Chapter 69: Identity of Demon Hunter
After this retreat, Li Qing finally improved his cultivation to the late stage of Qi training.
At this time, he realized through personal experience that the middle stage of Qi training and the late stage of Qi training seemed to be only one step away, but in fact the gap in strength was quite huge.
Generally speaking, ordinary monks will have some powerful methods only after they reach the later stage of Qi training.
Including the ability to fly with weapons and some magic spells.
The main reason is that the mana in the body is strong enough in the later stage of Qi training, and any method can be supported by sufficient mana.
Li Qing himself did not expect that this retreat would take a full year and three months.
I thought that this breakthrough in practice would be within a few months, but I didn't expect that it would be like this.
But thinking about his current age, Li Qing felt a little relieved.
After nearly three years of seclusion, he reached the age of twenty-three.
At this age, a monk in the late stage of Qi training can be considered a rising star within the sect.
The current cultivation speed can catch up with the cultivation speed of ordinary genius disciples.
However, with the same level of cultivation, the resources Li Qing spent were far beyond what an ordinary late-stage Qi training monk could bear.
But all this effort is worth it.
After reaching the later stage of Qi training, Li Qing could not easily show off his physical strength.
In the later stage of Qi training, his magical cultivation strength and his sophisticated magical weapons make it difficult to find an opponent at the same level.
The magic weapon in his hand now, in addition to the high-grade magic weapon Bilangjian used in battle, there is also a high-quality magic weapon Xuan Shui Jing, a self-mark defense magic weapon.
These two magical weapons were enough to allow him to gain a foothold in the later stages of Qi training.
Li Qing thought for a moment and then got up and walked outside.
Now that we have entered the late stage of Qi training, we can spread some of our energy and inquire about some internal news within the sect, and more importantly, news about Wei Xuan.
Of course, these are definitely not something Li Qing can accomplish.
There is nothing he can do to face this with his connections.
However, there is actually a suitable candidate on Baiyu Island, and that is Meng Kan.
Now Meng Kan no longer needs to focus on cultivation, so he naturally has plenty of time.
After a long period of contact, Li Qing also dispelled some of his wariness towards Meng Kan.
There are also some interests tied up between the two, which together can allow Li Qing to hand over the matter to Meng Kan with confidence.
Of course, it was obviously impossible for Li Qing to tell Meng Kan his true purpose.
He will put the news about Wei Xuan into the changes within the sect to find out.
"Brother Li, long time no see"
After seeing Li Qing, Meng Kan smiled and said hello.
"It seems that Brother Li gained a lot from this retreat."
Meng Kan noticed that Li Qing's aura was stronger than before.
It feels like Li Qing is not far away from the peak of the sixth level of Qi training now.
"I have gained something from being in seclusion for such a long time," Li Qing replied.
"We really admire Taoist friends who have such a heart towards the Tao. I think it is not too far away from the late stage of Qi training."
After seeing Li Qing's cultivation, Meng Kan's eyes flashed with respect.
"Why"
"This time, the resources in hand are also consumed in the latent cultivation, so when I come out this time, I have to plan for the resources for subsequent cultivation."
After exchanging pleasantries, Li Qing finally revealed his purpose.
He had to come up with a reasonable explanation for his rapid cultivation speed for an ordinary middle-grade spiritual root.
The previous demon hunter was perfect for this reason.
Compared with the real monster hunters in the outer sea, the monster hunters in the inner sea are relatively less fierce in fighting monsters every day.
Monster hunters in the inland sea are mostly born to search for various treasures in the sea, and most of them are to catch spiritual fish.
What Li Qing needs now is to confirm this identity.
Luck can cover up some unreasonable existences.
After Li Qing finished speaking, a strange look flashed in Meng Kan's eyes.
Seeing this, Li Qing also noticed the change in Meng Kan and chuckled: "I have no intention of meddling in the affairs of Baiyu Island."
"Being in seclusion for a long time requires exchanging some of the things in your hands into resources."
“That’s when I thought of Fellow Daoist Meng.”
After Li Qing finished speaking, Meng Kan's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
"You can wrap this around your body, and it will definitely not cause fellow Daoist Li to suffer."
Meng Kan said excitedly.
Li Qing must still have some wealth after being in seclusion for such a long time, and maybe he can get a lot of extra income from this.
"Fellow Daoist Meng, please take a look."
After Li Qing finished speaking, he waved his hand from the beast spirit bag on one side.
A stream of blue water swept out.
A group of Xuanshui spirit fish were also wrapped in it.
"Brother Li, this is"
Meng Kan looked at Li Qing in surprise.
What Li Qing took out was beyond Meng Kan's expectations.
He originally thought that the resources Li Qing wanted to redeem might be other treasures such as spiritual mines, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be the very cherished spiritual fish.
Naturally, he also recognized the mysterious water spirit fish released by Li Qing.
"This is exactly what I need to take action - Xuanshui Spirit Fish"
Li Qing stood aside and said calmly.
"I believe Brother Meng will be familiar with this kind of spiritual fish. The mysterious water spiritual fish itself can refine mana for water monks. The water spirit essence contained in it can be of great benefit to water monks if taken for a long time."
"What fellow Taoist said is absolutely true"
Meng Kan looked at the spiritual fish that Li Qing took out and said excitedly.
Xuanshui spirit fish is a common spirit fish in Haoyu sea area.
Generally speaking, except for special spiritual fish, most of them are used to refine elixirs.
Li Qing had taken it directly during his training before because he did not have the means to refine elixirs. Moreover, with his current status, he was not qualified to find an alchemist to help him refine elixirs.
Rather than exposing this matter, it is better to take it directly, which will also make it easier to keep a low profile.
"Brother Li, these are all spiritual fish"
Meng Kan wanted to ask Li Qing Lingyu about his origins, but the words came to his lips but he still didn't say it.
Every monk has his own secret, and it seems inappropriate to ask about the origin of the spiritual fish.
Seeing Meng Kan's words stop, Li Qing continued: "These spirit fish were captured by me, and I wanted to sell them because I didn't have enough money."
Even if Meng Kan didn't ask for this information, Li Qing would take the initiative to tell it.
He needs to slowly establish this identity from Meng Kan.
"I didn't expect Brother Li to be so secretive that he was also a demon hunter."
The surprise in Meng Kan's tone came from the heart.
Whether it is a monster hunter in the outer sea or a monster hunter in the inland sea, it can be said to be an extremely dangerous profession.
The seemingly calm sea area is full of dangers. Whether it is the threat from monsters or the unknown risks hidden in the deep sea, people may die at any time.
What's more important is the monks' previous calculations and fights with each other.
Without the restraint of order, people often become more ferocious than monsters.
"Besides, there is one more thing I need to trouble Brother Meng."
