Chapter 173: Good News and Bad News

In Li Qing's courtyard, a flash of earthy yellow and fiery red spiritual light burst out.

Immediately afterwards, the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him quickly became restless.

A large amount of spiritual energy converged towards the Peerless Hammer like water, and every trace of pattern imprinted on it began to shine.

After a long time, the bright light faded away, and a line of information that made Li Qing excited appeared in front of his eyes.

[Successfully refining a low-grade magic weapon: the Peerless Hammer, rewarding nine years of life! 】

After such a long period of time, this weapon that Li Qing used most conveniently was finally promoted to a magical weapon today.

Moreover, it was a low-grade magic weapon, which was really something that made him extremely happy.

Li Qing carefully rubbed the handle of the sledgehammer with his hand, and the touch from his palm was so familiar.

"Finally the refining was successful, and all the hard work has paid off!"

Two hundred and twenty-nine years old!

Li Qing's lifespan suddenly increased again. The successful refining of the Peerless Hammer gave him nine years of lifespan.

He guessed that the lifespan gained by refining a low-grade magic weapon should be ten years, because when he first successfully built the unparalleled hammer, he had already gained one year of lifespan.

He couldn't care less, so Li Qing held the handle of the hammer tightly with both hands.

He poured a little bit of spiritual power into it, and the spiritual pattern of the Peerless Hammer shone slightly, and then the whole sledgehammer seemed to contain a sense of heaviness.

In addition, there is also a little bit of heat in it.

Resisting the urge to try the hammer, Li Qing swung it randomly in the air a few times, and he could probably feel the power of the unparalleled hammer in his heart.

Now, at this early stage of Qi refining, his strength is already quite impressive.

Let’s not talk about the Wandering Dragon Dagger, which is still the prototype of a middle-grade magical weapon. This newly successfully refined unparalleled hammer is definitely a powerful offensive weapon.

The middle-grade magical weapon, the Red Shadow Umbrella, is a weapon capable of both offense and defense!

In addition, he also has several talismans with him, as well as his physical body as a martial arts master.

Of course, the rice bucket that has completed the blood contract and recognized its owner cannot be ignored. It has become quite powerful after taking animal nourishing pills and animal feeding pills.

Putting all this together, Li Qing can even encounter an immortal cultivator in the middle stage of Qi refining!

Li Qing reluctantly put the Wushuang Hammer back into his storage bag, feeling a lot more relaxed.

During this period of time, he has been worried that the Wushuang Hammer will be completely destroyed. If the spirituality in Mo Jin is lost, he will have to look for materials again.

boom!

Almost instantly, Li Qing seemed to hear something inside his body collapse and shatter.

The rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him started to stir slightly again, but this time, it actually gathered towards Li Qing's body.

Upon noticing something strange about himself, Li Qing was not surprised but overjoyed. He immediately sat down cross-legged and quietly began to breathe and breathe.

With the continuous gathering of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, the mana in his body is rising steadily, and even his aura is also growing rapidly!

After a long time, when his breath slowly stabilized, Li Qing opened his eyes, filled with joy.

"The fourth level of Qi refining is finally in the middle stage of Qi refining!"

"It's such a joyful occasion. I didn't expect that the bottleneck that had stuck me for so long would actually be broken today."

At this moment, Li Qing felt the urge to burst into tears.

Although breaking through from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level may not seem like a big deal to others, Li Qing has been working hard for this for a long time.

I thought it would be stuck for at least a few months, but I didn't expect that today I would have a breakthrough.

The middle stage of Qi refining!

"I didn't expect that when I first built the Peerless Hammer, I happened to become an external warrior."

"Now that Wushuang has been tempered into a magic weapon, my strength has also entered the middle stage of Qi refining. It's really gratifying!"

After saying that, Li Qing felt the changes in himself with joy, and the smile on his face could not be suppressed at all.

"Well, first of all, the magic power is more powerful. In the past, I had to sparingly use all kinds of basic small spells, but now I don't have so much to worry about."

As he spoke, Li Qing waved his hand and recited the mantra silently in his mind, and several extremely hot fireballs appeared out of thin air.

Because he practices fire-attribute skills, he will be more comfortable releasing spells of the same attribute, and his power will be greatly enhanced.

If you release spells with other attributes, you will feel a little sluggish and the power will be smaller.

For example, the wood winding technique or the earth stabbing technique is not impossible to release, but it is less powerful and not as powerful as those who practice wood or earth attributes.

