Ji Yulong stared solemnly at the rune paper on the table, holding a delicate brush in his right hand.

He held it very steadily, dipped it in the cinnabar on the side, and the pen was very smooth, drawing a series of seal inscriptions very smoothly, and the magic power flowed, and each stroke of this drawing was attached to the magic power.

But gradually, Ji Yulong's speed became slower and slower, the output of mana power became larger and larger, and his forehead slowly began to sweat.

After persevering for three minutes, Ji Yulong finished most of it, and when he reached the last stroke, he felt that he had reached his limit.

Both magic and mental power are running out.

Gritting his teeth, Ji Yulong quickly drew the last stroke, and shouted at the same time: "Pro!"

With the completion of the last stroke, the magic power in Ji Yulong's body was completely exhausted.

The rune paper began to tremble.

"Condense for me!" Ji Yulong threw away the brush, pointed to the rune paper with both hands, released the spiritual power in his body, and controlled the rune paper.

As long as the sigil on the rune paper can be stabilized, then the sigil is completed.

But it didn't go according to people's wishes, the last stroke was still too reluctant, and the magic power was unstable, which didn't fit well with the previous talisman seal.

With a "poof", the entire rune paper burned and instantly turned into ashes.

"Alas, it's still a little bit worse, it seems that it's really difficult to draw a talisman if it's less than Erding. Ji Yulong said to himself helplessly: "Drawing the simplest flame talisman can exhaust the magic power. ”

"It's a pity that magic power and spiritual power are a little different after all, even if I use spiritual energy to cultivate, it still can't fit perfectly, otherwise it will be much easier to mix magic power and spiritual power to draw talismans. ”

Ji Yulong began to clean up the table with some distress.

What was just burned was the high-grade rune paper, and this cinnabar, which was also the best cinnabar in Anlin City, which was made by mixing the blood of some demon beasts.

The cost of this failure is dozens of gold coins, and it's all money!

Sure enough, repair is really the most costly!

Although Red Lotus was not there, Ji Yulong still began to teach himself how to make talismans.

It's not entirely true to say that he is self-taught, he has many low-level talisman production methods in his body, and there are many talisman-making experience inheritance.

But after all, experience is experience, practice is practice, and there are still some gaps.

After more than a month of training, Ji Yulong has not completely drawn a talisman seal.

There are reasons for his lack of experience, and a large part of the reason is that he does not have enough magic power and spiritual power.

The cost of talismans is more than ten times that of normal spell use!

With Ji Yulong's cultivation at the ninth level, the magic power in his body is enough to perform the Yellow Rank Intermediate Fire Technique ten times at one time, but it is not enough to make a flame talisman but be able to completely consume the magic power in his body!

Thinking of this, Ji Yulong was angry.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Zhu Rong shouted outside the door: "Brother Long, have you done it?"

Ji Yulong calmed his face, walked over and opened the door, and a brain melted on Zhu Rong's head and scolded: "What are you shouting, even if I am about to finish this, I will be shouted by you! ”

Zhu Rong smiled, didn't mind, walked into the dormitory and began to look for food.

Tang Feiyu also walked in and closed the door casually.

Ji Yulong said depressedly: "What are you turning over! I don't have anything to eat, if I had something to eat, you would have turned it out!"

"That's right. Zhu Rong said with a smile: "Then I'll wait for you to load the goods in a few days, and I'll turn it over again." ”

"You know how to eat!" Ji Yulong said angrily: "It's all for the sake of the two of you, I haven't cultivated for a month, so I'm just practicing talismans! ”

Tang Feiyu scratched his nose embarrassedly and said, "Brother Long, you endure it for a few more days, I'm so fast, I should be ready to break through to Erding in the next few days." ”

Zhu Rong on the side hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I've only been in the ninth layer for a few days! When I reach the peak of the ninth layer, you can break through again~"

"It's April 1st today, half a year has passed, and you haven't reached the peak of Yiding, aren't you?"

Zhu Rong said a little unconvinced: "Brother Long, you have to speak with your conscience... In half a year, I have cultivated from the fourth layer of the first tripod to the ninth layer of the first tripod, is this still slow?"

"You go and see our classmates, they are still hovering around the fifth or sixth layer of Qi cultivation. ”

"Do you still want to compare with them?" Ji Yulong hated iron and said: "You don't want to think about what kind of exercises you are cultivating? You can still form three talents to gather spirit arrays to cultivate every day, not to mention that in the past month, I have not absorbed the spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy I have gathered has been transmitted to you through the formation!"

"Also, do you remember how many demon pills in the foundation building period you used yourself?"

