"Mom, breakfast this morning was delicious," Zhou Ling said.

He didn't know if it was because of his cultivation last night, but he felt particularly hungry this morning and had a big appetite.

"Eat more! You've been drawing magical artifacts every day, and you've lost weight!" Li Ru looked at the child with affection and served him another large bowl of spiritual porridge.

Slurping and slurping, Zhou Ling quickly finished the spirit porridge.

Just then, there was a creak!
The door opened, and Zhou Shan walked in from outside.

She walked briskly, her face beaming with joy, and her hair was damp at the temples due to the morning fog.

"how's it going!"

Li Ru poured a bowl of water, handed it to him, and asked.

"Ling'er was right, thirty-five spirit fragments are actually cheap!"

"These are the spirit stones for sale this time: a total of seventeen low-grade spirit stones and fifty spirit fragments."

Zhou Shan excitedly took out a bag of spirit stones from his body and handed it to Li Ru.

He took the earthenware bowl again and gulped down a large mouthful of water.

He added, "Manager Zhao also asked me what Ling'er's relationship was with their eldest son."

"I don't know how to answer that, I can only say that we've met a few times!"

Having heard Zhou Ling mention his acquaintance with He Zijian, he knew that the two were merely acquaintances and not particularly close friends.

Zhou Ling didn't say anything. His parents were honest people and didn't know how to curry favor with those in power.

I met He Zijian and his sister by chance, and we can't really be considered close friends.

He simply liked the siblings because of their good personalities.

"So many spirit stones!"

Li Ru poured out the spirit stones, carefully counted them, and looked excited.

Each spirit stone appeared exceptionally bright and lustrous under the slightly dim light.

The distillery is doing quite well now.

However, the main product sold is ordinary spirit wine. Each jar of spirit wine contains two or three pieces of spirit, and one or two pieces of spirit can be earned.

Because of the high sales volume, one can earn two or three low-grade spirit stones a day.

This has already satisfied the parents.

Unexpectedly, this single order today, after deducting costs, yielded a profit of over ten spirit stones.

This was something they never dared to even imagine.

"Isn't this making too much money?!"

Counting the spirit stones, Li Ru said somewhat guiltily.

"Mom, you work so hard every day, this is all we should earn, there's no way it's too much!"

Zhou Ling said with a smile.

Fortunately, the output of first-class high-quality brewing furnaces has increased significantly nowadays.

A single brewing session can yield 30 to 40 jin of liquor, or 50 jars of spirit liquor, roughly equivalent to two and a half batches.

In addition to the spirit wine sold in the distillery, about five batches need to be brewed a day to meet the demand.

This workload is not small.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ling couldn't help but say, "Mother, why don't you just focus on brewing the fine spirit wine? Ordinary spirit wine doesn't earn much anyway, so don't bother brewing it!"

"I won't have to work so hard in the future!"

“Earning spirit stones is never easy.” Li Ru put the spirit stones back into her spirit stone bag, her face beaming with joy. “Besides, we rely on our neighbors to buy ordinary spirit wine, so we can’t refuse to buy it!”

"Your mother is right. Without the support of our neighbors and friends, the winery wouldn't be doing so well now!"

Zhou Shan ate a meat bun and said with a smile.

Hearing his parents say this, Zhou Ling smiled and didn't say anything more. He picked up the food box, said goodbye to his parents, and headed to Maple Leaf Mountain. "I'll keep these seven spirit stones for supplies, five for living and cultivation expenses, and save the remaining five for my son's future expenses at the Dao Academy."

As soon as Zhou Ling stepped out of the courtyard, he heard his mother's murmured voice behind him.

Hearing his mother's words, even though five low-grade spirit stones were no big deal to him now, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

······.

For the next few days, Zhou Ling traveled to and from Maple Leaf Mountain every day.

During the day, he cultivates the "Five Elements Qianyang True Technique" and prepares for the first-grade technique master examination.

When I returned in the evening, I refined the two soul imprints provided by Deacon Qin.

He would occasionally enter the [Simulated Illusion] to train and improve his combat strength.

In the middle of a jungle, Zhou Ling, who was locked in a stalemate with the Haoyang Bird in the air, looked at the prompt that appeared on the panel.

There's no need to show joy on your face.

The talents 【Basic Observation】 and 【Basic Analysis】 were both indicated as 【Intermediate Observation】 and 【Intermediate Analysis】.

Moreover, with the improvement of his two talents, the Haoyang Bird in his field of vision seemed to have undergone a noticeable change.
The Haoyang Bird roared angrily, opened its beak wide, and a golden flame condensed and blasted towards Zhou Ling.

The enormous body erupted with a huge wave of fire, causing the entire jungle to tremble.

Zhou Ling took a deep breath, activated his lightness technique, and his sleeves fluttered as he was buffeted by the scorching air waves generated by the Haoyang Bird.

With the blessing of the two talents, a Haoyang Bird seemed to appear in his sea of ​​consciousness, also shooting fireballs, and it was incredibly fast.

As the image appeared in his mind, he felt that it seemed to be the scene of the Haoyang Bird's fireball bombarding him the next moment.

Although it seemed somewhat unbelievable, we proceeded according to their reaction.

It quickly spun to the side.

Rumble!
The next moment, the golden fireball slammed heavily into the spot where Zhou Ling had been standing, sending debris flying and creating a huge crater.

It was accompanied by flickering flames.

Zhou Ling was also greatly surprised; the potential of this Haoyang Bird was truly astonishing.

However, by analyzing the Haoyang Bird's attack route in advance, and dodging the Haoyang Bird's attack, a thought flashed through his mind.

Simultaneously activating [Sword Control] and [Beast Pressure], the Fire Qi Sword in his hand shot out like a fire snake, heavily striking the back of the Haoyang Bird.

Bang!
The Fire Qi Sword transformed into a streak of flames and swept across the back of the Haoyang Bird, leaving a deep wound.

The Haoyang bird let out a mournful cry, a look of fear appearing in its eyes. With a flap of its wings, it soared into the air.

"They actually defeated the Haoyang Bird this time!"

Landing on the ground and sheathing his Fire罡 Sword, Zhou Ling gasped for breath, watching the Haoyang Bird fly away in the air, still muttering to himself in disbelief.

However, he also knew in his heart that this attack was only able to achieve such an unexpected effect because of the improvement of [Basic Observation] and [Basic Analysis].
