Chapter 481 Conflict
"Yes. There is a difference between immortals and mortals. Once a person cultivates to become an earthly immortal, not only will the mana in his body be transformed into immortal power and become more pure, but his physical body will also be as if it has been cleansed, with many acquired impurities and dirt removed.
At this time, the earthly immortals have very high requirements for the food they eat to improve their cultivation, as well as the cultivation environment. If the food has too much acquired residue, even if the earthly immortals can absorb the immortal energy in it by eating, but too much acquired residue will pollute our immortal infant and body, making the immortal power impure and the physical body weak.
The same is true for the environment of cultivation. If there is too much turbid air, it will be difficult to improve your cultivation level even if you practice meditation and breathing every day. Sometimes, you may even regress instead of improving. Therefore, when you reach the realm of earthly immortals, you not only need to find a place full of immortal spirits as a cave for cultivation, but it is also best to take immortal pills every now and then.
There are many kinds of immortal pills, some are used to comprehend the way of heaven, some are used to break bottlenecks and improve cultivation. Eating too much of these two kinds is useless. The "infant-raising immortal pill" is an immortal pill that refines most of the dregs and retains pure energy. It is mainly used to increase immortal power. As long as it can be absorbed and refined, there is no such thing as drug resistance. "
After some conversation, Qu Zhong already knew that although Qin Ziling was very powerful, he came from a remote place and didn't know a lot of common sense, so he explained it to him.
After hearing Qu Zhong's explanation, Qin Ziling suddenly understood and was very happy.
Other late Jindan cultivators, not to mention that they can hardly afford the "Infant-Nourishing Immortal Pill", even if they have a strong family background and can afford it, it would probably take a long time to refine and absorb one "Infant-Nourishing Immortal Pill" and cannot take it frequently, otherwise they would be "too weak to be nourished".
But he is different.
He has six golden elixirs, and of course he is also a human immortal with an extremely powerful body, so there is definitely no problem of "being too weak to be nourished".
Moreover, he has no shortage of "baby-raising elixirs" on hand.
"So that's how it is. Thank you for your advice." Qin Ziling bowed.
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it!" Qu Zhong quickly returned the greeting.
"You have been fleeing all the way with Chang Feng and have experienced fierce battles. You must be extremely tired now. I will ask you other things later. You should recuperate here first." Qin Ziling said.
"That's fine." Qu Zhong nodded, took out a low-grade immortal stone, closed his eyes and practiced his skills.
Lian Changfeng bowed to Qin Ziling and said, "Master, if you have nothing else to tell me, I will practice now."
"You should practice too!" Qin Ziling touched Lian Changfeng's head, with a hint of approval and heartache in his eyes.
After all, he is only nine years old.
"Yes, Master!" Lian Changfeng responded respectfully, then took out a top-grade magic crystal stone, sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and practiced the magic.
Qin Ziling thought about it after seeing this, and then waved his hand. Mist appeared around him and enveloped him completely.
Afterwards, Qin Ziling took out the "Infant-Nourishing Immortal Pill", looked at it, and casually threw one into his throat.
When the "Infant-Nourishing Immortal Pill" enters the throat, it turns into a torrent of pure energy, most of which rushes into the meridians, flows into the Dantian through circulation, and a part of it is integrated into the internal organs, muscles, tendons, bones and skin, nourishing the body.
Inside the Dantian, six golden pills are slowly rotating.
In the five golden elixirs on the periphery, one could vaguely see a fetus-like object curled up inside, and in the middle golden elixir that was a blend of black and white, one could faintly see two fetuses curled up inside.
This fetus is indeed a fairy fetus.
The magic power in the Dantian is refined through the circulation of the golden elixir, and gradually turns into traces of immortal power that are input into the immortal fetus, becoming nutrition for the growth of the immortal fetus.
However, the immortal power was so little that the immortal fetus in the Dantian showed almost no changes and could only maintain its current state.
At this moment, the immortal energy flowed into the dantian.
The six golden pills in the dantian suddenly began to spin rapidly, as if a long drought finally gave way to a downpour, quickly absorbing the immortal energy and converting it into immortal power to input into the immortal fetus, which was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The six golden elixirs rotate together, the five elements are interdependent, yin and yang blend together, and the speed of absorbing and refining the immortal energy is far more than the sum of the six golden elixirs.
It's like when Qin Ziling's six golden cores work together, the combat power that erupts is far beyond what the combined power of six golden core cultivators can achieve.
