Chapter 64: New Discoveries and New Changes
After Lin Quan turned into a black-robed monk and left Lingquanfang City easily, he directly used all his strength to escape more than 200 miles in one go, and in the next month, he hurried with all his strength except for the simplest rest and meditation. It wasn't until he finally escaped from Yuanzhou, left the territory of Wu, and came to Taizhou of Zheng that Lin Quan breathed a sigh of relief.
After stopping this escape for nearly a month, Lin Quan found a quiet place to stop after realizing that there was no danger anymore. After laying out an improvised maze around him, he began to sit down and rest.
Lin Quan was able to quickly escape from Source State in a month's time this time, mainly relying on the pair of cyan flying wings. Although the Flying Wings were not really flying magic weapons, they still exerted extremely fast speed under the urging of Lin Quan's spiritual power. In addition, Lingquanfang City was located to the west of Yuanzhou, not very far from Zheng Guo's Taizhou, so Lin Quan was able to escape to Zheng State within a month. It's just that, as a price, the lower-grade spirit stones consumed by Lin Quan are also extremely considerable.
This time, the reason why Lin Quan came to Zheng Guo's Taizhou was also planned by him a long time ago.
The first is that the Ruan family was originally the overlord of the eastern part of Yuanzhou, and it was also a subsidiary of the Qingyuan Sect Immortal Cultivation Family. And the Qingyuan Gate is the head of the four most powerful sects in the entire Great Wu Kingdom. As the strongest overlord in the Wu State Immortal Cultivation Realm, the entire Source State is its sphere of influence. Therefore, Lin Quan had to leave Yuanzhou just in case. It is even more important to leave the sphere of influence of the state of Wu. And Taizhou is in the southeast corner of Zhengguo, which is the closest to Yuanzhou.
The second is that in Lin Quan's original plan, the place he was going to next stop was somewhere in Taizhou, northeast of Yuanzhou. It's a win-win-win-win-win
Lin Quan knew the means used by Hongyan. However, in addition to being slightly dissatisfied, Lin Quan did not hold too much grudge against her. This is not to say that Lin Quan has any thoughts about Hongyan. Sometimes, for the sake of the interests of the family or sect, many people are helpless. Hongyan has always had any bad intentions or murderous intentions towards herself, she should simply want to recruit useful talents for her family. To put it bluntly, this is also the essence of the immortal cultivation world, a world where the weak eat the strong, and the strong are respected.
Besides, not only in the world of cultivating immortals, as long as there are people who have interests, then there will never be any fairness and justice. As long as you have the strength, then you can dominate everything.
This incident made Lin Quan feel a little. If you want to live forever, the first step is to at least let yourself stand at the top of this world. Freedom can only be guaranteed when you have enough strength yourself, otherwise you will become a vassal of others very sadly. Think about it, if a monk can't even use his own time freely, then no matter how good his qualifications are, he will not be able to achieve positive results.
After a month of arduous escape, Lin Quan did not feel any discomfort.
"Maybe I was born with a hard life, and since I embarked on this path of immortal cultivation and immortality, I have long been destined to be unable to live and work in peace and contentment like mortals. Lin Quan laughed at himself bitterly.
While laughing at himself, he also secretly calculated the next task for himself.
"It seems that the alchemy technique still has to be learned. Otherwise, if you want to cultivate in the future, you will be too restricted, and you will also waste the magic of this Yin Yin Pagoda in vain. I heard that the city of Ironwood Fang is very suitable. ”
Lingquanfang City is very good, but unfortunately no matter how good it is, it can't change the fact that it is only a small market. This kind of place where resources and immortal cultivators are scarce can only be used as a transition for Lin Quan, especially when he has successfully advanced to the late stage of Qi Condensation, if he still wants to continue to cultivate quickly, he will have to change places.
Lin Quan, who had long thought about these things, had already made various preparations not long ago. Therefore, at that time, after he bought a lot of immortal cultivation items unique to Lingquanfang City, he directly retreated and impacted the seventh layer of condensation.
Ren Hongyan and Fu Lao would not have guessed that Lin Quan was actually a strange master of cultivating the basic exercises of wood, fire, and earth at the same time. And he also accidentally got the ancient monk's "Five Elements True Explanation". So he immediately thought of a solution after learning about Hongyan's methods. So after he successfully broke through to the seventh layer of condensation qi in the wood system exercises, he immediately sprinted the earth system exercises with all his might. According to his original intention, he should be able to improve the earth system exercises a little bit in a month or so, but he can't stop it when his luck comes, and this "Thick Earth Decision" suddenly reached the seventh layer of condensation at the same time as the latecomer.
Lin Quan's real destination in Taizhou is 'Tiemufang City'. It was a very popular medium-sized market.
