Chapter 446 Soul Devouring

The spread of his reputation was faster than he thought.

This was due to the Demon Devourer Boy.

Now, in the Ming Dynasty's immortal cultivation world, apart from the fact that he had the strength comparable to that of a peak Jindan cultivator in the middle Jindan stage, the most widely spread and famous thing was that he was a good friend of the Demon Devourer Boy in the Fallen Demon Valley.

The Demon Devourer Boy didn't have many friends.

Especially after Jindan, he made even fewer friends.

There was a benefit after becoming famous. When the Li family cultivators went out to practice, if they encountered danger, they would have a chance to escape from danger after reporting their names and family.

Lu Shangqing stayed in Changqing Mountain for most of the day and talked a lot with Li Qianqing. Although he was the one who talked most of the time, he left with satisfaction.

After Lu Shangqing left, Li Qianqing returned to his cave to continue practicing, striving to enter the late Jindan stage as soon as possible.

The greater the reputation, the higher the corresponding strength required. Although Li Qianqing had met the requirements, it was still far from enough for him.

…

February of the 25th year of the Qingli calendar.

Changming Mountain, in the cave with the most abundant spiritual energy.

At this moment, Li Xunming has just cultivated to the peak of the early stage of the Jindan.

After returning from the last trip to Fanyang Country, Thirteenth Grandfather asked him to seize the time to improve his strength and prepare for the Cangyun Realm.

Cultivating and breaking through to the middle stage of the Jindan is only the first preparation stage for Li Xunming. If the breakthrough fails later, he thinks he should not go to the Cangyun Realm.

"It is much easier to break through from the peak of the early stage of the Jindan to the middle stage of the Jindan than from the peak of the middle stage of the Jindan to the late stage of the Jindan..."

Just after cultivating to the peak of the early stage of the Jindan, Li Xunming wanted to break through directly to the middle stage of the Jindan.

If he had not obtained the Cangyun Order and Thirteenth Grandfather's instructions, he should not have cultivated to the peak of the early stage of the Jindan at this time. He has used a lot of resources in these years of cultivation. Fortunately, he has enough contribution points to exchange for enough resources in the family clan library.

Compared with the previous thirty years, the resources for the cultivation of Jindan cultivators in the family clan library are now 80% cheaper.

The contribution points that the family's Jindan cultivators can get every year are many, which can fully support their daily ordinary cultivation.

The cultivation method he has been practicing for these years requires more resources to support.

"Break through!"

After making up his mind, Li Xunming modified the sign outside the cave and began to break through officially.

As long as he completes the breakthrough, there will be two Jindan middle-stage cultivators in the family.

Normally, it takes about one to two months to break through from the peak of the early Jindan to the middle Jindan.

In this way, Li Xunming's retreat lasted for 35 days.

In late March, the time came to the end of spring.

"Success!" Li Xunming's aura also changed at this time. This time, the process of breaking through from the peak of the early Jindan to the middle Jindan was very smooth.

After entering the middle Jindan, Li Xunming first told Li Qianqing the news.

In the next thirty years, he needs to spend a lot of time learning and practicing, and strive to have a very obvious improvement in strength before entering the Cangyun Realm.

Some powerful secrets in the family require the middle stage of Jindan to practice. Now he has finally reached the standard and contributed to the filling of the family library. He often goes out to practice and has contributed a lot, but so far he has not contributed any secrets.

These are all from Grandpa Thirteen.

And many of his contributions are concentrated in the foundation-building stage. The spiritual skills and secrets of the Jindan stage are mostly from his Grandpa Thirteen.

Compared with this opportunity, Li Xunming is ashamed of himself. As time goes by, he can understand the reason why Grandpa Thirteen is so powerful.

"Cangyun Realm... I hope you won't let me down."

If there is no Cangyun Realm, after practicing and breaking through to the middle stage of Jindan, he must go out to practice well.

Because of the Cangyun Realm, many of his plans to go out were cancelled, just to wait for this.

After the excitement, Li Xunming took out a blue-gray jade slip, placed it on his forehead, and absorbed the content inside.

…

The top of Changqing Mountain

Li Qianqing sat on the stone bench and sipped the spiritual tea. At this moment, a sound transmission note from Li Xunming appeared in front of him.

"Oh, the middle stage of Jindan."

Li Qianqing was a little surprised that Li Xunming had entered the middle stage of Jindan at this time. He remembered that Li Xunming had not yet cultivated to the peak of the early stage of Jindan two months ago, and that time was almost here.