Soon, the power of one "Infant-Nourishing Immortal Pill" was completely absorbed and refined by Qin Ziling's six golden pills.
"Good, good! It turns out that practicing still requires financial and material resources. Otherwise, if you practice step by step, it will take a long time to cultivate to the level of an immortal infant!" Qin Ziling saw that after taking a "Infant-Nourishing Immortal Pill", the immortal fetuses in the six golden pills grew noticeably bigger. With a little movement, the power of the pill surged in his body, and his body also became stronger. He couldn't help but be very happy.
Then, Qin Ziling quickly took out three "Infant-Nourishing Magic Pills" and threw them into his throat.
Fortunately, Qin Ziling used his magical power to cover himself with clouds and mist, so Qu Zhong could not find him. Otherwise, he would be dumbfounded to see a Jindan cultivator first take one "Infant-Nourishing Immortal Pill" in a short period of time and then take three at once.
This "baby-nourishing elixir" would take him a day or two to refine before he could truly absorb it.
For a late Jindan cultivator, it is normal to take half a month to a month to refine a pill. Even a late Jindan cultivator with a weaker foundation has to worry about the pill's power being too strong, otherwise it may damage the meridians if it is not controlled well.
As a result, Qin Ziling now threw three into his throat at a time.
Moreover, one "Infant-Nourishing Immortal Pill" costs ten low-grade immortal stones. Considering Qu Zhong's cultivation and status , it would be considered good if he could eat three or five pills a year. However, Qin Ziling ate four pills in a row in less than an incense stick of time, which was almost his annual share.
It is conceivable that if Qu Zhong saw this, he would be dumbfounded!
Four days later.
Qin Ziling contentedly retracted the mist that was lingering and covering him.
In just four days, he consumed a total of forty "Infant-Nourishing Immortal Pills". The immortal fetus that had been "hungry" for a long time had just reached saturation temporarily within six golden pills, and it was no longer able to absorb a large amount of immortal power quickly in a short period of time.
Before, Qin Ziling had just reached the late Jindan realm, and with his solid foundation, the Jindan immortal fetus was still in a relatively "hungry" and malnourished state.
Now that he had absorbed and refined forty "Infant-Raising Immortal Pills", his cultivation level had increased significantly.
Now, relying solely on Qi training, his combat power is already very close to the late stage of Immortal Infant.
Not only that, his body also became stronger and stronger.
Qu Zhong and Lian Changfeng had stopped their practice a day ago.
Practice requires a quiet and stable environment.
The Blue Flame Eagle was flying as fast as lightning, and the sea breeze was howling. Even with the help of immortal stones and magic crystal stones, it was not suitable for them to practice on it for a long time.
The two men were obviously relieved when they saw Qin Ziling remove the clouds and mist.
"Mr. Qin, the forces of Blood Cloud Island are just a few hundred miles away from here. We'd better take a detour, otherwise we'll be in trouble if we meet people from Blood Cloud Island." Qu Zhong said.
Xueyun Island is one of the three fairy islands in Pingyu Mountain’s blessed sea area where true immortals reside.
The lord of Blood Cloud Island, Blood Cloud Patriarch, is extremely brutal and evil by nature. He has cultivated an extremely cruel and vicious magic called Blood Cloud Demon Infant, which he cultivated by using the blood of many living creatures.
Ancestor Xueyun has a high level of cultivation. On the islands and land in the millions of miles of sea, apart from the King of Fire Ape Nation, there are General Zhendong and General Zhennan. The three of them can firmly suppress him. There are only four or five others who can match him.
The Fire Ape Nation basically does not interfere in overseas affairs. No one on the sea can suppress it, so it acts recklessly on the sea, allowing its disciples to burn, kill, plunder, and do all kinds of evil.
In the waters within the influence of the Blood Cloud Island, any outsiders who enter will be killed or robbed once they are discovered.
Therefore, the waters within the Blood Cloud Island’s sphere of influence are forbidden areas for many people, and they have to avoid them as much as possible.
Qin Ziling already had some idea of the millions of miles of sea area in Pingyu Mountain Blessed Land and the powerful forces under the sea, so when he heard that the forces of Blood Cloud Island were hundreds of miles away, he was slightly surprised and nodded, "That's true."
As he spoke, Qin Ziling patted the Green Flame Eagle's head and changed direction.
