Chapter 301 Suggestions, Yunling Sanren

A wood demon sits in front of a small magical tree, like a devout ascetic sitting in meditation and enlightenment.

The wood demon's brows furrowed from time to time, and then relaxed from time to time.

After more than thirty years of growth, the size of the small magical tree has not changed much, but the precious light on the tree has become more and more prosperous.

From time to time, some phantom visions appear in the aura.

And if Lin Shiming guessed correctly, these were exactly what the wood demon captured.

From the performance of the wood demon, the golden-winged mantis and the red-haired demon monkey, he also discovered that there seemed to be a more magical method of visualization in the world of immortality.

The root of his deduction is a similar secret method.

It also comes from visualizing the origin of enlightenment from the Zifu Wood Demon Immortal Tree in Nine Leaf City.

The wood demon still hasn't exited the state.

Lin Shiming didn't bother him either, after all, the current wood demon was also his spiritual beast.

On the other hand, Hongmao and Jinyi had a lot of fun with him, and after leaving some third-level beast-nurturing pills and spirit beast meat, they exited the cave world.

It was rare to have time to come to Qingyunfang City, and Lin Shiming also planned to visit the Lin family's shop.

The Lin family has twelve shops in Qingyunfang City, but they only run three of them themselves. The remaining seven belong to Zixuan Sanren and two belong to Xie An.

Xie An and Zixuan Sanren's shops are naturally rented out, and are usually managed by the Lin family.

Lin Shiming also mainly visited Lin's stores.

The Lin family has three shops, one of which is Lin's Alchemy Pavilion, which naturally deals in spiritual elixirs, magic tools and spiritual talismans. The second is Lin's Restaurant, which deals in Qingling Liquor, Monkey Wine and various spiritual meals. The signature red fish spiritual meal and the blood crocodile spiritual meal are the spiritual meals favored by various casual cultivators.

It is the restaurant with the richest spiritual cuisine in Yunzhou.

The third shop is used for purchasing spiritual beast materials and heavenly materials and earthly treasures. It usually sends out some required tasks, and some casual cultivators will go looking for them.

For example, in this shop, there was news about third-level monkeys and spirit insects, and there was news about monster luring grass.

Lin Shiming watched the monks coming and going, including those who had just fledged to immortality. He followed the elders with a childish look on his face. Under the instructions of the elders, he pretended to be mature and watched the magic in the Alchemy Pavilion. Magic weapon.

In the Alchemy Pavilion, the Lin family members also discovered Lin Shiming, and among them his thirtieth uncle Lin Houyuan came over.

"Shiming, you're here."

"Uncle Thirty, you don't have to be like this. If you have nothing to do, come and take a look!"

"Look, I've wanted to invite you for a long time!" Lin Houyuan said with a smile.

The next reduction of spiritual stones at the Linjiaxing County Fangshi auction, as well as the idea of ​​spiritual meals, have made the Lin family's business much better than that of ordinary families.

Adhering to the principle of small profits but quick turnover, it is also the Lin family's signature, and the Lingyu Lingshan meal makes the Lin family stand out here.

At this time, if Lin Shiming could continue to give pointers, he felt that it would definitely be better.

"Uncle Thirty is commendable. Uncle Thirty is better at this than you guys!" Lin Shiming said.

Then he continued to look at it, and Lin Houyuan also introduced it.

The Lin Family's Alchemy Pavilion is also the same as the previous auction. If you purchase a magic weapon or elixir that exceeds a thousand spiritual stones, you will be given a ten-spirit reduction for the next time.

And after purchasing tens of thousands of spirit stones in total, you can enjoy a 20% discount at the Lin family's restaurant and alchemy pavilion in the future.

And when you buy something, you will be given Bigu Pill as a gift.

Bigu Pill is a first-level elixir, used by monks for fasting.

The price is not high, but it is also good news for casual cultivators who wish they could break a spiritual stone into two flowers.

After the introduction, the two of them arrived at the backyard of the store.

Sitting down at the stone table, Lin Houyuan also poured some spiritual tea, but Lin Houyuan's spiritual tea was from those sub-trees, and was only of the second level.

But even so, Lin Houyuan was very precious. It was packed in a jade box, and there was obviously another ordinary tea on the table.

