The immortals of the two worlds started from farming and refining pills

Five days passed like this, and the crops that had been ripened in advance on Lettuce Island were finally harvested.

Ryan took a group of strong men from the village and sailed to the nearby sea market to sell the perishable fruits and vegetables.

The crops that Li Qing ripened with the foundation-building spell Spring Breeze and Rain were of very good quality.

According to Ryan's rough estimate, it would be no problem to sell them for 120 gold coins, which was enough for Lettuce Island to pay taxes this year.

Ryan left temporarily, and Rick stayed on the island to chat with Li Qing and explore the jungle on the island to find other possible elf bugs.

Unfortunately, although this world loves plants, elf bugs are not everywhere.

Li Qing looked around and did not find elf bugs, but accidentally found two wild witch medicines that had just sprouted.

This witch medicine looks like rabbit tail grass, with a goose yellow body, and the fluffy fruit spikes exude a faint earth-attributed aura.

Li Qing also determined that the witch medicine in this world is similar to the spiritual plants in the cultivation world, and can be used as a material for alchemy.

However, the witch medicine here is divided into two types: witch medicine produced by the transformation of ordinary plants by elves is more mainstream, with a short planting cycle and a large yield, which is similar to the spiritual rice in the world of cultivation.

However, the characteristic of absorbing spiritual energy of this witch medicine cannot be inherited. Once the elves die, the inheritance will be broken.

The number of spiritual plants that grow naturally is generally very small. With such a small number of samples, it is extremely difficult to give birth to spirit insects like ordinary crops planted on a large scale. Without catalysis, the growth cycle is generally long.

Just like the two plants in front of them, it will take about 30 years to mature, but the effect is not great. For Lettuce Island, it is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw it away.

But at least it is a new variety of spiritual plants that have never been seen before, so Li Qing happily accepted it and collected it with a jade box and put it in the storage bag.

As an alchemist, new spiritual plants often bring him new inspiration. If he develops new elixirs with this, he may have a considerable income.

In the lettuce field, a green light spurted out of the mouth of the elf insect Asun, shooting at the lettuce Cordyceps that gave birth to it.

Soon, the lettuce Cordyceps shook slightly and began to shrink. In a quarter of an hour, it turned into the size of dust.

Ah Sun opened his mouth and sucked it into his stomach. He called out weakly and lay in Li Qing's palm, motionless.

This is another magical ability of the spirit insect, carrying its own Cordyceps with it. It's just time-consuming and laborious, and it can't be done overnight.

"My lord, the spirit insect that has recovered the Cordyceps needs to be placed in a jade box and prepare enough gem powder for it as nutrients." Rick reminded at the right time.

Li Qing smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter."

He pinched a finger gesture, sensed the talisman on Ah Sun's forehead, and called out softly: "Collect!"

Ah Sun disappeared from Li Qing's palm "suddenly", and the next moment, he appeared in his Dantian, lying under the virtual shadow of the portal in a daze.

Today is the day Li Qing returns to the world of cultivation. The second-level spiritual vein cave in Tanyuan Immortal City is about to expire, and he must go back to show up.

Considering that it would take time to restart the portal, Li Qing was worried about leaving Ah Sun here, so he simply packed it up and took it away with the Cordyceps.

Fortunately, the spirit insects are similar to the grass spirits, and they can all be received in the Dantian. Only the strong ones above the Yuanying Zhenjun can sense it with their spiritual sense.

"Rick, I'm leaving first. Say goodbye to your father for me." Li Qing waved to him, performed the wind control technique, and flew to the distant sky.

"Farewell, sir!" Rick bowed, "Thank you for your help to Lettuce Island."

Li Qing flew a distance away, and when he sensed that the fragments of the "Tianwei Gate" were about to restart, he randomly found a deserted island to land.

His spiritual sense slightly touched the virtual shadow of the portal, and the next moment, Li Qing returned to the world of cultivation.

