Practice begins with a fisherman

Even though Xingqi San is the same as the first-order low-grade panacea, the difference between the two medicines is obvious. For Zhao Shoushou, the pure water spiritual power contained in Shuiyuan Pill is obviously more helpful for cultivation.

Although it contains more spiritual power, it is easier to refine because of the same attributes, and the efficiency and results are obviously better. On the contrary, the time to refine Shuiyuandan is faster than Xingqisan. One tablet only takes seven days.

The sun rises and the moon sets, day and night alternate. For a monk, the happiest thing is the growth of his cultivation base. In the process of refining the elixir, he can obviously feel the improvement of his cultivation base. Two months of cultivation elapsed.

"Hey, the power of Shuiyuan Pill really deserves its reputation. The five pills are worth the credit of the previous year's cultivation. Qi training is at the peak of the third level. As long as the opportunity arrives, you can advance to the middle stage of Qi training." Difficult to control himself, after several years on the road of practice, he will finally face the first real bottleneck.

The cultivation base accumulated under a large number of spiritual pills was a little impetuous, but under the effect of a gourd monkey wine, all hidden dangers disappeared without a trace.

"The lush Lingmi seedlings can be harvested after three months, and I have longed for the taste of Lingmi." During the two months, apart from practicing, the little energy left was devoted to the care of the planted Lingmi.

Heaven pays off. With the full supply of sufficient spiritual power and spiritual spring water, the seedlings of Lingmi have already emerged from the ground, and the rest only needs to be taken care of step by step.

The third level of Qi training to the fourth level of Qi training is the bottleneck from the early stage to the middle stage. After being promoted to the middle stage of Qi training, you can try to refine elixirs, talismans, magic tools, etc., and really embark on another auxiliary path.

After being promoted to the mid-stage of Qi training, one can actually manipulate magic weapons to fight, which also greatly improves the combat effectiveness. The early stage of Qi training can be regarded as laying the foundation, and only in the middle of Qi training can there be a trace of the demeanor of a practitioner.

It is precisely because of this that the bottleneck between the two is extremely difficult to overcome and overcome, especially for Zhao Shoushou of the Four Spirit Roots. In addition to strength and opportunity, the help provided by external forces is also important.

"Condensing Qi Pill, if there is a chance to get the first-rank low-grade Condensing Qi Pill, the bottleneck in front of you can be broken in one breath." Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and the name of a brand-new panacea kept flashing in his mind.

The first-grade low-grade Ningqi Pill is composed of a first-grade middle-grade elixir Ningqi Grass as the main drug, and 18 kinds of first-grade low-grade spirit flowers and spirit herbs as auxiliary medicines. It is refined, and a slight error in the refining process will cause the entire furnace of panacea to be scrapped.

Rare things are precious, since so many elixir are needed, and the difficulty of refining is also far beyond imagination, the price of the first-order low-grade Qi Condensation Pill is naturally very expensive.

The most important thing is that alchemists who are sure of refining Qi Condensation Pills can obtain higher-value spirit pills, but those who are not sure of alchemists dare not try it lightly, so the number of Qi Condensation Pills on the market is relatively rare, and only occasionally when everything is stable Inherited sects and families flowed out.

Once it appears, it will inevitably lead to the looting of many monks at the early stage of Qi training, and the price of each first-order low-grade Qi Condensation Pill is at least 150 low-grade spirit stones.

Chapter 51

150 low-grade spirit stones is definitely a huge amount that can't be expected for casual cultivators who are used to poverty. They try their best to earn spirit stones on weekdays. After deducting daily expenses, there is almost nothing left to save 150 It is not easy to obtain a low-grade spirit stone.

In addition to breaking through the bottleneck, the first-order low-grade Qi Condensation Pill has a special function, which can ensure that the mana in the dantian is calmed down at the moment of breakthrough, and basically will not cause too much harm to the main body.

It is precisely because of this that the first-level low-grade Qi Condensation Pill is the first choice of most monks. The same is true for Zhao Shoushou. It is not easy to earn spirit stones, but it is not hesitating to improve his cultivation.

