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

Chapter 57: Flame Taoist Soldiers, Ice Notes (Free Chapter)
Having made the decision to pledge allegiance to Li Qing, Ryan did not delay and gathered the whole family at Hongya Castle that night to tell them his decision.

Anna and he already had a tacit understanding, and the brothers Rick and Leir were also convinced of Li Qing, so they naturally listened to Ryan.

On the other hand, Kailin, who has always claimed to "worship wizards", was very resistant to this matter: "We are nobles! Why should we submit to a wizard? Obviously, our previous cooperation was quite good."

Ryan didn't force it, he just said calmly: "Kaylene, times have changed!"

The next morning, except for Karin, who was angry and refused to see Rick, everyone else was in the study of Hongya Castle, swearing allegiance to Li Qing.

Li Qing took out a legal deed and asked them to sign and press their fingerprints one by one with their fingertips' blood, and then activated the restriction.

Then a ray of green light rose from the magic contract and split into four beams, which were imprinted on the eyebrows of the four members of Ryan's family. They flashed for a moment before disappearing.

Ryan and the other three were shocked, feeling the vague shackles deep in their souls, and quickly collected their minds.

Now that Lettuce Island was under his control, Li Qing no longer hesitated.

On the one hand, he ordered Ryan to deal with the spiritual rice straw as soon as possible so as not to delay the cultivation of spiritual fungi; on the other hand, he started to improve the strength of their family.

"In the past six months, I have done some research on your runes."

Li Qing flicked his fingers, and two spiritual fires jumped in front of Ryan and Leir: "If you swallow them, your strength will naturally increase."

"Sir..." Feeling the terrifying power contained in the spiritual fire, even if it was only a little bit, Leir couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Ryan glared at his son, then opened his mouth without hesitation and swallowed the spiritual fire.

Instead of the expected scorching heat, the spiritual fire warmed up upon entering the mouth, like soft cheese, even slightly chewy.

Ryan couldn't help chewing it twice before swallowing it.

In a trance, Ryan heard a loud "boom" and felt as if a furnace had opened up in his body, with hot molten iron flowing out, along some mysterious corridors, and seeping into an unknown place.

"Ah——" He couldn't help but scream, and fire runes spontaneously emerged around his body, constantly combining and fissioning, repeating this cycle over and over again.

Li Qing's spiritual consciousness penetrated into Ryan's body, guiding the spiritual fire, and following the widely circulated "Fire Art" practice path in the cultivation world, he helped Ryan to clear his meridians and open his acupoints little by little.

Standing at the foundation-building stage, looking at the Qigong method will naturally give you a bird's-eye view.

Li Qing was unable to continue to optimize basic skills such as the "Fire Art", but it was very simple to modify it and use it for my own benefit.

Like Dantian and Lingtai, meridians and acupoints are not unchanging passages and stations in the human body, but metaphysical concepts of spiritual practice.

Li Qing had experience in helping Asun and Atao to open up their meridians and awaken their orifices. Now that he was using it on Ryan, it was natural and easy for him to do so.

Soon, a network of meridians based on the "Fire Art" was built in Ryan's body.

Li Qing's mind moved, and the remaining spiritual fire dissipated and turned into tiny sparks of fire, disappearing into many acupoints.

But he did not continue to teach Ryan the tricks of opening up his Dantian, Lingtai, and refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into magic power. Instead, he slapped his forehead.

"Meditate carefully and guide the runes on your body to the acupoints that have just been opened."

Of course, the runes on his body could not be connected to the acupoints. What Li Qing asked him to meditate on was actually the image of the runes.

Ryan suppressed the illusion of being burned by fire and tried to concentrate. With his familiarity with his own power, he quickly constructed a fire rune in an acupoint near his heart.

"Whoosh..." There was a faint sound of flames gushing out. The spiritual fire left by Li Qing quietly gathered together, and used it as a spiritual material to gradually condense the runes from illusory things to runes that seemed to be real.

In this way, once there was one, there would be two, and soon Ryan condensed a set of twelve runes in total.

They were embedded and connected to each other, forming the prototype of a ban that penetrated into a mysterious place somewhere in Ryan's body.

"Boom——" The flames all over his body burst into flames, burning all of Ryan's body. His aura quickly rose from slightly above the fourth level of Qi training to close to the seventh level of Qi training.

His eyes suddenly opened, and an illusory rune mark flashed in his eyes. The runes around his body that were originally out of control suddenly became as easy to control as his arms.

"Thank you for your training, sir!" Ryan knelt on one knee in gratitude, "I am almost breaking through to become a gold warrior."

Li Qing nodded slightly, not surprised at all: "You better adapt well! Try to complete the breakthrough before I leave!"

If a great cultivator in the foundation-building stage wants to promote a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training, there are actually many ways to do it, if you don't consider the loss of lifespan and foundation-building potential.

Just like Ryan, he was trained to be a Taoist soldier. The downside was that the spiritual fire came from Li Qing, so he was controlled by others.

There are many benefits. If Li Qing's spiritual fire breaks through again in the future, it is possible that Ryan will advance to an earth warrior.

Ryan returned to Hongya Castle and found a secret room, where he retreated and broke through to become a golden warrior.

Li Qing followed the same method and promoted Leir from the beginner level of Qi training to a level close to the fourth level of Qi training.

But after all, his accumulation is limited and he is still a long way from a breakthrough.

Seeing that his father and brother had improved in strength, Rick couldn't sit still and took the initiative to come to them.

Li Qing saw his eager expression and shook his head: "Because I control the spiritual fire, I can help them improve their strength. The ice runes on your body are not what I am good at."

When Rick heard this, he couldn't help but look gloomy.

Li Qing signaled him to be patient and took out a notebook from his storage bag: "This is the rune cultivation method I summarized. Take it and have a look first."

"If you can practice successfully, your achievements in the future will definitely surpass Leir. Even your father will not be able to compare with you."

Rick was overjoyed when he opened the letter and discovered that it used unfamiliar words and obscure metaphors, and was filled with incomprehensible expressions such as dragon and tiger, Kan and Li, and yin and yang.

He was seeing stars in his eyes and looked up at Li Qing: "Sir, this note, I can't understand it?"

Li Qing smiled and taught him the long-lost "telepathy technique", and then broke down the cultivation terms and explained them to him one by one.

This is the product of his combination of his understanding of runes and another popular technique in the world of cultivation, the "Ice Art".

Different from Ryan and Leir who practiced with the help of his spiritual fire, the method given to Rick, although not involving Dantian and Lingtai, had more tricks on refining magic power and feeding back runes.

After all, since Li Qing came to Lettuce Island, it was Rick who accompanied him to familiarize himself with the surrounding situation.

Algae and date snails were obtained with the company of Lake. The birth of Chaoyin was also thanks to Lake's "snatching food from the mouth of a bird".

The relationship between the two naturally became deeper, so Li Qing was willing to give him more opportunities.

(The problem is really unsolvable, so I will update it first. The comments on the listing are removed first.)
