The Story of the Fourth World (45)
Meditating and practicing "Qingyun Practicing Qi Decision" overnight instead of sleeping, since he started practicing, Su Hang felt that he hadn't slept for a long time. Although this exercise is average, it can't be practiced, but I don't know what my spiritual root attribute is, and the cultivation of the corresponding attribute with the spiritual root attribute will be faster, this is what Chen Nan told Su Hang last time.
Chen Nan once said that although most immortal cultivators themselves don't know what the spiritual root is, the attributes of the spiritual root do have a great impact on the cultivation progress of the immortal cultivator, and there are too few people born with the spiritual root, so the probability of the appearance of the spiritual root in the descendants of the immortal cultivator and the immortal cultivator after they become husband and wife will be much greater, which is why the immortal cultivation family can survive forever, and the probability of having a spiritual root in the descendants is high, so that the path of cultivation can be continued.
The requirements for the qualification of the corresponding spiritual root of the sect are higher, and it is not that there will be another sect to accept disciples, and the treatment of good spiritual roots is good after entering the sect, and the poor spiritual roots cannot enter the sect, and most of the loose cultivators are actually these immortal cultivators with bad spiritual roots.
Generally speaking, the spiritual root is divided into gold, wood, water, fire, and earth according to the attributes of the five elements, but there will also be mutated spiritual roots, such as: wind, thunder, ice and other spiritual roots, this kind of mutated spiritual roots are born with a single spiritual root, which is a sought-after resource of various major sects, most of the immortal cultivators with spiritual roots have more than one attribute in their bodies, the more spiritual roots of different attributes, the worse the qualifications, although these can also sense the aura of heaven and earth, but the cultivation effect is half the effort, and there is no hope of breaking through the foundation in a lifetime.
There is only one attribute of a single spiritual root, which is the best qualification, known as the heavenly spiritual root, just like a child of God, the cultivation is twice the result with half the effort, and the bottleneck to break through is much smaller than others.
However, the Heavenly Spirit Root is too rare, so the main fact of the general sect is that the disciples are two spirit roots or three spirit roots, and the cultivation of immortal cultivators with these qualifications is much stronger than the four spirit roots and five spirit roots, and they are also very good seedlings.
In the morning, I feel the untraceable aura in the body, and it is a good thing to be able to become stronger, it was a little late when I arrived in Fang City yesterday, and I didn't know much about it after cleaning up for a while, so I want to go shopping today, and by the way, I will sell two elixirs to see the value of the elixir. Plan for that later.
I inquired with Xiao Er, the largest trading house here is Jubao Zhai, Ju Bao Zhai's shop covers almost all the markets in Daqian, and has a good reputation, selling magic weapons, pills, talismans, elixirs, materials, and also recycling these items.
Took out two ginseng sticks from the jade pendant space, but not the first one, it was found after learning the "Elixir Record", and it has grown into a century-old herb in a short period of time, Su Hang decided to sell these two ginsengs in exchange for spirit stones, he needs a spirit stone to sell shoes and books and practice things to enrich himself, this is the money that must be spent, and he also needs to learn a skill.
The four arts of cultivating immortals: Dan, instrument, talisman, array, practice is exquisite: the law of the wealthy couple, and these four skills are the most intuitive skills that can bring huge benefits after learning, although the jade pendant space can be planted with rare multi-year elixirs, but if the behavior of exchanging centennial elixirs for money has been in the eyes of people with hearts, it will be different.
Therefore, there must be a skill that can cover up the means of earning spirit stones, and after summing up, it is found that only alchemy is the most suitable for him, and each of the four arts of cultivating immortals requires talent and a lot of investment to achieve something, Su Hang still doesn't know how his alchemy talent is, but the elixir that he needs to practice to learn alchemy should not be lacking.
Out of the door, lock the room with a warrant, the house is on the fourth floor of the Xianlai Inn, the first and second floors are the canteen, and when you get to the second floor, you can see a lot of immortal cultivators dining, and you can't open the valley without going to the foundation, so you still need to fill the five internal organs.
After eating, according to the route told by Xiao Er, go to Jubao Zhai, the pavilions of Jubao Zhai all show their own wealth, two floors higher than the surrounding buildings, luxurious decoration, but Su Hang did not go directly, but entered a hundred herbs not far from Jubao Zhai, at this time a store specializing in selling pills and spiritual grass.
"Welcome to Daoyou, I don't know what pill you want to buy?" There was only one old man in the shop, who looked to be fifty or sixty years old, and he smelled of herbs. Seeing Su Hang entering, he greeted.
