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

Chapter 24 Lotus seeds change, a guest arrives

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, then took out the green lotus seed that Li Zhe had given him.

I saw that its originally natural shell was slowly cracking with a "crack" sound, and a faint green glow was revealing.

"Ah, this..." Li Qing was in doubt. "This lotus seed, many spiritual plant masters in Yanling Valley are helpless, why is it suddenly reacting?"

He thought that he was at the top level among the first-level spiritual plant masters; but compared with the second-level and even third-level spiritual plant masters in Yanling Valley, he was far behind.

Now that the Green Lotus Seed had shown strange phenomena, Li Qing thought about it and cast his eyes on the two spirit insects: "Could it be that they did this?"

He tried to put the green lotus seeds together with the sunflowers and algae. Sure enough, the green light reflected from the shell became brighter.

But perhaps the two elf insects were not strong enough, and the green lotus seeds flashed for a while and then returned to silence.

Li Qing tried injecting his own magic power into it, but still failed to elicit any reaction from the lotus seed.

An idea suddenly struck him, and he closed his eyes and concentrated, sensing the sixteen drops of wood essence remaining in his dantian, and slowly guided out one drop.

"Buzz——" The green lotus seeds swayed slightly.

Li Qing looked carefully and through the crack, he saw a slender lotus heart trembling faintly.

"The foundation-building true essence can trigger the changes of the green lotus seeds... No! That's not right!" Li Qing rejected this possibility.

After all, Yanling Valley has no shortage of foundation-building cultivators, and there are even several Jindan Zhenren. If this is true, it is impossible that no one has noticed.

Li Qing pondered to himself: "How is my true essence different?"

He thought about the origin of his true essence: it was formed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, condensed from the debris of the "Gate of Heaven" after the failure of building the foundation.

"The Gate of Tianwei" is a legendary innate spiritual treasure. It is natural that it has such a miraculous use.

"In addition, perhaps it is also related to the resonance between the two spirit insects and the true essence?"

Li Qing secretly recalled the records about plant spirits in the world of cultivation: It seems that he has never heard of any plant spirit that can purify the true essence of the master, or even derive new true essence?

"Unfortunately, my true energy is limited and cannot afford to be wasted like this." Li Qing sighed, "I'd better wait until my foundation is repaired and successfully built before making any plans."

He shook his head slightly, put the green lotus seeds carefully into the deep of his storage bag, set up protective restrictions on the two Cordyceps sinensis plants, and then turned and left the cave.

When accompanying Li Hui to inspect Lingfeng, he could only skim through many matters. Now that he is alone, he has time to think about some things.

He controlled his Qi and climbed up to the top of the Lingfeng cliff by clambering over vines. Looking out into the distance, he could see the entire hilltop.

The spiritual plant masters diligently took care of the various spiritual plants. The spiritual peak that had been "cleaned" by the Yanling Valley now showed signs of prosperity again.

At the top of the peak, young tea tree saplings sprouted new buds, and under the nourishment of clouds and mist, they exuded a hint of bitter tea fragrance.

Under the camellia trees, several kinds of aromatic herbs such as mint and snow grass are planted.

On the ridge below, the Xuan Yang fruit tree and the Ling Huang Jing depend on each other, which is also a good combination.

Further down, in the vast Pingyang mushroom fields, the spiritual planters were working hard. Although the first crop did not yield a good harvest, it did not dampen everyone's high morale.

As for the sides of the mountain road and some corners, they have been well utilized and planted with different spiritual plants.

Li Qing's heart was shaken and he wanted to let out a long roar, but after thinking for a while, he only let out a light laugh in the end.

Just as he was feeling happy, the jade talisman in his sleeve suddenly trembled.

Li Qing took out the jade talisman, made a few seals, and activated the restrictions with his magic power. He found a brown-robed monk standing at the foot of the mountain. "Who are you? What do you want?" Li Qing asked through the restrictions.

The brown-robed monk laughed loudly and said, "Is it Brother Li Qing who is here? I am Liu Yuan, and I have rented a nearby sacred peak. I heard that Brother Li Qing is in charge of this place, so I came to pay a special visit."

Li Qing had the Small Five Elements Soul-Returning Formation to rely on, and seeing that the man's cultivation was similar to his own, he generously released the restriction and sent a message to Li Lang to lead him up.

"Fellow Daoist Liu is so polite!"

"Fellow Daoist Li is so polite!"

After the two men exchanged greetings in the pavilion at the top of the mountain, Li Qing invited the visitor to take a seat.

He took out a small red clay stove, placed a rough pottery pot on it, poured clean water into it, put in a handful of prepared bitter tea leaves, and slowly cooked it over a red fire.

Liu Yuan praised: "I heard from fellow Taoists around me that Fellow Daoist Li's spiritual plant cultivation skills are truly perfect."

"What I have seen along the way up the mountain is indeed superb skills. It is hard to compare with others of the same level."

Li Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "You are too kind. After all, it is only a first-level skill. How can you say it is perfect? ​​It is just a compliment from you fellow Taoists."

Liu Yuan smiled but said nothing.

Li Qing asked back, "I don't know where you come from? I'm familiar with all the families and markets around Xuefeng Lake, but this is the first time I've heard of your name."

Liu Yuan stroked his graying beard and said, "I was born in a farmer's family by the lake. A hundred years ago, I joined Yanling Valley and worked in the medicine garden. Now my life is coming to an end and I have no hope of building a foundation, so I am returning to my roots."

Li Qing was shocked when he heard this, but he did not dare to neglect it: "So it is a high-ranking official of the upper sect. I am ignorant of it."

Liu Yuan didn't care at all: "What kind of high merit am I? I am just a few years older than you, a dried bone in a tomb."

How could Li Qing respond to this?

Just at this moment, the tea in the ceramic pot boiled, and the mist accompanied by the tea fragrance slowly spread out.

Li Qing took out two jade tea cups, picked up the pottery pot, and poured out two streams of clear tea: "Daoyou, please!"

Liu Yuan picked up the teacup, admired the clear tea soup against the sunlight, then put it under his nose, sniffed the tea fragrance, and then took a sip.

"I heard that fellow Taoist is also very good at refining pills, but I didn't expect that his skill in making tea is also good." After a long time, Liu Yuan put down the teacup and praised.

Li Qing felt a little uncomfortable: "Fellow Daoist Liu has been in Yanling Valley, so he must have tasted all kinds of good tea. How can my rough mountain tea be worthy of your attention?"

After a pause, he simply opened the skylight and said frankly: "I wonder what brings you to my Lingfeng?"

He really couldn't bear to play tricks on others, and he thought to himself that the Li family had Li Zhe, a foundation-building cultivator in Yanling Valley, so he was not afraid of the man in front of him.

"Haha, it turns out that Brother Li is still an impatient person!" Liu Yuan laughed loudly and took out a wooden box from his sleeve.

"I want to discuss a deal with you. This wooden box contains not only a gift for you, but also something that determines the success or failure of this deal."

Li Qing did not hesitate. He held the cardinal talisman in his sleeve with one hand and opened the wooden box with the other.

When he saw the contents of the box, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and covered the box as if he had grabbed a hot potato. "Are you kidding me, Brother Liu? How can I show such a precious treasure to others casually?"

Liu Yuan smiled and stuffed the wooden box into his hands, with a confident look on his face: "Fellow Daoist Li really knows this thing. It seems that I did not find the wrong person!"
