Chapter 7 Returning to Qinghe Valley, the family’s hidden worries
The journey of half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the flying boat finally arrived near Qinghe Valley.
Qinghe Valley got its name six hundred years ago. At that time, there was a great Qinghe demon in the elixir formation stage, who was beheaded here by the Great Zhou Imperial Master.
The ancestors of the three families of Li, Zhang and Chen believed that there was a treasure left by the great demon here, so they took root here and have multiplied from generation to generation to this day.
When the flying boat stopped, Li Qing walked out of the cabin door, only to find that the family's team to greet him was quite large.
"Aqing, let's talk about building the foundation. It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. It's better to look forward." Li Hui, the leader of the Li clan, patted his shoulder and comforted him in a low voice.
The Great Elder Li Yao on the other side smiled and stroked his beard and told him the good news: "Over there in Yanling Valley, good news came from the past few days. Brother Zhe has succeeded in building the foundation."< br>
The second elder Li Fang nodded: "My Li family in Qinghe Valley is also protected by foundation-building monks. Don't put too much pressure on yourself..."
"Li Zhe has built a foundation?! No wonder The Zhang family and the Chen family didn't cause any trouble on the way." Li Qing suddenly felt relieved.
The third elder, Li Ye, also had a smile on his face: "When you come back this time, you can become an elder. From now on, you can grow spiritual plants and refine elixirs at home, and stop going out and wandering around."
The patriarchs and elders of the Li family are all monks at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Currently, there are only the above four people. The three elders are his great-grandfathers, and the clan leader is his grandfather.
After Li Qing was promoted to the ninth level of Qi Refining, he devoted himself to the foundation building stage. He refused several times, but still refused to take office as an elder. The family elders knew about his ambition and did not rush him.
Now that the foundation building has failed and the adventure needs time to settle, he can also free up some time to help deal with family affairs.
Seeing Li Qing let go of his promise, Li Hui and several elders smiled even more, and a group of people returned to the family headquarters in a mighty manner.
The Li family is divided into two parts according to whether they are practicing or not. Mortals and those with poor qualifications live together in several towns outside the valley; while those with higher qualifications open caves to practice on the branches of the spiritual veins in Qinghe Valley.
When passing by Zhang and Chen's residence, Li Qing took a glance and sighed in his heart: "The only way to win is to fight! Although I don't like fighting, I still have to decide the winner in the end."
*< br>
Back in the cave where he practiced, Li Qing was silent, but he was not as optimistic as the elders.
Li Zhe and Li Qing are the same age, but one generation behind Li Qing. Because he possesses an upper-middle-grade fire spirit root, he was recruited as an outer disciple by the Yanling Valley in the southern part of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Yanling Valley, like Tanyuan Immortal City, has several Dan-Jie masters sitting in command, and they are very famous, and the competition within the sect is equally fierce.
In order to support Li Zhe, the Li family sends most of their income to Yanling Valley every year.
Li Zhe is quite impressive. He has reached the peak of Qi refining in his forties, and has hope of reaching the foundation building stage.
Foundation building is the first level of practice. Only those with high-grade spiritual roots and above, the legendary earth spiritual root qualifications, can overcome the barriers on their own without risking death.
After all, Li Zhe only has mid-level qualifications. Just in case, he still needs a foundation-building pill to help him pass the test.
For this reason, the Li family sold iron and resources to give him a share of a genuine Foundation-Building Pill in Yanling Valley.
It was not until more than ten years later that the Foundation Establishment Pill was finally delivered to him.
And it was Li Qing who went to Yanling Valley to deliver resources to Li Zhe.
With the resources in hand, Li Zhe returned to Yanling Valley in a hurry without reminiscing with Li Qing or talking about the situation in the clan.
“In his eyes, the weight of the sect Yanling Valley is probably far more important than that of the Li family, which devoted its entire family efforts to support his cultivation!”
This happened. He couldn't mention it when he returned home, because the great elder and clan leader were both direct elders of Li Zhe's lineage.
