Chapter 26 The Difference Between Immortals and Mortals
Lingzhi Peak is incredibly vast.
It is just one peak, yet it is comparable to the peninsula of the past.
If one does not reach the late stage of Qi Refining and learn the ability to manipulate objects, it will take several days to even get from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside with only the initial cultivation level.
Fortunately, I don't need to do everything myself.
Lu Qingyun cast a [Dust Removal] spell on the small house.
The mortal spirit farmers arranged by the sect will arrive soon, and the spirit plant output that needs to be handed over will be calculated starting next month.
Lu Qingyun did not request too many maids, but only asked Lingyuan Palace to arrange one to take care of his daily life. The rest of them should be male.
While planting spirit plants, one can use the three commonly used spirit plant techniques: [Minor Cloud Rain Technique], [Minor Insect Removal Technique], and [Minor Spirit Gathering Technique].
However, before the later stages of Qi cultivation, sowing and harvesting still require the assistance of mortal spiritual farmers.
Moreover, these three techniques still consume too much of Lu Qingyun's mana at his current level.
If you try to do everything yourself, you'll probably exhaust yourself first.
Applying for some males to serve as barons would be just right.
After tidying up the small house a bit, Lu Qingyun searched for some spirit wood outside and built a beehive.
A moment later,
Once the hive was built, he placed the Golden Spirit Peak, which he had brought from the Miscellaneous Peak, inside it.
The trip to the Yunxia Mountains has proven the reliability of the Golden Spirit Bee.
Lu Qingyun planned to properly train these spirit bees as his trump card.
According to the "Sun Chang's Beast Taming Notes", if the Golden Spirit Bee is properly nurtured, it can break through to the late stage of Qi Refining. If it is given the opportunity to be fed with rare gold, it can even mutate into the Golden Xuanjia Bee.
Lu Qingyun was also looking forward to it.
He naturally dared not hope for the Golden Spirit Bee to mutate; he only hoped it could still improve.
"It's a pity that my family is poor, otherwise I could have bought some spirit beast pills to help the spirit bees advance."
Lu Qingyun shook his head.
In fact, it's not just spirit bees that need spirit stones these days.
His spiritual root is primarily wood with secondary metal, making him not a top choice for cultivating the "Ancient Wood Longevity Technique." As he enters the third level of Qi Refining, the effect of the Spirit-Seizing Method becomes increasingly diminished.
Lu Qingyun clearly felt a decrease in his cultivation speed.
Fortunately, the threat posed by the black-robed deacon has lessened somewhat.
He did not have a need to rapidly improve his cultivation level.
Otherwise, even if he wanted to find a female cultivator with high cultivation level to practice the dual cultivation technique in the "Longevity Technique", he wouldn't have enough spirit stones.
a few days later.
The Lingyuan Palace dispatched a flying boat to bring Lingnong and his maidservant.
The maid's name was Qiuju.
She was not bad looking, quiet and charming, but unfortunately she had no cultivation, which always made Lu Qingyun feel that she lacked a bit of spirituality.
In terms of personality, he also appears somewhat timid.
Her watery eyes darted cautiously at Lu Qingyun, looking rather bewildered.
"I am devoted to cultivation and do not need your service. My clothes can be cleaned by magic. You only need to clean the area around the hut."
Lu Qingyun handed over the instructions and arranged good deeds for each of the farmers.
It's clear that this master is not a harsh person.
See here,
The farmers and Qiuju both breathed a sigh of relief.
Except for Qiuju, they were all assigned to courtyard houses far away from the hut.
These courtyards were originally left by the cultivators and were intended for these mortal spiritual farmers.
Lu Qingyun arranged for the anxious Qiuju to stay in a side room next to the small house, but did not let her stay in the small house.
Qiuju felt both relieved and conflicted about this.
Fortunately, the immortal master did not want her.
The same applies to the complex.
This feeling of being ignored left her feeling very confused.
You should know that in the mortal world, she was once a young lady from a wealthy family. After her family fell into ruin, she entered the brothel and was coveted by some people.
