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

Chapter 243: The Path of Fairy and Fairy, the Years Are Quiet and Good (Request for Full Order)

Xuan Jing chuckled and said something meaningful: "Does it have to have demonic aura to be considered a demon?"

The young Li Hu was stunned by its behavior.

Li Qing was not fooled by it: "Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me what's going on."

Xuan Jing licked his paw and said, "In the world of cultivation, extraordinary beasts are divided into three categories. One category is like me, who breathe in and out spiritual energy and do not need blood to feed on, and are called spiritual beasts."

"The second type, they exhale demonic energy, which is incompatible with spiritual energy. They have a ferocious aura that is difficult to reconcile, and they like to eat blood. They are called demon beasts."

"The third type has a strong innate body, but does not absorb or exhale spiritual energy or demonic energy. It only precipitates its own blood and essence. It has a hazy mind and a violent nature. It is called a barbarian beast."

"Wait!" Li Qing interrupted with a wave of his hand, "What is a wild beast?"

Xuan Jing frowned and recalled: "Hey! It seems that this thing has become extinct in Qinghe Continent. It's normal that you haven't heard of it."

"This kind of beast has abundant blood and essence, which is full of energy essence. It is the best for tempering the Taoist body. Therefore, it is very popular among physical practitioners."

"I estimate that they will become extinct, most likely because they were eaten to death by body cultivators. You human cultivators are so cruel!"

Li Qing: ...the reputation of the human cultivators has been damaged!

Xuan Jing looked at Li Hu: "And his adoptive mother, the big white cat you mentioned, if nothing unexpected happens, should be a mutant of a monster!"

It waved its claws lightly and absorbed a wisp of energy from Li Hu: "There are two ways for demon beasts to advance."

"One is to constantly refine the demon body and advance the bloodline, thus transforming into a stronger demon beast."

"The second is to transform, refine the demon body into a human body, and practice the skills compiled by human cultivators. Those who still practice demonic energy are called big monsters, or big monsters for short."

"But if you turn to other paths, you will have the so-called demon gods, demon fairies, and demons."

Xuan Jing sniffed the breath and said, "This half-fellow tribe member should follow the path of demon-immortal. The demonic energy around him has already transformed into immortal energy. You, a human, naturally cannot sense it."

Li Qing suddenly realized something was wrong: "Don't you reincarnate every 300 years and cleanse your memory regularly? How do you know this?"

Xuan Jing looked towards Xuefeng Lake with a complicated expression: "After coming out of the secret realm, I remembered a lot again."

“Although it does not contain memories of my experiences, some knowledge that does not involve specific people and events has gradually become clear.”

Li Qing was stunned: "So there is an unexpected surprise!"

Xuan Jing jumped down from his shoulder: "Can I follow this kid for a while? I think he is also a playboy, I can give him some guidance."

Li Qing had no objection and pointed at the four kittens: "They are also wind-attributed spirit beasts, just like you. You can teach them as well."

Xuan Jing tilted his head and thought for a while: "Well, it doesn't matter if it's just one sheep or a flock of sheep. Oh, by the way, I want to eat roasted whole lamb!"

Li Qing didn't expect its thoughts to jump so much, but he still nodded and promised: "Okay! I'll have someone buy a few spiritual sheep!"

The Li family doesn’t raise sheep or other spiritual animals, so if you want to eat them, you have to buy them from other families.

Xuan Jing generously opened the storage bag and took out a handful of raw spirit stones: "Is this enough?"

Li Qing glanced at the middle-grade spirit stones mixed in: "That's enough! Eat ten spirit sheep and you can find spirit stones."

"That's good! I'll give the change to the errand boy." Xuan Jing didn't care about these trivial matters.

Li Qing knew that it was wealthy, so he did not refuse. He took the raw spiritual stone ore and sent a communication talisman to ask people to go out of the valley to buy spiritual sheep.

He called Ah Sun and the others out from his dantian. The little guys were very familiar with Li Hu, their playmate, and soon they were laughing and making a lot of noise.

Li Qing ignored them and entered the quiet room with the spiritual spring and threw all the spiritual stone ore into it.

"Gurgle..." The spiritual spring rolled, depositing the ore into the spiritual vein at the bottom, merging with the growing spiritual stone vein.

This was Xuan Jing’s first time leaving the secret realm, and he didn’t know whether the raw ore could be used for trading. He had to use the magic passed down by Emperor Yuan to transform it into regular “spiritual stones”.

These spirit stone ores are of good quality. Several of them have the potential to transform from low-grade spirit stones into medium-grade spirit stones. It would be a pity to just refine them like this.

As for the spirit stones for buying spirit sheep and rewarding the errand runners, they were naturally paid through public accounts and deducted from Li Qing's monthly food allowance - although Li Qing didn't care about these small things at all.

That night, the area in front of Li Qing’s cave was bustling with activity.

In addition to Li Qing and the elves, others who were close to Li Qing also came together to celebrate Li Qing's breakthrough to the "third level of foundation building".

Chaoyin volunteered to be the chef for the evening spiritual meal.

Although he could also use fire spells, the conversion was somewhat sluggish and could easily burn the sheep into charcoal.

In desperation, he called Ah Zao over to help light the fire and control the temperature.

The two little guys were busy, and soon the aroma of roasted whole lamb wafted in the wind.

As for where the wind comes from, we have to ask Xuan Jing, the wind-type spirit beast.

Before waiting for the whole lamb to be roasted, Li Qing asked people to get various spiritual fruits, squeeze them into sweet and sour spiritual juice, put them into smoothies, and give them to younger generations such as Li Hu, Li Ling'er, and Li Yue'er to taste.

Some of the spiritual fruits were originally inedible because the concentration of spiritual energy in them was too high.

But Li Qing added the millet grown on Chaoyin Cordyceps into it, and after some blending, they were able to enjoy the delicious taste of high-grade spiritual fruit.

Looking at the little ones squinting their eyes with happiness and looking like they were about to bubble, Li Qing couldn't help but smile.

"Uncle! Have a drink too!" Li Wei also brought him a glass of juice.

Li Qing took it with a smile, took a sip, and asked about her recent progress in cultivation.

During this period, Li Wei stayed at the sacred peak where the Jiuxuan fruit trees were planted. While taking care of the trees, she also assisted the Jiuxuan fruit spirit insects to extend the roots of the cordyceps to the entire mountain.

As early as a year ago, she had already broken through to the sixth level of Qi training, and was now striving for the seventh level in order to compete for the two visualization drawings offered as a reward by the clan.

Li Qing actually had one extra spot for the visualization diagram, which was the "hush money" given to him by Xuan Gong after he came out of the Lingtao Secret Realm.

Li Qing has decided that if Li Wei fails to break through to the late stage of Qi training before the age of 40 and secure a spot, he will give this to her.

But Li Wei was holding back, so he didn't point it out. After all, it was a good thing that the younger generation was willing to make progress.

The two chatted for a while, and Chaoyin finally roasted the whole lamb, dipped it in the secret sauce, cut it into pieces, and sent it to a row of jade tables.

Li Qing laughed and pointed at Chao Yin who had transformed into a butterfly using a magic trick: "This craftsmanship is extraordinary just by smelling the fragrance! Don't be shy, just enjoy!"

Soon, the playful little ones stopped fighting and started to savor the delicious roasted whole lamb with a smacking sound.

For a time, the years were quiet.
