Chapter 157 Winter Solstice Rice Ripening, Treasure Tree Advancement (First Update)

Summer ends and autumn arrives, and autumn turns to winter. In the blink of an eye, the winter solstice has arrived.

Early in the morning, Li Qing ordered the spiritual chef of the clan to knead the spiritual wheat flour into dough, then roll it into dough, wrap it with various spiritual vegetables and spiritual beast meat, and make it into ears-shaped pastries, and cook it for the children to eat.

"This is called dumplings. It is a must-eat snack in a certain mortal world during the winter solstice." Li Qing scooped a bowl for himself, picked it up with chopsticks, and ate it slowly.

"Hmm! Delicious!" Li Hu bit into a dumpling happily, and the red carp pork filling with moderate fat and lean meat burst out with fresh and fragrant juice, which made him unable to help but slurp again and again.

Li Ling'er and Li Yue'er came to Li Qing's cave for the first time. They were a little reserved, but with food as a bridge, they quickly became familiar with the spirit insects such as Asun.

"Tomorrow, the three of you will start to draw qi into the body, right?" After eating dumplings, Li Qing was concerned about their progress in cultivation.

Qi training is the first stage of cultivation. After learning the basic knowledge and nurturing the three treasures of spirit, energy and spirit, the Li family finally reached the stage of formal practice.

Li Hu nodded: "Yes, tomorrow! Intake the energy and practice."

Half a year later, with the teaching of telepathy, he can actually communicate in long sentences. But the habit of speaking one word at a time cannot be corrected for a while.

Li Ling'er was a little worried: "Great uncle, my sister and I are not very talented in spiritual roots. Will it be a drag?"

Li Yue'er also looked worried. Children's troubles are not hidden at all.

Li Qing nodded first, then shook his head: "Although spiritual root aptitude is important, understanding and diligence will also affect the efficiency of practice."

"In addition, of course, it is inseparable from the assistance of practice resources. I have asked your aunt Li Wei to prepare a practice gift package, go and get it yourself!"

Li Ling'er and her sister were overjoyed: "Thank you great uncle! Great uncle is the best!"

Li Qing listened to the title of "great uncle", shook his head helplessly, and gestured to them: "Go find your aunt."

The sisters went out happily, completely forgetting that there was a little friend who stayed here.

Li Qing took out a jade slip from his sleeve: "Little Huzi, this is the practice method I deduced based on the "Qingfeng Jue", supplemented by the understanding of practicing Huifeng, running the foundation of Taoism."

"Let's call it "Huifeng Jue". You will use this method tomorrow to draw Qi into your body and enter the first level of Qi training."

Li Hu carefully put it away and nodded heavily: "I will, try hard!"

Li Qing smiled and rubbed his little head: "You have top spiritual roots, and the speed of practice is not a problem. But don't just focus on practice, the immortal road is long, and there are still many things worth experiencing and savoring."

Li Hu nodded, not quite understanding, and went out of the cave to play with his friends.

At dusk, Li Qing brought Asun and Chaoyin, as well as a group of elf insects, to the family spiritual field.

Because the spiritual field veins had to be combed this winter, no overwintering spiritual plants were planted, and the spiritual field was barren at this time.

There was only a spiritual rice field, which was rolling up layers of rice waves in the north wind, like the sound of pine waves and bamboo, stretching endlessly.

Li Qing flew to the air and looked down at the spiritual field below. He saw the rainbow cliff rice and green pearl rice in the shape of yin and yang fish, on both sides.

On one side, the leaves and grains were all golden, with dazzling rainbow light; on the other side, the golden leaves and green valleys were filled with light water vapor.

The serpentine arc of the dividing line was a mottled red and black interweaving, which was the location of the water and fire spiritual rice.

Today is the winter solstice, the yin is at its extreme and the yang is born, and it is the day to harvest the water and fire spiritual rice.

Li Qing fell from the air and came to the core of the yin and yang formation suppressed by the three treasures.

Since the water and fire spiritual rice was sown at the summer solstice, this life spirit has been rooted here.

Sensing the arrival of the owner, the coral treasure tree actually swayed slightly, as if it had a spirit, and spontaneously responded to Li Qing's Qingmu Zhenyuan and Linghuo Ganlin.

Only half a year later, under the influence of the Yin and Yang formation diagram and the water and fire spiritual rice, it actually quietly stepped into the threshold of a mid-grade spiritual weapon.

"It's a good thing that has grown into a forest!" Li Qing was very happy. The Qingmu Zhenyuan and Ganlin Spirit Fire gushed out, and took the opportunity to cleanse the Three Treasures Wonderful Tree.

During the communication between the two, the three elements of water, wood and fire swirled and intertwined, and then followed the Yin-Yang formation diagram to connect with the water and fire spirit rice.

At this time, the leaves of the water and fire spirit rice had withered, and only the ears of grains were hanging heavily. The grains were red with dark spots, which corresponded to the mutual assistance of water and fire.

Being in the formation, it was obvious that the spiritual energy from the Hongya rice and the Qingzhu rice met here, nourishing the water and fire spirit rice continuously.

And the water and fire spirit rice radiated some strange fluctuations outward, subtly changing the quality of the two first-level spirit rice.

Li Qing picked a grain of water and fire spirit rice casually, broke the husk, and the pure rice fragrance escaped.

He put the spiritual rice into his mouth and chewed it. Suddenly, a pure water and fire elemental force flowed down his throat with the jade liquid and spread in his stomach.

This water and fire elemental force complemented each other, with some kind of wonderful meaning, permeating Li Qing's limbs and bones, and then flowing into the dantian, merging into the spiritual platform, and finally disappeared.

Li Qing was stunned, and then relieved: "It's just a grain of rice. If it can produce immediate results, wouldn't it become an elixir?"

"Guka!" Chaoyin flapped its butterfly wings and danced around him, as if curious about the taste of the water and fire spiritual rice.

Li Qing pinched another grain and fed it into its mouth: "How is it?"

Chaoyin closed his eyes, savoring the charm of the interweaving of water and fire, and seemed to enjoy it very much: "Guka!"

The other little guys were not spiritual rice elves, and they didn't have much interest in this, but seeing that it was eating with relish, they also called out and asked to taste it.

Li Qing was not stingy and fed them one each, but unfortunately most of them had mediocre reactions.

Only Ah Sun's body was filled with Qingmu Zhenyuan, and he grasped the essence of the water and fire refining: "Yaa!" (Great!)

Li Qing waited until they had tasted the flavor before letting Chaoyin display his innate ability: "It's time for a good harvest."

Chaoyin nodded, opened her mouth and spit out Cordyceps, planted it next to the Three Treasures Wonderful Tree, and then used it as a medium to attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

It flapped its four butterfly wings, slowly sprinkled sweet rain along the arc of the water and fire spirit rice, and at the same time, the green beads on its forehead shone.

Suddenly, a strange wave, under Chaoyin's control, stroked the water and fire spirit rice inch by inch.

The miracle that happened in the elf world was reproduced again!

The water and fire spirit rice, which had already withered its leaves and was only waiting to be harvested, actually grew leaves, ears, flowers, and filled with grain again.

In just one hour, the yield of the original ear of grain increased by nearly 60%!

"Guka!" Chaoyin shouted happily, and the strange wave rolled up the three-color light of black, blue and red, and retracted the blue bead on the forehead.

"Ah Qing, you have worked hard!" Li Qing raised his finger and let Chaoyin rest on it.
