Chapter 149 Rewards and New Talents [Spiritual Flame Cultivation] (Please subscribe)
The excitement in the Zhou family lasted for several days, and people came to visit every day, both familiar and unknown. .
Some people came to visit to establish friendship, some came to marry Zhou Ling, and some asked Li Ru how to raise children under the guise of buying spiritual wine...
Li Ru was full of joy at first and received them one by one, but too many people came every day, which seriously affected the efficiency of wine making, causing the winery's business to be unable to keep up.
Li Ru gradually became troubled and could only go to the wine shop early in the morning and no longer receive visitors.
Zhou Ling also went to Maple Leaf Mountain early in the morning to practice. After another seven or eight days, the Zhou family gradually returned to peace.
This morning, the breeze was blowing and the air was fresh.
A sudden heavy rain last night swept away the sweltering heat of Lingxia Fairy City these days.
There is still a lot of water on the streets.
Zhou Ling walked briskly and arrived at the entrance of Tiangong Si Hall early in the morning.
Zhou Lingjiao arrived at the miscellaneous office in the side hall with ease and saw Deacon Qin standing there waiting for him with a warm smile on his face.
He walked over, bowed his hands and said, "Meet the deacon."
Deacon Qin stopped and said in a gentle voice, "No need to be so polite, sit down and talk."< br>
After Zhou Ling sat down at the side, an assistant served him spiritual tea.
Deacon Qin also took a sip of the spirit tea, then took out an exquisite jade box from the storage ring and said with a smile, "Brother Ling, this is your reward for ranking first in this assessment!"
"Thank you, deacon!"
Taking the jade box, Zhou Ling thanked him with a beaming face.
This is the reward for the leader of this fighting competition!
Zhou Ling had some expectations in his heart.
But there was no rush to open the jade box. After all, he still wanted to leave a calm impression on Deacon Qin.
"In addition to the rewards in the jade box, the other is the Taoist Temple's foundation seed quota."
"This is also extremely rare, especially in your current situation."
Deacon Qin's tone was slightly concerned. said.
Taking a sip of spiritual tea, he continued, "Although your spiritual root qualifications are not outstanding, your talent in understanding and cultivation is very high. You are a very good disciple I have met over the years."
< br>“However, for monks, spiritual root qualifications are an extremely important part.”
"This is related to future achievements."
"Furthermore, what you practice is still the Five Elements Attribute Kung Fu. When the time comes to build the foundation, you will need more auxiliary spiritual objects, so after entering the Taoist Academy, We need to be more prepared.”
“Thank you for the reminder, deacon!” Zhou Ling said thanks.
Master also said that in the "Five Elements Qianyang True Jue", if you can gather five kinds of spiritual flames with different attributes in the future, you can build your own foundation, and you may even be able to build a heavenly foundation.
But it’s very difficult.
Fortunately, I already have beast flames and green lotus spirit flames in my hands. The other three attribute spirit flames can only be found slowly.
After all, spiritual beings like spirit flames from heaven and earth are hard to come by.
Sometimes it depends on luck!
And I have just entered the seventh level of Qi training. It will take two or three years at the fastest to reach the ninth level of Qi training.
“In addition, the Land Patrol Envoy has promised to give you the recommended quota for the first-grade professional title of Tiangong Division.”
"There will be an assessment opportunity in October, you should seize it."
"There are not many such opportunities. If you miss it once, it will be very difficult to get it again in the future!"
" And when it comes to the first-grade professional title assessment, the difficulty is no less than that of the second-grade inscription."
"As for the refining of the second-grade inscription, it not only requires sufficient spiritual power, but also requires the power of the soul to assist in tempering. "Refining."
"If you don't understand anything about imprinting before going to Xuanyuan Taoist Academy, you can come and ask me!"
After Deacon Qin finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
Zhou Ling also thanked Deacon Qin again and took the opportunity to ask Deacon Qin some questions about imprinting.
Although there are talent aids such as [The more frustrated you become, the more courage you get] and [Intermediate Analysis], the inscriptions and imprints are cumbersome and complicated, involving various inscriptions and imprints with different attributes.
Materials, spiritual ink development, drawing techniques, imprint compounding and many other factors.
Even if he can successfully draw the imprint, there are still many things that he has not fully understood.
Therefore, there are many doubts accumulated in my mind.
With the guidance of a senior second-grade inscription master like Deacon Qin, not everyone in Lingxia Fairy City has such an opportunity.
In the past six months, I have left a good impression on Deacon Qin, plus I have a good relationship with He Zijian. If it were anyone else, Deacon Qin would not be able to take care of so much!
