Chapter 98 Accumulation
early morning.
The empty Transmission Terrace, except for the preaching platform, was filled with disciples coming and going. Many people who came down the mountain to do missions came here to exchange resources, such as the "Spiritual Ginseng Planting Technique" that Fangshan obtained from the mission, which was also sold here.
Chen Luo turned around and found Huang Ying selling talismans in the corner.
After not seeing her for a few days, Huang Ying's strength has improved again, and she has reached the fifth level of Qi training. It can be seen that she has made a lot of money by helping Sister Shen sell talisman paper during this period. However, Fu An, who had always been following her, disappeared. It is unknown whether he died or went down the mountain alone to complete a mission.
"Brother Chen? You're back."
When Huang Ying saw Chen Luo, an expression of surprise appeared on her face.
The two of them entered the sect together and were both from the same hometown of Sheguo. For Huang Ying, Chen Luo was still her cash cow, and with so many relationships, the two of them naturally had a closer relationship than others.
"How did you do on the mission? I heard from Fu An that you participated in the joint mission, but only brothers who are at the fifth level of Qi Refining are eligible."
Huang Ying's voice became softer as she spoke, her eyes widened and her mouth opened into a round shape.
"You, you, the sixth level of Qi Refining?!"
"You've made another breakthrough!!"
Huang Ying felt like she was hit hard.
She was a person with four spiritual roots, so logically there shouldn't be such a big gap between her and Chen Luo. Especially not long ago, she used her accumulated spiritual stones to exchange for a Qi-nourishing Pill, and through the effect of the pill, she broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining. She thought she had already caught up with Chen Luo's realm, but she didn't expect that in just a few days, the other party had broken through again.
"I want to buy an alchemy furnace. Do you have any connections?"
Chen Luo ignored Huang Ying's shock and stated his purpose.
It was very clear what he was going to do now.
Learn alchemy and strive to reach the late stage of Qi Refining.
"Alchemy furnace? Isn't it a talisman pen?"
Huang Ying thought she had heard it wrong.
"It's the furnace used for alchemy. I'm planning to learn alchemy recently. By the way, it would be even better if you could help me get some pharmacology." Chen Luo added.
"You still want to learn alchemy? Aren't you a talisman master?"
Huang Ying wanted to stand up and grab Chen Luo's clothes and tell him not to mess around.
He has such excellent qualifications as a talisman master that he is not using them to learn alchemy.
Can everyone learn to make pills? Putting aside the issue of qualifications, how many pills can the resources consumed buy? Not only will it seriously slow down the speed of cultivation, but it may also be a waste of effort.
"Don't worry about the spiritual stones. I drew some dust removal talismans to use as a cushion. I will make up for the remaining amount when I learn other talismans."
Chen Luo reached into his arms and took out a thick stack of talismans.
These talismans were all drawn by him last night.
After reaching the sixth level of Qi Refining, his speed in drawing talismans increased significantly.
"By the way, did you help me find the copy of the talisman that I asked Fu An to tell you about last time?"
"Oh. Here, in addition to searching talismans, there are also copies of several kinds of talisman papers." Huang Ying came back to her senses quickly when the talisman business was mentioned.
The copy found earlier was given to Chen Luo.
This thing itself was not worth much, and she could get it easily by asking Senior Sister Shen for help.
"How many spirit stones?"
"Give me five." Huang Ying said the cost price.
"good."
Chen Luo took out five spirit stones
When he was on a mission, he immediately used up most of the spirit stones he earned from the casual cultivators.
"Brother, you really need to think carefully before you start making pills. It's a bottomless pit. I've seen too many failed cases."
Seeing Chen Luo preparing to leave, Huang Ying couldn't help but remind him.
"rest assured."
Chen Luo waved his hand, and then hurried back to draw the talisman.
In order to collect enough spirit stones for the alchemy furnace and pharmacology, he decided not to rest tonight.
Early the next morning.
It was just dawn.
Chen Luo came to the Transmission Platform again with more than 30 talismans that he had drawn last night. With the help of the external brain, he drew 32 talismans in one night.
A normal person's mind would have been exhausted long ago if they painted like this. The consumption of spiritual energy is only part of it, but the mind is the most difficult to replenish.
Fortunately, Chen Luo had enough external brains to use. A few brains that could draw talismans could take turns on duty and the problem would be solved.
"You learned the search symbol?!"
