Living a peaceful life in the world of cultivation

The arrival of the bluefish and carp adds a touch of vitality and charm to the gushing spring.

The seven jade carp, about the length of an index finger, have scales that resemble naturally formed jade, with fine, layered scales.

The fish swayed its tail as it swam in the spiritual spring, its body radiating a faint spiritual light.

A jade carp opened its mouth and exhaled a small bubble. The bubble floated to the surface and was popped by Big Yellow's claw.

Even a few Fire Feather Chickens strolled over, their heads bobbing up and down, curiously watching the jade carp fry in the spiritual spring.

[Blue carp and common carp, low-grade first-tier spirit fish.]

[Gentle in nature, it prefers to live in waters rich in spiritual energy and enjoys consuming spiritual plants and herbs rich in spiritual energy.]

Once mature, the fish bones and scales can be used as materials for crafting weapons; the fish meat is tender, delicious, and smooth to the taste.

"The Complete Spirit Beast Shop" is truly admirable; it seems the Jade Carp's meat is indeed of excellent quality.

Inside the spiritual spring, seven jade carp swam carefree, being watched by the fire-feathered chicken, Dahuang. Suddenly, Dahuang felt its scales tighten, its tail flicked, and it darted out of Dahuang's sight.

【bubble......】

【Wu, a spring full of spiritual energy.】

I, a fish, will transform into a dragon! I desire to become a dragon!

Ok?

Following the sound in his heart, Lü Ping found the jade carp that was about to transform from a fish into a dragon.

This jade carp was slightly smaller than its kin. While its kin swam around, it opened its mouth and blew bubbles, inhaling and exhaling the spiritual energy from the spring.

"Ambitious."

Lu Ping sighed, but transforming into a dragon was no simple matter.

Among demonic beasts and spirit beasts, bloodline origin is the most important, as it often defines the level of a demonic beast or spirit beast.

Transformation into a dragon?

Long Ke is a renowned descendant of true spirits in the cultivation world.

Although there are no descendants of the true dragon within the territory of Yue, the dragon's fame has been passed down for generations.

Let's look at the jade carp again.

First-tier low-grade bloodline...

"Old Qing, I believe in you."

Lu Ping named the ambitious jade carp "Old Green," and named the other jade carp "One, Two, Three, Four, Five."

After feeding the jade carp, I checked the spiritual plants in the spiritual soil as usual.

Compared to the jade carp, the spiritual plants in the spiritual soil are of paramount importance.

Lu Ping got up, removed the beast bones surrounding the Bone-Giving Grass, and replaced them with a new batch. He then drew upon the spiritual spring water to irrigate the Rejuvenating Grass and the Nourishing Essence Ganoderma. He cast the spell [Spirit-Nourishing Frost] to cover the roots of the Cloud-Patterned Bamboo, promoting its root growth. From the Thunderwood, he drew an electric arc to sharpen the Iron Sword Orchid.

"Grandpa Thunderwood" is unusually quiet today, having fallen into a deep sleep.

[Growing condition is good.]

Seeing that Lei Mingmu was alright, Lü Ping was relieved.

He was about to get up and sweep the courtyard.

A pale yellow communication talisman landed in my hand.

"Is Aping home?"

The person who came was Zhao Dashan.

Lu Ping led him into the courtyard, laid out fruits and vegetables, and brewed a pot of spiritual tea.

"This courtyard is nice, but every time I come to see you, Ah Ping, I have to use a sound transmission talisman."

"Ah Ping, have you heard?" Zhao Dashan took a sip of spiritual tea, smacked his lips, and was still shaken. "It's said that there have been problems with the second phase of land reclamation in the Snow Toad Mountains."

"Even the Li family has many cultivators who are seriously injured and have to return to the market for recuperation."

As Zhao Dashan spoke, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

If he hadn't heeded Lü Ping and Xu Cui's advice and had insisted on participating in the second phase of land reclamation and heading to the Snow Toad Mountains, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

It should be noted that even the Li family has a cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining who was severely injured by a demonic beast in the Snow Toad Mountain Range.

Zhao Dashan, a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining, was preparing...

"I've heard about it." Lu Ping paused for a moment. In fact, he already knew some of the inside story about the Yunzhu Li family's land reclamation being hindered while he was in the Lingcao Hall.

