Chapter 47: Spirit Stones
Chapter 47: Spirit Stones
"Top-grade spiritual roots, a big tree attracts the wind and is prone to accidents."
Li Quanqing understood a little: "It would be better to show off my middle-grade spiritual roots to others, to be upright."
Li Quanlin scratched his head: "So the family files won't be changed?"
"Why not change it? If you don't want to change the file, why would I say so much?"
Li Kunli looked at him like he was an idiot and said, "The top-grade spiritual roots are too conspicuous, so we'll try another method."
"For example, change Quanqing's low-grade gold spiritual root to a medium-grade one. Gold and water are combined, and my Li family is good at waterways and has abundant resources. His cultivation speed is comparable to that of a high-grade water spiritual root."
"You can also change your age to a few years older, and report yourself as being in your early twenties when you go out. This way, it will be more authentic and believable."
Li Quanqing nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Good idea. I have always paid attention to my age and never told outsiders when I was out."
"You are a cautious boy, and you have some of my style back then."
Li Kunli gave him two files with an encouraging look. "This is the information you left behind in the family. I took it out specially. Tell me how you want to change it?"
One is a record of Li Quanqing's childhood, and the other is a blank file with nothing written on it.
"Li Quanqing, twelve years old, from the Qingpan Island tribe. His father is Li Yuping and his mother is Li Yuru, both of whom are Qi-refining cultivators of the Li family."
"A medium-grade water spiritual root is three inches and seven points high, a low-grade gold spiritual root is two inches and three points high, and the rest of the spiritual roots are less than an inch high."
The classification of spiritual roots is based on the height of the glow of the spiritual platform.
不足1寸为劣等，1~3寸为下等，3~5寸为中等，5~7寸为上等，7~9寸为地灵根。
Not only is the Heavenly Spiritual Root over 9 inches tall, there is also a Heavenly Spiritual Energy in the body that can assist cultivators in forming the Golden Elixir.
Li Kunli waved his pen and directly changed it to 4.7 inches for the water spiritual root and 4.3 inches for the gold spiritual root, which was definitely above average.
Li Quanlin couldn't help but laugh when he saw this: "These two spiritual roots combined are exactly nine inches, and my junior brother has now become a heavenly spiritual root!"
"Of course not! The first Golden Core True Person of our Li family in the future must be me!"
Li Quanqing chuckled and said this shamelessly.
Seeing that there was no problem, the Third Elder's palm was blazing with flames, and he burned the old files to ashes.
"I have already confirmed that the family steward who measured your spiritual roots has passed away, so there are no major flaws."
Li Kunli always does things in a flawless manner: "The family competition will be held in eight months, how are you preparing?"
After asking this, he couldn't help laughing.
There are only a few people in the entire Quan generation who have reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, and they have always been the winning seeds in previous competitions.
The third elder took out a storage bag and said, "Here, this is your family salary for the next three months, a total of 32 spirit stones."
Li Quanqing opened the bag and was almost blinded by the light: "Why are there so many!"
There are so many of them, at least eight or nine hundred spirit stones!
"Because there are other tribesmen's salaries."
The old man smiled and took out a roll of names: "This time, the family salary distribution, you are responsible for half of the people on Qingpan Island, thank you for your hard work."
Li Quanqing was stunned: "Isn't this the job of a family steward?"
"Once you have reached a certain level of cultivation, you will naturally begin to take on responsibilities."
The third elder patted the boy on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Go ahead and let the tribesmen see the genius of our weapon refining hall!"
Li Quanqing had a bitter face, picked up the storage bag and rushed towards Qingpan Island.
The spirit boat broke through the sea, and the young man took out the roster and looked at the names one by one. Almost all of them were acquaintances, so he easily found their residence.
He soon discovered that distributing salaries was indeed a lucrative job.
Some people have just broken through a small realm, and their salary should be doubled, but they have not yet registered in the Changqing Palace.
There is a lot of room for maneuver here, and there are huge kickbacks.
Li Quanqing looked down upon these spiritual sands and stones, and treated them in a businesslike manner, just as a way of showing off.
