Chapter 192: The Four Seasons Follow Your Heart, Jiazi Roars the Dragon (First Update)
Seeing Li Qing looking at him, Sang Yuwan laughed and told the visitor what he was most concerned about today.

"I have heard for a long time that the blessed land of caves is where immortals live. This time, Fellow Daoist Li has achieved the realm of earthly immortals and has a chance to be promoted to the blessed land. What is the mystery behind this? Why don't you tell me a little bit about it?"

Niu Xinjing also said: "That's right! In my Great Zhou Kingdom, there are only two blessed places now, and there are not many earthly immortal realms either."

"Friend Li Dao has accumulated such a great foundation today, so you should fulfill your duties as a host and let us learn from you."

Fan Shuyun and the other two ancestors of the foundation-building families all spoke in agreement.

Suddenly, the atmosphere of the banquet became lively again.

Li Qing smiled and said, "I don't know much about the way of earthly immortals, but I have learned some skills, which is why I have achieved so much."

"As far as I know, due to the different cultivation methods, the achieved earthly immortal realms and even blessed lands will also have different gods and wonders. I dare not say anything else, but my Qinghe Valley has its own wonders."

As he spoke, he toasted to all the great foundation-building monks present, then stood up and left his seat: "I am not good at speaking, so why don't you all follow me and see for yourself?"

Sang Yuwan clapped his hands and laughed: "This is wonderful!"

Then all the great foundation-building monks stood up one after another, followed Li Qing, and left the main hall where the banquet was held.

Seeing that Li Qing did not stop them, the other Qi-cultivating monks who came to congratulate followed behind silently.

A blessed land has its own myriad of uses. As the prototype of a blessed land, the Earthly Immortal Realm is also extraordinary.

However, most of them are secrets, which are the foundation of the Li family's survival and should not be disclosed to outsiders.

The areas that Li Qing took them to visit were all areas where they could share with others and even achieve cooperation.

As the first stop, Li Qing chose a spiritual field.

It was late autumn now. If the weather was right, the harvest of late rice should be coming to an end, and it was time to plant fungi.

However, in the spiritual field in front of him, there were still green spiritual rice seedlings, tender yet tough, as if unaffected by the changing seasons.

Li Qing introduced loudly: "The word 'blessed land' is most closely related to my spiritual plant practice."

"Look, everyone. The magical rice in this field has only recently sprouted. It is the spring and autumn rice that pays the most attention to the rotation of weather."

As soon as Li Qing said this, all the great foundation-building monks showed surprise on their faces, but none of them questioned it, and only used their spiritual sense to investigate carefully.

However, the Qi-cultivating monks who were following behind were a little surprised.

"How is this possible? Spring and autumn rice is most dependent on the timing. It is planted at the Spring Equinox and harvested at the Autumn Equinox. It can't be too late or too early. It's really strange that the rice seedlings are growing at this time!"

"Senior Li is a foundation-building master and the future master of the blessed land. How could he lie?"

"However, this spring and autumn rice shouldn't sprout at this time! How can the timing be messed up?"

Many cultivators in the late stage of Qi training were discussing the scene before them, and they all found it incredible.

It is true that the immortal monks usually talk the most about following the will of heaven, but they are actually the ones who pay the least attention to the natural cycle.

Although ordinary spiritual rice also has its best planting period, it is not difficult to eat out-of-season spiritual rice if you really use magic.

But this Spring and Autumn rice is different. Although it is only a second-grade low-quality spiritual rice, it is very complicated to grow.

In a year, it can only be planted on the Spring Equinox, pollinated on the Summer Solstice, and harvested on the Autumnal Equinox.

If sown at other times, the seeds will remain dormant and refuse to germinate.

If a cultivator uses magic to catalyze it, it will burn the embryo and destroy the bud, turning it into a dead seed. Even a Jindan Zhenren cannot overcome this.

After everyone had carefully examined it, Li Qing chuckled and introduced: "This is the first magical use of the Qinghe Valley Earth Immortal Realm, the four seasons follow your heart."

