Chapter 524: The glutton breaks through the barrier "Senior Wuji, this small spirit gathering array has been set up. Although this array does not have the effect of locking spirits, it can draw the spiritual energy around the entire spirit peak into your cave." "In addition, this small spirit gathering array also leaves an array eye for melting spirit stones as you requested, which is here." In Li Qing's cave on Bailian Peak, a young-looking foundation-building cultivator pointed to a position of the array on the ground with a respectful expression. That's right, in order to make the spiritual energy in his cave more abundant, Li Qing still invited a second-level array master from outside to set up a small spirit gathering array in his cave. This is not the kind of spirit gathering array with a wide coverage, nor is it the spirit gathering array with the effect of locking the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the southern region of the Great Wilderness. He only needs to let his cave be covered by the spirit gathering array, so inviting a second-level array master to set it up is more than enough. Li Qing looked around his cave, looking at the formation flags and buried spiritual materials in each corner. "It's effective. I can feel that the spiritual energy from the outside world has begun to be attracted and gathered." Li Qing nodded with satisfaction, and then he took out two spiritual stones and threw them into one of the formation eyes.
Buzz! Soon, under the effect of the formation, the spiritual energy in the two spiritual stones was extracted at a very fast speed, and finally dissolved in the air, making the spiritual energy in the cave more abundant. "Not bad, but the only disadvantage is that it consumes spiritual stones." If you think about it, it's almost time to advance. Buzz! The spiritual stones melted, and a large amount of spiritual energy continued to escape, making the spiritual energy in the cave more concentrated! In fact, the latter also understood the additional meaning in Li Qing's words, that is, this Wuji Zhenren didn't want to owe him any more favors, and the accounts had to be settled. "Senior Wuji, I'll take my leave now. If there's anything else that needs maintenance, please feel free to come find me!" "As long as Senior Wuji is satisfied! If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first!" This young formation master was quite sensible, and he didn't even mention charging for the spirit stones for setting up the formation. Now he only set up a small spirit gathering formation, and he got 600 spirit stones, which is definitely a good deal. There's really no other way. Although the cultivation civilization in the Great Wilderness is extremely prosperous, and there are many spiritual veins in the entire domain, those truly superior spirit veins are basically owned. "If it weren't for the more than 30,000 spirit stones funded by fellow Daoist Chifa, I'm afraid I would find it difficult to afford such a luxurious expense." Li Qing couldn't consider either of these two options, so he could only use this way of consuming spirit stones to improve the spiritual environment of the cave. Although it still can't be compared with the spirit veins of the Ghost Sword Sect, there won't be a particularly big gap, and it is definitely enough for Li Qing's daily practice. This is also a way for array masters to accumulate connections. If they stay in a place for a long time and help others set up arrays, they can earn a lot of spirit stones just by maintaining arrays for others. So array masters can also earn a sum of spirit stones by helping others maintain and repair arrays. Li Qing still has a third-level red crystal on hand, and Fan Tong has been waiting for a long time since returning from the Polar Night World. If you want to practice in that kind of place, you either join a powerful immortal sect or seize other people's territory. "You can keep these six medium-grade spirit stones, don't be modest to me anymore."
The reward of 600 spirit stones is definitely quite generous. According to his previous arrangement of arrays for others, even if he provided all the materials for the arrays himself, the reward is only about 400 to 500 spirit stones. But after all, the world is running, the seasons change, and after all kinds of ups and downs, once time passes, there will always be some small problems. This guy doesn't charge spirit stones here, it's nothing more than another plot, maybe there will be bigger troubles to ask him in the future. As he spoke, Li Qing could not help but sigh. "Then I will obey your orders. Thank you, Senior Wuji!" The man smiled bitterly and finally accepted the spirit stones given by Li Qing. If it weren't for Chi Jing's help, I'm afraid it would take a long time for Fan Tong to advance. After speaking, the young array master took the six medium-grade spirit stones given by Li Qing and left. Having lived two lives, he knows one thing very well: free things are always the most expensive. The reason why so many preparations were made is that Li Qing still has a lot to do next. "No matter what problems the array has within five years, I can maintain it for you, and I don't need to charge any spirit stones." The spiritual energy is even richer than usual! Feeling the abundant spiritual energy around him, Li Qing was still not satisfied. He took out hundreds of low-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and then put them all into the array eye. "Next, it's time to get down to business!" "Besides, you are a formation master. If you continue to practice this in the future, the cost of spirit stones will be even greater." First, let the glutton advance! Li Qing's words were well-reasoned, and with just a few words, the young formation master stopped refusing. Li Qing didn't want to see that happen. He had just received a large number of spirit stones from the storage bag of the Red Haired Immortal, and he was not short of spirit stones at the moment. In this regard, Li Qing not only did not feel the slightest bit of joy, but instead showed a little displeasure. So it would be best if the problem could be solved with spirit stones, so as to avoid the little guy feeling that he owed him a favor. After the initial formation of the spirit gathering array, Li Qing's cave had already gathered a considerable amount of spiritual energy. "You should keep these spirit stones, so as not to let outsiders think that I, Wuji Zhenren, bully the weak." As soon as these words came out, the young array master immediately said in fear: "How dare I take your spirit stones? I just set up a small spirit gathering array. I didn't put in any effort at all, so I don't need spirit stones." "It's not easy to practice in the foundation-building period. Not only do you have to buy various elixirs to increase your mana, but you also have to collect elixir spirit objects in the future. How can you not lack spirit stones?" Although generally speaking, as long as the array is operating normally, there are basically few problems. But Li Qing is not the kind of cultivator who likes to owe others things. He frowned slightly and said, "Wait, how many spirit stones did you spend on setting up this formation? I will give them all to you now." This is a formation master. Unlike an alchemist or a weapon refiner, he does not do a one-time deal. With this in mind, Li Qing released the rice bucket from the beast bag. "Aohou!"
