Chapter 254: Returning to Calm

Subsequently, he ignored the Purple Crystal Scorpions and walked directly toward the spirit fields.

There were still eighteen mu of spirit fields here, the same as before. Eight mu were planted with spirit rice, and ten mu were planted with spirit medicine. What was planted was also the same as before, all taken care of by his aunt when she had time on weekdays.

Yesterday, his aunt had already explained the basic situation to him. From now on, these eighteen mu of spirit fields would be handed back to him to take care of himself.

Lin Zhangqing started to get busy in these ten mu of spirit medicine fields. After wandering outside for over a year, it had been a long time since he had worked in the spirit fields himself! Fortunately, these tasks were the basic operations of a spirit planter, so he wouldn't forget them no matter what.

Two hours later, he basically completed the tasks in the medicine fields and returned to the small courtyard nearby.

While he was working just now, First-One and Second-One had already returned and were now staying in their nests. Lin Changqing just happened to feed them some more demonic beast meat and Spirit Nurturing Pills.

After doing all this, there was nothing to do on Aoyun Peak today, so Lin Zhangqing flew directly to the Affairs Hall.

Lin Zhangqing specifically chose this time to come over; he knew that at this time, there wouldn't be too many people.

After greeting the uncles and elders present, he honestly lined up behind them.

When it was Lin Zhangqing's turn, there were basically no people here! Taking advantage of this gap, he prepared to quickly exchange the things for family contribution points.

"Greetings, Third Grandfather! I have some things I want to exchange with the family." Lin Zhangqing went straight to the point.

"Little Qing'er is back. Take out whatever you have and let me see, I'll help you calculate it into contribution points!" Third Grandfather chuckled.

Lin Zhangqing nodded and said: "Okay, thank you, Third Grandfather!"

After saying this, he started taking things out of his storage bag: twenty Heavenly Thunder Beads, twenty Yin Thunder Beads, fifty bottles of Spirit Recovery Pills, fifty bottles of Spring Restoration Pills, and twenty bottles of Jade Healing Pills.

All at once, the entire tabletop was filled. Third Grandfather was a bit dumbfounded, but fortunately, he reacted quickly.

He immediately started counting the things on the table, especially the forty high-power one-time Dharma treasures. After counting them clearly, he immediately put them into the storage bag at his waist, as if he was afraid Lin Zhangqing would take them back! Next were the various pills. The more Third Grandfather looked, the happier he became, and his gaze toward Lin Zhangqing was also increasingly appreciative.

It was very obvious that Lin Zhangqing had specifically brought spirit objects needed by the family to support the family this time.

After spending some time, he finally finished counting everything. Third Grandfather pondered for a moment before saying: "Little Qing'er has a heart. These things are all spirit objects urgently needed by the family, with a total value of forty-six thousand spirit stones."

"According to the regulations of the Affairs Hall, they should originally be calculated as family contribution points based on eighty percent of the value of the spirit objects. This is done to prevent clansmen from using the price difference to flip family contribution points."

"But Third Grandfather knows you don't have this intention, so this time I will calculate them as full contribution points for you."

"Calculated as one family contribution point equals one spirit stone, a total of forty-six thousand family contribution points! I will transfer them to your identity jade token. Give me your identity jade token!"

Lin Zhangqing shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this and said: "No need, Third Grandfather, just calculate the family contribution points based on eighty percent! There is indeed a portion of spirit objects inside that I specifically bought at Wanbao Pavilion, thinking the family would need them."

"But there is also a portion that is my own war trophy. I can't use that many by myself, so I exchanged them with the family! For this portion of spirit objects, I didn't spend a single spirit stone, so it should still be calculated based on eighty percent!"

Hearing what Lin Zhangqing said, Third Grandfather also shook his head and said: "I am just old, not senile. I understand very well!"

"For someone like you who is clearly thinking for the family, we must not chill your heart."

"So don't argue, let's compromise, and calculate the family contribution points based on ninety percent!"

Knowing that Third Grandfather's mind was made up, Lin Zhangqing couldn't say anything more and could only nod, honestly handing over his identity jade token.

