Longevity begins with Zongmen handyman

Chapter 8
"Brother An, why are you here?"

Wang Dazhu was quite happy.

Li An said: "I'm here to buy something."

"Hanchuncao? Li An, don't you want to use this to heal your spiritual root?"

Zhao Xianchuan glanced at the two bundles of spring grass on Li An's shoulders, and couldn't help smiling.

Some time ago, Wang Dazhu went to Lingzhi Mountain and came back to tell them that Li An succeeded in refining Qi.

He was surprised at the time, but after inquiring about it later, he found out that forcibly refining Qi with a damaged spiritual root was a huge hidden danger.

Basically, you can only stay at the level of Qi Refining for the rest of your life.

"Yes, I heard that this grass has some effect on spiritual roots."

Li An is neither humble nor overbearing.

"Li An, although this grass is effective, the effect is negligible."

Mu Qingwan couldn't help reminding her.

When she entered the door, she once said that she could help Li An to heal her if she practiced well, but now she also knew that Li An's injury was almost hopeless.

Ang Lee just sighed.

Several people chatted for a while beside the trading market.

In the four months since entering the door, Mu Qingwan has made the most progress. She has already completed the second level of Qi Refining and is about to hit the third level of Qi Refining.

Her yellow-rank middle-grade spiritual root can be cultivated much faster than others.

Wang Dazhu and Zhao Xianchuan have also entered the second floor of Qi Refining.

They started together at the beginning, but now, the gap between Li An and them is getting bigger and bigger after all.

Even the clothes reminded each other of their status. Li An's uniform was dirty and old due to long-term work.

The robes of Mu Qingwan and others are bright and beautiful.

Li An learned that they also wanted to buy Lingmi when they came to the trading market.

"The spirit beast mountain range of the sect recently had a small beast tide. I heard that it was caused by the birth of spirit beasts with powerful blood..."

"Zongmen issued a mission to capture the overflowing spirit beasts in exchange for contribution points."

Li An shivered slightly.

Spirit beasts are similar to humans, and their bloodlines are also divided into four levels of heaven, earth, black and yellow.

If it can trigger a beast tide, I am afraid that the bloodline of this spirit beast is about Xuan level.

Even if a spirit beast with a mysterious bloodline grows normally, it can become a second-order spirit beast in the future, comparable to a human foundation-builder monk, and even has a high chance of growing into a third-order spirit beast!
A third-order spirit beast is equivalent to a human alchemy cultivator.

This kind of spirit beast is extremely rare. It should be noted that Xuanyang Zhenren, the suzerain of Xuanyangzong, is only a true alchemist.

"By the way, Li An, aren't you the husband of Lingzhi? How about it, do you have any extra Lingmi? They are all acquaintances. We will take care of your business..."

Zhao Xianchuan asked with a hint of superiority in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Senior Sister Xu Qiuhui just passed by, and all my Lingmi is sold."

Li An spread his hands.

"Xu Qiuhui's attack on the inner sect disciples is sure, and she bought so much Lingmi, maybe she wants to trap the cubs of the mysterious bloodline, and prepare for the exchange of the foundation pill..."

Mu Qingwan whispered.

"Brother An, we are going to attend a small gathering. It is said that inner disciples will appear. Are you going?"

Wang Dazhu is a warm invitation.

Li An was a little bitter: "No, I finally asked for leave. If I don't go back, I won't be able to finish my work."

He said goodbye.

Looking at the back of him carrying Hanchun Cao away, Mu Qingwan had complicated eyes and sighed slightly.

……

Leaving the trading market, Li An didn't go directly back to Lingzhi Mountain.

He went to the sect's exchange office again, spent one spirit stone, and exchanged for two books.

"Basic Medicine", "Summary of Talismans".

Basic medicine, mainly explaining the medicinal properties and uses of some common medicinal herbs, as well as the identification of some spiritual herbs.

The summary of talismans is about the basic essentials of talisman making, mainly for beginners.

These two books are basically a commodity in the sect, so they are relatively cheap.

In his previous life, Li Anxiu had dabbled in alchemy, talismans, medicine, etc. from alchemy to alchemy, and he had mastered this knowledge a long time ago.

Especially in the talisman, he was better at it in his previous life.

The reason why he bought it was for subsequent development.

In order to prevent him from suddenly showing some talents and abilities, attracting the attention of interested people.

……

After returning to Lingzhi Mountain, Li An suspended the theft of Lingmi.

Because the pests are becoming more and more serious, there is already a tendency to flood, if you steal again, it is easy to cause problems.

After completing the task of making rain every day, Li An would study basic medicine and talisman outlines from time to time, and boil water containing spring grass every night.

Occasionally, he would find some weeds to cook in the nearby mountains.

Fan Jie stayed overnight at Zhang Susu's residence every now and then, so he also knew about Li An's situation, so he just sneered at it, thinking that Li An was doing useless work.

……

On this day, Li An was hunting in a forest not far from Lingtian.

His technique of moving clouds and distributing rain became more and more perfect, so he had already completed the task of distributing rain in the morning.

"This mountain forest is the only area where stinky weasels grow."

Li An was lurking behind a huge boulder. He was running the Nourishment and Casting Immortal Art, and the breath of life seed wrapped him, making him seem to be integrated with the surrounding vegetation.

