Practice begins with a fisherman

Compared with these monks with abundant resources and the pride of heaven, the distance between Zhao Shoushou, who practiced alone, and them was as insurmountable as heaven and earth.

Even for the verbal attacks full of disdain, he can only choose to turn a deaf ear to them. If they show a little dissatisfaction, these guys will definitely not mind killing them like courting roosters.

"It's hard to cultivate casually, but it's hard to go to the blue sky. Once you succeed, especially the flowers in these greenhouses can be compared? Today's insults will be rewarded in the future." After the distance between the two parties was far enough, Zhao Shoushou just Some whispered one or two.

Saying it is a counterattack is actually nothing more than a kind of self-consolation. This is the cruelty of the practice world, and all positions are based on strength.

It wasn't long before the evening came, Zhao Shoushou regained his energy, and the value of the spoils of the three-month hard work in the Purple Jade Mountains was finally revealed one by one.

"Eight first-grade low-grade elixir Bishui lotus root, each with a low-grade spirit stone, first-grade low-grade clear water frog and frog tongue eight, each with two low-grade spirit stones, a total of 12 yuan low-grade spirit stones"

"Five pairs of first-tier low-grade purple-eyed red mouse front teeth, each pair of 11 low-grade spirit stones, first-grade low-grade rat gold raw material hundred catties, high-quality rat gold, worth [-] low-grade spirit stones, a total of [-] low-grade spirit stones stone"

"150 six fog stones, one low-grade spirit stone for every ten fog stones, three fog fish, two low-grade spirit stones each, a total of 21 low-grade spirit stones"

Zhao Shoushou's hard-earned spirit materials and elixir, although low-grade and belong to some high-end goods, but except for the frog tongue, they are in great demand, and the price is not high but they are sold very quickly.

Months of adventure and hard work were exchanged for a total of 44 low-grade spirit stones. After setting aside the cost of talismans consumed during the battle, there were only 42 low-grade spirit stones left. The richest moment.

"I don't know the price of the spirit root attribute test in Xiaokanshanfang City? I hope I can have better luck and save some spirit stones to buy talismans and spirit pills." Although he was a little uneasy, Zhao Shoushou still walked firmly to Xiao Go northeast of Kanshanfang City.

Regardless of whether it is ten expensive low-grade spirit stones or five low-grade spirit stones, coming to the spiritual root attribute test this time is an option that must be completed, even if half of the spirit stones exchanged for the trip to the Purple Jade Mountains are consumed. No hesitation.

"Stop here. This is the place where the spiritual root of the Liu family is tested. You are not allowed to enter without permission. Going forward will be regarded as a provocation to the Liu family." There is still a distance of 50 meters from a special building like a tower. A loud shout has been heard in the ear.

Obviously, as the local overlord, the Liu family, which owns the foundation-building monks, does not have much trust in the large number of casual monks.

Chapter 26 Spirit Root Attributes

Judging from the state of the monks in the realm who are serious and even ready to fight head-on with strangers at any time, the Liu family is very afraid and vigilant about the army of casual cultivators.

He didn't know the reason for this, and he even vaguely guessed that the Liu family, who was the overlord, had been bullied by casual cultivators?But the secret is not important to Zhao Shoushou.

He always understood that the purpose of this trip was only to test the attributes of the spiritual root. No matter what happened to the Liu family, dealing with him was as easy as crushing an ant.

"Fellow Taoists, please don't get me wrong. Zhao Shoushou is a casual cultivator in Lumorant County, Xiaxian Prefecture. This time I came here just to test the attributes of spiritual roots. I wonder if Zhao went to the wrong place?" There was a slight movement.

In fact, when facing a powerful practitioner whose cultivation base is far superior to his own, no matter how unwilling and angry he is, he can only choose to lower his proud head.

"There's nothing wrong with the location, but it's really rare to test the spiritual roots on the second floor of Qi training. I don't know what kind of shit luck I have had to make it all the way to today." contempt.

Even casual cultivators will first test the spiritual root attributes under the leadership of the master at the beginning of their practice. It is undoubtedly the worst for Zhao Shoushou to test until now.

"Standing on the road of cultivation by chance, it's really helpless to be shy and stumbled. I just gathered the required spirit stones today. Please help me." Zhao Shoushou bowed deeply, begging in an unprecedented tone, as if he was afraid of being rejected.