"Working hard for the Qi Condensation Pill, fighting hard for the middle stage of Qi training, it's just going to the Purple Jade Mountains to kill monsters and pick elixir." After muttering to himself for a while, the expression on his face completely calmed down.

He doesn't have any other skills to earn spirit stones, but the Purple Jade Mountains are the fastest way to earn spirit stones. Of course, he won't go there rashly like before, and will only act again after carefully selecting some targets. If you encounter a more suitable opportunity before departure, you will naturally have a new choice.

"If I can appear in front of Bai Bai as a Qi training fourth-level monk next time, I will naturally be more attractive." Bai Bai's figure flashed in his mind, and his motivation doubled when he thought of this.

It is not easy to break through the bottleneck between the early stage and the middle stage of Qi training, three months is far from enough, and it is destined that he will not appear at the next cormorant lake meeting.

Whether it was to break through the bottleneck as soon as possible and advance to the middle stage of Qi training, or for the female cultivator Bai Bai he had a crush on, Zhao Shoushou quickly turned like a spinning top, without any spare time.

Two months spent hunting monsters in the Purple Jade Mountains, and one month spent dealing with the spoils and returning to the cave to take care of the soon-to-mature lingmi and recuperate injuries. In the constant busyness, the time passed like a blink of an eye.

From the scorching summer, the smell of fruit to the snow, Zhao Shoushou has been dealing with all kinds of low-grade monsters with high added value in the Purple Jade Mountains for nine months.

Of course there are harvests, but after excluding the consumption of spirit pills, talismans, etc. in the battle, only 56 low-grade spirit stones are left in the storage bag after nine months of hard work, which is far from the demand for purchasing Qi Condensation Pills. Very different.

However, countless desperate fights with monsters are not without any gains. The improvement in combat power is obvious, and the sturdy and murderous aura undoubtedly shows the transformation that has been achieved.

Because of hanging out in the Ziyu Mountains for a long time, through various intrigues and mutual killings, Zhao Shoushou can be regarded as establishing his own name. If there is no absolute conflict of interest, no monk will provoke a humanoid beast.

Of course, during this year's time, they did not completely rely on their own strength to fight alone. During this period, it was not uncommon for three or five casual cultivators to jointly kill some relatively powerful monsters.

After a year, I have accumulated some contacts and relatively reliable friends. If I find a monster that I can't deal with, I will call friends. Generally speaking, the harvest of this year outweighs the sacrifices.

And under the leadership of these monks, Zhao Shoushou knew that there was also a small market in the Ziyu Mountains. It was small in size and not many shops, but although the sparrow was small, it had all the internal organs, and the price was slightly lower than that of the Xiaokan Mountain Square City. It's better than convenience.

Of course, treasures that are easy to store, small in size, and easy to carry like spirit grass are generally not sold here, and some commonly used talismans and spirit pills can also be purchased here.

It is said that at the end of each year, Fangshi in Ziyu Mountains will hold an auction of rare treasures. There are all kinds of precious instruments, panaceas, arrays, talismans, etc. It must be that the big man behind the scenes of Fangshi is in order to harvest the scattered storage bags. One of the few spirit stones in the world.

It's a pity that in order to accumulate enough spirit stones to buy a low-grade Qi Condensation Pill, Zhao Shoushou didn't make a single shot at this year's auction.

The talisman is a special kind of talisman, but compared to the ordinary talisman that can only be used once and then discarded, the talisman can be used five times in a row, and it is refined by monks in the foundation building period. It's just a first-level high-grade spell, and its power should not be underestimated. It was a life-saving weapon, and it was finally sold at a high price by a monk in the late stage of Qi training.

A small auction opened his eyes. There are still many treasures suitable for the Qi refining period in the original cultivation world. In the future, as long as you practice seriously, everything will come true.

It's a pity that even though various small top-grade treasures appear frequently, the figure of the first-rank low-grade Condensing Qi Pill has never appeared. I don't know whether it is because there are too few Condensed Qi Pills or other reasons. From this aspect, we can also see the preciousness of Condensing Qi Pills , especially for casual cultivators.

In addition to the normal transactions in Xiaofang City, every half month, more than ten friends who trust each other will also gather together to exchange cultivation experience, and hold a small-scale trade fair by the way. Whether there is communication between them.