Many familiar neighbors were indeed surprised that in the blink of an eye, the orphan of Yuru's family had become the family butler!
“This is family!”
Li Quanqing let out a breath, realizing that the hall master wanted to build momentum for him.
When you are in a family, you cannot just stay out of trouble. You need to build your own team step by step and take charge of the power.
The sea water was roaring, the sky was blue, white clouds were floating, and the spirit boat arrived at a very familiar fish pond.
"Brother Qing, how come you have time to come to this old man's place today?"
Li Kunshui smiled and smoked his pipe, the smoke was faint, and he looked very happy. "I'm here to give Uncle Nineteen this quarter's salary."
"Oh my, this is incredible! In the blink of an eye, Qing Ge'er is going to become a big shot!"
The old man smiled exaggeratedly and had a very good attitude. Although he was nearly a hundred years old, he was still as healthy as a young man.
Li Quanqing was chatting and laughing when he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure in the depths of the fish pond, clumsily fishing for a large black carp.
The big black carps were struggling in the fishing net, making the water boil. They opened their mouths and spit out dense arrows of water, making the man look very embarrassed.
"It turns out this kid is working for my uncle."
The man in the fish pond was my cousin Li Quanzhu.
"His mother came to the old man for help, and I saw that he was indeed a promising talent, so I reluctantly accepted him as an apprentice."
Li Kunshui tapped the pipe in his hand and shouted, "Azhu, your brother is here to see you!"
Li Quanzhu was obviously stunned for a while, then he reluctantly came over with the fishing net and called out reluctantly: "Quanqing...cousin."
"The third level of Qi Refining, the cultivation is not slow."
"I just came from your mother's place, and she didn't tell me this."
Li Quanqing took out two spirit stones and said, "The salary for the third level of Qi Refining is four spirit stones. I will give you the missing one."
"Thank you, brother."
Looking at the white spiritual stones, Li Quanzhu's cry sounded much more natural: "I had a lucky breakthrough two days ago, but I didn't have time to tell her."
The young man stretched out his roughened hand and took the spirit stone. It had been a while since they last met. The boy had grown taller and was a little tanned.
Just like a reef beaten by the waves, there is less childishness and more stability in his expression.
In simple terms, you've grown up.
"Is there any news about your father during this period?"
After a moment of silence, Li Quanqing brought up the topic.
Li Quanzhu shook his head, looking slightly confused.
At the beginning, Li Yuheng took two thousand spirit stones and said that he was going to the Jindan Market to look for a spirit pill that could regenerate severed limbs, but he has not been heard from since.
He didn't even pay back the spiritual stones he owed.
"Before the exact news is passed back to the clan, I will ensure that my uncle's annual salary is distributed to my aunt on time."
Li Quanqing made his own promise.
Li Quanzhu's expression finally relaxed, his brows were raised with joy, and his eyes curved with happiness.
Finally, he looks a bit like the high-spirited middle school boy he used to be.
When Li Quanqing returned to his own fish pond, the sky was already filled with red clouds. The singing of fishermen and farmers as they set off for home could be faintly heard, and the fishing boats were singing in the evening.
"I'm back!"
He howled as usual, but did not see the spirit beasts lining up to welcome him.
Only a few big blue carps poked their heads out and lazily spit arrows of saliva at him.
"What are these guys doing together?"
Li Quanqing stepped on the lotus platform, his clothes fluttering in the wind, like a banished immortal walking on the waves, feeling very free and easy.
He found that the green jade carps had surrounded a large reef, eight agile green water pythons were also there, and golden copper-shelled crabs occupied another area.
This seems to be the place where the longevity turtles are hatched?
Li Quanqing was delighted and was about to go forward to check when he heard a gurgling sound.
A string of bubbles floated up, swaying from the bottom of the water, and an emerald-colored stone as big as a bowl floated up, rising and falling with the waves.
Just as he was wondering, a round and blunt turtle head suddenly popped out, and two black eyes as big as beans blinked and stared at him motionlessly.
[Motionless] Longevity Turtle: "I should be in the mud, not lying on the seafloor, ahhh!"