After many inquiries by Lin Quan, he learned that the immortal cultivation qualifications in this Tiemufang City were relatively richer, and the number of immortal cultivators was also more. And the most important thing for Lin Quan is that there are many alchemists who have lived here for many years. This also made the alchemy of the entire Tiemufang City extremely sophisticated, and in this way, it attracted more scattered cultivators from all over the world and people who needed pills.
What Lin Quan wanted to learn most now was alchemy. Therefore, if you learn alchemy in Tiemufang City, where alchemy is relatively popular and there are many alchemists, it will definitely not be too conspicuous. As long as he learns alchemy, then he will be able to refine a large number of various pills he needs. In this way, there is no need to be restrained everywhere, and even spirit stones dare not buy pills.
After resting for a while, Lin Quan immediately took out the map and carefully identified the direction, and only after making sure that he was not lost did he put his mind at ease. He reached into his arms with his right hand and took out two fresh and fat fish out of thin air. After skillfully washing and peeling, set up a fire and start grilling.
Being able to eat the unique 'jade fish' of Lingquanfang City at any time is also one of the benefits brought to Linquan by Tai Chi Space. Moreover, after Lin Quan successfully broke through to the seventh layer of condensation, the Taiji space at this time had changed again.
Today, the whole space has the size of 70 zhang square. All the places have also been carefully planned by Lin Quan. And each area was separated by a faintly colored light curtain.
This new colored light curtain was discovered by accident. The cause of the incident was that the spirit grass and spirit valley he had worked so hard to grow were wasted by the livestock and hares that were raised in the Tai Chi space. In order to protect these important things, Lin Quan's mind moved, and this colored light curtain appeared. Ever since he pulled up this ban between the regions, he no longer had to worry about the loss of his treasure.
The four ponds that had been dug a long time ago are now fully utilized, and two of the ponds are stocked with "jade fish" and "white shrimp" respectively. These two kinds of fish and shrimp are the most famous special ingredients in Lingquanfang City. This kind of fish and shrimp, which is born with a small amount of spiritual power, is the same as those spiritual valleys, and long-term consumption will slightly improve the monk's physique and increase some spiritual power in a small amount. Lin Quan started thinking after a chance tasting, and after a period of operation, he slowly had his own fish pond. When he remembered that he could still enjoy the special jade fish of Lingquanfang City every day after he was far away from Lingquanfang City, Lin Quan was also complacent, and secretly praised his previous wise move.
In fact, what Lin Quan didn't know was that the monks who had this idea of him had already tried this method, because who didn't want to raise a pool of jade fish at home and use it at any time. However, all the monks who had this idea failed, and I don't know why, once these jade fish left the Xianshui River here, they would definitely die in less than a month, and even if someone made a great effort to take a large amount of Xianshui River water at the same time, the monk could not change this fact. After a long time, no one wanted to move for these jade fish anymore. The reason why Lin Quan was able to succeed is also the credit of the Taiji space.
In addition, the Yin-Yang Pagoda is also planted with various spiritual grasses. In addition, a small separate area is specially separated from a small corner of the Yin-Yang Pagoda. There are only a dozen or so black grass flowers planted here.
He didn't know what kind of spirit grass they were until he bought the seeds, and he didn't recognize them until they were all ripe. It turns out that the black grass is the 'Yin Soul Grass', and the flower that looks like a human face is the 'Demon Face Flower'. According to the introduction of the classics, most of these yin-attribute spirit grasses are things that are only used by some ghost cultivators and demon cultivators, and of course they also have other special functions. What made Lin Quan happiest was that it was said that these yin-attribute spirit grasses could only grow in places where yin qi was extremely heavy or in some very special environment. Now, these spirit grasses with special requirements for the environment can also grow smoothly in the Yin-Yang Tower, which also gives Lin Quan a more intuitive understanding of the anti-heaven aspects of the Yin-Yang Tower. In view of the scarcity of these spirit grasses, in the spirit of killing mistakes and not letting go, he deliberately set aside a small area in the tower to prepare for planting them in the future.
In fact, since Lin Quan discovered the anti-heaven attribute of the Yin Yang Tower, he had also tried to fight the idea of that kind of black soil, but that kind of black soil did not have any effect of ripening the spirit grass at all after it was taken out, at best, it was just a little more spiritual power than ordinary soil. This also bothered Lin Quan for a long time.
It wasn't until he discovered that the Yin Attribute Spirit Grass could also grow smoothly in the Yin Yang Pagoda that Lin Quan began to wake up. The black soil is not the reason for the ripening of the spirit grass, the mist that permeates the entire tower is the main one. After entering and exiting the Yin-Yang Pagoda so many times, Lin Quan had already discovered that the mist was emitted from the Taiji diagram in the center of the tower, and to be precise, it should be produced by the mixture of two mist emanations, one yin and one yang, emitted from the Taiji diagram.
This mist composed of a mixture of yin and yang qi amazed Lin Quan, but he searched through all the classics at hand and couldn't find any introduction to this mist. In the end, I can only give up for the time being.
