"Senior brothers, I just heard that we can go down the mountain to participate in the battle with Moon Shadow Palace. Has the sect issued any missions yet?"
In order to get information, Lin Xiang had to take the initiative to ask.
The two men discussing this turned to look at the unfamiliar face beside them and explained, "That's correct, but you must have reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage, the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the Golden Core Stage. If you want to take this opportunity to leave the mountain, I'm afraid you'll have to practice harder."
The attitudes among fellow disciples are relatively friendly and not so tense.
Lin Xiang raised his hand and responded, "Thank you, Senior Brother. I just wanted to get down the mountain so badly that I didn't expect to miss such a good opportunity."
He was not at all shy about lying, even though he had just returned to the Qingwei Sword Sect from the mortal world.
"Homesickness is natural," one of them sighed. "But don't worry. This war won't last long. Even if we join forces with the Yaowang Sect and the Fahua Temple, it'll be difficult to defeat the Yueying Palace in a short period of time. We'll have to take our time before they become desperate."
"If you're not too far behind, you might be able to catch up."
"I see, thank you two brothers for clearing up my confusion." Lin Xiang sighed in his heart. Another super sect had fallen. Da Gan's luck was probably really over.
"No need to thank me, this is all basic information, everyone knows it. Please forgive me, Junior Brother, we still need to go buy some supplies. See you later."
"Brother, please do as you please."
Lin Xiang didn't know if Yueying Palace could find allies. If there were no allies, it would have no choice but to retreat to its defense line and give up large areas of its territory to the surrounding countries.
He had no sense of belonging to Da Gan, he just didn't want to experience the war himself.
If the regime in the area near Dongshan Village can change peacefully, it will be acceptable to whichever country it belongs to.
After watching the few people leave, Lin Xiang realized that the flow of people in the sect market had increased, and both the shops and the free trade market were crowded.
What sword cultivators love most is fighting. Now that they have the opportunity to fight with top sect disciples and gain contribution points, of course they have to go.
Many disciples will achieve breakthroughs during battle.
The world of cultivation thinks that sword cultivators are battle maniacs, and can be called the "idiots" of the world of cultivation. No one wants to provoke them, otherwise they will come out in full force, under the guise of actual combat exercises, but in fact they are extremely protective of their own shortcomings.
Of course, if they were killed in a head-on battle, the sword-cultivating sect would not take any revenge. It was just what they deserved because they were inferior in skills.
Almost all the disciples who usually practiced have come out of seclusion. They took out their best treasures and prepared to convert them into combat power and means of saving and escaping.
Lin Xiang made a fortune from Feng Jianan's space bag. After his wallet was full, he had the confidence to go into the store to check.
The Treasure Pavilion is the largest and most majestic building here, and there are people on different floors.
The waiter was enthusiastic and didn't look down on Lin Xiang because of his strength. Instead, he took the initiative to ask, "Fellow Daoist, what are you looking to buy or sell? We at Baibao Pavilion offer a variety of services, and we're sure you'll leave satisfied."
Lin Xiang used a detection spell on the waiter in front of him and found that he was actually a cultivator of level 18, not an ordinary person.
"I want to see if there are any suitable spells or magical tools, the kind with more offensive power."
He was not buying things for the sword cultivator, but looking for a powerful means of attack for the land god himself. Relying solely on the Panlong Whip was not a solution.
Even if one obtains the magical power of "The Universe in the Sleeve", it does not have much offensive capability. It is more inclined to trap enemies and imprison them.
The waiter thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of spell do you need, fellow Daoist? We at Baibao Pavilion have spells of all five elements, as well as spells that don't require any attributes, but they're much more expensive."
"Both gold and fire attributes are fine." Lin Xiang can actually cast spells of all attributes, but gold and fire attributes are the two with the strongest attack power, and spells are more inclined towards attack.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment."
The waiter handed Lin Xiang a jade slip, which contained the names of various spells and brief introductions, which was equivalent to a menu.
Various spells emerge one after another, with different powers and focuses.
Rocket Technique, Golden Awl Technique, Golden Needle Technique...
These spells are very common and do not have the effect that Lin Xiang wants.
The spell of Samadhi True Fire is very powerful, but it requires 10 high-quality spirit stones.