"The other thing is the spiritual consciousness. In the past, I could barely see inside. Now my spiritual consciousness has become much stronger. Although it still cannot be released outside the body, my spiritual consciousness has indeed become much stronger, and my perception has become sharper."

Li Qing closed his eyes, not even the slightest movement could escape his perception.

Of course, this is not only the reason why his spiritual consciousness has grown stronger, but his status as a martial arts master has also provided a lot of help. His powerful physical body has improved his five senses a lot.

"Yes, now I can be considered a serious immortal cultivator, and I can barely gain a foothold in the world of immortality."

Li Qing's tone was very satisfied. It has been almost a year since he entered the Liu family, and he has been promoted from the second level to the fourth level in the Qi refining period. This is a qualitative leap!

Thinking back to the goals I set for myself some time ago, I have already accomplished a lot.

Short-term goal: accumulate spirit stones and improve the art of refining!

Now he has accumulated nearly two thousand spirit stones, which can barely refine low-grade magic tools, which is considered completed.

Medium-term goal: break through the middle stage of Qi Refining and find time to go to Tianhe Market!

The former has just been achieved, and Li Qing is still working hard on the latter.

It is definitely not okay to go to the market alone without knowing anything.

During this period, Li Qing has been making friends with other casual cultivators, not for anything else, but to inquire about some of the conditions in Tianhe Market.

You know, in addition to spirit farmers and spirit miners, there are some other tasks in the Liu family, such as helping to escort the Liu family's goods to Tianhe Market for sale.

Such casual cultivators who help escort goods have always been Li Qing's recent target of making friends.

"Because you can travel to the polar night world, the income of the spiritual miner is still quite good. In the short term, if there is no other reason, there is definitely no need to stop doing it."

"We have to continue to take advantage of the spiritual stone veins. If we miss this opportunity, we may not be able to get this store again."

"In addition, the trade fair held every six months is also worth participating. With my current strength, I am qualified to go to the trade fair to buy some elixirs."

"Finally, in terms of knowledge, I heard that the Liu family has a Sutra Pavilion. The inner layer is not open to the public, but the outer layer has a chance to go in and take a look."

"If possible, I have to find an opportunity to borrow a few encyclopedia books, such as the spiritual material encyclopedia for refining weapons, or the monster atlas, spiritual medicine collection and other books."

Just when Li Qing was thinking about it, there was suddenly some movement outside the yard.

Dongdongdong!

"Is Li Qing there?"

Hearing this movement, he was slightly startled and walked out of the yard with a puzzled look on his face.

Jinchuan stood outside the yard with a serious face, and it seemed that something bad had happened.

Li Qing saw this, and his heart couldn't help but slightly tremble, thinking that his secret collection of spiritual stones might have been discovered.

Soon, he suppressed this thought.

He was very cautious in doing this kind of thing, leaving no traces, and even took away some of the extra gravel and soil and threw it into the polar night world.

And it has been a year, if it is really discovered, it would have been discovered long ago, there is no need to scare yourself.

"What's wrong, Jinchuan?" Li Qing asked vigilantly.

"Alas, something big happened, old man Zhou is dead!" Jinchuan sighed.

As soon as these words came out, Li Qing was stunned in place for a moment, and after a long time, he slowly came back to his senses.

Old man Zhou is dead? !

After digesting these words, Li Qing opened his mouth belatedly and said:

"How could this happen? Logically speaking, when he went to fight the Eagle Bandits, the Liu family also sent a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining. Even if he failed, he would not die!"

Speaking of which, in the past six months, his life was very busy and fulfilling, and he hardly thought of Old Man Zhou.

Only when he was drinking spirit wine alone in the night, would he think of such an old senior with a strange temper but a good heart.

When he first entered the Liu family, he was a young man who knew nothing. It was Old Man Zhou who taught him many things and helped him get through this period of being a rookie in the world of immortal cultivation.

Now that he heard the news of Old Man Zhou's death, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and the joy of his successful breakthrough was diluted a lot.

Originally, he wanted to wait for Old Man Zhou to come back, and then show off his successful breakthrough in front of him.

All of a sudden, Li Qing's mood became empty.

Jin Chuan shook his head and said, "This is true. An accident occurred during the expedition, and the second cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining was born among the Flying Eagle Bandits. His strength is also quite impressive."

"By the way, before Old Man Zhou died, he left a will that was related to you."

Li Qing was startled, and then asked, "What will?"
