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

Chapter 33: First Harvest, Bamboo Cocoons

Whether the mutation of Qingling Bamboo can be passed down is a question worth exploring.

If it is Qingling grass, it will mature into a mature plant in one year and can be used as medicine; it will bloom and produce seeds in three years, and the second generation can be planted after harvesting.

"But what about this mutated Qingling Bamboo? Will it still bloom and bear seeds in three years? In other words, can it still reproduce through seeds?"

Li Qing selected one and cast all the planting spells such as Spring Breeze Spell and Cloud and Rain Spell on it.

However, perhaps it was a mutation that prolonged the maturity period. After Li Qing cast a set of spells, the Qingling Bamboo only grew slightly and its growth was not obvious.

However, its thatched leaves gradually turned from green to yellow and fell to the ground, and were replaced by new tender leaves.

Li Qing shook his head: "Forget it, the thatch leaves withered and grew again, I think they can be picked, there is no rush to harvest the whole plant, just let it grow for a while."

He waved his long sleeves and flew back to Hongya Castle on the wind. After feeding the birds that were gradually growing stronger, he set up restrictions in the room and practiced meditation until dawn.

The next morning, Ryan, still reeking of alcohol, knocked on Li Qing's door to discuss the harvesting of Qingling bamboo with him.

Li Qing thought for a moment: "Its reproduction method is still unclear, so I won't harvest it directly. I'll just pick the thatch leaves and use them to refine Qingling Powder. It will be enough for now."

Ryan naturally listened to him and asked again: "How often should we pick the thatch leaves? How much should we pick each time?"

Li Qing recalled the details of the spell he cast last night and pondered for a moment: "Pick one-third each time, once a month. The replacement of thatch leaves is probably at this frequency."

Ryan asked in detail about the taboos of picking, then hurried out to organize the islanders to go to Qingling Bamboo Garden.

After all, it was the first harvest, and Li Qing was a little worried, so he followed them.

Just one night had passed, and the appearance of the islanders had changed significantly.

The villagers walked in groups of three or five among the green bamboos, carrying sacks on their shoulders. Not only were they efficient in their work, but their faces were also filled with smiles.

The serfs did not do things in a sloppy manner. They straightened the thatch leaves, folded them carefully and put them into the bag, counting non-stop: "Thirty-two, thirty-three, thirty-four..."

Li Qing asked in confusion: "Why are you so motivated?"

A serf with a lame left leg had a gleam in his eyes: "The Baron just promised that if we work the most and do the best, we can send our children to Rainbow Cliff Castle by the end of the year to participate in the Rune Warrior Awakening Ceremony!"

"If the Sea God blesses me and allows my family to produce a rune warrior, then my whole family can escape from the serfdom and our lives will be better!"

Li Qing suddenly realized and used a green wood power to help him dispel his fatigue: "Then I wish your dream will come true!"

The lame serf hurriedly expressed his gratitude, and the others also cast passionate glances at Li Qing.

Li Qing did not show any kindness, but instead approached Rick who had heard the news and asked, "What is the awakening ceremony here?"

Rick was already used to Li Qing's lack of common sense, so he sorted out the clues and explained: "There are two types of awakening for our rune warriors."

"One is blood inheritance. For example, Leier inherited his father's fire rune. My ice rune was inherited from my grandmother."

"Whether it's the Iris Islands or the continental countries across the strait, every noble is the inheritor of this bloodline."

Li Qing nodded, and tentatively regarded this rune inheritance as a special spiritual root qualification.

Rick paused: "In addition, the nobles also master an awakening ceremony called the Libra of Order." "As long as you offer a certain amount of witch medicine to a mysterious existence, you can get two kinds of blessings: rune sublimation or rune awakening."

Rune sublimation does not increase the strength of the rune, but optimizes the characteristics of the rune.

For example, Ryan's fire rune was once upgraded from deep red to orange-red, greatly enhancing the burning damage to the enemy.

Rune awakening allows ordinary people who do not have rune talent to awaken runes, but they cannot be passed on to the next generation through blood.

Li Qing's mind was moved: "Can't be inherited again? Why is the extraordinary system in this world so strange?"

The witchcraft grown by the elves, the mutated animals imbued with magic power, and the rune warriors awakened by the ritual... What is the connection between them?
Li Qing buried his doubts in his heart and asked about the time of the awakening ceremony at the end of the year on Lettuce Island.

Rick was also a little confused: "I don't remember the last time the awakening ceremony was held. I just remember that it seemed to be the day when the island was closed due to heavy snow?"

He looked at the busy Qingling Bamboo Garden and sighed, "Awakening a Rune Warrior requires witch medicine; Rune Warriors also need witch medicine to improve their strength... Sir, you actually saved our Lettuce Island!"

Li Qing shook his head: "Each of us takes what we need."

The crossing mechanism of the "Gate of Tianwei" is relatively rigid, and the Li family in the cultivation world cannot just leave it alone. He always needs capable people to help with farming here.

The declining Rapunzel Island, although it has the title of baron, does not have the real strength of a powerful lord, making it an ideal partner.

"I wonder if this pleasant cooperation can continue for a long time?" Li Qing turned his head and looked at Hongya Castle. "What is the attitude of Viscount Green Rose?"

Anna, who had been visiting her parents for more than half a year, came back to the island at this time and brought Rick's fiancée Karin with her. It was really too much of a coincidence.

If Li Qing had not sensed malice towards the two men, he would never have stayed in Hongya Castle.

"Well, maybe this is also an opportunity? The great nobles on the mainland should have mastered more resources and secrets unique to this world, right?"

He put the matter aside for the time being and focused on harvesting the Qingling bamboo leaves.

The area of ​​Qingling grass planted initially was less than seven acres. The first round of picking of thatch leaves totaled about 600 kilograms, and Li Qing received more than 300 kilograms of profits.

Three hundred kilograms of spiritual rice may not seem like much, but when piled up with three hundred kilograms of thatch leaves, it is quite eye-catching.

Li Qing had no choice but to take out the alchemy furnace and refined the Qingling Powder for three consecutive days before he consumed most of the thatched leaf stock.

Asun and Asao also endured for three days.

On the morning of the fourth day, Li Qing put away the alchemy furnace and looked into his dantian. Suddenly, he was pleasantly surprised: "A Sun, you have blossomed!"

In the Dantian, the lettuce Cordyceps, which is more than one meter tall, is full of vitality, with two inflorescences hanging low, and goose yellow and lavender flowers quietly blooming.

Li Qing touched it lightly with his spiritual sense and faintly smelled a faint fragrance, which made his heart flutter.

He calmed himself down, quickly took the Asun back to his Dantian, and placed it in a bud at the top of the purple inflorescence.

Asun blinked his eyes, and the green wood light on his body flowed, changing into dozens of lettuce shapes, and then turned into strands of green silk, wrapping it into a cocoon.

Li Qing couldn't help but feel happy: "Could it be that Ah Sun is going to..."
