The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

The next morning, Li Qing finally opened his eyes.

After resting for a day and a night, the fatigue from the journey and the consumed magic power were finally recovered.

After waking up, Li Qing did not hesitate to retract all the formations, flapped his wings and flew up into the clouds, flying towards the Netherworld.

It wasn't long before we reached our destination, a distance of more than a hundred miles.

Looking down, the Netherworld Abyss was still bustling. Many cultivators were coming and going at the cracks in the abyss. They were all foundation-building and Qi-refining cultivators. No Jindan cultivators were found in the vision of the Spirit Eye.

Some monks had rosy faces, obviously having reaped great rewards, while others were pale and looked listless, as if they had been severely injured by ghosts, but their eyes were shining.

In his mind, Li Qing began to recall the memories of the map in his hand.

The crack in the Netherworld Abyss covers an area of ​​hundreds of miles above the ground, but the tunnels in the two cliff walls below the abyss are not as simple as they appear on the surface.

The crisscrossing tunnels were extremely complicated, and no one knew who had dug them, but he felt that they were definitely not dug by ghosts.

Although the upper ten-mile-deep layer has been explored thoroughly over the years, the area covered by the tunnel becomes larger the deeper you go, far exceeding the scope shown in the upper layer of the Nether Abyss.

After a while, after determining the direction, Li Qing turned into a wisp of breeze and headed towards a deep place in the abyss, which was also the direction close to the mysterious tunnel.

After passing through the fog formed by the evil spirit of Huangquan and entering the abyss, Li Qing immediately observed the surrounding environment.

There was still a thin green mist surrounding him, blocking his vision, but Li Qing had the spiritual eyes, so it did not affect him.

If he is a cultivator, the range that his naked eye can see should not be far.

The spiritual energy is very thin, only evil spirit exists here, which is very unfriendly to him and it is very inconvenient to recover his demonic power.

The cliffs on both sides are filled with densely packed holes.

However, those demon cultivators who entered did not dare to stay in the crack. As soon as they went in, they immediately found a hole to enter.

Li Qing looked deeper into the crack, where the evil spirit of the Yellow Springs was even more intense, and his spirit-detecting eyes could only see a dark green color, with evil spirits occasionally passing through, and obvious light and shadows.

Originally, if there was no tunnel, Li Qing planned to fly directly from the middle crack all the way to the bottom floor, which would be faster.

And with the soul-detecting eyes, there is no need to worry about running into the lair of a third-level ghost.

It’s just that now there are different options.

At this moment, they should be not far from the entrance of the tunnel. Li Qing began to search according to his memory, comparing them with the map one by one.

Not long after, a breeze blew through the Netherworld Abyss, and the monks coming in and out of the surrounding area felt this strange wind. Their faces changed and their escape speed increased instantly, which also caused a commotion.

At this moment, Li Qing has entered a tunnel, which leads to many directions.

However, as long as you follow the instructions on the map and continue going deeper, you will come to a fork in the road, which is the mysterious tunnel.

The tunnel is very narrow, about eight or nine feet high and wide.

This is also the reason why Li Qing planned to fly directly from the crack to the depths.

It is simply impossible to use his huge body here. If his demonic energy is exhausted and he hasn't found the soul-stirring evil energy yet, after his demonic energy is exhausted and the wind is released, he might be crushed to death by the earth.

Of course this is a joke. It is impossible for Li Qing to stay until his demonic energy is almost exhausted and not come out.

If he doesn't find it, he can come back next time after his demonic power recovers. Anyway, he doesn't have to find the evil spirit within one day.

If you encounter an emergency, you can also swallow the Soul-Feeding Pill to restore your demonic power.

I flew down along the tunnel, following the path I remembered.

On the way, Li Qing also encountered many ghosts and monks, but they could hardly detect his presence, so he didn't intend to pay any attention to them.

Therefore, everything went very smoothly and Li Qing went down like this.

As we went deeper, we encountered fewer and fewer ghosts, until they disappeared completely in the end.

Along the way, when we reached the bottom of ten miles, we indeed did not encounter any ghosts. No wonder that evil cultivator could go all the way to such a deep place.

Li Qing moved at an extremely fast speed. He stopped on the way just to determine the direction. Soon he reached a place thirty miles underground, the end of the tunnel on the map.

But an illusion array appeared before his eyes, but this illusion array was only of the first level and could not be hidden at all in the eyes of the spirit detector.

As if remembering something, Li Qing took out a formation plate from Qingyu.

This was obtained from the storage bag of the demon cultivator. There was only a formation plate but no formation flag. He felt it was strange at the time, but now everything is clear.

This illusion array was set up on the wall of the tunnel. If he didn't have spiritual eyes, he would have overlooked it.

The breeze carried the array plate, and a demonic power was input into it. When the array patterns on the array plate glowed with spiritual light, Li Qing passed through the wall without any hindrance and entered the array.

Suddenly, as he entered, countless faint blue light spots appeared in Li Qing's eyes, which were a bit dazzling. The dark environment around him was also covered with a layer of blue gauze.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he finally understood what the opportunity of the demon cultivator was.

Behind the wall was a huge cave, but the walls of the cave were inlaid with countless pieces of minerals emitting a faint blue light.

Li Qing was familiar with this mineral, it was called "Netherworld Stone".

It is a second-level spiritual material, used to refine various soul-related magical instruments. One of the materials used for the flagpoles of the Yinhun Banners in the hands of the Ghost King Sect disciples is the Netherworld Stone.

As for why Li Qing knew him, it was also because of the Blood Demon. That year, he was learning how to carve the formation patterns of the Soul-Separation Formation.

The Blood Demon was also very talkative, and as they chatted they ended up talking about the materials for refining the formation.

The Netherworld Stone is one of them. He was impressed by the practicality of this spiritual material, just like the indispensable soul magic tools.

No matter what is being refined, as long as it is related to the soul path, it will be used.

Although it is a second-level spiritual material, it plays a role that is no less than that of third-level and fourth-level spiritual materials.

Especially the essence of the Netherworld Stone. If it is not added into the refining of the Soul Dao cultivator's natal magic weapon, it will be incomplete.

"Is there not a large vein of Netherstone here?"

Looking at the Netherworld Stones that could be seen everywhere, Li Qing couldn't help but think in his heart.

We also saw many traces of excavation on the side, but they were not dug deep.

This was most likely dug by the Qi Refining Demon Cultivator.

The soil of this type of mineral vein is generally very hard because it has been nourished by the spiritual energy in the ore for a long time. It is impossible to dig it without good tools.

No wonder there was a magical weapon like a pickaxe in the storage bag. It turned out that the demon cultivator had mined.