After Third Grandfather took it, he added forty-one thousand four hundred contribution points to it. Adding the contribution points that were originally on the identity jade token, Lin Zhangqing now had forty-two thousand contribution points.

From the Ziyang Secret Realm, Lin Zhangqing had captured quite a few various pills. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he gathered thirty bottles of common pills and ten bottles of Jade Healing Pills, and processed a portion of the pills for the family. This could be considered making the best use of everything; anyway, he wouldn't use them if they were kept in the inner space!

Now there were still over a hundred bottles of Qi Gathering Pills in his storage bag! However, they were all middle or low grade. Anyway, he definitely wouldn't use them himself.

He had originally thought about taking this opportunity to take them out and exchange them with the family, but with Third Grandfather like this, he felt embarrassed to take them out now.

After putting away his identity jade token, Lin Zhangqing bid farewell to Third Grandfather and then left the Affairs Hall.

Returning to the cultivation room at home, he started cultivating various spells and divine abilities. Now that Lin Zhangqing was back at Nine Peaks Mountain, he would have to restore his previous various daily routines in the future.

Two hours later, Lin Zhangqing completed the cultivation of the various spells and divine abilities he had scheduled. The harvest this time was not small!

He felt that there was a spell Lin Zhangqing liked very much that should break through recently, and his mood was very happy.

Coming out of the cultivation room, he happened to see his younger sister, Lin Changling, training the Little Tiger Girl in the courtyard. Lin Zhangqing felt a bit strange. Why was she still at home at this time? So he couldn't help but ask: "Changling, why didn't you go play today? Or finding Twelfth Sister to play is also fine!"

"They are all cultivating, or learning the hundred arts of cultivation. Sister Changlian is going to go into closed-door cultivation to advance to the sixth layer of Qi Refining in the next two days, so she doesn't have time to play with me either."

"So I can only come to train my Tiger Girl!" Lin Changling said helplessly.

Lin Zhangqing's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked: "Your fire spirit root aptitude is so good, learning alchemy is the most suitable. Didn't you learn it?"

His sister shook her head and said: "No, the Clan Leader said I just need to focus on cultivation, no need to divide my attention to learn any alchemy or artifact refining!"

Hearing what his sister said, Lin Changqing also understood how high the Clan Leader's expectations for Lin Changling were! He should be hoping that Lin Changling could focus on cultivation and strive to improve her cultivation base, so that in the future, like him, she could become the Stabilizing Pillar of the Lin family and protect the whole clan.

But Lin Zhangqing felt that putting this heavy burden on his sister Lin Changling was a bit too cruel!

The Lin family was everyone's Lin family, and everyone should take on their own responsibilities. It shouldn't be that just because his sister had good aptitude, she should be the one to bear the heavy burden of protecting the whole clan alone.

This was too heavy for her, and it might crush her, or even cause some bad changes in her heart.

However, he knew that whatever he said now couldn't change the Clan Leader's decision, so he put this thought in his heart first. He would pay close attention to Lin Changling.

If her pressure was truly too great, Lin Zhangqing could only appropriately reveal his own strength to her. He couldn't let his most beloved sister be crushed!

There was another problem. Originally, he had planned to wait until after Foundation Establishment to learn alchemy, but now because of Lin Changliu's reason, he was already at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and he could advance to Foundation Establishment in a year or a year and a half.

Moreover, his time was relatively abundant, so he decided to start learning alchemy. Of course, if he could get a subordinate who knew alchemy, that would be the most perfect. Unfortunately, he hadn't found a suitable one yet.

Then he had to learn alchemy himself, otherwise, the spirit medicines in the inner space would all get moldy.

Moreover, learning alchemy himself could also appropriately consume some of the spirit medicines stored in the space.

Since he had to learn alchemy, he had to go find Sixth Grandfather. With his appreciation for Lin Zhangqing, he shouldn't refuse.

After thinking about it, he made up his mind to go to the Spirit Pill Pavilion tomorrow to find Sixth Grandfather Lin Fanxuan to learn alchemy.
