Chapter 67 The Smoke of War
From a courtyard near the sea on Baiyu Island, a figure in a blue robe walked out.
Li Qing walked out of the courtyard and sat cross-legged on a boulder by the sea with a calm expression.
Looking at the vast sea in the distance, the depression in my heart dissipated a little.
In more than a year, he successfully used the power of the Golden Scale Fruit to completely recover from all the injuries in his body.
Compared to before, his current physical strength has more than doubled.
Now, in addition to the twenty-four spiritual orifices on the limbs that were opened before, two of the six spiritual orifices in the body are also opened.
It seems that there are only two more spiritual orifices because Li Qing deliberately used the power of the Golden Scale Fruit to restore and strengthen the twenty-four spiritual orifices on his limbs.
Although the number is not large, fundamental changes have actually taken place.
Now the power of thunder in the spiritual orifice is more than double that of before. With the help of the power of the golden scale fruit, the spiritual orifice has become extremely stable and can have more potential as time goes by.
Li Qing's depression comes from his practice of water-bending techniques.
With the ordinary yellow-level skills and the middle-grade spiritual roots in his body, he was still stuck at the peak of the sixth level of Qi training, even if the pills continued.
There is only one step to the late stage of Qi training, but I can't get past it.
This Li Qing came out of seclusion mainly for another reason. The previous garrison mission on Baiyu Island was about to end, and he also needed to make early plans.
During this retreat, my elixirs have been consumed, and I still need to go to Topaz Island to replenish the elixirs.
As for his future plans, Li Qing must first inquire about some information before making a decision.
After being isolated from the world for such a long time, Li Qing still needs to understand the recent situation of the sect.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Qing got up and returned to the cave to put his magic circle into his storage bag, and then walked towards Baiyu Island.
On the way, they happened to meet Meng Kan and the other two who were preparing to inspect the Lingkuang Cave.
"Brother Li, long time no see"
After seeing Li Qing, Meng Kan walked up with a smile and said hello.
Qin Geng also saluted Li Qing from behind, but looked at Li Qing in surprise.
"Brother Meng, Brother Qin"
Li Qing smiled lightly in return.
"It seems that Brother Li gained a lot from this retreat."
At this time, Meng Kan discovered that Li Qing's cultivation had improved a step further, and he was surprised.
The sixth level of Qi training is already the peak of the middle stage of Qi training, and there is only one step left to enter the late stage of Qi training.
At this age, Li Qing's cultivation progress is not unsatisfactory.
"Fortunately, the previous battle was a blessing in disguise. This has brought us one step closer to strength," Li Qing replied calmly.
Before coming out, he had already used the Hidden Spirit Art to hide some of his strength. On the surface, it looked like he had just entered the sixth level of Qi training.
In fact, Li Qing is already at the peak of the sixth level of Qi training, and is only one step away from the seventh level of Qi training.
"We really admire the perseverance of our Taoist friends. If I had such a perseverant Taoist heart when I was young, I might be able to go further in my cultivation."
Meng Kan sighed with emotion.
After a few words of greeting, Li Qing asked about the current situation of the sect for later planning.
After hearing Li Qing's question, the two of them felt a little scared at the same time.
"Brother Li, you have been in seclusion for more than a year, and things have been quite busy and bad."
Meng Kan said seriously.
As Meng Kan narrated, the changing scenes of more than a year began to slowly unfold in front of Li Qing.
In the past year or so, the friction with another giant sect, the Beast Spirit Sect, not only has not resolved, but has shown signs of getting worse.
There were a lot of fights between the two forces around some of the spiritual mines and treasure lands below.
Due to the boundary between the two major forces, the vague division of spheres of influence between them is already complicated. This has further led to constant wars between the forces.
It is said that many outer sect disciples died during sect missions.
After describing the general situation, Meng Kan silently added: "I heard from the family that even the Golden Core monks had their fate."
After listening to Meng Kan's story, Li Qing couldn't help but frown.
Originally, if there was some struggle between the two forces, maybe he would be able to take advantage of the troubled waters.
However, seeing how fierce the battle is now, it is clear that the danger outweighs the opportunity.
At this time, his mind was spinning rapidly. It was too dangerous in this unknown situation. If he was unlucky enough to encounter a foundation-building monk, he would probably die.
Faced with this danger, he began to slowly give up the idea of returning to the sect.
"What do you two fellow Taoists think of what will happen next?" Li Qing suddenly asked.
After hearing Li Qing's question, the two looked at each other and smiled.
"To be honest, Brother Li, I and Brother Qin have decided to continue stationed on Baiyu Island. Right now, this matter is more secure."
After Li Qing came out of seclusion, Meng Kan became more and more convinced that Li Qing was definitely not as simple a monk as he seemed, so he deliberately tried to win over Li Qing.
After thinking about it carefully, it seems that at present it is more appropriate to continue to be stationed on Baiyu Island, so that if anything happens in the future, I can plan in advance.
Thinking of this, Li Qing no longer hesitated and made a decision in his heart.
"Brother Li, in my opinion, it is better to garrison Baiyu Island with the two of us. I have already contacted an elder of the family who is in the foundation building period. Through management, we can continue to retain the task of garrisoning Baiyu Island."
After Meng Kan finished speaking, he looked at Li Qing eagerly.
After this time, he will have to pay a big price, and he can only rely on Wen Yu's tricks for future success.
Once Li Qing continues to be stationed, the profits will be divided between the two of them.
In addition, Li Qing is dedicated to hard work, which will not affect his plan for Wen Yu in the slightest.
Once Li Qing leaves and another monk comes, not to mention the distribution of benefits, other things may also change.
"I don't know how to deal with it." Li Qing asked calmly.
"Based on the current situation, there are at least four to five hundred low-grade spiritual stones."
Meng Kan looked distressed when he said it.
Seeing Li Qing's silence, Meng Kan naturally knew Li Qing's doubts.
"Brother Li may not be very clear about the current situation."
"Due to the friction between the sects, no one wants to carry out dangerous tasks related to the Beast Spirit Sect."
"As a result, the garrison mission has become a popular mission."
Meng Kan sighed at this.
"We monks are not like people with backgrounds within the sect. Most of the non-dangerous tasks have been divided up by them. The rest of the ordinary disciples have now been reduced to cannon fodder."
"This is just a coincidence. The person in charge of Huangyu Island thought that the foundation-building monk knew an elder from my family."
"So as long as a few of us take out some spirit stones, we can exchange for this relatively safe mission."
"I wonder what Brother Li thinks?"
