Lin Xiang had already inquired at the market before, and found out that ten kilograms of one-year-old silver arrow grass could be sold for one low-grade spirit stone!
This magical herb can grow to the height of a person, like silver arrows piercing the sky, hence its name.
A pound of ten-year-old silver arrow grass is worth a medium-grade spirit stone, while a pound of hundred-year-old silver arrow grass is worth a high-grade spirit stone. As for the top-grade talisman paper needed to refine talismans, it needs to be made from silver arrow grass that is more than five hundred years old, and its value is even more extraordinary at that time.
The so-called talisman refers to a complete magic weapon that is sacrificed and sealed in talisman paper. It will be completely destroyed after being used once or several times.
Magical weapons can only be used to their full potential by cultivators in the Golden Core Stage, but talismans can be used even by cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.
Only low-level cultivators who are extremely wealthy have the confidence to use it. It is considered a last resort.
Talismans are very popular in the world of cultivation and are also important consumables. Therefore, the demand for silver arrow grass is extremely high and the price is relatively stable.
If the villagers plant silver arrow grass, the annual income will definitely be more than 10 low-grade spirit stones.
If converted into ordinary gold and silver, it would be a sky-high price!
Worldly gold and silver are worthless in the world of cultivation. Lin Xiang actually exchanged two fasting pills for 500 taels of silver and 100 taels of gold in the market.
In addition to the listed elixir and spell rewards, the tasks issued to players also include experience points and gold and silver rewards, but they are relatively insignificant.
Of course, cultivators also need a large amount of gold to refine gold essence to make flying swords and other magical weapons. Usually, one ton of gold can produce one or two ounces of gold essence.
Dongshan Village is no longer an ordinary mountain village. Now that it is surrounded by abundant spiritual energy and the disadvantage of not being able to leave the village at night has been solved, it can boldly transform.
After Lin Xiang returned to Dongshan Village and arranged these tasks, he appeared in a dream to the village chief Wang Minghai and the clan elder Wang Xiuyuan, asking them to go to the Dongshan Village Land Temple the next morning to discuss things.
Since it concerns the prosperity of the village, he must seek the opinions of the villagers. He does not want to be a dictator.
Wang Minghai had already fallen asleep, but Wang Xiuyuan, who was getting less sleep due to his age, had not fallen asleep until after midnight.
The village chief was exhausted today by these new Yellow Turban strongmen.
There were always people asking if he needed help. Some were so enthusiastic that they tried to help him chop wood and cook, and they were even trying to find out if he knew how to practice Taoism.
Players all thought that the village chief of the novice village was not an ordinary person, and they wanted to raise his favorability to the highest level, which instead caused burden and pressure.
Fortunately, after the appearance of these Yellow Turban warriors, the village's early rice harvest was completed quickly and much safer.
At this time, the number of online players in "Ascension" is less than one-fifth.
Some people are forced to log off after their sixteen-hour gaming time is up, some log off to do their own things, and some are too lazy to wait for the long resurrection time.
It takes 1 hour to revive after the first death, 2 hours to revive after the second death, and 3 hours to revive after the third death, with an additional hour each time.
This will make players relatively cautious and not so reckless, and in the later stages the resurrection time may take twenty-four hours.
Zhenren Tai Er and Yu Xiaoqi were still fighting hard, killing many monsters. In the middle, they even went back to the Huanyu Market to exchange the spirit stones obtained from killing monsters for different attack methods.
Both of them have learned the Pure Yang Technique and have a certain ability to restrain evil spirits.
You shouldn't worry too much about players' affairs; the right thing to do is to let them develop.
It is better to care about your own spiritual field.
Lin Xiang turned around and was next to the spiritual field west of Dongshan Village. There were weeds everywhere here, and only two acres of land had been reclaimed and turned into spiritual fields.
One acre was covered with ice and snow, and the other acre was his.
As for the land, Lin Xiang regards almost the entire area as his own territory, and does not give players the opportunity to enclose land to build houses or farmland.
The soil here is fertile and it is a sunken area surrounded by mountains on three sides. The only problem is that there is no natural water source.
The flow of Longxi River is not large and it is several miles away, so this area was abandoned by the ancestors of Dongshan Village very early.
