Chapter 184: One Hundred and Seventy-Seven Mixed Rock Shield (3800 words, please subscribe)
Three months later.
Halfway up Lingxiao Mountain, there is a quiet room in a courtyard.
Ling Pengyun felt that he had not been able to get help from the Spirit Gathering Pill in the past three days, so he had to take the Spirit Fruit's cultivation gains, muttering to himself with a slight helplessness on his face.
“The first-order medium and high-grade spirit fruits are only first-order spiritual objects after all, and their spiritual energy is far inferior to the second-order low-grade spirit-gathering pills. The gains from taking the spirit fruits in the past three days are not as good as the spirit-gathering pills. One day of help is really a bit slow.”
"The Spirit Gathering Formation in my hand is only a first-level low-grade one. The spiritual energy condensed by turning on this formation is not as much as the spiritual energy gained by taking the spirit fruit."
"In the future, I still have to invest my own money to buy a batch of spirit gathering array Spirit Pill."
Ling Pengyun, who has been in seclusion for six months since entering the foundation building, had consumed all the six Spirit Gathering Pills given by Ling Yunhong as early as three days ago.
Without the second-level spirit-gathering pill, he could only practice using the first-level medium and high-level spiritual fruits left over from his Qi training period.
As for setting up the first-level low-grade spirit gathering array that he bought from his clan sister Ling Penglin in the early years, it was the most inferior choice and he would not use it easily.
Directly absorbing spiritual energy to practice is not part of Ling Pengyun's practice plan. After all, this method is too slow.
Considering that there was no Spirit Gathering Pill again, and the speed of taking the spirit fruit to practice was a little slower, he planned to put down his practice temporarily, and instead patted the storage bag on his waist and took out a slap from it. Small khaki shield.
As soon as the shield was taken out, he mobilized his spiritual consciousness, poured it into the magic shield, and placed the spiritual brand in it.
This small yellow shield is called the mixed rock shield, and its grade is as high as the second-level low-grade.
Six months ago, at the beginning of this year, Ling Yunhong purchased it from Xiyang Xiaohui and gave it to Ling Pengyun.
Because the Spirit Gathering Pill had reappeared some time ago, and his cultivation was not yet stable, he had to postpone the sacrifice of this magical shield for the time being.
Now that he no longer has the Spirit Gathering Pill, he will naturally step back and sacrifice the shield, which will be put on the agenda.
This mixed rock shield is a brand new magic weapon, and it has not been imprinted with spiritual consciousness by others.
Within three days, Ling Pengyun successfully sacrificed the shield.
Once the sacrifice was successful, Ling Pengyun injected a spiritual power into the shield and started playing with it.
With the injection of spiritual power, the palm-sized mixed rock shield flashed with yellow light and suddenly grew in size.
In a blink of an eye, the shield grew to two feet long and wide.
Subsequently, the shield also held up an earthy yellow light curtain, protecting Ling Pengyun.
In order to test the defensive power of this magic shield light curtain, Ling Pengyun waved his hand and took out the twelve first-order high-grade green spirit swords used during the Qi training period from the storage bag, and used the secret formula to use these twelve flying swords. Form an Earthly Sword Formation.
As soon as the sword formation was completed, he controlled it and bombarded it on the defensive light curtain of the magic shield.
"Boom!"
The twelve flying swords formed into a sword formation bombarded the light curtain with a roar, but the Earthly Sword Formation only slightly shook the magic shield light curtain, above the light curtain. It just caused a small ripple.
Seeing this scene, Ling Pengyun couldn't help but sigh secretly.
“This kind of defensive power is indeed a defensive light curtain that can only be supported by second-level magic weapons.”
“If I were still in the realm of Qi training, I’m afraid I would use Even with all your strength, it is difficult to shatter this light curtain in a short time.”
"It seems that my first-level Green Spirit Sword is indeed difficult to keep up with my cultivation level."
"If there is a chance in the future, I will have to find a second-level offensive weapon. . ”
It is difficult for first-level defensive magic weapons to hold up the light curtain, and only second-level magic weapons can hold up the defensive light screen.
There are many reasons for this. The main reason is that only second-order spiritual iron has the ability to transform into a light curtain through the spiritual power injected by monks.
As soon as Ling Pengyun established the foundation, he told Ling Pengyun about the family’s financial situation.
In recent years, the Ling family has purchased shops in the newly established five counties and cities of Jiaozhou and purchased a foundation-building pill for Ling Pengxing, which has led to the consumption of the spiritual stones accumulated by the family for more than two hundred years. Seven, seven, eight, eight.
It would be good to be able to equip Ling Pengyun, a new foundation-building monk in the family, with a second-level defensive magic weapon that is much more expensive than an offensive magic weapon.
“Now that the mixed rock shield has been refined, it’s time to find the spirit pill.”
