Chapter 233: Ascension Conference (Part 1)
Li Qing was so excited about this jade ruyi with strange engravings that he couldn't help but continue to play with it.
For the time being, he couldn't figure out how the spiritual patterns in this jade ruyi were engraved, so he wanted to try out the effects of the spiritual patterns engraved in this jade ruyi.
With this thought, a trace of spiritual power burst out from Li Qing's fingertips and soon penetrated into the jade ruyi.
Buzz!
With the infusion of spiritual power, the jade ruyi trembled slightly, and it actually directly restrained Li Qing's breath.
This feeling reminded Li Qing of the breath-retaining talisman, but it was obvious that the ability of this jade ruyi to conceal its breath was much stronger than the breath-retaining talisman.
With just a slight urging, he felt as if he had a sense of isolation from the world, and he couldn't even sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
"Not bad, I'll do this deal."
Just when Li Qing showed a satisfied smile and was about to agree, he actually found that the simple and honest young man had disappeared!
Li Qing looked at the empty figure in front of his stall in astonishment, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
This young man actually sneaked away while he was immersed in studying the jade ruyi just now, and he didn't even notice it.
The low-grade magic weapon that Li Qing handed to him just now, the Jintai Seal, disappeared with the other party.
For a moment, Li Qing didn't know whether to smile bitterly or curse. He wanted to agree to this transaction.
Although from the market value, the Jintai Seal that can be used as an offensive weapon against the enemy is definitely higher than the jade ruyi that can only restrain the breath, but Li Qing is very satisfied with this jade ruyi with strange refining methods.
"I know that in the world of cultivating immortals, what is honest and simple is just a pretense to deceive people."
Li Qing complained with a black line on his head, thinking that the young man just now was not honest at all.
Fortunately, the other magic weapons on the stall were still there, so Li Qing couldn't get angry, so he just regarded it as a normal transaction.
After comforting himself, Li Qing's heart moved again, and he couldn't help but ponder.
"This young man was only in the early stage of Qi Refining, but he was able to slip away without anyone noticing under my nose."
You should know that Li Qing's consciousness has improved a lot now, and his perception is quite sharp. Even so, he couldn't find that the other party slipped away.
What does this mean?
Soon, Li Qing whispered to himself:
"This kid should have another magic weapon with similar functions, which also restrains the breath, so he can sneak away while I am obsessed with playing with the jade ruyi, so that I can't find it."
This also indirectly shows that the ability of this jade ruyi to restrain the breath should be much stronger than he imagined.
"With this jade ruyi, plus the breath-restraining talisman, I am afraid that even the cultivators in the foundation-building period may not be able to detect my existence."
In any case, this transaction is at least not a loss, but the other party's behavior makes Li Qing quite uncomfortable.
Because of this incident, Li Qing immediately learned a lesson. He thought that he must not feel at ease just because this is Tianhe Market. Who knows what kind of loss he will suffer in the future.
"The world is going downhill, and people's hearts are not as good as they used to be."
In the next few months, Li Qing cleaned up all the sundries in his cave and put them all in the storage bag.
Li Qing also used the wood sealing method to carefully and properly collect the Jade Sophora japonica sapling planted in the dark room medicinal field, and no accidents happened.
During this period, Li Qing communicated and discussed with Ye Feng once, and they both agreed that the upcoming Ascension Conference was the best time for Ye Feng to find a suitable body to take over.
After the discussion, a wisp of Ye Feng's soul fell into silence again. Obviously, every conversation was a burden for him.
In his current state, basically only by keeping himself in a dormant state can he keep his soul alive.
But even so, his soul has become extremely weak now.
Li Qing even had some doubts. Even if he found a suitable body, the probability of his success in taking over another body would be very small.
"Alas, it seems that taking over another body is not that easy."
If it weren't for this little green bottle, with Ye Feng's cultivation in the Qi Refining Stage, it would be impossible for him to keep his soul. He would only die.
After packing up everything, Li Qing walked away from the cave where he had lived for nearly a year and a half.
It was a bit reluctant to leave a place with such rich spiritual energy.
"Let's go. With my current cultivation, living in such a good cave is a bit extravagant."
He didn't plan to renew the lease. Although he still had enough spiritual stones, it would definitely not be worth it to use them to rent a cave.
Good steel should be used on the blade. As a blacksmith, he understood this principle best.
A few days after leaving the cave, with the temporary increase in the price of the inn from three spiritual stones to five spiritual stones, the Tianhe Sect's Immortal Ascension Conference was finally about to begin!
The Ascension Conference lasted for seven days, and the flow of people in Tianhe Market also reached its peak!
In the square area where casual cultivators often set up stalls, if you go a little later, you will often face the embarrassing situation of having all the stalls taken.
These days, even Li Qing has given up setting up a stall to sell magical artifacts. It's not that he doesn't want to earn more spiritual stones while the market is hot, but it's because the stalls are too difficult to occupy.
