Chapter 236 Five Elements Essence Pill

"Two bottles of the second-grade low-grade Water Essence Yuan Pill with twenty pills, one bottle of the second-grade low-grade Earth Essence Yuan Pill with ten pills, two bottles of the second-grade low-grade Wood Essence Yuan Pill with twenty pills, and three bottles of the second-rank low-grade Fire Essence Yuan Pill with thirty pills , three bottles of second-grade low-grade Jin Jing Yuan Dan and thirty pieces." Zhao Shoushou looked at the eleven special jade bottles on the ground that were specially used to hold the spirit pills, and was a little stunned for a while.

Five Elements Essence Pill is an entry-level elixir among the second-order low-grade elixir. The refining process is relatively simple, and it requires relatively few types of spiritual herbs.

It is also the first choice for many newly promoted second-tier alchemists to hone their skills. Of course, all this is only relative. The Five Elements Essence Pill is also very valuable in the market, and the price of each one is around three middle-grade spirit stones. , and are often in short supply.

And for most monks in the early stage of foundation establishment, the energy contained in each essence pill with different attributes is enough to meet the needs of cultivation, so it is also the first choice of most monks.

Eleven bottles of 110 Five Elements Essence Pills are definitely a huge fortune. Zhao Shoushou really couldn't understand why this fallen alchemist carried it with him?

Taking Zhao Shoushou as an example, it takes at least half a month for a second-grade low-grade water essence pill to be refined, and 24 spirit pills a year are enough, which means that these spirit pills can meet his needs for nearly five years. After the refining is completed, maybe the third floor of Foundation Establishment is not far away.

Of course, there are some obvious taboos that need to be paid attention to when taking the Five Elements Essence Pill, because almost all the elixir added in the refining process has a single attribute, so monks can only take the elixir with the same attribute.

That is to say, among the eleven bottles of spirit pills, what Zhao Shoushou can take directly is naturally only two bottles of twenty water essence pills, and the rest need to find suitable opportunities to exchange them one by one.

Fortunately, the Five Elements Essence Pill is one of the most widely circulated elixir among monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage. There are often monks of the same level who accidentally get elixir pills with different attributes, so it is not too difficult to exchange them.

If you choose to exchange in some shops that specialize in elixirs, you will naturally lose some elixirs and pay some price, but the speed is better.

"There is only one person practicing, and the exchange of spiritual pills only needs to be done according to fate, without going through a layer of cramp in the shop." Zhao Shoushou murmured, which was enough to express his attitude.

After storing all the Five Elements Essence Pills in different storage bags, Zhao Shoushou's eyes were already on the few dozen or so jade boxes left on the ground.

These jade boxes are obviously specially made to store some precious spiritual herbs to prevent their medicinal properties from being lost, and they are so precious and stored in the storage bag of a second-level alchemist, which is obviously not the case. Everything.

Although Zhao Shoushou is not an alchemist, he also has a heartfelt joy for all kinds of spiritual herbs. After all, it is related to his future cultivation, how can he not pay attention to it?

"Second-grade low-grade water essence grass, the main material of water essence essence pill, the price of each major store is clearly marked, and the value of every purchase can be exchanged for a five-element essence essence pill"

"Ganoderma lucidum flowers of the second-order low-grade, made of more than 500 years of Ganoderma lucidum, bloom once every hundred years. Although it cannot be compared with Ganoderma lucidum, it is also a rare treasure, and its value is slightly higher than water essence grass."

"The second-tier low-grade vermilion fruit can be used as the main material to refine it into a vermilion fruit elixir, and it can also be taken directly. After refining, it can increase the cultivation base for more than three years. It can be called the most precious spiritual fruit among the second-tier low-grade fruits. Once it appears, it will definitely It will cause a large number of monks of the same level to compete."

The most precious thing about vermilion fruit is not above this point, this kind of spiritual fruit can grow with the growth of the medicine age, and after the medicine age reaches 3000 years, it can even meet the needs of Jindan stage monks.

"I don't know what kind of method this alchemist used, but the mere 800-year-old vermilion fruit was picked." There is more joy than heartache.

In fact, Zhao Shoushou didn't know that the monk who fell into his hands, who was not worth mentioning in a frontal battle, was actually a well-known alchemist, especially the success rate of the second-order middle and lower-grade spirit pills was astonishing Sixty percent.

