Chapter 68: A small profit at the end of the year (recommended today, please read it!!!)

Time flies, and before I knew it, several months had passed.

At the beginning of December, Ling Rufan, the family elder who was responsible for delivering offerings, also came to Qingshi Mountain as usual.

As soon as he jumped off the fairy crane, he noticed that Ling Pengyun, who had been waiting here for a long time, had an aura that was not weaker than that of him, a veteran Qi training seventh-level cultivator, but a little empty.

"Pengyun, have you broken through to the seventh level of Qi training?" Ling Rufan said in surprise.

"Nine great-grandfather." Ling Pengyun greeted first, and never thought of hiding. Only by showing his own advantages can he get the attention of the family, and then replied. "A few days ago, relying on the spiritual power feedback of my life spirit plant when it entered the middle stage of Qi training, I broke through by chance!"

The information contained in this sentence is not small. Ling Rufan also heard another good news from it, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

"So, is your spiritual plant also...?"

Although Ling Rufan is not a spiritual plant master, as a member of the spiritual plant family, he naturally knows the significance of the spiritual plant master's life spirit plant improvement.

"Long before, I had comprehended the second level of the spiritual plant secret method. After the breakthrough of my life spirit plant, I am now a first-level middle-grade spiritual plant master!" Ling Pengyun said.

"Pengyun, you have given me a double surprise today! At the age of 20, you have the seventh level of Qi training and practiced two hundred arts. The spiritual plant has reached the first-level middle-grade and the weapon refining has reached the first-level low-grade. There are not many people in the clan who have achieved such achievements!" Ling Rufan said happily.

"Nine great-grandfather, you are too kind!" Ling Pengyun said modestly.

This humble attitude also made Ling Rufan very satisfied, but in order to avoid Ling Pengyun's arrogance, he did not say more about it, but changed the subject.

"Since your cultivation has broken through to the late stage of Qi training, the offerings should also be increased to the amount of the late stage of Qi training. Pengyun, how many green bamboo swords and round iron shields have you refined in the past six months?"

As early as a year ago, the family elder Ling Ruda told Ling Rufan that Ling Pengyun was a family weapon refiner and that he was a first-level lower-grade weapon refiner.

Since then, Ling Rufan, the family elder, has also carried weapon refinement materials for Ling Pengyun and brought back the magic weapons refined by Ling Pengyun to the family during the time he sent offerings to Ling Pengyun.

In recent years, the family still did not publicize the fact that Ling Pengyun became a weapon refiner, and the family leaders were relatively tight-lipped. Not many people in the family knew that Ling Pengyun was a weapon refiner.

"Relying on the 100 pieces of Qingzhu Sword refining materials you gave me half a year ago, a total of 53 Qingzhu Swords were refined. As for the round iron shield, due to the low success rate of refining, only 14 pieces were refined!" Ling Pengyun summoned a large number of magic tools from the storage bag on his waist and replied with a smile.

Ling Rufan saw the large number of magic tools appearing in front of him, and a very bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Not bad, not bad. Once these magic tools are transported to the family's Lingxiao Treasure Pavilion in Huaishui Market, they will be enough to make a lot of spiritual stones. Pengyun, you have worked hard." Ling Rufan first praised Ling Pengyun, and then calculated in his mouth. "For each of the fifty-three green bamboo swords, you earn five spirit stones, which is two hundred and sixty-five spirit stones. The seven round iron shields are your private property. However, due to the large quantity, the family charges forty-five spirit stones, which makes a total of six hundred and thirty spirit stones, and a total of eight hundred and ninety-five spirit stones!"

"Because you have reached the late stage of Qi training due to your cultivation, and because you have doubled your tribute for guarding the outside world, the tribute for the next six months will become eighty-four spirit stones, one hundred and twenty kilograms of first-grade top-grade white jade spirit rice, and six yellow bud pills and twelve Qi training pills that the family has given you as extra subsidies."

"In addition, this year's dividend of four hundred spirit stones from the Xuanshui mine, the total amount of spirit stones you have earned is one thousand three hundred and seventy-nine spirit stones..."