The rice bucket, which has shrunk in size, is still very imposing, showing the breath of a real beast from head to toe, which makes people tremble. But in front of Li Qing, it is still a very well-behaved pet. "I know you have been longing for this red crystal for a long time. I hope you are ready." Li Qing's face is quite solemn. It has never been an easy thing for a demon beast to advance. The dangers to be faced here are no less than when he formed a pill, and it is even more difficult. After all, demon beasts pay much attention to blood! If the blood is not strong enough, the hope of advancing to a high-level demon beast is extremely slim. Relying on red crystal to advance, the danger level will increase a bit, because Fan Tong will face the impact of the strong evil spirit in the red crystal. The evil spirit contained in it is too strong, even if it is poured with some blood, it can't dissolve too much, and the only way is to bear it. If you can't bear it, your mind will fall into madness and become the same as the strange beasts in the polar night world, without any difference. And if you bear it, then the sea and sky will be wide, and a newer world will open to Fan Tong! "Ah!" Fan Tong's roar was also quite resolute, and it had no reason to retreat. Listening to this roar that was full of energy and enough to shake the entire spiritual peak, Li Qing nodded slowly, and then took out the last red crystal on his body from the storage bag. The dark red crystal core is extremely strange, and just looking at it makes you feel lost. "Since you have made up your mind, I will not say more." "I can't help you much on this road. Everything depends on yourself. Once you move forward, you can't turn back." After saying that, Li Qing put down the fist-sized red crystal and placed it in front of Fan Tong. After many warnings, Fan Tong seemed to understand how severe the test he would face this time was. It stared at the red crystal on the ground with its fierce tiger eyes, and then swallowed it without hesitation. "Crack!" In an instant, even Li Qing, who was a bystander, felt a palpitation at this moment. The slightly leaked red moon secret power almost affected his mind slightly. Boom! A breathtaking breath wave came from Fan Tong's tiger body, and then quickly spread out. The transformation is about to begin! \u0026t;divtentadv\u0026gt;Li Qing calmed down his inner emotions, and then began to set up layers of strict restrictions in the cave. These restrictions were used to isolate the fluctuations of breath generated when Fan Tong broke through the barrier. He didn't want the outside world to know that there was a monster here rushing towards the third level. Of course, at the last moment, once Fan Tong really broke through the barrier, the movement at that time would definitely be difficult to cover up. But for now, it would be as long as it could be covered up. Soon, the restrictions to isolate the fluctuations of breath were initially formed, and the outside world could no longer feel the breath of Li Qing's cave, unless the cultivation level was far superior to Li Qing.
"Roar!" After swallowing the red crystal, Fan Tong lay on the ground and began to roar. The roar was filled with strong fierce emotions, and the wildness and madness that belonged to the monster in its bones were completely stimulated by the third-level red crystal. During this process, Li Qing always stared at Fan Tong, keeping an eye on it, fearing that it would have any accidents. Once there was something wrong, he would naturally not watch Fan Tong fall into madness and lose his mind. At this time, the spiritual energy in the cave was very rich, which was just the right environment for the demon beast to transform and break through the realm. Li Qing added dozens of spiritual stones to the array eye, so that the spiritual energy here continued to be abundant. Soon, a more powerful transformation began. The sound of bones breaking came from the body of the rice bucket, which made people feel palpitations. This is not over yet. The dark red fur of the rice bucket turned into black at this moment, and not even a trace of red could be seen. At this moment, it completely turned into a black tiger, its whole body was as black as ink, as if it was going to merge with the darkness in the cave. This is not over yet. Li Qing, who was watching, suddenly found that in the black fur of the rice bucket, there were bursts of Yin Qi. "This crystal core was taken from a Yin python. Could it be that this red crystal also carries some of the characteristics of its owner in his lifetime?" If this continues, wouldn't it mean that Fan Tong will transform into a Yin tiger next, with a sinister Yin aura all over his body? Li Qing still knows too little about these transformations, and he has no chance to do more research. So at this moment, he doesn't know whether this transformation is good or bad for Fan Tong, and it can only be decided by itself. Just as Li Qing had told him before, after embarking on this road, Fan Tong can only rely on himself. The Yin aura on Fan Tong's body became more and more dense, and its pair of heterochromatic tiger eyes also began to transform at this moment. The black and red heterochromatic pupils turned dark again at this moment, as if there was an abyss in the tiger eyes. This is not over yet. Li Qing suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a little bit of madness accumulating in Fan Tong's tiger eyes. Obviously, this third-level red crystal has begun to affect Fan Tong's mind. After seeing this scene, Li Qing couldn't help but clench his fists. Everything has a price. If you want to rely on red crystal to gain power more easily, you have to bear its huge negative effects. The crystal core taken from this third-level beast is no longer something that ordinary monsters can bear. If the bloodline is not strong enough, accidents may occur at any time. Swish! On the tiger paw of the rice bucket, sharp claws like barbs suddenly popped out. The hard rock ground in the cave seemed more fragile than tofu at this moment, and was easily pierced by the rice bucket's claws. Several deep claw marks appeared on the rock ground, which showed how powerful the rice bucket's claws were now.
