"Fellow Daoist Chen!"
Seeing Lu Qing swallow ten strands of blood at once, Taoist Wubao’s eyes widened.
He had just experienced with his own eyes the evil spirit in this strange bloodline. The feeling of wanting to corrode his soul in every way was truly terrifying.
Moreover, he almost couldn't bear it every time he refined a strand of blood.
Lu Qing actually swallowed ten strands of blood at once. He simply couldn't imagine how terrifying the impact of the evil spirit he had to endure was.
However, Taoist Wubao didn't dare to speak again, for fear of affecting Lu Qing's refining.
Xiao Li, on the contrary, was not worried at all.
It knew that Ah Qing never did anything without confidence.
Moreover, it only refined ten strands of blood at once. Even it could barely do it by itself.
Ah Qing is much stronger than it, so there won't be any problems.
Sure enough, just as Xiao Li thought, after swallowing ten strands of blood, Lu Qing's expression remained calm as usual, and he did not show any discomfort at all.
About a quarter of an hour later, Lu Qing opened his eyes with some regret in his eyes.
"Sure enough, the witch's blood extracted by the Black Rat at the Foundation Establishment stage has its limits."
After absorbing ten strands of Yuan Blood at once, Lu Qing, like Xiao Li, felt that the effect of this Yuan Blood on him was almost zero.
In fact, to be more precise, after absorbing six or seven strands, Lu Qing already felt that the blood of the Foundation Establishment Realm was useless to him.
The few strands of blood at the end were actually wasted by him.
"These ten strands of blood probably increased my physical strength by about one thousandth."
But Lu Qing was still somewhat satisfied.
After refining and absorbing this vital blood, his physical strength increased by about one thousandth.
Don't think that one thousandth is a small amount. You should know that his physical body is so strong now that it is terrifying.
Even those who are in the late Jindan stage and are practicing physical cultivation may not be as strong as him.
Just some of the essence blood extracted from the body of a black rat in the Foundation Establishment Stage was able to make his already strong body strengthened by one thousandth.
To be honest, the effect is already extremely amazing.
After all, even those golden elixir-grade pills that are specially used to temper the body are actually of no use to Lu Qing.
It is still far inferior to his own perfect golden elixir, which has a better nourishing effect on the body.
"I just don't know if there are any black rats of the Jindan realm level in this forest." A thought flashed through Lu Qing's mind.
The witch's blood in the body of the black rat with black scales in the foundation-building stage is no longer useful to him.
But if it is at the Jindan level, there may be different changes.
"Chen Daoyou, are you okay?"
Just as Lu Qing was pondering in his mind, Taoist Wubao asked.
At the same time, there was a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
When he saw Lu Qing being silent after waking up, he thought something had gone wrong.
"It's okay, thank you for your concern, Taoist priest." Lu Qing came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Okay, we can continue to sweep this sea of forests."
"Fellow Daoist Chen, have you refined all those bloodlines?" Taoist Wubao asked in surprise.
"Well, barely." Lu Qing nodded, "But although these bloodlines are strange, their effects are limited. After refining those bloodlines just now, the remaining ones may not be of much use to me."
When Taoist Wubao heard this, he was immediately shocked.
It was not until Lu Qing had put away the jade talisman on the ground that Taoist Wubao came to his senses.
There was a hint of awe in the look he gave Lu Qing.
Although Lu Qing did not say it explicitly, various clues have made him realize that Lu Qing's strength is likely to be much stronger than he imagined!
In the following time, Lu Qing continued to sweep the forest with the Five Treasures Taoist priests.
Although the witch's blood in the body of the Black Scaled Black Rat in the Foundation Establishment Realm has almost no effect on him and Xiao Li.
However, this Yuan Blood is still extremely rare and can be called a real treasure.
He tried to collect as many as possible. Whether he left them to Xiaoyan and his master in the future, or auctioned them off in exchange for spirit stones and treasures, it would be a great choice.
boom!
There was another tremor, and Lu Qing caught a black rat with black scales, shocked it to death, and put it away.
"It took so long to find another one. I'm afraid we have captured almost all the black monsters in the forest."
Lu Qing looked around.
