Chapter 21 Father's Advancement
After listening to what grandpa said that day, my parents, my second uncle and my aunt have become more active in practicing, and my mother is now busy practicing.

Sometimes Lin Changqing has to help look after his sister. Fortunately, his sister Lin Ling is also very well-behaved. Unlike Lin Changqing, she has already run around the mountain at this age. There is also Chuyi in the sky to help watch over her. As long as she doesn't run too far, she will be fine.

Although Lin Changqing can't take care of children, he can tell stories! He adapted the story of Journey to the West and told it to his sister, who was fascinated as soon as she heard it.

From then on, whenever she saw Lin Changqing was free, my sister would squeeze in beside him. She wanted to listen to his stories. She often asked what happened to the monkey. She especially liked to stick to Lin Changqing.

The first one to advance in the family was my father. After all, he had the Vermillion Fruit in his hand and broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining. Now his cultivation level was second only to my aunt.

In the past, they were reluctant to spend their contribution points and used mid-grade Qi-Gathering Pills for cultivation. Now, they use high-grade Qi-Gathering Pills for cultivation. The pills have less poison and stronger spiritual energy. The cultivation speed is faster, which means that the contribution points are consumed faster.

I remembered that I wanted to give Zhuguo to the fifth and sixth days of the Lunar New Year, so I discussed it with my grandfather.

Grandpa thought for a while and said: Give Chuliu one pill first. Your second uncle will join the monster hunting team again this year.

Grandpa no longer had any red fruits in his hand. Lin Changqing still had three in his hand. He gave one to Grandpa, who gave it to Second Uncle to feed to Chuliu.

After finishing this matter, there are only two red fruits left. But it doesn’t matter, we can harvest another batch of red fruits in two months.

Moreover, Lin Changqing's Yuan Pei Yuan Inducing Technique has been able to induce labor for a month and a half. After breaking through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, the Yuan Pei Yuan Inducing Technique has improved rapidly. It is estimated that in two or three months, he will be able to reach the level of an advanced mid-grade spiritual plant master.

In the future, the effect of promoting the spiritual plants in the space will be more obvious. For example, the red fruit used to take six months and twenty days to mature, but now it only takes four or five months.

Since he was able to fly with a sword, Lin Changqing had been flying to Aoyun Peak to take care of the spiritual farm. His second uncle would go hunting monsters again in a few months, so Lin Changqing wanted his second uncle to improve his cultivation before he set off.

I took the initiative to find my second uncle and told him that I could fly. There was no need to trouble my second uncle. I asked him to practice hard and strive to advance to the eighth level of Qi Refining before departure.

Another thing is that my grandfather gave me three spirit seeds, one of which was the Void Sky Willow, and the other two were the Bloodthirsty Thorn Vine and the Spirit Gathering Tree.

There is no use planting the bloodthirsty thorn vine in the space. And Lin Changqing wants to keep it, just in case Lin Ling has spiritual roots in the future, and the spiritual roots are not good, then the bloodthirsty thorn vine's spiritual seeds will be needed.

Now the spirit seeds of the Spirit Gathering Tree have been planted in the space by Lin Changqing. It is hoped that the Spirit Gathering Tree can help increase the spiritual energy of the space.

In fact, Lin Changqing really wanted a spiritual eye object to see if the space would slowly expand by itself with the spiritual eye object.

Speaking of spiritual eyes, we have to mention the spiritual veins and spiritual eyes in the world of immortal cultivation!
The distribution of spiritual energy between heaven and earth is not balanced. There are definitely places where it is denser and places where it is shallower. Over time, spiritual veins of varying sizes will form in places where the spiritual energy is dense.

Some of the large spiritual veins stretch for tens of thousands of miles and are as high as level five or six. These are basically occupied by top sects or holy places.

A small spiritual vein may be only a few miles in size and is just entering the grade. It is usually occupied by a few independent cultivators or a small Qi-refining family.

For example, the Lin family’s Jiufeng Mountain is a lower-grade third-grade mountain covering an area of ​​dozens of miles.

No matter how big or small these spiritual veins are, once they are formed, they will automatically emit spiritual energy, allowing the local spiritual energy to circulate continuously. If they are not destroyed, they will not be easily exhausted. If they are cultivated well, they can even be advanced.

However, the spiritual energy produced in different places of these spiritual veins is not the same. Those places with the densest spiritual energy are of course the most suitable for cultivators to practice, so they are called "spiritual eyes" by the cultivation world.

