Chapter 52: Collecting Fire Grass

This time, Chen Shan's team needs six people, the original four people plus her and another male cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

The male cultivator looked about the same age as Ji Qingyuan, but he was already at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Ji Qingling reminded herself in her heart that one should not be too proud. She had the help of Little Bud, and she didn't know whether she could reach the fifth level of Qi Refining in two or three years.

Chen Shan’s team had discovered the Six-Cave Bear in Cangwu Mountain last time. Coincidentally, there was another mission on the wall for Fire Spirit Grass in the same location, so they accepted them together.

The team leader Wang Weiren is at the seventh level of Qi Refining, another male cultivator Liu Yong is at the sixth level of Qi Refining, Chen Shan and another female cultivator Wang Zhen in their team are both at the fifth level of Qi Refining. The new member Ji Qingling has the lowest level of Qi Refining, and Guan Yunchao is at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

It turned out that the man's name was Guan Yunchao. He remembered him as soon as he heard the name. When they first arrived, the monk who came to pick them up specifically mentioned his and Ji Qiao's names when he left.

This means that this person either has a single spiritual root attribute or has a strong background.

After everyone introduced themselves to each other, they accepted their mission and set off.

Along the way, Wang Weiren was very competent and explained in detail the characteristics of the Six Cave Bear and the Fire Spirit Grass.

The Six-Cave Bear is tall and although not fast, it has immense strength. Even ordinary foundation-building cultivators cannot withstand its punches.

This is the most annoying thing about the Liuku Bear, and in order to prevent it from escaping, someone has to guard every position, so the body's defense ability is very important.

"The six-hole bear is very strong. If it rushes towards you, don't resist it."

Wang Weiren was afraid that the new team members didn't know and thought that if they lost their lives the first time, no one would dare to join their team in the future.

As for the Fire Spirit Grass, there is basically nothing you don’t recognize as long as you take a look at the spiritual plant map with some attention.

While Ji Qingling released her spiritual sense to search for spiritual herbs, she habitually transformed small animals in her hands. Now she had developed this little hobby unconsciously.

Whenever she has nothing to do, she would conjure up various things in her hands. Now her control over gold magic is becoming more and more precise.

Wang Zhen observed this temporary teammate with the lowest cultivation level in the team, and frowned slightly when he saw her constantly making small movements with her hands.

"Junior Sister Ji, you must be focused when looking for spiritual herbs. If you are not careful, you will miss them. You must also conserve your spiritual energy. Otherwise, if you encounter any problems, no one will save you."

Ji Qingling suddenly understood that others would indeed have this feeling if they didn't know her.

She stopped what she was doing, smiled and nodded at Wang Zhen to show that she understood.

Wang Weiren was also a little unhappy. This was a manifestation of complete inexperience.

But the person was brought by Chen Shan, so it would be bad to show dissatisfaction as soon as he arrived.

Ji Qingling continued to release his spiritual sense to check the surrounding plants, and finally found a bright red not far away.

I don’t know what kind of elixir the Fire Spirit Grass is used in, but it appears quite often in the Mission Hall, and its price is not low.

Pick the fire spirit grass and put it in a special jade box, which was given by Wang Weiren when they set out. Putting the spiritual herb in the jade box can best ensure its medicinal properties.

Chen Shan happened to be walking by her. "Junior Sister Ji, did you pick it? You're lucky."

Ji Qingling nodded and continued.

But everyone’s luck wasn’t very good afterwards. Not to mention the Six-Hole Bear, there wasn’t even a single monster worth killing the whole day.

Killing some ordinary beasts is just a waste of time.

Each person only picked some fire spirit grass, and then it was dark, so they had to find a place to rest.

Wang Zhen piled up some firewood, flicked a flame between his fingers, and the firewood caught fire.

Ji Qingling was so envious. It was convenient to have a fire spiritual root. He didn’t even need to bring a fire starter when he went out.

Although cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage can utilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cast various five-element spells, this is not possible in the Qi Refining Stage.

Just think about it, the firewood pile will catch fire with just a touch of your finger. If you put a wild rabbit or pheasant on it, it will be delicious! "Junior Sister Ji, please find some more firewood. This fire cannot be extinguished all night."