Even though many monks were discouraged because of his greedy reputation, there were countless monks who begged him to make alchemy, and most of the treasures in the storage bag were rewards for refining elixir.

"Second-rank middle-grade green radish fruit, one of the main materials of second-order middle-grade green radish spirit pills, each green radish fruit is worth more than 30 yuan middle-grade spirit stones, if you meet some urgently needed monks, the price will increase by one or two It's not impossible"

All the treasures above were obtained from the storage bag of this unknown alchemist. Such a rich collection gave Zhao Shoushou a new understanding of the wealth of the alchemist.

"These alchemists turned out to be the real monks who made a lot of money silently, and their skillful way of making money is far beyond my admiration." Looking at the preliminarily sorted spoils on the ground, Zhao Shoushou still didn't wake up from it.

"A man can't get rich without night, and a horse can't get fat without night grass." But from today on, all these treasures all over the ground have been collected by him. With these treasures in his hands, Zhao Shoushou can be said to have realized the transformation from a poor man to a wealthy man.

Two days later, Zhao Shoushou, who had been in seclusion for three years, finally opened the stone gate and reappeared in the desert oasis. Looking at the bustling crowd, Zhao Shoushou, who was used to being quiet, felt a little uncomfortable.

The other monks were equally surprised by Zhao Shoushou's appearance. If it wasn't for the suppression and propaganda of the Shen family before, many envious monks would have already taken action to snatch this desert oasis that has initially emerged and has a first-level top-grade spiritual vein.

This is not something that a water flower in the late stage of Qi refining can calm the scene, and even some rebellious monks have begun to connect in private.

With the passage of time, the legendary monks of the Foundation Establishment Period have never shown up. Even if they borrowed the prestige of the Shen family, they have become unstable. Zhao Shoushou's appearance this time can be said to be just right.

And judging from his preliminarily stable cultivation base, he is obviously not a new foundation-building monk, and it is more than enough to suppress a first-order high-grade spiritual vein.

The appearance of Zhao Shoushou has made many people with malicious intentions feel very lucky. Fortunately, he has not yet made a move, and everything can be redeemed. Otherwise, wouldn't it be easy to wipe out in front of the foundation-building monks?

"Shui Zhihua pays homage to the young master, and congratulates the young master on his great achievement, and he is one step closer to the golden elixir avenue." Shui Zhihua probably also bowed respectfully to frighten some monks present.

"It's a great achievement to be able to manage a barren land into a resting place for the great spirit camel teams in these years. It should be rewarded." Before the words were finished, a bronze dagger appeared in his hands.

This bronze spear used to follow him for a long time during the Qi refining period, and its power is also among the best among magic weapons of the same level. Presumably, it has many benefits for the improvement of its combat power. It is used to suppress some monks in the Qi refining period. More than enough.

Chapter 237

Another important reason why Zhao Shoushou rewarded this first-tier top-grade bronze dagger was that with the improvement of his cultivation, the required spirit weapon had gradually been perfected.

In addition to the previous semi-spiritual weapon lancet, Zhao Shoushou had also refined the spiritual energy longbow obtained from an unknown alchemist after being promoted to the second floor of foundation building during the retreat period.

This spiritual weapon can be used for long-distance attack or melee combat, it can gather the magic power of the dantian into a bow and arrow, and it can also be used to attack with a special bow and arrow made of Qinghai-Tibet wood.

However, the name of this longbow is not as loud and powerful as most spirit weapons, but there are three big characters "sour wood bow" engraved in one corner.

In addition, this sour wood bow has two complete spirit patterns inside, and the third spirit pattern is also faintly visible, as long as it is cultivated patiently, its future power will be limitless.

As for the main material of the spirit weapon, just like its name, it is mainly made of thousand-year-old sour wood trunk, which can withstand great stretching force and continue. Materials for refining spirit bows.

Another important part of the longbow-shaped spiritual weapon is the contribution. The second-level low-grade acid wood bow is made of the second-level low-grade Qingxian fish tendons.

The second-order low-grade Qingxian fish is a special kind of spiritual fish monster, which is more than three meters long. There is a tough tendon on the back, which has good elasticity and can withstand the infiltration of spiritual power. On par with some top materials, it is also good enough for current use.

