Chapter 172 Half a Year

The Liu family's clan sacrifice was held very smoothly without any interruption. After watching the sacrifice, all the visiting cultivators stayed on the lake island to enjoy the various spiritual foods provided by the Liu family.

Occasionally, there was news from the scattered cultivator area that in the past three days, the spiritual wine, spiritual rice and spiritual fish on the lake island were all eaten freely, and even precious monster meat could be tasted.

With the rich spiritual energy in the center of the second-level spiritual vein, this lake island seemed like a paradise on earth for a while.

During the clan sacrifice, several disciples from the Tianhe Sect announced in public the rewards given to the Liu family by the old ancestor of the Jindan stage with the thunder spirit root in the sect.

An attack-type top-grade magic weapon, several Ningling pills, and a thousand spirit stones!

It is said that the Jindan stage real person who practiced thunder magic was very satisfied with the thunder spirit crystal he got and was going to use it to refine his own life magic weapon.

Life magic weapon!

For Jindan cultivators, this is the most important thing. If they can obtain powerful enough natural treasures to refine, their strength will be greatly improved!

After learning this news, Li Qing was calm and still immersed in the study of refining techniques.

In this way, with the end of the lively Liu Family Festival, several months passed in a blink of an eye.

During this period, Li Qing went to the mine four more times. With the spirit stones left over from the previous trade fair, the spirit stones on hand have accumulated to nearly two thousand!

The exact number is one thousand eight hundred and twenty-nine low-grade spirit stones, plus one medium-grade spirit stone!

It has been almost a year since he came to the Liu family. As an early stage of refining, Li Qing has accumulated such a terrifying wealth, which is really amazing!

An annual income of two thousand spirit stones, this terrifying income has already allowed Li Qing to be comparable to some mid-to-late stage cultivators with outstanding skills.

"I'm in the Liu family. I just got out of the spiritual mine and earn 2,000 spiritual stones a year."

Li Qing, whose wallet was much fatter, was in a good mood at this time. He was also relieved from the bad mood of not improving his weapon refining skills for several months.

"This is the last piece of black gold. If the spirituality of this piece of black gold is lost, the Wushuang Hammer may not be useful in the short term."

Li Qing, who returned to the courtyard, took out the last piece of black gold on his body.

That's right. Over the past few months, due to the continuous failure of the inscription, the spirituality of the black gold in the Wushuang Hammer was lost.

Later, he melted another piece of black gold into the Wushuang Hammer, but unfortunately he failed to seize the opportunity in the end, which still led to the complete loss of spirituality and became waste.

Now, Li Qing only has the last piece of black gold in his hand. If he wastes it again, the Wushuang Hammer will really face the scene of early retirement.

Looking at the piece of ink gold in his hand, Li Qing rubbed it with his hands reluctantly, and then resolutely put it into the furnace.

Boom!

While calcining the ink gold, Li Qing prepared a very rich spiritual food for himself.

They were charcoal-grilled spiritual fish and a large pot of spiritual rice. He would come back from the mine every month to have such a rich spiritual food.

For casual cultivators, this is a very luxurious enjoyment. Generally speaking, cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage eat about three or four taels of spiritual rice every day.

And Li Qing has a big appetite. In order to maintain his strong master's physique, he has to eat a whole pound of spiritual rice every day!

Occasionally, he would eat one or two extremely delicious spiritual fish every month. No matter how many times he eats this kind of thing, he never gets tired of it.

Of course, in order to avoid attracting the attention of others, Li Qing has now expanded his channels for buying spiritual rice, including a spiritual farmer named Jiang and the Liu family's own spiritual rice sales place.

During this period, he did not just stay in the yard to refine weapons, but actively went out to make friends with other cultivators and build good relationships with others. Even the casual cultivators in the two areas of A and B, Li Qing knew cultivators.

"Gudong gudong~"

Li Qing poured himself a cup of Biling Brew, which was the spiritual wine he bought at the trade fair last time, and now it is almost empty.

