"After the realm reaches the hundred refinements, the spirit yuan required for upgrading has directly come to 10,000."
"And the new skill is only the spirit element required to get started, and it is at least ten times more than the previous pig killing knife method and hunter archery technique."
Wang He knew in his heart that he would definitely need more and more spirit elements in the future.
What he has to do now is to obtain as many spirit elements as possible through several ways to obtain spirit elements.
At present, there are three ways: ordinary cultivation, killing cultivated beings, and refining elixir.
Since the introduction of the Hundred Refining Diagram, the spirit yuan he has obtained from cultivating in his spare time has also increased a lot, ranging from 1 to 5 spirit yuan each time.
In addition, in the past month, he has traveled around Phoenix Mountain whenever he has time, and he can often encounter resentful spirits comparable to Huajin, Danjin, and even Gangjin stages, each of which can bring 0.3 to 20 spirit yuan.
In this way, in addition to not obtaining new elixirs, he has accumulated a total of more than 1,600 spirit yuan, all of which have been converted into strength through the panel in the way of adding points based on the realm and supplemented by skills.
"I hope there are enough ghosts and ghosts in Phoenix Mountain." Wang He thought in his heart.
If he only improved through his usual cultivation, even if the aura and food in the Liao Zhai world were more sufficient, it would take him at least a year to complete the hundred refinements.
Of course, this speed is already fast.
A first-level martial artist like Liu Ren who has improved his genes with genetic potions has been cultivating in the Earth Star for ten years, but he has not yet completed a hundred refinements.
However, Wang He is not complacent, he is also a first-level martial artist now, he is considered a top master in Lincheng, but he is not considered in the entire Earth Star.
"And the merits have also run out." Wang He grabbed the arm-length short knife on the weapon rack next to him, and after a few simple slashes, a whistling sound sounded.
The style of the mountain opening knife with a straight back and a straight blade and an open tip is very suitable for common moves such as slashing and stabbing in the mountain opening knife technique.
This is the weapon he redeemed from the Starnet Meritorious Mall.
According to the level announced by the Earth Star Alliance, there are five types of weapons: non-stream, ordinary, top-notch, ultimate, and artifact.
This short knife is a weapon forged by mechanical technology, and it has reached the ordinary level, and the exchange price of the star network is 200 merits.
Wang He previously won 400 meritorious awards with a score of 46th in the apprenticeship trial.
Use 100 for the Hundred Refining Diagram and 200 for the Short Knife.
There are still 100 merits left, which he used to exchange for the first layer of the ordinary skill Wind Arrow, and there are three layers that require 900 merits to exchange.
But Wang He felt that it was enough to learn one layer.
He doesn't need any moves like killing two birds with one stone, multiple arrows in unison, and arrows raining down now, with all the bells and whistles.
As long as the arrow is accurate enough and far enough, it will be fine.
"Cultivate for half a day first, and then go to Phoenix Mountain when it gets dark."
Thinking of this, Wang He sometimes wondered if Phoenix Mountain was a ghost cave, how could so many resentful spirits gather.
He'd been brushing around there for a month, and he could still encounter a lot of resentful spirits every day, especially at night.
However, he always remembered what the fox demon Xin Lao Weng said, and he didn't venture into the mountains, just wandered around the periphery.
Subsequently, Wang He tempered his strength for a long time with his strength according to the training method of the Hundred Refining Diagram.
When it was dark, before he could go out, someone came to the door.
"Old fairy, you must save my father-in-law." A beautiful woman with a panicked and grieving look knelt on the ground when she entered the door, kowtowing constantly.
He was followed by a slightly wooden scholar, who also saluted Wang He respectfully.
"Who are you?" Wang He saw that the book looked a little similar to Wang Ziqing, and he had already guessed it.
"Concubine Chen, my father-in-law is the prince Qing in the east of Dingxiang City." The woman cried, "Fang Cai, Fang Cai, my husband was killed by a ghost, and he asked me to come to the gods for help before he died." ”
Ghosts?
Wang He was surprised, after this son-in-law came down from Li Mountain, didn't he say that he would no longer pursue the ghost fox?
Soon, under Chen's crying and crying narration, he learned the general situation of the matter, and also understood who Wang Ziqing was.
This matter should be the painted skin in the classic article of Liaozhai, and Wang Ziqing is Wang Sheng, who was disemboweled!
Wang Ziqing's experience first starts from half a month ago, when he went out early that morning and met a woman who was running alone with a burden.
When he saw that the woman was walking with difficulty, he kindly went up to inquire.
Then I saw that the woman was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was very beautiful, and she fell in love again.
After some talking, Wang Ziqing learned that the woman was sold to a wealthy family by a money-hungry family, and ran away from home because she couldn't stand the abuse of her eldest wife.
Wang Ziqing is also a romantic person, so he took the woman home and hid her in a secret room.
Later, he told his wife about the incident, and Chen suspected that the woman's origin was unknown, and persuaded him to send the person away, but he did not listen at all.
Until this morning, Wang Ziqing met a Taoist priest on the street, and the other party said that he was haunted by evil spirits and had encountered ghosts.
Although he didn't believe it, he kept an eye on it, and when he came home and peeked carefully, he found that the woman was indeed an evil ghost, and was painting on a human skin.
When the painting was finished, the demon threw the human skin over her body, and she became a beautiful woman.
"My father-in-law was going to come to the door to ask the old fairy for help, but he waited here for a long time and didn't see him, so he had to go to find the Taoist priest." Chen said again, after she said for a while, her panicked emotions calmed down a little, but she was still grief-stricken.
Wang He didn't speak, he happened to be patrolling the real-world Chunyu community this morning.
"But the Taoist priest said that the evil ghost finally found a stand-in, and he was also very pitiful, and he couldn't bear to hurt his life." Chen continued, "In the end, I gave my husband a whisk of dust, saying that hanging it outside the bedroom door would drive away the evil spirit.
As a result, at the first watch just now, the evil ghost in the painted skin stood outside the door for a long time before he gritted his teeth and left.
Xianggong and I thought that this was the end of the matter, but who knew that only a moment later, the evil ghost came back, and scolded the Taoist priest in his mouth to scare her, and he couldn't spit out the food he ate in his mouth.
Then she broke the dust outside the door, broke in, cut open my father-in-law's belly, and gouged out his heart. ”
Speaking of this, Chen seems to have experienced it again, becoming more fearful and sad.
"Old fairy, you must save my father-in-law, he is a good person." Chan couldn't stop crying.
Wang He didn't agree immediately, but was thinking about the problems in the whole thing.
At first, he didn't realize it when he watched Chatzhai, but now after listening to Chen's personal account, he found something strange.
That Taoist priest would actually sympathize with the painted skin ghost, and the dust whisk given to him didn't have any effect.
And the words of the painted skin demon are also very strange, like an acquaintance with a Taoist priest.
"Is it a bureau?" Wang He guessed.
According to the description in Liao Zhai's painting, after Wang Ziqing was disemboweled, Chen actually wanted to ask the Taoist priest for help.
Then the Taoist priest would go and collect the evil spirits, and then guide Chen to find a mad beggar in the bazaar to ask for a way to save his life.
In the end, Chan will be humiliated in public by the beggar and eat a mouthful of sputum spit.
When he gets home, Chen will spit out, and it will turn into a heart to save Wang Ziqing.
"There are too many coincidences, how could a beggar go to save Wang Ziqing for no reason, and it happens that spitting turns into a heart?"
"What kind of immortal trick should this be?"
Wang He decided to check it out.
He didn't know many people in the Liaozhai world, and Wang Ziqing was one of them.
And this boy usually treats him as an old immortal, and he can't do it without any expression.
It just so happens that you can also deal with a painted skin demon by the way and get a little spirit yuan.