However, the Blue Flame Eagle had just changed direction when the sea water below parted and two people rushed out.
Both of them are young women with rosy faces, wearing light gauze, and their graceful bodies are looming. They are both earth immortals in the early stage of immortal infants.
As soon as the two women saw Qin Ziling, their eyes lit up. Waves of fragrance drifted across the sky, blocking the way of Qin Ziling and others.
"Little brother, since you are here, come with your sister to Xiangyun Palace to have some fun." One of the women with an oval face looked at Qin Ziling with seductive eyes and said in a frivolous tone, and then she even made some coquettish gestures.
Qin Ziling looked at the two charming women who were trying to rob him halfway, and his expression was very interesting. He almost said "Take this stick from me".
He really never thought that one day he would be treated like this.
In another world, except on some special occasions, which woman would look at him more than once?
In fact, this is no wonder. Qin Ziling now has a handsome face, a tall and agile figure, and he is a practitioner of three paths. He is very powerful. Even when he does not deliberately restrain his aura, he has a charming temperament and demeanor.
"Thank you both sisters for your kindness. I am flattered. But I already have a wife, so I have to let you two beautiful sisters down." Qin Ziling quickly regained his composure and bowed to the two women, behaving like a refined and pedantic scholar.
"Your wife is not as considerate as us sisters. Just divorce her! If you can't bear to divorce her, we can help you kill her." A woman with a snake-like face said with a smile.
"You two, what you said is too much. Please move aside, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" Qin Ziling's face turned cold when he heard that.
Originally, when two beauties wanted to rape him, Qin Ziling couldn't really be tough with them. Even if they were vixens, they were also vixens with good taste.
But now that they said such words, Qin Ziling couldn't help but get angry.
"Hmph, since we sisters have taken a fancy to you, you have to stay even if you don't want to!" The woman with the snake face smiled coldly. Without her making any movement, a gust of evil wind blew up around them, and a huge green snake head appeared in the air, opening its bloody mouth and swallowing Qin Ziling.
The other woman also took action at this time. A gust of wind blew around and a huge scorpion shadow suddenly appeared in the air.
The scorpion opened its huge pincers and clamped down hard on Qu Zhong, while its tail hook swung towards Lian Changfeng.
"This witch is looking for death!" Qin Ziling's eyes were filled with murderous intent when he saw this, and he reached out his right hand towards the woman with the snake-like face.
Qin Ziling stretched out his right hand, which instantly turned into a giant claw as big as a mountain. With a "bang", it directly smashed the huge green snake's head and appeared above the snake girl in the blink of an eye.
The snake-girl never imagined that Qin Ziling, a Jindan cultivator, could be so terrifying. His killing move had the power of a late-stage earthly immortal.
"Ah!" The snake girl screamed miserably. She had no time to escape. Both her body and her immortal baby were crushed by the golden dragon's giant claws. Then, Qin Ziling used the blinding technique to suck her into the cave world.
When the snake demon girl was killed by Qin Ziling's dragon claw with just a scream, on the other side, the scorpion demon girl was suppressed by a huge mountain surrounded by wind and thunder.
The invisible pressure and the wind dragons formed by the wind entangled her, making it impossible for her to escape.
In the blink of an eye, the scorpion demon girl was also killed, and then her physical body and the immortal power transformed from the immortal baby were sucked into the cave world. However, Qin Ziling had already sacrificed the mountain seal at the same time when he used the dragon claw.
"Let's go!" After Qin Ziling killed the two evil women in a lightning speed, he immediately used his magical power of riding the clouds and mist to wrap up the three people and the eagle, and fled from the murder scene at lightning speed. He flew thousands of miles before he removed the clouds and mist and stopped.
On the back of the Green Flame Eagle, Qu Zhong stared at Qin Ziling with his eyes wide open, unable to speak for a long time, while Lian Changfeng looked at Qin Ziling with admiration.
In the battle four days ago, the fighting power displayed by Qin Ziling had already shocked Qu Zhong. Unexpectedly, this time it was even more exaggerated. He didn't even have time to open his mouth to stop him. In a flash, Qin Ziling had killed two earth immortals in the early stage of Immortal Infant.
Even if this strength cannot be compared with that of a true immortal, it is definitely powerful among the earthly immortals in the late stage of the Immortal Infant.
