Looking at Qiao Rong's silent and completely lifeless body, Lu Qing's expression did not change.
He actually had no hatred towards Qiao Rong, but this person hated him to the core and even put a bounty on him in the Nether Palace.
Then he naturally wouldn't mind solving it.
With a thought, a transparent Nanming fire was born, completely burning Qiao Rong's body into nothingness.
This grudge has been completely resolved.
As for Qiao Rong's head, if he had not looted the treasury of the second branch of the Gongshu family, he might have taken the risk of taking it to the Netherworld Palace to claim the reward.
But now, he has hundreds of thousands of medium-grade spirit stones in his hands, so there is no need to take this risk.
After solving this small matter, Lu Qing began to think about what to do next.
There is no doubt that the most important thing for him now is to break the limit as soon as possible and enter the realm of the tenth turn of the Golden Elixir.
This time he harvested so many spirit stones, which were more than enough to not only support him in entering the tenth stage of the Golden Elixir, but also to cultivate to the great perfection of the twelfth stage of the Golden Elixir, and even to achieve the Primordial Spirit.
However, this retreat is particularly important and will definitely take a long time.
Therefore, before going into seclusion, some necessary preparations should be made in advance.
At least, this cave is not suitable for long-term retreat at the moment.
He still needs to find a better place to retreat.
"By the way, which continent am I in now?"
A question suddenly occurred to Lu Qing.
The situation was urgent before. In order to quickly get rid of the pursuit of the old ghost Gongshu, he had no time to control the precise positioning when he urged the void flying boat.
So now he can only be sure that he is still in the Tianyuan World, but he cannot be sure which state he is in.
After putting away the formation, Lu Qing came outside and felt the surrounding situation.
"The spiritual energy around is abundant and free of impurities. This shouldn't be the Demon Realm."
According to legend, although there is a lot of spiritual energy in the Demon Realm, the world is also filled with an energy called demonic energy, which is not suitable for human beings to live in for a long time.
There is no demonic energy around right now, so we can first rule out the possibility of being in the demonic realm.
As for whether it is still in the human territory, we need to confirm it first.
In the next two days, Lu Qing finally determined his location after some flying exploration.
"So that's how it is. I've actually come to the outskirts of the Myriad Demons Mountains."
Lu Qing looked at the endless and vast mountains in the distance and finally knew where he was.
They actually arrived near the Wan Yao Mountains.
You should know that the Wan Yao Mountains are the boundary between the human territory and the demon territory. This vast mountain range, stretching for millions of miles, completely separates the human territory and the demon territory. It is one of the most vast mountain ranges in the Tianyuan world.
"I didn't expect that by activating the Void Flying Boat, I could be teleported directly here." Lu Qing sighed.
Zhoutian City is located in the rear of the human territory.
In other words, the Void Flying Boat directly crossed most of the human territory and teleported Lu Qing here.
"But this is just right. The Myriad Demons Mountains are filled with spiritual energy and have many spiritual veins, making them perfect for retreat."
Lu Qing did not feel embarrassed, but was quite happy.
Given the vastness of the Wan Yao Mountains, there are probably many natural formations formed by the mountains. As long as you find one, it will be an excellent place for retreat.
More importantly, although the Wan Yao Mountains have the word "Wan Yao" in its name, it does not belong to the demon realm, nor to the human race. It is an unregulated area, and no powerful forces have taken root here.
If you retreat here, you don't need to worry too much about attracting the attention of certain forces.
This time, Lu Qing planned to go into a state of retreat. At least he had to reach perfection in the twelfth transformation of the golden elixir before he could come out.
If all goes well, it is even possible to directly reach the Soul Realm!
He had a premonition that if he attacked his soul, the commotion would be significant.
If it is in a busy area, it will inevitably attract attention.
A lawless area like the Wan Yao Mountains is perfect for him to go into seclusion.
Of course, precisely because there is no one in charge here, necessary preventive measures must be taken.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Qing flew into the Wan Yao Mountains.
Two days later, he successfully found a natural formation.
"This formation gathers spiritual energy from a thousand miles around, which is perfect for my retreat."
Lu Qingxu stood high in the sky, with a strange light in his eyes and a look of joy on his face.