Breaking through to the middle stage of Jindan now means that Li Xunming started to break through directly when he cultivated to the peak of the early stage of Jindan.

Many peak cultivators of the early stage of Jindan would make more preparations at this time so that they would have a greater chance of breaking through successfully at one time.

Li Qianqing wanted to say something, but after thinking about his own behavior, he did not intend to preach to Li Xunming.

Because he did it himself.

If he continued to preach without doing it, it would be too easy for the other party to refute.

Of course, Li Qianqing also knew that even if they had the opportunity to refute his preaching, they would generally not continue to refute, but listen quietly.

The prestige he has established in the family over the years is too high.

"Jiji."

As the sound came, a black shadow appeared on Li Qianqing's shoulder.

This mutant gold-eating rat followed Li Qianqing after Li Xingsheng passed away. There was no contract between Li Xingsheng and Shushu, and Li Xingsheng gave Shushu the choice of who to follow.

Li Qianqing took out a spiritual stone and gave it to Shushu on his shoulder.

After the mutation, the life span of this gold-eating rat is much longer than that of many second-level monsters of rat species, but it has an end after all. Judging from the life breath of the mutated gold-eating rat, Li Qianqing speculated that Shushu would not have many years left.

Now, in addition to the mutated gold-eating rat, the only monster in the family is the flame turtle Changming, who has no contract.

If this flame turtle had not broken through to the third level before, it would have been transferred to Li Changlin for further training, but after the third level, its spiritual intelligence is no different from that of ordinary cultivators and it is no longer needed.

Whether it is Li Xingsheng's kindness or Changqing Mountain, where there is food and drink, these are not the reasons why the flame turtle Changming can choose to leave.

Now, even without the constraints of the contract, the flame turtle Changming is still a monster of the Li family.

"Go and play."

"Jiji."

For some years, Li Qianqing did not intend to let the mutated gold-eating rat continue to explore the spiritual mines. In addition to the fact that their Li family now has a lot of spiritual mines, the more important reason is that Li Qianqing wants this hero to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

September of the same year.

It was the day for the Li family to test their spiritual roots once a year.

Now, the Li family has many children who need to test their spiritual roots every year. At this time of year, more cultivators are needed to conduct spiritual root testing.

Now, not only in Xiangshui County, but also in other counties, there are also mortal members of the Li family. However, there are not many mortal members of the Li family in other counties at present, and most of them are concentrated in Xiangshui County.

As the royal family of Qing Kingdom, the Li family has produced no less than 20 cultivators every year in recent years, among which there are almost always foundation-building cultivators with double spiritual roots every year.

Anren City.

As the Li family became the royal family, the original Anren County gradually developed into a big city, and now it is Anren City.

Originally, Anren County was the center of the current Anren City.

At this moment, the mortal children of the Li family aged nine to eleven in Anren City are lining up for spiritual root testing.

The cultivators of the Li family Zhong generation who were responsible for the first round of testing were all in charge.

"Next." So far, Li Zhongxing has roughly checked nearly 300 children, four of whom passed his first round of tests, but none of them had spiritual roots in the second round of tests.

"Li Yongfeng, put your right hand here."

The nine-year-old Li Yongfeng nodded his little head and did as he was told. He knew that these were all immortals in the family, and after passing two rounds of tests, he could also become an immortal.

The test officially began.

Li Zhongxing's spiritual power began to travel through Li Yongfeng's body.

He was about to say something, but his eyes widened immediately, looking at Li Yongfeng in disbelief.

Originally, he wanted Li Yongfeng to leave and let the next child to be tested come in, but when he was about to withdraw his spiritual power, he found that his recovered spiritual power was half less.

He was at the sixth level of Qi Refining. If he only lost a little spiritual power, he might not be sensitive, but if he lost half of his spiritual power, as long as he was not too careless, he would be able to find the abnormality.

"Brother Zhongxing, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, you test first." Li Zhongxing pulled Li Yongfeng up, "Come with me."

Li Yongfeng nodded, and was pulled to the next room by Li Zhongxing.

Li Qinghong was sitting in the room.

Li Qinghong, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, was responsible for the second round of spiritual root tests. So far, no cultivator with spiritual roots had been tested.

"Zhongxing, how did you get in? What happened?"

"Aunt Qinghong, please test him."

"What's so special about him?" Li Qinghong asked. It would be enough to let these children in directly after they passed the first round of tests. Li Zhongxing didn't need to bring them in personally.

"Let me tell you, when I tested him just now, I only recovered 95% of his spiritual power, and the other half of his spiritual power seemed to disappear out of thin air."

