Luo Zilan's voice suddenly appeared,
"Are you upset? There is a problem with the preservation of the collected elixirs, but you are reluctant to sell them."
Su Qing nodded, "Yes, Ancestor, how did you preserve the spiritual energy of the herbs from being lost?"
"That's a lot. At that time, there were storage tools and portable medicine gardens. The most common ones were jade boxes. The better the jade quality, the better the preservation effect."
Su Qing frowned, "I can only live at home for more than two months. It's a waste to buy a jade box. I don't know how much a jade box costs. It's troublesome to move it around."
"Then step up your practice. As long as you enter the foundation building stage, the soul can carve a mark on the jade pendant, and you can open the space of the jade pendant and use the things inside. I have prepared a lot of resources, enough for you to practice until you transform. Divine period."
"Ancestor, you put it simply, I am only in the middle stage of Qi refining, and it is still early for me to reach the foundation building stage!"
After Luo Zilan was silent for a while, she slowly said:
"Qingqing, your talent is astonishing. I don't let you meditate and practice all the time because I'm afraid that your cultivation will grow too fast and problems will arise because you are too young and cannot keep up.
You never expected that even if you only practice one week a day, you will reach the middle stage of Qi refining in just a few years. You have to know that normal monks can enter the foundation building stage in ten or twenty years, and they are already extremely talented. They all do it every day. I practice meditation and stay in seclusion for several years.
If you practice in seclusion like them, it is now possible to reach the Golden Core stage, so it is not difficult to enter the foundation building stage in one month. The difficult thing is, as your skills increase and become stronger, can you still control your state of mind? So as not to go astray"
Luo Zilan was very happy to have a successor with amazing talent. She always considered the long term for her. She didn't want her cultivation to grow too fast and her understanding of the way of heaven to be insufficient. After reaching a high level of cultivation, she could no longer make any progress. She kept asking Su Qing to polish the foundation.
"Ancestor, what you mean is that as long as I don't sleep at night and keep practicing, and run for a few more weeks, I will soon enter the foundation building stage. But you are worried that my understanding of cultivation is insufficient and my state is unstable, right? "
"Yeah! That's what it means. In our time, we had never seen a ten-year-old foundation-building monk, and the minimum was in his twenties. Your talent sometimes makes me feel scary. Originally, I planned to wait until you grow up. The more you experience in life, the better you can control your emotions, and your deeper understanding of the way of heaven and the laws of the universe, you can speed up your practice.
You have been mature and calm since childhood. You rarely do radical behavior and mostly act before planning. Your state of mind is much higher than that of ordinary people.
Today in Snake Valley, it's a pity to give up when you encounter something good. If you have a higher level of cultivation, you can crush that snow dragon and gain a lot. "
Su Qing was a little surprised, "Ah!! Can I be that powerful?"
"When you were young, I didn't let you go into the mountains to practice. But as a monk, who hasn't come from the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, fighting with all kinds of monsters and beasts, fighting with people, and gaining training in various secret realms and dangerous places? You need the resources to continuously improve your cultivation. Only by constantly practicing between life and death can a monk become stronger. Your life is too peaceful and lacks training."
Luo Zilan said with a guilty conscience. Those people were all from bad backgrounds and had worked their way up from the bottom to become monks. She was from a noble family and was an alchemist, so she didn't have to venture into those dangerous places.
Su Qing asked a little doubtfully: "Really? Ancestor, you can't rely on me to live a peaceful life. Today is a peaceful era and there is no chance for experience."
She didn't believe that her ancestor, who came from a big family, would personally fight for resources with a group of young monks. If she needed any resources, she would just give the order and someone would send them directly to her.
Luo Zilan said: "You are wrong. As long as there are living things in the universe, there is no such thing as peace. The essence of living things is the survival of the fittest by the weak and the strong. Human beings are constantly making progress in the struggle. Peace is just a dream of the moon and stars. Looking at the entire empire , the game of life and death is happening every day in every corner of the universe."
Su Qing said nonchalantly: "Ancestor, those things are still far away from me. They have nothing to do with me now. I just need to study hard."
