Chapter 111 Overall Strengthening
"I would like to advance this year's salary for worship."
Lin Shan bit the bullet and made this somewhat embarrassing request, but there was nothing he could do, he was really scared.
There is only one Wind Release Talisman in the Talisman Shop, and who knows if it will still be there a few days later. And I also need to buy some other things and plan to adapt in advance, otherwise it may be too late to prepare by then.
Zuo Zhenren was surprisingly generous, perhaps because he was optimistic about Lin Shan's future and was willing to provide him with some conveniences.
It's also possible that a mere thousand spiritual stones were nothing in the eyes of the big capitalist of the auction house, so he approved them directly.
Lin Shan went downstairs with Zuo Zhenren's approval note and found a group of appraisers and auction house monks gathered together to discuss Lin Shan's foundation building. These dozen people did not expect that the real master would come down so quickly, and they were all shocked.
Then they complimented each other with smiles and called "seniors" one after another.
After all, in the world of cultivation, strength is respected, and cultivation is based on age, regardless of age. Whoever has a higher realm is the "predecessor", and those who have achieved it are teachers, which has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Seeing his former comrades changing their expressions and calling them seniors, especially many old men saluting a "youngster" like him, Lin Shan was a little uncomfortable with his first experience.
It probably won’t shorten your lifespan.
I muttered to myself, but on the surface, I quickly accepted my identity, greeted everyone with a few words, and directly handed Zuo Zhenren's approval note to one of the female cultivators in charge of finance.
"Advance one year's salary!"
The female cultivator couldn't help but exclaimed, then suddenly woke up and quickly covered her mouth. Seeing the strange looks from the people around him, he quickly ran to the back to handle the procedures for Lin Shan.
……
After receiving the one thousand and two hundred spirit stones, Lin Shan felt confident again and returned to the store area with great vigor.
"Wind Escape Talisman, Fire Talisman, I bought it!"
The waiter looked at the spirit stones in the storage bag and handed the talisman to him respectfully.
Next, Lin Shan went straight through the entire store area and bought a lot of various travel supplies such as detoxifying pills, miasma removing pills, water-repelling beads, spiritual rejuvenation pills, rejuvenation charms, healing ointments, night pearls, incense, and so on.
After all, if you go to the East China Sea to join a major demonic sect, you will have unpredictable fortunes and disasters. You don't know what dangers you will encounter, so prepare more means to be prepared.
Finally, I went to the Zhenfa Xuan, which specializes in selling formations. I originally wanted to buy a set of defensive formations to protect my place of residence. However, I found that the cheapest spirit gathering formation cost five hundred spirit stones, and the worst formation that could defend the foundation building stage cost several thousand spirit stones.
As a last resort, I had to settle for the next best thing and buy two sets of forbidden jade slips, one set of mysterious and forbidden jade slips, and one set of warning and forbidden jade slips.
Compared with the formation, the stability and power of the forbidden jade slips are one level lower, which is equivalent to a simplified version, but it is cheaper. It can provide monks with a certain amount of reaction time to deal with trouble.
At this time, Lin Shan's pocket could be said to be dry again, completely empty, and he could not accomplish anything.
Originally, he thought about buying a few puppets to play with, and then buying a spiritual pet to cultivate, but the reality could not support his dream.
……
Back at his residence, Lin Shan took out the things he purchased and prepared to upgrade everything that needed to be strengthened, trying to ensure that he would not fall behind among the monks in the foundation-building period.
I have just broken through the early stage of foundation building, and it can be said that I have entered a new level. But in the same way, he who was dominant in the Qi training period came to the foundation building period and became the bottom again.
However, although his cultivation level is at the bottom among the monks of the same level, as long as other means can make up for it, he may not be able to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
Lin Shan first took out the mid-level magic weapon Gale Flag and spent 16 points of Ancient Rhythm to directly strengthen it.
This big flag stood up out of thin air in an instant, and was wrapped in a cloud of mist. It was buzzing and shaking inside, and it was unknown what kind of transformation it had undergone. Finally, it fell into his hand and became
【Flowers of Falling Clouds】
Quality: High-end magic weapon
Introduction: A wind-attribute magic weapon, engraved with five advanced inscriptions: sharpness, magic resistance, spirit gathering, concealment, and magic cloud.
