Chapter 731 Golden Bamboo

A lot of the fifth-level monster furs captured in the last war have been used up, and the few that remain have been refined into withering and flourishing talismans by Qingchan.

There are still thirteen spiritual trees in the Spiritual Medicine Garden of the Goddess Peak that need to be treated. A large number of withering and flourishing talismans need to be refined, but unfortunately the high-level materials for making talismans in the Ziyang Sect are not enough.

Before seizing the Wu Kingdom, the Ziyang Sect mainly relied on three kinds of spiritual herbs, namely Qingmang grass, purple spiritual wood, and Tianxing grass, to refine low-level spiritual talismans. The spiritual herbs were beaten into pulp to make talisman paper, but unfortunately the talisman paper made from these three kinds of spiritual herbs could only be used to draw low-level spiritual talismans because of insufficient spiritual power.

Even the talisman paper made from the highest-level Tianfeng grass can only be used to draw fourth-level spiritual talismans.

The withering and flourishing talisman is a fifth-level top-grade spiritual talisman, and it is far from enough to make pulp with three kinds of spiritual herbs.

There is a shortage of high-level talisman materials, and the thirteen spiritual trees need to be treated as soon as possible.

So Zhang Zhixuan can only send monks to quietly go to Qingli Sea to exchange spiritual objects that can make high-level talisman paper.

In recent years, two cultivators of Ziyang Sect have successfully formed a golden elixir, in addition to Li Lingxiu, there is another one, Lin Shaoyou.

This person is also a former cultivator of Huanshui Sect, and is the fourth disciple of Xia Youqing. Their generation caught up with the wind and broke through the golden elixir effortlessly, although they all owed a huge debt to the sect.

It has been more than 30 years since the battle of Chiyan Sect.

The demon elixir obtained that year can be preserved for more than 20 years at most.

With the help of this batch of demon elixir, Qingxuan Sect cultivated four golden elixir cultivators, Kang Duhe, Wang Chengxiang, Li Lingxiu, and Lin Shaoyou, to fill the gap of Gu Xuanzhou, Yuan Yanlai, Jin Laozu, and Hu Peiyu.

Although the new golden elixir cultivation is far inferior to the predecessors, they have more lifespans and have longer time to serve the sect.

In addition, Zhang Sihong and Wei Jinwen have already reached the ninth level of Zifu, and should be able to cultivate to the point of breakthrough within 20 years. Even if these two fail to form a golden elixir, they can accumulate the foundation for the next time to form a golden elixir, and finally catch up with the good time.

Zhang Zhixuan's disciple Tang Yisheng is at the eighth level of the Purple Mansion. He is a cultivator with different spiritual roots and can barely catch up with the trend. His chance of forming a pill is about 40% to 50%.

The sect still has eleven fifth-level demon pills left, but unfortunately there are not enough cultivators who are suitable for taking demon pills.

The remaining eight demon pills will eventually be exchanged, and the priority will naturally be friends with close relationships such as Xuanyang Sect and Chiyan Sect.

Ziyang Sect originally wanted to maintain good relations with the neighbors and make friends with Song Patriarch.

Unfortunately, Song State kept people away from them, which made Ziyang Sect feel disappointed. Such a good thing naturally did not happen to them.

Lin Shaoyou brought six demon pills to exchange for a large number of fifth-level demon beast furs from Xuanyang Sect and Chiyan Sect, and also exchanged ten precious golden bamboos for Qingchan to draw high-level spiritual talismans.

Golden bamboo is also a common fifth-level spiritual wood. This kind of spiritual wood grows very fast. As long as the roots are not damaged, it can be cut down every hundred years and refined into pulp to draw high-level spiritual talismans.

Each time a golden bamboo is cut down, the materials obtained can be used to refine a fifth-level spiritual talisman.

Although the talisman paper made of golden bamboo cannot be used to refine some spiritual talismans with special requirements, it is stable. If the talisman maker is of sufficient quality, he can also draw a fifth-level high-quality spiritual talisman.

It is relatively easy to keep the seeds of golden bamboo. If the bamboo is not cut down for three consecutive times, the golden bamboo will produce a seed. If this seed is taken care of by a high-level spiritual planter, the probability of survival is 80% to 90%.

Unfortunately, the age of this spiritual wood is relatively short and can only survive for about two thousand years.

Even so, if it is not exhausted and cultivated continuously, after two thousand years, a large area of ​​golden bamboo will be harvested in the spiritual medicine garden.

Because golden bamboo is a relatively common spiritual wood, most of the sects with some background will plant some in the spiritual medicine garden, so the price of this spiritual wood is not too expensive. The price of a thousand-year-old golden bamboo is only about 100,000 spiritual stones.