To sum up, I don’t like the cheap ones, and I can’t afford the expensive ones.
Lin Xiang originally thought that he was a profiteer, but in fact, the Treasure Pavilion was the one. No spell was priced lower than 20 low-grade spirit stones.
"How about it, fellow Taoist, do you have any magic spell that you like?" asked the waiter.
"The only thing I like, Samadhi True Fire, is too expensive. I'll save up some more spirit stones."
Lin Xiang acted very calmly and did not hide the fact that he was short of money. After all, 10 high-grade spirit stones were very expensive and how could an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator afford them?
The waiter was very polite and didn't show any displeasure at all. Instead, he reminded him, "I see that fellow Daoist seems to have just arrived. You can go to the Sutra Library and take a look. I remember that the spell Samadhi True Fire is included in the Sutra Library of the sect."
"Thank you for the reminder." Lin Xiang almost forgot that he had this benefit. He quickly asked, "May I ask your name, brother? If I want to do business in the future, I will definitely look for you."
In fact, he already knew the name of the clerk in front of him through detection technology, and planned to repay him when he had the chance in the future.
"My name is Lu Lin. I'll be working at the Treasure Pavilion for the next while. If you need anything, you can always contact me."
Lu Lin is a typical good guy. He does not look down on his fellow disciples who are weaker than him. He just wants to make good friends with them.
Lin Xiang carefully wrote down the name and then chose to say goodbye.
One high-grade spirit stone is equal to one hundred medium-grade spirit stones, and one medium-grade spirit stone is equal to one hundred low-grade spirit stones. Therefore, all of Lin Xiang's family assets combined do not even have a single high-grade spirit stone, and he is considered a poor boy.
Since a large number of fellow disciples are about to go down the mountain to the battlefield, it is a good opportunity to go to the stall area to sell some pills, talismans and other things.
Now, pills and talismans are both life-saving items and consumables. No one knows whether they can be easily replenished after going down the mountain, so you must prepare well before going down the mountain.
Lin Xiang finally found an open space in the corner. He took out a piece of cloth from the space ring and spread it on the ground. Then he put out the Qingxin Pills he had made, as well as the other pills he had obtained from Feng Jianan and the original owner of the space ring.
Except for the Red Dragon Pills that can be used for cultivation, put them all out and sell them at a high price!
The same goes for talismans. Only one mid-grade Heavenly Thunder Talisman was left as a reserve, and the rest of the low-grade talismans were all placed out.
The Qingxin Pills that restore spiritual power, the Qigong Pills that reduce consumption, as well as the Yangling Pills, the Detoxification Pills, and the Yuan Huan Pills were quickly sold out, bringing him a profit of 10 medium-grade spirit stones.
As for talismans, they are not very popular. Sword practitioners generally trust the sword in their hands. Even if they do not follow the path of breaking all laws with one sword, there are better channels.
The more important reason is that no low-level disciples came down the mountain this time. The lowest ones were disciples who had reached the great perfection of Qi Refining Stage and the early stage of Foundation Establishment. They certainly looked down on low-grade talismans.
Can any enemy that can be dealt with by low-grade talismans still be called an enemy?
What they need are mid-grade and high-grade talismans!
Seeing that the talismans were not selling well, Lin Xiang simply took the hundred-year-old silver arrow grass, which was obtained from the Dragon Palace of Longxi River. The silver arrow grass was of very high quality and could be used to make high-quality talisman paper.
As expected, several fellow disciples came forward to ask questions at the originally deserted stall, including a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage.
The cultivators who are capable of making top-grade talisman paper and drawing top-grade talismans are basically in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but there are also fellows in the Qi Refining Stage who want to take advantage of the opportunity.
"Fellow Daoist, how much is the Silver Arrow Grass?"
Lin Xiang raised his head and looked at the cultivator in front of him. He was wearing a light blue Taoist robe and it was obvious that he was a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
However, when setting up a stall here, we don’t care about the other party’s identity. Fighting is prohibited within the sect anyway.
He replied, "We're selling it in a package. Two hundred-year-old silver arrow grass for three high-grade spirit stones."
The normal market price is one piece of top-grade spirit stone, but now is an extraordinary period, everything is rising, and of course the price of raw materials must also rise.
