Living a peaceful life in the world of cultivation

night.

Quiet room.

Lu Ping absorbed all six portions of spiritual energy produced by the jade carp, and his cultivation level rose again.

"Huh?"

"The spiritual energy cluster produced by the Jade Carp contains more spiritual power than that produced by the Rejuvenating Grass."

"Absorbing the spiritual energy from six portions of the Jade Carp is roughly equivalent to absorbing the spiritual energy from ten portions of the Rejuvenating Grass."

"After absorbing the spiritual energy from the next batch of Rejuvenating Grass, my cultivation will reach the critical point of the fifth level of Qi Refining."

"That will be the time I break through to a higher realm!"

Lu Ping possesses a powerful spiritual sense and remarkable perception, which enables him to make accurate judgments.

To reach the saturation point of my dantian, I need to absorb approximately thirty more portions of spiritual energy produced by the Rejuvenating Grass.

"A rough estimate suggests that it has been about a year since I arrived in Yunzhufang City."

"This year, from the very beginning, the spiritual energy clusters produced by the spring grass greatly helped my cultivation."

"By now, the Spring Grass Spiritual Energy Cluster has become nothing more than a unit of measurement."

Lu Ping shook his head and chuckled. With such a rapid increase in cultivation, no other cultivator, let alone riding the Crimson Scale Demon Horse, could catch up with him, Lu Ping, even if they were riding the Treasure Pavilion's flying boat!

"The Li family led the independent cultivators from the market and the outside cultivators to fight to the death in the Snow Toad Mountains."

"In the end, my cultivation level improved faster than when I stayed in the market."

"Not just cultivation level, but also magical artifacts and treasures..."

As for the rare treasure, Lü Ping disregarded it.

It's not that rare treasures are inferior to magical artifacts; on the contrary, rare treasures are wondrous and their power is unpredictable.

only......

Since everyone here is a freelance cultivator from the market, Lü Ping didn't intend to 'harm' his fellow freelance cultivators too much.

He, Lü, never intended to use a lower-dimensional attack!

"I'll have to wait until I've collected a new round of experience orbs before I start practicing this [Azure Jade Body Tempering Technique]."

The previous batch of experience orbs were used by Lü Ping in the planting spells 【Binghuo Fertilizer Technique】 and 【Spiritual Frost】.

And the results were quite remarkable.

Five orbs of experience were sent down, opening the door to the cultivation of the [Bing Fire Fertilizing Earth Technique].

[Bing Fire Fertilizing Earth Technique] Completed!

By following the same method, the [Spirit-Nourishing Frost] was successfully created!

"We're just waiting for the next batch of chives, or rather, the next batch of spring grass to ripen."

"Tomorrow, please invite Brother Dashan and his family over for fish."

Lu Ping scooped up a jade carp, intending it as Da Huang's midnight snack.

The way Dahuang ate was quite brutal; it opened its mouth and bit off the head of the jade carp.

This way of eating rhubarb...

The next day.

Zhao Dashan and his family of three were invited to come.

Lu Ping arrived at the Spirit Spring and scooped up the jade carp one by one.

Just as they were about to pull Lao Qing out, they encountered Lao Qing struggling with all its might.

"Never mind, one more jade carp won't make a difference."

"Old Qing, you can just stay here."

Lu Ping left Lao Qing behind and handed the five jade carp he had caught to Zhao Dashan.

Zhao Dashan was originally a kitchen helper at Xiangyun Tower. Although he wasn't a master chef, he could easily prepare a simple jade carp.

soon.

The cold jade carp, after being steamed and roasted, becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender and smooth fish meat.

Zhao Xiaofan kept putting fish into his mouth, one chopstick after another.

Lu Ping had a very good relationship with Zhao Dashan's family, and all three of them simply told Zhao Xiaofan to eat slowly.

Seeing Da Huang's eager eyes and mouth, Lü Ping picked out a piece of fish and threw it to Da Huang.

This scene is no different from ordinary life.

While they were eating, Xu Cui suddenly spoke up.

"By the way, Ping, did you know that someone has moved into the courtyard near us?"

Lu Ping was taken aback when he heard this. He really didn't know about this matter, or to be precise, he didn't care.

Whether his new neighbor was male or female, or what his name was, was not important to him, Mr. Lü, a cultivator who was devoted to farming.

"I've seen her; she's a beautiful female cultivator with an excellent figure."

