The area of the yard has become larger, and there are many more houses in it. Li Qingfeng looked around and expressed satisfaction with Li Qingdong's work - before he left, he had told Li Qingdong to continue building the Li family yard. But he didn't give any guidance to Li Qingdong at that time, he just spoke in general terms. It seems now that even though what he said was vague at the time, Li Qingdong still arranged it quite well.
As they walked, they listened to Li Qingzhu's introduction. For more than a month, Li Qingdong directed the clan's craftsmen to build a lobby in the yard, and built a wooden house behind it with a long table and seven or eight chairs - said to be used for discussing matters. A small cellar was dug next to the kitchen and built with bricks to store some ingredients. He even built a simple stable. Although it was empty without horses, Li Qingfeng still secretly sighed that Li Qingdong was quite talented in this area.
He may not really know what to do, but he has seen it in the village before and feels that it should be in his own yard. But he dared to give orders to do it, and this was what Li Qingfeng valued.
Including the fact that the three of them sneaked back to practice, Li Qingfeng was actually not too angry. Because cultivating immortality is an act that defies heaven, only those who dare to do it, dare to fight, and dare to take responsibility can keep moving forward. If Li Qingdong was just obedient and would not dare to do things without his instructions, then although Li Qingfeng would not say anything, he would definitely be very disappointed in his heart.
Now it seems that, regardless of cultivation, Li Qingdong has initially passed Li Qingfeng's test. He decided to take Li Qingdong with him the next time he went out, so that he could broaden his horizons and maybe bring him more surprises.
Walking into the lobby and meeting hall, Li Qingfeng praised them and decided to exchange their cultivation experiences here in the future. Suddenly, he remembered that Li Qingzhu said that Li Qingdong had discovered a mountain spring, so he asked Li Qingzhu about it. But Li Qingzhu didn't know much about this matter. Li Qingfeng didn't pay much attention and planned to wait until Li Qingdong came back to ask.
After learning that everything was fine in the valley, Li Qingfeng suddenly felt tiredness welling up in his heart. He was injured a few days ago, and then he traveled day and night. Now that he was finally free, he couldn't help but feel a little tired. He said a few words not to disturb him, then went back to his room, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
...
Half a month later, in the meeting hall of the Li family courtyard.
Li Qingfeng sat in the main seat, and next to him was Li Qingdong. There was a bowl of water in front of them. At this time, Li Qingfeng was squinting his eyes slightly and saying nothing.
He originally planned to rest for a few days after returning from Fangshi to recuperate, and then start setting up the spirit gathering array. The level of the spiritual veins they occupy now is too low. When Li Qingfeng reaches another level of cultivation, this spiritual vein will not be enough to support his cultivation.
This does not mean that he cannot practice. Many casual cultivators do not even have spiritual veins and rely entirely on absorbing the spiritual energy in spiritual stones to practice. This is one of the reasons why casual cultivators are always poorer than sect or family monks. one. However, without enough spiritual energy, his cultivation would be half the result with twice the result, or else he would have to consume a large amount of spiritual stones to provide spiritual energy, just like an ordinary casual cultivator.
That's why Li Qingfeng planned to set up the Spirit Gathering Array and the Spirit Gathering Array before. The former was for the present and the latter was for the future. He went to Da'anfang City to buy the formation flag for this reason.
Unfortunately, he didn't have enough spirit stones and could only afford five blank formation flags. Whether it is the Spirit Gathering Formation that gathers spiritual energy or the Spirit Accumulating Formation that nourishes spiritual veins, they all require the five formation bases of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which are five formation flags. Fortunately, Li Qingfeng was a formation master in his previous life and knew how to draw formation flags, otherwise he would have to buy formations drawn by others. Regardless of whether it suits the environment or the terrain, the price will at least be doubled several times.
Therefore, Li Qingfeng originally planned to set up the spirit gathering formation first. As for the Yunling Formation, I can only wait until the next time I go to Fangshi to buy a new blank formation flag.
However, just when he was about to set up the spirit gathering formation, the mountain spring brought back by Li Qingdong broke his plan.
There was actually a faint trace of evil spirit in that mountain spring.
Demonic energy comes from monsters.
Not only humans can practice in this world, but also mountains, rocks, plants, trees, birds and animals can practice. Ordinary beasts absorb spiritual energy day and night, and slowly turn into monsters.
Most of the monsters are violent in character, not intelligent, and like to eat human flesh. But as the cultivation level increases, the spiritual intelligence of the monster beast will gradually open up, and finally it can even transform into a human form. This kind of monster is called a monster cultivator.
But both monsters and humans need spiritual energy to practice. Monsters do not have spiritual intelligence like humans, and can use spiritual stones or arrange formations to gather spiritual energy. Most monster beasts will occupy a place with sufficient spiritual energy as a lair for training. In other words, where there is a monster beast lair, there must be enough spiritual energy and even the existence of spiritual veins.
This proves that there is probably a monster beast at the source of the stream, and there is also likely to be a spiritual vein.
Li Qingfeng held up the bowl and put a mouthful of mountain spring water in his mouth. He closed his eyes and felt the evil spirit contained in it. After a while, he spat out the water, opened his eyes and said, "Qingdong, tell me your experience of discovering the mountain spring and its location."
Although Li Qingdong was a little confused, he still told the truth.
Li Qingdong's family was originally a farmer, but during slack periods, he often followed his father into the mountains to hunt game to improve the family's diet. This habit did not change even when he embarked on his journey to immortality. Even when Li Qingfeng was around, he was willing to walk around the yard and explore the surrounding terrain after daily practice. He also wanted to hunt game and go back to improve his diet.
A few days ago, Li Qingdong discovered a small stream about ten miles away in the valley. As a farmer, he always wants to be self-sufficient. He originally thought that it would not be good to ask the villagers to bring water in, but he found that this small stream suited his needs. So, he walked all the way up the creek, trying to find the upper reaches of the creek to get some water to drink.
According to Li Qingdong, the stream flows out of a rock crevice in the valley and is a spring on the mountain. After discovering the source, he went to the yard to get two wooden barrels, and went back to collect some spring water the next day.
Hearing Li Qingdong's words, some thoughts flashed in Li Qingfeng's eyes.
Although this mountain spring contains demonic energy, its concentration is really not high. It is basically difficult for ordinary monks to detect it unless they get closer to check. And Li Qingdong received the water from the source of the mountain spring. Even the evil spirit of the spring water at the source was so weak, it seemed that it was probably a low-level monster.
Thinking of this, Li Qingfeng frowned. It would be fine if it was just a low-level ordinary monster. Now he is not good at dealing with monsters - even though he has killed many qi cultivators, that is because the human monks' physical bodies are weak. He only needs to use the soul attack to shock the opponent, and then add an ice cone technique. .
