Chapter 165 Qingling Territory

In the Valley of Eternal Life, there is an island in the center of the big lake.

This place is shrouded in fog all year round and looks very mysterious from the outside.

This island is the center of the Liu family's second-level spiritual energy. The spiritual energy is quite rich, much richer than the three areas where casual cultivators live.

The highest-ranking members of the Liu family live here, and enjoying the rich spiritual energy here all year round is of great benefit to the monks.

At this time, a mysterious aura was revealed, causing the fog around the island to ripple slightly.

"Liu Yun, you did a good job this time. If Yue'er can use this to complete the mission of the sect and accumulate enough contributions, then it is very possible to achieve foundation building!"

Liu Yun, who had just caused a sensation by taking out the Ningling Pills at the trade fair, had successfully sold three Ningling Pills.

With a smile on his face, Liu Yun clasped his fists towards a cave in front and said, "Don't worry, Master, with Miss Hanyue's talent, as long as she can get a Foundation Establishment Pill, it will definitely be a sure thing to achieve the realm of Foundation Establishment!"

"When the time comes for our Liu family to add another monk in the foundation-building stage, our status will be even more stable!"

In a cave on the island ahead, the voice came out again:

"Well, I hope so, but I heard that the Flying Eagle Thief is a bit tricky, and I don't know if the casual cultivators you picked can complete this task."

"If it weren't for the fact that the secret technique I practice is at a critical stage, I would have wanted to go and meet the so-called Flying Eagle Thief in person."

Liu Yun said respectfully: "Don't worry, Master, that group of tribulation cultivators are only in the late stage of Qi refining. It's not necessarily how high their combat power is. After all, they always pick on lone cultivators every time."

"The really difficult part is how to find them. It is said that these people are smarter than rabbits and will run away as soon as there is any sign of trouble!"

"The three casual cultivators I selected this time are all older and experienced people. With the magical weapons given to them by the family before departure, they will definitely be able to catch them."

The head of the Liu family felt relieved when he heard this: "Yes, not bad."

After going around and around, the trade fair came to its second day.

Li Qing did not dress up in disguise this time, but walked out of the courtyard in his true appearance.

Before setting off, he glanced at the direction of Old Man Zhou's courtyard with complicated eyes, then sighed deeply and rushed towards the place where the trade fair was.

Yes, Old Man Zhou, who had been stuck on the sixth level of Qi Refining for many years, successfully bought a Spirit Condensing Pill yesterday.

In the past few days, Old Man Zhou must have been adjusting himself, trying to keep himself in the best condition, and then took the Ningling Pill to give it a try.

To be honest, Li Qing didn't know whether he should pray for this old man and wish him a smooth progress into the later stage of Qi refining.

Because once the promotion is really successful, it means leaving the Liu family to encircle and suppress the notorious group of flying eagle thieves.

After getting along with each other for this period of time, Li Qing actually knew a lot. Most of the casual cultivators who worked as helpers in the Liu family actually had very little combat experience and had rarely fought with others.

Even when it comes to fighting, their experience is not necessarily as rich as that of Li Qing, the master of human martial arts.

Although there is only one cultivator in the late stage of Qi refining among the Flying Eagle Thieves, looking at it from another perspective, just relying on a cultivator in the late stage of Qi refining to dare to be a tribulation cultivator, such a person must have something to rely on.

"Oh, I hope God will bless Mr. Zhou."

Li Qing sighed again, and then came to the area of ​​the casual cultivator trade fair.

Today is the second day of the trade fair. The flow of people has dropped slightly, but it is still bustling with people.

Li Qing thought he had arrived very early, but he didn't expect that the stall was still fully occupied.

After spending a long time, Li Qing finally found a stall that was still vacant.

Seeing this scene, Li Qing immediately squeezed over, then quickly took out a large bear skin and placed it directly on his stall.

The thing he wants to sell is the skin of the first-level early-stage bear demon. After selling it, he can call it a day and buy other things he wants with the spirit stones he got.

"Hey, little brother, did you hunt a bear demon alone?"

A stall owner next to him looked at the bear skin on Li Qing's stall with surprise in his eyes.

Li Qing sat down on the ground nonchalantly and said with a smile: "Hahaha, it's just good luck. I accidentally met such a bear monster in the forest a year ago."

"It's not easy. The texture of your bear's skin looks like that of a rock bear. The skin of this kind of monster is the hardest, so it's not that easy to kill." The stall owner next to Li Qing made a rather impressive move. Professional review.

This made Li Qing a little surprised, and he raised his eyebrows, thinking that what this person said was indeed right.

When I went to hunt the bear, I really put a lot of effort into it. If I hadn't been there to help, I might not have been able to succeed.

"It's just a fluke!" Li Qing said modestly.

After saying that, Li Qing looked at the things on the other side's stall and couldn't help showing a strange expression.

It turned out that they were all things that aphrodisiac and strengthen the body.

"Hahahaha, I made my little brother laugh. In the early years, I was overly obsessed with men and women, which led to a loss of money. Later, I slowly started to delve into this art."

"How about it? Do you want to buy some deer antlers? For this thing, I have been tracking a group of wild deer since winter, and I didn't get it until spring!"

"They are all good things!"

Listening to the introduction of the stall owner next to him, Li Qing shook his head with a wry smile and declined the other party's kindness.

What a joke, he is a martial arts master in the world, with a body full of vigor and blood like the sea, how could he need such a thing.

Compared with many cultivators with weak bodies, Li Qing is not bragging, he will never need this thing in his life.

Seeing that Li Qing really had no interest, the stall owner next to him was too lazy to introduce it.

And Li Qing himself leisurely took out a small book, sat on the stall and read it with relish.

