Chapter 234: Ascension Conference (Part 2)

As the Ascension Conference was about to be held, Li Qing had a bad feeling in his heart.

Based on his experience of two lives, this Ascension Conference might not be so peaceful.

Li Qing closed his eyes, and the major events in the cultivation world in recent years emerged in his mind, trying to connect them together.

The Demon Eagle Guest achieved the foundation, the Lingmiao Cave Mansion was born, the Tianhe Sect mine was robbed, the Ascension Conference was delayed, and the Heavenly Spirit Root was exposed.

These events were very complicated and chaotic. No matter how you look at them, there seemed to be no connection. Although the sensation caused was great, it seemed normal.

Li Qing, who was confused, had a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead.

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with too many clues. Finally, Li Qing stood up and made a decision.

Run away!

"Well, although this Ascension Conference is grand and solemn, it has nothing to do with me."

"Watching those casual cultivators spend spirit stones to join the Tianhe Sect's fight, it's better to find a place to retreat and practice."

"Although the spiritual energy in the secret realm is not rich enough, it is hidden and a good place to retreat and practice."

Li Qing said to himself in his heart, and then decided to act according to his thoughts.

Afterwards, he resisted the trend of rising prices and bought a lot of Peiyuan Pills and Guangling Pills, spending a full 800 spirit stones.

With the remaining pills on hand, it is enough for him to practice for a long time.

In addition, he searched in the market for a long time, and finally harvested another incomplete refining inheritance, which will increase his spiritual pattern reserves.

After doing all this, Li Qing left Tianhe Market without stopping, and he was too lazy to return the spirit stones left in the inn for several days.

In front of the suspended island in and out of the market, a familiar figure caught Li Qing's attention.

This is a tall young man with handsome features. He has an exquisite flying sword hanging from his waist. You can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary one.

Shi Nantian!

Why did this kid come so late? Tomorrow is the day of the Ascension Conference. Shouldn't he come earlier to get information about his competitors?

Li Qing muttered in his heart and prepared to go up and say hello. After all, they are acquaintances. It is not good to pretend that they don't know each other when they meet.

"Hehe, Shi."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qing's body froze in place.

Shi Nantian didn't pay any attention to him at all, as if he didn't know Li Qing, and just walked away indifferently.

Li Qing, who had just raised his hand, had to put it down awkwardly, and then touched his chin in surprise.

"How come this kid has become a different person, so cold and indifferent."

Li Qing couldn't help but recall the previous times he had dealt with him. Although Shi Nantian came from a prestigious immortal cultivation family, he was not arrogant at all. Instead, he was quite easy-going, a sincere boy.

"Could it be that he was influenced by his uncle?!" Li Qing, who was a little suspicious, didn't want to continue to speculate, and just wanted to leave here quickly.

Because people around had noticed the scene just now, they couldn't help but sneer.

"Haha, look at that kid, he's trying to get close to the young master of the Shi family, but he ignored him."

"That's normal. After all, Shi Nantian is a strong contender for this Ascension Conference. With his strength, he is destined to win the top ten and then achieve foundation building. He definitely doesn't want to pay attention to such a passerby."

There are also some people who are straightforward and admonish Li Qing in a earnest tone:

"My fellow Taoist, you must stick to your original intention on the road of cultivation. It's not okay to blindly curry favor with the powerful."

"Well, you're right. It's useless to just think about clinging to a big family. In the world of cultivation, everything must be fought for with your own hands."

"."

Hearing the sarcasm of the cultivators around him, Li Qing didn't want to pay any more attention to it. He just pretended to be educated and clasped his fists to the people around him.

"I've learned a lesson!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qing unexpectedly met another acquaintance in the crowd.

Liu Hanyue!

Obviously, the scene of Li Qing greeting Shi Nantian just now also fell into her eyes.

Liu Hanyue, who was wearing a plain dress, looked at Li Qing with a strange look in her eyes. Obviously, she also recognized this casual cultivator who used to work as a helper in the Liu family. The two had met once before.

But soon Liu Hanyue withdrew her gaze and walked into the Tianhe Market with light steps, not wanting to pay attention to him.

Her slender figure attracted the attention of many people.

Li Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this. Without saying anything, he left the Tianhe Market in disgrace.

On the first day after leaving the Tianhe Market, the Ascension Conference was held as scheduled.

As expected by no one, on the first day, Shi Nantian swept the opponent with thunderous means and won the victory neatly.

The four words "well-deserved reputation" are the most appropriate to describe him!

I think in the next few days, most people will choose to surrender without a fight when facing Shi Nantian.

In addition, there are several well-known independent cultivators who have shown their style here and entered the sight of Tianhe Sect.

For example, Xiao Wuya, who was born as an independent cultivator, faced a cultivator who was also in the late stage of Qi Refining on the first day. He killed the opponent on the spot, coldly and bloody.

Huo Lingyu is good at using illusions. Her opponent didn't even know when she was under an illusion. After going on stage, she did many embarrassing behaviors. After the end, her Tao heart was almost broken.

There are dark horses, of course. Jiuxiao, who was not well-known before, finally showed his dazzling brilliance at the Ascension Conference, causing a great sensation.

But all of the above has nothing to do with Li Qing.

After leaving Tianhefang City, Li Qing did not stop and walked forward in the mountains and forests.

"Why not release the strange beasts from the Polar Night World now? It just happens to be the Ascension Conference. The traffic in this area will be very high recently!"

Li Qing, who had such an idea in his heart, first checked Ye Feng's status. After confirming that his residual soul was still in a dormant state, Li Qing began to act.

The two strange beasts captured from the Polar Night World were all collected by him in the beast bag.

After so long, Li Qing finally released the two strange beasts and let them see the light of day again.

Li Qing patted the beast bag, and a flash of light flashed. Two strange beasts with extremely strange shapes that made people shudder appeared out of thin air in the lush forest leaves.

"Roar!"

The two-horned giant lizard, covered with red hair, roared immediately after seeing the light of day again.

Another headless black ape was also constantly beating its chest, and the centipede tentacles on its body were touching it, looking extremely ferocious.

Both beasts were very violent, as if they were born for madness and killing.

After releasing them, Li Qing did not dare to stay for long and prepared to leave here quickly.

However, the next moment, a sudden change occurred!

Boom!

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly became agitated, and gathered towards the place where the two beasts were at a magnitude that ordinary people could not imagine.

"Is it going to evolve?!"

Li Qing, who noticed the abnormality of the spiritual energy, was immediately shocked, and then stopped and wanted to observe it.

"No, after absorbing spiritual energy, the beasts will definitely become more difficult to deal with. If you rush over like this, you may encounter some danger."

"And the movement of these two beasts absorbing spiritual energy is too exaggerated. It will definitely attract other cultivators."

After the voice fell, Li Qing's eyes lit up, and then he took out a piece of jade ruyi from the storage bag.

Buzz!

With the help of the jade ruyi, he directly restrained his own breath, and then hid in the lush forest, preparing to carefully observe what kind of changes these two beasts would produce.

The gathering of spiritual energy continued. The two beasts that absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth expanded several times again, and their momentum became more and more ferocious.

However, the evil spirit on them was still strong, and the deformation of their bodies was not offset. On the contrary, because of the increase in size, these deformations looked more shocking.

Especially the red horn, its horn that was originally broken by Li Qing, now grew out again and became more ferocious.

The red hair on its body was so dense that it looked like a red carpet covering it.

After a long time, there were suddenly several sounds of breaking air in the sky.

Li Qing, who noticed the movement, was startled. For safety, he immediately took out a breath-suppressing talisman and slapped it on himself.