After adding the spiritual tea in the tea cup twice, Zhou Ling still had many questions, but other people came to visit from time to time.
Deacon Qin could only ask Zhou Ling to go back first and ask again when he has time.
After Zhou Ling cupped his hands and thanked him, he left the chore hall.
With the blessing of talent, these problems that trouble him are often solved in one point and do not require too much explanation from Deacon Qin.
After leaving the Tiangong Division Miscellaneous Hall, Zhou Ling returned home.
Along the way, people he met and people he didn’t know greeted him with a smile.
Zhou Ling also politely returned the favor one by one.
His parents had already gone to the wine shop. After Zhou Ling took a sip of water, he took out the rewarded crystal jade box.
After opening it, I saw a finely crafted spiritual pen inside the jade box. The barrel of the pen was made of crystal jade, and the tip of the pen was made of tough yet soft hair.
“A second-level low-grade spiritual pen.”
Zhou Ling’s eyes lit up.
The spiritual pen he is using now is a top-grade first-grade one, which is sufficient for the time being.
However, if you want to refine the second-level imprint in the future, this magic pen can be used just right.
There is also a bottle of first-grade high-grade Heqi pill and three shiny spiritual stones.
The spiritual energy contained in these three spiritual stones is far richer and more pure than that of low-grade spiritual stones.
“This should be the middle grade spirit stone!”
Taking out the middle grade spirit stone, Zhou Ling looked happy.
The reward for this leader is indeed generous.
The second-level low-grade spiritual pen is worth hundreds of spiritual stones.
A bottle of first-grade, top-grade, one-dan pattern Heqi pills contains three pills, which costs two or three hundred spirit stones anyway.
This time's reward, calculated, is close to four thousand low-grade spiritual stones.
This is a big profit.
You know, for ordinary Qi training and casual cultivation, you can earn ten low-grade spiritual stones a month, which is already considered good.
Putting away the spirit stone, Zhou Ling was in a good mood.
Now that I have three middle-grade spiritual stones, plus more than three hundred low-grade spiritual stones, I can prepare to change to a more spacious house with more spiritual energy.
Afterwards, I packed up my things and headed to Maple Leaf Mountain.
In the evening, when I returned home, my mother had prepared four dishes and one soup. Spiritual animal meat, steamed spiritual fish meat, stewed chicken soup, etc. were all spiritual foods.
"Hey, it's true that Aunt Chu comes here every day to marry Ling'er!"
"I clearly refused, and she even said she would bring her girl here to show her!"
< br>Taking off the waist apron, Li Ru shook his head helplessly and said.
Zhou Shan also smiled and said, "I also have good intentions!"
"Dad, mother, these are the three middle-grade spiritual stones and Heqi Pills that I won as a reward from the leader this time!"
What Zhou Ling was most afraid of was talking about a kiss, so he hurriedly interrupted the conversation between the two of them, took out the jade box, and smiled to his parents.
"Mid-grade spirit stone!"
Looking at the dazzling spirit stone in the jade box, which was a little brighter than the crystal lamp, Li Ru and his wife looked surprised.
"Dad, Mom, now that we have a spiritual stone in our family, I wonder if we should move to a place near the Taoist temple where spiritual energy is more abundant."
Zhou Ling spoke up road.
"Ling'er, our house has enough spiritual energy now, and the wine shop is still doing business for the neighbors. It's not very suitable to move out now!"
Li Ru took out the middle-grade spiritual stone and looked at it carefully. After a while, he put it back again, thought about it and said to Zhou Ling.
Seeing that his parents seemed unwilling to leave here, Zhou Ling couldn't say anything.
Nowadays, the winery can earn a lot of spiritual stones every month just from the business of He Family Restaurant.
What the neighbors buy are basically ordinary spiritual wines, and they don’t make much money.
But Zhou Ling still respected his parents' decision and didn't say anything more.
I grilled a big mouthful of rice and ate a big chicken leg.
"Ling'er, now you are in the late stage of Qi training, and you will go to Qingyun Fairy City in the next month."
"It is said that the spiritual energy there is much richer than Lingxia Fairy City, and the prices are It’s also high. You can keep these middle-grade spiritual stones and Heqi Pills. It will definitely cost a lot to get to the Taoist Temple!”
Li Ru closed the jade box and smiled to Zhou Ling.
Zhou Ling thought for a moment, took out the elixir bottle, handed it to his mother, and said with a smile, "Mom, take this elixir, and I'll keep the spirit stone."
Nowadays, the business of the wine shop is not bad, and the profit is earned The spiritual stones are enough for my parents’ daily cultivation expenses.
