The immortals of the two worlds started from farming and refining pills

Accompanied by the ringing of the bell, Lettuce Island ushered in another New Year.

Ryan and his son personally used the flame rune to guest-star in a fireworks show, which feasted the eyes of the islanders.

After a sumptuous New Year's dinner, the awakening ceremony on Lettuce Island, which had been suspended for more than ten years, was finally held again.

In the middle of the square in front of Hongya Castle, on a high platform built with marble, a bonfire was burning, and five large silver plates inlaid with various gems were lined up.

The silver plates were filled with Qingling bamboo leaves, golden rice, Hongya rice, Qingzhu rice, and Pingyang mushrooms, all of which were witchcraft (spiritual plants) harvested on the island this year.

Surrounding the bonfire and witchcraft were groups of complex patterns, arranged in a staggered manner according to the mysterious trajectory.

Ryan took the brothers Rick and Leir, bare-chested and exposed in the middle of winter, with grass skirts around their waists and feather crowns on their heads, and stood on the high platform.

Below the platform, seventeen young men and women who participated in the awakening ceremony, wearing thin linen clothes, shivered, but looked at the three people expectantly.

And in the outer periphery, villagers and serfs, no distinction between each other, formed circles in an orderly manner, all cheered up, with hope in their eyes.

"Islanders of Lettuce Island, in the past year, we have successively welcomed the harvest of five kinds of witchcraft medicines, including Hongya rice, Qingling bamboo, Pingyang mushroom, etc...."

Ryan's low and majestic voice echoed over Hongya Castle.

Li Qing stood on the top of a barren mountain, looking at Hongya Castle from afar, and his true energy moved to his eyes, and everything was clear.

Li Qing had heard Ryan introduce the awakening ceremony many times, which was roughly divided into three steps.

First, the lord announced the harvest of witchcraft medicine, and led the people to sing and dance, celebrate the harvest, and pray for good weather in the new year, and the witchcraft medicine to grow luxuriantly and get a better harvest.

Then the lord led the rune warriors to hold a ceremony, activating the power of the runes, infusing them into the array pattern drawn in advance, and communicating with a mysterious existence in the dark.

Finally, the witch medicine was offered as a sacrifice to this mysterious existence and received blessings.

Compared with the various complicated rituals in the cultivation world, this awakening ceremony was extremely simple. The only element of mysticism contained was the array pattern of communication and sacrifice.

But Li Qing could not comprehend this array pattern at all. He did not know what it meant, nor did he understand its meaning. It was like a black box that could be used without opening it.

Li Qing was not interested in this "mysterious existence" and was afraid of being watched by it, so he hid far away and looked inward with his spiritual consciousness, ready to activate the "Gate of Heaven" phantom at any time.

Finally, Ryan's harvest declaration came to an end. He turned around seriously and raised his hand high.

"Dong! Dongdong!"

Several villagers who were related to the Rapunzel family beat several drums vigorously, and then everyone danced exaggeratedly to the beat of the drums.

"Ulaso! Amido! Leon Lunaqi..." Everyone sang the ancient aria that was passed down but whose meaning had long been unknown.

As the ceremony continued, the chaotic dance steps and the seriously out-of-tune chorus gradually became uniform.

Li Qing's consciousness was suddenly touched. He keenly discovered that everyone's dance steps, as if under the subtle influence of some mysterious power, gradually became completely in sync with the drums.

A huge and far-reaching wave descended from the sky, like a pair of indifferent eyes, quietly watching all this.

Li Qing couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and was about to activate the "Gate of Tianwei", but the Taihao Palace map in the spirit platform trembled slightly.

In an instant, the sense of crisis of being watched disappeared, and Li Qing was determined and gave up the idea of ​​escaping.

Finally, after the drum beats reached their highest peak, all the singing and dancing stopped abruptly.

Ryan was sweating all over, and he walked to the campfire with his brothers, Rick and Leir, with a burning gaze.

"Let's get started!" Ryan knelt in front of the campfire, pressing two array patterns with his hands, and the flame runes in his body gushed out and poured into it continuously.

Rick and Leir did not dare to neglect it, and knelt down, and the flame runes and the ice runes restored by fighting spirit were also poured into the array pattern.

Li Qing couldn't help but raise his heart: I don't know if my magic-modified Taoist military method and fighting spirit method are still recognized by the ceremony?

After learning about this step, Li Qing thought about giving up the awakening ceremony.

After all, with his magic-modified practice method, if you don't consider the future potential, you can pull out a team of extraordinary people with some effort.

But the earnest eyes of the Ryan family touched him.

- This is the historical turning point for Lettuce Island to revive after more than a decade of continuous decline. They wanted to use such a traditional ceremony to comfort their deceased ancestors.

Li Qing didn't quite understand, but he showed respect. After he sent the pregnant Anna and Kailin to a nearby deserted island.

If something went wrong, it would be the end of fate.

Li Qing had experienced so many separations and deaths in his sixty years of life, and he had long since looked down on them. After all, there were still three hundred years in the future, and who knew how many more people would have to be sent away?

Fortunately, the awakening ceremony was flawless. After the array absorbed the rune power of Ryan and his son, it suddenly burst into an indescribable brilliance, which made people dazzled.

The islanders had been instructed long ago, and they all knelt down in fear, with their foreheads against the cold ground, not daring to spy at all.

Only Li Qing turned his head away, and although he didn't look directly at it, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the infinite mystery of the brilliance from the corner of his eyes.

Fortunately, the Taihao Palace map trembled again.

The half of the green wall condensed by Li Qing and the piece of golden tile on it emitted a faint green-gold light, isolating the influence of the brilliance of the formation pattern.

Li Qing seemed to "see" the indifferent existence in the sky in a trance, and he lowered his will, and the bonfire on the high platform suddenly rose.

"Sacrifice..." The majestic voice sounded in everyone's mind.

The three people of Lei En were shocked, as if struck by lightning, and hurriedly poured the silver plates containing spiritual plants into the bonfire one by one.

"Boom--"

The lightest Qingling bamboo leaves quickly burned out, and a cool fragrance, accompanied by curling green smoke, rose to the sky.

Then came the rainbow cliff rice and Pingyang fungus, which were inherently full of fire and yang energy, making them burn fiercely.

The light red smoke, with a warm fragrance, lingered and rose, swirling to catch up with the green smoke and went straight up to the sky.

The golden rice and green pearl rice burned very slowly, and the smoke they emitted was green and yellow, turning into a cloud-like shape, slowly floating into the sky.

"Why does this seem like the gods are enjoying the incense?" Li Qing suddenly had an idea.

"But this god doesn't seem to absorb the islanders' wishes, but seems to be simply enjoying the fireworks produced by the burning of spiritual plants..."

Finally, all five plates of spiritual plants were burned out, and there was a loud thunder in the sky, hitting the bonfire.

"Bless, seven times!" The indifferent voice seemed to be a little satisfied, and it didn't make people feel uncomfortable when it resounded in everyone's mind.
