On the Longqian River, which is vast and wide, a black poisonous miasma as thin as mist is coming from the direction of Longze Lake. This black poisonous miasma is filled with the air of death and filth. If a monk who is in the period of refining his energy rashly inhales it, This kind of poisonous miasma will immediately paralyze the whole body and stagnate the movement of spiritual power.
In the past two months since the sudden change in Longze Lake, many qi-refining monks have either suffered a decline in their cultivation or have died or died due to inhaling this poisonous miasma.
Foundation-building monks are not afraid of this poisonous miasma.
However, this poisonous miasma has not always changed. It was not as poisonous as it is now. No one knows whether this poisonous miasma will one day mutate to the point where it can threaten the cultivation of foundation.
In order to stop the spread of the poisonous miasma on Longze Lake, several major forces in the Linyu Sea Area of the Vast Sea, and many small forces, worked together to spend a large amount of spiritual materials on the upper, middle and lower sections of the Longqian River, which is 58,000 miles long. Three formations were deployed that could stop the spread of this poisonous miasma. Among them, the formation located in the upper waters of the Longqian River was located more than 13,000 miles from Longze Lake to the Hanhai.
The terrain here is rather peculiar, and it is surrounded by many peaks, blocking wind and water. It is the place where natural embankments are built. Previously, there was a majestic embankment here. People nearby used it to divert water and irrigate farmland. This embankment is used all year round. There are officers and soldiers from nearby small countries guarding it.
However, due to the sudden changes in Longze Lake, the nearby small countries received news and all moved their entire country away from the vicinity of the dam and away from the Longqian River. Among them, there were countless incidents that occurred.
Although Longze Lake is located in Beize, the Longqian River originating from Longze Lake not only moisturizes the land of Beize, but is also the source of vitality for countless creatures and people in the north of Beize. Now Longze Lake has changed. Turning into a dead place, Long Qianjiang was also implicated. The many living creatures and people who depended on it for survival were probably going to die in countless numbers. It was really a disaster.
"The big shot of Dao Yizong stamps his feet and shows his majesty, and the millions of creatures below will wail and wait for death..." Lu Tianfang stood on the deck, leaning on the railing, looking at the majestic dike looming in front of him, as if he saw the dike. There are traces of excavations that have been washed away by the years.
Such a majestic dike has been standing across the Longqian River, which is more than a hundred miles wide and more than a thousand feet deep. It has been standing for hundreds of years.
Even a monk could not easily accomplish something, but it was built on the Longqian River by ordinary people with simple iron tools. This made Lu Tianfang feel shocked.
Apart from the shock, there was an inexplicable emotion.
"The one from Dao Yizong has returned to Dao Yizong to practice peacefully, but he left behind such a devastated place, a hell on earth. In this world, it is true that the strong dominate the world and the weak drown in the mire."
Lu Tianxin sighed secretly.
Immediately, he became more discerning.
He raised his head slightly and looked at the sky covered by miasma.
"If I could reach the sky, turn into a roc and fly around the infinite, I would be truly victorious, but countless men and women in the world would be obsessed with each other, drunken and intoxicated!" Lu Tianfang further strengthened his desire in his heart. For him at this time, all the beauty in the world is nothing but The smoke and clouds gather and disperse, and there is no longer any nostalgia.
Even the beautiful shadow that remained in Lu Tian's heart was no longer firmly rooted, but rather dimmed.
The spirit boat, which is more than ten feet long, in addition to the deck around the cabin, is a formation base with the handles of the monks in the late stage of Qi refining. ap.
There are seven formation bases in total, which are distributed in a streamlined manner on the spirit boat. The vicinity of each formation base has been cleared. Seven white lights rise from these seven formation bases, supporting the shield that covers the spirit boat.
The shield was translucent, as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind, but it protected the spirit boat safely, and it was traveling on the Longqian River that was filled with poisonous miasma. In fact, not to mention that the poisonous miasma was not so strong in Longqian River. River, even Longze Lake, which has been completely enveloped by poisonous miasma, this spirit boat can sail safely.
