Chapter 250 Qingqiu Fandao (3600 words, please subscribe)

A few days later, in a quiet room in a courtyard halfway up the Lingxiao Mountain.

Ling Pengyun was sitting cross-legged here, refining the spirit-gathering pill in his stomach and practicing.

Since Ling Yunhong returned to the clan a month ago, he took the initiative to give the cave on the top of the mountain with a second-level lower-grade spirit-gathering array to Ling Yunhong, and returned to his own courtyard halfway up the mountain to practice.

After all, the cave on the top of the mountain originally belonged to Ling Yunhong.

After Ling Pengyun had refined the spirit-gathering pill in his stomach, he opened his eyes, took out two rice seeds from his storage bag, and used the art of controlling objects to hit them in front of him and float in the air.

One of the two rice seeds was the Qiuyun Spirit Rice seed that Ling Pengyun had improved in his early years.

The other seed was an ordinary rice seed.

As soon as the two seeds were taken out, Ling Pengyun used the secret method of spiritual plants to condense two seals containing pure wood spiritual power, and respectively hit the two seeds.

Afterwards, he relied on the spiritual power seal that was injected into the body of the Qiuyun Spiritual Rice seed to extract a trace of Yimu essence from it and sent it into the ordinary rice seed to refine the ordinary spiritual rice seed.

But within half a breath, the ordinary spiritual rice seed could not withstand the refinement of the Yimu essence of the Qiuyun Spiritual Rice. The seed began to swell and tiny cracks appeared on the surface.

Seeing this, Ling Pengyun frowned and quickly summoned the thorny vines of his life spirit plant living in his dantian, allowing the vines to pass a mouthful of gentle Yimu essence into the body of the ordinary rice seed, acting as a mediator between the Yimu essence of the Qiuyun Spiritual Rice and the refinement of the ordinary rice seed.

With the help of the thorny vines, the condition of the ordinary rice seed gradually improved.

This ordinary rice seed also gradually changed under the refinement of the Yimu essence of the Qiuyun Spiritual Rice seed.

After about a hundred breaths, the seed of the ordinary spiritual rice had successfully completed the tempering of the essence of the Yimu of the Qiuyun spiritual rice seed, and changed from its original light yellow to light green, which was not much different from the color of the Qiuyun spiritual rice seed.

Ling Pengyun was delighted when he saw this.

He waved his hand to hold the successfully improved ordinary rice seed in his hand, looked at it carefully, and planned to say.

"I improved the ordinary rice seeds hundreds of times in a month, and finally succeeded once."

"Although this ordinary rice seed was only tempered by the Yimu essence of Qiuyun Spiritual Rice, there is no spiritual energy in it, and it is of no benefit to cultivators."

"But the vitality of this ordinary rice is nearly twice as strong as ordinary ordinary rice due to the effect of the Yimu essence of Qiuyun Spiritual Rice, which is a good thing."

"Even if the yield of this rice has not increased, the strong vitality also means that this ordinary rice can grow in a more severe environment."

"Now we just need to create a method to stably improve this ordinary spiritual rice seed, plant one acre of this rice in a large-scale experiment, and observe the yield of this rice."

"This ordinary rice seed is green, and now it is autumn, just like when Qiuyun Spiritual Rice was created. This ordinary rice is named Qingqiu Ordinary Rice."

Thinking back, he didn't delay too much, and recalled the special feeling when he improved this Qingqiu Ordinary Rice in his mind.

With this feeling and the experience of improving spiritual rice, Ling Pengyun created a method that could stably improve the Qingqiu Ordinary Rice in just half a day.

Once the method was completed, he relied on it to use a large number of Qiuyun spiritual rice seeds and ordinary rice seeds to improve the amount that could be planted in one acre of wasteland.

Then, he opened up an acre of wasteland in his own courtyard and planted the one acre of Qingqiu Ordinary Rice directly in it.

He also watered the one acre of Qingqiu Ordinary Rice with a wave of spiritual rain to nourish the one acre of Qingqiu Ordinary Rice seeds buried deep in the soil to germinate quickly.

After doing this, he stopped his busy work and returned to the quiet room to continue taking the Gathering Spirit Pill to practice.

Now he still has 23 mouthfuls of Youhan Spirit Water and two mouthfuls of 100-year-old Changqing Spirit Water given by Ling Yunhong a month ago.

But Ling Pengyun has been reluctant to use it. He wants to keep it for when he reaches a bottleneck. Usually, he practices with the second-class second-grade inferior Gathering Spirit Pill.