It was the bonus he bought for the talisman yesterday - "Qingling Xiuxianjie Weiwen"

People came and went in the trading market, but Li Qing's mind was quickly immersed in the contents recorded in this small book.

It tells about the various geographical customs and strange stories of this Xiuxianjie, as well as various major events that have occurred in the past few thousand years.

It turns out that the area where Li Qing is located is called Qingling Territory. There are four human settlements here, namely Liangguo, Fengguo, grassland, and Muguo in the extreme south, which are well known to Li Qing.

The terrain of Qingling Territory is very special. It is surrounded by three terrains that are difficult for ordinary people to cross in four directions.

The extreme west is a huge abyss, called the Great Abyss. It is rumored that it was caused by the battle between powerful cultivators in ancient times. The real reason is unknown.

If you want to cross this Great Abyss, you must have at least the cultivation level of the Jindan stage, because the spiritual energy above the Great Abyss is not only thin, but also slowly devours the spiritual power in the cultivator's body. It is very strange and is called one of the forbidden places of life in Qingling.

And to the east, beyond Liangguo, there is an endless ocean. Even cultivators in the Jindan stage have to sigh in despair when they see it.

Looking south, through Mu Country, there is a bone-chilling snow mountain range. This snow mountain is even more exaggerated than the Xiaocuiling of Feng Country. Several peaks are towering into the clouds, like a ridge between heaven and earth.

If you want to leave Qingling Domain, you can only go north. The north is a vast grassland. Although it is also difficult to cross, it can be said to be the only way out compared to the Jedi in the other three directions.

As long as the cultivation reaches the foundation building stage, or even the late stage of Qi Refining, riding a spirit horse and spending a few months, you will have the opportunity to cross and enter other domains.

The author of this book once tried to go north and cross the grassland to other cultivation areas, but the grassland was too vast, and he did not see the edge after two months of full effort.

The spiritual energy along the way was very thin, and even the spiritual stones in the storage bag were empty, so he had no choice but to return the same way.

Because of the dangerous terrain on all sides of Qingling Territory, there is little contact with the immortal cultivation world in other regions, and this region has always been ruled by four powerful immortal forces.

They are: Tianhe Sect, Shangqing Sect, Lingyun Sect, and the Temple Tribe of the grassland!

Seeing this, Li Qing's fingers suddenly tightened, and he almost couldn't control the strength and crushed the book.

Lingyun Sect!

Seeing these three words, Li Qing's emotions were like a storm, and he immediately thought of the white jade token at the bottom of his box.

Could it be that the token is the so-called Ascension Order?

He was not sure, sometimes a sect would have various tokens, maybe representing the identity of a certain disciple?

Li Qing suppressed his excitement and continued to read.

It was an introduction to the holy medicine for casual cultivators, the Foundation Building Pill.

At first, the foundation-building pills were made from various spiritual medicines in the world. Later, as time went by, these spiritual medicines became increasingly scarce, so that they only existed in some secret realms or deserts.

Without the foundation-building pill, the path of most cultivators became very difficult. Except for a few geniuses, no one dared to break through the foundation-building barrier.

Because once they failed, it meant the risk of death!

The mana collapsed and impacted the cultivator's body. This backlash caused serious damage to the vitality at the least, and death at the worst was also common.

Later, even the immortal sects could not stand it anymore, so they sent high-level cultivators across the natural chasm to other regions of the cultivation world to find the source of materials.

Finally, a cultivator brought back a new foundation-building pill recipe from other cultivation worlds, replacing the hard-to-find main material of the pill with the crystal core of a second-level monster!

This discovery was earth-shattering, and it gave the entire Qingling domain cultivation world a life-saving opportunity.

It is precisely because of the new foundation-building pill recipe that monsters have become extremely rare in the Qingling area today.

Fortunately, whether it is the boundless sea in the east or the bitter and cold mountains in the extreme south, there are still many monsters living in these two desolate places.

"No wonder the monsters in Xiaocuiling are so rare. I have been there for two and a half years before I encountered a first-level early bear monster."

Li Qing murmured to himself, thinking that they were probably all hunted and killed, and the crystal cores were taken away for refining foundation-building pills.

Just as Li Qing was sighing in his heart, someone finally visited his stall.

And this person was none other than the arrogant talisman master that Li Qing met yesterday!

"How much is your bear monster skin?" The arrogant talisman master was still holding a shelf, as if buying Li Qing's things was a gift to him.

Seeing this scene, Li Qing's heart moved slightly.

Originally, he was planning to sell the bear skin for only twenty or thirty spirit stones and be done with it, but after learning that monsters were so rare nowadays, he became more interested.

"Fifty spiritual stones, no two prices!" Li Qing said with a smile.

"This is just an early-stage first-order monster animal skin, and you're selling it so expensively? Why don't you just grab it!" The Talisman Master suddenly became anxious.

Li Qing shook his head and said: "You think it's expensive, but I still think it's expensive. Look at the monsters in Xiaocuiling now!"

"I searched for this bear monster for two and a half years in Xiaocuiling. It took a lot of effort to kill it at that time!"

As he said that, Li Qing showed an attitude of whether he wanted to buy or not, and continued to read the "Strange Stories from the Qingling Immortal World" he got from the other party.

It has to be said that knowledge is indeed equal to wealth. If he hadn't obtained such a book, he would never have known that monster beasts were so scarce nowadays.

The other party is a talisman master. Such a big bear skin might be used to make special talisman paper for drawing talismans.

Monsters are full of treasures, and this is not just talk.

"Oh, okay!" This arrogant Talisman Master finally compromised when he saw Li Qing in this state.

Li Qing felt happy when he saw this.
