Chapter 708 Origin Stone Found in Fish Nest

Some high-level monks who are more anxious and relatively closer can't wait to come here. On the one hand, they want to show their favor to this powerful Jindan late-stage county magistrate, and on the other hand, they want to take the opportunity to support them. Get a piece of the action when the loot is distributed.

A brood of blackwater fish with varying cultivation aptitudes can grow smoothly to the present level, it must be supported by some valuable treasures.

Among them, the most eye-catching thing is naturally the appearance of the third-grade top-grade black water fish, which allows more monks to see the preciousness of the treasures, and is especially attractive to some late-stage Jindan monks.

In the world of comprehension, as long as there are treasures that are conducive to improving the cultivation level, everything is no longer a problem, and the majesty of the county guard will naturally not be taken to heart, as long as it can appear on the battlefield before the end of the battle, and give support One or two, you can ask for the distribution of spoils in a fair manner.

"If you want to come out to take advantage at the last moment, you have to ask someone Zhao if he can agree." Seeing several flashes of light looming, a mocking smile appeared on Zhao Shoushou's face. At the last moment, he stabbed fiercely into the neck of the ancestor of the black water fish.

Stimulated by the severe pain, the body of the black water fish swayed in the air, a large amount of blood spewed out from the wound, the surrounding river water was soaked in blood red, and a stench spread little by little. Duanguang, who obviously belonged to a late Jindan cultivator, could only stay on both sides of Qishui.

Forcing support before the end of the battle, openly demanding the distribution of spoils is a genuine conspiracy, on the contrary, brazenly rushing into the battle site after the end of the battle is a blatant robbery.

Although the Sheriff's Mansion keeps a low profile on weekdays, it doesn't mean that it has no bottom line to accept any degree of bullying. After all, he represents the royal family of Zhou Song Kingdom.

"Congratulations to the Prime Minister for killing the black water fish and removing a great harm for Qiwu County"

"The Prime Minister's cultivation is superb, with fewer enemies and more enemies, I am very admired, but I am a step late in waiting for the support, please forgive me"

The two Jindan late-stage monks reluctantly stood up and congratulated with ugly faces, but they didn't dare to go one step further. This is also one of the benefits brought by the county guard's mansion.

If an ordinary Jindan late-stage cultivator found here and killed the Blackwater Fish Demon, these later cultivators would definitely take action to snatch the spoils.

"Thank you two friends for coming to support. This battle is over. After cleaning the battlefield, the patrol team will evacuate as soon as possible. I think there will be no new fish monsters in the future. The two friends can go first." Zhao Shoushou is almost aboveboard The members of the remaining five patrols also glared at him.

They don't have the slightest liking for these high-ranking monks who are ready to come to pick up bargains. After all, this is to divide their spoils after a deadly battle.

"I will evacuate first today. If there is a call from the county guard's mansion in the future, I will definitely respond as soon as possible." In the face of absolute strength, Zhao Shoushou is full of confidence. The general trend is unstoppable.

With the withdrawal of the two late Jindan monks, the rest of the spies belonging to the major forces left one after another under the glaring eyes of the patrol soldiers.

"Except for the third-tier high-grade fish monster, the corpses of all the remaining blackwater fish monsters will be distributed equally by you. Some of the remaining treasures in the Zhang family's fleet also belong to you. Quickly clean the battlefield and return to the county to garrison Zhao Shoushou loudly announced the spoils distribution plan.

After a fierce battle, at least 30 patrol soldiers died in the battle. In addition to the government's compensation, the spoils of war were also a very important part.

The combat power of black water fish monsters is common among the same level, but its own value is not low. Fish skin and teeth can be used as raw materials for refining spiritual weapons and magic weapons. Fish meat is full of spiritual power. Simple cooking can become a valuable spiritual food.

There are more than a hundred shops specializing in selling spiritual food in the county town, and the daily consumption of blackwater fish is quite large. These wild and all are above the second level. Once they are brought back They will definitely be looted in exchange for a large amount of cultivation resources.

Among them, the most valuable ones are three mid-tier third-tier fish and five low-tier third-tier blackwater fish. Each of them can be exchanged for more than 300 yuan of high-tier spirit stones, which is quite a fortune.

"Thank you, Mr. Juncheng" There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and the distribution of the spoils after each war is also the best time to win people's hearts.

