Chapter Twenty-Three: Refining III
Cultivation returns to normal steps, and every day still nourishes the spirit, cultivates spiritual patterns, expands the meridians, and refines the spiritual fluid. With the help of the spiritual liquid, Qin Jie's strength soared at an astonishing speed.
A few days later, he broke through again, and the fifth vein of the eight veins of the Qi Sutra was penetrated with the belt veins, and his cultivation entered the middle stage of the refining realm.
Qin Jue devoted himself to cultivation, and when Jizo had nothing to do, he would occasionally go out to inquire about the news in the city.
The originally peaceful and fulfilling cultivation life was interrupted by a message brought back by Jizo.
"The City Lord's Mansion has summoned a large number of monks to go to Sunset Canyon to collect evergreen grass?"
"Yes, notices have been posted at the entrance of the temple and in the central square. Jizo nodded in reply.
"And I also heard rumors among the monks that the reason why the City Lord's Mansion made such a big move this time was because one of the Supreme Elders of the Tianyuan Sect, Shou Yuan, was approaching, and he collected the Immortal Grass in order to renew his life. ”
It was probably during these days that Jizo had nothing to do every day, and he was so bored that he wanted to go out for activities, and after speaking, he saw that Gongzi was still pondering, and then said: "In order to motivate the monks to participate in this activity, the City Lord's Mansion will convert and contribute points according to the value of the spiritual grass provided by the monks, and the monks can use the points to exchange for various cultivation materials. In addition, there are additional major rewards for the monks who rank high in points. ”
Tian Yuan Sect is located in a place of splendid mountains and rivers on the east side of Tian Yuan City, and is the largest force in Nanyang County. Even the king of Nanyang County relies on it to support, and this is undoubtedly the actual holder of the highest power in Nanyang County.
Qin Jue still knew these basic information, and it was no wonder that the Antarctic City City Lord's Mansion was so active. For a behemoth like Tian Yuan Sect, the Antarctic City City Lord's Mansion was nothing at all, and it was an extremely simple matter to erase or replace it.
"Since there are benefits to be gained, or we ,,,"
Before Qin Jue's words were finished, the stunned Jizo nodded hurriedly and repeatedly. Don't forget to pat the sycophants and say: "The son is wise." ”
"Okay, that's it, let's get ready and go. However, this matter mainly depends on you?" Qin Jue said with a smile.
"Childe, don't worry, looking for spiritual things, I am absolutely reliable. Jizo patted his chest and said affirmatively.
At present, Qin Jue is already connected to the five veins, and the sixth vein has also reached the bottleneck of breakthrough. With the help of the earth's spiritual fluid, cultivation and improvement are not a problem at all. However, it is not good to advance too quickly, he needs to go to the wilderness to fight a few battles, and become familiar with the power and stability of the realm he controls now.
The last time I encountered a dangerous scene is still fresh in my memory, and this time I naturally want to keep Xiao Ning at home. Moreover, the location of Sunset Canyon already belongs to the scope of the Great Wilderness, where you may encounter desolate beasts anytime and anywhere, and ordinary monks dare not go deeper, otherwise the City Lord's Mansion will not go to great lengths to call on monks to gather there.
The two said to prepare, but in fact, there was nothing to prepare. In the Great Wilderness, as long as it is not a Jedi, the availability of food is basically not a problem. How to survive in the Great Wilderness is a basic lesson that all cultivators must learn.
Qin Jue was especially attentive when learning these knowledge, these are all things that can save lives at critical times, what is more important than saving lives. Although many people do not agree with this on this point of recognition. So, when he tried hard to learn these things, he was ridiculed by many other students of the Taoist Academy.
Everyone believes that the most important thing is to strive to improve one's cultivation realm. As long as the strength is strong, all problems will not be a problem.
Rent a carriage in the city, give a command, and the coachman will naturally recognize the road. Whip the car out of the city gate and set off all the way to the destination.
After a day and a night of traveling, passing through several small towns, you will be greeted by the edge of the southern wilderness with ancient trees and mountain peaks.
