[A magical weapon made of blue crystal, the blade is as thin as a cicada's wing and extremely sharp]

Lu Ping inputted spiritual energy and felt it carefully. This sword-like magic weapon was just an ordinary mid-grade flying sword.

The flying sword is a commonly used magical instrument in the Qi Refining Stage. The Five Elements spells in the Qi Refining Stage often have the disadvantage of a long preparation time, while magical instruments such as the flying sword can be controlled continuously as soon as the object control technique is used. They fly fast and are easy to change moves, making them very suitable for Qi Refining monks to fight.

Some casual cultivators may focus on controlling magic tools, but all cultivators from sects and families must practice the Five Elements. The reason is that with the same spiritual energy, the Five Elements spells are more powerful. And although there are no good defensive spells in the Qi Refining Stage, there are many defensive spells after the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the advantage of the Five Elements spells' powerfulness is reflected at this time.

The foundation of the clan family is these cultivators at the foundation building stage and above. The training is also in this direction. Lu Ping naturally knows some other five elements magic, but he is not proficient in it. He just knows how to cast it and has not practiced casting spells specifically.

Lu Ping looked at the robe again

Name: Bagua Robe Quality: Medium-quality magical instrument

[A standard robe made of molten gold silk, with the Bagua formation integrated into the robe. When activated, it increases the five elements defense. In times of crisis, the Bagua formation defense can be used once.]

Melting gold thread, Bagua formation, standard robe. After reading the introduction, Lu Ping immediately understood that this was not a magical instrument that his great grandfather could not use. Wasn't this the new robe released by Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce? As for why he knew, his third uncle often talked about this new robe released by Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce, but unfortunately he didn't have the spirit stone to buy it.

Then he felt that the pattern on the spiritual robe was barely damaged and looked like a new one. He was probably thinking that this robe was specially bought for him by his great-grandfather.

"call"

He heaved a sigh of relief. He felt a little guilty for receiving this treasure even though he had made no contribution. However, since he had accepted it, there was nothing he could do to help his great grandfather. He could only secretly make up his mind to work hard to expand the family and not weaken the family reputation.

Magical instruments are mainly tools used by cultivators of Qi training and foundation-building. After practicing the Art of Controlling Objects in the middle stage of Qi training, one can control the magic instruments.

Generally, low- and medium-grade magical instruments are used in the Qi training stage, while high- and top-grade magical instruments are used in the foundation-building stage.

Among the magic weapons, those of offensive nature are the cheapest, while those of defensive nature are much more expensive.

The most expensive ones are those with special abilities, such as hiding breath and detecting spiritual energy.

For example, in terms of material consumption, the robe is equivalent to the consumption of several offensive magic weapons. In terms of ability, Lu Ping's robe is probably as valuable as a top-grade offensive magic weapon.

Lu Ping put on his robe and input his spiritual energy. Suddenly, a Bagua-shaped light shield appeared on his body and enveloped him.

"It's actually a style that covers the whole body." It's no exaggeration to say that this kind of magic weapon is a treasure for a Qi training period. Lu Ping only made a rough estimate and found that it is worth thousands of spirit stones, while the selling price of Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce is 1,099 spirit stones.

Without mana in the Qi Refining Stage, one naturally cannot develop spiritual consciousness. Without spiritual consciousness, one's perception is only slightly better than that of ordinary people. If one encounters an ambush, one is bound to die. However, this full-body defense magic weapon will activate itself when encountering a strong alien spiritual energy, and it is a life-saving treasure.

"Grandfather has always been fair, giving me a magical instrument worth so many spirit stones."

"Will the rest of the family really not say anything?"

Then he thought, "My great grandfather is a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. If he gives me two magic tools, I'm afraid no one will say anything!"

Lu Ping put it on happily, feeling the speed at which the spiritual energy in his body was flowing away, and found that he could only maintain it for less than half a quarter of an hour, so he stopped.

After Lu Ping checked the magic weapon, seeing that it was still early, he decided to go to the family's Foreign Affairs Hall to find a mission. After he became familiar with it, he would leave Chongming Island and explore other islands.

When he came to the Foreign Affairs Hall, he met his third uncle Lu Di. This was his real third uncle. It was a pity that his parents in this life did not have the qualifications to practice cultivation. However, he had two relatives who practiced cultivation, so he lived a good life in the mortal world.

He smiled and said to his uncle, "Uncle, you will be on duty at the Foreign Affairs Hall today."

My uncle had detected his spiritual roots when he was six years old, and it took him more than 30 years to reach the seventh level of Qi training. Lu Ping couldn't help but sigh at the difficulty of the path of cultivation. He was lucky to have a system. However, he was not here to greet people, so he told me what his great grandfather said, hiding the part about the spiritual eyes. He just said that he would experience it.

Lu Di's eyes lit up after hearing what Lu Ping said, "Not bad, not bad. Ping'er, you are indeed someone the old patriarch values. You are only sixteen this year, but you have already reached the late stage of Qi training. You are nothing like me." As he spoke, he thought of himself again and couldn't help but sigh at the gap between people.

Seeing that the topic had strayed off topic, he quickly asked, "Does Third Uncle have any foreign affairs missions that are more suitable?"

Seeing Lu Ping mention foreign affairs, Lu Di also became serious and said, "Now there are three tasks you should be able to complete."

"One is that a demon beast appeared in the spiritual fields near Yulin Town and ate the spiritual grain crops, causing a lot of damage to the nearby family farms. I specifically reported it to the family and asked them to kill it. And the harvest from the kill can be kept by yourself."