Lin Changqing knew that the spiritual eye of Jiufeng Mountain was near the top of the main peak. Six retreat rooms were built, and if the tribe members wanted to break through the foundation-building period, they could apply for a breakthrough here. This would achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The so-called "spiritual eyes" are generally invisible and colorless, and one can only feel their existence and size through the cultivator's senses.

Any place called the Spirit Eye means that it is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the nearby spiritual veins. This is beyond doubt!
Under normal circumstances, the spirit eye is invisible, but if the spiritual energy of the spirit eye is too abundant and dense, then the quantitative change will lead to a qualitative change, and it will slowly materialize and form a spirit eye.

Like the Spirit Eye Tree, the Spirit Eye Stone, the Spirit Eye Spring, etc. The physical appearance of these Spirit Eyes is a very rare thing. All of them are spiritual objects of heaven and earth that can only be formed after a process of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.

Therefore, the spiritual energy emitted by these spiritual eyes is much stronger than that of ordinary spiritual eyes. Meditating and practicing near them will definitely have the miraculous effect of speeding up the speed of cultivation.

The most common spiritual eye items can help practitioners speed up their practice by nearly 20% to 30%.

Moreover, once these spiritual objects are formed, such as the Spirit Eye Tree and the Spirit Eye Spring, they can be moved away by people using magic power without losing their effectiveness. It is equivalent to a moving spiritual vein.

Therefore, it is extremely precious. If it were to be auctioned, the starting price would probably be at least over a million spirit stones.

Lin Changqing knew that the Lin family had no way of owning this kind of spiritual object. If they did, if the news leaked out, the Lin family might be destroyed.

So now I can only keep this idea in my heart and wait until the day when I have the ability to realize it.

After all, I still don't have enough strength, so I should practice first! Cultivation is your own.

Lin Changqing then resumed his regular practice and life.

Time flies. Ten months have passed in a blink of an eye. Some things have happened during this period.

The first thing was that through hard training, Second Uncle finally reached the eighth level of Qi Refining before setting out to hunt monsters. He was considered to have a relatively high level of cultivation among his peers in the monster hunting team. Chuliu also officially advanced to the first-level lower-grade spirit beast. His body size was now more than twice that of Chuwu. This made Lin Changqing feel more at ease.

The second thing was that Lin Changqing officially advanced to the first-class middle-grade spiritual plant master. His essence-cultivating and stimulating skills had officially reached the level of stimulating the growth of spiritual medicines and plants for two months each time he cast the spell. His knowledge of spiritual medicines and plants had also passed the assessment. He was officially recognized by the family. His identity jade card had also been replaced.

The third thing is that the hundred-year-old red fruits in the space matured twice, and a total of 48 red fruits were harvested. After discussing with my grandfather, we decided to go to a more distant state capital to take action.

Considering the safety issue, Grandpa would not sell too many red fruits in one place. He chose three prefectures. First he would go to Qiyun Prefecture, then to Danyang Prefecture, and finally to Jinzhou Prefecture.

Jinzhou Prefecture is the place that Grandpa chose for Aunt to build her foundation. He will spend more time investigating it and also choose a place that can support the foundation and rent a cave.

Because the place to go is far away, and I have to change routes many times. This time I promised to come back before the end of the year, because I have to participate in the auction held by Wanbao Pavilion in this prefecture.

It has been more than three months since my grandfather left, and I don’t know how he is doing now.

Because Grandpa is still using the first-level magic boat. This time, Lin Changqing asked Grandpa to switch to the second-level speed-oriented boat when he arrived at the destination.

It would be more convenient and safer to use it for traveling or escaping. I wonder if grandpa listened to me.

The fourth thing is that the Pingyang Prefecture auction is about to begin. This is a grand event held once every ten years in Pingyang Prefecture.

There will not only be an auction, but also monks who don't go out much will come to participate. So there will be many monks setting up stalls, and everyone will sell their unused things in exchange for cultivation resources, or barter.

This is the time to test your knowledge and eyesight. Every time there are people who get lucky, while others are deceived.

My mother and aunt have agreed that we will go to the auction and visit the street stalls with the main group, and even my friends want to join us to watch the fun.

This was also a major event for the family. After all, it would take several years to save enough spirit stones to buy a foundation-building pill. The ancestral mountain was already clearly feeling the commotion.
