Chapter 219: Retreat

As secret information was revealed, this trade fair was finally coming to an end.

The ever-burning lamp with a weak flame flickered, and the old man in the foundation-building period arranged for everyone to leave.

After a long time, Li Qing left the dark room and found the cultivator who sublet the cave.

"Follow me!"

It was not far away, because this secret trading area was located under a cave in a sacred mountain. However, in less than half a quarter of an hour, Li Qing followed and flew to a hill on a suspended island.

This mountain is not big, but it has three caves, of which the cave rented by Li Qing is on the far left.

I saw a cave carved out by a sharp weapon on the mountainside, and some ordinary green plants were planted at the entrance of the cave. However, in this seemingly beautiful environment, there are many restrictions around it.

"Daoyou Erniu, I will leave these restrictions that block the detection of spiritual consciousness and shield the breath to you. You don't have to worry about being disturbed by others during your daily practice."

"But you must also remember that although the owners of the other two caves rarely come out, they must not be provoked at will. One of them is a senior in the foundation-building period!"

Hearing this, Li Qing's heart trembled slightly, and then he looked in the direction pointed by the other party.

I saw that the cave built on the top of the mountain was quite magnificent, and all kinds of restrictions were also covered at the entrance of the cave, as if to keep people away from it.

It can be seen at a glance that this is a person with a lonely nature, and he should not like to make friends with others.

In this regard, Li Qing is naturally happy to be quiet.

"The other cave is also owned by a mysterious cultivator who often likes to tinker with strange things in the cave. Sometimes he doesn't leave the cave for several months."

"In short, I've lived here for almost three years, and I can count the number of times I've seen these two people on one hand."

After listening to the introduction, Li Qing closed his eyes slightly, feeling the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him. He was already very satisfied with the environment here.

"Not bad, I'm very satisfied!"

After the words fell, they soon found the disciple of Tianhe Sect who was responsible for renting the cave to the outside world, and signed the sublease spiritual contract under his witness.

Li Qing carefully read it, and after confirming that there was no problem, he also left his own breath on the spiritual contract.

After doing all this, he smiled on the surface, but his heart was constantly dripping with blood.

Nine hundred spiritual stones and a medium-grade magic weapon flew away from his hands, and at the same time, the other party handed the forbidden token for entering the cave to Li Qing.

So far, Li Qing has a place in Tianhefang City.

"Haha, then I'll take my leave, Fellow Daoist Erniu, we'll see each other again in the future!"

Li Qing held the token in his hand, watched the other party's back as he left, and then came to the cave with satisfaction.

"These restrictions are enough to prevent the exploration of spiritual consciousness. Even if I travel to the polar night world in the future, others will not be able to find me!"

Continue to walk in, the inside was empty, except for a few stone tables and stone stools, nothing was left.

"Not bad, not bad, it can be regarded as moving to a new home!"

Li Qing muttered to himself while walking around.

The structure of the cave is very simple, with a hall and three dark rooms. Of course, if Li Qing needs it, he can also dig out a few more dark rooms by himself.

The light inside was dim, and Li Qing directly took out the night pearls brought from the secular world from the storage bag and inlaid them on the wall.

A little light shone out, and the surroundings suddenly became bright.

"There is a ready-made medicinal garden, which is pretty good. It saves me a lot of effort. I can plant the jade locust tree spirit seeds directly."

Another dark room was surrounded by a circle of wooden fences, with a pile of soil in the middle. It seemed that it was dug very deep.

Li Qing casually released a water purification spell to soak the soil, and then took out the jade locust tree spirit seeds obtained from the trade fair.

This seed is dark brown and similar in size to a walnut, but the surface is very round and full, and it is full of vigorous vitality. It is an active spirit seed.

"Grow up quickly, my magic power depends on you!" Li Qing muttered, dug a deep pit in the soil, and then buried the jade locust tree spirit seeds.

