Practice begins with a fisherman

Chapter 47 Lingtian Development Plan

Previously, due to misestimating the price of first-order low-grade instruments and array flags, the spiritual stones harvested during the last trip to the Purple Jade Mountains did not purchase all the required spiritual materials. This time, there are a lot of spiritual stones. Supplement is a good opportunity to purchase.

For example, the first-level low-grade spirit pills needed for cultivation, the spirit beast pills needed for the first-level low-grade spirit beast cormorants, the earth-shaking hoe needed for the development of the spiritual fields near the spiritual veins of the cave, and the seeds of the first-level low-grade spirit rice, etc. can all be replenished whole.

It is also a rather sad thing to say, from stepping into the road of cultivation until now, my cultivation base has been promoted to the third level of Qi training, and I have worked hard several times during this period, but I have never been willing to buy some Lingmi to satisfy my hunger.

The output of a qualified spiritual field is not much, but for a monk, it is an important measure to consolidate the foundation. The most valuable thing for some long-standing sect families is the elixir garden that regularly produces precious elixir.

Therefore, Zhao Shoushou was extremely excited after having his own cave and the preliminary judgment that it could be used to open up spiritual fields. If the weapons and array flags were more important, the first-level low-grade spiritual rice had already been planted.

Compared with other treasures such as magic tools, talisman seals, etc., the development of the spiritual field needs enough time to operate. The most important thing at present is to develop and plant a small spiritual field in the cave as soon as possible.

The area and grade of the spiritual field are directly proportional to the grade and strength of the spiritual veins, and grow with the growth of the spiritual veins. If one day the spiritual veins in the cave have a chance to be promoted to the second or even higher third rank, the spiritual Tian will also become stronger and stronger.

"The sale of loot and the purchase of resources need to be carried out at the cormorant lake meeting. It is the best policy to quickly return to the cave to raise the two snake eggs to ensure the integrity of the life breath." After confirming that there are no omissions, Zhao Shoushou drives the boat Ready to return to Dongfu.

The hatching of low-grade black water snake eggs requires a lot of spiritual power. If there is no female snake to hatch, only in a place with abundant spiritual power can the existence of life breath be guaranteed, otherwise it will become a dead egg without vitality after a long time.

There is still half a month before the start of the next cormorant lake meeting. During this period of time, Zhao Shoushou, apart from practicing, firstly confirms the area and scope of the spiritual fields that can be reclaimed.

In addition to considering whether the field meets the spirit field standard, the opening of the first-level low-grade spirit field also needs to consider the endurance of the spirit veins. Whether it is the growth of spirit rice or spirit medicine, it needs to consume spirit power. In addition, Zhao Shoushou usually Once the need for cultivation exceeds the tolerance range of the spiritual vein, its foundation and future development will be lost.

Lingtian plays an important role in the process of a monk's practice, but after all, it is to provide resources for practice, and it must not be put the cart before the horse. The first priority of the spiritual pulse in the cave is still to meet his practice needs.

It is precisely because of the above-mentioned reasons that Zhao Shoushou must carefully plan not to overuse and consume the foundation of the already weak spiritual veins, and also not to waste the already abundant spiritual power. It is the most appropriate balance to strike a balance.

"The snake eggs are in front, and the refined iron shield is in the back. They don't affect each other and everything will be fine." Half an hour later, Zhao Shoushou returned to the cave to settle all the black water snake eggs, and felt a little relieved when the breath of life in them stabilized.

After being nourished and impacted by spiritual power, most of the yin energy left by the black-clothed ghost cultivator on the fine iron shield, a low-grade defensive magic weapon, has dissipated. According to calculations, it should be able to restore its original appearance before the cormorant lake meeting begins.

However, Zhao Shoushou didn't show any anxiety at all. Restricted by the third level of Qi training, he could barely control a first-level low-grade magic weapon in battle. Choose between the water fork and it.

"Although the spiritual veins are weak, the area that reaches the level of a low-grade spiritual field is not small. Twelve steps horizontally and seven steps vertically can plant 84 plants of low-grade spiritual rice of the next level." After a simple measurement, Zhao Shoushou Cheerful.