In order to successfully transplant this batch of golden bamboos, the Red Flame Sect's Xuanxin Patriarch also sent a fifth-level spiritual planter, Li Qingcheng, to help.

Ten golden bamboos were planted by Zhang Zhixuan in Lingjing Mountain.

Now, in addition to these ten golden bamboos, seven five-element fruit trees have been transplanted on Lingjing Mountain. In addition, there are also seven or eight fourth-level spiritual trees discovered in the Southern Wilderness in recent years.

However, the most common on the mountain are the spiritual mulberry trees that Zhang Zhixuan and his men personally carried back from Taicheng County.

After more than 250 years of operation, more than 200 of these second-level spiritual trees have survived.

There are more than 60 golden silkworms on the mountain, and the Lingyun yarn produced in a year is enough to refine 200 low-level robes, with an annual income of no less than 20,000 spiritual stones. It is already a relatively large source of income for the Ziyang Sect, and is managed and cared for by the Purple Mansion monks.

After successfully transplanting the golden bamboo, Li Qingcheng hurried to the Shennv Peak Spiritual Medicine Garden to take a look at the Huoyang Jujube Tree.

As a spiritual plant husband, he naturally wanted to study this difficult problem. Seeing the withering and flourishing talisman attached to the root of the Huoyang jujube tree, Li Qingcheng's face was full of envy.

He was of course very jealous of the method of refining this talisman. He wanted to see it with his own eyes.

Unfortunately, the inheritance of spiritual plant husbands in the entire Chiyan Sect was far from enough, and it was actually the same as that of the Ziyang Sect. He was able to be promoted to the fifth-level spiritual plant husband, more by accumulating experience over time, and there was no secret method to exchange this talisman.

Seeing that the spiritual medicine garden was on the right track, Zhang Zhixuan also began to study alchemy.

He had been thinking about the idea of ​​using purple qi to refine pills for a long time, and he had this idea for two hundred years.

In these two hundred years, he constantly experimented and improved the pill formula, failed more than a hundred times, and wasted spiritual medicines worth more than 200,000 spirit stones.

After more than a hundred years of research, his thinking became more and more mature.

Among the thousands of spiritual herbs in the world of immortal cultivation, he gradually found several spiritual herbs that were most suitable for containing innate purple qi, and integrated the innate purple qi into the spiritual pill.

Originally, Zhang Zhixuan planned to delay for a while, and wait for Gu Yan and himself to form an infant before taking out this kind of pill formula.

At that time, the sect had five Yuanyings, and there was also the Purple Sun Sky Fire Talisman, so the results could naturally be kept.

Unfortunately, Zhang Zhixuan was feeling the cruelty of killing among cultivators recently, so he was ready to speed up the progress.

Research this kind of spiritual pill as soon as possible to see the effect.

If it has half the effect of the foundation-building pill, it will greatly save resources. Such a change will be earth-shaking for the world of immortal cultivation.

Zhang Zhixuan made a decision in his heart and prepared to start the furnace immediately.

Except for the purple magnolia, the remaining spiritual herbs in the new pill formula are of ordinary value. The other main medicine, the Yuan Shen, is just a common fourth-level spiritual medicine, worth about 1,500 spiritual stones.

Purple Magnolia is a special spiritual herb. Purple Magnolia that is less than 100 years old is white and is only a second-level spiritual medicine. After 500 years, it will turn green and its grade will be upgraded to the third level. After another 500 years, the spiritual medicine will turn golden when it is more than 1,000 years old and be upgraded to the fourth-level spiritual object.

After 3,000 years, this spiritual medicine will turn red and be upgraded to the fifth level. At this time, the value of purple magnolia will increase greatly. It can be used to refine several high-level spiritual pills, and its value will reach 100,000 spiritual stones per plant, which is far higher than the general fifth-level spiritual medicine.

After growing for more than 10,000 years, purple magnolia will turn purple, and the innate spiritual energy inside will become a natural treasure. Even if the cultivator swallows it alive, it can increase the mana of the Yuanying cultivator by 100 years. It is also helpful for the Yuanying cultivator to break through the bottleneck.

Because of this special effect, the general large sects like to plant some purple magnolia in the spiritual medicine garden. After all, as long as there is a spiritual plant husband to take care of it, this spiritual herb can evolve into a sixth-level spiritual medicine.

However, purple magnolias that can truly grow to the sixth level are still rare in the world of immortal cultivation. Even if the ten major sects of the Great Zhou are added together, there are probably only three or five of them.
