The sky was getting brighter, and Li Qiao, who was practicing in a temporary cave somewhere, also opened his eyes at the same time, and then breathed out gently.
The spiritual power circulates over and over again in the body, and the progress of the body's spiritual transformation is very small. If you go at this speed, it will take at least a hundred years to transform the whole body into spiritual bones and reach the level of perfect foundation building.
There are those kind of ascetic monks in the world of immortality. They don't have enough resources and pills to help them, and they advance to different realms in a way that seems to make them sit on their butts. However, even this kind of ascetic monk is not something that anyone can become if they want to. Yes, in addition to great perseverance and perseverance, you must at least have a similar cultivation environment.
Otherwise, it's okay when practicing Qi and building the foundation, but once you reach the Golden Elixir realm, hard training is useless under normal circumstances.
Unknowingly, it had been ten years since he came out, and Li Qiao wanted to go back.
But it’s not enough yet, the accumulated resources are not enough.
If it is just to speed up the cultivation speed of the Foundation Establishment Period, the resources obtained now are enough. They can be exchanged for some elixirs used in the Foundation Establishment Period. The cultivation speed of the Foundation Establishment Period will not be as slow as that of the ascetic monks. As long as it is not more than a hundred years , generally staying in the foundation building period for thirty to forty years, forty to fifty years is acceptable.
Accumulating resources to be able to complete the Foundation Establishment Stage within ten years is not what a normal family monk should do. Moreover, it is impossible for the family to give all the auxiliary pills for the Foundation Establishment Stage to just one family monk. It can only be handed over to the family. With more resources, you can be more inclined to obtain elixirs.
The reason why he still needs to continue to accumulate resources is that in addition to normal cultivation, Li Qiao has another option that also requires a lot of resources, and that is to learn formations.
Because I have a certain understanding of this world of cultivating immortals, and I know that the higher you go, the harder it becomes to cultivate. They are all the same cultivators, so why should they stand out from others?
So brave and ruthless? A more powerful way to fight? It's somewhat useful, but only a little. If you want to keep going up, you don't just have to compete with monks of the same level, but you have to compete with many monks and even many cultivating forces that are higher than yourself.
If he can become a powerful formation master, it will definitely be a great help for his future cultivation path. It is precisely because of his ambition for his future cultivation path that Li Qiao must continue to accumulate resources in the dangerous world of cultivation, otherwise he will just Based on normal cultivation, Li Qiao didn't see much hope of getting ahead.
Although the reality may be that he doesn't even have much hope of becoming a Golden Elixir cultivator, but since he is preparing, he should take a longer view and don't advance to the Golden Elixir in the future. As a result, the Golden Elixir will be the pinnacle of his life's cultivation.
Although the world of cultivating immortals is dangerous, it will be much safer if you only operate in a relatively familiar area. However, if you choose this way, you will definitely have fewer opportunities to obtain cultivation resources. For people like Li Qiao who are active in a large area, although they have more opportunities, the possibility of encountering various crises is also greatly increased.
The dangers in the world of immortality cannot be avoided by being careful. Li Qiao has no doubt that if he continues like this for a long time, sooner or later he will die outside. But the choice has been made, so how can he give up so easily? He came out ready to die. Be mentally prepared outside.
In fact, Li Qiao can now choose to return to the family. The training resources in the foundation period are almost enough. As for learning formations, he has another option, which is to show off his special pupil skills in formations with the family in exchange for free learning from the family. The opportunity to gain knowledge about formations is very promising.
But after thinking about it, Li Qiao still gave up. In addition to some concerns about his own safety and Ah Piao's, he wanted to rely on the formation to stand out within the family, instead of letting other formation masters in the family stand out in the end. In that case, he would not be able to stand out in the family. The status within the country is still on the fringes and will not improve much.
If you can become the best formation master in the family, your family will have dedicated resources to train this special monk. Formation masters are notoriously difficult. If you are a formation master at the Golden Core stage, every family will help you improve. The chance of being promoted to a Nascent Soul cultivator is much easier than a normal Golden Core struggle.
