The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

Looking at the thousand-year-old mysterious spiritual grass emitting a faint glow, the tremendous spiritual power contained in it seemed to be able to penetrate space.

The spiritual charm of it made the six demon lords with different shapes and majestic auras on the opposite side instantly lose their usual composure and they all stood up suddenly from their seats.

There was an unprecedented heat and desire in their eyes, like hungry wolves seeing fat prey, and they locked their eyes tightly on the precious spiritual herb in Mu Shangyan's hand.

Although they are spiritual creatures that have been promoted to gods, in this lower world, every fifth-level spiritual creature is an extremely precious existence.

As long as one can refine this spiritual object, one will be able to increase one's cultivation by 10%.

There was a tense and subtle atmosphere in the air. Although the two sides did not take action, their covetousness for the spiritual objects was self-evident.

However, in this undercurrent atmosphere, both sides demonstrated great self-control and no one acted rashly.

Obviously, the cooperation contract had just been signed, and both the human and the demon understood the current situation and it should not be broken easily.

On the demon side, in addition to the desire for the ten thousand year old Xuanling Grass, there were more doubts and confusions in their hearts.

They knew very well that the human race's ascension platform, the only channel connecting the two worlds, had been destroyed thousands of years ago.

So, how did this spiritual creature from the upper realm overcome numerous obstacles and descend to the human world?

As the cooperation contract was settled, the temptations and suspicions in the hearts of the six demon lords gradually dissipated, replaced by a desire for the truth.

As the most calm and wise being among the demons, the Black Turtle Demon Venerable was the first to break the silence. His voice was low and powerful, with a hint of doubt: "Friend Mu Dao, we have a big question in our hearts, and I hope you can enlighten us."

Upon hearing this, Mu Shangyan smiled lightly, and wrapped the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Spirit Grass that he had put into his sleeve with spiritual power again. After ensuring its safety, he slowly turned around.

Then, he looked at the Black Turtle Demon Venerable with a gentle gaze and said, "You are too polite, Black Turtle Demon Venerable. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

After getting Mu Shangyan's agreement, Black Turtle Demon Lord no longer hesitated and directly expressed his doubts:

"As we all know, the human race's ascension platform has ceased to exist since the critical moment a thousand years ago. How did the ancestors of the human race in the upper realm send such a precious spiritual object to the lower realm? This matter is really puzzling to us."

Upon hearing this, Mu Shangyan's eyes subtly turned to the Shadow Tower Master who was standing still and shrouded in a black robe, and his tone was filled with emotion and admiration:

"To be honest, ever since the Ascension Platform was destroyed, everyone in our race has been deeply saddened and dedicated to finding a way to repair it."

"And the Shadow Tower Master is the human hero who stepped forward at the critical moment and successfully repaired the Ascension Platform with his extraordinary array and weapon skills."

"His appearance not only brings us hope, but also makes communication and exchange between the two worlds possible, allowing us and future generations of disciples to continue on our path."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire space seemed to be silent. The faces of the six demon lords all showed expressions of disbelief, which then turned into deep shock and admiration.

They never expected that the seemingly mysterious owner of the Shadow Tower, who was just introduced as being famous for his alchemy skills, actually had such amazing abilities and achievements.

For a moment, they were filled with infinite curiosity and imagination about the identity and strength of the owner of the Shadow Tower.

Black Turtle Demon Venerable was the first to speak, his voice full of sincere admiration: "Fellow Daoist Youying, you are truly a genius! Not only can you refine fifth-level elixirs, but you also have the ability to repair the Ascension Platform, which is so powerful that we admire you so much!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other five demon lords also echoed them, giving high praise and recognition to the abilities and contributions of the Lord of the Shadow Tower.

However, the owner of the Shadow Tower still maintained his usual silence and low profile, as if the noise and praise from the outside world had nothing to do with him.

He just stood there quietly, under the black robe were a pair of deep eyes, watching everything silently.

Seeing that the key information for upgrading spiritual creatures had been obtained, Li Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of intention to leave.

The time has come and it is not appropriate to stay any longer.

Gently stroking his sleeves, two crystal clear jade slips quietly appeared between his slender fingers. A faint glow flowed on the surface of the jade slips, as if containing endless mysteries.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, and a wisp of his spiritual consciousness quietly penetrated into the jade slip, like a fine brush outline, engraving on it in great detail the types, quantities and even the places where all the auxiliary medicines needed for the Xuan Fu Hua Shen Dan were collected.

Then, he raised his wrist lightly, and two streams of light streaked through the air, landing accurately on the table in front of the representatives of the human and demon races, making a crisp jade sound.

However, that's not all.

Li Qing took out an exquisite storage bag from his sleeve and shook it gently. Six bracelets emitting a faint glow appeared on the table.

This sudden action caused the demon clan members present to look at him with doubt and curiosity.

"Everyone," Li Qing's voice was low and hoarse. He looked around and spoke slowly, "Now that the affairs here have been arranged, I will not stay any longer."

"As for the bracelet on the table, it is called the Shadow Bracelet. I was inspired by it when I traveled to the Great Swamp in the Western Region of the Demon Realm. I made a replica based on the exquisiteness of the legendary projection bracelet of the Black Turtle Clan."

"Its function is the same as a real projection bracelet. It can transmit information across thousands of mountains and rivers, and even realize short-term spatial projection within a certain range."

At this point, Li Qing smiled slightly under the ghost mask, as if he could see through people's hearts, "You are all smart people, the use of the bracelet is self-evident."

“Once you find the spiritual object that I need, you only need to activate the bracelet with your spiritual power and silently recite the words that you need to convey in your heart, and I will sense it.

"This not only facilitates communication, but also saves a lot of unnecessary running around."

After saying this, Li Qing's figure began to undergo strange changes, as if time had frozen at this moment.

His body gradually began to show strange changes, and finally, like ice and snow melting in spring, it slowly melted into a pool of sticky liquid, silently seeping into the soil under his feet until it completely disappeared.

Only a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy remained at the place, slowly dissipating in the air.

This scene happened so suddenly that both the human and the demon present were stunned and unable to react.

Especially the Black Turtle Demon Lord among the demon clan, he widened his eyes, staring at the shadow bracelet on the table in disbelief, with turbulent waves surging in his heart.