Although Lingtian’s name contains the word “tian” (field), it actually means land.
The rainwater needed by the spiritual valleys comes from the Small Cloud and Rain Technique, rather than natural rainwater or river water for irrigation, unless the latter carries enough spiritual energy and flows out from the spiritual spring.
But even the powerful sects do not have the luxury to use spiritual spring water to irrigate the spiritual valley. At most, they only irrigate some precious spiritual medicines and spiritual roots.
After all, spiritual spring water is of great value and plays an important role in alchemy and refining.
Spiritual grains are only the food needed by cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages. Once a complete fast is achieved, there is no need to eat spiritual grains.
For example, cultivators in the Jindan and Yuanying stages only need to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, occasionally eat clouds and drink dew, and occasionally taste human delicacies or delicious monster and spirit beast meat, etc.
Low-value spiritual valley is not worthy of high-quality spiritual spring.
Lin Xiang plans to develop this area and turn it into an endless spiritual field so that he can grow more things.
Spiritual fruits, low-level spiritual medicines and silver arrow grass are all good plans.
Instead of leaving the land to grow weeds, it is better to use it to grow cash crops.
His gaze returned to Lingtian.
Lin Xiang discovered that players Jiuge and Bingxuepiaopiao actually started to cooperate and inserted the spiritual rice seedlings into the soil, but their movements were a little unfamiliar.
Fortunately, these two players were not pretentious, so they became more efficient later on.
An acre of spiritual field was soon planted with seedlings, which were neatly arranged and looked pleasing to the eye.
Bingxue Piaopiao wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "It seems that farming is not easy. I hope these seedlings can grow quickly."
"There should be a way to speed it up. Otherwise, in the world of cultivation, it often takes decades or even hundreds of years, and we can't play for that long." Jiuge pointed to the spiritual field next to him and asked curiously, "Can I ask how you obtained this spiritual field?"
The Chinese people all have the farming gene in their bodies. Everyone wants to own a piece of land and do whatever they want on it.
"I've obtained it from the Sacrifice Spirit in exchange for my labor and future harvest. I wonder if there are any similar quests out there now," Bingxue Piaopiao said modestly. "When I just accepted the quest, I discovered that the reward for the Reclaiming Spiritual Field quest has become Spiritual Valley Rice Seeds."
Jiuge was a little disappointed, he wanted to own a piece of land of his own.
"I should buy some land. I have to work harder on my mission tomorrow. My goal is to buy a small courtyard first!"
His game time was about to end. Fortunately, he didn't play the game in the afternoon because of work, otherwise he would have missed the task reward.
[Ding, congratulations to the player for completing the limited-time task of planting spiritual rice. Reward: Marrow Cleansing Pill x1, Experience Points x150, 5 taels of silver.]
[Congratulations to the player for triggering the chain quest - Planting Spiritual Rice. Requirement: Visit the Spiritual Farm and cast the Small Rain Cloud Technique three times daily. Reward: 1 Small Rain Cloud Technique. Each use of the Small Rain Cloud Technique grants 50 experience points. Once the Spiritual Rice matures and is harvested, rewards include 1 jin of Spiritual Grain and 2 low-grade Spiritual Stones.]
Jiuge had not expected that planting spiritual rice was actually a serial task, starting from transplanting to maturity!
Not only can you get a skill for free, but you can also get 150 experience points every day.
It doesn't take a long time to perform the Little Rain Cloud Technique. You can do it when you have time. Just think of it as practicing a skill and gaining proficiency in it.
Jiuge was forced to quit the game before he could even open his mouth after accepting the task. His game character was left sitting cross-legged on the spot, like a clay sculpture.
Bingxuepiaopiao couldn't help but laugh when she saw this scene. After all, she had worked with him to plant rice seedlings. So she dragged Jiuge's body to the thatched hut next to her spiritual field and placed it there so that it would not be exposed to the open air.
When she was helping Lin Xiang to cultivate the spiritual field, she built a shelter in the corner of her own spiritual field. It was very small, like a sunshade shed in the summer.
"The store doesn't sell spiritual grain seeds or seedlings. I wonder if I can buy seedlings from the sacrificial spirits."
