Gou Zai created a blessed land in the immortal abode

Yue country.

Moon Lake Market.

Inside a pharmacy.

Inside the room, the air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood. Li Chengming held a jade pestle and carefully ground the ingredients in a white jade mortar.

The medicinal herbs in the mortar shimmered with a soft glow, exuding wisps of spiritual energy. As Li Chengming pounded the herbs, he did not forget to breathe deeply.

"Sigh, by grinding stones and refining medicine every day, when will I be able to break through and collect enough spirit stones!"

"Let's not think about it anymore and get on with grinding the medicine."

I'm pounding! I'm pounding and pounding!

Li Chengming's hands moved very quickly; the jade mortar and pestle collided, producing a clear and melodious sound that echoed throughout the room.

Before long, the medicinal herbs were ground into powder. Li Chengming picked up the white jade bottle next to him and carefully poured the powder into it.

Not a single drop could be spilled.

Otherwise, he would lose his daily wage of five taels of rice.

After sealing the white jade bottle, Li Chengming affixed a piece of yellow paper with the words "Qi-restoring powder" written on it.

This bottle of Qi-restoring powder costs about one pound of spiritual rice. After taking it, it can restore one to three-tenths of the spiritual energy of the early stage of Qi Refining within fifteen minutes.

Because of its low price and good results, it is quite popular among independent practitioners in the market.

After grinding the last bottle of medicinal herbs, Li Chengming exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Young Li, here's your pay for today."

The door was pushed open, and an old Taoist priest walked in.

The old Taoist priest was dressed in a dark green robe, and his body exuded a refreshing herbal scent.

It was Kong Shaowen, the steward of this pharmacy.

Li Chengming took the bag and weighed it in his hand.

It weighs six ounces.

He looked up in surprise.

Kong Shaowen smiled and waved his hand:

"Young Li, are you truly unwilling to become a medicine boy in my Kong family?"

"If you are willing to come, I will grant you eighteen catties of spirit rice every month."

Eighteen catties of spirit rice!

That's no small amount.

However, Li Chengming shook his head and said:

"I am grateful for Confucius's kindness, but I am used to being free and undisciplined and do not wish to be restrained."

"You're not even tempted by eighteen catties of spirit rice? That's quite something, kid."

Kong Shaowen stroked his beard, not annoyed, but simply shook his head and smiled.

"Fine, fine, go ahead. But let me make this clear: if you ever change your mind, the door of the Kong family will always be open for you."

Li Chengming bowed in thanks, tucked the six ounces of spirit rice into his pocket, and turned to leave the pharmacy.

Yuehu Market is not large; a bluestone road runs through it from north to south, with shops of varying heights on both sides.

As dusk approached, the crowds in the market gradually thinned out, leaving only a few independent cultivators setting up stalls to hawk their poor-quality spiritual plants and fragments of magical artifacts.

Li Chengming didn't rush back. Instead, he walked along the stone-paved road to the end of the market and squatted down in front of an inconspicuous stall.

"How much is wood ash worth today?"

The stall owner glanced at Li Chengming twice and said with a smile:

"One pound of wood ash is equivalent to two ounces of spirit rice."

"Too expensive."

Li Chengming shook his head. "I want ten catties, how about one catty and six ounces of spirit rice?"

The stall owner hesitated for a moment, looked up at the sky, and realized that if he couldn't sell the wood ash today, he would be stuck with the stall fee.

So he nodded and said:

"Alright, one jin and six liang it is."

After the delivery was completed, Li Chengming went to the edge of the island and took a small boat to row to the shore.

Rogue cultivators like him live in small courtyards along the shore of Moon Lake. The rent is cheap here; even the best courtyard only costs less than ten catties of spirit rice per month.

After returning to the house, Li Chengming first washed up, and then sat cross-legged on the bed.

He closed his eyes and focused his mind.

In an instant, the world spun around.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a completely different world.

Amidst the vast white mist, the green mountains rapidly faded away, leaving only empty peaks.