"I heard that the stronghold in front of the Snow Toad Mountains was attacked by what appears to be a second-tier demonic beast. The stronghold was destroyed and many cultivators died on the spot."

Zhao Dashan leaned closer and said mysteriously.

Second-tier demonic beasts are Foundation Establishment demonic beasts, corresponding to Foundation Establishment True Cultivators among cultivators.

Such monstrous beasts pose a devastating threat to any newly established stronghold.

At the same cultivation level, second-tier demonic beasts, due to their powerful physical bodies and the numerous battles they have experienced during their growth, are more likely to defeat ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators in a sudden clash or battle.

However, if a Foundation Establishment cultivator is prepared and sets up an array in advance, and purchases talismans and pills, the chances of a Foundation Establishment cultivator trapping and killing a second-tier demon beast are quite high.

Most cultivators, when capturing demonic beasts, intend to kill them without causing harm. When faced with fearless demonic beasts, they become hesitant and create the impression that demonic beasts are generally stronger than cultivators.

But what does all this have to do with him, Mr. Lü?

Seeing that Zhao Dashan still looked shaken, Lü Ping offered words of comfort.

Zhao Dashan was also relieved that he had stopped being blinded by greed and desire for profit.

Thinking of his wife and children at home, Zhao Dashan chatted with Lü Ping for a while before rushing home to chat with Xu Cui and urge Zhao Xiaofan to study.

After seeing Zhao Dashan off, Lü Ping's life returned to normal.

Feed the Jade Carp, wait for the new Fire Feather Chicken to hatch, and tease Big Yellow; as for cultivating spiritual plants, draw spiritual spring water daily to water the Rejuvenating Grass and Nourishing Yuanzhi; draw electric arcs to temper the leaves of Iron Sword Orchid; adjust the Na Yin array to create a comfortable cultivation environment for Thunderwood; and use [Spirit Frost] to cultivate Cloud Pattern Bamboo.

When I have some free time, I sweep the courtyard and cultivate my mind and character.

Early July.

Within Yunzhu Market, news of the Yunzhu Li family's failed land reclamation and heavy losses, which had been circulating as a rumor, became a topic of conversation among many cultivators.

Even the Li family of Yunzhu did not step forward to stop the matter from escalating. Most cultivators in the market estimated that the Li family was already overwhelmed.

mid-July.

Lu Ping, who was playing with Da Huang, suddenly felt a pang of fear, put Da Huang down, and looked towards the direction of Yunzhu Mountain.

Even with my late-stage Qi Refining spiritual sense, I felt a pang of fear.

"Could it be that the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Yunzhu Li family have been mobilized?"

Is it true that the initial exploration was attacked by a suspected second-tier monster?

Lu Ping shook his head, put down Dahuang, and fed the jade carp in the spiritual spring, as well as the fire-feathered chicken that had been born some time ago.

End of July.

Within Yunzhufang City, a familiar Foundation Establishment energy fluctuation could be felt.

Li Chihuo, the Foundation Establishment ancestor of the Yunzhu Li family who was in charge of the market, transformed into a streak of crimson light and sped towards the Snow Toad Mountain Range in front of all the cultivators in the market.

in this way.

This basically confirms that the previous rumors were true: the second phase of the land reclamation was halted by the attack of demonic beasts, resulting in the deaths of many cultivators who were buried in the Snow Toad Mountains!

In an instant.

An extremely oppressive atmosphere lingered throughout Yunzhufang City and among the relatives of the pioneering cultivators.

The arrival of the Foundation Establishment Ancestor of the Li family shattered the cultivators' illusions about the initial breakthrough, bringing them back to the cold and cruel reality of the Snow Toad Mountains from the initial bounty of the first breakthrough.

recently.

As Lü Ping walked through the market, he could occasionally hear suppressed sobs.

However, what does this have to do with him, Mr. Lü?

What obstacles did the second phase of land reclamation encounter? Why did the Foundation Establishment Ancestor of the Yunzhu Li Family go to the Snow Toad Mountains?

Lu Ping was not interested in any of these things, because he had never had the slightest intention of participating in the land reclamation.

Amidst the commotion from the outside world, he peacefully farmed...
