Chapter 114 Floating City?

But theory is just theory, actually.

"It's really almost time for promotion!"

These main conditions have been met, and now you can really start to advance to the extraordinary level.

But the reason why Li Qing didn't do it immediately was mainly because he felt that the accumulation was still a little short of.

To put it simply, the stage after extraordinary is the stage of laying the foundation, and the foundation will determine the potential and upper limit after extraordinary.

To put it more simply, after being promoted to extraordinary, you cannot continue to awaken new bloodlines. At the same time, if you strengthen the existing bloodline, the difficulty is much higher than before being extraordinary.

To use a simple analogy, you only need one dragon bloodline to easily awaken the dragon bloodline before being promoted to extraordinary.

But if you want to obtain the dragon bloodline after being transcended, you need at least ten dragon bloodlines before you can awaken.

Moreover, the purity of the dragon bloodline essence required after transcendence is higher.

Of course, this is not a problem for Li Qing.

The main problem is that what he wants to awaken is not the ordinary dragon bloodline, but the ancient dragon bloodline, which requires a source of light to stimulate its awakening.

Awakening before transcendence only requires one source of light, but awakening after transcendence requires ten such ancient dragon bloodlines.

Therefore, how can it be possible to spend ten sources of light on a problem that can be solved with only one?

The fastest it takes a year and a half to accumulate the Ten Paths, and at a slower pace it may take three years to accumulate.

Of course, Li Qing now has enough dragon blood and original light on hand, but he only has a few hero skill points and has not used them for the time being.

To awaken the ancient dragon bloodline, you must also use all the bloodline talents that come with it, such as dragon breath, dragon scales, and dragon wings, and at least fifteen hero skill points.

Don't worry, it's only a while now, by the time this experience is over, it will be almost done.

It was already a month and a week later when Xie Zhu's trading team came back again. At this time, Li Qing was in the canyon base on the surface.

When he heard the news of their return, he stopped his experiments to meet him.

Xie Zhu's face was covered with frost after not seeing him for a month.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Li Qing pushed the hot tea in his hand over, sat down in front of him and asked:

"How's it going? What's the gain from this trade?"

Xie Zhu took a sip of hot tea, sat up straight and replied:

"The underground of this plane is quite complicated. Our method of giving up force and switching to trade is very good. In addition, I found traces of a natural disaster lord when I went to those human city-states."

"Ugh!"

Li Qing sat up straight and asked in a deep voice:

"Tell me more details."

"It's like this. In the past month, I've been walking around several major underground clans and discovered it."

Xie Zhu talked eloquently in front of him and told Li Qing what he had seen and heard in an orderly manner.

Li Qing tapped his fingers on the table while listening, frowning.

It is not much different from the information given by the dwarves. The underground world of this plane is mainly ruled by four major groups: humans, dwarves, orcs and jackals. The United Kingdom of Underground Tribes has been at war with the Snake Kingdom for many years.

These large tribes generally exist in the form of city-states or tribes. Each large tribe or city-state has a population ranging from 20,000 to 30,000 to more than 100,000. The total population of the entire Underground United Kingdom is about one million.

With the complex underground terrain, even if the war with the Snake Kingdom over the years is unfavorable, there is no need to fear that the Snake Kingdom will capture it.

However, with the invasion of natural disasters, a large number of natural disaster heroes and natural disaster lords descended directly into the underground world, and their lives were not easy.

The big city-states are fine now, but the small tribes scattered in small underground spaces are in bad luck. Some of them can't even stop the large tide of wild and wandering undead.

Until now, not a single large city-state has been conquered, but it is unknown how many small tribes have been wiped out.

And this situation is also spreading to large tribes. The previous attack by the natural disaster heroes on the dwarf tribe was a test.

In addition, several human city-states on the other side of the underground are also facing direct threats from the natural disaster lord.

It is precisely because of the poor environment that Xie Zhu's trade journey has been so smooth. With the dwarves as guarantee, other city-states are very interested in Li Qing, who has strong strength. After this trade trip, several large orders have been booked.

Most of them use the food that is most scarce in the underground world in exchange for the various ores that are most abundant in the underground world.