"12 pills! You have used 12 demon pills in the foundation building period in the past six months, and now you have started to use the 13th one, right?

Thinking of this, Ji Yulong's heart ached, and his heart was sad, the 6 demon pills didn't last long at all and ran out.

There was no way, in order to cultivate speed, Ji Yulong went to the Star Treasure Pavilion to buy 35 demon pills at one time, and spent 350,000 gold coins!

For this, Ji Yulong was unhappy for three whole days, and his heart hurt.

A mountain of gold is gone, which is really like spending money.

Zhu Rong smiled and didn't dare to refute again.

Ji Yulong is right, every time the sequelae left by absorbing the demon pill are eliminated, he immediately starts to absorb the new demon pill, except for the three of them, it is estimated that no one else in the entire Anlin City can be so extravagant!

Of course, the result was good, and the cultivation speed of Ji Yulong and the three of them almost doubled.

As early as the beginning of March, Ji Yulong was already at the peak of the first tripod and the ninth layer, and Wu Xiu's breakthrough to the second tripod was also a foundation-building process, just like cultivating immortals.

At this time, Ji Yulong had already sensed the opportunity to build a foundation, and he could break through at any time.

Tang Feiyu is also fast, even the slowest Zhu Rong is actually not far behind, the slowest is ten days, and if it is fast, it will be six or seven days to reach the peak of the first peak.

After that, it depends on the individual's talent, the perfect combination of witchcraft and physical body, the opportunity to feel the foundation, and then complete the foundation.

"Forget it, just what I owe you in my last life, come on, let's start cultivating. Ji Yulong didn't really blame them, but the talisman making failed again, so he took the opportunity to complain.

Anyway, don't worry about them getting angry, Tang Feiyu and Zhu Rong's cheeks have been extremely thick, no matter how you say it, they don't mind.

The three of them sat down according to their positions and skillfully formed a three-talent spirit gathering array.

Ji Yulong was also helpless, this formation could only be performed together by cultivation of the same level, if Ji Yulong broke through in advance, then there would be no way for Zhu Rong and Tang Feiyu to set up the formation, which would definitely affect their cultivation speed.

In the end, it would only be possible to sacrifice Ji Yulong's cultivation speed alone.

As soon as they entered the cultivation state, Zhu Rong and Tang Feiyu took out the demon pill and began to quickly absorb the aura.

Ji Yulong was also absorbing the aura, but he didn't inhale the aura into his body, but absorbed the aura around him and then used the formation to divide it evenly between Zhu Rong and Tang Feiyu.

In this way, Ji Yulong was able to maintain the peak of the first and ninth layers without breaking through, and the cultivation speed of Zhu Rong and Tang Feiyu had also increased by another level.

Seeing that the two of them slowly entered a normal cultivation state, and the aura in his own body was also on the right track, forming a fixed route.

Ji Yulong closed his eyes and began to continue to study the three talents gathering spirit array.

Ever since he reached the peak of Yiding a month ago, and was forced to open his business and accompany them to cultivate, Ji Yulong has been studying this formation to see if he can change it and make it easier for him.

It's a pity that the formation is very rigorous, where is it so easy to change.

Today, Ji Yulong is still studying the convergence of the aura in his body and the operation of the aura in the formation.

Suddenly, he thought, since this formation is based on the human body and the meridians in the body are the formation, then I will find another thing to absorb the aura instead of the dantian, as long as I don't change the formation base?

Ji Yulong is a doer, he does it when he thinks of it.

Take out a demon pill, the demon pill itself will also be able to be used as a formation base, the demon pill is originally a demon beast similar to the existence of a dantian, and naturally it also has the function of absorbing aura.

Hold the demon pill against the dantian, control the aura no longer into your own dantian, but into the demon pill, and then flow back into the body from the demon pill, running along the previous route.

I was a little unwell at first, but I quickly got used to it, and there were no problems, it was feasible.

After that, it will depend on whether the demon pill can operate autonomously.

Ji Yulong was engrossed in sensing the demon pill, and as soon as there was any abnormal movement, he immediately stopped.

In this way, five minutes passed, and Ji Yulong felt that the time was almost up, and he began to slowly withdraw his spiritual power.

Reiki is still working!

You don't have to bother controlling it yourself, and this formation will operate normally on its own.

This... It made him succeed.

If there was a formation master present at this time, he would definitely shout "Genius!"

This is definitely a genius, using the demon pill to replace his own dantian to run the formation, this is not only luck, but also to grasp every detail of the formation operation, control the state of the demon pill to the best, and perfectly integrate it into the formation.

This kind of control is what is most needed when setting up the formation.