As mentioned above, three or five monks hunted monsters together and reached an agreement at the small fair, so they attached great importance to the individual cultivators of the small fair, as long as there was no need to get away from it, they would usually go to participate.

In a blink of an eye, the day of the trade fair has arrived, and the location will change every time. When the last one is over, the next one will be confirmed. This time, the location between the two hills outside the Purple Jade Mountains is chosen. The secret of Duan is just for safety.

"I don't know if there are any traces of high-value spiritual grass this time?" Zhao Shoushou was still praying on the way to the trade fair.

Because there is a first-level quality control water fork next to him, his combat power ranks high among more than a dozen casual cultivators, and he has always had a good reputation. Other cultivators who have discovered it are likely to invite him to participate.

As for the low-grade first-grade iron shield seized from the black-clothed ghost, it was not displayed in front of everyone after refining it a few months ago. Instead, it was chosen as a bottom card in the storage bag.

Money touches people's hearts, not to mention that all they are facing are all kinds of spiritual herbs and spiritual materials. Who can guess how many killer moves these seemingly harmless guys will have once they turn their backs?

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Shoushou decisively chose to keep the first-order low-grade refined iron shield in the storage bag for emergency. No matter how dangerous he encountered in the previous battle, he never sacrificed it. Of course, another reason is also the cultivation base of the third level of Qi training It is simply unable to manipulate two first-order low-grade magic weapons.

"It's been half a month since Daoyou Zhao's cultivation has become more and more profound. The middle stage of Qi training is just around the corner. I always admire him." A thick voice sounded when he just stepped into the predetermined two hills according to the map. The man with black hair and as strong as a black bear spoke enthusiastically.

Chapter 52 News of the Spirit Bee

"Fellow Daoist Mang is getting stronger and stronger, my younger brother's meager level of cultivation does not dare to be compared with Fellow Daoist Mang. Fellow Daoist Mang's external skills have been refined to the limit, and one person can be as good as the three of us." Zhang, besides, the man in front of him is not easy to deal with.

This person is practicing a kind of external skills, and his main body is also a body. The magic power in his dantian has instead become an auxiliary means. After being beaten by special means and nourished by spiritual power, his copper-brown skin has extremely amazing defensive power.

"Hehehe, Lao Mang is just a brute force, and his future is limited, so I dare not compare it with fellow Taoists." The simple and honest Lao Mang smirked, but Zhao Shoushou understood that this person was "a man with a pig's face and a bright heart", otherwise he would How could it be possible that the Purple Jade Mountains, where monks have fallen every day, are full of wind and water amid intrigues?

Cultivators who specialize in the physical body are also called physical training, relying on a strong physical body to meet various challenges, the number of physical training is not large in the cultivation world, but there is no doubt that in the early stage of cultivation and even the entire qi refining period, they occupy absolute advantage.

Compared with the huge consumption of monks every step forward, there are no other requirements for physical training except for some special forging and elixir assistance. A heavy-duty mace made of refined steel can fully play a role in their hands. No less than the power of a low-grade magic weapon.

This situation is especially obvious in casual cultivation. Physical cultivation can be said to be powerful and quick to get started in the early stage, but foundation building is an insurmountable threshold.

If you use no one in a hundred to describe the success rate of ordinary monks' foundation building, no one in a thousand or even no one in a million, it is described as physical cultivation. A monk's foundation building is a single-plank bridge, but physical cultivation is done through a small gap. One can imagine the difficulty of opening up a path alive.

"Dangdang" Zhao Shoushou arrived a quarter of an hour later, Lao Mang rang the bell for the start of the trade fair outside the mountain, but only seven people arrived on time, and the remaining three people did not know whether they had something important to get out of or had already fallen in the There is a corner of the Purple Jade Mountains that no one knows about.

Every exchange meeting and trade fair will have a host, and the monks will take turns sitting in the manor. This time the host is the old mang of the body.

"The time has come, and the exchange meeting has begun. Next, I would like to invite fellow daoists to speak in turn. It can be the experience of using spells, or the perception during cultivation, but you must follow the old rules to say something, and I will let Lao Mang throw bricks to attract jade." Mang is familiar with this set of procedures.

