Chapter 8 Hard Work and Practice
After the New Year, he grew one year older and was ten years old. Having lived two lives, Lin Changqing deeply understood the importance of strength. Here, he advocated the law of the jungle, where the strong preyed on the weak.

Especially in the world of cultivating immortals, the power of heaven and earth belongs to oneself, and life and death, honor and disgrace depend on a single thought. Lin Changqing never dared to forget this.

After the lively reunion during the Chinese New Year, Lin Changqing devoted himself to the practice of self-discipline.

Because it is impossible to practice for a long time in the Qi Refining Stage, one's own meridians cannot withstand such high-intensity practice.

So Lin Changqing practiced in the morning, and went to the family's spiritual medicine garden or his own herb garden at noon to study and observe the habits of spiritual medicines and plants. In the afternoon, he went to the Sutra Library to read books, and now he mainly read books about spiritual medicines and plants.

With Lin Changqing's experience, he certainly understood the importance of knowledge, especially since this knowledge was free. It was something that should not be missed.

He often stayed in the Sutra Library for an entire afternoon. The second elder, Lin Fandong, who was in charge of the Sutra Library, knew that the eleventh brother had a grandson who loved reading.

Night is the time for Lin Changqing to practice magic, including the Spirit Rain Spell, the Golden Needle Spell, the Fireball Spell, the Gale Step, and the most important one, the Peiyuan Inducing Childbirth Spell.

The Spirit Rain Technique can now cover an area of ​​two meters in radius.

The Golden Needle Technique can now be completed in five or six breaths. It takes two breaths less than before.
The fireball can be as big as an egg, with a range of about 40 to 50 meters. The range, speed, power, and accuracy of the fireball need to be improved.

The Swift Wind Step significantly increased the movement speed, which was currently about 30% to 40%. Lin Changqing hoped to increase it to more than double.

The most important technique of nourishing essence and accelerating birth, when Lin Changqing's Dantian is full of spiritual energy, the success rate of casting the spell is about 20% to 30%. Each time it can accelerate the growth time of a spiritual plant by about one month.

If the spiritual energy is insufficient, it will be difficult to succeed. From now on, I will focus on practicing this secret technique.

When Lin Changqing is not practicing, he will also go to see his friends. Everyone’s practice progress is good. After all, there are cultivators in their families, so they can get help from their families.

For example, the twelfth sister Lin Changlian has already reached the third level of Qi Refining. The rest are all at the second level of Qi Refining, and they all advanced earlier than Lin Changqing.

Under the leadership of Lin Changqing, the friends would also go to the Sutra Library to read books, but after all, they were still children at heart, so it was okay to do it occasionally, but they could not persist for a long time.

Lin Changqing was also helpless. He knew he couldn't force it.

Time just passed by in Lin Changqing's hard work and fulfillment.

Half a year passed quickly, and today was the day for the monster hunting team to set out. The monster hunting team usually rested for half a year and then set out to hunt monsters for half a year.

Of course, sometimes it will be earlier or later. After completing two monster hunting missions, you can take a break.

This time, his father would also go out to hunt monsters. Lin Changqing was particularly worried. Although his father had reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, which was a bit stronger than his second uncle, no one knew what kind of monsters he would encounter.

Fortunately, my father and my second uncle were in the same team, so they could look after each other.

When we set out, grandpa, aunt, mother and sister all went to see us off, as going out to hunt monsters was a big event for the family.

Basically all the cultivators in the Zushan will go to see them off, hoping that everyone returns safely.

Grandpa gave each of my father and second uncle a Heavenly Thunder Seed. This is a one-time powerful magical weapon, which can be used as a trump card after sacrifice and refining. A direct hit can severely damage a second-level early stage monster.

My aunt gave me two bottles of first-grade medium-quality Qi-recovering pills and rejuvenation pills. Qi-recovering pills can restore spiritual energy during battle, while rejuvenation pills are used for healing. Both are practical pills.

Mother gave each of them three dozen first-grade, mid-quality golden armor talismans and three first-grade, high-quality earth escape talismans.

The Golden Armor Talisman can form a layer of golden armor on the surface of the body. As long as the golden armor is not broken, the person inside will not be harmed.

The Earth Escape Talisman can help one escape underground when in danger. A first-grade, high-quality Earth Escape Talisman can help one mile underground. It is said that a second-grade, low-quality Earth Escape Talisman can help one mile underground.