After calculating all this, Ling Rufan took out a storage bag from his arms and summoned a large number of spirit stones, a large number of refining materials, and spiritual objects from it.

Seeing the appearance of these spirit stones, Ling Pengyun was also happy.

A few days ago, because of the breakthrough in cultivation, he had used up all the spirit stones in his storage bag.

Now with these thousands of spirit stones, his storage bag is full again.

After that, Ling Rufan and Ling Pengyun chatted for a while, and then went to the six acres of spiritual fields on the top of the mountain to get busy, using the "spiritual sickle" to cut the two acres of mature yellow jade spiritual rice on the top of the Qingshi Mountain, carefully pulling out the Qi training grass and sword star grass in the field, etc.

All these farm work were done, and the sun was about to set.

"Pengyun, the harvest of the yellow jade spiritual rice you planted is getting more and more. Two acres of yellow jade spiritual rice have yielded 1,211 kilograms of spiritual rice and 1,208 kilograms of spiritual rice respectively. You can get 10%, which is 240 kilograms. Do you plan to keep these spiritual rice for yourself or sell them to the family?" Ling Rufan looked at the two piles of yellow jade spiritual rice on the ground that had shed their husks and looked like yellow jade and smiled. Then he used the measurement technique to separate a small pile of spiritual rice and asked Ling Pengyun.

"As usual, sell it to the family!" Ling Pengyun said.

"240 kilograms of yellow jade spiritual rice, one spiritual stone for five kilograms, a total of 48 spiritual stones!" Ling Rufan smiled and put the two piles and one small pile of spiritual rice on the ground into a special storage bag, and summoned 48 spiritual stones and handed them to Ling Pengyun.

After chatting with Ling Pengyun for a few words, Ling Pengyun handed a letter to Ling Rufan and asked him to take it to the great elder Ling Ruda.

As usual, Ling Rufan collected the spiritual plants harvested this year from Qingshi Mountain before it got dark, then rode on a fairy crane and flew quickly to the spiritual mountain dozens of miles away where his great-grandson "Ling Pengcheng" was stationed.

After watching Ling Rufan leave, Ling Pengyun touched the bulging storage bag on his waist, and his thoughts flew to the sky.

"With these more than 1,400 spiritual stones, when the time comes, whether it is the family or the Huaishui meeting that shows the spiritual objects that can restore the injuries of spiritual plants, I will have enough spiritual stones to buy them."

"But for refining equipment, I still need to invest some spiritual stones myself to buy some refining materials and increase the success rate of refining equipment. Only in this way can I earn more spiritual stones to buy resources, feed back my own cultivation, and collect the 4,000 spiritual stones needed to buy the second-class foundation-building spiritual objects with the family!"

Among the thousands of spiritual stones obtained this time, the largest income was the spiritual stones obtained by relying on the round iron shield. After getting the sweetness, Ling Pengyun naturally wanted to eat the big cake of refining equipment.

Now his success rate in refining the round iron shield is only 30%, which can barely break even, but it is still too early to rely on refining the round iron shield to really make a profit.

Although refining equipment can earn more spiritual stones, it is based on the high success rate of refining equipment. For example, after the success rate of refining the Green Bamboo Sword is increased to 50%, you can earn spiritual stones without worry. Every time you successfully refine a sword, you can earn a lot of spiritual stones.

After coming to his senses, Ling Pengyun calmed down, took out the spiritual hoe from the storage bag, walked into the six acres of spiritual field, used the spiritual hoe to plow the spiritual field, dug small pits in the spiritual field, and buried the three kinds of spiritual plant seeds that Ling Rufan had just given in the small pits.

Because when using the spiritual hoe to plow the spiritual soil, you need to be careful to avoid the vibration force of the spiritual hoe being too strong to shake the spiritual energy in the spiritual soil, thereby causing the quality of the spiritual soil to deteriorate.

This is the beginning, and it took a lot of time to plant the seeds.

It took until nightfall to finish.
