Start from the Martial Arts

One month later.

Southeast of Zhou Kingdom.

Fertile plains.

Fang Xiu and Su Lingyun rushed outside Tianlong Valley to the west of Bibo Lake.

"I have been growing blood tooth rice here for six years."

Fang Xiu pointed to the valley ahead.

Su Lingyun curiously looked at the valley in front of her, and she felt the presence of second-order spiritual veins nearby.

"Someone is coming."

A middle-aged man in a green robe flew over.

He was the patrolling cultivator of the Lin family. When he saw Fang Xiu and Su Lingyun staying outside the ancestral land, he stepped forward to check.

"You two fellow Taoists are very polite. I am Lin Youde. I wonder why these two fellow Taoists are staying here?"

The lean middle-aged man with a short beard bowed his hands and looked at Fang Xiu.

He felt powerful mana fluctuations from Fang Xiu that exceeded those in the later stages of general Qi refining.

"I've met two fellow Taoists." Fang Xiu returned the greeting with a smile.

"Xiu below, I once planted blood-toothed rice in the Lin family. I am an old friend of Lin Shaoyu from the Lin family. I came here this time to ask to see the clan leader, and I also asked two fellow Taoists to pass the news on my behalf."

"Shao Yu's old friend? Fang Xiu...:" Lin Youde was thoughtful and seemed to have some impression.

"Fellow Taoist seems to have received awards from the clan leader and Master Gongyang for his meritorious service in planting blood-toothed rice. I remember that this seems to be the case."

Lin Youde reacted.

"I didn't expect fellow Taoist to still remember me." Fang Xiu nodded.

"Fellow Taoist is a good hand at planting spiritual fields! Since you left the Lin family, no one has been able to grow plump blood-toothed rice like you. The clan leader has mentioned it to me several times."

Lin Youde praised.

"Fellow Taoist, that's ridiculous." Fang Xiu smiled.

"I wonder who this fellow Taoist is..." Lin Youde turned to look at the beautiful young woman next to Fang Xiu.

"This is my junior sister from the secular world, who is with me." Fang Xiu explained.

"I am Su Lingyun, I have met fellow Taoist Lin." Su Lingyun bowed slightly.

"Fellow Taoist, you are so lucky!" Lin Youde smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist, please follow me into the valley, and I will take you to see the clan leader."

"Thank you."

Lin Youde took the two of them into Zhuangzi in the center of the valley and met the clan leader Lin Cunzhi.

Lin Cunzhi looks the same as before. He is still wearing a green robe. He looks to be in his early forties, with a fair face, elegant and easy-going.

"Fellow Daoist Fang?!"

When Lin Cunzhi saw Fang Xiu, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"It's been such a long time."

"I've met the clan leader." Fang Xiu bowed his hands and introduced Su Lingyun to Lin Cunzhi.

Lin Cunzhi felt the fluctuation of Fang Xiu's mana and entered the level of Qi Refining Perfection, and his smile became more and more enthusiastic.

Especially since he has a family to take care of, he probably won't leave the Lin family easily.

"I wonder how many years Daoist Fang will be renting this time? The previous spiritual field is still vacant!"

Lin Cunzhi asked with a smile.

After Fang Xiu left, many casual cultivators rushed to rent the spiritual fields on the edge of the cliff. As a result, they did not get a good harvest. On the contrary, because the spiritual fields were too large, planting became more tiring.

This made Lin Cunzhi even more convinced that Fang Xiu's ability to harvest a good harvest was not a matter of the quality of the spiritual field, but a matter of people.

It would be a pity not to stay in the Lin family and farm.

"I want to rent it for three years and plant blood-toothed rice directly. Is that possible?" Fang Xiu said seriously.

"This...of course it's okay."

Lin Cunzhi felt slightly comfortable and agreed happily.

"Thank you, clan leader. Then I'll rent the spiritual field on the edge of the cliff. I'm used to living there." Fang Xiu greeted with a smile.

"no problem."

