlord.

The existence of the city wall is just a symbol of decoration.

In the city, the main altar of the Blood Lotus Sect is located.

"Hehe, Guardian Lin, the quality of the exotic beast materials brought this time is not very good. Most of them are first-level exotic beasts, and there are not many second-level exotic beasts."

"Why, is your Black Wind Region the same as my Qiushan Region, where all the exotic beasts have been hunted and killed?"

An old man sitting casually leaned on a black lotus platform. He was wearing a black robe with a blood-colored lotus seal engraved on it.

Across from the old man, a pretty woman with cat ears replied with a cold face:

"Elder Zhu, the exotic beasts in my Black Wind Region are not so easy to capture. That strange demon tree has become stronger and stronger. I don't know how many exotic beasts it has swallowed over the years."

Hearing this, Elder Zhu, who was originally sitting casually, couldn't help but sit up slightly, and his face became a little solemn.

Of course, he knew the terrifying willow tree in the southern part of the Black Wind Region. Its size blocked the sky and the sun. From a distance, it looked like a huge mountain lying across the plain.

Even though he was a cultivator who survived the Sunshine Era, he was extremely shocked by the existence of the demon willow.

Even when there was spiritual energy between heaven and earth in the past, he could not believe that such a terrifying thing could be born in the world.

"That being said, the exotic beast materials sent by your Wumeng are getting less and less, and it is not easy for me to explain to the leader." Elder Zhu's face became embarrassed.

A trace of coldness flashed in Lin Jing's eyes, but he said humbly: "Then please bear with me, Elder Zhu!"

In response, Elder Zhu said sinisterly: "Hehe, bear with me? If the leader blames me, how can I bear it?"

As he spoke, Elder Zhu knocked on the lotus seal beside him, making a series of rhythmic and crisp sounds.

Feeling the other party's scrutiny, Lin Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of struggle, and finally he slowly stretched out his hand that was like a cat's claw.

Seeing this scene, the wrinkles on Elder Zhu's face were slightly stretched out.

He slowly leaned forward, and soon, behind him, a long white snake slowly crawled out.

The white snake passed over Elder Zhu's shoulder, spread forward on the ground, and finally coiled its body in front of Lin Jing.

The snake seemed to have no end in sight, crawling all the way, and even the tail of the snake was not exposed, and the end was still hidden in Elder Zhu's clothes.

The white snake spit out its tongue, and then bit down hard on Lin Jing's outstretched hand.

"Hum"

Lin Jing uttered a painful groan, revealing a tiger tooth biting his lower lip tightly, and the blood on his face quickly faded.

At this time, Elder Zhu's face showed a look of pleasure and enjoyment.

After a long while, the white snake slowly opened its mouth, and its snake teeth were still stained with strands of scarlet blood.

After the white snake was taken back, Elder Zhu licked his lips and said with a comfortable look:

"The blood of you, the high-level Qi and Blood warriors, is still tasty enough. Haha, Lin, you can go back. This time, I will take care of it for you."

The pale-faced Lin Jing turned around and staggered towards the Blood Lotus Sect's main hall.

After Lin Jing's figure disappeared, Elder Zhu showed an expression of endless aftertaste on his face.

"I really want to raise a group of blood slaves who specialize in practicing Qi and Blood martial arts. Alas, I really don't understand why the leader is so rigid. What is he worried about!"

"Not only does he not allow disputes with the Martial Alliance, but he also prohibits people in the city from practicing Qi and Blood martial arts!"

"Alas! It's really unpredictable."

Elder Zhu shook his head slowly, with a look of pity on his face, and gently stroked the white snake connected to his body.

"Master Lin, are you okay? Did Elder Zhu of the Blood Lotus Sect say anything?"

"Did the Blood Lotus Sect embarrass you?"

The traveling merchants who stayed in Baolian City quickly gathered around Lin Jing after seeing her.

Lin Jing put on her bamboo hat again. She shook her head and said, "No, everything is fine. Let's go back."

Hearing this, everyone showed a look of relief and ease.

"That's good, that's good!"

"Let's just buy some things and go back. The Blood Lotus Sect is still easy to talk to!"

"That's right. Maybe after we go back, Alliance Leader Miao and Xishan Protector will open up a new path for Qi and Blood Martial Arts?"

These words of relief surrounded her ears, and Lin Jing's pretty face hidden in the bamboo hat also softened.

She inadvertently rubbed the wound on her hairy wrist, thinking that it was all worth it.

For Qi and Blood Martial Arts, Qi and Blood are the top priority. Refining their own Qi and Blood is the foundation of martial arts.

The experience just now almost destroyed her nearly half a year of hard training.

If she experienced it a few more times, even the body of a Qi and Blood Warrior would not be able to bear it and would be seriously injured.

"Leader Miao, Senior Brother Xishan, you must succeed."

Lin Jing did not tell everyone about her experience, but kept it in her heart.

She knew that once the people of the Wumeng knew about this, I am afraid that a chaos would be inevitable.

In the cold wind, Lin Jing's body seemed to be weaker.

Outside Baolian City, the merchant team from the Wumeng once again headed towards the Black Wind Region.

The journey was long, but fortunately, the strange beasts in Qiushan Region were almost all hunted and killed by the Blood Lotus Sect, so there was no need to worry about safety on the road.

Just as the group was talking and laughing, suddenly a sharp-eyed warrior exclaimed loudly:

"Look, there is a strange beast ahead!"

As soon as these words came out, countless people's eyes lit up and looked in the direction that person pointed.

Exotic beasts mean wealth. For the people of the Martial Alliance, they have to hand over a large number of exotic beast materials to the Blood Lotus Sect every year, which is a heavy burden.

If you encounter an exotic beast that can be hunted, it would be the best thing.

After all, whether it is red crystal or the materials on the exotic beast, they are all very useful things.

However, the next moment, Lin Jing suddenly stood up and shouted in a deep voice:

"Go! Go! This exotic beast is not something we can afford to offend!"

On a huge stone in front, a gorgeous tiger with blood all over its hair turned its head coldly.

After sensing the gaze of this exotic beast, Lin Jing almost stopped breathing, and the fluff on her cat ears exploded, standing upright, as if she had met a natural enemy.

Not only her, but also the unicorn driving the caravan was shaking.

All the warriors present were shocked. They understood what this meant. The exotic beast that looked ferocious and monstrous was definitely not something they could afford to offend.

"How is it possible that the Blood Lotus Sect is doing something? There is such a powerful beast in the Black Wind Region."

"Stop talking nonsense and leave!"

"Damn it, these unicorns are out of control and are so scared that they can't move!"

Countless people felt their hands and feet cold and fell into despair.

Being targeted by such a powerful beast, their fate might be miserable.

Lin Jing bit her lower lip. Under the gaze of the giant tiger, she took a very difficult step forward.

"Damn it. I have lost too much energy and blood. There is no way I can stop this giant tiger." Lin Jing's expression suddenly became sad, as if she saw her own end.

Just as she was about to shout for everyone to run away, something happened that they could never understand in their lifetime.

The powerful beast did not rush towards them, but turned around and walked away!

He didn't even take a second look!

"Walking away? How is that possible?"