Qu Zhong never could have imagined that in the past four days, Qin Ziling had eaten forty "Infant-Nourishing Immortal Pills" in one breath, and his strength had increased a lot. In order to win the battle quickly, he did not hide his weaknesses and directly used both Taoism and martial arts to perform a killing move, which was equivalent to a sudden attack by two earth immortals in the late stage of infant immortality.
Those two evil women were only in the early stage of Immortal Infancy, and they were so arrogant, how could they not be killed with one strike!
"Qu Zhong, do you recognize those two evil women?" Qin Ziling asked.
"Blood Cloud Island is an immortal island inhabited by true immortals. Its power is far greater than that of Qingyun Island. Not only does it govern hundreds of islands around Blood Cloud Island, but it also has many earthly immortals under its tutelage. I don't know those two demon women, but I heard that Tu Liao, the third disciple of the Blood Cloud Patriarch, likes demon women. A few hundred miles away from that place just now is the sea area guarded by Tu Liao. Those two demon women are most likely his concubines." Qu Zhong replied.
"Since they are Tu Liao's favorite concubines, how dare they try to capture me and take me back for pleasure?" Qin Ziling frowned when he heard this.
"Blood Cloud Island is the land of the Demon Sect, and their actions are cruel and licentious. That evil woman has no sense of shame at all, so how could she care about these things!" Qu Zhong replied.
"How strong is Tu Liao?" Qin Ziling asked.
"He is an earth immortal in the late stage of Immortal Infant Realm, and should not be a match for Mr. Qin. It is said that Patriarch Xueyun has not left the mountain for a hundred years, and all the affairs outside are handled by his three most proud disciples. He must be in seclusion preparing to overcome the wind and fire calamity, and it is impossible for him to break out for such a matter. Moreover, Mr. Qin's action just now was extremely fast, and no one should suspect us, so Mr. Qin does not have to worry." Qu Zhong replied.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ziling stroked his chin and pondered in silence, his eyes flashing with thought.
He always likes to prepare for the worst when doing things.
He was not worried about Tu Liao, but he had to consider the consequences if Old Ancestor Xueyun took action.
“With my current strength, I am definitely not a match for the Blood Cloud Ancestor, but this is not the Xuanming Continent. There are many cultivation resources and opportunities here. As long as I settle down in Qingyun Fairy Island and have a buffer period of time, I should be able to break through again soon.
Once I break through, I should have the strength to fight against the True Immortal. Even if I can't win, I can always escape. Besides, I had expected to encounter danger when I came out. If I ran away when I encountered danger, how could I have the chance to practice in peace? Qi Yu and others must also practice outside to comprehend the way of heaven, and they can't stay in the cave world all the time."
After pondering for a while and taking into account the worst possible outcome of Blood Cloud Ancestor taking action, Qin Ziling realized that he was not without the ability to fight. At least he was qualified to escape, so he quickly made a decision.
"Since it has already happened, there is no point in worrying. Let's go to Qingyun Fairy Island first!" Qin Ziling said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Qu Zhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.
He was really worried that Qin Ziling would run away because of this matter.
What he didn't know was that Qin Ziling had actually taken into account the worst possible outcome of Blood Cloud Patriarch's action and that was why he decided to stay. Otherwise, Qu Zhong would have jumped up in shock.
…
Xueyun Island is one of the three islands in the million-mile sea area of Pingyu Mountain.
There are purple mists rising from many mountains on the island, and the air is filled with immortal spirits. Even the mountain gates of the eight major sects on the Xuanming Continent cannot compare with these mountains.
There are hundreds of islands scattered around Blood Cloud Island .
These islands are big and small, but without exception, the fairy spirit is much richer than that of Xuanming Continent.
Among them, there are three islands with the most intense fairy spirit, which form a triangle shape and protect the Blood Cloud Island in the middle.
Among these three islands, one is three thousand miles away from where Qin Ziling had just killed the two evil women.
There is a majestic mountain range stretching for thousands of miles in the middle of the island, and in the middle of the mountain range there is a thousand-foot-high peak reaching into the sky.
There are palaces located on top of the giant peaks.
Among them, there is a palace located on the top of the mountain, which is the most magnificent.
In the center above the palace, a man in a purple robe with a fleshy face was lying on a throne with his chest exposed. His head and feet were resting on a pair of beautiful white legs. While his pair of magic hands were grabbing around, he was squinting at the graceful woman who was dancing in the hall with a veil on her head.
"Third Elder, something bad has happened, something bad has happened!" Just as the man was watching with great interest, someone rushed in.
