Yang Bei stared firmly at the towering trees in front of him, and he had already made a decision in his heart: stop thinking about other things and devote himself wholeheartedly to the task of cutting down trees.
He held the black ironwood ax in his hand tightly, and every time he swung it, there was a sound of breaking wind.
The dull sound made when the ax collided with the tree trunk was like a passionate war song.
If he continues at the current pace, he only needs to wait another 20 days before he can successfully obtain the dark spiritual vein map he dreams of.
Time passed by like a fleeting moment, and in a blink of an eye it was the 20th day when Yang Bei entered the dark place.
In the past few days, he had devoted almost all his time and energy to the black iron wooden axe.
After a long period of sharpening and tempering, this ax has now been successfully upgraded to level four, and its sharpness is far beyond what it used to be.
Even just a few random chops can easily knock a big tree to the ground.
However, despite having such a powerful tool, Yang Bei did not dare to act recklessly. He knew that he had to carefully hide the sharp edge of the black ironwood ax to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
So, in the process of cutting down the tree, he deliberately slowed down his movements and pretended to be very strenuous.
Finally, when he successfully sold the last black iron tree to the dark shop, he finally collected a full 100 black iron copper coins in his hand.
Looking at the heavy copper coins in his hand, Yang Bei walked to the exchange office without hesitation and chose to exchange them for the Dark Spirit Vein Diagram.
The moment he completed the exchange, a mysterious and powerful force poured directly into his mind.
A detailed map of the dark spiritual veins was clearly displayed in the depths of his consciousness. At the same time, the methods on how to practice and absorb the power of darkness and unlock the dark spiritual veins in the body were also presented.
At this moment, Yang Bei was extremely excited, because he knew that his path of cultivation was about to officially begin...
The Dark Spiritual Vein Map is like a mysterious treasure map, in which 18 extremely powerful dark spiritual veins are hidden waiting to be unlocked.
However, it is not easy to uncover the secrets in this map, because unlocking each spiritual vein requires the consumption of massive amounts of dark power.
Only by continuously accumulating and absorbing this mysterious and powerful power can the seal of the spiritual veins be opened step by step, thereby significantly improving one's own strength.
When Yang Bei finally succeeded in purchasing this precious Dark Spirit Vein Diagram, his tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little.
At this moment, the first task before him is to embark on the arduous road of cultivation, but how long will it take to unlock all 18 dark spiritual veins?
This question shrouded his mind like a fog, making it difficult to grasp.
Just as Yang Bei was buying the Dark Spirit Vein Diagram, Zhou Qing, who was standing aside, looked at him with a smile.
Zhou Qing seemed to have already understood the eagerness and desire in Yang Bei's heart, and said with a chuckle: "I guess after going through all the hard work to collect 100 black iron and copper coins, you must not be able to contain your excitement and choose without hesitation. To purchase this Dark Spiritual Vein Map”
Then, Zhou Qing encouraged: "Since you already have it, hurry up and bravely try to practice."
But at this moment, Zhou Qing changed the subject and added solemnly: "But before that, there is something important that I must tell you.
After you successfully unlock the first dark spiritual vein, please come to me.
At that time, not only will there be surprises waiting for you, but it will also provide you with a new job opportunity that is more generous, more challenging and well-paid. ”
After listening to Zhou Qing's words, Yang Bei didn't say much, but nodded slightly to show that he understood.
Judging from the current situation, the other party is only exploiting him to a certain extent, but has not yet done anything too outrageous or extreme.
At least so far, the other party has not thought of harming him.
However, after he successfully unlocks the first dark spiritual vein map, whether he will choose to come to find Zhou Qing is a matter of subsequent plot development, and he does not need to worry too much or think about countermeasures urgently for the time being.
At this moment, the first thing he had to do was figure out how long it would take to unlock the Dark Spirit Vein Diagram by hanging up.
