Chapter 857: The Incident of the Elixir
After a detailed conversation, Li Qing finally reduced the price of refining a furnace of Dust-falling Pills to 13,000 Merit Points, including the elixir of course. price tag.
Originally the price offered by Old Man Jian was eighteen thousand points, and Li Qing was so shocked that he almost ran away.
"Haha, you are good at bargaining. No one has been able to get a discount on alchemy from me for so many years. You are really the first." Old Jian said slightly dissatisfied.
Li Qing continued in a good voice: "Master Jian's words are wrong. You must know that the elixirs for refining the dust-falling pills have eccentric uses. Even if you keep those elixirs in your hands, you may not be able to use them. How useful.”
"It is unlikely that an ascended person will appear in the Tunggu Continent for tens of thousands of years. Instead of dying in your hands, it is better to use it to trade with me and make the best use of it."
Old man Jian didn't complain any more. He waved his hands and said: "Okay, okay, do you want to turn on the furnace now?"
Hearing this After saying this, Li Qing smiled bitterly and said: "I would like to start the furnace now, but I am new here, so I don't have any merit points on hand. Let's wait until I collect all the merit points."
"Hmph, then I won't keep you any longer, please do as you please." Old Jian turned around and ignored Li Qing.
After the eviction order was issued, Li Qing naturally left Old Man Jian’s cave with great interest.
He flew all the way out of the suspended island peaks. On the way, he found someone and asked about the price of renting a cave here. Unexpectedly, it cost one thousand and five merit points a year!
After learning about this, Li Qing opened his mouth and finally left the place in despair.
“I really need merit points everywhere, but it worries me to death.”
Li Qing sighed, feeling the same embarrassment he felt when he first entered the world of immortality for a long time. , I wish I could break a spiritual stone into two pieces and use it.
Walking around the city, Li Qing thought carefully for a long time and decided to sell some of his less useful items in exchange for achievement points.
If you want to set up stalls and sell items in those markets, you also need to pay merit points to the city, but they are not expensive, and you only need a little merit per day.
In order to get start-up funds, Li Qing once again came to the stone tablet in the city to accept tasks. He took over all the weapon refining tasks in one go.
For him, weapon refining is the simplest and least dangerous task. Like other tasks of collecting spiritual objects or placing bounties on human heads, they are more or less risky.
The weapon refining is different. The task can be completed in the city without any effort at all.
Most of these commissions for refining came from monks in the Dan Formation and Nascent Soul stages. Some were to repair some exotic treasures, and some were to refine new magic weapons. The requirements were clearly stated.
In this way, Li Qing traveled around the city and went directly to the monks who issued commissions to refine treasures.
A powerful person who was once invincible in the human world is now reduced to this, which is a bit sad.
Fortunately, weapon refining was not a difficult task for Li Qing. He completed the entrustment with ease almost not long after arriving.
The eyes of those who issued the commission lit up after seeing the finished product submitted by Li Qing.
“Awesome, when did Xuangu City have such a skilled weapon refiner like you? With your skill in weapon refinement, why don’t you go to Giant Spirit King City to work as a specialized weapon refiner for the Giant Spirit Clan? Teacher?”
Hearing this, Li Qing was stunned for a long time, and he asked doubtfully: "What, the giant spirit tribe will hire us humans as weapon refiners?"
"You don't know? Like us humans Alchemists, formation masters, weapon refiners, etc. are all highly valued by the Giant Spirit Clan, especially monks with outstanding skills. Will be invited to enter the royal city to practice. "
"Over the years, our human race has poached many monks who are skilled in cultivating immortals."
Silence, after hearing this. , Li Qing fell silent. After a long time, he collected the contribution points for this weapon refining commission and left.
No one had told him about these things before, but he couldn't blame others. He didn't mention that he was a weapon refiner.
"Oh, I'm still here for the first time. I don't understand anything. Otherwise, why would I have taken so many detours!" Li Qing shook his head and finally decided to stay in the human city for a while.
After all, the Lord of Void Spirit City had previously promised to give him a place to enter the Tianguang Secret Realm, so he was still very concerned about the opportunity of the Ningguang Lake.
After repeatedly walking around the city to refine weapons, Li Qing finally had 2,800 merit points on hand!