"The most important thing in Lao Mang's way of physical training is the tempering of the body. The stronger the body, the stronger the fighting power. The cultivation of the body is also the most important thing on weekdays. Fellow Daoists who major in dantian mana, the body is still strong. It is the source of life, if you ignore the blind pursuit of mana and ignore the body, Lao Mang thinks it is a little bit of putting the cart before the horse." After explaining the importance of the body, Lao Mang sat down contentedly.

The next six people expounded their insights in practice from different angles. Zhao Shoushou introduced the experience and lessons of the Imperial Envoy Magical Artifact and some tips. The exchange meeting lasted about an hour. touched.

Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade, and perhaps a problem that has troubled me for a long time only needs an unintentional call from others to see the sun and the moon through the clouds and mists.

Don't the words in law, family, wealth, and land refer to the teachings of the elders and the communication of colleagues?Although the seven casual cultivators sitting here will not disclose the fundamentals related to their own livelihood, an exchange is quite valuable.

"The next step is to enter the trade fair stage. I have been lucky recently. I accidentally got a piece of low-grade rotten wood in exchange for a panacea or a spirit stone." Lao Mang took out a piece that looked dusty, full of holes, but full of green vitality. of wood.

The first-order low-grade rotten wood can only give birth to a breath of life in the rotten wood with annual rings of more than [-] years and fallen for several years, and it is a kind of uncommon wood attribute refining material. .

"Fellow Daoist is such a good opportunity. Liu has been searching hard and failed, but I don't want to be found by fellow Daoist. Are you willing to sell the four low-grade spirit stones?" Sitting alone in the northwest corner, a monk surnamed Liu in a Taoist robe suddenly opened his eyes. , out of the seven monks present, he is the only wood attribute.

"Liu Daoyou has always been fair. Since Lao Mang took it out, there is no reason why he would not want to." Lao Mang accepts it when he sees a good deal. The four low-grade spirit stones have already earned one more low-grade spirit stone than the shop in Xiaofang City.

The small exchange of the seven monks will end soon, and the only ones who have successfully exchanged are Lao Mang and the monk surnamed Liu. The truly valuable treasures will not appear here.

Zhao Shoushou originally prepared a first-rank low-grade elixir yellow sprout, and wanted to exchange for two first-rank low-grade talismans or a first-rank low-grade healing elixir. Although there was a little profit, the rest of the monks did not choose to trade. Because the next step is the real purpose of all the monks who have worked so hard to come to participate in the fair.

"This exchange meeting has entered the final stage, gathering everyone's strength to hunt and kill precious monsters. I wonder which fellow Taoist has a new discovery?" Lao Mang briefly introduced that Yi Er was already sitting cross-legged on the ground, expressing his attitude.

"Kun found a nest of first-order low-grade red ants. There are a large number of unhatched red ant eggs. If you can hunt and kill them, you can get at least 20 yuan of low-grade spirit stones." The name of the speaker is Kun Xing, an earth attribute monk on the second floor of Qi training Xiuwei.

However, the monks here obviously don't have much interest in the first-order low-grade red ants. It's not a joke that the ants kill elephants. The huge number of ant monsters in the cultivation world is one of the categories that cannot be provoked.

Although unhatched red ant eggs are a particularly popular spiritual item, many shops in Fangshi openly buy them at the price of one low-grade spirit stone and hundreds of them.

"Fellow Daoist Kun was able to escape from the mouth of the red ants. I admire him very much. Forgive Qian for his limited cultivation and weak supernatural powers. I really dare not go to provoke the red ants." Qian Jindi, who once suffered from a poisonous ant a surrender.

"Old mang is a body cultivator, it's not easy to practice with copper skin, so I won't participate in hunting red ants, fellow daoists, forgive me." Lao Mang, who has always dared to fight and rush, and exists as a meat shield in a temporary small group, gave up , which means hunting failed.

In fact, it is not that the monks present dare not provoke the first-rank low-grade red ants. It is a bit of a loss outweighing the gain. It is very difficult to deal with red ants with a small number of people. The spiritual stones that are distributed by the sale of eggs are extremely limited. The key is in the red ants. There is no spirit grass in the ant's nest.

