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

Chapter 307: The Candidate is Finalized, Qinghe Chooses a Master (First Update)
Since the Li family had decided to focus on the hundred arts of cultivation, there was no further delay.

The next morning, all the clan members who were practicing in Qinghe Valley gathered in front of the ancestral hall to discuss sending people out to learn skills.

On the fourth-level platform, Li Qing was in the middle, and Li Yu was on the side, examining Li Wei's arrangements.

"Based on various considerations, the candidates this time are mainly teenagers between the ages of 12 and 18. If the conditions are suitable, the age limit can be relaxed to 24."

Li Yi first announced the decision and then introduced the newly introduced "apprenticeship subsidy", which gave reassurance to those who were skeptical.

In the subsequent allocation of quotas, priority was given to personal wishes, while qualifications were taken into consideration, and fairness and equality were achieved as much as possible.

"I was wrong. I made the right choice for the clan leader." Li Yu smiled and transmitted, "He is both capable and aware of current affairs. He took the initiative to keep a distance from the main branch. He can be considered to have cut off the tail to survive."

Li Qing smiled and said, "He was originally in the main vein, but he was just a marginal figure. Now that he is the head of the family, he will naturally not let others take advantage of him too much."

While the two were chatting, the first batch of "international students" who had just been selected were already standing in a row in the front yard.

Among them, two wanted to learn how to make talismans, two wanted to learn how to refine weapons, one wanted to learn how to form formations, and several others had great interests in the fields of winemaking, cooking, and tea making.

Li Qing’s two great-grandnieces, Li Ling’er and Li Yue’er, are also among them. They are in their teens, which is a good time for them to become apprentices and learn skills.

Li Yue'er has a wood spirit root close to the middle grade and has recently become fascinated with tea making. Although Li Qing can do it, he still has no system.

Li Linger has wood and fire spiritual roots, which should make her more suitable for alchemy, but she is more interested in the art of incense, so Li Qing respects her wishes.

Looking at the two little girls holding the crane cubs in their arms, Li Qing sighed softly: "They have grown so big all of a sudden..."

Li Qingquan and Li Zhaoqian, who practiced cultivation in the same year as the two, also chose to study a hundred arts of cultivation.

After all, the four requirements for cultivation are "wealth, friends, Dharma and land". Mastering a skill and earning more spiritual stones in the future will definitely be of great benefit to cultivation.

Haven't you seen that, back then, Ancestor Li Qing used spiritual plants and alchemy to nourish himself, so that he could achieve perfection in Qi training with his not-so-good, middle-grade spiritual roots and thus touch the foundation-building barrier?
Different from them, Li Hu is currently concentrating on comprehending the spiritual winds of the four seasons and has little interest in the various arts of cultivation.

He stood in the crowd, waving his fists to show his support for his four friends.

Seeing that the candidate had been decided, Li Wei looked up and asked, "Do the two ancestors have any other instructions?"

Li Yu shook his head and looked at Li Qing.

Li Qing sat cross-legged on the futon, looking at the high-spirited young people below, and smiled slightly: "You are all good children of my Qinghe Valley Li family."

"Qinghe Valley is yours, and it is ours, but in the final analysis, it is yours."

"You young people are full of vigor and vitality, and you are in your prime, just like the sun at noon in the morning. The hope of our Qinghe Valley rests on you."

As he spoke, his spiritual consciousness radiated throughout the entire venue, resonating with Taihao Palace and the banyan tree, echoing in everyone's mind.

For a moment, whether it was the selected teenagers or other members of the tribe, their souls seemed to have received a baptism.

This speech left many tribesmen confused.

Because they were taught from childhood that the ancestor who laid the foundation lived to be three hundred years old and had great supernatural powers. He was the white jade pillar that supported the sky and the purple gold beam that spanned the sea of ​​the family. They should respect the will of the ancestor and dedicate everything to the family.

But now, Patriarch Li Qing said that the family belongs to everyone and their future is promising.

Some people took it as a polite remark, but some people suddenly realized something, their spiritual awareness suddenly transformed, and the bottleneck of practice that had been stagnant was quietly broken through.

Li Qing's consciousness caught these changes, and he smiled slightly without pointing it out. He didn't pretend to be anything, and with a flick of his long sleeves, a dozen jade boxes fell in front of the chosen young man.

When they opened it, they saw a second-level protective talisman, a bottle of first-level superior-grade nourishing spirit pills, and three crystal-clear middle-grade spirit stones.

"These are the rewards given to you by the family. They do not conflict with the 'study subsidy'. If you can return after completing your studies, the family will not hesitate to give you a more generous reward."

As soon as the second-level talisman was released, the eyes of many elders in the clan who were at the ninth level of Qi training lit up.

After all, this was something that only a second-level talisman master could draw. In the past, the clan never had more than ten of these at the bottom of their chest.

Now, Li Qing could use the second-level elixir to make an exchange, but resource exchange could only open up channels, and the quantity would not increase too much.

After all, the Foundation Establishment Ancestor himself also needs to practice.

"Thank you, Qingzu! We will not let you down and will strive to become a disciple as soon as possible and serve the family!" Li Zhaoqian took the lead in bowing.

Li Qing chuckled: "The future of the family depends on you, so you should encourage yourselves!"

After saying that, he stood up, with the green wood Dharma light protecting his body, and turned into a green rainbow, flying towards the direction of the palace, temple and cave.

Li Yu nodded and smiled, and said a few words of encouragement. After giving each of them a first-grade top-quality source pearl, he returned to the cave by the He River.

After seeing the two foundation-building ancestors leave, Li Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and stood up: "There is another thing. The Qinghe lineage living in my Qinghe Valley has hatched a lot of baby cranes recently..."

"The leader of the Qinghe clan discussed with me whether the clan members are interested in training beasts and spirit pets. The Qinghe clan is willing to cooperate fully."

Since returning to Qinghe Valley, although the Qinghe clan has an agreement with Li Qing on beast taming, their attitude has always been less positive.

It was not until recently that two crane cubs evolved into royal blood, which caused a sensation within their tribe.

Ordinary Green Cranes are not as cautious as the patriarch, and don't go around in circles. Human cultivators can give tangible benefits, which are better than any big principles.

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked towards the green-feathered crane chicks in Li Ling'er and her sister's arms. Seeing their clear eyes and hidden wisdom, they couldn't help but envy them.

After Li Wei announced the news, he did not stay long and left with the elders.

Without the restraint of their elders, their peers immediately surrounded Li Ling'er and her partner, asking them about their feelings about contracting beasts and spirit pets.

However, the two shook their heads firmly: "They are not beasts and spirit pets! They are our partners!"

"They will be our fellow Taoists in the future. Just like our ancestors and Master Asun!"

The two crane cubs rubbed the palms of their master gently, making happy "chirp" sounds.

The older monks, though envious, knew that fate could not be forced. But the young children's eyes flashed with a glimmer of longing.

Li Hu, who was standing at the edge of the crowd, smiled in sympathy, waved goodbye to his friends, and left the front yard of the ancestral hall.

“Meow!” “Meow!”…

Cat calls could be heard one after another, and four already quite large cats ran towards him happily.