After all, the bottleneck is the real difficulty in breaking through the realm, and the long-term accumulation of spiritual energy is the difficulty in the middle of cultivation.

It is easy to accumulate spiritual energy, but it is extremely difficult to break through the bottleneck.

Moreover, although there are many spiritual waters, the twenty-three mouthfuls of Youhan spiritual water that occupy the majority are not a hundred years old after all, and the total amount of spiritual energy they contain is equivalent to the spiritual energy contained in six or seven mouthfuls of hundred-year-old Changqing spiritual water.

Adding the two mouthfuls of hundred-year-old Changqing spiritual water, it is only equivalent to eight or nine mouthfuls of hundred-year-old Changqing spiritual water.

This amount of hundred-year-old Changqing spiritual water is difficult to support Ling Pengyun to accumulate enough spiritual energy in a short period of time and break through to the third level of foundation building.

...

Another month.

In a quiet room in the backyard of Ling's Alchemy Hall in Xiyang Market.

Ling Pengxing, who has been practicing here since the end of the monster rebellion three months ago, opened his eyes, and a helpless look appeared on his face.

"The pure spiritual power contained in three 100-year-old Evergreen Spirit Water is still too little. I estimate that at least three more sips of Evergreen Spirit Water are needed to reach the peak of the second level of foundation building and touch the bottleneck of the third level of foundation building. If you want to break through the third level of foundation building, you need three or four more 100-year-old Evergreen Spirit Water."

"However, now that the monster rebellion has ended for two or three months, Xiyang Mansion has also ended the opportunity for non-Bailing Sect disciples like me to exchange for Bailing Sect contribution points by handing in monster corpses. It is difficult for me to rely on contribution points to exchange for 100-year-old Evergreen Spirit Water."

Thinking of this, Ling Pengxing suddenly thought that before retreating, he had heard from other fellow practitioners that in a month's time, there might be a hundred-year-old Evergreen Spirit Water in the grand auction held only once every hundred years in Bailingmen. thing.

At the Xiyang auction a month later, there will be a hundred-year-old evergreen spiritual water. Although it is a good thing, Ling Pengxing does not have many spiritual stones on his body.

Moreover, he has also participated in several auctions in other markets, and knows that as long as the price of spiritual objects reaches the auction, the price will be a few points higher than usual.

"Based on the spiritual stones I have now, I'm afraid I can't even afford a bottle of hundred-year-old evergreen spiritual water."

"During the Monster Rebellion, I worked with the Third Grandfather to kill the Foundation-Building Monster Beasts, and the Spirit-Gathering Pills that I refined using the inner elixirs of the Foundation-Building Monster Beasts were all sold to Bailing Gate in exchange for To earn contribution points, buy that second-level low-grade defensive weapon and five hundred-year-old evergreen spiritual water.”

"The family's finances are not in good shape, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for me to spend a sum of spiritual stones to help me purchase a batch of hundred-year-old evergreen spiritual water to reach the third level of foundation building."

"Under such circumstances, if I want to take advantage of the big auction in Xiyangfang City in a month to buy the century-old evergreen spiritual water, I can only go deep into the boundary of Jiao Python Lake to kill the foundation-building monster and earn some money. Get the spirit stone."

"If I miss this opportunity, my chances of obtaining the century-old evergreen spiritual water in the future will be slim."

After all, the hundred-year-old Evergreen Spiritual Water is comparable to the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Water of the same year. It has powerful effects. Even within Bailingmen, it is in great demand and rarely leaks out.

If it weren't for this monster chaos, Bailingmen would not have flowed out the hundred-year-old Evergreen Spiritual Water in order to encourage the monks stationed in Xiyangfang City.

As for the evergreen spiritual water flowing out of this auction, it is also very simple and attracts popularity.

Ling Pengxing was thinking a lot. When he came to his senses, he immediately made up his mind.

He didn't want to return to the clan mountain and slowly rely on the spiritual energy of the clan mountain and the six spirit-gathering pills distributed by the family every year as offerings.

The speed of cultivation in this way is really too slow.

Ling Pengxing stood up and left the quiet room, and found Ling Yunfu, the fourth elder of the Ling family who was in charge of the Lingxiao Alchemy Hall, and told him about his plan to go deep into the boundary of Jiao Python Lake to kill the foundation-building monster and collect the spirit stones.

After Ling Yunfu heard about it, he immediately refused and persuaded carefully.

