The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

Halfway up Baihe Mountain.

It was already pitch black outside, but the candlelight was flickering inside the house. Xiao Chong was holding a copy of "The Art of Taming Beasts" and flipping through it excitedly.

It was already time to go to bed, but what I saw and heard today was undoubtedly a huge shock to my worldview.

After tossing and turning in bed for many times, he finally got out of bed and continued to look through the things distributed by the External Affairs Hall.

This book of beast control techniques is the basic technique of the Beast Control Sect. It has no attributes and is just an ordinary technique among the thousands of techniques in the sect's Sutra Library, but it has the special effect of increasing the favorability with monsters.

Xiao Chong looked at the pictures in the book carefully. Although he could not recognize many words in the book, the illustrations were easy to understand.

Li Qing was also standing on the beam at this moment, staring at the contents of the book. Although it was far away, it was no problem for his falcon's eyesight. Unfortunately, he just couldn't understand the words.

"Xiaobai, do you think I can become an immortal cultivator like Master?" Xiao Chong looked up at Li Qing on the beam, seemingly asking a falcon, but also like asking himself.

Li Qing looked at Xiao Chong, whose eyes revealed determination, and could only wish him good luck.

Mr. Falcon, I just want to run away now.

time flies.

Early in the morning, before the hour of Mao, a child was standing outside the formation on the top of Baihe Peak waiting, with a Saker Falcon sitting on top of his head.

Looking inside from the outside, everything is hazy and I have no idea what the scenery is like inside.

"come in."

After an unknown amount of time, a voice was heard from the formation.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chong immediately walked towards the entrance of the formation in front of him that could accommodate one person.

As soon as you enter, the scenery of the mountain top comes into view. This is also a flat area with a pond. There are a few white cranes scattered around. There is an attic on the left side of the pond, and many spiritual plants are planted under the attic.

And Yuhezi was lying on a white crane by the pond, looking lazy and comfortable.

"come on."

"Today I will teach you these eight volumes of the Taoist Canon."

As she spoke, Yuhezi waved her hand and took out eight books as thick as fists.

Xiao Chong was stunned by what he saw.

Xi Hezi raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't underestimate these Taoist scriptures. If you don't understand their principles, you won't understand even if I teach you the exercises now."

Time flies.

Yuhezi looked at the little bug leaving with a frown on her face.

“I don’t know whether this path of training the mind is right or wrong.”

Xi Hezi has now completed his foundation building, and all that is left is to cross the threshold of forming the elixir.

However, the sect master said that his determination was not strong enough and he needed more experience. He pointed out several ways forward. It happened that a piece of karma he had left behind came to him, so he took the opportunity to accept him as a disciple.

Thinking of Xiao Chong's clumsy understanding, Xi Hezi rubbed his eyebrows.

On the way back, Xiao Chong took a copy of the Thousand Character Classic and read it carefully. Li Qing, who was standing beside him, was also learning silently.

On that day, Xi Hezi was ready to teach him the Taoist Canon, but unfortunately Xiao Chong was still young and had not yet recognized all the characters, so he could only teach him to recognize the characters first, which was a good thing for Li Qing.

In fact, there is such a teaching school in Bimu Peak, which is specially set up for those new disciples who are very young, but Yuhezi chose to do it herself when training her mind.

……

Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past five years, Li Qing has been like a sponge, absorbing knowledge madly. His understanding of this world has been completely perfected, and he has a comprehensive understanding of cultivation in his mind.

On this day, Li Qing, who was guarding the house alone, was lying on a bird's nest in a tree outside the door, basking in the sun, his thoughts drifting away.

In the first three years, Hezi would teach Xiaochong for an hour every day at the hour of Mao, rain or shine.

Li Qing relied on being a bird and would always follow Xiao Chong, but unfortunately Xi Hezi stopped teaching him in the last two years.

It is said that Xiao Chong has reached the third level of Qi Refining and can take on sect missions to learn some skills.

After using some connections to arrange for Xiao Chong, Xi Hezi went out to travel and told Xiao Chong that she was looking for an opportunity to form a pill, and then she disappeared.

Now Xiao Chong is an apprentice in Qifeng to refine weapons.

Ten spirit stones per month, plus he is an inner sect disciple, so he can get fifteen spirit stones per month as sect welfare. Now he has officially become a qualified cultivator.

"It's time to leave."

