Chapter 11
: This is blatant racism!
The moon and stars are rare.
The "Frog Prodigy," with its round, white belly from eating, squatted down and pretended to sleep, occasionally opening its mouth slightly to swallow the annoying mosquitoes one by one.
The sharp-headed "Big Smart" finished eating a "Half-Spirit Worm," then, with its tail held high, it munched on the rice, vegetables, and meat stew in its dog bowl.
Li Changsheng squatted to the side with his rice bowl in hand. Seeing Da Congming eating so deliciously, his appetite improved. He shoveled the mixed rice porridge into his mouth and quickly finished the whole bowl.
"call…"
Feeling completely full, he breathed a satisfied sigh of relief. While washing the dishes, he suddenly had an idea when he thought about buying rice tomorrow.
"Would you like to buy some 'Lingmi' rice to try...?"
Once the thought arises, it can no longer be suppressed.
Now that he has a "talismanic" hoe, his farming speed has increased dramatically, and the weeds he clears each day can be sold for a considerable amount of spirit fragments.
Moreover, it is a "love flower" in the natal chart.
It can also produce "Aura" worth thirty-five low-grade spirit stones every half month.
Most importantly, compared to Vanme.
The benefits of spiritual rice are countless. Not only does it taste far superior to ordinary rice, but it also contains spiritual energy that can enhance cultivation and nourish the body.
The only downside is that it's a bit expensive.
One low-grade spirit stone can only buy one pound of the most ordinary low-grade "Yellow Sprout Rice".
"Then... I'll buy half a pound to try..."
After thinking it over, Li Changsheng decided to buy it anyway.
He's already cultivating immortality, and his own life seed is producing. His life is getting better and better, so there's no need for him to suffer.
Besides, he wasn't doing it for the sake of satisfying his appetite.
The main point is that ordinary rice is not beneficial to eat too much, while "spiritual rice" becomes stronger the more you eat it.
After making his decision, Li Changsheng happily finished washing the dishes, turned around and left the kitchen. He went into the yard, picked up the seemingly dozing "Frog Prodigy," looked at the big, clever frog sitting on the ground, patted its pointed head, and smiled:
"Watch the house carefully, and tomorrow your master will catch you a 'half-spirit worm' to eat..."
He glanced at the door, made sure it was locked, picked up the most valuable item in the house, the "talismanic artifact" hoe, and entered the main house.
The interior furnishings were simple.
A bed, a table and chairs.
Li Changsheng placed the "talismanic hoe" in front of the door and carried "Frog Prodigy" onto the bed.
He placed "Frog Prodigy" aside, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to practice the basic technique "Wood Spirit Technique" issued by the sect.
Without the nuisance of mosquitoes, he quickly entered a meditative state.
In his perception, the pitch-black world was filled with tiny points of light, each shimmering with a different color, like fireflies, swirling and undulating.
These are the spiritual energies of heaven and earth that allow cultivators to step into the extraordinary realm.
Because he possesses the spiritual roots of wood, water, and earth.
Among them, the Wood Spirit Root has the highest affinity.
Therefore, the most abundant spiritual energy gathered around him was green wood energy, followed by blue water energy, and then yellow earth energy.
There is very little spiritual energy of other attributes.
"Once I've earned enough spirit stones, I'll definitely switch to a higher-level cultivation technique..."
Li Changsheng felt a pang of heartache because he could sense the water and earth spiritual energy but could not absorb and refine them.
If he can absorb and refine all three types of spiritual energy, it might not be long before he breaks through to the second level of Qi Refining and nurtures a second "Life Seed".
Li Changsheng forcibly suppressed his distracting thoughts, released his consciousness, and enveloped a piece of wood-elemental energy.
It felt like a young boy and girl in their early teens, each trying to outdo the other, and before long, they ended up living together without any shame.
"Wood spirit energy" enters the body.
Li Changsheng immediately felt a cool energy flow into his meridians, circulating and swirling, making him feel extremely comfortable. Only when it filled his energy imprint did it fall into his dantian, merging with the spiritual energy there and becoming a member of the family.
No sleep for one night.
The next day.
