Once he became a free cultivator again, without the support behind him, even Li Qing felt a little uncomfortable for a while. He might be bound by some rules in the sect, but it was much better than the life of a lonely person now. However, things have already happened. Since there is no way to change it, Li Qing can only try his best to adapt. Next, he rested in the territory of Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce for several days. After his injuries recovered a lot, Li Qing decided to go out and start collecting some information about the Great Wilderness. "Although I have become a lonely person, I still have to live." "What are you cultivating when you cultivate the Tao? It's nothing more than fighting for your way through this road." Li Qing sighed, with mixed feelings in his heart. The peaceful life of cultivation was broken by Shangqing Sect and Chi Mo Clan, and the next journey was destined to become bumpy. As a free cultivator, Li Qing naturally understood how difficult this road was. The only good news now is that he is already a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, and his combat power is not bad. With all the means on his body, he can fight even if he encounters an opponent in the late stage of foundation building.
At least he has a certain ability to protect himself, not as weak as in the previous Qi Refining Stage. After leaving the territory of Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce, Li Qing wandered around and walked around Xiangyang City. "First of all, we have to find a suitable spiritual vein. No matter what, cultivation must not be delayed." "Only the improvement of one's own strength is the real meaning. No matter what you want to do in the future, you can't do without your own cultivation." In this way, Li Qing wandered around the city alone for a long time, and finally found a restaurant where many immortal cultivators gathered. Li Qing deeply understood that as a casual cultivator, he must make more friends with other cultivators and broaden his network of information. Especially when he knows nothing about the surrounding area now, he must get more information, and at the very least, he must ask where there are spiritual vein caves available for rent nearby. This building is open to the wind. As soon as Li Qing walked into it, a mortal servant came up to greet him with a flattering smile on his face. "Master, please come in!" The servant was very perceptive. Although he was just a mortal without spiritual roots, he immediately saw Li Qing's identity as a cultivator from the storage bag and beast bag hanging on Li Qing's waist. Li Qing nodded slightly, and then followed the servant to the restaurant. At this time, many cultivators were already seated in the restaurant, talking in groups of three or five. "Master, what kind of wine would you like to drink? We have it in Huafeng Building." As the servant reported a series of wine and dish names, Li Qing smiled lightly and said, "Let's have a pot of Eight Immortals Brew, and a dish of cold braised treasure chicken." "Okay, Master, wait a moment!" The servant said neatly. While waiting quietly, Li Qing closed his eyes slightly, and with the help of his keen hearing, he took in all the loud discussions of the monks around him. "If you ask me, the Moon-Chu Palace has been in seclusion for so long, and this time it actually went to war against the Ancient Hua Immortal Dynasty for a female disciple. This matter is definitely not that simple." "Could it be that the Moon-Chu Palace also wants to attack the declining Ancient Hua Immortal Dynasty? That's really a case of everyone pushing down when the wall falls." "How could it be? The Moon-Chu Palace has never participated in any disputes between forces. This time there must be something else going on." "Hehe, maybe the identity of that female disciple is not simple? You know, the Moon-Chu Palace has not selected a new saint for nearly a hundred years. It's about time for the new saint to be born, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the monks in the entire restaurant turned their attention to the monk who made the conclusion about the saint, and even Li Qing was no exception. "Brother, do you know something? Please tell me quickly!" "Yes, yes, you can tell me more. Could it be that the female disciple is the newly selected saint of Zhuyue Palace?" It can only be said that everyone has a gossipy heart. Faced with such secrets, even immortal cultivators are not immune. "Well, what can I, a mere mountain man, know? I'm just guessing." The person who said this was a middle-aged Taoist who looked like an old charlatan, with a goatee and a green Taoist robe. "Waiter, quickly give this Taoist a pot of Eight Immortals Brew, so that this Taoist can tell us about it." "Okay! A pot of Eight Immortals Brew!" Soon, the servant came up with two pots of Eight Immortals Brew and a plate of cold braised treasure chicken, and his movements were very neat and tidy. "Hey, hey, hey, what's the matter? I haven't lived long enough. How dare I discuss the secrets of the Moon-Chasing