Fairy Luxurious Colors had no idea who was trying to harm her.

The only thing we know is that chance encounter in the dragonfly's nest that day.

However, she could not possibly know who was surrounded by water lice at that time.

It wasn't that the dragon louse could conceal divine sense, but rather that Li Jieqing used a different appearance to seize the treasure right under the noses of the Seven Immortals, making it impossible for Fairy Shecai to recognize him.

"If Fairy Shecai's purpose in infiltrating Xiaoxin Island was merely for that third-tier demon beast egg, it seems rather unlikely."

"How could Fairy Shecai know about something that was naturally created and discovered by the Seven Immortals by chance? Does she also possess the methods of a True Lord, substituting her own heart for the will of Heaven?"

"If Fairy Luxurious Colors dares to show herself again, she probably has another purpose."

"As for whether this purpose has anything to do with Luqiu..."

Li Jieqing raised his hand and put the Thousand Illusions Mask on his face. The porcelain-white mask blended in, and his skin and flesh changed, transforming into Luqiu's facial features.

More than twenty years have passed, and these facial features should have aged a bit.

And a few strands of silver should also appear in the hair.

Li Jieqing used a bronze mirror to adjust his appearance, and then retrieved Luqiu's belongings from his storage bracelet.

Before long, a middle-aged version of Luqiu appeared, fully armored, with a steel spear stuck beside him and a Ruyi Golden Sword lying across his lap.

More than 20 years have passed, and we have weathered many storms.

Even though cultivators may not show wrinkles on their faces, the signs of aging are hard to conceal.

The yellow worm peeked over, sniffed the scent, and then turned its head away; it was already used to it.

"His appearance is almost there, and he also possesses Luqiu's magical power. While it is fierce, it seems to conceal a few wisps of yin energy, which is probably because he learned the Blood Sacrifice Mind Technique from his master, the One-Horned Taoist, back then."

Li Jieqing checked himself against the bronze mirror and carefully adjusted his magical power.

This is the function of the top-grade magic artifact, the Thousand Transformations Mask. It can not only change one's appearance, but also alter one's outward magic power. Whether it's changing the aura of magic power, bluffing to raise one's magic power level, or feigning weakness to disguise oneself as a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining, it can do it all.

Now, after Li Jieqing has been raising the Thousand Illusions Mask day and night for over thirty years, by ordinary standards, the third generation has already appeared, and the effect is even more powerful than expected.

The ever-changing appearance could at most conceal its magical power to the first level of Qi.

Even if Li Jieqing didn't use that black jade hairpin, he could still completely conceal his aura with his Thousand Illusions and Hundred Changes Face alone, making him appear like an ordinary person.

In other words, the Ruyi Golden Sword was found later. Li Jieqing had been raising the Qingshui Sword for so long and did not intend to give up halfway. Otherwise, he would really like to try raising two of the three top-grade magic weapons in Taipingfang Market back then.

Now the Ruyi Golden Sword can only be displayed on my lap as a decoration.

"I deduced the truth that Fairy Shecai was not dead from Luqiu. Apart from that, in the vast Seven True Immortals City, before I used Chengwu to deliver the message, no one had discovered that Fairy Shecai was still alive."

"The relationship between Fairy Shecai and Luqiu is definitely not shallow."

"They even gave them a top-grade magic weapon like the Ruyi Golden Sword. These two must be lovers or enemies."

"Let's just see how things go..."

Li Jieqing stood up, holding a steel gun, and casually swung it a few times, the sound of it cutting through the air whistling through the air.

Although he doesn't know how to use a gun, he has taken a lot of Heart-Nourishing Pills and is very strong, so showing off his skills as a close-combat cultivator won't be a problem.

If Fairy Shecai doesn't come, fine. But if she does, just use Luqiu's face to greet her and fool her for a while.

Back then, a golden sword that seemed to grant him good fortune really gave him a fright.

If I have the chance, I'd like to see what the relationship is between Luqiu and Fairy Shecai.

……

……

Spring goes and autumn comes, time flies.

