The road to longevity begins with rebirth

"Brother An, why are you here?"

Wang Dazhu was quite happy.

Li An said, "I came here to buy something."

"Hanchun grass? Li An, you don't want to use this to treat your spiritual roots, do you?"

Zhao Xianchuan looked at the two bundles of Hanchun grass on Li An's shoulders and couldn't help but smile.

Some time ago, Wang Dazhu went to Lingzhi Mountain and came back to tell them that Li An had successfully refined his Qi.

He was surprised at the time, but later he found out that forcibly refining Qi when the spiritual roots were damaged would cause great hidden dangers.

Basically, he could only stay at the first level of Qi refining in this life.

"Yes, I heard that this grass has some effect on spiritual roots."

Li An was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Li An, although this grass is effective, the effect is minimal."

Mu Qingwan couldn't help but remind him.

When she entered the door, she had said that she would help Li An with his treatment after successful cultivation, but now she also knew that Li An's injury was almost incurable.

Li An just sighed. Several people chatted for a while beside the trading market.

After four months of entering the sect, Mu Qingwan made the most progress, and has already completed the second level of Qi Refining, and is about to impact the third level of Qi Refining.

Her yellow-grade middle-grade spiritual root has a cultivation speed far superior to others.

Wang Dazhu and Zhao Xianchuan have also entered the second level of Qi Refining.

They entered the sect together, but now, the gap between Li An and them is getting bigger and bigger.

Even their clothes are reminding each other of their status. Li An's chores are a little dirty and old because of long-term labor.

Mu Qingwan and others' robes are bright and beautiful.

Li An learned that they came to the trading market to buy spiritual rice.

"The sect's spiritual beast mountain range has recently experienced a small beast tide. I heard that it was caused by the birth of spiritual beasts with powerful bloodlines..."

"The sect has issued a task to capture overflowing spiritual beasts in exchange for contribution points."

Li An was slightly startled.

Spirit beasts are similar to humans, and their bloodlines are also divided into four levels of heaven, earth, black and yellow.

It can trigger a beast tide, so the blood of this spirit beast must be at the Xuan level.

Even if the spirit beast with Xuan level blood grows normally, it can become a second level spirit beast in the future, which can be comparable to human foundation-building cultivators, and even has a high chance of growing into the third level!

A third level spirit beast is equivalent to a human Jindan stage cultivator.

This kind of spirit beast is extremely rare. You must know that Xuanyang Zhenren, the leader of Xuanyang Sect, is only a Zhendan cultivator.

"By the way, Li An, aren't you a spirit plant husband? How about it, do you have any extra spirit rice? We are all acquaintances, we will take care of your business..."

Zhao Xianchuan asked with a hint of superiority in his eyes.

"Sorry, Senior Sister Xu Qiuhui just passed by, and I sold all my spirit rice."

Li An spread his hands.

"Xu Qiuhui is sure to become an inner disciple. She bought so much spirit rice, maybe she wants to trap the young beast with Xuan level blood to prepare for exchanging for foundation-building pills..."

Mu Qingwan whispered.

"Brother An, we are going to attend a small gathering. It is said that inner disciples will appear. Do you want to go?"

Wang Dazhu invited enthusiastically.

Li An said bitterly: "No, I finally got a leave. If I don't go back, I won't be able to finish the work."

He said goodbye.

Looking at his back carrying Hanchun grass, Mu Qingwan sighed slightly with some complex eyes.

...

After leaving the trading market, Li An did not go back to Lingzhi Mountain directly.

He went to the exchange office of the sect again and exchanged two books for a spiritual stone.

"Basic Medicine" and "Summary of Talismans".

Basic Medicine mainly explains the medicinal properties and uses of some common herbs, as well as the identification of some spiritual herbs.

Summary of Talismans talks about the basic essentials of making talismans, mainly for beginners.

These two books are basically common goods in the sect, so they are relatively cheap.

In his previous life, Li An cultivated to the stage of forming a pill, and had dabbled in alchemy, talismans, medicine, etc. He had already mastered these knowledge.

Especially in the field of talismans, he was even better at it in his previous life.

The reason why he bought it was for future development.

In case he suddenly showed some talents and abilities, it would attract the attention of interested people.

…

After returning to Lingzhi Mountain, Li An stopped stealing spiritual rice.

Because the insect pests were getting more and more serious, there was a tendency to flood. If he stole again, it would be easy to cause problems.

After completing the rain-making task every day, Li An would occasionally study basic medicine and talisman outlines, and boil water containing spring grass every night.

Occasionally, he would find some wild grass in the nearby mountains and fields to boil.

Fan Jie stayed overnight at Zhang Susu's residence every three or five days, so he also knew Li An's situation. He just sneered at this and thought that Li An was doing useless work.

…

That day, Li An was hunting in a forest not far from the spiritual field. His cloud-making and rain-making skills became more and more perfect, so he had already completed the rain-making task in the morning.

"This mountain forest is the only area where stinkwolves grow."

Li An hid behind a huge rock. He practiced the life-nourishing and immortal-casting skills. The breath of the life seed enveloped him, making him seem to merge with the surrounding plants and trees.

A yellow shadow flashed quickly in front of him.