Before this battle, the soldiers of the patrol team were only afraid of his combat power and cultivation, but from today onwards, it is a real community of interests, and the same is true for monks who are touched by money.

As for the treasure under the water surface, the treasure that supported a group of mediocre blackwater fish in the water to quickly improve their cultivation and grow against the sky, undoubtedly belonged to him.

As a water-attribute monk, Zhao Shoushou had a natural intimacy with the river. There were only small waves on the surface of the water, and his body had perfectly blended into the water.

"The treasure that can support the improvement of a school of fish is definitely not an easy one. If you can get it in your pocket, it may be an opportunity to advance to the eighth level of Jindan." Walking freely in the water, looking for black water fish little by little In his lair, a light flashed involuntarily in his mind.

With the rapid passage of time, nearly 600 years have passed since the 350-year lifespan of a normal Jindan cultivator at its peak, and the remaining one-third must do its best to seize all opportunities to improve its own cultivation.

Since there may be some heaven-defying treasures in the living water, he naturally has no reason to let them go. The location of the fish nest is very conspicuous.

Downward holes appear one after another in the mud. These holes are close to the spiritual veins. They are not only the habitats of fish demons in normal times, but also the places where they eat when there is a lack of food. There is a lot of silt containing spiritual power. It is a constant supply of food.

Zhao Shoushou didn't pay any attention to the outer black water fish holes, and went straight to the fish hole in the middle where the spiritual power was the strongest, and the hole was about a foot long, which belonged to the third-order top-grade black water fish. A place where treasure may be hidden.

"Crystal source stone? Only this kind of treasure full of rich original spiritual power can realize the overall evolution of a blackwater fish group." Zhao Shoushou looked at the three crystal source stones at the bottom of the cave and couldn't help shooting a ray of light in his eyes. Eight layers of Dan is no longer a luxury.

The crystal source stone is a treasure that contains the spiritual power of abundant water sources. The monk only needs to hold it in the palm of his hand to refine it while running the Great Circle.

Every time a big cycle is run, there will be a strong power of water source integrated into the meridians. This kind of spiritual power will not cause any trouble to the monks, and it can directly act on the source of the golden core, which is obviously helpful for the promotion of the monks. role.

Chapter 709 Promotion to the Eighth Level of Golden Core

In the realm of comprehension, the conditions for the formation of origin stones of various attributes are very harsh, the most important of which is that there is a high-quality water attribute nearby. In addition, only various precious jade stones are the basis for the formation of origin stones Raw materials, and there should be no discontinuity in the molding process, otherwise it will definitely fall short.

Among the common five-element source stones of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, the earth attribute appears in a relatively large number because of its good concealment, followed by the two attributes of gold and wood, and water and fire are relatively rare because of its uncertainty.

He has been on the road of practice for more than 350 years, and he was only lucky enough to see a piece the size of a fingernail at an auction, which caused crazy competition and was finally sold at a sky-high price.

It can be said that treasures of this quality are quite difficult to find, and it is more dependent on the monk's personal luck and chance to find its traces.

Although he had guessed about the type of treasure, he never thought that it would be such a heaven-defying treasure. Three crystal source stones were enough for him to break through the bottleneck and advance to the eighth level of Jindan. If he was lucky, he might not be able to cultivate it. Push all the way to the late eighth level of Jindan.

"God open my eyes, it was just an ordinary hunt, and I got three crystal source stones. If the Zhang family finds out, I'm afraid they will regret not coming in person." Zhao Shoushou whispered to himself, but his face showed a satisfied look.

The head of the Zhang family is also a late-stage Jindan monk, and he must have a very strong demand for treasures similar to crystal source stones.

If one finds out that there have been traces of crystal source stones here, one will surely regret it in the future and curse. After all, compared to three crystal source stones, the destruction of a fleet is really nothing.

The treasure was successfully obtained, so Zhao Shoushou naturally would not continue to hesitate. After a simple search in other fish caves to pick up some third-level spiritual materials, he quickly escaped.

After returning to the county, Zhao Shoushou immediately closed the protective formation and entered into a deep retreat. Of course, before refining the crystal source stone, he first took out a true spirit blood belonging to the Xuanwu lineage.

According to the most popular refining method in the Central Plains practice circle, one drop of Jindan is refined from the seventh level to the eighth level, one drop of Jindan is refined from the eighth level to the ninth level, and the last two drops are refined at the juncture before being promoted to Nascent Soul. Only after the four kinds of divine beasts are combined into one and each of them appear in body shape can they play their due role.

