Chapter 34: Qutaifang City
Lin Zhuowen finally ushered in a period of rapid improvement in his strength.
With Tang Xiaoling's false holy decree and Ji Miaobai's future apprenticeship, Lin Zhuowen could finally take over the task of refining the three elixirs, the Qi Benefiting Pill and the Eight Treasure Pill, at will.
The refining results of these three pills of the sect are also more demanding, but they will make some compensation on the spirit stone, after all, this is a relatively important pill resource, and the sect hopes to reserve as much as possible, but even so, Lin Zhuowen can ensure that there is a lot of surplus after completing the alchemy task every time, after all, his success rate and top-grade rate are extremely high, with those alchemy techniques taught by Ji Miaobai, Lin Zhuowen can even occasionally refine a ten-layer top-grade pill.
In addition to Lin Zhuowen's hand-in, all the other pills were left to eat by himself, and others needed to meditate and absorb the medicinal power after eating, and he directly wrote this step into a program, so he could continue to refine the pill while cultivating, and after the medicinal power of the pill was almost absorbed, the program would automatically remind him to take the medicine.
Lin Zhuowen treats himself as a professional medicine jar, he eats it when he arrives, and never delays, he is now renting a separate alchemy room, although it is expensive, but it can save a lot of trouble, otherwise it is not a good thing for people to see him eating pills like jelly beans all day long.
Lin Zhuowen felt that taking the pill was like opening an experience chest in the game, although the cost was a little bigger, but as long as he was willing to invest, the experience level was faster than riding a rocket, especially for a five-line miscellaneous spirit root like himself who cultivated turtle speed.
The effect of the elixir is not affected by the spiritual root, the single line of the heavenly spirit root and the five series of miscellaneous spirit roots are the same effect when eaten, the spirit root only affects the absorption of the spiritual power of the immortal cultivator in the world outside the body, while the elixir contains a large amount of absorbable spiritual power inside, which is directly sent into the body of the person who takes it.
Soon, Lin Zhuowen reached the fourth level of Qi training, followed by the fifth and sixth levels of Qi training......
Lin Zhuowen originally thought that he would continue like this forever, but when the task manager told him that there were no refining tasks for the Qi Benefiting Pill and the Eight Treasure Pills that could be accepted, he was dumbfounded.
After asking again, I learned that because of Lin Zhuowen's crazy alchemy, the main materials of these three pills had been used up, so it was impossible to release the corresponding alchemy task in a short period of time.
Because of the large market demand, these materials are expensive on the market, and it is difficult to buy, and even if they can be bought, they are expensive, so they are generally collected and cultivated by the sect themselves, so the reserve is not very large.
When asked about how long this short period of time was, the disciples in charge couldn't say clearly, only saying that it should be as short as one or two years, or as long as ten or eight years.
Lin Zhuowen didn't have a rule, so he could only take the library to continue to improve the number of jù libraries, and by the way, he also wanted to enrich his game skills by looking for some magic tricks, and the level was raised, so he naturally had to learn the corresponding advanced skills.
Another year has passed, Lin Zhuowen found that the three pills that can improve the cultivation of the Qi cultivation period still have not released the refining task, he is a little unable to sit still, since he finished eating the pills he accumulated half a year ago, his cultivation has hardly improved, after experiencing the speed of riding a rocket, the cultivation that is purely improved by cultivation is really a bit unsightly, who can stand it if he is used to being an airplane and let him walk?
I looked at the time in the computer, and calculated it, it has been seven years since I crossed into this world, and I am thirty-three years old this year, although I am not old, but I can't wait, and there are still five years that is the ten-year Dan Capture Conference of the Machine Spirit Sect, and I am currently only practicing Qi at the seventh level, if I can't improve my cultivation to more than the ninth layer of Qi cultivation by then, then I will have to wait for another ten years, which is definitely not what I want.
And there is a saying in the cultivation world that "building a foundation after the age of forty is not one out of ten", which means that one out of ten people who build a foundation after the age of forty may not be successful, although it is not clear the specific reason for this, but since everyone is so verbal, it naturally makes sense, and Lin Zhuowen does not want to use his future to verify it.
So Lin Zhuowen decided to go out of the mountain and go to the nearest Qutaifang City.
Qutaifang City is a Fang City set up and managed by the Instrument Spirit Sect, and it can be reached in about a day and a night north of the Seven Flames Mountains.
Of course, this day and night distance refers to the distance of the monk's imperial weapon during the foundation building period, Lin Zhuowen only used a flying magic weapon, and the non-stop flight along the way, the spirit stone burned a lot, but it also took three days to arrive.
From a distance, Fang City is actually a small town located between dangerous mountains and mountains, and there are many monks on the streets, but it is very quiet and orderly, and there is no noise in the town before Lin Zhuowen travels.
There will be a no-fly magic circle in the market, Lin Zhuowen can only be the same as everyone else, collect the flying disk, and enter from the entrance of the market in a regular manner, in Lin Zhuowen's view, this is actually a means of management, so that there is only one entrance and exit of the market, even if someone misbehaves in it, then the manager of the market only needs to block the exit to catch turtles in the urn.
There was no one to check at the entrance of Fang City, only two black-clothed guards were standing, Lin Zhuowen's spiritual eye technique could not see their cultivation, they should be monks above the foundation building period, and there were no patrol personnel in Fang City, but Lin Zhuowen knew that if there was a fight here and something forbidden in Fang City, there would be law enforcement officers from Fang City coming immediately, and as far as Lin Zhuowen learned, this Fang City has Elder Jindan in charge all the year round.
