Chapter 352: Sending a Letter
Walking out of the mountain gate, Zhao Lin hiked to Yinfeng Valley and came to Baiyan Mountain, the old nest of bandits.
The spirit stones and spirit rice seized by the bandit Xiu Song Laosan last time didn't have time to take them away, and they were all hidden in the cave of this mountain.
Although to Zhao Lin, fifty catties of spirit rice and more than a hundred spirit stones are nothing, but these are all the results of risky fighting, and they cannot be abandoned.
Coming outside to walk this experience, Zhao Lin deeply realized the importance of cultivation resources.
It's still the same sentence, talent is not good, and the pill will make up.
Where does the elixir come from? Only Spirit Stones and Good Deeds can be exchanged.
Especially when he has a spiritual map, he is a monster that devours spirit stones.
Wow......
On the sparkling lake, Zhao Lin jumped out of the water like a big fish.
On the way back, he stumbled upon a lake deep in the forest.
The water of the lake is as clear as a mirror, and you can see the fish, aquatic plants and pebbles at the bottom of the water when you stand on the shore.
Zhao Lin thought that he hadn't yet cultivated the Water Resisting Technique, so he took out sixty-four spirit stones, absorbed the spiritual energy inside, and directly cultivated the Water Resisting Technique to the proficient level.
Then perform the water resistance technique and plunge into the lake.
The water control technique is indeed extraordinary, and the water-shaped circulation forms a closed large bubble, isolating Zhao Lin from the lake.
After practicing for a while, you can swim freely in the water like a fish, sneaking like a shuttle, and you will not feel the slightest resistance.
What's even more powerful is that the water resistance technique consumes very little spiritual energy, and Zhao Lin only consumes two percent of spiritual power after swimming for a quarter of an hour.
If it were replaced by other spells, the spiritual power would have been used up long ago.
When I returned to the shore, I didn't get a drop of water on my body.
"Looks like you've chosen the right spell! The next time you pick up a mission, choose a water-related mission. ”
"There is a threshold for this kind of task, and the competition is relatively less fierce."
Looking at the spiritual diagram inward, Zhao Lin's eyes flashed with satisfaction.
As he was interested, he took out the jade slip he carried and recorded the spells on it.
Rock Armor (Earth Walk): Mastery, upper limit mastery.
Ice Blade (Ice Walking): Mastery, the upper limit is perfect.
Flame Arrow (Fire Walk), Mastery, Upper Limit Perfection.
Trap (Windwalk): Mastery, Max Mastery.
Water Resistance (Water Walk): Mastery, upper limit mastery.
Qi Hope (Non-Genus): Mastery, the upper limit is complete.
Sky Blindness (no genus): not practiced yet, research will be determined.
……
"Shopkeeper, how much do you charge for these fifty catties of spiritual rice?"
Zhao Lin came to the bazaar in Qiuyang County, intending to dispose of the bandits' things and exchange them for spirit coins that were more convenient to carry.
"Oh, fellow Daoist, your spiritual rice is of different colors, it is a mixture of several kinds of rice, it's hard to decide."
The shopkeeper of the Ling rice shop grabbed a handful of rice and shouted in embarrassment.
"Make an offer, huh?"
Zhao Lin disagreed, the suspect was the buyer, and the other party said this just to reduce the price.
"One pound of new rice four yuan spirit coins, and one pound of Chen rice three yuan spirit coins. Daoyou's spiritual rice is almost half of each of the new Chen, and according to three yuan and five, a total of one hundred and seventy-five spirit coins. ”
The shopkeeper dealt with the rice all day and quickly quoted the total price.
"Deal!"
Zhao Lin happily agreed.
The price of Hanchi County Ling Rice is five yuan spirit coins, and the store can probably make two to three percent of the profit from the purchase, which is within an acceptable range.
In a while, he had to take a spirit boat to Shangyuan County, and he didn't want to waste time for a few spirit coins.
Walking out of the Lingmi shop, Zhao Lin sold the two dilapidated magic weapons of the bandits, the lock bag, and a few talismans that could not be used.
Only a concealment talisman, a pure heart talisman and a few bottles of elixir were left.
The source of the pill is unknown, and it should not have been kept, but Zhao Lin has a keen sense of smell, and he can judge the ingredients in it by the taste, so he doesn't have to worry about eating it.
The pharmacy may not be willing to accept it, and even if it does, it can't be sold at a price, so it simply takes it yourself.
All the items were sold for a total of more than 1,000 spirit coins, and Zhao Lin's net worth now exceeded 30,000, which was equivalent to more than 3,000 spirit stones.
It mainly comes from the more than 2,800 spirit stones obtained by completing the tasks of the sect, as well as the 500 spirit stones that are rewarded for capturing bandits.
After dealing with the bits and pieces at hand, Zhao Lin got on the spirit boat to Shangyuan County.
Shangyuan County is the transportation hub of Xiniu Prefecture, and only when you go to Shangyuan County first can you transfer to Sanshan County, which is where Li Yuanyou's family is located.
