Chapter 98 Accumulation
early morning.
The empty teaching ground was filled with disciples except for the pulpit. Many people who go down the mountain to do tasks exchange resources here. For example, the ‘Spiritual Ginseng Planting Technique’ obtained by Fang Shan from doing tasks will also change hands here.
Chen Luo turned around and found Huang Ying selling magic talismans in the corner.
After a few days, Huang Ying's strength has improved again and she has reached the fifth level of Qi training. It can be seen that she has made a lot of money by helping Senior Sister Shen sell talismans during this period. However, Fu An, who had been following her around, disappeared. I don't know if he died or went down the mountain to do a mission alone.
"Senior Brother Chen? You are back."
Seeing Chen Luo, Huang Ying's face showed an expression of surprise.
The two of them started together, and they are both from the country of luxury. For Huang Ying, Chen Luo is still her cash cow. With multiple relationships superimposed, the two of them naturally have more friendships than others.
"How did the mission go? I heard from Fu An that you participated in the joint mission. Only seniors at the fifth level of Qi Refining are qualified."
Huang Ying's voice weakened as she spoke, her eyes widened, and her mouth opened into a round shape.
"You are supporting you, the sixth level of Qi refining?!"
"You broke through again!!"
Huang Ying felt like she was hit hard.
She has the qualifications of the Four Spiritual Roots. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be such a big gap between her and Chen Luo. Especially not long ago, she exchanged the accumulated spirit stones for a Qi-nourishing pill, and through the effect of the pill, she broke through to the fifth level of Qi refining. She thought she had caught up with Chen Luo, but she didn't expect that in just a few days, The opponent broke through again.
"I want to buy an alchemy furnace. Do you have any connections here?"
Chen Luo ignored Huang Ying's shock and spoke out his purpose.
It was very clear what he was going to do now.
Learn the art of alchemy and hit the later stage of Qi refining.
"Alchemy furnace? Isn't it a talisman pen?"
Huang Ying thought she heard wrongly.
"It's the alchemy furnace used for alchemy. I'm going to learn alchemy recently. By the way, it would be better if you could help me get it for pharmacology." Chen Luo added.
"You still want to learn alchemy? Aren't you a Talisman Master?"
Huang Ying couldn't wait to stand up and hold Chen Luo's clothes, telling him not to mess around.
He put aside his excellent Talisman Master qualifications and went to learn some alchemy skills.
Is alchemy something everyone can learn? Leaving aside the question of qualifications, how many elixirs can be purchased with the resources consumed? Not only will it seriously slow down the speed of practice, but it may also be a waste of effort.
"Don't worry about the spiritual stones. I drew some dust-removing talismans to cushion them first. The remaining parts will be made up after I learn other talismans."
Chen Luo reached into his arms and took out a thick stack of spiritual talismans.
These talismans were all drawn by him last night.
After reaching the sixth level of Qi refining, his speed in drawing talismans has improved a lot.
"By the way, did you help me find the copy of the spiritual talisman I asked Fu An to tell you about last time?"
"Oh, here, in addition to the search talisman, there are also copies of several kinds of talisman paper." When the magic talisman business was mentioned, Huang Ying quickly came back to her senses.
He gave the copy he found earlier to Chen Luo.
The thing itself was not worth much. She asked Senior Sister Shen and it was easy to get it.
"How many spirit stones?"
"Give me five." Huang Ying said a cost price.
"good."
Chen Luo took out five spiritual stones
When I went on a mission, I used most of the few spiritual stones I earned from casual cultivators immediately.
"Senior brother, you really need to think carefully about alchemy. It is a bottomless pit. I have seen too many cases of failure."
Seeing that Chen Luo was about to leave, Huang Ying couldn't help but give a reminder.
"rest assured."
Chen Luo waved his hand and hurried back to draw the talisman.
In order to collect enough alchemy furnaces and pharmacology spiritual stones, he planned to stay up all night.
Early the next morning.
It's just dawn.
Chen Luo came to Chuan Gong Ping again with more than thirty talismans that he had drawn last night. With the help of an external brain, he drew thirty-two talismans in one night.
Normal people would have been exhausted by drawing like this. The consumption of spiritual energy is part of it, but the mind is the most difficult to replenish.
Fortunately, Chen Luo has enough external brains that he can use for his mind. A few brains who can draw symbols can solve the problem by taking turns on duty.