The true spirit blood of the Xuanwu lineage belongs to the water attribute, and is as lazy as their masters. After entering the meridians, they have only a little resistance to refining, and then merge into the meridian blood without distinguishing each other.

For monks in retreat, time is the most common and most luxurious thing. As time passed, two months later, Zhao Shoushou began to take out the first crystal source stone for refining.

I saw him sitting with his legs cross-legged, holding a fingernail-sized crystal source stone in his hands. Whenever a big cycle ends, there will be a strong source of water energy rushing into the monk's dantian to replenish the power of the golden core. Insufficiency of the source.

The three water source crystals obtained by Zhao Shoushou are the smallest in size, and the largest one is only three times its size, and it has been treasured and treasured in the pocket.

According to estimates, a drop of true spirit blood plus a piece of water source spar is enough to help him improve his cultivation level by one level, breaking the bottleneck and advancing to the eighth level of Jindan is obviously not a problem.

"After returning from Qishui, he entered into closed-door practice immediately, and this Juncheng lord has gained great benefits from it."

"The strength of each level of Jindan's later stage is very different. This time, the Zhang family can be regarded as stealing chickens and losing money. Not only did they break a fleet, but the treasures they got flew away."

"This county magistrate is truly a man of wealth and wealth. Not only did he get a treasure of good quality, but after this battle, he also got the hearts of the soldiers of the patrol team."

"The cultivation base has been promoted to the eighth level of Jindan, and its own basis is completely stable in the patrol team. Coupled with the support from the royal family, Qiwu County has completely changed its owner from today on."

It hasn't been long since Zhao Shoushou began to practice in seclusion, and all kinds of rumors and gossips in Qiwu County spread at an alarming speed.

Most of them are envious of him. Although there is no specific guess about the specific types of treasures obtained, the envy is undisguised.

Some speculators who were vacillating before had completely stabilized at this time, and Zhao Shoushou finally took the throne of Juncheng for the first time in ten years.

The most important point is the improvement of cultivation base. In the realm of comprehension, everything is based on one's own strength. He proved his considerable strength in the battle of Qishui, and raising his cultivation base to the eighth level of Jindan is enough to deter Some young people.

The improvement of cultivation did not happen overnight. Five years passed in a flash. Under the management of the patrol team, the county town has not experienced any major changes.

With the passage of time, after Zhao Shoushou hunted black water fish and got a batch of high-quality treasures from it, the commotion caused by it has long since disappeared, and it is estimated that only the Zhang family, which suffered heavy losses, is still unhappy.

Whether it was the hustle and bustle back then, the disappearance today, or all kinds of rumors, it didn't have any impact on Zhao Shoushou who was in retreat.

At this time, he is already at a critical stage of cultivation and promotion. With the refinement of the second water source spar, after several times of tamping and polishing, the golden core can no longer absorb any trace of the original spiritual power. It is truly at the peak level of the seventh layer of Jindan.

It only takes a little guidance to break through the bottleneck of cultivation and promotion, and smoothly advance to the eighth level of Jindan. In fact, this time to seek promotion of cultivation, the consumption of water source spar is more than expected.

Under normal circumstances, there will not be too stubborn bottlenecks between the seventh and eighth levels of the Golden Core. The monks only need to step by step, and after accumulating enough strength, they can break it in one fell swoop, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of cultivation. Leaps and promotions.

In the early stage, everything was normal and there was no abnormality at all. Only at the last key point of preparation for promotion, a loophole suddenly appeared in the dantian, swallowing a large number of people and successfully condensing it with all their efforts. Mana Essence.

In order to prevent the loss of cultivation base, Zhao Shoushou could only supplement it with water source spar desperately. Finally, when the second piece of refining was completed, the unknown loophole was stopped and the opportunity for promotion was ushered in.

"Bo" With the support of sufficient pure water spiritual power, Jindan, who was already on the verge of being promoted, was like opening a piece of paper, everything was so smooth and natural.

The size of the golden elixir itself has been significantly improved, and the eighth elixir pattern finally appeared, and the strength of the breath in the whole body has been greatly improved.

Fortunately, all the formations were fully fired before the retreat, and this was only a breakthrough in a small realm after all, and all the conflicts of breath produced were instantly eliminated and disappeared without a trace.