In fact, Zhao Lin had already reported Li Yuanyou's matter to Qiuyang County, and the sect would soon inform his family.
However, entrusted by people and loyal to people, Zhao Lin decided to go in person.
I am a first-hand witness, and it is also a beginning and an end to inform Li Yuanyou's family of this good news, or bad news.
"Lingzhou is gone?"
The Lingzhou from Shangyuan County to Sanshan County traveled every two hours, and when Zhao Lin arrived, the Lingzhou had just left, and he could only look at the sky and shake his head and sigh.
"Daoyou go to Sanshan County? There is a place on the coffin, fast and comfortable. ”
A middle-aged monk in a navy blue robe walked over and said with a smile as he pointed behind him.
Behind him, there was a small flying boat, less than two feet long.
When Zhao Lin came, he had seen this kind of flying boat called a spirit boat, and the price was much more expensive than the spirit boat, so he was shy at that time, so he was reluctant to take it.
"Don't wait, leave right away."
Seeing that Zhao Lin did not refuse, the middle-aged monk immediately added another sentence.
"How much?"
"One hundred and twenty spirit coins."
"Okay."
The price of the spirit boat is more than double that of the spirit boat, but it can save two hours of time, and Zhao Lin also wants to experience it, so he agrees.
There were already five monks sitting on the spirit boat, Zhao Lin paid the money to get on the boat, and found a vacant seat to sit down.
The middle-aged monk sat in the cockpit in front of the spirit boat, slapped his palm on the magic circle at the bow of the boat, and shouted, "Sit tight, start the boat!" ”
Driven by the aura of the wind, the spirit boat lightly rose into the air, quickly entered the cloud layer, and flew in the direction of Sanshan County.
Although the spirit boat is small, it is faster and flies more smoothly, and the ride experience is much stronger than that of the spirit boat.
Zhao Lin nodded secretly, thinking that if the means of transportation in his previous life were used as an analogy, the spirit boat would be equivalent to a passenger car, and the spirit boat would be equivalent to a car.
When we reached the boundary of Sanshan County, an extremely wide river appeared on the ground.
The river is mighty and the soup is flowing endlessly, and from time to time you can see the huge building ship sailing on it.
The spirit boat travels on the water, and the spirit stone consumed is far less than flying in the air, and the weight it carries is also larger, so the transportation of bulk goods is still mainly by waterway.
"What a majestic river!"
Zhao Lin couldn't help but admire.
"Of course, the Feituo River is the largest river in Xiniu Prefecture, and it can also rank in the top three in Chenghuazong."
Opposite, a monk who looked over forty years old and had a slight fortune said proudly.
"It turns out that this is the Feituo River, and it deserves its name!"
Zhao Lin observed the words and speculated that this person was a local monk in Sanshan County, so he started talking to him along the way.
"Hehe, the people of Sanshan County are outstanding people, and there have been many Jindan real people since ancient times."
The man heard that Zhao Lin had come to visit a friend, and enthusiastically introduced the local specialties and the scenery worth visiting.
By the time he got off the ship, Zhao Lin already had a general understanding of Sanshan County.
"Fellow Daoist, how much did you buy this spirit boat?"
Before leaving, Zhao Lin asked Monk Caozhou.
If you also have such a spirit boat, it will be much more convenient to travel, and you can stop as you go, without time and geographical restrictions.
"That's the number."
The Monk held out a palm.
"Fifty thousand?"
"There is still a zero, fifty-two thousand."
Zhao Lin grinned secretly and immediately dispelled the idea of buying.
More than 5,000 spirit stones are not something that he can afford, and the flight of the spirit boat also consumes spirit stones, which is another expense.
Let's talk about it later!
Leaving the boat station, we walked briskly towards Sanshan County......
Located in the southwest of Xiniu Prefecture, Sanshan County is the second largest county in Xiniu Prefecture, with a long history, and it has been more than 10,000 years since the county was opened.
In the afternoon, Zhao Lin came to a mansion in Sanshan County.
"Lee's Mansion."
Looking at the two words on the plaque, Zhao Lin whispered softly, "This is it." ”
When he came to the county, Zhao Lin did not rush to deliver the letter, but asked someone nearby to inquire about the Li family's reputation, and only came to the door after finding out the situation.
The Li family is indeed a family of cultivators, and they are well-known in the local area.
The formation of the Xiuxian family was born along with the development and growth of the sect.
There is only one mortal with a spiritual root, but if a monk is combined with a mortal, the chance of giving birth to a descendant with a spiritual root will be greatly increased.
Further, if both parents are monks, then the probability that a child has a spiritual root is at least 30%.
It is not surprising that it has been passed down from generation to generation, evolving into mortal-like families.
However, according to the established rules, to be called a cultivator family, two conditions must usually be met.
First, the family has at least one mid-foundation monk. If there are only monks in the early stage of foundation building, or if there are no foundation building monks, no matter how large the number is, it cannot be called a family.
Second, there are at least three generations of monks in the family, with more than ten people.
