Longevity: Starting from the Talent of Infant Growth

The excitement in the Zhou family lasted for several days, and people came to visit every day, both familiar and unknown.

Some came to visit to establish friendship, some came to propose marriage to Zhou Ling, and some asked Li Ru how to raise children under the guise of buying spiritual wine...

Li Ru was still full of joy at first and received them one by one. However, too many people came every day, which seriously affected the efficiency of wine making, causing the winery's business to be unable to keep up.

Li Ru gradually became troubled and could only go to the wine shop early in the morning and no longer receive visitors.

Zhou Ling also went to Maple Leaf Mountain early in the morning to practice. After another seven or eight days, the Zhou family gradually returned to peace.

This morning, the breeze was blowing and the air was fresh.

A sudden heavy rain last night swept away the sweltering heat of Lingxia Fairy City these days.

There is still a lot of water on the streets.

Zhou Ling walked briskly and arrived at the entrance of Tiangong Division early in the morning.

Zhou Lingjiao arrived at the miscellaneous office in the side hall with ease and saw Deacon Qin standing there waiting for him with a warm smile on his face.

He walked over, bowed his hands, and said, "Meet the deacon."

Deacon Qin stopped and said in a gentle voice, "No need to be so polite. Sit down and talk."

After Zhou Ling sat down at the side, an assistant served him spiritual tea.

Deacon Qin also took a sip of the spiritual tea, then took out an exquisite jade box from the storage ring and said with a smile, "Brother Ling, this is your reward for ranking first in this assessment!"

"Thank you, Butler!"

After taking the jade box, Zhou Ling thanked him with a smile on his face.

This is the reward for the leader of this fighting competition!

Zhou Ling had some expectations in his heart.

But he didn't rush to open the jade box. After all, he still wanted to leave a calm impression on Deacon Qin.

"In addition to the rewards in the jade box, the other is the Taoist foundation building seed quota."

"This is also extremely rare, especially in your current situation."

Deacon Qin said with a slightly concerned tone.

Taking a sip of the spiritual tea, he continued, "Although your spiritual root qualifications are not outstanding, you are very talented in understanding and cultivation. You are a very good disciple I have met over the years."

"However, for monks, spiritual root qualifications are an extremely important part."

"This is about future success."

"Moreover, you are still practicing the Five Elements Attribute Skills. When the time comes to build the foundation, you will need more auxiliary spiritual objects, so you need to be more prepared after entering the Taoist Academy."

"Thank you for the reminder, deacon!" Zhou Ling cupped his hands and thanked him.

The master also said that if the "Five Elements Qianyang True Secret" can collect five kinds of spiritual flames with different attributes in the future, then he can build a foundation by himself, and it is even possible to build a heavenly grade foundation.

But it's very difficult.

Fortunately, I already have beast flames and green lotus spirit flames in my hands. The other three attribute spirit flames can only be found slowly.

After all, spiritual beings like spirit flames from heaven and earth are hard to come by.

Sometimes it also depends on luck!

Moreover, he has just entered the seventh level of Qi training. It will take two or three years at the fastest to reach the ninth level of Qi training.

"In addition, the Lu Inspector has promised to give you the recommended quota for the first-class professional title of the Tiangong Department."

"There will be an assessment opportunity in October, you should seize it."

"There are not many opportunities like this. If you miss it once, it will be very difficult to get it again in the future!"

"And it involves the first-grade professional title assessment, which is no less difficult than the second-grade inscription."

"As for the refining of the second-grade imprint, it not only requires sufficient spiritual power, but also requires the power of the divine soul to assist in tempering."

"Before you go to Xuanyuan Taoist Academy to register, if you don't understand anything about imprints, you can come and ask me!"

After Deacon Qin finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Zhou Ling also thanked Deacon Qin again and took the opportunity to ask Deacon Qin some questions about imprinting.

Although there are talent aids such as [The more frustrated you are, the more courage you get] and [Intermediate Analysis], the inscriptions and imprints are cumbersome and complicated, involving various inscriptions and imprints with different attributes.

Materials, spiritual ink development, drawing techniques, imprint compounding and many other factors.

Even if he could successfully draw the imprint, there were still many things that he didn't fully understand.

Therefore, there are many doubts accumulated in my mind.

Not everyone in Lingxia Immortal City has such an opportunity to be guided by a senior second-grade inscription master like Deacon Qin.

In other words, after more than half a year, I have left a good impression on Deacon Qin, plus I have a good relationship with He Zijian. If it were anyone else, Deacon Qin would not be able to take care of so much!

