The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

The back mountain of Yanjian Sect is hidden in the clouds and mist, as if it is a pure land between heaven and earth, and its core is even more mysterious.

There, stands a breathtaking ascension platform, which is not only grand in scale, but also contains endless void power.

The ascension platform is octagonal in shape, and each side is meticulously carved with intricate and mysterious array patterns. These patterns gleam with a faint golden sheen under the sunlight.

The edge of the ascension platform is surrounded by a circle of pillars made of special materials, which are both beautiful and sturdy.

There are also tiny runes engraved on the pillars, which echo the large formation on the table, and together construct an ascension platform that connects heaven and earth and guides immortals and mortals.

The most eye-catching thing is the thousands of carefully designed grooves, which are scattered on the ascension platform and are now filled with colorful and shining spirit stones.

These spirit stones are as bright as stars. The tremendous spiritual power contained in them flows slowly under the guidance of the array patterns, forming gorgeous spiritual power torrents that rotate endlessly around the ascension platform, creating a sacred and solemn atmosphere.

Mu Shoujing, the ancestor of Yanjian Sect, was dressed in a flowing robe. Although his hair had turned gray after many years, he was still in good spirits.

He stood in the center of the ascension platform, his eyes closed and focused, as if he was having a conversation with the heaven and earth, or as if he was preparing for the upcoming transformation.

The air around him seemed to become heavy and stagnant, and even his breathing seemed to have a subtle echo.

Around, more than a dozen core elders and elite disciples of Yanjian Sect stood in silence, some with their heads bowed in deep thought, while others looked up at the sky, all with complex and indescribable expressions on their faces.

Some were full of admiration and felt extremely honored to witness this historic moment with their own eyes.

Some people yearn for it, hoping that one day they can embark on the road to ascension and pursue the supreme realm of immortality and transcendence of the mundane world.

Others were filled with worry and reluctance. Although the ancestor's ascension was a great joyous event, it also meant that the sect had lost a powerful guardian.

Some prayed in their hearts that their ancestors could ascend smoothly, so that if they had the opportunity to ascend to the spiritual world in the future, they would also be able to receive care from their ancestors.

After all, the devil's calamity is no joke.

As the ascension platform slowly moved, the entire space seemed to be activated. The fluctuations of spiritual power became stronger and stronger. A dazzling spiritual light condensed above the ascension platform, as dazzling as the rising sun.

Just when the light reached its peak, an unprecedented strong light appeared out of nowhere. It broke through the constraints of space and directly enveloped Mu Shoujing.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and everyone held their breath, afraid of missing any details.

As the light gradually dissipated, Mu Shoujing's figure was no longer visible on the ancient ascension platform, leaving only emptiness and silence.

Everyone looked at each other, and then burst into cheers and excitement. They knew that the ancestor of the Yanjian Sect had successfully ascended to the spirit world!

Not long after, the human ancestors in the spiritual world seemed to confirm the news of Mu Shoujing's ascension, and they all took action, sending down a large number of precious spiritual objects to the human world.

These spiritual objects are not only of various types, but also contain amazing spiritual power and magical effects.

However, the number of spiritual objects cast by the spiritual world this time was significantly less than the last time.

However, all the spiritual objects have become fifth-level spiritual objects, and their quality and value are even higher than last time.

These spiritual objects were exactly what Li Qing had secretly instructed the human and demon races to convey to the ancestor of the spiritual world, and now they had finally gotten what they wanted.

In addition, there was also some auxiliary medicines for refining the Xuanling Huashen Pill, as well as a spiritual object sealed in a jade box that could help cultivators advance to the Huashen stage. All of them were held firmly in Mu Sixue's hands.

Soon, all these spiritual objects will fall into Li Qing's pocket.

……

Takihaizhu, in the alchemy room of the building ship, is now bathed in a fiery red light.

In the alchemy room, the fire was blazing. The crimson light contrasted with the surrounding blue crystal walls used for cooling, creating a strange atmosphere that was both hot and cool.

Chi Feng, the peerless beauty, was dressed in a glittering phoenix feather robe. She was concentrating with her eyes closed, her hands dancing lightly, as if she was resonating with the laws of fire between heaven and earth. She was precisely controlling the leaping phoenix fire. Every dance of the flame contained her ultimate understanding and control of the fire.

What she was refining at this moment was the Xuanling Huashen Pill that both the human and demon worlds had been eagerly awaiting.

This pill is a supreme elixir that uses the extremely rare ten thousand year old Xuanling grass in the human world as its main ingredient, supplemented by dozens of rare herbs. It goes through ninety-nine and eighty-one complex alchemy steps to form.

Its effectiveness is enough to help the strong of both human and demon races break through the bottleneck, achieve a leap in cultivation, and even reach the realm of incarnation.

For any practitioner, it is a treasure that they dream of.

Ever since Mu Shoujing ascended to the immortal world ten years ago and left behind a legendary story, both the human and demon races have been more eager to improve their own strength.

Especially the two human gods who have not much time left - Gutuo and Yinjizi.

Therefore, when the spiritual world once again generously dropped the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Spirit Grass, a spiritual item that could promote spiritual advancement, both races tried their best to scramble to collect auxiliary medicines in the hope of obtaining this elixir and soaring into the sky.

Behind this, Li Qing had actually already used the cornucopia to quietly prepare two copies of the Xuanling Huashen Pill.

If his wife fails in refining the elixir, he can take it out and use it.

However, he knew very well that such means should not be shown to others easily, not even to his own wife.

Otherwise, if even a hint of news were leaked, the secret of the treasure pot in his hand that could change one's destiny would bring about endless troubles and disputes.

As the aroma of medicine wafted from the furnace, it indicated that the refining process had reached a critical moment.

Relying on his experience from last time and his profound cultivation, Chi Feng was able to refine the essence with ease this time.

Not only was the process smooth and unimpeded, but even more amazingly, she actually managed to refine two pills in one go, far exceeding expectations.

On the day when the pills were refined, Li Qing handed the two precious pills to the representatives of the human and demon races, fulfilling his promise to the two races.

Afterwards, his mind completely turned to Chi Feng, and he began to prepare wholeheartedly for her promotion to the fifth-level demon lord.

Over the years, after giving birth to her children, Chi Feng chose to retreat and recuperate for a period of time.

After a hundred years, she not only recovered to her peak state, but also made a qualitative leap in her cultivation, and her demonic power became more pure and complete.

Now, the opportunity to be promoted to the fifth-rank demon lord has arrived. Li Qing knows very well that this is not only a huge challenge for Chi Feng personally, but also an important moment for the couple to face together.

Therefore, he used all his resources to collect spiritual objects from heaven and earth.

He even used the power of the cornucopia to give the copied ten thousand year old Xuanling grass to Chi Feng.

Just to ensure that Chi Feng can successfully break through and achieve the status of a fifth-level demon lord.

Of course, when handing the spiritual object to Chi Feng, Li Qing made an excuse and lied that this time the human and demon races each dropped two thousand-year-old mysterious spiritual grasses.

During this tense yet hopeful time, Li Qing and Chi Feng became busy.

One pretended to be busy collecting various spiritual objects needed to refine the elixir for his wife's breakthrough.

One used the spiritual objects collected by her husband to refine healing pills and recovery pills, and used the ten thousand year old Xuanling grass to refine the Xuanling Huashen Pill, etc.