You must know that the Li family is just a cultivating family. Although it has a long heritage, it has not reached the level of a sect. Therefore, excellent formation masters are indispensable. However, if there are too many excellent formation masters, they cannot afford to support them. If Li If Qiao handed over his pupil skills, then he would be better in the formation
The huge advantage is gone.
After some distracting thoughts flashed through his mind, time passed and the sky outside became brighter again. Li Qiao put away the small array he had arranged and came outside the temporary cave. He made a brief observation first to make sure there was nothing wrong. After danger, choose a direction and leave quickly.
At this time, he was already far away from the Immortal City area. He was surrounded by a desolate scenery. It was difficult to see other immortal cultivators nearby. After a few hours, Li Qiao's flying speed slowed down. The terrain has changed and it is an endless desert.
After first looking at the surrounding situation and finding nothing, Li Qiao began to continuously increase his flying altitude to check the specific conditions of this desert. If possible, he hoped to take a detour.
This kind of desert terrain has an advantage for cultivators, that is, after discovering danger in the distance, they can quickly use some sand dunes to hide their body, and then find a place to dig into the sand. As long as they hide deeper, it will be very easy. Hard to find.
In addition to the advantages, there are also disadvantages, that is, it is difficult to find any cultivation resources. It is not that there are none, but they are probably buried under the deep sand layer, which is laborious and difficult to find. Generally, casual cultivators are not willing to patronize them.
However, upon observation, I found that the scope of the desert was even larger than what I saw at first, blocking the entire front.
It is not impossible to walk along the edge of the desert, but this way, it is difficult for Li Qiao to determine his direction. You must know that the world of immortality is very big, and it is always changing directions. It is possible to lose your way in the end and not be able to find the way back. .
After only hesitating for a moment, Li Qiao no longer hesitated, but lowered the flying altitude, and then followed the previous route directly into the desert.
After entering the desert, Li Qiao's life was quite comfortable. He usually walked on the road normally, and when he needed to rest and restore his spiritual energy, he would dig into the sand. Later, he felt the comfort in this desert and felt that he was also comfortable at night. After there was no danger, he often traveled at night.
The desert at night changes from hot to cold, but compared with the silence during the day, the desert at night is a little more lively, and some unknown sandworms or scorpions will run out of the sand.
In a certain area, there were some small rustling sounds, which were some sand and stones vibrating. It was obvious that something was about to drill out of the sand. Judging from the size of a bucket, it did not look like sandworms or Little things like scorpions.
When the sound stopped, a strange head emerged from the sand first. It listened for a while, maybe because it didn't notice any danger, and then it dug its entire body out of the sand.
This creature is not big, only a few feet in size. It has a slender mouth and a body of scales.
After emerging from the desert, this creature kept moving, specifically feeding on some sandworms that were active in the desert. When the slender mouth opened, rows of fine and strong teeth could be seen, which somewhat shows that this guy is not a human being. Good stubble.
Originally this was a normal eating activity for it, but a figure constantly moving in the desert from far to near brought unexpected surprises to this creature's peaceful life.
Li Qiao was walking normally in the desert at night, and his consciousness spread around normally, checking everything around him. It had been some days since he entered the desert, but he hadn't seen the end yet. He could only say that the scope of this desert was really huge. It's huge, and since entering, nothing has been gained, which makes people just want to get out of here quickly.
At a certain moment, a strange guy suddenly appeared within the range of his spiritual consciousness. His spiritual consciousness could not clearly see the situation, but judging from the aura on his body, it was an unknown monster. The aura was not strong, indicating that he was very weak. .
Originally, Li Qiao didn't care much about this weak monster, but the abnormality that appeared when his spiritual consciousness swept over this guy made him realize that the leather armor on this monster should be a good anti-spiritual material. .
As the name suggests, anti-spiritual materials are materials that can prevent the detection of divine consciousness. There are many kinds of materials in the world of immortality that have such characteristics, and most of them are of low value.
But no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and what if the scales of this monster are a good material! And this is equivalent to being delivered to you, wouldn't it be a pity to let it go?
The moment he discovered this monster, Li Qiao resorted to
Flying sword, strike quickly.
