The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

Li Qing spent some time using a massive amount of demonic power to wash away the endless demonic energy contained in the body of the blood demon in the late fifth stage.

It was then carefully placed in the ancient and mysterious treasure bowl.

Afterwards, Li Qing placed the cornucopia into a traceless treasure box, hid it in the most inconspicuous corner of the secret room, dispelled the wind traces, and set up layers of restrictions to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

After completing all this, he slowly walked out of the deep and quiet training room which was filled with rich spiritual energy. His figure lengthened under the soft light and finally disappeared in the corridor.

Li Qing opened his eyes slightly, and his spiritual eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, instantly sweeping across the entire palace. No detail escaped his observation.

The scene in the perspective is like a warm and harmonious picture slowly unfolding.

The sunlight penetrated the thin clouds and sprinkled on every corner of the palace like fine threads, adding a bit of warmth to this solemn place.

In a courtyard, Li Qing's wife, who was extremely charming, intelligent and beautiful, was carefully guiding their young child Li Yanning in a very strict manner.

Although Li Yanning inherited the excellent blood of both his parents, his eyes sparkled with endless curiosity and desire to explore the unknown world.

But he was still very young, and when faced with the complicated alchemy techniques taught by his mother, his brows were sometimes furrowed and his eyes were sometimes blurred, revealing a bit of the sleepiness and confusion that is unique to children.

This scene is not only a warm display of family affection, but also a true portrayal of the peaceful days, which made Li Qing feel an indescribable emotion.

However, he did not immediately walk towards the courtyard full of "laughter and joy", but chose to turn around and step back into the familiar and dim training room.

Memories came flooding back like a tide, and Li Qing clearly remembered the last time a similar scene occurred.

He walked into the courtyard with great anticipation, intending to quietly watch his wife and children spend time together, but unexpectedly he was also pulled into the study.

Chi Feng's alchemy skills became famous in the human world thanks to him. Her thirst for knowledge and passion for imparting knowledge were equally high. She was even unwilling to miss any opportunity to communicate or teach alchemy, including to her husband and son.

At that moment, Li Qing seemed to have returned to his previous life, the time when he was overwhelmed by endless schoolwork.

He was well aware of his mediocrity in the art of cultivation. The only thing he had mastered in the art of formations was the help of the enlightenment tea tree he got by chance, which allowed him to barely understand it.

If he really wanted to rely on his own understanding to study alchemy or other skills, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for him.

Therefore, when Chi Feng called on him for questions during that unexpected "teaching" experience, the feeling of being caught off guard and at a loss still scares him to this day.

So, this time, he wisely chose to escape, not to escape from family affection, but to escape from the oppressive feeling from the ocean of knowledge.

Li Qing returned to the training room, took a deep breath of the fresh air, and began to control the Qingfeng Eye or the ghost slave, traveling through the human world, looking for fun that could make him temporarily forget his worries and relax.

Perhaps it was chasing the speed of the wind above the clouds, or spying on the intrigues of human monks deep in the jungle. These simple and pure pleasures became his rare rest time on the road of cultivation.

……

Three years passed by in a flash, like quicksand on your fingertips, slipping away silently.

On this day, in the depths of the Endless Sea, there was a breathtakingly huge and luxurious ship sailing.

This ship is like a floating palace on the sea, sailing alone on the endless, empty and lonely sea. There is nothing else around except the occasional schools of fish jumping out of the sea. It looks particularly lonely and mysterious.

On the observation deck of the building ship, Li Qing and Chi Feng sat side by side.

Both demons were dressed in glittering feather robes, and their every move revealed an otherworldly temperament.

Exquisite tea sets were placed in front of them, with smoke rising from the cups and the fragrance filling the air, as if it could wash away all the dust in the world.

This rare time spent together as a couple is especially precious to them as they are usually busy with cultivation and accompanying their children.

This time, Li Qing and Chi Feng deliberately chose to go alone, leaving their young child Li Yanning in the safe Takihaizhu.

This is done just to focus on the upcoming major breakthrough - Li Qing is preparing to break through to the fifth level.

Obviously, this was inconsistent with Li Qing's original plan.

However, behind this decision, there are many unknown twists and turns and considerations.

The reason for all this is because the cornucopia cannot replicate the body of the blood demon in the late fifth stage!

Originally, Li Qing hoped to eat the body of a fifth-stage late-stage blood demon and utilize the horrific blood and flesh essence contained in it to temper his own body to the extreme.

In the hope that when the thunder disaster comes, the strong body can serve as the most solid shield.

However, fate always seemed to like playing jokes on people. The cornucopia in his hand, a treasure that had brought miracles countless times, encountered an unprecedented failure when he tried to copy the body of a fifth-stage late-stage blood demon.

Over the past three years, Li Qing has tried countless times, each time full of hope, but each time ended in disappointment.

He even spent a lot of time and energy on a year-long replication attempt, but still made no progress.

This series of failures not only disrupted Li Qing's original training plan, but also made him deeply aware that the power of the cornucopia might have some unknown limits.

It is linked to the fifth-grade ninth-level Holy Soul Lotus that was once impossible to replicate, and the current fifth-stage late-stage Blood Demon body.

Li Qing suspected that this treasure might only be able to copy spiritual objects below the fifth-level upper grade, and physical bodies below the fifth-level late grade.

Of course, in his speculation, he also suspected that the reason was that there were flaws in the laws of nature in the human world and that there was a lack of the vital energy of heaven and earth.

This discovery undoubtedly brought a huge shock to Li Qing.

This not only means that he must change his plan and face the challenge of advancing to the fifth level with his current attitude, but also foreshadows the resource difficulties that he and Chi Feng may encounter in the future on the road of cultivation.

When both of them are promoted to the perfection of the fifth stage and need higher-grade resources to support further breakthroughs, they may face the severe test of resource scarcity.

What is even more worrying is that as their cultivation level improves, their family of three will eventually face the choice of ascending to the spiritual world.

It was a wider and more dangerous world, where wars between demons occurred frequently and the strong were respected.

Without sufficient strength and resources, it will be difficult to gain a foothold there.

Therefore, how to make adequate preparations for future practice within this limited time has become a major problem that Li Qing and Chi Feng must face together.
