227 Protector of the Nation
227 Protector Immortal
After Qin left the royal city of Northern Qi, he went to the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom, found a small city of ten thousand, lived in seclusion, and refined three Guiyuan pills every day for cultivation and growth of vitality, while concentrating on cultivating the "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra".
He carefully calculated that according to the current progress of taking the spirit pill and cultivating the Sutra of Sitting and Forgetting, it would take more than a year to complete the first layer of the foundation building period. It will take about six years to complete the initial stage of the foundation building period, from the first layer to the third layer.
This speed, for the vast majority of foundation building period monks, is simply a shocking speed. Because the vast majority of monks don't have enough mid-level elixirs to take.
In the Fang market, the price of one Guiyuan Pill (suitable for low-level monks to build a foundation) is as high as thirty low-grade spirit stones. After taking it, it takes enough time to absorb the spiritual power of the elixir, so each monk can take up to three pills a day. If you take three Guiyuan Pills every day, even if you are a great cultivator of the Immortal Family, you will be exhausted in a very short period of time.
Therefore, the average foundation building monk can take more than a dozen pills of elixir every month, which is already very good.
However, for Ye Qinlai, as long as there are spirit stones, he can directly grow elixirs in the Purple Mansion at a very low cost, and use these spirit grasses to refine the Guiyuan Pill needed for the first layer of the foundation building period, and increase his cultivation.
Refining one Guiyuan Pill consumed about three of his lower-grade spirit stones. This cost is far lower than that of ordinary foundation building monks.
However, Ye Qinxin knew very well that even if he had the huge advantage of the Purple Mansion, he was not the only foundation building cultivator who could take enough elixir.
In the Qingdan Gate, as the daughter of the Golden Ancestor Emperor Fu Rui, Huangfu Bing'er got a considerable herb field in Qingdan Peak from the moment she entered the mountain gate, and after planting the elixir for more than 20 years, she was able to harvest enough elixir for refining the middle-level elixir, and hit the Jindan period with all her might, so she did not lack the elixir at all.
There are actually more than ten core monks like Huangfu Bing in the Qingdan Sect. They are all directly related to the Jindan Ancestor, or they are monks of the Great Cultivator Immortal Family within the sect. The spiritual root potential of these monks themselves is usually very high, and with the help of the financial and human resources of the sect, they will almost certainly be able to reach the ninth layer of the foundation building period within thirty or forty years, which is the greatest hope of the sect to attack the Jindan monks.
Forty years is a very short time for a monk who lives for 200 years. In the prime of life. Step into the golden realm. So as to fully impact the yuan baby in the future. Lay the groundwork.
In the Lingwu Mountain Range, there are other major cultivation immortal sects that are not so focused on cultivating core foundation building period cultivators. They all went directly to the masters of the Jindan period.
Of course. It is not like this, and the core monks who are focused on cultivating by the sect. You will definitely be able to become a Jindan monk. It takes a lot of chance to do this.
The bottleneck of gold futures. And the Little Tribulation is an extremely difficult threshold. But no questions asked. These core cultivators, who had been poured a lot of money into by the sect, had a greater chance of attaining the Dan Land than others.
Ye Qin had a sense of urgency about this.
Because the Purple Mansion exists. It allowed him to cultivate a large number of earth spirit herbs in a very short period of time, surpassing ordinary foundation building monks. But compared to the few core monks who were backed by the entire sect. His superiority in cultivation was not so obvious. Or rather, there are few advantages.
Everything can only rely on desperate diligence, and you can't slack off for a moment. Therefore, even on the way to the Northern Qi Kingdom, he did not stop cultivating for a day.
After a few months of seclusion and cultivation in the Great Zhou Kingdom, the spirit stone in Ye Qin's hand was exhausted.
After using up the spirit stones in his hand, he had to go out to look for the spirit stones.
He had obtained a large number of spirit stones in the Wankuling Cave before, but most of them were used to refine the Jidan. In the Southern Liang Kingdom, some spiritual weapons were sold in exchange for some low-grade spirit stones, but most of them have also been used. The speed of obtaining spirit stones is always unable to keep up with the speed of consumption.
Ye Qin was also quite helpless about this.
However, with such a large amount of spirit stones consumed and continuous diligent cultivation, his cultivation finally made a small step of progress and entered the realm of the second layer of the foundation building period. You must know that after building the foundation, it is becoming more and more difficult to improve his cultivation, and it is quite rare for him to advance to the next level in more than a year.
Before going out to look for spirit stones, Ye Qin was in his secluded residence, cultivating the "Demon Shadow ****" in the "Heavenly Heart Formula" obtained from Liao Wang's Mansion.
This spell is the state of mind spell of the monk in the foundation building period, forming a mana mirror with powerful mana, projecting his own figure on the mirror, and then transforming this mana mirror into a human form.
He was already able to make a mana mirror, and he was still one last step away from turning the mana mirror into a human form.
As Ye Qin's hands continued to play cumbersome spells, a smooth mana mirror soon appeared on his opposite side.
But how to transform it into a human form stumped Ye Qin. Holding the damaged "Heavenly Heart Formula" cheatbook, thinking for a long time, Ye Qin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and shot a mana towards the mirror, and the mirror revolved around him.