"The second one is Yuquan Town. A group of monkeys got a chance and some intelligent demon monkeys appeared. In order to ensure the safety of nearby mortals, they need to be eradicated as soon as possible. The requirement is that at least three of them are in the middle stage of Qi training. The harvest from killing them can be kept by themselves."

"The third one is Jade Town. Some of the spiritual plants there lack spiritual energy and are not growing well. You need a person in the late stage of Qi training to perform the Cloud and Rain Spelling Technique. When you harvest them, you will be rewarded with a small amount of spiritual grains."

After listening to his uncle's description of the mission, Lu Ping discovered that the system did not give any prompts.

After hearing the names of these three mission places, Lu Ping knew that they were named by Lu Xuanyu, a foundation-building cultivator in the clan. This cultivator was mainly in charge of the construction of mortal gathering places, so naturally he liked to include the word "玉" in his names.

As for the three tasks, Lu Ping pondered for a while and ruled out the third one first. Linggu is a grain containing a small amount of spiritual energy, and its shape is more like the wheat in his previous life. Cultivators cannot fast until they reach the foundation-building stage and have to eat ordinary food for a living. However, ordinary food contains too much turbid air and is not conducive to cultivation. Linggu is different. It contains trace amounts of spiritual energy, and not only does it not have the trouble of turbid air, it can also slightly improve cultivation?

Even on a huge Chongming Island, there are only a few family spiritual fields.

But since he was a child, he was raised by his family and had no shortage of spiritual grains. This time, he even brought a lot of food made from spiritual grains and put it in his storage bag.

As for the storage bag, it should naturally be placed inside the clothes to avoid being seen by others.

There are two left, so I'd better choose the first one.

The family rules state that when you reach the middle stage of Qi training, you can do external work to earn resources and the family support and benefits will continue to be paid. However, if you have not reached the late stage of Qi training after 30 years of Qi training, your support will be cut off. Although you don't have to worry about it, you will naturally prioritize fighting when contributing to the family.

The second task required three mid-stage Qi training masters, and according to the family's convention, a late-stage Qi training master could also take on this task. However, since he had just been born, he would take on a simple task to practice first.

"Uncle San, I'll choose the first task."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Yes, this is your first time going out on a mission, so let's practice first." Lu Di handed Lu Ping a token. The front of the jade token was engraved with "Lu" and the back was engraved with "Wai".

As soon as the voice fell, a panel popped up on the system

Mission: Kill the monster Content: Go to Yulin Town and kill the monster that destroyed the spiritual field

Rewards: A little spiritual valley, a little spiritual spring, a little monster fur

"When you get there, show the token to the mayor and he will tell you the relevant matters."

"Be careful when you go out," Lu Di warned again.

"I understand, Third Uncle." Lu Ping was naturally much more relaxed in front of his Third Uncle and put the token in his arms.

"There are no foreign cultivators on Chongming Island, so you don't have to worry about me. Besides, I'm also in the late stage of Qi training." Lu Ping emphasized the word "late stage".

When he heard Lu Ping teasing him about his cultivation, he immediately wanted to chase him away. "Go, go, go, finish your external affairs."

"Yes! I'm leaving now. I'll bring you some local specialties next time." Then he left.

After leaving the Foreign Affairs Hall, Lu Ping frowned as he looked at the task interface and thought, "The rewards are only Spiritual Valley, Spiritual Spring Water, and the fur of a first-grade demon beast. These things seem to be related to the content of the task. There is no mention of the quantity, only a small amount."

"How much is a little?"

Lu Ping shook his head. There was too little information. He should wait until he was done to see the actual situation. After leaving Chongming Peak, Lu Ping took out a map from his storage bag. From the map, it looked like Yulin Town was about 120 miles away from Chongming Peak.

Then I'll practice my footwork and hurry along the way, since it's just the Wind Step. This type of spell doesn't consume much energy, and the automatically restored spiritual power can last forever. After making a plan, Lu Ping made a decision and cast the Wind Step spell on himself.

Along the way, he practiced the Wind Step and ran towards the northwest.

[You have practiced Swift Wind Step and gained something. Your proficiency has increased by 1] [You have practiced Swift Wind Step and gained something. Your proficiency has increased by 1] [You have practiced Swift Wind Step and gained something. Your proficiency has increased by 1] [Swift Wind Step Lv5 (110/2000)]

After traveling 120 miles quickly, we finally arrived at Yulin Town.

Casting spells along the way, not only did he improve his spells, but he also saw the scenery along the way, which was different from the experience of being accompanied by elders. Lu Ping was in a good mood.

Yulin Town, outside the town is mostly hills with dense forests, and the townspeople have opened up a lot of farmland along the water.

On Chongming Island, the Lu family's taxation was not heavy, because the entire island did not produce any resources for cultivating immortals before it was occupied by the Lu family, and monsters often appeared on it, making it unsuitable for mortals to live in. In order to attract mortals to open up the land, the taxes offered by the Lu family were naturally quite favorable.

Ordinary fields can be freely bought and sold and only 30% tax is collected in the first ten years, but labor service is required.

The spiritual fields all belong to the Lu family, who collect 70% tax from them, and the remaining 30% will be exchanged for mundane things such as gold and silver for the farmers, but they do not have to do any labor.

It is obvious that even with seven levels of tax, spiritual fields are still more valuable than ordinary fields.