She actually wanted to move the spiritual rice seedlings used for the mission here to the side, but it was too obvious.
There are only two acres of spiritual fields in the entire Dongshan Village. If seedlings appear on one's own spiritual field, they will definitely be discovered.
One mu of land is about 666 square meters, so when planting spiritual rice, the spacing between plants is wider than that of ordinary rice. While more than 10,000 rice plants are needed, only about 2,000 spiritual rice plants are needed, allowing for wider spacing.
She knew that Jiuge was too happy too soon, thinking that he only needed to perform the Small Cloud and Rain Technique once, but in fact it would take many times to cover the entire spiritual field.
Of all the 105 beta testers, she was probably the most proficient at performing the Small Cloud and Rain Technique, having already reached level 2 when the Spiritual Field was formed!
The level 1 Xiaoyunyu Jue can only cover an area of 10 square meters, while the level 2 can cover an area of 20 square meters.
Dark clouds gathered on such a small piece of land and dripped down, while the spiritual valleys in other places were still crying out for food.
The rainwater condensed by the Small Cloud and Rain Technique evaporates very quickly, but it does not reach the level of a heavy rain and flows to the other rice seedlings.
According to the calculation based on the casting area, it would take dozens of castings of the Small Cloud and Rain Technique to cast it on one acre of land.
However, each player's spiritual power is limited. After it is used up, they can only meditate and practice to recover before using it again.
Bingxuepiaopiao is already level 7, but the total spiritual power is only 170 points. It takes 10 points of spiritual power to perform the Small Cloud and Rain Technique once.
Each time your spiritual power is fully restored, you can only perform the Small Cloud and Rain Technique 17 times!
"Ji Ling is definitely a profiteer, but it's not bad to use this method to hone your skills and spells."
Kung Fu is the root, magic is the branches, and only by practicing both can the tree flourish.
Now her skills are one level higher than Jiuge's, and her level is also two levels higher, so her efficiency will be much higher.
"What's the use of this marrow cleansing pill?" Bingxuepiaopiao had no intention of selling the mission reward, but was preparing to take it herself and try to maintain her leading position.
In the game introduction, its effect is described as slightly improving physical qualities, and there is no numerical measurement for this slight improvement.
Anyway, it wasn't poison, so Bingxuepiaopiao swallowed it without thinking too much.
As the pill entered his stomach, a surge of heat emerged, and it felt as if all his limbs and bones became much lighter.
[The player takes the Marrow Cleansing Pill, which grants health +10, spiritual power +10, and the efficacy decreases.]
"So that's how it is..."
Bingxuepiaopiao suddenly realized that her level up was just like the effect of taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill for the first time, and the effect was quite good.
However, the efficacy of the medicine is decreasing, and maybe in the end it won’t even increase the spiritual power by 1 point.
This kind of attribute-enhancing elixir will become ineffective if taken too much. It is different from elixirs that restore spiritual power, promote spiritual power circulation, or treat injuries and restore health.
…
When Lin Xiang saw the two players working hard under the moonlight, he felt no guilt at all, as if he was being exploited.
He did not disturb the players, but walked straight towards the Longxi River in the distance.
The river does not have much water, it is more like a stream, and only when the water level rises during heavy rain in the summer does it look like a river.
Normally, villagers draw water here for irrigation, washing clothes, etc. The well in the village is mainly used for drinking. People are not rich enough to use well water for washing clothes.
The Longxi River flows out from the outskirts of the Shiwanda Mountains, winds around hills and then merges into other rivers.
"Since Dongshan Village has a land god, this Longxi River should also have a river god or a dragon king, right?"
This thought lingered in Lin Xiang's mind.
It just so happened that he was planning to meet the mud monster that appeared from nowhere. After dealing with the mud monster, he would search along the Longxi River to see if he could find any trace of the river god.
It was late at night, and even the most boisterous players had logged off.
The wilderness has also become a paradise for evil spirits and demons.
The Five Elements Wu Earth Formation covers a large area, protecting Dongshan Village, Huanyu Market and the surrounding areas for several miles. It is built entirely according to the standards of the mountain protection formations of small and medium-sized sects.
The gray fog between the sky and the earth was so thick that the moonlight could not penetrate it, and the visibility of ordinary people was less than 5 meters.
