Chapter 304: Earth Spirit Root

He flew toward Aoyun Peak with his sword. Until Lin Zhangqing landed in the courtyard, he didn't see the figures of Chuyi and Chuer.

Since returning yesterday evening, he had let them move freely. Now that they were not on Aoyun Peak, they should have gone out to find food by themselves.

Taking advantage of the fact that his companions hadn't come over yet, Lin Zhangqing hurriedly did as much of the work as he could that had been left behind in the spirit field during the three days he was away.

The ten mu of spirit medicine and eight mu of spirit rice on Aoyun Peak were almost mature, estimated to be within this month.

At that time, the ten mu of spirit medicine should be kept for his own use, because Lin Zhangqing had already decided to learn the Qi Gathering Pill for his first pill formula.

It just so happened that the ten mu of spirit medicine Lin Zhangqing planted were the main ingredients for the Qi Gathering Pill. When the time came, he would just go to the Affairs Hall to buy some auxiliary ingredients, which was both easy and convenient.

After a while, when the time was about right, Lin Changjie came over first, followed by Lin Changlian, and then the companions came one after another.

Everyone still liked to sit in the pavilion in the small courtyard. As the host, Lin Zhangqing took out the spirit fruits he had specially picked last night to entertain everyone and personally brewed Green Jade Tea for his guests.

His companions wouldn't stand on ceremony with Lin Zhangqing. A large plate of spirit fruits was wiped out in an instant—no, it should be said it was snatched away. Just like when they were young, it only tasted good if they snatched it to eat.

Everyone ate, drank, played, and made trouble, and time passed in an instant. They played for a long while, but because they had to go to the Clan Leader later, Lin Zhangqing didn't dare to drag it out for too long.

So he hurriedly greeted his companions to start the theme of gathering today: distributing spoils.

He said to Lin Changlian: "Twelfth Sister, take out our spoils from yesterday! Let's hurry up and distribute them.

Later, I have to go to the Clan Leader to let him know we are back. If I drag it out for too long, I'm afraid he will punish me."

When everyone heard this, they all laughed loudly.

Lin Changlian said with a smile: "Our spoils are all here. Everyone, let's work together to refine these storage bags!"

After saying this, she opened the small package she had been carrying with her. Inside were exactly ten storage bags, a spirit beast bag, and a pile of offensive and defensive Dharma artifacts.

Everyone responded, and then each took two storage bags to start refining. Lin Zhangqing specifically took the only spirit beast bag. After refining, as expected, it was empty inside.

This should have been the one the rogue leader used to carry that Green-Feathered Eagle, but it had already been killed, and the spirit beast corpse should be with Lin Changjie now.

After a while, the companions finished refining the storage bags, and just like before, they poured out the things inside.

After the ten storage bags were emptied, a large pile of things was already piled on the ground, looking very messy.

Except for his younger sister Lin Changling, everyone had experience, so they immediately started to classify these things. With many hands, they finished it very quickly.

Then Lin Zhangqing made a rough count: twenty-one medium-grade spirit stones and more than thirteen thousand low-grade spirit stones.

On average, each rogue cultivator provided them with about fifteen hundred spirit stones, which was not as much as Lin Zhangqing had imagined. It seemed these two groups of rogue cultivators were not too wealthy! In terms of pills, there were quite a lot, over eighty bottles, most of which were Qi Gathering Pills for cultivation. There were no low-grade ones found, probably because they didn't look down on them.

They were all medium and superior Qi Gathering Pills. The remaining small part were Qi Recovery Pills and Spring Return Pills.

In terms of Dharma artifacts, there were also quite a lot of gains. After counting, it was discovered that there were fifty-two pieces in total. There were no low-grade Dharma artifacts; they were all medium and superior ones, and there was even a top-grade defensive Dharma artifact inside.

However, these things were obtained from rogue cultivators after all, and a part of the Dharma artifacts with marks on them were very obviously stolen goods. Keeping them in their hands was a disaster.

So later, he had to make it clear to his companions that he would take these things away to deal with them, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble.

Quite a few books were also found, twenty-something in total. Lin Zhangqing flipped through them roughly and soon lost interest. They were all widely circulated, very common cultivation methods, and some cultivation notes and the like.

He would just send these to the family Scripture Pavilion later and let Second Grandfather organize them himself! The old man liked to do this kind of thing.

The rest were jade boxes and miscellaneous items. Lin Zhangqing greeted everyone to open the jade boxes together. In fact, this was the part he was looking forward to most.

He wasn't interested in the spirit stones, pills, Dharma artifacts, cultivation methods, etc., in the front; only the things in the jade boxes could give him a little expectation.

However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Most of the jade boxes were empty, and a small part contained spirit medicine, but they had all lost the possibility of being replanted.

The only thing that made him a bit excited was finding seven or eight Earth Spirit Root seeds. This Earth Spirit Root was not the kind of spirit root on Lin Changling, but a kind of thing similar to yam.

Both cultivators and spirit beasts could eat it. At the same time, this spirit plant was also the main ingredient for Grain Avoidance Pills. Eating one of these could keep one from eating for about a month. This kind of Grain Avoidance Pill cost about ten spirit stones each.

However, there was no taste, and if one ate too much at once, one might be bloated to death. Anyway, if it wasn't necessary, Lin Zhangqing definitely wouldn't eat it.

However, for others, if they were going out for a long time, bringing one or two bottles was a good choice.

But Lin Zhangqing didn't need it. He had the support of Lin Changliu and the inner space. Now, he was almost self-sufficient inside, so how could he let himself go hungry?

However, this kind of Earth Spirit Root was particularly liked by earth-attribute spirit beasts. As soon as he saw this thing, Lin Zhangqing thought of his few Earth Armored Beasts, Jin Yi, Jin Er, and their family.

He decided to take these Earth Spirit Root seeds back to the inner space to plant them. He had seen a detailed introduction to this thing in the Spirit Medicine Illustration, knowing that they grew relatively slowly.

Normally, it would take about five years to mature. However, when they matured, they would bear some spirit seeds on their vines, seven or eight at the least, and twenty-something at the most.

And Lin Zhangqing believed that in the inner space, they should be able to grow faster. He believed that it wouldn't be long before the Earth Armored Beasts would have a treat.

After counting the things, Lin Changjie, as the eldest brother here, took the initiative to stand up and preside over the task of distributing the spoils.

Lin Changjie said earnestly: "The things are all organized, and everyone has seen them. If there is no problem, I will start distributing."

Lin Changjie said: "I will try my best to divide the spirit stones and pills equally among everyone. For the Dharma artifacts, Ninth Brother will choose first, then it will be me, Changlian, Changling, and then Changyuan and Zhang Hao.

This selection order is arranged according to the performance in the two battles. Let's see if everyone has any opinions!"

The companions nodded one after another, expressing agreement and having no opinions.

However, at this time, Lin Zhangqing said: "I think we should pick out those with marks from that pile of Dharma artifacts.

These things are obviously stolen goods. There is no need for everyone to use these things, and holding them in our hands is always a disaster!"

As soon as the voice fell,

his younger sister and Lin Changlian also expressed that they could not use these Dharma artifacts. In fact, everyone had enough Dharma artifacts, so there was no need to take this risk.

Lin Zhang Hao, on the other hand, looked like he wanted to say something but stopped. However, seeing that everyone had agreed, he didn't say anything more.

But Lin Zhangqing had already seen it. Of course, he had to ask about his meaning, so he asked: "Tenth Brother, I see you seem to have something to say. Just say it directly! We are all companions who grew up together, there is nothing we cannot say! Otherwise, it's not good to hold it in your heart."
