Chapter 143: Dragon Blood Rice Ripe, Qingxia Secret Realm (4K Big Chapter)
Just after we agreed on the whereabouts of the spiritual red algae plant, in the Dragon Blood Rice field over there, the spiritual energy whirlpool gradually subsided.
Li Qing turned around and saw heavy bunches of rice ears falling in a reddish-brown rice field.
Dragon blood rice grains are twice as big as ordinary indica rice, the husk is crystal clear, and the rice grains are bright red and translucent, with a faint light, like red agate.
The breeze blows by, bringing with it an alluring fragrance that makes people feel full.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Li Qing walked over and was about to reward Chaoyin with a spiritual energy ball. Unexpectedly, the little guy didn't buy it.
Chaoyin flapped his butterfly wings, sprinkled light mist, and used his spiritual consciousness to send a message to Li Qing: "Guka!" (Grilled fish!)
Li Qing was dumbfounded: "Okay, you Go catch it yourself in the Hexi River. Bring it back and I'll bake it for you."
Since the Qinghe Valley's spiritual veins have advanced, the Hexi River that passes through the valley has also become more spiritual. Not only are there more spiritual plants in the water, there are even spiritual fish patrolling from time to time.
Chaoyin got his promise and happily flew to Li Yu: "Guka!"
Li Yu smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll help you fish it out! At least one that's one foot long!"
Li Yu's Guishui Youquan snail needs to be fed with sweet rain in order to transform.
When Li Qing went to the elf world or had to retreat, Chaoyin would do it for him. One person and one butterfly have a long history of friendship.
Chaoyin got what he wanted, so he randomly found a dragon blood rice to absorb the essence and accumulate evolutionary foundation.
But its eyes still kept turning, looking at the Hongya Rice Field not far away: "Guka..."
The two first-level spiritual rice planted in spring, Qingzhu rice and Hongya rice, have naturally matured long ago.
One side is glowing with dazzling rainbow light, and the other side is dotted with emerald green beads, both of which are a harvest scene.
The blue beads on Chaoyin's forehead shimmered, and he was about to make a move, wanting to recreate the shocking scene in the elf world, but was stopped by Li Qing.
"Be patient! Good rice is not afraid of being too late. When the winter solstice comes and the water and fire rice matures, we will come together to harvest the fruits of victory."
Chaoyin tilted his head and raised another Condition: "Guka?" (Spiritual Chef?)
Li Qing reluctantly agreed: "Okay, okay, tomorrow I will ask the spiritual chef of the tribe to teach you the basic skills. Hey, I don't understand why you, a water elf insect, are obsessed with cooking?"
Chaoyin ignored him and lay happily on the dragon blood rice, closing his eyes to absorb the essence.
Li Qing coaxed it well, then picked out an ear of dragon blood rice, removed the shell, and looked at it carefully in the palm of his hand.
The second elder Li Fang walked over and asked with concern: "Aqing, how is the quality of this dragon blood rice?"
Li Qing smiled and said: "Originally, the spiritual veins of Qinghe Valley were still weak. Too much is not enough to cultivate this kind of spiritual rice.”
"Fortunately, we have Chaoyin to help. The quality of this rice is not inferior to the dragon blood rice sold outside Yanling Valley."
Li Fang stroked his beard and smiled, looking into Chaoyin's eyes , full of kindness and kindness: "Spiritual rice-like plant elves, this is really a blessing!"
Li Qing shook his head with a smile, and did not ask others to have a bowl of water balanced.
After all, for monks, spiritual vegetables such as lettuce, or exotic spiritual plants such as red algae, are indeed not as economical as spiritual rice.
He took out the Liquan purple bamboo tube purchased from Zhuxin Island and placed it on the field ridge. This is the container certified by Dazhou Xuan Palace as the most suitable container for storing dragon blood rice.
Then he used Qingmu's true essence to turn into scissors, cut off an entire ear of dragon's blood rice, and stored it properly in a bamboo tube.
The dragon blood rice seeds donated by Liu Yuan were less than a box.
The yield of this rice is not high, and the total harvest this time is less than 500 catties. Even if Li Qing was careful when harvesting, it only took less than half an hour.
"Clan chief, elders, this harvest has come to an end."
Li Qing led everyone out of the restricted spiritual field, leaving only Li Wei and Li Sun. One, harvesting lettuce one by one.
The remaining spiritual plant red algae was also entrusted to the two of them by Li Qing.
While harvesting, Li Xun chatted with Li Wei: "Sister Wei, how is your practice of "Aoki Yanming Zhenjie" going?"
Li Wei spread her hands. , Yingying's Aoki Dharma light turned into the shape of lettuce: "Fayou Yuanling has just started, and can only transform lettuce for the time being."
Even so, Li Xun is still envious: "I have just completed the transformation of mana, and even The Aoki Dharma Light has not been refined yet!”
“It is not difficult to refine the Aoki Dharma Light.” Li Wei shared her practice experience without any secret, “When I take care of the spiritual plants on weekdays, I use the magic power. Don’t run out.”
"After it has full contact with the spiritual plant, then take back the Dantian. In this way, within three months, the Aoki Dharma Light will be completed."
