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

Chapter 159: The Spiritual Insect Belongs to Him, Li Hu Enters Taoism (First Update)
After the newly born Green Pearl Rice Elf Bug was given to Li Lang by Li Qing, he did not plan to keep the other Rainbow Cliff Rice Elf Bug for himself.

This insect belongs to the fire element, which overlaps with Azao. As for the same kind of spirit insect, as Xiaolian did to Chaoyin, it takes a lot of extra effort to cultivate it.

He used his spiritual consciousness to directly call Li Wei, Li Zhao and Li Ying, and pointed at Li Lang and said: "Before I established my foundation, I only accepted the three of you as my personal disciples to inherit my alchemy mantle."

"Li Lang has made some progress in his practice of 'The True Explanation of Qingmu's Prolonging Life'. He has both talent and diligence in the field of spiritual plants. I have always admired him, and today I will accept him as my disciple."

Li Qing paused, and then continued, "When I accepted disciples last time, I had not decided on the order of seniority, and I still had some intention of observing them. Now, a year has passed, and the seating arrangement in the alchemy room is exactly the same as it was that day."

"From now on, Li Wei will be my eldest disciple, followed by Li Zhao, Li Ying, and Li Lang in that order. If there are more disciples in the future, they will also be ranked according to the order in which they joined."

Li Wei, Li Lang and the other three looked at each other and bowed to Li Qing together: "We pay our respects to our Master! May our Master's immortal path prosper forever!"

Afterwards, the four brothers greeted each other again.

Li Qing waited for them to finish their greetings before pointing to the spirit insect in the jade box and saying, "I planted spirit rice last time, and today I am glad to get the spirit insect, which is of the fire element, just right for an alchemist."

"You three have long been among the first-class mid-level alchemists. You will refine a furnace of nourishing spirit pills on the spot. The winner will be the destined person of this spirit insect."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhao and Li Wei couldn't help but rub their hands together and look at each other, as if there was a flash of lightning in their eyes.

In comparison, Li Ying was less determined to win and had a much calmer attitude.

In order to test them, Li Qing did not let Li Wei and Li Zhao use the alchemy furnace and alchemy fire that he had given them. Instead, he ordered people to fetch the tribe's standard alchemy furnaces and distribute them randomly.

As for the elixir fire, it was also cultivated by the three people.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo..." Three alchemy furnaces simultaneously emitted blazing fires, and spiritual materials were thrown in, baking out medicinal fragrance.

Li Wei's Dan Huo seemed very lively, changing and unpredictable. Some of the herbs were slightly burnt, while others were less burnt. When mixed together, they complemented each other.

Li Zhao's alchemy fire contained more medicinal essence. The flames licked the elixir in the furnace and quickly adjusted its medicinal properties to just right.

As for Li Ying's Dan Huo, it was much simpler. Basically, it only had the function of adjusting the temperature, but it was easy to control and would not cause any accidents.

Judging people by fire, and judging the elixir by people, the nourishing elixir that the three of them finally made did not surprise Li Qing.

Li Ying refined a furnace of pills in a plain and simple manner; while when Li Wei was collecting the pills at the end, the fire was not stable and he only got a furnace of dregs.

Only Li Zhao learned the lesson from the previous test and, with the help of Danhuo, he was steady and confident while also being flexible and agile, and all his achievements were of top quality.

Li Qing nodded slightly, without commenting, and handed the Rainbow Cliff Rice Elf Bug to Li Zhao: "It seems that you have the deepest connection with it, so sign the spiritual contract."

"Thank you for the reward, Master!" Li Zhao took it happily.

Under the witness of Li Qing, Li Lang and Li Zhao each took out talisman paper, bit their fingertips, drew the spiritual contract, and then ignited it with fire.

Soon, the spiritual bond was formed. The spirit insects from another world had a new bond master in the world of cultivation.

"Rustle..." Li Qing seemed to hear the rustling of leaves vaguely.

He had an idea in his mind and dismissed the four disciples, then immersed his mind in the depths of Taoism.

I saw two small fruits growing on the towering tree.

He felt it with his mind and knew that in the future, every time a spirit insect was born and recognized a master in the world of cultivation, a fruit would grow on this giant tree.

The two fruits immediately fell off the tree and appeared on Li Qing's spiritual platform, hanging on the big banyan tree formed by the tree shepherd's meditation method.

