Seeking Immortals

Catching ghosts, returning to life, asking about the past and present, and unraveling secrets, Li Qing found that this is a good way to practice. He is not afraid of being contaminated by the power of ghosts and curses, and the resurrected ghosts have a limited survival time and will not reveal his following. .

Dialogue with the life and death of the characters of the era, even if no valuable information is asked, a little bit of the rhyme of the years revealed by the characters themselves can help him improve the way of ancient and modern times.

Relying on him to go through the years slowly, the speed of ancient and modern Taoism is a bit slow, and each one is more difficult to understand as you go up.

"However, the power of the ghost curse is also a great loss to me." Li Qing frowned. Qi luck is a sharp weapon against the power of the ghost curse.

The Qi Luck Realm Bead currently does not have much Qi Luck.

"If there is a chance, when I go back to the Star Sect to collect luck, if I go to the misty forest in the future, I will also have luck to protect myself."

"The second half of the Minglun Life and Death Sutra is also in the misty forest... the burial valley..."

Li Qing stared at the ghosts in his first-tier mine, but he was not in a hurry, he first smelted the ore he got.

Five years later, Li Qing finished smelting all the ores, and got one piece of fourth-level material of earth attribute, two parts of third-level material of metallic nature, five parts of third-level material of earth attribute, and three parts of third-level material of water attribute.

High-order ores are mostly associated with each other, and there are very few single ores.

There are also some loose ores, each of which is not enough for one serving.

Li Qing is planning to go to the mine to catch ghosts, when Bai Lu and Bai Zhan pay a sudden visit.

"I'm bothering fellow daoist," Bai Lu said with a smile, "It was all thanks to fellow daoist that we were able to get out of the Longyun Cave before. Now that we want to return to the sect, we specially invite fellow daoist to visit the Nine Heavens Sect."

Li Qing casually refused, since the Nine Heavens Sect is the supreme sect, he will not go.

Bai Lu said: "The Nine Heavens Sect has the Nine Heavens Waterfall, which can assist monks in slashing the Tao. There is a quota every eight hundred years, which is determined by the disciples of the sect. If a fellow Taoist has the opportunity to become a foreign partner of a Nine Heavens Sect disciple, he is also eligible to participate."

Li Qing just smiled and didn't take it to heart.

After Bai Lu left, Li Qing went directly to the mine in his rotten battle suit.

The decayed battle clothes were re-dyed by Li Qing, like new clothes, even Yi Feng couldn't recognize the origin of the battle clothes.

For ordinary Yinshen late stage, Li Qing, who had slashed four swords, was already invincible. He was not sure if he could reach the limit of the Venerable with a full blow, and now he has to worry about the Venerable, although the rotten battle suit cannot help him defeat a Venerable, but it can prevent being injured by a sneak attack by the Venerable.

This battle suit will completely decay in the face of Yinshen's continuous strong attacks in the late stage.

The decay of the treasure suit is irretrievable and irreparable. When it really decays, it will condense a third-order treasure essence.

As soon as Li Qing tried to find ghosts, he found great difficulties. Longshan Cave was an abandoned mine, and the mines were intact and easy to move. Bai Lu found the ghosts after decades of searching.

Although the mine in front of me has weaker ghost spells, but the mine is shallow, and there is a lot of room for ghosts to hide, so it is difficult to find.

"Then go down to the mine with the Slaughtering Sword every day and hack for a meal, anyway, you will stay in West Jinzhou for more than a hundred years." Li Qing calmed down and maintained his daily practice.

He occasionally visits Guisang Mountain.

Time flies, and fifty years have passed by.

The mine was cut into a mess by the killing sword, but Li Qing also roughly determined the location of the ghost, and he could always find it by digging along.

In the past fifty years, Li Qing has also made great progress in cutting the way. The fifth sword is planned to be in the name of the Tao of Form, and now the mana of the Tao of Form can basically be condensed into a knife.

This distance is less than sixty years after the fourth cut.