This talent for strain, this kind of control is definitely a genius for cultivating the formation path!

At this time, Ji Yulong didn't care about this, he only knew now that he didn't need to waste any more time practicing with them.

Now he can do whatever he wants.

Ji Yulong decisively stopped caring about the formation, closed his eyes and began to summarize the experience of today's talisman making, and then sorted out the knowledge of talisman making in his mind, the combination of the two, Ji Yulong's talisman making level is also steadily improving.

At this time, Ji Yulong was equivalent to studying other Dao methods while forming a formation, which can only be done with the soul strength of the distraction period!

But he did it with a little skill!

Nothing was said all night.

Early in the morning, Zhu Rong and Tang Feiyu woke up at the same time.

Tang Feiyu said happily: "I already vaguely feel the opportunity to build a foundation. ”

"This cultivation is going very well, and I feel that I am getting faster. Zhu Rong is also in a good mood.

Ji Yulong was not very happy, looking at the demon pill in his hand that had dimmed a lot, he was extremely depressed.

I didn't expect that using the demon pill to replace their own dantian running formation would consume the demon pill so much, no wonder they cultivated so smoothly and absorbed all the demon power in their demon pill!

Looking at the two of them who were happy, he said helplessly: "You just know that the cultivation is fast, look at the demon pill in your own hands!

Zhu Rong scratched his head and said, "Uh... I feel that it is enough for me to use up this one, and I will not need the demon pill in the future, Brother Long, I will save you a demon pill!"

Tang Feiyu also hurriedly said: "Brother Long, I'm sure, I don't need the demon pill anymore, I can break through by myself!"

"Save one?" Ji Yulong said angrily: "Then I still want to praise you for saving?"

Zhu Rong said embarrassedly: "It's all to blame on the master, she gave us three demon pills, and it was refreshing to try to quickly improve our cultivation, how could I still be willing to cultivate slowly by myself..."

"Alas..."Ji Yulong sighed: "Sure enough, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, and they have raised you." ”

"From the first time we started using the Demon Pill, we have used a total of 42 Demon Pills, worth at least 420,000 gold coins. ”

"Feiyu, this has almost half of the Tang family's assets, right?"

Tang Feiyu also smiled awkwardly: "Is there so many? I estimate that if I sell the entire Tang family, I can sell it for nearly a million gold coins, almost half of the Tang family, hehe.."

Ji Yulong held his forehead and said, "Today I will start to open up sources and reduce expenditures! I don't have much money on hand, and I also told you that it will never be possible to make money like before in the future." ”

"From today onwards, I will no longer use the demon pill to cultivate, and I only have two on hand, so keep it for emergencies." ”

"As for open source, we are all on the same floor, so let's go to the task union to take over the task and do it. In two days, when the fat man has reached the peak of Yiding, we will break through as soon as possible, and then we will be able to make money quickly by taking on some tasks in the foundation building period. ”

Zhu Rong was eager to try: "Okay, I've been practicing in the academy, I'm bored to death, I have long wanted to go out to take some tasks to do it, earn some contribution points, and don't have to squeeze Brother Long all the time." ”

Tang Feiyu also said: "Well, we have used so many resources, it's time to show the results of our cultivation, with my thunder attribute genius coming out, it is not as simple as eating and drinking water." ”

Tang Feiyu looked confident, stepped on the chair with one foot, and posed handsomely.

"Who are you looking for?" Ji Yulong smiled: "Since you are so confident, it's good, then you can do the task well, and the contribution points will all belong to me, and when you pay off what you owe me, I will consider providing you with cultivation resources." ”

Zhu Rong and Tang Feiyu decisively shut up and didn't say anything, Ji Yulong had a knife mouth and a tofu heart, so just pretend not to hear it.

Looking at the two who pretended to be stupid, Ji Yulong didn't say anything more.

touched the identity ring on his hand, and couldn't help but sigh: "We are still too poor!"

......

Kong Han looked at the three people he hadn't seen for a long time, and said sternly: "I mean that you can take classes selectively, but I didn't say that you can not attend any classes!"

"Tell me how long you haven't been to class, your homeroom teacher, Ms. Fang, has come to me many times and said that she can't even remember the three of you. ”

"Not only don't you go to class, but I don't even come here, the last time I saw you was during the Chinese New Year, right? It's April!"

Zhu Rong and Tang Feiyu looked at Ji Yulong decisively and did not speak.

Ji Yulong was helpless, so he could only speak: "Dean, we are also too focused on cultivation, and we didn't pay attention to the time all of a sudden, we know that we are wrong, and we promise that we won't in the future!"