Li Jieqing waited in suspense for a year, but did not notice that Fairy Shecai had appeared.

Although there were many thoughts, such as whether Fairy Shecai had been killed by one of the Seven True Ones, they were simply keeping it a secret from each other.

Or perhaps Fairy Shecai ran into the deep sea. Although she was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she was unlucky enough to be eaten by a passing great demon or demon king.

These random thoughts would pop up from time to time, but they weren't enough to keep Li Jieqing perplexed.

He had made some preparations. If Fairy Shecai came, so be it; if not, he would stay peacefully on Blood Bamboo Island, continuing to absorb blood essence while studying alchemy and waiting for the opportunity to establish his foundation.

"The Foundation Establishment Pill is a second-tier pill. True fire is the best choice for refining pills. According to the annotation of the pill formula by Fairy Shecai, the disciples of the Fire-Subduing True Lord of the East Sea took one Heavenly Flame Fiend and one Forest Wood Fiend to refine a True Fire Divine Power, which greatly helps in refining pills. Besides the Foundation Establishment True Fire, earth fire can also be used for refining pills. The quality is determined by the stability of the color. Next is the ordinary fire magic secret technique, which is summoned by magic power. It is difficult to judge the quality of these. They can only be considered inferior when used for refining pills."

Further on, Li Jieqing kept muttering to himself, flipping through the Foundation Establishment Pill formula and the alchemy techniques that the Blood Slave had collected over the past few days, but he still couldn't find the location for using spirit charcoal to refine pills.

hateful.

You look down on spirit charcoal, don't you?

Li Jieqing's eyes ached from looking at the alchemy techniques, so he covered his face with the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill and lay back down.

Outside the medicinal garden, where the elixir formula couldn't cover, blood bamboo stalks had already been transplanted and were being ripened by the Ruyi Qinglian.

There are many obstacles to refining second-tier pills with a Qi-refining body, but they are not insurmountable.

If ordinary blood bamboo spirit charcoal can't be refined, then use hundred-year-old blood bamboo; if hundred-year-old blood bamboo can't be refined, then use two-hundred-year-old, three-hundred-year-old...

Compared to the spirit charcoal, Li Jieqing was more worried about his alchemy skills.

To date, I have never refined a top-grade pill, let alone a second-grade one.

I took a short nap.

Li Jieqing got up and set up the alchemy furnace in the courtyard.

Top-grade elixirs are extremely rare, just like top-grade magical artifacts; there's no need to waste any more time on them.

Recently, he obtained another second-tier pill formula from the blood slaves of the Seven True Immortal City. It is a pill used to enhance the mana of the Foundation Establishment stage, called the "Jade Toad Pill". The main ingredients are Vermilion Fruit that is over three hundred years old and Ginseng that is over eight hundred years old. The auxiliary ingredients include Pure Spirit Fruit that is two hundred years old, Jade Ginseng that is two hundred years old, Large Leaf Lingzhi that is three hundred years old, and Coptis chinensis that is two hundred and fifty years old.

Although not as complex as the Foundation Building Pill, the main ingredients and other medicines still number around seventy.

"I have Vermilion Fruit, Ginseng, Large-leaf Lingzhi, and Coptis chinensis Essence, all with potent medicinal effects. I also bought several portions of Pure Spirit Fruit and Jade Ginseng through Blood Slave. Without further ado, let me refine a batch!"

Li Jieqing straightened the alchemy furnace, threw a fire-removing talisman at the bottom of the furnace, lit the spirit charcoal, and heated up the furnace.

After the establishment of the Seven Immortal Cities, the resources of Xiaoxin Island did indeed improve. Although the formula for Foundation Establishment Pills was not widely circulated, it was not difficult for some disciples of the Seven Immortal Cities to obtain ordinary second-tier pill formulas.

Furthermore, rare medicinal herbs such as Qingling Fruit and Chongyu Ginseng, which were previously unheard of in Taipingfang Market, have also appeared on the market.

Li Jieqing left the seeds and planted them in the medicinal herb garden.

The medicinal herb itself was calculated to be just enough to refine four Jade Toad Pills.
