Chapter 118: Fruitless and Space

After measuring the newly added area of the space, Lin Zhangqing patrolled the space again and didn't find any problems, so he exited the space.

Finding that his energy was still very abundant and he didn't want to rest, he simply cultivated the Thunder True Scripture! It was inconvenient in the secret realm, and plus he didn't cultivate on the way back, so he hadn't practiced for about ten days.

Now that he had time, he hurriedly cultivated. Running the true scripture to produce thunder spiritual energy to stimulate the acupoints, the familiar feelings of soreness, numbness, swelling, and pain all returned. His muscles began to twitch, and sweat dripped onto the ground, gathering into a puddle.

Lin Zhangqing was enduring with great perseverance, trying hard to persist. Just like this, after a hard time of two hours, he finally squandered all his energy.

This time he couldn't rest even if he wanted to. The next morning, Lin Zhangqing completed his routine cultivation. Because he mainly had to guard his father and second uncle, Lin Zhangqing hadn't started switching to the new cultivation technique yet.

Although the Qi Refining part of the new cultivation technique had been fully understood and comprehended, he would only start switching after returning to Nine Peaks Mountain and settling down.

Fortunately, both cultivation techniques belonged to the chaos attribute, so there was no need to disperse his cultivation and start over. This was very important and was one of the reasons why Lin Zhangqing made up his mind to switch.

It's just that he didn't know what layer of Qi Refining he would drop to after switching to the Five Elements Chaos Scripture with his current cultivation level at the peak of the seventh layer of Qi Refining!

Coming out of the hall, he found that he was alone. Grandfather should still be cultivating. The time required to complete basic cultivation in the Foundation Establishment stage must be more than in the Qi Refining stage.

So Lin Zhangqing could only wait in the hall. In fact, there was nothing to do, just guarding here to prevent sudden situations.

Lin Zhangqing brewed a pot of Qingyu tea and took out the cultivation technique jade slip of the Five Elements Chaos Scripture to study carefully. Yesterday, with the help of the Jade Spring Heart Tea, he had already understood the first and second layers of the Foundation Establishment part of the cultivation technique.

Taking advantage of the time now, he continued to study, recording all those he didn't understand, didn't know, or had doubts about, which was convenient for asking elders for advice later, or using Jade Spring Heart Tea to focus on comprehending these problems.

I don't know how long it had been. When Lin Zhangqing put down the cultivation technique jade slip and prepared to rest, Grandfather was already sitting beside him drinking tea.

Just right. After Lin Zhangqing greeted him, he took out the problems he encountered while studying the cultivation technique one by one to ask Grandfather for advice.

The grandfather and grandson communicated like this. One taught earnestly, and the other learned humbly and seriously, which made Lin Zhangqing gain a lot.

Although not all problems were solved, eight or nine out of ten were solved. The rest would be asked to Senior Chen or Great-Grandmother when there was a chance, or he would comprehend them by himself using Jade Spring Heart Tea. Anyway, they could always be solved.

After asking the questions, the grandfather and grandson chatted for a while. Lin Zhangqing remembered that he hadn't gone to pick up leaks for a long time and suddenly wanted to go for a walk.

He said to Grandfather that he was going to the market stall square to stroll around. It had been more than a month since the last time, and most of the responding cultivators had left Qingyun City.

But Lin Zhangqing still wanted to go for a stroll to see if there were any gains, at least go to the gambling stone workshop to see if there were any new goods.

After leaving the cave abode, the number of cultivators encountered on the road was significantly less than before. He discovered it when he returned yesterday, but didn't pay much attention to it. He came to the stall square familiarly.

To be honest, he was still a bit disappointed. The scale of the stalls had been greatly reduced, and there were very few people shopping at the stalls. But anyway, since he was here, he had to go for a stroll.

Just after strolling for a while, he made a discovery. At a stall, he saw seven or eight Demon-Alluring Grasses, but they were only one or two years old, which could be considered seedlings.

They should have just been found from the Qingyun Mountain Range. With such a low age, it's no wonder they could survive in the mouths of so many demon beasts. After negotiating with the stall owner, he bought them for forty spirit stones, equivalent to five spirit stones each.

Later, he would plant them together with the few in the space, hoping they would breed more. Lin Zhangqing now had quite a few spirit beasts in his hands, and these Demon-Alluring Grasses would definitely be used often in the future, so he bought them all when he saw them.

Continuing to stroll, seeing a stall selling talisman-making supplies, he also stopped to take a look. He asked the stall owner to pick ten bundles of high-quality talisman paper, and Lin Zhangqing checked them again himself. After finding no problems, he paid the spirit stones.

The Green Gold Stone and Danyang Cinnabar on the stall were already in Lin Zhangqing's storage bag, so he didn't need to buy them again.

Until all the stalls were visited, there were no more gains. Halo items were not found, and spirit medicines and spirit plants were also very few, basically already in Lin Zhangqing's space.

He shook his head in disappointment and then walked towards the gambling stone workshop. As soon as he arrived inside, the shop clerk greeted him. Lin Zhangqing waved his hand, signaling that he could just stroll around, and the clerk bowed slightly and retreated.

Today, there were very few guests picking raw stones in the shop. Lin Zhangqing observed the raw stones in the shop carefully, and not a single raw stone emitting a halo was found. Truly, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

With a move in his heart, he casually chose two raw stones the size of a human head and found the boss to settle the bill, totaling 420 spirit stones from Lin Zhangqing.

By the way, he asked when new goods would arrive. This was Lin Zhangqing's real purpose. The answer was about three months later. There was no way. I don't know if they would still be in Qingyun City three months later!

He returned to the rented cave abode, greeted Grandfather, and returned to his room. After carefully checking with his divine sense and confirming there were no problems, he entered the space.

As soon as he entered, the Lu Youqiang family surrounded him. However, he had just fed them Spirit Nurturing Pills yesterday, so today he just played with them for a while, and then went to plant the eight newly bought Demon-Alluring Grasses together with the previous three.

The old three looked like they were nearly a hundred years old. It seems that the Lu Youqiang family took good care of them.

He went to see the place where Alfalfa was planted at the very edge and found that a whole patch was already very lush. There was too much of this stuff, and it was impossible to use the Catalysis Technique on all of it, so he could only let most of them grow naturally.

And he could see traces of gnawing on it. It seems that the Lu Youqiang family had already started eating.

In this way, Lin Zhangqing was relieved. Just tell Lu Youqiang and the others to control the range and don't let them spread.

He also released the Purple Crystal Scorpions and Chuyi, fed them some demon beast meat, and gave each Purple Crystal Scorpion an extra spirit stone to gnaw on.

Chuyi seemed to be entering the space for the first time and was quite curious. Unfortunately, the space was only a few hundred meters high, and Chuyi almost hit the barrier, so it could only land on the Earth Soul Fruit tree.

This gave Lin Zhangqing a fright. There were still twelve Earth Soul Fruits about to mature on it, which were to be supplied to Lin Zhangliu to restore its spiritual sense. Don't drop them. These all take several years to harvest a wave.

He hurriedly went over to hold it down. It was quite heavy, but it was still a small problem for Lin Zhangqing to hold it.

Chuyi also sold cuteness by gently topping Lin Zhangqing with its head. He smiled and groomed its feathers, fed it another Spirit Nurturing Pill, and told it that the fruit tree it was standing on was very important, and remember to protect it in the future.

Chuyi turned its head to look at the Earth Soul Fruit tree and called out, which should be indicating that it remembered.
