Chapter 157 Double Happiness

In the next ten days, Li Qing immersed all his energy in refining and practicing.

In addition, he would send a jar of aged winter plums to the old miner named Zhou every now and then.

In this way, time passed quickly, and before he knew it, twelve days had passed.

At this time, in Li Qing's yard, he was engraving spiritual patterns on a palm-sized heart plate with an unprecedented concentration.

As his fingertips moved across the heart plate, strands of patterns with a yellowish earth light appeared and disappeared.

The spiritual patterns on it seemed to form a whole. Although they were not connected to each other, they had a mysterious connection.

It can be seen that this time the inscription was very successful and was nearing the end.

Finally, Li Qing's fingertips powerfully and accurately crossed the iron plate, and the last earth attribute spiritual pattern was engraved by him.

Buzz!

In just a moment, the spiritual energy in the surrounding world began to stir and gathered towards the heart-protecting plate covered with earth-yellow spiritual patterns.

After all, it was just an inferior magic weapon. The process of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth only lasted for a short time and stopped, and did not attract anyone's attention at all.

However, the next line of text information that suddenly appeared in front of Li Qing made him excited!

[Successfully refined an inferior magic weapon: Earth Yuan Heart-protecting Plate, rewarded with six years of life! ]

Six years!

Seeing this number, Li Qing exhaled suddenly, and felt that the busy work during this period was too worthwhile!

This is the first time in history that six years of life have been added in one go. Even the previous use of pure ink gold to refine the Qinghong Sword did not increase so much.

Li Qing looked up and saw that his remaining life span had directly reached 185 years!

What an amazing number! You know, even if you practice to the foundation-building stage, your life span is only two or three hundred years.

And now he is only in the second level of the Qi Refining Stage, and he can live to more than two hundred years.

Li Qing is now close to 28 years old.

However, it is worth mentioning that his bone age and physical condition are only 25 years old.

It is not that his growth has stopped, but that he is aging abnormally slowly now. I think what he is consuming now should be the life span he gained from refining the weapon.

Or in other words, because of the abundant life span, Li Qing's adolescence, which is the most golden time in his life, has also been extended a lot!

"It took twelve days to finally get it done!"

Li Qing smiled with great satisfaction, and he injected a trace of spiritual power into the iron plate covered with spiritual patterns.

Buzz!

Soon, a layer of light yellowish-brown light emerged and wrapped around part of Li Qing's body.

This is a very simple ability brought by the engraved earth attribute spiritual pattern. Li Qing named it Earth Element Cover.

As the name suggests, it can resist some spell attacks, especially water attribute spells, and has a very good defensive effect.

"Yes, it only takes a little spiritual power to get a protective shield. Although it is not big, it can at least cover the torso by putting it on the heart."

"But it is just a low-grade magic weapon after all. It is already the limit to resist some small magic attacks in the early stage of Qi Refining. It may suffer when encountering magic attacks in the middle stage of Qi Refining or even some magic attacks that are good at using the attributes of their own skills."

Li Qing said with a chuckle, and he was very self-aware of the heart-protecting plate he had just successfully refined.

After saying that, he happily stuffed the heart-protecting plate into his arms.

Next, Li Qing slightly recovered the consumed spiritual power, and went to visit the old miner named Zhou again with a jar of winter plum wine.

He has decided that if the other party is still unwilling to tell him some things about the mine this time, he will never send it again.

Although he has stored a lot of fine wine, he didn't lose it like this!

Now he is already an apprentice of refining instruments, and can simply refine some low-grade magic weapons. It is not difficult for him to earn a little spiritual stone.

Moreover, with a sufficient life span, Li Qing can be more cautious and accumulate experience slowly.

He has no other strengths, but he has lived a long life and is more patient than anyone else.

Dong Dong Dong!

Li Qing knocked on the door of the No. 16 courtyard as usual. The old senior Zhou was obviously used to Li Qing's knocking these days, and soon answered:

"Come in."

Li Qing entered the courtyard and placed a jar of aged winter plums in the courtyard, and prepared to leave.

However, to his surprise, this time, the old man Zhou asked him to stay:

"Well, stay and have a drink together. It's too boring to drink alone these days."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Li Qing's face became even brighter.

Today is really a double happiness. Not only did he successfully refine the first magic weapon in his life, but he also finally made the old miner with a weird temper give in.

"Hehe, Senior Zhou, you don't know that you have to drink this winter plum wine with some braised food."

Li Qing instructed with an expert attitude, and then took out a plate of braised dishes from the storage bag with a smile.

Braised pork head, braised beef in sauce, spicy braised beef heart, braised donkey meat, one plate after another was brought out, and the fragrance was overflowing.

The secret recipes of these braised dishes were naturally stolen from Shengtian Taoyuan Restaurant before. It happened that the area where the Liu family lived was also full of these things, and the raw materials were easy to find.

When Li Qing replenished his daily necessities, he also braised some meat for today.

Obviously, this old miner who was obsessed with cultivation had not tasted such dishes for a long time.

He grabbed a braised pig's trotter and ate it with big mouthfuls: "I really didn't expect that you can cook."

Li Qing took the initiative to pour wine and said modestly: "I used to be used to struggling in the mortal world, so I naturally learned a lot. How about it, Senior Zhou, how do these dishes I made taste?"

Senior Zhou drank the wine in the glass without saying a word, and then continued to chew the pig's trotter full of collagen happily, not to mention how fragrant it was.

"Well, not bad, not bad, have you ever considered becoming a spiritual chef or something?"

"On the road of cultivation, you can never go far just by mining and working, and you have to master a skill to travel the world."

Today, the old miner was obviously in a good mood and was willing to chat with Li Qing.

"I have had this idea, but I just entered the world of immortal cultivation not long ago, and I still want to accumulate some spirit stones, and then decide which craft to learn." Li Qing said truthfully.

Senior Zhou nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, you are quite sensible, I like you."

"You always come to send wine these days, you should be here for the mine, right?"

Li Qing did not hide it, and admitted directly: "Please teach me, senior!"

Seeing Li Qing so straightforward, without a trace of hesitation, generous as if he was not asking for help, the old miner laughed:

"Hahahaha, you are a good kid, thick-skinned, and you can live a long life."

"Well, I don't have anything else in my life that others can remember, but this experience of going to the mine is worth praising, and it doesn't matter if I tell you everything."

Li Qing pricked up his ears directly, unwilling to miss any words, and waited quietly.

"The mine is in the far west of Cuiling. The Liu family has a secret passage. Before we set off, the Liu family will provide everyone with a spirit horse. It will take about a day and a half to reach the destination."

"The spirit stone vein belongs to the upper sect. We are just helping to mine it, but we must not embezzle the spirit stones or use the mined spirit stones for cultivation!"

"Originally, there were some monsters in that area. After so many years, the mine has become much more peaceful. At most, there are some spirit-eating lizards that are not considered monsters living in it."

"If you catch one, It can be used as a snack to relieve your cravings during boring mining days. "

"In the spiritual stone mine, you can occasionally mine some accompanying spiritual materials."

"It seems to be three or four years ago? I remember someone dug up a piece of black mica iron, which caused quite a stir at the time."

"I heard that thing is the main material for refining top-grade magic tools, and even some magic weapons need it as an auxiliary material!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! But in the end, that person handed it over to the cultivator of the upper sect and received a lot of rewards."

Li Qing listened with his eyes flashing.

As an apprentice of refining tools, he naturally knew how precious the spiritual materials in the world of immortal cultivation were, and they were all indispensable things for refining tools.

"Well, after saying all this, let me briefly tell you how to find mines. "
