The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

However, at this moment, Li Qing's eyes gradually lost focus, and his consciousness seemed to have crossed the boundaries of space and was closely connected with a ghost slave in the outside world.

This ghost slave was a spy he sent out many years ago. Now he is lurking in the demon world, silently monitoring every move of the outside world.

Through the ghost slave's perspective, Li Qing seemed to have witnessed the scenes outside the demon world with his own eyes.

The mountains and rivers remain the same, the grass and trees are lush, but the air is filled with the usual tranquility.

This tranquility was at odds with the coming storm he had anticipated.

He couldn't help but wonder why the demons hadn't launched an invasion yet?

Is he planning a more violent offensive?

Or is there some unknown power hidden in the demon world that makes even the devil fear it?

After a long time, Li Qing came back to his senses from the ghost slave's perspective. His eyes refocused, flashing with complex light.

He was lost in deep thought, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the arm of the chair, making a rhythmic sound.

Nine years may be just a blink of an eye for practitioners, but for the human and demon races today, these nine years are extraordinary.

Now, there is only about half a year left until the critical day.

This last period of time was the most delicate moment in the atmosphere between the two races of monsters and the demon race.

Li Qing knew very well that he had to be fully prepared during this period to deal with any unexpected events that might occur.

However, the calmness of the outside world made him feel unprecedentedly uneasy, as if a bigger storm was brewing in the dark, and would sweep in when the time was right.

He closed his eyes, and various possible scenarios and response strategies flashed through his mind quickly.

Not long after, Li Qing finally broke free from that ocean of complicated thoughts.

His brows were furrowed, and there was still unresolved doubt in his eyes.

Although he racked his brains and tried to guess the unfathomable intentions of the devil from every possible angle, those fragmented clues were like scattered stars, difficult to piece together into a complete picture.

It is difficult to fathom the far-reaching plan behind this with only the fragments known now. Li Qing can only temporarily suppress this heavy burden in his heart and wait for the opportunity.

Putting down the burden in his heart, Li Qing sighed softly and turned his attention to the teacup at hand.

The aroma of tea seems to be able to temporarily wash away the worries in your heart.

After careful consideration, and confirming that the outside world and the inside of Takihai Pearl were still peaceful and without any abnormalities, he slowly stood up and walked towards the most hidden corner of the training room.

There, in a corner of the wall, a seemingly ordinary stone brick suddenly made a slight sound, as if being pulled by some mysterious force, slowly breaking away from the stone wall and flying straight towards Li Qing's outstretched palm.

This stone brick is actually his "traceless treasure box" that has been with him for many years. It looks simple and unpretentious on the outside, but it hides amazing secrets inside.

After taking the Traceless Treasure Box, Li Qing's eyes revealed some complicated emotions.

From the time he first obtained this treasure at the third level to his current fifth level, he had tried countless times to see through the treasure box, but never succeeded.

In his eyes, the treasure box was still as hard and ordinary as it was when he first saw it, without any spiritual fluctuations, not to mention the treasure bowl inside.

However, it was this mystery that aroused Li Qing's desire to explore deeper.

He began to think about the feasibility of using the two materials of "mist stone" and "black mud" to refine this traceless treasure box.

These two materials are said to be able to blur spiritual consciousness and obscure the secrets of heaven.

If they could be cleverly integrated into the Takihai Pearl, perhaps the concealment of the Takihai Pearl could be greatly enhanced, allowing their family of three to have a more hidden shelter in this troubled time.

Thinking of this, Li Qing's eyes gradually became firm.

He knows very well that in these turbulent times, every bit of safety is crucial.

Although the Takihai Pearl is very good, it is still too conspicuous under the prying eyes of those powerful demon lords.

Therefore, he came up with the idea of ​​using the power of "mist stone" and "black mud" to cover the Takikai Pearl with a more solid invisible coat.

The plan to destroy the ascension platform failed, and Li Qing had to make plans for the future.

If one day, the devil successfully conquers the demon world, he and his family will face great danger.

So, he decided to take some steps to protect himself and his family.

After careful consideration, Li Qing came up with a solution - using the Takihai Pearl to hide their family of three.

In this way, even if the devil really conquers the demon world, they will be able to escape and ensure the safety of their families.

The "mist stone" and "black mud" are the key.

Freeing himself from his chaotic thoughts, Li Qing took the Traceless Treasure Box and gently opened it.

In the Traceless Treasure Box, there lies a cornucopia quietly.

This mysterious and precious "treasure" has always been his most treasured treasure.

Li Qing stretched out his hand carefully and groped out two yellow pills with an alluring aroma from the depths of the treasure bowl.

These two pills are fifth-level pills copied through the magical power of the cornucopia, and each of them contains powerful medicinal power.

Then, he placed one of the pills into the jade bottle that had been prepared long ago, and put the remaining pill back into the treasure bowl, and continued to let it replicate.

For the past nine years, he has been using the cornucopia to copy things.

In addition to the elixir, he also copied something else.

That was his own demon pill.

The copied elixir was given to his wife as a source of nourishment for her cultivation, but the demon elixir was what he needed.

Due to the invasion of the demons, the human race in the human world suffered huge casualties.

The Shadow Tower is spread all over the continent, and most cultivators have more or less used the Shadow Tower as a channel to earn extra money.

Moreover, quite a number of monks received favors from the Shadow Tower, that is, Li Qing, because of the "Hashing with a Knife" activity.

Although Li Qing had already spread the news, when the demons invaded, many cultivators did not listen to the advice and went to the demon world, and unfortunately died in the disaster.

This resulted in Li Qing owing a huge karmic debt.

In order to repay this karma, Li Qing has been working hard to copy the demon pill for the past nine years.

It was not until recent months that he finally copied nearly forty demon pills and paid off the debt.

It is worth mentioning that those demon pills were the fourth-level causal demon pills he obtained when he took the time to duplicate his body when he was at the fourth level, and then used the duplicate body to practice martial arts.

As his cultivation level improved, his original third-level causal demon pill had long been eliminated.

Even so, it took nearly forty coins to pay off the cause and effect, which shows how many humans died.

It was not until recent months that he had the opportunity to copy the elixir and begin practicing.
