Living a peaceful life in the world of cultivation

The spiritual energy slowly dissolved, flowing through the meridians like water.

A full cup of tea's time had passed when the spiritual energy within his body finally flowed into his dantian, like rivers returning to the sea.

After carefully sensing the changes within his body, Lü Ping couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.

"So the cluster of spiritual energy is pure spiritual energy."

After absorbing the spiritual energy ball, his cultivation level increased significantly, equivalent to more than a month of arduous training. Now, his cultivation level is considered stable within the third level of Qi Refining.

If one were to simply circulate the cultivation technique and absorb the wandering spiritual energy within the market, it would likely require years of practice to accumulate enough spiritual power to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Now, after a brief analysis, Lü Ping estimated that with another dozen or so spiritual energy clusters, the spiritual power accumulated in his dantian would be enough to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

"The cultivation stage of Qi Refining is a process of accumulating spiritual energy."

"Basically, there will only be minor bottlenecks when breaking through to a higher realm."

"For example, cultivating spiritual consciousness."

Due to the extreme lack of knowledge about cultivation, the only method that Lü Ping knew that could help cultivators nourish their spiritual consciousness was to consume Moon Dew.

However, he was not in a hurry.

"Right now, the main focus remains on peaceful farming."

"First, accumulate spiritual energy and refine your spiritual power. Then, cultivate the third level of Qi Refining to perfection before making any further moves."

"As for cultivating the Moon-Closing Flower and obtaining Moon Dew, we'll discuss that once things have settled down a bit more."

"Regarding matters of spiritual consciousness, you can ask Brother Dashan, or go to the inner city and purchase some books."

Zhao Dashan's cultivation level is a solid fourth level of Qi Refining. He once revealed that he is not far from the fifth level of Qi Refining.

However, the most important thing now is to continue unpacking.

Lu Ping arrived at the No. 2 Spirit Land area and began harvesting the light clusters produced by the Rejuvenating Grass.

[One Tier 1 Low-Grade Rejuvenating Grass has been harvested. Its quality is average. Reward: One experience orb.]

[One Tier 1 Low-Grade Rejuvenating Grass has been harvested. It is in good condition. Reward: One experience orb.]

[One Tier 1 Low-Grade Rejuvenating Grass has been harvested. It is of superior quality. Reward: One experience orb.]

......

[One Tier 1 Low-Grade Rejuvenating Grass has been harvested. It is in good condition. Reward: One Spirit Energy Cluster.]

One average-quality Rejuvenating Grass, one top-quality Rejuvenating Grass, and the rest are all of good quality Rejuvenating Grass.

The ten light orbs produced by the Rejuvenating Grass total one bottle of Rejuvenating Pill, one spiritual energy orb, one healing orb, and seven experience orbs.

After reaping a considerable number of orbs of light, Lü Ping gradually figured out the reward pattern of the orbs.

Common types include aura clusters, healing aura clusters, and experience aura clusters.

Less common are products like the Rejuvenation Pill produced by the Rejuvenation Grass light cluster and the Spirit Tempering Technique produced by the Spirit Tempering Ganoderma light cluster, which are related to the spirit plants themselves.

The rarest of these is the Sword Essence Finger, which has no connection to the spiritual plant itself.

"Truly, it encompasses everything." Lü Ping remarked, then prepared to get up and head to the inner city of the market.

After harvesting, the Lingzhi mushrooms are only placed in a white jade box to slow down the loss of spiritual energy, which does not have much effect. Since Lingcaotang can collect them, they must have a way to preserve them.

Looking at the once again empty courtyard, Lü Ping felt that something was missing.

Inside the Lingcao Hall.

The young apprentice was still busy among the shelves, while Manager Lu, who had just seen off a customer with a smile, was greeted by the arrival of Lü Ping.

"Hey, kid Lu, how's the harvest?"

"If the quality of the refined spirit mushroom is not good, the old man will not accept it."

