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

Chapter 23: Guarding the Spiritual Peak, the Elves Go to Work

Li Hui took out a five-colored jade compass, chanted some incantations, and then a surge of magical power poured into it.

Then there was a muffled "boom" sound, and a stone platform suddenly appeared in the center of the pavilion, and above the stone platform was a chessboard-like formation.

There are five nodes on the array plate, four of which are empty, and only the east one is inlaid with a green jade talisman.

Li Hui took out the jade talisman and handed it to Li Qing: "This is the key talisman of the Small Five Elements Soul Returning Array. Holding it can activate the array power and suppress or kill the enemy."

"The other four are held by the other three elders and Azhe. There is no distinction between high and low cardinal talismans, but they are all controlled by this compass of mine."

"Thank you, Patriarch!" Li Qing took it, sat cross-legged on the ground in the pavilion, and refined the green jade talisman according to Li Hui's instructions.

After handing over the jade talisman, Li Hui activated the jade compass to hide the small five elements soul-returning formation, and then discussed other matters with Li Qing.

"I and the other three elders feel that Lingfeng still cannot do without you. I wonder if you, Aqing, are willing to guard here for a while?"

Li Qing was well prepared and readily agreed: "Guarding the Spiritual Peak is no problem, but I damaged my foundation when I was building it before, so I have to go into seclusion for a while, so I'm afraid I can't stay here permanently."

Li Hui said hurriedly: "It is important for you to heal your wounds. If you need to retreat and recuperate, just tell me anytime."

Li Qing added: "Since I was allowed to come here, I might as well build an alchemy room here. Once the Spiritual Peak has output, I can refine it directly here, saving the trouble of moving back and forth."

Li Hui agreed without hesitation.

The two of them communicated for a long time before they finalized the matter of Li Qing coming here to take charge.

After everything was agreed upon, Li Hui took out a green lotus seed from his storage bag: "By the way, Aqing, this is what Azhe asked me to bring to you."

Li Qing took it and found that the green lotus seed was slightly heavy in his hand. It looked delicate, but felt as rough as old tree bark. "Is there any story behind this lotus seed?"

Li Hui recalled: "According to Ah Zhe, these were discovered by a Jindan Zhenren from Yanling Valley while exploring a secret realm. There are tens of thousands of them in total."

"That Immortal originally asked the spiritual plant masters in Yanling Valley to cultivate it, but none of them succeeded, so he released some of it to see if anyone could cultivate it."

"So that's how it is." Li Qing nodded slightly and input the wood-attribute magic power into the green lotus seed, but it disappeared without a trace.

Seeing him pondering the green lotus seeds, Li Hui smiled and stood up: "There are still many things to do at the family side, so I won't stay any longer. As for Lingfeng, I'll leave everything to you."

Li Qing bowed his head solemnly and said, "I dare not ask for it, but it is my wish."

After Li Hui left, Li Qing also stood up and left the pavilion, ran straight to the bottom of the Lingfeng cliff, climbed an old vine, and entered a stone cave.

This is the cave left behind by the previous guardian of Yanling Valley.

Li Qing discovered it by accident when he was leading his tribesmen to explore Lingfeng and plan the area for planting spiritual plants.

The cave was empty except for a spirit gathering formation that had not been destroyed. However, the spirit stones that it relied on for energy had all been taken away by the previous owner.

Fortunately, his family asked him to guard the city, so naturally he had to provide good service support.

Now the cave is not only newly decorated, but also has two spiritual fields and a spiritual pond opened up near the cave entrance, making it convenient for him to grow some of his favorite spiritual plants.

Before Li Qing came to Lingfeng, the second elder Li Fang had communicated with him via letters, so he was well prepared for this trip.

His mind moved slightly, and in the blink of an eye, two elf insects, one green and one pink, appeared in the palms of his hands.

Li Qing fed a ball of spiritual energy to the insect: "Ah Sun, Ah Zao, we are moving for the time being, let's plant your Cordyceps first." Ah Sun nodded vigorously, jumped up, and jumped to the center of one of the spiritual fields: "Yaa!"

When it was young, tall lettuce Cordyceps was planted here.

Acao was not so anxious. He pestered Li Qing for another ball of spiritual energy, then jumped into the spiritual pool and swam two laps leisurely.

Li Qing did not urge it and let it play enough before planting the red algae and Cordyceps.

After they were both settled, Li Qing took out the storage bag and poured out nine lettuce spiritual plants and six red algae spiritual plants.

When Asun and Acao saw it, they rushed over excitedly, and couldn't wait to absorb the same essence.

Li Qing used two spells to send them flying onto the Cordyceps sinensis. Then he used the two Cordyceps sinensis as the core and planted the spiritual plants in an orderly manner.

The two little guys stared at the same kind of spiritual plants with abundant spiritual energy and similar properties but slight differences, and the calls of "Ya Ya" and "Mulli" came one after another.

——These are the results of Li Wei’s careful collection.

"If you want to have a full meal, you have to work first." Li Qing didn't want to spoil them too much, so he took out a handful of ordinary lettuce seeds and a handful of ordinary red algae seeds from the storage bag.

He used his magic power to roll up two handfuls of seeds, which fell evenly into the spirit pond and the spirit field like flowers scattered by a fairy. "Come on! Plant a field first!"

Asun was a man of action. He called out "Ya Ya" and took the initiative to connect with the lettuce and Cordyceps.

Soon, a green light emanated from the Cordyceps sinensis, caressing the surrounding lettuce plants and the lettuce seeds scattered in the spiritual soil.

The lettuce seeds seemed to be inspired and began to sprout slightly. Soon, tender shoots broke through the hard shell, and there was a constant "beeping" sound.

Ah Zao was still persevering in flying towards the red algae spiritual plant, but when he saw the green light, he connected with his Cordyceps sinensis without giving in.

Soon, another pink glow spread out. The red algae seeds floating in the water of the spirit pond gradually grew tiny roots under the catalysis of the red light.

Of course, the elf insect can only catalyze ordinary plants of the same kind. The green light and pink light repeatedly brushed over the fifteen spiritual plants, but there was no change.

After all the seeds had taken root and sprouted, Li Qing lifted the restrictions on Ah Sun and Ah Zao's meals: "Okay, you guys can start eating."

The two elf insects cheered together, calling out "Eaah" and "Mulli", and landed on the nearest spiritual plant to absorb the essence of their own kind.

These are the two keys to the evolution of the Elfworm:
One is to absorb enough essence of the same species to accumulate the potential for evolution. The other is to cultivate plants of the same species extensively to become familiar with and master their own abilities.

Both are indispensable. Only by achieving perfection in both can one hope to break free from the shackles on his body and advance to a spirit that can catalyze spiritual plants.

"Hey, you two have to work hard to change your fate and evolve successfully." Li Qing looked at the two elf insects with gentle but calm eyes.

After all, the life span of the spirit insects was only ten years. He really couldn't bear to see them die of old age, so he could only spur them to work hard and make progress.

The two elf insects were completely unaware of their master's worries. After each of them absorbed the essence of a spiritual plant, they lay down on the spot as if they had eaten and drunk their fill.

Li Qing couldn't help but smile. Just as he was about to put them back into their respective Cordyceps, he suddenly heard a light "click" sound.