Keep this middle-grade spiritual stone for yourself, it will be useful in the future!
Li Ru wanted to say something else, but seeing that his son had already stuffed the elixir bottle into his hand, he didn't say much.
Then the whole family ate happily.
Bang bang bang!
"Brother Zhou, open the door quickly, Xu Jiu is injured!"
Just after eating, there was a rapid knock on the door outside.
When Zhou Ling heard it, he realized it was Chu Xing’s voice.
Hearing this, Zhou Shan hurriedly walked out of the hall without shoes and opened the door for Chu Xing.
Zhou Ling also got up and followed him out.
Li Ru, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, also came out.
"Brother Chu, what's wrong?"
Opening the door, Zhou Shan asked hurriedly.
Zhou Ling saw that under the cover of night, illuminated by the faint light of the red lantern at the door, Chu Xing's robe had many signs of tears.
There was still some dried blood on the cheek.
“Let’s talk inside!”
Chu Xing glanced at the street, then hurried in and closed the door.
Looking at Chu Xing’s actions, Zhou Shan’s family couldn’t help but be startled. Wasn’t it said that Xu Jiu was injured?
After entering the main room, Zhou Shan hurriedly poured a bowl of wine for Chu Xing.
Chu Xing took a big sip directly.
"Brother Chu, what's wrong with Lao Jiu?"
Zhou Shan asked hurriedly, his expression full of concern.
Although it has been a while since we went into the mountains, the life-and-death friendship formed by the members of the medicine search team will not change.
Chu Xing exhaled, his expression solemn, and he lowered his voice and said, "Today, when Lao Jiu and I were looking for elixirs in the south of Heixia Mountain, we accidentally discovered a small spiritual mine in a valley."
"We are also very excited. With this spiritual mine, life will be easier for our brothers from now on!"
"But who knew that we would meet several Li family monks soon after leaving the valley."
"Li Mu attacked us directly. We were short of manpower and could only flee in a hurry."
"Fortunately, we were familiar with the terrain and finally escaped their pursuit."
" However, Xu Jiu was still hit by Li Mu’s black evil fist, and now he is poisoned and the situation is not optimistic.”
Hearing this, Zhou Shan frowned, "It's actually the Li family!"
Zhou Ling turned his eyes and asked, "Uncle Chu, did the Li family also discover the spirit mine? That's why they attacked you. . ”
I have studied basic theoretical knowledge in the Taoist Academy for many years, which also involves spiritual minerals.
Spiritual Mine is a crystal that is condensed into solidified spiritual energy.
After mining and processing, these crystals can become the spiritual stones circulating in the market today.
Even if it is just a very small first-level mineral vein, the amount of spiritual stones contained in it is definitely considerable.
Zhou Ling thought that Xu Jiu and the others had said a while ago that the Li family monks often appeared in the mountains these days, maybe in search of this spiritual mine?
A small spiritual mine will cause even two foundation-building families to fight.
Obtaining a spiritual mine is enough to greatly increase the family's heritage.
What's more, Xu Jiu and Chu Xing are just casual cultivators.
Chu Xing thought for a moment and shook his head, "It seems that they haven't discovered the location of the spirit mine yet, and they didn't mention the spirit mine in their words."
"They only dared to treat Xu Jiu and I because we were alone." Take action!"
"Brother Ling, I have to ask you to find Doctor Wang this time."
"Uncle Chu, Uncle Xu was only injured by the Black Evil Fist!" Turning his eyes, he asked in a deep voice.
If it is not for the spiritual mine, then the Li family is deliberately dealing with the medicine-seeking team. Maybe, their purpose is to deal with themselves.
Zhou Ling thought quickly in his mind.
After all, in this assessment, I directly destroyed the Li family’s favorite son, Li Yinfeng, who had blood spiritual veins!
Thinking about it, they couldn’t swallow this easily.
However, having fought against the Black Evil Fist many times in [Illusion Simulation], he has long understood the poison contained in the Black Evil Fist.
As long as these evil poisons have not invaded the sea of qi and heart veins, I can burn them out with the help of spiritual flames.
But once you enter the sea of qi or your heart, it will be dangerous.
Chu Xing nodded.
Zhou Ling said immediately, "Mom, you go find Aunt Wang. I'll go with Uncle Chu to see Uncle Xu first."
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Li Ru Nod hastily.
Then he hurried out.
As Zhou Ling won the first place in the examination of the Fourth Avenue Academy, no one now treats him as a child.
Coupled with his calmness in doing things, the three adults subconsciously obeyed his arrangements at this time.
