Farewell to his ancestor, Lu Xuanji returned to his normal life.
At the foot of the mountain, spiritual fields are opened and spiritual rice is grown.
After entering the third level of Qi training, the area of the spiritual field expanded to 300 acres.
One hundred acres are planted with spiritual rice, and two hundred acres are cultivated with spiritual medicine.
About half of the elixirs and rice grown are handed over to the family, and the rest are their own.
There is still a little bit of Lingmi, and it takes about three months to harvest one crop. But it takes ten years to harvest the magical medicine.
During the ten years, careful care is needed to prevent the elixir from becoming necrotic and from being corroded by spiritual insects.
The elixirs grown have a very low shelf life, and are mainly used to prepare for refining low-level elixirs in the future.
Some families grow elixirs that take decades, hundreds of years, or even thousands of years to mature. It takes a long time and the planting cycle is long, but this is inevitable. Only in this way, with continuous cultivation, can there be sufficient elixir for elixir making.
If it is obtained solely from the wild, it is neither stable nor safe.
It's like when the Lu family was founded a thousand years ago, they began to cultivate chalcedony in large quantities. Purple marrow jade takes three hundred years to mature, but because the Lu family cultivated it early, they would breed it immediately after each harvest.
Achieve sustainable development.
On average, it is picked once every twenty years and the furnace is opened to refine the Foundation Building Pill.
Because the Lu family can be self-sufficient in medicinal materials, the price of the Lu family's Foundation Building Pills has dropped from 15,000 spirit stones to 10,000 spirit stones.
As long as one reaches the ninth level of Qi training before the age of sixty and has enough contribution points, most people can buy the Foundation Establishment Pill.
This policy has caused the number of foundation-building monks in the Lu family to remain at more than twenty. Foundation-building monks appear in every generation, and strong family members emerge in large numbers.
The excess foundation-building pills can also be sold to other monks at high prices.
This is how the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoy the shade.
Forefathers who plant trees may not be able to enjoy welfare benefits, but future generations will certainly be able to enjoy welfare benefits.
Inspired by the deeds of his predecessors, Lu Xuanji also opened an acre of land, scattered the seeds of chalcedony mushrooms in it, and took care of it carefully. If he could live three hundred years, he would wait until the moment the chalcedony mushrooms mature.
Time is passing, calm and peaceful.
Four years later, the aura on Lu Xuanji's body changed again, and he was already at the fourth level of Qi training.
At this time, he was already twenty-two years old.
"I've reached the fourth level of Qi training."
Lu Xuanji walked out of the cave and walked near Ziyang Shang. There were a large number of family disciples cultivating here, opening up spiritual fields and planting spiritual rice.
It's just that most of them are not high in cultivation, they only have three levels of Qi training, and some have four levels of Qi training.
An old man is eighty years old, but because of his five spiritual roots, he is only at the third level of Qi training.
There are many such people in the family.
"The gap between people is wider than the gap between people and dogs."
Lu Xuanji looked at these people and couldn't help but sigh.
Efforts are useless for many times. No matter how hard a person with five spiritual roots works hard and has a strong will, by the time of sitting and transformation, he will be at the fifth level of Qi training at most. Unless he has a little green bottle like Han Paopao. Or, there is a top-notch cave with unlimited elixirs as support.
In the family, there are more than a thousand monks with five spiritual roots.
In the world of cultivation, monks with five spiritual roots account for 80% of the monk population.
The bottom layer is always the most.
Looking at those humble Five Spiritual Root cultivators, Lu Xuanji secretly thought that they were lucky.
Fortunately, I have awakened to the three spiritual roots, which have important cultivation value in the family and are cultivated as foundation-building seeds.
If it is five spirit roots, just give up.
The four spiritual roots are also in a semi-abandoned state.
In the family, when distributing foundation-building pills, the three spiritual roots are given priority, followed by the four spiritual roots.
As for the Five Spiritual Roots, no family is willing to give him the Foundation Building Pill.
After arriving at the medicine garden, I patrolled around and cleaned up the weeds. Then I went to the spiritual field and started weeding, loosening the soil, adding fertilizer, etc. After a busy half day, in the afternoon, I returned to the cave and started practicing.
Suddenly, my head felt dizzy and I couldn't help but fall asleep.
…
Hoo ho ho.
After a long time, Lu Xuanji opened his eyes, but his body was slightly numb, and some acupoints and meridians were sealed, making it impossible to use spells.
Not only that, he was sitting on a chair at the moment with a rope tied around his body.
These ropes can be easily broken open at ordinary times.
But when the acupoints and meridians were sealed, there was no resistance at all.
Looking up, he saw a familiar person.
"Ancestor, why did you bring me here?"
Lu Xuanji asked.
That familiar person was none other than Lu Fuming.
I don't know why this Zi Mansion ancestor tied him here, but he felt uneasy.
"sorry."
At this moment, the ancestor of the Lu family's Zifu had a complicated expression, including ferociousness, fear, uneasiness, and guilt.
Lu Xuanji's unease was increasing.
An ancestor from the eighth level of the Purple Mansion knelt in front of a monk at the fourth level of Qi training and said sorry. It was very strange, and there was fear in the uneasiness.
"Ancestor, what are you going to do?"
Lu Xuanji asked, his tone trembling.
His intuition told him that his ancestor was in danger.
"I failed." The ancestor said: "I was originally a genius. When I was six years old, I was diagnosed with two spiritual roots: wood and fire. Wood is the main one and fire is the supplement..."
"Wait a minute, the ancestor didn't have three spiritual roots, wood, fire and gold? How did he become two spiritual roots?"
Lu Xuanji said puzzledly.
"That's deceiving outsiders."
The ancestor smiled contemptuously and said: "Since the Lu family was established for a thousand years, there are only three Second Spiritual Root monks born. Who would stupidly say that I am a Second Spiritual Root, which will attract the jealousy of outside monks, as well as various calculations and assassinations ."
Lu Xuanji was speechless.
That's right. If you can't hide your genius, you will be beaten to death long ago.
"However, the attributes of spiritual roots can be hidden, but there are some things that cannot be hidden, and that is the speed of cultivation. As long as the attributes of the spiritual roots can be calculated based on the speed of cultivation." The ancestor said: "Back then, I was building the foundation at the age of twenty-three. , I became a cultivator of the Zi Mansion at the age of 100. I am so full of energy that I think I can become the Patriarch of the Golden Pill."
Speaking of moments in the past, the ancestor was very happy and proud.
"Ancestor, I am building a foundation at the age of twenty-three. It is really amazing. But I am much inferior. I am already twenty-two years old, but I have only practiced the fourth level of Qi. I am far inferior to my ancestor." Lu Xuanji said, somewhat envious of the two spirits. root.
The gap between humans is greater than the gap between humans and dogs.
The gap between the second spiritual root and the third spiritual root is wider than the gap between a noble and a beggar.
"Are you envious? I'm not envious at all. On the contrary, I feel extremely regretful." The ancestor said: "I reached the realm of Zifu when I was in my early 100s. I thought I could become the ancestor of the golden elixir and the ancestor of Guangzong. Unfortunately, I was too fast in the early stage and lost it. own potential; and taking too many elixirs leaves more erysipelas in the body, which is difficult to eliminate. The erysipelas precipitates in the body, affecting the speed of cultivation. Entering the realm of Zifu at the age of one hundred, but reaching the age of three hundred and fifty Sui is only on the eighth floor of Zi Mansion."
"If there is a regret medicine in life, I can start my life over again. I will build my own foundation at the age of fifty, enter the Zifu at the age of one hundred and twenty, and attack the golden elixir at the age of three hundred."
