After explaining some important rules to Ye Qin, Master Wu left Ye Qin's salary for the month and a large amount of money needed to build the pavilion of the other courtyard, and then left.

Soon, the construction of Qingquan Peak began.

The Qingdan Mountain Range, each of the main peaks, is very huge, with a radius of dozens of miles. Even within a peak, there are many small strange peaks, which need to be hundreds of zhang of iron lock bridges deep on the rocks, interconnected with each other, for ordinary disciples to pass through.

Ye Qin was halfway up the Qingquan Peak, and chose a place with a wide field of vision, flat terrain, and many trees, and built a courtyard with a peak in his back.

Many Qingyi miscellaneous disciples during the Qi refining period were hired to go to the deep mountains and old forests of the Lingwu Mountains to cut down hundreds or even thousands of years of rare wood, and let the top craftsmen of the Southern Liang Kingdom, Wulan Kingdom and other countries in the Qingdan Gate design and build a separate courtyard and several pavilions.

Ye Qin didn't bother with the other courtyard, his requirements for living were very simple, just be able to live in people. The trivial matters of building the courtyard were all handled by the newly accepted maid Peng Dan.

Peng Dan, this little girl's spiritual root potential is too low, and her cultivation is also a little low, she is dead to cultivation, and plans to be a middle-level monk in the Qi refining period, doing chores for Ye Qin, and she is a maid. After receiving Ye Qin's instructions, he commanded all the craftsmen with great interest, and vowed to build the most exquisite private courtyard in the Qingdan Gate.

Next to the courtyard, a high-grade medicine garden of several hectares is now owned by Ye Qin. There is no need for Ye Qin to plant medicinal herbs by himself, and he completely hires Tsing Yi miscellaneous disciples to plant and take care of them.

Ye Qin had no intention of taking care of his farm at all. Without decades of work, he would not have been able to obtain high-value medicinal materials from the medicine garden.

The monks of the Qingdanmen all know a little common sense, medicinal herbs are slowly grown, and the longer they live, the richer they become. Those Jindan ancestor-level monks, casually taking out a high-grade medicinal herb that is hundreds of years old, are comparable to all the belongings of an ordinary monk.

Just when Qingquan Peak began to build a large number of buildings, many ordinary disciples of the Qingdan Sect were shocked, and they seemed extremely excited.

Every year, only about three or four disciples of the Qingdan Sect succeed in building a foundation, because the number is too rare, and every new monk who succeeds in building a foundation is destined to become the envy of ordinary disciples of the entire sect, and it is also the hottest topic.

In just a few short years, most of the experience of "Senior Uncle Ye Qin" in Qingdanmen has been excavated by countless Qi refining stage disciples who like gossip.

It's a pity that Ye Qin's experience is really pale and lackluster.

Six years ago, he entered the Qingdanmen, and in the first three years, he was unknown, and almost no one heard of his deeds. Finally, there was a good disciple, and on the miscellaneous servant book of the Comprehensive Affairs Palace, it was found out that Ye Qin had received a mining task in Beiying Mountain, and only came back three years later to hand in the task.

This is also the only miscellaneous work that Ye Qin has done in the sect.

Let those disciples who like gossip dumbfounded. It's a pity that the Beiying Mountain Mining Farm was closed two years ago, and I don't know how Ye Qin stayed there for three years and what he did.

The only shining point of this Uncle Ye Qin was when he was in the trial of the Wankuling Cave, I don't know why he suddenly became powerful, and he got eight map scrolls in one go, and received two Zhuji Dan rewards from the master, and the remaining six Zhuji Dan were given to the same disciple brothers. After that, some things happened halfway, such as Wu Zijian, the son of the deputy head of Wu, who led people to maliciously snatch Zhuji Dan, and then Ye Qin disappeared for three years somehow, and these things were naturally mentioned. ——These things were in a uproar in the Qingdan Sect a few years ago, and many Qingyi disciples still remember them.

Many blue-clothed disciples disdained this, and sneered, Senior Uncle Ye Qin, this is just pure luck.

But most of the children in Tsing Yi strongly supported Ye Qin, thinking that this was evidence of strength, and Uncle Ye Qin was righteous enough, and he didn't forget to be polite to his fellow disciples after getting such a big benefit, everyone was touched, and he was simply an example of the master.

is not as shameless as Wu Zijian, who found an excuse to maliciously rob the Tsukidan of the same door, and finally stole the chicken and failed to lose a handful of rice, and even his father Wu Deputy Head also collapsed, lost his position as deputy head, and became an idle elder.