After carefully filling the soil, Li Qing released a water purification spell again to thoroughly soak the spirit seeds and soil together.

Although he didn't know much about the art of spiritual planting, he still knew some basic common sense.

After doing all this, he clapped his hands and came to another dark room.

"Roar!"

A thunderous tiger roar resounded, and Fan Tong, who had been in the beast bag for a long time, finally saw the light of day again.

Although the beast bag was specially made for monsters, the space inside was small and limited after all, and it would definitely feel uncomfortable if you stayed in it for a long time.

Li Qing patted Fan Tong's head apologetically, and then said: "Okay, okay, I'm sorry for inconvenienced you during this period, and this house will be yours in the future."

"Aohou!"

As if he also felt the abundant spiritual energy between the surrounding heaven and earth, Fan Tong immediately howled a few times, looking quite satisfied.

Before, in the small courtyard of the Liu family, they, the casual cultivators, could only enjoy the edge of the second-level spiritual vein, and the spiritual energy was at most equivalent to that of ordinary first-level spiritual veins.

Now, this is the cave area of ​​Tianhefang City. Under the influence of the spirit gathering array, a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathered from the ground veins below.

Such a rich spiritual energy is already higher than the central area of ​​the second-level spiritual vein.

Not to mention the glutton, even Li Qing is extremely satisfied.

Staying in this environment, he feels that every cell in his body seems to be wandering in the ocean of spiritual energy, very comfortable and cozy.

"Practicing here is more than twice the result with half the effort!" Li Qing sighed, and finally understood why the Tianhe Sect rented these caves so expensively.

It's really not simple!

It can only be said that the high price has its reasons, not only reflected in the practice, but also has certain benefits for his research on refining.

He needs to use his own spiritual power to temper the magic weapon and engrave the spiritual pattern, and if he is in such a place with abundant spiritual energy, his own spiritual power will recover faster.

In this way, he can also refine more magic weapons.

"When you are in such a treasure land, you can't waste time!"

In the next year and a half, he has to make reasonable arrangements and try to maximize the use of the rich spiritual energy in this cave.

"I spent 1,200 spiritual stones at the trade fair. I only have more than 1,600 spiritual stones left, which is enough for me."

"I have to repair the spiritual boat for Daoist Jiuxiao later. Whether it succeeds or not, I will try to complete it within half a month."

Li Qing muttered to himself in the cave while thinking about the next plan.

"I have rented such a good cave, so I must put the stall aside for the time being. After that, I will practice hard in the cave for a year and a half to improve my cultivation and refining skills."

Soon, Li Qing had a general idea of ​​the time arrangement in his heart.

The first is to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining. After reaching this level, his magic power will be more powerful. After that, he will focus on refining skills and the progress will be faster.

In addition, he is moving towards the level of middle-grade magic tools. Apart from anything else, he has mastered the refining diagram of the water-wrapped net, and he must refine it no matter what.

After that, combined with the experience of refining the Water Wrap Net, the Wandering Dragon Dagger will be tempered and inscribed, and it will be completely refined into a real mid-grade magic weapon.

"As long as the Wandering Dragon Dagger and the Water Wrap Net are successfully refined, I can almost be considered a weapon refiner capable of refining mid-grade magic weapons!"

At this level, his ability to earn spirit stones will increase a lot, plus he plans to go to the Polar Night World to capture strange beasts and put them in the Colosseum to fight to earn spirit stones.

It can be predicted that his ability to earn spirit stones will be even stronger!

After listing the plans one by one, Li Qing left his cave, leaving only the rice bucket inside to look after the house.

"Daoyou Erniu, this is my spirit boat. Before, because of the cave of Lingmiao Taoist, it has experienced a chase, and many spirit patterns on it have been damaged."

Jiuxiao said as he took out his own spirit boat.

This is an ice-blue spirit boat, about the same size as a fishing boat, and it is not a big problem for three or four people to sit in it.