Lin Cunzhi took out the contract on the spot and signed a three-year lease agreement with Fang Xiu.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Fang, I still have a letter here that was sent from Yin Yang Pavilion two years ago, and you were mentioned in the letter."

After Lin Cunzhi put away the contract, he took out two letters from the storage bag.

One has been opened and one has not.

The unsealed letter was written by Lin Shaoyu to Lin Cunzhi. It mentioned Fang Xiu and invited him to a gathering at Jiuxian Tower in Anshan Prefecture. Yu Yongwei and Mu Qingxuan would both go there.

As for the other unopened letter, it was written by Yu Yongwei to Fang Xiu.

It mentioned that she had broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and her master gave her a piece of second-level low-grade green vine wood. She wanted to trade with Fang Xiu and asked him if he wanted it.

After reading the letter, Fang Xiu expressed his gratitude to Lin Cunzhi.

Even after the others had been gone for so long, Lin Cunzhi still kept the letters without opening them and peeking at them. He was really particular about it.

"Please send these two letters to Yin Yang Pavilion."

Fang Xiu wrote two replies on the spot, one to Lin Shaoyu and one to Yu Yongwei.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Fang, I will definitely arrange for my clansmen to deliver it." Lin Cunzhi took the letter.

"You two Taoists have been working hard all the way. Let's go to the other courtyard to rest for a few days. I will prepare the blood-toothed rice seedlings for you as soon as possible."

Lin Cunzhi called his attendants.

"Then I'll trouble you, Fellow Daoist Lin.'

Fang Xiu and Su Lingyun followed the attendants out of the front hall of the villa and headed to the other courtyard.

After the two left, Lin Cunzhi talked to the empty living room.

"Uncle Six, your guess is really accurate..."

At this time, an old man shrouded in black robes appeared like a shadow.

"I just said this person will come back. Building a foundation is not that easy!" The old man in black robe snorted.

"Uncle Six, Fang Xiu seemed to have discovered you just now..." Lin Cunzhi said thoughtfully.

"This person's consciousness seems to be stronger than ordinary people." The old man in black robe also noticed.

"I just hope that he can stay in the Lin family and plant blood-toothed rice this time. In recent years, Gongyang Zhenren's requirements for the quantity and quality of blood-toothed rice have become much higher."

Lin Cunzhi said in a deep voice.

"Master Gongyang has lived to be over three hundred years old, right?! Could it be that he..." the old man in black robe exclaimed in surprise.

"Alas..." Lin Cunzhi looked solemn.

The Lava Li family has always wanted to enter the Fertile Plains to get a piece of the pie.

If Gongyang Zhenren dies, without his protection, the interests of the Lin family will definitely be damaged.

Maybe the Li family will take action directly.

"There is no need to be so pessimistic. It is estimated that Gongyang Zhenren can survive for more than ten years. During this period, Shao Yu and Shao Yi are all expected to build foundations. The Lin family only needs to add one or two more foundations and soil. Or the ancestor can protect the interests of the family if he takes a further step."

The old man in black robe pondered.

"I hope..." Lin Cunzhi nodded, "It seems that the family will focus on the Foundation Establishment Pill next."

"Step up collecting materials."

The old man in black robe responded.

Seven days later.

The Demonic Tree finally digested the soul of the second-level rock bear.

[Skill: Spiritual Resurrection·Proficiency (11%)]

[Effect: Nourishing the soul, distracting the mind]

Although the magic tree has not advanced, the power of the soul has increased, and the progress of the magic of sending gods has greatly increased, directly entering the proficiency stage.

The next day.

A servant of the Lin family informed Fang Xiu that Lin Cunzhi asked him to go to the front hall of the villa and said that the Blood Tooth rice seedlings had been delivered.

Fang Xiu and Su Lingyun went to collect the seedlings together.

Along with the seedlings came a reply from Lin Shaoyu.

Fang Xiu opened the letter and looked at it.

"So fast..."

Lin Shaoyu informed in the letter that Yu Yongwei was not in the sect and was traveling.

Because her cultivation had reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining, she went out to look for opportunities to break through.

Although spiritual roots and resources are the most important in the early stage of cultivation, the state of mind also has an impact on breaking through the realm.

