After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 2 Guiding Qi into the Body at Sanqing Mountain

"Lulu, have you been discharged from the hospital?"

Just as Bailu was walking out of the hospital wearing the hat the nurse had given her, she received a call from her boss.

"Have the design plans for Mrs. Chen's whole-house customization been completed yet? They want to see the renderings in the next couple of days."

Egret: "."

What a hard life!

She turned back to the hospital, found the young lady who had given her the hat, and asked her to wrap her head with bandages—don't ask, the answer is that it was too cold, her head was too cold, and the hat was too thin.

Although the young lady didn't understand, she respected the patient's wishes!

Bai Lu works at a company near Shiqu Gymnasium. It's a whole-house custom design company with about thirty employees, including designers and salespeople.

It's not a large business, but the owner is alright.

When Bailu, with her head covered in bandages, took off her hat in the boss's office, the nearly forty-year-old boss was so startled that he immediately stood up and carefully helped her sit down in a chair: "What happened? Didn't you say the injury wasn't serious?"

"Boss, I'm afraid I need to rest for a while. My head hurts."

Looking at the weak egret supporting its forehead, Chen Miao couldn't bring himself to utter the word "no."

This young woman has been with his company since her internship. She is 26 years old now and has been working there for more than four years. He has watched her progress all the way from a base salary of 3,000 yuan to a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan. She is a very ambitious young woman!

"Here's what I'll do: I'll give you a month's leave, but I'll still pay you your base salary. Go back and rest well. If you feel better, come back. Or if you're free and want to do some graphic design, just let me know, and I'll arrange some clients for you."

The design work done by this kid has a high customer satisfaction rate, and he's already a key young talent in his company.

But Bailu refused. After farming for more than ten years, she couldn't even remember the name of the drawing software she used. Besides, she didn't want to work day and night to finish drawings anymore!

How do you think people earn over 10,000 yuan a month?

It was earned with my life!

Most importantly, she couldn't draw qi into her body in the city, so she planned to go back to her hometown, a place truly blessed with natural beauty and spiritual energy, hoping to find an opportunity to draw qi into her body.

Besides, she has missed her parents a lot over the years.

Two kind, honest faces came to mind, making my desire to go home even stronger.

No matter how appealing the boss's promises were, they couldn't keep her.

After leaving the office with the two thousand yuan nutrition allowance given by the boss and handing over her work to her colleagues, the boss asked Minghui, the female colleague who lived with Bailu, to accompany her upstairs to pack her luggage.

"Brother Sanshui, why don't you try to persuade Lulu?"

The veteran employees all condemned Chen Miao for not keeping the girl, which shows that he still had some feelings for Bai Lu.

"What are you saying? I don't want to stay! This young woman, with her head covered in bandages, told you she needed to go back and recuperate for a year or two, saying she was resigning because she was afraid of hindering the company's development. What am I supposed to say? Can't I just say no?!"

Chen Miao is most heartbroken to have lost such an excellent employee!
The employee dormitory is on the sixth floor, divided into male and female dormitories, both four-person rooms. The company provides accommodation but not meals.

Actually, there's not much to pack. I just have a lot of clothes, mostly T-shirts and jeans. I'm at that age where I love to look good, so I also have quite a few skirts, but none of them are brand names, not even niche brands. They were all bought on Taobao for a few dozen yuan with free shipping.

Then there were some toiletries, a few cosmetics, and a few pairs of shoes.

As for the electric hot pot, you don't need oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, or anything like that.

All the items fit into one suitcase, and I was ready to go.

"Going home today? Why not stay another night?" "I checked, there's a high-speed train back to Yangcheng at 3 o'clock, and it's only 2 o'clock now, there's still time."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Minghui could only help her carry her suitcase, since it was quite strenuous to walk up six flights of stairs.

After saying a brief farewell to her reluctant colleagues on the first floor, Bailu took a taxi away amidst the boss's nagging about "why did you have to resign?" She went to the bank to deposit money, with a balance of 262530.9.

I went to the courier station to send my suitcase, and then carried a small backpack to the high-speed rail station.

In the high-speed rail's business class seat, Bai Lu reclined her seat and started to sleep; she was quite tired after all that fussing.

In the evening, the train arrived at the station on time at six o'clock. Bai Lu hailed a taxi and spent two hundred yuan to take a taxi to Sanqingshan.

Sanqingshan is not only a 5A-level World Heritage Site, but also a well-known Taoist blessed land.

The egret plans to come here to find an opportunity to draw qi into its body before returning home.

It was already dark when we arrived, and the scenic area was already closed.

But the egrets still managed to get up there; they just booked a ticket online beforehand.

As Bai Lu walked along the mountain path, feeling the rich spiritual energy of the mountains, she waved her phone and said, "I bought a ticket, you know. I didn't sneak up here! It's just too late today, I'll go and get it checked tomorrow. Please forgive me, Master."

Sanqing Mountain is a sacred Taoist site. Although the incarnation of the patriarch no longer exists, the righteous spirit of the patriarchs of each generation still protects Sanqing Mountain. When visiting someone's home, if they have set a rule that you have to buy a ticket, you should also abide by it, otherwise the host will be angry.

Wow—this spiritual energy!

Even without circulating her inner energy, Bai Lu could feel the strong resonance between the spiritual energy and the spiritual root within her body.

"Does this mean my spiritual roots will be good in this lifetime?"

Bai Lu was overjoyed. In her previous life, she had suffered greatly from mixed spiritual roots. No matter how diligently she cultivated, her cultivation level just wouldn't improve. She watched helplessly as one genius after another formed their core and nascent soul, while she was stuck at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and couldn't advance any further.

There was no one on the mountain path at first, but as the egrets sped up their climb, they saw many hikers and even fellow Taoists.

Bailu remembered the suitcase she had sent home; she had forgotten to bring a change of clothes. She quickly walked up to the fellow Daoist and asked, "Hello, where did you buy this Daoist robe? Are they sold in the mountains?"

"Yes! They sell it at the store we just passed!"

Bai Lu then turned around, bought a Taoist robe, put it in his backpack, and finally climbed for three whole hours to reach Yutai.

This open space is perfect for watching the sunrise.

She found a secluded corner and sat down cross-legged, communicating with heaven and earth through her spiritual roots.

After entering a meditative state, one enters a state of profound mystery.

As the inner cultivation technique was activated, wisps of spiritual energy, invisible to ordinary people, gathered around the egret.

The hour of Yin (3-5 AM) is when Yang energy rises and Yin energy declines. At this time, Yin and Yang interact, and Heaven and Earth interact, making it the best time for cultivation.

Bai Lu, who had been in meditation for several hours, suddenly began to change her hand seals, subtly guiding the spiritual energy around her to flow into her meridians and return to her dantian—

Half an hour later—

"Boom——"

Finally, an invisible barrier vanished under the cleansing of spiritual energy, and Bai Lu was overjoyed—from today onwards, she officially crossed the Qi Induction stage and became a newbie at the first level of Qi Refining!

Moreover, she never dreamed that she actually had a pure wood spirit root!