The shadows of Ye Qin's front and back, left and right, were completely ingested. The mirror erupted in a burst of light and began to distort, gradually concave into a human figure. Half a day later, the light dissipated, and another vivid "Ye Qin" appeared opposite him.
The appearance, temperament, and aura of this "Demon Shadow" exude
Like him, the only flaw is that it has no substance: the human being is amazed at the ability to control "it" with his divine sense to perform simple actions.
"It worked!"
Ye Qin breathed a sigh of relief and stopped, with an unexpected surprise on his face. He tried hundreds of times, and finally he was able to master the spell. The first time a magic mirror was used to cast a magic shadow, and it took a long time. However, once you become proficient, the time consumed can be greatly reduced.
This is only the first level of the "Demon Shadow ****", and when the cultivation reaches the third layer, you can conjure three demon shadows at once. At the sixth layer, the aura of the demon shadow can reach several times that of a real person.
After months of seclusion, it's time to get out and about.
On the border of the Great Zhou Kingdom, a military town, Danyang City. Dozens of miles further north is the Dingbian Pass. After going out of Dingbian Pass, after passing through a deserted jungle valley, he entered the territory of the Northern Qi Kingdom.
Originally, this was a city between the Great Zhou Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom, and there were many caravans driving horses between the two countries on weekdays.
But as soon as the war between the two countries was blocked, border trade was cut off. Thousands of merchants were trapped in the city closest to the border pass.
Since the war between the two countries, the Great Zhou has been requisitioned and transferred to Danyang City, and has hoarded nearly 500,000 troops. Waiting for the decisive battle of the Northern Qi State on the border at any time.
Danyang City.
A palace guard rushed to the head of the city, jumped off his horse, came to the wall of the gate of this important town, and posted an announcement: "The Great Zhou State Decree Yu openly recruited the Protector Immortal Master to accompany the army to the Northern Qi Dynasty. β
Immediately, there were a lot of businessmen and ordinary people, who went up, pointed and grinned, "Recruit the Protector Immortal Master?" "My lord, when can I clear the customs?"
The guard whipped him and said, "Pass the customs, all supplies are forbidden to be transported to the Northern Qi to get through the enemy! Disperse immediately, don't block the passage of the city gate." β
Immediately the people were scattered.
After this announcement was posted in Danyang City, there were very few applicants. Not everyone is qualified to do it, it must be a real immortal to be qualified. But the immortals wander around, and their traces are hard to find. Helpless, he could only stick it on the walls of all the cities in the Great Zhou Kingdom, hoping that the immortals passing by could see it.
This notice was posted on the city for months.
On this day, there was a strong peasant man wearing coarse cloth clothes and a dark appearance, carrying a hoe to the front of the city, looking at the city for a while, and then took down the announcement of recruiting the Protector Immortal, and said loudly, "I will be the Protector Immortal, where should I apply?"
The palace guards standing at the announcement office glanced at Dahan. This guard is a guard in the Northern Qi court, and he has seen a lot of real immortals in the court. The strong farmer in front of him, how did he look like a farmer who had just finished working in the field, he couldn't help but laugh shamefully, "You peasant man, what other skills do you have besides farming?"
The swarthy man heard the ridicule in the guard's tone, stared at the guard with wide eyes, roared, and his body shook violently, and his body was immediately covered with a thin layer of yellow earth armor. Pierced a horse step, and smashed his fist on a boulder used to plant a flagpole at the head of the city, and thousands of catties of boulder were punched by him into a large hole deep in the arm.
The swarthy man dissipated his armor and glanced at the guard with contempt, "What do you think I have to do?"
The guard was startled, and secretly screamed in his heart that he was obedient in the middle of winter, this strong farmer is really an immortal, and if this punch goes down, even if it is an ironclad man, he will be stoned to death. "The immortal master is offended, please go to the Danyang camp with the little one! There are already a lot of immortal masters gathered there. β
At this time, a young man also walked from afar at this time, came to the head of Danyang City, looked at the guards and the big man with great interest for a while, and said, "Wait a minute, what conditions do you need to be the protector of the Great Zhou Kingdom?"
The man was ordinary-looking, and he didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but he had a gentle expression.
The guards were taught a lesson, and they didn't dare to judge people by their appearance, so they said respectfully: "If you want to be the protector of your country, as long as you are an immortal." However, the country's protector immortal masters are divided into several grades. There are at least twenty lower-grade spirit stones per month, and a slightly more intelligent immortal master can also have a hundred lower-grade spirit stones a month. However, now that the war is tense, the country's Protector Immortal Master needs to go out with the army. β
"Hundreds of spirit stones a month, that's not bad. β
The young man thought about it for a while, and it should be enough for him to use it for a month. Moreover, there are many monks in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and he should be able to exchange some useful items with them. couldn't help laughing: "Then I'll follow you to the barracks." β
The big swarthy man stared at the young man in shock. This great man's cultivation is too low, and he is only at the second level of the Qi cultivation period. Coupled with the fact that the young man deliberately lowered most of his cultivation, the big man couldn't see the true cultivation of this young man at all. But Dahan also knew that the monk in front of him was much higher than him.
"The junior is Li Tiecheng of Baicang Fort in the Great Zhou Kingdom, I don't know what the seniors are called?"
"Qin. β
The swarthy peasant man hurriedly said, "It turned out to be Senior Qin!"
The young man smiled lightly and nodded.
