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

Chapter 7 Returning to Qinghe Valley, Family Concerns

Half a month's journey passed in the blink of an eye, and the flying boat finally arrived near Qinghe Valley.

The Green Crane Valley got its name six hundred years ago when a Green Crane monster in the Jindan stage was killed here by the Great Zhou State Master.

The ancestors of the Li, Zhang and Chen families believed that there were treasures left by a great demon here, so they took root here and have multiplied from generation to generation to this day.

When the flying boat came to a steady stop, Li Qing walked out of the cabin door, only to find that the family team that came to greet him was quite large.

"Aqing, as for the matter of building the foundation, man proposes, God disposes. Just look forward." Li Hui, the patriarch of the Li family, patted him on the shoulder and whispered to comfort him.

The great elder Li Yao on the other side stroked his beard with a smile and told him the good news: "Good news came from Yanling Valley a few days ago. Brother Zhe succeeded in building his foundation."

Second Elder Li Fang nodded and said, "My Qinghe Valley Li family also has the protection of a foundation-building cultivator. Don't put too much pressure on yourself..."

"Li Zhe has established his foundation?! No wonder the Zhang family and the Chen family didn't do anything weird along the way." Li Qing suddenly realized and breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.

The third elder, Li Ye, also had a smile on his face: "Now that you are back this time, you can be appointed as an elder. In the future, you should plant spiritual plants and refine pills at home, and go out less often."

The Li family's patriarch and elders are all cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and there are only the above four people at present. The three elders are his great-grandfathers, and the patriarch is his grandfather.

After Li Qing was promoted to the ninth level of Qi Refining, he was determined to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. He refused several times and always refused to take the position of elder. The elders of the family knew his ambitions and did not urge him.

Now that his foundation-building efforts had failed and his adventure needed time to settle, he could spare some time to help with family affairs.

Seeing Li Qingsong's promise, Li Hui and several elders smiled even more, and the group returned to the family residence in a mighty manner.

The Li family was divided into two parts, depending on whether they practiced cultivation or not. Ordinary people and those with poor qualifications lived in several towns outside the valley, while those with higher qualifications opened caves on the spiritual vein branches within Qinghe Valley to practice cultivation.

When passing by the residences of Zhang and Chen, Li Qing took a glance and sighed in his heart: "The only way to win is to fight! Although I don't like fighting, there must be a winner in the end."

*
Returning to the cave where he practiced, Li Qing remained silent, but he was not as optimistic as the elders.

Li Zhe is the same age as Li Qing, but he is one generation younger than Li Qing. Because he has a fire spirit root of the upper middle grade, he was recruited as an outer disciple by Yanling Valley in the southern part of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Like the Tanyuan Fairy City, Yanling Valley has several Jindan real people in charge, who are very famous and the competition within the sect is equally fierce.

In order to support Li Zhe's success, the Li family sent most of their profits to Yanling Valley every year.

Li Zhe was quite ambitious. He had reached the peak of Qi Refining at the age of forty and had hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

Laying the foundation is the first hurdle in cultivation. Only those with superior spiritual roots and the legendary earth spiritual roots can break through the barrier on their own without the risk of death.

After all, Li Zhe is only of middle-level caliber. Just in case, he still needs a foundation-building pill to help him break through.

For this, the Li family sold everything they had and donated all their resources to give him a share of a genuine foundation-building pill in Yanling Valley.

It was not until more than ten years later that the Foundation Establishment Pill was finally delivered to him.

And it was Li Qing who went to Yanling Valley to deliver resources to Li Zhe.

After getting the resources, Li Zhe did not reminisce with Li Qing or talk about the situation in his clan, but hurried back to Yanling Valley.

"In his eyes, the importance of the sect's Yanling Valley is probably far more important than the Li family, which has devoted all its strength to support his cultivation!"

But he couldn't mention this matter when he got home, because the chief elder and the clan leader were both direct descendants of Li Zhe.

Li Qing was only born in a remote branch, so he certainly understood the principle of not alienating relatives.

He advanced to the ninth level of Qi training after Li Zhe, practiced spiritual planting and alchemy, and was supported by his family. When it came to the strategic resource of foundation building pills, the family was powerless, so he could only think of a way to fight for a chance to build a foundation on his own.

"Fortunately, he is from the Li family after all. After successfully building his foundation, he can still intimidate the Zhang and Chen families."

After all, the other two families only got to know the foundation-building cultivators through marriage, and their relationship is not as close as that between the Li family and Li Zhe.

As soon as the news of Li Zhe's successful foundation building came back, the two families stopped their overt and covert attacks. This was the reason.

There was no point in thinking too much. Li Qing looked around the empty cave, put the alchemy furnace in the storage bag back to its original place, and then put a few bottles of ordinary pills on the museum shelf.

At the back door of the cave, in the spiritual medicine garden specially opened for him, except for a small piece of Qingling grass of little value, all the other spiritual plants that were a bit old were pulled out and sold by him.

After being promoted to a top-grade first-class alchemist for more than 20 years, he exchanged all his savings for that inferior foundation-building pill, and now he can be said to be penniless.

Li Qing planted the two witchcraft plants he brought back from Lettuce Island and directly named them rabbit tail grass.

As soon as it entered the spiritual field, the rabbit tail grass, which was originally a little sluggish, sensed the change in the concentration of spiritual energy.

The fluffy ears of corn swayed slightly, slowly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy which was far more lively than that of Lettuce Island, without any symptoms of acclimatization.

In addition, Li Qing also planted some common crops brought back from Lettuce Island in the spiritual field. As a result, they generally adapted well.

He even made a keen judgment based on his years of experience: "The period required for maturity has been shortened by half?!"

A profit channel of reselling spiritual plants/magic medicine by taking advantage of the difference in spiritual energy between the two worlds flashed through his mind.

"There are still not enough samples. Let's put it aside for now." Li Qing shook his head and directed his spiritual consciousness to his dantian.

Perhaps there are differences between the two worlds. After half a month, the portal's phantom was only one-third "charged".

In other words, he would need another month to go to Lettuce Island again: "Luckily I brought Ah Sun back! Otherwise, who knows if he will still be there next time I go there."

While he activated the various protective and phantom formations in the Spiritual Medicine Garden, he used a message talisman to contact Li Wei: "Girl, help me check the vegetable garden to see if there is anyone growing lettuce. Bring a bunch of each."

Perhaps the elf insects born from plants are indeed inseparable from the vast earth and the boundless nature.

Or maybe it was because the Dantian was too monotonous. After staying there for half a month, Asun's mood became noticeably low, and he was not as lively and active as he was at the beginning.

Li Qing had no choice but to take the risk and release it from his Dantian. He also pointed out a spiritual energy node for it in the spiritual medicine garden.

"Come on, Ah Sun, plant your Cordyceps in this location."

Asun crawled over in a daze, tilted his head and called out "Yeah", then opened his mouth and spit out Cordyceps the size of dust particles that fell onto the spiritual energy node.

A faint green light flickered, and after about a quarter of an hour, the lettuce Cordyceps finally grew to the height of a person again.

With the support of Cordyceps, Asun finally felt the abundance of spiritual energy around him. He suddenly became energetic, jumping up and down on the broad lettuce leaves, calling out "Yiyaya".

What surprised Li Qing even more was that with the presence of the elf insects, the spiritual activity of the spiritual medicine garden was actually raised to a higher level.

"This is such a great fortune!" Li Qing looked at the cheerful Ah Sun with a warm smile on his face, and imagined his future farming plans in his heart.

Outside the cave, Li Wei knocked on the golden bell on his door: "Sixth uncle, I'm here with Lettuce!"
