Seeking Immortals

  Chapter 40 Qi Refining Level 3

  In the world, there are still a lot of good people.

  Whether Rong Kui, or Ran Bing, although he has experienced a crippled life, he is undoubtedly a person of great kindness.

  Loyalty to the emperor, love for the common people, and aversion to war, the two have great similarities.

   Just don't pursue immortality, don't seek longevity, people are perishable.

  The saint didn't understand the reason behind Li Qing's words, and tried to ask: "The innate master, but the teacher's friend?"

  Li Qing didn't answer, but asked instead: "Emperor Tianshou excavated the ancient tomb, why did something go wrong?"

   According to Li Qing's thinking, there are more or less refined corpses in the ancient tomb.

  Li Qing also understood the behavior of the god-given emperor, and the other party still did not forget his obsession with seeking immortality.

  The so-called policy of using gold and silver from ancient tombs to support tax cuts is nothing more than covering up his own desire to find corpses.

  The heart of claiming the emperor after saying it, I'm afraid it was confirmed as early as when Li Qing refused to pass on his corpse.

   "Not yet, the subordinates have sent people to watch secretly. The ancient tombs that have been excavated so far are all small tombs. The excavation of the large tomb is still being prepared by Faqiu Lingguan. It is estimated that there will be a big move in a few years."

  The saint said cautiously: "My subordinates have heard that some living corpses were dug up from some ancient tombs, like the one on Bailian Island... However, they were all dealt with quickly without any serious problems."

  Jiamu exists, but I don’t hide it from the saint. When Li Qing returned from carrying the coffin, the saint saw it with her own eyes.

   Moreover, the saint knew the existence of immortality, and also knew that the White Lotus Sect had immortality.

   Afterwards, Li Qing asked some other questions, probably knowing the situation outside.

  Li Qing finally ordered:

"There are two things I need to do now. One is to send my disciples to Dongyue Kingdom to investigate Baiyue Chuan. I accidentally obtained a Taoism of the Immortal Family from Baiyue Chuan. I suspect that there is a world of cultivating immortals there. I need to be careful. Investigate, don't reveal your identity."

"Second, you should go to Lancang Mountain in Nanzhao Kingdom yourself. The living corpse in my hand comes from the ancient tomb of Lancang Mountain. You should carefully check whether there is any danger in the mountain. If there is no danger, the leader may I'll go there myself."

   "In addition, you don't need to worry about the change of the status of the saint. As long as I am still the leader and you are not dead, you will always be the saint."

   "If you get the chance, it is not impossible to help you enter the immortal way in the future."

   "Thank you, the leader, and I will live up to the holy order!" The saint bowed to accept the order.

  Ten years have passed. Although Li Qing has no plans to enter the world of cultivating immortals, finding a place in the world of cultivating immortals is undoubtedly on the agenda.

  Recently, the speed of cultivation has been getting slower and slower. Li Qing has an intuition that one day, his cultivation will be beyond his reach.

  However, at least wait for the day when he can't make any progress.

  …

  Summer goes and autumn comes, and there are two more cold and heat.

   This day.

   Bailian Island.

   "Hoo—"

   "The third layer of Qi Refining has finally broken through!"

  Li Qing woke up from his practice, his face was calm.

  After sixty-seven years of cultivating the Tao, he finally became the third level of Qi refining. Not counting as a person in the world of cultivating immortals, he is already invincible in the world.

   After breaking through, Li Qing tried to run the Lotus Sutra again, breathing out spiritual energy.

  He frowned slightly: "The speed of cultivation has dropped again. Although it can still be improved slowly, if you want to reach the fourth level of refining Qi, it will take at least thirty years."

   "Once I break through the fourth level of Qi refining, I will have nowhere to go."

   "Is it because of the aura of heaven and earth?"

  The aura in the human world is thin, but the aura in the world of cultivating immortals is abundant, Li Qing has always thought so.

  "We must speed up the search for the world of cultivating immortals. The power of the White Lotus Sect alone is still too weak. Maybe we can borrow some intelligence from the Dagan Kingdom. Emperor Tianshou is also looking for immortals by digging ancient tombs to find corpses."

   "The Bailian Sect has investigated the ancient tombs of Baiyue River and Lancang Mountain for two years, but we still haven't found much clues. You might as well go to the capital of Dagan first, meet old people from the past, and add some sacrifices to Rong Ku and Ran Bing."

