With the growth of those precious elixirs planted near the spiritual spring mouth in the island lord's mansion, they complemented the spiritual spring mouth, gradually swallowing the qi veins and improving the spiritual energy content around them.

Now the spiritual energy content in the air near the mouth of the spiritual spring has increased a lot.

Cultivating around here, the cost performance of using spirit stones to practice is too low.

As a result, a lot of spirit stones were hoarded.

If these spirit stones are hidden in his hands and not spent, he will not be able to improve his strength at all, which is impossible for Zhang Qingyuan to allow.

However, consumption also needs to be spent in the right place.

Sort out your own situation, the most important thing is to find enough materials to refine the Ning Zhen Pill.

"I hope you can buy those refining materials around here. ”

Zhang Qingyuan thought to himself in his heart.

And the action began.

Within a month or so.

Zhang Qingyuan handed over all the government affairs of the Yuelian Islands to his subordinates, and ordered the people below to help inquire about the news of the main materials of Ning Zhen Dan.

At the same time, the whole person frequently goes out, travels to the markets of various large islands, enters some famous big stores to search, and often runs auctions in some places.

I hope to be able to find these materials in the market, or find the spiritual objects I need at the auction.

It's a pity that when I was in some island markets, I once encountered people who set up stalls in the markets to sell Jiaolong ginseng and other elixirs needed to refine the Ning Zhen Pill.

But these are not the elixirs you need.

Fortunately, a month of hard searching.

In the end, at an auction on Tiannan Island, Zhang Qingyuan finally found his goal.

In that auction, Zhang Qingyuan spent a total of more than 6,000 spirit stones.

At the auction on Tiannan Island, a 600-year-old purple green root and a 700-year-old Lingbi flower were purchased.

Those two things, judging from the finale auction items of 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of spirit stones at that auction, were nothing in terms of asking price.

However, as one of the eight main materials refined by Ning Zhen Dan, it was extremely precious in itself, and it was coaxed by most people, and there were even True Yuan Realm cultivators who fought for it.

This made Zhang Qingyuan finally get what he wanted, but in the end, he bought these two elixirs at a premium to a certain extent, and spent a lot more spirit stones.

The spirit stones in the pocket are also empty.

But there's no way around it.

The main material of Ning Zhen Dan is extremely precious because of its own use, and it will basically be bought on the spot as soon as it appears in the market.

Even if it was an auction house with a very deep background in means, it would not be able to gather enough of the same or one Ning Zhen Dan material at every auction.

As a large-scale auction venue in Tiannan City, which stands in the center of the South China Sea frontline, it is already good to be able to have one or two copies of the main materials of Ning Zhen Dan in each auction.

If you want to search in the outside world, unless you are exploring some secret places, dangerous places, or some inaccessible areas, you can only get it by taking a shit luck.

Although the price is a little high, Zhang Qingyuan still decided to take pictures of them.

It's just that in this way, the spirit stones in his hands are basically consumed.

Zhang Qingyuan also had to leave Tiannan City and rush back to the Yuelian Islands.

"Now I have collected seven of the eight main materials of Ning Zhen Dan, and the remaining ones are the thousand-year-old Flying Spirit Magic Vine, which is just the most precious of the main materials of Ning Zhen Dan, which itself can increase the spiritual consciousness of the monk, so as to have a transformative effect on the spiritual consciousness when he is promoted. ”

Put away the newly purchased elixir, and see that the eight main materials are still the same.

But Zhang Qingyuan did not have the slightest look of excitement on his face.

Instead, he frowned slightly.

"This is a spiritual object that even the monks of the True Yuan Realm have a certain effect, it is extremely precious, not to mention whether there is it at auction or not, even if the price of the last Tiannan Auction Alliance auction is close to the sky-high price of a hundred medium-grade spirit stones! It is almost more than one-third of the value of the entire Ning Zhen Pill, and it is impossible for me to afford it now!"

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Qingyuan made a decision.

"Maybe I could try to explore some of the relics. ”

"Three years! If I can't find a thousand-year-old Flying Spirit Illusion Vine within three years, then I don't need to Ning Zhen Dan to try to break through the True Yuan Realm!"

Breaking through to the True Yuan Realm does not necessarily require the True Pill.

Many casual cultivators in the outside world could hardly gather the huge wealth of purchasing the Ning Zhen Pill, so some half-step True Yuan Realm casual cultivators would take the risk of forcibly rushing through the level.

It's just that the success rate of forcible promotion is too low.

And once the level fails, then it is very likely to damage the foundation, and it will take ten or twenty years to repair.

Relying on self-breakthrough does not have much advantage.

The odds of failure are also easy to lose.

This was also one of the reasons why the Ning Zhen Pill was almost a necessity for the monk to break through the Spirit Yuan Realm.

"Three years, that's enough!"

"At that time, with the foundation of my cultivation, it will inevitably be stronger, and the probability of success in breaking through will also be higher, so there should be no problem. ”

Zhang Qingyuan said secretly in his heart.

That, of course, is the final step.

It's best to be able to find enough elixir, and it's only right to prepare a Ning Zhen Pill.

Next.

Zhang Qingyuan returned to the Yuelian Islands and spent a day or two getting a general understanding of the various affairs on the islands and controlling the economic development of the islands.

Then he plunged headlong into the practice near the mouth of the spiritual spring.

However, he didn't stay in retreat for long.

Just slightly trimmed.

Restore your mind, and roughly practice your own magic and martial arts and other means a few times to deepen your memory, so that your proficiency will not decrease.

Simple trimming for a few days.

Zhang Qingyuan went out again.

That day, the Great Elder of the Jiang Family reminded Zhang Qingyuan of one thing again.

When he was in Luoshui Jiang's house, he was once attacked by monks suspected of being from the Luoshui County Scattered Cultivation Alliance.

After killing the attacker, Zhang Qingyuan obtained a dragon ginseng and an unknown map from the monk's storage bag that relied on forbidden medicine to temporarily break through to the half-step True Yuan Realm.

At that time, Zhang Qingyuan had speculated.

That map could well be where the Nameless Monk became powerful.

Otherwise, you won't take it with you.

There's nothing safer for casual practice than a storage bag that you carry with you.

It's just that the other party never thought that Zhang Qingyuan would be cheaper in the end.

Previously, Zhang Qingyuan passed through Luoshui County when he was on his way to the South China Sea, and Zhang Qingyuan also thought about exploring.

But a series of events after that made Zhang Qingyuan have no time to look around.

Now the Yuelian Islands have largely stabilized.

Nothing has happened lately either.

There are still three or four months to go.

Naturally, Zhang Qingyuan had the idea of exploring again.

"I don't know, what will be the place where the map is hidden?"

With all kinds of thoughts.

Zhang Qingyuan spent half a month of hard work, and according to the original map, he came to an extremely remote junction area between Nanhai and Luoshui County.
