Chapter 7 Double Happiness
The Lin family's spiritual plant master inheritance is a mid-level Xuan-level inheritance. It can support spiritual plant masters to cultivate to the second-level upper-level stage. If they want to reach a higher level, they will have to look for a follow-up or other inheritance.

Ever since Lin Changqing suddenly reached the Qi Refining Stage, he went to the Sutra Library and chose the three spells his grandfather had mentioned.

This is also a family benefit. If you want to practice other spells in the future, you will have to spend contribution points.

Now I practice in the morning, study in the afternoon, and practice magic in the evening. It's very regular. However, I have only reached the first level of Qi Refining, and I can't cast many spells before I need to sit in meditation to recover my spiritual energy.

Fortunately, I have a good understanding. After more than a month, I have mastered the art of spiritual rain. After performing the spell, I can make about ten square meters of rain fall.

The golden needle technique takes seven or eight seconds to complete, which can be considered as entry-level.

Only the technique of nourishing essence and promoting childbirth has not been successful in practice.

There was no other way but to ask his grandfather for advice. His grandfather asked him to perform it once and found out the problem. It was mainly because his cultivation was too low and he couldn't sustain the consumption of the secret technique. He asked him to try it at the second level of Qi Refining.

Lin Changqing could only major in the other two spells, so he simply went to the Sutra Library to spend contribution points to learn Fireball and Wind Step, one for attack and the other to increase movement speed.

The only advantage of having five spiritual roots is that you can learn spells of all five elements!
Time passed by like this, and soon the end of the year arrived. Lin Changqing and his classmates had completed the learning of all the basic knowledge and graduated from the family school.

After the New Year, the Third Elder will have new students. I hope the family will be passed down forever.

In the past few months, with the help of the spirit gathering array and Qi gathering pills in Lin Changqing's home practice room, his cultivation finally reached the peak of the first level of Qi Refining, and he planned to reach the second level of Qi Refining after the Chinese New Year.

There is good news. His second uncle Lin Maobin will be back soon. He has been away with the monster hunting team for several months. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be back soon.

Lin Changqing was a little worried, wondering if his second uncle would be hurt. He was also looking forward to his second uncle's gift.

That day, just as Lin Changqing came out of the training room, his mother said that the demon hunting team had returned and was now in the family square, which was where Lin Changqing had his spiritual roots tested.

After hearing this, Lin Changqing ran over. When he arrived at the square, there were many people. Lin Changqing recognized his second uncle from a distance in the crowd and was relieved to see that he was not injured.

The atmosphere at the scene was quite solemn. This time, the monster hunting team went out in six teams with a total of sixty people. Two people died and five were injured. After all, no one wants to have casualties.

No wonder the atmosphere is bad. In fact, it is relatively better this time. There have been cases in the past where an entire team was killed in battle.

The world of cultivating immortals is so cruel, people hunt monsters, peel their skins, draw blood and eat their flesh, and use their tendons, bones and skins to make pills and weapons. In turn, monsters also eat people, and in the eyes of monsters, human cultivators are just a bunch of spiritual pills with overwhelming spiritual energy.

Therefore, unless it is a spiritual beast that has been raised under a contract since childhood, if you see a monster beast, you will kill it in exchange for cultivation resources.

Moreover, when you are out, especially in the wilderness, sometimes encountering people is more terrifying than encountering monsters, which is why Lin Changqing is worried about his second uncle. Fortunately, he returned safely this time.

Standing next to my second uncle, I felt relieved to see that he looked fine except for being a little tired.

When the second uncle saw Lin Changqing coming, he patted his shoulder happily and signaled him to be quiet and listen to the clan leader.

The clan leader, Lin Qinglong, is currently the most powerful person in the Lin family, with the cultivation level of the seventh level of foundation building.

He is 152 years old this year. He is the only surviving member of the Lin Jiaqing generation. He is also the mainstay of the Lin family and usually guards the ancestral mountain.

Unless it is something serious, no one dares to disturb the clan leader's practice, because the clan leader is currently the most likely person in the Lin family to impact the Purple Mansion.

On the stage, the chief finalized the comfort and compensation for the sacrificed tribesmen, commended the injured tribesmen, set various rules, exchange standards, etc., and then let the monster hunters go back to rest.

