Chapter 66
Just now he had a kind face towards Yu Bao, but once he returned to the bamboo house, Lu Xiaotian's expression suddenly darkened.
The reason why he chose to live in this barren mountain where the aura is thin is because he considered the several spiritual objects on his body and the need for frequent alchemy, and he didn't want to fall into the eyes of caring people. After all, whether it is feeding the ice silkworms with century-old red ice mulberry leaves, or the herbs needed for frequent alchemy, or refining a large number of beast spirit pills to enhance the strength of the leopard.
Once Yu Bao stayed around for a long time, he would definitely notice something was wrong.
Unexpectedly, Qian Dali was so shameless and unscrupulous. They even made it clear that Yu Bao was sent here to force him to submit. If he was just an ordinary monk, it would be fine.
But once something is wrong, Qian Dali, a foundation cultivator, can easily punish him.
"We can only hope that Yu Bao stays nearby for a while and then leaves, otherwise we have to find another way." Lu Xiaotian thought so.
In the following days, like an ordinary monk, Lu Xiaotian opened up several spiritual fields and sprinkled a lot of spiritual grass seeds. Then he tried to refine a few batches of "Condensing Qi Pill", but because Yu Bao was peeping from the side, he couldn't concentrate, and the batches of pills were all useless. I just refined a few furnaces of beast spirit pills and gave them to the leopards.
In addition to alchemy, Lu Xiaotian also took a few chores in the Hall of Miscellaneous Workers to earn spirit stones. In the middle, Yu Bao was also consulted a lot of questions.
"Could it be Master Qian's delusion, Lu Xiaotian is just an ordinary monk, and he didn't show any abnormality. Master Qian is really a weirdo." Yu Bao looked at Lu Xiaotian flying to other handymen on a spirit crane as usual place, muttering to himself.
But at this time, Lu Xiaotian, who was sitting on Linghe's back, sank to the bottom of his heart. He underestimated the patience of the cultivator who established the foundation. Maybe Yu Bao was just a useless chess piece by Qian Dali. After all, the cultivator who established the foundation had not used many things before. He worked hard. For a whole month and a half, he behaved like an ordinary monk, only refining a few rounds of pills, and then relying on the previous Qi Gathering Pill to practice. It's just that the sixth level of Qi Refining consumes a lot of Qi Gathering Pills, and the remaining ones are not enough to maintain the needs of subsequent cultivation.
Now there is a method of refining qi condensing pills, but Yu Bao has been peeping from the side, but he can't make alchemy continuously like before, otherwise, if he refines dozens of furnaces of elixirs in a month, even a fool can see him has a problem. After all, the spirit grass needed by others for alchemy cannot be ripened in the enchantment with spirit stones like him. It is already a very high frequency to be able to refine more than a dozen batches of pills in a year.
"It seems that we have to think of other ways." Lu Xiaotian thought to himself, otherwise, Qian Dali has a lifespan of about 300 years, and he can afford to delay it for a few years. If he delays his cultivation because of these years, he will miss the best. The foundation building time, I am afraid that there will be no hope of foundation building forever in the future.
"Hey, Junior Brother Lu, you're here to pick up the chores again."
As soon as Linghe stopped at the entrance of the Hall of Handymen, Luo Kang, who was in charge of assigning handymen to other disciples at the entrance of the hall, saw Lu Xiaotian and greeted Lu Xiaotian with a smile. Lu Xiaotian has accepted many tasks from him in the past one and a half months, and Lu Xiaotian with a calm temperament has completed them well.
Running errands in the Hall of Miscellaneous Workers is also risky. For example, last month, a disciple in the Qi refining period managed the spiritual herb garden for an uncle who established the foundation. Uncle Lei Ting was furious, not only severely punished that unlucky Qi refining disciple, but even ran to the Miscellaneous Hall and scolded the Miscellaneous Hall. But it scared the brothers in the handyman hall enough.
The tasks arranged out were well done, and their lives were naturally more comfortable. Lu Xiaotian's record is good, so Luo Kang is more familiar with Lu Xiaotian than other monks.
"Senior Brother Luo, do you have a long time and a stable location, so you don't have to run back and forth every day? Even if you live and eat at the place where you work as a handyman, it's okay to practice. I run back and forth every day like this, just renting the spirit stone of the spirit crane. It's a small expense."
Lu Xiaotian got down from the Linghe and asked, his purpose was naturally not to work somewhere, but to get rid of Yu Bao's eyeliner who was looking upset.
"How long, how long?" Luo Kang asked.
"It's fine for a year or so," Lu Xiaotian said.
"Okay, let me look for it." Luo Kang took out a book score, which recorded the chores of Lingxiao Palace.
"Well, Master Qin planted a piece of Yunlin fruit in the Linglian Peak area. The fruit will mature after ten years of growth. However, this fruit is very popular with all kinds of monsters and birds. Due to the prohibition of protecting the mountain, it consumes too many spirit stones. Therefore, Master Qin Uncle needs manpower, not to mention one year, ten years is also something to do. Just be responsible for driving away the demon birds. There are also some spirit birds raised in Lingxiao Palace. But the matter is quite complicated, at least three people are needed The disciples rotated and guarded the orchard non-stop. The last one who was punished was because of his negligence, he was ate a few Yunlin fruits by the monster, and Master Qin was punished and driven down the mountain. Now there is a vacancy for one person. , do you want to go? The spirit stones are still very rich. There are fifty spirit stones per month."
Luo Kang looked at Lu Xiaotian and said, Lu Xiaotian's temperament is calm and resolute, it is quite suitable for such a job.
"The remuneration is really generous, but things are too cumbersome, and you always have to stare at the orchard, which affects your cultivation too much." Lu Xiaotian shook his head and refused directly.
"Well, a Master Hu in Lingyin Peak Region wants to build a Chiyu magic weapon. Chiyu needs to be repeatedly tempered from a large amount of Yu ore. Hard work pays more, but as long as you can bear hardships, you can spend forty or fifty yuan a month. There are also spirit stones. It's just quite dry."
Similar to a blacksmith in the secular world, who also delayed his cultivation, Lu Xiaotian shook his head directly.
"In the end, only the mining work is left. It is also more rewarding for more work, but those who are a bit oily usually go deep into the crypt, and often do not see the sun for ten days or even a whole month. Few monks can endure this loneliness." Luo Luo Kang shrugged and said, "You are really difficult to serve today."
"Are there any mines that can be mined?" Lu Xiaotian asked with a thought when he heard that he was going to go deep into the crypt.
"Our Lingxiao Palace has established a faction for tens of thousands of years. Naturally, there are various kinds of mineral deposits under our control. There are black iron ore, black copper ore for refining weapons, red jade ore, bright tungsten ore, and there are also various spiritual stone mines. A little further away is the Baixiaoshui Lingshi Mine, the Gukoudaojin Lingshi Mine, and the Heishhuizhai Mine further away."
Luo Kang warned, "Junior Brother Lu, don't say I didn't remind you, mining also pays more for more work, and the spirit stones exposed on the ground have already been mined. Only when you go deep into the mine can you get spirit stones. The mine has been mined for at least a thousand years, and there are countless holes in it. It is bad luck, but not enough ore can be mined. It is a waste of time. If you have the idea of hiding spirit stones, give up as soon as possible and enter the mine The cave can only carry the storage bag distributed by the supervisor. There is no way to hide things. Usually, some brothers who have entered the mine complained to the sky, and gave up automatically after not working for a while. And there may be life-threatening inside."
