The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

"almost."

Li Qing closed his eyes tightly, concentrated his mind, and tried his best to sense the Green Wind Eye in every corner of the sandbar. He thought to himself.

Then, he took out the round mirror from Qingyu.

With the control of the mind, the prices of the precious spiritual objects displayed on the light curtain that could help cultivators improve their realm, such as Foundation Establishment Pills, Five Elements Spiritual Fruits, etc., were all changed.

However, he did not change the price of his spirit stones. Only the number of shadow coins needed to purchase these items was increased several times without hesitation.

After completing these operations, Li Qing turned around and returned to a training room in the cabin.

Li Qing sat cross-legged on a cushion placed in front of him, then took out a "One Soul Refining Pill" from his arms and put it into his mouth and swallowed it.

Afterwards, he closed his eyes, mobilized the true energy in his body, and began to practice the soul-building technique called "Nine Transformations of the Demonic Soul."

Once this magical soul-building technique begins to be practiced, it will ignite a soul fire that continuously tempers and refines the demon soul.

During this process, the practitioner suffers from the severe pain of burning soul all the time.

But this kind of pain was nothing to Li Qing.

Thinking back to the time when he was practicing the Refining Gang Ning Sha technique, the suffering he experienced was much worse than it is now.

Moreover, the technique also recorded matching soul-path elixirs, and Chi Feng used them to refine elixirs for him to assist in his practice. At this moment, not only was his practice speed astonishing, but there were no hidden dangers.

Now, the Shadow Tower built on the sandbar has been completely put on track, and Chi Feng also enjoyed a sweet time with him outside.

Li Qing had previously suggested taking her to travel to other continents, but Chi Feng declined. She planned to stay in seclusion for a while.

Chi Feng admitted that he was already very satisfied with the love and affection he had experienced in recent days, but with the threat of the Heart-Eating Demon around, he did not want to become too overindulged in it.

Li Qing naturally respected his wife's decision. Besides, the first of the Nine Transformations of Demon Soul that he was practicing was about to be completed, so it would be wise to concentrate on practicing at this time.

With the effect of the medicine and the operation of the skills, time passed quietly. I don't know how much time has passed. I only saw that the soul fire below the demon soul in the sea of ​​knowledge was originally just a small cluster of weak flames. In the blink of an eye, the fire gradually became fiercer and expanded.

The demon soul that was burned by the more intense soul fire emitted an even more intense pain and desire. The demon soul that was originally a little illusory, after being tempered by this soul fire, actually showed an imperceptible condensation.

Seeing that he had successfully cultivated the second level of the demon soul, Li Qing threw another second level soul pill into his mouth without hesitation. As the medicinal power was gradually refined, the demon soul began to feel cool and comfortable.

Time passed bit by bit, and finally on the seventh day, Li Qing slowly opened his eyes, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

He carefully felt the faint burning pain in his body, and the stone in his heart finally fell.

It is not easy to practice the Nine Transformations of Demon Soul. During the practice, it is very likely that one will not be able to endure the pain of burning soul and will be burned to death by the soul fire.

Even though he had elixirs, he didn't dare to be careless.

After this period of hard work, the second level of the demon soul has been completed.

Nowadays, there is no need to exercise or practice. All you need to do is wait patiently for the soul fire to be tempered slowly. When the demon soul is gradually tempered to the point where you can try the third transformation, you can continue to practice.

However, the Second Soul Pill is indispensable during this period. This pill can not only reduce pain, but also speed up the tempering process.

After making sure that his demon soul was stable, Li Qing calmed his mind again and began to mobilize the ghost robe on his body. He concentrated his mind and used his heart to sense the ghost one thousands of miles away.

Gui Yi was none other than Xu Rulin, the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Ghost King Sect who had mastered the secret method of cultivating the inner demon.

As early as the beginning of the establishment of the Shadow Building, Li Qing sent Gui Yi out on a mission - to find a key person who could realize his other plan.

This was exactly what Li Qing had planned in the beginning, to find someone to teach him the way to become a Heart Demon, and then use this person to find out the Heart Devouring Demon's true strength and cultivation level.

In fact, Li Qing already had an idea about this candidate.

The person he was thinking of was Xu Rulin!

In other words, he was the one who was once infected by a demon.

When Li Qing was promoted to the third level, his heart was full of longing for the future.

He planned to go to Fengqi Mountain to spread opportunities, hoping to gain more causal cultivation there to achieve a breakthrough.

However, before that, he sent Guiyi to ambush in the former lair and wait for the opportunity.

From then on, Guiyi was ordered to lurk near the lair, quietly waiting for those infected by the devil to fall into his trap.

As time went by, things went surprisingly smoothly.

As expected, countless powerful cultivators who had reached the Jindan stage or even the Jindan perfection stage flocked to this place, all attracted by the jade slip.

According to the information and perspective images sent back by Gui Yi, none of those who came to die were spared. All of them had their souls extracted and refined, and became food in his stomach.

However, when Guiyi carefully sorted out his memories of his previous life, he unexpectedly discovered a problem.

Among all those who were devoured by the devil, the only one missing was a Jindan cultivator named Zhou Chun!

Gui Yi had a very deep impression of this name, so he still remembers it even after being refined into a ghost slave.

Zhou Chun is not an ordinary demon-tainted person, but the owner of a shop. Xu Rulin has been handling ill-gotten gains through this demon-tainted person.

Long time ago, when Xu Rulin was still in the relatively weak Qi Refining Stage, Zhou Chun had already been controlled by his evil spirit.

From then on, the two of them practiced together and spent hundreds of years together.

What Xu Rulin remembers even more vividly is that Zhou Chun has a happy family.

He and his wife care and support each other, and they have lovely children.

This warm and harmonious family atmosphere made Xu Rulin cherish this experience particularly, as it was something he had never experienced in his life.

Whenever he needed to meditate or hone his mind, he would control Zhou Chun's body to integrate into this ordinary yet real life, feel the breath of fireworks, and experience different aspects of life, in order to temper his Taoist heart.

This special experience was of great significance to Xu Rulin, and added many insights and enlightenments to his path of spiritual practice.

Therefore, when Gui Yi learned that Zhou Chun did not appear in this encirclement and suppression operation, he immediately noticed it.