A yellow shadow quickly flashed in front of him.

In front of Li An, a water arrow formed instantly and shot out with a whoosh.

With a hissing sound, the stinky weasel ten meters away was shot instantly, fell to the ground on the spot, and stopped moving after two thumps!
Li An walked out satisfied.

His water archery is already handy, with a killing range of up to 15 meters.

Thanks to the Art of Nourishing Life and Casting Immortals, his aura is thick and long, his recovery is extremely fast, and he can shoot about twelve arrows in a row.

This strength can even crush the practitioners of the second level of Qi training!
"The first leaf of the life seed is fully unfolded, and a small green spot has appeared on the second leaf, which is about to germinate..."

Li An is sure to reach the second level of Qi training within a year!

Everything is full of hope.

Lifting the body of the stinky weasel and returning to the residence, he cut open the buttocks of the stinky weasel with a knife and took out the sticky smelly gland.

A foul smell hit, and Li An felt nauseous. He hurriedly ran the formula of nourishing life and casting immortals, held his breath, and threw the smell gland into the pot.

"Evil dove grass is enough to kill borers, and with the stench of camphor root and stinky weasel covering it, no one can guess."

He promised Xu Qiuhui that he would send another [-] catties of Lingmi over next month. If the pest infestation was not resolved, not to mention extra rewards, he might lose money!

After finally getting in touch with Xu Qiuhui, it would be ruined.

In the previous life, he was born in a cultivating family, and there were spiritual fields in the family, so he knew one or two secret recipes for dealing with insect pests.

The secret recipe is actually very simple, that is, boiling water with Evil Dove Grass is extremely effective in killing insects.

In order to cover up the secret recipe, camphor root, stinky weasel, etc. were deliberately invited to cook together to confuse the view and prevent the secret recipe from being guessed.

From the dark soup in the pot, a strong stench gushed out and spread far away.

"Ann Li, are you a hot cook?!"

Fan Jie was having dinner at Zhang Susu's residence, and he felt like vomiting on the spot. He ran out and kicked Li An's door open, holding his nose and swearing.

Li An hurriedly explained: "Qi Xianchang, I have studied a decoction that can kill insects according to the medicine book, and I am experimenting..."

"Experiment fart, you are still studying soup and medicine, turn off the fire immediately!"

Fan Jie couldn't bear the stink.

Li An hurriedly turned off the fire.

……

The next day, Li An guided the boiled pot of soup into the rainwater when the clouds spread the rain.

About an hour after the rain, a large number of borer insects died in Li An's field.

Moreover, Lingmi was not affected!
"The effect is so good?!"

When Fan Jie saw it, he was a little surprised. This guy Li An actually researched something from the basic medicine book on the bad street?

He couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, during this period of time, because of the insect plague, he was already devastated!
He immediately found Li An and asked Li An to cook a pot for him tonight, he was useful.

This surprised Li An.

He thought of the grand formation in the spiritual field that stole the spiritual field.

Fan Jie has not allowed Li An and others to take a step up Lingzhi Mountain...

Could it be that Fan Jie planted something on the mountain that was infested by insects?

But he didn't say anything, just agreed.

"Li An, can you cook a pot of this soup for me?"

Zhang Susu also came to her door. Since staying with Fan Jie for dinner, her life has improved rapidly.

Now she is radiant, with a ruddy complexion, and she doesn't need to wear a handyman's uniform, but wears the previous skirt, which is more charming like a young woman than before.

Li An said: "Sister Susu, I may have to wait, it will take me a lot of time to find all the herbs..."

"Don't worry, I won't use you in vain. When my Lingmi matures this month, I will give you half of the extra reward, how about it?"

She opened her mouth with a smile.

The main reason is that the insect plague has become more and more serious these days, and even Fan Jie can't solve it. If this continues, her spiritual field probably won't have any extra harvest.

Li An readily agreed.

Even Wang Zilin limped to the door, looked at Li An eagerly, and said, "Brother An, I..."

"Nine and a half percent, I will share ninety and a half percent of your extra rewards, and I will make a pot for you."

Ang Lee looked at him.

When Wang Zilin heard this, his mentality was about to collapse. Damn, for a pot of soup and medicine, he would have to share [-]% of his extra income? !
This is Li Papi, right?

However, if the pests are not solved, let alone extra income, his monthly bill will be deducted.

He gritted his teeth and agreed.

……

In the next few days, Lingzhi Mountain became very interesting.

Fan Jie didn't dare to stay at Zhang Susu's place for the past few days, because the smell of Li An's cooking medicine was too smoky.

……

Soon, the third batch of Lingmi was harvested.

This time, there was no pest infestation, and all the spiritual fields had a bumper harvest.

Ang Li became the big winner. His own Lingtian received additional rewards, and together with Zhang Susu's commission, the extra income directly reached 130 jin.

Li An couldn't help being in a good mood, sitting back and enjoying the rewards, it really was the best.

On the last day of this month, he went to the trading market again to fulfill the agreement with Xu Qiuhui.

He found out that the tide of small beasts in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range has been continuing, so Lingmi will continue to be popular for a long time to come.

Then he bought another twenty catties of spring grass.

……

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, eight months have passed.

"almost."

Li An's condition is getting better and better, he has refined Qi and finally reached perfection!
You can attack the second floor of Qi training.
