Living a peaceful life in the world of cultivation

The friendship between Lü Ping and Zhao Dashan did not end badly because of the last incident.

Not long after that, Zhao Dashan came to see Lü Ping and said that he had not thought things through.

The task of pioneering new lands is fraught with both danger and opportunity. Even a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining cannot guarantee his safe return, let alone protect Lü Ping, who is only at the third level of Qi Refining, should they encounter powerful demonic beasts.

"Ah Ping, what brings you here this time?" Zhao Dashan knew Lü Ping quite well.

He is cautious and prefers quiet. He can spend all day in the yard planting flowers and playing with his dog without feeling bored.

"I wonder if Brother Dashan still remembers the withered seed you gave me last time?" Zhao Dashan only remembered after Lu Ping reminded him.

"Kuzhong, I vaguely remember him. Aping, you brought him back to life?"

Lu Ping nodded, having already prepared his words: "I was also helpless against the withered seed."

"But since the insect plague, the flesh and blood of the demonic insects have flowed into the spiritual soil, and the condition of the few withered seeds has improved more and more."

"I suspect that this withered seed will most likely need the flesh and blood of a demonic beast to be saved."

"But I don't have any connections, so I came to you, Brother Dashan, for some advice."

Lu Ping put down his teacup and looked at Zhao Dashan.

Connections?

Zhao Dashan understood as well. Lü Ping had little interaction with the other cultivators. Things were different now than before. Demon hunters would generally not keep demon beast flesh and blood in their storage bags. Only Xiangyun Tower kept demon beast flesh and blood.

The "connection" that Lü Ping mentioned was none other than Zhao Dashan.

"Ah Ping, you little rascal, do you need all this roundabout stuff to ask me for help?"

"Let's set off now for Xiangyun Tower."

Zhao Dashan was free at the time, and Lü Ping rarely needed to ask him for favors, so he immediately took Lü Ping to Xiangyun Tower.

The restlessness in the market slowly seeped into the hearts of the cultivators.

The flow of people in the inner city and the market area for independent cultivators has almost returned to normal.

After spending some time, the two arrived at Xiangyun Tower.

However, the two did not enter through the main entrance.

Thanks to Zhao Dashan's diligent and conscientious work at Xiangyun Tower for several years, and his good relationship with the cultivators in the rear, no one asked him any questions when he brought people over.

They were just trying to see if they could find a job for the young cultivators they brought along.

Before Lü Ping even stepped into the kitchen of Xiangyun Tower, the strong smell of blood, neutralized by the medicinal herbs, produced an aroma that went straight to one's stomach after cooking, whetting one's appetite.

The spiritual cuisine of Xiangyun Tower is famous far and wide. One of its specialties is called Eight Treasures Stewed Snow Toad. It involves inviting demon hunters from the market to go to the Snow Toad Mountain Range to capture live snow toads, and then adding eight kinds of first-grade mid-level spiritual herbs to stew with the snow toads.

Because of the extreme difficulty in capturing snow toads alive, the Eight Treasures Stewed Snow Toad dish often needs to be ordered a year or even two years in advance.

Spiritual cuisine is not just about satisfying the taste buds of cultivators.

Take Eight Treasures Stewed Snow Toad as an example; it has the effects of detoxifying and clearing away impurities, warming and nourishing the meridians, strengthening the foundation, calming the mind and spirit, and replenishing qi and blood.

Spirit chefs are one of the many skills cultivated, but compared to spirit plant masters, they are much rarer.

With Zhao Dashan's help, Lü Ping also met Manager Zhang of Xiangyun Tower.

Manager Zhang of Xiangyun Tower did not want to neglect the two of them, and soon arrived.

Manager Zhang of Xiangyun Tower was about forty or fifty years old. He had a fair complexion and a few long, thin wisps of beard. He was tall and slender, yet his steps were light and steady.

The aura emanating from this Manager Zhang was no less than that of Manager Lu of Lingcao Hall, suggesting that he was also a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

"Greetings, Steward Zhang."

Zhang Yunlai nodded, his gaze falling on Zhao Dashan and Lü Ping.