Lin Zhuowen entered several shops dealing in alchemy materials, and found that there were no main materials for the three pills for sale, even if there were one or two occasionally, the quantity was very small, the price was ridiculously high, and the quality was not high, and the medicinal properties were insufficient.
Lin Zhuowen asked again if there were any of these three pills for sale, which were also very few, and the price was extremely high, which was not cost-effective, in Lin Zhuowen's opinion, this must be related to the fact that the major immortal cultivation sects were hoarding these pills and materials as reserve resources.
Lin Zhuowen originally thought that he might be able to gain something by slamming his luck in the market, but he didn't want to be disappointed.
Lin Zhuowen was not in a hurry to return to the Machine Spirit Sect, but planned to find an inn in Fang City to live in and slowly think of a way, the outer disciples of the Machine Spirit Sect only have one chance to go down the mountain once a year without a mission, and if they want to come out again after going back, they will have to wait until next year.
It turns out that the first chain store Yuelai Inn has not yet opened to the world of cultivating immortals, and Lin Zhuowen took a turn in Fang City and only found a Liuxian Inn.
For several days, Lin Zhuowen wandered around the market.
There didn't seem to be mortals in Qutaifang City, and Lin Zhuowen found that even if the work in the hotel was a cultivator, although the cultivation was very weak, he only practiced the first or second layer of qi.
The cultivators who come and go in Qutaifang City are mainly in the Qi refining period, and although there are some above the foundation building period, there are not many.
Qutaifang City is mainly divided into two large areas, shop pù district and wild stall area, shop pù area needless to say, it is naturally a place where shops are concentrated, and wild stall area is the place where monks set up stalls, although the shops in the market also buy various items, but the shops do business naturally to talk about profits, buy low and sell high is the basic principle, if there are monks who are not satisfied with the purchase price, and they have time, they can hand over a small amount of spirit stones in the field stall area to rent a stall to set up their own stalls.
There is another name for the wild stall area, which is called the leakage area, because most of the monks who set up stalls here are mainly casual cultivators, and their knowledge is limited, and they will occasionally see some wrong items, do not know the real treasure, and sell good things as rotten cabbage.
The loose cultivation here refers to those monks who have no sect and no sect, and these monks are often not favored by the major sects because of their natural qualifications, so they naturally cannot enjoy the book collection resources in the sect, and their knowledge is naturally inferior to that of the monks from the major sects.
Lin Zhuowen has the ability to identify, although he can't know everything in the world, but the general items are fine, after learning the allusion of the leakage area, how can he not go around?
However, Lin Zhuowen was soon disappointed, there may be people who picked up leaks in the wild stall area, but there are definitely not many, more are pitted.
As soon as he entered the wild stall area, at the most eye-catching stall facing the entrance, Lin Zhuowen saw a fist-sized emerald green stone, and next to the stone was marked a small sign "Pine Stone, priced at two hundred lower grade spirit stones", this price was almost twice as expensive for such a large pine stone, but Lin Zhuowen noticed that there was some crystal light in the cracks of the pine stone.
Lin Zhuowen's heart moved, could it be that the stall owner was mistaken, this emerald stone is actually a green fairy stone?
The green fairy stone itself has no value, but its interior may give birth to exquisite jade, this exquisite jade is extraordinary, the value is invaluable, even a piece the size of a fingernail can be sold for ten thousand spirit stones.
The appearance and color of turquoise and green fairy stone are very similar, if the stall owner does not know the goods, it is not impossible to recognize the mistake.
"This pine stone ......" Lin Zhuowen thought that this might be the first leak he picked up, how could he not get close to take a look, but he just got close and wanted the stall owner to show him the pine stone, but he didn't want to suddenly cut in a voice next to him.
"I want this turquoise. "It was a somewhat thin monk who interjected, looking about forty years old, but his appearance was a little flattering, his two eyes were very small, not much bigger than the eyes of a mouse, if it wasn't for the good light during the day, Lin Zhuowen almost thought that it was just a larger black mole, only a second-level cultivation of Qi training.
"But this fellow Taoist came first. The stall owner was a big man with a beard on his face, and when he saw someone fighting, he immediately picked up the stone and held it in his hand, as if he was afraid that others would come and grab it.
"This fellow Daoist, I am willing to give you two hundred lower grade spirit stones, and you will ...... this piece of green How about giving this piece of turquoise stone to you?" the rat-eyed monk immediately bowed his hand to Lin Zhuowen.
Lin Zhuowen said in his heart, is there such a good thing? Could it be that this stone is really a green fairy stone? Otherwise, how could this rat-eyed monk be willing to pay such a high price to buy a piece of turquoise stone? And the crystal light that appeared in the crack of the stone just now was also very similar to the characteristics of exquisite jade.
Lin Zhuowen was silent, wanting to take another look at the stone, but found that the stall owner was holding the stone tightly with both hands, and he couldn't see it at all.
"Fellow Daoist, can you show me the pine stone?" Lin Zhuowen said to the stall owner.
"No, what if you take it and refuse to take it out again......? This turquoise stone is also very desirable in the next. The Rat Eye Monk immediately stopped.
Lin Zhuowen frowned, to buy or not to buy? Looking at the appearance of this rat-eyed monk, it is very likely that he believes that this turquoise stone is actually a green fairy stone, and it is a green fairy stone that gave birth to exquisite jade, so he will definitely make a lot of money if he buys it, but what if it is not a green fairy stone?
