The most useless spiritual root at the beginning, I just want to play badly

[The system detects that Qiao'er's favorability is 70. A critical hit will return a medium-grade spirit stone.]

Oh my god! I made a fortune!

Lin Changan, who was eating when he heard the system message, was drooling.

You should know that one medium-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one thousand low-grade spirit stones.

This little girl has so much energy!

Thinking of this, Lin Changan looked at Qiao'er as if he was looking at a huge treasure trove.

Qiao'er felt a little uncomfortable watching this.

"Brother Lin, is there something on my face?"

Could it be that the rice got on my mouth while I was eating? Oh, how embarrassing.

Qiao'er's face turned slightly red.

"No, no, just eat. You can come over when I cook. It's boring to eat alone."

Thinking that there is still room for improvement in favorability, Lin Changan is full of motivation.

When the favorability reaches 100% in the future, won’t the benefits be greater?

Both of them were in a good mood during the meal.

After dinner, Qiao'er felt embarrassed, so she washed the dishes and helped Lin Chang'an finish the work in the planting and breeding areas.

"What a hardworking girl." Lin Chang'an crossed his legs on the edge of the field, looking at the white clouds floating around and thinking.

Everything here is good except that there are too few people. If you want to make more money in the future, you still have to find a place with more people.

The logistics mission site of Zilei Peak is quiet and beautiful, the spiritual fields are planted in an orderly manner, and occasionally the calls of Eight Treasures Chickens can be heard from the chicken coop.

A month passed in a flash.

Lin Chang'an was waving a small hoe, humming a little tune while planting spiritual wheat, with an unconcealable smile on his face.

Last time I gave Qiao'er a low-grade spirit stone, the system generously gave her a medium-grade spirit stone in return.

He seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up, and he was full of energy every day. After all, this was a free resource!

"System, you really understand me. Giving gifts will lead you to a higher realm!" Lin Changan couldn't help but sigh, "As expected, there is gain only when there is sacrifice. It seems that I will make my fortune by giving gifts in this life!"

Not far away, Qiao'er was squatting beside a spiritual field, diligently watering the Eight Treasures Chicken with spiritual water. The girl, holding the kettle in both hands, tilted her head and asked, "Brother Lin, why do you smile so mysteriously all day long? Could cultivating spiritual fields actually yield treasures?"

In the past month, Lin Chang'an often invited Qiao'er to dinner, and all kinds of delicious dishes were cooked in different ways. The little girl felt that Lin Chang'an was her breadwinner, and she looked at him with admiration.

Lin Changan raised his head and smiled inscrutablely, "Qiao'er, you don't understand this. I don't plant treasures in spiritual fields, but what I plant here is hope and the future! Planting a small spiritual field contains great truths!"

"Hope and the future?" Qiao'er was stunned for a moment, then she put her hands on her hips and said in a baby voice, "Are you kidding me?"

Lin Changan chuckled, turned around and continued swinging his hoe: "Yes, I'm going to fool you with this great truth!"

……

As time goes by, Lin Changan and Qiao'er's relationship becomes closer and closer.

Lin Changan has been thinking about the eight-angled black ice grass that Qiaoer needs to unlock.

After all, it is a third-grade spiritual herb. Currently, I am relying on the rewards I get from giving things to Qiao'er, and I don't know when I can get it.

Who should I look for?

"This thing doesn't suit my temperament at all!" Lin Changan calculated the remaining resources at hand. "Looks like I have to find another way. Qiao'er has such great potential, I can't stop investing in her!"

He felt like he was racking his brains, but still couldn't come up with an idea. For the first time, Lin Changan felt that his family had money but was powerless.

[Ding! The system has detected the host's strong desire and prompted you to enter the mall to draw a prize to obtain the desired spiritual medicine. Please note that the lottery requires spiritual stones, and even if you don't draw any spiritual stones, they will still be deducted. Please be aware of the risks!]

Oh my god, there’s also a lottery!

However, this kind of gambling-related activity was really...

I like it!

