The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 4: Buying and Redeeming Seeds
"I have offended the clan leader today! Will my mother be affected?" Chen Jinshu asked his mother with a worried look on his face, holding the green jade token in his hand.

Chen Wu was very pleased to hear this. She pursed her lips and smiled faintly, gently stroking the back of her hand.

"My mother's cultivation is quite advanced. Even if she's not very good, she can still protect herself! She has some reputation in the family, so the clan leader won't treat me harshly."

Mrs. Chen Wu stroked her daughter's hair, her eyes full of love.

My daughter seems to have become much more sensible after this incident.

She had previously worried about whether her daughter could take care of herself while practicing in Vulture Peak, but now that she sees her daughter growing up, she feels much more relieved.

"Don't worry, Shu'er! Your second uncle is about to break through to the ninth level of Qi training. Who in the family dares to treat your mother harshly?" Chen Wentan was relieved after hearing this and spoke out.

"Jinshu would like to thank my second uncle first." After hearing this, Chen Jinshu felt relieved and bowed slightly to Chen Wentan.

"Shu'er, you're too polite! We don't have to be so polite as a family!"

……

At the hour of Mao the next day, a thin layer of snow slowly fell on Ningyu Mountain in the early morning.

A green figure walked out of the courtyard and ran quickly up the mountain.

Chen Jinshu learned a lot of information about Lingjiu Mountain from his mother yesterday. This time, he planned to go to the family library to exchange for some cultivation techniques, and also to purchase some spiritual seeds from the affairs hall.

The news that she broke off the engagement in the hall yesterday had already spread throughout the family. Three out of every five monks passing by were talking about it. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she got up at dawn.

The three acres of spiritual fields in Lingjiu Mountain are the family's compensation for their deceased father. In addition, there are one hundred family contribution points and two hundred spiritual stones.

This compensation is already among the best in the family, and only members who have reached the late stage of Qi training can enjoy it.

After my father got into trouble, the family made compensation immediately to stabilize people's hearts.

Mrs. Chen Wu was afraid that her daughter would spend it recklessly, so she kept it with her.

Yesterday, she was also given fifty contribution points and one hundred spirit stones, and the remaining half was left to her sister.

The original body had saved up spirit stones over the years, and most of them were spent on the Huanyan Pill. She only had twenty spirit stones on her. Later, she spent a few more on studying the lotus birthmark on her forehead. Now, including the ones given by her mother, she only had a little over one hundred and ten spirit stones.

Lingjiu Mountain is a little far away from the family, estimated to be more than two thousand miles away, and is close to the edge of the family territory. Because there is a spiritual vein flowing through it and there is a plain, it was cultivated by the Chen family into a spiritual field.

It takes three days for a Qi-cultivating cultivator to reach the destination, even if he is riding a flying spiritual device. It also takes one day for a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, there is a market about 300 miles from Vulture Peak, called Luoxia Market. It was jointly established by various families to facilitate transactions among the cultivators of various families.

My mother had never visited the three acres of spiritual fields on Lingjiu Mountain since she got them, so naturally she hadn't taken care of them. Therefore, she had to take care of them herself this time, so she had to make sufficient preparations before leaving.

After a moment, she stopped in front of a towering palace.

At this time, the sky was still dim with a light snowfall, and there were only a few people coming and going in the Family Affairs Hall.

After Chen Jinshu confirmed the location, he quickly covered the curtain and walked towards the office hall.

"Uncle, I want to buy some first-level spirit seeds!" She came to the counter and said to her uncle who looked middle-aged.

"Give me the family token!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinshu handed over the token.

"So it's Jinshu! Uncle heard that you've just recovered from a serious illness? Are you feeling better now?"

"Thank you for your concern, second uncle! Jinshu is much better now!" Chen Jinshu was stunned after hearing this, and looked at the person in front of him carefully through Mu Li.

In just a moment, she remembered that it was her second uncle Chen Huaiyuan, who was in charge of the family affairs and business, and had reached the late stage of Qi training.

"Let's go to Lingjiu Mountain to take over your father's three acres of spiritual farmland! Lingjiu Mountain has a high altitude and is directly exposed to the sun, which is more suitable for growing heat-resistant spiritual medicines. Do you want your second uncle to recommend a few to you?" Chen Huaiyuan handed the token back and asked softly.