It can be seen that when refining this spiritual boat, many kinds of precious spiritual materials were used, and with the various spiritual patterns engraved in it, it has already had the power of a top-grade magic weapon.

Li Qing's eyes lit up, while he stroked the spiritual boat with his hand, and explored some traces of spiritual patterns on it.

It is very good, definitely from the hands of a famous master.

The other party was able to find a refiner of this level to refine a spiritual boat for him, and it is expected that the origin must be extremely extraordinary.

However, Li Qing was a little hesitant and hesitated.

"Fellow Daoist Jiuxiao, your spiritual boat is quite extraordinary. If you want to completely repair it, to be honest with you, I am not very sure, and it will take a long time."

"If you are worried about wasting time, it is better to find the refiner who originally refined this spiritual boat to repair it."

Li Qing told the other party his thoughts sincerely. He felt that if he came to repair it, it would probably be a waste of his time. It would be better to give the other party two hundred spiritual stones and seize the time to practice in seclusion, which is better than anything else!

But Jiuxiao shook his head and said, "Daoyou, how long will it take you?"

Li Qing raised his eyebrows and wanted to say half a month, but seeing the other party's behavior, he didn't seem to care much about time.

So he immediately took back his original words and said, "It will take at least half a year, or even longer. If you don't want to wait, I can return the remaining 200 spirit stones to you now."

The next moment, Jiuxiao said loudly, "One year, I will give you one year. It happens that I am going to retreat for a while. I will come to you to get the spirit boat after one year. If I fail, you can give me another 200 spirit stones. How about it?"

Hearing this, Li Qing thought, this guy seems to have gained a lot of benefits in Lingmiao Cave Mansion. It seems that he plans to spend a year to digest these things. It seems that he doesn't plan to go anywhere in this year.

But since the other party said so, Li Qing naturally has no reason to refuse.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

"One year later, you come to the cave area, the cave on the left side of Xiaoxi Mountain to find me!"

In this way, the two signed a spiritual contract, and then Li Qing took the other party's spiritual boat back to the cave again.

"If it's one year later, I have a good chance of successfully repairing this spiritual boat."

Li Qing pondered for a moment, then put it away and sat down cross-legged.

He took out a branch of spiritual wood as thick as his arm, which was the branch of the Jade Sophora Tree he had bought from Jiuxiao before!

"This Jade Sophora Tree is at least eighty years old, but it's a pity that it's not the main trunk. If it was the main trunk, maybe I could directly cultivate the Treasure Wood Refining Body Technique to perfection."

After the voice fell, Li Qing shook his head and smiled, thinking that he was too greedy.

Cutting off the main trunk of the spiritual wood is tantamount to killing the chicken to get the eggs, and ordinary people would never do this.

He was able to get a branch as thick as his arm this time, which was actually quite good.

If it was really the main trunk of the spiritual wood, he would have to spend a lot of spiritual stones at that time.

Soon, Li Qing threw all these thoughts out of his mind, and then his eyes focused and adjusted his own state.

The next moment, he operated the secret technique of "Treasure Wood Refining Body Technique"

Through this secret method, he could sense the rich vitality contained in this section of the Jade Sophora japonica branch, and there were quite a lot of spiritual wood essences, far exceeding the spiritual willow branch he had used in the Liu family.

"Yes, these hundreds of spiritual stones are not a waste!"

As soon as the voice fell, Li Qing began to absorb the spiritual wood energy in this section of the Jade Sophora japonica branch to strengthen his body.

I saw a wisp of invisible and colorless vitality constantly surging out from the branch in front of Li Qing, and then absorbed into his body through his mouth and nose.

After these spiritual wood essences were taken into Li Qing's body, he clearly felt that his physical body and rich blood had ushered in a long-awaited growth!

After reaching the martial arts master, his physical body has reached the extreme that can be improved by ordinary means.

Now, his physical body has finally begun to become stronger again!
