Chapter 157 Double Happiness
In the next ten days or so, Li Qing devoted all his energy to refining weapons and training.
Besides that, every once in a while, he would send a jar of aged winter plums to the old miner named Zhou.
Just like that, time passed quickly, and before we knew it, twelve days had passed.
At this time, in Li Qing's yard, he was carving spiritual patterns on a palm-sized heart plate with an unprecedented concentration.
As his fingertips traced across the heart guard, wisps of khaki-colored lines were looming.
The spiritual patterns above seem to form a whole. Although they are not connected to each other, they have a mysterious connection.
It can be seen that this time the inscription is very successful and it is nearing the end.
Finally, Li Qing's fingertips crossed the iron plate with force and precision, and the last earth attribute spiritual pattern was engraved by him.
Buzz!
In just a moment, the spiritual energy in the surrounding heaven and earth began to stir, converging towards the heart-protecting board covered with earth-yellow spiritual patterns.
After all, it was just a inferior magic weapon. The process of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth only lasted for a short time and then stopped, without attracting anyone's attention at all.
But then, a line of text message suddenly appeared in front of Li Qing's eyes, which cheered him up!
[Successfully refining an inferior magic weapon: the earth element heart protection plate, rewarding six years of longevity! 】
Six years!
Seeing this number, Li Qing let out a sharp breath and felt that the busy work during this period was worth it!
This is the first time in history that the life span has been increased by six years in one breath. Even the Qinghong Sword made from pure black gold has not increased by so much.
Li Qing raised his eyes and saw that his remaining life span had reached one hundred and eighty-five years!
What an astonishing number. You must know that even if you reach the foundation building stage, your lifespan will only be two or three hundred years.
But now he is only at the second level of Qi refining stage, and he can already live to be more than two hundred years old.
Li Qing is now close to twenty-eight years old.
However, it is worth mentioning that his bone age and physical condition are still only twenty-five years old.
It's not that his growth has stagnated, it's just that he is aging at an unusually slow rate. It seems that what he is consuming now should be the life span he gained from refining the weapon.
Or to put it another way, because of his abundant longevity, Li Qing’s adolescence, the most golden period in his life, has also been stretched a lot!
“It took twelve days and finally it was done!”
Li Qing smiled with great satisfaction, and poured a bit of spiritual power into the iron plate covered with spiritual patterns.
Buzz!
Soon, a thin layer of earthy yellow light emerged, covering part of Li Qing's body.
This is a very simple ability brought by the inscribed earth attribute spiritual pattern. Li Qing named it Earth Element Shield.
As the name suggests, it can resist some spell attacks, especially water attribute spells, and has a pretty good defensive effect.
"Yes, it only takes a small amount of spiritual power to obtain a protective shield. Although it is not big, if you place it on your heart, it can at least cover your torso."
"But after all, it is just a bad shield. The magic weapon used to resist some small magic attacks in the early stage of Qi refining is already at its limit. In the middle stage of Qi refining, even some spell attacks that are good at using the attributes of one's own skills may suffer. "
Li. Qing said with a slight smile, he was very self-aware of the heart protection plate he had just successfully refined.
After saying that, he happily stuffed the heart protector into his arms.
Next, Li Qing recovered a little of his consumed spiritual power, and then he once again carried a jar of winter plum wine to visit the old miner named Zhou.
He has already decided that if the other party is still unwilling to tell him some matters about the mine this time, he will never give it to him again in the future.
Although he stored a lot of fine wine, he did not fail like this!
Now he can be regarded as a weapon refining apprentice. He can simply refine some inferior magic weapons and earn some spiritual stones. It is not that difficult for him.
And with Li Qing's abundant longevity, he can be more cautious and slowly accumulate experience.
He has no other strengths, except that he lives longer and is more patient than anyone else.
Boom, boom, boom!
Li Qing knocked on the door of Courtyard No. 16 as usual. Senior Zhou was obviously used to Li Qing's knocking these days, and he quickly answered:
" Come in."