So, he quickly opened the hang-up panel, locked his eyes tightly on the screen, and carefully checked the relevant data information.
It didn't take long for the improvement progress of the Dark Spiritual Vein Diagram and the required idle points to be clearly presented in front of my eyes.
It turns out that if you want to successfully unlock the first dark spiritual vein, you need a total of 100 idle points.
Fortunately, this AFK panel can stably provide him with 12 AFK points every day.
Calculated in this way, if everything goes well and the acquisition speed remains unchanged, it will probably take at least more than eight days to complete the unlocking of the first dark spiritual vein.
Although this time span seems a bit long, in fact, for such a difficult matter, such a speed is extremely fast and extremely rare.
During these twenty long days, he was by no means idle and wasting his time.
During this period, he spent a lot of energy and thought on in-depth exploration of the specific cultivation conditions after obtaining the Dark Spirit Vein Map.
As far as he knows, if you want to successfully unlock the first dark spiritual vein, even if you have abundant black spiritual rice as support, you will need at least half a year of hard training to achieve the goal.
Moreover, the "abundance" mentioned here is not a quantity in the general sense, but requires that a full ten kilograms of black spirit rice must be consumed every day for cultivation!
You know, these ten kilograms of black rice are worth a lot of money, they are equivalent to a black iron copper coin!
Calculated in this way, ten kilograms will be consumed in one day, and in one month, a total of thirty black iron and copper coins will be spent.
Looking at the numbers alone, it seems that this expense is not too large.
However, the actual situation is far from that simple, because there is another crucial prerequisite - that is, throughout the entire cultivation process, one must always maintain a cross-legged posture, devote oneself to it, and must not be distracted from any other activities. Business!
Only in this way can we finally break through the bottleneck after half a year under the ideal condition of sufficient supply of black rice.
Fortunately, he now has the magic AFK panel in his hand.
With the powerful help of this mysterious panel, he was able to easily overcome this difficulty and successfully complete the breakthrough in just over eight days.
There is no doubt that this amazing cultivation speed is far above everyone else.
Because of this, the wisest choice before him at this moment is to complete this breakthrough quietly and quietly, and then wait patiently for his strength to gradually increase to a strong enough level.
Until then, take your time and gradually explore and understand more of the secrets hidden behind it.
Now that I have a plan in mind, the next thing to do is to continue to start the idle training mode without any distractions.
Changed the idle target from the Black Ironwood Ax to the Dark Spirit Vein Diagram.
Currently, the AFK panel can only select one AFK target at a time.
As for whether there will be two or more idle targets in the future, he doesn't know. But he felt that it was very possible, because the on-hook panel also had levels. As long as the level of the on-hook panel was raised, his idea might not be impossible to realize.
Time flies by like a fleeting moment, and just 8 days passed in the blink of an eye.
As the experience points brought by hanging up continued to accumulate, the mysterious dark spiritual vein diagram also began to undergo an astonishing transformation without even realizing it.
At this moment, in Yang Bei's body, a powerful and profound energy was slowly gathering and condensing.
Gradually, a spiritual vein as dark as ink gradually appeared clearly, and finally formed completely in his body!
After this black spiritual vein was completely stabilized in his body, Yang Bei immediately noticed something strange - strands of dark aura continuously escaped from the spiritual vein, lingering around him.
At the same time, he clearly felt that his originally ordinary body seemed to be injected with endless power and was rapidly expanding at a staggering speed!
This growth in power is first reflected in the rich dark aura.
After careful perception and exploration, Yang Bei was pleasantly surprised to find that his newly generated dark spiritual vein could actually contain and store a full 100 strands of extremely pure dark mana!
You know, possessing such a considerable amount of dark mana will undoubtedly be a great help for his future cultivation.
Of course, since there is dark magic, the corresponding dark magic will naturally not be absent.
But for now, Yang Bei has not been able to obtain any specific secrets or inheritance of dark spells.