At this moment, Li Qing is still an ordinary bird, and this is not because of his talent.

But according to Xi Hezi, if a cultivator wants to tam beasts, he must first imprint a soul contract on the beast.

In this way, not only can the minds be connected, but the life and death of the monster can also be controlled, and it can be avoided that the monster bites back. However, in order to sign the branding contract, one must become a monster, because the weak soul of the ordinary beast cannot bear the contract at all.

After hearing this, Li Qing was glad that he had poor talent, otherwise it would be uncomfortable to have his life and death controlled by others.

Xiao Chong also thought about cultivating Li Qing into a demon, and would give him two Spirit Feeding Pills every month.

But Li Qing didn't dare to eat it at all. This went on for two years. Seeing that Li Qing had not yet transformed into a monster, Xiao Chong gave up. However, he never lacked ordinary meat.

For him, this was a gift from his master, so he had to keep it even if it was useless.

Thinking about the master's previous expression, it seemed that he had a special feeling for the falcon. Xiao Chong also wanted to train the falcon well to please the master.

However, after two years of training, he still saw no hope, so he gave up completely. He might as well train a monster with a low-grade bloodline that he had led on the Beast Peak.

As for those uneaten Soul-Feeding Pills, Li Qing had already placed them in a hidden place at the outermost part of the sect, waiting to be used to transform into a demon after he escaped.

The Beast Taming Sect is very lax in its management of the monster beasts raised by humans. The spiritual birds and beasts that can be seen everywhere in the sect are all tamed monster beasts.

If someone's monster causes chaos in the sect, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame. If the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect cannot control their monster pets, they will be laughed at for most of their lives.

Therefore, Xiao Chong did not impose any restrictions on him in the past few years.

After all, in such an environment, the falcon has been fed for five years, and was given Spirit Feeding Pills every month for two of those years. Who would have thought that the falcon has not been tamed yet.

You know, the Soul Feeding Pill is an irresistible temptation to ordinary birds, and Li Qing also pretended to be particularly close to the master and disciple.

Relying on these conditions, Li Qing began to wander around the places in the sect that were not covered by formations, and collected all kinds of information.

Who would have thought that the ordinary birds standing on the treetops by the roadside could understand human language.

Even if he wanted to leave, he could leave at any time. Only the top of Baihe Mountain was always covered by the formation, and the sect's formation only covered the five main peaks. The only reason Li Qing could stay until now was just to get a few more Soul-Feeding Pills.

A light appeared in the distance, and soon a small insect was seen flying towards them with a leaf-shaped magical weapon under its feet.

After landing, Xiao Chong put away the magic weapon, glanced at Li Qing, and threw out a piece of fresh flesh and blood, which was caught by Li Qing.

Afterwards, Xiao Chong hurried back into the house, the formation was activated, and a barrier blocking the view appeared. Li Qing could no longer see the scene inside.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Qing knew that Xiao Chong was definitely not simple and was too cautious.

Since Xi Hezi left, Xiao Chong started taking on missions and has been paying special attention to privacy.

Even the bird's nest on the beam where Li Qing had slept for a long time was moved away, and he was fed with spiritual pills continuously thereafter.

You should know that even if this pill is only of the first level, one pill costs three spirit stones.

The pill that Xiao Chong takes in the early stage of Qi training costs eight spirit stones each, and this is the internal price. I heard that one pill costs ten spirit stones in the market outside.

According to this calculation, Xiao Chong only needs to take two pills a month at most, but his cultivation level improves extremely quickly. The clues can be found by comparing him with other people with three spiritual roots.

But most people outside thought that it was the care given by his master. Only Li Qing knew that this Xi Hezi had only taught him knowledge and a life-saving talisman from beginning to end.

An ordinary disciple, who only has 25 spirit stones a month and lives between Qifeng and Baihefeng, lives such a comfortable life. He even has a magical weapon that looks expensive and a concealment formation.

"When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on."

But this has nothing to do with Li Qing. If you want to rob others of their opportunities, you must also consider your own capabilities.

The supply of Soul Feeding Pills has been out of stock for nearly four months, and he now just wants to find an opportunity to leave the Beast Taming Sect.

You have to know that the lifespan of an ordinary Saker Falcon is only twenty years at most. Now he is almost six years old, and a quarter of his life is gone. The sense of urgency suddenly arises.
