Chapter 168 Ningshui Sand
On the last day of the trade fair, Li Qing began to wander aimlessly.
On the third day, the flow of people at the trade fair was already a little thin, and there were many fewer stalls.
Li Qing was wandering around, wondering if he could have some luck, when he came across a stall selling magic elixirs for the Qi Refining Stage.
Unfortunately, such an idea is doomed to fail.
Generally, this type of elixir is sold out as early as the first and second days. How could it be left for sale on the third day?
Having been wandering around for a long time, just when Li Qing gave up and was about to go home, a stall with a pile of strange sand and stones suddenly caught his attention.
"Hey, what is this?" Li Qing asked curiously with a slight movement in his heart.
The stall owner said boredly: "Condensing water sand, a spiritual material for refining weapons, do you want to buy some back?"
Hearing this, Li Qing nodded secretly, thinking in his mind The name of a medium-grade magical weapon soon emerged—Water-Tangled Snare!
This is a weapon refining diagram attached to the weapon refining inheritance he received. One of the materials that must be used to refine this magic weapon is water-condensing sand!
"How can I sell this water-condensing sand?" Li Qing asked.
Seeing that Li Qing really asked the price, the stall owner selling spiritual materials suddenly became energetic.
“Hey, this water-condensing sand was dug out from next to an exhausted spiritual spring. Although it may seem ordinary, it is a material used in weapon refining.”
Li Qing automatically filtered out the rhetoric in his ears. This person just wanted to raise the price.
"How about it? I'll charge you 30 spirit stones for one pound of condensate sand. It's definitely a very fair price!"
Hearing this price, the corner of Li Qing's mouth twitched slightly and he almost turned around and left.
I really thought he was being taken advantage of. Thirty spiritual stones per pound, and refining a water-wrapped net requires almost three pounds of water-condensing sand.
Including several other materials, it means that the cost of refining a water-wrapped snare is more than two hundred spiritual stones!
You must know that a medium-grade magic weapon on the market can be sold for about 500 spiritual stones if it reaches the sky. In addition, if the weapon fails to be refined and the spiritual materials are lost, you will have to pay for it!
Li Qing rolled his eyes and said: "Ten spirit stones per pound, you put this thing here and no one will buy it, and you charge such a high price."
"Hey, sir, you are joking. Where can I buy ten pieces of spiritual stone and one kilogram of weapon refining materials? I’m afraid I can’t find such a place in the world.”
In this way, the two began to talk anxiously. .
Li Qing clung to the bottom line of fifteen spiritual stones and was unwilling to spend another spiritual stone no matter what.
But the other party refused to give in. If it was less than twenty spiritual stones, there would be no negotiation, and they would not sell it alive or dead.
Finally, the two of them were done talking, and finally set the price at seventeen spiritual stones per pound.
About six kilograms of condensed water sand on the stall was bought by Li Qing for one hundred and two spiritual stones.
With the spirit stone in hand, Li Qing did not stay any longer and immediately changed several directions. After making sure that no one noticed him, he returned to his yard.
At the same time as he just came back, a news suddenly came from the C-character area.
Only one of the other two monks who bought the Spirit Condensing Pill successfully broke through to the late stage of Qi Refining, while the other unfortunately failed.
"His! One of them actually failed!"
"If this is true, then wouldn't it mean that we have to pay back two hundred spirit stones to the Liu family?"
"Well, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. "
"Three hundred spiritual stones were wasted like this. It's such a pity."
"Fortunately it wasn't me, otherwise I would have been heartbroken to save three hundred. How long will it take to save a piece of spiritual stone? ”
"."
Li Qing listened to the discussions, but he didn't feel much gloating. Instead, he felt a little worried for Old Man Zhou.
“If there are only two people, how are we going to deal with the Flying Eagle Thief?”
Originally, in Old Man Zhou’s plan, if all three of them succeeded in breaking through, then the odds of winning were not small. .
But if one failed, I am afraid that the chance of winning suddenly becomes very low.
Li Qing couldn't do anything about this. He was just a monk in the early stages of Qi refining and could only silently bless Mr. Zhou.
"Well, I hope the Liu family will help. After all, it is related to the sect mission of the eldest lady in their family, and they must not want this mission to fail."
Li Qing sighed. After taking a deep breath, he silently cooked a pot of spiritual rice for himself.
That’s it for now, let’s eat first. Tasting the crystal clear, sweet and delicious spiritual rice, Li Qing's appetite greatly increased, and he finished a small pot of spiritual rice in three times.
After feeding the rice bucket with animal feeding pills, Li Qing sat cross-legged and meditated.
The trade fair is over and the days are slowly returning to calm, but this is for other casual cultivators.
