In the quiet stone room of the cave, a huge monster fur was spread out on the ground. This was found from the Nascent Soul monk's stored magic weapon.
In recent days, Li Qiao has been spending most of his time practicing. When he occasionally takes a break, he will ask a female cultivator to come in and communicate. The fur of this monster is used as a cushion. Although the cultivator can float, but in the This soft fur is particularly comfortable.
It has not been put away since it was laid on the ground. If it gets dirty, just use a cleaning technique and it will look new again.
With abundant cultivation resources, his cultivation speed can reach more than 20 times the normal speed. As long as he continues like this, in just a few years, Li Qiao's cultivation will reach Golden Core Perfection, and then within this sect Try to advance to Nascent Soul.
As for the idea of arranging a cave formation outside the sect, there is no longer any idea. If the monks who transform gods advance to return to the void, there will basically be no external forces to attack. If there are still coming, they will definitely not be able to defend it. When the time comes, The only option is to escape for one's life.
One day, when Li Qiao was practicing alone in the stone chamber, a white figure floated out of his body and began to circle around him. This kind of thing has happened many times before, yes it happened!
It was nothing at first, but when I focused on Ah Piao, I felt something different.
He hadn't noticed it before, but this time Li Qiao could feel that Ah Piao's aura was weaker than before. Although it was not obvious, it was still weakening!
This discovery made his heart tighten. In order to study Ah Piao's situation, he had also read many records about spirit ghosts. Under normal circumstances, spirit ghosts would not become weak. Once this happens, it means that the spirit ghost's life has entered a downward spiral. During this period, if there is no way to control it, it will continue to weaken until it eventually dies.
When spirit ghosts become weak, there are usually two situations: first, they continue to consume themselves and cannot be replenished; second, they have existed for too long and their own strength has not improved and they have begun to die naturally.
The world of immortality is fair to all lives. If you cannot continue to transcend, you will eventually face death, even spirit ghosts are no exception... Just when this thought flashed through Li Qiao's mind, he thought that Ah Piao died because he had lived too long. At this time, I thought about the scene where Ah Piao would occasionally come out to circle a few times, and a guess that I had never thought about before suddenly appeared in my mind: Does Ah Piao come out to look for food every time he comes out to circle?
Li Qiao has not seen any records on whether spirit ghosts can eat or not, because generally there is no problem in sealing spirit ghosts for decades or hundreds of years, and most of the monks who need to use spirit ghosts are The kind of monks who use spirit ghosts to death and constantly feed spirit ghosts do so in order to make the spirit ghosts grow or even upgrade.
There are some things that you just don't think about, but you will think of a lot when you think about them. If you are an ordinary monk who raises ghost ghosts and lets them out occasionally, you will probably look for food by yourself if you have the chance.
But except for killing people, this guy Ah Piao has never been more than two feet away from him! I didn't think this way before because I subconsciously thought that if Piao really needed to eat, she wouldn't be so stupid!
All of Ah Piao's performances flashed through his mind, and Li Qiao had to admit that Ah Piao's intelligence was very low, even lower than some normal spirit ghosts.
Is it because of the true spiritual tribulation back then? There is nothing wrong with me, but Ah Piao has suffered a lot of damage, so why is it so mentally weak?
Every time you go out, do you just want to come out to find something to eat? Did you go back stupidly after discovering nothing?
Yes, Piao stayed by his side for a long time and never received any supplement, so why did he become like this? Especially if you have been seriously injured before. Although it looks better, the impact is still there?
All kinds of thoughts kept appearing in his heart, and Li Qiao suddenly felt a little guilty. He had always been used to Ah Piao's existence and had never seriously thought about it! .z.
Maybe to other monks, the value of a spirit ghost is just one spirit ghost, but to Li Qiao, Ah Piao is an existence that has saved him more than once. It can be said that he is a partner and a relative.
Although his guess may be wrong, he cannot remain indifferent to such a situation.
Soon, when Li Qiao finished practicing, he quickly walked to the stone room. After coming out, he saw
A certain female cultivator, who was all white and pure, was waiting quietly at the door.
"I'll go out first!"
Just say it briefly and leave directly.
