Chapter 42 The Cave of the Yin Spirit
"The three tasks you mentioned really don't have a limit on cultivation, but these tasks are all as long as men, and they take a long time, and it takes ten or eight years to complete the task at every turn, in that case, how can there be time to cultivate, and if we can't cultivate the seventh layer of the Naling Period within ten years, we will be driven out of the outer gate cultivation area. Qiu Miaoxue is not stupid, after reading the content on the jade slip, she saw the key to the problem at a glance, and said with some grievances.
"Yes, Brother Lu, these tasks are indeed a little too difficult for us now, is there any task that is more suitable for us. Qin Xin also nodded and said.
"In this way, there is only one last task, the reward of the spirit stone of this task depends on your luck, and the time is not long, and there is no limit to mana, however, this task is not for women, and you have to take some risks, Qin Xin, do you want to take a look?" Lu Feng did not look at Qiu Miaoxue, but stared directly at Qin Xin and said, all this was expected by him.
"Brother Lu, if that's the case, I'm willing to give it a try, what kind of task is it?" Qin Xin couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Hehe, see for yourself. Lu Feng chuckled lightly, threw out another jade slip, then stopped talking, and began to slowly taste tea again, he knew that Qin Xin would definitely take on this task.
Qin Xin saw Lu Feng's expression, and he didn't know why his heart trembled inexplicably, but he didn't think much about it, picked up the jade slip, sank his divine sense into it, and began to "see" seriously.
This time, Qin Xin looked at it for a while before taking it down, and then fell into deep thought, Qiu Miaoxue waited for Qin Xin to finish "looking", and then took the jade slip from his hand and "looked" it.
It turned out that this mission was about a few thousand miles away from the Phantom Palace, and there was a place called the Yin Spirit Cave, and no one knew how many layers there were in the Yin Spirit Cave, but Yin Blood Crystals and Blood Crystal Flowers could be found in the cave.
The market price of each Yin Blood Crystal is thirty spirit stones, and the blood crystal flower is different according to its quality, and the price is also different, generally ranging from one hundred to one thousand spirit stones.
"This task is really good, Brother Lu, I want to ......" Qin Xin was a little tempted when he saw that a Yin Blood Crystal could sell so many spirit stones after reading Yu Jian.
He was just about to open his mouth to agree to take on this task, but when he raised his head, he saw a hint of a dark smile on Lu Feng's face that was not easy for ordinary people to detect...... Think about it, will I get back to you in two days?
"Alright then, you have to give me an answer sooner, the next group of people who will go to the Yin Spirit Cave will be leaving soon. Lu Feng frowned, this task was specially prepared for Qin Xin, he looked at Qin Xin's expression just now, it was clear that he wanted to agree, but why did he open his mouth and think about it.
After Qin Xin sent Qiu Miaoxue back to her own house, she returned to her residence, and after thinking for a long time, she didn't understand what Uncle Lu's meaningful smile meant, how could she feel like she had been calculated, could it be that she was a villain, and she was in the belly of a gentleman?
Since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about it anymore, as for whether to go to the Yin Spirit Cave or not, he could only ask Liu Pan tomorrow.
After settling down, he was ready to continue absorbing aura, and before starting, he took out the Na Ling Pill issued by the mountain gate, which was said to help low-level disciples absorb aura.
However, my mother said that low-grade pills contain impurities, and the impurities should be expelled from the body as soon as possible after taking them, otherwise these impurities will have an impact on the absorption of aura.
His spiritual root qualifications are already poor, if he takes this low-level Naling Pill, will it have other effects on his absorption of spiritual energy?
He wasn't sure, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still put away the pill and didn't take it.
Anyway, there was nothing to do at this time, and he began to absorb the aura step by step.
No matter how much effect there is, he can only keep practicing, just like when he practiced martial arts when he was a child, his father said that God rewards hard work, and where there is a will, there is a way.
He absorbed the aura over and over again, but the effect was almost minimal, and when he practiced again until he had no strength, he lay on the bed and fell asleep unconsciously.
Because he had something in his heart, he didn't sleep deeply, and when he got up early the next morning, he remembered that Liu Pan told him that he lived in room 6 in courtyard 34, so Qin Xin went to find Liu Pan as soon as he washed up.
At this time, Liu Pan had already gotten up, he had the habit of getting up early to meditate, he was meditating, and when he heard someone shouting to him outside, he let go of the ban and greeted him.
"Senior Brother Qin, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, presumably Senior Brother Qin is in some trouble, right?" Liu Pan saw Qin Xin smile, pointed to the stone table and chair in the courtyard, made a posture to sit down, and said.
"Senior Brother Liu is right, Senior Brother has indeed encountered some problems, and I have come to ask Senior Brother for advice, but I don't know if I want to ask Senior Brother questions, do I want to collect spirit stones?"