Xiutu, who can definitely build a foundation like Yu Yongwei, usually pursues a perfect breakthrough.

After all, she is only twenty-four years old.

Fang Xiu didn't reply for the time being. After collecting the seedlings, he took Su Lingyun to the cliff to the west of Tianlong Valley.

The hut on the cliff is still the same as before, no big changes.

As for the spiritual field at the head of the house, one can tell at a glance that its fertility has dropped a lot.

"Brother Fang, is this where you lived before..."

Su Lingyun entered the wooden house and looked around.

"Yes. We will live here for the next three years." Fang Xiu smiled.

"Then I'll clean it up."

Su Lingyun rolled up her sleeves and started drying.

She used the cleaning technique to first blow away the dust in the room, and then meticulously cleaned every corner of the room.

'I'll go outside and dig the dirt.'

Fang Xiu nodded and left the cabin.

"puff!"

He patted the storage bag and released the Earthdramon.

"The Earthdramon looked at the familiar environment, and his figure suddenly froze, as if he thought of some bad memories.

"You are already at the second level, what are you afraid of?" Fang Xiu said angrily.

"Pfft..." Earthdramon reacted.

"Go ahead and let Lingtian see your changes and overturn it!"

Fang Xiu smiled.

"Poof!!" The Earth Dragon Beast plunged into the dense spiritual field.

Click, click, click!

The spiritual soil, which was as hard as a low-grade magic weapon, was stirred into pieces under the body of the Earth Dragon Beast, like tender tofu.

Using second-level earth dragons to plant first-level spiritual rice is probably not a luxury that many people can afford.

In just a moment, Dilong turned over the spiritual field.

Rubbing Fang Xiu's trouser legs as if taking credit.

"Very good! With this kind of efficiency, we can plow the soil every three days from now on." Fang Xiu was very satisfied.

"Pfft..." Earthdramon instantly collapsed to the ground and rolled up its belly.

"Zhizhi!" The wind rat squatting on Fang Xiu's shoulder showed an anthropomorphic joke.

"Why are you laughing? You've eaten so many spirit-feeding pills. If you don't advance to the first level of high-quality pills, I will fire you!" Fang Xiu knocked the wind rat's furry head. "Ouch!" The wind rat clutched the pain. The head is raised and the forelimbs are making famous gestures, indicating that it has eaten far less Spirit Pills than the Earth Dragon Beast.

Kaka!

The earth dragon beast opened its big mouth, revealing its sharp fangs that glowed with cold light, and kept opening and closing them.

"Squeak!" Feng Shu shivered in fear and hugged Fang Xiu's neck tightly, as if he understood the consequences of being "fired".

"Brother Fang, come here and see if there's anything missing." Su Lingyun's voice came from the room.

"Well, here we come." Fang Xiu entered the room.

The inside was brand new, with many more daily necessities, the wooden couch was also covered with thick mattresses, and the room exuded a faint fragrance.

"Not bad." Fang Xiu smiled, "This makes it feel like home."

Having someone to help him with his daily life matters in the future will save him more time to do serious work.

"Let's go and watch me sow the seedlings!"

Fang Xiu walked out of the house.

Su Lingyun followed out and showed a hint of awe when she saw the earth dragon beast in the spiritual field.

The monsters at the early stage of the second level are comparable to the monks at the early stage of foundation building.

Fang Xiu's tricks were endless, and Su Lingyun was so impressed that she fell to the ground.

"Whoosh!"

Fang Xiu used the art of moving clouds and spreading rain, and a large amount of spiritual rain fell into the spiritual field, turning the dry fields into paddy fields.

"Let me help you."

Su Lingyun rolled up her trouser legs and went down into the muddy paddy field.

By the time the two of them finished planting the seedlings, it was already evening.

Su Lingyun went to the stove behind the house to light a fire and cook spiritual rice.

After dinner, Fang Xiu taught Su Lingyun martial arts training.

When it was completely dark.

Fang Xiu looked normal, while Su Lingyun was sweating profusely.