"Guest officer, I can only send the two of you here. ”
The driver said, took the money from Jizo, and drove back. Only Qin Jue and Jizo were left standing on the edge of the avenue.
Along the way, they found that a number of monks had already driven ahead of them. Some of the family forces even came in groups, even bringing tent supplies and some tools for hunting wild beasts.
"Let's go in quickly, the month has passed, three days have passed, and many people have already started early. ”
"Hmm!" Jizo replied, and the two of them strode towards the entrance to Sunset Canyon.
After a while, the two came to an entrance to the canyon.
A place that is rarely visited on weekdays is like a busy city at this time.
Many monks are entering the canyon one after another, and some loose cultivators and forces are recruiting people. There are also some merchants who have taken the opportunity to do business here.
"Hey, Childe, do you want to take a look at the items here? Our family is a good thing for self-defense hunting, honest management, quality and quantity. ”
A vendor stretched out his hand to block Qin Jue and said with a smile.
Qin Jue lowered his head and browsed through the stall, reaching out to pick up a crossbow made of stainless steel and looking at it carefully. Then, the upper winding tried it, and the strength was acceptable, and it should be a threat to the monks of the Body Refining Realm. If it is used against the beast, it is not much of a threat unless it hits the vital point.
Because even the tenacity of the body of a low-level desolate beast is far beyond that of a body refining realm cultivator. This kind of crossbow is shot on the body, that is, it hurts the fur, and cannot penetrate too deep into the body.
The stall owner had not opened since the morning, and he was in a hurry to stop people and solicit customers. Seeing that Qin Jue didn't seem to be very satisfied with the goods, his eyes turned mysteriously closer, and he whispered: "If Childe is not satisfied with this, I still have really good things here." ”
"Oh, what is it, bring it to me and see. "Qin Jue didn't expect any amazing items on such a stall. Just looking at the mysterious appearance of the stall owner, I couldn't help but be aroused.
"Childe, please take a look. The stall owner took out a more delicate and much smaller crossbow from under the spread cloth and handed it to Qin Jie.
Qin Jue held it in his hand and watched, but this crossbow was much stronger than the ones placed in the stall. Not only is the workmanship more exquisite, but the power is also more than doubled.
The stall owner seemed to be afraid of attracting the attention of others, and whispered while looking left and right. "This kind of crossbow is a forbidden item, it can't be bought on the market, it was built by the Li family of Tianyuan City, and only the monk guards guarding the city are equipped with a small amount, and I am the only one here. ”
"If Childe wants it, just give this number. The stall owner drew a hundred crystals.
Qin Jue did not hesitate, and directly put away the crossbow and paid the crystal coins to the place.
Neither party to such a transaction wants to procrastinate, so they simply settle the payment for the goods.
Although the price of 100 crystals is not cheap, this crossbow is definitely worth this price.
Then Qin Jue took five short arrows for crossbows at the stall, which were considered gifts.
After the transaction was completed, Qin Jue took Jizo and traveled to the valley.
"Stop!"
Just as we were walking to the mouth of the valley, a low cry sounded from the side. When he turned his head, he saw two monks sitting on wooden chairs, and in front of them was a wooden table with a registration notebook on the table. Behind the two of them was a makeshift camp and two columns of armor.
Qin Jue thought that Fang Cai's transaction had been discovered, but he didn't want a monk to say lightly, "Bring these items with you, it will help you move around the valley." In addition, after obtaining the spirit grass, you can come here to hand in the registration. ”
Pick up the items that the other party has placed on the table and look at it, there is a simple map of the perimeter of Sunset Canyon, and a signal canister for alarm.
Collect the items, and secretly praise the city lord's mansion in his heart for such an arrangement.
With so many monks gathering in the valley, it is inevitable that some people will kill people and sell goods. Although this signal canister may not necessarily prohibit this from happening, it can have some deterrent effect.
Otherwise, once the battle in the valley is fierce and turns into a big fight, it will not be conducive to collecting spirit grass.