"But the Dharma has the spirit, and it takes a lot of effort to cultivate. But if You can gain something by choosing a familiar spiritual plant as an opportunity to draw parallels."
"So, Sister Wei chose lettuce?" Li Xun pondered for a while, "The spiritual plant I am most familiar with is another one. What is it?”
At this moment, several other elf bugs that Li Qing had left in the Lingtian accompanying Asun and the others entered the lettuce field fighting.
Li Xun caught a glimpse of Xiao Lian from the corner of her eye, and couldn't help but decide in her heart: "Well, why not choose water lily. At least it will sell better than lettuce."
"Hey!" A'sun, who was not far away, gently shook his tail in protest.
Under Li Wei's teasing gaze, Li Sun hurriedly apologized to Ah Sun.
*
Three days later, in addition to the water-fire spiritual rice and the dragon bell flowers that are being trial-planted, all the second-level spiritual plants in the spiritual field have been harvested.
Li Qing simply held a flowing water feast to share the joy of the harvest with the tribesmen.
The spiritual chef of the tribe used lettuce and lettuce leaves as side dishes and used eighteen kinds of martial arts to prepare six "whole bamboo shoot feasts". Of course, this bamboo shoot is not that bamboo shoot.
Red algae are also used. Although its texture and taste are strange, after repeated processing, a very small amount can be used as seasoning.
The most precious thing is undoubtedly the spiritual rice wine soaked in dragon blood rice. After a small cup, I feel warm all over, but not intoxicating.
When have any of the qi-training monks in the clan ever eaten such a second-level spiritual plant? Everyone was eating so much that they couldn't bear to stop their cups and throw chopsticks.
Li Hui initially opposed the use of dragon blood rice. After all, this rice is beneficial to the foundation-building cultivation body.
There is even a small chance of using it to refine dragon blood pills. It can add a small magical power of the dragon clan to the foundation-building monk, which is extremely precious.
It was Li Qing who convinced him: "Chaoyin's energy is mainly on planting water and fire rice. He can't spare much time to plant dragon blood rice."
"This season If you don’t expand the harvested dragon blood rice, you can only use a small amount of the rest to cook it.”
“As for the dragon blood pill, there is no prescription. , and he doesn’t have the second-level alchemy attainment, how can he achieve it?”
Li Hui was still a little sore at the time, but when the spirit rice wine was served, he drank the most.
The Lingmi wine, which was not intoxicating at all, made him drunk and kept mumbling something.
Li Qing listened carefully and only heard words such as "ancestors' blessings", "green smoke", and "die without regrets". However, the second elder, Li Fang, reacted quickly and quickly set up a ban to isolate the main table and other seats, preventing the clansmen from witnessing the clan leader's embarrassment.
“Alas, the burden on his shoulders is too heavy.” The great elder Li Yao shook his head, “When the Li family was handed over to him, it was a time of great turmoil.”< br>
“Fortunately, in the past two years, Ah Qing and Brother Zhe have built the foundation of the road, and then dragged the family out of the quagmire.”
The third elder Li Ye also said: "It's rare for him to open up his heart today, so let him get drunk and rest."
Li Qing laughed and raised his glass: "In that case, everyone, please drink this glass to the full. ! ”
*
After harvesting the second-level spiritual plants, late rice and other autumn crops in the spiritual fields are also receiving a bumper harvest.
Li Qing ignored it and went directly back to the cave to retreat, while refining the Qinghe Valley spiritual veins to lay the foundation for the construction of the Earthly Immortal Dharma Realm.
On one side, follow the spiritual veins and use your spiritual consciousness to map the spiritual vein branches, spiritual energy nodes, earth veins, water veins, etc. on the other side of the spiritual field to prepare for the transformation of the spiritual field at the end of the year.
On this day, Li Qinggang had reached 20% of the refining progress of the Qinghe Valley spiritual veins, when he suddenly heard someone ringing the golden bell outside the door.
He walked out and found that Li Hui and several elders were arriving hand in hand. But no one needed to explain, he already understood what was going on.
On the high dome in the distance, a magnificent green cloud stretches across the sky, rolling from time to time, transforming into images of heavenly palaces, dragons and phoenixes.
“It turns out that the Qingxia Secret Realm has been opened.” Li Qing suddenly realized, “I am practicing and don’t keep track of years, so I forgot about this grand event by Xuefeng Lake.”
Li Hui stroked his long beard: "In previous years, we could only watch helplessly as the children of the Foundation Establishment family entered the secret realm first and came out on top. This year, we don't have to be so angry."
Li Qing haha Yixiao: "I wonder which monks in the clan are determined to venture into the secret realm this year?"
Li Hui then mentioned a few names, most of which were from the sixth level of Qi training, including the ones who had previously reported the news about the Spirit Fish King. , Li Zhuang was given the visualization diagram.
He chose a "Picture of Fish and Dragon Visualization" at that time, which was quite consistent with his spiritual roots and temperament. In just a few months, he broke through from the fifth level of Qi training to the sixth level.