Luo Zilan thought to herself, why doesn't this child understand what she means? You let Meng Hang's stupid bird fly first every day, and then you become lazy when you put it on yourself. How can you have double standards?
"What does it mean? It doesn't matter. Time is like running water, passing by in the blink of an eye. So I have to rearrange your homework schedule, and also add some experience in the mountains. I will use the monsters in the mountains. Those you call strange beasts will be your opponents. You can't wait until the end. , I am anxious to think of a solution, otherwise it will be too late.”
Su Qing opened his mouth. The ancestor was serious about risking himself to deal with the snow dragon. Although he had long wanted to go for a walk in the mountains, there was a difference between voluntarily and being forced.
Moreover, monsters and strange beasts are also different. Jiaolong, the descendant of the legendary dragon, is so powerful. Not sure who will crush whom?
"So, Qingqing, you have to practice hard, and Meng Hang, the weapons, magic weapons, and jade pendants you need are all there!"
"Qingqing, what are you thinking of, asking you to remain silent? Are the rice scraps ready?"
Zhu Xiuyun packed up the big rooster and came in. He saw Qingqing sitting in front of the stove in a daze and called her twice.
"Ah, let me take a look. It's OK. I can just fish it out."
Su Qing found a basin and took out the big rice residue from the pot, cleaned the pot, and prepared to stew the chicken.
Zhu Xiuyun chopped the whole chicken into small pieces and washed it with clean water.
Su Qing put oil in the pot, stir-fry the seasonings, add the chicken pieces, add onions, ginger, soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, and salt, continue to stir-fry, add water, cover the pot, and simmer for a while.
Zhu Xiuyun had already peeled the yam, cut it into small pieces, opened the pot, poured it into the chicken, mixed it twice, and stewed it together.
The cooking time is short, and the chicken stew is not that particular. Su Qing omitted several steps. Anyway, it is delicious no matter how it is made with natural ingredients.
It was already past 12 o'clock. After dinner, she and Meng Hang had to practice and then start studying. The schedule was very tight.
Soon a strong aroma wafted from the kitchen, and Zhu Xiuyun specifically asked:
"Qingqing, is it really okay to eat these unpurified foods?"
"It's okay. I have purified the yams that Auntie and Meng Hang brought back. Only the pheasants have not been processed. There shouldn't be a big problem. After all, most people in the village will have diarrhea after eating them. As long as they don't eat a lot at one time, there will definitely be no problem. As a The psychic master still lacks energy, the more he eats, the better."
When Zhu Xiuyun heard what she said, she felt relieved. There were indeed greedy people in the village who couldn't stand it and were reluctant to spend money to purify it. It was okay to just eat it.
After the soup in the pot gradually dries up, the chicken is also cooked, and a large basin comes out.
After bringing it to the dining table, the grandfather and grandson began to eat.
Su Qing picked up the chicken and yam and ate them in her mouth, woo woo! ! It's really delicious. It's a natural food. The yam has grown for many years and is nourished by spiritual energy, so it's even more delicious.
At today's lunch table, the Meng family and Uncle Su's family all had chicken stewed with yam.
Although people have different tastes due to different craftsmanship, everyone is still conquered by the delicious taste of yam. Regardless of whether it will cause diarrhea, they eat it first.
Luo Cuilan didn't want to eat all the pheasants and rabbits that Meng Hang brought home, but Meng Hang said she was greedy and wanted to eat meat. He was in good health and was not afraid of food allergies.
In fact, since Meng Hang practiced the Nine Transformations Mysterious Technique, he has been able to absorb both supernatural powers and spiritual energy.
Mrs. Meng felt sorry for her grandson, and thought that Zhu Xiuyun had to spend money on everything to buy so much meat for Qingqing. If her grandson wanted to eat stewed pheasant, it was okay, so he stewed it all for a meal.
When Meng Lin and his wife come back, let them pick up two pheasants and rabbits, skin them, pluck them, cut them into pieces, add yams and stew them in a pot.