After adding the spiritual tea in the tea cup twice, Zhou Ling still had many questions, but other people came to visit from time to time.

Deacon Qin could only ask Zhou Ling to go back first and ask questions later when he had time.

After Zhou Ling cupped his hands and thanked him, he left the chore hall.

With the blessing of talent, these problems that trouble him are often solved in one point, and do not require too much explanation from Deacon Qin.

After leaving the Tiangong Division Miscellaneous Hall, Zhou Ling returned home.

Along the way, people he met and people he didn't know greeted him with a smile.

Zhou Ling also politely returned the favor one by one.

His parents had already gone to the wine shop. After Zhou Ling took a sip of water, he took out the rewarded crystal jade box.

After opening it, I saw a finely crafted spiritual pen inside the jade box. The barrel of the pen was made of crystal jade, and the tip of the pen was made of tough yet soft hair.

"A second-level low-grade spiritual pen."

Zhou Ling's eyes lit up.

The spiritual pen he is using now is a top-grade first-grade one, which is sufficient for the time being.

However, if you want to refine the second-level imprint in the future, this magic pen can be used just right.

There is also a bottle of first-grade high-grade Heqi pill and three shiny spiritual stones.

The spiritual energy contained in these three spiritual stones is far richer and more pure than the lower-grade spiritual stones.

"This should be a middle-grade spiritual stone!"

Taking out the middle grade spirit stone, Zhou Ling looked happy.

The reward for this leader is indeed generous.

A second-level low-grade spiritual pen is worth hundreds of spiritual stones.

A bottle of first-grade, top-grade, one-dan pattern Heqi pills, with three pills in it, would cost two or three hundred spirit stones.

This time's reward, calculated, will be close to four thousand low-grade spiritual stones.

This is a huge profit.

You know, for ordinary Qi training and casual cultivation, you can earn ten low-grade spiritual stones a month, which is already considered good.

After putting away the spirit stone, Zhou Ling was in a good mood.

Now that he has three middle-grade spiritual stones, plus more than three hundred low-grade spiritual stones, he can prepare to change to a more spacious house with more spiritual energy.

Afterwards, I packed my things and headed to Maple Leaf Mountain.

In the evening, when I got home, my mother had prepared four dishes and one soup. Spiritual animal meat, steamed spiritual fish meat, stewed chicken soup, etc. were all spiritual foods.

"Hey, it's true that Aunt Chu comes here to kiss Ling'er every day!"

"I clearly refused, and she even said that she would bring the girl over to show her!"

Li Ru took off his waist apron and shook his head helplessly.

Zhou Shan also smiled and said, "They also have good intentions!"

"Father, mother, these are the three mid-grade spiritual stones and Heqi Pills that I received as rewards from the leader this time!"

What Zhou Ling was most afraid of was talking about a kiss, so he hurriedly interrupted the conversation between the two of them, took out the jade box, and smiled to his parents.

"Mid-grade spiritual stone!"

Looking at the dazzling spiritual stone in the jade box, which was a bit brighter than the crystal lamp, Li Ru and his wife looked surprised.

"Father, mother, now that our family has a spiritual stone, I wonder if we should move to a place near the Taoist temple where spiritual energy is more abundant."

Zhou Ling spoke up.

"Ling'er, our house has enough aura now, and the wine shop is still doing business for the neighbors. It's not very suitable to move out now!"

Li Ru took out the middle-grade spirit stone, looked at it carefully for a while, put it back, thought about it and told Zhou Ling.

Seeing that his parents seemed unwilling to leave here, Zhou Ling couldn't say anything.

Nowadays, the wine shop can earn a lot of spiritual stones every month just from the business of He Family Restaurant.

Neighbors buy basically ordinary spiritual wine, and they don't make much money.

But Zhou Ling still respected his parents' decision and didn't say anything more.

I ate a big mouthful of rice and a big chicken drumstick.

"Ling'er, now you are in the late stage of Qi training, and you will go to Qingyun Immortal City in the next month."

"It is said that the spiritual energy there is much richer than that of Lingxia Fairy City, and the prices are also higher. You can keep these middle-grade spiritual stones and Heqi Pills. It will definitely cost a lot to get to the Taoist Temple!"

Li Ru closed the jade box and smiled to Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling thought for a while, took out the elixir bottle, handed it to his mother, and said with a smile, "Mom, you take this elixir, I will keep the spirit stone."

Nowadays, the business of the wine shop is pretty good, and the spiritual stones earned are enough for my parents' daily cultivation expenses.