The formation arranged on this spirit boat, showing a translucent shield, is the second-grade formation owned by the Linyu Sea Area Monk Association to which Changming Island belongs, the Bailing Yuanfeng Formation, which has three elements, Three types of residual formations, seven-yuan and nine-yuan, are available. When all are laid out, twelve formation bases are needed.
The Bai Ling Yuan Wind Formation on the spirit boat has seven formation bases, which are seven elements. It can only activate a few
The power of Bai Ling Yuanfeng Formation, but even so, can block the ordinary third level of foundation building.
In the cabin, there are carved beams and painted columns.
Ancient houses, stacked one after another, like tall buildings connected together, were packed into the cabin.
On the bulkhead of the cabin, mysterious spiritual patterns spread out, and there is mist-like spiritual energy flowing on them. From a distance, it is like seeing a clear spring flowing on the rock wall, and bright pearls held up by lamp beads. , illuminated by the emitted light, the cabin really has a unique and celestial feeling.
Unfortunately, this ship is still too small after all.
There are only six rooms in the cabin.
Gu Qing was arranged in the cabin, in the room closest to the bottom floor. In front of the door, there was a beautiful ordinary woman standing. This woman was just wearing simple clothes, with a peach-shaped face, showing an extremely graceful fair figure. , putting on a frail look that is ready for you to pick up, with an almost solid smile on his face. It looks shockingly beautiful, but there is a feeling that if you look at the exquisite jade product, you are afraid that it will break in the next moment.
In the room behind the woman.
The black-robed figure sat cross-legged on the soft couch.
The soft couch here is extremely soft and comfortable, and it seems to be filled with the wings of some kind of monster. Sitting on it, bursts of warmth are transmitted into Gu Qing's body, and it has a somewhat auxiliary healing effect.
Gu Qing was slightly surprised.
But he didn't think deeply about it either.
Under the black robe, Gu Qing's face was pale, with slightly protruding black marks on it, criss-crossing it, looking hideous and terrifying.
These black marks were beating like life, and something seemed to be flowing inside them, but they were locked by the undetectable golden light on Gu Qing's skin, restricting them within the black marks, making it difficult to It spread into Gu Qing's limbs and bones and the meridians all over his body.
"The power of the ancient demon is truly wonderful."
"If I hadn't been decisive that day and wielded the power of the ancient demon again, I'm afraid I would have turned into a pile of withered bones in Longze Lake..."
Under the black robe, Gu Qing's eyes moved slightly.
He quietly looked at the pale golden bones around him, then casually crushed a few dim close-up talismans in his hand and sprinkled them into the room.
The reason why Gu Qing was able to burst out at extremely fast speeds without showing any aura before was because he activated this close talisman.
There are quite a lot of Near Talisman in Gu Qing's storage ring at the moment, there are more than twenty of them. Counting the few that he crushed at this time, his previous reserve of Near Talisman has actually reached thirty. !
These thirty Near Talisman were all Gu Qing's seal paintings in the world in the tripod. He originally wanted to use the Near Talisman when dealing with Li Hengyang. Unfortunately, Li Hengyang was too strong. He had no chance to use the Near Talisman. However, this Near Atmosphere The talisman is really good for traveling, and the movement is quite small.
"Today, Qing Xiaofang should not have sensed my activation of the Near Talisman... This Near Talisman activated silently. It is really a good talisman. Although it is only a second-order low-grade spiritual talisman, even if I reach the level of cultivation in the future, In the middle stage of foundation building, and even in the late stage of foundation building, you need to prepare more."
Gu Qing had some thoughts in his heart.
When all the remnants of the close-by talisman were gone, he stopped thinking about it and felt the severe pain that kept coming from his body. This pain was like maggots in the tarsus, inescapable, and so intense that it could not be intensified.
As the severe pain continued, traces of death energy escaped from Gu Qing's pale golden bones and his internal organs.
The death energy rooted in his bone marrow and internal organs is being slowly pulled out under the suppression of the ancient demon's power. As long as he pulls out all the death energy, he can exert most of his strength.
Before the death energy hidden deep in his body is completely removed, he can only use less than 30% of his strength. In addition, his previous cultivation level has declined a bit. At this time, the cultivation level he can exert is only It has barely reached the first level of Foundation Establishment, but it can't last too long.
Fortunately.