Ling Pengyun stood up and walked out of the quiet room, facing the only person in the clan who sold the spirit pill. Go to the general affairs hall of things.
His courtyard and the General Affairs Hall are located on a huge piece of flat land halfway up Lingyun Mountain, and they are also very close to each other.
After a while, Ling Pengyun entered the General Affairs Hall.
There was no one else in the General Affairs Hall. Only Ling Jinxian, who was in charge of the General Affairs Hall, kept fiddling with a sandalwood abacus, looking through the account books, and checking to avoid making mistakes.
"Peng Yun, have you consolidated your cultivation?" Ling Ruxian, who was checking the account books, saw Ling Pengyun arriving, raised a smile on his face, and asked.
“The third ancestor gave me six spirit-gathering pills six months ago. With the help of those six spirit-gathering pills, I consolidated my realm as early as three months ago, and even practiced three Over the past few months, I have improved a lot." Ling Pengyun said truthfully, and then revealed the purpose of his visit.
“As for my coming this time, I plan to buy the Spirit Gathering Pill.”
Ling Jin heard the words first, the smile on his face grew a little bit, and he said with a smile.
"It's good that your cultivation has been consolidated. There are quite a few in the Spirit-Gathering Pill family. The success rate of your third ancestor in refining the Spirit-Gathering Pill is over 30%. As long as you have contribution points or spirit stones, , you can buy it if you are in the family.”
“It will be cheaper if you have contributed points to buy the Spirit Gathering Pill. One hundred and forty contribution points. If you buy it with spirit stones, you need to pay two hundred spirit stones at the market price. "
"How many spirit gathering pills do you need?"< br>
The General Affairs Hall sells spiritual objects. If the clan members have contributed points to buy them, they will always be sold at 70% of the market price.
This method is also to increase the enthusiasm of the tribesmen to do things for the family.
Contribution points are different from salary and are distributed every month. Contribution points can only be obtained by doing things for the family.
Ling Pengyun's expression changed slightly when he heard Ling Ruxian asking how many spirit-gathering pills he needed to buy. He mobilized his spiritual consciousness to inject it into the storage bag and check the number of spirit stones in the storage bag.
When he found out that there were one thousand eight hundred and fifty-three spiritual stones, he spoke.
“Nine Spirit Gathering Pills.”
After saying that, he summoned 1,800 spiritual stones from the storage bag and placed them on the ground.
The one thousand eight hundred and fifty-three spiritual stones in his storage bag are the remuneration the family received from repaying Ling Pengyun for refining a thousand green spiritual swords in the past three years. He originally had 3,000 spiritual stones in three years, but more than five months ago, Ling Yunhong, who participated in the triennial Xiyang meeting in Xiyang County near the boundary of Jiaomang Lake, helped him buy three bottles of 50-year-old Changchun wine. Each bottle of Qing Ling Shui gives the family 300 spiritual stones, but 900 spiritual stones are lost.
In addition, during the three years of seclusion, he spent some spiritual stones on Feng Ying Peng, two Songhua Spirit Chickens, and the three Earth-covering Earthworms, leaving only These one thousand eight hundred and fifty-three spiritual stones.
As for the purchase of Evergreen Spiritual Water, it is given to Feng Yingpeng to take it to help it quickly enter the late stage of Qi training.
Only Feng Yingpeng who has entered the late stage of Qi training and can travel more than eight thousand miles a day will be useful to Ling Pengyun who is in the foundation building stage.
Ling Ruxian looked slightly shocked when he saw that Ling Pengyun took out one thousand eight hundred spiritual stones.
But I feel relieved when I think that Ling Pengyun once refined a large number of Qingling Swords for the family and received a lot of rewards.
"I don't have the Spirit Gathering Pill with me. I need to go to the clan treasury on the top of the mountain to get it. Please wait for me for a moment." Ling Jin said after putting away the 1,800 spirit stones. , and left the General Affairs Hall.
After waiting for a while, Ling Ruxian returned to the General Affairs Hall again.
As soon as he entered the General Affairs Hall, he took out seven medicine bottles from his storage bag and handed them to Ling Pengyun.
Ling Pengyun felt a little strange when he saw this. Generally, pills come in packages of two in a bottle.
Logically, the nine spirit-gathering pills he purchased would be enough to fit into five medicine bottles.
He mobilized his consciousness and scanned the seven medicine bottles in his hand, only to find that there were as many as fourteen Spirit Gathering Pills in them.
"Eleventh great-grandfather, why are there five more spirit-gathering pills?" Ling Pengyun said in surprise.
"You don't need to think too much. The five extra spirit-gathering pills were purchased by me with my own contribution points."
"Although these spirit-gathering pills are not many, I hope you won't be too little. There are children, but there are But there is only Grandpa Yunfu. You also know the situation of Grandpa Yunfu. Although he has many wives and concubines, he has given birth to many children, but they are all mortals and no one has spiritual roots. "
" I again You don’t have much life left. Your Grandpa Yunfu is now over eighty years old, and he only has twenty or thirty years left at most.”