The first-order low-grade spiritual rice is only the lowest-level spiritual thing, but the distance between each plant has clear requirements. After each plant of the first-order low-grade spiritual rice matures, you can get half a catty of spiritual rice. Each season can get 42 catties of Lingmi.

In the early stage of Qi training, monks only need three taels of Lingmi to meet the needs of the body every day. Even if they eat Lingmi every day, it can meet the needs of 150 six days. If one piece of Lingshi buys three catties of Lingmi, Zhao Shoushou only needs to raise another eleven or two low-grade spirit stones to meet his needs for a year.

Long-term consumption of first-grade low-grade Lingmi can remove impurities in the body and nourish the body. Although it does not have a particularly obvious effect on improving the cultivation base, it will naturally have the effect of water dripping through stone if it accumulates over time.

In half a month, Zhao Shoushou was obsessed with cultivation most of the time except tidying up the cave. In the blink of an eye, he had been promoted to the third level of Qi training for nearly a year, and his cultivation was improving every day. Now he has reached the point of practicing The middle stage of the three layers of air.

If everything goes well, with the help of the spirit pill, it only takes half a year to try to break through the bottleneck and advance to the middle stage of Qi training. Once promoted to the middle stage of Qi training, the improvement in combat effectiveness is very obvious.

This day is still the old rule, one boat, one person and two cormorants appeared on time on the small island used by the Cormorant Lake Xiaohui. After being promoted to the third level of Qi training, it is quite emotional to return to the old place, compared to the first time. It can be said to be full of confidence at this time.

The storage bag at the waist, the magic tools, spiritual herbs, and spiritual materials in the bag, and the low-grade spirit beasts of the first rank closely following him, it can be said that it is quite different from a shotgun to a cannon, all of which are the source of confidence.

"But I haven't seen you for a year. Brother Zhao's cultivation level has improved again. You are indeed a rising star among the monks on Cormorant Island. But this time you come here because you need to sell spiritual objects?" Appearing enthusiastically in front of Zhao Shoushou with an extremely disproportionate speed.

"Shopkeeper Liu, you are being polite. You and I have known each other for several years, so I would like to ask Shopkeeper Zhao to estimate the price." Zhao Shoushou took out the spiritual objects that were going to be sold from the storage bag one by one without hesitation.

"Brother Zhao, how many lairs of low-level water attribute monsters have you robbed? The harvest is so rich? Four low-level water plants, four low-level water king lilies, six low-level high-purity crystal raw ore, 15 How about Yuan Xiapin Lingshi?" The chubby Shopkeeper Liu seemed loyal but treacherous.

"No, there are still some treasures here." Instead of bargaining, Zhao Shoushou took out the snake skin and eggs of the black water snake, and the scheming shopkeeper Liu naturally understood the deep meaning.

"Black water snake eggs, black water snake skin, brother Zhao is very capable. These are genuine first-tier low-grade peak-level monsters. How about 12 yuan for low-grade spirit stones?" Shopkeeper Liu decisively quoted a new price, and compared the two Basically the same as the market price.

"27 low-grade spirit stones, deal." Soon the money and goods were cleared, and Zhao Shoushou began to search for suitable targets on the small island that had gradually become bustling.

27 pieces of low-grade spirit stones is not much, and it is not much, but if you want to buy enough spirit stones, you need to calculate carefully.

Chapter 48 Has a Female Name "Baibai"

The first-grade low-grade Qi Xing San sells for three low-grade spirit stones each, the first-grade low-grade spirit beast pills sells for two low-grade spirit stones each, and the first-grade low-grade spiritual rice seed has a low-grade spirit stone forty pieces, which are used to open up spirits. Tian's Earthquake hoe three low-grade spirit stones.

"The effect of the first-level low-ranking qi powder is getting smaller and smaller, and the third level of Qi training needs to be replaced with new pills." The sad-faced Zhao Shoushou was calculating how to maximize the effect of the limited spirit stones.

The first-order low-ranking qi powder was originally the most appropriate and suitable panacea to be taken in the early stage of qi training, but with the improvement of cultivation base, it has obviously lagged a bit, and this trip is also to buy new elixir.

After all, the better the effect of the spirit pill, the faster the cultivation base can be improved, and it can help to raise the cultivation base to the fourth level of Qi training as soon as possible. His goal is the first-order low-grade water attribute spirit pill, Shui Yuandan.