The two went to the river below the cliff to bathe together, and practiced the dual cultivation technique by the way.

It was a different feeling.

At night.

The two lay on the couch.

Su Lingyun nestled in Fang Xiu's arms like a little bird.

"Brother Fang, you don't have to stay here for me. The most important thing for you now is to build your foundation."

"I'm not doing this for you, but for us. Even if I'm eighty or ninety years old, my blood and qi will not decline. "Fang Xiu said confidently.

After breaking through the martial arts god, the speed of improving external skills slowed down.

He needed more refined blood and qi.

Growing blood tooth rice is the easiest way to obtain pure blood and qi stably.

One year later.

The blood tooth rice grew very well and ushered in the first bumper harvest.

After Fang Xiu handed over the agreed share of blood tooth rice, there were still nearly 800 kilograms of high-quality blood tooth rice left.

Of course, the main reason for such a high profit is that the earth dragon beast is hardworking enough.

After Su Lingyun calculated the income, her eyes widened in surprise.

After planting the spiritual field for a year, the income was as high as 1,600 spirit stones.

The biggest expense was to give The Earth Dragon Beast bought the Spirit Feeding Pill and made it work hard.

After deducting this expense, the net profit was also one thousand spirit stones.

At the beginning of the second year, Fang Xiu planted the seedlings of the Blood Tooth Rice and went to Tianhuo Xiancheng alone.

Tianhuo Xiancheng was about to hold a medium-sized auction.

The quality of the Qingteng Sword was still a little short of the top-grade magic weapon, and it would take more than a year to slowly nurture it before it could advance.

Fang Xiu heard that the second-level spirit wood would appear at the medium-sized auction.

He arrived at Tianhuo Xiancheng, and there was still a month before the auction began.

So Fang Xiu first went to the Baodanju opened by the Danxia Sect here.

Bai Yu sent a letter two months ago.

Asked him to After the New Year, they went to Hanhai Xiancheng on the coast of the East China Sea to meet.

They went to the East China Sea together to hunt special second-level water-attributed monsters and refine foundation-building pills.

Fang Xiu left a letter and left Baodanju.

He spent four hundred spirit stones to buy a piece of first-level upper-grade iron essence and rented a ground fire room.

He added iron essence to Cheng Ziyi's top-grade magic weapon Jinfeng Sword.

The first-level upper-grade iron essence could not improve the power and quality of the Jinfeng Sword, but it changed the color and aura of the Jinfeng Sword.

After that, he sent the Jinfeng Sword to the auction to be auctioned.

A month later, the auction began.

Fang Xiu spent a thousand spirit stones to bid for the second-level lower-grade Qingling Yuzhu.

And He used 1,900 spirit stones to bid for the second-level longevity pill.

As for the Golden Sword, it was finally sold for 3,000 spirit stones.

After the auction, Fang Xiu returned to the Earth Fire Room and began to refine the Qingling Jade Bamboo.

Half a month later.

In the Earth Fire Room.

Buzz!

The Green Ivy Sword glowed brightly, and the originally emerald green sword body became as crystal clear as jade, emitting a verdant spiritual light.

At the same time, a wave of mana was generated around Fang Xiu, and the surrounding spiritual energy formed a small vortex,

gathering towards his body and finally entering the Dantian.

"Finally, I have reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining...:..This time, the mana has increased by 40%! "

Fang Xiu showed a happy expression. The Green Ivy Sword was promoted to a top-grade magic weapon, and it finally began to repay him.

When a normal small realm is promoted, the mana generally increases by 20% to 30%. Only a few special skills can increase the mana by more than 30%.

After the Green Ivy Sword was promoted, although its power was not outstanding among the top-grade magic weapons, the mana consumed was only about two-thirds of the magic weapons of the same level.

"Now there is a guaranteed 80% success rate of foundation building."

Fang Xiu put the Green Ivy Sword back into his dantian.

He spent more than 500 spirit stones to buy a fine purple condensation pill and some medicinal materials needed to refine the Yellow Dragon Pill, and then left Tianhuo Xiancheng.
