Eternal Life Begins with Bug-Refining

  Chapter 5 Nine Turns

  In the evening, in front of Chen Qing's cave, there was an endless stream of boys who came here to invite.

  In just two hours, I have already received a job for almost a month, and the price has also changed, from one low-grade spirit stone for one mu of land to four low-grade spirit stones for three acres of land.

  Before, I could earn 180 spirit stones a month, but now I can earn 240 spirit stones a month.

   After planning the itinerary, Chen Qing started his own work. During this time, he was not going to go shopping in the Fangshi at the foot of the mountain.

  Wages have risen, and prices have also risen.

   A month passed slowly, and the price hike finally stopped.

  The Lotus Cave has already issued a statement that the two evil cultivators who attacked Wuyou Mountain back then were both disciples who were expelled from the gate by them, and had nothing to do with them.

   "It's a pity, it only lasted for a month. It would be nice if it was longer."

   "But it's okay, my Grass Spirit Gu can be promoted to rank nine immediately, maybe after being promoted to rank nine, I can still earn eight low-grade spirit stones every day."

   Taking forty pieces of low-grade spirit stones, Chen Qing is going to buy some wood and try them out.

  Go to Wanbao Pavilion and ask, Mu Kueru actually costs ten low-grade spirit stones, which is really expensive.

   Strolling out from Wanbao Pavilion, Chen Qing is going to Fangshi to see if there are any monks selling new products outside.

   After shopping around, I finally saw a small piece of wood at a monk's stall.

   "How do you sell this dead wood?"

   "Nine low-grade spirit stones for a penny."

  It is indeed cheaper than Wanbao Pavilion, "I will buy more if it is cheaper."

   "If you buy all of them, eight low-grade spirit stones cost a penny."

  Chen Qing didn't know how much he needed now, and he didn't bother to sell it if he bought too much.

   "Four dollars and thirty-five low-grade spirit stones for sale?"

  The monk was obviously in a hurry, "All right."

  Back home, Chen Qing took out a penny of dried wood and began to feed the Grass Spirit Gu. After eating a penny, it seemed that it was not enough, so Chen Qing took out another penny of dried wood to feed it.

  The next night, when Chen Qing watched it again, the growth progress had changed from zero to 8.

  The depletion of a money tree can increase the growth progress by 4 points.

   "It seems that the wood that still needs two taels of money is exhausted."

  I have enough money now, so I take it all to go shopping in Fangshi.

   Searched around, but couldn't find the cultivator who sold out the wood yesterday, so Chen Qing reluctantly bought one or two at Wanbao Pavilion.

   I have to come here when I have free time recently. The unscrupulous merchants in Wanbao Pavilion are selling too expensive.

   On the way back, when passing by Li He's house, Li He stopped Chen Qing directly, "Chen Daoyou, come and eat!"

  Chen Qing cupped his hands and smiled, "Why, your wine gu has been upgraded?"

  Li He smiled awkwardly, "Although it took me three years of savings to buy more than 20 kinds of materials, it is finally done."

  Chen Qing congratulated: "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, Rank 7 of Wine Gu!"

   Entering the yard, there are some nearby neighbors, and a few disciples of Wuyou Mountain who are familiar with Li He.

   It can be seen that when other people look at Li He, they all have envy in their eyes.

  The promotion of a Gu worm is comparable to the joy of getting promoted after a long life.

  As for Chen Qing, he is not qualified to enjoy this feeling.

  After all, it took him three years to raise the Gu worm from rank six to rank seven. He only raised the Gu worm from rank seven to rank eight last month, and this month he will be promoted to rank nine.

  In order to express his happiness, Li He specially took out a bottle of ginseng wine worth twenty-five spirit stones and shared it with everyone.

   This also shows that after his Gu worm rank seven, he is already able to brew Shenzhi wine.

  Drinking three small cups of ginseng wine, Chen Qing felt the cultivation in his body loosen, so he left and went back to the cave to practice.