The main reason is that it is impossible to split the spirit stone into half, otherwise he would sell it separately at the price of 1.5 high-quality spirit stones.
"Too expensive." The cultivator frowned. "How about this? I'll buy your eight hundred-year-old silver arrow grasses for ten high-grade spirit stones. How about that?"
"Sorry, I'll sell it to someone else."
Lin Xiang refused directly, he didn't need to lower the price.
Even though the price of silver arrow grass has increased by 0.5 high-grade spirit stones, the price of high-grade talisman paper has increased by 2 high-grade spirit stones per piece, not to mention high-grade talismans.
Everyone is making money, so why should I make less?
In the market, only Lin Xiang was selling hundred-year-old silver arrow grass, and the rest were at most a few decades old, and there was no way to make them into talisman paper.
What's more, a hundred-year-old silver arrow grass can be used to make many pieces of talisman paper, so there will definitely be no loss.
So he took out twelve high-grade spirit stones and reluctantly handed them to Lin Xiang: "Okay, these are all mine. If you have any more hundred-year-old silver arrow grass, remember to sell it to me. I'm Bo Wen from Tianyi Sword Peak, you can use this name to find me directly."
As one of the few talisman masters in the Sword Sect, Bo Wen is also seizing the opportunity to make money. He does not need to go down the mountain to participate in the battle, but just wants to take the opportunity to make more money to prepare for the formation of the elixir.
Cultivators at every stage have worries.
The Qi Refining Stage is preparing for the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Foundation Establishment Stage begins to worry about forming the Golden Elixir, and the Golden Elixir Stage needs to worry about breaking the Elixir into an Infant.
At present, the cultivator named Bowen is at level 28, and is indeed not far from level 30, the Jindan stage.
Fortunately, he has a side job of drawing talismans, and his ability to make money is much stronger than those who are just sword practitioners.
After Lin Xiang accepted the name card, he replied, "I'm sorry, Senior, I don't have any century-old silver arrow grass on hand right now. I only have some that are several dozen years old. I plan to let them grow until they're a century old."
Whether yes or no, you have to say no.
After all, the hundred-year-old silver arrow grass is relatively rare. It is either inherited from a family of cultivators, or one has a fortuitous encounter and found a cave that has been sealed for many years by a predecessor.
"Oh, I see. Are there any that are ten years old?" Bowen continued to ask.
"No, my family thinks it's not worthwhile to cut down the ten-year-old silver arrow grass, so we plan to wait until it grows to a hundred years old."
Where did he get his home from? It was nothing more than a way to dispel the other party's temptation and fabricate a background for himself.
Silver Arrow Grass is more common among large forces, but is quite precious among independent cultivators who have no support from any force.
Bo Wen hurried back to make talisman paper. After buying the things, he hurried to buy the blood of Jindan-stage monsters and other tools. He did not pay attention to an ordinary fellow disciple.
Ten mere high-grade spirit stones are nothing to a talisman master, and there is no need to violate the sect's rules.
Lin Xiang was not worried about being hunted down at all, and he would not leave the mountain in his swordsman disguise for a long time.
After selling most of his things, he started to wander around the free market. These spirit stones were originally enough to buy the Samadhi True Fire spell, but he was reminded that he still had a chance to visit the Sutra Library, so he put the idea aside for the time being.
Why spend money if you can learn free spells?
Now his focus is on various equipment and secondary professions. He sells as many cheap magic weapons as possible and stockpiles them to sell to players.
Many of the fellow disciples who were going down the mountain were selling magical instruments, jade slips of various techniques, and even elixirs. These were all spoils of their previous travels in the mortal world and could not be used directly.
Most sword cultivators have the blood of other cultivators on their hands, and killing and being killed is very common in the world of cultivation.
Even though you may be the winner today, you may never come back after you go down the mountain.
Low-level magic weapons are of no use to them, so it would be better to sell them for spirit stones.
So Lin Xiang started to select carefully and bought low-grade magic tools at different stalls at the price of 100 low-grade spirit stones. Normally, the price of these magic tools is around 150 spirit stones.
The prices of mid-to-high-end magical instruments have increased, while the prices of low-end magical instruments have decreased.
