Chapter 108: Lu Yao
This jasper-colored folding fan spirit weapon was similar in appearance to the white jade fan used in his early years, but what really made Fang Zhe fall in love with this folding fan spirit weapon was not its appearance, but because this folding fan was a defensive spirit weapon.

Due to the cultivation of the exercises, Fang Zhe's main means of attack was sword cultivation and supernatural powers, so the most important thing for him was naturally the spirit weapon of the flying sword type.
But now that he has the medium-grade spirit weapon Dark Spirit Sword given by Li Yibai, there is not much demand for flying sword spirit weapons in a short period of time, if he has the opportunity, he still wants to choose a spirit weapon that can be used in daily life for both offense and defense.
But now after seeing this jasper-colored folding fan, Fang Zhe was very eager to give up his previous plan.
Because this jasper folding fan seems to have good defensive power.
Generally speaking, whether it is the magic weapons used by the monks in the Qi training period or the spiritual weapons used by the monks in the foundation building period, most of them are attack, while the defensive magic weapons or spiritual weapons are more difficult to refine, so the number is generally smaller, and the price is higher than the offensive magic weapons and spirit weapons of the same level.
According to the introduction on the jade slip, this folding fan is called 'Gang Yao Fan', with the hard-to-find blue pot in the world as the fan bone, and the jade paper refined from the thousand-year-old Yao tree as the fan surface, and a large number of defensive runes are drawn in the refining process, which makes the defensive power of this Baguio fan greatly improved, and even reaches the limit that the lower grade spirit weapon can reach.
However, at the cost of improving its defensive effectiveness, this Baguio fan has lost its offensive power, which is not good news for many monks who have just built a foundation.
Not every monk can be like Fang Zhe, just after successfully building the foundation, he has already been given a medium-grade spiritual weapon, and now he can choose a second spiritual weapon.
Most monks, especially casual cultivators, have at most one spiritual weapon in their lifetime, even if they are newly promoted foundation building monks in the Qingjian Sect, most of them can only have one spiritual weapon in the early stage after foundation building, in this case, they prefer to choose both offensive and defensive spiritual weapons, or choose offensive spiritual weapons.
When they have the second or third spirit weapon, they will choose some specialized defensive spirit weapons.
And Fang Zhe is because of the dark spirit sword given by Li Yibai, so he will set his eyes on this Yao fan, now he has a lot of attack methods, and because of the sword cultivation supernatural power, it can be said that the attack power is far more than that of the same level of monks.
But his defensive means are very ordinary, this is the case during the Qi training period, and now that the foundation has been built, there has been no improvement, in the past, when fighting, Fang Zhe often used talismans as defensive means, or simply used offense instead of defense, and it was better to kill the enemy directly than any defensive means.
But no matter what, defense has always been a shortcoming of Fang Zhe, and if it goes on for a long time, it will inevitably capsize in the gutter, so when he saw this Yao fan, Fang Zhe didn't hesitate much, and said directly: "I want this Yao fan!"
Hearing that Fang Zhe wanted to fan Yao, the manager of the Internal Affairs Pavilion was stunned in advance, obviously some did not understand why Fang Zhe chose this way, in his experience, in the past, when those new disciples in the foundation building period chose spiritual weapons, they often liked both offensive and defensive or offensive weapons, especially the sword cultivation in the Qingjian Sect, so more than half of the people would choose flying swords.
It's really rare to choose defensive spiritual weapons.
However, after a little thought, he understood that this person was Li Yibai's personal disciple, and it was estimated that he already had other spiritual weapons given by Li Yibai in his hand, so he would choose a defensive spiritual weapon.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart, it is better to have a master in the Dan period as a backer, if I had a master in the Dan period, it is estimated that I would have already promoted my cultivation to the late stage of foundation building, and then looked for an opportunity to build a Dan.
Why is it still in the early stage of foundation building, in order to go further, I have to put down the time of cultivation and come to this internal affairs pavilion to serve as a steward, in order to be able to obtain more spirit stones to worship every month.
While sighing, envying Fang Zhe's luck, he turned back, and it didn't take long for him to have an extra jade box in his hand.
What this person thought in his heart, Fang Zhe naturally didn't care, after taking the jade box and opening it, Fang Zhe saw a jasper folding fan that had shrunk to just over an inch in size lying inside.
Reach out and take it out, and then slightly inject mana, this Yao fan is quickly expanded to the normal size of one foot, after opening, it can be seen that there is a picture of a lady painted on the fan surface, the young girl in the painting looks into the distance according to the river column, and there is a line of small words next to it: The water is endless, and the thoughts are endless. There are two small characters at the bottom: 瓐瑶.
The word "Lang Yao" seems to be the name of this folding fan, or the name of the girl in this painting, or the name of the refiner who refined this folding fan?
With the injection of mana, Fang Zhe was also able to sense the defensive runes carved in this folding fan, although he hadn't tried it, but Fang Zhe guessed that this fan could at least block the attack of the monks in the early stage of foundation building, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to live up to his reputation as a low-grade defensive spiritual weapon.
Taking the things, Fang Zhe didn't stay here for long, and ran to Taiqing Shanfang City again, after he built the foundation, he also needed to buy some things, such as flying treasures.
The flying treasure that Fang Zhe used in the past was a low-grade magic weapon, this magic weapon was already a little unable to keep up with his pace before Fang Zhe built the foundation, and now that the foundation was built, it was not good to continue to use the low-grade flying magic weapon.
Although Fang Zhe could fly directly with the sword at the critical moment, he couldn't fly with the sword all the time under normal times, it would consume too much mana, so he urgently needed to purchase a faster flying treasure.
In addition, he also needed to purchase some materials for refining middle-level runes, and now that his cultivation had reached the foundation building stage, his own cultivation had already allowed him to refine middle-level runes.