Strengthening requirements: 32 points
……
"Huh?"
Lin Shan looked at the introduction and saw that the enhanced skill tree this time seemed to be biased toward stealth and transmogrification.
But this is not surprising. After all, the enhancement is inherently random. The Gale Flag is originally balanced in terms of offensive and defensive power. It is understandable that the enhanced Cloud Falling Banner has two other unwanted effects.
The head of the flag can be used as the tip of a spear, and it can be used as an attacking magic weapon to achieve a good effect.
The flag body can be used to resist spells, but it is best not to be connected to weapons, otherwise it will be easily cut off by the ultimate attacking magic weapon.
The spirit gathering effect is a real auxiliary effect, there is nothing much to say.
Concealment is good, it can cover up the aura.
Combined with the magic cloud, it directly becomes a cloud in the sky, which can be said to be perfectly hidden.
"Multifunctional magic weapon!"
Compared with the ultimate physical defense of the Cloud Bronze Heart Mirror and the multi-attribute attacks of the Five Elements Fan, the Falling Cloud Banner can be said to have greatly made up for other means.
After Lin Shan practiced the ritual with his spiritual consciousness, he felt relaxed and relaxed. He urged the small flag to wrap around his figure, and a long white cloud floated in the wind in the cave.
When passing by the big tree in the courtyard, you can even walk right through it.
Confusing the real with the fake is no different than the white clouds in the sky.
“Not bad, not bad!”
Lin Shan put away the Cloud Falling Flag with satisfaction, and after thinking about it, he still had no intention of upgrading the magic weapon.
Because that day at Diaotuo Island in the East China Sea, Lin Fan seemed to have said when he took out the magic weapon of the Sea-Building Pearl that only the magic power of a monk at the golden elixir stage could activate the magic weapon.
Mana is the new energy produced after the golden elixir stage monks condense the golden elixir and transform their spiritual power. The foundation-building stage monks still have spiritual power in their bodies, but the quality cannot be compared with mana power at all.
Unable to activate it, the magic weapon can only exert its original unique performance.
For example, the "water-repelling" effect of sea-repelling pearls, or the sharpness of certain magical swords, the hardness of shields, etc. are passive physical properties that do not require activation. Therefore, even if I strengthened it into a magic weapon, apart from being unable to use it, I also lost a means in vain, which was obviously not worth the gain.
Instead, he took out the Wind Escape Talisman and the Fire Talisman from the storage bag. There is no problem in strengthening the talisman. After all, the talisman can be activated directly without any prerequisites.
After thinking about the Wind Escape Talisman, Lin Shan decided to put it aside for now.
After all, if you use the Wind Escape Talisman during the foundation building period, you should basically be able to run away even if you can't defeat others. There is no need to strengthen it for the time being.
Moreover, the talisman is just a consumable item, and it would be almost the same if it were a wind escape technique!
But the other Fire Talisman is different. This high-level talisman is just equivalent to a monk in the foundation building stage using a high-level spell to hit with all his strength. It is a good trump card for the Qi training stage, but for me now in the foundation building stage But it is dispensable.
However, he spent two hundred spirit stones to buy it for no other reason than to strengthen it into a small magical talisman and seal!
The reason why I didn’t buy the high-level wind talisman to strengthen it was to buy this fire talisman. It's not because he has a soft spot for strengthening the "Fire Burning Sky Talisman", but because among the high-level talismans, only the Fire Talisman is the cheapest.
Compared to the price of two hundred spiritual stones for the Fire Talisman, the Wind Talisman can be sold for five hundred Spiritual Stones, which is something that a poor man like him cannot afford.
He has already overdrawn his salary from the auction house for the next year. He can't make any money before leaving Yichuan. If he has a high-level talisman, he can just strengthen it first.
Anyway, he had seen the power Lin Fan used that time, and he basically knew it.
"Fire Talisman, strengthen!"
The high-level talisman in his hand instantly filled the entire secret room with bright light. Countless cracks appeared on the original ghost-painted talisman, and beams of light shot out, startling Lin Shan.