"Wu found a beehive by accident, and the green bees growing in it were first-grade purple jade green bees. It can be confirmed that there is Lingfeng honey. I wonder if fellow daoists are willing to take the risk?" A timid voice whispered. , All the monks turned their heads to look, only to find that it was Wu Bi, a first-level Qi training monk sitting in the corner.

Compared with the first-rank low-rank red ants, which are unpopular and wealthy, the first-rank low-rank purple jade green bee is obviously more popular. Fang's appearance has already attracted the attention of the six monks, and a kind of heat appeared on their originally calm faces.

Chapter 53 Spiritual Honey and Royal Jelly

The first-order low-grade purple jade green bee is mutated from ordinary bees after devouring the pollen of the spirit flower. Lingfeng honey is sweet in taste, full of spiritual power, and there is no hidden danger in eating it, and it has a certain effect on healing trauma.

The most important thing is that there must be unhatched bee pupae in each hive. If the hive can be successfully removed, and the domesticated young bees can be cultivated for a while, as long as the queen bee is controlled, a continuous cornucopia will be cultivated.

In Fangshi, every liang of honey is priced at one low-grade spirit stone, which is equivalent to a complete cornucopia, not to mention that as long as the spirit peak is cultivated properly, the grade will be improved, and the price of the brewed spirit peak honey will also be higher.

The highest value of a stable spirit bee is naturally the royal jelly brewed by the queen bee. A queen bee can brew three taels of royal jelly every year. Then increase.

As for the role of royal jelly, raw clothes can be used to treat some critical injuries. Adding it to elixirs can increase the success rate of alchemy. Every drop of royal jelly is regarded as a treasure by alchemists.

Alchemists are the richest and most well-connected group of special existences in the cultivation world. If they can stably produce royal jelly and gain the friendship of alchemists, there is no doubt about the importance of a monk.

Therefore, after hearing the news about the first-rank low-grade purple jade green bee, the seven casual cultivators present at the Qi-refining stage raised their ears, refusing to let go of any details, even the one who had just been rejected for providing news about the first-rank low-grade red ants. Kun Xing is not entangled.

After all, you can tell at a glance which is more important between the first-rank low-grade red ants and the first-rank low-grade purple jade green bees. Since there are better choices, why bother with the so-called face?

"The purple jade green bee is an outstanding existence among the first-order low-grade spirit bees. The effect of Lingfeng honey is remarkable, but I have never heard of these little guys in the purple jade mountain range? Have you ever confirmed it, Daoist Wu?" Lao Mang was the first to make a detailed inquiry.

There is no doubt about the value of the low-grade purple jade green bee, if a monk finds out, he will definitely capture the purple jade green bee larvae at all costs.

Suddenly hearing this news, the monks cannot be careless. After all, there are countless examples of setting traps in Ziyu Mountain to counter-kill, and the matter of life cannot be careless.

"The location of the Purple Jade Green Bee's hive is relatively secret. Wu discovered it by accident when he was tracking down a low-grade pangolin of the first rank. After repeated confirmation that all the characteristics are in line with the characteristics of the Purple Jade Green Bee, that's why he said it at today's meeting. Propose" Wu Bi, who had the lowest cultivation level, said cautiously.

If it wasn't for the fact that his own cultivation was too low, and there were no companions to rely on around him, and if it wasn't a last resort, he would definitely not have handed over such valuable information in vain.

"If there really is a purple jade green bee, according to the old rules, as a discoverer, Wu Daoyou can enjoy an extra tenth of the loot distribution alone, and the rest will be distributed according to the performance in the battle. Do you have any objections?" As a qualified host Ren Lao Mang decisively set the tone.

The purple jade green bees of the first rank are not easy to deal with. A mature bee hive has at least hundreds of worker bees for making honey, and hundreds of drones responsible for mating. They will fight when the hive is in danger; composition.

The combat power of each low-grade Purple Jade Green Bee is not considered strong, but the amount of deformation will change into a qualitative change. When the number reaches a certain scale, the combat power will be greatly improved.

It is especially important to note that each spirit bee has a poisonous needle at its tail, once hit it will paralyze people, so some detoxification pills must be prepared.