"Seniors are good, I don't know if there are any pills suitable for the early stage of qi cultivation that can be recommended." Su Hang asked.
"In the early stage of qi training, you can take the grass pill, which is suitable for use in the early stage of qi training, and it has no effect after four layers, ten pills in a bottle, and the price is ten spirit stones." The old man posed for a jade bottle.
It seems that this is the grass returning pill, Su Hang thought that he had not taken the pill since he cultivated, I don't know what the effect of this herb returning pill is, but the pill is also a big help in cultivation, so I must buy it, "Can the predecessors be cheaper, how about the Eight Spirit Stones?" "Where would Su Hang negotiate the price before, but he was really reluctant to spend spirit stones to buy pills.
"It can't be cheap, the pill is a precious resource for cultivation, how can there be a bargain, there can't be a less!" The old man's eyes widened, his momentum was resolute, and he didn't let it go at all, so Su Hang had no choice but to take out the spirit stone and buy this bottle of elixir.
Putting the pill in the storage bag and remembering the matter, he asked again, "Senior, I don't know if you accept the elixir here, how do you collect it?" ”
The old man had just become a business, he was in a good mood, and said to Su Hang with a smile, "Ordinary herbs can only produce the value of alchemy for about ten years, generally according to the variety of herbs, it is not very good, in one spirit stone to five spirit stones, if it is a particularly rare herb, the price will be a little higher, the year of the elixir is very important, if it is a herb of more than fifty years, take the common ginseng as an example, the most ten years are about one or two spirit stones." The price of fifty years has risen to thirty or forty spirit stones, and if it is more than a hundred years, the price has risen to more than eighty to one hundred, what, what kind of elixir do you kid want to sell? The old man smacked his lips after speaking, but in fact, he didn't pay too much attention to what elixir Su Hang could come up with, and the elixirs of the older years basically had high-level demon beasts entrenched, how could a kid who practiced qi in the second layer have it.
"I just asked about the market, if the next time I encounter an elixir in the wild, I can pick it back and sell it to my seniors." Su Hang shook his head and turned around and walked out of the Baicao Hall, and walked into Jubaozhai after three or two steps.
As soon as you enter the door, you can see only a few women who practice qi, and I didn't see a monk in the inside, Su Hang was a little curious, didn't Jubao Zhai say the biggest trading house, why didn't there even be a guest, and a woman ushered in at this time.
"Senior, welcome to Jubao Zhai, I don't know if you want to buy goods or sell goods?" It turned out that the woman was a salesperson of Jubao Zhai.
Su Hang asked, "I heard that Jubaozhai is the largest trading house before, why don't you see other Taoist friends purchasing?" ”
The woman replied with a smile: "In order to protect the privacy of the guests, we are all based on the needs of the guests in a separate room transaction, if you want to sell materials, we will also have seniors to conduct a professional appraisal and evaluation, at this time we Jubao Zhai is the foundation, please rest assured, if it is not convenient, I can take you to the second floor of the independent room transactions." ”
I didn't expect the service of this Jubao Zhai to be so thoughtful, no wonder I didn't see a guest, but the reputation was really praised.
Su Hang followed the woman up to the second floor, which was divided into multiple rooms, and the walls were densely covered with runes, which looked very tight. The woman took out a warrant, opened a room, and invited Su Hang in, "Fellow Daoist, I don't know what kind of transaction you want to make, I'll help you go and ask the appraiser." ”
There is nothing to say about the service of this Jubao Zhai, although he is just a newcomer on the second level of Qi training, but the service of others makes Su Hang feel like a foundation building monk!
"I want to sell two elixirs in the next year, the year should be more than a hundred years, and then buy some items!" Su Hang said to the woman that the room was simple, with a table and two chairs.
Hearing Su Hang's words, the woman's eyes lit up, the elixir of more than a hundred years is also a good business, "Fellow Daoist, please rest for a while, I will go and ask the appraiser to trade with you." ”
With that, the woman withdrew! Su Hang sat on the chair, and it didn't take much effort, the door opened again, and the woman came in with an old man, "Fellow Daoist, this is our master in charge of the elixir in Jubao Zhai, Master Liu Zhenfeng, he is in charge of the transaction with you!" ”
The old man took a step forward and sat opposite Su Hang, "Xiaoyou, I am Liu Zhenfeng, I am responsible for the transaction of any elixir and elixir, I heard that Xiaoyou plans to sell two elixirs that are more than a hundred years old, I don't know if I can take them out and let me appreciate one or two!" The woman retreated after Liu Zhenfeng sat down!