Li Qing heard the sound and placed a jar of aged winter plums in the courtyard before preparing to leave.
However, what made him overjoyed was that this time, Old Man Zhou asked him to stay:
"Well, let's stay and have a drink together. It's too boring to drink alone these days."
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Li Qing's face became even brighter. It was truly a double happiness today. Not only did I successfully refine the first magic weapon in my life, but I also finally made this eccentric old miner relent.
“Hey, Senior Zhou, you don’t know something. To drink this winter plum wine, you have to pair it with some braised food.”
Li Qing said with a look The expert's attitude gave guidance, and then he took out plates of braised vegetables from the storage bag with a smile.
Braised pig head meat, sauce-braised beef, spicy braised beef heart, and red braised donkey meat were all brought out one after another, and the aroma was overflowing.
The secret recipe for these stewed vegetables was naturally stolen by a thief in the Shengtian Taoyuan Restaurant. It happened to be the area where the Liu family lived, and these things were all available, and the raw materials were easy to find.
While replenishing daily necessities, Li Qing also prepared some meat for today.
Obviously, this old miner who is addicted to cultivation has not tasted such a dish for a long time.
He directly grabbed a braised pig's trotter and ate it with a big mouthful: "I didn't expect that your kid can actually cook."
Li Qing took the initiative to pour the wine and said modestly: "I was used to crawling around in the world, so I naturally learned a skill. How about Senior Zhou, how do these dishes made by me when I was young taste like?"
Senior Zhou drank the wine in the cup without saying a word, and then happily continued to nibble on the pig's trotters full of collagen, not to mention how fragrant it was.
"Well, not bad, have you considered becoming a spiritual chef or something?"
"On the way to cultivation, you will definitely not be able to go far just by working in mining. You have to master a skill that can travel around the world.”
The old miner was obviously in a good mood today and was willing to chat with Li Qing.
"I have had this idea, but not long after I first entered the world of immortality, I still want to accumulate some spiritual stones. Then I will decide which craft I want to learn." Li Qing said truthfully.
Senior Zhou nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, you are pretty good, I like you very much."
"You always come here to deliver wine these days, you It must be because of what happened in the mine, right?"
Li Qing didn't hide anything, he admitted straightforwardly: "Please enlighten me, senior!"
Seeing that Li Qing was so cheerful, he didn't show any hesitation. , as generous as if he was not asking for help from others, the old miner laughed and said:
"Hahahaha, you have a good temper and a thick skin. You look like the kind of person who can live a long time."
"Well, I don't have anything else in my life that can make others think about me. At this point, my experience in the mines is worthy of praise, so it doesn’t hurt to tell you everything.”
Li Qing pricked up his ears, not wanting to miss a word, and waited quietly.
“The mine is in the far west of Cuiling. The Liu family has a secret passage. Before departure, the Liu family will provide everyone with a spiritual horse. It will take about a day and a half to complete the mine. We have arrived at our destination.”
“The spirit stone veins belong to the Shang Sect. We are only helping to mine them, but we must not be greedy for ink or borrow the mined spirit stones for cultivation.”

"There used to be some monster beasts in that area. After so many years, the mine has become much peaceful. At most, there are some soul-eating lizards that are not monster beasts living in it."
"If so. If you catch one, it can be used as a snack during the boring mining days."
"In fact, some accompanying spiritual materials are occasionally mined in the spirit stone mine."
"It seems to have been three or four years ago, right? I remember someone excavated a piece of black mica iron, and there was a lot of commotion at that time."
"I heard that that thing is the best in refining. It is the main material of magic weapons and even some magic weapons use it as an auxiliary material! ”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! But in the end, that person was handed over to the monks of the Shangzong and received a lot of rewards."
Li Qing listened with his eyes twinkling.
As a weapon-refining apprentice, he naturally knows how precious the spiritual materials in the world of immortality are, and they are all indispensable for weapon-refining.
"Well, after saying this, let me briefly tell you how to prospect for minerals."
