Chapter 77 The spirit bee gives up life
The loyalty of the Earth Dragon Beast is rare and precious.
Even if the monsters in the world are tamed, they only follow the contract and do not become enemies of their masters.
After the contract ends, very few monsters still retain loyalty to their masters.
When beast tamers sign contracts, they often sign life-and-death contracts, meaning that if the beast tamer dies, the beast will also die.
The earth dragon beast in front of him had not signed a life-and-death contract with Li Fulai.
And even after his death, he still wanted to avenge Li Fulai.
"Unfortunately, his loyalty is my enemy. If you were willing to submit to me after Li Fulai's death, I might spare your life."
It is obviously inappropriate to bury Li Fulai and the earth dragon beast together here.
If the Yunxia Sect investigates and discovers the earth dragon beast and Li Fulai's corpse, he will be in trouble.
Lu Qingyun ignited a handful of spiritual fire, setting the earth dragon beast and Li Fulai's corpse ablaze.
After the two had turned to ashes, Lu Qingyun took their ashes with him, preparing to leave Yunxia Pavilion and Pingyang Market.
"The fighting on the mountain probably won't last long. I should leave the market immediately and find a safe place to refine the spiritual energy."
Lu Qingyun lowered his gaze slightly, and finished holding the spiritual source in his hand with great affection.
Even if he were to be killed by someone at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, he could be reborn with spiritual energy in his next life.
"After more than a decade of planning, it's finally come to fruition!"
Lu Qingyun was filled with emotion and couldn't help but chuckle.
The next moment, he immediately took out the flying shuttle, activated his magic power, and left Pingyang Market through the secret passage dug by Li Fulai.
Once they left Pingyang Market, there were no people blocking their way.
This place is already several miles away from Pingyang Market, and you can only see the shadow of Pingyang Market in the distance.
Meanwhile, the market was engulfed in flames, and the spiritual energy was thinning every second.
"Times change and the world changes, that's all there is to it."
Recalling the days when I first came to Pingyang Market, I saw its grandeur, the winding streams, and the monks Zheng and Bai enjoying themselves.
Lu Qingyun shook his head.
"I will not be like this marketplace, wasting away by time and destroyed by strife."
"One day, I will attain that Great Way and achieve immortality."
Pingyang Market will be destroyed by the cultivators' battle, but he will not.
Although he lacked a vast spiritual vein and was not wealthy enough to be considered a wealthy merchant.
But he can still make progress; the path to immortality is boundless, and so is his.
Lu Qingyun continued to urge his magic power, driving the flying shuttle toward a desolate mountain.
At the same time, he summoned the bee slave from his waist.
buzzing.
The bee hovered around him, wondering what Lu Qingyun wanted to see it for.
"I've raised you for a thousand days, but I only need you for a moment. If possible, I certainly don't need you to die for me, especially since..."
"Humans are not plants or trees, how can they be without feelings? I have poured so much effort into raising you all these days, nurturing you from a bee to your current level of Qi Refining Level 6."
Lu Qingyun looked at the bee slave and sighed.
Buzz!
The bee slave was puzzled, seemingly sensing a faint crisis of death and Lu Qingyun's helpless killing intent.
Its wings trembled, as if it wanted to fly away, but it did not move.
Lu Qingyun shook his head, looking at the bee slave in front of him with complicated emotions.
"But alas, if you do not die, the sect will surely use the Soul Lamp to find me, and in this life, my life and my path will come to an end..."
Earlier, Lu Qingyun had activated the Soul-Seizing Technique to propel the Bee Slave to the sixth level of Qi Refining, all for the sake of today.
In order to have the bee slave take his place, he entrusted a wisp of his soul to the elder's token in Pingyang Market.
And now, the time has finally come.
The bee slave's wings froze in mid-air.
It seemed to understand what Lu Qingyun meant.
Lu Qingyun closed his eyes, preparing to make his move.
However, in the next moment, his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
The spirit bee suddenly died, completely severing its connection with him in his mind, leaving only a single bee egg in its place.
"Good bee, good bee, I have indeed underestimated you."
Lu Qingyun picked up the bee egg and remained silent for a moment.
From beginning to end, the bee slaves were bound to him by divine will.
A single thought could take its life.