Almost all the weapon refining commissions published in the stone tablet have been completed by him, and it is estimated that there will be no new missions in the short term.
At this point, he finally stopped and immediately rented a cave on a suspended mountain island in the city for a period of one year. Most of the contribution points he had finally saved were gone.
"Well, it's not bad. At least I have a place to stay, and I don't have to run around anymore."
Entering the cave, Li Qing let out a long sigh of relief.
Although it is a bit cramped compared to his independent spiritual peak in the Lingyun Sect in the human world, it is better because of the rich spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in the cave is even vaguely atomized. It can only be said that he is worthy of the fifth-level top spiritual peak. The place of pulse.
Feeling the rich aura around him, Li Qing relaxed a lot.
He set up a layer of strict restrictions inside and outside the cave, and then took a nap to adjust his mental state to its peak.
Immediately afterwards, he opened the storage bag and counted all the things he had searched in the lower world.
“First of all, the corpse of this fifth-level Huang Daxian has not lost its true spirit. It should not be a big problem to use it to refine a simple spiritual treasure.”
“As for The fur and flesh can be dismantled and sold directly, and there should be talisman masters and body refiners coming to buy them."
“The next thing is some magical Taoism. I don’t know if I can sell some of the scattered Five Elements Taoism I got from the Five Elements Spirit Saint.”
After careful calculation, Li Qing I feel that if I take out the things I have on hand and sell them, I can probably sell them for tens of thousands of merits.
Especially for the spirit treasures made from Wong Tai Sin’s real bones, the price should not be low, but in the end it all depends on the quality of the spirit treasures after they are made!
“I originally wanted to go to the polar night world to see if I could travel between the two worlds normally, but now there is a powerful and unpredictable formation shrouding the city, and someone might be able to detect my whereabouts. Abnormal, it’s better not to travel back recently.”
Li Qing will naturally not forget that the imperial guards of the city lord’s palace found his location with incomparable accuracy.
Finally, he held the miniaturized Tianmiao Immortal Mansion in his hands.
The next moment, his figure erratic and entered this fairy mansion in an instant.
Li Qing's spiritual thoughts moved slightly, and the situation in the entire Immortal Mansion came into his mind.
Jiu'er built a nest among several medicinal fields and peaks, and was still soundly asleep, seemingly untouchable.
“Hey, these elixirs are growing so fast, is it because they have arrived in the spirit world?” Soon, Li Qing saw that the elixirs planted in several medicine gardens had grown a lot taller. The vitality is extremely strong.
"Yes, this spiritual world is really a treasure land. The prosperity of the avenue is not without reason."
"I have only been in this world for such a short period of time. These elixirs that grow very slowly in the lower world are actually almost a hundred years old!"
Li Qing was deeply surprised by this. He felt that this Things are a bit unbelievable. Although one sun-moon rotation in the spiritual world is indeed equivalent to several days in the lower world, it does not grow so fast.
"If the environment in the spiritual world is like this, then how many high-year elixirs in this world are as useless as grass?"
Li Qing frowned, feeling that something was wrong with this matter.
“Is it because of this fairy mansion?”
He has only now reached the third level of Tongbao Jue, and he has not completely controlled Tianmiao Immortal Mansion. Whether it is for this reason, Li Qing does not dare to make a decision.
Immediately afterwards, Li Qing noticed that Jiu'er did not seem to be simply sleeping. Although her breath was long and steady, she was undergoing transformation!
"It turns out that Xi has begun to transform. It seems that she has also benefited a lot in an environment like the spiritual world."
After that, Li Qing had a thought and appeared in In another medicinal field, Kirin Purple Blood Ginseng is planted here.
Now these Kirin purple blood ginseng have grown into the shape of small ginseng, and are no longer in their original ginseng state.
"Although there have been some changes, the growth rate is far less than that of other elixirs. Is it because they were not planted for a long time?"
I'm afraid not!
Li Qing came to the bottom of Yaotian Peak again, and a beehive was opened here. He had placed the fire jade beehive in the lower realm here.
Today's Fire Jade Queen Bee has reached the level of the third-level spiritual insect. She is still some distance away from the fourth-level level, but it is not too far away.
“Although the Fire Jade Queen Bee has also undergone some changes in the spiritual world, she has not undergone transformation like Jiuer.”