According to the information inquired, the Li family has two foundation building monks, five generations in the same house, more than 100 monks, barely into the middle family.
Li Chenglin, the head of the family, has three sons and two daughters, the eldest son Li Yuanyou and the second daughter Li Zhen have a talent for cultivation.
"Who is coming, and what are you doing?"
There were two mortal guards standing in front of the door, and one of them asked.
Most mortals are willing to live in the county with abundant spiritual energy, and the Xiuxian family also needs mortals to take care of their daily lives and take care of mundane affairs.
Therefore, the immortal cultivation family used good deeds to exchange with the sect for the qualification of mortals to enter the county, thus forming a situation where immortals and mortals lived together.
"I have something important to find Mansion Master Li and help inform me."
Zhao Lin said unhurriedly.
At that moment, the door opened, and an elderly monk came out.
"The old man is the housekeeper of this mansion, and the Taoist friend is looking for our family master?"
The old monk glanced at Zhao Lin and asked.
"Exactly."
Zhao Lin replied.
The old man saw that he was over sixty years old, and his cultivation was only at the fourth level of qi refining, and Zhao Lin secretly guessed that this person should be a mortal spirit root cultivator.
"What do you call a friend? Where did it come from? The head of the family also had an explanation when asked. ”
"Zhao Lin, from Qiuyang County."
"Fellow Daoist, wait a minute, I'll go and inform the family master."
The old man arched his hand, turned around and walked towards the mansion.
In the main hall, Li Chenglin, the head of the Li family, sat opposite a young man in white.
There are two cups of spiritual tea on the coffee table, exuding a fragrant atmosphere.
"Uncle Li, you also know that I have a deep affection for my real sister. But every time I mentioned to her about becoming a Taoist couple, I always refused without hesitation. ”
The young man in white took a sip of tea and said with a bitter face.
"Virtuous nephew, your old man already knows your intentions. It's just that Zhen'er is dedicated to cultivating the Tao and doesn't want to get married and have children too early, and the old man doesn't listen to her persuasion, it's my old wife who spoils her! ”
Li Chenglin shook his head, looking embarrassed.
"Uncle Shi, this is a little bit of my nephew's heart, please accept it."
The young man in white presented an ancient sandalwood box and said respectfully.
"Oh?"
Li Chenglin took the wooden box, opened it, and saw that there was a pale green pill in the box, exuding a strong wooden atmosphere.
"Mu Yuandan, okay! Taking Mu Yuan Dan can improve the ability to sense Mu Xing's aura, and practicing Mu Xing spells will get twice the result with half the effort. ”
Li Chenglin said yes, but his face was still indifferent.
The young man in white knew that he had not impressed the other party, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi, in fact, I still have a Zhengyang Dan in my family, if my real sister is willing to marry, I am willing to take Zhengyang Dan as an appointment." ”
"Zhengyang Dan!"
Li Chenglin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he rubbed his hand on the teacup.
Zhengyang Pill is one of the important pills in the middle and late impact stages of foundation building, Li Chenglin has been thirsting for it for a long time, and the conditions prescribed by the young man in white just scratched his itch.
Li Chenglin raised his hand, stroked his beard and said, "Nephew Tao Xian, in fact, the old man has always recognized your family background. Looking at Sanshan County, among the juniors of the same age, only you can be worthy of a little girl. ”
The young man in white had a smile on his face, "That real girl's thing ......"
"When a woman gets married, how can she be by her own temperament? When she comes back next month, the old man will tell her! ”
"Thank you, uncle."
While the two were talking, the housekeeper walked in and saluted, "Master of the house, someone has come to visit, saying that he has something important to do with you." ”
Li Chenglin's expression changed and asked, "What's your name and where does it come from?" ”
"He said that his surname was Zhao, and he was from Qiuyang County."
Hearing the three words of Qiuyang County, the young man in white frowned, but he quickly returned to his original state.
"Akiyang-gun? We have nothing to do with that side. ”
Li Chenglin looked puzzled and asked, "What kind of cultivation do you have to come?" ”
The butler replied, "The third layer of gas refining." ”
Li Chenglin sighed slightly and said, "Let him come in and wait in the front hall." ”
The mansion is generally divided into two halls, the front hall for ordinary guests, and the main hall for guests with close relationships or high status.
Zhao Lin's cultivation was only three layers of qi refining, and it was naturally arranged in the front hall.
The young man in white rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, you are the head of the family, the predecessor of the foundation, and it is inevitable that you will lose your identity when you meet a junior who doesn't know the details. ”
"Why don't I go with you, I'll help you ask if you have anything to say."
Li Chenglin raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart, What does the matter of the Li family have to do with you? However, I just received a gift from the other party, and the person I met was not an important person, so I nodded and agreed.
Zhao Lin waited in front of the mansion for a while, and the housekeeper quickly turned around and led him to the front hall.
"The head of the family is meeting guests, please wait a while."
"The butler is gracious."
Zhao Lin sat down, and immediately a good-looking maid offered fragrant tea.
After a while, footsteps sounded, and two monks walked into the hall. (End of chapter)
