Grow from a fairy seed

Chapter 18 The bottleneck of the second level of Sword Technique, geniuses gather in Jingxin Pond!

Ji Qiu taught Zhutao the Lingxi Jue, and then let Zhutao start to feel the existence of spiritual energy.

After Zhutao entered a meditative state, Ji Qiu went out and began to practice sword-wielding.

He had already touched the threshold of the second level of the Blood-Drinking Sword Technique a few days ago.

While hunting the purple-haired three-tailed marten, there were even signs of a breakthrough.

The blood-drinking sword art at the second level will be greatly enhanced in terms of speed, power and ability to absorb blood!
Ji Qiu wanted to practice the sword art to the second level before the Xinxin Pond appeared.

He recalled the feeling when he was fighting the monster, controlled his vitality, and let the blood sword strike out at the limit speed again and again.

Two hours passed.

Zhutao in the house felt the first ray of spiritual energy.

She followed Ji Qiu's teachings, running the exercises to purify and absorb the spiritual energy.

Yuan Qi flows through the meridians, nourishes her body, and finally returns to the dantian.

Zhutao successfully refined his energy!

She went out and wanted to share the good news with Ji Qiu.

When he opened the door, Ji Qiu was still practicing intently.

Xiaobai hid far away and looked at Ji Qiu.

It was a little afraid of Ji Qiu's sword.

Zhutao sat on the steps, put her cheek on her knees, and looked at Ji Qiu with some attachment.

It wasn't until late at night when Ji Qiu's energy was exhausted that he stopped.

He had some insights, but he was still some way away from a breakthrough.

But this has satisfied him.

The life of a monk is very long, and it is common for the skills to be stuck and unable to break through for more than ten years.

In Ancheng, the most talented monk in the past 20 years is Dai Mingde.

He learned the Huayuan Sword Art at the age of 17, and it took him ten years to break through to the second level of the Huayuan Sword Art.

Ji Qiu's talent has been improved very quickly by relying on Dao Fruit.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and saw Zhutao sleeping on the steps.

"Wake up, it's cold, go back to the house and sleep..."

"Hmm... have you finished training, master?"

"It's over."

Zhutao woke up, and then remembered that she had something good to share, and said happily: "Master, I have refined Qi!"

Ji Qiu smiled: "I feel it."

Zhutao looked at Ji Qiu with a look for praise written all over her face, her eyes were bright and she was looking forward to it.

Ji Qiu deliberately wanted to tease her and said, "Stop looking at me and go into the house."

Zhutao was a little disappointed, but still nodded obediently: "Okay."

Only then did Ji Qiu touch her head: "You did a good job, much faster than I did before."

Zhu Tao smiled happily after being praised: "No, the young master is the most powerful."

"The two spiritual roots are laughing at my four spiritual roots, right?"

"No! Master, you will always be the most powerful in Zhu Tao's heart! It's true!"

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Ji Qiu got up early, changed into old clothes, and started sowing seeds.

For Ji Qiu, a foundation-building monk, cultivating two acres of spiritual land is not difficult.

At noon, Ji Qiu had tidied up his two acres of land and planted it with hempwood.

This is a medicinal material with hemostatic effect. It is often used in healing elixirs. It is easy to survive and the output is stable.

After lunch, Ji Qiu originally wanted to take Zhutao with him to Qingshi Town.

However, an order suddenly came from the spirit tablet.

"All spiritual farmers will cultivate three acres of spiritual fields for the sect this year. They need to be responsible for daily watering, weeding, insecticide, and harvesting. If something happens and they are unable to take charge of the sect's spiritual fields, they will be fined five dollars per month until the spiritual fields are harvested. A low-grade spiritual stone."

Every year, the sect would have various reasons to exploit the labor of spiritual farmers.

Either work, hand over the spiritual stone, or sell the spiritual field and get out.

Spiritual farmers in the Qi refining stage will almost always choose to plant a few acres of spiritual land for the sect.

Although a bit tiring, at least he has the status of a spiritual farmer, can be sheltered by the sect, and can also rely on the spiritual farm to generate stable income.

Ji Qiu doesn't plan to go.

The weeds in the spiritual field grow very fast and need to be cleaned up every few days, which is too much trouble for Ji Qiu.

For half a year and one season, paying thirty low-grade spiritual stones can avoid these troubles.

Ji Qiu is not in a hurry to buy spiritual fields now, and he does not lack these thirty low-grade spiritual stones.

An hour later, a disciple from the sect came over.

Ji Qiu simply took out thirty low-grade spiritual stones and handed them over.

When the disciples of the sect left, Zhutao complained in a low voice: "It's just robbery!"

Zhutao is a little money-lover.

When she was responsible for holding the spirit stones, she wished she could mark every spirit stone.