Even with this 30% strength, Gu Qing is still confident that he can deal with the casual cultivators of the second level of Foundation Establishment who are from ordinary wild backgrounds.
"I wonder if Qing Xiaofang is a monk from Yeluzi?" Gu Qing thought of the previous scene above the deck, with people standing on both sides.
He hugged and greeted the big man who greeted him, and made a slight estimate of this man's strength in his mind.
"Whether it's true or not, I can't offend him right now."
"If there is really any trouble on the road, you might as well help him without endangering yourself... When I go to the vast sea, I just need to meet a few colleagues. It would be great to have more good karma."
Gu Qingru thought.
Now that Li Hengyang is dead, the knife hanging on his head has disappeared, and he no longer has to do anything anonymous. From now on, in order to heal his wounds and improve his cultivation, he should have more contact with other monks of the same level. If there is any If necessary, joining a force is also within his scope of choice.
Thinking about this, Gu Qing put aside his distracting thoughts.
His current situation is still quite serious.
The physical injuries have no longer worsened, and are getting better under the influence of the ancient demon's power. However, the improvement is very slow. It is conservatively estimated that it will take only two years to completely destroy the bone marrow and internal organs of his body. Only when he is angry can it be removed completely. As for the black bumps accumulated around his body, it is easy to deal with. When the time comes, just peel off the skin and flesh.
It's just that before all the death energy in the bone marrow and internal organs of his body is pulled out, it is better to leave the black bulges on his body surface.
The death energy seemed to be attracted to each other, and the black protrusions that accumulated a large amount of death energy on his body surface could slightly speed up the process of removing the death energy from the bone marrow and internal organs of his body.
The physical injuries are probably like this.
Compared to his previous state of not being human, he was actually a lot better. At least the part of his body he had lost had grown back.
The damage to the road base has hardly improved at all.
Gu Qing looked at the sea of qi in his Dantian.
His spiritual consciousness swept over the five-color lotus platform in the Dantian Qi Sea. The dark sphere still made in the space of the stone tablet fell on the five-color lotus platform.
The five-color lotus platform that contains all his cultivation and soul power, that is, his Tao foundation, is already a bit illusory at this time. There is a deep crack on it, which almost divides the five-color lotus platform into two halves.
The previous five-color lotus platform had a restrained aura most of the time, but the current five-color lotus platform no longer had a restrained aura.
It is simply dull and has a sense of illusion!
Gu Qing's heart was extremely solemn.
"My cultivation has not regressed."
"It's just that my current state is extremely dangerous! Once the Dao Foundation collapses, even if I have the power of the ancient demon to protect me, I will probably be blown to pieces! Even my soul will be completely annihilated!"
"How to recover from damage to Daoji?"
Gu Qing's brows furrowed.
He brushed the storage ring at his fingertips, took out the Lingxu Tao's Order of Recruitment, and concentrated his spiritual consciousness into it. In the hall where missions were issued in the virtual world, he issued a mission to find something to heal the damage to the Taoist base.
God recognized the virtual world, and Gu Qing played with the Na Xian Ling.
He originally just wanted to enter the virtual world, and just wanted to find a way to restore the damage to his Dao foundation. He never thought that after entering the virtual world, his consciousness condensed into a body, and a cold sound transmission sounded in his ears. It explains that he gained a lot of authority after breaking through the foundation building.
Among them are the ability to participate in the auctions held by Lingxu Dao with the Naxian Order, and the ability to release one's own tasks in the hall where tasks are received in the virtual world. These two permissions are more attractive to Gu Qing.
"This is a lot more convenient."
"Lingxu Island's forces are all over the mainland, covertly and covertly. I expect that after my mission is released, there will be results soon..."
Gu Qing put away the order to accept talents.
He concentrated on sensing the blood demon fetus.
"Still in the stagnant space of the treasure of storage? After the master and disciples stole the blood demon fetus, why haven't they taken it out until now?" Gu Qing squinted his eyes, feeling a little surprised.
Gu Qing carefully sensed the situation of the blood demon fetus for a while. Although he was shocked and doubtful, he still did not take the risk of sinking his mind into the seed of consciousness.
He turned over his hand and took out a beautiful hollow bell.