As he spoke, Manager Lu seemed to feel a little tired. He picked up a roll of account books and lay down on the armchair in the shop, saying...

"The price of Rejuvenating Grass remains the same as always, one low-grade spirit stone per plant."

"As for the Spirit Ganoderma, it costs two low-grade spirit stones per plant."

Lu Ping smiled without saying a word, and waved the jade box containing the top-quality Rejuvenating Grass in front of Manager Lu.

The top-quality Ganoderma lucidum and the other Ganoderma lucidum were considered losses in this cultivation.

The success rate of cultivating the first-time Spirit Mushroom was 100%, and the fact that it produced a top-quality Spirit Mushroom was simply too astonishing and would easily attract the attention of other cultivators.

There's no guarantee that Manager Lu in front of me won't have some ulterior motives.

As for the Rejuvenating Herb, Lü Ping was well-versed in it and had occasionally cultivated high-quality specimens that were within the acceptable range for Manager Lu.

"This is..." Manager Lu's nose twitched slightly, and he could roughly tell what it was. His body swayed slightly, but he eventually lay back down and put away the account book in his hand.

"Excellent, excellent, indeed, it is top-quality Rejuvenating Herb."

"You kid, it seems you live in a Class C courtyard. The spiritual energy there isn't abundant, and even the spiritual soil there can only barely be considered Class 1."

"In such an environment, you were able to cultivate a top-quality Rejuvenating Herb. It seems that you've really gained some insights from this brush with death."

"These medicinal herbs are valuable whether used as the main ingredient in refining the Rejuvenation Pill or as an auxiliary ingredient in refining other healing pills."

Upon hearing this, the young pharmacists who were organizing the shelves slowed down their work.

Top-quality spiritual herbs are not something you can find all the time.

Hearing Manager Lu's praise, Lü Ping replied with a mixture of sincerity and falsehood.

"It was just a fluke."

"Having walked a line between life and death, I have indeed gained some insights."

I went through a brush with death there, and I died.

Manager Lu sized up Lü Ping and pondered for a moment.

"I'm willing to buy this Rejuvenating Herb for two low-grade spirit stones. What do you think?"

Lu Ping raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything, clearly thinking that the price wasn't good enough.

Manager Lu saw right through Lü Ping's price-manipulation scheme.

"Alright, let's keep the price of Rejuvenating Grass unchanged."

"If you agree, kid, you can sell all the high-quality herbs you cultivate to my Spirit Herb Hall in the future."

"I will buy any of the Spirit Mushrooms you bring that are of acceptable quality for three low-grade spirit stones."

This time, even the young apprentice in the hall could tell that his shrewd manager, Lu, had probably taken a liking to this plant master.

After thinking for a moment, Lü Ping nodded and proposed to buy the same spirit seed as last time.

After offering some discounts, Manager Lu quickly handed him five low-grade spirit stones, fifteen portions of Rejuvenating Grass seeds, and ten portions of Spirit Ganoderma seedlings.

Lu Ping accepted all of these offers without question.

The cultivators in the market all know that doing business with powerful forces can potentially yield a small profit.

But they never lose out!

......

With his pockets bulging, Lü Ping passed by the market for wandering cultivators and intended to buy some demon beast meat, partly to improve his living conditions and partly to deliver to Zhao Dashan's house to thank them for their help during this period.

After thinking it over, Lü Ping decided to give up.

Rather than indulging in gluttony, it's better to keep the spirit stones. Not to mention the immediate problem of not being able to repay Zhao Dashan's spirit stones, the next quarter's immortal residence fee is still unpaid.

Lu Ping walked briskly, and before he even returned to the courtyard, he saw Zhao Dashan standing at the door, carrying a pot of wine and a piece of monster meat wrapped in oil paper.

"Brother Dashan, what's wrong with you...?"

"Hey, Ping, let's go inside and talk..."