Palace and the Ancient Hua Immortal Dynasty?" The middle-aged Taoist priest pretended to be terrified. However, the others laughed loudly and said, "Drunk talk is careless, and the wind blows it away! Taoist priest, just say whatever you want. We are all casual cultivators." "Yes, what kind of forces are the Moon-Chasing Palace and the Ancient Hua Immortal Dynasty? How could they care about us?" "Besides, our Julu Prefecture is the territory of the Ghost Sword Sect, which is far away from the Moon-Chasing Palace. What are you afraid of, Taoist priest? Are you trying to avoid drinking?" As the casual cultivators talked, the middle-aged Taoist priest picked up the wine pot and drank a sip. "Ha, then we have to start with the tradition of the Moon-Chasing Palace. It is said that there are two standards for the selection of the Saint in the Moon-Chasing Palace. The first is to win over other candidate Saints, and the second is to resonate with a strange moonstone in the palace." "Only if these two conditions are met at the same time, can one become a saint of the Moon Chasing Palace, both are indispensable!" "This is also the reason why no new saint has been born in the past hundred years. However, there were rumors just a year ago that the inherited moon stone of Zhuyue Palace had changed!" "You must know that every generation of saints from Zhuyue Palace can eventually become the palace master. Why does the declining Guhua Immortal Dynasty dare to provoke Zhuyue Palace at this time?" As soon as these words came out, everyone began to think about it. Li Qing, on the other hand, was just sipping the Eight Immortals wine presented to him alone, and tasting delicious dishes from time to time. Of course, he never missed a word of what these monks were talking about, he heard them all in his mind. After a long time like this, Li Qing finally had a certain understanding of the basic structure of the Great Wilderness Territory today. Ancient Hua Immortal Dynasty! There was once an extremely prosperous dynasty of cultivating immortals. In its most glorious period, its territory even spanned nearly half of the wilderness. Almost every generation of emperors are monks in the Nascent Soul stage! Unfortunately, there is no force that never sets. In the following years, the Ancient Hua Immortal Dynasty gradually declined, and in the Great Wilderness Territory, powerful immortal cultivating forces emerged one after another, such as the Ghost Sword Sect. In this situation where the wolves are eating the tigers, the complete collapse of the Guhua Immortal Dynasty has become almost inevitable. Now the hero of the Immortal Dynasty has entered his old age, but among the children he has given birth to over the years, either they have no spiritual roots, or their spiritual roots and qualifications are extremely poor!
In the past when it was at its peak, this would not have been a big problem. As long as they had spiritual root qualifications, the Ancient Hua Immortal Dynasty could rely on a large amount of cultivation resources to forcibly turn a prince into a Nascent Soul monk! If one person can't do it, then two or three are just a small problem for the prosperous Immortal Dynasty. But the current Guhua Immortal Dynasty cannot support such exaggerated resource consumption. Among the descendants of the emperor of Guhuaxian Dynasty, the one with the highest cultivation level is only in the early stage of forming pills, and this is the result of consuming a lot of resources. The prince does not know how to use the spiritual objects needed for forming pills. How many! If word spreads, it will definitely make some monks in the foundation building stage feel dizzy. "It's so sad that the ancient Hua Immortal Dynasty, which had suppressed the good and the evil so that even the combined forces could not defeat them, actually relied on this method to survive." "In order to arrange for the princess to join Zhuyue Palace to compete for the position of saint, I want to use this to win over a strong alliance. If you can use this method, it seems that the ancient Hua Immortal Dynasty is really at the end of the road." "Taoist Priest, who are you? You don't even know such secrets?" Just when someone wanted to pay attention to the identity of the middle-aged Taoist priest, they found that this person had disappeared without knowing when. Even Li Qing was slightly stunned, and then realized that today in the tavern, he must have met an expert in the game world! "No wonder he can tell so many secrets so clearly." Li Qing murmured to himself. At this moment, he truly realized how extraordinary the Great Desolate Territory was. In the past, it was rare to see even a Nascent Soul stage monk in Qingling Territory. Almost every top power here had a Nascent Soul stage monk. Even if you go to a restaurant to drink in a restaurant, you can bump into this kind of expert in the world of games and tell the secrets in detail. This is almost impossible to happen in Qingling Territory. "This realm is really exciting, but such excitement also comes with a lot of dangers that can kill people at