It is also a low-grade spirit pill of the first rank, Xingqi Powder does not have any attributes that are suitable for all monks in the early stage of Qi training, and all the water essence pills contain pure water spiritual power, which is naturally more effective for monks with water attributes.

Since the effect is better, the price of the spirit pill will naturally be a little more expensive. Each first-order low-grade water yuan pill is priced at four low-grade spirit stones, and it is not openly supplied.

"This fellow Taoist is very polite. I don't know how to sell the earth-shattering hoe and the spiritual rice seeds?" Zhao Shoushou, the casual repair stall area, stopped in front of a stall in a remote corner.

The stall owner was a pretty, petite female nun. Compared to other stall owners who were enthusiastically yelling at and attracting customers, this one was obviously a novice. In addition, there were no eye-catching treasures on the stall, so there was no The monk stayed.

Zhao Shoushou chose to stop here, not because of the petite and lovely female stall owner, but because of the Lingmi seeds that had been carefully cultivated on the stall and were of higher quality and obviously better.

"Spirit rice seeds are a piece of low-grade spirit stones and fifty pieces. If you buy more than [-] pieces, you can give ten pieces as a gift. There are also seeds of spirit flowers and grass, all of which have been carefully cultivated," said the petite and lovely female cultivator. When it came to the price, a shy look appeared on the slightly baby-fat face, obviously not good at bargaining.

"Is this earth-shaking hoe for sale?" Turning the subject, his eyes had already focused on another hoe-shaped spiritual object that was only [-]% new, and it was the earth-shaking hoe necessary for opening up spiritual fields.

"Although this earth-shattering hoe is a bit old, the lines are complete and there is no damage at all. It will not affect the cultivation of spirit fields on weekdays. You only need two low-grade spirit stones." After a little introduction, the female cultivator showed a trace of shame again red.

Judging from the female cultivator's attire, it is obvious that she does not come from a famous sect, but is likely to come from a loose cultivator or a declining family. Her cultivation base is not high, she is on the first or second level of Qi Refining, she is so easily shy, she really does not know how to work hard in the cultivation world .

"How about this earth-shaking hoe and 84 first-grade low-grade spiritual rice, a total of three low-grade spiritual stones?" Facing the beautiful female cultivator, Zhao Shoushou did not show any mercy when he offered a price.

"Each spiritual rice seed is carefully conceived in spiritual water. The price of the earth-shaking hoe is already the lowest. How about four low-grade spiritual stones and a ground-turning earthworm larva as a gift?" The shy female cultivator proposed another discount. middle plan.

Earthworms belong to the weakest first-order low-grade spirit insects, without any attack power. The main body evolved from the most common earthworms in the mundane world after devouring the spiritual soil. Naturally, its function is the same to make the spiritual field softer.

Earthworms are not considered precious spiritual insects, but they are in high demand, so most of the stalls will be ready to sell or as extras to make money to facilitate transactions.

It should be noted that mowing earthworms belong to asexual reproduction. After they grow to a certain length, they will automatically split into two and turn into two brand new life forms. This is also their unique way of inheritance.

The most surprising thing is that earthworms will judge the carrying capacity according to the area and grade of the spiritual field where they are located. Once the critical point is reached, all reproduction will stop by itself.

"Earthworm is also a good spiritual thing, and it was sold." After thinking about it for a while, I finally felt that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. There are small things like earthworms that have a significant effect on increasing the yield of spiritual rice.

"Fellow daoists, do you need to buy other spiritual objects?" The petite and lovely female cultivator shyly recommended. For an unpopular stall, the opportunity to earn spiritual stones every day is too rare. When you meet a relatively well-off The presence of the monks is really a rare opportunity.

"Zhao has purchased all the things he needs today. It seems that the fellow Taoist is quite unfamiliar, but he just came to the cormorant lake for a small meeting recently? Take the liberty to ask the name of the fellow daoist? In the future, if there is a need, he will definitely consider trading with the fellow daoist first." Take a detour The tactical Zhao Shoushou asked the most critical question decisively.

Of course, this does not mean that the so-called love at first sight occurred at this moment, nor does it mean that there is something to do, it is just a subconscious reaction of a male monk seeing a beautiful female monk.