Of course, if Zhao Shoushou wants to continue to upgrade the Sourwood Bow to the second-tier mid-tier or even the second-tier top-tier in the future, this bow string still needs to be replaced.

But generally speaking, this second-tier low-grade longbow-shaped spiritual weapon can still be regarded as a good-quality spiritual weapon, and it can still be regarded as a good treasure for the current Zhao Shoushou.

With the help of this spiritual weapon, the improvement of its combat power cannot be underestimated, and after refining it, Zhao Shoushou realized that in the previous battles, its power was not fully exerted, which was very pitiful.

After several experiments by him, the light arrow condensed based on mana is basically comparable to the lancet, slightly weaker than the normal second-level low-grade spiritual weapon, but it is better than the silent one. Long-distance attacks have a certain degree of secrecy for the monks themselves.

A bow and arrow crafted from first-grade high-grade Qingzang wood is comparable in power to a second-grade low-grade spirit weapon with three spiritual patterns. If you count its concealment and other characteristics, even a second-grade middle-grade spirit weapon is not impossible. Compare.

"A good bird chooses a tree to live in. The power of this longbow was greatly underestimated. With another sharp weapon, a certain future journey will be much smoother." Zhao Shoushou was very happy to get a sharp weapon that he was satisfied with.

"After the Shen family's propaganda and on-the-spot verification, there are more than ten teams of spirit camels that stop in the oasis every year to rest and recuperate. The fee can be charged around a hundred low-grade spirit stones, and the annual profit is about a thousand low-grade spirit stones." This is the simple account book description provided by Shuizhihua.

1000 yuan a year of low-grade spirit stones is nothing to Zhao Shoushou, it is just a good start, which always makes people feel happy.

There is a desert oasis in the middle, and you only need to pay enough spiritual stones to ensure a safe resting place. I think there will be more caravans operating between Anzhou and Xianzhou in the future.

Therefore, it only needs to develop step by step, and perhaps in the future, this place will become a stable cornerstone to support his cultivation. For Zhao Shoushou, who has hardly done any in-depth research on his sideline business, its significance cannot be overstated.

Of course, the premise of all this is to maintain the growth of this budding small base, knowing that one day it will become a towering tree that everyone looks up to.

As for the idea that Shui Zhihua once proposed that some small-scale monks want to rent some shops here, he has not yet made a final decision.

There are two reasons. The first is that this oasis only has a first-level top-grade spiritual vein after all. If there are too many monks to support, it will inevitably affect his cultivation. A formation that can control the distribution of spiritual power to avoid excessive consumption.

However, these two points are almost difficult to solve in a short period of time, which is also doomed to be difficult to carry out the so-called leasing business in a short period of time.

"Have there been sand lizards around the oasis in recent years?" Zhao Shoushou has always been wary of the local monsters.

Since a second-tier low-grade sand lizard appeared out of thin air back then, it was logical for a second one to appear. Maybe they had already established a stable lair in a location they didn't know, and they were eyeing the desert oasis. The fatal blow will not be delivered until it leaks its flaws.

"My lord, monsters like sand lizards occasionally appear near the oasis, but most of them are middle-rank and low-grade monsters of the first rank. In recent years, at least my subordinates and two cormorant brothers have killed a lot of them." Shui Zhihua respectfully Reporting in detail.

With the improvement of their cultivation base, the two cormorants were gradually unable to keep up with Zhao Shoushou's pace, and it was difficult to provide necessary help in repeated battles.

Instead, Zhao Shoushou kept them free-range, walking in the oasis on weekdays, and of course they would occasionally go to the desert to hunt and kill some sand lizards for tooth sacrifice.

Because the two cormorants had won Zhao Shoushou's trust, no monk would ever take the initiative to provoke them, and the life of this pair of little guys was truly happy and carefree.

Even if there are people with malicious intentions, it is not easy to provoke a pair of cormorants. They can't keep up with Zhao Shoushou's progress, but they are still genuine first-rank high-grade monsters. Sure to win.

The reason why some people with ulterior motives have not tried to snatch it for a long time, trying to snatch the control of the desert oasis, in addition to the foundation-building stage monks who have never shown up, these two little guys are also an important factor.