He and Chen Jinshu were from the same family three generations ago, but they later separated. However, he still felt sorry for this estranged niece. Such a good child had been turned into what she is now by the family's marriage scheme.

However, the Chen family is weak, and only in this way can the Chen family have a moment of peace, and the Chen family members are also very conflicted.

When he saw Chen Jinshu nod obediently, he immediately said:
"Magnolia is one of the main ingredients in refining the Lingyuan Pill, a elixir for the initial stage of Qi training. It matures every six months and can be planted twice a year, in early spring and early autumn. One acre can grow 300 plants. One spiritual seed costs five spiritual stones, and there are 100 seeds..."

After hearing this, Chen Jinshu pondered over it and finally chose two spiritual medicines, the golden vine flower and the magnolia flower, and one kind of wood spiritual rice, and asked for three spiritual seeds of each.

She also bought spiritual tools such as spiritual hoes needed to cultivate spiritual fields.

"I wonder how much a bottle of Ling Yuan Dan costs?"

After she put away the spirit seeds and tools, she thought of the lotus birthmark on her forehead. It would be too extravagant to always use spirit stones for cultivation. It would be better to switch to spirit pills.

"Two spirit stones for each, and there are ten in a bottle."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinshu slowly counted the spirit stones in his hand, and finally gritted his teeth and bought a bottle.

So she only had more than fifty spirit stones left in her hand.

I didn't expect that I would spend half of it just by coming to the office.

"This spirit stone is really not durable!"

Then Chen Jinshu covered his face with a veil and headed towards the family's tallest tower library in the wind and snow.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, we finally arrived in front of the library tower.

At this moment, there was no one else in the library except the clan elder who was guarding it.

The library has three floors in total. The first floor is the magic area, the second floor is the skills area, and the third floor is only accessible to those in the family who have established a foundation.

Now that Chen Jinshu already has the skills, he only needs to choose a technique from the first level this time.

There are many techniques that need to be learned to cultivate spiritual fields, including the golden needle technique, the spiritual rain technique, the spiritual accumulation technique, and the wood spiritual technique.

When the Golden Needle Technique is performed, it can transform into tiny golden needles, which are specifically used to deal with pests in the spiritual fields. The Spirit Rain Technique is used for irrigation, and the Spirit Nourishing Technique is used to heal wounds and nourish the roots of spiritual medicines.

Wood Spirit Technique can stimulate the spiritual power of wood to promote the growth of spiritual medicines, but it needs to be performed for a long time to be effective.

In the library, one of these low-level spells can be exchanged for five contribution points. Chen Jinshu found them all after searching on the first floor for a while.

At this time, she was looking up other spells. She would be practicing alone in Vulture Peak, so she had to find some offensive spells to protect herself.

Finally, she picked and chose, and chose the Spring Thunder Technique and the Spirit Vine Technique.

When performing the Spring Thunder Technique, a small ball of thunder can be condensed in the palm of the hand. When smashing it out during attack, it can produce an explosive effect, which can have unexpected results at critical moments.

The Spirit Vine Technique, as the name suggests, is to use spiritual power to stimulate the formation of spirit vines, manipulate the spirit vines to control or attack.

Because these two techniques are more practical and powerful, they require ten contribution points each.
She finally exchanged for a complete collection of spiritual beasts and plants to help her understand the habits of spiritual plants, spending five contribution points.

Since I have decided to leave the family, it is better to use up these contribution points.

The original body had not yet reached the family's requirement of eighteen years old, the requirement for accepting tasks in the middle stage of Qi training, so the contribution points were only ten per year, and there were only fifty this year.

There are still 55 contribution points left, and Chen Jinshu plans to exchange them for a cultivation skill.

In this way, she can make other income besides practicing. Otherwise, how can she afford to wait for half a year or a year for the spiritual medicine and rice to mature?

Two years later, Xuanming Sect will accept disciples. Breaking through two levels in two years is something that many cultivators cannot accomplish.

For her, it was as difficult as an insurmountable chasm. Without enough resources, the lotus petals were just decorations.
