Ding Qi closed his eyes slightly, sensing the operation of the true qi in his body. After a stick of incense, he got up from the bed and shook his head helplessly.

"This martial arts method of slapping the mountain palm doesn't seem to be suitable for me. Compared with the heart method of the iron sand palm, it is also very inferior. Ding Qi frowned, very distressed in his heart.

This slap of the mountain palm is already the fifth martial arts mental method that he has tried to cultivate, but the results of his cultivation cannot satisfy Ding Qi. These martial arts methods all have the same flaws as the iron sand palm, that is, the progress of cultivation is slow. If you want to cultivate to the level of small achievements, it will take decades, and Ding Qi simply can't afford to wait such a long time.

Looking at the remaining four copies, copied from the Liangcheng blacksmith shop, and the martial arts method that had not yet been cultivated, he was depressed in his heart, and fell into silence for a while.

"If among these four parts, there are no exercises suitable for my cultivation....... ”

Thinking of this, Ding Qi didn't want to think about it anymore.

Ever since he got the notebook that recorded the growth habits of medicinal herbs from Steward Zhao, Ding Qi looked at it seriously. If you want to do it as soon as possible, memorize the contents by heart. At the same time, he also took out the martial arts method he copied in Liangcheng and began to practice.

Just half a month ago, Steward Zhao assessed Ding Qi's mastery of the growth habits of medicinal herbs. Because he has been reading the contents of that notebook quite seriously these days, and the content that needs to be memorized is not too much. Dealing with Steward Zhao's assessment was quite easy, which made Steward Zhao quite satisfied.

After that, Steward Zhao relieved himself to hand over the work of taking care of the medicine garden to Ding Qi. The number of times I come to the medicine garden is gradually decreasing. Most of the time, he either drinks and has fun in his room, or goes to Qixia Town to listen to small songs, looking like he doesn't want to take care of things.

Taking care of the medicine garden is originally an idle job, and the medicine garden of less than half an acre, even if there is only Ding Qi alone, can take care of it as long as it takes a very small amount of time every day.

After coping with Steward Zhao's assessment and no longer bothering to memorize the growth habits of those herbs, he put all his energy into cultivating martial arts.

Ding Qi only wanted to verify which of the Nine Centric Methods he had copied was suitable for his own cultivation. If you really want to calm down and cultivate, it only takes three to five days for each mental method to get results.

So far, five mental methods have been verified. But every time, the result was extremely disappointing for him.

Now, he can only hope that one of the remaining four exercises can suit him. However, after suffering several blows in succession, Ding Qi has begun to faintly worry that among the remaining exercises, it may be difficult to find exercises that suit him.

In the final analysis, his cultivation qualifications were not good.

"If only I had Zhang Tao's qualifications. Thinking of his qualifications, Ding Qi muttered to himself.

Zhang Tao, who is from the same mountain village as him, is precisely because of the special system and excellent qualifications, and without going through any assessment, he directly became the core disciple of the Qingyun Sect.

For the miraculous encounter that happened to Zhang Tao two months ago, Ding Qi was extremely envious.

After all, the childhood companions who originally played together have such a big difference in their life experiences, which will inevitably make people sigh.

Since Zhang Tao became the core disciple of the Qingyun Sect, Ding Qi also received two letters from him.

When Zhang Tao and Ding Qi were young, they were sent by their families to the old boys in the village, and they learned simple literacy, so it was naturally not a problem to write letters.

From the letters that Zhang Tao brought over a little, there is a lot of content about the core disciples of the Qingyun Sect. From these contents, Ding Qi also has a general understanding of the so-called core disciples.

The disciples who were just starting out in the Qingyun Sect could only cultivate relatively superficial martial arts at the beginning. Only if you have sufficient qualifications, or have made contributions to the sect, will you be taught a relatively advanced mental method from the sect.

The core disciples, on the other hand, are completely different.

From the very beginning, they were awarded the most profound martial arts and cultivation methods in the sect, and they were the elites of the entire sect that they did their best to cultivate.

