117. Collusion
Lingmi, although it is not a commercial magic weapon, but the currency bought and sold is also a spirit stone, the reason is because they can only grow in an environment with abundant spiritual energy, and the current environment can naturally meet its limited environment, but it is one of the few things that can increase spiritual power by credit alone and has no side effects, plus it contains very few impurities, so if you can eat it for the primary spiritual practice, it can significantly increase the speed of cultivation;
Of course, for high-level spiritual cultivators, the amount of spiritual power they need is more, and the effect of Lingmi will become minimal, but when it comes to their realm, there are not many things that can improve themselves, and the spiritual power provided by Lingmi is stronger than nothing.
In short, it is almost a necessity of all spirituality, and it is almost always in a state of insufficiency.
Faced with the situation of little growth environment and high demand, the use of spirit stones to lay down the magic circle to create the environment for the growth of spirit rice has become the mainstream, but no matter which method it is, its own growth can be said to consume spirit stones, and it is natural to trade spirit stones after growth.
Xu Mo asked when he bought the formation book, it is not expensive to calculate the price of spirit stones, one spirit stone is a catty, but looking at this robbery trio, the scholar as the leader only has nine pieces, and the remaining two are only two pieces per person, which shows the rarity of spirit stones, so there are two bags of almost twenty catties of spirit rice in the scholar's bag, which is really a big deal!
Of course, it's all cheap for him now.
Xu Mo pinched a grain of spiritual rice and put it in front of his eyes to observe, and found that in addition to being extraordinarily full, the shape was also incomparably round and regular, put it in his mouth and bit it, the hardness was too large at first, and after biting it, it not only had the sweetness of rice, but also the freshness of the forest full of life after the rain, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and simply took out the pot and boiled it, ready to taste it.
After he took out the lingmi, the little mouse with big ears and sharp nose spun around in a crazy circle in the cage, and its mouth squeaked eagerly.
Xu Mo ignored it, afraid that it would eat smoothly and it would not be easy to feed it in the future, but inexplicably thinking of Xiao Hei who was fostered by Feng Xiafei, his heart softened, thinking about how much it could eat with its small belly, so he took out a dozen grains and put them in the cage......
Stunned, he couldn't help but have a bad association, MD, its habit won't be to feed on spiritual rice, right?
When he was "picking up" the harvest, he felt that it had a tracking function, so he took it back and asked the remaining two robbers, its original owner seemed to have just fed it all kinds of meat, and did he want to eat Lingmi?
sighed slightly, but just eat, as long as you don't eat too much, eating every other day can be regarded as improving the food, anyway, when he doesn't know how to make the most of these spiritual rice, he is unwilling to eat them often just for the sake of appetite.
Then he naturally thought that the Spirit Gathering Array under the Wang Family's Taoyuan had deposited hundreds of years of spiritual power, and he didn't know if he could use it to grow spiritual rice, if he could, I am afraid that he would not have to worry about the consumption of spiritual rice!
It seems that after joining the spiritual sect, he has one more goal: to learn how to grow spiritual rice.
Soon the spiritual rice was cooked, the sweet fragrance of the rice and the fragrance of the forest after the rain were even stronger, even with his heart and concentration, it was like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, eating wildly, and only after eating did he have time to taste the taste, but at this time he was no longer in the mood to taste the taste, he now felt warm all over his body, just a bowl of spiritual rice, the effect was several times better than the soup of the medicinal bath he carefully prepared!
What's more, it was the first time he had "seen" such a dense spiritual power, what was the spiritual rice!
At this time, nature can't waste its considerable "medicinal power" and begin to absorb it with heart.
..............................................................................
After resting for one night, he continued to hurry, after having the experience of fighting with the three spiritual robbers, Xu Mo was no longer as good as he was at the beginning, seeing them would rather go around in a big circle than avoid possible threats, this time he wanted to return to Shunjiang City as soon as possible, so that he could study the "Initial Solution of the Formation" that he bought for 50,000 taels of silver.
He did not seek to master the above knowledge in a short period of time, but only wanted to find a way to control and operate the "Floating Clouds and Flying Cranes".
In Xu Mo's opinion, a magic weapon like "Floating Clouds and Flying Cranes" may require more advanced abilities when making, but it should not be too difficult to use - building an airplane and flying an airplane are completely different things, and "The Initial Solution of the Formation" may not have a direct method of operating the "Floating Clouds and Flying Cranes", but it will definitely talk about the use of the formation patterns, and he can see the formation patterns in the flying cranes.
When he returned to the city this time, he focused on speed, and the opportunities for close contact with other spiritual cultivators increased a lot, and it turned out that when these spiritual cultivators saw him alone, there were actually a small number of people who wanted to rob him by the way......
Soon, in the midst of a small range of spiritual practices, there was a sudden news that all Taoists should be careful of the "Pickpocketing Maniac" - it is said that he is a middle-aged Taoist priest who does not seem to have a high level of cultivation, but he is very cruel, and those who dare to attack him will often be beheaded with a knife, and others will be robbed of all their money and materials, and will be stripped naked......
Such rumors did make some people relent, but a small number of people became red-eyed because of the increased wealth of the "pickpocketing maniac", so they chased after them.
It's a pity that they all pounced, because no matter how much they explored, they didn't find a target that matched the "middle-aged Taoist".
Four days later, at noon, a young hunter entered the city with two rabbits covered with autumn fat.
This young man full of vitality is Xu Mo, and no one will associate him with the image of a "middle-aged Taoist" when he sees him, but in fact, because of his experience in his previous life, he is more like a middle-aged person.
