Mortal Seeking Immortal

One night passed.

As soon as the sky brightened, Ye Zhou finished his meditation, got up and washed up as usual, and took care of the medicine field.

Since he successfully cultivated spiritual power last night and entered the first stage of Qi training, Ye Zhou found that his perception had improved, his mind was clearer than before, and he was a little faster in identifying spiritual herbs.

He knew that these were all the benefits of cultivation.

From today on, Ye Zhou began to take care of the medicine field and identify spiritual herbs during the day, and swallow spiritual herbs to practice at night.

Because the medicine garden is in the back mountain of the Blood Spirit Sect, it is rarely visited, and there is a formation outside to protect it. Ye Zhou does not have to worry about someone breaking in and disturbing his practice. As for Shu Lao, he has never seen Shu Lao since he came to the medicine garden as a handyman.

A month has passed before he knows it.

It is night.

Ye Zhou was sitting cross-legged in the room with his eyes closed, practicing with a serious expression. A few faint spiritual energy emanated from his body. Next to him, there was a whole box of green blood grass fruits, which emitted a crystal light under the moonlight.

An hour later, as the last trace of spiritual power flowed back to Dantian, the spiritual power in Ye Zhou's body had become as thick as a little finger.

He opened his eyes in surprise!

After working hard for a month, he finally reached the second level of Qi training today!

This couldn't help but make Ye Zhou excited.

After all, he was still a child. He walked around the room excitedly, and even wanted to find someone to share his joy. When he opened the door and was blown by the night wind, he woke up and realized his situation.

He was now in the Blood Spirit Sect, not in a small mountain village, and there was no playmate to share his joy with him.

Suppressing the trace of loss in his heart, closing the door, Ye Zhou continued to meditate without wasting a moment.

Without the small gourd to cultivate spiritual herbs, with his useless spiritual roots, he might not be able to enter the second stage of Qi training even if he practiced hard for another three years.

He now has a clearer understanding of the importance of the small gourd. In addition, he has been reading pamphlets recently to increase his knowledge. Ye Zhou is sure that the small gourd is the treasure of the world of cultivation!

Once it spreads, the whole world of cultivation will go crazy for it.

Ye Zhou picked up a green blood grass fruit and swallowed it in one gulp, wanting to take the opportunity to consolidate the second stage of Qi training.

Two hours later, Ye Zhou opened his eyes and looked at the green blood grass fruit in the wooden box with a strange expression.

Usually swallowing a green blood grass fruit can at least guarantee the spiritual energy he needs for four hours of cultivation. Today, after only two hours, the spiritual energy in his body has been consumed.

Although he had expected this situation, he had just entered the second stage of Qi training, and the spiritual energy required doubled, which could not help but make him shocked.

At the same time, he was also thinking, is it that his body has developed resistance to the green blood grass fruit, or is it that the spiritual energy required for cultivation is also increasing as his cultivation level improves?

Ye Zhou, still a child, naturally couldn't figure out this question, but if he couldn't figure it out, he would stop thinking about it.

In his opinion, he still had a lot of green blood grass fruits to swallow. Even if the effect was halved, he could just increase the dosage and the spiritual energy supply would naturally keep up.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou began to swallow two green blood grass fruits at a time.

Such a wasteful behavior would definitely be called wasteful by other immortal cultivators if they saw it!

Most cultivators use spiritual medicine to make pills to enhance the efficacy after getting it, and then take the pills.

But Ye Zhou didn't care about waste at all. With the small gourd in hand, the spiritual medicine that seemed precious to outsiders was no different from ordinary herbs to him.

It would be better to have pills to eat, but he didn't have the conditions now.

For things like alchemy, you have to wait until you become an outer disciple before you are qualified to enter the alchemy pavilion to learn alchemy.

After swallowing two green blood grass fruits, he felt that the spiritual energy in his body surged again, and immediately operated the skills and began to practice.

After a night, before dawn, Ye Zhou finished his training early.

Opening the door, Ye Zhou saw that Mr. Shu had come at some point, and was startled. Thinking that he had hidden the fruit of the green blood grass in his storage bag, he walked forward with confidence.

"Mr. Shu."

Walking closer, Ye Zhou saluted Mr. Shu respectfully, and saw Mr. Shu carefully checking the various spiritual herbs planted in the medicine field.

Due to Ye Zhou's careful care during this period of time, the spiritual herbs in the medicine field have grown very well. Some spiritual herbs that were about to wither before have now magically come back to life and are full of vitality.

Originally, Mr. Shu was a little worried about whether Ye Zhou could take good care of his spiritual herbs, but now he has finally dispelled some of his concerns.

His attitude towards Ye Zhou has also eased a little, not as cold as before.

"Well, I can see that you have been taking care of the medicine field very hard during this period of time. This is a reward for you." Mr. Shu praised Ye Zhou casually, and waved his hand to throw him ten low-grade spiritual stones.

Looking at the ten pieces of inferior spiritual stones in his hand, Ye Zhou was excited. He didn't expect that Mr. Shu would be so generous.

Any reward could be equivalent to the spiritual stones of ordinary chores for five months. No wonder Zhao Xu went to great lengths to come to Mr. Shu's courtyard to work as a chores.

Putting the spiritual stones into the storage bag, Ye Zhou respectfully thanked Mr. Shu for the reward.

"Little boy, a month has passed. How many kinds of spiritual herbs in this medicine field have you remembered?" Mr. Shu asked casually after looking at the spiritual herbs in the courtyard for a while.

"I have remembered all the spiritual herbs planted in the first half of the medicine field." Ye Zhou answered truthfully. In order not to lose his life, he dared not slack off in this month.

"Did you really remember half of them?" Mr. Shu looked at Ye Zhou with a little surprise.

There are not thousands of spiritual herbs in his medicine field, but there are eight or nine hundred. It is still a little difficult for ordinary people to remember half of the spiritual herbs in just one month.

Seeing Ye Zhou nod and not seeming to be lying, Old Shu continued: "Then let me test you, what is the name of the spiritual herb near the corner?"

"Orchid grass, likes shade, needs to be planted in a dark and humid place, and watered once every morning and evening." Ye Zhou glanced at the medicinal field and answered immediately, not only saying the name of the spiritual herb, but also saying the cultivation method.

"What is the name of the medicinal herb on the far left of the second row of the second medicinal field on the right?" Old Shu showed a hint of satisfaction in his eyes at Ye Zhou's answer, but it was fleeting, and he continued to ask.

"Kuxia grass, likes heat, needs to be planted in a place exposed to the scorching sun, and watered once a month." Ye Zhou said without changing his expression.

Then Old Shu asked Ye Zhou several more spiritual herbs, and Ye Zhou answered them all smoothly, and his answers were all correct.

Old Shu nodded slightly and stroked his beard.

"You are a down-to-earth kid. You can go into the locked room in the courtyard now and read more about the knowledge of spiritual medicine inside."

"I will refine the elixir in a month. You need to add medicine and firewood. So before that, you must remember every spiritual medicine in my courtyard. If you add the wrong spiritual medicine and refine a useless elixir..."

"I will throw you into the elixir furnace to refine it together to make up for the loss."

After saying this, Mr. Shu threw a key to Ye Zhou and turned around to fly away on the gourd.