……
After giving his instructions, Lu Qingyun arrived at the edge of the spirit field.
At the edge of the cloud cliff,
Looking at the sea of clouds before him, Lu Qingyun sat quietly in meditation.
He wouldn't presume to guess what the maid was thinking.
Now, I have gained a freedom I never imagined in my previous life, and I have obtained the maid and spiritual field that I once dreamed of.
But Lu Qingyun felt little joy.
Why is that?
Lu Qingyun murmured to himself, but his heart was calm.
He vaguely had some answers.
Perhaps this is what those scientists of my past lives referred to as evolution at the level of life itself.
The difference between him and Vannon was almost insurmountable.
If you wish, with just the naked eye,
By activating the incantation, he could see the dust on the bodies of those ordinary farmers.
They saw the filth and uncleanliness that ordinary people couldn't see.
The freedom they craved, the beautiful women and fine wine they desired, were all readily available to him.
If he thought Qiuju wasn't pretty enough, he could even ask Lingyuan Palace to provide him with a prettier maid.
"No wonder they say few cultivators indulge in women. So, I've already transcended the boundaries between mortal and immortal realms?"
Seeing the dust on those ordinary women, seeing them relentlessly pursuing false desires, how could one possibly be moved or passionately in love with them?
Compared to physical beauty, the pleasure derived from the spiritual energy flowing through the body, and the sensation it brings to every inch of skin, is far more intoxicating.
As long as you don't encounter any bottlenecks, cultivating yourself will bring you far more joy than so-called romantic love.
Lu Qingyun seemed to be deep in thought, then closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
"Every kind of happiness in the mortal world has an end, but only the path of immortality, only eternal life, is eternal and boundless, and is worth pursuing for hundreds or even thousands of lifetimes."
……
A few days later, Lu Qingyun gradually got used to life in the spirit field.
"Elder Chu is indeed extraordinary; this method of cultivating spiritual plants is far more detailed than he described."
Looking at the Lingnong experience points he had exchanged, Lu Qingyun felt a surge of emotion.
Elder Chu meticulously recorded almost all the methods for cultivating mid-grade spiritual plants.
As long as he follows the example, even if he doesn't reap a bountiful harvest, he can at least make enough to pay the monthly requirement of spirit rice, which is more than enough.
Directing the farmers to plant the white corn seeds, Lu Qingyun began his peaceful cultivation life.
but,
This calm did not last long.
Beside the sacred field.
A new neighbor moved into Lingtian, across the lake.
Moreover, she was an acquaintance of Lu Qingyun.
"Junior Brother Lu seems quite relaxed and carefree here. It's just a pity I couldn't have come earlier to keep him company."
Zhao Qingxuan blinked and looked at Lu Qingyun.
She smiled gently, like a lotus in bloom. Her long blue dress fluttered in the wind, and even after several days, her temperament had become even more extraordinary.
"Senior Sister actually came to Spirit Plant Peak. I thought she would choose Pill Peak instead."
Lu Qingyun looked at Zhao Qingxuan's beautiful face, which was sweet and lovely, but he didn't feel much joy.
He naturally didn't believe that the other party had come to Spirit Plant Peak because they liked farming.
He didn't want to cause trouble for himself and had no intention of getting intimate with her.
Zhao Qingxuan's cultivation has reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, and her behavior of staying on the Miscellaneous Service Peak some time ago may not have been unfounded.
Thinking of the conflict between the Zhao and Zhang families in Danfeng, Lu Qingyun felt a headache coming on.
I just hope that these two behemoths won't get involved in this.
"Junior brother, don't you welcome your senior sister here?"
Upon hearing Lu Qingyun's words, Zhao Qingxuan feigned sadness and sighed:
"If given the chance, Senior Sister would also love to go to Pill Peak, but unfortunately there are villains lurking there, so she has to come to Spirit Plant Peak to cultivate in peace and find some help along the way."
As she spoke, Zhao Qingxuan's beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Qingyun's, and she said pitifully, "I suppose you're willing to help me, Junior Brother?"
