The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 063

Chapter 063 Arriving In Yundu
That night, Li Qing took out the thick Nine Revolutions Divine Elephant from his interspatial ring and looked at it carefully.

This cultivation technique was divided into the Nine Revolutions Realm, and if one succeeded in cultivating the first revolution, it could increase the strength of an elephant. In order to practice this technique, one must first concoct a Body Casting Spiritual Liquid to assist in cultivation. Without this spirit liquid, the cultivation speed would be extremely slow.

In this book, there was a formula for a Body Forging Spiritual Liquid. Li Qing skimmed through it and found that the recipe for each revolution was different. In other words, there were nine formulas that corresponded to the cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Realm.

The formula was extremely complex and required a lot of medicinal ingredients. Just the simplest first revolution required hundreds of ingredients. Of course, most of them were supplementary materials, all of them were not very precious medicinal ingredients. They could be bought easily, and only needed sufficient financial resources.

As for the core materials, there were three types: Purple Heart Vine, White Jade Marrow, and a high-grade Earth-attributed Demonic Beast inner core. These three items were all extremely rare and precious.

Just the formula for the first round required such precious ingredients. One could imagine that the spirit liquid formula that followed would definitely be even more extraordinary. As expected, the path of body refinement required an enormous amount of money.

Li Qing saw that this formula required so many ingredients. There were over a hundred kinds of ingredients, and his scalp couldn’t help but go numb. He wasn’t an alchemist and couldn’t even recognize the ingredients, so how could he be worthy of it?

“If only I hadn’t killed Master Hong back then, I would have let him prescribe medicine for me.” Li Qing muttered to himself, and then his eyes lit up, “Oh right, he left behind a Medicine King’s Ceremony, and there are also a large number of medicinal ingredients in his interspatial ring. Isn’t this something ready-made?” Although I don’t know how to refine medicine right now, this Body Forging Spiritual Liquid isn’t just for refining medicine. It’s just a simple preparation. “With the Medicine King’s Ceremony here, as long as you learn the basics for a period of time, wouldn’t you be able to concoct your own spiritual liquid?”

Thinking of this, he took out the Medicine King’s Ceremony from his interspatial ring and flipped through it. After half an hour, he put down the book and let out a sigh of relief.

In this short period of time, he had browsed through the book quickly and roughly understood it.

This book is known as the “Grand Ceremony”. It is indeed extremely rich in content, all-encompassing, and has knowledge of pharmaceutical refining. Even Li Qing, who had no foundation in alchemy, could understand the contents of the book because the basic knowledge in the book was very detailed and thorough. It was gradual and orderly, enough for people to learn by themselves.

One could imagine how easy it would be to become an ordinary alchemist with this Medicine King’s Ceremony. However, without the guidance of a teacher, it would take a long time.

Li Qing wasn’t in a hurry, and planned to slowly find time to study again. The most urgent matter was to find all the ingredients needed in the formula.

The supplementary materials were not very precious and could be bought easily. He did not pay too much attention to them. However, the three items at the core were extremely precious and required a lot of effort.

The first was the Demonic Beast Inner Core. Although this item was extremely precious and difficult for ordinary people to obtain, Li Qing happened to have killed a lot of demonic beasts in the Lianyun Mountain Range. The most important thing was the Inner Core. He immediately carefully counted the spatial rings and found four high-grade Earth-attributed inner cores. Although it may not be enough, you can use it first.

Next was the Purple Heart Vine. This thing was very easy to identify. Li Qing found the corresponding pattern in the Medicine King’s Ceremony. Following this pattern, he searched through Master Hong’s spatial ring and found three Purple Heart Vines.

After all, Master Hong was a high-grade alchemist, and his grade wasn’t low. It wasn’t surprising that he possessed such a precious medicinal ingredient. The amount of the three in front of him was more than enough to concoct a dozen portions of the medicinal liquid.

As for the final white chalcedony, it was not a medicinal ingredient. Instead, it was the essence material that was born in the jade vein. It was extremely rare. Of course, Li Qing didn’t have such a thing, so he could only think of a way in the future.

Therefore, to formulate this prescription, he only lacked the White Jade Chalcedony. Of course, there weren’t enough Demonic Beast Inner Pills, so he needed a few more.

After combing through these thoughts in his mind, he packed up his things and went to bed to rest. Leaving tomorrow, it’s useless to be anxious now. We can think of a way after we reach Cloud Continent City.

The next morning, Li Qing and Liu Ke’er left Divine Wind City.

There were many pedestrians on the road, all of them martial artists who had left after participating in the auction. Liu Ke’er’s face was covered with a veil to avoid attracting others’ attention.

The two of them lowered their heads and walked in a very low-key manner, avoiding the people from the big sects as much as possible.

Through eavesdropping on passers-by ‘conversations, Li Qing learned that the Heavenly Saint Fruit from last night had been seized by the people of Purple Cloud Villa for 210,000 spirit stones. Such a high price made Li Qing very surprised. The major powers were indeed rich in resources, paying such a high price for a single fruit.

What was the concept of 210,000 spirit stones? If Li Qing hadn’t gotten a few windfalls recently, he probably wouldn’t have made so much money in his ten lifetimes.