Li Qing set the number of Dao Slashing Swords at nine, based on the fact that the soul has cultivated to the late stage of Yinshen at the age of 3,500, and if he can slash once every 100 years after that, it will be considered a considerable speed.

Li Qing's Dao heart is clear, and his accumulation is solid. On the premise that he doesn't need to cut Dao to protect his life, he can cut himself faster than many creatures.

...

Fifteen years later, Li Qing finally found the ghost in the mine.

This ghost spirit is much weaker than the ghost spirit of Longshan Cave. After Li Qing exhausted it, he sacrificed the Bridge of Rebirth.

However, after the ghost spirit walked across the bridge of death, it directly turned into a pile of loess and scattered with the wind.

"This is a native ghost, but can't native ghosts be reborn?"

"Or is it because my attainments in the Dao of Life and Death are not enough, or because I haven't obtained the second half of the Minglun Life and Death Sutra, so the Bridge of Rebirth is not accomplished enough?"

Li Qing was confused.

There are two types of ghosts, one is native ghosts, which come from the misty forest; the other is powerful creatures who died due to the power of the curse, and then turned into ghosts after death.

This poured cold water on Li Qing, he needed to find the second type of ghosts, and his plan to catch ghosts fell by the wayside.

Catching ghosts can't be done specifically, it's time-consuming and may not yield anything, but if you meet a suitable one, you can catch them at once.

Li Qing practiced with all his heart, and after four years, he successfully slashed and entered the fifth slash.

After the five cuts, Li Qing sensed a different aura. His aura had a small transformation, and he seemed to be approaching a venerable, becoming a venerable.

"Before the four cuts, I could still return to the Star Realm after being cut off by Wang Gu, so I should not be able to enter the Star Realm now."

Cutting has cleared the way, which is a process of gradually becoming a venerable.

The "respect" of the venerable is actually derived from the "respect" of the venerable Tao in the already clear way.

If Li Qing's current state is divided by a small realm, it can be called a half-respect. Of course, there is no such thing as a half-respect in the Taixuan Continent.

However, the later stage of Yinshen, who has begun to become a venerable, is much stronger than the previous stage of Yinshen.

Two years later, at the gathering in Guisang Mountain, both Yi Feng and Li Zhong noticed the change in Li Qing's aura, and Li Zhong congratulated him, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, for improving your cultivation."

Yi Feng sighed lightly: "Ancestor Zhu was able to capture Yin Chai alive before, breaking the bear battle in seconds, and now I don't know how far he has come."

Li Qing was modest, and then looked at Huang Bai: "When will fellow Taoist Huang Bai step into the late stage of the Yin God?"

"It's hard," Huang Bai shook his head, "This old man is more than 3,600 years old now. If he can enter the late stage of the Yin God at the age of 4,000, he will be considered promising, but in this life, he will stop at the Yin God, and there is no hope for the Venerable."

"Not necessarily," Li Qing said with a smile, "There are also many living beings in the world, with a strong perseverance, they don't need to cut off the things that protect their lives, and they only need a few hundred years to become respected."

The three venerables in the Star Realm went all the way recklessly, and dared to drop their swords when they were not sure, and finally became venerable by luck, but their foundation was broken, and their strength was far inferior to the venerable of the Seven Sacred Palace. 'I didn't even understand the road'.

Just as he was talking, Fellow Daoist Huang Bai suddenly stood up and said in a concentrated voice: "Recently, some mine owners have disappeared in West Jinzhou. I'm worried that some evil spirit is catching the gods. I will trouble Old Ancestor Zhu to stay in Guisang Mountain during this time."

"Should be." Li Qing nodded, his Tier 1 mine is not worth thinking about, it's better to cultivate in Guisang Mountain, and try to kill him again before Qinghan Xianfang's 300-year trading and auction meeting.

He asked again: "Recently, are there still frequent searches for the Divine Palace and the Longevity Sect?"

Li Zhong pondered: "Some areas are frequent, some are acceptable, and some states have no influence at all. It varies. But the shortage of longevity medicine is not over yet."

