Longevity begins with Zongmen handyman

Chapter 4 The First Level of Qi Training

Five days have passed.

In the evening, Li An closed the door tightly as usual, and then lit a fire to cook.

In order to prevent people from noticing the smell of the new Lingmi that is not fully ripe, he adds more than a dozen grains of ripe Lingmi to it every time.

In fact, the difference between the aromas produced by the two is not too big, and it is impossible for Wang Zilin and Zhang Susu to find out.

But being cautious has been engraved into Li An's bones and has become an instinct.

In the past few days, Li An can harvest about a catty of Lingmi every night.

This is the limit.

Because his method of stealing was too careful, he only took three or five grains from each ear of rice, not the whole ear.

While taking it, he also used his nails to camouflage the bite marks of some insects and ants, so the speed was very slow.

Moreover, Li An is not greedy, the main reason is that there are many impurities in the spiritual rice, and the speed of extracting spiritual energy is limited.

Currently, his body can digest at most one catty of Lingmi in a day.

No matter how much it is, it is just wasted and cannot be absorbed.

This is because he has benefited from his previous life's practice experience, otherwise, like Wang Zilin and others, at this stage, he would die half a day every day!
This is the importance of resources, if you use spiritual stones to practice, you will absorb spiritual energy many times faster!
Naturally, the progress of cultivation will be faster.

……

A big pot full of spirit rice came out, and Li Ansheng ate it with big mouthfuls.

The taste is not as fragrant as the fully ripe Lingmi, and it tastes vaguely grassy, ​​but Li Ang likes it so much.

A big pot of rice is all eaten.

Li An inspected his body. Under the nourishment of a large pot of spirit rice every day, the green shoots in his dantian had become the size of a pea.

But still budding!
In the past few days, about one-fifth of Li An's spiritual root destroyed by Lei Lingqi has been repaired.

It was slow, but he was satisfied.

This fully proves the heaven-defying effect of Yang Ming Zhu Xian Jue.

After all, if the spiritual root is damaged, generally only the second-grade elixir can repair it!

A second-grade elixir, let alone a handyman like him, even a full-fledged disciple would not be able to ask for it.

……

Wait till night falls.

Li An, as always, sneaked into the Lingtian.

After a few days of observation, he has a deeper understanding of this spiritual field as a whole.

There are spirit gathering arrays around the spiritual field, which can gather spiritual energy for crops to grow.

However, the uneven distribution of the Juling Array resulted in the poorest land on the left and the poorest quality of Lingmi.

The right is next, the middle is the best!
Tonight, he directly touched the middle area, which is the core production area and the center of the spirit gathering array.

Under the moonlight, the rice in front of me is tall and dense, and the ears of rice are full.

Li An's movements were extremely skillful, and he went all the way along the ditch.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, a blue locust that landed on Li An's sleeve caught his attention.

Borers are nocturnal and feed on rice leaves. The larvae resemble maggots, and the adult form is similar to moths.

It's normal to have borers in the spiritual rice field, but this insect is fat and big, and its body has a sense of transparency, obviously it has become spiritual!

This is not right, there are very few borer insects that can be spiritualized, and usually only show signs of spiritualization in the adult stage, and the current spiritual rice is not enough to support their spiritualization.

Li An paid attention and walked along the ditch.

The terrain here is the flattest, and the water in the ditch hardly flows, and is in a static state, but as he walks, his skin is keenly aware of the movement of the water, as if something is absorbing water in front of him.

Li An touched it, and sensed that the surrounding area was extremely rich in aura. At the intersection of the two ditches in front, there was the sound of "gurgling" water.

That's a vortex!
The water flow in the spiritual field was sucked into it.

Moreover, the spiritual energy in the spiritual field also gathers from here, and is carried by the water flow to nowhere.

On the weed leaves around the whirlpool, there are more than a dozen huge stem borer larvae, almost all of which are transparent and have turned into spirits.

"It turns out that someone is stealing spiritual energy!"

Li An suddenly realized.

In this vortex, there must have been a hidden mechanism formation, which stole part of the spiritual energy in the spirit gathering formation in Lingtian.

"This vortex that steals the aura has caused the aura in the spiritual field to be unbalanced, so it has also produced a large number of borers..."

Li An pondered, who would be the one who stole the spiritual energy?
He subconsciously glanced at the top of Lingzhi Mountain.

Fan Jie is the only possibility.

Guard yourself! ?
However, Li An has no desire to meddle in other people's affairs.

On the contrary, he was quite happy, and caught all the spiritual borers on the grass leaves around the whirlpool.

In the words before crossing, these bugs are all high-grade proteins!
A thumb-sized spiritual borer contains almost the same spiritual energy as a catty of spiritual rice.

If it weren't for the gathering of spiritual energy here, the entire spiritual field probably wouldn't be able to produce so many spiritual borers.

For a cultivator who has just stepped into the Qi refining stage, this is a rare and precious food, but for a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi refining like Fan Jie, it is useless.

Of course, these bugs also contain a small amount of insect poison, so other low-level servants don't know how to eat them.