Although his talent for refining talismans is not high, it is barely a little bit, and it is estimated that he will not make much money by refining and selling them, and he does not have that time, but it is still okay to refine them for his own use.
Besides, the so-called retreat and penance cultivation is not about practicing the main exercises all day, but also about doing some other things to adjust one or two, or cultivating the sword spirit technique, or cultivating the Jingyuan sword technique, or simply refining the middle-level talismans.
After purchasing some materials for refining middle-level runes, Fang Zhe could go to the Classics Pavilion to find some classics for refining middle-level runes later.
But then when looking for flying treasures, Fang Zhe encountered a trouble, originally he wanted to buy a spirit-level flying spirit weapon, but after going to the shop opened by the Foreign Affairs Pavilion and asking, he was told that although there were spirit-level flying treasures in the Foreign Affairs Pavilion, the current Fang Zhe couldn't afford it at all.
For a low-grade flying spirit weapon, if you buy it directly with spirit stones, you need a full 40,000 spirit stones, and you need 30,000 contribution points to use contribution points.
This price directly stunned Fang Zhe, and he wondered why the price of spirit stones was higher than the price of contribution points.
All the spiritual weapons or other rare treasures in the Foreign Affairs Pavilion were originally intended to supply the disciples in the sect, but in order to let the disciples in the sect actively help the sect do things and participate in some tasks and the like, a lot of treasures, especially rare treasures, are priced with contribution points and spirit stones.
Moreover, the price of spirit stones is often extremely expensive, not even much cheaper than the market price outside, and it will only be cost-effective if it is exchanged for contribution points.
In most cases, the contribution points of the Qingjian Gate are more expensive than the same number of spirit stones, that is to say, if you use the contribution points to buy rare treasures such as flying sword spirit weapons, it will be much cheaper.
It's a pity that contribution points cannot be transferred between private individuals, and can only be earned by completing the tasks issued by the sect, otherwise many people will probably directly use spirit stones to acquire contribution points.
Fang Zhe has been in Qingjianmen for three years, and he has only participated in a training task once when he is full, and the contribution points he has earned are only a thousand points.
As for the spirit stones, he didn't have so many on him, although the spirit stones on his body were richer than the ordinary monks who had just built the foundation, but they were only seven or eight thousand spirit stones.
Fang Zhe was like this, and other ordinary foundation building period cultivators probably couldn't afford to buy a spirit weapon-level flying spirit weapon!
The price of high-level flying treasures is often three times or even four times more expensive than attack treasures of the same level!
An ordinary offensive spirit weapon is between 10,000 spirit stones, and the price varies with the difference in materials and power, some of the low power and even seven or eight thousand spirit stones can be bought, and the defense class is more expensive, but it is not too expensive.
However, this low-grade flying spirit weapon requires at least forty or fifty thousand spirit stones.
In fact, most of the monks in the foundation building period could not afford to use the flying treasures of the spirit weapon level, and only a few who were rich in the foundation building period could afford to use them.
Even if they are monks in the Dan period, many people can only take a top-grade or top-grade flying spirit weapon to make do, and as for the flying magic weapon, Li Yibai and Elder Hao, who have been famous for many years, can't take it out.
In other words, the flying treasures of the spirit weapon level are only prepared for those who are wealthy in the foundation building period monks and those who are shy in their pockets, as for ordinary foundation building stage monks, don't count on it.
In desperation, Fang Zhe had no choice but to buy a top-grade magic weapon immortal crane for temporary transportation, but even if it was a flying crane with a high-grade magic weapon, the price was not cheap, and he asked Fang Zhe for three thousand spirit stones, which was three times more expensive than a high-grade magic weapon!
This made Fang Zhe speechless, but he remembered that the lower-grade flying magic weapon was among the Qi cultivation period cultivators, but each person had one, how could it be that the high-grade flying magic weapon was so expensive, and the flying magic weapon at the spirit level became sky-high.
In the end, it was the people from the Foreign Affairs Pavilion who gave him a little explanation before he was relieved, it turned out that as the monk's cultivation became higher and higher, his own speed was getting faster and faster, so the speed of the flying treasure was also getting higher and higher, and the flying treasure refined from ordinary materials was not much faster than the monk's own speed at all, and this situation was more prominent the higher the level.
The materials used and the energy spent on refining a flying magic weapon are often much more than those of other types of magic weapons, which also causes the price of high-level flying magic weapons to be scarce, and the price of things is scarce, and the lack of this thing will naturally be more expensive.
As for the low-grade flying magic weapons, there are no monks who have speed requirements for them, for the late-stage Qi cultivators who have just come into contact with the flying of imperial objects, they can fly, as for the speed, anyway, they can run faster than them on the ground!
That's why the low-grade flying magic weapon is so easy to refine, and the price is cheap!
However, it is different for medium-grade and above flying magic weapons, because at this time, the monks have requirements for speed, and with the requirements, the source of materials is more scarce, and the refining is more difficult, so the price will naturally rise.
Fang Zhe was also a little speechless about this, but it was not impossible to use the top-grade flying magic weapon, anyway, his flying magic weapon was only used for daily travel, and he did not rely on the flying magic weapon to escape at the critical moment, but flew directly with the sword, so it didn't matter if he was slow.
Stepping on the new high-grade flying magic weapon Immortal Crane, Fang Zhe returned all the way back to Jin Lingfeng, just returned to Jin Lingfeng, he just wanted to try his Dark Spirit Sword and Gourd Yao Fan, now he was like a child who got a new toy, and he was very interested in how powerful his Dark Spirit Sword and Gourd Yao Fan were.
It's just that before he could start trying, Chen Gao's voice came from outside: "Senior Brother Fang!"
