Chapter 68: The spirit stone is obtained, and the sound of the jade rock
"Senior Brother Gu, you are here!"
"Today is the last time to collect silk. After today, the Caiyun Spider will completely fall into It’s hibernating and will no longer spin silk.”
On Linghe Island, snowflakes were falling, and the girl was covered in silver. She stood in front of the cave and said to the tall young man.
Because the Spirit Beast Hall has to raise spirit beasts, the four seasons are the same as the outside world, and heavy snow falls on the island.
"Thank you, junior sister, for informing me."
Gu Yuan chuckled softly.
“I really envy my senior brother. He is so advanced that he can complete the task of collecting spider silk and earn twenty spiritual stones every half month. In these two months, he should have earned sixty spiritual stones! "
"Unlike me, I can only cut grass for Cangyun Linghe and feed spiritual water to Fire Crow Bird. Each of me can only earn two or three Lingshi. In the past two months, I have only earned it. Just a dozen spiritual stones.”
“It’s really annoying to be compared to others!”
The girl in colorful clothes crossed her fingers to make a calculation, and then couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing this, Gu Yuan could only shake his head and chuckle.
If the girl knew that she was collecting spider silk not for the spirit stones, but for the spirit stone veins behind the Water Curtain Cave, I wonder if she would be envious to death.
However, Gu Yuan naturally would not tell her about this, but he had an inexplicable realization in his heart.
"Working...it is impossible to climb the immortal path in this life."
"The Book of Tribulation Cultivation is right. Practice can be stable, don't rush for success, but to earn spiritual stones, you still need to have more sources of income, and you can't work blindly..."
"Oh, Senior Brother Gu, you have to Don’t you want a Taoist companion?”
At this moment, the girl in colorful clothes suddenly turned her head and blinked at Gu Yuan.
“You?”
The two were already familiar with each other and were not so indifferent. Gu Yuan glanced at the girl, and then couldn't help but chuckle.
Although the girl is pretty and charming, with white and tender skin, in the world of spiritual practice, her appearance is only average, not to mention... she has an average figure.
Can't arouse the slightest interest in Gu Yuan.
"It's not me!"
The girl wrinkled her nose, a little dissatisfied, but still grabbed Gu Yuan's sleeve and whispered: "It's Yun Hanxiu, Senior Sister Yun !”
“Although Senior Sister Yun also comes from a poor family, she is very talented. She is already at the seventh level of Qi training in her early twenties, just like Senior Brother You!”
"And she can also make alchemy. A foundation-building director of the Alchemy Academy seems to have taken a liking to Senior Sister, and is planning to accept Senior Sister Yun as a disciple next time she leaves seclusion!"
"How about it, Gu Senior brother, do you want to give it a try? I have a good relationship with Senior Sister Yun, and I can help you match her up!"
The girl said softly.
"How dare you marry a wife if you don't succeed in the right way?!"
Gu Yuan just shook his head.
"Senior Brother, your spirit is so high. However, through the ages, how many people have been able to achieve Taoism, and in the end, they are not reproducing? Many aristocratic families in the Taoist Academy have evolved in this way."
"Senior Sister Yun is not in high demand right now. , when she becomes a disciple, you may not be able to catch up with Senior Brother Gu!”
“This opportunity is not to be missed!”
The girl said, “Hurry up!”
But Gu Yuan patted her on the head: "Okay, go cut the grass for the crane. We will feed the firecrows later!"
As soon as she heard about cutting the grass to feed the birds, the girl's face suddenly fell. She hummed and threw off Gu Yuan's sleeves, and left reluctantly.
Looking at the girl’s leaving figure, Gu Yuan sighed.
Marry a wife, have children, and reproduce. I hope you won’t have that day!
Gu Yuan sighed in his heart, then turned around and went to the cave, collected spider silk twice, then waited until there was no one around, and finally turned to the Water Curtain Cave.
……
...
"Zhizhizhi!"
"Okay, okay, drink!"
After the waterfall in Shuiliandongtian, Gu Yuan and the double-eyed golden-backed ape, Eating spiritual fruit, drinking wine and talking happily, I was very happy. Gu Yuan was indeed happy.
The reason why he ran to Linghe Island so diligently was to complete the task of collecting spider silk. Once a Yuanfa Hall mission is accepted, it must be completed unless there is something important.
Secondly, of course, it is for the "monkey wine" and "baiweiguo" which are delicious and can improve cultivation.
These spiritual wines and spiritual fruits are valuable to the outside world, but after Gu Yuan reached a deal with the old ape, the Golden-backed Ape clan treated him with sincerity and would host a banquet for him every time he came. Fan.
Having food and drink can improve your cultivation, so why not do it?
It is better than practicing hard in Qianyuan Cave.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak." .
"Huh? Have all the spirit mines been collected?"
Gu Yuan has also understood some ape language in these days, and coupled with the movements of the spirit ape's hands, he quickly Guessed what the other party meant.
“In that case, let’s go and have a look!”
The white old ape curled up beside him also opened his eyes and said to Gu Yuan.
Then the Double-Eyed Golden-backed Ape picked up the old white ape on his back and went deep into the cave with Gu Yuan.
A huge hole has been dug out of the entire cliff, which is full of pits and devastation.
On the ground, a large number of spiritual stones are piled up together, exuding a rich luster.
"Well...the spiritual stones are all here, and there are fewer than expected. They can only be cut into 1,400 pieces."
Looking at the spiritual stones on the ground, the old ape couldn't help but sigh.
Originally, it was predicted that a total of 3,000 spirit stones could be mined from the spirit mine. However, counting the 1,400 spirit stones currently on the ground and some of the stolen goods before, only 2,800 spirit stones were mined in total.
This number is slightly less than expected.
“This has come to this, and this is the only way!”
Gu Yuan didn’t care, he was already very satisfied with getting fifteen hundred pieces.
"Okay, then please ask the Immortal Chief to take away one thousand pieces. Seven hundred pieces are divided, one hundred pieces are the compensation agreed before, and there are two hundred pieces left, which are regarded as deposits for our clan. I hope the Little Immortal Chief can get it soon. Pay attention to the earthly monsters.”
With a wave of his hand, the old ape split the spiritual stone into two halves, one large and one small.
"Aren't you afraid that I won't do anything if I take the spirit stone?"
Gu Yuan looked at the spirit stone on the ground and suddenly smiled.
"Short-sighted people may do it, but those who are ambitious will never!"
The old ape smiled calmly.
Even if you are trapped on Linghe Island, the favor of an earth demon is definitely worth a lot of money.
“Haha, since Elder Ape trusts you so much, I won’t be polite!”
Gu Yuan laughed loudly, and then with a wave of his sleeve, the spirit stone on the ground was swept up by him. in the bag.
One person and one ape looked at each other, and then they all laughed loudly.
"Dang!"
"Dang!"
"Dang!"
But at this moment, the heavy bells resounded endlessly, echoing throughout the Qingfeng. Taoist temple.
When the old ape heard the sound, his expression suddenly changed.
"Golden Bell and Jade Pan? The Taoist Academy is going to conquer again?"
"The little immortal didn't leave his name on the red gold jade book, right?"
The old white ape looked at Gu Yuan worriedly .
"It doesn't matter, I have my own way."
But Gu Yuan just put his hands behind his back and smiled lightly.