Fortunately, Senior Uncle Ye Qin is back alive now, otherwise Wu Zijian would have apologized for his crimes.

When all the Tsing Yi disciples talked about this matter, they all fiercely criticized Wu Zijian.

After all, a foundation building period monk like Ye Qin, who was born as a disciple of Tsing Yi, is actually rare in Qingdanmen. Most of the foundation building monks are from the core disciples of the blue cloth, and they have more chances to obtain the foundation building pill.

Only a small number of Tsing Yi disciples can rely on their own efforts and pay a greater price to build a foundation for success.

Ye Qin is the most typical Tsing Yi disciple background, and most of the Tsing Yi disciples of the Qingdan Sect are envious and reverent, so they are naturally more inclined to say good things for him. At least, the monks in Tsing Yi saw a living example from Ye Qin, which greatly inspired and boosted their morale.

Of course, the disciples were suddenly keen to talk about Ye Qin, and the reason was far more than that.

Every time the Qingdan Sect adds a foundation building stage monk, it will bring a lot of benefits to the low-level monks of the sect.

Building a new pavilion requires a lot of earth, stone and wood, and the earth, stone and precious wood of the Lingwu Mountain Range are extremely hard, even if a disciple of the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period makes a move, it is difficult to dig and cut down, at least hundreds of disciples in the Qi Refining Period must be hired, and it will take nearly a month to complete.

In addition, some miscellaneous disciples should be hired all year round to manage the medicinal garden and take care of the medicinal materials in the field. Taking care of the medicine garden and the fields has always been the most popular job in the Qingdan Gate. These disciples could earn a very stable and lucrative income from the hands of the monks in the foundation building period.

Ye Qin said that if he had any needs in the sect, he usually didn't have to do it himself, just spend spirit stones and let the Tsing Yi miscellaneous disciples do it.

These are all directly related to the immediate benefits of the disciples of Tsing Yi, and they will naturally attract the special attention of the disciples of Tsing Yi, and even inquire about Ye Qin's preferences.

Because of Peng Dan, Peng Yuanmao recommended himself and offered to help Ye Qin manage the medicine garden.

Ye Qin has long been the shopkeeper, regardless of these trivial matters. Seeing that Ye Qin didn't mind at all, Peng Dan, the little girl, became bold, made a decision, and decided to hire his brother as the head of the medicine garden, responsible for managing the medicine garden. There are two brothers and sisters, one takes care of the courtyard and the other manages the medicine garden.

Ye Qin also turned a blind eye to this. Anyway, the spirit stones were all deducted from the salaries issued by the Qingdanmen, and basically had no effect on him. The brother and sister can take care of all these trivial things, he just needs to be quiet

After the disciples were busy for a month, Ye Qin's annex was finally completed as scheduled, with bluestone walls, glazed tiles, several courtyards before and after the courtyard, many large and small attics, and special alchemy rooms and retreat rooms.

The main courtyard, the courtyard relief, the eaves and the arches, the painting of the carved beams, carved many birds and beasts. The seats in the courtyard are all mahogany, red sandalwood and other rare woods, solemn and elegant, simple and charming.

The backyard water pavilion and rockery are all quarried from the high-quality green jade and white stone in the deep mountain streams, which may be worth a lot of money in the eyes of secular mortals, not to mention the value of a thousand gold. But in the eyes of immortal cultivators, jade without aura is only mined for stepping on.

The handrail verandah between the courtyards, the half-moon gate communicates, and a lot of plum orchids and bamboo chrysanthemums are planted. Looking at this style, I am afraid that it is designed according to the wealthy courtyards of the Southern Liang Kingdom or the Ulan Kingdom. It's just that even if it's a rich family, it's far from being so luxurious. Just one annex is enough to see that the craftsmanship of those craftsmen is extraordinary.

After the completion of the annex, some brothers who lived near Qingquan Peak came to congratulate each other, and it was lively for half a month before it gradually subsided.

What made Ye Qin cry and laugh was that in a courtyard a few miles away from his courtyard, there lived a hundred-year-old white-haired old man, a monk on the third floor of the foundation building period, who liked to come to him when he had nothing to do, and every time he came, he shouted at the top of his voice, "Senior Brother Ye is not there, old man, I'm here to eat again." ”

Ye Qin also had to respectfully say, "Senior Brother Ge, the food is full!"

