Southeast of Xuanzheng Continent, Song'an Mansion of Jin Kingdom.

Xiaonan Mountain.

The morning sun sprinkled the first rays of light on the edge of the cliff, and a thin young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a crown and a moon-white robe, sat cross-legged on a boulder on the edge of the cliff.

His eyes were slightly closed, and he held the meridian in both hands in the dantian to breathe in according to a specific rhythm.

As the young man breathed in, there seemed to be something in the surrounding space being pulled, slowly gathering towards it and turning into a little spiritual light that merged into the body and merged into the meridians, and fell on the dantian after a week.

The youth repeats the process over and over again until the sun rises and the sun shines all over the land.

Call......

A mouthful of turbid air was exhaled, and an indiscernible pneumatic sound came out from the young man's body, as if something invisible had broken open.

"Finally broke through to the seventh layer of Qi training."

The young man slowly opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on Gujing Wubo's face.

The young man's name is Li Qing, and he is a casual cultivator in the immortal cultivation world.

At the age of eight, he followed his master to cultivate immortals, and it has been exactly ten years now.

Li Qing felt the mana surging in his body, and since three years ago, he had changed the cultivation method from the Five Elements Qi Determination to the current Black Water True Method.

In the past three years, the cultivation has progressed by leaps and bounds, directly breaking through from the fourth layer of Qi training to the seventh layer of Qi training, and the speed is really amazing.

Let Li Qing deeply understand how important a good exercise method is for a monk, and the power of the Black Water True Method is not only reflected in the cultivation speed.

It also had a remarkable effect on refining mana, and Li Qing could feel that the condensation of his current mana was about thirty percent higher than that before cultivating the Black Water True Method.

This means that Li Qing can hold more mana than a monk of the same realm, and his strength is stronger.

But thinking of the origin of the Black Water True Method, Li Qing's original joy brought by the ascension of the realm was immediately diluted a lot.

Because the Heishui True Law was exchanged for his life by Li Qing's master.

Three years ago, Master Li Qing dragged his injured body and returned to Xiaonan Mountain with a tired face, and handed over the jade slip that recorded the true method of Heishui to Li Qing.

At the last moment of his life, he encouraged Li Qing to practice hard, and then left in front of Li Qing.

This scene has always been imprinted in Li Qing's mind and can never be erased.

To this day, Li Qing only roughly knew that the master went out to explore a cave with someone, and Li Qing did not know the inside story.

But he guessed that it was the uneven distribution of interests that caused the conflict, which led to this result.

At that time, Li Qing was only fifteen, and his cultivation was only at the fourth level of Qi cultivation, so he was only at a loss when such a thing happened suddenly.

However, Li Qing is not a stupid person after all, except for the pain caused by the death of his master at the beginning, which made him hesitate, but he quickly reacted.

The master fled back with his last breath, and Li Qing thought about it and felt that he would not give up easily after attacking the master, and he might find the trace to find the door.

So Li Qing immediately decided to flee overnight with his master's body, and only returned to Xiaonan Mountain to check the situation until a few months had passed.

As he expected, Xiaonan Mountain was in a mess, the houses and spiritual fields were destroyed, and there were traces of turning and destruction everywhere.

Apparently, someone came to the door, looking for what it looked like after venting after nothing was gained.

Although the person who came to the door had already left, out of prudence, Li Qing did not return to Xiaonanshan after all.

Instead, when he came to Song'an Mansion, 700 miles away, he found a nameless hill far away from the hustle and bustle as a foothold, and buried the master's body in a beautiful place on the top of the mountain.

In order to find a trace of sustenance, Li Qing also regarded the nameless hill as a new Xiaonan Mountain and started a new life.

Cultivation has also risen steadily after turning to the Black Water True Method, and now it has reached the level of the seventh level of Qi cultivation.

"Master, why didn't you tell who did it to you?"

Li Qing stood up and looked at the autumn scenery under the cliff and sighed.

Although he ventured back to Xiaonan Mountain to determine the approximate cause of his master's death, he had no clue who the murderer was.

Li Qing still doesn't know who the person who attacked the master was at the beginning, how many people there were, and what their strength was.

So there is no way to talk about revenge.

However, Li Qing has never forgotten this matter, and he has been holding back his strength in his heart and working hard to cultivate. I hope that one day in the future, after my cultivation becomes higher, I will be able to find the murderer who attacked Master and avenge Master.

For this reason, Li Qing has not slackened for a day in the past three years, and has practiced hard every day to improve his cultivation.

so that it will come in handy someday in the future.

"Master, don't worry. I will definitely practice well, definitely. ”

Li Qing looked up at the highest part of Xiaonan Mountain, where there was a large tree with lush leaves, and the shade of the tree was like a canopy, guarding a tomb below.

Li Qing turned around and returned along the path he had come, and after walking less than two hundred steps, a small fenced courtyard made of thatch appeared.

This small courtyard was built by Li Qing after he arrived here as a resting place.

Because Li Qing was concentrating on cultivation, he didn't care too much about how comfortable he was.

For Li Qing, as long as he can shelter from the wind and rain, it is enough, and no matter how good the others are, it will not be of much benefit to his cultivation.

After returning to the small courtyard, Li Qing prepared breakfast, because the cultivation of Qi during the cultivation period was far from reaching the point where he could open the valley, so Li Qing still needed to eat every day to meet the needs of his body.

A bowl of porridge mixed with a little spiritual rice, a plate of pickles.