Despite this, he firmly believed that given time, through his unremitting efforts to explore and by chance, he would be able to master those powerful dark spells.
It is worth mentioning that, in addition to significantly improving his own strength, these dark mana also have a very practical effect - they can directly enhance the strength of Yang Bei's physical body.
However, it should be noted that this increase is only temporary and cannot be sustained for a long time.
But even so, for Yang Bei at this moment, it is already a valuable harvest.
In any case, with the successful shaping of the first dark spiritual vein in his body, Yang Bei finally gained a certain degree of self-protection ability.
Although he may still be weak compared to a truly strong man, at least he is no longer as helpless in the face of unknown dangers as before.
In the days that followed, Yang Bei decided to keep a low profile and chose to hang up silently.
Because now is not the best time to show his true strength.
If he wants to successfully hang up until the second dark spiritual vein is fully formed, he still needs to accumulate a full 200 points of hang up experience.
After some calculations, it will take about 17 days.
Therefore, he could only suppress his inner eagerness and wait patiently.
You know, under normal circumstances, it takes at least half a year for a dark spiritual vein to condense and form from scratch.
Therefore, even if Yang Bei now has a certain ability to protect himself, he is still far from being able to go deep into the dangerous dark forest to find out what's going on.
Today, he is, at best, just a newbie who has just started practicing cultivation. He only has a slight understanding and control of the power of this mysterious world.
Despite this, Yang Bei knew that he must not be complacent or take it lightly.
Therefore, he calmly calmed down, abandoned all impetuous emotions, devoted himself to hanging up, and patiently waited for the perfect opportunity that belonged to him.
Time flies by like a flash, and another 17 days have passed by in a blink of an eye!
On this seemingly ordinary day, Yang Bei was pleasantly surprised to realize that a second dark spiritual vein had successfully condensed in his body!
With the final formation of this new spiritual vein, he clearly felt that his physical strength had been significantly improved and became stronger!
At the same time, the amount of dark mana that can be contained in its body has also increased from the original 100 strands to a full 200 strands!
Next, he needs to hang up and draw the third dark spiritual vein.
If he wants to hang up and get the third dark spiritual vein, it will take him about 40 days.
But in total, it has only been two months.
Keep hanging up!
This time Yang Bei could not wait peacefully for 40 days for his third dark spiritual vein to condense and take shape in his body.
Just in the past three days or so.
The whole village suddenly entered an extremely tense atmosphere.
Zhou Qing and others came out directly and told all of them who were cutting trees and farming to go back to the village and stay there.
The danger of the dark land is coming!
The old people who came before him quickly returned to the village without saying a word after hearing the warning from Zhou Qing and others.
Yang Bei didn't have any rebellious mentality when he saw this situation.
He immediately followed the large army back to the village and stayed there.
After everyone returned to the village, the village gate was immediately put up for defense.
Guys with advanced skills were guarding the entrance to the village with weapons.
Judging from the reactions of these people, Yang Bei could basically guess what happened, which meant that there were dark creatures that might attack their village.
It didn't take long for Yang Bei's thoughts to arise.
There was soon movement outside the village.
Currently, in the minds of Zhou Qing and others, Yang Bei has no cultivation level, so he still stays in the village with the same treatment as ordinary people.
It is impossible to observe the situation outside the village because the village also has wooden walls. If you want to see the situation outside, you can only see it after climbing the wall.
Seeing danger in the village, Zhou Qing and his group stepped forward to protect the village.
Yang Bei suddenly had some changes in his views on these people.
Originally, he felt that these people were completely exploiting newcomers like them, but now it seemed that while they were getting some benefits from them, they would also pay a due price.
They paid a price to get protection from Zhou Qing and others.
It's just that Zhou Qing and the others didn't explain all this.
It seems that he is too lazy to explain.
But no matter what, maybe he needs to have a deeper understanding of these people. (End of chapter)