As for whether there will be further development with the petite, cute, beautiful and kind female stall owner in the future, it can only depend on the fate of the two in the future?It is also a good choice to have a companion on the vast journey of practice.

"The little girl Bai Bai comes from the Bai family in Shanxi County, but she just recently participated in the cormorant lake meeting. If Brother Zhao has any needs in the future, please contact me, and the younger sister will definitely do her best." No matter what the purpose is, Bai Bai happily introduced Own.

Shanxi County also belongs to Xianzhou, and it is not too far away from Lumorant County. The monks between the two counties often have some necessary exchanges.

However, he has never heard of the cultivating family named "Bai Family". Judging from Bai Bai's current distressed state, it should be a small family that has declined or is on the rise.

In the realm of comprehension, when many monks feel that there is no hope for improving their cultivation base, most of them will have the idea of ​​​​creating a family of cultivators. Among them, there are some powerful ones, but nine out of ten are small families in the refining period, and their status is only relatively low. Casual repair is slightly stronger.

"Zhao is a local monk in Lumoran County. He has been hanging out in the Lumoran Lake for several years. If someone with malicious intentions harass him, I will definitely help him with all my strength. I still need to buy some other items today. I will bid farewell for the next time. We'll see you at the 晶湖小会" After she finished speaking, before Bai Bai had any reaction, she disappeared without a trace while she was dumbfounded.

A monk pursues the Dao with all his heart, but he does not require to be pure-hearted and ascetic to get rid of everything. There are many fairy companions in the cultivation world. There is no doubt about it.

In the world of self-cultivation, there are also some exercises that have special requirements for practice. Before reaching a certain level, it is absolutely impossible to practice double cultivation. Obviously, the popular exercise "Ripple Gong" is not in this sequence.

Although there is a bit of a vague liking, but as a monk with a firm heart who wants to go further on the road of cultivation, Zhao Shoushou obviously will not delay his cultivation because of a female cultivator. Sluggish.

Chapter 49 The Legendary Planting

"What a strange person, what can a monk who is a third-level qi practitioner help? But he is an interesting person, weird and cute." Looking at the disappearing figure, Bai Bai whispered to himself with a smile on his face .

But then he looked at the low-level spirits on the booth that had hardly decreased a little, and there was a trace of sadness between his eyes and brows. Seeing that the Cormorant Lake meeting was already halfway through, there was no monk except Zhao Shoushou.

The main reason for the lag in the sale of spiritual items is that the level of spiritual items is too low, and the variety has no characteristics. The main reason is that there are all spiritual items in every stall. Another important reason is that Baibai does not know how to attract customers.

However, Zhao Shoushou naturally didn't know the first impression he left on Bai Bai. The most important thing for him now was how to maximize the effect of the only 25 low-grade spirit stones left in the storage bag.

"Quack quack!" The two first-rank low-grade cormorants flapped their wings and screamed loudly, apparently trying to get the owner's attention, as if to remind him not to forget the first-rank low-grade spirit beast pills he had promised.

"Two foodies, you'd better be quiet or cancel the reward of the spirit beast pill." Zhao Shoushou's threats were always simple and effective, and the heads of the two cormorants drooped instantly. Obviously, the effect of the spirit beast pill was immediate.

"Two low-grade first-grade spirit beast pills, five low-grade first-grade water pills, but I don't know if they can help Zhao to reach the peak in the early stage of Qi training." After thinking about it for a while, he finally made his final decision.

If you cancel the first-level low-grade spirit beast pills, you can buy six first-level low-grade water yuan pills, but the two cormorants have already shown their value in several battles.

If he trains carefully in the future to be able to keep up with his progress, he can be regarded as two good helpers in the vast realm of comprehension. In the future, the title of "Cormorant Lord" after building a foundation and even condensing the golden core is equally beautiful.

The first choice for purchasing spirit pills is still the mysterious black tent that will never be absent every time. No matter who comes, as long as they have spirit stones, they can open up and provide various first-level spirit pills. After spending 24 low-grade spirit stones, Zhao Shoushou is ready to set foot on the wooden boat to prepare Return to the cave where Cormorant Island is located.

