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

Chapter 12: Income is not enough to cover expenses, test the apprentice
Now that the enemy had surrendered, Li Qing calmed down from the shock of the surprise attack and took out a few bottles of medicine from his sleeve and distributed them: "Rest where you are and heal your wounds first."

Among those who came with him this time, only Li Wei had reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, while the others were at the early stage of Qi Refining.

Even though the Foundation Establishment Stage's skills didn't hit them directly, they still affected them. Except for Li Wei, they were all seriously injured.

Li Qing took out a communication talisman and sent it to the Li family. A quarter of an hour later, the second elder Li Fang and the third elder Li Ye hurried over.

"We were careless." Li Fang wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I thought the news of Li Zhe's foundation building could suppress those two families."

Li Ye also said: "You'd better not go out until this dispute is resolved."

Li Qing understood that as a top-grade first-class alchemist and spiritual plant master, he was probably one of the most prioritized among foreign enemies.

It was just that several elders had gone out before and had not encountered any danger. He himself, like his clan members, was confused by the two families' actions to stop fighting.

"Fortunately, I still had a few second-level talismans in my hand. I caught them off guard and killed them."

Li Qing also dared to come out and wander around because he had the trump card of foundation-building magic.

Now that he had won the fight and had a clear path ahead of the two men, it was natural for him to collect the spoils.

After leaving the tribesmen in the care of the two elders, Li Qing used his wind-controlling skills to fly to where the two men were hiding.

The ground was littered with charred body parts, emitting a foul smell.

Li Qing cast a Qingfeng spell on his mouth and nose, then squatted down to pick and choose.

The storage bag of one of them was damaged, and first-level spiritual rice, talismans, pills, and two first-level magical instruments fell to the ground. They were all stained with blood, which made Li Qing frown.

The other person's storage bag was intact. Li Qing opened it and was surprised: "Wow, there's another second-level talisman?!"

He took it out and found that it was an upgraded version of the Qi Refining Spell Qingmu Shield, and its defensive ability was quite good.

"I spent five foundation-building spells to get a second-level talisman..." Li Qing felt a little painful, "I've lost a lot this time."

However, considering that those who can hold the second-level talisman should also be high-level in the enemy, killing and injuring the enemy's manpower is also a good use of the arithmetic.

He used a stream of water to wash away the blood on the spoils, then wrapped the charred heads of the two men with cloth and flew to the top of the mountain with the wind.

"Whoosh——" A raging flame burned from the ground and soon burned the remains of the two people into ashes.

Li Fang came forward and asked with concern: "Did you find anything?"

Li Qing handed him the two heads and said, "They are both at the ninth level of Qi Refining. They probably have high status in those two families. Go back and use the tracing spell to see if you can identify them."

"Then you have done a great deed this time." Li Fang said with a bitter face, "That's right, the five second-level talismans you used probably belong to the family of..."

Li Zhe had just entered the stage of foundation building and needed resources to consolidate his realm. How could he have any extra second-level talismans to send back home?
Li Qing also knew that his family was having a hard time, so he didn't care: "It's okay, just remember it for now. When you are well-off, you can fulfill it later."

After that, he distributed the spoils to the injured tribesmen, and only kept the second-level talisman and a few magic tools for himself: "Here, take it to calm your nerves. Go back and have a good rest."

So the group hastily ended their investigation of the mountain and returned to Qinghe Valley.

Li Hui's face turned pale as he looked at the two unrecognizable heads. "I was wondering why the two families took the initiative to propose signing a truce agreement? It turns out they were the first to do it."

The great elder Li Yao snorted coldly: "You failed to steal the chicken, but you lost the rice. Let me use the tracing magic to find out who the two old friends are." As the person involved, Li Qing didn't care: "The truce contract should be signed. The mountaintop of Yanling Valley is isolated after all. If they make trouble every now and then, our life will not be easy."

"But no matter what, both families must give an explanation." Li Yao's expression was gloomy, "We must make them bleed heavily!"

Let's put this aside for now. Li Qing then presented the planting plan: "A total of fifteen kinds of spiritual plants. Li Lang is good at planning, and Li Wei is good at planting. They can be trained well as spiritual plant masters."

Li Hui took the jade slip from his hand and said, "Well, you just need to keep a close eye on it. Once the deed is signed, the clan can start planting according to this."

The few of them discussed several other matters.

After Li Qing fully expressed his opinions, he returned to the cave leisurely.

Li Wei returned to her cave to recuperate, while Asun was now sleeping soundly on the Cordyceps.

Li Qing was extremely bored, so he simply sent a communication talisman to call Li Zhao, Li Wei and others over to test their progress in refining the elixir.

"Greetings, Fourth Elder." Several people bowed to him together, then took out the pills they had refined and handed them to him for tasting.

"This Qingling Powder was cooked a little too long. It looks white as snow, but if you smell it carefully, it actually smells burnt. It makes you upset and doesn't clear your stomach. It's unqualified."

"The medicinal properties of this Pei Yuan Pill are not integrated enough, so you are in a hurry to collect the pill? You need to be patient. It can barely be fed to the black pig beast. Don't let others eat it."

"There is nothing wrong with the preparation of this healing medicine. But there is a problem with the medicinal materials. The bone-eating grass has been mixed into the bone-calcining grass. It is poisonous! First, copy the "Compendium of Materia Medica" with the pictures."

Li Qing's merciless criticism made several apprentices feel a little unhappy.

When it was Li Zhao's turn, Li Qing smiled a little, "This box of Qingling Powder is quite well-made."

He dipped a little with his index finger and put it in his mouth to taste: "Its color is clear, its aura is spiritual, and taking it can improve hearing and eyesight. I was at this level back then."

"Thank you Uncle Qing for the compliment." Li Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Qing handed the medicine box back to him: "You can go find the Great Elder later. You can send the refined Qingling Powder to Qinghe Market for sale."

Although Li Qing teaches skills to the entire clan, he currently only teaches the basics. Most of the people who come to listen to his lectures are young people with lively personalities.

As soon as these words came out, the others all looked at Li Zhao with envy: "Wow, Zhao, you can earn spirit stones now."

Li Zhao smiled bitterly and scratched his head: "I have to refine three boxes to make one. If I sell it at the market price, it's just enough to cover my investment."

Li Qing smiled and comforted him: "Practice makes perfect. The more you practice, the higher your success rate will be."

After that, he took out the elixir that Li Wei had made: "Huiling Pill? I haven't demonstrated this recipe before. The recipe is pretty much the same..."

Li Wei nodded nervously: "Yes, but the several alchemy techniques you taught can all be used here. So I tried it."

"You are quite opinionated." Li Qing took a pill, crushed it, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, then burned it with Dan fire.

"Your pills are not ready for sale yet. But it's fine for you to eat them yourself." He shook his head. "It's good to have a thorough understanding, but for now, just do it one by one."