"Have you learned the search charm?!"
Huang Ying looked at the brand new talisman that Chen Luo took out, and her whole body went numb.
She can now see that this Senior Brother Chen is not a normal person, so don't even think about comparing yourself with him.
"There are also two other kinds of talismans. You can estimate the price."
Chen Luo divided the talisman papers. There were relatively few on the left side, with only five of them, which were 'quiet mind talismans'. On the right side are seven ‘Fire Charms’, and the rest are all ‘Search Charms’. They are all low-level talismans that can be drawn in the Qi Refining Realm.
‘Even the fire talisman and the meditation talisman were drawn’
Huang Ying can no longer speak.
Although the Meditation Talisman is a low-level talisman, it is extremely difficult to draw. Even her friend Senior Sister Shen only learned it not long ago. It took a full three months!
"This is the alchemy furnace and pharmacological overview you asked for."
Huang Ying took out the things she had asked someone to exchange for yesterday from the storage bag. She felt that Senior Brother Chen might really have the aptitude for alchemy.
"No need to make up?"
Chen Luo was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this would be enough.
"If you don't have the Calming Talisman, it might be a little bit worse. If you include the Calming Talisman, I'll still need seven spiritual stones from you."
Huang Ying introduced the prices of the three kinds of talismans. If you want to have a long-term cooperation, there must be no deception. Otherwise, when Chen Luo finds out the real price of the talisman, this personal cooperation will not be able to continue.
"Don't give it to me yet. It's just right for me to exchange a set of pill formula and basic spiritual materials." Chen Luo held down Huang Ying's hand that was about to take the spiritual stone.
"Pill formula?"
Huang Ying frowned.
The pill formula is not an ordinary material, and it is not something she can get. Even in Yaowang Peak, the pill formula is a core secret and is not allowed to be passed on at will.
"Are you having difficulties? If it really doesn't work, you can help me prepare some basic medicinal materials." Chen Luo also reacted.
The pill formula is definitely not so easy to exchange.
The value is different from the pill furnace and pharmacology overview in his hand, and it has already involved the core inheritance of the alchemist.
"Okay."
Huang Ying breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she didn't ask for the pill formula, everything else would be easy to solve.
A talisman genius like Senior Brother Chen must be flattered. Whether he can accumulate the cultivation resources for the late stage of Qi Refining depends entirely on him.
In the next few days, Chen Luo spent all his time studying pharmacology, except for drawing talismans.
With the help of the external brain, he spent three days memorizing the characteristics of more than 3,000 spiritual materials recorded in the book, and then spent two days going to the market at the foot of the mountain to identify the real objects to ensure that there would be no mistakes.
His own spiritual practice was also gradually perfected in this process.
The sixth level of Qi Refining has reached the top.
After reaching this step, Chen Luo felt the dilemma of aptitude.
The speed of cultivation of medium-level spiritual roots will slow down from the middle stage of Qi Refining. If it is a superior spiritual root, this feeling can only be experienced in the late stage of Qi Refining. After noticing this change, Chen Luo's need for alchemy became more urgent.
His aptitude was synthesized by the external brain. Except for the unstable mummy brain, the strongest one is the brain of the two foundation-building cultivators. These two people were able to reach the foundation-building stage when they were alive, so their aptitude must be good. It's a pity that they died too long ago, and their brains were severely damaged, and the increase they brought to Chen Luo was also very limited.
According to Chen Luo's estimation, if he wants to upgrade to dual spiritual roots, he needs at least ten incomplete foundation-building cultivator brains. If it is a highly complete one, that's another matter, maybe one is enough.
However, with Chen Luo's current realm, there is no need to think about a highly complete foundation-building brain.
Risks and benefits are not proportional.
"Brother, this is the spiritual material you want, a total of twenty basic spiritual materials."
Huang Ying handed the exchanged spiritual materials to Chen Luo.
In the past five days, Chen Luo has bought spiritual materials from him three times, and the quantity has increased each time.
"Okay, you continue to help me collect."
Chen Luo took the spiritual materials and handed the talisman he had drawn yesterday to Huang Ying.
"Brother, wait a minute."
After taking the talisman, Huang Ying stopped Chen Luo who was about to leave.
"I have collected a lot of talismans these days, and it may take some time before I can collect more."