Even for cultivators, the detection range of their spiritual sense is greatly reduced.
These gray fogs can greatly weaken the exploration of spiritual consciousness, and only the areas protected by formations and sacrificial spirits are safe.
Even the wild beasts on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains could only hide in their dens with their tails between their legs, and did not dare to come out to look for food at night.
The monsters were equally cautious. They already possessed a certain level of strength, but if targeted by a more powerful evil spirit, they would be reduced to blood food.
Without humans, they would kill wild beasts and monsters and slaughter each other.
Evil spirits can absorb the blood and essence of monsters, and monsters can also swallow evil spirits to strengthen their monster pills and monster power.
The powerful humans or monsters who practice Shinto would attack at night. Every time they killed an evil spirit, they would gain merit and illusory human luck.
At this time, within Lin Xiang's perception range, one-tenth of the land was protected by the Five Elements Wu Earth Array, and the other nine-tenths were exposed to the gray fog.
With no one around, he had no time to hide his strength.
Use the Golden Spirit Sword Pill to perform the Dahe Sword Technique that you have learned, and turn all the evil spirits that block the way into experience points and kill them.
In this area, almost all the evil spirits are below level 10, which gives him very little experience value.
Anyway, these evil spirits cannot be killed completely, so I will not let any of them go, adhering to the mentality that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.
He did not use the innate skill of the land god - to guide souls to the afterlife.
Because this skill requires incense value.
Lin Xiang’s incense value is very precious and needs to be used to switch back and forth between Dongshan Village and Qingwei Sword Sect.
To deal with these minions, it is best not to use them if possible.
[Kill a lv.1 ghost and gain 1 experience point! ]
[Kill the lv.3 Green-faced Ghost and gain 3 experience points! ]
[Kill a lv.8 evil spirit and gain 8 experience points! ]
[Kill the lv.10 Ghost King and gain 50 experience points! ]
The ghosts were instantly killed, without even a struggle. The only one that presented some difficulty was the Level 10 Ghost King. Its body had solidified to the point where ordinary weapons couldn't penetrate it, but the Golden Spirit Sword Pill could kill even a demon tiger, let alone a demon tiger.
When he killed these monsters, he could only obtain the raw materials and experience points from the monsters, and also gain some energy of the five virtues.
He was really unhappy that players could get equipment, materials, and even spirit stone fragments by killing monsters.
However, when I think about the players working hard to kill monsters and finally spending money in my store, I feel much better.
"I'll have to open a grocery store in the market to buy and sell some things."
You can harvest some raw materials from the players, and you can also help the players purchase some of the things they need, making a few hundred million yuan in the difference.
Lin Xiang discovered that the Coiled Dragon Whip in his Dantian was simply the nemesis of evil spirits.
It is surrounded by the energy of the five virtues. Every time it whips, the evil spirits will be shattered to pieces, and then it will absorb their scattered soul fragments to strengthen itself.
Soul fragments usually cannot be captured and can only be allowed to disappear between heaven and earth.
If you're lucky, these fragments will form new monsters in the gray fog, which is why they are impossible to kill.
Either send it to the underworld or absorb it, otherwise it will be reborn in another way in the world according to the law of conservation of energy.
When Lin Xiang arrived at the Longxi River, he was actually a little reluctant to leave.
The feeling of killing monsters instantly is so cool!
"Let's kill the monsters tomorrow night. Let's get down to business tonight."
Evil spirits usually only appear when gray fog descends, but the mud monster can attack players during the day, proving that it is either a monster-like creature that is not afraid of sunlight, or it is extremely powerful and can withstand sunlight.
If none of these are true, then it might be a baby!
At night, the Longxi River still flows gently, but no small fish or shrimps can be seen on the surface of the water. They all know that they have to hide deep under the water at night to save their lives.
It was not known whether the mud monster had special life signs or had escaped from its own priestly area, but Lin Han searched carefully but could not find any trace of it.
So he simply entered the Longxi River in a spiritual state and began to search from the upper reaches to the middle and lower reaches, as if he was looking for the traces of the river god.
The shallowest part of this stream may be less than half a meter, and the deepest part is only three meters.