"Forget it, you just have to be patient and manage the desert oasis well. As for the sand lizard and monsters, there will naturally be someone who personally tries to test it out." After finishing the words, he waved his hand away.

Regardless of whether there are Tier [-] monsters behind the sand lizards, one or two must be hunted after a while, so as not to form some small-scale beast hordes, which will affect the traffic of caravans and the future development of the desert oasis.

Of course, another important factor was that Zhao Shoushou also wanted to try the power of the newly refined second-tier low-grade spiritual weapon acid wood bow with the sand lizard as the target.

In particular, how much attack power and efficiency can be exerted by mana-condensed bows and arrows? Hearing is believing and seeing is believing. Only after personally trying all these can we have the right to speak.

Words and deeds were consistent, and soon Zhao Shoushou had left the comfortable oasis and went to the depths of the desert that had never been explored before.

Chapter 238 The Kingdom of the Sand Lizard

This desert, which almost separates Anzhou and Xianzhou, covers a very large area, no less than the combined area of ​​the two states. Whether it is the desert oasis occupied by Zhao Shoushou or the area where the caravan of spirit camels travels, strict All belong to the periphery of the desert.

Throughout the ages, very few monks would go out to explore the desert. Hundreds of years ago, there was a proud monk of the Jindan period who wanted to explore the border of the desert for a while, but he was lucky enough to return to safety after flying for several months. state.

According to his oral records, there are still some oases or cacti with tenacious vitality surviving on the outskirts of the desert, and there is also a free spiritual power in the air, although it is thin, it is real.

Once flying deep into the desert for more than five days, all of this will disappear completely, as if suddenly breaking into a strange world.

Continue to fly forward for a month, and there will be a trace of Yin Qi around, and even some Yin-type creatures will accompany it, and it will be like entering a world of ghosts.

This Golden Core cultivator chose to leave when more than half of his mana was consumed, and he also had a battle with a ghost king who was chasing him, and suffered serious trauma.

All in all, this trip not only did not yield anything, but also lost several amazingly powerful treasure charms, which is really regrettable.

Since then, the monks have no interest in the so-called deep desert, even the caravans between the two states choose to walk in some marginal areas.

In any case, he had never heard of any information about the sand lizard's lair. The purpose of Zhao Shoushou's trip was only to go deep into hundreds of thousands of miles, and he only needed to ensure the safety of the surrounding area.

"Quak quack quack" this time under the strong request of the two cormorants, fat and fat, Zhao Shoushou, who thought it would not be too dangerous, simply brought it here.

The two little guys have been haunting the oasis in recent years, hunting and killing a lot of first-tier middle and lower-grade sand lizards, and they are relatively familiar with the surrounding environment, which can be regarded as a big help.

"Listen, you two little fellows, if you run away at will on the road and keep dispatching arrangements, don't blame someone for being ruthless and driving you back to the oasis, and you will be severely punished in the future." Zhao Shoushou Apart from a fierce face, there is really no better way.

"Quack quack quack" two heartless first-rank cormorant spirit beasts, very obedient and obedient babies, completely different from the previous ones that made it difficult for Shui Zhihua to deal with the demon king of the world.

Zhao Shoushou is naturally happy to see the transformation of the two little guys. After all, intelligence is also a kind of strength for spirit beasts.

"It's strange. According to Shui Zhihua, there are often sand lizards around the oasis. Why haven't we found anything today? Is it luck or misfortune?" Zhao Shoushou, who found nothing after half an hour, was very helpless.

Of course, his tone is quite complicated, but happiness still accounts for the majority. After all, this also means safety around the oasis, which is quite attractive to some spirit camel caravans with limited strength.

However, as time passed, this strange situation lasted until two hours later, when he had gone deeper into the desert for more than two hundred miles, and when there was still no sand lizard, Zhao Shoushou had an inexplicable expression on his face. change.

At this time, even an inexperienced monk can judge that there must be an undiscovered change in a certain place, which will attract all the monsters that play in the desert on weekdays.

Once the so-called accident disappears and hundreds of thousands of sand lizards appear all at once, it will not be good news for the entire desert.

"It's just that I don't know what's going on in the depths of the desert. It seems that this trip is indeed valuable, but I don't know the danger." Zhao Shoushou said with an unprecedented firmness on his face.