"Roar!" The rice bucket roared, and the madness became stronger and stronger, and its voice was full of pain. In this regard, Li Qing could only stand by and watch. The only thing he could do was to add a few spirit stones to the eye of the formation to keep the spiritual energy in the cave full. In a blink of an eye, this transformation has lasted for several days. The Yin energy on Fan Tong's body is getting stronger and stronger, and the madness in his eyes is getting stronger. If Li Qing hadn't stood in front of it, anyone would have been torn to pieces by Fan Tong's claws. But this transformation is still going on, and Fan Tong's mind seems to be reaching its limit. At this moment, Li Qing can even sense that there is a lot of Red Moon Secret Power overflowing in his cave. Fan Tong, who is about to reach his limit, looks at Li Qing with a strange look in his eyes. Li Qing is not unfamiliar with this. He has killed countless strange beasts in the polar night world, and this look is the same as those of the strange beasts. Li Qing's heart is trembling slightly, and his knuckles are pinched white. Recalling the scenes he has experienced in this life, Fan Tong has always been by his side. Is it really the end now? Li Qing stretched out his hand tremblingly, trying to stop Fan Tong from continuing to transform. He could not accept such a partner completely losing his intelligence and turning into a beast that only knew how to kill. However, Fan Tong, who still maintained a trace of clarity in the end, also felt Li Qing's intention. It shook its tiger head and growled in refusal: "Aohou! Aohou!" It has its own stubbornness. Since it has embarked on this road, it is naturally unwilling to stop here. In that case, not only will the work fail, but even the foundation will be extremely damaged, and the hope of future advancement will be even more slim. The transformation cannot be interrupted! Fan Tong's meaning was quite clear. Li Qing heard the refusal in its roar, and he finally did not stretch out his hand. "Why don't you just forget it? When I have achieved success in my cultivation, I will definitely find you some natural treasures to help you pass this level." "The secret power of the red moon contained in the third-level red crystal is still too heavy. With your current bloodline, it is difficult to digest it completely." Li Qing whispered, looking at the tenacious and stubborn glutton, he was deeply touched. Even though he had a low bone structure and ordinary bloodline, he could reach this point today by relying on this stubbornness and ruthlessness. "Speaking of which, you are really a bit like me. You have mediocre talent, but you still want to climb up." "When I brought you back, you were not even as big as a cat. Who would have thought that you could reach this point today?" "A third-level monster beast, it can be a rampant existence in this world, right?" As he spoke, Li Qing patted the body of the rice bucket, and then said in a deep voice:
"Get through, I won't allow you to fall so early." "In the future, we will see more scenery and appreciate more wonderful things in the world of cultivation!" "This is not over yet. One day, I will take you to ascend to the upper realm together. The road is still long." "How can this little predicament stop you and me?" As he spoke, Li Qing's tone trembled a little. He felt that the rice bucket seemed to have reached its limit. Its bloodline was not enough to support it to complete such an exaggerated transformation. Strictly speaking, the restrictions of the bloodline of monsters on themselves are far greater than the restrictions of the spiritual roots of human cultivation. It is definitely harder than ascending to heaven for an ordinary demon beast bloodline to achieve a stronger realm. If Fan Tong really fell into madness at this moment, Li Qing asked himself if he could kill it with his own hands. So he had been preparing. As long as Fan Tong fell completely crazy, he would find a way to knock him out and seal him up. But he didn't know what kind of harm this would cause to Fan Tong. The words "failed transformation" alone were serious enough. Finally, Li Qing saw that the last bit of clarity in Fan Tong's pupils was drowned by madness. It was like a small sailboat on the rough sea, covered by huge waves. "Roar!" A fierce roar resounded from the cave, shaking the entire Bailian Peak!