Although this monster is not big and its strength is not strong, its alertness is not low at all. When it was enveloped by divine consciousness, it stopped moving at the same time, and just before Li Qiao took action, it plunged into the sand and rocks. Once drilled, the trace quickly disappeared.
Li Qiao took action several miles away. By the time Feijian arrived at the place where the monster was, he had already lost track of the opponent. Feijian plunged into the sand according to the place where the opponent disappeared before, but there was no gain.
Although the attack failed, Li Qiao did not give up easily. Instead, he changed direction and went straight to the place where the monster disappeared. After arriving at the place, he drilled into the sand with his flying sword and continued to look for the other party's figure.
If the monster thought it was safe hiding in the sand and parked somewhere, Li Qiao would be able to find it quickly. It was so close that once discovered, it would be impossible for the monster to escape.
But after an in-depth search, the monster was not found, but other discoveries were made.
Normally, the sand in the desert is hundreds or hundreds of feet deep, but Li Qiao only dived to a depth of twenty feet at most before encountering patches of rocks.
Is this desert so shallow? How could it be possible? It was not the first day that Li Qiao came in, and he had gone deep into the desert not once or twice. He had also tried to search under the desert before to see if he could find anything, but the depth of the desert sand, Let him briefly try his luck and then give up.
In order to answer the doubts in his heart, Li Qiao did not continue to search for the monster, but explored along the rock area he found. Finally, he flew out and looked at the nearby terrain. Soon he knew what was going on.
To be precise, under this desert, a mountain range appeared.
The possibility that mountains originally existed and were buried by the desert is basically very small. The biggest possibility is that the ground veins changed. A small mountain range slowly rose from under the desert. The terrain of the desert here is relatively high, and you can see how much of it is. Come out some.
But it was just a mountain range, buried in the desert, and usually there was just some extra sand on it. Li Qiao didn't pay much attention to it, and then turned his attention to how to capture the monster beast again.
Resources are collected bit by bit. If you feel that they are of little value, give up. Without very good luck, it is easy to get nothing in the end.
Since this monster lives here, it will definitely come out of the sand in the future, but it has just been frightened and may have to wait a little longer. Fortunately, just wait patiently.
Since he had to wait, a safer temporary cave was indispensable. Li Qiao set his sights on the mountains in the desert. After all, it was easier to build a cave in the rocks than to build a cave in the desert. Shizhong is much more comfortable.
But when building a temporary cave in a mountain range in the desert, it is inevitable to drill into the sand several times to find a relatively suitable place.
But before Li Qiao could find a suitable place, he noticed something was going on under the mountain range. At a certain mountain range, he actually felt a slight sound of digging. It didn't sound like the movement of a monster, but rather like a monk secretly digging. Carve out mountains.
After discovering this situation, Li Qiao knew that he had guessed wrong. There should be something in this mountain range. Otherwise, who would be able to imagine and dig out a large cave in this desolate place?
The most likely thing is that this is a spiritual vein, and monks are destroying the veins to dig for spiritual stones.
Once you have judged, it is easy to verify. Choose the mountain area in the center, go deep into it, feel it carefully, and find that the aura environment is slightly higher than outside, which proves that this is indeed a spiritual vein.
The spiritual veins in the world of immortality are not fixed. Some spiritual veins are destroyed and disappear between heaven and earth. However, after a long time, some mountains may become new spiritual veins, but this newly formed spiritual veins are very It is weak and has no value. After a long period of changes, under the constant influence of spiritual energy or earth veins, the spiritual veins will continue to grow and become useful to cultivators.
Basically, wherever there are large spiritual veins in the world of immortality, they are basically occupied by the forces of immortality. Some small spiritual veins with little value are either occupied by the forces of immortality, or the mountains are hollowed out and the spirits in the spiritual veins are taken away. stone.
Spiritual stones do not appear out of thin air, they come from various spiritual veins
From the situation here, it cannot be a large spiritual vein, but generally small spiritual veins can dig out medium-grade spiritual stones, which is good. Digging spiritual veins is not that easy, so it is not a discovery. Small spiritual veins are dug by monks.
Generally, only small spiritual veins where high-grade spiritual stones are likely to appear will be excavated by monks. Could it be that this is the one below?