This was already the third day after they had refined their primordial blood.
In the past few days, Lu Qing and his team have cleared most of the forest.
As they continued their raids, the black-scaled rats became increasingly difficult to find.
They had been searching for nearly half an hour before they found this one.
"Yes, I feel that we have almost searched this forest." Taoist Wubao also nodded.
Lu Qing pondered for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then let's get ready to leave. We've already captured enough black monsters, so there's no need to waste time on the remaining ones that slipped through the net."
In the past few days, Xiao Li has found over a hundred black-scaled rats.
This quantity is enough for Lu Qing to use.
"That's good. We should always leave a way out. We can't really catch all the black monsters in this forest."
Taoist Wubao also agreed.
Moreover, he had already learned from Lu Qing that the effect of that strange bloodline on strengthening the body had its limits.
Anyway, they have captured enough black monsters in the past few days.
"Then let's go now."
After making the decision, the two of them immediately turned into streams of light and flew towards the southeast.
When leaving, Lu Qing looked back and sighed in his heart.
He originally thought that in such a large forest, there should be some black rats at the Jindan level.
Unexpectedly, they swept most of the area and found no trace of the Jindan realm black-scaled black rat.
It seems that this forest must have some kind of rules that suppress the breakthrough of the black-scaled rats.
The two flew all the way southeast.
This time, because the forest had been swept by them, the road was calm and peaceful. Until they flew out of the forest, the two did not encounter any attacks again.
"Finally it came out."
The moment they flew out of the forest, both of them felt a sense of relief.
Although the forest posed no threat to them, it was still a bit boring to keep looking at the monotonous scenery.
After leaving the forest, Lu Qing and his friends were greeted by a vast grassland.
And in the far distance, the shadows of mountains can be seen faintly.
"This secret realm is really big."
Lu Qing sighed a little.
The vastness of the forest they came out of alone was comparable to that of several states in their home world.
The same is true for this grassland.
What’s more important is that until now, they have not met any other monks.
You know, there are tens of thousands of cultivators in Tianshu City.
So many monks entered the secret realm one day earlier than them, but they have been here for several days and have not met any of them.
There is only one explanation.
The scope of this secret place is incredibly large.
Even if tens of thousands of monks entered it, it would still be like a drop of water entering the sea, unable to create any waves.
"Master, where are we going next? Can you predict where the other people in the secret realm have gone?" Lu Qing asked.
"I'll try."
Taoist Wubao took out his black tortoise shell again and began to tell fortunes.
"According to the hexagram, if we continue to head southeast, we should be able to meet someone."
After more than ten breaths, Taoist Wubao looked at the hexagram on the ground and said.
"Is it still in the southeast direction? Is it in those mountains?"
Lu Qing looked towards the shadow of the mountains in the distance.
"In that case, after you have recovered from your breathing, we will continue on our journey."
Taoist Wubao did not refuse. A long time had passed since his last breathing exercise, and more than half of his magic power had been consumed.
I don’t know if I will encounter any danger in this grassland, so I have to stay in the best condition.
Immediately, he took out a mid-grade spirit stone and began to absorb the spiritual energy within it to recover.
Lu Qing stood by and continued to protect him.
But at this moment, a strange idea emerged in Lu Qing's mind.
Since entering the secret realm, because the spiritual energy here is thin, they have to absorb the spiritual energy from the spirit stones to restore their magic power every once in a while.
In the past few days, several medium-grade spirit stones have been consumed.
To him, this amount of spirit stones was naturally nothing.
However, this may not be the case for many other cultivators who have entered the secret realm.
In particular, many cultivators purchased treasures and elixirs before entering the secret realm to enhance their own strength, spending a lot of spirit stones.
But who could have imagined that this secret realm would be so special, with the spiritual energy inside being so thin.
Once the magic power and spiritual power are consumed, it is impossible to replenish them by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
In this way, the importance of spirit stones will be greatly increased.
Those monks who don’t have many spirit stones on them will probably be in trouble.
It might even cause some trouble.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, the small path is ready."
While Lu Qing's thoughts were fluctuating, Taoist Wubao had finally finished regulating his breathing and recovered to his peak state.