“After all, it can increase one’s lifespan by one year!” Li Qing sighed. One armor was equal to sixty years. Such a long time was enough to allow the top experts to make a breakthrough and take a step forward. Perhaps if he accidentally reached the Void Realm, he would earn a lot of money.

He couldn’t help but wonder, “Since the things that increase one’s lifespan are so precious, then the pine nuts formed from the Eternal Azure Pine also have this kind of effect. Why should we invite people from all major powers to come and eat them for free?”

However, he did not know that this was mainly because the effect of the Eternal Green Pine’s pine nuts on increasing longevity was not very obvious. It was only a few years of longevity, which was better than nothing. Moreover, he could not eat too much, because eating too much would have no effect. Of course, it would not be that precious.

More importantly, the number of pine nuts produced by the Eternal Azure Pine was simply too large. The people of the Eight Desolate Sect could not finish eating this. That was why they invited people from outside to taste it. They also had further exchanges with them and conducted all-round cooperation.

The Eight Desolate Sect lived in seclusion in the depths of the Lianyun Mountain Range all year round. If they didn’t cooperate with the people of the various major powers, they wouldn’t be able to maintain the operation of such a large sect. Even though the Eight Desolate Sect was an elite sect with very few people, their daily expenses were still quite high. Hence, although they didn’t leave the secluded world, their connection with the outside world wasn’t small.

Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard someone say, “You know what? That black-robed eccentric who was in the limelight last night actually sneaked away while everyone was fighting for the Heavenly Saint Fruit.”

“That’s right, I also know about this. I heard that the people from the War King Sect originally intended to stop him at the end of the auction, but they didn’t pay attention to him and he disappeared. They were simply mad. They launched a city-wide search by their subordinates, causing a huge commotion.”

“I saw their people searching this morning. They are too arrogant. This is Divine Wind City, not their home ground. They actually dare to do such a thing openly.”

“That’s right, the auction was originally a fair competition. Concession is a matter of affection, not a matter of duty. Why should they take revenge on others so righteously?”

“Shh, don’t speak too loudly, so that they won’t hear you. The people of the War King Sect are all a bunch of reckless men…”

Hearing these people’s conversation, Li Qing couldn’t help but laugh secretly. The people from the War King Sect didn’t get anything good at this auction. It would be strange if they weren’t mad.

But what’s the point of venting your anger like this? No matter how powerful your forces are, you will not be able to know everything. Even if he spent a lot of money to find out, he had already escaped.

…

There were no more troubles along the way. Li Qing and Liu Ke’er headed east. After walking for about two days, they finally left Funing Prefecture and entered the area of Feiyun Prefecture.

Feiyun Prefecture was the central region of Yunzhou, the most prosperous place with a large population.

As for Cloud Continent City, it was the prefecture city of this prefecture! The entire Feiyun Prefecture was ruled by Yunzhou City. In this place, Cloud Continent City was a big power, not just a city.

Clearly, they were getting closer and closer to their destination.

After entering Feiyun Prefecture, people could be seen everywhere. Occasionally, one or two villages could be encountered. Occasionally, a town could be seen. It was bustling and very prosperous.

On the way, he had encountered a few robberies, all of them small thieves. They were killed by Li Qing casually and didn’t cause much trouble.

Two days later, they finally arrived at the foot of Cloud Continent City.

Looking at this magnificent Cloud Continent City, Li Qing finally understood why Liu Ke’er said that Dongchang City was far inferior to it.

Actually, although Cloud Continent City was very large, it was slightly smaller than Divine Wind City. However, that was also because there was a large mountain in Divine Wind City, which occupied more than half of the area. If the area of this mountain was excluded, Divine Wind City would be much smaller than Cloud Continent City.

Li Qing looked at the magnificent city with amazement and said softly, “I wonder who is stronger than our Eight Desolate Sect in these so-called great powers in Yunzhou?”

Liu Ke’er smiled and said, “Of course, the Eight Desolate Sect is formidable. It has been passed down from ancient times until now, and it can’t be defeated. For Yan Yang Peak alone, if it is brought to the outside world, it can already be considered a major force. How powerful do you think the Eight Peaks will be when they join forces?”

Li Qing was stunned. He nodded and said, “That’s right, our Eight Desolate Sect is still powerful. It is a dao heritage passed down from ancient times to the present. It has an authentic heritage and a profound foundation. How can these sects compare to it?”

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel proud.

Liu Ke’er chuckled and said, “Actually, the sects in the outside world are not as weak as you think. After all, they have developed for so long. No matter what, they can produce one or two outstanding figures to lead the rise of Yunzhou. Do you know why the Supreme Sword Sect can be recognized as the number one sect in Yunzhou?”

“Oh? Didn’t they say that their individual strength is extremely strong and their swordsmanship is superb?” He asked, puzzled.

“This is only one reason. The main reason is that the Tai Hao Sword Sect produced an amazing figure ten thousand years ago. He cultivated to the Dao Realm, which is why he led the Tai Hao Sword Sect to dominate the Cloud Continent.”

“Dao Realm!” Li Qing was shocked. An expert of this level could only come out once in countless years. He didn’t expect that there would be such a person in the history of Yunzhou.

Just as the two of them were talking, the ground suddenly shook.