Then, Zhou Ling and his son and Chu Xing went to Xu Jiu's home not far away.
The layout of Xu Jiu's family is similar to that of Zhou Ling's family, except that it is smaller.
The weak light of the candle lamp flickered.
Xu Jiu, who was seriously injured and unconscious, was lying in the main room.
Aunt Xu's face was full of tears, and she wiped the blood from the corner of Xu Jiu's mouth with a clean rag.
Two children, only four or five years old, stood beside their mother in a sensible manner without speaking.
"Brother Chu, Brother Zhou, what should we do?"
Seeing Chu Xing and the others walking in, Aunt Xu couldn't help sobbing anymore.
"Doctor Wang will be here soon, everything will be fine!"
Chu Xing said in a deep voice.
Aunt Xu choked and nodded.
“Auntie, let me take a look!”
Zhou Ling walked to Xu Jiu and held his hand.
"Brother Ling, what are you doing?" Aunt Xu asked.
“I practice fire-attribute skills, which can restrain the evil poison of the Black Evil Fist.”
“I want to use my spiritual power to help Uncle Xu remove the poison from his body. The evil poison may have an effect."
Zhou Ling explained.
Xu Jiu felt a chill coming from his hand.
You must know that the weather is June now, the hottest time of the year in Lingxia Fairy City.
"Is this possible?" Aunt Xu asked as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
“We can only give it a try first. At least we can suppress the spread of the poison!”
Zhou Ling did not dare to speak too highly.
After all, although he could control the spirit flames, it would be difficult if Xu Jiu's meridians could not withstand the heat of the spirit flames.
"Then I'll trouble Brother Ling!" Aunt Xu nodded.
Now Zhou Ling has a high status among the neighbors, and people also trust him.
Zhou Ling nodded, and then circulated the Green Lotus Spirit Flame, condensing a faint cyan spirit flame on the palm of his hand.
Then, controlling the spirit flame, he cautiously injected it into Xu Jiu's meridians along his arm.
During this process, Zhou Ling simultaneously circulated the wood-attribute spiritual energy in his body to protect Xu Jiu's meridians.
[You are controlling the Green Lotus Spirit Flame, meticulousness +1, Green Lotus Spirit Flame control proficiency +1]
[Growth talent, Spirit Flame cultivation: With the help of Spirit Flame, you can warm and nourish Meridians, heal injuries and detoxify, and speed up the recovery of spiritual energy. To achieve the requirements: perform ten times of meridians warming and nourishing. 】
At this time, a prompt appears on the panel.
Zhou Ling concentrated on controlling the spirit flames and did not pay attention to the panel.
As the spiritual flames slowly flowed through Xu Jiu's body, a meridian cycle circulated.
Zhou Ling just breathed out.
Then he put the spirit flame back into his body.
At this time, Xu Jiu's originally cold skin gradually turned red, traces of black air seeped out, and the solidified spiritual power in his body gradually began to flow. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes.
“Wake up!”
"Brother Ling is so awesome!"
Chu Xing praised with a smile on his face.
“Me!”
As soon as Xu Jiu spoke, there was a loud sound, a mouthful of black blood spurted out, and then he fainted again.
“Dad!”
"Dad!"
Aunt Xu and the two children were also frightened and cried out.
Zhou Ling was also surprised. There was no problem in the detoxification process just now.
And because I was worried about hurting its meridians, I also used the wood-attribute spiritual energy to cover the Qinglian Spirit Flame.
With the strength of Xu Jiu’s meridians at the seventh level of qi training, there will be no damage.
I was a little overwhelmed for a while!
Fortunately at this moment, footsteps came from outside.
Li Ru hurriedly walked in with Wang Yu.
“Doctor Wang!”
“Aunt Wang!”
Everyone greeted Wang Yu.
Wang Yu nodded, then stepped forward and briefly checked Xu Jiu's meridians. After a moment, he said with a smile, "Most of the evil poison in the body has been removed, there is not much danger!"< br>
Everyone was relieved.
Then Wang Yu wrote another prescription and said to Aunt Xu, "This is a prescription to nourish the meridians and remove evil toxins. You can go to the medicine hall to buy it tomorrow and take it for ten days. You should be fine. Something’s wrong!”
“Thank you, Doctor Wang!”
Aunt Xu took the prescription and hurriedly thanked Wang Yu.
“I still have to thank Brother Ling, he was the one who removed the poison, otherwise it wouldn’t have been so easy to deal with!”
Wang Yu said with a smile.
With her medical skills, she could naturally tell Xu Jiu's condition at a glance.
What's more, there is still the aura of spiritual flames in Xu Jiu's meridians.