At the same time, Lin Xiang also collected spiritual plant techniques, spiritual beast breeding guides, talisman paper making, talisman drawing techniques, forging techniques, etc. These are the most basic things.
More profound things will not appear in the free trade market, but only in auctions or treasure pavilions.
Even 5 sets of raw materials for refining the Red Dragon Pill were collected!
If it weren't for his strong willpower, he would probably have to wander around for a while. He even collected three sets of formation flags to avoid the situation like that in Xishan Village from happening again.
Dongshan Village is protected by the Five Elements Wu Earth Formation and is very safe.
Since the people in Xishan Village have begun to believe in me, I have to protect their safety.
"After all, you can never buy all the good things. Let's go to the Sutra Library and have a look."
Lin Xiang decisively withdrew, determined not to buy anything that he would not use for the time being.
…
"That's it?"
The Sutra Library of such a large and powerful sect looked extremely ordinary, not even as grand as the Treasure Pavilion in the market town.
It is a three-story building made entirely of wood, and looks very ordinary.
Maybe he wanted to hide himself so as not to be discovered by the enemy, otherwise Lin Xiang really couldn't find the reason.
There are no gatekeepers or fellow disciples maintaining order here, only an occasional fellow disciple leaving.
Lin Xiang took the identity jade card in his hand, stepped into the door, and was immediately teleported to another space!
The passage of time without any warning.
In this space, countless stars appeared above the head, occasionally flashing alternately. They looked beautiful and dangerous. I don’t know what kind of formation it was.
He was stunned when he saw the jade slips in the light curtain in front of him. These jade slips contained countless pieces of information, even the unique skills of other small and medium-sized sects. It was obvious that they were not handed over by others on their own initiative.
Since it is the Sword Sect, it has the most various sword techniques.
Only by learning from the strengths of all schools can we have the opportunity to create new sword techniques!
Lin Xiang is not short of swordsmanship now. He can use the lower-grade Pure Yang Nine Swords and White Tiger Demon Subduing Swordsmanship, and the Taixuan Sword Sutra he practiced also has an exclusive set of Taixuan swordsmanship.
He didn't use it when fighting the ghost ape before because he was afraid of exposing his identity. This was because the Taixuan sword technique was too iconic, and people familiar with the world of cultivation had more or less heard of it.
It is not the time to reveal your identity yet. You can practice sword skills peacefully and find a powerful spell for the immortal.
Originally, he had set his sights on Samadhi True Fire, because this spell was so famous and appeared frequently in various film and television works and literary works, almost becoming a standard feature of masters.
Different from other spiritual fires born from nature, the Samadhi True Fire comes from the body of the cultivator and its power is no less than that of other spiritual fires!
But when Lin Xiang saw the introduction of another spell, he was deeply attracted.
[Five Elements Extinction Light: An ancient secret spell, gathering the essence of the five elements and the earth's magnetic force to refine the extinction light, extremely powerful! Five Elements spiritual roots are required to practice.]
If you haven't mastered the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light, you can still use the Extinction Divine Light of individual attributes, but they will be more powerful when combined.
This jade slip is really useless in the Sutra Library, because the five elements spiritual roots have long been abandoned by the times. The disciples who can enter the Qingwei Sword Sect can only have two elements spiritual roots at most, and three elements spiritual roots are not considered at all.
Lin Xiang is different. The clay figures he made have dual spiritual roots of gold and fire, but in fact the immortal himself does not have any spiritual roots at all and is able to simulate the five elements spiritual roots on his own.
At the same time, the heavy and time-consuming tasks of collecting the five elements' essence can be left to the players, and you only need to be responsible for collecting the geomagnetic force.
As the god of land, collecting geomagnetic force is a perfect professional task for him.
There is also an introduction at the end of this spell. If you can refine the Five Elements Magnetic Magical Treasure, the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light can be upgraded to the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light!
"It can be used as five small spells, or combined into one large spell, with the possibility of upgrading and strengthening it."
When Lin Han was just teleported in, he knew that he only had one chance to choose the jade slip. Once used, he could only wait until his realm was improved or he obtained sect contribution points before coming in to choose again.