Or use finished war weapons to exchange for some rare magic materials, especially the fine gold and mithril that Li Qing needs most.

At the same time, there is a large intention order.

The mage city-state, one of the three largest city-states in mankind, is willing to give up two hundred kilograms of fine gold, one hundred kilograms of mithril, and some mage-related knowledge in exchange for Li Qing sending a group of no less than five thousand mercenaries to support the mage.

War between city-states and Scourge Lords.

Two hundred kilograms of fine gold and one hundred kilograms of mithril are enough to make twenty steel golems.

But if you want to recruit all his troops to fight for it, it will definitely not be enough.

Of course, there is also some knowledge related to mages.

But Li Qing doesn't think the mage knowledge in this small plane fragment can be much better. There may be some new things, but Li Qing doesn't think it has much value.

So after careful consideration, Li Qing told Xie Zhu to refuse the deal the next time he went there.

Just normal trade, don't get too deep into the war between them and Scourge Heroes or Scourge Lords.

Li Qing thought it would be better to stay here and wait for a fight to break out near the capital of the Snake King on the surface before trying to fish in troubled waters.

Whether it's fishing in troubled waters to kill a natural disaster lord, or taking advantage of the chaos to invade the Snake King's capital, it's all a bloody gain.

If there is a ready-made one, who would be interested in traveling thousands of miles deep underground to deal with a natural disaster lord whose strength is unknown.

If a war broke out on the surface of the earth not long after the expedition, it would take a month to go back and forth, and by the time we hurried back, there would probably be no dregs left in the soup.

But less than half a month after he refused, Li Qing received news that surprised him. The mage city-state had built a large portal on the side of the dwarf tribe, and a dwarf army of about five thousand passed through the portal.

Go to the city-state that supports the mage.

There is a large portal that can easily mobilize generals at any time, and more troops can be assembled in a short period of time.

After Li Qing received the news, he immediately became interested and asked Xie Zhu to ask the mage city-state whether the portal construction technology could be sold.

Yes, he fell in love with this thing.

The portal is different from the teleportation spell. The teleportation spell has a duration limit and a limit on the strength of the traversal power.

The portal is a fixed portal that can continuously transfer troops as long as it is maintained by a mage.

With this, it will be more convenient to open branch mines in the future.

After only waiting for one day, there was a response from the mage city-state. The portal technology could be sold, but under the same conditions, Li Qing needed to send an army to support.

The mage city-state even came up with a trading list, which contained technologies that could be traded. The prices were clearly marked and could be traded as long as the conditions were met.

Li Qing brought a list. When he turned to the most valuable page of the list and saw the redeemable technologies on it, he looked up in shock and asked:

"There is actually this exchange? Is it real or fake?"

The envoys of the mage city-state were several middle-aged and elderly mages wearing old robes. The leader looked to be sixty or seventy years old. He smiled and said:

"Your Excellency is as surprised as those of your kind. This is indeed true."

"Same race?"

Li Qing immediately realized something and asked:

"Are you dealing with a lot of people like me?"

The old mage nodded:

"Yes, many outsiders like you are very interested in our magic and want to trade with us."

Li Qing frowned and asked:

"So has anyone exchanged it now?"

The old mage shook his head and said:

"No, this kind of technology is all stored in special spell cards. We don't have the ability to make more now. Some of them have no technology at all. The existing ones are all left over by our ancient predecessors. There is only one card. You are talking about this floating card.

There is only one piece of empty city manufacturing technology left over from ancient times, and it has not been replaced yet."

Li Qing lowered his head. At the top of the exchange list was a complete set of floating city manufacturing technologies, including all supporting technologies and technologies related to magic runes and magic arrays.

The exchange condition given by the mage city-state is to kill the natural disaster lord who is attacking the three human city-states.

The difficulty of redemption is simply explosive.

But because of this, no one of the twenty or so war lord apprentices hanging around the underground human city-states has been able to accomplish this feat and obtain the floating city design blueprint.

Li Qing also said that it was too difficult, and even if he tried his best now, he might not be able to succeed.

He pursed his lips and looked at the other redemption items below.