There seemed to be a shadowy figure on the talisman paper. He set up an altar to offer sacrifices, and his pen moved like a dragon and a snake. The free lines between heaven and earth were attracted, and finally merged into a fiery red square talisman seal.
【Fire Starts the Prairie Talisman】
Quality: Small Magic Talisman Seal
Introduction: The fire magical power sealed in the talisman is equivalent to a full blow of a small magical power by a monk in the late Jindan period. It is a group-wide damage and can only be used once.
Strengthening requirements: 64 points
……
This time, it cost 32 ancient charm points to strengthen from the high-level talisman, but it was worth it in exchange for an ultimate trump card.
The reinforced panel products are naturally high-quality products of the same level, and the quality and performance are directly matched.
In the later stage of Jindan, he can use small magical powers, even if it is not a single attack but a group-wide damage.
If you are in the center of the power during the Foundation Establishment Stage, you will most likely not be able to survive. Presumably, the average monk at the early stage of the Golden Core Stage will be seriously injured.
"The Fire-Starting Prairie Talisman and the Fire-Burning Sky Talisman should have similar effects. Are they both a series of magical powers?"
Lin Shan didn't worry too much about the difference in names. Anyway, the introduction to the enhanced panel was clear and powerful, so there was no need to take it too seriously. After all, the strengthening results are not exactly what he expected, it just needs to be about the same.
This little magical talisman of mine must be much stronger than Lin Fan's.
The talismans refined by monks of different golden elixir stages naturally have different powers. He is so confident in strengthening the panel!
Next, Lin Shan took out the Qi-training technique "Wind and Thunder Jue" that he bought. The quality of the technique also determines the quality of the spiritual power in his body. To strengthen it, he must choose the one that suits him best.
However, this enhancement is somewhat unexpected. The original "Wind and Thunder Technique" seems to have a ready-made follow-up technique in the world of immortality, which has been developed by the predecessors, so after the enhancement, it is still called "Wind and Thunder Technique".
【Wind and Thunder Jue】
Quality: Foundation Building Technique
Introduction: Created by "Ouyang Feng", an abandoned disciple of the Zixiao Sect, thousands of years ago, the wind and thunder skills are practiced by fellow practitioners of the second series. After being practiced, the spiritual power in the body is transformed into wind and thunder to live together, doubling the power.
Strengthening requirements: 32 points
……
"Purple Xiao Sect abandoned its disciple Ouyang Feng?"
"To be able to create a dual-system martial art like Wind and Thunder Technique, he must be a big shot!"
"Thousands of years ago? It doesn't seem too far away"
"You can send an email and ask Lin Fan."
After thinking about it, Lin Shan simply took out a transmission talisman, just in time to write a reply to Lin Fan's previous text message bombardment, and also included his curiosity about "Ouyang Feng".
Afterwards, with a wave of his hand, the transmission talisman flew to the mailbox of Yichuan Foreign Affairs Hall. Naturally, there would be a special postman "Hyacinth" from the cultivation world to deliver the letter for him.
Since I was really penniless, I had no choice but to set up "cash on delivery postage".
There was no way, it really wasn't him, the casual cultivator was so embarrassed, he could only ask Lin Fan to give him a cushion first, and pay it back later when he had money.
After finishing this small episode, Lin Shan began to change the cultivation method. There were only 40 points of Gu Yun left, which he planned to keep for himself as a retreat.
After all, if you really encounter an irresistible danger, you will need to strengthen a magic weapon or a small magical talisman to resist, and you will need at least 32 points of ancient charm support.
If he is not in danger and has reached the peak of the early stage of foundation building, he may need to strengthen the elixir again when he needs to break through. If he still does not find additional ancient rhyme at that time, the remaining ancient rhyme will be a valuable pillar for him to break through.
After all, the Black Lotus Sect is a major sect of demons, with many masters in it. Although I have reached the foundation building stage, I am not sure whether I can come into contact with the Black Lotus Buddha statue and absorb the ancient charm. It is necessary to keep some ancient charm as a reserve.
Just like the foreign exchange reserves in previous lives, it protects against external risks.
With less than a year left at the moment, the only thing he has to do is to switch skills as soon as possible.
Replace the original "Xunfeng Jue" with the "Wind and Thunder Technique".
