Chapter 117 Unsuccessful Space
After measuring the newly added area of the space, Lin Changqing patrolled around the space again. Not finding any problems, he exited the space.
I found that I still had plenty of energy and didn't want to rest, so I just practiced the Thunder Sutra! It was inconvenient in the secret realm, and I didn't practice on the way back and forth, so I haven't practiced for almost ten days.
Now I have just enough time to practice, and circulate the true scriptures to generate thunder energy to stimulate the acupuncture points. The familiar feelings of soreness, numbness, swelling, and pain come back. My muscles begin to twitch, and sweat drips to the ground and gathers into a pool.
Lin Changqing was enduring and persisting with great willpower. After two hours, he finally used up all his energy.
This time he had no choice but to rest. The next morning, Lin Changqing completed his routine practice. Because his main task now was to help his father and second uncle protect the Dharma, Lin Changqing had not yet started to practice new skills.
Although he had fully understood and comprehended the Qi Refining stage portion of the new technique, he would not begin to practice it until he had settled down back in Jiufeng Mountain.
Fortunately, both techniques belong to the chaotic attribute, so there is no need to disperse the power and start over. This is very important and is one of the reasons why Lin Changqing made up his mind to change his practice.
I just don’t know how low my Qi Refining level will drop to after I switch to practicing the Five Elements Chaos Sutra, as my current cultivation level is at the peak of the seventh level!
After leaving the hall, I found that I was alone. My grandfather must still be practicing. The time required to complete basic training in the foundation-building stage must be more than that in the Qi-refining stage.
So Lin Changqing could only wait in the hall. Actually, there was nothing to do, he just stayed here to prevent any emergencies.
Lin Changqing brewed a pot of jade tea, then took out the jade slips of the Five Elements Chaos Sutra and studied it carefully. With the help of Yuquan Heart Tea yesterday, he had already understood the first one or two levels of the foundation-building period.
While I have time now, I will continue studying and write down those things that I don’t understand, don’t know, and have doubts about. When I have the chance, I will ask the elders at home for advice, or use Yuquan Heart Tea to focus on these issues.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but when Lin Changqing put down the jade slip of martial arts and prepared to take a rest, his grandfather was already sitting next to him drinking tea.
It just so happened that after Lin Changqing greeted him, he asked his grandfather for advice one by one about the problems he encountered while studying the exercises.
The grandfather and grandson began to communicate in this way, one teaching attentively, the other learning humbly and seriously, which allowed Lin Changqing to gain a lot.
Although not all the problems have been solved, about eight out of ten have been solved. For the rest, I will find an opportunity to ask Senior Chen or Great-Grandmother for help later, or use the Jade Spring Heart Tea to figure it out on my own. Anyway, I will be able to solve it eventually.
After asking the questions, the grandfather and grandson chatted for a while. Lin Changqing remembered that he hadn't been out to pick up bargains for a long time and suddenly wanted to go for a walk.
After saying goodbye to his grandfather, Lin Changqing prepared to stroll around the street stalls in the market town. It had been more than a month since the last time he went there, and most of the applicants had already left Qingyun City.
But Lin Changqing still wanted to go for a walk to see if there was anything else he could gain, or at least go to the gambling stone shop to see if there was any new merchandise.
After leaving the cave, the number of cultivators encountered on the road was obviously much less than before. I noticed it when I came back yesterday, but I didn’t pay much attention to it. I came to the street stall square with familiarity.
To be honest, I am still a little disappointed. The scale of the stalls has been greatly reduced and there are very few people visiting the stalls. But since I am here anyway, I have to go and have a look.
I just walked around for a while and made a discovery. On a stall, I saw seven or eight plants of the magic-attracting grass. However, they were all one to two years old, so they could be said to be seedlings.
It should have just been found in the Qingyun Mountains. It is so young, no wonder it can survive in the mouths of so many monsters. After negotiating with the stall owner, I bought it for forty spirit stones, which is equivalent to five spirit stones per plant.
When the time comes, plant them together with the ones in the space, hoping that they will reproduce more. Lin Changqing now has a lot of spirit beasts in his hands, and these monster-luring herbs will definitely be used frequently in the future, so he bought them all when he saw them.
Continuing to stroll around, he saw a stall selling talisman supplies and stopped to take a look. He asked the stall owner to select ten dozen high-quality talisman papers. Lin Changqing checked them again himself and paid the spirit stones only after finding no problems.
Lin Changqing already had the lapis lazuli and Danyang cinnabar on the stall in his storage bag, so he didn't need to buy more.
Even after visiting all the stalls, there was still nothing to gain. No halo items were found, and there were very few spiritual medicines and plants. Most of them were already in Lin Changqing's space.
He shook his head in disappointment, then walked towards the gambling stone shop. As soon as he got inside, the shop assistant came to greet him. Lin Changqing waved his hand, indicating that he could just take a look around. The assistant bowed slightly and left.
There were very few customers choosing raw stones in the store today. Lin Changqing carefully observed the raw stones in the store, but there was not a single raw stone that emitted a halo. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
With an idea in mind, he randomly picked two raw stones the size of a human head, found the boss to pay, and charged Lin Changqing a total of 420 spirit stones.
By the way, I asked when new goods would arrive. This was Lin Changqing's real purpose. The answer I got was that it would take about three months. There was nothing I could do about it. I didn't know if they would still be in Qingyun City in three months!
He returned to the cave he rented, said hello to his grandfather, and then went back to his room. He carefully checked it with his spiritual sense, and only entered the space after confirming that there was no problem.
As soon as he came in, Lu Youqiang's family surrounded him. However, he had just fed them the Soul-Bearing Pill yesterday, so today he just played with them for a while, and then went to plant the eight newly bought Demon-Bearing Grass together with the three he had bought before.
The three old plants look like they are almost a hundred years old. It seems that Lu Youqiang and his family take good care of them.
I went to see the alfalfa planted at the edge and found that the whole field was very lush. There was too much of it and it was impossible to induce labor for all of it, so I could only let most of it grow naturally.
And you can see traces of gnawing on it, it seems that Lu Youqiang and his family have already eaten it.
In this way, Lin Changqing felt relieved. He just needed to tell Lu Youqiang to control the range and not let the animals spread.
Then he released the Amethyst Scorpion and Chuyi, and fed them some monster meat. He also gave each Amethyst Scorpion an extra spirit stone for them to chew on.
It seemed that Chuyi was entering the space for the first time and was quite curious. Unfortunately, the height of the space was only a few hundred meters. Chuyi almost hit the barrier and could only land on the Earth Soul Fruit Tree.
This scared Lin Changqing, because there were twelve Earth Soul Fruits that were about to mature on it. They were to be used by Lin Changliu to restore his spiritual consciousness. He had to be sure not to drop them, as it would take several years to harvest them once.
I quickly went over and picked it up. It was quite heavy. Fortunately, it was not a problem for Lin Changqing to pick it up.
Chuyi acted cute and gently nudged Lin Changqing with his head, chuckled and smoothed its feathers, fed it a soul-nourishing pill, and then told it that the fruit tree it was standing on was very important and it should remember to protect it in the future.
Chuyi turned around to look at the Earth Soul Fruit Tree and called out, probably to indicate that he remembered it.
