Chapter 307: Yuanying Level 3
Chapter 307: The Three Stages of Yuanying
Li Quanqing pushed open the jade door and walked completely into the cave. The grass under his feet was sprouting new buds and was particularly soft to step on.
He looked around. This small world was not large in area, but it was extremely full of vitality. There were lush vegetation everywhere, and spiritual beasts were walking leisurely.
The breeze blew by, dandelions fluttered in the wind, and the branches and leaves of the trees rustled, playing the music of spring.
The sky above is even bluer, and the warm sunlight shines down, making my whole body feel comfortable and full of vigorous vitality.
Even Ao Qing also loved the environment here. The dragon body coiled and entangled like a green ribbon, chasing the scattered dandelion seeds.
"Another fellow Taoist has arrived..."
"The immortal light is contained within, the magic power is pure, like the clear wind and bright moon, and the boundless ocean. Which Yuanying sect did this true talisman come from?"
"Hey, he actually raised a third-level green dragon. Could it be that he is from the Beast Taming Sect..."
In just a moment, Li Quanqing became the focus of everyone's attention. It was because he was too young, had an immortal look, and was extraordinary and otherworldly.
Moreover, his cultivation is not weak, he has entered the middle stage of the Golden Core, and he has a third-order great demon by his side, which makes him worthy of being called a strong man.
Li Quanqing looked up and saw that there were quite a few Jindan cultivators coming, more than twenty of them.
Everyone was scattered among the mountains, each occupying a hilltop. Some were elegant and graceful, while others were unrestrained. They gathered together to talk and laugh without too many rules.
He followed the local customs and also chose a green sacred mountain. Unfortunately, the places around Zhou Qingmu were already occupied by cultivators, so he had to choose another place.
This mountain is beautiful and has a large bluestone on the top. It eats wind and drinks dew, absorbs the essence of the sun, moon, heaven and earth, and has acquired some extraordinary spirituality.
At the root of the stone, there are several clusters of Ganoderma lucidum growing wildly. They are purple, gold and red in color, as big as round plates, and emit wisps of Ganoderma fragrance that is extremely refreshing.
Li Quanqing sat cross-legged on the green rock and casually cast a stream of magic power, slowly nourishing the spirituality in the stone. It could be said that they had some liking for each other.
"Where is this Taoist friend's immortal hometown? My name is Lei Tianen, and I come from the Lei family of the Eight Desolations."
On his left side, a middle-aged man with a curly beard looked at him. He had a sturdy appearance, a generous personality, a loud voice, and a familiar look.
He was wearing a Taoist robe with the pattern of thunder and lakes embroidered on it with interwoven silk threads. The wide sleeves could hardly conceal his slightly exaggerated and sturdy muscles.
The Eight Desolations Lei Family?
Li Quanqing raised his eyebrows slightly, still remembering this Jindan family that ruled over an area of sea.
At the beginning, Li Kunlun's cultivation had reached the great perfection of foundation building, but he had no golden elixir skills, so there was no hope for the future and the road ahead was bleak.
Later, through the introduction of an alchemist from Hanchi Immortal City, he met a core member of the Lei family, wanting to exchange for the golden elixir technique with thunder attributes.
Although the talks broke down in the end, the arrogance and attitude of the female foundation-building cultivator named Lei still left a deep impression on him, as if she was born superior to others.
That was Li Quanqing's first contact with the Jindan family. He didn't expect that now, he would actually meet a being like the ancestor of the Lei family.
"Qingyu Li, Li Quanqing."
Li Quanqing bowed with a very friendly attitude, and there was a sense of carefreeness in his every move.
"Hmm... I haven't heard of it. I guess it's a Jindan family from the inner sea."
Lei Tianen searched his memory, but unfortunately he had never heard of it. Finally, he spoke with a little regret.
"The Lei family guards the outer sea monster tribe and rules one side. It's only natural that they are unfamiliar with us inner sea cultivators..."
Li Quanqing started chatting with him and expressed his goodwill.
The strength of the Bahuang Lei family is not weak. They have three Jindan Zhenren, and their ancestor is a Yuanying Zhenjun, with an extraordinary inheritance.
Many ancient families like this one, which have been passed down for more than ten thousand years, will cultivate a few spiritual beasts to protect the clan. After all, the lifespan of spiritual beasts is much longer than that of humans.
The Lei family naturally has one too, and it’s a thunder-attributed monster, so they have a lot of experience in raising it.
Li Quanqing started from this aspect and talked with Lei Tianen in detail. Both parties had a certain grasp of thunder magic, and they had a very pleasant conversation.
The Wind and Thunder Python King is about to face the bottleneck of the Golden Core. Even with the help of Cang Pan's Thunder Qi, the probability of failure is still high.
When Lei Tianen learned of his concerns, he suggested that when cultivating thunder-attributed monsters, they could be sent into thunderstorms frequently to face the power of thunder, which would help them survive the great thunder tribulation.
