Chapter 157: Winter Solstice, Rice Ripens, Treasure Tree Advances (First Update)
Summer ends and autumn arrives, autumn turns to winter. In a blink of an eye, the winter solstice has arrived.
Early in the morning, Li Qing ordered the spiritual chef of the clan to knead the spiritual wheat flour into dough, grind it into dough, wrap it with various spiritual vegetables and spiritual animal meat, and wrap it into ear-shaped pastries. Boiled for the children to eat.
"This is called dumpling. It is a snack that must be eaten during the winter solstice in a mortal world." Li Qing scooped up the bowl himself, held it with chopsticks, and ate slowly.
"Hmm! It's delicious!" Li Hu happily bit into a dumpling. Inside, the red carp and pork fillings of moderate fatness and leanness burst out with fragrant juice, which made him squirm again and again.
When Li Ling'er and Li Yue'er came to Li Qing's cave for the first time, they were a little reserved at first, but using the food as a bridge, they soon became familiar with the elf bugs such as Asun.
"Tomorrow, you three will start to introduce Qi into your body, right?" After eating the dumplings, Li Qing became concerned about the progress of their practice.
Qi training is the first stage of cultivating immortality. After learning the basic knowledge and cultivating the Three Treasures of Jing, Qi and Shen, this batch of cultivation seeds from the Li family finally reached the stage of formal cultivation.
Li Hu nodded: "Yes, tomorrow! Guide the energy and practice."
More than half a year later, he was taught the art of telepathy, and he was actually able to communicate in long sentences. But the oral habit that pops up in one word or two cannot be corrected for a while.
Li Ling'er was a little worried: "Great-uncle, my sister and I don't have very good spiritual root qualifications. Will it hold us back?"
Li Yue'er also looked worried. The troubles of children are not hidden at all.
Li Qing nodded first, then shook his head: "Although spiritual qualifications are important, understanding and diligence will also affect the efficiency of practice."
"In addition, of course, practice is inseparable. I have asked Aunt Li Wei to prepare a spiritual gift package. Go and get it yourself!"
The two sisters Li Linger were overjoyed: "Thank you, great uncle! ! ”
Li Qing listened to the title of "great uncle" and shook his head helplessly, motioning to the two of them: "Go find your aunt."
The two sisters went out happily, completely forgetting that there was a little friend who stayed behind. Got here.
Li Qing took out a jade slip from his sleeve: "Xiao Huzi, this is a technique I deduced based on "Qingfeng Jue", supplemented by the insights of cultivating Hui Feng, and the Tao foundation."
"Let's call it "Hui Feng Jue". Tomorrow you will use this method to introduce Qi into the body and enter the Qi training level."
Li Huzhen put it away carefully. Nodding heavily: "I will, work hard!"
Li Qing smiled and rubbed his little head: "Your spiritual root qualifications are top-notch, so your cultivation speed is not a problem. But don't just focus on cultivation. The road to immortality is long, and there are many things worth experiencing and recalling."
Li Hu nodded in understanding, left the cave, and went to play with his friends.

At dusk, Li Qing brought A-Sun, Chaoyin, and a group of elf insects to the family spiritual field.
Because this winter we have to sort out the veins of the Lingtian, we have not planted overwintering spiritual plants. At this time, the Lingtian is deserted.
There is only a field of spiritual rice, with layers of rice waves turning in the early wind, like pines, waves and bamboos, stretching endlessly.
Li Qing flew into the air against the wind and looked down at the spiritual field below. He saw that the rainbow cliff rice and green pearl rice were in the shape of yin and yang fish, arranged on both sides.
On one side, the leaves and grains are all golden, glowing with dazzling rainbow light; on the other side, the golden leaves and green valleys are filled with light vapor.
The serpentine arc dividing the boundary is a mottled red and black interweaving, which is exactly where the water and fire spirit rice is.
Today is the winter solstice, when the cathode and yang arise, it is the day when water, fire and rice are harvested.
Li Qing fell from the air and came to the core of the yin and yang formation suppressed by the three treasure trees. This natal spiritual weapon has been rooted here since the summer solstice when the rice of water and fire was sown.
Sensing the arrival of its owner, the coral tree swayed slightly, as if it were spiritual, spontaneously echoing Li Qing's Aoki True Essence and Spiritual Fire and Sweet Rain.
Only half a year has passed, and under the influence of the Yin-Yang Formation and the Water-Fire Spiritual Rice, it has quietly entered the threshold of a mid-grade spiritual weapon.
"I planted a willow tree unintentionally to create a shade!" Li Qing was very happy. The green wood essence and the sweet rain spirit fire poured out, taking advantage of the situation to refine the three treasure trees.
During the exchange between the two, the three elements of water, wood and fire swirled and intertwined, and followed the yin and yang formation diagram to connect with the water, fire and spiritual rice.
At this time, the leaves of Shuihuo Lingmi have withered, and only the ears and grains hang heavily. The grains have dark spots on the red bottom, which correspond to the harmony of water and fire.
When you are in the formation, you can clearly feel that the inspiration from Hongya Rice and Qingzhu Rice meet here, continuously nourishing the Water and Fire Spirit Rice.
The water and fire spiritual rice radiates some kind of strange fluctuations outwards, subtly changing the qualities of the two first-order spiritual rice.
Li Qing randomly picked a grain of water-fire rice, cracked the husk, and the pure rice fragrance escaped.
He put the spiritual rice into his mouth and chewed it. Immediately, a pure water and fire energy flowed down his throat with the jade liquid and spread in his stomach.
The energy of water and fire complemented each other, and with some wonderful connotation, penetrated Li Qing's limbs and bones, then flowed into his Dantian and merged into the spiritual platform, and finally disappeared.
Li Qing couldn't help being stunned, but then he was relieved: "It's just a grain of rice. If it had immediate effects, wouldn't it become a magical elixir?"
"Guka!" Chaoyin flapped his butterfly wings, It was dancing around him, as if curious about the taste of water, fire and rice.
Li Qing pinched another one and fed it into its mouth: "How?"
Chaoyin closed his eyes, savoring the intertwined charm of water and fire, and seemed to enjoy it very much: "Guka!"
The other little guys are not spiritual rice elf bugs. I don't have much interest in this, but seeing it When the food is delicious, he also calls out for a taste.
Li Qing was not stingy either, feeding each one a pill, but unfortunately most of them had a mediocre response.
Only A-Sun emerged with the true energy of green wood all over his body, and grasped the essence of the interplay of water and fire: "Eaah!" (Great!)
Li Qing waited for them all to taste it, Only then did Chaoyin use his talent: "It's time for a good harvest."
Chaoyin nodded, opened his mouth and spit out Cordyceps, planted it next to the Three Treasures Tree, and then used it as a medium to activate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
It flaps its four butterfly wings and slowly sheds sweet rain along the arc of the growth of water and fire rice. At the same time, the green beads on its forehead shine.
Suddenly, a strange wave, controlled by Chaoyin, caressed the water and fire rice inch by inch.
The miracle that happened in the elf world is repeated again!
I saw that the Shuihuo Lingmi, which had withered leaves and was just waiting to be harvested, actually grew leaves, heading, flowers, and filling again.
In just one hour, based on the original number of ears and grains, the yield was directly increased by nearly 60%!
"Guka!" Chaoyin shouted happily, and the strange wave rolled up the three colors of black, green and red, and retracted the green bead on his forehead.
"Ah Qing, thank you for your hard work!" Li Qing raised his finger and asked Chaoyin to rest on it.