He also drank nearly half of the other jar of Qingshen Brew.

Qingshen Brew is more precious. During this period, every time he comprehended the five elements of the basic spiritual patterns in the weapon refining inheritance, he would drink a small cup to keep himself absolutely focused, and his comprehension would be slightly improved.

"The second trade fair is coming soon, and I have to buy a few more jars of spiritual wine this time."

After saying that, Li Qing drank the Biling Brew in the cup, and then while the effect of the spiritual wine began to take effect, he did not waste time and sat down cross-legged directly, ready to start refining qi and continue to attack the bottleneck of the middle stage of refining qi that had stuck him for nearly half a year.

It will take quite some time to calcine the black gold in the furnace.

Li Qing already has sufficient experience in dealing with black gold.

"I heard that the disciples of Tianhe Sect use the earth fire veins to ignite the spiritual materials when refining pills and tools. This kind of earth fire is much more powerful than ordinary fire in melting spiritual materials, comparable to the Taoist fire of the foundation-building period!"

"There are so many benefits to joining the immortal sect."

Li Qing sighed and immersed himself in cultivation.

At this time, the big bowl of spiritual rice and two spiritual fish he had just eaten brought him abundant spiritual power.

These pure spiritual powers settled in his body, and with the help of the effect of the green spirit wine, Li Qing's efficiency in breathing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was also greatly improved.

With two methods, Li Qing focused on running the "Fire Source Skill", breathing and refining as fast as possible, fearing that he would waste a breath of time.

The benefits of Li Qing's lavish spending of spiritual food are naturally not small. He has reached the peak of the initial stage of Qi Refining, and the bottleneck has been polished quite thin by him!

After a long time, the effect of the Biling Brew gradually ended, and the spiritual rice and spiritual fish just eaten were also fully converted into the mana in Li Qing's Dantian.

Only the last step is left!

Li Qing opened his eyes and woke up from his deep practice.

"Huh!"

"I have spent so many spiritual stones on food for nearly half a year, and it is still worth it at present."

After the voice fell, Li Qing's mouth corners slightly curled up, and he was very satisfied with his current progress in practice.

Before the last trade fair, he broke through to the third level of Qi Refining. He felt that it should not be difficult to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining before the next trade fair.

"Although the aptitude is poor, as long as the spiritual stones are krypton enough, the spiritual rice, spiritual fish and spiritual wine are constantly available every day, the speed of cultivation progress is still gratifying!"

If other casual cultivators knew that Li Qing ate so much every day in the early stage of Qi Refining, they would definitely call it a waste.

Generally speaking, if one breaks through from the early stage of Qi Refining to the middle stage of Qi Refining, and is on the second-level spiritual vein, it only takes a few more years to use time to polish, and then he can naturally break through.

For casual cultivators like them, few people will spend so many spiritual stones on food, just to save a year or two of cultivation time.

After all, spiritual stones are quite precious, it is better to accumulate them and wait until the middle stage of Qi Refining, and then use them on the blade.

Of course, Li Qing does not have so many concerns. He is now quite rich in spiritual stones. If possible, he does not even mind eating those pills that improve mana as pills in the early stage of Qi Refining.

Unfortunately, until now he has not been able to find a suitable channel to buy pills.

After finishing this training, Li Qing felt the spiritual power in his body. It has been almost a year since he came to the Liu family. His body has been nourished by the spiritual energy and is very transparent. His spirit is full and his eyes are bright.

"During this period, spiritual rice and spiritual fish cannot be cut off. Although the green spirit wine has been drunk, you can increase the spiritual rice you eat by one pound every day, and strive to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining as soon as possible!"

After the voice fell, Li Qing looked at the black gold in the furnace that had been calcined for quite a long time.

Let's get started!

This time he was full of confidence and felt that the time was ripe. This time, he would refine the Wushuang Hammer into a magic weapon, and it should not fail!