Unexpectedly, this bee, which had accompanied him for so many years, had also gained intelligence and ended its own life before he could even make a move.
"Since you have left me a bee egg, I will take good care of it. Farewell, little bee... May no one force me in the next life to make you die in my place."
-
Lu Qingyun murmured to himself, and then headed toward that desolate mountain.
The barren mountain is called Xishan.
There is a village at the foot of the mountain called Xikou Village.
Both the village and the mountain are named after a stream that flows nearby.
The cowherd at the foot of the mountain saw a fleeting shadow streak across the sky and exclaimed in surprise, "An immortal! There really is an immortal!"
The adults and young children planting rice seedlings around them looked on in disbelief.
Although the virtuous ones revered the Dao, in this spiritless, secluded paradise, the immortals still regarded them as an unrealistic fantasy.
Lu Qingyun piloted the flying shuttle and quickly landed in the mountains.
He heard the cowherd's explanation from down the mountain, but he didn't pay it any mind.
Perhaps for these cowherds living in seclusion, not knowing the ways of the immortals is a blessing in disguise.
My gaze swept across the streams and mountains. This place is surrounded by thousands of mountains, with beautiful scenery and few outsiders. Apart from the lack of spiritual energy, it can be described as an excellent place to live in seclusion.
The sun's shadow slants to the west.
Several days had passed since the incident at Pingyang Market.
He piloted the flying shuttle at a speed far beyond that of ordinary cultivators. Regardless of whether the Bai or Zheng families won, they would not be able to find this place.
Because this mountain stream is barren and lacks spiritual veins,
Because this mountain stream is desolate and lacks spiritual energy.
Ordinary cultivators, let alone reaching the late stage of Qi Refining, must find a place with abundant spiritual energy and prepare sufficient spirit stones for each breakthrough, even in the early stage of Qi Refining.
Just like back on Zayi Peak, when everyone was scrambling for those spiritually rich fields and spirit stones.
However, for him who possesses the spiritual source, no matter where he is, once he has refined the spiritual source, he can easily break through to the perfect stage of Qi Refining without worrying about spiritual energy.
A quiet room was set up in the mountains, where Lu Qingyun sat cross-legged.
A cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining can live on air and dew, refining Qi into essence, and does not need to eat ordinary rice.
A glint of light flashed in his eyes.
A dark blue vortex of magical power condensed around him.
Lu Qingyun activated the "Ancient Tree Longevity Technique," circulating it throughout his body to regulate his meridians, expel turbid air, and calm his spirit.
Looking at the vortex of magical power, which was filled with azure and even malevolent intent, Lu Qingyun remained silent.
He had no other martial arts techniques.
Moreover, even if such techniques existed, most of them were unsuitable for his spiritual root, or perhaps they were part of a conspiracy.
"Even if I switch to another cultivation method, will I be able to escape?"
Lu Qingyun gave a self-deprecating laugh, recalling the conversation he had with Bai Yuechan that day.
Most cultivation techniques in this world are sub-techniques, created by the master techniques of those Foundation Establishment families and sects.
Even if one were to switch to other cultivation methods, it would likely be nothing more than a waste of time, becoming resources for others.
"Where there's a will, there's a way; when the boat reaches the bridge, it will straighten itself."
"Now I have no choice but to keep improving myself and keep moving forward."
In an instant, Lu Qingyun no longer hesitated and immediately activated his longevity magic power to continuously refine the azure spiritual source in his hand.
Cracks began to appear on the surface of the spirit source.
In an instant, Lu Qingyun felt an incomparably abundant magical power constantly surging into him from all around, and he no longer felt the emptiness he had felt in the Poor Spirit Land.
The dark blue longevity magic within his body greedily absorbed the pure spiritual energy from the spiritual source.
Lu Qingyun could even vaguely feel a swelling in his meridians.
"The power of spiritual energy is terrifying!"
Having never refined a spiritual source beforehand, Lu Qingyun's experience with this item was limited to snippets of information found in the sect's secret manuals.
Only when the spiritual source was truly refined into his body did he feel the abundant magical power within it.
As the core of a spiritual vein, if he were still in the mid-stage of Qi Refining and foolishly tried to refine it, he would probably explode and die.
