Chapter Thirteen Fetching Water

  Qin Yong heard this and could only smile wryly without speaking, although he knew it was just Liu Yan's joking words, but from which he could also see Liu Yan's sincerity.

  It's still the same, even if Liu Yan's followers are in the Yunhai Sect, many people hope to become one, but Qin Yong has his own ambition and is not willing to be inferior to others. Even if he needs to hide for now, Qin Yong is just hiding on the side to cultivate.

  "Never mind, you just focus on your cultivation for now." Seeing this, Liu Yan knew what Qin Yong meant and didn't get angry. She smiled and said, then walked to the medicine field to take a look at the Three-Colored Spiritual Orchid. It had only been a day, but Liu Yan could still clearly feel that the Three-Colored Spiritual Orchid was much better than before.

  Seeing this, Liu Yan had a bottom line in her heart and secretly thought that Qin Yong was indeed not lying. The growth rate of the three-colored spiritual orchid was indeed faster than before. I don't know if it can mature in a month, but at least it doesn't need to wait for a year like before.

  Qin Yong looked at Liu Yan watching the gentle nod in the medicine field, and he also let out a sigh of relief. After sending Liu Yan away, Qin Yong sat down cross-legged in the courtyard. He took out the bottle containing the Qi Ling Dan, poured out one pill, and looking at this black pill, Qin Yong's heart couldn't help but feel a thrill.

  "This is a treasure for the Qi Wu Realm cultivators, the Qi Wu Dan that can increase cultivation speed. For others, it only doubles their cultivation speed, but for Qin Yong, it's different. Qin Yong originally has the Luohu Light Halo, which increases his cultivation speed by 1.5 times. If he takes the Qi Wu Dan, the effects will stack, allowing him to reach triple the speed."

  "Give it a try." Qin Yong didn't think much more, and sent the Qilindan into his mouth. Suddenly, he felt a strong medicinal fragrance spreading in his mouth, turning into a warm current that rushed straight to his throat and slid into his body.

  Qin Yong was unwilling to waste time, and immediately began to cultivate, and indeed felt that the true energy was twice as smooth as before. Qin Yong himself had a 1.5 times cultivation speed, which was always in effect, so even if it was three times faster, in Qin Yong's own feeling, it was only twice as much as taking the Qi Ling Dan, because now the 1.5 times cultivation speed was considered Qin Yong's normal cultivation speed.

  The Spirit Essence Pill cannot increase the surrounding spiritual energy, but it can make the person taking it more sensitive to spiritual energy, thereby absorbing more spiritual energy and turning it into their own strength. Qin Yong circulated the Cultivating Qi Formula, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy around him, the refreshing feeling made Qin Yong feel as if he was about to become stronger.

  That's right, this is an illusion. Qin Yong is not an ordinary martial artist, and he has a far more profound understanding of self-awareness than ordinary people. Some martial artists, due to their own cultivation feelings, may even think they are very powerful and become arrogant, while some can recognize themselves, which is a difference in mentality.

  Qin Yong's mental state was not much better than that of his peers, but this self-awareness paved a path for him to cultivate his mind. As long as Qin Yong continued to practice and walk further on the path of cultivation, he would be able to comprehend the way of the mind and become a true martial cultivator.

  The sky was gradually darkening, hazy and oppressive. Qin Yong woke up from his cultivation and opened his eyes to see the gloomy sky. Indeed, cultivation knows no time, if it weren't for Qin Yong's current insufficient cultivation, he wouldn't have woken up so soon, unable to shake off the need for food and having to replenish his energy.

  It's said that a powerful martial artist, only needs to absorb spiritual energy to replenish the body's needs. Moreover, because they no longer eat grains and other staple foods, they also don't need to use toilets. At that time, even eating and drinking are purely out of interest. And at that time, during cultivation, if one is slightly careless, when waking up, it's possible that several months have already passed, this kind of thing isn't unheard of.