The second uncle then took Lin Qing home. After arriving home, the second uncle washed up first and felt more energetic. Then the two uncle and nephew sat down.

Seeing that Lin Changqing had reached the Qi Refining Stage, he was very happy. He took out a jade box from his storage bag, handed it to Lin Changqing, and said, "I found this in the market. I thought it was suitable for you, so I bought it. Open it and see if you like it?" Lin Changqing smiled and said, "I like anything my second uncle gives me."

When the jade box was opened, an exquisite jade pendant was revealed.

The second uncle introduced: "This spirit-gathering jade pendant, when worn on the body after offering sacrifices, can increase the spiritual energy gathering effect by 30%, which is equivalent to improving the cultivation environment and is helpful for the Qi Refining Stage.

Moreover, the jade pendant can store a certain amount of spiritual energy when worn on the body, and it will automatically form a protective shield when encountering a sneak attack. However, if this function is used, the jade pendant will shatter, so you must be careful when you go out."

After hearing this, Lin Changqing handed the jade pendant to his second uncle and said, "Second uncle, you often go out to hunt monsters, so you need this jade pendant more than I do."

After hearing this, the second uncle laughed heartily and took out a similar jade pendant from his storage bag.

He laughed and said, "Do you think your uncle is stupid? He bought two. Don't worry! Your uncle won't die so easily."

Only then did Lin Changqing accept the gift with confidence.

The second uncle told Lin Changqing about his experiences over the past few months. His main purpose was to impart valuable experience in hunting monsters and traveling outside to Lin Changqing, so he spoke in great detail.

Lin Changqing also listened with great interest, expressing his opinions from time to time. They talked until it was getting late and only stopped when his father came to call them for dinner.

My second uncle came home safely after hunting monsters, and the family was reunited for a rare occasion. Grandpa was particularly happy.

It was rare for Lin Changqing to be allowed to drink a glass of spiritual wine. After drinking a glass of wine, Lin Changqing's face turned red. He didn't expect that the spiritual wine in the world of cultivation would be so strong and full of spiritual energy.

Soon he could no longer hold on and had to go back to refine his spiritual energy.

Returning to the training room, he circulated the Qi in the wine to refine it and directed it towards the last acupuncture point of the second meridian. After a while, he found that the acupuncture point began to soften. Lin Changqing had an idea: could it be possible today?

Immediately following the experience from last time, he began to gather spiritual energy in his Dantian. When his Dantian was full of spiritual energy, he attacked the acupoints with all his strength.

A loud "boom" sounded in his mind, and the surrounding spiritual energy began to flow towards Lin Changqing. A layer of black and gray dirt was discharged from the surface of his whole body. This time it was better than last time and not so smelly. After all, grandpa's marrow cleansing pill was not taken in vain.

With the experience from last time, he quickly concentrated, calmed himself, and began to consolidate his cultivation. His dantian expanded a lot and could accommodate more spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy finally flows into Dantian, and this cycle repeats several times. The spiritual energy in Dantian gradually becomes full, and the cultivation of the second level of Qi training is finally stabilized.

After packing up, he quickly came out and washed his body. Everyone was waiting for him. The spiritual energy fluctuated violently just now, and everyone in the family felt it, so they were waiting for news.

I went to the hall and announced that I had reached the second level of Qi Refining. Everyone was very happy. Grandpa also happily said that it was a double happiness today and everyone who could drink could have a few more drinks.

He also told Lin Changqing to relax appropriately during the next few days, as alternating between relaxation and tension is the way to long-term success.

Lin Changqing agreed. He already had a plan in mind and had learned the basic knowledge of the school.

Lin Changqing planned to go to the first floor of the Sutra Library every afternoon to read the family's collection of various books on spiritual plants, spiritual beasts, spiritual objects, geographical travel notes, humanities, customs, and personal experiences.

These are for expanding knowledge, and the family does not charge any contribution points. Instead, the family encourages members to visit more often when they have time.

Lin Changqing planned to stay there for a long time and read every book, lest he come across a treasure in the future and not recognize it, which would be ridiculous.

Of course, since there are too many books on the first floor of the Sutra Library, Lin Changqing will focus on reading books about spiritual plants in the early stage. After all, there is a mysterious spiritual seed waiting for him!