After breakfast, Li Qing returned to the main house to clean up and prepare to go out, and ten days later it was the big gathering of Donglingfang City once every five years.

At that time, some monks from the entire Jin Kingdom and even the surrounding areas of the Jin Kingdom will rush to participate, which can be regarded as a rare event in the Jin Kingdom's immortal cultivation world.

For this kind of grand event, Li Qing naturally would not miss it, and he was already ready to sell all the pills he had refined in the past few years and exchange them for spirit stones.

Then buy a flying magic weapon at a reasonable price or a flying sword at the top grade magic weapon level.

After all, with Li Qing's current cultivation and abundant mana, he can also support the consumption of Edgeworth's flight.

When the time comes, there is no need to cross mountains and mountains, and it can also be used as a means of saving lives.

After leaving Xiao Nan Mountain, Li Qing pasted the magic talisman on his legs, and then used mana to infuse it.

After that, Li Qing rushed out at a speed far superior to ordinary people, heading towards the Yunwu Mountain where Donglingfang City was located in the east.

Yunwu Mountain is almost eight or nine hundred miles away from Xiaonan Mountain, and it will take almost three days to reach Li Qing's current footsteps.

Li Qing's plan was to arrive in Donglingfang City a few days in advance, occupy a booth with a better location, and sell the pills in his hand as soon as possible, leaving enough time to go to Fang City for a walk.

Therefore, I set off ten days in advance, so as not to get the time to start the rally, and the pill in my hand has not been replaced with a spirit stone.

With the blessing of the Divine Talisman, Li Qing was very fast, and he traveled almost a third of the way in the evening.

However, this day's running also made Li Qing a little tired, and more than half of the mana in his body was consumed.

Considering that it was inconvenient to force the way when it was getting dark, and that it would take time to recover mana, I was going to find a nearby place where I could spend the night and rest for the night.

In the past three years, Li Qing has traveled back and forth between Xiaonanshan and Donglingfang City more than once, so he has long remembered some places where he can settle along the way.

So he was ready to settle down in a deserted mountain temple more than ten miles away, but when Li Qing arrived, he found that there was already a fire looming in the mountain temple, and there were bursts of conversation from time to time inside.

Li Qing wanted to avoid this when he saw this, but the next foothold was still dozens of miles away from here.

Glancing at the sky that had completely darkened, Li Qing frowned and finally walked towards the mountain temple.

However, before that, Li Qing had already removed the magic talisman on his legs and put it in the storage bag.

Approaching the mountain temple, Li Qing saw that there were six or seven horses and two empty wagons tied to the open space outside the temple.

The horses were leisurely eating forage, and they were very wary of the strangers who suddenly appeared, so much so that as soon as Li Qing walked within the range of the mountain temple, several horses barked uneasily.

This seemed to trigger some kind of chain reaction, and the conversation in the temple was stopped, and the sound of horses inside and outside the temple was surprisingly quiet.

However, this was only the appearance, Li Qing could clearly hear a series of subtle sounds of swords unsheathed with his extraordinary hearing.

You don't need to go to Li Qing to know what the situation is inside, but he is just going to go to the mountain temple to rest for one night, and he has not had a holiday with these people, so he is not worried about anything.

Moreover, judging from the small flags planted by the horses and wagons in the open space outside the temple, most of these people were just a group of dart masters.

It really didn't pose a threat to him, so he walked over.

Pushing open the broken and unsightly gate, Li Qing immediately saw seven men and one woman sitting by the fire in the mountain temple.

They were all dressed up in rivers and lakes, and at this time, everyone was staring at themselves vigilantly, and a few of them were still pressing their hands on the hilt of the knife and looked ready to shoot at any time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are tired from the journey down here, and I don't know if it is convenient for you to rest here."

Li Qing didn't seem to be shocked by the scene in front of him, but calmly arched his hand to a few people.

Xu is few people saw that Li Qing's body shape was not like that of people in the rivers and lakes, and there was no weapon in his hand, so they immediately relaxed a lot.

One of the bearded men also laughed.

"It's all about going out to beg for a living, not to mention that we are only one step ahead, so what's so convenient and inconvenient. The little brother came in. ”

"Thank you!"

Hearing this, Li Qing also bowed his hand again and walked into the mountain temple.

When a few people saw Li Qing coming over, they also moved out of a position, but it was a corner, and there were people on the left and right.

Apparently still on guard.

Li Qing didn't care about this when he saw this, he just glanced at a few large boxes with seals behind the bearded man, and then calmly sat down in the vacant position.

Then he didn't care about everyone's eyes, closed his eyes and breathed.

There was silence in the mountain temple for a while, and these people saw that Li Qing was still with his eyes closed, and he didn't pay attention to continue talking without any other movements, but they didn't continue the topic just now, but chatted with each other.

In this way, about half an hour passed, during which there was no communication between the two sides.

Until the only woman spoke.

"Hey, who's over there, would you like something to eat?"

Li Qing opened his eyes and saw the woman in a purple suit next to Luo Hu, holding a branch in her hand and looking at her.

"No, thank you."

Li Qing didn't even hesitate at all, although the other party was just a mortal in the rivers and lakes, and he almost didn't pose any threat to himself. But he still rejected the other party's kindness.

However, Li Qing thought about it, and people also expressed kindness. It's always a bit rude for me to refuse so bluntly, so I added a sentence.

"I already ate it on the way when I came!"