"For spiritual plants that have a certain planting schedule, this is a great opportunity. Just like Spring and Autumn rice, it can be planted every day of the year."

"However, this kind of magic is naturally incompatible with the spells and magical powers that accelerate ripening. If you use this magic to cultivate spiritual plants, you can only follow the growth cycle of the spiritual plants..."

In fact, this Spring and Autumn rice was just planted by Li Qing for experiment. What he really wanted to plant was the Water and Fire Spirit Rice, which was related to his Golden Elixir.

This rice can only be planted at the summer solstice and harvested at the winter solstice. It can only be planted once a year, which really wastes time.

If there are no problems with the Spring and Autumn Rice, Li Qing plans to expand the scale of the Water and Fire Spirit Rice with all his strength to lay a solid foundation for the future formation of the elixir.

Sang Yuwan pondered for a moment and asked, "Are they only suitable for spiritual plants that change with the four seasons? Are those spiritual plants that require a specific year, month and day to be planted possible?"

Li Qing smiled and said, "Brother Dao, what you are talking about is the Jia Zi Ming Long Mu that you brought out from the Huangsha Secret Realm, right?"

"It is said that this tree can only grow into a good material if it is planted on the Jiazi day of the Jiazi year and the Jiazi month, so that it can absorb the essence of time. Is this true?"

The Yellow Sand Secret Realm was the only second-level secret realm around Xuefeng Lake. Sang Yuwan's experience in the secret realm had been spread, and the news about the spiritual wood was naturally not concealed.

Of course, there is no need to hide it because there is no need.

Sang Yuwan sighed, "I was lucky to get this good tree back then. But now that the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches have been reset, it's no longer the right time for it to sprout."

Jiang Minghe, who was standing by, heard this and a look of regret flashed in his eyes: "Daoyou, you actually have such a spiritual seed in your hand. It's a pity that time is running out for you. What can you do?"

It turns out that before Emperor Yuan's reign, there was a period of time when November, which was the month of Zi, was the beginning of the year, and when the stems and branches were arranged, there was a special day, Jiazi year, Jiazi month, and Jiazi day.

It is rumored that every time this day comes, there will be a strange phenomenon of the sun and the moon joining together, five planets aligning, and seven stars aligning in one zodiac.

Only with the enlightenment of the energy at this time and the illumination of strange phenomena can the Jiazi Minglong Wood sprout successfully.

However, after Yuan Huang achieved enlightenment, the sun became the only dominant force in the world of cultivation, and there was no longer a scene of the sun and the moon in the sky, or the seven stars shining together.

The calendar was also changed accordingly, with January, also known as the Yin month, as the first month of the year, and the day when the three Jiazi gathered together no longer appeared.

Li Qing concentrated his mind to sense the Earthly Immortal Realm, then shook his head regretfully: "The current Earthly Immortal Realm can only ignore the cycle of the four seasons, and cannot simulate this special time."

Sang Yuwan was not disappointed when she heard this: "Forget it, I was just daydreaming..."

But Li Qing paused, and then added: "If one day, my Qinghe Valley can be upgraded to a blessed land, it is not impossible to simulate this special day."

"But the Jiazi Minglong Wood, in addition to the special budding time, also needs the help of special astrological signs. If this cannot be achieved, it will still be in vain."

Upon hearing this, all the great foundation-building monks present were moved.

Li Qing then took everyone to visit other magical "experimental fields".

This includes cultivating unique spiritual plants, accelerating the growth of spiritual plants, and improving the yield and quality of spiritual plants, all of which are related to the cultivation of spiritual plants.

Since the formation of the Earthly Immortal Realm, the Qinghe Valley's spiritual veins have been upgraded to the second-level mid-grade, which has been quite beneficial for cultivating second-level resources.

Now with so many magical blessings, coupled with Li Qing's talent and attainments as a spiritual plant master, Qinghe Valley is bound to have a profound impact on the area around Xuefeng Lake and the overall environment for the spiritual plant trading business.