Keep this middle-grade spiritual stone for yourself, it will be useful in the future!

Li Ru wanted to say something else, but seeing that his son had already stuffed the elixir bottle into his hand, he didn't say much.

Then the whole family ate happily.

Bang bang bang!

"Brother Zhou, open the door quickly, Xu Jiu is injured!"

Just after eating, there was a rapid knock on the door outside.

When Zhou Ling heard it, he realized it was Chu Xing's voice.

Hearing this, Zhou Shan hurriedly walked out of the hall without shoes and opened the door for Chu Xing.

Zhou Ling also got up and followed him out.

Li Ru, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, also came out.

"Brother Chu, what's wrong?"

Zhou Shan asked hurriedly after opening the door.

Zhou Ling saw that under the cover of night, illuminated by the faint light of the red lantern at the door, Chu Xing's robe had many signs of tears.

There was still some dried blood on the cheek.

"We said it inside!"

Chu Xing glanced at the street, then hurried in and closed the door.

Seeing Chu Xing's actions, Zhou Shan's family couldn't help but be startled. Wasn't it said that Xu Jiu was injured?

After entering the main room, Zhou Shan hurriedly poured a bowl of wine for Chu Xing.

Chu Xing took a big sip directly.

"Brother Chu, what's wrong with Lao Jiu?"

Zhou Shan asked hurriedly, his expression full of concern.

Although it has been a while since we went into the mountains, the life-and-death friendship formed by the people on the medicine search team will not change.

Chu Xing exhaled, looked solemn, and lowered his voice, "Today, when Lao Jiu and I were looking for elixirs in the south of Heixia Mountain, we accidentally discovered a small spiritual mine in a valley."

"We are also very excited. With this spiritual mine, life will be easier for our brothers from now on!"

"But who knew that I would meet several Li family monks soon after leaving the valley."

"Li Mu even attacked us directly. We were short of manpower and could only flee in a hurry."

"Fortunately, I was familiar with the terrain and finally escaped their pursuit."

"However, Xu Jiu was still hit by Li Mu's black evil fist. Now he is poisoned and the situation is not optimistic."

Hearing this, Zhou Shan frowned, "It's actually the Li family!"

Zhou Ling turned his eyes and asked, "Uncle Chu, did the Li family also discover the spirit mine? That's why they attacked you."

I have studied basic theoretical knowledge in the Taoist Academy for many years, which also involves spiritual minerals.

Spiritual minerals are crystal stones that are condensed into solidified spiritual energy.

After mining and processing, these crystals can become the spiritual stones circulating in the market today.

Even if it is just a very small first-level ore vein, the spiritual stones it contains are definitely considerable.

Zhou Ling thought that Xu Jiu and others had said a while ago that the Li family cultivators often appeared in the mountains these days, perhaps to find this spiritual mine?

A small spiritual mine, even if it is two foundation-building families, will fight.

Obtaining a spiritual mine is enough to greatly increase the family's foundation.

What's more, Xu Jiu and Chu Xing are just casual cultivators.

Chu Xing thought for a while and shook his head, "They don't seem to have found the location of the spiritual mine yet, and they didn't mention the spiritual mine in their words."

"They only dared to attack us because they saw that Xu Jiu and I were alone!"

"Brother Ling, this time I have to trouble you to find Doctor Wang."

"Uncle Chu, Uncle Xu was only injured by the Black Evil Fist!" Zhou Ling turned his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

If it's not for the spiritual mine, then the Li family deliberately dealt with the medicine-seeking team.

Maybe their purpose is to deal with me.

Zhou Ling thought quickly in his heart.

After all, in this assessment, he directly destroyed Li Yinfeng, the pride of the Li family, who had a blood spirit vein!

I think they can't easily swallow this breath.

However, he had fought against the Black Evil Fist many times in the [Illusion Simulation], and he had already known the evil poison contained in the Black Evil Fist.

As long as these evil poisons have not invaded the sea of ​​qi and the heart vein, he can burn them with the help of spiritual flames.

But once they enter the sea of ​​qi or the heart vein, it will be dangerous.

Chu Xing nodded.

Zhou Ling immediately said, "Mom, you go find Aunt Wang, I will go to see Uncle Xu with Uncle Chu first."

"Okay, I'll go now!" Li Ru nodded hurriedly.

Then he hurried out.

As Zhou Ling won the first place in the assessment of the four academies, no one treated him as a child now.

In addition, he was calm and steady, and the three adults subconsciously followed his arrangements at this time.