"By the way, Aping, you're thirty-one now. Have you ever thought about finding a partner?"

"If it is, I'll go check it out for you, sister-in-law..."

Xu Cui got more and more excited as she talked, and she even got up to invite the new neighbors over so that everyone could get to know each other.

It seems that for her, cultivating spiritual plants is for a living, while matchmaking is a hobby.

Even Zhao Dashan and Zhao Xiaofan joined in the commotion.

Lu Ping felt somewhat ashamed and immediately stopped Xu Cui.

"Sister-in-law, never mind, I don't have any plans to seek a Daoist partner for the time being."

Furthermore...

"The atmosphere in the market is not right now. If something really happens..."

"If you can't even guarantee your own safety, how can you talk about protecting others?"

Seeing this, Xu Cui was quite sensible and didn't bring up the matter again, nor did she mention the new neighbor next door.

After the meal, the three shared their thoughts on the current situation in the market and then ended their small gathering.

after all.

Compared to the leisurely life of Lü Ping, Zhao Dashan had a proper job at Xiangyun Tower.

After seeing Zhao Dashan's family off, Lü Ping began to tidy up.

Xu Cui wanted to help, but Lü Ping stopped her, saying that the jade carp bones were useful and should be used to cultivate spiritual seeds.

As Lü Ping's spiritual energy surged, he used his manipulation technique to remove the seasonings from the fish bones one by one, and then ground them into bone powder by his spiritual energy.

Bone powder made from the bones of this jade carp can also be considered a type of bone material.

After burying the bone material in the location of the bone-growth grass seedlings, Lü Ping used his cleaning technique to clean away the grease and residue in the bowls and dishes on the stone table.

"These cultivators handle daily chores with remarkable ease."

For some inexplicable reason, Lü Ping wondered if he could go back now and fly on his sword to deliver takeout, and perhaps become the nation's top singlesman.

[Master, this jade carp tastes really good, but I ate it too quickly and didn't really taste it.]

Big Yellow ran over, its tongue lolling out, speaking in a tone that sounded like "Brother Pig".

"Big Yellow, you're not only a silly dog, you're also a glutton."

A moment later.

Lu Ping took Da Huang to the "Complete Spirit Beast Shop".

The reason I brought Big Yellow along is because things haven't been peaceful in the market lately.

Let Big Yellow make its appearance, showcasing the protective strength of Greenwood Courtyard with its first-tier low-grade spirit beast, Wind Chaser.

To prevent some ignorant cultivators from setting their sights on him, Mr. Lü.

A complete collection of spirit beasts.

Lu Ping then purchased ten jade carp from Qi Quan.

"Fellow Daoist Lü, how about it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"The jade carp in my shop has delicious meat and a smooth texture."

"Some cultivators who want to improve their lives will come here to buy a jade carp."

Qi Quan said with a smile, while the black dog he was holding in his arms was being pampered by another dog.

Lu Ping nodded upon hearing this, stroking Big Yellow's head.

"What Fellow Daoist Qi said is true. My dog ​​really craves the taste of this jade carp."

"Fellow Daoist Lü, you've raised your Wind Chaser dog quite well."

"Fellow Daoist Qi, your dog is quite well-raised."

Lu Ping was quite embarrassed because he couldn't recognize the spirit beast in Qi Quan's arms.

After a thorough introduction, it was learned that the black dog in his arms was a cub of the first-tier high-grade spirit beast, the Black Flame Dog, a renowned battle beast among first-tier spirit beasts.

In comparison, rhubarb seems rather ordinary and commonplace.

After leaving the Qiquan Spirit Beast Shop, I hurried back to the Green Wood Courtyard.

Before even entering the Green Wood Courtyard, a female cultivator surrounded by other cultivators approached with graceful steps, her face beautiful and her smile gentle.

"This must be Fellow Daoist Lü. My name is Zeng Xiuxiu, and I haven't been living here for long."

"I intend to hold a private banquet in the courtyard to invite my neighbors and let them get to know each other better."

As Zeng Xiuxiu extended the invitation, a subtle hostility emanated from many of the male cultivators behind her.

Lu Ping's expression remained unchanged, but alarm bells were ringing in his mind.

"My name is Lü Ping. Thank you for your invitation, Fellow Daoist Zeng."

"However, there are still spiritual plants in the lower courtyard that need care, so we'll discuss it another day..."
