Chapter 56 Lotus Heart Pill

It’s the New Year. Although we are facing the crisis of beast tide, we still have to celebrate the New Year. The ancestral mountain is full of joy and the children are overjoyed. It is the most carefree time!
The family also prepared rich spiritual food, and the whole family gathered together happily. It was a pity that grandpa was missing, and no one knew when he would come back!

It hasn't woken up since the first day of the new year. Lin Changqing goes to check on it every day. However, its body has grown a little bigger. It took two red fruits at one time, and the medicinal power might be too strong. It is still sleeping to digest the food!
The three Earth Heart Lotuses have matured. Lin Changqing went to the family's Lingdan Pavilion in person and asked Sixth Grandpa to personally refine the Lotus Heart Pill. He agreed that Sixth Grandpa would provide the auxiliary medicines, and together with the refining fee, he would be allocated 20% of the pills.

Lin Changqing knew that Sixth Grandpa was taking care of him. Other alchemists would take 30% of the pills, but Sixth Grandpa worked hard to refine the pills and also provided auxiliary medicines, so he only took 20%, which was actually very little. Lin Changqing could only keep it in mind.

With two lotus pods and twenty-four earth-core lotus seeds, Sixth Grandpa worked day and night to refine twenty-four furnaces of Lotus Heart Pills. The success rate was about 50%, which was equivalent to twelve successful furnaces, with about five pills in each furnace. In the end, a total of sixty-two Lotus Heart Pills were obtained.

The Sixth Elder provided auxiliary medicines and worked hard on the refining process, and finally took away twelve Lotus Heart Pills.

Lin Changqing finally got fifty Lotus Heart Pills, and kept fourteen of them. He exchanged the remaining thirty-six for his family at 120 contribution points each, hoping that more members of the clan could survive this beast tide.

The remaining twelve spiritual seeds in the lotus pod, plus the three spiritual seeds of the water purifying lotus, were all planted. The small spiritual pond in the space has now expanded to about three acres. This is the result of Lin Changqing's hard work for several days.

Another thing is that Lin Changling had officially advanced to the third level of Qi Refining before the New Year. She herself had dual spiritual roots, and she also held a large piece of medium-grade fire spirit stone every time she practiced. If she was not fast, there would be a problem.

Early in the morning of that day, Lin Changqing was about to start practicing when he suddenly felt something approaching him very quickly. He quickly prepared to use a defensive weapon, but when he looked closely, he found that it was Chuyi. He had been sleeping for ten whole days and was finally awake.

He had just woken up from a deep sleep and immediately came to Lin Changqing to share his joy. Now he was standing on the windowsill. Fortunately, he did not pounce on him directly, otherwise he might have knocked Lin Changqing to the ground.

It must have stopped its actions in time because it saw Lin Changqing preparing to practice. Lin Changqing stepped forward and picked it up.

It felt heavy in my hand, much heavier than before. I smoothed Chuyi's feathers and checked his progress.

It looked obviously much taller and stronger than before. Its claws were still golden, vigorous and powerful, but some parts of its body were dark green, while the rest had turned golden yellow.

The dark blue part is getting smaller and smaller. Will it turn into gold when it advances in the future? Is this considered a mutation? You know, Garuda has two attributes: gold and wind!

The transparent gold color on the pupils is richer than before, making him look unusually handsome and a little fierce.

I spread out its wings and took a look. It was estimated to be about 160 cm long and about 100 cm tall. Its overall size had grown a lot.

It has reached the standards recorded in the data and should be considered a fully adult golden-winged bird. The most important thing is that Chuyi is now a genuine late-stage first-level spiritual beast.

After feeding Chuyi a soul-nourishing pill, I let him adapt to his body size first. Chuyi was very experienced.

Now Chuyi has woken up, and everything is ready. We are just waiting for news from grandpa.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Grandpa hadn't come back yet, and there was no news, but on this day, Lin Changqing's fourth thunder acupoint was finally opened successfully, and he chose the Golden Thunder Sword as the talisman, so that his thunder magic power would be more abundant.

Under Lin Changqing's guidance, Babai successfully mastered the Thunder Horn. The process was very smooth. After all, it was the spirit of the horn, and everything was so natural and smooth.

With the help of Eight Hundred, it became much easier for Lin Changqing to control the Thunder Horn. He only needed to input the five elements spiritual energy or thunder spiritual energy. With the help of Eight Hundred, he could quickly generate the Gengjin Divine Thunder. The power depended on the amount of spiritual energy input.

A few days later, as everyone in the Lin family was waiting, the Great Elder and Grandpa finally returned, bringing with them the news of the confirmed beast tide and the Qingyun Sect's conscription order.