She was very heartbroken when thirty low-grade spiritual stones were taken away inexplicably.Ji Qiu was quite tolerant: "Go to the market and make some money. You can pick up some leaks in the medicinal materials and earn back."

"Let nature take its course."

Zhutao nodded: "The young master is right."

After handling the sect's affairs, Ji Qiu took Zhutao and set off for Qingshi Town.

The weather is getting warmer.

Along the way, Lingnong can be seen working in many spiritual fields.

For spiritual farmers in the Qi refining stage, farming is much more laborious than Ji Qiu.

They also have to bear the additional burden of the sect's spiritual field, which is very hard and the time for cultivation is also very tight.

Arriving at Qingshi Town, Ji Qiu went to the market and happened to see Li Wenjie.

Li Wenjie had some surprise on his face: "Fellow Daoist Ji, why are you free to come to town today?"

Ji Qiu said: "If you hand over the spirit stone, the sect will be spared the work."

Li Wenjie had a bit of envy in his eyes: "Ji Daoyou is extremely accomplished in medicinal materials, and there is indeed no shortage of such spiritual stones."

"If I had Daoist friend Ji's vision, I would probably be able to purchase some spiritual fields by now."

Li Wenjie is well-informed and can earn some spiritual stones by relying on information. However, he likes to have fun and spends a lot of money, so he cannot save spiritual stones.

Ji Qiu chatted with Li Wenjie for a few words, and then went into the market separately.

These are some rules for casual cultivators.

In order to prevent familiar monks from competing for the same thing, monks who know each other will go separately in the market.

Ji Qiu held Zhutao's hand and glanced at the stalls beside the road.

Ji Qiu's main goal today is still claw-marked jade.

The second thing is to listen to the news.

There are more and more foreign monks, and some famous monks are often talked about.

Ji Qiu wants to know who the monks need to pay attention to this time.

The afternoon passed quickly.

evening.

Ji Qiu checked the harvest.

A total of six high-grade medicinal plants were picked up and ten low-grade spiritual stones were earned.

Still haven’t bought the claw jade.

Ji Qiu heard a lot of the information he needed.

Among the foreign monks, there are four geniuses who are relatively powerful.

Feng Zilin, the third young master of the Feng family in Pingcheng, Lingzhou.

The Feng family is one of the 380 or two weapon-refining families in the Daling Dynasty. They are good at refining magic weapons and have a strong family background.

Feng Zilin seems to be using a mid-grade flying sword, which is considered a first-class treasure among foundation-building monks.

The second head of the Lin family in Rongcheng, Hezhou, is Lin Shaoruo.

The Lin family comes from the Great Spiritual Dragon and Tiger Army. Most of the family members have gold spiritual roots and follow the path of body tempering, which is difficult to deal with.

There are also He Buping, the elder of Huazhou Yushan Sect, and Xiu Lianxue, the elder of Huazhou Weiyuan Sect.

These four people are all geniuses in their 40s and have already entered the late stage of foundation building. Their magic weapons and trump cards are also unfathomable.

There are also many late-stage foundation-building monks in the local area who go to Jingxintan, but their strength is not as good as these top geniuses.

Many monks are preparing to act as a group.

Ji Qiu even heard news from Demingen.

Relying on the Dai family's connections, he got together with a monk who was at the peak of Qin Tiansi's foundation establishment.

This made Ji Qiu a little regretful.

The Pure Heart Pond will not only attract monks, but also monsters.

If Damien acted alone, Ji Qiu might be able to arrange for Damien's accidental death.

But he is protected by monks in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, so it's hard to say.

Ji Qiu also paid attention to the movements of the evil cultivators.

There was no movement at Qingyi Gate. There were many curious people, but no one knew who they had sent.

After the matter was done, Ji Qiu took Zhutao and left Qingshi Town.

Zhutao leaned on Ji Qiu's arm and said with some worry: "Master, do you really want to go to Jingxintan?"

Geniuses from various forces gather together, which feels very dangerous.

Ji Qiu said: "Don't worry, my safety is not a problem, but if I want to fight, my means are still too weak."

Zhutao comforted them: "Don't be in a hurry, young master, they are already 50 years old, and the young master is not yet twenty."

"Among his peers, the young master is already very strong!"

Ji Qiu smiled: "That makes sense, young master, don't be in a hurry."

"If you can get the medicinal materials from Jingxin Pond, take them. If you can't get them, Master, I'll come back empty-handed. It's a small matter."

With the immortal seed in hand, Ji Qiu's mentality is naturally very different from that of other monks, so he doesn't have to worry at all.

Zhutao nodded and asked: "By the way, young master, let Xiaobai go to Jingxin Pond with you?"

"It is very powerful and can help the young master."
