Chapter 163: The New Year Begins, the Birth of the Nine Mysterious Insects (First Update)
After the Great Cold comes the Beginning of Spring, which happens to fall on the first day of the first lunar month this year.

In this world, there is no custom of celebrating the New Year, but the first day of the first lunar month is still very important, symbolizing the beginning of a new year and the renewal of all things.

Influenced by Li Qing's spiritual vein, Qinghe Valley has already welcomed spring. The trees are green, the weeds are blooming, the birds are returning, and the scene is full of vitality.

The entire Li family, presided over by Li Hui and led by Li Qing, visited the Li Ancestral Hall. Without too many celebrations, everyone dispersed.

Li Qing returned to the cave and was about to prepare a table for dinner to give himself a sense of ritual when he suddenly sensed something.

"Ah! What a coincidence! It can be considered a chance encounter."

He stood up slowly, called Asun, and rode the wind to the sacred peak where the Jiuxuan fruit trees were planted.

After Liu Yuan brought the title deed to Lingfeng, Li Qing went to Xuan Palace and exchanged for a new mountain protection formation to properly protect the two spiritual peaks.

Li Qing activated the cardinal talisman and entered the magic circle, then saw Li Wei squatting next to the Jiuxuan fruit tree.

Under Li Qing's guidance, Li Wei took good care of the fruit tree.

The other saplings were only two feet tall, but the Jiuxuan fruit tree and Cordyceps sinensis were already over three feet tall.

Ah Sun had always been close to Li Wei. After not seeing her for a long time, he began to miss her. He used the mist around him as support and flew to her: "Aiya!"

"A Sun, you are here too!" Li Wei came back to her senses and gently pinched its pair of antlers and dragon horns.

Ah Sun coiled his tail around Li Wei's wrist, lowered his head curiously, and looked towards the roots of the Jiuxuan Fruit Tree: "Yeah?"

Li Qing also walked forward slowly and asked softly, "How is this Nine Mysterious Fruit Spirit Bug?"

Li Wei's face was filled with smiles: "I just sensed it with my spiritual sense and found that it has completely awakened and is accumulating strength to be born from the Cordyceps!"

Li Qing swept his spiritual sense gently and found that the elf insect had already taken shape.

It is also shaped like a silkworm, with a purple-black gradient color, nine silver spots on its back, and a small fruit embedded on its forehead.

At this time, the elf insect's chest expanded and contracted, constantly breathing in the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Finally, it opened its eyes, shook its head and tail, stretched itself, and then with a light jump, it appeared on a green leaf of the fruit tree.

Similar to the Qingzhu Rice and Hongya Rice elf insects bred in the Li family's spiritual fields, the noise caused by its birth was also minimal, unlike the elf world where spiritual energy vortexes would be easily attracted.

"Ah!" It didn't even look at Li Qing, but just shook the little fruit on its forehead towards Li Wei, looking quite cute.

Li Wei turned her head and looked at Li Qing: "Uncle, this elf insect..."

Li Qing smiled and waved his hand: "I have already said it before, this Nine Mysterious Fruit Spirit Bug will belong to you. Please sign the spiritual contract."

His foundation of Taoism was already established, and he established his Taoism with the three elements of water, wood and fire. Although the Nine Mysterious Fruit Spirit Bug was of high quality, it was of little use to him. Giving it to Li Wei could make it more useful.

"Thank you, uncle!" Li Wei took out the talisman paper, wrote the spiritual contract with her essence and blood, and ignited it with fire.

Then a mysterious light was seen entering into the fruit on the elf insect's forehead, flashing a bright red light, and then disappearing.

"Ah!" There was a sense of intimacy in the elf insect's cry.

Li Wei stretched out her hand, and it jumped on it, rolled over, and looked particularly relaxed.

Ah Sun raised his head from Li Wei's wrist and looked at the newborn curiously: "Aiya!"

The Nine Mysterious Fruit Elf Bug was not afraid either. Instead, it came closer and rubbed Ah Sun's antlers: "Ah!"

Li Wei watched them interacting while thinking of a name: "From now on, your name will be Jiuxuan."

The elf insect nodded, turned its head and shrank the three-foot-tall Cordyceps into dust, opened its small mouth and swallowed it into its stomach: "Ah!"

