Chapter 4 Liao Zhang

The Lingmi tax issue has finally come to an end.

Qin Ming no longer has to worry about going to the front line for the time being.

“This time we must strive to break through to the third level of the Qi training stage!”

In a quiet cabin.

Qin Ming sat on the straw futon on the bed, eyes slightly closed, holding Yuan Shouyi in his arms, holding a low-grade spiritual stone in his hand, whose spiritual charm was quickly becoming dim.

In a moment.

The spiritual energy in the spiritual stone was gradually absorbed by him.

Qin Ming opened his eyes and looked a little ugly.

With just a gentle squeeze, the spirit stone in his hand turned into a pile of powder.

“Hey, using spiritual stones to practice is a complete waste to me.”

“It’s a bit of a waste.”

In the world of cultivating immortals, the external spiritual energy between heaven and earth, as well as the spiritual energy in spiritual stones, are equivalent to being wild.

It is chaotic and complex, and low-level immortal cultivators cannot directly control it.

If you want to turn it into your own magic power, you need to absorb it through the spiritual roots of the monks and continue to use your power to transform it.

Tame the external aura and turn it into your own mana.

The level of spiritual root qualifications directly affects the efficiency of this absorption and transformation.

Qin Ming shook his head.

“The words are still good.”

The ‘weak mana’ in the entry does not need to be absorbed and refined through spiritual roots, he can use it directly.

This time, he was going to use two ‘weak mana’ entries to try to break through.

“Two ‘weak magic power’ entries are equivalent to half a year of hard work for me.”

He calmed down and got rid of distracting thoughts.

Qin Ming thought a little, and the first ‘weak magic power’ entry was used.

Even though Qin Ming was used to it, when the continuous flow of mana came in, it still caught him off guard.

Under the guidance of his “Changchun Gong”, the surging magic power began to circulate in the body.

It flows around endlessly and returns to Dantian.

“Changchun Gong” was passed down from Qin Ming’s immortal cultivating family. It is not a profound skill, it is just a common practice.

The main purpose is to maintain health, the Qi pulse is long, the power is mediocre, and the cultivation is as slow as a turtle.

But it also has advantages, that is, after practicing this technique to a high level, it has a certain effect of prolonging life.

As a person who majors in martial arts training, he has a little more longevity and mana than monks of the same level.

If you switch to other exercises midway, it will be ineffective.

This is quite in line with Qin Ming’s temperament.

‘Isn’t it nice to plant fields, raise grass, refresh your mind and energy, and return to the embrace of nature? ’

‘If you have to fight and kill, you fight for it, but in the end it’s all in vain, alas…’

But that’s what it says.

Over the years, Qin Ming has a different understanding of this.

The resources of the entire world of cultivating immortals are so limited.

Resources such as techniques, artifacts, spiritual materials, elixirs, etc. are all controlled by famous sects.

Large sects and immortal cultivators are forced to eat meat, while “casual cultivators” can’t even drink soup, so they can only survive in the cracks.

Unless you are a genius.

If not, if you don’t go up, it will be difficult to make any progress on the path to immortality.

Even a cultivating sect like Lingyu Sect did not hesitate to use their entire sect’s strength to cross unimaginable distances and come all the way here to open up wasteland.

Aren’t they all for cultivation resources? …

Qin Ming used an entry for ‘weak magic power’.

But his faintly loosened bottleneck still didn’t respond.

His brows were furrowed and his expression was serious.

I was cruel and continued to use up the remaining ‘weak magic power’ entry.

a long time.

Two consecutive ‘weak mana’ entries were exhausted.

But still no breakthrough.

“Oh, this is the gap in qualifications and talents!”

“The peak of the second level during the Qi training period.”

Qin Ming is still a little behind the third level of Qi training stage.

“If it were anyone else, including the mana provided by the previous ‘weak mana’ entry, they would have already broken through.”

However, Qin Ming was not discouraged.

If you had practiced step by step in the past, you wouldn’t have known when there would be any movement.

The current situation is much better than before.

Although there was no breakthrough in his cultivation this time, his Qi Sea Dantian was greatly broadened.

The mana in his body has also increased by one-third compared to before.

And now he is almost there, but it will take some time.

‘We can’t go on like this, we have to adjust our thinking. ’

‘When the animal tooth rice is cultivated, maybe you can try the body refining technique first? ’

‘However, with my current level of spiritual cultivation, planting animal tooth rice probably requires the entry of ‘ripening’, otherwise it is difficult to say whether it will succeed. ’

‘If it fails and the mother seed of beast teeth and rice is wasted, then the gain outweighs the loss. ’

Qin Ming thought about it again and again.

