The immortals of the two worlds started from farming and refining pills.

Chapter 11 Planning the Hilltop and Building the Foundation

Half a month has passed since the day Li Zhe sent a letter informing him that Yanling Valley was interested in renting out the hills around Xuefeng Lake.

Li Hui finally contacted the manager of Yanling Valley here, and rented a villa with the best location and the highest concentration of spiritual energy at the cost of 13,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Twelve thousand of the spirit stones were for renting the land, and the other one thousand were for personnel fees for the manager.

Fortunately, it was all worth it.

After all, according to the family's calculations, these twelve thousand spirit stones can generate at least three thousand spirit stones of income every year in the next ten years, and the investment can be recovered in just four years.

What's more, the Li family also has Li Qing, a skilled spiritual plant master, so the planting income will be higher. If the elixir is refined, the profit can be doubled again.

As soon as he got the lease, Li Hui sent a letter, asking Li Qing to take a few clansmen to inspect the leased mountain.

"Uncle, this Yanling Valley is too stingy. Not even a blade of grass is left!" Looking at the bare hill ahead, Li Wei was a little dumbfounded.

Li Qing was also speechless. After a long while, he finally managed to say, "At least they didn't shovel away the spiritual soil on the ground..."

The mountain in front of us extends outward to the Xuefeng Lake. The spiritual energy it receives is very abundant, no less than a first-level spiritual vein. However, it is not possible to open up a cave for cultivation, so its value is slightly inferior.

The usable area of ​​the hill is about 120 acres.

The slope is gentle on the side close to Xuefeng Lake, while the slope is steep and high on the other side, with even a small cliff.

Li Qing used the wind control technique to fly into the air and had a panoramic view of the surrounding terrain. He already had an idea of ​​the types of spiritual plants to be planted in the future.

After landing on the top of the mountain, he casually asked his fellow tribesmen: "In your opinion, what kind of crops are suitable for this mountain?"

Li Wei thought for a moment and said, "In the area near Xuefeng Lake, there is plenty of rain in the summer, so we can grow a season of red crystal rice. When the lake is covered with snow in the winter, we can use straw as a substrate and grow a season of purple mist matsutake mushrooms."

Red Crystal Rice and Purple Mist Matsutake are both relatively popular, first-grade lower-grade spiritual plants with slightly higher value.

The red crystal rice contains a trace of fire spiritual energy. Long-term consumption can not only help with spiritual practice, but also temper the practitioner's body.

Purple Mist Matsutake is both a medicine and a food. One of its ingredients has the magical effect of nourishing spiritual consciousness, and it even appears in the recipe of some foundation-building pills.

Li Qing glanced at her and said, "You copied the layout of Yanling Valley, didn't you have any ideas of your own?"

Li Wei thought for a while, but still insisted: "I've thought about it, but I can't come up with a better plan. Yanling Valley is a big sect, and their approach is certainly worth learning from."

The other people also agreed. They were all members of the tribe who wanted to become spiritual plant masters, and they also understood this.

Li Qing shook his head helplessly: "What Yanling Valley did was of course correct. But growing red crystal rice requires Yanjing stone fragments. This thing is not valuable, but our Li family does not have the channels to purchase in large quantities."

He paused and said, "Purple Mist Matsutake is also a good product. But it's a pity that it takes a lot of effort to grow. If you don't have three or five first-class spiritual plant masters at home, don't even think about it."

"Ah! I see." Li Wei nodded in annoyance, "Thank you for your teachings, uncle."

She had actually grown these two spiritual plants before, and she didn't find them difficult. But she had never thought about growing them on a large scale, as the conditions would be completely different.

Li Qing said in a gentle voice, "You are still young now, and most of the resources for cultivation are provided by your family. You are still inexperienced, so it's not your fault if you can't think of it."

Several young people couldn't help but blush and gathered together to brainstorm.

Finally, Li Lang, a 30-year-old junior who was at the second level of Qi Refining, gave an answer that satisfied Li Qing.

"We plant Heya rice in spring, Jinjing rice after summer harvest, and Pingyang mushroom after autumn harvest. The first two have high yields, while the latter is easy to care for."

These three are also relatively popular first-grade low-grade spiritual plants. Although their effects are not as good as the first two, they are more suitable for the actual situation of the Li family.

Li Qing smiled and nodded: "That's interesting. Yanling Valley has just finished its autumn harvest. If you want to grow Pingyang mushrooms, this area will be yours to take care of."