For this kind of change that has threatened his future plan to occupy an important position in his hometown, it is necessary to find out, and in case of a change, corresponding preparations can be made in advance.

Of course, Zhao Shoushou also has a lot of interest in hunting some second-tier low-grade sand lizards. Each of them can be exchanged for at least 30 yuan of middle-grade spirit stones, which is also a lot of money.

But now his favorite trophy is the skin of the sand lizard, which is extremely suitable for survival in desert areas, and is good at hiding its tracks and avoiding high temperatures.

These high-quality second-tier low-grade furs are definitely the best materials for making spirit clothes, and wearing them next to the skin is definitely a life-saving treasure at critical moments.

Especially at present or for a long time in the future, it is foreseeable that Zhao Shoushou will not have a suitable defensive spiritual weapon to protect him. At this time, a spiritual clothing that can save lives at a critical moment is particularly important.

"The sand lizard is not a monster, but another stable source of spirit stones, and there is no competition from other monks." Thinking of this, Zhao Shoushou, who is good at having fun in bitterness, smiled heartlessly.

"Quack quack quack!" Suddenly, a sharp and powerful cry came from the two first-rank top-grade cormorant spirit beasts that had been fleeing in front of them.

The two seemingly weak little guys are not weak in terms of combat power at the same level, and the screams at this time are obviously in danger.

But this point not only did not make him retreat in the slightest fear, but showed a look of excitement, as if he had the idea of ​​impatiently going forward to fight.

Zhao Shoushou did not rush forward. After all, judging from the cries of the two cormorants, although it was a little dangerous, it could last for a while. hand.

"Tsk tsk tsk, how did the two little guys provoke the sand lizards? It's really a spectacle to besieged by more than a dozen first-tier top-grade sand lizards."

I saw Zhao Shoushou hiding behind a raised sand pile, pulling the bow string gracefully, using the mana in the dantian as the source, supported by the sour wood bow, and using one of the most active first-order top-grade sand lizards on the periphery For the target, only a ray of light shot out.

The sand lizard, which was jumping back and forth on the periphery looking for an attack opportunity, had no room to resist, and was blown into a piece of flesh and blood under the action of the light arrow.

Although the light arrows condensed with mana as the root cannot compete with the second-tier low-grade spirit weapon attack, they can still be used to deal with some first-tier top-grade sand lizards that are equivalent to the Qi refining stage.

After about a cup of tea, more than a dozen sand lizards all became dead souls shot by arrows, but he was the one who fled in embarrassment after an hour, because he had already stepped into the boundary of a sand lizard kingdom.

The only shortcoming may be that under the action of the light arrow, after all the sand lizards were turned into fragments of flesh and blood, there were almost no trophies, only two cormorants each hunted and killed two complete sand lizards and were feasting.

Chapter 239 Dense Sand Lizards

"Since a monster has appeared, its lair should be very close to a certain distance. How can I be willing to leave here? I can only go to have a look, but I don't know what the luck will be next." Zhao Shoushou's face is both joyful and worried, but The pace of advancement is firm, and there is no sign of retreating at all.

However, the two first-rank high-grade cormorant spirit beasts could not move forward. One was that their cultivation base was too weak after all, and it was difficult to escape in case of danger; the other was that they were not spirit beasts that were good at escaping. Zhao Shoushou was afraid that he would be surrounded by that time and would not have a chance to save them.

The intelligence of the two cormorants is not too high, but after experiencing the incident just now, they obviously have lingering fears. Therefore, under Zhao Shoushou's strong order, they will return to the desert oasis after all. As for the way back, there is no need to worry at all. , it is nothing more than a piece of cake for them, there is a unique and effective way to identify the direction.

"No matter what the situation ahead is waiting for someone to go and explore, let the wind blow from east to west, from north to south, I will stand still." After being alone, Zhao Shoushou, who was on the second floor of the foundation, was very confident.

For him, as long as he is not under the siege of a large number of monks of the same level or high level, or forced to be in an extremely dangerous environment, he is sure to escape with his life.

Facing the sand lizard, a special race that is only good at moving in the desert, there is not much fear and fear. After all, after the foundation is established, it is possible to fly short distances.

Even in the current situation where there is no flying spirit weapon close by, using the ascension technique to fly some short distances is enough to escape the danger.