Li Qing returned his consciousness to the spiritual platform and explored it briefly before understanding its effect: "To breed guardian spirits and resist the invasion of foreign demons?"

Last time, the Flame Demon Dick followed the meditation method and invaded his spiritual platform. If it weren't for the magic-refining effect of the Taihao Palace visualization map, Li Qing would have almost encountered a disaster. If this fruit is hatched, it can be transformed into a guardian spirit that specializes in defeating foreign demons, and the risk of practicing meditation will be greatly reduced.

"Well, although it overlaps with the visualization diagram's effects, it's not bad to add another layer of protection."

It would take some time for the guardian spirit to be reborn, so Li Qing was not in a hurry. He continued to circulate his true energy and spiritual consciousness to refine the spiritual veins of Qinghe Valley.

*
At noon the next day, in front of the ancestral hall.

Witnessed by Li Qing, Li Hu and other children first paid homage to the Great Emperor Dayuan and then to their ancestors in the clan temple. After a solemn ceremony, they began to draw Qi into their bodies.

Li Hu was ranked first among the boys. He sat cross-legged in a very formal manner with his eyes slightly closed. A faint wind-like spiritual energy surrounded him, seeming quite impatient.

Clan leader Li Hui couldn't help but sigh: "This earth spirit root aptitude is really amazing!"

In comparison, Li Zhaoqian, Li Qingquan and the other twenty-two people with middle-grade spiritual roots need to practice their skills with all their strength to attract spiritual energy.

As for Li Ling'er, Li Yue'er and other eighteen people with low-grade spiritual roots, even if they practiced their skills with all their strength, the amount of spiritual energy they gathered was only limited.

Second Elder Li Fang shook his head: "Since ancient times, spiritual roots have been the most important thing in cultivation. Although I don't want to admit it, it is the general trend after all."

The great elder Li Yao looked worried as he looked at the disciples with inferior spiritual roots: "If you don't make progress in the cultivation of immortals, you will regress. I hope they won't regret it in the future..."

Li Qing smiled slightly: "Although spiritual roots are important, there are also many examples of people who can make up for their shortcomings with hard work and achieve success later in life. We will wait for the future."

While everyone was chatting and communicating, a whirlwind suddenly swept up in the field.

"So fast!" All the tribesmen watching the ceremony were shocked.

Li Qing pointed his finger and a ban was created to isolate Li Hu, preventing him from disturbing the other children.

Then a large amount of wind-attributed spiritual energy turned into a small vortex and poured into Li Hu in the center like a funnel.

Spiritual energy traveled throughout his body, opening up the acupoints and dredging his meridians. After a short while, all of his meridians, which were something ordinary warriors strived so hard to achieve, were opened up, and his mortal body was transformed.

Not long after, there was a slight sound in the darkness, and some shackles were broken. A mustard seed-sized Sumeru in the void quietly opened, which was Li Hu's Dantian.

The spiritual energy of Miluofeng swarmed in, being thoroughly refined here and bearing Li Hu's mark.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." The sound of wind followed, and a light green magical light permeated around Li Hu, which was his newly refined Huifeng magic power.

With his Dantian newly opened and his magic power already formed, Li Hu quickly opened his spiritual platform and generated spiritual consciousness with the help of these two.

"It was achieved in one step!" Third Elder Li Ye exclaimed, "The Earth Spiritual Root is truly incredible."

It should be understood that in order to draw Qi into the body, one needs to control the external spiritual energy with the mind and cleanse one's own mortal body, which is the most mentally taxing.

Most people with middle-grade spiritual roots, by the time they reach the stage where all their meridians are open, they are already exhausted and can only try their best to open their Dantian.

One must rest for at least half a month afterwards, until the magic power fills the dantian and resonates with the hidden spiritual consciousness, before one can induce resonance in the spiritual platform and open it.

For Li Hu, opening Dantian is easier than breathing, and opening Lingtai is as easy as drinking water. It is beyond everyone's imagination.

However, the fourth elder Li Yu discovered: "Hey, the technique that Xiao Huzi is practicing is not the ordinary Qingfeng Jue, right?"

Li Qing nodded slightly: "Well, I got the opportunity from his adoptive mother and cultivated Huifeng, so I used it as a guide to revise the "Huifeng Jue"."
