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

Patriarch Zheng was stunned when he heard this: "Building a foundation?!"

The Zheng family has been dealing with wronged souls since the source of their inheritance, and all inheritance is based on this. Now, there have been four generations of foundation-building inheritance.

But whether it is a spiritual doctor or a spiritual chef, they are just minor skills in Muhunyuan, at most icing on the cake.

After hearing what Li Qing said, Zheng Laozu couldn't help but have an idea, and ordered the maid next to him: "Ask Zheng Tuo to come and pay respect to the real person."

The maid took the order and left.

Soon, a middle-aged cultivator with a plump figure, a simple face, and who had just reached the seventh level of Qi training, came to Li Qing.

"Junior Zheng Tuo, I'm here to meet Master Li!" This man had been reminded by the maid, so he bowed respectfully when he saw Li Qing.

Li Qing sent out a spiritual wind, lifted him up, and looked him up and down: "From what I see, you seem to be around fifty?"

Zheng Tuo hurriedly said, "Master, you have a keen eye. I just turned fifty this year."

Li Qing smiled, pointed at Zheng Tuo and looked at Zheng Laozu: "Daoyou, why don't you take a look at his energy?"

Patriarch Zheng frowned slightly, and his consciousness swept across Zheng Tuo's body without hesitation.

His aura was not sharp and ostentatious, but rather harmonious and he incorporated the concepts of both medicine and cooking into his magical powers.

Patriarch Zheng frowned at first, but then he became more and more surprised, and even a little regretful: "It's the family that misled you."

"If I had discovered earlier that you had this ability and cultivated it, you would have been able to try to build your foundation now."

Zheng Tuo hurriedly said, "Grandmaster, how can I be embarrassed by your words? If it weren't for the support of my family, which allowed me to have enough food and clothing, and to practice spiritual energy, how could I have had the opportunity to delve into the ways of spiritual medicine and spiritual cooking?"

"Now I have only made a little progress, a mere seventh level of Qi training. Among the other brothers and cousins ​​who have reached the eighth and ninth levels of Qi training, which one is not better than me?"

Zheng Tuo sincerely said: "I am very satisfied with where I am today."

Seeing that there was no resentment on his face or in his demeanor, Elder Zheng couldn't help but feel relieved.

He looked at Li Qing hesitantly: "To be honest, the inheritance of my Zheng family is slightly different from the ordinary practice methods."

"There are two foundation-building seeds in the clan now, and nearly sixty years of resources have been taken up. If we want to train Zheng Tuo, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Li Qing suddenly realized: "Then according to what you said..."

Patriarch Zheng probed, "Any Jindan sect must absorb fresh blood from subordinate families to strengthen the sect."

"If the real person does not forsake me, my Zheng family is willing to allow Zheng Tuo to join Kunpeng Blessed Land, either as a disciple or as a steward and servant."

Li Qing pondered in silence.

This is just like when Li Zhe joined Yanling Valley and was considered a subordinate force, providing blood transfusions to the main force.

In the elven world, there is a tradition that the heirs of vassal families serve their superior lords.

With the establishment of Kunpeng Blessed Land, the Li family is bound to embark on the road of expansion and absorb blood from the outside world to strengthen itself.

However, this kind of candidate usually starts from childhood, like Li Zhe, in order to make his heart loyal to the main sect.

Although Li Qing would not be as extreme as Yanling Valley and allow the vassal children to turn around and exploit their own family, he still had to ensure at least some loyalty.

Although Zheng Tuo has some potential, he did not grow up in Qinghe Valley after all.

If we take the trouble to train them, not only will it squeeze out the resources of the Li family's children, but their loyalty will also be a problem.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Tuo had already reacted to Li Qing's hesitation. He fell to the ground with a "bang" and kowtowed three times: "If the real person does not forsake, I am willing to sign the law contract and worship in Kunpeng's blessed land."

The legal deed he mentioned is naturally not an ordinary contract, but a contract to sell one's body. Once signed, life and death will be in one's hands.

Li Qing came to his senses and was shocked by his decisiveness, but did not express his opinion.

Ancestor Zheng on the side was a little annoyed at first, but he quickly reacted, calmed himself down, and looked at Li Qing.

"Master, since I, a junior, have such sincerity, I wonder if you are willing to accept it? Not to mention building a foundation, if you want to taste spiritual food in the future, it would be good to have him serve you."

Li Qing suddenly smiled and looked at the two of them: "You two have made up your minds and will never regret it?"

Zheng Laozu smiled and said, "It is his honor to be favored by the real person. No one in my Zheng family is unhappy about it."

Zheng Tuo kowtowed three more times to Li Qing: "I hope the Master will have mercy on me. I am willing to become your disciple..."

Seeing this, Li Qing did not hesitate and wrote a legal deed on the spot: "You two can take a look at it first. If you agree, Zheng Tuo, you can sign it directly."

Zheng Tuo took it and looked at it, and found that the contract was not harsh.

However, the Dharma contract clearly stated that if he built a foundation in Kunpeng Blessed Land in the future, all things must be based on Kunpeng Blessed Land, and he must not show favoritism or benefit himself.

Elder Zheng was also relieved. After all, he didn't sell his youngest off to others. "Master, be merciful. The conditions are already very generous. I have nothing to disagree with."

Although Zheng Tuo was fortunate enough to build his foundation in the future and also belonged to the Kunpeng blessed land, as his family of origin, the Zheng family could benefit from it to some extent.

Throwing away a spiritual chef who is not valued in the family in exchange for a fellow foundation-building practitioner with a blood relationship, and further strengthening the relationship with Kunpeng Blessed Land.

This time, I really made a lot of money.

Seeing that his ancestor had no objection, Zheng Tuo acted decisively, bit his finger, and signed the deed with his blood.

Thus, the Li family of Kunpeng blessed land, just by chance, took the first step in external expansion.

Li Qing waved his hand and asked Zheng Tuo to stand up. He found that although Zheng Tuo often knelt and kowtowed, he did not have any inferiority or cowardice in his heart.

On the contrary, he is resolute and determined, with the attitude of "If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening", and his character is very strong.

Li Qing muttered in his heart: "I wonder if the two foundation-building seeds specially cultivated by the Zheng family have such a mentality?"

“If in the future, both of them fail, but Zheng Tuo succeeds in building his foundation, that would be interesting.”

There are actually many similar stories in the world of cultivation over tens of thousands of years.

However, the Zheng family has invested too many resources in those two people, and it is obviously unrealistic to turn around now.

However, this is the Zheng family's business, so Li Qing naturally would not interfere too much.

Putting this matter aside, with Chef Zheng Tuo accompanying him for dinner, Li Qing could taste the various delicious dishes of Muhunyuan better.

In addition to the red spider lily cake, there was also a soul fish soup that also amazed Li Qing.

Zheng Tuo introduced earnestly: "This soul fish is a kind of spiritual fish that is naturally generated in a stream flowing out of the Muhun Abyss."

"It was born and raised in nature, and was stained by the dark energy of the Soul-Bearing Abyss, but it emerged from the mud without being stained. Instead, its meat is tender and full of spiritual charm, making it a good material for making soup."

Li Qing was surprised: "Hey, why didn't I see it when I visited Muhunyuan today?"

Old Ancestor Zheng shook his head and said, "Master, you came at an unlucky time. That stream only appears when the moon is full. It is usually invisible." (End of this chapter)