"Forget it, do something else during this time."
Li Qing sighed, and then began to pay attention to things like scripture inheritance.
He plans to collect some methods related to layout restrictions, as well as some incomplete weapon refining inheritance.
Apart from anything else, he had to put more thought into the various treasures in the secret realm. This was definitely not a loss.
In fact, this thing is not as precious as the four immortal cultivation techniques of alchemy, array, talisman, and it is not difficult to buy.
Finally, he bought a copy of "The True Explanation of the Forbidden" in front of an array master's stall.
"So that's it. The formation is developed based on the restriction. However, the formation must be more profound and powerful. When deploying it, we must pay attention to the right time and place, and use various rare and exotic materials."
Li Qing whispered to himself while turning the pages of the book in his hand, his eyes shining brightly.
As he was flipping through and moving around, a childish voice suddenly rang out.
"Senior, would you like to buy a copy of the information about the Immortal Ascension Conference and learn about the strong competitors in advance?" A girl holding a pile of brochures walked through the crowd, staring with a pair of clear eyes, expectantly. Look at Li Qing.
However, Li Qing shook his head and said: "No need, I don't plan to participate in the Ascension Conference."
"Hey, seniors, please stay. Even if you don't attend the Immortal Ascension Conference, I suggest you buy one. Later, some casinos will open handicap. Buy one to understand more. You can also place bets on who can become immortals later. success."
Listening to the girl's eager voice, Li Qing raised his eyebrows and became somewhat interested.
But it's not to place bets, but to learn about some of the talented people participating in the Immortal Ascension Conference this time.
Seeing that Li Qing seemed to be interested, the girl took advantage of the situation and said, "My information is very complete. I have written down all the popular seeds for immortality, such as this disciple of the Shi family named Shi Nantian."
In the end, Li Qing took out three spirit stones and bought this information.
I have to say that this information is indeed very detailed, even a little too detailed. It actually lists the basic information of hundreds of monks in the Qi Refining Stage, including their cultivation level and the magic weapons they are good at using. Everything is recorded. Come down and get it all!
"Shi Nantian is at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage. He may break through to the ninth level at any time. Even many Tianhe Sect disciples cannot keep up with his cultivation. He is good at using two flying swords and is a strong contender among the top ten in the Immortal Ascension Conference. !”
"Xiao Wuya is at the eighth level of the Qi refining stage. His body skills are extremely agile. He carries a pair of extremely lethal gold and silver wheels. Although they are middle-grade magic weapons, when combined, their lethality is no less than that of high-grade magic weapons. !”
"Huo Lingyu, seventh level of Qi refining stage, good at using illusions"
"."
Seeing such complete and detailed information, Li Qing was a little dumbfounded, thinking who was it that could produce such a complete information, it was really an exaggeration!
And judging from Shi Nantian's introduction, the authenticity of such information is quite high, and it is not made up randomly.
At least based on Li Qing's understanding of Shi Nantian, he was indeed good at using two flying swords. He had witnessed it with his own eyes.
After looking through the information, Li Qing came to the Wind Gathering Tower and skillfully ordered a pot of spiritual brew for himself.
While taking a sip, he continued to read this piece of information about the people who participated in the Ascension Conference.
After a long time, Li Qing sighed: "There are so many talented people in the world of immortality. A conference to ascend to immortality has attracted so many influential figures."
A drinker on the other side responded with a smile:
"Hahaha, who says it's not the case, and this is just a figure on the surface. In every previous Immortal Ascension Conference, there would always be one or two dark horses that emerged, and were powerful without being noticed. Defeat all opponents and become the top ten seed.”
Soon, many monks in the restaurant became interested and began to talk about the situation of the Immortal Ascension Conference.
"That's very good. I heard that during this Immortal Ascension Conference, there may be monks with Heavenly Spiritual Roots showing up!"
"Hiss! Tianlinggen? How is this possible? People with such qualifications do not need to participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference and can directly join the Tianhe Sect without any problem!"
"Hey, I have heard about this. It is said that this Tianlinggen has long been a close disciple of a Supreme Elder of the Tianhe Sect. This time he participated in the Immortal Ascension Conference just for training."
"So that's it. For him, such an important occasion is indeed here to practice."
Listening to the buzz in his ears, Li Qing also turned to the last page of the information about the Immortal Ascension Conference.
The last line is actually a warm reminder: "The world of immortality is changing all the time. This information can only be used as a reference. Do not use it to measure a person's full strength."
Closing the booklet, Li Qing mentally recalled the trade fair he had participated in.
Someone had mentioned this Tianlinggen thing before, but I didn't expect it to be spread now. It seems that it is indeed not groundless.
"Can such a huge sect do such a poor job of keeping secrets secret?"
Li Qing frowned and had such a question in his heart.