Then, Zhou Ling and his son and Chu Xing went to Xu Jiu's house not far away.

The layout of Xu Jiu's house is similar to Zhou Ling's, but it is a little smaller.

The faint light of the candle flickered,

Xu Jiu, who was seriously injured and unconscious, was lying in the main hall.

Aunt Xu's face was full of tears, and she wiped the blood from the corner of Xu Jiu's mouth with a clean rag.

The two children, who were only four or five years old, stood beside their mother sensibly and did not speak.

"Brother Chu, Brother Zhou, what should we do?"

Seeing Chu Xing and the others come in, Aunt Xu couldn't help sobbing anymore.

"Doctor Wang will be here soon, nothing will happen!"

Chu Xing said in a deep voice.

Aunt Xu nodded with a sob.

"Aunt, let me take a look!"

Zhou Ling walked to Xu Jiu and held his hand.

"Brother Ling, what are you doing?" Aunt Xu asked.

"I practice the fire attribute technique, which has a restraining effect on the evil poison of this black evil fist."

"I want to use my spiritual power to help Uncle Xu remove the evil poison in his body, and it is estimated that it will have some effect."

Zhou Ling explained.

I felt a chill coming from Xu Jiu's hand.

You know, it's June now, the hottest time of the year in Lingxia Fairy City.

"Will this work?" Aunt Xu asked, wiping away the tears from her eyes.

"We can only try it first, at least it can suppress the spread of the evil poison!"

Zhou Ling didn't dare to say too much.

After all, although he could control the spiritual flame, it would be difficult if Xu Jiu's meridians couldn't withstand the heat of the spiritual flame.

"Then I'll trouble Brother Ling!" Aunt Xu nodded.

Now Zhou Ling has a high status among the neighbors, and people trust him.

Zhou Ling nodded, then circulated the Qinglian spiritual flame, and condensed a faint blue spiritual flame on the palm of his hand.

Then, controlling the spiritual flame, he carefully injected it into Xu Jiu's meridians along his arm.

During this process, Zhou Ling also circulated the wood attribute spiritual energy in his body to protect Xu Jiu's meridians.

[You are controlling the Azure Lotus Spirit Flame, meticulousness +1, Azure Lotus Spirit Flame control proficiency +1]

[Growth talent, Spirit Flame cultivation: With the help of Spirit Flame, you can warm the meridians, heal wounds and remove toxins, and speed up the recovery of spiritual energy. Achievement requirements: Perform meridian warming ten times. ]

At this time, a prompt appeared on the panel.

Zhou Ling concentrated on controlling the Spirit Flame and did not pay attention to the panel.

As the Spirit Flame slowly flowed through a meridian cycle in Xu Jiu's body.

Zhou Ling exhaled.

Then he took the Spirit Flame back into his body.

At this time, Xu Jiu's originally cold skin gradually turned red, and a trace of black air seeped out. The solidified spiritual power in his body also gradually flowed. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Wake up!"

"Brother Ling is really amazing!"

Chu Xing praised with a happy face.

"Me!"

As soon as Xu Jiu spoke, he screamed, spurted out a mouthful of black blood, and then fainted again.

"Dad!"

"Dad!"

Aunt Xu and the two children were also directly scared and cried.

Zhou Ling was also shocked. There was no problem with the detoxification process just now.

And he was worried about damaging his meridians, so he used the wood attribute spiritual energy to cover the Qinglian Lingyan.

With the strength of Xu Jiu's meridians at the seventh level of Qi training, there should be no damage.

He was a little at a loss for a moment!

Fortunately, at this time, footsteps were heard outside.

Li Ru hurriedly walked in with Wang Yu.

"Doctor Wang!"

"Auntie Wang!"

Everyone greeted Wang Yu.

Wang Yu nodded, then stepped forward and briefly checked Xu Jiu's meridians. After a moment, he said with a smile, "Most of the evil poison in the body has been removed. There is not much danger!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Wang Yu wrote another prescription and said to Aunt Xu, "This is a prescription to nourish the meridians and remove evil toxins. You can go to the medicine hall to buy it tomorrow and take it for ten days. You should be fine!"

"Thank you, Doctor Wang!"

Aunt Xu took the prescription and hurriedly thanked Wang Yu.

"I still have to thank Brother Ling for removing the poison, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to deal with!"

Wang Yu smiled.

With her medical skills, she could naturally tell Xu Jiu's condition at a glance.

What's more, there is still the aura of spiritual flames in Xu Jiu's meridians.

And the only one with the Qinglian Spirit Flame is Zhou Ling.