Lin Xiang, who was in a spiritual state, felt no resistance and gradually went down.
There are pebbles and other waste residues under the riverbed, and there are turbulent whirlpools at the bends. There are even human and animal corpses under the whirlpools!
Go straight ahead until you leave the priesthood area.
"Could it be that the player is lying? He is indeed dead, but it's not necessarily that he was killed by the mud monster."
This thought emerged in Lin Xiang's mind.
Who can be sure that what the players say is true?
Players' mouths are deceiving!
A huge clam shell quietly emerged from the bottom of the water in front, spitting out a magic pill in the gap of gray fog, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon.
"The clam shell spits out pearls, but they are not pearls, but demon pills."
Lin Xiang didn't plan to kill the river clam. It had cultivated to level 18 with great difficulty, and it had done nothing harmful. It was just absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy and the essence of the sun and the moon every day.
Years from now, perhaps the river clam will have a story of a love story between a human and a demon. Just as there is a snail girl, there may also be a river clam girl and a river clam boy.
Just as he was about to move forward, a ball of black mud suddenly emerged from the riverbed, then wrapped around the clam demon pill, fell into the water in the distance with a bang, and merged with the riverbed again.
Everything happened in a flash!
Not to mention Lin Xiang, even the river clam that had been practicing in this way didn't react.
The demon pill that was crucial to its life was actually stolen by an unknown enemy!
The door-sized clams went into a frenzy, their shells opening and closing frantically, turning the entire riverbed into a turbid mess.
But even so, the robber was never found.
When Lin Xiang saw the mud monster rushing out of the water, he immediately realized that this was the monster he was looking for!
It may have been eyeing the river clam's demon pill for a long time, but it has never been able to take it for itself. Now it finally takes action when the other party is practicing and not paying attention.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
Lin Xiang completely ignored the madness of the clams. The muddy river water did not hinder his movements at all, as if he was in two different spaces.
He had already locked onto the mud monster with his spiritual sense.
Although he is an NPC template, he still has some player abilities, such as being able to see information about these different units.
For example, after checking the level of the river clam, this guy's name appeared in the Longxi River in a yellow neutral way.
The mud monster appears in a hostile red form, and no matter where it hides, the red mark is particularly conspicuous.
In Lin Xiang's consciousness, the mud monster shrank into a small ball and actually came to the shore.
It was useless for the river clam to frantically search for it in the Longxi River. The other party had already disguised itself as stones and mud on the shore and lay motionless, just waiting for the river clam to leave.
[Mud Monster: lv.17, a strange creature.]
Lin Xiang was too lazy to wait any longer. His soul with golden light of merit appeared from the void, and then he suddenly used the Panlong Whip to knock down the curled-up mud monster!
The Panlong Whip itself is an incomplete magic weapon, but with the addition of the energy of the Five Virtues, its power is extraordinary.
But this pool of mud monster was completely unharmed. It just changed from a lump to a pool, and avoided the fatal blow by using softness to overcome hardness!
It was like a punch on cotton.
The mud monster was like a slug. Lin Xiang's attack seemed to have angered it, so its body flowed to the other side of the Panlong Whip, then suddenly expanded and pounced towards Lin Xiang, trying to wrap his entire body in mud.
Apparently, the fishing player Tractorski died from this kind of attack, suffocated by being surrounded by mud.
This trick is effective on players, but has no effect on Lin Xiang.
Not to mention that the soul flew backwards to avoid the attack, even if it was hit, there was no way to cover the soul unless the mud could target the soul.
The spirits of ordinary cultivators can pass through walls and trees, but they are not substantial entities.
After seeing its attack, Lin Xiang used his Pure Yang spiritual power to activate the Great River Sword Technique, preventing it from landing on the ground and directly blocking it in the air.
If physical attacks can't hurt it, use magic attacks.
Since it was mud, Lin Xiang used the Fire Sword Technique, and a huge flame suddenly rose from the long sword transformed from the Golden Spirit Sword Pill.
The blazing flames immediately burned the mud monster, causing it to make a strange "hissing" sound.
The silt burns into dry soil, let’s see how you can change your shape!
The mud monster, which is always successful, was also unlucky to meet Lin Xiang.