The Five Elements Extinction Divine Light was not supposed to be in the jade slips that could be exchanged during the Qi Refining Stage, but because its properties were so useless, people had looked at it more than once over the past thousands of years, but no one chose to exchange it.
He became the only one.
The jade slip automatically flew up and stuck to Lin Xiang's forehead. Then the detailed practice method of this spell appeared in his mind. It was really a scam!
The rest of the spells require at most a primer to practice, but they can be practiced without a primer, but their power will be very small.
However, the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light cannot be cultivated at all. It must obtain enough Five Elements essence and geomagnetic force before it can be cultivated. Now he can only stare at the skill position in a daze.
NPC templates cannot forcefully activate this skill!
Before he could react, the invisible teleportation array immediately teleported him to the bottom of the plaque of the small and dilapidated Sutra Library.
The precious opportunity was used up like this, but Lin Xiang did not regret it at all. The more difficult it was to obtain the cultivation primer, the stronger the spell would be!
At least he has sand sculpture players to rely on, and he doesn't have to look for them everywhere by himself.
"It seems like the players need to expand their range of activities on their own. Otherwise, they won't be able to get what they need if they stay near Dongshan Village."
Now that they have grown strong enough, they must be allowed to go out and explore the world, so that they can understand the dangers of the world of cultivation.
In this turbulent environment, players can improve quickly.
They can fight in the outside world, but they have to keep their base camp well to avoid being targeted by powerful people and monks.
It's no use just hiding in your shell. You have to face the others.
"I hope to upgrade two more levels today and expand the land god's jurisdiction."
Lin Xiang rode a paper crane to the Demon-Suppressing Tower in the center of the sect. This majestic building, which stretched from the ground all the way to the depths of the white clouds in the sky, was so huge that it seemed impossible to tell how many floors it had.
Anyway, each floor has corresponding monsters or even evil demons. Disciples can enter and climb the tower at will, and they will be teleported out if they encounter fatal injuries.
It was the end of the month, and the disciples of the Sword Sect all appeared in the Demon-Suppressing Tower with weapons. As long as they were not in seclusion, they would come to the Demon-Suppressing Tower.
A sword that has not drunk blood is not sharp enough.
As the saying goes, you can't learn to swim by standing on the shore. Practicing swordsmanship alone without actual combat is just empty talk and fancy moves.
The reason why sword cultivators are stronger than other cultivators is because they have been walking between life and death since the beginning!
Lin Xiang has already mastered the Taixuan Sword Scripture, but his proficiency in Taixuan swordsmanship is still at 0 points.
On the one hand, there were too many things going on in Dongshan Village and he couldn't contact them. On the other hand, he was planning to use his skills in the Demon-Suppressing Tower to improve quickly.
"Senior Brother Liu, how many floors have you climbed today? You seem to be in perfect harmony with your energy. You should be entering the Foundation Establishment stage soon, right?"
"Shame on me. I've only climbed the fortieth floor, and the monsters behind me are already in the Foundation Establishment stage. I can't defeat them at all. I'll seek revenge on them after I advance!"
"That's amazing! I only climbed the 35th floor and couldn't go any higher. My spiritual energy was exhausted and I had no way to replenish it."
"I heard that Senior Brother Zhou reached the 49th floor yesterday with his Qi Refining Great Perfection, but got stuck at the 50th floor and couldn't get through."
"Is he that powerful? The 50th floor is already a late-stage foundation-building monster, right?"
"That's probably it. Senior Brother Zhou is still honing himself and refuses to enter the Foundation Establishment stage. He must be trying to break the 51st level record set by Master Yun Hao eight hundred years ago. If he does, he'll get five hundred contribution points and leave a name for himself throughout the sect!"
"If Senior Brother Zhou was willing to build a foundation, he could have done so five years ago. He has been suppressing his cultivation."
"Records aren't easy to break. Many people have tried over the years, but no one has ever climbed to the 50th floor, not even a tie."
“I don’t know who can do this.”
"I really hope someone in my generation can break the record so we can have something to talk about in the future."
Lin Xiang listened to the conversations around him. He felt that records were very far away from him and had nothing to do with him at all. He walked towards the interior of the Demon Suppression Tower, ready to welcome a hearty rain of experience!
The author has something to say:
