Dao Seed Immortal Lord

Peach Blossom Village.

Early in the morning, Li Bai was groggily awakened by the crowing of a rooster. He had just washed up and eaten a hard cornbread when a voice called out from outside the door: "Little Bai, it's almost time, hurry up and come to the square to meet us."

"They're here."

Li Bai took a few bites and crushed the remaining half of the cornbread in his hand. He then swallowed two mouthfuls of cool well water, reached for a palm-sized animal skin bag at his waist, and a smile appeared on his face.

The animal skin bag is a low-quality magic artifact called a Qiankun bag, provided by the Liuyun Sect to its menial disciples. It contains a space of nine cubic meters.

Give them the spiritual plants and herbs they harvest daily to store.

Each quarter's harvest is collected by members of the immortal sect, who then distribute the seeds for the next quarter.

Having traversed this cultivation world for over a year, Li Bai was no stranger to such experiences, having gone through similar situations several times.

A wisp of divine sense probed into the Qiankun bag, and saw that it contained a small mountain of low-grade spiritual grains. In the corner, there were also three one-year-old Qi Refining Grasses and one two-year-old Qi Refining Grass.

Looking at these resources, Li Bai was envious, but he dared not reach out to them.

Spirit plant servants are at the very bottom of the Liuyun Sect, almost like servants or slaves.

Although he possessed a spiritual root, it was only the lowest-grade pseudo-spiritual root of the five elements, which was the same aptitude as most other spiritual plants and servants.

They have the opportunity to cultivate immortality, but the hope is extremely slim.

The Liuyun Sect was willing to take them in and grant them the Qi Refining Method, but they could only become the lowest-level spirit plant servants, planting spirit plant resources for the Liuyun Sect. They had specific tasks every quarter and needed to hand over the full amount of spirit plant harvest. They worked from dawn till dusk, which was even worse than the tenant farmers under the landlords in their previous lives.

Even so, every year a large number of people still choose to join the Liuyun Sect and become its spirit plant servants.

I only seek a slim chance of a divine connection.

If they were to actually have the opportunity to cultivate to the third level of the Qi Refining Realm, they would still have the chance to apply for an introductory trial mission.

As long as you pass the trial, you can become a true disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect.

"My harvest this season is pretty good, exceeding the quota by nearly 10%." Li Bai withdrew his divine sense and pondered, "Completing the task will earn me ten contribution points, and with the excess and my savings over the past year, I should be able to exchange them for five Qi Refining Grass seeds."

Outside.

An elderly man with slightly graying hair and a hunched back was waiting. When he saw Li Bai come out, the old man muttered, "He always drags his feet like this. He's really going to delay the schedules of those senior brothers from the immortal sect. Be careful he doesn't get punished by them."

"Old He, you're too early." Li Bai followed Old He and quickly joined the other spirit plant servants of Peach Blossom Village, arriving together at a square in front of the village.

Peach Blossom Village wasn't originally a village.

It was only because there were many spirit plants and servants that the people gradually lived together and eventually evolved into a village.

The village is surrounded by the spirit fields of the Liuyun Sect, which are planted with all kinds of spirit plants, most of which are low-grade spirit rice, the staple food of many cultivators of the Liuyun Sect.

Secondly, there are various kinds of spiritual plants, including vegetables, spiritual melons and fruits, and so on.

The entire Peach Blossom Village has nearly five hundred spirit plant servants, some of whom are young people like Li Bai who have just arrived, and others like Lao He who are already in their seventies or eighties.

However, at a glance, including Li Bai, there were very few spirit plant servants who had mastered the Qi Refining Technique and entered the ranks of true Qi Refiners.

Old He spent decades in Peach Blossom Village cultivating, only to reach the first level of the Qi Refining Realm through the passage of time.

As for Li Bai...

He traveled through more than a year, and if you include the six months his predecessor spent here, it was exactly two years.

