Chapter 17 Mu Yuan Makes Fire, Taste of Sea Fish
After returning to Lettuce Island, Li Qing handed the harvested date snails to Reike and asked him to put them in the pool to spit out sand, then returned to the guest room where he stayed.
After using the talisman to set up warning and defensive restrictions, Li Qing sat cross-legged on the futon and began to concentrate on sensing the changes in his Dantian.
Previously, Asun took root in Dantian and not only helped Li Qing purify the true essence liquid, but also resonated with the practice of Kung Fu.
And this time Ah Zao also caused a wonderful change - Li Qing's wood-type True Essence Spiritual Liquid derived three drops of Fire-type True Essence Spiritual Liquid out of thin air!
You must know that although Li Qing has a low-grade fire spirit root and is a first-grade high-grade alchemist, his fundamental method, "Green Wood Technique", is a pure wood-based method.
When he performs water and fire spells, he relies on the five elements to create and restrain them, or to activate the aura of heaven and earth. The nature of his magic power remains unchanged.
But now, the true essence condensed by the magic power of Qingmu Jue has the fire attribute. How can this not shock him?
But soon, Li Qing discovered that the original wood genus was not mixed with the fire genus, but fire was made from wood. The two came from the same source, but they were distinct and did not interfere with each other.
“Is this an extra three drops of true energy for nothing?” Li Qing was slightly relieved, but he was worried about happiness again, “But I have never studied the foundation-building spell of the fire system!”
< br>
Ignoring the changes in his true energy for the time being, Li Qing composed himself and silently started running the "Green Wood Jue".
The aura of this elven world is very gloomy, and it is not easy to be attracted by the technique. Fortunately, Li Qing's Dantian had Cordyceps as a medium, so it didn't slow down too much.
“It’s the same as when Asun lived in Dantian, and the efficiency of practice has increased by about 10%, but I don’t know whether the two can be superimposed...well, it’s highly likely that it won’t work.”
But this It wasn't the main point. What Li Qing considered carefully was Ah Zao's condition.
As Li Qing breathes in and out, the rhythm of Ah Zao absorbing and releasing the true spirit liquid gradually resonates with the movement of Li Qing's mana.
The lingering qi-machine interaction seems to be affecting Li Qing's skills, but it is too weak to determine the benefits or harms for the time being.
"Huh! It shouldn't be a bad thing." Li Qing thought in his heart and slowly stopped.
Azao came back to his senses from the resonance, tilted his head cutely, not caring about the Cordyceps soaked in the true spirit liquid, hid under the shadow of the "Tianwei Gate", and turned his head Just sleep.
Li Qing shook his head, stood up, closed the restrictions in the room, and went out for a walk.

In the newly opened rice fields, villagers are diligently driving away seabirds to prevent them from eating the rice seeds in the fields.
Ren took this matter very seriously. He also shuttled through the fields, comparing the things Li Qing had told him and observing repeatedly, lest he missed anything.
Villagers also come here from time to time to ask for advice on rice field management and maintenance. After all, they have never grown rice before, especially these are spiritual rice.
As for the serfs in another village, they were not allowed to observe key technologies. After finishing their menial work, they were assigned to continue building the castle.
Seeing Li Qing going out, Lei Enping backed away from the villagers next to him and greeted him eagerly: "Sir, do you think what we have done is adequate?"
Li Qing smiled and nodded: "Planting spiritual rice is not difficult. I have made it clear to you what you should pay attention to. Just follow it and there won't be any big problems."
Ryan then He breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously: "I heard from Lake that you harvested another fairy bug today? This is really the blessing of the Poseidon!"
The Poseidon is a universal belief in this sea area. The Wrens are not actually religious, but that doesn't stop them from talking about it.
Li Qing nodded: "Well, it's a red seaweed elf bug. It doesn't look very old, I guess it's only over a year old."
Ren was a little envious: "The one in the sea Elf worms are much more valuable than lettuce elven worms. You can exchange them for two crop elven worms on the other side of the continent.”
"Is it because rare things are more valuable?" Li Qing guessed. Renn spread his hands: "I don't know much about it, but the big nobles on the mainland are all pursuing the sea elf worm."
"There used to be a grape worm in my house, and a grape worm in my house. The wheat bug was exchanged for a green algae bug. It's a pity..."
Li Qing didn't like poking people's scars, so he changed the topic and talked about the pearl-fishing slave he met today. There is Birch Baron.
“Reck’s courage is still a bit weak. Everyone is crossing the border to hunt for treasure. As long as they don’t get caught doing it, it’s not a problem.”
Ren was a little dissatisfied and a little decadent: "It's my fault that I haven't been able to cultivate an elf. Lake has lived a tight life since he was a child, and he inevitably has no confidence when facing other nobles. Alas..."
Li Qing smiled: "Then when this batch of spiritual rice matures, your family's confidence will be strong!"
Ren was stunned for a moment, and finally muttered: "I hope I can tell you this." The two of them chatted for a while, and Reike couldn't wait to ask them to eat.
Because the date snails haven’t spit out the sand yet, today’s main course is the two big fish.
One is steamed and the other is boiled. There are no seasonings. What you eat is the true taste of sea fish.
Although Li Qing didn't care about the efficacy, he was still curious about its taste, so he also took a small piece of mandible meat with a fork and filled another bowl of soup.
The fish meat is light pink in color and has a delicate oil-sand texture when bitten between the teeth. Touching the taste buds, it is salty and slightly spicy, making the mouth salivate.
After tasting it carefully, Li Qing swallowed the fish meat into his belly. Suddenly, a hot and restless spiritual energy, with a strange rhythm, lingered in his body.
"The fish meat tastes okay." Li Qing commented casually, and the mana flowed in his body, refining all the aura of the sea fish. The restlessness naturally calmed down.
Ren's face on the side was ruddy, but his eyes were clear. The flame runes on the skin are flowing, slowly digesting the benefits of the sea fish.
On the other hand, Lake, although he had mastered the ice rune, his face turned red, and large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, looking a little exhausted.
Li Qing's consciousness swept away and found that there was no harm in it, so he ignored him and picked up the soup bowl, taking small sips.
The fish soup also doesn’t have much seasoning, focusing on its authenticity. However, because it has been stewed for a long time, the essence of the fish is locked in the soup.
The milky white fish soup is slightly viscous and soaked with soft fish meat. As soon as you take it in your mouth, it slides down your throat and into your stomach. It warms your body and is not as irritating as steaming.
Li Qing cast a burst of magic power to help Reike refine the essence of the fish meat, and signaled to him: "You'd better drink more soup. I'll leave this steamed fish meat to your father..."
Reike said his thanks in a dazed manner, scooped out a bowl of soup, and ate it happily.
Li Qing just had a taste, then he put down the tableware and commented casually: "This cook's skills are beyond recognition."
In the world of cultivation, he has been famous for his alchemy skills since then. After achieving the staged "spiritual stone freedom", I haven't eaten Bigu Pills much, let alone meals cooked by ordinary chefs.
He usually patronizes Lingchu’s business and eats expensive but more cost-effective spiritual meals.
"By the way, I teased that girl Li Wei before, saying that I wanted to practice cooking skills? How about trying to cook and cook by yourself?"
Li Qing thought of the date snails he caught today. , decided to use them as their own training works.
