Longevity: Start by refreshing your entries through farming.

Chapter 4 Shopkeeper Liao

The issue of spiritual rice tax has finally come to an end.

Qin Ming no longer has to worry about going to the front line for the time being.

"This time, we must strive to break through to the third level of the Qi training stage!"

In a quiet cottage.

Qin Ming sat on the straw mat on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, his mind focused, and in his hand he held a low-grade spirit stone, the spiritual charm of which was rapidly dimming.

In a moment.

The spiritual energy in the spirit stone was gradually absorbed by him.

Qin Ming opened his eyes, looking a little ugly.

He just squeezed it lightly, and the spirit stone in his hand turned into a pile of powder.

"Hey, using spirit stones to practice is a complete waste for me."

“It’s a bit of a loser.”

In the world of cultivating immortals, the external spiritual energy between heaven and earth, as well as the spiritual energy in spiritual stones, are all wild.

It is too chaotic and complicated to be directly controlled by low-level cultivators.

If one wants to transform it into one's own magic power, one needs to absorb it through the cultivator's spiritual roots and continuously transform it through practice.

Tame the external spiritual energy and turn it into your own magic power.

The level of spiritual root qualifications directly affects the efficiency of this absorption and transformation.

Qin Ming shook his head.

"The words are still good."

The 'weak magic power' in the entry no longer needs to be absorbed and refined through spiritual roots, he can use it directly.

This time, he planned to use two leaves of the 'Weak Mana' entry to try to break through.

"Two 'Weak Mana' entries are equivalent to half a year of hard training for me."

He calmed his mind and cleared his mind of distractions.

Qin Ming focused his mind, and the first 'weak mana' entry was used.

Even though Qin Ming was used to it, when the endless flow of magic power came like a tide, it still caught him off guard.

Under the guidance of his "Changchun Gong", the surging magic power began to circulate in his body.

It circulates endlessly, continuously, and returns to the Dantian.

The "Changchun Gong" was passed down from Qin Ming's immortal cultivation family. It is not a profound technique, but just a common one.

The main purpose is to maintain health. The Qi meridians are long, the power is mediocre, and the practice is as slow as a turtle.

But it also has its advantages, that is, after this technique is practiced to a high level, it has a certain effect of prolonging life.

As the main practice, one will have a little more lifespan and magic power than the cultivators of the same level.

If you switch to other techniques midway, it will be ineffective.

This is quite consistent with Qin Ming's personality.

'Growing crops, growing grass, refreshing the mind and returning to the embrace of nature, isn't that great? '

"If you insist on fighting and killing each other, and fight for everything, in the end it will be nothing, alas..."

But that's what it says.

Over the years, Qin Ming has had a different experience with this.

The resources in the entire world of immortal cultivation are so limited.

The skills, tools, spiritual materials, elixirs and other resources are all controlled by those famous sects.

The big sects and powerful cultivators eat meat, while the "individual cultivators" can hardly even drink soup and can only survive in the cracks.

Unless you are a natural talent.

Otherwise, if you don’t move forward, you will hardly make any progress on the path to immortality.

Even a sect of immortal cultivators like Lingyu Sect did not hesitate to mobilize the entire sect, cross unimaginable distances, and come here from thousands of miles away to open up the land.

Aren’t they all for cultivation resources?
……

Qin Ming used up a 'weak mana' entry.

But his slightly loosened bottleneck still did not respond.

His brows were furrowed and his expression was serious.

He made up his mind and continued to use up the remaining 'weak mana' entry.

a long time.

Two consecutive 'Weak Mana' entries were exhausted.

But there is still no breakthrough.

"Alas, this is the difference in aptitude and talent!"

"The peak of the second level of Qi training."

Qin Ming was still a little bit away from the third level of Qi training.

"If it were someone else, considering the mana provided by the previous 'Weak Mana' entry, they would have already broken through."

However, Qin Ming did not give up.

If it were in the past, if we practiced step by step, we wouldn’t know when we would see any results.

The current situation is much better than before.

Although there was no breakthrough in this cultivation, the Qi Hai Dantian was widened a lot.

The magic power in the body has also increased by one third compared to before.

And now he is just one step away from success, he just needs to endure for some time.

"We can't go on like this. We need to adjust our thinking."

"After growing the animal tooth rice, maybe we can try the body-refining technique first?" "At least it can enhance some of the self-protection ability."

