Chapter 57 Caravan
As the smoke dissipated, a thin, faintly visible crack appeared on a piece of bluestone not far away, of course, only on the surface of the bluestone.
Both of them are first-class top-grade spells, Fire Rock Spell, but after being cast, they can't leave any traces on the bluestone at all. This shows the difference between the two.
"Each spell has its own characteristics, but there are also similarities. As long as you are willing to work hard, all difficulties will be solved." After successfully understanding the Fire Pillar Spell, Sun Mingsheng showed a satisfied look on his face.
The Fire Pillar Spell cast for the first time was only a semi-finished product, and it did not reach the peak level of the same level, and it needed to continue to practice enough.
As for trying to draw it into a talisman, at least the Fire Pillar Spell needs to be upgraded from the entry level to the proficient stage, and the great success and perfection will be higher.
In this busy practice of spells and talisman drawing, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, winter was gone and spring came, and it was the time for all things to revive.
"Fire pillar is completed, talisman is sealed" In the training room, Sun Mingsheng, holding a foxtail pen, sweated profusely as he drew the last stroke, and under his feet were a large number of abandoned semi-finished talismans.
These semi-finished talismans either had only one talisman head or only one talisman foot missing, and more of them failed for various reasons after the drawing was completed.
Even more of them were burned to ashes under the action of fire spirit power due to energy imbalance.
As a talisman master, failure is just the most normal and commonplace when trying to draw a new talisman.
This time, in order to practice the fire pillar technique, three hundred talismans and a large amount of talisman ink were consumed, and only less than twenty were successful, with a success rate of less than one tenth.
"Twelfth brother, do you have any talismans to exchange this month?" Sun Mingyun appeared in the small courtyard where he lived on time on the last day of every month.
"Seventh brother, please come in, there are some talismans that can be exchanged." Sun Mingsheng took out two stacks of first-level medium-grade talismans, one stack of first-level high-grade fire rock talismans, and one stack of first-level high-grade fire pillar talismans.
Most of the spiritual objects that Sun Mingsheng needed for cultivation were obtained through trading with his family through talismans. The price was lower, but it was convenient and fast, and basically all his needs could be met.
"Mingsheng is really a genius. Not only has his cultivation level been raised to the eighth level of Qi training, but his talisman making skills have also improved, and he has even successfully drawn the fire pillar technique." Sun Mingyun's tone was full of envy.
"It's just that the early bird flies first and pursues something different. Unlike the seventh brother, who has already given birth to a son and a daughter, there will be successors in the future."
After Sun Mingyun got married, she gave birth to children early. Currently, her son is four years old and her daughter is two years old, and their qualifications have not yet been checked.
"I only have five spiritual roots, and my achievements in this life are limited. I hope that among my children and descendants, there will be someone with excellent qualifications, so that I can go further in the future." Sun Mingyun is full of tenderness and care for his children.
"Seventh brother, is there any news about the spiritual beast bag in the family?" Sun Mingsheng changed his words and his focus quickly shifted.
Because of the existence of the black-striped ants, he has always been obsessed with the spirit beast bag, and he also secretly got rid of Sun Mingyun's search.
But the Sun family is too small after all, and most of the clan members are busy with their own practice. The only spirit beast bags in the family also have their own uses and will not be sold to the outside.
Lanshan Market mainly corresponds to the Qi Refining cultivators in Pingyang County. Most of the resources sold are related to practice, and there are not many unpopular products such as spirit beast bags.
"The family, including Lanshan Market, has not heard of the news of the sale of spirit beast bags." Sun Mingyun also shook his head.
"Seventh brother, has the family recently sent a caravan to the Beast Taming City?" He was fully prepared for this answer.
The Sun family also rented a store in the Beast Taming City, mainly selling some commonly used low-level practice resources, purchasing some relatively precious elixirs, spiritual medicines, etc.
Every fixed period of time, the family will send a caravan to the Beast Taming City to transport some large quantities of spiritual objects for trading.
"There is a small caravan heading to Beast Taming City, escorted by an elder who has practiced Qi at the ninth level." Sun Mingyun has been in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall for many years, so he is naturally very clear about these news.
"Thank you, Seventh Brother, I understand." Sun Mingsheng's eyes turned, and the idea flashed in his mind.
Since there is no news of the sale of spirit beast bags in the family and Lanshan Market, it is better to go all out and go to Beast Taming City.
According to the family regulations, after the cultivation level of the clan members is promoted to the late stage of Qi training, they have the qualifications to travel outside, and they only need to report to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall before departure.
With Sun Mingsheng's current cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi training, there is naturally no doubt that he will follow the family caravan to Beast Taming City.
His presence can also strengthen the escort force of the caravan, after all, this journey is not safe.
"Thirteenth Master, why did you personally come out to take charge of the caravan this time when going to Beast Taming City?" Half a month later, in a small caravan with three silly cow beasts, Sun Mingsheng looked at the old man with white hair in front of him and asked.
Sun Youming, ranked thirteenth in the You generation, is a cultivator with four spiritual roots and has reached the ninth level of Qi training. He is one of the few cultivators of the You generation who is still active in the front line.
As time goes by and they grow older, most of the You-generation monks in the family have settled in Shenquan Mountain, responsible for completing some tasks within their capabilities, such as teaching younger generations in the school.
Only Sun Youming is an exception. As a four-spiritual-root monk, he has cultivated to the ninth level of Qi training. He has extremely rich combat experience and outstanding combat power.
"Why? Family rules do not allow me to lead the caravan to complete the task?" Sun Youming is a typical old man who is still strong.
"Master Thirteen is experienced. With you leading the team in person, this trip to the Beast Taming City will definitely be safe and worry-free." Sun Mingsheng flattered decisively.
"You are a good kid. It will take a full month and a half for the caravan to reach the Beast Taming City. You can also learn a lot along the way." Sun Youming is completely relying on his seniority.
The family caravan's way of traveling was completely different from the last time it went to Yuquan Mountain in Zhongshan County. The three silly cow beasts were almost non-stop except for eating and taking a temporary rest every ten days.
Beast Control City is located in Beast Control County, in the northwest of Pingyang County. The two places are separated by a full 150,000 miles. Fortunately, the two places have been wiped out by large and small families and sects along the way, so the passage is safe.
Under the coordination of the Beast Control Sect, there is a place for temporary rest for large and small caravans every ten thousand miles or so.
Over time, these places gradually evolved into temporary trading points of various sizes, and there are often some casual cultivators setting up stalls here to sell some cheap and high-demand spiritual objects to earn spiritual stones, such as fresh forage grass that every caravan needs.
The silly cow beast has thick skin and meat, but it is an indispensable spiritual beast for every caravan. Therefore, most cultivators will not be stingy to buy some fresh spiritual grass to fill their stomachs, and the Sun family is naturally no exception.