“Can he have a child with his wife and concubines in his last life span?” Children with spiritual roots are not yet known.”
“Even if a child with spiritual roots is born, your grandfather Yunfu, who does not have much life left, may not be able to take care of him.”< br>
At this point, Ling Jin paused for a moment and rarely pleaded.
"Under such circumstances, if in the future, my lineage really produces a more talented child, please give me your support."
Ling Jinxian has a son named Ling Yunfu, like Ling Ruxian, is a family elder.
Ling Yunfu serves as the fourth elder of the family. He is deeply impressed by his father's talent in business and has a very high talent for doing business.
Therefore, Ling Yunfu has been sent abroad by the family all year round, and his job is to manage the family store business in various Dafang cities.
Today, Ling Yunfu personally manages a Baobao Pavilion opened by his family in Xiyangfang City, which was established in recent years.
Ling Pengyun heard Ling Ruxian's words and understood the true intention of the five spirit-gathering pills.
He had no intention of doing so.
It is human nature to pave the way for future generations.
Furthermore, Ling Ruxian was not weak in leading him. If Ling Ruxian had spiritual roots in his lineage, it wouldn't be a big deal if he helped the descendants.
"Eleventh great-grandfather, what you said is serious. Even if I don't have these five spirit-gathering pills, I will take more care of your people who have spiritual roots. My spiritual cultivation skills all come from you."
“Even the thorn vines of the natal spiritual plant are the second-level thorns you carefully selected and purchased from others at a high price. The spiritual seed of the vine, without the spiritual seed of the thorn vine that you gave me, I would never have reached my current level of cultivation so quickly."
"I will always keep this kind of kindness in my heart. If it were you. I will try my best to support those with spiritual roots regardless of their talents," Ling Pengyun said with a serious expression.
Hearing this, Ling Ruxian was extremely satisfied, and a happy smile appeared on his face. He sighed inwardly that he had not misjudged the person at the beginning, and that he had not let down the training he had given Ling Pengyun in his early years. .
“Very good, very good.” Ling Jinxian said with a smile.
"Eleventh great-grandfather, as for the five spirit-gathering pills you gave me, I won't be polite." Ling Pengyun said.
"This is natural, you can take it." With Ling Pengyun's assurance just now, Ling Jinxian was very generous.
The two then chatted for a few more words. Finally, Ling Jin told Ling Pengyun that the family would hold a year-end review at the end of the year in six months, so Ling Pengyun must come.
After agreeing to this, Ling Pengyun left the General Affairs Hall and returned to his quiet room in the courtyard.
Quiet room.
Ling Pengyun sat cross-legged on the futon, waved the fourteen spirit-gathering pills he got from this trip to the General Affairs Hall from the storage bag, looked slightly happy, and murmured to himself.
“The family now has four foundation builders, supplying four foundation builders, and needs to take out some spirit-gathering pills to put in the alchemy shops opened by the family in various cities and towns, but it still has With such a number of spirit-gathering pills, the third ancestor must have The success rate of refining this Spirit-Gathering Pill is already high.”
“This is a great thing for family monks like us. If I need the Spirit-Gathering Pill in the future, I can just go to the Family General Affairs Hall. Like an ordinary foundation-building monk, he looks around for Looking for spiritual objects like Juling Dan.”
“At the beginning, it would have been wise for the clan to exchange their share of the Xuanshui mine for the second-level alchemy inheritance.”
“But that’s it. When I think about it, the Third Grandfather is a great talent. I have only been in the alchemy field for more than ten years, but I have achieved such achievements in the alchemy field. I think that the alchemy path will not stop here. In the future, as long as I have enough spiritual stones based on my cultivation resources, I don’t have to worry about not being able to buy them. ”
Any spiritual object that reaches the second level is extremely rare. For example, second-level low-grade spirit-gathering pills are rare in shops in major cities. Only more soul-gathering pills appear in auctions in various cities.
Thinking about it this way, Ling Pengyun thought of Ling Yunhong's cultivation.
“The Third Grandfather should be only about 120 years old, and he has not been seriously injured. He still has at least 120 or 30 years to live.”
“ As early as eight or nine years ago, the Third Grandfather had already entered the fourth floor of the foundation building. Now he may have reached the fifth level of foundation building.”
“According to the Third Patriarch’s cultivation speed, if nothing unexpected happens in the remaining 120 or 30 years of his life, he will be able to break through to the foundation building level. There shouldn’t be any problems.”
"Perhaps, the third ancestor still has a chance to break through the golden elixir."
Thinking of this, Ling Pengyun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he secretly looked forward to the future achievements of Ling Yunhong, the patriarch who changed the development of the Ling family. .