  After completely refining the three small cups of ginseng wine, Chen Qing withdrew from the cultivation state.

   "The cultivation base has improved a little bit."

  After drinking this ginseng wine, the speed of practice is more than three times faster than usual.

  It is indeed a good thing, but I can't afford it.

   Don't worry, the grass horse will turn nine immediately, and the money will be made faster at that time.

  Anyway, the promotion materials after rank nine are also known, and one deposit is enough for promotion.

   At that time, save money and buy a wine Gu, and then you can make wine and drink it yourself every day.

  I'm only 21 years old this year, and I'm in the prime of my life, so what's the rush?

  Without the sudden profit of eight spirit stones a day, Chen Qing is also planning to go back to Elder Ling Zhi for a few days.

  In the past few days, he will go to Fangshi every day after he is off duty, because there may be a war recently, and many disciples of the Wuyou Mountain War Hall who went out have returned.

  He was not worried about accidents, wandered around for three days, and finally ran into the monk who was exhausted selling wood again.

  The monk looked even more decadent at this moment, apparently suffered some blow.

  Chen Qing didn't care about that, and said directly: "Ninety spirit stones, one tael and one money tree are exhausted, can you sell them?"

  The decadent monk hesitated again and again, but finally nodded, "Okay, I sold it to you."

  As soon as it was sold out to Chen Qing, the cultivator closed the stall and got up and headed towards the Wanbao Pavilion, muttering, "I will buy another eighty spirit stones, the last eighty spirit stones!"

   Well, another one got stuck.

  Chen Qing is not interested in learning more, he is now focused on his grass treasures.

   After counting, in six days, Caobao will be able to rank nine, and I don't know what special changes will happen after the ninth rank.

   "I heard from those senior brothers that the rank nine Gu worms will have a relatively large improvement."

   "It's better to increase the range."

  After feeding for six days, the grass spirit Gu finally hardened again, turning into a jasper-like bug.

   After waiting for almost two hours, the worm shell broke open, and a grass spirit Gu that was only a circle bigger got out from inside.

  Chen Qing stared at the brand new Grass Spirit Gu, the information has changed:

  【Fantastic Grass Spirit Gu】

  Quality: Nine turns

  Life: 42/86

  Effect: Take care of Gu Ling grass within eight acres of land and improve growth speed and quality

   Growth requirements: None

  Growth: 100/100 (to be promoted)

  Promotion requirements: rank nine, ten drops of the earth mother's liquid, and one flower of seizing the spirit

  The scope has been increased from six acres to eight acres!

   Okay, okay, great!

  I can earn eight low-grade spirit stones a day, and I finally started to get rich.

   But the matter of promotion, don't even think about it for now.

   Not to mention the Spirit-removing Flower, which costs about 800 low-grade spirit stones, but the earth mother nectar requires nearly 100 low-grade spirit stones per drop.

  Chen Qing estimated that it would take one or two thousand spirit stones to get it done.

  For the time being, don’t think about promotion, just save money slowly.

   Fortunately, now you can earn eight low-grade spirit stones every day.

  Two months passed slowly. During this time, the entire sect was relatively calm, and there were no disturbances, and everyone lived in peace.

  Back home, Chen Qing carefully counted the four hundred spirit stones that had been saved recently, and began to imagine what it would be like after her grass treasure was promoted.

   While feeding Caobao, Chen Qing stared at Caobao's message, feeling happy.

   Well, it's still so pleasing to the eye.

  Uh, wait a minute!

  Why did the necessary earth mother spirit liquid turn into nine drops!

What's happening here?

   Could it be that I have raised it well recently, and its requirements have become lower?

   Or is it that in the field that was taken care of today, there was the elixir of the mother earth, which was swallowed by this little guy by chance?

   Now, a drop of Earth Mother Spiritual Liquid costs 80 spirit stones!

   It took me half a month to earn so much money!

  Tomorrow, I will find an excuse to go shopping again.