Huang Ying felt numb when she saw the new talisman that Chen Luo took out.
She now realized that this Senior Brother Chen was not a normal person, and she should never think of comparing herself with him.
"We also have the other two kinds of talismans. Please estimate their prices."
Chen Luo divided the talisman paper into smaller pieces. The left side had relatively fewer pieces, only five pieces, which were "calming talismans". The right side had seven pieces of "burning fire talismans". The rest were all "searching talismans". They were all low-level talismans that could be drawn at the Qi Refining Realm.
"Even the Fire Charm and the Calming Charm are drawn."
The oriole can no longer speak.
Although the Tranquility Talisman is a low-level talisman, it is extremely difficult to draw. Even her good friend Senior Sister Shen only learned it not long ago. It took her three full months!
"Here is the alchemy furnace and pharmacology overview you requested."
Huang Ying took out the things she had asked someone to exchange for yesterday from her storage bag. She felt that Senior Brother Chen might really have the talent to make pills.
"No need to make up?"
Chen Luo was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this was enough.
"If it weren't for the Tranquility Talisman, it might be even worse. If you count the Tranquility Talisman, I'll need seven more spirit stones from you."
Huang Ying introduced the prices of the three kinds of talismans. If they wanted to have a long-term cooperation, there could be no deception. Otherwise, when Chen Luo figured out the real price of the talismans, this favor cooperation would not be able to continue.
"Don't give it to me yet. It's just in time for you to help me get a new pill recipe and some basic spiritual materials." Chen Luo held down Huang Ying's hand as she was about to take the spiritual stone.
"Dan recipe?"
Huang Ying frowned.
The recipe for the pill was not an ordinary material, and it was not something she could get. Even in Yaowang Peak, the recipe for the pill was a core secret and was not allowed to be passed on at will.
"Are you having difficulties? If you really can't, you can help me prepare some basic medicinal materials." Chen Luo also reacted.
The recipe for the elixir is definitely not that easy to get.
Its value is different from the alchemy furnace and pharmacology overview in his hand, and it involves the core inheritance of the alchemist.
"good."
Huang Ying breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she didn't look for the recipe for the elixir, everything else would be easy to solve.
We must curry favor with a talisman genius like Senior Brother Chen. Whether we can accumulate the resources for cultivation in the late stage of Qi Refining depends entirely on him.
In the next few days, apart from drawing talismans, Chen Luo spent the rest of his time studying pharmacology.
With the help of an external brain, he spent three days memorizing the characteristics of more than 3,000 kinds of spiritual materials recorded in the book. He then spent another two days going to the market at the foot of the mountain to identify the actual objects to ensure that there would be no mistakes.
His own spiritual practice also gradually became perfect in this process.
The sixth level of Qi Refining has reached its peak.
After reaching this point, Chen Luo felt the dilemma of qualifications.
The cultivation speed of medium spiritual roots will slow down from the middle stage of Qi Refining. If it is a superior spiritual root, this feeling can only be experienced in the late stage of Qi Refining. Noticing this change, Chen Luo's need for alchemy became more urgent.
His aptitude was synthesized from an external brain. Apart from the unstable mummy brain, the strongest one was the brain of the two foundation-building cultivators. These two people were able to reach the foundation-building stage when they were alive, so their aptitude must be good. It was a pity that they died too long ago, and their brains were severely damaged, so the increase they brought to Chen Luo was also very limited.
According to Chen Luo's estimation, if he wanted to upgrade to dual spiritual roots, he would need at least ten incomplete brains of foundation-building cultivators. If it was a highly complete one, that would be another matter, maybe one would be enough.
However, with Chen Luo’s current realm, there is no need to think about building a highly complete foundation brain.
The risks and benefits are not proportional.
"Brother, these are the spiritual materials you requested. There are a total of twenty basic spiritual materials."
Huang Ying handed the spiritual material she had exchanged to Chen Luo.
During these five days, Chen Luo has come to him to buy spiritual materials three times, and the quantity has increased each time.
"Okay, continue to help me collect it."
Chen Luo took the spiritual materials and handed the talisman he had drawn yesterday to Huang Ying.
"Brother, wait a moment."
After taking the talisman, Huang Ying stopped Chen Luo who was about to leave.
"I have collected a lot of talismans these days, so it may take some time before I can collect more."
In just five days, she collected nearly half a year's worth of produce.