The planting, growth, and maturity of spiritual rice in the realm of comprehension also have certain rules. Right now is the best time to plant spiritual rice. If you don't want to miss this opportunity, you must return to the cave as soon as possible to open up spiritual fields.

It is not easy to open up a spiritual field. The first hurdle is naturally to pave the field with a hardness comparable to that of bluestone with a ground hoe to ensure that there is no piece of spiritual soil larger than wood, and then it needs to be filled with spiritual spring water. Irrigation infiltration, this process takes a full three days.

During the irrigation period of the spiritual spring water, all the spiritual fields need to be submerged. This process is also to ensure the balance of spiritual power. This is also the reason for the excitement after discovering the spiritual spring water.

Moreover, the breeding of spiritual rice seeds needs to go through two processes of selection and infiltration. This eye of living water and spiritual spring is also the most appropriate place. With the strengthening of spiritual veins in the future, it can even infiltrate the seeds of high-grade elixir.

If it wasn't for the spiritual spring water in the cave, it would cost at least three low-grade spiritual stones for this alone. If there is a sufficient supply of spiritual spring water during the growth of spiritual rice, the harvest can be increased by at least one-third.

This shows the importance of Lingquan water to Zhigeng at a glance. If the news of Lingquan water in the cave leaks out, there must be many powerful Zhigeng coming to snatch it.

Planting is also a kind of monk. They mainly make a living by planting various spiritual flowers and grasses on weekdays. These monks mainly live in groups in the form of immortal cultivating families.

Its strength is very strong. In the realm of comprehension, there is even a Zhigeng Association. Its function is similar to that of alchemists. And issued the planting grade brand.

However, most of the low-level cultivators are basically the same as alchemists, and there are always a small number of cultivators recognized by the cultivator association. Most of the cultivators in the huge group of casual cultivators plant low-level spiritual rice.

Compared with Lingmi, which is easy to grow and does not have high requirements for the living environment, even the lowest-level elixir needs to open up a special elixir garden, and the requirements for lingtian and lingmai will be higher, which is far from Zhao Shoushou. The current weak spiritual veins in the cave can be compared.

The income of low-level cultivation is not high, but it is stable and has fixed sales channels. The income of high-level cultivation of elixir is even more expensive. The annual fixed production of relatively high-grade elixir can basically meet the needs of cultivation .

Especially for some real high-grade elixir, it takes hundreds of years to mature each time, and each plant needs to be exchanged with real treasures. Of course, only powerful families and sects with orderly inheritance have the opportunity to cultivate.

All of this is still too far away from Zhao Shoushou who opened up the spiritual field for the first time. Now he is working hard to complete the cultivation of the spiritual field and plant the spiritual rice seeds in his hand.

Zhao Shoushou held the earth-shaking hoe in his hand, and whenever the hoe fell, the spiritual power in the dantian would also enter the unique spirit pattern of the earth-shaking hoe along the fixed meridian. Smashed into pieces of spiritual soil.

Even though he is already at the third level of Qi training, the consumption of spiritual power in this process should not be underestimated, and the development of a small spiritual field has been persisted in the same way.

The first time smashed the positive piece of spiritual field, the second time smashed the spiritual soil into small pieces, and the third time smashed the spiritual soil into powder. Only after this cycle can we enter the spiritual water infiltration stage.

"It is too difficult to open up spiritual fields, and the income from planting spiritual rice is meager. Relying on planting can only be supplemented. Hunting monsters is the kingly way." Feeling the difficulty of opening up spiritual fields, Zhao Shoushou completed the infiltration after three days and actually made a song Self-deprecating doggerel.

After the development of the spiritual field is completed, the next step is naturally to plant the spiritual rice seeds purchased at the cormorant lake small meeting. Each spiritual rice is one step apart from the front, back, left, and right. The planting pit is five centimeters deep and two centimeters wide. Only one spiritual rice seed is allowed to exist in the pit, and then moistened with spiritual water, it will germinate and grow after ten days and nights.

The planting and growth of the most common spiritual rice is so complicated, and the elixir of various grades is even more so, even if it is only a low-grade one, it is far superior to spiritual rice, and the planting and growth of each elixir are different and different. Special features need to be adapted to local conditions and cannot be generalized.

