Chapter 179: Pointing Directly to the Great Dao

Actually, when Lin Zhangqing heard "Heavy Water Wave Control Sutra", his heart was already shaking violently.

The cultivation of this "Heavy Water Wave Control Sutra" required heavy water, which was simply a perfect match for his Xuan Yuan Heavy Water Bottle.

There was no need to go outside to buy it at all. He had as much First-Rank and Second-Rank heavy water as he wanted, and there was quite a lot in storage for Third-Rank and Fourth-Rank, and he even had ready-made Fifth-Rank heavy water.

The most important thing was that his mother, Xu Wenying, mainly cultivated the Water System, so this "Heavy Water Wave Control Sutra" was the most suitable for her to cultivate.

Now the problem was, where was the cultivation method hidden, and to what realm could this cultivation method be cultivated? As for the Zhao family's mortal clansmen that Zhao Liyu mentioned later, he wasn't interested and didn't listen much. In his heart, he was thinking about these two cultivation methods.

"Then where are the two cultivation methods you mentioned now?" Lin Zhangqing asked directly.

"In the Zhao Family Village of Fengtai County, Qiyun Prefecture. The cultivation method jade slip is in my grandfather's grave, inside a stone box under his coffin."

"The Spirit Planter inheritance and some ordinary cultivation methods are in the secret room of the family ancestral hall in the village." Zhao Liyu simply said everything.

Lin Zhangqing nodded, knowing that Zhao Liyu had said it so detailedly, it was impossible for her to lie to him.

Besides, he had already promised to leave a copy for the Zhao family, so there was even less need for her to lie to him, unless she didn't want to live.

Since that was the case, Zhao Liyu definitely had to stay in the space. She already knew about the existence of the inner space, and releasing her outside would have the danger of exposing the inner space, so let her stay here first. "I will find time to go find them. When I find them, I will leave a copy for you, provided you didn't lie to me."

Zhao Liyu hurriedly said: "No, I wouldn't dare to lie to Master. This secret is only known to my father and me. Since he passed away, now only I know it."

Lin Zhangqing nodded. This was best, so he continued to ask: "Then do you know to what realm your family's two cultivation methods can be cultivated?"

Zhao Liyu tried hard to recall and said uncertainly: "I remember when I was young, I heard my father say that it seemed to say that these two cultivation methods were both top-level cultivation methods that could point directly to the Great Dao."

"Then in my understanding, the meaning of pointing directly to the Great Dao should at least be able to be cultivated to the Deity Transformation realm, right?"

"But my father heard it from my grandfather. As for what it's really like, I'll wait for Master to get the cultivation method jade slip and see for yourself!"

Hearing Zhao Liyu say that the two cultivation methods could point directly to the Great Dao, Lin Zhangqing's heart also jumped a few times violently. He was already full of expectations and couldn't wait to get the cultivation method jade slip.

However, after listening to her words later, he also felt that it was better not to be too happy too early. He would wait until he got the jade slip to see the specific situation! It was possible that in the eyes of a Qi Refining cultivator, pointing directly to the Great Dao meant the Golden Core Stage! This was also very possible and could be explained.

It was better not to hold too much hope now, lest the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Lin Zhangqing nodded, considering Zhao Liyu's statement recognized, and stopped struggling with this problem.

So he continued: "Tell me about your own spirit roots and age first! And also tell me about your specialties. I'll see how to arrange you."

Zhao Liyu nodded and introduced: "I am a Four Spirit Root—Wood, Water, Metal, Earth. I lack Fire in the Five Elements. Among them, the Wood Spirit Root attribute is the highest, with thirty-nine points, so I cultivate the Wood-system 'Green Wood Longevity Art'."

"I am thirty-two years old this year, and I just advanced to the Qi Refining Eighth Layer at the beginning of this year. I am a First-Rank Upper-Grade Spirit Planter, and I also know a little bit of Beast Taming Arts, but I don't have a specialized inheritance, so I can be considered to know how to take care of spirit beasts."

After finishing, she looked at Lin Zhangqing with anticipation, obviously hoping to get some recognition from Lin Zhangqing.

Lin Zhangqing thought for a moment and said to her: "How about this, you stay in the space from now on and keep Xu Meiniang company. You can also help take care of the spirit herbs and spirit plants planted in the space when you have time."

"I have three spirit pets in the space, which are the auspicious spirit beasts, the Three-Colored Deer. They are natural Spirit Planters. Now the spirit herbs and spirit plants in the space are all taken care of by them."

"They are my most important and best helpers. You can also divide the work and cooperate with them, but taking care of high-rank spirit herbs and spirit plants should still be mainly up to them."

"Also, the spirit herbs and spirit fruits in the space, without my permission, you cannot take them without authorization, especially the Hundred-Year Vermilion Fruit, Foundation Establishment Fruit, and Earth Soul Fruit. Do you understand?"

Zhao Liyu hurriedly nodded: "Understood, I am responsible for taking care of some of the middle and low-rank spirit herbs and spirit plants."

"For mature spirit herbs and spirit fruits, without Master's permission, I absolutely will not, and dare not, mess around. Please rest assured, Master."

Lin Zhangqing nodded and continued: "Of course, some ordinary spirit fruits can be eaten at will, like the Longlong Fruit, Spirit Peach, and Spirit Apricot. There is no problem with these ordinary spirit fruits; eat more if you like. As for cultivation, I will provide you with some middle and upper-grade Qi Gathering Pills. When you reach the Qi Refining Great Perfection, I will give you a Foundation Establishment Pill or a Foundation Establishment Fruit."

"The above are all rewards for you taking out the two cultivation methods. After Foundation Establishment, what kind of treatment you can get will depend on your own striving. I don't keep idlers here."

"But at the very least, from now until Foundation Establishment, you can cultivate here with peace of mind."

After finishing, he took out ten bottles of Qi Gathering Pills from the storage bag, five bottles of medium-grade and five bottles of high-grade, and handed them to Zhao Liyu. He had already given her a storage bag just now, so he didn't need to give her another one.

Zhao Liyu hadn't expected Lin Zhangqing to actually provide resources for her to cultivate, and that he would give her a Foundation Establishment Pill or a Foundation Establishment Fruit in the future.

This far exceeded her expectations. If she had known it would be like this, she would have cried and shouted to come over and be his slave.

She thanked Lin Zhangqing very happily and excitedly: "Thank you, Master. I will definitely work hard in the future and take good care of the spirit herbs and spirit plants here."

Then she respectfully took the ten bottles of pills and put them into the storage bag.

Lin Zhangqing was very satisfied with her attitude. He suddenly remembered wanting to plant some spirit rice so they could be self-sufficient in the space.

So he instructed: "In the next few days, if you have time, you can clear out ten mu of land first. I plan to plant some spirit rice to serve as rations for you."

"Also, since you know how to take care of spirit beasts, I will find an opportunity to bring some poultry and livestock like Eight Treasures Chickens in for you to raise."

"But you must watch them well and never let them run around and ruin my spirit herbs, spirit grass, and spirit plants."

"Also, if you have time, you can also expand the pond with Xu Meiniang. Let's expand it by three or four times first!"

"By then, I will bring in some spirit fish fry and raise some spirit fish in that pond."

"It can be considered increasing the utilization rate of the space and incidentally improving your meals."

Xu Meiniang and Zhao Liyu were overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly agreed.

The arrangement of matters in the inner space came to an end like this.

Just now, on the way to the edge of the space, Lin Zhangqing felt that the space seemed to have grown a bit larger.

Ever since he left Lin Zhangliu to clean up the Red Smelted Fire Copper mine vein, he hadn't measured the space area, and he didn't know exactly how many mu of land had increased.

He had been busy with other things just now, so it just happened that he had time now, so he would measure it incidentally!

He threw the two corpses that were eyesores on the ground into the deep pit for Lin Zhangliu to absorb and digest.

Then he started measuring with the deep pit as the origin. After a toss, he finally counted it out.

It had increased by more than sixty mu of land. Now there were a total of 1190 mu of land. In the future, the land area within the space would only grow larger and larger.

Now the space was already not small. Increasing by dozens of mu of land, if he didn't measure it, he wouldn't really feel it.

The inner space would only grow larger and larger in the future, to the point where even Lin Zhangqing couldn't measure it. He was truly looking forward to the arrival of that day.

He patrolled the inner space once and didn't find any problems.

He also instructed the Lu Youqiang family, as well as Xu Meiniang and Zhao Liyu, that both sides should get along well and cooperate with each other. After getting a satisfactory response, he prepared to exit the inner space.