So many talismans suddenly flooded into the market, causing the price of talismans to drop a lot. The talisman market is just like medicinal materials, there is a corresponding consumer group, once the number exceeds this group, the price will drop rapidly.
Chen Luo was stunned for a moment and nodded in response.
"I see."
He didn't expect that Wudao Peak's consumption capacity was so poor that it was filled up in five days.
Since Huang Ying couldn't accept it anymore, he didn't plan to paint anymore. It was a good opportunity to take this time to study the art of alchemy.
He didn't get the recipe, so the process of refining the elixir was much more difficult than for others. He could only try it little by little based on the intuition of his external brain. This was a stupid way, but it was the most cost-effective and practical way for Chen Luo.
Two months later.
The market town at the foot of Wudao Peak.
"Or three basic spiritual materials, all twenty?"
The pharmacy owner looked at Chen Luo who came in and yawned out of boredom.
These shops are all shops of the sect, located at the foot of the mountain. Disciples from the ten main peaks all trade here, and it can be regarded as a market for circulation within the sect.
Chen Luo had asked Huang Ying to buy it for him before, but Huang Ying had made a breakthrough in her cultivation in the past half month and had gone into seclusion. With no one to help him, he had to go down the mountain to buy it himself.
After buying from the pharmacy more often, I became familiar with the owner.
"Boss, give me ten servings of Zhengyang Grass."
Before Chen Luo could say anything, a figure walked in from outside.
Chen Luo looked back, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Junior Brother Du Jian?"
The person who came was actually Du Jian, who had escaped from the Yue Kingdom Tomb with him. He was the disciple of the Heartfire Taoist. At the beginning, the four brothers and his junior sister Xie Shuang joined the Shenhu Immortal Sect with him. However, after entering the sect, they made different choices and went to different main peaks.
After not seeing each other for more than half a year, Du Jian was much more mature than before. He was wearing a green robe and a wooden crown, which was the most common among the disciples of Yaowang Peak. His cultivation had reached the fourth level of Qi training, which was not considered slow among those with medium spiritual roots. Chen Luo, who had started to strive for the late stage of Qi training in less than a year, was an outlier.
"Brother Chen?"
Du Jian was also stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to react.
It has been less than a year since they escaped from the Yue Tomb. But in the past six months, they have experienced more than in their entire lives, so much so that when they suddenly see familiar faces, they don't recognize them.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Chen Luo also greeted with a smile.
He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance by chance. Judging from Du Jian's appearance, he should have joined Yaowang Peak. He just didn't know how his senior brother Du De was doing.
He remembered that Senior Brother Dude's aptitude did not seem to be very good, and he had low-grade spiritual roots.
"It's really Brother Chen, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Du Jian was also very happy.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign place is one of the greatest joys in life.
When everything becomes clear!
"Come on, come on. I have to have a drink with you today no matter what." As he spoke, he pulled Chen Luo without saying anything and was about to go out for a drink.
"Don't you want the Zhengyang grass anymore?"
The pharmacy owner came out to get the medicine and saw Du Jian pulling Chen Luo out.
"Yes, come back for it later."
Du Jian laughed, put the spirit stone on the table, and then pulled Chen Luo out the door.
The two of them didn't go looking for any particularly expensive restaurant, but just found a small shop next to the pharmacy.
"Where is Senior Brother Dude? Why didn't he come down with us? To be honest, I don't even know which main peak you guys have joined." After the wine and food were served, Chen Luo asked.
He has rarely left the mountain since he entered Wudao Peak. It is a rare opportunity to meet him today, so naturally he wants to ask him some questions.
"The eldest senior brother entered the Divine Fire Peak, junior brothers Du Zhi and the other two entered the Beast Taming Peak, junior sister Xie Shuang went to the Heavenly Lu Peak, and I am at the Medicine King Peak." Du Jian briefly introduced the main peaks that the few people had entered.
"In the first three months after we entered the sect, we were all working hard to practice. The cultivation methods of the Immortal Sect are very different from those of our hometown. It took me a lot of effort to adapt to it."
When talking about the differences in martial arts, Du Jian still feels a little sad.
The four brothers were raised by the Heartfire Taoist since they were young, and many of their concepts have been formed. The process of change was much more painful than Chen Luo's, but fortunately, the understanding of several people was not bad. After experiencing the initial pain, they all succeeded in the transformation. Judging from Du Jian's appearance, his skills have stabilized and his cultivation has reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. His progress is not slow among this group of disciples.