"Forget it, the Liu family is famous for tolerance, benevolence and righteousness. Since they choose to open the door to welcome guests, how can they reject you and other casual cultivators? Spirit root detection seven low-grade spirit stones, come with me." I don't know why the guard The monk's tone suddenly changed.

"Fellow Daoist, Zhao Shoushou will remember the kindness of fulfillment today. If you have the ability in the future, you will definitely repay it. Please check the seven low-grade spirit stones." Carefully took out the seven low-grade spirit stones and sent them to Zhao Shoushou. Inside a very mysterious building.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Shoushou was already sitting in the center of a gossip formation, not far away was a ball-like treasure, and an old man with a kind face and white beard and hair on the periphery of the gossip formation seemed to be debugging.

"After starting the test, you need to relax and put all the mana in the dantian into the ball in front of you. It only takes a stick of incense to complete the test. If the test fails due to the interruption of the mana halfway, all consequences will be borne by you. Do it yourself, do you understand?" The old man with white beard and hair simply explained the precautions clearly and then stopped talking.

"Senior, please don't worry, this junior will definitely operate according to the tutorial." Zhao Shoushou agreed decisively, and responded respectfully to the old man who was already on the tenth level of Qi training in front of him.

The tenth level of Qi training is already the existence of the real pinnacle of Qi training. In the cultivation world, except for some old monsters in the foundation period, they are basically the existence of the top level. If it is not too old to miss the time to attack the foundation period, It will definitely not appear here to guard.

"Don't be nervous, the detection of the spiritual root is only a moment, the attribute of the spiritual root does not represent the future path of cultivation, just follow the heart, the detection of the spiritual root begins." After a little comfort, the old man stomped his feet lightly The whole simple gossip array began to shake.

"If you haven't input spiritual power yet, when will you wait?" Before Zhao Shoushou could react, there was a stern shout, and then he started to manipulate in a hurry.

I don't know what kind of material the ball in front of me is made of, but it is soft and waxy, but it can swallow countless mana, but as more mana is input, it diffuses a strange light.

As time goes by, a ray of light gradually separates into different colors. After shaking and merging, the different colors finally appear in front of you. Four different colors, the most eye-catching one represents the attribute of water. Blue for sure.

"The four colors of yellow, green, blue, and gold are intertwined together, and it is a mixed spirit root with four attributes of earth, wood, water, and metal. Among them, the growth value of the water attribute root reaches 45, followed by the wood attribute at 25, and the metal attribute ranks third in growth value. Twenty, the growth value of the soil attribute spiritual root is only ten." The old man with white beard and hair left after a brief explanation.

The four spiritual roots are a kind of pseudo-spiritual roots. The only consolation is that the growth value of the water-attribute spiritual roots is relatively good, but it is not worth recruiting by these families.

It is also doomed that the road of practice in the future is full of thorns and difficult. Even though I have been mentally prepared in the process of practicing these years, there is always a little luck. When the beautiful ideal is broken and faced with the cruel reality, there is always There is a trace of uncontrollable loss that lingers in my heart.

"Don't be reborn with a heart of evasion, the spiritual root is destined, but it is not without a fight. If you are lucky enough to build a foundation, the golden core may not be without a fight." A warm and refreshing voice came to the ears, it was An old man who has drifted away.

"Thank you for reminding me, senior. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you." Zhao Shoushou, who had woken up from his loss, instantly revived, and his previous resolute expression returned again.

The four spirit roots are not truly hopeless, let alone the best of the four spirit roots, if one has enough diligence and opportunities, one will not necessarily fall behind the slightly inferior three spirit roots.

As long as the heart of Dao is firm, and he can practice to the tenth level of Qi training before the age of 50, with the help of Jidan, it is not impossible to advance to the foundation-building stage. Thinking of this, Zhao Shoushou's figure will soon appear in the square market.

After cleaning up all the loot, a total of 44 low-grade spirit stones have been obtained, and the detection of spiritual roots consumes seven and the remaining 37 low-grade spirit stones. The most important task now is to buy as many resources as possible and convert them into mana for use Improve your cultivation.

"Six low-grade spirit stones are used to buy first-grade low-grade talismans, and the remaining 31 low-grade spirit stones are all used to buy first-grade low-grade spirit pills. The rest of the two healing elixir are all first-grade low-grade Qi Xing. By chance, I bought a real first-order low-grade spirit beast pill." No amount of money can meet the demand.

Before there is no way to buy one's own low-level magic weapon, the low-level talisman seal is an indispensable treasure in the process of killing low-level monsters.