This white-haired old man was none other than the caretaker on the second floor of the Qingdan Library Pavilion, Ge Lao. As early as when Ye Qin first entered the Qingdan Gate, he had seen this "Uncle Ge" refining weapons on the second floor of the Library Pavilion, and he was startled.

After Ye Qin Zhuji returned to Qingdanmen, he often went to the Library Pavilion to pick up books, so he was naturally somewhat familiar with this Senior Brother Ge.

What surprised Ye Qin was that this Senior Brother Ge's other courtyard was not far from his residence, and it was only a few miles. came and went, and gradually became acquainted. Old man Ge's surname is open-minded, some are neither big nor small, during this time, he remembered the food cooked by Peng Dan's girl, and went to Ye Qin here for three days.

There is no problem with the monks of the foundation building period who do not eat or drink. But Old Man Ge is just like this, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't eat a meal of big fish and meat every few days.

Ye Qin was not rejected, there were some questions he wanted to ask Senior Brother Ge for advice. This Senior Brother Ge is a good refiner. There are a lot of monks in the Qingdan Sect who are alchemists, but it is rare to find a monk like Senior Brother Ge who spends all his mind on refining weapons.

Ye Qin invited Old Man Ge to a beautiful and full meal, and found an opportunity to ask about the refining.

"Is there any way to refine a magic weapon?"

Old man Ge recalled the smell of roasted chicken legs just now, shook his head vigorously and said, "It's difficult, refining spiritual weapons, you only need the innate true fire of the foundation building period monks." However, to refine the magic weapon, it must be Uncle Jindan's Samadhi True Fire to refine. However, Uncle Jin Dan has been practicing in retreat all year round, and it is impossible to easily refine weapons for the disciples in the sect. Unless they are refining magic weapons for those close to their heirs, they can do it themselves. ”

Ye Qin naturally knew this, so he didn't mean to ask Uncle Jin Dan for help at all, what he wanted to know was the solution, and asked, "Then we, the two hundred foundation building disciples, need to use magic weapons, what can we do?"

Old man Ge picked his teeth and said, "The earth fire room of Qingdanmen can also refine weapons, which are divided into two types: red flame and green flame. However, there are more than fifty rooms in the Red Flame Fire Room, which can refine spiritual weapons. The Qingyan Earth Fire Room can be used to refine magic weapons, and there are only two rooms, which are pitiful. Even the head of Wu, the deputy heads, and the elders have to line up to use it, and the time to use it is very limited, so it would be good to use it once in four or five years. Ordinary foundation-building monks like us can't take their turn at all. ”

When Old Man Ge said this, he sighed sadly. A refiner like him has always been refining some spiritual weapons, and he has no chance to refine magic weapons at all. You can only refine a few pseudo-magic weapons by yourself to play with them.

He pulled out a small, inch-sized golden sword from his storage bag. "Senior brother, my greatest wish in this life is to refine a few decent magic weapons. Look, what is this?" the small golden sword in his hand flew up, easily changing in size.

Ye Qin was stunned for a moment and said, "Uh, the golden sword magic weapon?"

Old man Ge was disdainful, and casually threw it to Ye Qin, saying, "I'll give it to you to play." This thing looks exactly like the Golden Sword Weapon, and I have added several formations to the sword. However, if you encounter the true magic weapon, it will be over as soon as you touch it. ”

Ye Qin took the pseudo-magic weapon in his hand, and immediately felt that the weight of this small sword was too light, obviously the texture was not enough. A real golden sword weapon, the same size of a few inches, but at least ten times heavier. Although this pseudo-magic weapon looks very much like a magic weapon, to put it bluntly, it is actually just a small spirit sword disguised.

"There are only two Qingyan Earth Fire Rooms, so in this year, our Qingdanmen can only produce a few magic weapons every year?"

Ye Qin was very depressed, he had never been to the fire room of Qingdanmen. I didn't expect the high-level Qingyan Earth Fire Room to be so tense at all, and even the head of the house had to line up to use it. He had a purple fire crystal in his hand, and he was thinking about refining a Nanming Li's fire sword. The earth fire room of Qingdanmen, it seems that there is no hope.