The importance of Zhigeng is naturally unquestionable. Whether it is a major sect or a monk with great powers in casual cultivation, if you want to continue moving forward, you cannot do without the support of elixir. one-third.

What's more, the transplantation of some precious elixir is also a technical means, which is inseparable from Zhigeng's help, and even in order to attract high-grade Zhigeng, he will promise to share a certain percentage after the elixir matures.

"Using planting as an auxiliary means in the early stage, if you can go smoothly in the future, you can use it as a means of making a living." Zhao Shoushou said to himself, an unintentional move opened up another path for future cultivation. Thinking about the road.

Chapter 50

"First is the fisherman, then the farmer, whether it is a mortal or a cultivator, it is always difficult to break away from the shackles of the two. Fate also has luck?" Zhao Shoushou sighed after planting all the first-grade low-grade spiritual rice two hours later.

After the first-grade low-grade spiritual rice is planted, he only needs to pour the spiritual water according to a fixed time. After taking stock of the treasures in the storage bag, he is ready to start a new round of cultivation journey.

The first-level low-grade Shuiyuan Dan, the first-level low-grade snake gallbladder, and the most precious first-level low-grade monkey wine, after digesting all of them, he is sure to raise his cultivation to the peak level of the third level of Qi training.

Among them, the low-level monkey wine can completely stabilize his cultivation base that was a little weak due to swallowing a large amount of water essence pills in the future, and consolidate his foundation, helping him to truly reach the peak cultivation base of the third level of Qi training.

Only by laying a solid foundation at every stage of the Qi training period, and after reaching the tenth level of Qi training, with his four spiritual roots, will he leave a glimmer of hope and possibility for the advanced foundation building period.

Sitting cross-legged near the spirit veins, running the Great Circle, feeling the swarms of spiritual power impatiently waiting to be refined, I don't know how long it took until the mana in the dantian was filled, and all the energy and spirit reached the peak state, so it was guaranteed not to be wasted Zhao Shoushou just opened his mouth and swallowed the snake gall obtained from the first-rank low-grade black water snake when it was a little medicinal.

There is a slight fishy smell unique to snakes at the entrance, and when it reaches the throat down the throat, the unique bitterness bursts out suddenly, making Zhao Shoushou instantly turn into a bitter face. .

However, when the snake guts were swallowed into his stomach, it turned into waves of refreshing coolness, which made him want to hum in comfort, especially when the coolness reached his eyes, the whole eyeballs were icy cold.

However, before the refreshing feeling lasted for a few seconds, there seemed to be a burst of hotness in the middle of the eyeballs, and the power of heat and cold converged around the periphery of the eyeballs, making him instantly plunged into a test of ice and fire.

The whole body is constantly swinging in the alternation of cold and heat. For a while, the whole body is red and sweaty, and the teeth are clenched and trembling. .

It was too late to say so fast, it felt like a thousand years had passed, but in fact everything was over in the blink of an eye, and the time to refine snake gallbladder was about a cup of tea.

"I don't know how much effect a snake gall has on the phantom array, but the eyes are much clearer, and the painful torture is not in vain." Looking at the ants crawling on the ground a hundred meters away, his mood instantly improved Not a lot.

Then the fiery eyes were fixed on the gourd containing the first-grade low-quality monkey wine. The effect of the snake gall that had not been placed on much hope was so obvious.

"Three ounces of monkey wine is better than three pills. One sip will forget the pain, two sips will beat the gods, and three sips will lay the foundation. It is called the drunken gods." It clearly shows the popularity of Monkey Wine.

What's more, some monks in the foundation period who love monkey wine very much, in order to be able to taste the deliciousness of it, even pay a heavy price for spirit wine just to satisfy their appetite.

As an entry-level spiritual wine, monkey wine of the first level does not contain much spiritual power. What he values ​​most is to consolidate the foundation and win a first-line opportunity for the future advanced foundation-building period.

"The monkey wine is delicious, but it's not yet time to drink it. It's the best way to refine the first-grade low-grade water essence pill first." After muttering, Zhao Shoushou carefully took out the spirit pill from the storage bag.

The first-order low-grade water yuan pill melts in the mouth, and the water flows down the throat and reaches the meridians, and then a cool and gentle but huge amount of spiritual power suddenly bursts out, causing bursts of pain in the meridians.
