Chapter 89: The Fruit Tree Becomes a Spirit
Hearing this, Li Qing couldn't help but smile and said, "You two are a wonderful couple."

The man was a little embarrassed, but still said with courage: "This spiritual insect tastes special when eaten. When the ancestor is free one day, I will ask my wife to send some to you."

"Okay." Li Qing nodded slightly, turned around and looked at the dragon blood rice field. With a flick of his fingers, the Qingmu Zhenyuan turned into Xunfeng and blew across the leaves.

"Swish..." The yellowish tick was blown by the wind and fell into a small wooden barrel at the edge of the field, and was immediately sealed by a ban.

He sensed it with his spiritual sense and said with a smile: "I see a trace of pure earth element in this object. If we cultivate it, we may be able to obtain a spiritual Gu. You can take it back to your wife."

The man hurriedly took it, a hint of joy on his face: "Thank you, ancestor, for your reward and advice."

Li Qing thanked Li Lang and the other two who were using the method to treat the insects for their hard work, and then he carefully observed the growth of the dragon blood rice.

This magical rice is grown because it is soaked in dragon blood. Its leaves are deep red from the moment they sprout, and gradually turn into dark red as they grow.

Two months later, the leaves of the grass have completed tillering, and each stalk of grass has grown many branches, looking quite lush.

"You two have made great contributions to the growth of these seedlings." Li Qing smiled and praised Li Wei and Li Lang.

He pondered for a moment, then casually pushed aside a bunch of grass leaves: "My Qinghe Valley's spiritual veins are still insufficient, so I'd better pick these useless tillers."

Most of the tillers pointed out by Li Qing could not produce ears, or had a low ear-setting rate, so keeping them would only waste soil fertility and bring little profit.

If it were a large-scale planting, it would be fine if it was inconvenient to clean up. But now it is only the first season of planting, and there are not many plants, so it can be cared for more carefully.

Li Lang quickly responded: "I have had this idea for a long time. But Dragon Blood Rice is precious, and I thought it would be good to have a few more grains, so I didn't do it."

Li Qing pinched a tiller to dispel everyone's worries: "If you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences. If you can harvest more seeds, then a few fewer grains will not matter."

Li Lang hurriedly said, "Thank you for your teachings, Grandpa. I will definitely take good care of these dragon blood rice."

Li Qing nodded, and gave a few more instructions before using the Qingmu Fa Guang to lift up Li Wei and flew straight to the sacred peak where the Jiuxuan fruit trees were planted.

Using the cardinal talisman to open the restriction of Lingfeng, Li Qing looked at the mountain of lettuces and the spiritual chives planted among them, and couldn't help but smile: "Thank you for remembering. I'm afraid Asun himself has forgotten..."

In his dantian, Ah Sun cried out twice in protest: "Aiyaya!" (No!)

Li Qing summoned it from his Dantian and placed it on a lettuce: "Then you should work harder. Sell more lettuces to earn more spirit stones, and strive to achieve spirit stone freedom as soon as possible."

Ah Sun was full of energy. He greeted Li Wei with the tip of his tail, then flew to the core node of Lingfeng Mountain with a cloud of air and planted the Cordyceps: "Yaaa!"

Li Wei looked at the little guy with high morale and felt her heart melt: "Uncle, I haven't seen you for two months. Has Ah Sun lost weight?"

Li Qing was stunned, and after a careful look, he suddenly realized, "He is not thin at all. He has grown taller..."

In that world, he had never heard of the fairy bug growing taller. This was another reason why Ah Sun was different from others.

Li Wei felt relieved, and then she remembered that there seemed to be something wrong with the Jiuxuan fruit tree: "Uncle, let's take a look at the fruit tree first?"

Li Qing found the nearest one, whose leaves were slightly yellow and the tips of the buds were a little wilted.

Li Wei's face turned bitter: "I used my spiritual sense to check and found that the roots of this plant were slightly rotten, but I used many spells and it still didn't work."

Li Qing closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then dug up the spiritual soil, and with his fingers as sharp as swords, he directly cut off the rotten roots: "It's still the same sentence I said just now, if you don't cut it off, you will suffer the consequences. Since it's already rotten, it's better to clean it up." As soon as he finished speaking, the tender buds on the top of the fruit tree wilted and fell off.

"Uncle!" Li Wei couldn't help but exclaimed.

Li Qing was very calm. His true essence turned into green light and sank into the tree, and he performed the foundation-building spell "Dead Tree Revives in Spring".

The cut at the root of the tree healed quickly, and a small bud sprouted from where the top bud had just fallen.

Li Qing covered it with spiritual soil and replaced a few spiritual stones to help it heal properly. Then he turned around and warned Li Wei: "I know you are cautious and afraid of hurting the tree and getting into trouble, so I handled it conservatively."

"This business is shameful to begin with. Now that I have been promoted to the foundation-building stage, I have the capital to bargain. I don't expect to be picked on by the Liu Yuan family's teacher over these minor details."

"Then you can be bolder and more decisive. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and her clear eyes became much firmer: "Wei'er has learned your lesson."

Li Qing simply found two fruit trees with the same symptoms and gave them to her to deal with.

Li Wei did not hesitate to refuse, and dug up the spiritual soil neatly, found the rotten root, turned her magic power into a wind blade, and cut it accurately: "Uncle, please give me some advice."

Li Qing scanned the area with his spiritual sense, pointed at one of the plants and said, "There are still some hidden lesions here. If it is not cured, it will recur."

Li Wei looked at the flawless white roots and couldn't find the cause of the disease. She simply made up her mind and started the operation directly from the place closer to the main root.

Li Qing's breath stagnated, but he didn't say much. He just cast two more "Dead Tree Resurrection" spells on the fruit tree, and catalyzed it with the Qingmu Minor Magical Ability.

The Jiuxuan fruit tree was delicate, and the other trees also had their own problems, some of which were quite tricky, forcing him to rely on his minor magical powers to avoid losing face in front of his juniors.

Li Qinglue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the last tree: "Did you plant this one? It's been carefully cared for and looks quite energetic."

Unexpectedly, Li Wei frowned and said, "Uncle, I think there is something wrong with this tree."

Li Qing raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong? I see that it is full of vitality, with new branches and tender leaves. There is nothing that makes me dissatisfied."

Li Wei squatted down and put her ear to the tree trunk: "I can always hear the tree talking these past two days. But I used my spiritual sense to check and found nothing wrong..."

Li Qing laughed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about. Can a tree talk? It can't be that it has just become a spirit after it was planted, right?"

This world of cultivation is the most harsh on plant creatures. No matter whether they are mortal plants or spiritual plants, it is impossible to become spiritual without hundreds or thousands of years of practice.

As long as the roots are shallow and the restrictions are not serious, there is still hope of becoming a plant elf like the ginseng baby or the chariot and horse grass.

Spiritual plants were particularly constrained. Over the past thousand years in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were very few spiritual plants that could communicate with spirits, and there was no record of any that could transform into human form.

However, Li Wei was very sure: "Uncle, I thought it was an illusion at first. But recently, the voice has become clearer and clearer. I think, maybe it is real?"

Li Qing thought of a possibility, and his mind moved. He used the Taihao Palace map to bless his divine consciousness and scanned the fruit tree from the roots to the top buds.