With his current attainments in formation, he could determine the location of the center of the formation at a glance from the terrain of the mountains and rivers below.
He flew down and headed towards the center of the formation.
It is a seemingly inconspicuous valley, but once you enter it, you will find the difference inside.
The valley is filled with spiritual energy, and even the deep pool is a true spiritual pool. The water flowing in the pool is spiritual water that can be used to directly make elixirs.
Lu Qing summoned a flying sword and began cutting through the cliffs of the valley.
After a while, he dug out a cave deep in the mountain.
Then he came to the front of the deep pool and was about to test the water quality in the spiritual pool, but he heard an invisible roar that could shake the soul.
The surface of the deep pool suddenly exploded, and a huge figure flew out of the pool, opened its bloody mouth as big as a small house, and pounced on Lu Qing.
Despite the sudden change, Lu Qing's expression did not change at all, as if he had expected it.
He opened his palm, and a huge, colorful magical palm as big as a mountain suddenly condensed in the air and slapped towards the figure.
boom!
There was a loud noise like an earth-shaking sound, and then the huge figure was slapped away by Lu Qing, and hit the mountain wall on the other side hard, rolling in pain.
"Certainly."
However, as Lu Qing gently uttered a word, the huge figure immediately froze, and was covered and suppressed by a layer of yellow light, unable to move anymore.
"It turned out to be a white dragon."
Lu Qing was a little surprised when he saw the figure clearly.
He had long noticed that there was a faint breath in the deep pool.
He was not surprised. After all, this valley was the center of the formation where the mountains and rivers within a thousand miles converged. It was a real treasure land for cultivation. It would be a problem if there were no living creatures occupying it.
However, what he did not expect was that the one occupying the valley was a white dragon.
Moreover, this white dragon looks quite different. It has an unusually beautiful body of scales, four claws under its belly, and a pair of white jade horns on its head. It is obvious that it is not an ordinary spirit beast.
Out of curiosity, Lu Qing couldn't help but activate his special ability and look at it.
After a while, several messages appeared from the white dragon.
After Lu Qing finished reading those messages, he was even more surprised.
"Frost Jade Dragon, an ice dragon with true dragon blood?"
Lu Qing didn't expect that the white dragon in front of him, which was in the late stage of demon pill, actually had the blood of a true dragon.
Looking at the pleading look in the white dragon's eyes, Lu Qing pondered for a moment.
I feel that if I want to occupy other people's cultivation grounds, it would be better not to be too cruel.
So he casually shot out a wisp of spiritual power, which fell into the acupoint between Bai Jiao's eyebrows.
"I'm going to be in seclusion here for a while. You'll help me protect the Dharma outside for a while. You'll naturally benefit from it later. If you try to be sneaky or try to escape, you should know the consequences."
Bai Jiao felt the vast and majestic soul imprint in the acupoint between his eyebrows, and became even more afraid, nodding repeatedly.
"I understand. Then go back and heal your wounds."
Lu Qing casually released the sealing force on the white dragon and sent it back.
The palm strike he made earlier was quite powerful.
Even though the white dragon's body was strong, its skull was still cracked by the blow, and half of its head was almost shattered.
Now, blood with a golden tint is constantly oozing out of his mouth, dripping onto the ground and condensing into pools of frost.
Feeling the sealing force on its body removed, Bai Jiao was happy at first, but Lu Qing's words made it tremble again.
It nodded repeatedly to Lu Qing to show its submission, and then, with Lu Qing's permission, it slowly slid into the deep pool.
It was seriously injured this time, and it will probably take a few years for it to fully recover.
Watching the white dragon disappear into the deep pool, Lu Qing smiled.
Not only did he think the white dragon would escape, but the soul mark he left in the acupoint between its eyebrows was not so easy to dissolve.
If it has any evil intentions, he will detonate the mark of its soul. Even if he cannot kill it completely, it will definitely cause serious damage to its soul.
This white dragon is quite intelligent, and he believes that it knows what to choose.
This time, Lu Qing not only successfully solved the problem of Bai Jiao, but also got a guard for free, which was an unexpected surprise.
After this little episode, Lu Qing started to get busy again.
The main thing is to take advantage of the terrain of the mountains and set up formations around the valley.