Faced with this situation, Li Yingzi was a little confused. Li Qiao would always come to her after practicing. It was basically a routine, but she didn't ask any more questions.
After leaving the cave, Li Qiao went straight to the collection pavilion where the sect collects various classics. Although there are no precious records of each family in the sect, the information about ghosts and the like is not worth keeping. , he basically browsed through the records of his own family to see if he could find a solution from the records of the other five immortal cultivating families.
Now for Li Qiao, he either has to find a way to feed the spirit ghosts within the sect.
Either find a suitable place for spirit ghosts to live, such as residual land, and go directly, but this will delay at least a few years.
Li Qiao didn't have much hope in finding a way within the sect, but he just ignored it and focused on promoting himself to Nascent Soul first? But in his heart he couldn't do it.
There is basically no difference in the records about spirit ghosts from several cultivating families. After some searching, I only found out more about several kinds of spiritual plants that grow in a ghostly environment from a book that resembles a miscellany.
If there was an environment where ghost energy could be found directly, what else would Lingzhi do? Even so, Li Qiao also noticed one of the spiritual plants. He had several of them. They were obtained by killing the golden elixir ghost cultivators when he was in the remnant land. They had always been thrown into the storage equipment. .
However, the records say that only the growing ghost vines are useful, and the ones Li Qiao had were stored in jade boxes. They could be refined into some elixirs by monks, but they were dead.
Normally, you should go back directly and wait until Ah Piao comes out next time to take out these ghost vines and see if they are of any use to Ah Piao. If not, then think of a solution.
But after every practice, Li Qiao consumes a lot of his soul. Although the pill can increase the recovery speed, it still needs a recovery time. Now he has nothing to do. He just thinks that if the dead ghost vine is not there, then the alchemist will Can this ghost vine be made useful?
"If I can't do it, I can ask other alchemists."
"I've never heard of anyone making elixirs for spirit ghosts..."
"Unheard of..."
After looking for several alchemists from his own family, Li Qiao gave up. He thought that if the method of ghost vine didn't work, he would go to the nearby place to find a suitable place for ghosts to live. If not, he would go to the remnant area and try again. have a look.
You can still practice outside the sect, but it's just not as safe as inside the sect.
In fact, the weakening of Ah Piao's aura will not have much impact within a few years. Li Qiao can wait until he is promoted to Nascent Soul.
But advancing to Yuanying is different from other realms. There is a high possibility that they will fall directly in the process of promotion. Since the establishment of Liuxiang Sect, there have been five Jindan monks who tried to advance to Yuanying. As a result, three died and were seriously injured. I tried two, but none of them succeeded.
There are hundreds of golden elixir monks in several cultivating families. There are a few golden elixir monks who are only short of one Transformation Pill. There are definitely more than five who can directly try to advance to Nascent Soul. However, some golden elixir monks are worried about failure and think Try to be more confident and not in a hurry.
In order for Li Qiao to have more longevity to deal with in the future realm, when he could be promoted to Nascent Soul, he didn't want to waste time. If he died, he would die.
It was nothing like this originally, but now regardless of Ah Piao, it would be okay if he advanced to Nascent Soul and died. If he was seriously injured, it would definitely take a long time to recover. Then he would probably see Ah Piao weakening in front of him, or even die directly. scene, so he wanted to deal with Ah Piao's matter before promotion.
If I die, everything will stop. If I live, I will do my best. This is the truest thought in Li Qiao's heart about Ah Piao.
After the search for the alchemist failed, Li Qiao returned to the cave and waited for Ah Piao to come out again, but before Ah Piao could come out again, a familiar monk came to the door.
"Fellow Daoist Li, we must help!"
Alchemist Xiyang is here, and it's a small favor if he needs help.
Although the cave now has a formation to prevent other monks from intruding, Xiyang is always worried about meeting the female Nascent Soul of the same clan that he has offended. Basically, he leaves the cave without any problems and waits for the completion of the golden elixir. Try to advance to Nascent Soul.