In just five days, she collected nearly half a year's worth of talismans.
So many talismans suddenly poured into the market, causing the price of talismans to drop a lot. The talisman market is just like medicinal materials. There are corresponding consumer groups. Once the number exceeds this group, the price will fall rapidly.
Chen Luo was stunned for a moment and nodded in response.
"I know."
He didn't expect that the consumption capacity of Wudao Peak was so poor that it was filled up in five days.
Since Huang Ying couldn't accept it, he didn't plan to draw it anymore. It was just right to take advantage of this time to think about alchemy.
He didn't get the recipe, and the process of alchemy was much more difficult than others. He could only try it little by little based on the intuition of his external brain. This is a stupid way, but it is the most cost-effective and practical way for Chen Luo.
Two months later.
The market at the foot of Wudao Peak.
"Still three basic spiritual materials, all twenty kinds?"
The owner of the pharmacy looked at Chen Luo who came in and yawned boredly.
These shops are all sect shops, opened at the foot of the mountain, and the disciples of the ten main peaks trade here, which is considered a market for circulation within the sect.
Chen Luo had asked Huang Ying to buy it for him before, but Huang Ying had made a breakthrough in her cultivation in the past half month and went into seclusion. Without anyone to help him, he had to go down the mountain to buy it himself.
After buying it many times, he became familiar with the owner of the pharmacy.
"Boss, give me ten portions of Zhengyang Grass."
Before Chen Luo could speak, a figure walked in from outside.
Chen Luo looked back, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Junior Brother Du Jian?"
The person who came was actually Du Jian, who escaped from the Yue Kingdom Tomb with him. He was the disciple of Xinhuo Taoist. At the beginning, the four brothers and his junior sister Xie Shuang joined the Shenhu Immortal Sect with him. It was just that after entering the sect, they made different choices and went to different main peaks.
After not seeing each other for more than half a year, Du Jian was much more mature than before. He wore a green long gown and a wooden crown, which was the most common among the disciples of Yaowang Peak. His cultivation had reached the fourth level of Qi training, which was not slow among the medium-level spiritual roots. Chen Luo, who started to impact the late stage of Qi training in less than a year, was an outlier.
"Brother Chen?"
Du Jian was also stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to react.
It has been less than a year since they escaped from the Yue Tomb. But in the past six months, they have experienced more than in their previous lives, so that now they suddenly see acquaintances, and they don't recognize them.
"Long time no see."
Chen Luo also smiled and greeted.
He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance by chance. Judging from Du Jian's appearance, he should have joined Yaowang Peak. He just didn't know how his senior brother Du De was doing.
He remembered that senior brother Du De didn't seem to have very good qualifications and had low-grade spiritual roots.
"Really, Senior Brother Chen, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Du Jian was also very happy.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is a great joy in life.
When everything is clear!
"Come on, come on, I have to drink a glass with you today." As he spoke, he pulled Chen Luo and was about to go out for a drink.
"Don't you want the Zhengyang grass?"
The owner of the drugstore came out to get the medicine and saw Du Jian pulling Chen Luo out.
"Yes, come back later."
Du Jian laughed, put the spiritual stone on the table, and then pulled Chen Luo out.
The two didn't look for any particularly expensive restaurants, but found a small shop next to the drugstore.
"Where is Senior Brother Du De? Why didn't you come down with us? I don't know which main peak you guys have joined." After the food and drinks were served, Chen Luo asked.
He had hardly left the mountain since he joined Wudao Peak. It was a rare meeting today, so he naturally had to ask about it.
"Senior Brother joined Shenhuo Peak, Junior Brother Du Zhi and the other two joined Yushou Peak, Junior Sister Xie Shuang went to Tianlu Peak, and I am at Yaowang Peak." Du Jian briefly introduced the main peaks that the few people joined.
"In the first three months after joining, we all worked hard to practice. The skills of the immortal sect are very different from those of our hometown, and it took me a lot of effort to adapt to it."
When talking about the differences in skills, Du Jian still sighed.
The four brothers were raised by the Heart Fire Taoist since they were young, and many concepts have been formed. The process of change was much more painful than Chen Luo's, but fortunately, several of them had good comprehension, and after experiencing the initial pain, they all succeeded in the transformation. Judging from Du Jian's appearance, his skills have stabilized, and his cultivation has reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, which is not slow among this group of disciples.