any time. You have to be more cautious in the future." With this thought in his mind, Li Qing had already eaten up all the spiritual brew and dishes. He knocked on the table and called the waiter to pay. "This immortal master will receive a total of twenty-six spiritual stones from you!" So expensive! This is almost Li Qing's "I have something to ask you. If your answer satisfies me, I will reward you with these four spiritual stones." Li Qing said softly. As soon as these words came out, the boy's eyes lit up instantly. "Master Immortal, I don't know if you have anything to ask, just ask!" "As a child, I must know everything and talk about everything." Li Qing nodded and asked: "I just came to this city not long ago, and now I want to find a place to stay in the Spirit Vein Cave. Is there a suitable place nearby?" The boy quickly replied: "Yes, we have used formations to attract the spiritual energy of several spiritual veins from Xiangyang City, and the caves on those spiritual veins are also leased from outside!" "Master Immortal, if you want to rent a cave, I suggest you go to several spiritual peaks in the south outside the city. Not only can you live in seclusion and practice there, but there is also a market where immortal masters conduct daily transactions. Even many immortal masters in the foundation building period They will all be haunted!”
South outside the city. Li Qing silently remembered these words in his heart. It seemed that he would have to find time to go there in the future. "Well, that's right. I heard that there is Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce in the west of the city. I plan to go to Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce next. I don't know how reputable this chamber of commerce is. Tell me what you know about this chamber of commerce." This is to inquire about the Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce. After all, living in their place, Li Qing must find out the ins and outs of this chamber of commerce. "This is a long story. In fact, the Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce is quite famous in our Xiangyang City and has been established for a long time." "There is no need to worry about credibility. After all, if the credibility is not enough, the reputation will not be as loud as it is today." "As for the Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce, of course we have to start talking about it seven years ago. At that time, the leader of the Chamber of Commerce was Senior Mo Weifeng, a monk in the foundation building period." "Later." Li Qing listened quietly to some of the past events of Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce, and soon he knew the general situation in his heart. It was not complicated. Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce was founded by Mo Weifeng, who was the son of Old Man Mo and the father of Little Mo. Later, the situation of the Chamber of Commerce became increasingly prosperous. In order to gain a foothold in Xiangyang City, Mo Weifeng invited an alchemist he had made friends with to join the Chamber of Commerce, that is, Master Yan Dan. With a second-level alchemist in charge, Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce lived a better life in the city, attracting many cultivators in the Qi Refining Period. But the good times did not last long. One time, Mo Weifeng encountered an accident while traveling for business, and the entire business team was completely destroyed and could never come back. "Normally, someone of President Mo's status would not go on business in person. No one knows what he was going to escort that time!" "That year, it caused quite a stir in the city. Everyone was guessing what President Mo had gotten. Anyway, it was definitely worth a lot of money, which attracted the covetousness of others." "Later, Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce suffered heavy losses and never recovered. The pressure suddenly fell on Master Yan." "But fortunately, Master Yan's alchemy skills are really good. With this skill, he paid off a lot of bad debts owed by Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce." Then, here are some things that Li Qing knew. It's nothing more than Master Yan's intention to take Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce for himself, which is very reasonable. After all, if it weren't for him, Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce would have collapsed completely. "I see. Good, you keep these spirit stones, I give them to you!" Li Qing handed the spirit stones to the servant. "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master! I wish you a long and prosperous life!" the servant thanked him repeatedly. Just like that, with the servant's tearful voice, Li Qing left the restaurant and walked back to the west of the city. "You can't tell a person's heart from his face. He was almost used as a gun by old man Mo. He is such a shrewd person!" "Don't get involved in this muddy water. A casual cultivator should be prudent and protect himself. We must leave as soon as possible!"