Sunstone can only provide light but cannot drive away snakes, insects, rats or ants.

Wang Zhen gave Ji Qingling instructions, thinking that she had few tasks to do and didn't know many things.

Ji Qingling looked at the fire and thought that it would have to burn all night, so he had to chop more wood.

She found a relatively straight tree not far away, looked up and saw that it was the one.

Naturally, she was reluctant to use Lingxi to cut down the tree, so she took out the knife she had used the first time.

He slashed the tree twice at the root of the village, then jumped up with a light body move and kicked the tree down.

She used the art of controlling objects to move the tree trunk to the open space, and continued to cut the tree with a knife, one piece at a time. Soon the tree was cut into several pieces.

Moving the tree trunks in front of him, Ji Qingling cut them horizontally and vertically, and soon a straight tree was turned into a pile of neat firewood.

He used the object control technique again to place the pile of firewood next to the fire.

Ji Qingling clapped his hands. It was great to cultivate immortality. Even chopping wood was so exciting.

The fire lit by the monks was spiritual fire, which could burn the newly cut trees.

"Sister Wang, are these enough?"

Wang Zhen looked at the huge pile of firewood and said, "...That's enough."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

She didn't expect that Junior Sister Ji was so efficient, she could chop off so many in just a few strokes, and Junior Sister Ji's object control skills were so good? She could move a whole tree trunk so easily?

Although they are cultivators, cultivators in the Qi Refining stage are not much stronger than martial artists in the secular world except for being able to use the Five Elements spells.

Wang Weiren also looked around and found no danger.

"Have a good rest tonight. The six of us will split up into two night shifts. Wang Zhen, Chen Shan and I will take the first half of the night, and the three of you will take the second half."

No one had any objection, so everyone started to take out their own food.

When going out, although storage bags are convenient, it seems that everyone is used to bringing dried meat or something like that.

So when Ji Qingling took out a bowl of noodles that was bigger than her head, everyone was a little surprised.

The noodles were covered with thick chunks of fragrant meat. The rich aroma of meat attracted several people, who wanted to throw the dried meat in their hands on the ground.

Guan Yunchao sniffed, "Junior Sister Ji, is there any more? Give me a bowl."

Ji Qingling stopped eating noodles. Didn’t he agree in advance to prepare the food himself?

Moreover, this was the first time Guan Yunchao spoke to her, and unexpectedly he was asking her for food.

It's not good to ignore someone when they ask you.

"Yes, three spirit stones for one bowl."

Guan Yunchao's mouth twitched, "The noodles in his shop in the market only cost one spirit stone per bowl at most. Junior Sister Ji, is this true..."

Ji Qingling nodded, "Fellow Daoist Guan is right. Since you know his family, you also know how popular his noodle shop is. Every time you go there, it is always packed with people. And things are valuable because they are rare. At this time and in this situation, it is really fair to sell a bowl of noodles for three spirit stones!"

Being in debt is not a pleasant feeling. Ji Qingling wanted to pay off Manager Li's debt as soon as possible, so although he was reluctant, he had to raise the price and sell it to him since the other party wanted it.

Guan Yunchao wanted to stop eating for a moment, but the sight of Ji Qingling eating the noodles and meat was so delicious.

He handed over three spirit stones and said, "Give me a bowl."

Ji Qingling accepted the spirit stone with a smile, turned around and asked Chen Shan, "Senior Sister Chen, would you like a bowl?"

Chen Shan's expression was slightly out of control. "No, no, you don't have to be polite, Junior Sister."

Ji Qingling nodded and did not insist. Originally, she wanted Chen Shan to invite her to do the task, so she would treat Chen Shan to a bowl of noodles as a thank you.

Who knows if the other party won’t eat it? That’s fine. Some female cultivators pay more attention to their appearance and probably don’t want to eat this in front of others.

If Chen Shan knew Ji Qingling's real intention, she would probably beat Ji Qingling up and said, "You shouldn't ask for the spirit stones, so just make it clear."

Thank you for the reward from Sui Wan! I will continue to ask politely for collection, recommendation and monthly tickets!