My mother is a spiritual talisman master, and this earth escape talisman is the core of my mother's talisman master inheritance. Because my mother is a cultivator of the Xu family, a daughter who marries out can only take away the first-level inheritance. So the follow-up can only see if the family has it, or collect other inheritances from outside.

Lin Changqing also forced his spirit-gathering jade pendant on his father, hoping that both of them would return home safely.

My father and second uncle touched Lin Changqing's head, said goodbye to his family, and set off with the main force.

Looking at the team going away, Lin Changqing had never been so eager to have power as he was now. It would allow him to go out and hunt monsters instead of his father or second uncle.

When they got home, Grandpa saw Lin Changqing's worry and consoled him, "Your father and your second uncle have been in the monster hunting team since they were 18 years old. It has been 20 to 30 years now and they are very experienced. Don't worry."

Moreover, cultivation is against the will of heaven, and your father and his companions have no skills in cultivation. Where would they get the resources for cultivation if they don't go out to hunt monsters?

Besides, going out to hunt monsters is both dangerous and an opportunity. Who knows, there might be a chance there. It might fall on your father or second uncle."

"Then what opportunities did grandpa's family monster hunting team encounter in the past?" Lin Changqing asked.

“There are many. For example, the clan leader discovered a precious third-grade, top-grade spiritual plant, the Seven-Colored Pure Heart Lotus, a hundred years ago. This spiritual plant is the main ingredient for refining the Seven-Colored Pure Heart Pill.

This kind of elixir is a magical elixir that can fight against inner demons. It can help cultivators to reach the Purple Mansion Stage. It is also effective for cultivators in the Golden Core Stage.

Through your great grandmother's relationship with the Qingyun Sect, I exchanged it for two foundation-building pills for a cultivator in need."

"Isn't that just one spiritual plant worth at least 80,000 spirit stones?" Lin Changqing said in surprise.

“No, the Foundation Establishment Pill is quite rare outside. It can only be sold for 40,000 to 50,000 spirit stones at the market auction. But in Qingyun Sect, inner disciples only need 10,000 contribution points to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

So if you really want to calculate, that spiritual plant is probably worth around 20,000 spirit stones.

And your fifth grandfather Lin Fankai discovered a second-grade, top-quality, century-old red fruit tree while hunting monsters.

It takes thirty years to bloom, thirty years to bear fruit, thirty years for the fruit to mature, and another ten years for rest and recuperation, so it takes a hundred years to bear fruit.

Fortunately, the Lin family has a spiritual plant master who can greatly shorten the growth cycle of the red fruit tree. But it still takes about 20 years. The red fruit in your hand was picked from this spiritual plant.

Your fifth grandfather's family, except for the red fruits that they kept for their own use, exchanged the rest for the family, each for 1,000 contribution points.

In addition, two generations have continuously participated in the monster hunting team and completed various family tasks. In the past forty years, your fifth grandfather's family has accumulated enough contribution points to exchange for foundation-building pills.

The family does not have any foundation-building pills now, so we have to wait for the auction in two years. Basically, the destination of the next foundation-building pill is very clear. It should be used by your fourteenth uncle, Lin Maoxiang, who tested your spiritual roots for you. "

After hearing this, Lin Changqing's blood boiled. He wished he could find one of these precious spiritual plants himself. He was no longer so opposed to his father and second uncle going out to hunt monsters.

After waiting for a while, Lin Changqing reacted and asked his grandfather, "Did grandpa exchange my red fruit for 1,000 contribution points?"

Grandpa smiled and said, "That's not the case. Grandpa is the only second-level high-quality spiritual plant master in the family. Grandpa helps take care of this red fruit tree. It can produce two red fruits every time it matures. The other one is for your second uncle, so that he can use it when he strives to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining."

Lin Changqing only realized now that no matter which world it is in, there is a skill that is always popular.

He was determined to learn spiritual plant knowledge more seriously and become a first-class lower-grade spiritual plant master as soon as possible. However, Lin Changqing estimated that he would need to reach the third level of Qi Refining to ensure that the Yuan Pei Sheng Sheng Technique would be 100% successful.

After figuring it out, he calmed himself down and devoted himself to cultivation and study again, hoping that his father and second uncle would come back so that he could give them a surprise.