This thing clearly belongs to him
Beast Taming Bell.
Speaking of which, this beast-taming bell can be regarded as one of the magic weapons that has been with him for the longest time. At present, he only has two magic weapons left. One of them is this beast-taming bell. The main reason is that this thing is only a middle-grade magic weapon. , even if he sold it, he wouldn't be able to get many spiritual stones, so he kept it.
As for the other magical weapon he currently possesses, it is the Desire Soul Banner. The Desire Soul Banner is also a middle-grade magical weapon and cannot be exchanged for many spiritual stones.
Gu Qing first focused his consciousness into the beast-controlling bell and checked the condition of the mutated red-tailed demon bee inside. This time, the mutated red-tailed demonic bee really helped him a lot, and he was certainly grateful.
"I will definitely get more monks' remains in the future to feed this little thing... I just don't know, besides the monks' remains, what else does this little thing eat?"
Gu Qing discovered that there was nothing wrong with this mutated red-tailed demon bee. He only took back his consciousness after falling into a deep sleep.
After tying the beast-controlling bell around his waist, the broken soul flag appeared in Gu Qing's hand. He briefly inspected the remaining souls in it, especially staying a little on Zhou Feng's soul.
"Zhou Feng really has some talent in this way."
"The rest of the soul bodies are getting weaker day by day, but Zhou Feng's soul body is several times stronger than before!" A strange color flashed through Gu Qing's eyes.
Immediately, Gu Qing just turned on the Soul Flag.
He sat on the soft couch and did not sacrifice any spiritual weapon.
After all, this place is not a safe place, and there may not be any powerful cultivators. Looking at it, if he takes out the Nine Wonderful Heavenly Flowers Treasure Wheel or the Fantasy Thunder Cauldron, he may cause trouble.
The Heavy Water Mysterious Pearl is just a low-grade spiritual weapon. There is no need to worry about it attracting the prying eyes of powerful people, but it is useless to take it out. The water in this section of the Longqian River has been polluted by the air of death and filth, and it is really impossible to refine it. Heavy water, Gu Qing had already tried this before boarding this ship.
"It's a bit strange that the filthy air is accompanied by the death air..." Gu Qing shook his black robe, and a trace of miasma fell from it. He waved his hand and shot out a five-color spiritual light to cover it.
Gu Qing looked at this wisp of miasma.
"The fact that it can be accompanied by the air of death means that this dirty air is not the ordinary air of heaven and earth! The air of death has no taste at all, so the stench that permeates the poisonous miasma originates from this dirty air..." Gu Qing said His spiritual consciousness peeled off the death energy and looked at the miasma which was much lighter and turned into gray.
At this time, only the filthy air remained in this miasma.
A trace of death air floated in the dark and silent room, and soon dissipated. The rest turned into gray miasma, and was caught by Gu Qing, who used his spiritual consciousness to probe carefully. After a long time, he withdrew his spiritual consciousness and imprisoned this wisp of gray miasma. The five-color spiritual power was also dissipated by him.
"This dirty air is not a single kind of air. It is composed of many kinds of air. There seems to be nothing strange about it..."
Gu Qing took out a medium-grade spiritual stone and held it in his hand.
After reintegrating the ancient demon's power, it seemed that it had no adverse impact on his practice. His Great Five Elements Condensation Method was still operating as usual, carrying spiritual power.
Gu Qing's eyes were slightly closed, and his mood gradually became lofty.
Five colors of spiritual power surged out of his body, and strands piled up all over him, turning into five colors of mist, making him feel like he was trapped in five colors of auspicious clouds. Due to the serious injury to his soul, it was already difficult for him to control the flow of spiritual power. As for why Qing Xiaofang and other cultivators did not sense spiritual power fluctuations around him, it was because the golden light on his body and the black protrusions sealed his spiritual power fluctuations within his body.
At this time, he entered the cultivation state, and this blockade would naturally be penetrated. Therefore, Qing Xiaofang, who was next door to the room, moved slightly.
"First level of foundation building? No, second level of foundation building!"