Recruit two Foundation Establishment cultivators and one hundred Qi Refining cultivators in the middle stage or above from the Lin family, and make it special note that if the Lin family has one more Foundation Establishment cultivator, the number of Qi Refining cultivators recruited can be reduced by 20.

Once you receive the call-up, you must report to Qingyun City at the foot of Qingyun Sect Mountain within the specified time.

After the family meeting, my grandfather returned home immediately, told everyone what had happened, and asked my father and second uncle to prepare to leave.

Then he called Lin Changqing into the secret room.

As soon as the grandfather and grandson sat down, the grandfather spoke first: "Qing'er, this time is too dangerous, you should not go."

"Grandpa, for the safety of father and second uncle, I must go. Please don't say anything else." Lin Changqing said firmly.

Then he patted his storage bag and took out the ten prepared offensive and defensive magic weapons, elixirs, eighteen disposable high-power magic weapons, and the Twelve Lotus Heart Pills that he had specially left behind. "Grandpa, this is what I prepared. Wait a minute, take it out and share it with my parents, my second uncle, and my aunt. Remember to give two Lotus Heart Pills to my sister as well!"

Grandpa's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "Did you spend all the spirit stones I gave you?"

Lin Changqing said with a smile: "I have spent all of it. There are only a few spirit stones left in the storage bag. Please give me another 10,000 spirit stones later!"

Grandpa had no choice but to give 10,000 spirit stones to Lin Changqing, and then put away the things Lin Changqing took out.

He then said, "Since you are determined to go, I have also prepared a set of magic weapons for you." As he spoke, he took out two magic weapons, one for attack and one for defense, both of which were first-grade, top-grade gold-attribute magic weapons.

Lin Changqing quickly thanked his grandfather, then took it and put it away.

After thinking for a while, Grandpa said, "Give me some red fruits, and I'll see if I can handle it more flexibly."

Lin Changqing shook his head: "Grandpa, don't take risks at this time. Safety is the most important thing."

Grandpa said with a firm face: "Don't worry, I know what I am doing, nothing will happen!"

Lin Changqing had no choice but to give his grandfather two more jade boxes, each containing a total of 48 red fruits.

"How are you going to tell your family that you want to apply for the job?" Grandpa asked with a frown.

Lin Changqing thought for a moment and said, "Let's just say it directly. I have to go anyway! I can't hide this."

Grandpa said helplessly: "Okay, be careful and come back alive!"

Lin Changqing said confidently: "I can definitely bring my father and second uncle back alive, so don't worry!"

Then the two of them returned to the living room and called everyone together. Grandpa gave the four attack and defense magic weapons with earth and wood attributes to his father Lin Maosheng.

Four attacking and defensive magic weapons with gold and fire attributes were given to my second uncle Lin Maobin.

Two water-attributed attack and defense magic weapons were given to mother Xu Wenying.

There were eighteen Heavenly Thunder Seeds and Yin Thunder Beads. My father and second uncle each took six, and my mother and aunt each got three.

The pills were mainly distributed to my father and second uncle. My mother and aunt were stationed in the ancestral mountain, which was safer and did not require so many pills. However, each person received two Lotus Heart Pills, including my grandfather and sister.

My sister is still young and is the focus of the family's training. The patriarch will not allow her to fight.

Moreover, if the ancestral mountain is lost, my sister will definitely be the first to be evacuated. She is much safer than Lin Changqing, so there is no need to worry about her. Giving her the Lotus Heart Pill is just in case.

After the items were distributed, everyone was asked to make the best use of their time to practice the rituals, and it was announced that Lin Changqing would also participate in this recruitment.

As expected, everyone in the family, including my parents, my second uncle, my aunt, and my younger sister, was against it.

But Lin Changqing had made up his mind and was resolute in his attitude, and he showed that he had the means and ability to ensure that he would come back alive.

The family had no choice but to agree reluctantly. Mother and aunt were particularly worried about Lin Changqing's safety, and wanted to give the Tianlei Seeds and Yinlei Pearls they were given to Lin Changqing, until grandfather stepped forward to stop them.

This time, the Qingyun Sect will recruit the clan leader, grandfather, and fourteenth uncle, three foundation-building cultivators, to lead the eighty members of the family in the Qi-refining stage. They will gather at the family square tomorrow and set off.

"Since time is tight, everyone should quickly refine the magic weapons, and then take the time to familiarize yourself with them. You three must be careful this time, and try to act together when facing the beast tide, and don't get separated." Grandpa gave another instruction with concern.

The three of them quickly agreed, and their father and second uncle promised to take good care of Lin Changqing.

Since it is confirmed that we will set off tomorrow, we should return the jade slips of Shuowen Jiezi to Second Grandpa while there is still time. I took action immediately after thinking of it. After saying goodbye to my family, I flew directly to the Sutra Library.
