The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

Hearing this, Li Qing immediately shook his head and said, "Madam, don't underestimate yourself. Your craftsmanship is truly extraordinary."

Then, he sincerely praised: "Although this bead has a little white mist, it is not a big deal to me."

"We only need to set up a formation like we did on Qingxia Island, and we can turn it into a pure land for us to practice in peace."

Although his wife said that it was not refined to perfection and there was still white mist in the space, it was insignificant to Li Qing.

He further thought about how to arrange a formation inside the bead to isolate it from the intrusion of the white fog, while at the same time taking advantage of this unique environment to enhance the concealment effect.

He believed that in the near future, this bead would become a safe haven for their family, and no matter how turbulent the outside world was, they would be able to find peace and tranquility here.

What made Li Qing even more excited was that the concealment of this bead far exceeded his imagination.

This almost invisible concealment effect is exactly what he has been dreaming of.

He seemed to have seen the future. No matter what crisis the demon world encountered, they could rely on this bead to hide their bodies, protect their families, and get through every difficulty safely.

"Madam, with this pearl, we will have a truly safe place." Li Qing held Chi Feng's hand tightly, his eyes full of gratitude and affection, "No matter what the future holds, as long as we have this pearl, we can stay safe."

Chi Feng smiled gently when he heard that, and all his fatigue and hard work disappeared at that moment.

……

A few days later.

When the night was as dark as ink and the stars disappeared, in the dark room deep in the palace, Li Qing's figure once again sat quietly on the old wooden chair where he had meditated countless times.

The flickering candlelight in the room illuminated his handsome face, adding a sense of unknown depth and mystery.

His eyes were closed, as if he was isolated from the world. Only the bracelet in his hand, which emitted a faint glow, became his only bridge connecting him to the outside world.

The bracelet contains countless complex and subtle fluctuations, which are messages transmitted by various forces through special means, and each one is related to the grand plan he has been planning for many years.

These ten years were not a long time for Li Qing, and his plan had made progress.

At that time, at the gathering that brought together the elites of all the major forces of the demon clan, he single-handedly made an impassioned speech and proposed an unprecedented grand plan to all the forces present.

We hope to unite the forces of all races, plan for the future of the demon race, break the conspiracy of the devil, and achieve true prosperity for the demon race.

This proposal was like a bolt from the blue, causing ripples.

As time goes by, this plan gradually reveals its far-reaching influence and vitality.

After weighing the pros and cons, most medium-sized forces chose to believe and join this group.

Among them are ancient and powerful beings like the Black Turtle Clan, who are known for their calmness and wisdom and have become important entities in the plan.

What is even more exciting is that the two major demon tribes, the Nine-tailed Fox Tribe and the Yin-Moon Wolf Tribe, have also expressed their support. Their joining will undoubtedly add more variables and possibilities to the entire plan.

However, not all forces were so easily convinced.

The attitudes of the three large forces that stand at the top of the demon clan are particularly complicated.

The Tianyu Demon Dynasty, with its arrogant attitude and powerful strength, rejected Li Qing's proposal without hesitation.

Although the Jiaolong Clan and the Five Elements Qilin Clan also rejected Li Qing, their reasons revealed the deep obsession with bloodline and talent within the demon clan.

The reasons for the two forces' refusal were similar, that is, they did not believe that Li Qing could be promoted to the sixth level with his talent.

They believed that although Li Qing performed well in cultivation skills, this was not enough for him to break through to a higher level.

In their opinion, the talent potential of a cultivator is limited, and Li Qing has already demonstrated his limits.

In contrast, they are more willing to invest resources in those tribesmen with higher talent potential.

These tribesmen may come from their respective families or ethnic groups. They have better bloodlines and talents and are more likely to break through to a higher level.

After all, the talent and potential of the demon race is linked to their bloodline. They are the royal family among the demons, with noble bloodlines, and there are some with extremely pure bloodlines in the tribe. These demons are regarded as the hope of the future and are worth investing more resources in cultivating.

As for Li Qing, apart from his superb cultivation skills and extremely strong physical talent due to being a member of the Tianpeng clan, his talent is not particularly outstanding compared to other major forces.

His bloodline is not top-notch, and he is relatively old, which makes it more difficult for him to be promoted to the sixth level.

In addition, Li Qing's character is also a problem.

He was too murderous, just like the Prince of Fengyang. Just a quarrel, before he could react, Fengyang was dead.

This personality trait makes it easy for him to take detours in his cultivation and may even lead to failure.

Taking all the above factors into consideration, the Jiaolong Clan and the Five Elements Qilin Clan decided to reject Li Qing's request.

They believed that instead of investing limited resources in Li Qing, whose future was unpredictable, it would be better to concentrate on cultivating those children in the clan with extremely pure blood and extraordinary talents to ensure the continued prosperity of their own race.

Li Qing knew very well that the rejection of these major forces could not be easily changed, but he was not discouraged.

It is worth mentioning that during the in-depth conversation with the Golden Dragon Demon Lord, Li Qing could clearly feel the sincerity and understanding revealed in the other party’s words.

It was a sincere attempt to seek cooperation across racial boundaries.

The Golden Dragon Demon Lord spoke slowly, his words revealing a bit of helplessness and regret.

He explained that although he had great interest and expectations in Li Qing's plan, the internal affairs of the Jiaolong clan were complicated, and the decision-making power was not entirely in the hands of him, a single demon. Therefore, his previous refusal was out of necessity and not his original intention.

However, just when Li Qing thought that this conversation would move towards reconciliation and new cooperation, the next words of the Golden Dragon Demon Lord were like cold water poured on his head, and the warmth in his heart instantly dissipated.