After pouring the tea, Lin Houyuan also looked sad.

"Shi Ming, now the second-level middle-grade magical weapons, second-order middle-grade spiritual pills, and second-order spiritual talismans in the Alchemy Pavilion are in short supply. They are often shipped to the family and then consumed in a short time!"

"Uncle Thirty, this is simple. We can recruit a group of alchemists and weapon refiners in the family alchemy pavilion to practice in Qingyunfang City, and let the family refine some simple magic weapons and elixirs here. And the family can also accept commissions to customize alchemy, weapons, and talismans!"

"There is no charge, only four refining raw materials are charged, and then the customized quantity is limited. At the same time, the elixir-making rate and weapon-making rate of the family monks are assessed, and then the elixir and spiritual materials of casual cultivators can be used to cultivate the elixir and weapon refining of the family monks. level, it can also relieve some of the pressure!”

"In addition, if we can provide a prescription that the Lin family does not have, we can even help them refine it for free!"

Lin Shiming spoke, and Lin Houyuan's eyes lit up.

This kind of customization has never been done before. It is very bold to let those second-level mid-level alchemy masters and second-level mid-level weapon refiners come to refine it. They may not even make much money, but as long as they can guarantee the completion of the elixir and the weapon, it will exceed Thirty percent can definitely take the Lin family's Alchemy Pavilion business to the next level.

In the Lin Family Alchemy Pavilion and the Weapon Refining Pavilion, in order to ensure the elixir-formation rate of the family monks, those monks with low elixir-formation rates did not have much material to practice with.

Now, I can also provide materials and enrich the resumes of these monks. It is better to come to Qingyunfang City more than to stay in Fangmushan all the time.

This is like killing two birds with one stone.

And especially when it comes to weapon refining, many monks have different needs for magical weapons because of their different skills and fighting habits.

However, most shops accept custom-made magic weapons, at least starting with high-grade magic weapons.

For those weapon refiners, there is no need to customize the medium-grade magic weapon and the low-grade magic weapon.

And because the weapon refiner himself has to practice, there are many restrictions.

Now that the Lin family is booming and the Four Arts of Cultivation are also providing strong support, it is absolutely possible to do this.

What makes Lin Houyuan difficult is that the Lin family does not have enough shops for the family alchemist and weapon refiner to make alchemy and weapon.

But the next moment, when he saw the corners of Lin Shiming's mouth rising, Lin Houyuan's worry disappeared again.

They came here just for the branch store.

There is no problem if the Lin family's strength is divided into 20%. There are more than 100 shops in Qingyunfang City, and there are 20 shops in 20%. There is no problem in freeing up a few shops.

After discussing the details with Lin Houyuan again, Lin Shiming also left and came to Lin's Restaurant.

On the second floor of Lin's Restaurant, Lin Yuzheng and Lin Shiyi are also here.

When Lin Yuzheng saw Lin Shiming coming in, they both stood up seriously.

Lin Shiyi even said:

"Shi Ming, I went to investigate. Sure enough, someone from the Zhang family went to Hongshi Ridge to explore three months ago. If I guessed correctly, there is either a medium-grade spiritual stone mine or a precious third-grade spiritual iron mine! "

Lin Shiyi said affirmatively.

The Lin family owns the gold iron stone veins in Shiling Cave and has a certain understanding of the mineral veins. They also breed a lot of spirit rats such as gold-eating rats. It is not too difficult to arrange one or two spirit rats to investigate!

And this is more in line with the interests of the Zhang family.

Using the Yunzhou monks to help him conquer the Red Lion Ridge not only showed the Qingxuan Sect the courage of their Zhang family, but also captured the spiritual veins, a number of resources, and finally the mineral veins!

It can be said that killing three birds with one stone, the benefits are unimaginable!

And, as can be imagined, the morale of the Zhang family monks has also improved a lot.

You must know that the Zhang family was forced to come to Yunzhou from Jinzhou, which had better spiritual energy and rich materials. Those monks may all be a little frustrated.

Lin Shiyi and Lin Yuzheng had obviously discussed it for a while before, and they admired the Zhang family's plan very much.

On the grounds of allocating stores, the foundation-building combat power and high-end combat power of all the families were handed over to participate.

