Chapter 42: The Dilemma of Baiqi Pavilion

Zhou Daocheng was particularly concerned about planting yellow thorn vines, so he pulled three Qi Refining Level 8 strong men over and gave them detailed instructions.

He taught the three people almost everything about planting, including the characteristics of yellow thorn vines, the environment required for growth, the interval between watering and fertilizing, the judgment of health, the configuration of special growth liquid, the judgment of maturity... and even asked them to record everything to ensure that nothing was missed.

"...These are all the key points of planting yellow thorn vines. You must pay attention to them at ordinary times. Of course, I will come to check from time to time."

Zhou Daocheng maintained a serious attitude and looked at Meng Yueshan and said, "Old Meng, this matter is mainly left to you. Arrange people to guard it and don't let any accidents happen."

Meng Yueshan also nodded solemnly, "No problem, just leave it to me. If there is any mistake, you can soak my head in wine!"

After explaining these things, a day passed and the sky darkened again.

Lin Yuan, Qin Lie and others also dug a cave near the cave of Meng Yueshan and others, and settled here completely.

Zhou Daocheng returned to the island.

After leaving for a while, the island looked a lot more desolate. After Zhou Daocheng cleaned it up casually, he carefully took care of the spiritual field and checked the growth of the spiritual plants.

The crystal jade spiritual rice grew very well. There was sufficient water nearby and the sunshine time was long, which was very suitable for the growth of this kind of spiritual rice.

However, Zhou Daocheng found that although the spiritual rice grew very lush, it was thin as a whole, obviously because of the lack of spiritual energy.

The moon grass next to it was in a similar situation. The natural environment in terms of sunshine and rain was very favorable, but the main reason was that the spiritual energy was relatively low.

There was nothing he could do about it, so Zhou Daocheng could only return to the underground cave and dilute a few buckets of spiritual spring water. With the watering of the spring water full of spiritual energy, the spiritual plants became visibly energetic and their breath was also strengthened a lot.

"It seems that in a few months, the moon grass and crystal jade spiritual rice will be mature." Looking at the tender green spiritual plants swaying gently in the night breeze, Zhou Daocheng was in a very good mood.

This made him sigh. If there were no cruel world in the world of immortal cultivation, no intrigues among cultivators, and if he simply sought such a peaceful way of cultivation, perhaps it would be a very good life.

But immediately afterwards, he couldn't help but smile with relief: "Perhaps the original purpose of many cultivators is just to seek a quietness, but it is often contrary to their wishes. It is me who is sentimental."

Return to the underground cave.

The luminous stone emits a bright light, illuminating the not-so-spacious cave, and the spiritual spring eye reflects some flickering light spots.

The black-patterned lotus growing in the spiritual spring eye has grown a bud, out of the initial dangerous period, and officially began to grow, full of vitality under the rich spiritual energy.

As a first-level medium-grade spiritual plant, the growth cycle of the black-patterned lotus is very long. With sufficient spiritual energy supply, it takes about 20 years to fully mature.

Of course, if the appropriate growth liquid can be configured, or formations, elixirs, and talismans are used to assist growth, the time may be reduced.

However, conservative estimates suggest that it will take at least ten years.

This made Zhou Daocheng sigh. It was still very difficult to harvest the black-patterned lotus in a short time and earn spiritual stones from it.

He also considered that if a wisp of innate purple qi was given to the black-patterned lotus, would it be possible to speed up its growth, or even break through the original limit like the green bamboo and become a spiritual plant of higher quality?

It is possible!

However... Zhou Changyi no longer has a second wisp of innate purple qi!

The previous wisp of innate purple qi was because it was the first time he combined with Zhao Yunzhi, so it directly condensed into a complete innate purple qi.

Although they had sex afterwards, they only accumulated a very small amount. Zhou Daocheng conservatively estimated that at this rate of accumulation, he would have to find Zhao Yunzhi at least 30 times.

Moreover, the "Sun and Moon Sutra" is not able to operate endlessly. Each process of accumulating innate purple qi requires more than one month, which is a long accumulation process.

If you want to quickly accumulate a whole wisp of innate purple qi like the first time, you can only find another woman with higher talent...

Zhou Daocheng shook his head. This is something that can only be encountered and cannot be forced.

"Forget it. The road to cultivating immortals is long and difficult. It is not necessary to practice with the Sun and Moon Sutra. According to my current cultivation speed, it should not take many years to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and even accumulate enough wealth to buy foundation-building pills."

Zhou Daocheng always believed that the path of cultivation should be steady and steady, one step at a time. If you are greedy and reckless, although you can improve quickly in a short period of time, it will not be beneficial in the long run.

He had some enlightenment in his heart. In just a few breaths of thinking, he seemed to be suddenly more open-minded. Even his cultivation, which had not improved for a long time, reached the middle stage of the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Zhou Daocheng's spiritual energy was more abundant, and his information was a little heavier. He exhaled a long breath of turbid air, and his cultivation was more advanced.

……

Four Square Market, Zhou Family Hundred Instruments Pavilion.

"Bang!"

The porcelain teacup fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"The Ma family is really going too far!"

"Humph, they actually restricted my Zhou family's transportation channel in Changze River. Are they going to fight us to the death?"

Several elders said angrily, and the atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing.

The former owner of Baiqi Pavilion, Zhou Shoujin, said in a low voice: "Since two months ago, the Ma family has blocked us. The team transporting magic tools has been attacked three times, and the loss is at least more than 2,000 spirit stones!"

Two thousand spirit stones are almost equivalent to a year's income. When everyone present heard this number, they breathed more heavily and almost tore off their vests completely.

Zhou Shouyun, who is in charge of transportation, has the eighth level of Qi training. At this time, his arm is wrapped in gauze, and his tone is slightly angry:

"Now when transporting goods, if there is no ninth level of Qi training elders to send each other, almost all of them will be attacked by the Ma family. It's okay to lose magic tools, and at most lose some spirit stones, but these bastards also hurt people, and many family members have been injured!"

"The Ma family is too bullying, and this matter must be reported to the head of the family. It must not be let go."

"This matter has been reported a long time ago. What can the head of the family do? Now the Ma family is determined to go against us. Even if the head of the family comes in person, it will only be a temporary 's urgent needs. "

"Alas, it was the girl from the Zhao family who caused the trouble. I really don't know what the family is thinking. They have to do it for a Qi-refining family..."

"Bang! Enough!"

A childish and slightly majestic voice sounded, Zhou Daoqi put down the cup in his hand, and his slightly fat round face was extremely calm: "Fourth uncle, eighth uncle, thirteenth uncle, you talk too much."

Several elders looked unhappy and asked: "Daoqi, what do you mean?"

Zhou Daoqi was not stage-frightened, and his voice was surprisingly calm: "The decision made by the head of the family does not need us to judge. If you have any opinions, you can directly raise them with the head of the family."