Li Qing was just from a remote branch, so of course he understood the principle of not being close to each other.
After Li Zhe, he advanced to the ninth level of Qi training, practiced spiritual cultivation and alchemy, and was also supported by his family. When it came to the strategic resource of Foundation Establishment Pill, the family was powerless, so he could only find a way to get a foundation-building opportunity by himself.
“Fortunately, he is from the Li family after all. After successfully building the foundation, he can still intimidate the Zhang and Chen families.”
After all, the other two families, It's just that the relationship between the foundation-building monks who climbed up through marriage and twists and turns is not as close as the relationship between the Li family and Li Zhe.
As soon as the news of Li Zhe's successful foundation came back, the two families stopped their overt and covert attacks. This was the reason.
It is useless to think too much. Li Qing looked around the empty cave, first put the alchemy furnace in the storage bag back to its original position, and then put a few bottles of ordinary elixirs on the museum shelf.
In the elixir garden specially opened for him at the back door of the cave, except for a small patch of qingling grass of little value, he had pulled out and sold all the other spiritual plants of some age.
It has been more than twenty years since he was promoted to the first-level high-grade alchemy master. All the belongings he saved have been replaced by the inferior foundation-building pill. Now he can be said to have a breath of fresh air.
Li Qing planted the two witch medicine plants brought back from Lettuce Island and directly named them rabbit tail grass.
When she first entered the spiritual field, Rabbit Tail Grass, which was still a little sluggish, noticed changes in the concentration of spiritual energy.
The fluffy ears swayed slightly, slowly absorbing the surrounding aura that was far more lively than that of Lettuce Island, showing no symptoms of acclimatization.
In addition, Li Qing also planted some common crops brought back from Lettuce Island into the spiritual field. Results were generally well adapted.
He even made a keen judgment based on many years of experience: "The cycle required for maturity has been shortened by half?!"
Ichijo used the difference in spiritual energy between the two worlds to resell spiritual plants/ The profit channels of witchcraft medicine flashed in his mind.
"The sample is still not enough, let's leave it for now." Li Qing shook his head and directed his consciousness to his Dantian.
Perhaps there are differences between the two worlds. Half a month has passed, and the portal phantom is only "charged" by one-third.
Calculated, it will take him another month before he can go to Lettuce Island again: "Fortunately, I brought Asun back! Otherwise, who knows whether he will be there next time."
While turning on various protection and phantom formations in the elixir garden, he used the messenger talisman to contact Li Wei: "Girl, help me go to the vegetable garden to see if there is any lettuce planted in it. Every kind of lettuce is grown there." "Bring Yi Qian here."
Perhaps it is the fairy insect born in the plant. It is indeed inseparable from the vast earth and the vast nature.
Or perhaps it was because the Dantian was too monotonous. After Asun stayed there for half a month, his mood was obviously depressed, and he was not as lively and active as he was at the beginning.
Li Qing had no choice but to take the risk, release it from the Dantian, and pointed it to a spiritual energy node in the elixir garden.
“Come on, A-Sun, plant your Cordyceps in this position.”
A-Sun crawled over in confusion, tilted his head and screamed “Yaa”, then opened his mouth and spat. , Cordyceps the size of a dust particle falls on the aura node.
A faint green light flashed, and about a quarter of an hour later, the Cordyceps lettuce plant finally grew to the height of a person.
Relying on the Cordyceps sinensis, Asun finally felt the abundance of spiritual energy around him. He suddenly became energetic and jumped up and down on the broad lettuce leaves, calling out "beep babbling".
What surprised Li Qing even more was that with the elf bugs, the aura activity of the elixir garden was even higher.
“This is really a blessing!” Li Qing looked at the cheerful Asun with a warm smile on his face, thinking about his future farming plans in his heart.
Outside the cave, Li Wei rang the golden bell on his door: "Sixth Uncle, I'm here with lettuce!"
