Chapter 256 Thoughts
Chapter 256 Thoughts
In the end, after some discussions, Li Quanqing decided to reserve a spot on the Starry Sky Boat from within the Starry Sect.
One million low-grade spirit stones is indeed a huge number for the Qingyu Li family today, and it is impossible to gather them all at once.
But it doesn’t matter. The Xingchen Sect supports installment payments, and the installments can be as long as 100 years. This is equivalent to a welfare for the sects under its jurisdiction.
After all, compared to the vast and long history of the world of immortal cultivation, the Starry Sky Boat is still just an emerging weapon refining technique, and it takes time to verify its power and safety.
For those antiques that have survived for nearly a thousand years, their attitude towards new things has always been quite resistant.
"I forgot to remind you all that although the sect's weapon hall is responsible for refining the Sky Boat technique, you fellow Taoists are required to capture extraterritorial stars as raw materials yourself."
Before leaving, Zhou Qingmu smiled and said these astonishing words.
Personally intercepting extraterritorial stars and sending them to the Star Sect for refining, this practice is outrageous but actually has a hint of rationality.
Li Quanqing is also a weapon refiner.
According to the rules of the weapon refining world, when customizing a personal magic weapon, the employer is indeed required to provide the raw materials himself, and the same applies to alchemists.
I can only say that the world of immortal cultivation really respects craftsmen.
True Man Jiujian also left in despair. He was just a fake alchemy cultivator, and it was very difficult, almost impossible, for him to intercept the stars.
Of course, the extraterritorial stars discussed by Li Quanqing and other Jindan Zhenren are all small meteors like meteorites.
The ancient stars with diameters of tens of thousands or even close to a million miles are simply not something they can shake, not even the most powerful gods can do that.
"It's a pity that I couldn't get a few thousand-year-old spiritual herbs..."
Li Quanqing looked at the two people as they left, feeling a little disappointed.
Especially when True Man Jiujian learned that the Li family already had an alchemist who could refine the foundation-building pill, he refused to give in.
He was afraid that the status of his own sword sect would be impacted, leading to betrayal from the foundation-building forces under his command.
"These eight foundation-building pills will be sealed in the family treasury and provided to clan members for them to exchange for contribution points to achieve breakthroughs. Any unfair treatment will be prohibited."
Li Quanqing took out the jade box and glanced at the foundation-building monks in the hall, truly displaying the majesty of a clan leader.
As long as he regarded the people in front of him as jade carp in the fish pond, he would naturally enter this state.
Now that there are more and more powerful people in the Li family, the people who were once united will also have their own little thoughts and want to exchange the Foundation Establishment Pill for their relatives and friends.
Li Quanqing was no exception.
He also hopes that his relatives and good friends such as Li Quanfu, Li Quanzhu, and Li Quange can successfully build their foundations, so that his own path of cultivation can be much more lively.
But without rules, there will be no order.
In this regard, Li Quanqing did not do very well. He was too soft-hearted, not ruthless enough, nor impartial enough.
In the end, the old patriarch was invited out to ensure that these foundation-building pills would be competed as fairly as possible.
After Li Quanqing had dealt with everything, when he returned to the cave, he saw a familiar figure who seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.
"Junior brother..."
Li Quanshu looked at him and smiled sweetly, her eyes as clear as autumn water. The sunlight shone on her skirt, as if the whole fish pond had become brighter.
The lotus leaves sway gently in the wind, and schools of green carp swim along the waves, leaving ripples behind, just like a lake in the human heart, which cannot be still at all.
Li Quanqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Congratulations, Senior Sister, on your successful foundation building. From now on, your face will never age, and you will soon be able to become an immortal."
According to his level of weapon-refining skills, he should actually be the senior brother, but he was happy to go along with her words.
It was like returning to the most ignorant youth. The two sat cross-legged on the embankment and talked a lot for a long time, from talking about the great way of cultivation, the many adventures of going out to the postpartum care of the female fish.
The flow of time seems to have slowed down, the air is quiet and peaceful. I wish time could stop at this moment and the memories would be infinitely beautiful.
Even the green-horned ichthyosaur quieted down, hiding under the water and eavesdropping with ears pricked up, spitting out bubbles one after another, like pearls strung together from the past that were emerging again.
Until the sun sets, the sunset glow in the sky is infinitely beautiful, coloring half the sky red.
Li Quanshu finally felt that the long distance between him and her had finally become close again, as if it was within reach.
The evening breeze blew her long skirt. The girl stroked her hair by her ears and suddenly spoke softly, "Junior brother, you are so outstanding. Have you ever thought about marrying someone as your partner?"
"In this life, I only want to be a great man and become an immortal. I dare not ask for more."
Li Quanqing's answer was frank.
This is his truest thought and also his most relaxed moment.
To become an immortal forever, this ambition buried deep in his heart, was finally revealed to others for the first time.
"Become an immortal...?"
Li Quanshu pursed her lips, not knowing whether to be sad or happy for a moment.
The thick barrier of distance once again blocked her way, like mountains waiting for her to conquer.
"What about you, Senior Sister? Have you ever thought about starting a family, raising a family, and raising children?"
Li Quanqing tilted his head and asked whatever he thought of.
"No, I look down on those ordinary people."
Li Quanshu looked up at the sky and sighed: "Maybe what I've been pursuing all my life will always be... the wrong person."
The water ripples, and in the blink of an eye, only an empty sigh remains on the dam.
The sun sank into the East China Sea, the night was deep, dotted with stars, and bright lights were lit in the Qingyu Cave, gathering the lights of thousands of homes.
Li Quanqing watched Li Quanshu leave. He also vaguely sensed the other party's feelings, but he was not interested in that.
Li Quanshu thought that since he had established a foundation, he was qualified to stand behind him, but who would have thought that Li Quanqing actually had the ambition to become an immortal?
"Moo~"
The water splashed, and Ao Qing poked his big head out of the fish pond and rubbed his master's robe, as if to comfort him.
"I am okay……"
Li Quanqing touched the cool scales, stroking them with his fingers as if he was tickling them, and a pleasant purr came from his throat.
Compared to women, he still prefers to stay with these spirit beasts, which does not require him to spend too much time and effort.
Suddenly, Li Quanqing's expression changed slightly, and he realized that his own life-saving magic weapon was emitting strange waves, and spiritual energy was gathering.
He walked into the vast sea bowl and suddenly saw a red evil aura rising from the sky on the island, standing there like a pillar.
"Ow--"
The Golden Flame Tiger slowly flapped its wings and roared towards the sky. Its hair flew wildly like a blazing golden flame, and its eyes sparkled with excitement.
After such a long period of cultivation, it finally broke through and launched an attack towards the bottleneck of foundation building.
