The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

Upon hearing Zhou Qingming's invitation, Li Qing looked at him with a strange gaze.

He thought of Wang Kuohai's World Escort Agency, which led to the destruction of his family.

Wang Kuohai himself also disappeared, and Li Qing speculated that the other party might have escaped by chance.

Because during the final interrogation of Wen Tianquan, the testimony obtained showed that they originally intended to kill Li Qing, as the Blood Spirit Lord judged him to be a dangerous individual. But in order to conceal their true purpose, they chose to silence the entire escort agency. The one who acted was a disciple under the Blood Spirit Lord.

Unfortunately, they missed the main target and Wang Kuohai.

Thinking of this, he quickly shook his head and said, "I won't go to your house, to avoid repeating the same mistakes."

Zhou Qingming did not understand, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Repeating the same mistakes? What does that mean, Brother Qingshan?"

Li Qing quickly waved his hand, "It's nothing, you don't need to think too much."

"Alright, let's part ways here, we'll see each other again when we have the chance!"

After speaking, Li Qing had already stepped onto the deck like a wisp of smoke, blending into the crowd, leaving Zhou Qingming behind.

At this moment, he had already used the Lunar Shadow Art, silently blending into the city.

Sanchuan City is a very large city.

The population is slightly less than Jade City, with about 300,000 people.

Because it is close to Pujiang, the commercial trade is also very strong, resulting in an unusually prosperous area.

Li Qing wandered around the city and found that although it appeared very prosperous on the surface, there were also beggars with a desolate look in the city.

The common people in the city seemed to be living not too well.

A hint of contemplation appeared in his eyes, "The wealth here is only for the middle and upper class, the lower class still lives poorly."

"In such a prosperous place, without the support of the lower class, it will turn to ashes in the event of a war."

"And it's not far from Jade City, only a two or three days' journey."

"It will definitely be affected once a war breaks out in Jade City."

"Not a place to stay for long."

With a decision in mind, Li Qing planned to purchase some supplies and then rest for the night before continuing on his journey the next day.

With this in mind, he purchased some dry cakes, as well as preserved meat and spices.

After wrapping them in oiled paper, he put them all in a package.

He found a decent inn and checked in directly.

Sitting by the window and enjoying his meal, he still had seven or eight hundred taels of silver on him, enough to live for many years.

Watching the bustling street, Li Qing silently observed.

His spell, Sensing Myriad Paths, would occasionally produce slight changes, reminding him of passing cultivators.

Within a radius of about ten feet, as long as there was Essence Qi present, he would sense it.

He had already seen at least five cultivators passing by from the street where he was.

Upon careful observation, he discovered a difference in Sanchuan City. There was no gathering of Essence Qi in the sky here.

Or rather, all the Essence Qi seemed to be absorbed by an invisible force.

And this invisible force was located in several different directions within the city.

The east, south, west, north, and center were all absorbing the Essence Qi from the sky, causing the Essence Qi in the sky to be unusually thin.

With a pensive expression, he thought, "It seems that Sanchuan City is different from Jade City. At least 90% of the Essence Qi here is being absorbed."

"It means that there may be a true orthodox sect here."

"They have established a formation or a mysterious Grotto-Heaven that can gather a large amount of Essence Qi."

This world also has formations and talismans.

Just like the military formation Wang Jie displayed, it is also a type of formation.

He had seen jade talismans used by others, which are a type of talisman.

This world is also extremely prosperous, containing countless mysteries.

Li Qing had no intention of exploring, as curiosity often kills the cat.

Especially in this Immortal Cultivation World, the danger is exceptionally high.

In the blink of an eye, evening arrived, and the sun had already set in the sky.

Li Qing sat by the window, eating continuously from noon until evening, his mouth never stopped.

His stomach was constantly digesting the food, absorbing the Essence Qi within, and increasing the limit of his Essence Qi.

For the whole day, his Essence Qi had increased by 0.5%.

And he had spent a surprising 30 taels of silver, indulging in all kinds of expensive food as if it were free.

He pondered, "Eating such lavish food every day can increase the speed of enhancing Essence Qi."

"Even without Essence Qi stones, in at most 180 days, I can maximize the limit of my Essence Qi."

"This is indeed a good and stable path."

"Much faster than ordinary cultivators."

"This is the power of the 'All-Encompassing Heaven and Earth Mortal Dao Technique,' a comprehensive organ cultivation method that enhances digestive and absorptive capabilities."

A hint of joy appeared on his face, and he felt slightly relieved.

"Ah, perhaps my path to immortality in the future will rely solely on eating, steadily advancing and proving the Dao through eating!"

His gaze fell on the table full of leftovers, and he furrowed his brow.

"Desires of the mouth and belly corrupt my Dao heart!"

Just as Li Qing was muttering to himself, suddenly, he furrowed his brow.

His heart skipped a beat as he looked into the distance.

Outside Sanchuan City, there seemed to be a fluctuation of Essence Qi.

The fluctuation of Essence Qi was extremely chaotic, emitting colorful lights in the sky, as if there were hundreds or even thousands of people.

A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, "What is that? It seems like many cultivators have gathered."

Those Essence Qi were very unusual, condensed Essence Qi.

A sense of curiosity arose, tempting Li Qing.

"Should I go take a look? But it might be dangerous?"

"This is the Immortal Cultivation World, and curiosity can lead to great trouble."

"But I am so curious!"

At this moment, Li Qing was caught in a dilemma, feeling as if his curiosity was scratching at his heart and lungs.

He stood up and sat back down, his eyes constantly gazing into the distance.

The Essence Qi there was chaotic, but there was no aura of death, so it didn't seem dangerous no matter how he looked at it.

"If there's no loss of blood Essence Qi, it at least proves that no one has died there."

"If no one has died, then it's not that dangerous."

"But it just appeared, I'll observe a little longer."

"If there's still no danger by then, I'll go take a look."

He was truly curious about why so many cultivators had gathered.

He felt that it might be a gathering of sects, or even possibly the "Hundred Gates Alley" of Sanchuan City.

This was the only gathering he thought was possible.

In the blink of an eye, it was midnight, and the Essence Qi in the distance had not dissipated at all, but there was also no blood Essence Qi, confirming that it was a safe place.

"I can basically confirm it's safe. I'll go take a look around the outskirts first."

Li Qing turned into a shadow, using the technique of concealing all things, and quietly left Sanchuan City.

The night obscured everything, but it couldn't hide Li Qing's sight.

The gathering place of Essence Qi was not far from Sanchuan City, only about a mile away.

Li Qing stopped a hundred meters away from the gathering of Essence Qi, gazing at the scene.

It turned out to be a market in the wilderness, with figures flashing among it.

Li Qing's eyes were sharp, and upon careful observation, his pupils slightly contracted.

"That is..."
