Chapter 9 Foolish Master

Chapter 9 Foolish Master

When Li Shiyin came out of the research building, she saw Kieran holding a hoe and digging soil on the river bank, right next to the green grass that she didn't recognize.

She came over to this side of the river and asked, "Master, what are you planting?"

"Grow some Crane's Crown Immortal Grass..." Qin Ran replied, put away the hoe, took out a porcelain vase from the Qiankun bag, poured out a few milky white seeds with black spots, spread them out and signaled to Li Shiyin, " These are the seeds of Crane Crown Immortal Grass. They are very expensive. Just this bottle costs less than fifty seeds and you will get ten low-grade spiritual stones.”

Li Shiyin knew that spirit stones were very precious. In the mortal world, it was basically hard to find even one stone. Now it was just a few seeds, which cost ten spirit stones, so she asked again: "What does this grass mean? What does it do? Is it valuable?”

"Crane Crown Immortal Grass. When this kind of grass grows up, the tips of the grass will bend down and turn white, just like the head of a crane. It is very beautiful." Qin Ran replied, "These are the three main herbs for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. One, nature is precious.”

"Foundation Pill?"

"Some monks have poor talents and may not be able to build a foundation. The foundation building pill will greatly increase their probability of building a foundation." Qin Ran answered all questions.

Li Shiyin nodded, pointed at the green grass beside Qin Ran, and asked, "What kind of fairy grass is this?"

Qin Ran cast his eyes to the side, his expression changed slightly, and he replied: "This is the Awakening Grass."

"What does the Awakening God Grass do?"

"God-awakening grass..." God-awakening grass is used to refine spirit-melting elixirs, but Qin Ran didn't answer that way. He only said, "God-awakening grass is very good for the soul."

"Oh!" Li Shiyin didn't notice anything was wrong with Qin Ran. She laughed and said, "So this is how the grass jelly is grown. My dad grows flowers like this at home."

"There is no need to think of the fairy grass as too noble. For example, the Awakening God Grass does not have high environmental requirements and can indeed be grown like this." Qin Ran explained casually, squatting down and pouring the seeds of the Crane Crown Fairy Grass. Ke entered the newly dug pit and said, "But you can't plant Crane's Crown Fairy Grass like this. Crane's Crown Fairy Grass likes the sun and good water, so it's best to plant it in a sunny wetland. Ordinary soil won't do. You have to use spiritual soil. It’s really noble.”

This statement made Li Shiyin very puzzled: "Then why do you still do this, master?"

"Hmm..." Qin Ran pondered for a moment, then replied, "Because of poverty."

"poverty?"

"Spiritual soil is too expensive and I can't afford it." Qin Ran said, "I can only try to plant it."

As he spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle from the Qiankun bag, poured it on the seeds, poured a few drops of turbid water on the seeds, and explained to Li Shiyin, "This is specially made by me. Well, let's call it spiritual water." . It is to extract the nutrients needed by spiritual stones and some plants into the water."

After receiving the "spiritual water", he smiled and said, "I'm just going to do an experiment to see if there is no spiritual soil and I can grow fairy grass with only the spiritual water."

The master is really knowledgeable! so amazing! Amazing! Li Shiyin once again exclaimed in her heart.

"By the way..." Qin Ran stood up, buried the soil gently with a hoe, and asked Li Shiyin, "How many books did you read just now?"

The admiration in Li Shiyin's eyes suddenly disappeared, and she looked aside indifferently.

Qin Ran looked up and saw her look, how could he not understand? He didn't ask any questions, buried the soil, put the shovel aside, and squatted by the river to wash his hands.

"If you don't understand the direction of meridians and the location of acupuncture points, you will definitely not be able to practice..." He soaked his hands in the cold river water and said, "I mean you can't practice, not that you can't make elixirs. You know what I mean. ?"

"Can't make elixir? Can't practice?" Li Shiyin didn't understand and shook her head.

Qin Ran sighed secretly, feeling that he had accepted an idiot disciple. Why did he think she was a cold goddess yesterday? It had only been a day, but he was so stupid that he almost collapsed.

He explained patiently: "You can't practice. Maybe you can feel the qi in your body, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, but you can't drive them! Don't you understand this?"

"But master..." Li Shiyin was a little frightened by Qin Ran's collapse and speechlessness. She did not dare to speak loudly, so she only whispered, "I can already activate the innate energy in my body."

"An?" Qin Ran was stunned for a moment, thinking that he heard wrongly. Then he felt that Li Shiyin was lying to him, and he became really angry, "Tell me, how do you drive the energy of heaven and earth?"

"Just... like that, just like what the book says, put your five hearts in the sky, then put your tongue on the roof of your mouth, close your eyes, and imagine the feeling of Qi flowing from the center of your eyebrows to your body and limbs, that's it... "Li Shiyin replied weakly. She closed her eyes, as if she was driving the innate Qi in her body. "There is really a flow of Qi moving in my body. From the sea of ​​Qi that the master said, to here..." She pointed. On his left rib, "to the Tanzhong point, and then to the left hand..."

She pointed it out for Qin Ran one by one, entering with the left hand, exiting with the left hand, entering with the right hand, exiting with the right hand, and finally returning to the sea of ​​qi, forming a perfect cycle.

Looking at Li Shiyin's appearance, Qin Ran realized that she might not be lying, it seemed that she had really started practicing. He quickly crossed the river and came to the other side of the river. Without saying a word, he picked up Li Shiyin's wrist, closed his eyes and examined it carefully, and found that there was indeed air surging in her body, following the trajectory of the basic skills.

He opened his eyes wide, filled with disbelief, and asked: "Have you... practiced cultivation before, or..."

"Master, didn't you give me the "Basic Exercises" last night?" Li Shiyin looked at the wrist that Qin Ran grabbed, not knowing what she was thinking, and said, "I couldn't sleep last night, so I practiced according to the instructions, and then I felt the qi, and then I took it to walk in my body, just like the picture in the book, it's very simple. Master, you said that if you don't know the meridians and acupoints, you can't practice. I'm a little scared... Did I practice it wrong? Will I go crazy?"

"No...no..." Qin Ran let go of Li Shiyin's hand and began to doubt his life, "You didn't practice it wrong, you practiced it very well. When you open the Ren and Du meridians and sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, you can condense the cyclone and start building the foundation."

Li Shiyin obviously knew nothing about meridians and acupoints, why could he feel the qi so smoothly and drive the airflow so correctly? He didn't understand it very well. Could it be that this apprentice pretended to be a pig and eat the tiger, and looked silly, but was actually very cunning?

"Master..." When he doubted his life and Li Shiyin, Li Shiyin suddenly called him again.

He looked over expressionlessly.

Li Shiyin lowered her head and asked softly, "Master, can you make an elixir that can prolong life?"

"I haven't made one before." Qin Ran answered truthfully. The medicinal materials that can prolong life are usually very expensive and he can't afford them.

"Oh!" Li Shiyin replied with some disappointment.

Seeing her like this, Qin Ran added for some reason, "But I have studied it. If there is an elixir formula and medicinal materials, I believe it can be made."

"Really?" Li Shiyin was instantly happy.

"Really."

"Then..." Li Shiyin continued to ask while she still had the courage, "If I practice sword, do I have to go to Jianfeng?"

Qin Ran's heart moved when he heard it, and he looked at Li Shiyin, only to see Li Shiyin's pair of watery eyes looking at him eagerly.

"If..." But he still answered, "If you want to go further in the way of sword, it's better to go to Jianfeng. After all, I practice the way of elixir."

"Oh..."