"Then let's go."
The two of them turned into streams of light again and flew towards the shadow of the mountain.
On the way, the two discovered that the grassland was not completely silent.
There are still many living creatures living inside.
It’s just that the realms of these creatures are not high, and the most powerful one is only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Without exception, these creatures also have strong bodies and no spiritual power in their bodies.
"Sure enough, there is witch's blood among these creatures as well."
Floating in the air, Lu Qing was holding a rabbit-like creature in his hand, looking at the message on the note in his field of vision, and thought to himself.
He had just caught it from the meadow below.
After checking with supernatural powers, he discovered that there was indeed witch's blood inside.
However, this rabbit is only at the Qi Refining stage, and the witch's blood inside it is very weak, so it should be of no use to him.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, what happened?" asked Taoist Wubao.
He already knew that Lu Qing had a skill that could detect the blood in these strange beasts.
"Our guess is correct. The creatures on this grassland also have that strange bloodline. I think this should be the characteristic of this secret place.
It's just that the bloodline is weak and of little use to us, so there's no need to waste time."
Lu Qing casually threw the rabbit in his hand into the Lihuo Ding.
Although the blood in the rabbit is of no use to him, the rabbit is still delicious if roasted.
I just don’t know what the spiritual rabbits in this secret realm taste like.
After this little episode, the two continued on their journey.
On the way, Taoist Wubao adjusted his breathing several times. Finally, near dusk, they arrived at the edge of the grassland and could see the mountains more clearly.
Yes, in this secret realm, there is also a distinction between night and day, just like the outside world.
"Master, we are about to enter the mountain. Do you need to regulate your breathing again?"
Lu Qing asked when they were still dozens of miles away from the mountains ahead.
"Okay." Taoist Wubao nodded.
Although his current mana consumption is not that much, the deep mountains and old forests often represent unpredictable crises.
He didn't want to enter and if something happened, he wouldn't have any problems due to lack of magic power.
Thinking of this, Taoist Wubao looked at Lu Qing with awe.
After entering the secret realm, Lu Qing and he traveled together, but he had never seen Lu Qing need to regulate his breathing.
After asking, I found out that Lu Qing's practice method was quite special. He could absorb the spiritual energy from the spirit stone at any time without regulating his breathing.
Taoist Wubao naturally knew the reason.
This shows that Lu Qing has achieved perfect control over his own strength, and his ability to inhale and exhale external spiritual energy has reached an extremely terrifying level.
Therefore, even in the extreme environment of this secret realm, where the consumption of his mana increases tenfold, he can recover at any time.
In other words, as long as he has enough spirit stones, he can absorb the spiritual energy inside at any time without worrying about running out of mana.
The two men landed on the ground, and Lu Qing was still helping them to protect the Dharma, while Taoist Wubao was regulating their breathing.
This time, because there was nothing else to do, Lu Qing did not set up the formation.
Instead, he paid close attention to the movements around him.
While waiting for Taoist Wubao to recover, his expression suddenly changed and he looked towards the mountains ahead.
At this moment, Xiao Li's reminder also sounded in his mind: "Ah Qing, someone is coming this way."
"Yeah, I feel it."
Lu Qing responded lightly, then flicked his fingers and threw several jade talismans around Wubao Taoist to protect him.
Then his body flew into the air and he looked in the direction where the breath came from.
Then he saw that more than ten figures, divided into two groups, were coming towards them one after the other, about ten miles ahead.
Among them, three or four figures in the front were running away, and seven or eight people were chasing them from behind.
However, all of them were using their body skills to run on the ground instead of flying.
"You still want to escape? Stop immediately and hand over all the spirit stones on you, otherwise I will kill you without mercy!"
Just as Lu Qing was observing, a big man from one of the two groups who was chasing behind shouted loudly and threateningly.
"You want us to hand over the spirit stones? Dream on! Catch up with us if you can!"
The person in front sneered back.
Not only did he not stop, but his movements became even faster.
"If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you!"
Seeing that he was stubborn, the big man no longer held back.
Suddenly, he took out a long sword-shaped magic weapon, which turned into a stream of light and blasted forward!
