Early in the morning, Xiao An finished meditating, picked up the spirit gathering array disk in front of him and took a look, the color of the spirit stone inlaid on it was already very dim, and it seemed that it would take less than two days to change the spirit stone.

Xiao An smiled bitterly, since the thunder beads condensed in his body, the demand for spiritual energy has become greater and greater, and these spirit stones have only been replaced for more than ten days.

"Is Brother Xiao there?" was when Xiao An sighed, he heard someone outside shouting to him.

It turned out to be Chen Yang, who lived next door, and this person was a disciple of Xiao An who entered the sect at the same time. Both of them are majoring in talisman making, and they usually communicate a lot, and they can be regarded as like-minded friends.

"Brother Xiao, hurry up and follow me. After seeing Xiao An come out, Chen Yang pulled Xiao An up and left.

"Brother Chen, where are you going?" Seeing Chen Yang's very anxious look, Xiao An was a little puzzled, Chen Yang is usually quite steady, what happened today.

"Let's hurry up to Pepsi Hall to pick up the task, if it's too late, there will be no more. After listening to Chen Yang's reply, Xiao Anxin was even more confused.

In the past, Chen Yang went to Zheng Qian to pick up tasks, why did he go to Pestry Pavilion Pepsido today?

After a while, Xiao An understood what was going on.

It turned out that next month, the sect arranged Zhao Ge, who was the best at making talismans, to mainly explain the production skills of the six-layer talisman for refining qi, but the outer disciples who participated in this explanation needed to pay thirty contribution points.

After hearing this news, Xiao An was also very happy, as soon as he reached the sixth layer of qi refining, the sect was going to arrange someone to explain the skills of making the sixth-layer talisman of qi refining, which was really someone who gave him a pillow just after dozing off.

Each level of the spell in the talisman increases the number of steps that can be made much more cumbersome, and these changes must be taught. And as the level of the talisman increases, the more contribution points the disciples need to pay. Therefore, for the sake of these contribution points, the disciples also have to take on the task desperately.

Although the other disciples had been promoted to the sixth layer of qi refining more than a year earlier than Xiao An, the power of the fifth-layer qi refining talisman made by these people could not meet the requirements of the sect for a long time. It wasn't until last month's talisman task that the sect confirmed that most of the outer disciples who focused on talisman making had reached the standard, and then they were ready to explain the production method of the six-layer talisman for refining qi.

And Chen Yang is because of the lack of contribution value, and plans to take on another task to make up the contribution value needed for next month's lecture.

The contribution value can be regarded as the most important thing for the disciples, and its importance has surpassed that of the spirit stone. At this time, not only Chen Yang, but almost all the outer disciples who focused on talisman making were busy due to the lack of contribution value.

Because there are many ways for monks to obtain spirit stones, not only can they obtain them from the sect, but they can also earn spirit stones outside the sect, or even borrow them from others. However, the contribution value can only be accumulated by the tasks that you usually take, and there is no such thing as transfer at all.

Although the disciples usually get a certain amount of contribution value when they receive tasks, there are also many places where the contribution value is consumed.

Every once in a while, the sect will hold similar explanations for outer disciples and sect disciples, and participating in such explanations requires contribution points. In addition, buying items from the sect not only requires spirit stones, but also consumes a certain amount of contribution points.

Fortunately, Xiao An has more spirit stones, and many items are purchased from the mountain, and they can also save some contribution points. Even so, Xiao An found that he only had twenty-eight contribution points, and he was still two contribution points short, so it seemed that he had to take on a task.

......

After returning to the residence, Xiao An took out the storage bag, and suddenly there were ten more palm-sized iron billets on the floor of the house, each of which was square and weighed exactly thirty catties.

These iron billets are the task that Xiao An received this afternoon, quenching 300 catties of refined iron.

These iron billets are all refined iron extracted from ore, and have been refined many times, but there are still some impurities in the refined iron that cannot be removed, and they can only be quenched by monks with their own spiritual power to remove these impurities.

Xiao An left a piece of fine iron, and the rest was put into the space bead.

After cleaning up, Xiao An put his hand on the fine iron, and entered his spiritual power into the fine iron to start slowly refining the refined iron. An hour later, Xiao An suddenly stopped refining and put the fine iron in his hand into the storage bag.

After a few brief movements, Xiao An felt that his tired sanity had recovered, so he sat cross-legged on the ground again and began to run the Heavenly Thunder Condensation Technique.

At this time, Xiao An's dantian has been dozens of times larger than when refining qi on the fourth floor, and the three "Dinghai" that were originally located at the edge of the dantian have now been located near the center of the dantian after the expansion of the dantian, and it seems to be growing in the center of the dantian from a distance.

And the "clouds" that represent the spiritual power of the three attributes of gold, wood, and fire are not so thin in the expanded dantian, and at this time, these three light clouds of different colors are each shrouded in a "Dinghai".

I saw countless subtle spiritual powers detach from the light clouds and disappear into the Dinghai. After a while, a light purple filament gradually grew from the three-color filaments that make up Dinghai. As time passes, there are more and more lilac filaments.

When these three light clouds are almost exhausted, the number of lilac filaments is less than one-tenth of that of other colored filaments.

Seeing that the spiritual power in his body was almost exhausted, Xiao An stopped the cultivation of the "Heavenly Thunder Condensation Technique" in time, and immediately activated the Spirit Gathering Array Disk and began to cultivate the "Thousand Hammer Forging Body Secret Method".

Xiao An found that the more the spiritual energy in his body was consumed, the more obvious the progress of cultivating the Thousand Hammer Forging Body Secret Method. Therefore, Xiao An often consumed his spiritual power to a very low limit before he began to meditate and recover.

At this time, Chen Yang next door was also quenching refined iron, and unlike Xiao An, each piece of refined iron took much longer to quench.

It turned out that when the two of them rushed to Pepsido, they found that the bulletin board was empty. In desperation, the two of them could only go to the Pavilion of Weapons and received a task of refining materials from there, which did not require knowledge of refining materials.

In the next few days, Xiao An has been in this state of ascetic cultivation of refining refined iron, cultivating the "Heavenly Thunder Condensation Technique" and the "Thousand Hammer Forging Body Secret Method", and the difference from the first day is that whenever Xiao An finishes refining the refined iron, he always has to take out the refined iron in the space bead and compare it.

It wasn't until the fifth day that Xiao An quenched the piece of refined iron in his hand to the extreme. And ten days later, Xiao An also took out the refined iron in the space bead, and the degree of refining of these refined iron was exactly the same as the one in Xiao An's hand.

More than ten days later, Xiao An and Chen Yang went together to return the task of quenching refined iron.

"Brother Chen, you're trying too hard. Xiao An saw Chen Yang's tired look and knew that the other party had gritted his teeth and completed two tasks in the past twenty days.

Doing so must have compressed the time for cultivating the exercises, which means that the other party's current cultivation has not only not improved compared to twenty days ago, but has regressed a bit.

Chen Yang smiled bitterly, and was about to speak, but found that Xiao An's face instantly turned pale: "Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Yang hurried to help Xiao An, but as soon as he touched Xiao An's arm, Chen Yang's hands immediately lost sensation.

"Brother Chen, I'm in a hurry, let's go first. After Xiao An finished speaking, he hurriedly used his light body technique to rush to his residence.

Chen Yang gritted his teeth and shook his hands vigorously, only to feel that his hands were slowly regaining consciousness, how could he feel like he had been struck by lightning just now?

At this time, Xiao An was anxious, feeling that the usual speed of the light body technique was now as slow as an ant, and when Xiao An rushed to his residence, his entire back was no longer conscious.
