Early morning.

The wind and snow are shaking, and the whole mountain seems to have entered a state of hibernation.

On the seventh peak of Zhong Nanshan, a figure sat on a boulder, and when the snowflakes approached, they automatically floated to the side, and there was not half a snowflake on his body.

"Middle stage of refining and refining gas!"

Li Changqing spat out a breath of turbid air towards the east, and unexpectedly formed a long dragon of more than two meters.

In the three months of waiting for the starfish grass to mature, Li Changqing has not been idle, while reading the book, he tried to control the operation route of the "Taishang Huangting Neijing Jade Sutra", after countless failed explorations, he was finally able to do two things, and he could also practice Taoist exercises while reading, plus Li Changqing drank spiritual water and spiritual tea for a long time, and when the starfish grass matured, he had already broken through to the middle stage of refining and refining qi.

And the sea of learning, which is full of mud palace pills with the haoran righteousness produced by insisting on reading every day, is almost so rich that it can drip water, but the literature in the sea of learning still has no movement.

On the contrary, under Li Changqing's teaching, Meng Yuncheng's heroic righteousness on his body faintly showed signs of breaking through the mud palace pill and opening up the sea of learning!

Therefore, the lecture on the playground of Li Jiaao Primary School is now replaced by Meng Yuncheng when Li Changqing is not there, and although Meng Yuncheng's current Confucian cultivation is much worse than Li Changqing, it is enough to deal with this kind of scene.

In the health center, Li Hongdou's medical skills have also reached the entry level, and ordinary incurable diseases can be solved by themselves.

Li Changliang came back from the provincial agricultural exhibition, more calm than before, more attentive when learning "Qi Ming Yaoshu", and initially mastered the production process of the eight sections of incense ancient method of health tea.

Sanqing Temple has Meng Hongru, the great god of refining and refining qi, and there is nothing to do with Li Changqing.

Li Jianguo managed other chores in the village in an orderly manner.

It's better to give it a fish than to give it a fish!

Li Changqing used to have to do all kinds of things by himself, but now everyone else can take charge of it alone, he himself is idle all day long in Zhong Nanshan riding around the rock, looking for a place with good scenery to study, or going to the medicine valley to strike iron, or refining qi on the mountain peak, quite a bit of the true meaning of the mountains and rivers.

Counting the days, when the starfish grass was ripe, Li Changqing went down the mountain and came to the ground at the foot of the mountain.

Several leaves of starfish grass have opened, and the colorful spots on them are extremely bright.

"Starfish grass is ripe!"

Li Changqing had been waiting for three months, but at this time, he had already broken through to the middle stage of refining and refining qi, but the Qi Nourishing Pill also had an effect on the middle stage of refining and refining qi.

In the "Baopu Zi Dan Sutra", the Qi Nourishing Pill is only the most basic pill, the difficulty of refining is not high, and the requirements for fire are not as harsh as those high-grade pills, otherwise even if Li Changqing collects all the pills and pills, I am afraid it will be difficult to refine them successfully.

The medicine valley between the eighth and ninth peaks was hidden enough, and Li Changqing reopened up an area for alchemy.

Under the Dan furnace, the flames crackled and burned.

Although Li Changqing has long been familiar with the precautions of the refining process of the Qi Nourishing Pill, and he also has experience in boiling decoctions, it is the first time for the alchemy of the Eight Classics, and he is not sure whether it can succeed, but he just invests various medicinal materials all the way in the process in the "Baopu Zi Dan Sutra", and cooperates with the control of the size of the flame.

Only half of the medicinal materials were put in, and Li Changqing smelled the burning smell coming from the Dan furnace.

"It's not that simple......"

Li Changqing had already been mentally prepared, prepared a large number of medicinal materials, washed the Dan furnace, and continued to try.

"Hiss......", a fragrant medicinal fragrance comes to the nose, just smelling it makes people feel refreshed!

"Whew!"

Li Changqing let out a long breath, he had forgotten to fail a few times, and finally succeeded.

After the temperature cooled down, Li Changqing opened the lid of the furnace, and in the lid lay sixteen white pills that exuded lustre, each pill was only the size of an adult's little finger.

"This is the Qi Nourishing Pill?"

Li Changqing picked up a pill with two fingers, looked at it carefully for a moment, threw it in his mouth and swallowed it directly.

Thirty seconds later, a cloud of warm energy spread out in Li Changqing's stomach, overflowing to all four limbs.

In the cold winter, Li Changqing felt a feeling of fever.

Li Changqing did not rush to refine this medicinal power, but carefully felt the changes of this medicinal power to his body, and after his body adapted to this medicinal power, he began to run the route in the "Taishang Huangting Neijing Jade Sutra" to refine the medicinal power, and it took two weeks of continuous operation before this medicinal power was consumed.

It took fifteen minutes, and the true qi in the dantian increased by two small wisps, which was about the same as the total amount of Li Changqing's usual cultivation for two hours!

"After the pill becomes a pill, the efficiency of refining and refining qi has increased by eight times!"

Li Changqing was extremely surprised in his heart, and he swallowed three more pills before stopping.

Gregorian calendar, January 1st, New Year's Day.

For remote villages like Lijiaao, there has never been a New Year's Day, and everyone is used to the lunar calendar, which is the lunar calendar.

On this day, a strange Taoist came to Lijiaao.

The Taoist man had gray hair, tied on top of his head, wearing tattered clothes, and the cloth shoes on his feet showed a big black toe, and instead of freezing, his face was ruddy, and he didn't seem to be cold at all.

The villagers of Lijiaao saw that Lao Dao was pitiful, some took Lao Dao to eat in the vacation, some took out new shoes that he had not worn for Lao Dao to change, and some people gave Lao Dao padded jackets.

"Thank you for your kindness, but there is no difference between good clothes and bad clothes for Lao Dao, I came to your village to find someone!", Lao Dao waved his hand and refused.

"Looking for someone, I see that you are also a Taoist priest, could it be that you are here to find Lord Meng Guan?" Li Jianguo saw such a strange Taoist in the village, so he came to understand the situation.

"No, that person's name is Li Changqing!", Lao Dao shook his head.

"Do you have anything to do with Qingwa?"

"I'm his senior brother!"

"Senior brother?"

Li Jianguo has never heard Li Changqing mention that he has any masters, senior brothers, etc., and this veteran grade can be Qingwa's grandfather, how can he be Qingwa's senior brother?

"Well, you just said that the old people under the group of dragons absorbing the pool visited, and he understood!", Lao Dao nodded.

"Okay, it's noon now, wait for some food in the village first, I'll take you up the mountain after eating, as for Qingwa not seeing you, it's hard to say!"

Li Jianguo's appearance of the old Taoist should not be deceiving, and this old Taoist wears so few clothes in winter, but it is not cold at all, he must be a little Taoist, maybe it is really Li Changqing's senior brother, so he promised to take him up the mountain.

If there is no snow, it is very difficult to climb the back mountain from Lijiaao to Zhongnan Mountain, and after the snow, it is even more difficult to close the mountain with heavy snow!

Li Jianguo staggered forward in the snow, but the old man seemed to be unaffected by the wind and snow.