"The same is true for the original golden silkworms. The changes are not big."
After confirming the status of all the elixirs and spiritual insects in Tianmiaoxian Mansion, Li Qing's mind started to spin rapidly. It seemed like he knew something.
“What caused such changes in spiritual insects and elixirs is probably not the fault of Tianmiao Immortal Mansion, but the source.”
“Whether it is the elixirs in the medicine field, It’s Jiu’er, they have one thing in common, they all come from the Extreme Night World!”
“Yes, the time flow rate in the Extreme Night World is three times that of the human world, and the human world lasts only seven days! It’s equivalent to a day in the spiritual world!”
"After this conversion, the difference in time flow rate between the spiritual world and the extreme night world is almost twenty-one times."
Li Qing made a bold judgment. He guessed that the elixir was brought from the extreme night world to the spiritual world. Ancient species will mature at twenty times the rate!
That is to say, as long as it takes ten years to plant it, it will be equivalent to a two-hundred-year-old elixir!
It won’t even take fifty years from now, then these elixirs in his medicine garden will become extremely rare thousand-year-old elixirs!
This conjecture made Li Qing's heart skip a beat. He took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions.
"Yes, in the past, when things from the polar night world were brought to the human world, there would be some changes. However, because the avenue environment in the lower world was not prosperous, and the flow of time was only three times faster, the changes were not too big and difficult to detect. "
"But whether this guess is correct or not remains to be seen. It will take a few years to determine."
"If these elixirs can still grow at such an exaggerated rate, then my guess is that it is close to ten."
At first thought. At this point, Li Qing seemed to have remembered something and quickly came to the space under several medicinal field peaks.
This is where he planted the blood lotus. Now the blood pool is empty again, but as Li Qing expected, the blood lotus has changed quite a lot. The entire underground space is occupied by lotus petals. A huge bloody rosette sits at the bottom.
However, due to the lack of blood, this strange blood lotus looks a little sluggish. It is extremely thirsty for blood, all kinds of blood.
Seeing this scene, Li Qing was silent for a while, and finally opened up a larger space here, and then put up several layers of restrictions to seal the place.
“The top priority is to connect the meridians in my body first, then restore my cultivation mana, and finally make the best use of that fifth-level yellow skin, in exchange for enough merit points, let Old Man Jian give it to me Refining Dust-falling Pill ”
“ After everything settles down, we can then think of ways to utilize the resources of the Extreme Night World."
Li Qing had never thought that after arriving in the spirit world, the Extreme Night World would still be of such value to him. Big, even far greater than when it was in the lower realm.
Just the changes brought about by this time difference in flow rate to the ancient elixir species would probably be enough to benefit him for the rest of his life.
If he hadn't been monitored by formations in the city, he would have wanted to travel to the polar night world, turn over the entire polar night world, collect all the ancient spiritual seeds, and bring them to the spiritual world for planting. !
Leaving Tianmiao Immortal Mansion, Li Qing put the Immortal Mansion away properly, and then began to recover from his injuries.
In this way, for more than twenty days, Li Qing stayed in the cave and never went out.
Finally, the meridians in the body were only one step away from succeeding, but Li Qing was able to restrain himself.
He was worried that once his magic power returned to the stage of divine transformation, it would directly lead to a disaster.
Although he wanted to see what a catastrophe that was several times more powerful would be like, considering the possible danger of death, he still gave up and only let his mana stay at the peak of Nascent Soul.
Just when Li Qing took out the yellow leather and prepared to dismantle it and refine it into a spiritual treasure, another idea came to his mind.
“If I put some elixir seeds into the polar night world, let the heaven and earth environment there corrode them, and then bring them back after a period of time, will those elixir seeds also be destroyed by the polar night? What about the assimilation of the world's heaven and earth environment? "
As soon as this idea came up, it was a bit out of control. Li Qing really felt that this matter had great potential.
And even if it fails, it will only result in the loss of some elixir seeds, which is not a big loss.
Compared to older elixirs, spiritual seeds are not very valuable and can be collected easily.
Thinking of this, Li Qing decided to look back and see if there were any spiritual seeds for sale in the city.
Although it is a small human town on the border, it is still in the spirit world after all. It is estimated that there will not be too few rare elixir seeds.