He loves excitement. You know, fortune and wealth come from taking risks. This is the truth his father, Lin Fugui, taught him since he was a child.

Lin Changan looked at his spirit stones, which were the two low-grade spirit stones left from before, and the medium-grade spirit stone he got from Qiao'er this time.

You can’t catch a wolf without risking your child.

Lin Changan gritted his teeth, threw in a mid-grade spirit stone, and got ten chances to draw the lottery.

Once, I missed!

Twice, no win!

Three times, no win!

……

By the eighth time, Lin Changan was really a little panicked.

You know, it's impossible to keep relying on giving things to Qiao'er to get critical hit returns. Once the spirit stones are used up, you don't know when you'll get more.

But I have to give it a try, trading my bicycle for a motorcycle.

The ninth time... I won the consolation prize.

Lin Changan frowned. There's also a consolation prize?

How to comfort?

Click to open, a big smiley face...

Disheveled in the wind.

Lin Changan took a deep breath, changed his hand, and finally made a blind spot.

The system cursor flickered back and forth, finally stopping on a symbol, but it was unclear what it was.

Lin Changan was a little confused. Is this a hidden version?

Click to open... Oh my god, it really is Star Anise Ice Grass!

If Lin Changan didn't think that Xiao Ai was too good at fooling people, he would have wanted to give it a slap.

It's like a pillow is given to you when you are sleepy.

Here it comes!

Thinking that Qiao'er would be able to cultivate to great power quickly after her spiritual roots were unsealed, and that he would soon have someone to rely on, he couldn't be happier.

Giving gifts requires a sense of ritual.

Holding this magical medicine, he specially made a beautiful brocade box to package it. That night, he cooked a few dishes and called Qiao'er over.

Qiao'er has become accustomed to eating for free. She is no longer embarrassed as before, but her face is full of anticipation every time she comes.

I don’t know what delicious food to make today.

I looked at the dishes on the table that I had never seen before: sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed fish, and some stir-fried vegetables.

They are all her favorite foods.

Qiao'er put down the rice and sat obediently waiting for Lin Chang'an to pick up his chopsticks.

If you come to eat for free, you should always be a little discerning and not eat first.

But instead of taking chopsticks, Lin Changan took out a box and handed it to Qiao'er mysteriously.

"Qiao'er, this is a gift for you! Open it and take a look!"

Qiao'er took the brocade box and opened it with a puzzled look on her face. When she saw what was inside, her bright eyes lit up: "Brother Lin, this is the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass?"

"Smart!" Lin Changan put on a smug expression, "Use this and see if you can unlock your stone spirit root."

Qiao'er was so excited that her face turned red, but she still pushed the box in front of Lin Chang'an.

"This thing is too valuable. I...I can't accept it."

Lin Changan was at a loss for words. How could I curry your favor if you didn't want me to?

"It's okay, it's okay. I had no use for this thing and I got it by chance. It's just right for you."

Qiao'er still refused it resolutely.

Lin Changan had no choice but to coax a seven-year-old child.

"Then how about this? If you are unsealed in the future, you can still help Senior Brother Lin, right? This way, my efforts will not be in vain."

This is actually the truth.

Qiao'er thought about it and nodded solemnly, "Okay, from now on, whatever Senior Brother Lin asks me to do, I will do it. I will listen to you from now on."

Lin Changan was excited. He would be a big boss in the future. If he could really do whatever he wanted, he would have a powerful helper.

Lin Changan also nodded seriously.

Qiao'er then carefully took out the Eight Aniseed Ice Grass. To take this herb, it needs to be boiled with spiritual water.

Lin Changan cooked it for her in a medicine pot and brought it to her. Qiao'er drank it in one gulp with anticipation.

A moment later, a rich spiritual energy gushed out from her body, forming a column of spiritual light that even shook the sky.

Lin Changan stood nearby, his smile gradually growing uncontrollable. "Wow! This special effect is even more explosive than my first time refining Qi! System, please give me some rewards to calm me down!"