"Hmph, how focused are you? Can you still practice for three months at a time?" Kong Han was unwilling to let them go easily, and wanted to take the opportunity to educate the three of them well.

Said proudly: "I have also been concentrating on cultivation recently, and I have broken through to the sixth layer of the Jindan stage, and I am about to enter the seventh layer to the late stage of the Jindan, and I have not delayed the work of the academy." Tell me, what cultivation achievements have you had? Have you all reached the eighth layer?"

The three of them glanced at each other, and Ji Yulong tried his best to make his tone more modest and said, "We have all reached the ninth floor. ”

Kong Han was stunned for a moment, his shocked look flashed, he tried his best to hide his surprise, and said lightly: "Well, it's not bad, this speed is barely fast." ”

"But don't be complacent, even if you reach the ninth layer of the first tripod, but it is not so easy for you to build a foundation and successfully reach the second tripod!"

"I think back then, I stayed up for seven months at the peak of Qi cultivation to make my spiritual power fit with my soul, sensed the opportunity to build the foundation, and completed the foundation building. ”

"As far as I know, the witch cultivator needs to make the magic power and the body fit in order to sense the opportunity to build the foundation and break through to the second ding. There are three months left until July, so you have to do your best. ”

Ji Yulong was a little helpless, he really didn't want to show off, but Kong Han took the initiative to mention it, and he couldn't hide it from him.

There was no choice but to speak again: "Uh... Dean, I have sensed the opportunity to build a foundation, and I can break through at any time. Feiyu also vaguely sensed the opportunity to build a foundation, and the fat man was still a little close, but I felt that as long as he had enough magic power, he would be able to build a foundation soon. ”

Seeing that Kong Han looked at them and didn't speak, Ji Yulong could only continue to explain: "The physique of the three of us seems to be quite special, and the fit between our physical body and magical power is very high, and there is almost no need to deliberately adjust the resonance of magical power and physical power, and the fit itself can meet the foundation building." ”

Kong Han's face became serious, and he said lightly: "Well, I know, then what is the matter with you coming to me?"

Seeing that Kong Han didn't have the anger he had before, Zhu Rongcai hurriedly said: "We want to take on some tasks to do and earn some contribution points, so we specially came to report to you and see if you have any suggestions." ”

"I don't have any good advice either. Kong Han smiled: "You can start with the lowest-level task, increase the difficulty little by little, and accumulate as much experience as possible." Also, don't take on those combat missions first, and then take on combat missions after you get used to them. ”

"There's nothing else, you still have to learn and adapt on your own. ”

Ji Yulong nodded and said, "Okay, we understand." ”

"Well, it's nothing, you guys go first, remember to stay safe, and come to me if you have something. ”

The three of them bowed and withdrew.

As soon as the three of them left, Kong Han, who was caressing his beard, suddenly let out an "ah", accidentally used too much force, and tore off several beards.

He scolded angrily: "Are these three little cubs here to show off to me? It's only been half a year and I'm about to complete the foundation building! I've only been able to improve my cultivation level by half a year! I think back then, I was stuck at the peak of Qi cultivation for seven months! I almost couldn't help but take the Tsukidan!"

"Is this deliberately angry with me? It must have been taught by that old bastard of Wu Qi! I'm so angry, it's really more popular than people!"

Wu Qi, who was far away in the imperial capital, suddenly sneezed and muttered: "Who is scolding me? I'm about to break through the Yuanying people, it's impossible to catch a cold! It must be Kong Han's old boy who is talking bad about me." ”

"I don't know what happened to those three boys, but I still have to find a way to take them over and practice. ”

Retracting his mind, Wu Qi continued to cultivate.

......

Task Guild.

Ji Yulong and the three of them stared at the various tasks on the screen, and they felt a little dazzled for a while.

Gathering Missions, Delivery Missions, Protection Missions, Combat Missions, Acquisition Missions, Refining Missions, and more.

There are more than 10 categories.

And each category clicks on, and there are countless tasks arranged according to difficulty.

The difficulty of the task is generally based on the actual situation, and the guild predicts what level of monks will be needed to complete it, and it will be divided into what level.

The tasks in Anlin City can be divided into six levels, which are three difficulties before, during, and late stages of Qi training, and three difficulties before, during, and late stages of foundation building.

There are almost no difficult tasks in this Anlin City.

"Why don't you give contribution points to this task in the early stage of Qi training, only gold coins?" Zhu Rong complained.