This is the cheat code that Li Chengming awakened when he transmigrated to this world.

Immortal Abode!

Although the immortal abode is currently empty, it is still possible to construct many buildings.

For example, thatched huts, sacred fields, and animal pens.

Thatched Hut: Ordinary

[Current effect: Calms the mind, enhances alertness...]

[Requirements for establishment: 10 catties of spirit wood, 3 catties of spirit iron, and 1 piece of warm jade]

……

[Spirit Field: Common Grade]

[Current effect: The growth cycle of the spirit plant has been accelerated by 10%]

[Requirements for creation: 30 catties of spirit soil (already completed), 10 catties of wood ash]

……

[Animal Pen: Common]

[Current effect: Can tame mid-stage Qi Refining level demonic beasts, and enhance their intelligence...]

[Requirements for establishment: 10 catties of spirit wood, 5 catties of spirit iron, and 5 pieces of demonic saliva jade]

In addition, there are many other buildings such as stoves and fish ponds.

The first building Li Chengming chose to establish was naturally the Spirit Field.

After all, cultivating immortality requires wealth, methods, companions, and a suitable environment.

Wealth is paramount.

Once a spirit field is established, spirit plants can be grown, providing a stable source of income in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Chengming exhaled, and something resembling a blueprint appeared in his hand.

A phantom image appeared before them, which was a field about an acre in size.

Li Chengming selected a spot and then silently recited in his mind:

"Establish!"

The next instant, a dazzling white light flashed.

Suddenly, an acre of spiritual field appeared on the originally barren mountain peak.

The soil was dark and moist; you could tell it was top-quality land just by touching it.

"It's done!"

"After traveling through time, I finally have my own land!"

In his past life, he was driving home when he unfortunately broke down on a section of national highway. He was thinking of hitchhiking home.

As a result, a large truck came towards him, and when he woke up again, he found that he had been reborn in an ancient region called Yue.

Orphaned and orphaned, yet fortunate to have found a connection with the immortals.

Then he spent several years in Yuehu City, cultivating and accumulating resources.

All for today!

After all, in a world where cultivation resources are controlled by powerful families and immortal sects, the difficulty of owning a spiritual field of one's own is unimaginable.

The difficulty of it is self-evident.

"Now we can start preparing to plant the medicinal herbs!"

Li Chengming worked at the pharmacy for several months. In addition to pounding medicine, he also learned a lot about medicinal herbs and knew the cultivation methods for no less than ten kinds of medicinal herbs.

It can be said that Li Chengming had been preparing for this day for a long time.

"But what kind of medicinal herbs should we plant?"

Li Chengming recalled several medicinal herbs that were commonly found in pharmacies.

The Spirit Gathering Grass has a growth cycle of sixty days and requires spirit fields, spirit water, and wood ash. Once mature, it can be used to refine Spirit Gathering Pills.

The 'Returning Flower' has a 60-day growth cycle and high yield, but it requires careful care and is prone to pests.

The 'Yun Gen Guo' fruit has a growth cycle of 120 days and yields high returns, but requires a large initial investment.

After thinking for a long time, Li Chengming finally decided to plant the Spirit Gathering Grass.

Spirit Gathering Grass is the most commonly used cultivation aid among Qi Refining stage cultivators, with high demand and stable sales.

It can be used to grind "Qi-Returning Powder" and as an auxiliary medicine in the refining of "Qi-Condensing Pill".

Several pharmacies in Yuehufang Market buy from her year-round, and the prices are transparent. Depending on the quality, the price of one mu of spirit-gathering grass from a spirit field is roughly between fifty and sixty jin of spirit rice.

That is roughly half a spirit stone.

The cycle is sixty days, but thanks to the effects of the Immortal Abode Spirit Field, it only takes fifty-four days.

Fifty catties of spirit rice would have taken him a hundred days to earn in the past!

It took almost twice as long.

This is the difference between cultivators with land and cultivators without land.