There is no doubt about the importance of the first-level low-grade qi powder to practice, and the first-level low-grade healing panacea is just in case, it can be used to save life when you are seriously injured, after all, it is commonplace to get injured in the process of fighting monsters .

The number of first-rank low-grade spirit beast pills is rare and expensive, but whenever he sees the two cormorants who have been accompanying him behind him, he always has a feeling of reluctance. It is a good thing if he can be promoted to become a spirit beast. Chances are Zhao Shoushou is still willing to spend some spirit stones to buy two real spirit beast pills.

Chapter 27

"Six first-tier low-grade fireball talismans, four first-tier low-grade golden arrow talismans, four first-tier low-grade soil thorn talismans, and the price is six low-grade spirit stones. Welcome to patronize."

After some deliberation, Zhao Shoushou finally purchased multi-attribute talisman seals. After all, the situations that may be encountered in battle are too complicated, and it is really difficult to meet the needs of simple low-grade fireball talisman seals.

When these first-order low-grade talisman seals with clear descriptions and abundant spiritual power were collected, his heart became more peaceful than ever before.

"Two low-grade Spirit Beast Pills of the first rank and four pieces of low-grade spirit stones, two low-grade spirit stones of six pieces of low-grade healing pills of the first rank, five low-grade spirit stones of 20 yuan for the first-rank low-grade Qi Xing San, a total of 30 yuan low-grade spirit stones"

Amidst the enthusiastic farewell of the second monk in the shop, Zhao Shoushou, who only had one low-grade spirit stone left in his body after a luxurious purchase, left slowly.

The shops operating in Xiaokanshanfang City mainly deal with a huge group of casual practitioners, and the qualified casual practitioners who have been stingy to the extreme are willing to take out every piece of spirit stone after repeated hesitation. To be able to meet Zhao Shoushou This kind of 30 yuan low-grade spirit stones is definitely rare.

"Go back to the pre-liberation overnight, start again after the elixir is exhausted, Zhao will definitely be able to outrun the longevity and time, the man will conquer the sky, and the spirit root will never stop the progress." Touching the elixir and talisman seal hidden on the chest, Over time, Zhao Shoushou's confidence increased greatly, and he became more determined about the future.

I am born to be useful, and I will come back after all the money is gone. The same is true in the practice world. Only by replacing all the spiritual stones with more cultivation resources and continuously promoting the improvement of the cultivation base can I earn more spiritual resources in the future. stone.

If you want to be a stingy miser who can only get in and out, once you are killed in battle or you have no choice but to sit down when your life comes, all you can do is make wedding dresses for others.

Three days later, Zhao Shoushou had returned to Cormorant Island. In addition to the normal retreat practice, there was another more important task this time, which was to carefully search for some places that he had never set foot on before. If he was lucky enough Wouldn't it be nice to find a different place.

After all, spiritual power is too barren in the secular world, and it is too rare to absorb the free spiritual power every time the Great Circle is run. Without the assistance of Qi Xing San, every practice is half the effort with twice the effort.

Of course, if the search for the spiritual place on Cormorant Island fails, Zhao Shoushou can only choose to leave even though he is very reluctant. The outside world is cruel, but it is not without a glimmer of hope.

"There is a water palace in the Cormorant Lake, where Uncle Shi Shi lives, and there are hundreds of shrimp soldiers and crabs under his command. There is no shortage of various water attribute elixir. How can the two places be really poor and white if they are closely adjacent to Cormorant Island?" This is his last insistence, and also his biggest belief in returning this time.

Cormorant Island occupies more than one-third of the entire area of ​​Cormorant County, and more than half of the land area. Such a large island cannot really have nothing.

The retreat place he chose this time was the underground cave that was specially used to break through his cultivation last time, and it was also his first target to search for spiritual veins.

"Every few years, I can always gather a small amount of spiritual power. Why is there no sign of the existence of a spiritual vein? Could it really be carried by the nearby underground river?" After several failures, Zhao Shoushou, who was constantly searching for it while practicing, could only confirm this. This natural cave has no spiritual veins.

The search for the spiritual vein must be a difficult but protracted task. If the spiritual vein is found so easily, how can there be no monks living on Cormorant Island for a long time?

Day after day, month after month, refining the elixir and concentrating spiritual power. If you are hungry, you can fill your stomach with crisp fish in the water. If you are hungry, you can quench your thirst with cold and sweet spring water. Exploring the treetops of every mountain and feeling the growing cultivation in the dantian, it is a day like a fairy.