Hearing this, Su Hang took out two ginseng sticks from the storage bag, he didn't prepare the box of medicinal materials in advance, and the ginseng fell directly on the table after being taken out, "Senior, these two ginseng strains, please estimate it?" I'm going to buy it in exchange for this cultivation resource! ”
After the testing of Liu's predecessors, it was determined that the two ginseng plants are 120 years old, and the medicinal power of one plant is close to 200 years old.
In the last bargaining, one plant was sold for ninety spirit stones, and the other plant was sold for one hundred and two spirit stones, mainly because ginseng was not a special medicinal material for immortal cultivators, and the medicinal power of the twenty-second plant was still some years behind! Otherwise, the price is still high.
After selling the elixir, Su Hang proposed to buy a copy of the Qigong practice, the exercises he is practicing now are indeed too ordinary, and if he wants to use this exercise to cultivate to the foundation building period, I don't know how many years it will take!
"I don't know what kind of spiritual root Xiaoyou is, I can also recommend exercises for you, if the exercises are not in line with the spiritual root attributes, it is also not good for cultivation!" Master Liu Zhenfeng asked after hearing Su Hang's needs.
Su Hang was a little embarrassed at this time, he didn't seem to know what kind of spiritual root he was, and he had never measured the attributes of the spiritual root. "The kid also accidentally embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, and he has not tested his spiritual root attributes, I wonder if the predecessors can test the spiritual root here?"
"It's okay, Xiaoyou don't have to worry, I still have the spirit plate!" After that, he took out a talisman from his arms, and he didn't know what to say to the talisman seal, with a wave of his hand, the talisman turned into a flash of fire and disappeared, this is a transmission note, I saw Chen Nan use this kind of talisman in Fangshi before, it looks very convenient.
After a while, the woman from before came in with a bronze disc the size of a basin, and after handing the bronze disc to Liu Zhenfeng, she retreated.
"This is the spirit plate that can test the spirit root, Xiaoyou can put your palm in the center of the spirit board, no other operation is required, this spirit plate can show the spirit root attribute of Xiaoyou after it is activated!"
Liu Zhenfeng placed the spirit plate on the table, pinched out a spell and hit it into the plate, and the spirit plate emitted a faint white light, which seemed to have been activated.
Su Hang put his right hand in the center of the Soul Appraisal Plate, he didn't have any special feeling, but he saw that the Soul Appraisal Plate produced a small green cloud, and before the green cloud was formed, a red cloud was generated, which infected the green cloud, and there was no other change after a while.
"It seems that Xiaoyou's spiritual root attribute is the Fire Wood Twin Spirit Root! Very good! The heavenly spirit root does not come out, and the double spirit root is the sought-after seedling of each major sect, and the spiritual root attribute of Xiaoyou is also very good, wood makes fire! It can greatly improve the ability of Xiaoyou's fire-based spells. Moreover, the wood fire dual spiritual root is also the most suitable spiritual root attribute for alchemy, I wonder if Xiaoyou plans to learn an alchemy? Liu Zhenfeng also secretly sighed after seeing Su Hang's spiritual root attribute, he thought it was just an ordinary casual cultivation, but he didn't expect the spiritual root attribute to be so good, if he didn't die halfway in the future, I'm afraid he would be able to break through the foundation.
Su Hang didn't expect that he would be a double spirit root, after all, the heavenly spirit root is too rare, and the best qualification recruited by the general sect is only a double spirit root, and according to Liu Zhenfeng, the spirit root attribute is also very consistent with the alchemy he plans to learn.
Getting back to the point, since the spiritual root attribute has been determined, Su Hang opened his mouth and asked, "I wonder if the seniors can recommend a suitable exercise for me?" ”
"Of course it's no problem, I don't know if Xiaoyou plans to major in fire-based exercises or wood-based exercises? If it is a fire system, our store has "Yanyang Jue", "Nanming Gong", "Agni Huo Jue", if it is a wood system, you can choose "Aoki Gong", "Changchun Gong" two kinds, I don't know what choice to make.
Su Hang is just entering the immortal path, how can he tell the good from the bad of the exercises, so he had to lick his face and ask: "I don't know how these exercises are different and how much is the price?" ”
Liu Zhenfeng patiently explained the advantages and disadvantages for Su Hang, and after the analysis of Liu's predecessors, Su Hang still decided to buy "Nanming Gong", which is the most expensive of the above five books! The most prominent point is that this exercise has an upper-level exercise, and after cultivating the "Nanming Gong" to the perfection of qi training, you can directly practice the upper-level exercise "Nanming Lihuo Sutra" after building the foundation.
