Li Qinghai stopped in his tracks and first read the words on the Book of Good Fortune.

  [Please note, provoking a cultivator strohan you is sidered a suicidal act.]

  [Regarding the judgment of suicide: Death caused by your own as is your own karma and must be borne by yourself, thus sidered suicide.]

  [Regarding the judgment of homicide: If you intervene in someone else's affairs, it is primarily their karma, and you do not o bear it yourself, thus sidered homicide.]

  [There will be no further reminders, please be aware and treat death with caution.]

  This...

  Li Qinghai was a bit bewildered.

  Karma was truly too mysterious.

  For him, a mere mortal who hadn't begun cultivation, it was pletely inprehensible.

  But reading prehension, Li Qinghai could manage.

  Suicide was one's own karma.

  In other words, even if he did nothing and naturally died of old age, it would be a form of ic suicide caused by his own karma.

  In any case, if he wao die, he would have to do it like st time, going out to seek death when others were in the heat of battle.

  Only in such a situation would it be sidered homicide, using someone else's karma as the fuse.

  He uood it now.

  But the difficulty of suicide had clearly increased a lot.

  Sigh...

  Li Qinghai sat helplessly on a chair; the method of finding a powerful cultivator to kill him was no longer viable.

  Although he was a little disappointed, he wasn't disheartened.

  Because Li Qinghai khat in the world of cultivation, killing and treasure snatg were too on, and there would be plenty of opportuo seek death iure.

  Then, Li Qinghai's gaze fell bato the table.

  Without much thought, he reached out and picked up the Qi densing Teique.

  He had always fantasized about transmigrating and cultivating.

  He never expected that one day he would get to experiehe joy of cultivation.

  Li Qinghai excitedly opehe Qi densing Teique and began to read it carefully.

  A moment ter, Li Qinghai swiftly got onto the bed, sitting cross-legged in a proper manner.

  Following the instrus ieique, he breathed in and out, trying to find the so-called sense of qi.

  ***

  An hour passed just like that.

  Not to mention finding any sense of qi, he was almost exhausted to the point of passing out.

  Li Qinghai colpsed onto the bed, lying ft.

  His legs were numb.

  His waist and back ached.

  His mind was foggy.

  Cultivation was too hard.

  Could it be that my aptitude is too poor?

  It seemed this body wasn't suitable for cultivation; it o be remade.

  Just as he was thinking this.

  A voice came from outside the house.

  "Junior Brother, are you inside?"

  Li Qinghai jumped off the bed, opehe door, and saw a chubby man in his tweanding outside the bamboo fence of the courtyard.

  "What is it, Senior Brother?" Li Qinghai asked.

  "Elder Jian Jiu instructed me to help you with the daily affairs of the sect."

  Jian Jiu?

  Li Qinghai had some impression.

  Jian Jiu was one of the two cultivators who fought in the small fishing vilge back then.

  Since he saved him, the disciple he entrusted shouldn't be a bad person.

  "Please e in, Senior Brother," Li Qinghai invited him in.

  After all, he did o uand the situation of the sect.

  The chubby man waddled over to Li Qinghai's side, and the two ehe house together.

  They exged a few pleasantries and introduced themselves.

  It turned out this chubby man was named Wang Dafu, and as his name suggested, he came from a wealthy family.

  His aors had once helped an immortal, which gave him the opportunity to ehe sect for cultivation.

  Although Wang Dafu's aptitude was average, he had es, so he reviously assigo the Green Bamboo Residence.

  But now the Green Bamboo Residence had been requisitioned by Jian Jiu and given to Li Qinghai.

  With Jian Jiu's temperament, he wouldn't forcibly take from an outer disciple.

  As pensation, Jian Jiu arranged for Wang Dafu to be pced in the inner area.

  From Wang Dafu's beaming expression, it was clear he was very happy.

  Jian Jiu was his beor, and Li Qinghai ily gave him this opportunity.

  So, Wang Dafu was both courteous ahusiastic towards Li Qinghai.

  "Junior Brother Li, that's the general situation of the sect. If there's anything you don't uand, feel free to ask me."

  Li Qinghai was most ed about cultivation, "How one successfully dense qi? Is there ahod?"

  Wang Dafu chuckled, "I knew Junior Brother would be ed about this. For outer disciples like us with poor aptitude, it's very difficult to dense qi on our own. The best method is to use Qi densing Elixirs. One Qi densing Elixir costs five low grade Spirit Stones."

  "I see." Li Qinghai finally uood the key to densing qi.

  The two of them chatted about many things, and Li Qinghai, a novi cultivation, learned quite a bit.

  After a long time, Wang Dafu left.

  In a great mood, he eve Li Qinghai a small gift.

  It wasn't anything precious, just a small bag of herb seeds.

  Outer disciples generally had weak strength, and the ways to earn spirit stones were limited.

  Especially for a newer like Li Qinghai, the only way to earn spirit stones was by farming.

  So, farm he would.

  ***

  Li Qinghai went to the courtyard, picked up a hoe, and began to till the nd.

  The nd, nourished by spiritual energy, was very hard, requiring great effort to break it open.

  The hoe in his hand was naturally not an ordinary tool.

  It was a on Artifact, the most basic tool in the cultivation world, g any offensive properties but much better than mundane farming tools.

  Above on Artifacts were Magic Artifacts, Treasure Artifacts, and Spiritual Treasures...

  Those were the real magical treasures used in bat.

  But such things were beyond the reach of a small outer disciple like him.

  The primary task now was farming.

  Li Qinghai dug and dug, b for several hours, finally pnting all the seeds.

  Supp his ag back, he slowly sat on the doorstep.

  Looking at the plot of farmnd in the courtyard, Li Qinghai almost cried.

  This was nothing like the cultivation he had imagined.

  He had always envisioned cultivation as flying on swords, roaming the world freely.

  Where was the farming in that picture?

  Moreover, acc to Wang Dafu's expnation, these herb seeds were Qi Gathering Grass.

  Based on the yield and age ratio.

  If harvested in a month, they could be exged for 1 to 2 spirit stones.

  If harvested in half a year, they could be exged for 6 to 10 spirit stones.

  If harvested in a year, they could be exged for 15 to 20 spirit stones.

  Which meant it would take about half a year to exge for one Qi densing Elixir...

  And using a Qi densing Elixir didn't guarantee successful qi densation.

  There was a record of the worst aptitude disciple in the Azure Cloud Sect taking a full 9 Qi densing Elixirs to successfully dense qi.

  If he were like that disciple...

  The se was tic to bear.

  Wait a minute.

  Why do I have to cultivate?

  Wouldn't it be better to reinate in the life and cultivate then?

  Besides, once I start cultivating, my strength will increase, making it even harder to die, right?

  Damn.

  I was so focused on experieng the joy of cultivation that I fot about this.

  I have a cheat, and seekih is the most important thing right now, not farming for spirit stones.

  Looking at the spiritual field in the courtyard, Li Qinghai's face twitched.

  Aire afternoon wasted...

  His body was tired, and his heart even more so.

  Fet it, time to sleep.

  Rest well, and rise early tomorrow to reinate.