Li Qing thought for a while and added Li Xun's name: "Let this kid also go and see it. He spends all day in the spiritual field, tending spiritual plants, and has no knowledge of fighting skills. How can he do it?"< br>
The list was finalized, and Li Qing did not delay, and led everyone out of Qinghe Valley, heading towards Xuefeng Lake against the wind.
At this time, the east bank of Xuefeng Lake was already crowded with people.
Many Qi Practitioners huddled together, looking eagerly at the simple bluestone door in the sky.
But coincidentally, no one has set foot on the seven boulders near the lake.
Li Qing came with all the tribesmen, looked around, and landed on a huge boulder in the north: "Fellow Taoists are not here yet, but we are here a little early."
As soon as everyone in the Li family landed, a group of qi-training monks over there exclaimed: "The Li family of Qinghe Valley has arrived! The emerging foundation-building family!"
"That is Li Qing Ancestor. He failed to build the foundation for the first time, but he was not discouraged. He worked hard to build the foundation on his own and succeeded!” A model for underachievers.”
The crowd whispered. Soon, two heads of Qi-training families came to pay their respects.
Li Qing was impatient with this, said hello, and pushed them all to Li Hui. He took out the white jade futon, sat down by the water, and waited for the other foundation-building monks to come over.
Soon, four foundation-building families, including the Niu family of Xinghua Village and the Fan family of Zhuxin Island, arrived one after another and each chose a huge stone to settle down on.
Li Qing chatted with Niu Xinjing and Fan Shuyun, and waited for Sang Yuwan, who had gray temples.
"Fellow Taoists, I haven't seen you for a few months, but you still look like you!" Sang Yuwan smiled and greeted several foundation building overhauls.
Li Qing exchanged some pleasantries before looking in the direction of Yanglong Lake: "Fellow Taoist Ao Lan, why didn't you come here with me?"
Ao Lan was Sang Yuwan's life. The dragon species that has been cultivated, the Xuelan Dragon Eel, has a second-level low-grade cultivation level, which is not inferior to the monks in the early stage of foundation building.
Sang Yuwan smiled and said: "Excuse me for your concern, fellow Taoist, Ao Lan just had a few babies a few days ago. He is taking care of the baby at home now."
Hearing this, Li Qing pretended to be angry and said: "Why not Leave a message and I’ll come to ask for a drink of dragon blood wine.”
Sang Yuwan laughed: “Isn’t it easy to drink dragon blood wine? Come tomorrow, this year’s new wine will be out of the cellar. Ask someone to send a few altars to your door."
Niu Xinjing joked on the side: "Sang Taoist friend is really generous. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to get one?"
Fan Shuyun also said: " If I don’t have a share, my little sister will definitely not obey.”
Sang Yuwan couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You two, guarding your own green apricot wine and purple bamboo wine, are reluctant to take them out, but you are thinking about this little possession of mine..."
Li Qing couldn't help but suddenly realized: "It turns out that Daoyou Niu and Daoyou Fan also have good wines! I didn't have a chance to drink it during my previous visit. I don't know what the next time will be. Is it such an honor?”
“No way.” Niu Xingjing shook his head helplessly, “Fan Daoyou and I have tried to brew the wine many times, but we haven’t succeeded yet.” br>
Everyone was chatting happily when they suddenly heard strong real energy fluctuations coming from the south.
Li Qing looked up and saw three foundation-building monks in black clothes and red armor flying towards this side on a tripod-shaped spiritual weapon.
Behind the three people, there were thirty-six monks at the sixth level of Qi training. They were all full of energy, with brilliant eyes, and their aura was far beyond that of their peers.
Soon, this group of people landed on the middle boulder.
The Qi-training monks who were still whispering among each other were suddenly frightened by the momentum, and they all remained silent.
“I’ve met Deacon Zhou Yi, and I’ve met fellow Taoists Tu Ming and Zhang Chao!” Sang Yuwan took the lead and greeted the three Xuanyi monks.
It turns out that these three foundation-building monks all came from the Great Zhou Xuan Palace and were ordered to guard the boundary of Xuefeng Lake.
The leader, Zhou Yi, has a serious official position and is the most imposing: "Fellow Taoists, there is no need to be too polite. I am not representing Xuan Palace today, I just bring these juniors here to gain experience."
These words, Even Li Qing, a newly promoted foundation builder, just smiled and got by.
Zhou Yi smiled and looked at the bluestone gate on the sky: "The portal to the secret realm has appeared, and it requires the cooperation of nine fellow foundation builders to open it."
"In previous years, I still need to invite Taoist friends from Lou, or my family. There is no need to bother them now."
As he said that, Zhou Yi took out a green auspicious cloud-shaped jade pendant and handed it to Li Qing: "It's not too late. , let’s open the secret realm immediately so that the juniors can have more time to explore.”
The Qingxia Secret Realm opens every ten years. At this step, Li Qing could only watch on the sidelines before, but now he can participate.
He imitated the postures of others, held the Qingyun Jade Pendant high, and injected his true energy without any reservation.
"Rumble--" The portal to the secret realm opened.
(By the way, please ask for the guaranteed monthly pass on the 15th. If you have it.)
This update is a supplementary update on May 26th. At this point, I don’t owe any more updates. Good night everyone.