  Qin Yong is now only at the Qi Wu boundary, and it's still far from reaching that level. After waking up, he went to the house to eat some dry rations, then came out to the medicine field to water the three-colored spiritual orchid. The watering of this spiritual herb isn't ordinary well water or river water, but rather requires fetching water from the spiritual spring behind the mountain.

  The water for drinking and irrigating the medicine fields in the sect all came from there. It is said that at the bottom of the spring, there was a spiritual stone containing spiritual energy, so the spring water contained spiritual energy, although not very dense, but also better than drinking ordinary well water or river water. As for using the spring water for other purposes, it's not easy to do so. It seems that only core disciples can use the spiritual spring water for bathing every day, and among the inner sect disciples, only those like Liu Yan, an inner sect genius, have this privilege.

  Qin Yong and other miscellaneous disciples like him were only allocated a small amount of drinking water, and most of the time they actually drank ordinary well water or river water. The reason why they could use it to irrigate the medicine field was that the medicine field cultivated spiritual medicine, and if ordinary water was used for irrigation, it might have a bad influence on the spiritual medicine. These waterings were also limited in quantity, and miscellaneous disciples had to be especially careful, otherwise once spilled, they would not be able to get more from the spiritual spring, which would affect the yield and quality of the medicine field, and they would receive severe punishment.

  "The spring water is almost gone, it's time to go fetch some more." Qin Yong had originally planned to continue his cultivation after watering, but seeing that the spring water in the vat was almost depleted, if he didn't go fetch some more, it would affect the growth of the Three-Colored Spiritual Orchid.

  The LV1 birthmark only accelerated the growth rate, it's not that you don't need to care about it at all after using it. The spiritual energy needed for growth is still needed, even if the growth speed has increased tenfold, the absorption speed has also increased tenfold. The medicine field is fine, the three-colored spirit orchid absorbs spiritual energy from it, and only one three-colored spirit orchid is cultivated in the entire medicine field, so there won't be any problems. However, the watering issue needs to be taken seriously, even if now only the three-colored spirit orchid remains, but the amount of water needed for watering is more than before.

  Qin Yong didn't dare to slack off, and carrying the water bucket he headed towards the Ling Shui Spring behind the mountain. The journey wasn't short, but half an hour was enough for a round trip. During this time, no one managed the medicine field, but nothing would happen either. If someone intentionally caused trouble and destroyed the medicine field, even if it were an outer sect disciple, they would receive severe punishment. Only inner sect disciples would be slightly more lenient, but they still couldn't escape punishment. And if such an accident occurred, the responsible miscellaneous chores disciple wouldn't have any way out either. This was how the management of the medicine field had always been; otherwise, it wouldn't have been left to just one miscellaneous chores disciple to manage.

  Now in the medicine field, what is planted is Liu Yan's three-color spirit orchid. Whoever dares to come and disturb it will be offending Liu Yan. Even among the inner door disciples, there aren't many people who have this kind of courage. Even if they are jealous of Qin Yong, at most they would make things difficult for him in other matters, but they wouldn't do anything to the three-color spirit orchid. It's precisely because of this that Qin Yong can go fetch water with a peace of mind.

  Hurrying to the back of the mountain, he saw two disciples waiting by the Ling Shui Spring and Qin Yong immediately went forward to greet them.

  "Two senior brothers, I am Qin Yong, the miscellaneous disciple in charge of the medicine field. The spring water is almost used up, and I have come to carry some back."

  These two guardian disciples were both outer door disciples, and guarding the Spiritual Water Spring was a sect task that could earn sect contributions. Generally, as long as they stated their identity and purpose, the two guardian disciples would check them briefly and let them pass, but this time, it seemed it wouldn't be that easy.

  "Are you Qin Yong?" One of the two gatekeeper disciples, who was slightly thinner, raised an eyebrow and looked at Qin Yong with a scrutinizing gaze.

  Qin Yong felt a sudden jolt in his heart, although the other party didn't say anything, but Qin Yong still sensed a kind of malice from the tone.