Tang Feiyu said as a matter of course: "This task in the early stage of Qi cultivation is almost as long as those who have cultivated have a chance to complete it, who is willing to pay the contribution value, it would be good to have gold coins." ”

Ji Yulong checked the tasks one by one, frowned and said, "This contribution value is really not easy to earn." ”

"A task in the middle stage of Qi training basically only gives one or two contribution points, and the task in the late stage of Qi training is only three or four contribution points. ”

"The tasks in the early stage of foundation building are better, and you can get about ten contribution points. ”

"In other words, if we want to earn back the money of a demon pill, we must complete at least three tasks in the late stage of Qi training. ”

Tang Feiyu casually clicked on a task and said: "Not only that, you look at this task in the late stage of qi training, kill a fire dog in the late stage of qi training, and hand in the complete corpse of the fire dog, you can get four contribution points." ”

Zhu Rong also frowned and said, "There is a problem with this task, this fire dog is a group demon beast!"

"That's right!" Tang Feiyu continued: "If we hadn't learned the knowledge of demon beasts, just looking at this mission and going to hunt the fire dog by ourselves stupidly, it is estimated that the end would not be too good." The Mission Guild is only responsible for issuing tasks and is not responsible for providing information. If you want intelligence, you have to spend money to buy it. ”

Ji Yulong also smiled bitterly: "It seems that there is really no class in the academy that is redundant, and this demon beast theory course is also very important, we were not very willing to take this course before, and we will have to rely on ourselves to learn by ourselves in the future." ”

Tang Feiyu nodded and said, "This is not the key, if you just spend some money to buy intelligence, forget it." But you think, if you want to kill a fire dog in the late stage of Qi training and bring back a complete corpse, how many people do you have to move?"

"Fire dogs generally live as a family unit, and normally there will be two adult dogs plus three to six puppies. If you want to complete the task, you need at least three late-stage Qi cultivation monks or equivalent combat power. ”

"It is estimated that this is also the reason why this task will give four contribution points, three monks in the late stage of Qi training take the risk of hunting the fire dogs, even if they bring back the corpses of two adult fire dogs at the same time, then they can only get four contribution points, and then sell the corpse of the other one and the demon pill, it is estimated that they can get three thousand gold coins. ”

"This is divided among three people, how much can one person get?"

Zhu Rong said depressedly: "Sure enough, I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are at home, and the speed of earning contribution points is too slow! ”

Ji Yulong said calmly: "This is normal, if the contribution value is so easy to earn, then it is not worth much." ”

"Let's not get entangled, let's take on a little bit of the task of training the mid-stage of qi training first. ”

Then the three of them began to check the tasks in the middle stage of qi training one by one.

Five minutes later, Ji Yulong chose a task and said, "That's it, collect the Yellow Rank Intermediate Elixir Snake Blood Grass." This snake blood grass is still relatively common, and it is not bad to be able to exchange two contribution points. ”

"Is this okay, let's find two more together?" Tang Feiyu suggested, one person can only take one task at the same time, but they can take one task by one, and when the time comes, they can complete it together and hand it over.

"Of course, otherwise it would be too inefficient for us to act together. Snake Blood Grass can be found in the outer areas of the Sunset Forest, and two more quests can be found along the way. ”

In the end, the trio chose two more tasks.

Collect anchovies and reward two contribution points.

Kill the ghost horn sheep in the middle of qi training, hand in the ghost horn, and the reward is also two contribution points.

All three quests can be completed on the outskirts of the Sunset Forest.

The three of them took the appointment form to the window to handle the task and pick it up.

"Hello, you two have an identity ring and can directly receive the task, but this gentleman does not have an identity ring, please show your ID card, and we will do zero time registration. ”

Zhu Rong depressedly took out his ID card, handed it over and asked, "How to buy an identity ring?"

"One contribution point can be exchanged for a red identity ring, which you can exchange at the exchange area. ”

"It's so dark, this is equivalent to 10,000 gold coins and a ring!" Zhu Rong muttered.

"The task in the middle of Qi training, the task period is fifteen days, if it is not completed by the time, it will be defaulted as a task failure, and the deposit will be deducted. For three missions, you need to pay a deposit of ten percent of the gold. ”

There was nothing to bargain about, and Ji Yulong got the mission voucher after paying the deposit.

As soon as he walked out of the door of the mission union, Zhu Rong said a little depressedly: "This immortal cultivation is different from what we imagined before! I thought that if I entered the Immortal Cultivation Academy, I would be able to eat fragrant and spicy food and wait for death." ”

"But I didn't expect that it was still the same as before, and I still had to work and do tasks, which is no different from ordinary people's work!"

Ji Yulong nodded and said, "Indeed, this is also something that can't be helped, there is no gain without paying." ”

"Who made us poor? If we have money, why do we have to do these tasks? It's just that we're so poor. ”