Li Qing smiled and instructed: "You activate the spiritual contract, store it in your dantian, and then practice the exercises. I think it will have miraculous effects!" Li Wei did as she was told, and under Li Qing's protection, she practiced "The True Explanation of Qingmu's Life Extension".

The Qingmu Dharma Light was bright and clear, flowing around her body endlessly. A large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathered together and was absorbed and refined by Li Wei, turning into Qingmu magic power.

After a while, Li Wei opened her eyes happily, and after thinking for a while, she said with certainty: "My cultivation speed has increased by nearly 50%!"

She casually picked up a ray of magic light and transformed it into the appearance of a Nine Profound Fruit Tree with the "Magic Spirit": "My magic power seems to also carry some of the meaning of the Nine Profound Fruit."

"The eight changes of cold and heat, dry and wet, dark and bright, life and death make my magic power even more unpredictable, and more powerful when used in battles."

Li Qing scanned the area with his spiritual sense and said with a smile, "You are currently only tainted with the Dao rhyme of the Nine Mysterious Fruit, so your power is limited."

“If you can use the spirit insect as a guide and understand the changes in it, maybe after building your foundation, you can use it to cultivate a small magical power.”

Li Wei was stunned: "Building a foundation? Our Li family has been established for 600 years, and there is only one person like you. Can I have such good fortune?"

Li Qing laughed: "The bigger your heart is, the bigger your world is. With a superior method to practice and the spirit insects to cultivate their lives, what does building a foundation mean to you?"

Ah Sun was also there, cheering her on: "Yeah!"

Li Wei thought so too, and secretly upgraded her cultivation goal from advancing to the ninth level of Qi training and becoming a family elder to building a Taoist foundation and becoming the patriarch of the family.

She concentrated her mind again and found something wrong: "Uncle, my cultivation path seems to have been affected by Jiuxuan. What should I do?"

Even though Li Qing paid great attention to Jiuxuan, he had never expected that it was so powerful.

It should be noted that when Asun tried to influence the operation of Qingmu Jue, there was no result after several months, and it was Qingmu Xuying who made the final push.

Now the Nine Mysterious Fruit Elf Bug can be said to have an immediate effect.

The innate difference between the elf insects born from the rare spiritual fruit Jiuxuan Fruit and the ordinary vegetable lettuce is too great.

Li Qing was thinking about something, but he still comforted Li Wei: "Don't worry, this is a good thing. The Aoki Yanmei Zhenjie is not a standard."

"Through the practice of sex and life, the skills can be transformed into the most suitable form for you. This is the charm of the spirit insect."

Li Qing waited until Li Wei had had enough fun before letting her plant the Jiuxuan fruit trees and Cordyceps sinensis back to their original locations.

After the fruit tree turned into Cordyceps sinensis, it seemed to have become psychic. It spontaneously extended its roots into the spiritual energy nodes and used them as springboards to extend its life to other spiritual energy nodes.

At the same time, Jiuxuan also jumped out from his Dantian, and attracted the Cordyceps without any instruction, emitting strange fluctuations.

Soon, the other Jiuxuan fruit trees were affected by it, and they swayed gently, and the few leaves made rustling sounds.

Li Qing scanned with his spiritual sense and found that the minor ailments on the trees were being cured without medication under the treatment of the elf insects and Cordyceps.

Driven by Cordyceps, the speed at which they extend their root systems and sprout new shoots is also slowly increasing.

He told Li Wei, "The spirit insects have the ability to stimulate the growth of spirit plants of the same kind. From now on, you should stay at this spiritual peak and take care of these fruit trees with Jiuxuan."

Li Wei nodded and said solemnly: "I will definitely live up to my uncle's expectations. Just wait and see, in three years, these trees will be full of fruits."

Li Qing laughed heartily: "Then I'll be waiting for this day."

The Jiuxuan fruit tree holds a very important position in Yanling Valley. The three-year-old fruit can be used as a supplementary medicine for the foundation-building pill.

As for the magical uses of the older Nine Mysterious Fruit, Yanling Valley has always kept it a secret.

But this aroused Li Qing's curiosity: "Hey, when the fruits are ripe, why not leave a few more on the tree and let them continue to grow to see what the mystery is."
