Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

123: Raising spirit fish, planting spirit plants, and refining Qi pills”Brother, don’t be angry, I was just asking casually.”

Chen Changsheng said with a chuckle, then he asked in a seemingly casual manner:

”Brother, what price are you selling this half-volume pill manual for?”

The stall owner sighed; this half-volume pill manual had been sitting here for a long time. To say he didn’t want to sell it would be a lie.

”Actually, I don’t want much, just ten thousand Spirit Crystals. You should know that a complete pill manual sells for over a thousand Spirit Stones. I didn’t expect no one to recognize its worth!”

Chen Changsheng pondered for a moment, feeling in his heart that this half-volume pill manual should be real and worth ten thousand Spirit Crystals, so he said to the owner with a smile:

”Boss, I think this pill manual is interesting, so sell it to me!”

The owner looked at Chen Changsheng in surprise and asked, ”This is ten thousand Spirit Crystals, do you really want to buy it?”

Chen Changsheng nodded and said with a smile, ”Really!”

The owner immediately handed the half-volume pill manual to Chen Changsheng quickly and said happily:

”This thing has been with me for a full six months, and today it’s finally sold. Here, it’s yours!”

Chen Changsheng gave a chuckle and had Chuanwu pay the Spirit Crystals to the stall owner. Chuanwu, with a dark face, reluctantly handed over the ten thousand Spirit Crystals to the stall owner.

Chen Changsheng looked at Chen Chuanwu’s dark face and felt awkward, so he stopped wandering the stalls and left the Immortal Market with Chuanwu.

”Eldest, don’t have such a long face. Once Dad researches the Medicinal Pills, won’t we be able to earn a continuous stream of Spirit Crystals?”

Chen Changsheng spoke to Chen Chuanwu while riding his horse toward Jade Dragon Peak.

”Just with that half-volume pill manual of yours, I really don’t think you can research anything good!”

Chuanwu replied in a muffled voice while riding his horse.

”Haha, then let’s wait and see!”

Chen Changsheng laughed loudly, whipped his horse, and sped toward Jade Dragon Peak.

The two first returned their horses at the Black Ice Platform outpost, then headed straight for the summit of Jade Dragon Peak along a small path.

”Call the second brother and have him bring those precious fish to the Spiritual Land!”

Chen Changsheng said to Chuanwu, then took a step ahead to the Spiritual Land behind the waterfall.

There was no one in the Spiritual Land at the moment, so Chen Changsheng could plan it out.

He planted the iron gold bamboo seeds in a corner; its growth conditions were extremely relaxed. As long as there was Spiritual Land, it could grow; things like sunlight and water sources were not important.

Then, Chen Changsheng began digging a pond at the entrance of the cave. He intended to plant the water lily grass here and also raise the Black Carp Spirit Fish in the pond.

After all, such precious Spirit Fish were not very safe to raise outside; it was better to keep them hidden in the cave.

An hour later, Chen Changsheng had dug a large pit, leaving only the filling of water.

At this time, Chuanwu and Chuanwen walked in. Chuanwen was also carrying a large water vat, which contained the Black Carp Spirit Fish he had been raising.

”You two came at the right time. Go to Jade Dragon Pool and get some water to fill the pond. I’m afraid the Black Carp Spirit Fish won’t be able to adapt to the waterfall water, so I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip!”

Chen Changsheng patted the dust off himself and said with a smile.

The two brothers, Chuanwu and Chuanwen, had no choice but to each take a large water vat, go to Jade Dragon Pool to collect water, and then pour it into the pond.

Fortunately, they were both Xiantian Martial Artists. After dozens of trips back and forth, they weren’t exhausted to the point of collapse.

Once everything was ready, Chen Changsheng buried the water lily grass seeds at the bottom of the pond and then released the Black Carp Spirit Fish into it.

”In a month, this pond will be covered with water lilies. From now on, our family’s public business will be planting and selling water lilies!”

Chen Changsheng stood with hands on hips, looking at the pond he had modified, a look of fondness appearing on his face.

”Dad, do you think we should build a few more quiet rooms? Cultivating is a private matter after all, and it’s not ideal for everyone to Cultivate together!”

Chen Chuanwen walked up to Chen Changsheng and offered his suggestion.

Chen Changsheng thought about it and felt that Chuanwen was right. The Qi signatures of two people during the Cultivation process are different; if they clash even slightly, it’s easy for the Cultivation to go wrong.

”In that case, gather Chuanjie and Xiaomeng, and call your eldest brother too. Use the blue stone from the mountain to build five quiet rooms in the Spiritual Land. I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t be joining you!”

Chen Changsheng left the task of building the quiet rooms to Chuanwen and slipped away in a flash.

Chen Chuanwen looked at Chen Changsheng’s retreating back, his face full of confusion as he asked:

”What’s wrong with Dad? Where is he going in such a hurry?”

Beside him, Chuanwu replied with a dark face:

”He’s going to research Alchemy!”

Chuanwen was startled. Alchemy was ranked second among the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation. Had his father actually mastered the skill of Alchemy?

Before Chuanwen could ask further, Chuanwu told Chen Chuanwen about Chen Changsheng buying the half-volume pill manual at the Immortal Market.

Immediately, Chuanwen also had a helpless look. Both he and Chuanwu felt that one couldn’t possibly research anything from half a pill manual.

After leaving the Spiritual Land, Chen Changsheng stepped into his Pill Refining Room, took out that half-volume pill manual, and studied it carefully.

After a long time, his eyes lit up. He had found a fully recorded Medicinal Pill—the qi refining pill.

This recipe recorded all the spiritual plants that needed to be used, it just didn’t record the Alchemy techniques.

Through his own continuous deliberation, combined with the experience support from the pill manual, Chen Changsheng already had a blueprint for a set of Alchemy techniques in his heart.

So Chen Changsheng couldn’t contain himself anymore. Moreover, this qi refining pill only required one type of first-grade spiritual plant, and the other ingredients were mostly ordinary non-grade spiritual plants. The price to get a full set wasn’t expensive, so Chen Changsheng planned to personally try his hand at refining it.

So he called Chuanwu over and told him to go buy ten thousand Spirit Crystals’ worth of Materials. Chuanwu’s face instantly turned into a bitter gourd, but who told Chen Changsheng to be the father?

So Chuanwu could only obediently go buy the Materials.

In the evening, Chuanwu returned, having spent over ten thousand Spirit Crystals, and all the Materials were prepared.

Chen Changsheng immediately entered the Pill Refining Room and began his great undertaking of Alchemy. If the refining was successful this time, Chen Changsheng planned to personally buy some seeds to plant in the Spiritual Land, giving the Chen family another avenue for selling Medicinal Pills in the future.

But things didn’t go as planned; his first batch of Medicinal Pills was ruined.

Chen Changsheng reviewed the process for a long time, and after believing he had identified all the problems, he re-entered the Pill Refining Room.

The result was still failure, but Chen Changsheng was not discouraged and remained full of energy as he threw himself back into his great undertaking of Alchemy.

After every failure, he would take out that Incomplete Manual and study it seriously, only starting to refine pills again once he had found the problem that caused his failure.

Soon, under Chen Changsheng’s extremely rapid consumption, the Materials in his hands also decreased quickly. Soon, only three sets of Materials remained in Chen Changsheng’s hands.

”This time there will definitely be no problem!”

Chen Changsheng, who had been toiling in the Pill Refining Room for a month, looked at the Materials in the Pill Furnace with bloodshot eyes and murmured to himself.