But how could a monk like him with a wide range of hobbies really resist staying in the cave all the time? So he wanted to build a short-distance teleportation array in his cave that could directly connect to a cave he found a good friend. middle. Although he could have done this kind of thing with his family's formation master, there was no guarantee that the secret would not be leaked, so he came to Li Qiao.
When the scene of the attack on the sect was played in the sect hall, many monks noticed Li Qiao and knew that his formation skills were not low, and Xiyang was one of them.
This was not difficult at all for Li Qiao, and he completed it quickly.
"Master Xi, do you know any way to cultivate spirit ghosts?" Before leaving, because he had been thinking about Ah Piao lately, Li Qiao asked in passing, but in fact he didn't have much hope.
"Let's make alchemy!" What Alchemist Xiyang blurted out surprised Li Qiao.
"But I asked the family's alchemist, and there is no elixir that spirit ghosts can use."
"Don't say you ask the alchemist of your own family, if you ask all the other alchemists in the sect, the answer is probably the same, but the alchemist and the alchemist are different. Those are just guys who stick to the rules. There is no such thing as If there are things that cannot be solved by alchemy, it is because the correct method of alchemy has not yet been found.”
After listening to the previous words, Li Qiao thought that the other party had a solution, but when he heard the next words, he realized that Xiyang was an alchemist who only saw alchemy except female cultivators. In his eyes, alchemy was basically equal to omnipotence.
"Can Master Xi make elixirs that spirit ghosts can use?" Li Qiao tried to ask.
After pondering for a moment, Xiyang replied: "It's a bit challenging. You can study it, but you need some Yin-type materials..."
Xiyang didn't say enough and only said to try, but Li Qiao decided to give it a try anyway, so he gave the opponent several materials including the ghost vine, which were mainly obtained by killing the golden elixir ghost cultivator at that time.
Originally, this matter was just something Li Qiao did casually. After that, he thought the other party would take a long time. However, only four or five days later, Xiyang came to the door with the refined items.
"I haven't done much research on spirit ghosts, and I'm not sure if it works, but it shouldn't be a big problem." Xiyang couldn't guarantee the effectiveness of this untried elixir, so she just told the truth.
"Is this an elixir?" Li Qiao asked uncertainly when he saw the colorless liquid in the jade bottle.
"This is the elixir! If you want to look like it, just wrap it with a shell, but that is not very convenient to use. Moreover, the spirit ghost has no body and cannot be taken directly. Put the elixir in this state and float it into the air little by little. Swaying is a way I came up with to take the elixir..." After a long introduction, the two briefly chatted for a few words, and Xiyang left directly.
He has the integrity of an alchemist and is only responsible for refining elixirs. What the other party does with this elixir to cultivate spirit ghosts has nothing to do with him and he has never asked about it from beginning to end.
To be honest, Li Qiao didn't have much confidence in this elixir. He just had a try attitude.
Soon after, when Ah Piao came out of the body and circled again, it was time to verify the results.
But this time, Ah Piao's aura was weaker than last time.
First, he took out the ghost vine, but Ah Piao had no reaction to it. Even if he placed it directly on the floating path, it would pass through directly, just like a very ordinary object.
Although such a result had been expected, it was inevitably a bit disappointing.
Then he took out the elixir refined by Master Xi. When the jade bottle was opened, Ah Piao had no reaction. However, Li Qiao did not give up directly. Instead, he followed the requirements of Master Xi and got some out. Spreading in the air.
As a result, there was no reaction. After the elixir fell on his body, he first slowed down, and then simply stopped in place.
Seeing this situation, Li Qiao did not waste time, but made another bold move, meticulously
Under observation, it was found that the tiny water droplets formed by this elixir obviously became smaller rapidly when passing through Ah Piao's body, while those outside Ah Piao's body showed no change.
However, Li Qiao did not waste the pills and pills scattered around, but swayed them down again under the control of his spiritual consciousness.
After all, it was a newly refined elixir, and he was not sure of its effect. After trying it briefly, Li Qiao stopped first, and the little guy Ah Piao started to float again after the elixir disappeared. It seemed that There is no problem.
Seeing such a scene, Li Qiao fed some more elixirs.
Before he floated back, he could clearly feel that his breath had recovered a little, which meant that the elixir was useful!
