Chapter 56: Seventh Level of Qi Refining
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Thanks to Su Qingwu's continuous efforts, the Yuqingjing Space has undergone tremendous changes.
At first glance, all kinds of spiritual plants are full of vitality.
Thousands of acres of spiritual fields have been opened up, but a small part of them has not yet been planted.
The black rice, white corn wheat, red beans, purple taro and tri-color potatoes that were initially planted have now matured, with a total of 820 plants irrigated by the mysterious stone bottles.
When Su Qingwu harvested, he found a problem.
For grain-type spiritual plants, the cultivation effect of repaying the kindness is not as good as that of spiritual grass.
When she first harvested the spiritual plants on Bailing Island, she had actually already noticed some clues.
It was just that at that time she was looking after two acres of spiritual fields, planted with many kinds of spiritual plants, so she didn't think about it carefully.
Now recalling it again, I have come up with a pattern.
The spiritual plants that mature in different years will give back completely different levels of cultivation.
If it matures once a year, after the harvest, ordinary quality can feed back one ten-thousandth of the current realm of cultivation; superior quality can feed back one thousandth of the current realm of cultivation; and perfect quality can feed back one percent of the current realm of cultivation.
For spiritual plants like cereals that mature every six months, the cultivation gained after harvest will be reduced by more than half.
If the harvest is every two years, after the harvest, the cultivation of repaying the kindness will increase by nearly one-fold.
As for more than two years, according to the existing rules, it should continue to increase exponentially.
However, Su Qingwu had a vague feeling that the higher the age of maturity, the smaller the bonus to cultivation would be, until it reached a certain upper limit.
Otherwise, according to the existing rules, as long as one harvests a perfect quality spiritual plant that is watered by the mysterious stone bottle and matures once a hundred years, one will be promoted directly on the spot.
If we plant a few more, wouldn’t we be able to ascend to heaven instantly?
Thinking of this possibility, she shook her head secretly in denial.
Her intuition told her that it was not that simple, and the exact situation could only be verified in the future.
......
Because there are so many spiritual fields, Su Qingwu alone cannot take care of every one of them.
Su Wen cannot change the things in the space. When she finds a problem, she will immediately raise it and solve it herself.
However, even so, there may still be a small number of pests and diseases that cannot be dealt with in time, affecting the quality of maturity.
Today, grain spiritual plants are harvested in batches, totaling 130,000 plants, 70% of which are of ordinary quality.
The superior quality is more than 25%, and the rest is less than 50%, which is perfect quality.
Among them, there were 820 spiritual plants watered by the mysterious stone bottles, and a total of 365 perfect plants.
Although it only takes half a year to mature, the cultivation gained through feeding back is relatively small, but the advantage is that the quantity is large, and when accumulated, it is enough to break through the current realm.
After reaping all the benefits, Su Qingwu sensed the seventh cyclone in his Dantian that had not yet condensed. He immediately took out the cushion and went to the side to sit cross-legged in meditation.
The spiritual energy in the space was already rich, and before long, a miniature spiritual energy cyclone formed above his head and poured down.
It lasted for about thirty breaths and then slowly disappeared.
In the Dantian, the seventh cyclone was completely condensed, and Su Qingwu's cultivation level broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining at this moment!
After meditating for a while, she slowly opened her star-like eyes and heard Su Wen's congratulations in her ears.
"Congratulations to Qingwu. After half a year, your cultivation has broken through again and you are one step closer to building your foundation!"
There are ten levels in the Qi Refining Stage. Once you break through to the seventh level, you have entered the late stage of Qi Refining, and your strength will be greatly improved compared to before.
She looked at the person next to her with a smile and nodded in thanks.
"Now that this batch of spiritual grains and plants has been harvested, I plan to keep some to make spiritual meals and sell the rest."
Upon hearing this, Su Wen pondered and said:
"There are a lot of grains here, about 70,000 kilograms in total. I suggest selling them in batches, and not in the same industry, or better yet, not in the same market, otherwise they will easily attract attention."
Su Qingwu thought for a moment, nodded and said:
"That's exactly what we should do. Otherwise, once it's discovered, we won't be able to explain the source, and people with sharp minds might guess it's a space magic weapon, which would cause endless trouble.
However, among the markets near the sect, I only know one, Qingmufang, and I am not sure about the rest. Before taking any action, it is necessary to buy a map first.
In addition, we need to purchase some aquatic monsters and birds. The corresponding places have been prepared and have been vacant. "
After saying this, Su Wen gently suggested:
"The sale of the grain can be postponed until the remaining work is completed and it will not be too late to start it."
"That's what I was planning. Besides, the remaining Huiling Grass in the yard will also mature soon. When the task is handed over, I can plant all of them with Yinxian Grass."
Su Qingwu didn't have any expectations for the spiritual plants in the courtyard.
Over the past six months, all the spiritual water stored in the mysterious stone bottle has been used to water the spiritual plants in the space. Those outside the courtyard have not been taken care of except for daily care.
The pot of vines of unknown quality had been moved into the space by her and was now about ten inches tall.
Most vine-like spiritual plants can survive by cuttings. Su Qingwu once had a similar idea, breaking off a section and using it for cuttings to see if a second plant could grow.
But in the end the attempt failed.
It's not that it can't survive, but this vine is extremely hard. Not to mention climbing and breaking it, even if you use magic and sword to attack it, there will not be any scratches.
Su Wen also tried to help, with the same result.
Not only the vines, but even the surrounding branches and leaves cannot be damaged in the slightest.
As a result, Su Qingwu had to give up his original idea.
......
After leaving the space, she walked out of the bluestone courtyard, went down the mountain, and headed all the way to Qingmufang Market outside the sect.
The destination of this trip is the menagerie.
Before I got close, I heard a series of beast roars.
Su Wen was knowledgeable and could quickly identify the types of spirit beasts based on the sounds they made.
Spotted tiger, sabertooth wolf, flaming eagle...
As they entered the garden, servants soon came forward to greet them.
Su Qingwu explained his purpose and followed him to the aquatic area.
There were many varieties of first-level fish monsters. Remembering that there were four water tanks in the courtyard, she bought sixteen ornamental carps with the introduction of her servant, spending sixteen spirit stones.
Then there are all kinds of delicious edible fish, totaling one thousand.
Since Su Qingwu selected young fish, the price was not expensive, only one hundred spirit stones in total.
Not long after, the servant put the purchased fish into an obsidian water tank and handed it over respectfully.
The spirit stones had been paid, and Su Qingwu waved his sleeves to put the water tank into the spirit beast bag, and continued:
"Do you have any suitable bird monsters to recommend in the park?"
The attendant nodded. "There are some that are good at laying eggs, and some that are raised to be used in making spiritual meals. I wonder which one the guest prefers, or do you want both?"
"Let's go with the former."
"Okay, please follow me, sir."
The attendant walked in front to lead the way, and the two soon arrived at the poultry area.
Su Qingwu took a quick look and found that this kind of monster looked similar to ordinary birds.
In the end, she selected ten white-feathered chickens that had grown to adulthood and spent five hundred spirit stones.
There were many monks coming and going in the beast training park, and various conversations could be heard by Su Qingwu from time to time.
Some of them tried to bargain, but the prices of goods sold by such large industries were always fixed, so those people, without exception, did not get what they wanted.
However, there were a few discussions that caught her attention.