"Thank you, Brother Ling!"

Aunt Xu also thanked Zhou Ling.

"Aunt Xu, you're welcome!"

Zhou Ling replied.

Then he asked Wang Yu, "Aunt Wang, will it be more effective if my spirit flame helps Uncle Xu remove the poison?"

"No need, his body has stabilized and there is not much residual evil poison. As long as he takes medicine, it can be completely removed."

"If you use spiritual flames, although the effect is much better, it will easily cause damage to the meridians!"

Wang Yu shook his head and said.

Zhou Ling nodded.

Zhou Shan then carried the unconscious Xu Jiu into the back room.

Everyone then said goodbye to Aunt Xu and left the Xu family.

Wang Yu also said goodbye and went back.

Chu Xingze followed Zhou Shan and others to the Chu family.

His expression became much more relaxed.

"Brother Chu, what do you want to do about this matter?"

After pouring a bowl of spiritual wine for Chu Xing, Zhou Shan said angrily.

No wonder he was angry. If he hadn't been treated in time this time, Xu Jiu's life would have been sealed!

"Of course it's impossible to just let it go."

"But there are two monks in the Li family who are in the early stage of foundation building, and Li Mu is still at the ninth level of Qi training."

"With the current strength of our medicine-seeking team, we are definitely no match for them, so we need to plan this matter carefully!"

Chu Xing said solemnly.

Then, he took another sip of spiritual wine, looked at Zhou Ling, and asked, "Brother Ling, what do you want to do about this matter?"

Now in his heart, he also recognized Zhou Ling.

In his opinion, now that Zhou Ling is a Tiangong Guard and has entered the Taoist Academy, his future achievements will definitely be far above them.

Zhou Ling thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "The Li family monks went into the mountain mostly for this spiritual mine. No matter what, we naturally cannot let them find the spiritual mine."

"In this situation, it depends on whether we have the strength to occupy the spiritual mine!"

Hearing this, Chu Xing frowned and said, "With our current strength, even if we occupy the spiritual mine, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it."

"How about cooperating with other drug-hunting teams?" Zhou Shan said.

In his opinion, the first priority now is to prevent the Li family from discovering the spiritual mine.

Chu Xing shook his head directly, "The other medicine-seeking teams cannot be of the same mind as us, and they will not work with us to deal with the Li family!"

Zhou Ling also scratched his head and started thinking.

There are now seven casual cultivators in the medicine-seeking team, among whom Chu Xing is at the ninth level of Qi training, the others are at the late stage of his father's physical training, Xu Jiu is at the seventh level of Qi training, and Liu Shi is at the seventh level of Qi training. The others are in the middle stage of Qi training.

With this strength, there is no chance of winning against the Li family.

"Why don't we discuss it with He Zijian!"

At this time, Li Ru took the wine jar and poured wine for Chu Xing and Zhou Shan. Seeing the solemn expressions of the three of them, he couldn't help but say something.

"Uncle Chu, do you think it's feasible to cooperate with He Zijian?"

Zhou Ling also said aloud.

Of course, he was talking about He Zijian, not the He family, so naturally he had his own concerns.

Based on his understanding of He Zijian, he would probably help with this matter.

But he didn't understand the He family.

Moreover, the relationship between the aristocratic families is complicated. It turns out that the spirit wine of the He family's Four Seasons Building was supplied by the Li family.

It proves that the relationship between the two families is still good.

Once these aristocratic families are involved, the matter will end up being the same as last time. At most, they will just apologize and let it go.

But now, Zhou Ling definitely doesn't want such a result.

This time Li Mu attacked Chu Xing and the others, obviously intending to kill them.

If you meet your own family, it will be equally inevitable.

Moreover, he is going to Xuanyuan Taoist Temple in September, and his parents are obviously extremely unsafe in Lingxia Fairy City.

Therefore, he is absolutely unwilling to take this kind of risk.

Moreover, the most important thing is that if he destroys Li Yinfeng, they will definitely take revenge.

How could he just sit back and wait for death?

Now that the Li family has gone into the mountains to look for spiritual mines, this is also their opportunity.

"He Zijian!"

Chu Xing murmured.

Then he nodded decisively and said, "No matter who it is, as long as he can help us deal with the Li family and avenge Lao Jiu, it doesn't matter even if we don't want this spiritual mine!"

"Okay, with Uncle Chu's words, my nephew will feel relieved. I will discuss it with He Zijian tomorrow!"

Zhou Ling said seriously.

The three of them then continued to discuss the situation in the mountains and the spiritual mine.