This is indeed a very good idea. Li Quanqing decided to go back and try it out. He took the Wind and Thunder Python to actively chase the thunderstorm on the sea.
Buzz!
The air vibrated, creating ripples, and several large bees suddenly flew over here, as big as children, with black hairs on their golden bodies, and colorful wings trembling rapidly. These spirit bees held jade plates filled with fresh fairy fruits, with fragrant herbs and pleasant aromas, and fresh dew on the fruits.
There was also a magical beast in the shape of a hummingbird, which flapped its wings and brought a pot of royal jelly. It was as sticky as honey, amber in color, and had a rich sweet aroma with a hint of the mellowness of wine.
"Fellow Daoist Li, please enjoy your meal, or people will accuse me of not entertaining you well enough!"
An old man holding a peach wood staff spoke with a smile. He had white hair and a youthful face, a ruddy complexion, and looked like a good old man. His cultivation was at the late Golden Elixir stage.
He was the organizer of this discussion, Tao Shou Zhenren from the Xingchen Sect, who was naturally close to the great way of nature.
Li Quanqing thanked him for his kindness and began to enjoy the fruits. He teased Ao Qing with each spiritual fruit and seemed quite content.
He could somewhat see that this group of Jindan monks were obviously waiting for an important guest, so they took their time and chatted about daily life.
Another two or three hours passed, and cultivators arrived one after another. In the end, there were more than thirty Jindan, which was amazing.
Li Quanqing's expression suddenly changed, and he keenly sensed that an extremely powerful aura was descending into the entire cave.
The sound of the piano rang out, like water flowing in the mountains, jade falling on a pearl plate, echoing between heaven and earth, and everyone suddenly became quiet.
"My fellow Taoists, follow me to greet him. Senior Brother Zhao Qian from the Immortal Dao has arrived!"
Taoist Master Tao Shou waved his wooden staff, his brows suddenly lit up with joy, and his words revealed a hint of respect and expectation.
Li Quanqing mingled in the crowd, but did not stand out. He just followed the crowd and looked at the newcomers with curiosity.
A blue phoenix descended from the clouds in the sky. It had an elegant and noble figure, like the legendary blue phoenix with a brilliant crown.
On the back of the phoenix, a young man with a handsome face and sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples was sitting cross-legged. He was playing the guqin in front of him with both hands.
He was wearing a pure white Taoist robe, which was elegant and clean. Only the word "eternal life" was embroidered with black silk thread, which fully demonstrated the simplicity of the Tao.
Li Quanqing recognized the shape of this Taoist robe. It was exclusive to high-level disciples of the Zhonghua Changsheng Dao, and it symbolized pure yang longevity.
He only took a few glances and was secretly shocked. This Zhao Qian's cultivation was really strong. He might have reached the realm of great perfection of the golden elixir.
Moreover, he is still young and does not look old. His every move shows the demeanor of a genius. He definitely has the capital to achieve the Nascent Soul stage.
Li Quanqing had not seen many Taoist immortals, but their characteristics were surprisingly similar.
When it comes to dealing with people, he is very friendly and he acts in a very disciplined and methodical manner. Every move he makes seems to be following invisible rules, and he is extremely self-disciplined.
Apart from that, there is a similar sense of self-confidence and pride in his body, as if there is nothing in the world that the way of immortality cannot accomplish.
Be brave and make progress, and be determined to reform!
"Everyone, Zhao is late, please forgive me."
Zhao Qian gave everyone an apologetic smile. Although he was the most powerful person present, he was not arrogant at all and was very approachable.
With a wave of his sleeves, the blue phoenix monster under his seat suddenly turned into a piece of paper cutting and fell on the dark red surface of the piano, appearing lifelike.
"I dare not. We are here to greet Senior Brother Zhao..."
After everyone greeted each other one by one, they finally gathered together and began the discussion.
First of all, of course, it was Zhao Qian and Tao Shou Zhenren who preached. They had profound cultivation and the paths they had walked were of great inspiration to those who came after them.
Taoist Master Tao Shou started from the early stage of the Golden Elixir and ended with the late stage of the Golden Elixir, speaking slowly and leisurely.
Zhao Qian then continued, describing how he had polished his own golden elixir to perfection, how his magic power could be improved to the maximum, and even how he had tried to break the elixir and become an infant.
When Li Quanqing heard this, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of surprise on his face, thinking that it was really a good decision to come to this conference.
His background was too humble. After breaking through the Golden Core stage, he had to rely on his own exploration. The ancestors of the entire Li family could no longer provide any help.
Not to mention how to achieve the Nascent Soul in the end, I was completely confused and had no idea. Now I finally see the way forward.
As a disciple of the Huashen Sect, Zhao Qian had a complete inheritance and knew a lot about the secrets of the Nascent Soul. At this time, he did not hide anything.
According to him, there are three levels of difficulty in the Nascent Soul stage, each one is more dangerous than the last, and if you are not careful you will be reduced to ashes.
Breaking the pill and becoming an infant, facing the thunder tribulation, and most importantly -
The devil in the heart is causing trouble!