This not only prevents the major families from sending out the old, weak, sick and disabled, but also prevents the major families from bringing in too many monks, which would inevitably lead to leaks of information.

Hongshi Ridge is not far from Fang City. The Zhang family refuses to reveal the news, so it would be a better choice to invite the main family members to board the ship together.

But Lin Shiming was extremely calm.

Naturally, the actions of a Zifu family member of the Zhang family would not be so simple, but he was still curious. Just an ordinary third-level mineral vein was not worth the action of the Zhang family's only Zifu monk!

You know, this Zifu cultivator is not only a weapon refiner, but his end is approaching.

Moreover, if it is so simple and easy for them to find out, then the meaning of this layout is a simple conspiracy.

And the risk of something happening to the Zifu monks is not small.

But he couldn't figure it out, so Lin Shiming stopped thinking about it. Anyway, he would know everything when he arrived at Hongshi Ridge.

As for strength, with his current strength, he is confident that he can escape even if he cannot be defeated.

He also has treasures such as the Peach Blossom River Scenery and the Five Color Silkworm Coffin, so he naturally has some confidence.

After another discussion with Lin Yuzheng and Lin Shiyi, Lin Shiming also observed Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu again.

Both were in retreat, which made Lin Shiming extremely satisfied.

Among them, Lin Zekong's secret method of cultivating Tianmu spirit has been successful, and the amount of spiritual energy stored has been greatly increased.

His strength has also improved a lot, and he is still getting used to it. Even if he is up against ordinary eighth-level Qi-training monks, he will not be at a disadvantage.

Lin Shiming didn't bother either.

Time passed quickly, and seven days later, dozens of arenas had been opened by the Zhang family outside Qingyunfang City.

These arenas vary in size and have different numbers on their logos.

At a glance, the largest number is thirty, followed by a number of twenty, a number of fifteen, and the rest are three numbers of ten, and twenty one-number rings.

All the numbers added up are exactly the number of shops in Qingyunfang City, one hundred and fifteen shops.

However, this layout makes Lin Shiming somewhat meaningful.

This was clearly to let him and the ancestor of the Chen family decide the outcome.

Otherwise the numbers twenty and fifteen would not appear.

The next rule is not what Lin Shiming expected. The number of numbers represents the number of stores.

The rules are also very simple, just keep fighting.

It's just that the number one arena can only be used by young monks under the age of thirty.

There are no restrictions on the other arenas.

However, these arenas do not have foundation building skills, and they only serve food when they go up there!

Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu are also working hard. They have long wanted to perform in the ring, especially after receiving guidance and help from Lin Shiming, they are full of confidence.

Of course, the two of them were not completely carried away. They kept looking at the young monks around them who were like them.

Studying the opponent and planning famous countermeasures.

This scene also made Lin Shiming couldn't help but nod.

I am also more satisfied with the two of them.

"Second brother, you can also try in the ten-number arena!" Lin Shiming looked at Lin Shiyi after watching Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu, and said.

Next to him, Lin Shiyi nodded with a strong fighting spirit. He had been breaking through the Foundation Establishment for several years and was just practicing his skills.

The biggest growth in physical training is fighting, and even hand-to-hand combat.

Why Lin Shiming was able to improve so quickly was because the red-haired demon monkey transformed into a giant ape and fought hand to hand again and again.

As the rising sun rose to a high enough height, many casual cultivators gathered around, making the scene even more noisy.

This fight does not restrict the viewing of casual cultivators, and for those casual cultivators who are temporarily reorganizing, watching others fight is also a help for improvement.

Even because of this, Qingyunfang City became more popular.

There is an endless stream of monks coming and going.

Of course, in addition to watching the fighting in the ring, we also plan to rent a shop in advance after the families decide their sovereignty.

There are also businessmen among casual cultivators, as well as weapon refiners and alchemists. Having a shop will definitely make their path to immortality smoother.

This actually surprised Lin Shiming. Maybe Dingxing County and City could do the same in the future, giving up some shops to some casual cultivators.

Through some fighting methods, some casual cultivators can also be recruited, and the reputation of the county and city can also be improved.

On the other hand, in Lingnan County and City, the Lin family didn't want him to grow bigger.

While Lin Shiming was thinking, Zhang Haoling over there also flew into the air after getting Master Qian's signal.

