Chapter 24 Return to the Outer Islands
"Dear guest, please come with me."
After a while, the boy came out and invited Li Qing inside.
The room behind the door was quite simple and elegant, with a slightly fat monk sitting in it.
"I am Huang Qi, the shopkeeper of this shop. I wonder what kind of exercises the customer wants to buy?"
As the man stood up, Li Qing discovered that the aura revealed by the shopkeeper turned out to be the strength of a monk in the foundation-building stage.
Under the bamboo hat, Li Qing looked surprised. He never expected that the shopkeeper of this family was actually a monk in the foundation building stage.
On Jumu Island, apart from Jindan Zhenren, those in the foundation building stage have the highest combat power.
"I want to buy a technique that can hide my strength."
Li Qing said with a bit of respect.
Once you become a monk in the foundation-building stage, you can be regarded as the backbone of a force no matter where you are.
Because of this, the status of monks in the foundation building stage is very different from that of Qi training.
The short difference of one step is actually a huge difference.
Countless determined Qi cultivators have been blocked from the threshold of foundation building.
After hearing Li Qing's request, Huang Qi nodded gently.
To be honest, Li Qing's strength in the middle stage of Qi training is far from qualified for him to receive him.
It's just that Li Qing's request is special. It's easy for things like skills to be leaked. Once spread, they will have no value at all.
Therefore, all the exercises are sold to customers personally by him.
"I wonder if the guests have any requirements for the grade of the exercises?" Huang Qi continued to ask gently.
"No"
"As long as it's not discovered so easily"
After Huang Qi heard this, he asked Li Qing to wait here for a moment while he went back inside to get the technique.
Li Qing sat quietly on a chair nearby.
At this moment, he wanted to ask about the differences between the techniques and give him a general introduction.
But after thinking about it for a moment, this shopkeeper turned out to be a foundation-building monk, so I decided to give up.
He didn't want to attract the attention of this foundation-building monk.
Although this person looks gentle, who can tell who he is in private.
If he encounters someone who is ruthless, Li Qing may not be able to save his life.
After a while, Huang Qi walked out of the room inside.
I saw him take out two black jade slips from the storage bag.
"Guest, let me introduce it to you."
"The skills recorded in these two jade slips are: Hidden Spirit Jue and Thousand Illusion Jue."
"Hidden Spirit Art"
"Its most important function is to use this technique to draw out the magic power in its body and hide it in its meridians, so that its strength will not be easily exposed."
"The characteristic of this exercise is that it cannot be continued forever. Once the exercise is performed, the original strength will be restored immediately."
"Thousand Fantasy Jue"
"Its characteristic is that it can cultivate a kind of illusory mist that blocks spiritual consciousness. No one at the same level can detect your true strength without the help of special magic weapons."
"I wonder what the value of the two techniques is?" Li Qing asked.
"Four hundred low-grade spiritual stones of Hidden Spirit Art"
"Six hundred low-grade spiritual stones of Thousand Illusions"
Under the bamboo hat, Li Qing nodded gently.
Overall the price is quite reasonable.
In fact, these ordinary techniques for hiding strength are also relatively common, and most of them are similar.
The truly top skills can even hide their strength by a huge difference.
Of course, that level of skill is not easy to obtain.
Li Qing thought for a while and felt that the Hidden Spirit Art was more suitable for him. The phantom mist produced by the Thousand Fantasy Art was too obvious.
The more you try to hide something, the easier it is for others to investigate.
"I plan to buy this Hidden Spirit Art," Li Qing said.
After speaking, Li Qing took out the counted spiritual stones and placed them on the table.
"Okay." Huang Qi reached out and took it.
He handed the technique engraved with the Hidden Spirit Art to Li Qing.
"There is a spiritual contract on it. You can explore it as long as you complete the soul oath never to be leaked before practicing."
Hearing Huang Qi's reminder, Li Qing nodded and stood up to leave.

The night is slightly cooler.
Li Qing sat cross-legged on the spirit boat and started heading towards Qianshui Yuling Sect.
Although this outing was short, the changes for Li Qing were undoubtedly huge.
After experiencing the last attack, he found that he had adapted to the cruel rules of the world of immortality faster than expected.
This time his strength has also changed dramatically compared to before.
First of all, he has two exquisite mid-level magic weapons, namely the Cold Water Sword and the Black Turtle Shield.
Two magic weapons, one for attack and one for defense, can also give him enough combat strength.
Among the outer sect disciples, except for some family members, there are also very few people who can own high-quality, middle-grade magic weapons.
After Zhen Haizhu's current spiritual energy reaches the core position of the first-level spiritual vein,
In order to avoid accidents, Li Qing also specially reserved some extra spirit fish seedlings.
The number of spiritual fish in Zhenhai Pearl can be stocked with more than 160. If there are more, it will affect Li Qing's cultivation.
But in the coming time, Li Qing will not sell them all.
Firstly, it is to be careful about one's whereabouts, and secondly, it is also for one's own cultivation.
The other Xuanshui Lingyu also helped Li Qing very obviously.
With the Xuanshui Spirit Fish, the mana in his body was obviously more pure than before.
This is actually very helpful for his future foundation building.

Under night, Li Qing returned to his cave and began to retreat.
He plans to advance to the fifth level of Qi training when he goes out on a mission, so that he can face crises with more confidence.
In fact, it is relatively easy to get promoted in the early stages of Qi training.
Therefore, Li Qing had enough elixirs and was somewhat confident.
After the later stage of Qi training, basically every step is a stage.
Even if you have poor talent, you will be stuck at a certain level of Qi training for the rest of your life and it will be difficult to overcome.
What Li Qing didn't know was that as the clouds rose in his cave, his news was also leaked out.

"Why don't you think he's out yet?"
In the distance of Li Qingdong Mansion, two figures were observing from a distance.
The two of them, one tall and one fat, were the two outer disciples of Wei Xuan.
"It should be soon. It has been four months since he went into seclusion."
"According to the sect's regulations, he can only postpone it for two months at most, and this month at most," the tall and thin monk on the side replied boredly.
"The two of us are really unlucky. Not to mention not getting any benefits from following Wei Xuan, we are wasting our time here in vain," the fat monk said dissatisfiedly at the side.
"Oh, who made us unlucky enough to be assigned this task?" The tall and thin monk also had a sad face.
"This kid is mysterious all day long. He is either out or in seclusion. He is wasting our efforts."
"Don't worry, everything will be over when he takes over the mission."
After finishing speaking, two pairs of sinister eyes looked at Li Qing's position.
Crackling!
There was a dense sound of thunder and lightning.
Inside the cave.
Li Qing's face was filled with pain at this time.
Countless thunder and lightning are traveling back and forth on the body.
At this time, a blood hole appeared in his right arm and he was bleeding profusely.
The power of thunder on the body surged towards the bleeding place as if it had encountered a powerful tonic.