The rich spiritual energy around made Li Qing moan comfortably. Just as he was about to meditate and try his luck, he heard a crisp chime sound outside the door.

"Senior Li, the lease of the spirit vein has expired. I dare to open the cave, please forgive me!" A clear female voice came.

Li Qing's face brightened, and he tidied himself up a little, and said loudly: "I have come out of retreat, and open the door!"

The female voice seemed to be choked, and the sound of the chime that sounded afterwards became a little disordered.

Soon, the door of the cave was opened, and a female cultivator of the third level of Qi Refining walked in, with an uncontrollable shock on her face: "Senior Li, you actually..."

The three words "still alive" almost jumped out of her mouth.

Li Qing didn't bother with her, and stood up with a flick of his long sleeves: "Before building the foundation, I was lucky to buy a low-quality foundation-building pill from Master Liu He, and barely saved my life!"

As he said that, he stepped past the female cultivator and walked out of the cave gate.

This explanation was of course not for the female cultivator. It was for the Tanyuan Immortal City behind him and other cultivators.

Otherwise, if he failed to build his foundation but survived, who knows what kind of rumors about his adventures would spread.

But he really had an adventure, whether it was the fragments of the "Gate of Heavenly Dimension" or the elf insect Asun, the treasures were really tempting.

If someone really came to him, he, a Qi-refining cultivator who failed to build his foundation, could not stop those greedy people.

Fortunately, it was a fact that he bought the foundation-building pill. After the pill was consumed, no one would miss it. It didn't matter if it was exposed at this time.

Some people who found that Li Qing had come out of seclusion alive could confirm the news from Master Liu He with a message talisman.

Estimating the value of a foundation-building pill, Li Qing's entire fortune had long been almost gone, so those people gave up some of their unbearable thoughts.

Outside the Lingmai Cave, several members of the Li clan who had accompanied Li Qing to Tanyuan Immortal City were looking at him with a mixture of sadness and joy.

A girl with a beautiful face wiped away her tears and threw herself on him: "Sixth Uncle, you're okay. I'm so glad!"

This is the granddaughter of his eldest brother, named Li Wei. She is also the only one among the younger generation of his generation whose spiritual root qualifications have reached the middle level.

As long as Li Wei can remember, Li Qing has been teaching her how to practice, and her love for her is naturally deeper than that of other clan members.

Li Qing smiled and patted her shoulder: "Silly girl, uncle told you before that nothing will happen to you."

After comforting his niece and granddaughter for a few words, Li Qing said hello to other clan members, and then turned to look at the female cultivator.

"In Tanyuan Immortal City, Senior Zhou and Senior Jiang took great care of me. I should have said goodbye in person."

"It's just that the two seniors are stationed at a strategic location and don't allow outsiders to come in or out. I've been away from home for a long time and I'm injured, so I can only ask fellow Taoists to convey it to me."

The female cultivator hurriedly responded and watched him take his tribe members, take the flying boat from the fairy city to the south, and leave quickly.

In the main hall of the Immortal City, two Taoists were playing chess, and the black and white dragons were fighting on the chessboard.

Hearing the news conveyed by the female cultivator, Taoist Zhou, who was wearing a Tai Chi crown, smiled slightly: "It's really a blessing. Fellow Taoist Li is so thoughtful that he even purchased the Foundation Building Pill."

Daoist Jiang, who wore a lotus crown on his head, shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity that he was born in a poor family, and his practice of Kung Fu was hindered. In order to cultivate bravely and diligently, he took too many pills and accumulated too much erysipelas."

Zhou Daoren also sighed: "If he were born in our Tanyuan Immortal City, with his alchemy skills, he would be worthy of Master giving him a genuine Foundation Building Pill."

"It's useless to talk more." Daoist Jiang waved his hand and ordered the female cultivator, "Spread the news about his purchase of the Foundation Establishment Pill. It will save him some trouble."

"Your order!" The female cultivator turned and left.