"Nanming Lihuo Sword Sutra" is an exercise that can be cultivated directly from the foundation building period to the Yuan infant stage, and the upper-level exercises are also included in Jubao Zhai, but this grade of exercises is not available in the branch of Yuxifang.
But this is not the main reason why Su Hang chose "Nan Ming Gong", mainly because "Nan Ming Gong" with fire materials can produce their own spiritual fire during the Qi training period, alchemy is not possible without spiritual fire cooperation, generally the alchemists in the Qi training period will rent a ground fire room, with the help of earth fire alchemy, but the earth fire room is not cheap, or use spirit stones to urge some special magic circles to produce spiritual fire alchemy, only the foundation building monks will produce their own true fire, so "Nan Ming Gong" The fact that you can generate spiritual fire during the Qi training period makes this exercise twice as expensive as the others.
In the end, Su Hang still took out the spirit stone that he had just arrived and had not yet covered the heat, and the exercise alone cost one hundred and forty fast spirit stones, and more than half of the two hundred and ten spirit stones sold for medicine today went out at once.
Half a day later, in Liu Zhenfeng's "Welcome Xiaoyou to come again next time", Su Hang walked out of the gate of Jubaozhai, and did not react until he walked out of dozens of meters, he was still too young, and was fooled by Liu Zhenfeng, an old fox, not only bought the exercises, but also bought "Alchemy", and returned the Dan Dan prescription, a batch of low-level spirit grasses are called practice, a "low-level Five Elements Spells", not only the spirit stones for selling medicine are spent, but even the remaining seventy spirit stones before themselves are only forty.
After returning to the inn, after a hurried meal, he also packed a raw pork and brought it back to the room, and after confirming that the ban was closed, he called Xiaoqing out, and he had been worried about encountering accidents in the past few days, so Xiaoqing had been with him, and after feeding the cut pork to Xiaoqing, Su Hang took out "Alchemy".
Almost after a stick of incense, Su Hang's face turned black and put "Alchemy" into the storage bag, and sure enough, he was pitted by this old fox, this alchemy requires at least four layers of qi practice before he can start practicing, otherwise the spiritual power is not enough at all, and the fourth layer of qi training is only the threshold, and the aura can barely support consumption, and the success rate is miserable.
Su Hang felt that he could wait until his cultivation arrived to buy "Alchemy", but now he was fooled into buying it early but couldn't practice, and he also spent a lot of his already small spirit stones, and he lost blood!
Remembering that he had also bought a batch of low-grade elixirs, he didn't dare to delay for a long time, so he took out the elixir and planted it in a jade pendant, planting different kinds of medicinal materials separately to avoid causing elixir conflicts.
It seems that no matter what, cultivation is the most basic, why can't you do it without cultivation, I mentioned it in the middle of the conversation with Liu Zhenfeng before, the storage bag has such a large space, why can't you plant spirit grass and place spirit beasts, Liu Zhenfeng laughed, and felt that he was really just a hairy boy, and he didn't even understand this simple cultivation common sense, but he still carefully explained to Su Hang, the storage bag is a low-level storage magic weapon, basically everyone has it, but the space in the storage bag is in a static state, and there is no aura in it, Spirit animals cannot survive in storage bags.
However, there is a more advanced spirit beast bag, which is specially designed to carry spirit beasts, which can absorb spiritual energy and air to ensure that spirit beasts can survive inside, but it is absolutely impossible to plant spiritual grass, all the spiritual medicines are condensed heaven and earth essence, in addition to the need for spiritual energy, some special things are also needed to survive and grow, and if the spiritual medicine does not have good spiritual soil and spiritual water, the time required to grow into a material is not at all something that ordinary monks can wait for, only some sects will specially open up spiritual fields to plant herbs, Under normal circumstances, casual cultivation can only be collected from the wilderness and forests, and ordinary low-year elixirs are not rare, and there are still quite a lot of places full of spiritual energy, only the higher the age of the elixir is precious, and it will be occupied by demon beasts before being eaten when it breaks through.
After listening to Liu Zhenfeng's explanation, Su Hang realized that his jade pendant space was probably a treasure, and he was even more determined that he must not leak information about the jade pendant, and he must pay attention to hiding himself when selling elixirs in the future.
What worries Su Hang at the moment is that since this treasure is a treasure in cultivation, is the thief who slaughtered his own family also a person in cultivation? If so, you have to be more careful, you can't use the fake name Ren Ping'an registered in Yuxifang after you go out of Fang City, if the enemy in the shadows targets you according to your surname, I'm afraid you can't resist.