"How about Qinghan State?" Li Qing looked at Yi Feng, Yi Feng's sect was still in Qinghan State, and disciples of Bright Sky Sect often came here to report the sect's situation to him.

"Perhaps because Old Ancestor Zhu still has the reputation of anti-catching yin scouts, there are no yin gods missing in Qinghan Prefecture these years, and even several nearby states are safe." Yi Feng said.

"That's good." Li Qing nodded.

...

After Li Qing stayed in Guisang Mountain, he paid more attention to the information from all over the West Jinzhou. In the past eight years, he heard that three Yin gods had disappeared.

And one day twenty years later, a mine owner who owned a healthy miner was taken away. A monk came to rescue him, found the ghost, and fought with him, but the ghost retreated calmly.

The appearance of the Yincha made the atmosphere tense in Xijinzhou for a while, and Li Zhong yelled at him when he heard about it: "Yincha, the dead son and grandson of the dog day!"

However, I don't know when, the name of Li Qingzhu's patriarch gradually spread in Xijinzhou. Some mine owners and mine slaves live next to Guisang Mountain, planning to avoid this period of time.

Li Qing's three-hundred-year lifespan for not being hunted by evil spirits is still there.

On this day, Huang Baixun found Li Qing and said: "Some fellow Taoists found me and wanted to give me a gift, but they thought the price was too high and asked if it could be lowered."

Li Qing listened for a while, then laughed and said, "No need, they stay nearby if they want to avoid robbery. Everyone cultivates each other, what kind of gifts do you receive, don't publicize this in the future, even if you take the initiative to send some meeting gifts, I will not accept them."

Huang Bai: "..."

Li Qing's friendship has indeed increased in price, and he will only recognize it if he gives at least a piece of third-order metal or wood material.

His family is very rich now, not as good as before.

In the next twenty-five years, some mine owners asked for help from the forces behind them one after another, and some powerful ghosts entered West Jinzhou, and the ghosts did not dare to appear again, and West Jinzhou regained its stability.

Guisang Mountain also returned to calm.

No matter how crazy you are in the dark, you are only a mouse in the gutter in Taixuan Continent, and you can't see the light.

Another fifteen years passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the time limit agreed between Li Qing and Li Zhong. It had been two hundred years since Li Qing had been stationed at Guisang Mountain, and he had completed the entrustment, and he had five second-level materials.

"Fellow Daoist?" Li Zhong hesitated.

"Don't worry too much, I'll stay in Guisang Mountain for a while longer, I'm going to kill soon." Li Qing laughed.

"It's so good." Li Zhong's face finally eased.

Time flies, one day thirty years later, the place where Li Qing retreated was exceptionally quiet.

Li Qing's aura was dark and gloomy. At a certain moment, his eyes suddenly opened, and with a movement in his hand, a magic knife gathered leisurely.

"This knife, in the name of good and evil, cut!"

With the fall of mana, one-ninth of Li Qing's physical body perfectly merged with Yinshen.

Li Qing officially stepped into the six cuts.

The aura of the venerable contained in him is even more obvious.

It took Li Qing ninety-two years to make the sixth cut, which was longer than the previous few cuts.

The time for Concentrating the Dharma Saber is actually about the same, but Li Qing hesitated for a while when he used the saber.

Today's Yinshen has fused more than half of his physical body, and every time he fused a little more, he required the magic knife to be more precise, and there should be no difference.

Moreover, when the knife is dropped later, there will be the influence of the previous ways. If it is slightly affected, the physical body may not be able to perfectly integrate with the Yin God, and defects will be cut and the foundation will be cut.

After the sixth strike, there are only three strikes of cause and effect, presence and absence, and killing.

Li Qing stared intently at the seventh knife, confusion appeared in his eyes, it was not a big problem to freeze the knife, but he was a little bit shaken whether he could perfectly integrate the body and Yinshen with one knife.

"Under normal circumstances, if I make a stab, there is a high probability that I will be able to kill myself successfully."

"Only this risk, I don't need to take it."