"Okay, the defense has officially begun. One person can only defend once and attack once. Each person has two opportunities to attack..."

With Zhang Haoling's announcement, the entire city-city division competition has begun.

As the biggest witness, Chief Qian also found a seat and sat down leisurely.

Watch the monks go to the ring to defend and attack!

Lin Shiyi took the lead in entering a cross ring, while Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu also entered a ring each.

Became a member of the defending army.

Lin Shiming was skeptical about Lin Shiyi entering the ring so early in the morning.

It is undoubtedly irrational for a person to practice physical training and defend the competition, but it is understandable when thinking about Lin Shiyi's current state of mind.

Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu were both wood cultivators and formation cultivators.

Naturally, the earlier the morning, the better, and the more advantage you will have in defending the ring.

Sure enough, when the challenge began, Lin Shiyi faced a monk from Yunzhou who used earth-based techniques from a foundation-building family.

This monk is somewhat similar to Lin Houwei. He controls the sand and the dust. His magical weapon also has three earth flags!

Blocking Lin Shiyi's approach for a while, Lin Shiyi had to take out his magic weapon, but the other party took out his magic weapon to deal with it. For a while, he was restrained everywhere.

Moreover, the other party also raised a family spirit beast, and its strength was equally extraordinary.

In the end, he was at a disadvantage and was the first to be defeated.

However, Lin Shiyi was not angry either. He came with a learning attitude, and meeting someone who restrained him the most made him even more excited.

And he was ready to challenge again after recovering his true energy.

Lin Shiming gave Lin Shiyi an encouraging look, then looked at Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu.

Lin Zekong had already controlled many wooden vines at this time, and his opponent was also a monk at the seventh level of Qi training.

Due to the spiritual catalyst injected in advance, he had the upper hand, and with the help of the blood crocodile and wooden puppets, he quickly defeated his opponent.

When defeated, the healing elixir and aura will be restored, and then the Wood Vine Technique will be used again.

Lin Shiming also nodded with great satisfaction. Lin Zekong's performance was not good, and he believed that he could win a store. You must know that his snake vine flower was also in Lin Zekong's hands, but the latter catalyzed the speed of the snake vine flower. Much slower than when he was practicing Qi.

But as long as you prepare in advance and are not careless, there will be no problems.

Next to him, Lin Zelu was even more relaxed. He took out a set of formation flag magic weapons and used various formations. In a short time, he defeated the enemy much faster than Lin Zekong.

The outcome was naturally determined quickly.

In addition to Lin Zelu and Lin Zekong, Lin Shiyi also went up to challenge again. This time he succeeded, but he was quickly attacked and defeated again.

Lin Shiming was still thinking about comforting him, but found that Lin Shiyi was extremely excited, with a naive smile under his tired eyes.

For him, what matters is not victory or defeat, but whether he can learn and refine it in the battle.

Lin Shiming smiled when he saw this, and asked Lin Shiyi to look at Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu before walking towards a ring.

It's the arena of twenty.

The time was almost up and he was about to attack.

The ring guard at age 20 is Chen Xuankong, the ancestor of the Chen family, while the ring guard at age 30 is Zhang Haogang.

It's not Zhang Haoling, but Lin Shiming naturally won't fight Zhang Haogang. If he wins, it will just be a fight with Zhang Haoling.

Chen Xuankong watched Lin Shiming walking up, his eyes a little unkind, and he directly transmitted the message.

"You junior, why are you so clueless? Before entering Fangshi, you offended the Zhang family and offended my Chen family. When Lin Xianzhi is here, you have to call me brother!"

Chen Xuankong was obviously unhappy in his voice transmission.

At the foundation-building meeting, Lin Shiming was the first person to agree to Zhang Haoling. Now Lin Shiming, a mid-stage foundation-building monk, came to compete with him, a late-stage foundation-building monk, for the ring of twenty.

"You retreat now. For the sake of Lin Xianzhi, I won't hurt you. It's still too late for you to compete for the fifteenth ring!"

"Fellow Daoist Chen is offended!" Lin Shiming's expression did not change and he continued to speak.

The shop in front of him is equally important to the Lin family, so he will naturally not give up.

However, since Chen Xuankong knew his seventh uncle, he tried to persuade him, even though it was with harsh words.

But he doesn't mind letting loose at critical moments.