'However, with my current level of spiritual planting, I am afraid that I must cooperate with the 'ripening' item to plant animal tooth rice, otherwise it is hard to say whether it will succeed.'

"If we fail, and waste the animal teeth and rice seeds, it will not be worth it."

Qin Ming thought about it again and again.

I already have a plan in mind.

Finish the exercise and get up to cook.

After breakfast.

Qin Ming went out and came to Qingyang Market again.

Juxuan Pavilion.

It is still the same shop located in the center of the city. In addition to the restaurant on the first and second floors, many other businesses are also being run on the floors above.

I think anyone who can run a business in this position must have good connections behind the scenes.

The shopkeeper’s surname was Liao. When he saw Qin Ming, he gave a standard professional smile.

Qin Ming was also straightforward. He slapped his storage bag, and two large bags of spiritual rice appeared on the ground in front of him.

Shopkeeper Liao was quite surprised that Qin Ming could take out so much spiritual rice at one time.

There is a whole bag more than last time.

As far as he knew, the tax rate levied by Lingyu Sect on these spiritual farmers was 70%. Based on this calculation, it basically meant that the young spiritual farmer in front of him had harvested at least eight stone of spiritual rice this season.

It is enough to prove the other party's spiritual plant level.

Only those more experienced spiritual farmers can achieve such a high yield.

Otherwise, he has great talent and attainments in the field of spiritual plants.

If it is the latter, maybe there will be a possibility of advancing to become a first-level spiritual plant master in the future.

The store clerk has completed the inspection and weighing.

Shopkeeper Liao showed a warm smile on his face, and at the same time, he slightly raised his judgment of the status of Qin Ming, a low-level spiritual farmer.

"A total of two hundred and twenty kilograms of golden spirit rice."

"Fellow Daoist Qin, as usual, here are forty-four spirit stones."

"Can I see if there's anything I need to buy in our store?"

"Our store has everything you need. We can satisfy your every need."

Qin Ming was well prepared.

He took out a drawing from his pocket, which showed a small clock. He then handed it to Shopkeeper Liao and said, "I want to customize a small clock like this. Let's see if it's possible."

"Of course, Fellow Daoist Qin, this is probably a special spirit bell for performing the Beast Exorcist Technique, right?"

"This pavilion has its own equipment refining shop, and we happen to have stock in stock."

"A low-grade magical instrument, the beast-ringing bell. Hui Cheng will give me ten spirit stones."

In the hand of Shopkeeper Liao, a palm-sized spiritual bell appeared. He handed it to Qin Ming with a smile and introduced it, "When used with the Beast Exorcist Technique, it will automatically shrink and expand."

“It’s so cheap?”

This price was a little beyond his expectations, and he had originally planned to spend a lot of money.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Qin, you don't know that the key to this beast-driving technique lies in the mastery of magic. This bell is just an auxiliary prop."

"Let me remind you, Fellow Daoist Qin, that this beast-driving technique is extremely difficult to practice."

"Many cultivators in the Lingyu Sect's camp had customized this item before, but only a few of them were able to master it completely."

Qin Ming understood what he meant.

To put it bluntly, no one buys it.

If you fail to practice the magic formula, the special spirit bell will become a decoration, wasting spirit stones and causing huge loss.

But for Qin Ming, there is no such thing as not being able to practice.
He paid ten spirit stones, took the spirit bell, and then asked a question.

"Is there any elixir that can improve Qi training?"

Qin Ming was still unwilling to give up on the fact that he had not broken through to the third level of the Qi training stage.

"Yes, please move to the third floor."

After a while.

Qin Ming walked out of the store with a normal expression.

He had forty spirit stones on him but couldn't spend them.

Because the price of the cultivation-enhancing elixirs on the third floor starts at 60 spirit stones.
Shopkeeper Liao enthusiastically escorted Qin Ming out of the store.

……

on the way back.

Qin Ming went to the supervisor Du Haifu and prepared to rent another acre of spiritual field.

With his current level of cultivation and limited energy, five or six acres of land is already his limit.

"Oh, Xiao Qin is here?"

"You're too late."

"Just a while ago, there was not a single piece of spiritual farmland left on the mountain. They have all been rented out!" Du Haifu took a sip of tea and told him the news slowly.

!!!

Qin Ming pondered.

"Not good! It's just as I expected."

“Next year, I’m afraid everyone will have to fight hard for the production of Lingmi.”