This valley is the center of the heaven and earth formation with a radius of a thousand miles. The earth's spiritual energy is rich enough, but its defensive ability is almost non-existent.
Since Lu Qing is going to go into seclusion here, he naturally needs to make adequate preparations.
Immediately, in the following time, he finally spent several days setting up a large formation around the valley to protect his retreat place.
whoosh!
Throw a jade talisman deep into the ground to connect with an earth vein.
The next moment, as the jade talisman trembled slightly, an invisible wave spread out.
Immediately afterwards, within a radius of dozens of miles, the many jade talismans that Lu Qing had placed over the past few days all vibrated and communicated with each other.
Underground, which is invisible to outsiders, the flow of countless earth energies suddenly became orderly, forming an extremely powerful formation.
Feeling these changes, Lu Qing smiled and said, "Mission accomplished."
This formation was a large formation he rearranged by utilizing the natural formation with a radius of a thousand miles and combining it with the Zhoutian Star Formation.
With this great formation, even powerful beings in the Soul Realm and below the Three Tribulations cannot easily break the formation and disturb his practice.
After completing the formation, Lu Qing turned into a stream of light and quickly returned to the valley, flying into the cave.
Then he activated the formation, closed the cave, and prepared to officially go into seclusion.
When the cave was closed, a white head quietly emerged from the deep pool in the valley and looked towards the cave.
The white dragon looked at the cave with fear and curiosity.
Naturally, it was very afraid of that mysterious human being.
Just one slap almost killed him. In Bai Jiao's opinion, this human must be the powerful Yuanshen realm mentioned in the legend.
But besides fear, it also felt a little confused.
It remembered that when its father was still alive, he had told it countless times not to reveal its true identity in front of the human strongmen.
Because those human cultivators are extremely greedy.
Once the bloodline in its body is discovered, they will definitely try every possible means to gut it, pull out its tendons and skin, take away the demon pill to make elixir, share its flesh and blood, and refine its bones into magic weapons.
But this human cultivator had clearly defeated it easily, yet in the end he let it go without ripping it open. Why on earth was that?
Bai Jiao thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was going on. Finally, he took another deep look at the cave and slowly sank into the deep pool.
No one knows what the human cultivator has done these days, but the spiritual energy in the valley has become much richer.
The spiritual charm of the cave at the bottom of the pool where it lives is more than ten times richer.
With such a rich spiritual charm, perhaps its injuries will be fully recovered in just half a year instead of a few years.
Even if the spiritual energy in the valley remained so strong, after a few decades, it might be able to break through the realm that it had been unable to break through.
Could it be that this is the benefit that the human monk said, that as long as I don't run away and help him guard the cave entrance with peace of mind, I will get it?
With many doubts in mind, Bai Jiao returned to his cave to practice and heal his wounds.
The entire deep pool also completely returned to calm.
In a separate quiet room in the cave, Lu Qing could naturally sense the movements of the white dragon.
But he didn't care.
As long as that guy doesn't cause trouble, otherwise, it will be the only one who suffers.
He sat cross-legged in the cave, and with a thought, he released Xiao Li and Wu Xing.
"Next, I will go into seclusion for a long period of time. You should also practice well here and strive to break through as soon as possible. The spirit stones here are for you to use.
If you feel bored, you can relax in the valley, but you are not allowed to go anywhere else.
This valley has been sealed off by a great formation. If you venture out recklessly and get hurt by the formation, I won't take responsibility."
Lu Qing waved his hand, and two storage bags flew towards Xiaoli and Wuxing respectively.
"Ah Qing, after you are released from quarantine, can we go home?"
Xiao Li asked after taking the storage bag.
It still remembered what Lu Qing had said before.
"If everything goes well, we'll be able to go home by the time I get out of quarantine." Lu Qing smiled slightly.
Hearing this, Xiao Li's heart suddenly became excited.
As for the five elements, I am a little confused.
It had been in the Qiankun Yiqi bag for too long and was still unclear about many things, so it didn't know what the master and Xiaoli meant.
However, it had made up its mind that after its master went into seclusion, it would ask Big Sister Xiaoli what major events had occurred recently.
In this way, Lu Qing began his formal retreat in this nameless valley, striving to reach the incomparably mysterious tenth level of the Golden Core Realm. (End of this chapter)