In front of Li An, a water arrow instantly formed and shot out with a whoosh.

With a hiss, the stinkwolf ten meters away was instantly shot and fell to the ground on the spot. It fluttered twice and stopped moving!

Li An walked out with satisfaction.

His water arrow skills were already handy, and the killing range was as high as fifteen meters.

Thanks to the life-nourishing and immortal-casting skills, his spiritual energy was thick and long, and his recovery was extremely fast. He could even shoot about twelve arrows in a row.

This strength can even crush the cultivators of the second level of Qi training!

"The first leaf of the life seed has fully unfolded, and the second leaf has also shown a small green dot, and is about to sprout..."

Li An is confident that he can reach the second level of Qi training within a year!

Everything is full of hope.

He picked up the body of the stink wolf and returned to his residence. He cut open the stink wolf's buttocks with a knife and took out the sticky stink gland.

A foul smell hit Li An, who felt nauseous and hurriedly practiced the life-nourishing immortality technique, holding his breath and throwing the stink gland into the pot.

"The evil dove grass is enough to kill the borer, and with the stench of the camphor wood root and the stink wolf, no one can guess it."

He promised Xu Qiuhui that he would send another 100 kilograms of spiritual rice next month. If the pest is not solved, not to mention the extra reward, he might even lose money!

It was not easy to get in touch with Xu Qiuhui, but it would be ruined.

In his previous life, he was born in a cultivation family, and there were also spiritual fields in the family, so he knew one or two secret recipes to deal with pests.

The secret recipe is actually very simple, it is to boil water with the evil dove grass, which is extremely effective in killing insects.

In order to cover up the secret recipe, they deliberately found camphor wood roots, stink rats, etc. to cook together, confusing the line of sight and preventing the secret recipe from being guessed.

In the dark soup in the pot, a strong stench gushed out and spread far away.

"Li An, are you cooking s?!"

Fan Jie was eating at Zhang Susu's residence, and he almost vomited on the spot. He ran out and kicked Li An's door, pinching his nose and scolding him.

Li An hurriedly explained: "Report to the immortal, I have studied a decoction that can kill insects according to the medicine book, and I am experimenting..."

"Experimental bullshit, you are still studying decoctions, turn off the fire immediately!"

Fan Jie couldn't stand the stench.

Li An hurriedly turned off the fire.

...

The next day, Li An led the boiled pot of decoction into the rain when the clouds and rain were flowing. About an hour after the rain, large numbers of borers died in Li An's field.

Moreover, the spiritual rice was not affected!

"The effect is so good?!"

Fan Jie was a little surprised when he saw it. Li An, this guy, actually studied something from the basic medicine book that was everywhere?

He couldn't help but be surprised. During this period, he was already exhausted because of the insect plague!

He immediately found Li An and asked Li An to help him boil a pot tonight. He would use it.

This surprised Li An.

He thought of the formation that stole the spiritual field in the spiritual field.

Fan Jie had never allowed Li An and others to set foot on the spiritual plant mountain...

Did Fan Jie plant something on the mountain that was infested by insects?

But he didn't say anything and agreed.

"Li An, can you boil a pot of this soup for me too?"

Zhang Susu also came to the door. Since she invited Fan Jie to dinner, her life has improved rapidly.

Now she is radiant, with a rosy face, and she no longer wears chores, but wears her old skirt, which makes her look more charming like a young woman than before.

Li An said: "Sister Susu, you may have to wait. It will take me a long time to find all the herbs..."

"Don't worry, I won't use you for nothing. When my spiritual rice matures this month, I will give you half of the extra reward. How about it?"

She said with a smile.

The main thing is that the insect plague has become more and more serious in the past few days, and even Fan Jie can't solve it. If it goes on like this, her spiritual field will probably have no extra harvest.

Li An agreed happily.

Even Wang Zilin limped to the door, looked at Li An hesitantly, and said: "Brother An, I..."

"Ninety-five percent, give me ninety-five percent of your extra reward, and I will make a pot for you."

Li An looked at him.

When Wang Zilin heard this, his mentality was about to collapse. Damn, a pot of soup medicine, he had to share ninety-five percent of the extra income? !

Is this Li Baopi?

However, if the pests were not solved, not only would his monthly salary be deducted, let alone the extra income.

He had no choice but to agree.

…

In the next few days, the Lingzhi Mountain became very fragrant.

Fan Jie did not dare to stay at Zhang Susu's place these days, because the smell of Li An's cooking medicine was too pungent.

…

Soon, the third batch of spiritual rice was harvested.

This time, there was no impact from pests, and all the spiritual fields had a good harvest.

Li An became the big winner. His own spiritual fields received extra rewards, and with the commission from Zhang Susu and the others, the extra income directly reached 138 kilograms.

Li An could not help but feel happy. It was really the most enjoyable to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.

On the last day of this month, he went to the trading market again to fulfill his agreement with Xu Qiuhui.

He learned that the small beast tide in the Lingshou Mountain Range had been continuing, so spiritual rice would continue to be popular for a long time to come.

Then he bought another 20 kilograms of spring grass.

…

Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, eight months have passed.

"Almost done."

Li An's condition is getting better and better. He has finally reached perfection at the first level of Qi training!

He can now strive for the second level of Qi training.