What's more, for him, in the fighting competition, he should be as low-key as possible.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, please come!" Lin Shiming waved his hand.

As expected, Chen Xuankong looked a little ugly. He turned his hand and took out a seal. The seal instantly turned into the size of a small mountain and threw it towards Lin Shiming.

The seal was obviously a top-quality magic weapon, and it seemed to be engraved with wind-attribute spiritual patterns. It was surprisingly fast. In the blink of an eye, it reached the sky above Lin Shiming, turned into a thick earth-yellow spiritual mountain, and crashed down, making a terrifying sound.

Lin Shiming's Divine Crushing Disk immediately raised up to block the seal.

At the same time, countless poisonous dragon vines were flying wildly on the ring, like poisonous dragons, releasing poisonous mist and heading towards Chen Xuankong.

Chen Xuankong did not show a surprised look. Instead, as if he had expected it, three spiritual swords appeared around him, spreading an airtight sword curtain. In addition, there was also a beast flag that was also fluttering crazily in the wind. .

A large amount of dark wind suddenly swept out, blowing away the poisonous mist of the poisonous dragon vine, making it impossible for the poisonous dragon vine to reorganize quickly.

The beast flag even manifested several third-order late-stage beast souls, attacking Lin Shiming.

Not only that, the spirit sword that chopped up the poisonous dragon vine was immediately shot out, turning into three rainbows and flying towards Lin Shiming from behind.

The corners of Chen Xuankong's mouth couldn't help but curl up, and he attacked a mid-stage foundation-building monk from three directions. No matter how talented he was or how good his swordsmanship was, in his opinion, he would still have to suffer defeat!

But when he looked again, Lin Shiming had already summoned the Purple Wood Xuantian Sword Formation.

A total of thirty-six high-grade formation swords were gathered into four small sword formations.

While blocking all three attacks from Chen Xuankong.

Suddenly, countless purple vines emerged from the ground.

The Purple Golden Vine was so fast that Chen Xuankong had to step back dozens of feet and put his sword into the air.

But Lin Shiming's four sword formations at this moment merged into one sword.

And the sword intent spread all over the sky, and countless sword grass appeared in the air.

Together they moved towards Chen Xuankong to suppress them.

Chen Xuankong took out a wooden shield magical weapon and blocked it in front. However, under the sword formation, he was still slashed and flew out, losing his aura.

He released all the spirit swords and beast flags at once to resist the sword array.

Only when all methods are used can he be able to stop it.

Before Chen Xuankong could be surprised, he saw the purple vine attack again, and he held his sword horizontally.

However, the Purple Golden Vine was not a vine, but a spear as hard as iron. The defense of the spirit sword was broken for a moment, and then it was tied up by the poisonous dragon vine condensed by the poisonous mist that came over.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I accept the concession!" Lin Shiming said.

Even though Chen Xuankong looked extremely ugly, at the moment, he had indeed lost, to a monk who was in the middle stage of foundation building.

Moreover, he also understood that Lin Shiming still had reservations about him despite his harsh words, otherwise he might not even be able to compete for the fifteen-digit ring!

Following Chen Xuankong's defeat, Lin Shiming also took out the middle-grade spiritual stone and the elixir to restore his true energy and swallowed it.

His face was also slightly pale, as if the fight just now consumed a lot of real energy.

"Well, Fellow Daoist Lin is so powerful, I am ashamed of myself!" Chen Xuankong looked a little ugly. Thinking that he had persuaded Lin Shiming to admit defeat before, he became even more embarrassed to stay and went to the fifteenth arena.

The defense ended without any surprise. The Zhang family got a total of forty-three shops, a total of thirty arenas, ten arenas, and two one arenas.

The Lin family acquired twenty-two shops.

The Chen family has eighteen shops and is even better at young monks practicing Qi.

As the store arena competition ended, the atmosphere in Qingyunfang City did not end, but began to feel a little dull.

And at this moment, an old man wearing a Taoist robe was seen walking out of the sky in Qingyunfang City.

The old man seemed to have no real energy or aura on his body.

However, as soon as the old man appeared, Zhang Haoling bowed and saluted.

Also present at the ceremony were all members of the Zhang family.

And everyone instantly understood the identity of the visitor.

Yunling Sanren!