Old man Ge said with a smile: "Of course, it's pitiful, it's good that the Earth Fire Room can produce a few magic weapons every year." However, our Qingdanmen does not rely entirely on their own magic weapons. A large part of the spiritual weapons and magic weapons used by the disciples of our sect were exchanged for spiritual pills from other immortal cultivation sects. There are seven major sects of cultivating immortals, and each sect has different outputs. The elixir of Qingdanmen, the flying sword of the ancient weapon, the armor of the earth, the strange weapon of the Great Luomen, the silk armor of the moon, the talisman and formation of the Tianqi Gate, and the monsters and rare birds of the beast spirit are all famous. Other minor cultivation immortal sects also produce some good things. I don't know what kind of magic weapon Senior Brother Ye wants, I can help you refer to it. ”

"Flying swords. ”

"The flying sword magic weapon, that is naturally the best quality of the ancient weapon gate, but the flying sword of the ancient weapon gate is very expensive. Low-level and middle-level flying swords, just find a small sect to buy, and high-level flying swords are best to find the ancient weapon gate. It is best to prepare more elixirs such as the Guiyuan Pill used by the monks in the foundation building period, so that it is easy to buy. Senior Brother Ye wants to buy a flying sword of that grade?"

"Uh, what's the price?"

Ye Qin pondered for a moment and said. He didn't plan to tell this Senior Brother Ge about refining the Nanming Lihuo Sword. He knew it himself.

"The top stairs?"

Old Man Ge was very surprised, and soon shook his head like a rattle: "Let's not talk about the price of the top-level magic weapon, even if you can afford it, the ancient artifact gate will not be sold at all." The top-level flying sword, in order to ensure its own advantages, the Ancient Artifact Gate will not sell it easily at all.

Just like our Qingdan Sect, we have always only sold some ordinary grade elixirs, and rarely sell high-grade elixirs such as Zhuji Dan and Shouyuan Dan. Even if it is sold, it is to exchange some extremely precious items from the other party. ”

After hearing this, Ye Qin couldn't help but be disappointed. In this case, even if he produced the purple fire type mineral crystal material and paid a sum of money, the monks of the Ancient Artifact Sect might not be willing to help him refine the top-level flying sword.

Old man Ge took Ye Qin's disappointed expression in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Ye seems to be very interested in refining weapons, otherwise, how about you learn refining tools with me?" In fact, refining tools are much more interesting than alchemy, and there are many refining techniques. The refined spirit weapon is sold and exchanged for the spirit pill, and it can be easily cultivated and increased. If you can get a pill in the future, then it will be easier to refine the flying sword magic weapon. If our Qingdan Sect comes up with a Jindan Elder who specializes in refining, it will be a face-saving matter. ”

Ye Qin shook his head, Yu Dan, it's so easy there, and said with a smile: "Senior brother is proficient in refining, I don't know if senior brother knows what Yuan Jing is?"

Old man Ge was surprised: "Yuan Jing, why are you asking this?"

Ye Qin said: "When I looked through the refining formula, I occasionally saw this thing, and I felt a little strange. ”

Old man Ge thought that Ye Qin had seen the recipe in the library pavilion inside the Qingdan Gate, so he didn't think much about it, and said, "Yuan Jing is the Yuan Shen Essence. After the monk of the Yudan period sits and dies, the Yuan Shen disintegrates, leaving a small amount of Yuan Jing. But the role of this elemental essence has not been known for a long time. It wasn't until later that someone accidentally discovered that if a small amount of Yuan Jing was added to the magic weapon and tempered, the magic weapon could be incorporated into the body. And can be wrapped in its own primordial spirit, and slowly tempered by the primordial spirit. After several years of refining of the Yuan Shen, the power of the magic weapon has increased greatly, and it can at least increase the power of about 30% to 50% on the original basis. Therefore, the magic weapon that added the Yuan Jing was also called the Yuan Shen magic weapon. However, there are too few Yuan Essences in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and after the Monk Jiedan sits down, the Yuan Essence left behind will be left and treasured by the sect, and few people can get it. ”

Ye Qin looked startled, nodded slowly, and his heart gradually sank. He is now clear about the origin of Yuan Jing, but his hope is getting slimmer and slimmer. The things left behind after the death of the monk in the Yudan period, where did he go to get the Yuan Jing?

When Old Man Ge said this, he added, "Even if someone gets it, they may not be able to refine it." ”

Ye Qin said strangely: "Why is this? The Yuan Shen magic weapon is much more powerful than the normal magic weapon, there should be many people refining it." ”

Old man Ge rolled his eyes, "This is not simple, since the Yuan Shen has refined the magic weapon and greatly increased the power of the magic weapon, the Yuan Shen itself will definitely consume a lot of Yuan Qi." At least it will reduce its cultivation, and if it is worse, it will even be directly demoted.