Because of the Shunjiang Palace, it was much safer after entering the city, but he still made a few actions to get rid of, and then found a small courtyard with a quiet environment to live in.
As he guessed, the content in "The First Solution of the Formation" is very rudimentary, and the several formations recorded are also very rudimentary and simple formations such as insect prevention, miasma, fire avoidance, and solidification, but the use of the formation patterns in it still inspired him, and there are common things similar to formulas between them.
It may be too early for him to innovate and develop more magic circles with this understanding, but it is enough to study the activation method of the inner formation of "Floating Clouds and Flying Cranes".
After repeated attempts, two days later, in the middle of the night, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed around the fist-sized "Floating Cloud Flying Crane" he placed in the middle of the living room, and then his wings moved, and it suddenly turned into a wooden bird with a wingspan of more than two meters and a back height of about one meter!
Xu Mo waved his fist vigorously, this should be the posture of it when it flies!
Everything was difficult at the beginning, and then he spent another day studying, and he had already done a good idea of how to make it fly, but there was still a lot of practice in between knowing how to fly and really making it fly, and this step obviously could not be carried out in the city.
The next day, he took off all his makeup, changed back to his original Xu Dong's house, and then walked out of the house, and from this moment on, his next plan was officially launched.
He first went to the city and spent nearly three days purchasing a large number of silk and satin, paper, ink, pen, inkstone, some gold, silver, jewelry, rouge and gouache, which were relatively lacking in Shengyun Mansion, and finally bought a cart of exquisite porcelain and jade, and then found the largest Bafang Guild in the city to escort him and the goods to Huiyun Mansion.
This Octagon Guild is the one in the Scattered Cultivation Market, so he dares to take this job, and Xu Mo can rest assured.
Now he is not short of money at all, although these things are more cumbersome, but they are all smooth, and on the same day, the Bafang Guild escorted more than a dozen carts out of the city.
After leaving the city, Xu Mo told Steward Qiu on this trip that he would arrange things on the road, as long as he didn't disturb him.
Steward Qiu was also afraid that he would be a layman and command, and he was also worried that Xu Mo was just talking, but in the next two days, Xu Mo was almost like a lady, and he stayed in the spacious carriage he specially asked for all day and did not show up, if he didn't eat on time and come out once or twice a day, he would have doubted whether there was anyone in the horse painting.
After another two days, Xu Mo didn't even show his face - in fact, it wasn't that he wanted to nest in the carriage all day, the reason why he didn't come out was because he waited for the people in the trading house to fall asleep late every night, and he went to practice flying on the "Floating Cloud Flying Crane", after two days of exploration, he could already make the flying crane lift into the air and move, but the result was really not the same thing as the actual operation, he didn't grasp the direction and speed well, and accidentally crashed into the bushes!
Fortunately, he didn't hurt Feihe, but his face, neck, and hands were all scratched out, and if he went out during the day, even if he didn't have to explain to them, it would inevitably cause unnecessary speculation, although it didn't have much impact on his plan, but why cause unnecessary trouble?
On the whole, whether it is traveling or practicing crane flying, they are making steady progress, and the advantage of the big chamber of commerce is that all the trivial things on the road are arranged in advance, and the small group of robbers who often haunt the road dare not provoke them, and the large group of robbers also have Qiu to take care of them.
However, there are exceptions to everything, and in the face of goods worth eighty or ninety thousand, such a large piece of fat, some people can't help but want to stretch out their hands.
That evening, as their convoy passed through a valley, a gong sounded, and the intersection in front and behind was blocked by a crowd of people.
Steward Qiu walked forward with someone and arched his hand: "Luo Da is in charge, we have met again, here are eighty taels of silver, two pigs, and four sheep, it is not a tribute, I will give you a drink, please be accommodating!"
Luo Dangjia is nearly two meters tall, and the horses under his crotch are a little small, he didn't let people pick up things, but took a dagger and sharpened his nails, and said lightly: "I took one or two hundred people down the mountain, and Steward Qiu used this thing to send us away?"
Steward Qiu hurriedly smiled: "Haha, our owner admires Luo Dangjia very much, this is indeed mine is not, I will add another hundred taels, and please make it convenient for Luo Dangjia!"
Luo Dangjia pointed to the goods with his chin and said, "There are nearly 100,000 things in there, why don't you take out such a little and send it to Huazi?"
Steward Qiu smiled bitterly and said, "My Master Luo, no matter how many of those things are, they are not ours!"
Luo Dangjia smiled casually and said, "In this way, it is not difficult for me to be for you." Go and call the master, and I'll talk to him. ”
Steward Qiu's face changed, and he said, "Leader Luo, please don't start play......ing!"
As he spoke, he saw that Master Luo compared a six, pointed at him again, and stretched out two fingers.
Steward Qiu raised his eyebrows, shook his head, and continued: "The Eight Directions Guild will go to all directions and make friends from all over the world, and Luo Dangjia really doesn't talk about any affection?"
At the same time, he stretched out four fingers, pointed at himself, and held out four more fingers.
Master Luo laughed and said: "Steward Qiu, please rest assured, of course we have to give the face of the Bafang Guild, you go and call the master, we just want to make a friend!" At the same time, he lowered his voice and said threateningly: "I will take fifty percent of this batch of goods, and finally divide you into one and a half, this is the bottom line! I have so many mouths to eat, Steward Qiu should not be too greedy, but the goods afterwards can let you take a shot!"
Steward Qiu snorted coldly, but did not insist, and then walked to Xu Mo's car and said with a wry smile: "Boss Xu, things are a little troublesome now......
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the lights and candles were lit in the car, and he saw Xu Mo's shadow inside from the car window, as if he was painting?