[Ding! The host donated resources and received a critical hit reward! Reward: Increased cultivation speed, breaking through the fifth level of Qi Refining!]

"Ah! It smells so good!" Lin Chang'an closed his eyes, silently feeling the surge of spiritual energy in his body, and his heart was filled with joy.

However, Lin Chang'an's rapid advancement soon attracted the attention of the outer disciples.

"Menial disciple Lin Chang'an! How could you, a person with five kinds of mixed spiritual roots, break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining in just one month?" Qi Fei, the leader of the outer disciples, appeared at Zilei Peak angrily.

Lin Changan stood calmly beside the chicken coop, feeding the chickens while lazily looking back: "With hard work, with diligence, with getting up early every day to feed the chickens, what's wrong with that?"

"You? It's impossible for you to do this with your talent of five kinds of mixed spiritual roots! We strongly suspect that you cheated!" Qi Fei was aggressive, and the other outer disciples echoed him.

The incident quickly alerted the sect elders, who gathered all the disciples and called Lin Changan to the main hall.

"Lin Chang'an, since your cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds and has aroused many doubts, are you willing to accept the sect's test to prove yourself?" an elder asked in a deep voice.

"A test?" Lin Chang'an rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly curled his lips into his signature "Old Sixth Smile." "Since the elders have arranged it, I'll accept it reluctantly."

"You are so relaxed?" Qi Fei snorted coldly, "I'm afraid you will make a fool of yourself!"

"Easy?" Lin Chang'an turned his head to glance at Qi Fei, spread his hands, and said in a relaxed tone, "Of course, I always treat tests as performances. Just look forward to it!"

There was an uproar in the hall, but Lin Changan was thinking in his heart: "System, for this test, can we arrange some return rewards?" The system rolled its eyes: No.

Out of the mountain.

Qinglong Sect, on the arena.

Lin Changan followed the disciple in charge of reception and walked into the training ground. At this time, many disciples of the Qinglong Sect were already sparring on the training ground.

There are knives, swords, legs, talismans, and dazzling moves.

But there seemed to be some kind of barrier on the arena, and all the attacks were blocked, without hurting anyone below the stage.

What's more, these disciples of the Qinglong Sect were just sparring with each other and did not use any extremely lethal moves.

There were dozens of arenas on the training grounds, but only a dozen or so were fighting. However, many Qinglong Sect disciples were watching and contemplating outside the arena.

As soon as he entered the martial arts training ground, Lin Changan heard many people whispering.

Most of them were talking about the selection of disciples. Yun Yanran and a burly man were surrounded by a group of disciples and went up the mountain.

It is obvious that the news about the five types of mixed spiritual roots joining the Qinglong Sect has already spread in the sect.

As they were talking, Lin Changan was led into an empty platform.

Many Qinglong Sect disciples were watching them. Someone recognized him and immediately asked the guide:

"Junior Brother Zhou, didn't you come here with Senior Brother Murong to greet us today? Why are you here now? Why don't you take our people back to the main hall? What are you doing here?"

Seeing Ye Xiao walking in front, many disciples of the Qinglong Sect vaguely guessed something, but they were not sure.

The person in charge of reception curled his lips at Lin Changan and said reluctantly:

"Brother Murong asked me to send this kid here and help him open a ring."

Upon hearing this, the Qinglong Sect disciples below immediately became interested and started asking questions.

"This disciple recruitment selection is really surprising and interesting."

"Brother Zhou, what is that guy's aptitude? How could he possibly be here? Could it be that his cultivation has already reached the foundation-building stage?"

Upon hearing this, Senior Brother Zhou winked at Lin Changan and joked.

"Five elements, mixed spiritual roots."

When Senior Brother Zhou said this, several disciples of the Qinglong Sect were stunned, and then there was a commotion in the audience.

"What the hell? It's actually a mixed spiritual root, and it's a five-element one? How is this a mess?"

Senior Brother Zhou had a strange look on his face, but he finally replied, "I haven't seen it!