Therefore, these borers have never been caught.

On the contrary, it was cheaper for Li An!

Moreover, as long as the aura remains unbalanced, there will be no shortage of the spiritual borer in the spiritual field.

"There will be more and more borers, and the more serious the pest infestation, the less likely it is that my stealing of Lingmi will be discovered!"

Li An was relieved, after collecting the worms, he continued to collect the lingmi.

……

the next day.

Early in the morning, Fan Jie went down the mountain. He had something to go out, so he stopped by to check the progress of Li An and the other three's cultivation.

"Well, Wang Zilin, right? You've already achieved a small success in cloud-spreading and rain-distributing skills."

"Zhang Susu is also good."

Wang Zilin practiced the fastest, followed by Zhang Susu, which made Fan Jie quite satisfied.

Especially Zhang Susu after successful Qi training, her luster is more charming, and her figure has been raised by Lingmi to be more graceful, Fan Jie even greedily looked at it a few more times.

"Li An, what about you?" Fan Jie turned to look at Li An.

"Reporting to Immortal Elder, my spiritual root is damaged, and I haven't been able to enter the first level of Qi training yet..."

Li An's face was ugly.

"Haven't practiced Qi yet?!"

Fan Jie frowned suddenly, the flesh on his face trembled, and he shouted: "There is only half a month left, you haven't practiced Qi yet, you came to my Lingzhi Mountain to have a meal?"

Li An lowered his head and dared not speak.

"Don't think it's okay if you don't talk. I tell you that Lingzhi Mountain doesn't support idlers, let alone disabled people. After half a month, you can't participate in farming. All monthly allowances will be deducted. Get out!"

"Understand?"

Li An said: "The disciple understands."

Only then did Fan Jie snort coldly, and said: "I have something to leave the mountain. During this period, you are not allowed to go up the mountain, or I will find out and break your dog legs."

After speaking, he turned and left Lingzhi Mountain.

"Li An, haven't you repaired your spiritual root yet?"

After Fan Jie left, Zhang Susu asked questions.

Li An smiled wryly and shook his head: "Not yet...I'll try again."

After speaking, he went back to the house.

"Susu, leave him alone. I've heard people say that unless he can get a second-grade elixir to mend his spiritual root, he will never have a chance in this life. He is destined to be a useless person..."

"Come on, how about we practice Xingyunyuyushu together? I feel that I have made some progress, and I can share my experience with you..."

Wang Zilin's cheerful and triumphant voice could be faintly heard from outside the room.

……

Today's dinner is very delicious.

Dozens of spiritized larvae were cooked together with the spirit rice, giving the rice a hint of meaty aroma.

The aura and life essence in this pot of rice are almost equivalent to the amount of all the spiritual rice in the past half month.

After eating it, the Ming Seed grew visibly to the naked eye, as big as a peanut.

The top of the life seed is even more pointed, as if a sprout is about to emerge.

……

Another ten days passed.

In three more days, the one-month "newcomer period" for the three of them will end.

In the evening of this day, after eating, Li An inspected his dantian and finally showed a relaxed and satisfied smile.

In the dantian, a green seedling has "broken the ground" and grown a tender leaf.

Li An's broken spiritual root, under the nourishment of the life seed, finally recovered!
It's a miracle!
Because, even if you get the second-grade elixir, it will take about half a year to restore the spiritual root.

"With the Life Seed, my vitality and resilience have been significantly improved. Even if I don't practice now, as a mortal, I can easily live to 120 years old."

Li An whispered, and then took out the small half of the spirit stone.

Low-grade spirit stones contain limited aura.

Moreover, Ang Li knew very well that this should be one-third of a complete spirit stone.

The three of them had to distribute a total of three spirit stones every month, but Fan Jie withheld two, and then divided one into three for the three of them.

What a dog.

But entering the first level of Qi training should be barely enough.

Li An absorbed the rich spiritual energy in the spirit stone, and then operated the formula of nourishing life and casting immortality, refining the spiritual energy into his body.

Five more days passed.

Li Ancai finally succeeded in Qi training and entered the first level of Qi training.

"The speed of cultivating the Art of Nourishing Life and Casting Immortals is really... relatively slow."

Li An woke up with a complicated look on his face.

Even Zhang Susu, Wang Zilin, plus those who are familiar with Tuna Jue, the total time is seven days.

The real time for Qi training should not exceed two days.

But Ang Lee spent so long...

However, what satisfies him is that the qi he cultivated is very pure without any impurities.

After all, the road to practice is long and difficult, and Li An's mind has long been tempered to be firm and steady, and he will not be anxious because he falls behind others.

At the same time, Li An urged the Life Seed, so that his spiritual roots continued to show a broken state.

——This is one of the special effects of Life Seed, which can disguise and hide one's own state and breath.

……

It has been more than half a month since Fan Jie went out, and he still hasn't come back.

At noon three days later, he finally returned from the outside.

"Come out and assemble!"

……

　It will be updated every morning at [-] am starting tomorrow.
