Chapter 19 Spiritual Roots Improved, Cordyceps Bloom
The sound of running water extinguished the firewood under the stove, keeping the date snails steaming in the pot at the optimal heat.
Open the lid of the pot, and the diffuse water mist gathers, falling on the hot shell like raindrops, and then condenses into hexagonal frost flowers.
The tender snail meat in the shell, stimulated by the cold breath, curled up slightly, locking in the sweet fragrance.
"Please taste it!" Li Qing took two date snails for Ren and Lake respectively.
Renn and his son fell in love with this kind of food cooked with magic. They felt that whether it was snail meat, snail heart, snail yolk, or snail paste, they all tasted extremely delicious.
Li Qing also picked one up, took out the steamed and chilled snail meat, and took a bite, it was springy and crispy.
It seemed like a calm meal time, but Li Qing's heart was filled with turmoil - his water spirit root qualifications had actually improved!
He asked calmly: "Does this date palm snail heart improve the runes greatly?"
Ren put down the snail shell: "It's okay, so-and-so Some awakened runes, but the activation is too slow to be used in actual combat, you can use the runes normally after eating them..."
"You have pretty good qualifications. Maybe it can make the runes clearer? The speed of growth in strength will also be a little faster..."
Li Qing suddenly realized that the runes in this world, After being solidified into a bloodline by a wizard, it can also be regarded as a special spiritual root.
Since date palm snail heart can improve rune qualifications, isn’t it also reasonable to improve spiritual root qualifications?
He asked again: "Does it have a miraculous effect on all runes?"
Rike on the side responded: "Water runes have the best effect; ice like me Yes, it’s not bad. As for my father’s flame rune, only those with the lowest qualifications can feel the benefit.”
This is completely different from Li Qing's feelings: it seems that all spiritual roots have benefited, but only the water spiritual roots have truly improved.
Spiritual root detection requires a spirit measuring platform, but he estimated that the water spiritual roots that he originally ignored have probably transformed into the lowest-grade low-grade spiritual roots. Although the amplitude is small, it is extremely precious.
There is a saying in the world of cultivation that spiritual roots are given by God. At least in the Great Zhou Kingdom, this kind of treasure that enhances spiritual root qualifications is as valuable as the Foundation Establishment Pill, and it has a price but no market.
——After all, humans are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? Many big guys have people they can’t get close to through practice. Such spiritual objects are naturally popular.
Li Qing asked again: "Do you still have species like date snails that can improve rune qualifications?"
Ren smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Sir, you think too highly of me. This kind of treasure is well hidden by the great nobles. How can I, a small baron, know such a secret?"
"Also It’s the date palm and snail heart, imbued with magic power. Poseidon's gift appears randomly, and the nobles cannot monopolize it, so we have a chance to know."
Li Qing thought about it, so he didn't ask any more, finished the date snails on the plate, and got up to go. Look at the pregnant snail in the pond.
"My lord, with all due respect, it may not be realistic for you to cultivate date snails imbued with magical power. Many nobles have tried it, but I have never heard of any successful one."
Lake reminded carefully: "This is just like the witchcraft medicine grown by elves. The date snail itself is a mortal species, and the magic power is only accidental and cannot be inherited."
Li Qing shook his head: "Do your best and listen to fate. Maybe God, oh, your sea god will take care of it?"
Unfortunately, date palm snails are easy to get, but the transformed snail heart is hard to find. Li Qing has only found this pair these days. Of course, there is only one left now.
“Alas, due to the limitations of the Tianwei Gate, except for alien species such as elf bugs, which have intertwined lives, other living creatures with spiritual consciousness cannot be brought back for the time being.”
“Otherwise, You can ask the spirit beast masters for help. Maybe they can find a way to retain this characteristic of the mother snail?"
In the dantian, the fragments of the "Tianwei Gate" flickered.
Li Qing suppressed the lingering emotions and entrusted the mother snail with the cub to Lake: "I'm going to stay for about a month and a half. Please take good care of me, and I will thank you when I come back!" He also told Ren. After learning about the cultivation of spiritual rice, he flew up, found a desert island, and started to travel between the two worlds.

As soon as Li Qing returned to the aura-rich cave, before he could stretch himself, something as big as a finger clicked. Hitting his chest.
There was no response from the protective magic. Li Qing looked down and found the lettuce elf insect Asun nesting on the hem of his clothes, humming "beep, bab, bab".
"Ah Sun, long time no see!" Li Qing held it in the palm of his hand and teased it gently with his fingers.
"Hey! Yeah!" Asun seemed a little angry, shouting hard and not letting Li Qing touch its head.
Li Qing condensed a spiritual energy ball on his fingertips, and while feeding it, he reasoned with it: "I wanted to take you there at the beginning. It was you who was reluctant to part with the lettuce in the spiritual plant garden. Let’s go!”
“Hey!” Ah Sun shook his head angrily and complained vaguely through spiritual communication: “It’s been too long!” You didn't say it!
Li Qing apologized to it in a good-tempered manner, and finally made Asun happy, and happily ate the spirit balls.
After Asun was comforted, he turned his attention to the spiritual plant garden.
The originally dense lettuce fields seemed to have experienced a major outbreak due to the radiation from the elf bugs.
All kinds of lettuce, tall and short, long-leaved and split-leaf, yellow-flowered and purple-flowered, huddled together in layers. However, the growth of those kinds of spiritual lettuces that have entered the first-level low-grade is still normal.
But only Asun’s Cordyceps lettuce plant firmly caught Li Qing’s attention.
The exposed part of the Cordyceps sinensis is one person tall, and then goes up nearly two feet. Among the clusters of young leaves at the top, two inflorescences are quietly peeking out, one is goose yellow, and the other is lavender, in bud. Let it go, it's really cute.
"Asun, are you going to bloom?!" Li Qing was very surprised.
According to Ren, the flowering of Elf Cordyceps is to sort out the essence of the same species and accumulate potential for later evolution.
Although the fruits and seeds it produces cannot be replanted, they are precious witchcraft medicine and have many wonderful effects after being taken.
For example, Cordyceps lettuce, yellow flower seeds are more common and can temper the internal organs; purple flower seeds are relatively rare and can purify spiritual consciousness.
After eating the spiritual energy balls, Ah Sun jumped back onto the cordyceps, rubbing the yellow flowers for a while and touching the purple flowers for a while. He tried his best to hold his head high and his belly high, and said with great pride: "Err, eh, eh, eh!"
Li Qing smiled and held A-Sun in his hand: "It seems that you have worked very hard during this period. It is worthy of praise. I will give you another spiritual energy ball."
A-Sun looked happy very quickly Fainting expression: "Hey! Yeah!"
The two masters and pets reunited after half a month, and it was a happy reunion.
This joy, along with Li Qing’s mood changes, was passed on to the red algae spirit insect Azao in his dantian.
It woke up from the cordyceps in confusion, rolled around in the true spirit liquid, and raised its head with some confusion: "Huh?"
Only then did Li Qing remember that there seemed to be an elf insect that had not been released.
While using his spiritual consciousness to order Ah Zao to take back the cordyceps in his Dantian, he told Ah Sun: "I brought you another little friend from the elf world..."
Asun raised his head in confusion: "Eh?"
Good morning! Thank you all for your collection, follow-up reading, recommendation votes and monthly support.