Chapter 710 Exchange of True Spirit Blood

Zhao Shoushou completed his promotion in such a quiet manner without disturbing anyone, and only at the moment when his breath exploded, some of the Nascent Soul's initial servants who were also practicing in the county guard's mansion seemed to be No feeling.

This servant and sheriff, who is determined to break through the bottleneck and advance to the Nascent Soul in the mid-term to improve his status in the royal family, is happy to see his progress in cultivation.

After all, with the improvement of his cultivation base, his control over the entire county will become higher and higher, and only when the environment stabilizes can he really calm down and practice in seclusion.

Whether it is for Zhao Shoushou or the county guard, it is a matter of mutual benefit. Even at a critical moment, the county guard secretly suppressed his leaking aura.

It's a pity that although this servant's cultivation base is high, his background naturally limits his horizons, and the things he cherishes like life are just passers-by in Zhao Shoushou's eyes.

The reason why he joined the royal family and became a member of it was mainly because he saw the possibility of rapid improvement in his cultivation base. Once this position could not bring him enough cultivation resources in the future, he would definitely throw it away like a shoestring. A little bit of nostalgia and pity.

This point is probably something that some officials who came from internal servants will never be able to understand. Under the infusion of various strong beliefs, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are the only goals pursued by these perverted guys.

From the seventh level of the golden core to the eighth level of the golden core, there is a small improvement in cultivation, but the promotion of the self-cultivation is only a small level of improvement, so naturally it does not take much time to stabilize the new level , Half a year later, he has stabilized his cultivation and officially left the customs.

"All the opportunities are obtained by fighting for them. In the future, we still need to pay more attention to the hunting of sea beasts in Qiwu County. It can not only show our own style, but most importantly, we can earn some valuable trophies." After exiting the customs Zhao Shoushou couldn't help murmuring.

Cultivation is basically sailing against the current, and all kinds of resources need to be snatched. The improvement of every successful monk's cultivation base is walking on a lot of bones.

After tasting enough sweetness from it, Zhao Shoushou was completely fascinated by this feeling of rapid improvement in cultivation, and naturally he would not give up and change easily in the future.

The first thing to do after leaving the customs is to deal with some documents accumulated over the years that need to be approved by the county guard. Although some routine work in the county is basically controlled by the various sects and clans, after many years of retreat, Still need to be busy for a long enough time.

In addition, with the promotion of his cultivation base, there are some changes in the strength of some sects and clans, the exchange of interests between them is also turbulent, and there are constant confrontations underground, all of which require Zhao Shoushou One to straighten out.

Of course, as the judge among them, he can naturally gain some benefits from it, after all, a large part of it needs his subjective judgment as the basis.

Zhao Shoushou will definitely not refuse these deserved treasures, such as some third-tier mid-to-high-grade spirit medicines, spirit materials, spirit fruits, etc. In short, after years of continuous efforts, with the normal consumption of cultivation base, The storage bag is a little bit more abundant.

He will discriminate to a certain extent all the treasures he gets. There is only one criterion for this so-called discrimination, that is, whether it is helpful to the improvement of his own cultivation.

On the contrary, all the treasures of heaven, material and earth that are helpful for improving one's cultivation level are all included in one's bag. The other kind that does not have a direct effect on improving one's own cultivation level is the first time in some shops, auctions, and caravans. Among them, the category of selling or exchanging some of the former treasures.

Auctions and shop transactions in the market are the oldest trading methods in the cultivation world, and caravans come from the subcontinent.

It is said that the first caravan in the cultivation world of the Central Plains was created by monks from the subcontinent who arrived here through the teleportation array. They sold some special products between different cities to earn the price difference to maintain their cultivation.

And thanks to the good and smooth roads between every city in the cultivation world of the Central Plains, the main enemy that the caravans here face is the robbing of the monks who are also human.

According to the size of the caravan, it can basically be divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. The lower caravan usually has one or two Jindan junior and middle stage monks sitting in the town, mainly selling some spirits suitable for the foundation building period and a small amount of third-level low-level spirits. The main target is to trade in various counties and villages.

A medium-sized caravan needs at least two late-Golden Core monks and the same number of mid-Golden Core monks to sit in the town. It mainly sells third-tier spirits suitable for Golden Core monks, and occasionally some low-tier fourth-tier ones suitable for the early Nascent Soul Treasures, the main target is most of the counties and county towns.