Old man Zhou, who successfully broke through to the late stage of Qi refining, couldn't help but cursed in the courtyard after knowing that one of the three people failed to break through.
Even the joy of becoming a late-stage Qi Refining monk was gone, but I felt a great pressure inside.
That was the notorious Flying Eagle Thief. If he and another casual cultivator with mediocre fighting skills were to deal with him, there was a real possibility that he would lose his life.
Old man Zhou, who didn't want to give it away for free, finally couldn't bear it any longer. He took another casual cultivator who had successfully broken through and made a condition to the Liu family, hoping that they could send another Liu family cultivator in the late stage of Qi refining to suppress the formation.
This time, it was rare for the Liu family to act like a human being. After all, it was about the eldest daughter entering the foundation building period.
So, the Liu family sent a late-stage Qi Refining monk named Liu Cong to follow them to defeat the Flying Eagle Bandits.
The task deadline is within half a year. If the task cannot be completed within half a year, for the sake of order and tranquility in the city, Tianhe Sect will send out elders in the foundation building period to take action.
Once it is judged to be a failure, the impact on Liu Hanyue will not be small, and it is likely to delay her entry into the foundation building period.
Even though the disciples of the Tianhe Sect may seem superior outside, the competition within the sect is still very high.
Even though Liu Hanyue has his back to the Liu family, for those disciples who can enter the Tianhe Sect, this little help is nothing. Some of them even have thousands of connections with the ancestors of the sect's Pill Formation. Inextricably linked.
In short, Old Man Zhou finally embarked on the road to defeat the Flying Eagle Bandits.
As time goes by, this matter will eventually be gradually forgotten by casual cultivators, and only a few people will continue to pay attention.
Li Qing, who had a peaceful life, silently prayed to Old Man Zhou, and then immersed himself in the peaceful cultivation years.
More than ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was soon time for the Liujialing miners to go to the mines again.
The news that Old Man Zhou and his party went to Tianhe Zongfang City to crusade against the Flying Eagle Bandits has not yet come back, but Li Qing has already encountered a small bottleneck in the early stage of Qi refining.
"Logically speaking, from the early stage of Qi refining to the middle stage of Qi refining, you can just rely on time to grind through it, but the speed is surprisingly slow."
Li Qing shook his head. , stopped practicing, and began to plan his future.
“I will go to the mine tomorrow. With the experience of handing in 70 spirit stones before, I should not be assigned to the poor mining area again. From now on, my monthly mining income will increase a lot. ”
"The most important thing now is to break through to the middle stage of Qi refining. Only at this level can we have the strength to protect ourselves."
"Then there is the weapon refining technique. We have to find time to hammer Wushuang away." Refining it into a magic weapon, as for the Wandering Dragon Dagger, this is a prototype of a middle-grade magic weapon, and I don’t have the ability to refine it yet.”
Li Qing pondered for a while, and finally took out another piece. Token made of white jade.
This is suspected to be the Immortal Ascension Order of Lingyun Sect, which has always been on Li Qing's mind. Based on his qualifications, this is probably the only way to join the Immortal Sect.
As long as you rely on an Immortal Ascension Order, you can directly enter the sect regardless of your age, and you can also get a Foundation Building Pill!
For any casual cultivator, the temptation of a foundation-building pill is definitely very strong!
"It seems that we have to go south anyway. Even if the hope is slim, we still have to verify whether this token is the Ascension Order!"
Li Qingyan His eyes narrowed slightly, and he took back the white jade token again.
“However, the journey to the Kingdom of Mu is far away. I’m afraid that at worst, you will have to be at the middle stage of Qi Refining to be able to barely protect yourself. We won’t be able to go there in a short time.”
“Before that, , I have to try my best to improve my strength.”
"In addition, in addition to cultivating magic power, I can try to take the path of physical cultivation, so that my master-level physique is not wasted."
Suddenly, Li Qing became very clear. Plan your future path.
The short-term goal is: accumulate spiritual stones! Improve your weapon refining skills!
The mid-term goal is: to break through to the middle stage of Qi refining! Find time to go to Tianhe Sect’s Immortal Cultivator’s Market!
The goal in the later stage is: to increase the means of self-protection as much as possible, whether it is talismans, magic weapons or one's own strength, all must be taken into consideration!
The last step is to go south, to the Kingdom of Mu to find the location of Lingyun Sect and determine whether the token in his hand is the Ascension Order.
After finding his goal, Li Qing once again immersed himself in the few training time, trying his best to polish the bottlenecks that trapped him.
Time flies by, and the day for Li Qing to go to the mines for the seventh time has finally arrived!
