The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

Nowadays, Li Qing's life can be said to be extremely simple. Since the Soul Feeding Pill can also fill the stomach, he only needs to stay in the crack and does not need to go out hunting.

But this also brought Li Qing an extreme sense of loneliness.

I often sigh that practicing Buddhism is not easy.

Fortunately, if I feel bored, I can still fly in the valley for a while and hunt some small animals living in the valley.

The 21st day.

Li Qing was feeling the condition of his body. He could sense that he was only one step away from transforming into a demon.

Looking at the cloth bag beside him, Li Qing was determined.

"it's time."

Li Qing said secretly.

Then he opened the cloth bag and took out two spiritual fruits the size of a baby's fist.

The spiritual energy it exudes seems to be there and not there, and you might not notice it unless you look carefully.

This is a first-grade, lower-grade Lingming fruit.

Li Qing asked Xi Hezi to come here.

One day during those three years, Junior Brother Yu, whom Li Qing had met when he first entered the mountain gate, suddenly came to visit. At that time, Li Qing and Xiao Chong were attending class.

Seeing that Master was going to meet guests, Xiao Chong wanted to leave, but was stopped by Junior Brother Yu, who smiled and said, "Happiness is better shared than happiness alone."

He pulled Xiao Chong to the table, took the wine and started drinking with the master and disciple.

Xi Hezi looked at this carefree and free-spirited junior brother and didn't know what to say, so he took out some spiritual fruits from his storage bag to entertain him.

There are all kinds of spiritual fruits, and the fruity fragrance is fragrant.

Li Qing was drooling as he watched from the side. The scent of the fruit seemed to have a fatal attraction to him.

Looking at the three people eating, drinking and chatting, Li Qing shamelessly planned to get a spiritual fruit.

It landed on the ground, and hopped over to Yuzuruko like a free-running chicken, rubbing its head against her sleeve, looking flattering.

This scene also made the three of them laugh.

Junior Brother Yu smiled and said, "Brother, this mortal bird is quite spiritual and knows how to behave. I will reward you with a spiritual fruit."

He said one, but he casually picked up two of the few first-grade low-quality spiritual fruits and threw them at Li Qing's feet.

It’s not that he is stingy, but the physique of ordinary birds is too weak, and a higher-level spiritual fruit may cost Li Qing his life.

Looking at the two spiritual fruits at his feet, Li Qing did not disdain them. He happily picked them up with his claws and flew towards the mountainside.

Thinking of the past, Li Qing felt happy.

The reason why he tried so hard to get the spiritual fruit was because this kind of rare spiritual fruit was very important to the monsters.

Every time a monster is promoted to a higher realm, it is possible for it to awaken its innate magical powers. The abilities of these innate magical powers are very different, and what magical powers can be awakened is related to its bloodline.

Monsters without powerful bloodlines can only gain powerful magical powers by devouring rare and precious herbs.

Monsters rely on eating and sleeping for their cultivation, and the appearance of rare and precious herbs depends on the power of heaven and earth to grow. They contain the spiritual charm of the Tao, and each spiritual object has different effects that can help monsters to comprehend and awaken various innate abilities.

Li Qing is the kind of monster without the blessing of blood. Even if he becomes a monster, he probably won't be able to awaken his magical powers. He can only rely on his physical strength to survive in the future.

If you can swallow rare and precious herbs on the way to becoming a demon, there is a chance that you will awaken your innate magical powers.

These are the precious knowledge learned from Xi Hezi during those three years, and this is also the reason why Li Qing tried hard to ask for the spiritual fruit.

Looking at the two slightly shriveled spiritual fruits in front of him, Li Qing was helpless.

All kinds of rare and precious herbs in the world of immortal cultivation need to be carefully preserved, otherwise they will rot over time like fruits in the mortal world.

The spiritual energy of these two spiritual fruits was slightly reduced because Li Qing did not get any preservation items.

But fortunately it didn't rot.

Li Qing cleared his mind, and the next step was the important promotion process.

Li Qing first took three Soul-Feeding Pills and waited for the opportunity to break through.

As the blood and spiritual energy in the three Soul-Nourishing Pills in his stomach were slowly digested.

Li Qing felt a different feeling than before. With the help of the Soul-Feeding Pill, a demonic energy gradually emerged in his body and rushed to a certain part of his body. There seemed to be a barrier there, and the demonic energy crashed into the barrier, as if breaking through some shackles.

After an unknown amount of time, the barrier was finally unable to withstand the impact and was only one step away from being destroyed.

"It's time!"

Li Qing's mind flashed, and he swallowed the two spiritual fruits in front of him.

As the spiritual fruit entered his stomach, a strange force surged out of Li Qing's body and broke through the barrier in his body.

A breeze appeared all around, and wisps of thin spiritual energy rushed towards Li Qing's falcon body.

Li Qing's feelings at this moment were completely different, as if the heaven and earth had finally opened a door for him. It was as if he had finally removed the shackles on his body and could be close to the heaven and earth.

A feeling of sleepiness slowly came over Li Qing. He naturally knew what was going on and did not resist. He lay down in the bird's nest and fell into a deep sleep.

After Li Qing fell asleep, his body did not stop changing. Instead, the improvement became smoother. The demonic power in his body seemed to be flowing in its own way, making the transformation to the optimal solution.

At some point, Li Qing finally woke up.

After opening his eyes, Li Qing checked himself first.

It was obvious that his falcon body had undergone tremendous changes.

First of all, its appearance has become more handsome, with feathers as white as jade, and only a few black spots on its back. However, compared with before, the black spots have become less common.

Its body was three times larger, and when it stood up it could reach the chest of an adult. Its white jade claws and beak also emitted a metallic luster and became sharper.

Feeling the endless power, Li Qing suddenly felt that he was now able to tear tigers and leopards apart with his bare hands.

What’s more important is that Li Qing somehow felt that his lifespan had increased by about two hundred years. This was good news.

He stood up and found that the bird's nest under his feet could no longer accommodate his body. Looking to the side, he saw many feathers scattered around and even a lot of black bloodstains.

"Is this a change of feathers?"

As Li Qing thought this, a pale blue demonic aura emerged from his wings. As he flapped his wings, all the feathers in the cave were blown out of the gaps by a breeze.

Li Qing came to the narrow gap, raised his sharp claws and grabbed it, leaving three deep scratches on the hard rock like tofu.

After a moment, the gap turned into a hole that could accommodate Li Qing in and out.

Li Qing looked back and began to expand the cave with his claws again.

Li Qing was satisfied only after he blew the rock out of the cave with his magic power.

Above the valley, Li Qing spread his wings and soared into the sky, feeling the sunshine and the strong wind, feeling that moment of freedom, and his mind gradually became calm.

Now Li Qing has finally become the lowest level first-stage monster in this world and has taken a small step towards the path of true spirit.

The true spirit is equivalent to the true immortal of the human race and is an existence standing at the pinnacle.

But it is still too far away for this world.