The top priority is to improve yourself as soon as possible, take out the grass pill and prepare to practice first, after Xiaoqing saw the grass pill taken out by Su Hang, he stared at the pill bottle motionless and spit out the letter, for Xiaoqing, who had saved him many times, Su Hang was not stingy, took out a pill and fed it to Xiaoqing, after Xiaoqing swallowed it, he slid off the bed and coiled on the ground in a circle to swallow the aura, which seemed to be cultivating.
Su Hang tried to check Xiaoqing's strength before, but he couldn't see through it, Xiaoqing's aura can only be felt when he is cultivating, if he can't usually see Xiaoqing with his eyes, otherwise he can't detect Xiaoqing in Su Hang's perception at all.
Seeing that Xiaoqing began to cultivate, Su Hang did not delay himself, and took out a grass and returned it to the pill again, and at the same time took out the "Nanming Gong" and began to practice "Nanming Gong", fortunately, the spiritual power cultivated in the previous "Qingyun Practicing Qi Decision" has no attributes, so it is quite easy to transform the exercises at this time, with the help of the power of the elixir, run the "Nanming Gong" to practice qi into the body, and slowly condense a trace of red aura, then drive this trace of spiritual power to circulate along the meridians, and gradually assimilate the previous spiritual power, and the assimilated spiritual power is pure with the family.
A week later, Su Hang, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes, a flash of red light, Su Hang let out a long breath, after a week of practice, he has completely transformed the spiritual power in his body into the spiritual power of "Nanming Gong", which is worthy of being one of the top exercises in the Qi training period, the previous spiritual power has been transformed and purified, and the spiritual power has decreased significantly, and he almost fell out of the second layer.
A total of nine pills re-stabilized the realm of Suzhou and Hangzhou, but now it is different from before, although the number of spiritual energy has not increased, but the spiritual power is more refined.
After casting the fireball technique he learned before, he easily condensed a fireball the size of a basin, exuding high temperature, Su Hang could feel that the consumption of spiritual power was much less when he cast the fireball technique now, and at this time, the power of the fireball technique was definitely three points stronger than the fireball charm, and it seemed that the bonus of "Nanming Gong" to the fire spell was also obvious.
Now the embarrassment is that the grass is gone, and you still need to go to buy the pill, at this moment Su Hang found out that this cultivation is not an immortal, it is wealth, no wonder everyone says that the cultivator of immortals, wealth, couples, law, and land are all not lost, why can wealth be ranked first, because there is no spirit stone is really difficult to move an inch in the world of cultivating immortals.
Knowing that the Xianlai Inn often buys some demon beast meat, Su Hang left a part for Xiaoqing and sold the giant turtle to the Xianlai Inn, this giant tortoise is only a first-order low-grade demon beast, corresponding to the early stage of qi training, in addition to the demon beast meat, only the turtle shell is worth a little spirit stone, and finally sold fifteen spirit stones.
In the short term, he plans to improve his cultivation, so he stayed at the Xianlai Inn, and from time to time he would go out of Fang City alone to stay in the mountains and forests for a day or two, sometimes hunting some first-order demon beasts, and honing his combat ability, mainly to take out the elixir for himself in exchange for the spirit stone as a disguise, otherwise he has been staying in the Fang City but can take out the elixir from time to time to sell, and a fool can guess that there is a problem.
Four months have passed, the Danxia Mountains are covered in silver, but the Yuxi Fang is still lively, the snowflakes are isolated by the big array, and the interior is still the same, for four months, Suzhou and Hangzhou have been living in the inn retreat practice, the wild is dazzling, Jubao Zhai trading immortal resources, three points and one line life.
"Whew, finally the fourth layer of Qi training!" Su Hang, who was meditating on the bed, exhaled a long breath, the harvest of these days was huge, not to say that his cultivation had reached the fourth level of Qi training, during which he often went to the Danxia Mountains to hunt demon beasts to hide people's eyes and ears, Su Hang also went to the Chen family's rune seal where Chen Nan's family was located to buy a few rune seals, and Chen Nan also had a small gathering twice to discuss the next practice, and at the same time asked Chen Nan's elders to help him identify a few unknown runes from the Netherworld's storage bag.
At that time, in addition to the five fireball talismans, there were also ten talismans, which were identified as three low-grade vine talismans, three flying stone talismans, one medium-grade ice arrow talisman, one medium-grade water shield talisman, and two medium-grade fire snake talismans. The power of the medium-grade rune seal is not comparable to the first-grade rune seal, and the power can be compared to a spell that is fully performed by the eighth layer of Qi training.