"This aura is sometimes strong and sometimes weak. Is he a monk who has just broken through to the second level of foundation building? This is consistent with the fact that he has been in seclusion for a long time. He has just broken through the realm. When he came out, he suddenly realized that the world had changed drastically. He had no choice but to travel far and carefully concealed himself. What a cultivator does!" Qing Xiaofang turned over, ignoring the jealousy beside him, stroking his short beard with his big hand, closing his eyes slightly, no longer paying attention to Gu Qing in the room on the side, and scanning his consciousness To all sides.
His spiritual consciousness swept around the spirit boat, and then scanned the surface of the Longqian River.
Up and down, it spread for dozens of miles, but Qing Xiaofang didn't notice anything strange. Only then did he withdraw his consciousness with satisfaction.
"There are three fellow Foundation Establishers on my boat, plus I'm a third-level Foundation Establishment person. Let's see who dares to bump into me without opening my eyes!" Qing Xiaofang thought as he turned over and grabbed a soft ball. , he smiled evilly, and once again brought out the spring scenery in the garden, causing waves of tenderness.
Qing Xiaofang didn't care at all whether the other ships would be in danger. As long as Jie Xiu didn't rob his ship, which was full of monks and relatives of the monks, the other ships he was responsible for escorting were just They are helpless low-level monks and ordinary people.
Qing Xiaofang could sense the spiritual energy fluctuations in Gu Qing's body, but Gu Qing could not hear the moving sounds in the next room.
In the blink of an eye, most of the day was spent practicing, and in the evening, all the five-color clouds around Gu Qing were sucked into his mouth and nose, and he let out a long breath.
"call……"
The turbid gas was black, with a strong sense of corrosion. After it rose up, it corroded the beams and pillars of the room, creating a shallow pit. In the shallow pit, black liquid fell, dripping, dripping onto the floor. Go up, Gu Qing took a few glances, shot out two flames with a snap of his fingers, and cleared the room.
He stood up and opened the door, just about to take a step forward.
"Huh? This woman..."
Gu Qing's eyes fell on the extremely hot-looking and beautiful ordinary young woman in front of the door. The woman's simple clothes were still on her body, her hands were folded and placed in front of her belly, with a stiff smile on her face. , most of the day passed, and this woman didn’t seem to move at all!
This is not Gu Qing's illusion.
For a foundation-building monk like him, he could already detect extremely subtle changes. He felt that the woman moved slightly, so she really didn't move at all. For humans, it is almost impossible.
"Senior." After Gu Qing looked over, the woman trembled slightly, then bowed and bowed, and then asked in a low and gentle voice, "Senior, what are your orders?"
Gu Qing already had some suspicions that this woman was a puppet refined by some secret method. Hearing what this woman said, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
"Looks like it's not what I thought..."
Gu Qing muttered to himself and said to the woman: "If I want to have a spiritual meal, please ask this girl to take me to the place where I can have a spiritual meal on this ship."
"yes."
There was some surprise in the depths of the woman's lowered eyes.
Although it was her first time to board the ship, she had always been familiar with it and knew that the immortal master treated mortals like animals.
Why is the man in black robe in front of me so polite?
Surprised, the woman was not stupid enough to ask questions, or to stay where she was and continue to be in a daze. After she responded, she twisted her slim waist and led Gu Qing in front of him.
This was not because the woman intended to seduce, but because she had been taught this way on the island since her spiritual roots were not detected when she was twelve years old. This walking posture has become her instinct.
Gu Qing had no intention of admiring the graceful figure of the stunning woman in front of him. To be fair, this woman's appearance was indeed excellent, and her skin was as smooth as a monk's, like a mature peach, and extremely charming.
But after all, Gu Qing is an old guy who has lived for more than a hundred years, and has long since given up his love. Even in the face of such beauty, he remains unmoved, and instead thinks about his injury.
Footsteps echoed in the corridors of the cabin.
The bright white light fell from the lamp beads. Gu Qing followed the woman who led the way and walked through an empty room next to him.
In front of the deserted room, the ordinary woman who was supposed to be standing here has disappeared and gone to no one knows where. In the room farther away, the sound of rushing footsteps suddenly came.
Bang!
There was a sound of footsteps, and the door of the room opened.
Uh-huh!
A black shadow came straight towards the woman who was leading Gu Qing.