The upper-class caravan needs at least one middle-stage Nascent Soul or two early-stage Nascent Soul monks to sit in the town. It mainly consists of third-tier mid-to-high-grade spirits and a small amount of fourth-tier mid-lower spirits. It mainly travels in the imperial cities and counties of various countries. In the city, every high-class caravan has the royal background of various countries.

As the saying goes, people make money and birds die for food, and all kinds of cultivation resources in the cultivation world also have more wolves and less meat. Some monks with little money would naturally not mind being a chivalrous man who kills the rich and helps the poor if they have the opportunity.

The value of low-level caravans is too low, and the strength of high-level caravans is too strong. The most important target of these so-called so-called narrow-minded people is the medium-sized caravans that travel between counties and counties.

Every medium-sized caravan can earn enough resources and spiritual stones to meet the needs of several years of practice, but every time a trader is risking his life.

Qiwu County, as the hinterland of the Zhou and Song Kingdoms, has relatively abundant resources and sufficient supply of spiritual power. Relatively speaking, most monks will have a certain amount of savings. Spiritual blood is the best trading partner for these medium-sized caravans.

According to the usual practice, a medium-sized caravan arrives every two to three years. If there is no accident, there should be a caravan arriving this year. This is what the monks present are really looking forward to.

Whenever the caravan arrives, the whole city is like entering a carnival. The caravan will transport some rare treasures from afar and buy local specialties in large quantities at high prices. All monks can take this opportunity to make a fortune Wealthy spiritual stones are needed to maintain the practice for the next few years.

As the local magistrate, Zhao Shoushou is also looking forward to the arrival of the caravan. On the one hand, he can exchange for some urgently needed treasures. Such as other types of true blood.

Normally, the exchange ratio of true spirit blood is two to one, and he can enjoy one to one exchange. This is the so-called leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade. Below are a lot of spirit stones.

Chapter 711 Caravan Carnival

Zhao Shoushou didn't care about the other supplies more or less, after all the accumulation over the years could still meet his own cultivation needs, this time the main goal was to exchange for the blood of the true spirit.

At the beginning, Zhao Shoushou obtained five drops of true spirit blood belonging to the Xuanwu lineage from the Songshan Secret Realm, one of which was paid to Yang's puppet shop according to the contract, and one drop was consumed by refining himself, and the remaining three drops were all ready to be exchanged for other attributes of true spirit blood. Blood, so that in the future, there is no need to continue to spend too much energy searching for the blood of the true spirit.

As far as he knows, the entire Zhou Song Kingdom, including the Songshan Secret Realm, can only produce two kinds of true spirit blood stably. The remaining green dragons and white tigers need to be transported from other countries.

Naturally, these problems do not pose any obstacles to the caravans with vast magical powers and various channels. For medium-sized caravans, the blood of the true spirit is one of their best-selling treasures.

As the de facto highest official in the local area, the demand for three drops of true spirit blood at a par price can still be met. After all, the business scope of each caravan is constantly changing.

What's more, his needs had already been clearly requested when the caravan came last time three years ago, as long as he could arrive smoothly this time, there would be no shackles.

Not only Zhao Shoushou who is the county magistrate is waiting, but also some sect families in the county are waiting and looking forward to the arrival of the caravan.

Various sects and families naturally have other trading channels, but they are mainly high-level monks, and caravans are still the main way to trade large quantities of resources.

Every transport vehicle in the caravan has nothing special on the surface, but each one is unique. The craftsman made it with special means and can be used to store a large amount of cultivation materials. It is far from being comparable to storage bags and storage bracelets.

For a period of time, a large number of casual cultivators also continued to gather in the county, and the task load of the patrol team increased by at least half.

With the increase in the number of monks, all kinds of conflicts continue to arise, especially some monks who have obvious hatred. Suppress the two mid-term Golden Core monks.

In short, almost in the torment of tens of thousands of monks in the entire county, the only medium-sized caravan named "Tianya" that traveled to and from Qiwu County finally arrived late.

"Why did you come late this time? But you were attacked by bandits along the way? But in Qiwu County?" In the county guard's mansion, Zhao Shoushou was entertaining the leader of the Tianya caravan, Zhao Haishi, who was also the eighth-level Jindan.

"The situation in Qiwu County is calm, but it was attacked by a migrating flying demon bird before. The two sides have faced each other for several months. Although there were some losses, they broke through safely. Thank you for your concern." Zhao Haishi said faintly As he spoke, he briefly mentioned the risks involved.
