The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

Li Qing's conversation with the five demon lords became more in-depth as the night deepened.

The moonlight was as clear as a mirror, filtering through the sparse clouds and white mist, and falling onto the cloud boat, casting a soft glow on this late-night conversation.

They sat in a circle, clinking their glasses of wine from time to time, making pleasant sounds, as if they were accompanying this rare gathering.

At first, the topics were relaxed and wide-ranging, ranging from the natural scenery of the demon world to the local customs and practices, and then to the adventures and insights they had during their respective cultivation.

Li Qing won the sincere admiration of the five demon lords with his extensive knowledge and profound insights.

In addition to recognition of Li Qing's strength, their eyes also showed a bit of admiration and expectation.

Gradually, the conversation began to turn to more substantive issues.

The Black Turtle Demon Lord, one of the five demon lords, slowly put down his wine glass, his expression becoming serious and earnest: "Brother Youying, we are well aware that you have extraordinary attainments in alchemy, and the pills you refine are all of high quality and have amazing efficacy."

"Today, we five would like to take this opportunity to ask for a favor. Brother Youying, are you willing to listen?"

Li Qing smiled slightly and motioned for the other party to continue.

The Black Turtle Demon Venerable's voice was heavy and powerful as he continued:

"Brother Youying, our demon world is facing an unprecedented crisis - the invasion of demons."

"They are powerful and cruel. During the critical moment a few days ago, they were probably concentrating on infecting the human world and therefore did not attack the demon world."

"But after a thousand years, the Heavenly Demon will definitely take action to invade our demon world and destroy the world we have lived in for generations."

Fox Demon Venerable took over the conversation, his eyes flashing with worry and determination: "In the face of this catastrophe, every living being in the demon world cannot stand aside."

"Especially our younger disciples, they are the future and hope of the demon world. Improving their strength and strengthening the overall strength of the demon world is our most urgent task at present."

Qilin Demon Lord, as the youngest among all the Demon Lords, spoke with a firm tone at this moment: "Xuanling Huashen Pill is exactly the powerful help we have prepared for our younger disciples."

“This pill can help them break through the bottleneck and reach the fifth level of cultivation, thus playing a greater role in the battle against the demons.”

The Golden Dragon Demon Lord's voice was filled with unquestionable power: "Although the five of us have entered the ranks of the strong, we still feel that we are not strong enough to face the threat of the Heavenly Demon."

"Only by allowing the younger generation of disciples to grow rapidly can we ensure the future of the demon world."

Demon Lord Yin Yue said in a cold but powerful voice: "Brother Youying, your alchemy skills are the key to our demon world's victory in this war."

"The purpose of our visit this time is to ask you to help us again and refine the Mysterious Spiritual Transformation Pill for us, so that our younger disciples can better resist the invasion of the Heavenly Demon."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing's eyes swept across the faces of the five demon lords one by one, feeling their respective determination and expectations, and also feeling the high hopes that the five demon lords placed on him.

He had anticipated this situation. Li Qing stood up with a firm look in his eyes:

"How can I refuse the request of the demon lords?"

"The demon world is in danger due to the invasion of the demons. I will go all out to refine the best quality Xuanling Huashen Pills for you to help the younger disciples improve their strength and fight against the demons together!"

"However," Li Qing changed the subject and his tone became serious, "Xuanling Huashen Pill is indeed extraordinary. The refining process is complicated and full of variables."

"To refine this pill, the spiritual medicine required must be of high quality and carefully selected to ensure success. I wonder if you have prepared them all?"

The five demon lords were overjoyed upon hearing this, and quickly said that they had already prepared a batch of high-quality spiritual medicines, enough to support several refining attempts.

The Black Turtle Demon Lord said solemnly: "Brother Youying, rest assured, we will fully support your refining."

"The spiritual medicine you need can be provided immediately; as for the reward, there is no need to say more."

"We only hope that Brother Youying can give his all and make the medicine into a pill!"

Then, the five demon lords took out a storage ring from their arms and gently pushed it in front of Li Qing:

“This ring not only contains all the spiritual medicines needed to refine the Mysterious Spiritual Transformation Pill, but also several auxiliary materials that we carefully selected. I hope they will be helpful in the refining process.”

Li Qing took the ring, scanned it with his mind, and after confirming it was correct, he nodded: "Okay, if that's the case, then we've settled it."

"Once I am fully prepared, I will start refining immediately."

"As for the reward, I have sensed your sincerity. As for the fifth-level spiritual object, we can discuss it after the elixir is refined."

Upon hearing this, the five demon lords all showed joy on their faces and expressed their gratitude to Li Qing.

They knew that with the help of the Lord of the Shadow Tower, the demon world would have a more solid backing and a brighter future in this war with the devil.

The night was still dark, but the atmosphere on the Yunzhou became warmer and more hopeful because of the upcoming cooperation.

This conversation between Li Qing and the five demon lords was not only a simple request and response, but also the beginning of multiple forces working together for a common goal.

That night, the conversation on the cloud boat not only deepened the friendship between Li Qing and the five demon lords, but also laid a solid foundation for their future cooperation.

As time passed, three days went by in a flash.

The laughter and joy at the banquet gradually softened, transforming into wisps of warm and satisfying atmosphere, permeating the Yunzhou and the surrounding space.

Li Qing's conversation with the five demon lords was also getting better. Their topic shifted from the strange stories in the demon world to the confusion and insights on the road of cultivation.

Every clink of glasses deepens the friendship between each other.

However, good times are always short-lived. When the last drop of wine slid into the throat, the banquet quietly came to an end.

Li Qing gently put down the wine glass, and glanced tenderly at the five demon lords present, his eyes seemed full of reluctance.

He stood up and said in a gentle but powerful voice: "Everyone, tonight's banquet is particularly wonderful because of your presence. I would like to thank you all for your presence."

"Although the time we spend together is always short, I hope our friendship will last forever."

"Now, the party is over. I look forward to seeing you again in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, the five demon lords on the cloud boat stood up one after another, paid their final greetings to each other, and expressed their deep respect and gratitude.

They knew that tonight's banquet was not just a simple gathering, but also an important opportunity to deepen their relationship with Li Qing.

As Li Qing and the five demon lords said goodbye to each other, they left the cloud boat one after another.

They agreed that in the days ahead, no matter what difficulties and challenges they encountered, they would work together.

Finally, Li Qing was the only one left on the Yunzhou. He stood quietly at the bow, looking at the guests gradually dispersing below and the banquet scene returning to calm, his heart filled with emotion and anticipation.
