Qingcang Immortal Clan: Starting with Farming to Increase Luck

Most importantly, spiritual veins can nourish spiritual fields, not only improving their grade but also fostering their growth.

With this first-order spiritual vein, his two and a half acres of spiritual fields will not only continue to improve in quality, but may even become three and a half acres, four and a half acres, or even more.

As for why the spiritual veins turn into spiritual pearls, this is actually the wonderful application of the Spirit Interception Technique and the Spirit Gathering Technique.

After finding a spiritual vein, people can't just carry the whole thing around, right? Cultivators can use the Spirit Interception Technique to sever the spiritual vein, and then use the Spirit Gathering Technique to gather the spiritual energy into a pearl.

Although there will be some damage, in this way, the spiritual veins can not only be placed where desired, but also be transformed into resources.

In the market, many people exchange cultivation materials directly with spiritual veins, which are far more valuable than spirit stones.

After leaving the council hall, Lu Yang first went to the inner affairs hall. More than half a year had passed, and he had accumulated several spirit stones in his monthly allowance.

Even a small mosquito is still meat, and Lu Yang didn't mind.

Then I went to the Spirit Plant Hall to sell the Spirit Yang Rice. Although the Spirit Yang Rice could fetch a higher price in the market, the clan uses contribution points for settlement. In the future, I can also get a discount when buying things in the clan with contribution points. So, the total value is not lower than outside.

Most importantly, these family members, protected by the family, naturally have to make some contributions to the family.

There's not much Lu Yang can do for the family now. His only contribution might be this spiritual plant. Selling it to the family would put Lu Yang at ease.

One mu of Qingling barley is normally worth ten contribution points, while Lingyang rice is more valuable than Qingling barley, and one mu can earn twelve contribution points.

Lu Yang's yield this time was even higher than the previous Qingling barley, and at Lingzhi Hall, it was valued at a full three and a half acres.

After deducting the points he kept for himself, Lu Yang gained another forty contribution points. Adding to the one hundred contribution points given to him by the clan leader earlier, Lu Yang now had a total of one hundred and forty contribution points.

It's a pity we can't exchange for Spirit Nourishing Pills at the Alchemy Hall. You know, exchanging spirit pills with contribution points is much cheaper than outside.

But if he exchanges it within the clan, it will inevitably attract attention, and people might guess what will happen.

Alas, in the path of cultivation, the word "safety" comes first; one must be careful in everything.

Don't think that you're completely safe just because you're in the clan. I remember when I was at the Taoist academy, my teacher told me about a certain family that was wiped out because there was a traitor in the family.

So, being cautious is never a bad idea.

Lu Yang then exchanged some Bloodtooth Rice seeds, which are among the most valuable first-grade spirit rice.

Compared to Spirit Yang Rice, which only provides spiritual energy to cultivators, Blood Fang Rice provides both spiritual energy and blood energy, thus aiding in physical cultivation.

Although my blood and energy are pitifully low, taking it daily, little by little, will help advance my spiritual practice.

Lu Yang is currently cultivating the Immovable King Sutra and needs Blood Tooth Rice to nourish his body, so Blood Tooth Rice is the most suitable food for him at this stage.

After exchanging the spirit rice, Lu Yang went straight down the mountain.

Once he was a little further away from the mountain and there weren't many people around, Lu Yang took out his Black Cloud Magic Artifact. Sure enough, this flying magic artifact was fast; in less than a quarter of an hour, Lu Yang directly entered the territory of Qingcang Market.

The only thing that Lu Yang was not satisfied with was that the billowing black smoke when he used it was quite eye-catching.

Therefore, before even approaching the market, Lu Yang put away the Black Cloud Magic Artifact.

Compared to his first time entering the market, Lu Yang was much more familiar with the place this time. Moreover, before entering the market, Lu Yang specially changed his Qingcang robe, so no one could recognize him as a member of the Lu family at a glance.

Instead of rushing to buy the Spirit Nourishing Pill, he first strolled around the street stalls.

Having been given two opportunities last time, Lu Yang was quite tempted to find bargains at street stalls.

Unfortunately, nothing appeared this time to trigger the Fate-Breaking Pearl.

So after browsing around, I only bought ten stacks of talisman paper and two bottles of spirit-nourishing pills.

However, this Spirit Nourishing Pill is really expensive.

One Spirit Nourishing Pill costs twenty spirit stones! Twenty of them!

You should know that a Spirit Nourishing Pill only costs three spirit stones.

Lu Yang bought two bottles of Spirit Nourishing Pills, spending four hundred spirit stones in total.

Last time, I seized more than 500 spirit stones from that demon, and this time I received half a year's salary from the Inner Affairs Hall. As a result, I spent 410 spirit stones on this trip. After counting, I now only have a little over 100 spirit stones left.

Goodness, making money is like milking a cow, but spending it is like water flowing away!

However, two bottles of Spirit Nourishing Pills should be enough to support Lu Yang's cultivation until the late stage of Qi Refining. He shouldn't need to spend so much money on Spirit Nourishing Pills anymore. Even if he does need them, he can wait until his cultivation reaches the mid-stage of Qi Refining and then buy them from the clan.

I was originally planning to visit those shops, but when I checked my spirit stone balance, I immediately gave up the idea.

When leaving the market, Lu Yang looked around Fang Laosan's egg-betting stall again. Although this guy was cunning, he still had real monster eggs on his stall. Unfortunately, he had disappeared without a trace.

Just as Lu Yang was about to leave at the entrance of the market, several figures suddenly darted out.

Lu Yang looked at the three cultivators in front of him with a calm expression. There was no need to worry about them at the entrance of the market. Even if they had a lot of courage, they wouldn't dare to attack other cultivators here.

"Hey, fellow Daoist, do you have some free time?"

"leisure?"

"That's right, my name is Lin Chuang. A few days ago, I discovered a senior's cave. I originally wanted to explore it alone, but the cave was protected by a mid-grade array, and I couldn't open it by myself. I've been studying it for the past two days and found that it is the Four Spirits Profound Yin Array. If you don't know how to break the array, you need the combined strength of four people to open it."

So I waited at the entrance of this market, hoping to find one or two fellow cultivators with suitable cultivation levels to explore the cave together.

"We've already found two people; one more and the trip will be complete. I see you have a kind and gentle face; you must be reliable. I wonder if you'd be willing?"

Explore the cave dwelling of our predecessors!

Why would someone with such a good thing think of a stranger like him? Looking at these three, Lin Chuang is at the third level of Qi Refining, with white beard and white hair, and is over sixty years old. At this age, to only have this level of cultivation, he is obviously a down-and-out rogue cultivator.

As for the other two, one was a skinny bamboo pole and the other was a fat bucket; both were only at the second level of Qi Refining.

"Oh, may I ask where this senior's cave is located? Is it far?"

Upon hearing Lu Yang's words, Lin Chuang was overjoyed. "It's in Fengyang Forest not far away. It won't take up much of your time, fellow Daoist. We'll divide what we find from exploring the cave into five parts. I'll get two parts, and the three brothers will each get one part. We definitely won't treat the little brother unfairly."

Lu Yang's face showed a timely expression of interest. "Brother Dao is a very kind person. Since you don't mind, I will accompany you. However, my cultivation is shallow and I am afraid I will hold you back."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuang quickly waved his hand, "What are you saying, young brother? Since we're in the same profession, we're brothers. Let's not delay and set off as soon as possible."

Lin Chuang took the lead, while the skinny bamboo pole and the fat bucket tacitly protected Lu Yang in the middle.