"Fellow daoists, if you have no objections, we will gather here three days later, and fellow daoist Wu will lead us to hunt down the first-rank low-grade purple jade green bee. All fellow daoists must prepare honey pots for honey, otherwise we will have to wait until then. Watching us distributing the spoils, Lao Mang said goodbye first." After a big laugh, Lao Mang took the lead and left quickly.

This is also a small rule formed after more than ten tests. In order to prevent the leakage of information, the final destination will only be announced before departure.

"I'll see you in three days. Have a good trip, fellow Taoists. I'll go to you." After saying hello, Zhao Shoushou also chose to leave. It took three days to hurry up to complete the preparations.

The most important thing to deal with the low-grade purple jade green bee is the detoxification pill. If it is successful, the artificial honeycomb used to raise bee pupae is also indispensable. If there is a chance, a cheap gauze net is also important. Protect important parts during attacks.

"If it wasn't for time constraints, why would you buy it in this deceitful shop? It's unreasonable that two detoxification pills, two honey pots, and an artificial honeycomb cost five low-grade spirit stones." Zhao Shoushou said in a grocery store with distress. out.

Although he was mentally prepared, Zhao Shoushou still felt aggrieved when the killer's big knife fell. If it wasn't for Ziyu Green Bee, he would definitely be reluctant to be taken advantage of.

Before the sun rose in the early morning of the third day, Zhao Shoushou was already sitting cross-legged on a bluestone, waiting for the arrival of the remaining six monks.

"Old mang hurry up, I didn't expect that fellow daoist Zhao was still one step ahead, fellow daoist, have you been fully prepared?" The rough and rough voice showed that the person who came was the body cultivator Lao Mang.

"It's just that the stupid bird flew first, and Zhao just came first." Zhao Shoushou didn't move, it was just a simple salute, and Lao Mang's flattery had long been used to it.

Those who arrived later were Liu Lou on the third floor of Qi training, Qian Jin on the third floor of Qi training, Kun Xing on the second floor of Qi training, Wang You on the second floor of Qi training, and Wu Bi, who was also the discoverer of Ziyu Green Bee on the first floor of Qi training.

When the sun rose, the Purple Jade Green Bee Hunting Squad was officially assembled and ready to go. The leader who opened the way was naturally a tall man with a strong physique. I saw him carrying a giant ax to build a bridge between the mountain and the road. It is majestic.

As for whether the huge movement will attract the attention of the surrounding monsters, the group of seven people doesn't care. After all, all the monsters around are first-rank low-grade monsters. With the strength of seven people, even the first-rank mid-grade monsters can fight. .

If there really was a low-grade monster that appeared desperately, the seven casual cultivators would not be afraid, but would be even more excited. It would be nice to have an appetizer before the battle.

Among the seven monks, one is a physical cultivator comparable to a third-level qi training, three genuine third-level qi training monks, two second-level qi training monks, and one first-level qi training monk. power.

Zhao Shoushou and his entourage followed Wu Bi's command and continued to march towards the outermost periphery of the Purple Jade Mountains. The spiritual power in the surrounding environment continued to decline in a trend visible to the naked eye.

The boring march continued until the evening, and during this period, no undead monster came out to disturb him, which made Zhao Shoushou feel bored.

"The purple jade green bee of the first rank low-grade likes to build a nest in a place with abundant spiritual power. This place is so barren that it may not meet the requirements of the spirit bee. Fellow Daoist Wu confirms that the hive is here?" This is not only the question of Lao Mang but also the question of the remaining monks.

Chapter 54 Spirit Grass and Worker Bees

No matter what kind of spirit bee, the favorite place is naturally a place with abundant spiritual energy. Only in a place with abundant spiritual energy can we collect high-quality pollen, which is used to supply the queen bee and brew royal jelly.

From a distance, the spiritual power of this place is barren, and there is no flower or grass in sight. According to the habits of the purple jade bee, how could it be possible to choose this place to build a hive.

Could it be that all this is an introduction?The so-called first-tier low-grade Ziyu Green Bee is just a lie, and everything is just a well-arranged trap to attract them?