"What!"

Li Qinghong looked at Li Yongfeng next to Li Zhongxing in surprise. She had lived for nearly 60 years and had been involved in the affairs of testing spiritual roots for more than 30 years. This was the first time she heard of such a situation.

She had to verify it first.

"Yongfeng, right? Come here and give me your hand."

"Yes." Li Yongfeng, who sensed that something big was going to happen, felt that he was very special at this moment and might become an immortal directly.

Li Qinghong tested Li Yongfeng for three times the time of other cultivators. Judging from the test, Li Yongfeng definitely did not have spiritual roots.

According to Li Zhongxing, the most important step was to take back the spiritual power wandering in Li Yongfeng's physical strength at that moment.

"It really is!"

When Li Qinghou recovered her spiritual power, she also realized that her spiritual power was less, but the spiritual power she lost was far less than half.

She guessed that it was because she was at the ninth level of Qi Refining and Li Zhongxing was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"The spiritual power should have been absorbed by this little guy." Based on her experience of living for nearly sixty years, Li Qinghong, who made this guess, felt that her guess was probably correct.

"Aunt Qinghong, what should we do now?"

"What else can we do? Of course, we should inform the ancestor of this special situation."

"Now?"

"Go out and continue the test first, and wait until all the children in Anren City have been tested."

"Yes."

After hearing this, Li Zhongxing quickly went out to continue the test.

The Li family is no longer the same as before. It is said that in Xiangshui County, even in the entire Qing Kingdom, no cultivator would think of intercepting their carriages that transport spiritual root children. This situation happened hundreds of years ago.

Therefore, there is no need to rush when such a situation occurs. After testing all the children aged nine to eleven in Anren City, Li Qinghong will take Li Yongfeng to the ancestral land of the family to find the clan leader Li Qianqing.

"Yongfeng, wait here first."

"Okay."

It was almost dusk.

Li Qinghong took the two children back to Changqing Mountain. In addition to the fact that Li Yongfeng could not test the reason, the other family child was a cultivator with three spiritual roots.

After settling the other family child, Li Qinghong took Li Yongfeng to the clan leader's cave.

After knocking on the stone door of the cave, the stone door slowly opened upwards.

"Clan leader." Li Qinghong shouted immediately after seeing Li Qianqing in person.

"Clan leader."

Li Yongfeng saw this and spoke after Aunt Qinghong.

All the way here by carriage, Li Qinghong taught Li Yongfeng some things, and Li Yongfeng is currently doing it.

"Tell me about the situation." Li Qianqing saw this and spoke directly.

"Yes, clan leader." Li Qinghong nodded, and quickly told the reason for looking for Li Qianqing, "When testing the spiritual roots in Anren City..."

Li Qinghong mainly talked about the course of events, focusing on the testing of the spiritual roots, and his guess that their spiritual power was absorbed by Li Yongfeng when testing the spiritual roots.

"Oh."

Li Qianqing looked at Li Yongfeng and had some ideas in his mind.

He had to test it carefully to know the specific situation.

"Yongfeng, come to my side."

"Yes, clan leader."

Li Yongfeng glanced at Li Qinghong, and when Li Qinghong nodded, he immediately came to Li Qianqing's side.

After a careful test of about three breaths.

Li Qianqing already understood.

Li Yongfeng is really a soul-devouring body!

After listening to Li Qinghong's explanation, Li Qianqing had four guesses in his mind, among which Li Yongfeng was most likely to be a soul-devouring body. After this test, it was true that the Devouring Demon Boy was also a cultivator with a special constitution, a soul-devouring body.

In addition, with some means, he also tested Li Yongfeng's spiritual roots.

Water and fire dual spiritual roots!

With dual spiritual roots and a soul-devouring body, Li Yongfeng will automatically become a Dan-forming seed in the family after successfully building his foundation.

"I already know the situation. Yongfeng is a dual spiritual root cultivator with a special physique. You take him down first." Li Qianqing said to Li Qinghong.

"Yes."

As expected, it still depends on the ancestor. It was tested as soon as it was tested. As for what special physique Li Yongfeng has, the ancestor did not say, and Li Qinghong did not ask. She didn't even understand this. Even if the ancestor said something special, she might not understand it.

'Demon Devouring Boy...'

Li Qianqing thought about it and quickly took out a sound transmission talisman.

He decided to contact the Demon Devouring Boy. After this sound transmission talisman was sent, as long as the Demon Devouring Boy was not in seclusion, he would definitely appear in front of him at the fastest speed. (End of this chapter)