"Hahaha...... When I picked up my junior brother, my junior brother was still a bold person, how could I be such a mother-in-law after only two days, besides, I am not a deacon, you ask me questions, if I know, I will answer, if I don't know, I will tell you that I don't know, and what spirit stones are charged. Liu Pan smiled heartily, he knew that Qin Xin must have been struggling for the past two days to say such a thing.
"Then Senior Brother has thanked Senior Brother Liu here first. Qin Xin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, this was the only person he knew here, if he couldn't answer his questions, he really didn't know what to do.
"Don't worry, just ask any questions you have. Wait, this is not the place to talk, and there are some little secrets in my house, so I won't invite my junior brother to go in and talk about it, there is a bamboo forest behind this yard, it's quieter, let's go there and talk about it. Liu Pan looked at the doors of the other rooms, suddenly waved his hand and said softly.
Qin Xin naturally had no opinion, and followed Liu Pan to the bamboo forest behind the courtyard, there was really no one here, and there was a faint smell of earth and bamboo, which made people smell refreshed.
"Senior Brother Qin, if you have any questions, just ask. Liu Pan looked around and said with a smile.
"I want to take a task, which is to go to the Yin Spirit Cave to collect Yin Blood Crystals, I don't know if there is any problem?" Qin Xin didn't say anything more, and asked directly.
"What?Yin Spirit Cave?Senior Brother Qin, aren't you crazy?That is the tomb of a low-level monk's task, even some disciples with mana power dare not take on this task, not to mention that you are a person without mana. Liu Pan looked at Qin Xin in surprise, and he could see at a glance that Qin Xin had not yet cultivated the slightest mana.
"What does this mean?" Qin Xin asked with a puzzled expression on Liu Pan's face.
"The Yin Spirit Cave is not something that ordinary monks are willing to go to...... Liu Pan said after thinking about it.
It turns out that this Yin Spirit Cave, as the name suggests, is full of Yin Qi, and the Yin Qi inside has a great impact on the monk's divine consciousness and mana.
Moreover, there are some Yin Spirit ghosts on the first layer of the Yin Spirit Cave, some of these ghosts are only equivalent to the cultivation of the first and second layers of the Naling Period, but some are equivalent to the tenth-layer monks of the Naling Period, which is very difficult.
Moreover, ordinary monks can't stay in it for a long time, and even if they are successful in cultivation, staying in it for a long time will have an impact on their cultivation.
At the beginning, this task was indeed very sought-after, because the chance of encountering Yin Spirit Ghosts on the first layer was still very small, and the chance of being able to harvest Yin Blood Crystals and Blood Crystal Flowers was still very large, but after so many years, the Yin Blood Crystals on the first layer were almost finished, so I could only go to the second layer.
Not only is the yin qi of the second layer much thicker than the first layer, but the probability of encountering yin spirit ghosts inside is also relatively greater, and the yin spirit ghosts in the second layer are even more powerful than the monks of the Rong Yuan period, as long as the low-level disciples can't escape, they will definitely die.
Another point is that this Yin Spirit Cave does not belong to any of the four major immortal cultivation sects, and the monks who come here are also varied, so killing people and grabbing treasures there is also commonplace.
Therefore, there are basically few low-level disciples willing to go to this task now, because there is a large need for Yin Blood Crystals in the Mountain Gate, so now the conditions for taking the task have also been relaxed, and there is no need to hand in the spirit stones, nor do you need to hand in the Yin Blood Crystals, anyway, the Yin Blood Crystals you collect are not sold to the Fang Market, and they will be purchased by the Mountain Gate in the end.
"So I advise my junior brother not to think about this task for the time being. After Liu Pan finished explaining, he said solemnly, and put on an expression that if you really went, you would die.
"What is the use of these Yin Blood Crystals and Blood Crystal Flowers?" Qin Xin asked puzzled.
"Yin blood crystals have two main uses, one is the yin and cold attribute of yin blood crystals, which can bless some yin spirit qi to some cold magic weapons, so that magic weapons can increase the power of yin and cold attributes, and even the best blood crystal flowers can also make magic weapons upgrade.
There is also a use, that is, the most common use in the mountain gate now, alchemists can use Yin blood crystals or blood crystal flowers to purify the impurities in the pills, if you want to refine the pills above the middle grade, you must use the Yin blood crystals for purification, if you want to refine the pills above the top grade, you have to use high-quality blood crystal flowers. Liu Pan patiently explained.
"No wonder the price is so high. Is that layer really a Yin Blood Crystal that can't be harvested?" Qin Xin pondered for a moment before asking.
"That's not necessarily, the first layer is very big, and no one knows how big it is, so there must be some Yin blood crystals that haven't been discovered, but it has to be lucky, I think if you really want to go, it's better to wait for your cultivation to improve a little bit." Liu Pan saw his tempted appearance, so he kindly persuaded him.