Currently, I have accumulated over seventy strands of magical power in my dantian, which is still a little short of the one hundred strands needed to establish a basic foundation for becoming a Qi Refiner.

Of these seventy-odd strands of magical power, seventy were accumulated over a year after he transmigrated.

If it were based on the progress of the previous incarnation's cultivation, there might not even be ten strands of magical power left now.

"They're here, they're here."

"Oh, two immortal masters have arrived this time..."

"Wow, it's actually flying on a sword! It can actually fly on a sword."

The crowd in the square looked into the distance, deep in the mountains, where two streaks of light appeared as fast as lightning and approached Peach Blossom Village amidst the swirling clouds and mist.

They both practiced Qi cultivation techniques and possessed divine sense, so they were naturally able to sense the two powerful magical auras rapidly approaching each other.

Upon seeing that two beams of immortal light arrived on swords, the crowd erupted in excitement.

Li Bai followed the crowd's gaze, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Sword control..."

Old He, who was frail and elderly beside him, was also secretly surprised and whispered, "The immortal who came this time is not simple. It is said that the cultivator who can fly on a sword must have a cultivation level of at least the late stage of Qi Refining Realm. Tsk tsk tsk."

Soon, two dazzling figures descended before everyone's eyes.

As the light faded, two unfamiliar figures appeared before everyone. They both looked quite young, a man and a woman, who had come together.

The two arrived, their cold gazes sweeping across the entire scene. Even without displaying their magical power, their terrifying aura still caused everyone to feel suffocated and fall silent.

"My surname is Feng, and I am an outer disciple of the Liuyun Sect. Beside me is my junior sister, Wang."

The young man said, "The outside world has been quite turbulent lately, and Junior Brother Zhao has other missions. Therefore, we will be collecting all the tributes from Peach Blossom Village from now on. You can exchange any seeds you wish for with us."

"Those whose names are called, come up."

"Chen Dabao".

An elderly servant with snow-white hair walked forward with faltering steps, his hands trembling as he took out his storage bag.

The young man took the storage bag and examined it. His brows furrowed immediately, and he looked coldly at the old servant, calmly saying, "Not enough for the quota... This is the third time in a row, so you can leave now. Go back, and perhaps you can see your family one last time."

The old handyman trembled. Although he had expected it, he still couldn't help but shed tears when he heard the words "let him retire."

However, he did not insist on staying. Although his cultivation was not good after so many years of seeking the Dao, his state of mind was not bad after being tempered by the years.

"Understood, I'll pack up and leave." The old servant bowed and sighed.

The young man nodded slightly and said, "You still have 120 contribution points. You can exchange them before you leave."

After some hesitation, the old servant finally chose to exchange for a Qi Refining Technique that could be passed down through generations, as well as a few low-grade spirit rice seeds.

With these, perhaps his family's descendants will still have hope of pursuing immortality after leaving the Liuyun Sect.

"Next up, Yuan Haisheng."

Standing at the back, Li Bai watched as one senior after another stepped forward to hand over their resources and receive seeds of spiritual plants or other spiritual beast cubs for the next season from this immortal.

For example, spirit chickens, spirit geese, spirit pigs, etc.

Although not many people in the village choose to raise livestock, there are still twenty or thirty people.

When Li Bai first saw those mythical beasts such as spirit chickens, spirit geese, and spirit pigs, he was stunned for a long time, his horizons broadened considerably.

This cultivation of immortality is not just ordinary; it's down-to-earth, not much different from the life of a farmer in my previous life.

Before long, it was Li Bai's turn.

He stepped forward and presented the Qiankun bag. After inspecting it, the immortal nodded in satisfaction and looked at him, saying, "Not bad. Including this time, you now have fifty contribution points. What would you like to exchange for?"

Li Bai said, "It's still one mu of spirit rice seeds and two Qi-refining grass seeds. Then, use contribution points to exchange for five more Qi-refining grass seeds."