And the only one with the Qinglian Spirit Flame is Zhou Ling.
“Thank you, brother Ling!”
Aunt Xu also thanked Zhou Ling.
“Aunt Xu is welcome!”
Zhou Ling replied.
Then he asked Wang Yu, "Aunt Wang, will it be more effective if my spirit flame helps Uncle Xu remove the evil poison?"
"No, his body has stabilized, and the remaining evil poison is no longer there." It can be completely removed by taking medicine."
"If you use spiritual flames, although the effect is much better, it will easily cause damage to the meridians!"
Wang Yu shook his head.
Zhou Ling nodded.
Zhou Shan then carried Xu Jiu, who was unconscious, into the back room.
Everyone then said goodbye to Aunt Xu and left the Xu family.
Wang Yu also said goodbye and went back.
Chu Xingze followed Zhou Shan and others to the Chu family.
My expression became much more relaxed.
"Brother Chu, what do you want to do about this matter?"
Pouring a bowl of spiritual wine for Chu Xing, Zhou Shan said angrily.
No wonder he was angry. If he hadn't been treated in time this time, Xu Jiu's life would have been sealed!
“Of course it’s impossible to just let this matter go.”
“But the Li family has two monks in the early stage of foundation building, and Li Mu is still practicing at the ninth level of Qi.”
< br>
"With the current strength of our medicine-seeking team, we are definitely no match for them, so we need to plan this matter carefully!"
Chu Xing said with a solemn expression.
Then he took another sip of spirit wine, looked at Zhou Ling, and asked, "Brother Ling, what do you want to do about this matter?"
Now in his heart , also recognized Zhou Ling very much.
In his opinion, now that Zhou Ling is a Tiangong Guard and has entered the Taoist Academy, his future achievements will definitely be far above them.
Zhou Ling thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "The monks of the Li family went into the mountain mostly for this spiritual mine. No matter what, it is naturally impossible for us to let them find the spiritual mine."
"In this situation, It depends on whether we have the strength to occupy the spirit mine!"
Hearing this, Chu Xing frowned and said, "With our current strength, we may not be able to hold the spirit mine."
< br>"How about cooperating with other drug-hunting teams?" Zhou Shan said.
In his opinion, the first priority now is to prevent the Li family from discovering the spiritual mine.
Chu Xing shook his head directly, "The other medicine-seeking teams can't be of the same mind as us, and they won't work with us to deal with the Li family!"
Zhou Ling also scratched his head and started thinking.
There are currently seven casual cultivators in the medicine-seeking team. Among them, Chu Xing is on the ninth level of Qi training. The others are in the late stage of his father's body training, Xu Jiu is on the seventh level of Qi training, and Liu Shi is on the seventh level of Qi training. The middle stage of Qi training.
With this strength, there is no chance of winning against the Li family.
“Why don’t we discuss it with He Zijian!”
At this time, Li Ru took the wine jar to pour wine for Chu Xing and Zhou Shan. Seeing the solemn expressions of the three of them, he couldn't help but say.
"Uncle Chu, do you think it is feasible to cooperate with He Zijian?"
Zhou Ling also said aloud.
Of course, he was talking about He Zijian, not the He family, so naturally he had his own concerns.
Based on his understanding of He Zijian, he would probably help with this matter.
But he didn't understand the He family.
Furthermore, the relationship between the aristocratic families is complicated. It turns out that the spirit wine of the He family’s Four Seasons Building was supplied by the Li family.
It proves that the relationship between the two families is still good.
Once these aristocratic families are involved, the matter will end up being the same as last time. At most, they will just apologize and let it go.
But now, Zhou Ling absolutely does not want such a result.
This time Li Mu attacked Chu Xing and the others, obviously intending to kill them.
If you meet your own family, it is also inevitable.
And I am going to Xuanyuan Taoist Temple in September, and my parents are obviously extremely unsafe in Lingxia Fairy City.
So, he is absolutely unwilling to take this kind of risk.
And, the most important thing is that they will definitely take revenge if they destroy Li Yinfeng.
How could he just sit back and wait for death?
Now that the Li family has gone into the mountains to look for spiritual mines, this is also their opportunity.
“He Zijian!”
Chu Xing murmured.
Then he nodded decisively and said, "No matter who it is, as long as he can help us deal with the Li family and avenge Lao Jiu, it doesn't matter even if we don't want this spiritual mine!"
"Okay, with Uncle Chu's words, my nephew can rest assured. I will discuss it with He Zijian tomorrow!"
Zhou Ling said seriously.
Then the three of them continued to discuss the situation in the mountains and the spirit mine.
