When Li Qing heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Whether it's practicing Qi or building a foundation, it turns out that in this overall situation, they are just consumables."
Zhao Xuan was also silent, and after a while he said: "We, Master Jiedan, the Lord of the Blessed Land, are nothing but consumables in a larger chess game."
The two of them couldn't help but feel a little disinterested.
Li Qing asked again: "The inheritance and spiritual treasures in the secret realm have been taken away by the Imperial Master. Is the original site of the secret realm still there?"
Zhao Xuan didn't care much: "The secret realm is still there. There is also a second-level spiritual vein inside, which is currently leased to casual cultivators. We will share the spiritual stones received equally with the opponent."
Li Qing was surprised: "It seems that the two sides are getting along well?"
Zhao Xuan nodded: "If it is not necessary, who is willing to lick blood from the knife all day long, shouting and killing? Isn't it nice to just lie down and collect the spiritual stones?"
Li Qing shook his head and laughed: "That's the reason. Since the secret realm is still there, I wonder if I am lucky enough to go and take a look inside?"
Zhao Xuan smiled and said: "It's not a confidential place. I'll let someone guide you. I still have some matters to be dealt with here, so I'll excuse you."
So Li Qing said goodbye to Zhao Xuan, and entered the secret realm accompanied by a steward from Chang Yan Fairy City.
This secret realm is not large, covering an area of less than a thousand acres, with a deep pit in the middle.
According to the steward, that is where the alchemy room where the alchemy inheritance is hidden is located.
After the alchemy room was moved away by the national master, the deep hole left behind could not even be filled by Master Jindan, so he simply ignored it.
Beyond the pit is a newly reclaimed spiritual field, where spiritual planters are currently working.
Near the side of the pit, there is a second-level spiritual vein, which nourishes the spiritual field very fertilely.
Dragon's blood rice was planted inside, and it had begun to fill. The light red grains were swaying in the breeze.
Seeing the steward next to Li Qing, a monk in the late stage of foundation building, wearing short brown clothes and dressed like a farmer, quickly flew over.
"I've seen Manager He, and the manager is here, but what are Mr. Zhao's orders?"
Manager He quickly handed over to Li Qing: "Reporter Li, this is fellow Taoist Zhai Lin. Lingzhi and his colleagues have made a lot of money and rented the second-level spiritual field in the secret realm. He grew the dragon blood rice there."
"Fellow Daoist Zhai, this is Zhenren Li, a distinguished guest of Zhenren Zhao. Come to visit the secret realm today."
Zhai Lin quickly saluted Li Qing.
Li Qing smiled and said: "I am also a spiritual planter. I saw that the dragon's blood rice from fellow Taoist Zhai is of very good quality. I am actually a little happy to see it."
Zhai Lin was a little flattered: "I am so flattered. I wonder if I am lucky enough to listen to your advice?"
Li Qing waved his hand: "There's no point in giving advice, I'll just take a stroll."
So the three Yufeng fell into the dragon blood rice field.
Li Qing picked an ear of rice at random, pinched open the shriveled chaff, and felt it carefully with his spiritual consciousness.
After a while, he praised: "My Taoist friend is really generous. He actually watered it with dragon blood. No wonder this dragon blood rice grows so amazingly."
Zhai Lin was shocked: "A real person can actually see it? My dragon blood, after many treatments, can't be distinguished easily."
Li Qing smiled and said: "It's just a coincidence. I know a fellow Taoist who specializes in dragon bloodline, and I have been influenced by it."
Zhai Lin suddenly realized: "No wonder. Your Taoist friend must also be a real person who builds the alchemy. Ordinary foundation-building monks probably don't have this knowledge."
Li Qing nodded: "That's right."
He asked again: "Fellow Taoist, if you use dragon blood as nourishment, you are not afraid of harming the dragon clan?"
Zhai Lin said with a smile on his face: "I am not a prisoner of dragons to collect blood. I bought it with spirit stones at a clear price. How can the dragon clan blame me?" Li Qing was very surprised: "There are actually dragon species that sell blood. Making a living? This is too..."
Zhai Lin shook his head: "Whether it is a dragon clan or a dragon species, they are just stronger spiritual beasts. Not all of them are extremely arrogant."
"Every living thing has desires. I give it spiritual stones, and it uses the spiritual stones to buy the treasures it likes. No one suffers."
Li Qing couldn't help but be happy: "That's true."
He crushed the ears of dragon blood rice in his hand, washed them with sweet rain, boiled them with Nirvana fire, and boiled them into a mouthful of rice porridge, which he swallowed slowly.
"Although it's not harvest time yet, the aura and flavor accumulated by this dragon's blood rice are much stronger than those of ordinary dragon's blood rice."
"Fellow Taoist, are you serving this Dragon Blood Rice yourself or selling it? If it is for sale, I would like to place a reservation."
When Zhai Lin heard this, he had a troubled look on his face: "Reporting to Master, my Dragon Blood Rice has already been reserved for a Master Jiedan from the Great Le Kingdom, but it is inconvenient to sell it for one meter."
Li Qing did not blame him: "It doesn't matter. Everything comes first, first served. However, if fellow Taoists have Dragon Blood Rice to take action in the future, you can also contact our disciples."
With that said, he gave Zhai Lin a token so that he could contact Kunpeng Blessed Land.
The two discussed the planting of dragon blood rice for a while.
Although Zhai Lin takes an eccentric approach, Ling Zhi's skills are very solid.
Especially in terms of casting spells to promote spiritual rice and increase effective tillering, thus increasing production, he has some unique inheritance.
After some exchanges, Li Qing also gained a lot.
He wandered around the Dragon Blood Rice Field for a while, then said goodbye to Zhai Lin, and Shi Shiran came to the edge of the big pit.
The pit is completely dark, without any light, giving people a sense of mystery and danger.
Li Qing sensed it with his spiritual consciousness, and then discovered with shock: "The bottom of the pit is actually connected to Void Luanliu?"
This also means that this secret realm may not exist for a long time, and there is a risk of collapse at any time.
Manager He introduced: "It is precisely because of this that the two fairy cities decided to rent out the secret realm. Otherwise, a secret realm with some second-order spiritual veins is still very popular and worth fighting for."
Li Qing turned his attention to the Dragon Blood Rice Field: "As for Fellow Daoist Zhai..."
Manager He smiled reservedly: "This is just a game. Immortal City doesn't harvest many spirit stones. If you're lucky, there will be a bumper harvest, and the profit will be quite big."
Li Qing was speechless and was about to turn around and leave when the Taihao Palace in the spiritual platform suddenly trembled slightly.
He looked inside the spiritual platform and found that the nine calves in Taihao Palace were beating very actively.
"Huh? Is there any chance left here?"
With a thought in his mind, he used the "Wuyouxuan Sutra" to block Steward He's perception, and then quietly released the nine cows.
"Moo——" A long and powerful cow cry echoed in Li Qing's ears.
He was stunned for a moment and found that nine calves had rushed into the turbulent void and were trying their best to catch something.
Li Qing then turned away with a smile and congratulated the steward: "I watched the turbulent flow in the void and occasionally felt something. I want to stay here for a while. If you have something to do, fellow Taoist, please go ahead."
Manager He actually has only one task at the moment, which is to accompany Li Qing.
But when Li Qing said this, he immediately understood and said: "I still have some affairs to deal with, so I'll excuse you now." (End of Chapter)