"Peng Xing, not long after the Monster Beast Rebellion ended, according to many casual cultivators in Xiyangfang City, there are still a large number of foundation-building monster beasts and a huge group of monster beasts left in the areas outside Jiaomang Lake."

"At this time, the risk factor of going deep into the boundary of Jiaolang Lake is extremely high. Maybe when you hunt a foundation-building monster beast, you will attract another foundation-building monster beast, or you may be besieged by a group of monster beasts."

"This situation is extremely dangerous. Why don't you wait for some time and kill the foundation-building monster in the python lake."

When Ling Pengxing heard this, his expression condensed and he said firmly. "Tenth Grandfather, I understand this truth, but I am in urgent need of a large number of spiritual stones to prepare for the Xiyangfang City auction in a month and purchase second-level spiritual objects to lay out my future path."

"I also know the situation in the clan. If the clan lends me the spiritual stone, I can't do it."

"But once I miss the once-in-a-century auction held by Bailingmen, I think it will take at least five years to enter the third floor of the foundation."

"Five years is not much, but now I am only building the second floor of the foundation. It takes so much time to build the second floor of the foundation, not to mention the middle and later stages of foundation building."

"If I follow the instructions and practice in peace, I may not be able to reach foundation-building perfection in my life."

Seeing Ling Pengxing's firm attitude, Ling Yunfu had no choice but to say.

"Okay, I won't say much more about how you went deep into the realm of Jiao Python Lake to kill the foundation-building monster. Do you have any auxiliary elixirs such as the second-level low-grade Spirit Rejuvenation Pill and Rejuvenation Pill in your body?"

Ling Pengxing felt warm in his heart and said. "Before the Monster Rebellion started, the Third Grandfather gave me a lot of these auxiliary elixirs, and I still have a lot of storage elixirs."

"That's good. Put safety first in everything and proceed with caution." Ling Yunfu said with a worried look on his face.

"good."

Ling Pengxing responded, no longer lingering, turned around and left the Ling's Alchemy Hall, followed the main road out of Xiyangfang City, blessed a second-level wind control spell on his body, turned into a breeze and rushed north quickly.

There is a buffer area between Xiyangfang City and the Jiao Python Realm. This buffer area probably stretches for nearly a hundred miles. It is a barren land with no spiritual veins, so there are no monsters living here.

Ling Pengxing, who had the blessing of wind control, crossed a hundred miles in a short while and entered the boundary of Jiao Python Lake.

The boundary of Jiao Python Lake is indeed as Ling Yunfu said. Even on the outermost edge of Jiao Python Lake, there are many monsters.

However, these monsters are all qi-training monsters, and most of them live in groups, and there are very few qi-training monsters that travel alone.

This kind of situation is also normal. If you don't stick together in the cruel world of monsters, you will die tragically at the mouths of other monsters.

It is easy for Ling Pengxing to kill the monsters in the Qi training period.

Even if there are monster beasts living in groups, as long as the number does not exceed a hundred, it is not difficult for him to kill them.

But after killing these qi-training monsters, it takes a lot of time to harvest the spiritual materials from those qi-training monsters. During this time, Ling Pengxing cannot guarantee whether the blood energy released by those monsters will attract other surrounding monsters. Beasts, putting themselves in deep danger.

After all, the corpses of monster beasts are usually very large, and one or two monster beasts cannot fit in an ordinary storage bag.

High-end storage bags are too expensive, and Ling Pengxing cannot afford them.

Considering this situation, Ling Pengxing did not attack these Qi training monsters, but restrained his breath, chose to ignore them, and sneaked into the depths of Jiaomang Lake.

After going nearly a thousand miles deep into the Jiaomang Lake, Ling Pengxing stopped in a small dense forest.

He looked at a mountain several miles away from the dense forest, which was about tens of feet high.

There was a strong spiritual energy in the mountain. Even though he was several miles away, Ling Pengxing could sense the spiritual energy contained in the mountain.

"With such a strong spiritual energy, I'm afraid the spiritual vein in the mountain is not low in grade. It is estimated that it is at least a first-grade upper-grade spiritual vein."

"There must be a monster occupying such a spiritual vein."

Ling Pengxing felt the strong spiritual energy exuded by the mountain and guessed secretly.

Afterwards, he quickly pinched his fingers and added a technique of looking at the energy.

With the help of the Qi-Seeing Technique, his eyesight was enhanced, and he could see clearly the scene within the mountain several miles away.

And because the Qi-Seeing Technique is a magic that can both increase eyesight and detect the breath of others, Ling Pengxing could also see the monsters hiding in the hidden places of Lingshan.