The only regret may be that there is no trace of the spiritual land that he was looking forward to. When there was only the last blank space in the entire Cormorant Island that had not been searched, Zhao Shoushou, who had always been in a good mood, was vaguely affected.

The land of spiritual veins can not only provide a steady stream of abundant spiritual power and promote the improvement of monks' cultivation, but also the long-term possession of spiritual veins can nourish the surrounding land and change it into spiritual fields, which can be used to grow spiritual rice and spiritual grass. It can be regarded as the solid foundation of a monk.

No matter if it is a sect family with a long history, or some casual cultivators with advanced cultivation and occupying the land of spiritual veins, they all attach great importance to the reclamation of spiritual fields, and will not waste any land that can be cultivated as spiritual fields.

If Zhao Shoushou can have a piece of his own cave and spiritual land, then he can really lay down a foundation in the practice world and embark on the road of healthy development.

As a casual cultivator who does not rely on any step by step and relies entirely on his own hard work, he is extremely sincere in his heart for the place where he can have his own spiritual veins.

"Refining the last first-level low-grade Qi San today, and searching the last area tomorrow, if you really can't find the trace of the land of spiritual veins, you can only choose to leave." The time in the practice always passes quickly, half a year Looking at the last panacea afterwards, Zhao Shoushou muttered to himself thoughtfully.

Thanks to the help of sufficient first-level low-grade Qi San, his cultivation base has made great progress in the past six months, and he has reached the late stage of the second level of Qi training and even faintly touched the bottleneck. If he can continue to advance rapidly, maybe As long as it continues for half a year, you can advance to the third level of Qi training.

"The surrounding area originally belonged to the remote area of ​​Cormorant Island. All kinds of unidentifiable species of miscellaneous trees are lush, and occasionally some beasts pass by. I don't know if I can bear the last hope." Looking at this forbidden area with a bad reputation, An inexplicable hope flashed in Zhao Shoushou's eyes.

The existence of ferocious beasts must be because there are plenty of animals of all sizes nearby to fill their stomachs. The vigorous and tenacious vitality of various plants means that the land is fertile. The significance of the comparison between the two is self-evident.

Originally, the dangerous place that fishermen on Cormorant Island would not dare to enter easily, was nothing to worry about in front of the friar who seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, so he stepped into it without hesitation.

"Huh? The spiritual power is obviously more abundant than the outside, and it becomes more obvious as you go deeper. Could it be that this is the source of the spiritual veins of the entire Cormorant Island?" Feeling the obviously more abundant spiritual power in the surrounding air, Zhao Shoushou was dull His face finally regained its brilliance.

From the current situation, it can be basically judged that there must be places of spiritual veins around, and all that needs to be done now is to find the source of everything.

Of course, judging from the spiritual power in the air, the place of the spiritual veins here must be equally small and pitiful, but it is because of this that it can be hidden now, if the spiritual power is slightly stronger, it is not at all qualified for a casual cultivator like him in the early stage of Qi training scrambled for.

The size of the land of spiritual veins is important, but the most important thing is to have the existence of spiritual veins first. Spiritual veins can be cultivated slowly from small to large, from weak to strong, but they cannot be created out of nothing.

Chapter 28 The Weak Half Spirit Vein

Except for some powerful and famous sects, most of the casual cultivators and even some relatively weak sects occupy some inconspicuous spiritual veins at the beginning. With the improvement of cultivation base and various resources The investment, the choice is cultivated in a long time.

Among them, the most famous one is Huang Lihe, the well-known golden core real person among casual cultivators. After hundreds of years of investment, he just cultivated a first-level low-grade spiritual vein into a third-level low-grade spiritual vein. The famous Lingshan.

Therefore, for Zhao Shoushou, who is currently weak, it is the safest and correct choice to occupy a weak spiritual vein on the remote and unnoticed Cormorant Island, so that it can be improved with the improvement of cultivation.

If it can go forward smoothly, perhaps in hundreds of years, Cormorant Island will become a well-known place in the cultivation world, and everyone yearns for a blessed land of immortals.

"Gululu..." When he was standing under a small cliff that protruded about three to five meters high, trying to disperse his consciousness to find the source of spiritual power, bursts of strange noises clearly entered his ears.