I already have a calculation in my mind.

Stop the work and get up to cook.

After breakfast.

Qin Ming went out and came to Qingyangfang City again.

Juxuan Pavilion.

It is still the same shop located in the center of the city. In addition to the restaurant operating on the first and second floors, there are also many other businesses on the floors above.

I think those who can operate in this kind of position will not have too bad connections behind them.

The shopkeeper’s surname was Liao. When he saw Qin Ming, he showed a standard professional smile.

Qin Ming was also straightforward. When he patted the storage bag, two large bags of spiritual rice appeared on the ground in front of him.

Shopkeeper Liao was quite surprised that Qin Ming could take out so much spiritual rice at once.

That’s a whole bag more than last time.

As far as he knew, the tax rate levied by Lingyu Sect on these spiritual farmers was 70%. Based on this calculation, it basically meant that the young spiritual farmer in front of him had harvested at least eight stones of spiritual rice this season.

It is enough to prove the opponent’s spiritual cultivation level.

Only those more experienced spiritual farmers can achieve such a large output.

Otherwise, Lingzhi’s talent and attainments are quite high.

If it’s the latter, it might be possible to advance to become a first-level spiritual planter in the future.

The clerk in the store has completed the acceptance and weighing.

Shopkeeper Liao had a warm smile on his face, and at the same time, he slightly raised his opinion of the status of Qin Ming, a low-level spiritual farmer.

“A total of two hundred and twenty kilograms of golden spirit rice.”

“Fellow Daoist Qin, as per the old rules, here are forty-four spiritual stones.”

“Can I see if there is anything I need to buy in our store?”

“This store has everything you need. Whatever you need, we can satisfy you.”

Qin Ming had already prepared.

He took out a drawing from his pocket, which showed the shape of a small bell. He then handed it to Shopkeeper Liao and said, “I want to customize a small bell like this and see if it is possible.”

“Of course, Fellow Daoist Qin, this is probably a special spiritual bell used to perform the Beast Exorcism Technique, right?”

“We have an exclusive weapon refining shop, which happens to be in stock.”

“A low-grade magic weapon, a beast rings a bell, and I will inherit ten spiritual stones.”

A palm-sized spiritual bell appeared in Shopkeeper Liao’s hand. He handed it to Qin Ming with a smile and introduced: “When used in conjunction with the Beast Exorcism Technique, it will shrink and expand on its own.”

“So cheap?”

The price was a bit beyond his expectation. Originally, he was planning to bleed a lot.

“Haha, fellow Daoist Qin doesn’t know something. The key to this beast-driving technique lies in the mastery of the spell. This bell is just an auxiliary prop.”

“I would like to remind fellow Daoist Qin that this beast driving technique is extremely difficult to practice.”

“Many monks in the Lingyu Sect Battle Camp have customized this object before, but only a few have fully mastered it.”

Qin Ming understood what he meant.

To put it bluntly, no one buys it.

If you fail to practice the magic technique, the special spiritual bell will become a decoration, wasting spiritual stones and losing blood.

But for Qin Ming, there is no question of whether he can practice it or not. He paid ten spiritual stones, took the spiritual bell, and then asked.

“Is there any elixir that can improve your cultivation during the Qi training period?”

Qin Ming was still a little unwilling to give up on not breaking through the third level of Qi training stage.

“Yes, please move to the third floor.”

After a while.

Qin Ming walked out of the store with a normal expression.

He carries forty spiritual stones but cannot spend them.

Because the cultivation-improving elixirs on the third floor were priced at a minimum of sixty spirit stones, shopkeeper Liao enthusiastically sent Qin Ming out of the store.

……

On the way back.

Qin Ming took the opportunity to pay a visit to the supervisor Du Haifu and planned to rent another acre of spiritual land.

With his current cultivation level and limited energy, five or six acres of land is already his limit.

“Oh, Xiao Qin is here?”

“You’re too late.”

“Not long ago, there was no spiritual field left on the mountain, and all of it had been rented out!” Du Haifu took a sip of tea and told him the news unhurriedly.

!!!

Qin Ming thought to himself.

“It’s not good! It’s exactly what I expected.”

“I’m afraid everyone will have to work hard for the production of spiritual rice next year.”