"Dashan, this is your brother, who wants to do business with my Xiangyunlou."

Zhao Dashan nodded. Although they were all at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and his cultivation had broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, he still felt a solid and heavy sense of pressure from this Manager Zhang.

"May I ask how this young man is addressed, and what business he wishes to conduct with my Xiangyun Tower?" Zhang Yunlai asked with a gentle smile. Xiangyun Tower was an open business, and in Zhang Yunlai's view, it made no difference whether one entered through the main entrance or the side entrance.

"I am Lü Ping, a spirit plant master. I have come to your esteemed establishment to purchase some demon beast flesh and blood to cultivate spirit plants." Lü Ping's attitude was very humble, without any hint of arrogance or servility.

Firstly, he needed someone's help.

Secondly, Zhang Yunlai is a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator. No matter how good his temperament is, he should still show respect to mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

Lu Ping adopted a humble attitude, and Zhang Yunlai was also very approachable towards low-level cultivators, especially with Zhao Dashan acting as a go-between.

The transaction was completed quickly, and Manager Zhang got up and left, instructing Lü Ping that for future business like this, he could go directly to the counter and do it with the temple attendant.

On the way back, Lu Ping had the purchased monster flesh and blood in his storage bag; in his hand, he carried the monster meat cooked by Xiangyun Tower.

They went back together with Zhao Dashan, and after drinking and eating meat, they returned to their lodgings.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard gate.

The chasing dog then approached, whether it was because it smelled Lu Ping's scent or because of its affectionate gesture, it's unclear.

As soon as the fresh flesh and blood of the demon beast were taken out of the storage bag, the Crimson Blood Ginseng in the spiritual soil of Area Three immediately came to life.

Flesh and blood, fresh flesh and blood.

Flesh and blood, fresh flesh and blood.

Flesh and blood, fresh flesh and blood.

Flesh and blood, fresh flesh and blood.

The Wind Chaser pounced again, like a ball of golden flame, its tail swishing wildly, as if it might fly away at any moment. Drooling dripped from its mouth, covering the ground.

"Yes, it's time to feed the Wind Chaser Hounds some monster meat."

"The hunting dogs that search for demons in the mountains are always eating lean meat porridge. What kind of behavior is that?"

After cutting off a piece of monster meat and tossing it to the Wind Chaser, Lü Ping placed the remaining monster flesh and blood into area number three.

[The rich aura of life makes me feel alive again. Thank you, Spirit Plant Master.]

[The rich aura of life makes me feel alive again. Thank you, Spirit Plant Master.]

[The rich aura of life makes me feel alive again. Thank you, Spirit Plant Master.]

[The rich aura of life makes me feel alive again. Thank you, Spirit Plant Master.]

The four withered seeds of Crimson Blood Ginseng expressed their gratitude in unison, which was much better than the Spring Grass who only knew how to eat and drink, and the Moon-Closing Flower who harbored some dissatisfaction with him.

He was a big spender on spirit stones. This time, when he went to Xiangyun Tower to buy the flesh and blood of demonic beasts, even the lowest grade of demonic beast flesh and blood cost him five low-grade spirit stones.

Now, Lu Ping only has five low-grade spirit stones left.

Although there were no seven spirit stones in his storage bag, his back was very strong.

This batch of rejuvenating grass will mature in a few days. It's the perfect time to make a fortune from clearing land, and we'll be able to recover a huge amount of losses soon.

As late autumn approaches, the time for the Li family to clear the land from Yunzhu has been shortened somewhat. The Li family will most likely be preparing to enter the Snow Toad Mountains in the dead of winter.

Because at this time of year, the snow toads in the Snow Toad Mountains are at their most active.

It should be known that snow toads can be eaten as food or used as medicine. They are expensive and are jokingly referred to by cultivators in the market as a walking vein of spirit stones.

A withered yellow leaf swayed and finally landed on top of a spring grass.

boo.

[One Tier 1 Low-Grade Rejuvenating Herb has been harvested; its condition is perfect. Reward: One Tier 1 Mid-Grade Sword Qi Talisman.]
