The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

Li Qing was not in a hurry to practice the secret technique right away. He had just started practicing the Dapeng Fuyao Jue and had now mastered the Nawu Jue. He needed to rest for a while.

Cultivation requires a balance between relaxation and tension. Now that there is no external threat, there is no need to put too much pressure on yourself.

Taking out the treasure bowl from Qingyu, Li Qing poured out the copied blood of Youtian Falcon and put it into the wooden bowl that had been used for a long time.

Now, measuring myself by comparison, I might have to call this wooden bowl a small cup.

This blood had just started to replicate and was still very little. Li Qing poured it out and poured it back again, preparing to continue replicating.

Now we need to copy the blood in order to compare it with the Soul-Feeding Pill, a spiritual cultivation elixir, to see which one can be used for cultivation faster.

After all, he was once very poor and had not been able to preserve his blood well, so the demonic power in his blood was lost seriously. It might not be as good as the elixir.

After arranging the things to be copied in the cornucopia in the past few days, Li Qing took out jade slips from Qingyu one by one.

These jade slips were obtained from the two enemies. Since he was preparing for a promotion and the jade slips required spiritual consciousness to view, Li Qing currently did not know the contents of them.

Li Qing picked up one of them at random, and his consciousness immediately sank into it, and a piece of information emerged in his mind.

This was a note on raising spiritual insects, mainly about cultivating spiritual bees. It was really useless to Li Qing, so he just glanced at it and threw it away.

Then continue to view the next one.

Just like this, after checking all the jade slips one after another, Li Qing looked at one of the somewhat damaged gray-white jade slips and fell into deep thought.

Ninety percent of these jade slips are useless. Most of them are insights into cultivation and notes on breeding spiritual beasts or insects. No secret techniques or the like have been found.

But it's not without gain.

Just like the jade slip that Li Qing is exploring now, it is actually a map of the entrance to a secret realm.

The map in this jade slip is lifelike, and there is also a piece of information about the origin of the secret realm.

Secret Realm of Blood Sea!

This is a secret trial realm of the Blood Demon Sect, a major demonic sect from a thousand years ago.

There are many rich and rare treasures inside, but because the evil sect was wiped out, the secret realm was abandoned and hidden in the void, and the entrance and the key to enter are nowhere to be found.

Li Qing had no interest in this secret place that had not been picked for thousands of years.

The information above clearly states that it is a secret trial realm for the foundation-building period, in which there are many spiritual objects for forming elixirs. It is obvious at first glance that it is a Gu refining field where disciples compete for the opportunity to form elixirs. It must be full of dangers.

Moreover, no one has entered for thousands of years, and the danger there is immeasurable.

What's more, if you only have the location but no key, there is no way you can get rich.

Putting down the jade slip, Li Qing then had an idea and took out a few things that looked like white jade from the bag of one of the spirit beasts beside him. They were insect eggs.

This is also the spoils in the spirit beast bag.

Sensing the vitality in them, Li Qing also felt a little regretful. As he had not taken care of them for six years, many of the insect eggs had become dead and lifeless.

There was originally a spirit beast and several spirit bees in the two spirit beast bags, but they all starved to death.

Fortunately, there was still a tenacious one among the eggs.

Carefully observing one of the insect eggs with his spiritual eyes and divine sense, Li Qing could clearly sense the faint vitality in it, and he immediately fell into deep thought.

If breeding spirit insects should also be considered an investment, right?

Spirit insects are famous for their rapid reproduction. If we cultivate a swarm of tens of thousands of them, and the numbers pile up, wouldn't our cultivation level increase like riding a rocket?

Li Qing was thinking about this in his mind, and felt that it was very feasible, but it was a pity that only one could survive.

There is no clear indication of what creatures can be invested in the technique. Li Qing can only guess that if the creatures invested in can be cultivated and improve their skills, he will get a reward.

At this point, those notes on cultivating spirit insects didn't seem so useless.

Li Qing immediately used his spiritual power to probe into one of the jade slips, and information emerged from it, which was a list of ancient strange insects and a list of ordinary spiritual insects.

It didn't take much time for Li Qing to find the identity of this insect egg in the list of common spirit insects.

Swift Wind Mantis.

Ranked 84th on the Spirit Insect List, it is famous for its extremely fast speed and sharp forelimbs.

After checking the information of this spirit insect, although it was ranked at the bottom, Li Qing felt that it was just average, but it was good enough.

There are tens of thousands of spiritual insects in the world, and being able to make it onto this ordinary spiritual insect list means that one has some potential and strength.

Of course, Li Qing doesn't need a very powerful spirit insect. He has a treasure bowl. Basically, as long as the spirit insect has a mouth, its cultivation level will continue to improve.

Li Qing immediately began to check how to hatch the spirit insect. After a careful inspection, he found that many of the spiritual objects he needed were found in the spoils of the two enemies.

This saved Li Qing a lot of trouble, and he immediately began to look up the formula for preparing the spiritual liquid needed to hatch insect eggs.

In this way, Li Qing began to get busy.

Li Qing had also heard of creatures like spirit insects during his time in the Beast Taming Sect.

This is a creature with extremely low intelligence. Its soul is more chaotic than that of a monster and it only acts according to instinct. Only when its cultivation reaches the fourth level will its soul become clearer and its intelligence improve.

Moreover, it is very difficult to transform. Rumor has it that only the spiritual world has spiritual insects that can transform.

However, although it lacks mental faculties, this creature is a complete killing machine.

In an unknown year, a terrible insect tide occurred on this continent, like a wave sweeping across the nine provinces, leaving no grass growing wherever it passed.

I don’t know who stopped the insect tide in the end, I can no longer remember.

Because of the powerful fighting ability of spirit insects, humans have studied the tiny but powerful insects, and thus created another path of cultivation, called "insect cultivation."

There is another powerful branch, which is called "Gu Xiu".

The cultivation methods of these insect cultivators are extremely evil, even more bizarre than those of demon cultivators.

In the early stage, one needs to use one's own body as an insect nest and raise a spirit insect with flesh and blood, so as to cultivate the affinity between the two and let the spirit insect recognize its master. This will reduce the risk of backlash.

After that, one must split off a piece of the soul and merge it into the chaotic soul of the spirit insect. This way, one can control it with the heart. With this prerequisite, one can also use secret methods to refine the spirit insect into an incarnation outside the body.

Thinking of what Xi Hezi once said, Li Qing was actually quite envious of the secret technique of incarnation.

Unfortunately, the two people who were killed did not have the insect cultivation inheritance.

three days later.

Li Qing dug a small hole in the corner of the bear cave and placed the insect eggs in it.

A ball of spiritual liquid was controlled by divine consciousness and poured onto the insect eggs.

This is what Li Qing wrote in his prescription. It is a nutrient solution obtained by refining spiritual essence from spiritual objects, and is specifically used for hatching Swift Mantis.

The spiritual liquid just used is only a small part. It is recorded in the cultivation notes that ten drops need to be poured every day and it will take half a month for it to hatch.

Watching the insect eggs absorb the spiritual fluid poured on them at an extremely fast speed, their originally weak vitality also increased.

Soon, as the spiritual liquid was completely absorbed, an even more intense vitality emanated.

Li Qing nodded with satisfaction.

In this way, we will finally have our first investor.