Upon hearing this, Li Lang accepted the offer without hesitation: "I will go to the market tomorrow to order some Pingyang mushroom strains."

Several other people also took on tasks such as composting, cultivating substrates, and germinating seeds.

Li Qing waited for them to complete the assignment and without giving any further instructions, he led them to continue exploring the mountain.

Under his deliberate guidance, one immature idea after another collided with each other, and then relatively feasible planting plans were given one after another.

"Plant two rows of Xuanyang fruit trees on the ridge. They have deep roots and won't be blown down by the wind. You can also plant some Linghuangjing under the trees." "On the steeper slope above, you can plant a patch of bitter tea trees. There are clouds and mists there, and the spiritual energy is dense, which is suitable for the growth of tea trees."

"On the cliff behind, we can plant some Dendrobium officinale and interplant it with the Blue Blood Vine. The harvest time of the two plants is just right to stagger."

Li Qing nodded with satisfaction: "Okay. Since you have already made a plan, let's go back first..."

Before he could finish his words, a bright sword light suddenly appeared in the blind spot of the cliff, like an antelope hanging on a horn, and aimed directly at Li Qing.

The sword light was clear and cold, and its might was far beyond that of the Qi Refining Stage. Its sharpness was so great that even shield and shield-type spells of the same Foundation Establishment Stage could not resist it in a hurry.

Before the sword light got close, a tribesman standing in front of Li Qing had a stiff face and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Li Qing didn't have time to think, his fingers were flying under his long sleeves, the true energy in his dantian was surging, and with one breath, he used a foundation-building spell: Qingmu Xuanguan!

A green light flew out from the fingertips, brushed against the tribesman's shoulder, and intertwined with the sword light that arrived in an instant, colliding with a loud "clang" sound.

Li Qing took a deep breath, and the power from his Dantian gushed out, sweeping away several tribesmen. He retreated to the back of the cliff, and then he said, "Who is this villain who stabbed me in the back?!"

What answered him was a pale fireball the size of a casserole flying from behind him, with an equally astonishing momentum.

Li Qing's mind raced, and he made several finger gestures in his sleeves, mobilizing the true energy in his dantian to the limit. He cast another foundation-building spell: Thunder and lightning!

With a loud "boom", a spherical lightning of the same size as the fireball came from behind and exploded with the fireball.

For a moment, tongues of fire and snakes of electricity intertwined and splashed everywhere, accidentally injuring several members of the Li clan.

Two loud noises in succession stirred up turbulent air currents, causing several people with lesser cultivation to bleed from their mouths and noses, seriously injuring them.

Li Qing was shocked and angry. He kept making hand gestures with his fingers in his sleeves and shouted, "Where did you come from, you rat? You only dare to shoot arrows from behind?"

The only response he got was silence.

Li Qing did not dare to take it lightly, and secretly used another foundation-building spell: Heaven sees and earth hears. For a moment, he could see everything that happened on the entire hill.

About thirty feet east of the cliff, two people were using talismans to cover themselves. They gathered together and hid in the shadow of another hill.

The conversation between the two also reached Li Qing's ears.

"Didn't they say that Li Qing spent all his money on the foundation-building pill? How come he still has a second-level talisman?"

"Could it be that Li Zhe sent him back to the Li family?"

"Then do you still want to play? I only have one card in my hand..."

Before the two of them could come up with a plan, Li Qing, who knew where the enemy was hiding, had already launched an attack.

Accompanied by two loud "booms", two balls of blue-purple spherical lightning flew out from his sleeves at the same time, drawing two unpredictable trajectories.

"He actually has it!" The two men couldn't help but feel jealous and were about to laugh at Li Qing for being so blind and foolish that he wasted two precious second-level talismans.

Unexpectedly, the two lightning balls turned a corner and accelerated towards them.

"No, hurry up and use it..."

"Bang-bang——" After two loud noises, the surroundings returned to silence again.

The spell of seeing and hearing with heaven was about to end. Li Qing took a last look over there and saw only broken bodies and arms scattered on the ground.

How can a second-level talisman that can only be aimed and activated compare to a genuine foundation-building spell?

Li Qing was sweating all over, and his hair stood on end and it took him a long time to calm down.

He took a long breath and looked towards the direction where the two people were just now. "I don't know who is so bold as to come and plot against a small cultivator like me who is at the ninth level of Qi Refining?"

Thinking of the battle just now, he gnashed with hatred: there were only about twenty drops of true energy in total, and a quarter of it was gone in an instant, it was a huge loss!