Although the power of the Yuan Shen magic weapon is much greater than that of ordinary magic weapons. However, the vitality obtained from hard cultivation is much more precious than a Yuan Shen magic weapon. Who would do such a stupid thing? Isn't this delaying one's own cultivation? Of course, except for those monks whose longevity was almost exhausted and who were about to die. If they can see it, they don't care about the loss of cultivation, and before they die, they inhale the Yuan Shen magic weapon into their bodies and use the Yuan Shen to refine it. Anyway, for the monks who are dying, the level of cultivation has no effect on them. The Yuan Shen magic weapon is left to future generations, and it can also play a big role. ”

Ye Qin was dumbfounded, stunned for a while before he woke up.

"The refining of the Yuan Shen magic weapon will consume the vitality?"

He was really annoyed, that purple jade Gu Jian could "deceived" him bitterly. The Purple Sword Divine Monarch boasted that after his "Purple Sword Duel" was practiced, he was invincible in building a foundation and forming a Dan, which turned out to be the case.

Eight top-level flying sword magic weapons refined from the best raw materials to form a sword formation, which in itself is perverted enough. Then add the Yuan Jing, after the refining of the Yuan Shen, the power of each handle can be increased by more than 30%.

Just ask, how many Jindan monks in the world can beat a perverted monk with eight top-level primordial magic weapons in his hands?

This Purple Sword Divine Monarch was really strong, and he was actually able to come up with eight sets of top-level flying sword plus yuan essence raw material formulas. However, this Purple Sword Divine Monarch is a Yuan Infant Stage cultivator, and his longevity is very long, so he has enough time to collect these raw materials. He was only a foundation stage cultivator, and most of his time was spent cultivating, but he didn't have so much time to collect these raw materials.

Old Man Ge vigorously encouraged Ye Qin to learn refining tools with him, and it was rare for a monk like Ye Qin to be interested in his pseudo-magic weapons.

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Qin agreed. He will have to learn alchemy sooner or later, and Old Man Ge has the heart to teach him, of course he will not refuse.

For most of the following half a year, Ye Qin began to practice behind closed doors in his own courtyard, learning refining weapons while cultivating.

He practiced the foundation building period exercise of the novella of "Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra", "Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra, Returning to the Origin": "Sitting in the void and forgetting, there is no self as true." Reborn, dirt does not invade"

Perhaps it was because when the ancient monks created the practice of "Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra and Sitting and Looking at the Selfless", the method adopted was too extreme, and there were too many dead monks, and only a very small number of monks succeeded in building the foundation. As a result, those very few monks were obviously frightened and did not dare to continue to cultivate in an overly aggressive way.

Therefore, the foundation building period of this novella emphasizes the return to nature, step by step, so that the internal breath runs soothingly, and no longer forcibly restricts the astringent breath. Just like a person who is experiencing a serious illness, he slowly uses warm fire to breathe.

At the same time of cultivation, Zifu cultivated medicine and refined some Guiyuan Pills in the foundation building period, which was also indispensable every time they were taken. After all, for Ye Qin, only the elixir was the fastest way to grow his cultivation.

When he was alchemizing, he set up array flags outside the alchemy room, and no one could get close to the alchemy room.

In order to avoid suspicion of the origin of his medicinal materials, he also deliberately purchased a lot of medicinal materials from other foundation-building monks in his sect.

Buy medicinal herbs, refine elixir, sell elixir, and exchange for spirit stones.

In this way, although there are no medicinal materials growing in his field, no one will question the origin of his medicinal materials at will, they will only think that his alchemy is good, and he can earn a lot of spirit stones just by alchemy, and then use spirit stones to buy medicinal materials.

In addition, Ye Qin occasionally had time, so he followed Old Man Ge to refine the weapon and became familiar with the art of refining.

In the past half a year or so, Qingdanmen has produced several new monks who have successfully built the foundation, and they have celebrated a lot, and the entire Qingdanmen will be lively every once in a while. Most of these foundation-building monks were almost all blue-clothed disciples, and there was even a son of an elder of the Qingdanmen.

In this way, after Ye Qin closed his door, he was naturally gradually forgotten by the disciples in the sect.

(To be continued)
