Chapter 49 1 Yuan Heavy Water

After saying that, the little girl dragged out a huge book as thick as a brick from behind the counter and almost threw it in front of Jing Yu.

Jing Yu looked at the book in front of him, looking troubled: "How much is this book?"

"Ten spirit coins." The little girl stuck out her tongue.

"How many?"

Jing Yu was surprised: "So expensive?"

"It's a bit pricey, but it's definitely worth it!" The little girl said with a wry smile, "Why don't you take a look first, fellow Daoist? You can try a few pages of this book for free."

Jing Yu picked up the book and flipped through a few pages at random. His eyes paused on an illustration on one of the pages, and then he turned the page as if nothing had happened.

"This book is okay. I want one."

"Ah? Good!" The little girl showed a look of surprise. She actually didn't expect to be able to sell the book successfully. After all, ten spirit coins were really a lot!

After putting the book into the storage bag, Jing Yu walked out of Xianwen Pavilion as usual, and returned to the shed in the outer market along a small path in the market.

"call……"

Only then did Jing Yu let out a sigh of relief, took out the book [Illustrated Guide to Strange Objects in Yunchuan Territory] from his storage bag, followed the catalog to find the column [Ancient Spiritual Objects], and turned to the corresponding page.

"One Yuan Heavy Water: One of the ancient divine waters. Its appearance is no different from an ordinary water drop, yet a single drop weighs hundreds of millions of pounds. It can be used as medicine, to refine magical powers, and to forge magical weapons. It appeared in the outer space in ancient times, and it is rumored to have fallen to the Immortal Continent along with the world-destroying meteorite. It has been extinct for many years now, leaving only legends."

Next to this note was a picture of one-yuan heavy water. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary water droplet, but upon closer inspection, one could see that the water droplet was actually round and solid, and as viscous as lead and mercury, exactly the same as Jing Yu's spiritual root phenomenon!

Could it be that the vision of his spiritual root is not the lowest grade ordinary water drop vision, but one-yuan heavy water?

The more Jing Yu thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed to him. After all, his speed of drawing Qi into his body was second only to Lu Yingzhao among all the immortal candidates. Even his subsequent speed of practicing the breathing method was astonishingly fast. Back then, Lu Yingzhao relied only on a book on the [Breathing Method] and did not use any cultivation resources. He simply absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the spiritually barren mortal world and it took him seven years to reach the fourth level of Qi training.

The spiritual energy in Wushan Market where Jing Yu is now is much richer than that in the mortal world, and he has a stable income of spirit stones every year to purchase supplies for cultivation. He estimates that even if he does not switch to a water-attributed technique that is faster to cultivate and more in line with his own water spiritual roots, it will not be difficult to reach the fourth level of Qi training in seven years by just using the [Breathing Method], and it may even be faster.

Of course, Jing Yu was not in a hurry to improve his Qi training. After all, he was still an ordinary cultivator with a low-grade spiritual root. If he reached the middle stage of Qi training in just seven years or even faster, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. Although Ku Du Xuan Guang had the effect of concealing breath, it should be hidden from the foundation-building cultivators at most. If he accidentally met a Jindan Zhenren, he would probably be exposed... Now his body training was stuck at the sixth level of body casting. It would be better to take this opportunity to use more spirit stones to exchange for some body-refining medicines, and first train the Ku Du treasure body to the foundation-building stage.

After thinking over the future plan carefully and believing that there was no problem, Jing Yu went to the [Kung Fu Pavilion] in the market town again and spent two spirit stones to buy a water-attributed martial arts [River Sutra]. This money was actually something he had to spend. After all, it was most beneficial for cultivators with water spiritual roots to practice water-attributed martial arts. Both the speed of practice and the quality of spiritual power were incomparable to the attributeless [Breathing Method]. It would be strange if a new cultivator did not spend spirit stones to switch to practicing martial arts.

It had only been less than two days since he came to Wushan Market. One spirit stone was exchanged for spirit money, two were used to buy a technique, and only two of the five spirit stones distributed by the market to naturalized monks were left.

If Jing Yu wanted to buy a few more books on simple spells, or add a second-hand magic weapon, I'm afraid the two remaining spirit stones in his hand would not be enough, and he would have to break them into several pieces to use.

Jing Yu finally understood why so many low-level cultivators would rather rent shacks in the outer districts than spend an extra spirit stone every year to rent a private courtyard with much better experience. It was really because spirit stones were not easy to earn, but there were so many places to spend them, so naturally they would save as much as they could.

"The harvest of spiritual rice will only come next year. If you are an ordinary spiritual farmer, you can use these two spiritual stones to buy spiritual rice for your personal use this year, so as not to delay your cultivation progress..."

Jing Yu had other ideas, so he just pressed the two spirit stones and put them away for the time being.

He took out the three spells of [Spirit Rain Technique], [Earth Containing Technique], and [Green Sprout Technique] from his storage bag and studied them carefully, silently preparing for his career as a Spirit Plant Husband, which would begin in a month...

----

[Year 548 of the Changsheng calendar]

Outside Wushan Market, Lingzhi Garden Area A

The newly planted spiritual rice seedlings stood upright in the field. Jing Yu wore a golden straw hat and carried a large basket on his back. The basket was filled with grown spiritual rice seedlings. Jing Yu skillfully pinched out the seedlings one by one and inserted them into the spiritual field in an orderly manner.

"Huh, this is the first crop planted in the new year... I hope it will be another good harvest."

Now, more than three years have passed since Jing Yu first came to Wushan Market, and he has also worked as a spiritual plant husband in the spiritual plant garden for three full years.

During these three years, thanks to the care of Mu Shan, the deacon of the Spirit Plant Garden, Jing Yu was able to steadily earn 6.25 spirit stones every year. Excluding the two spirit stones he paid for the rent of the shed for two years, Jing Yu had saved a total of more than sixteen spirit stones in these three years.

Originally, there were two spirit stones left when Jing Yu became a citizen, and he had already saved up eighteen spirit stones.

However, some time ago, Jing Yu bought a hundred-year-old red fruit at the underground trading market in Fangshi for a huge sum of eleven spirit stones. After swallowing it, he successfully broke through to the seventh level of Body Forging in the Bitter Crossing Sutra. Now he only has seven spirit stones left.

As for the two hundred kilograms of spiritual rice used for his annual cultivation, Jing Yu did not buy a single grain. In the past three years, he relied solely on practicing the [River and River Sutra] to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and he cultivated to the second level of Qi training. This made Jing Yu more convinced that his spiritual root phenomenon was most likely the ancient sacred water [One Yuan Heavy Water]!

Back then, Yun Xuance had no resources for cultivation in the mortal world, and it took him eight years to reach the second level of Qi training. If he had all the spiritual rice and spiritual pills, the time could be shortened to at least a quarter.

Li Jiangmei, whose talent was slightly inferior to Yun Xuance but still at the same level, had no shortage of resources when she was in the Luding Pavilion of the Demon Sect. It took her five years to train Qi to the third level, and it was estimated that it only took her about two years to reach the second level.

It took Jing Yu three years to reach the second level of Qi training. With the help of magical rice and magical pills, it was a bit fast considering his apparent qualifications, but it was still acceptable.

After all, the early stages of Qi training do not require much accumulation of spiritual power, and the difficulty of practice is incomparable to the later stages. Even if one has poorer aptitude, the progress will not be much slower.

What really widens the time gap is actually the bottleneck between the big and small realms.