Not only are there differences in cultivation techniques, but core disciples will also receive a large number of precious medicines that ordinary disciples cannot reach, and the sect specially supplies them to assist them in cultivating the exercises.

These core disciples already have amazing cultivation qualifications, plus they are cultivating the most advanced exercises, and at the same time, they can also get a large number of precious pills to assist them in their cultivation. Compared with ordinary martial arts people, the cultivation speed is naturally incomparable.

After they grow up, they will soon become the high-level of the Qingyun Sect, and their martial arts will reach the level of first-class masters in the rivers and lakes.

Whenever he thought of his childhood companion who had become so high, and it was so difficult for him to cultivate even the most basic iron sand palm, Ding Qi couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself.

But he also knows that this kind of thing in life cannot be forced. Instead of envying others, it is better to work hard yourself.

Fortunately, he still has several martial arts methods in his hands, and he is not completely hopeless.

As long as you find the exercises that suit you, and with your own efforts, you may be able to achieve success in cultivation.

Thinking of this, Ding Qi stretched out his right hand to the side of a book of exercises that had not been practiced. It is necessary to verify whether this exercise is suitable for one's own cultivation.

However, after touching the exercise with his right hand, Ding Qi seemed to think of something, and then withdrew his hand.

"Speaking of which, I haven't been to the medicine garden today, there is a batch of herbs growing, and recently it has reached a critical time, and Steward Zhao is becoming more and more careless, so I can only take care of it more. Ding Qi thought to himself.

As for the cultivation of the exercises, he was naturally extremely attentive. I can't wait to spend all my time on it. However, it is also his responsibility to take care of the medicine garden. You can't delay this matter because you are in a hurry to practice the exercises.

Thinking of this, Ding Qi got out of bed and left the room and walked towards the medicine garden.

The closer you get to the medicine garden, the stronger the refreshing medicinal fragrance becomes. Breathing in the comforting scent of herbs made him feel refreshed.

Entering the medicine garden, Ding Qi began to check the growth of the herbs inside one by one. The herbs in the medicine garden do not need special care at ordinary times, just let them grow naturally. It is only when they reach a critical point in their growth that special measures are needed to make their growth without accidents.

"In another month, the black marrow mushroom should be in the growing season that needs more watering. But for now, just let them grow naturally. ”

......

"This bitter herb is the herb in this medicine garden that I don't need to worry about the most. As long as they are allowed to grow until they reach maturity, they do not need to be taken care of. ”

......

"After applying fertilizer to this golden vine last time, the growth is really getting better and better. The experience recorded in that note is really not ordinarily valid. ”

......

Ding Qi walked around the medicine garden, while checking the growth of various herbs, muttering something, reminding himself which herbs to pay attention to, and which herbs could be put aside for a while, so as not to care too much.

Soon, he came to the end of the medicine garden,

It is also an area that Ding Qi focused on when he visited the medicine garden this time.

"These three-flowered grasses, in recent days, have also reached the critical period of growth, and they need to loosen the soil. Ding Qi looked at the small piece of herb in front of him and muttered.

The herb, which he called Sanhua, looked like a small purple flower. However, Ding Qi knew that when these three-flowered plants really matured, the purple color on the small flowers would disappear and instead turn into red, blue and yellow flowers.

After standing near this small piece of herb for a moment, Ding Qi circled around the three-flowered herb a few more times, carefully checking the growth of the herb. He frowned from time to time, as if he was inferring something.

"It's okay to loosen the soil for this three-flowered grass today, but according to the notes in that note, it's best to wait two days to loosen the soil to achieve the best results. Ding Qi stood next to the herb and muttered.

In the end, he decided to wait two more days, and when he could achieve the maximum effect, he would loosen the soil for this piece of three-flowered grass.

With the decision made,

Ding Qi got up from the side of the three-flowered herb and walked over the growth of the last two herbs.

After inspecting all the herb growth, it didn't take Ding Qi much time. Soon, Tintze returned the way he came, back to his house.

In the following days, in addition to taking care of the medicine garden and loosening the soil for Sanhuacao, Ding Qi focused most of his energy on the cultivation of the exercises, as before.

Before I knew it, half a month had passed.