   "I don't know if Gong Yue and Zheng Chun are dead..."

  Leaving Bailian Island, Li Qing rode a white horse and sang in the secluded forest just as he did when he left the capital more than 20 years ago.

  This time, Li Qing's face was no longer immature, and more years of weather had been seen on Li Qing's face. Even if ordinary people saw him, they would call out: "What a master!"

  …

  The fifth year of Tianshou, the ninth day of October.

  The capital.

  Hundred miles of Beppu.

   On this day, the Baili family was full of people, and it was very lively.

  The hero of Baili, famous in the five prefectures of Gyeonggi, not only won the reputation of the common people for robbing evil and helping the poor, but also a plaque bestowed by the emperor, which read: Yi Bo Yuntian Baili Flying Eagle!

   In the past ten years of the list of knights in the five states of Gyeonggi, the heroes of Baili ranked first.

  The ninth day of the 10th lunar month is also the full moon day of the hero of the hundred miles, the famous people in the capital heard about it, and all of them came to celebrate.

  Ten years ago, the hero of Baili married the heroine of Mingying from Wuliangguan. They gave birth to four sons in ten years, and only this year gave birth to a daughter.

  The heroes of Baili were very happy, and specially held a full moon wine for Yaonu, and named it Baili Mingyan.

  However, on this festive day, only the hero Baili was in the courtyard to entertain the guests, and the heroine Mingying was not seen, which inevitably made a few people suspicious.

  Nvxia Mingying has always been hospitable and eclectic.

  Someone asked: "Hero Baili, how come the heroine Mingying is gone? Is there something wrong between the couple?"

  Baili Feiying smiled back: "It's nothing, Madam has important guests to see, so I can't come out today."

   Someone exclaimed: "I heard that the hero Baili worshiped a congenital master as his teacher in the early years, but the heroine Mingying is entertaining the congenital master?"

  Baili Flying Eagle replied meaningfully: "You are half right."

  Backyard of Baili’s house, under the vine.

  Two women stood side by side, one with a plump body, holding a one-month-old baby girl in her arms;

   Mingying said: "Junior Sister Ling really wants to leave Beijing to find a master?"

  Ling Jiao nodded: "Master Ruoshui has been away from Beijing for 12 years. The two factories in the east and the west and the masters of the rivers and lakes have been looking for him. He has never heard of him. He should have left Daqian country early."

   "The holy empress told me not long ago that there seems to be an innate master named Ruoshui out of the Bingfeng Kingdom in the north. I thought it was Master Ruoshui, and I planned to go there to find it."

   "Ice Maple Country?" Mingying said in surprise, "It's a long way, and it may take half a year to travel alone."

   "It doesn't matter, I'm always looking for it." Ling Jiao said lightly.

   "Junior Sister Ling, why bother? Back then, the master said that you were not beautiful and that you looked like a man. It was just a joke." Mingying sighed.

Ling Jiao, on the other hand, revealed a hint of arrogance: "But Master Ruoshui actually let me be a female **** in the cold palace, it's really unbearable. Now that I've achieved a great achievement in Zen meditation, I've already cultivated the glory into the innate, and I've even cultivated the magic of immortality. I want to argue with Master Ruoshui."

   "Hey." Mingying could only sigh helplessly, "If the master suddenly returns to the capital, you won't see the master and don't say it, and you will go to the Ice Maple Kingdom in vain. Besides, can the holy queen let you leave the capital?"

   "It was the Holy Queen who asked me to go. The Holy Queen said that there seems to be a fairy family inheritance in Bingfeng Kingdom. When I was looking for Master Ruoshui, I also looked for the fairy family inheritance by the way." Ling Jiao said.

   "The Queen won't lie to you, will she?" Mingying asked suspiciously in a low voice.

   "Whatever, it's better to have news than to look for it blindly. If Master Ruoshui is obsessed with immortality, Bingfeng Kingdom really has a fairy family inheritance, and he will definitely go."

  …

  Coincidences are everywhere in the world.

  October 15th, six days after Ling Jiao went north, Li Qing entered Beijing on a white horse.

   The setting of the early stage, middle stage, and late stage of the Qi Refining Realm has been modified, directly referring to the first, second, and third floors.