The first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the window cracks and fell on the boy's noodles. His eyelids fluttered, he let out a long breath, and opened his eyes.
Li Changsheng sensed the six strands of spiritual energy growing in his dantian, and the feeling of it becoming fuller and stronger filled him with a deep sense of satisfaction.
"No wonder everyone's obsessed with cultivating immortality; the ever-increasing sense of exhilaration is simply incredible..."
As the thought flashed through his mind, he focused his gaze on himself, a faint glimmer of starlight flashing deep within his eyes.
[Target: Li Changsheng]
Race: Human
[Cultivation Level: Qi Refining Level 1 "17%"]
[Spell/Art: None]
Status: Healthy
"Did it grow by 1%...?"
Li Changsheng sighed inwardly. This was only the first level of Qi Refining. Once he broke through to the second level, the increase would definitely be even smaller.
His gaze was fixed on the cultivation level column.
[Cannot be cultivated...]
"So, we can only cultivate plants and animals...?"
Li Changsheng really wanted to say that this was blatant "racial discrimination"!
Why can't he nurture himself?
Just because he's human? ...
Being a person is so hard...
Li Changsheng suppressed his joking thoughts and turned to look at the earth frog lying obediently beside him. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that "Frog Prodigy" seemed to have gained weight.
I stroked its matte-textured head and gazed at it intently.
[Target: Ground Frog]
[Attribute: Earth]
[Cultivation Level: Unranked "45%"]
Bloodline: Unknown
Quality: ★★★
Status: Healthy
"Cultivation progress increased by 10%!"
Upon seeing the cultivation level section, Li Changsheng's eyes lit up.
He had expected the cultivation results to be good, but he didn't expect them to be this good.
A 10% increase in one day.
Doesn't that mean that in just five days, "Frog Prodigy" can transform into a true low-grade "spirit beast"?!
If one were to awaken innate magical abilities...
"Tsk..."
Li Changsheng clicked his tongue and happily picked up "Frog Prodigy," sparing no effort to give it a massage.
To relax its muscles and improve blood circulation is secondary.
The real goal is to imprint his spiritual power mark.
After all, he didn't have a beast-taming seed, so if he didn't let "Frog Prodigy" take the form of his spiritual power, it was uncertain whether it would even acknowledge him as its master once it broke through to become a "spirit beast".
"Frog Prodigy" squinted his eyes, clearly enjoying himself.
After a massage, Li Changsheng bonded with "Frog Prodigy," hoisted "Frog Prodigy" onto his shoulder, and, with a joyful heart, pushed open the door, carrying the "talismanic artifact" hoe.
Mmm...
A childish humming sound came from the doorway.
"Um?"
Li Changsheng opened the door and saw Da Congming sprawled out, whimpering. He paused for a moment, then chuckled, squatted down, picked it up, tapped its pointed head, and said with a smile:
"Why sleep by the door of all places? Aren't you afraid of getting trampled to death?"
I'll give it a couple of scathing remarks.
Thinking that when Tian comes back, he will build a doghouse for "Big Smart".
He suppressed his thoughts and fixed his gaze on her.
[Target: Chase away mountain dogs]
[Attribute: Wind]
[Cultivation Level: Unranked "7%"]
[Bloodline: Mountain Dog]
[Quality: Poor]
Status: Healthy
"Your cultivation level increased by 5%? Not bad, not bad..."
Li Changsheng nodded in satisfaction. This showed that "Great Intelligence" had a decent aptitude for cultivation, at least one star. It was just that its other aspects were too poor, which is why it was rated as inferior.
I took the two little ones into the kitchen.
I simply reheated the leftover porridge from last night.
Li Changsheng was thinking about the "spirit rice porridge" and didn't eat it. "Frog Prodigy" had been eating mosquitoes all night and wasn't hungry. On the other hand, "Big Smart" was eating happily, swishing its tail back and forth.
While feeding them, I went to the backyard.
Approaching the "Love Flower" of destiny.
Li Changsheng glanced at him briefly, and his face visibly darkened.
The "Frog Prodigy," with its round, white belly from eating, squatted down and pretended to sleep, occasionally opening its mouth slightly to swallow the annoying mosquitoes one by one.