"How can there be an underground spring here? Could it be that the place of spiritual veins is deep underground?" Zhao Shoushou realized why he hadn't found the place of spiritual veins after a shock, so he stopped hesitating and took a quick stride towards the spring. Want to find out sooner.

If the spiritual veins and spring eyes are combined, the spring water must contain a certain proportion of spiritual power. There is no doubt that this is a rare treasure, and it will be able to get twice the result with half the effort when used to irrigate the spiritual field.

In the future, with the strengthening of the spiritual veins, the proportion of spiritual power in the spring water will continue to increase. It is not a bad idea to transform into a real spiritual spring. At that time, it will be considered a real transformation. Every drop of spiritual water will become a valuable treasure.

"The spring water is sweet and bitter, and extremely refreshing. You can clearly feel the abundance of spiritual power in it, even surpassing the freeness in the air. The place of spiritual veins is probably located under the spring eye." After tasting it, Zhao Shoushou can clearly feel the power There is a difference, and there is a strange look on his face.

The next step is how to develop the land of spiritual veins without damaging the structure of the spring itself. In fact, it is also the construction process of his future cave.

Digging a cave with nothing is undoubtedly a big project for mortals with no cultivation in the mortal world, especially for underground projects like the current ones that cannot damage the original structure. of skilled craftsmen and time.

However, for a monk, a first-level low-grade Tiangong talisman can solve the problem, and now the more important thing for Zhao Shoushou is to choose a suitable and secret entrance.

The first-order low-grade Tiangong talisman is a kind of talisman specially used to build caves. It can summon some wandering ghosts through some special rules. It can be regarded as a kind of equal exchange between the two parties for borrowing abilities.

The first-order low-grade Tiangong Talisman can only be used to build some simple caves, and has no other purpose, and because it is relatively easy to make and less difficult, the price on the market is quite cheap.

Zhao Shoushou's first-rank low-grade Heavenly Artifact Talisman was coaxed by some unscrupulous peddlers at the second cormorant lake meeting, and exchanged for the only low-grade spirit stone in his body. Unexpectedly, it finally came in handy today.

"Heavenly talisman, ingenious, wandering ghost, appear quickly, wish me a helping hand, order" With his loud shout, the first-order low-grade celestial talisman burst in the air like a goddess scattering flowers, and faintly reflected The bodies of ghosts who were invited one by one.

In just a few blinks, accompanied by howling winds, soon a monster over three meters tall and carrying a giant ax appeared. This is the low-level ghost who came to choose to trade with Tiangongfu.

"Under the hill, excavate ten meters, don't destroy it, build a cave, go," Zhao Shoushou ordered without any panic, and chose a location relatively far below the mountain.

In the future, as long as it is arranged a little bit, even if it is accidentally discovered by other monks, it will not attract attention. It can protect the secrets of the land of spiritual veins to the greatest extent, until one day the strength is strong enough, and you can justifiably own the land of your own spiritual veins when.

After receiving the order, the three-meter-tall ghost "Booming Long" went straight to the target without hesitation, waving the huge ax in his hand three times, five times and two divisions to open the situation.

Restricted by one's own grade, the first-grade low-grade Heavenly Artifacts summoned are basically ghosts and ghosts with low cultivation levels, and all they can do is to build a simple prototype of the cave. It will take Zhao Shoushou to go off in person in the future to complete it.

Of course, there is no doubt about the work efficiency of these ghosts and ghosts. The first-level low-grade Tiangong Talisman can only last for a cup of tea. Since it is willing to undertake the task, it is naturally confident to complete it.

Sure enough, with the efforts of ghosts and ghosts, a rough prototype of the cave was completed in half the time. After an invisible big mouth and invisible sucking, the gray object that was originally a first-order low-grade Tiangong Talisman burst and floated in the air instantly disappeared. Disappeared.

"The transaction is completed, ghosts are not human beings, please leave quickly, order" Zhao Shoushou confirmed, the ghosts and ghosts disappeared completely in a blink of an eye.

"The situation in the cave needs to be further explored, but this place of spiritual veins must be small and pitiful. I don't know how much it can improve the cultivation level?" A dodge jumps into the depths of the cave, and the first thing that needs to be confirmed is naturally the spiritual veins quality and level of land.

Judging from the thin spiritual power around, the land of spiritual veins is a bit weaker than imagined, everything is expected, not to mention disappointed or happy.

While moving forward, he did not ignore the observation of the first cave in his practice career. It is a cave that goes straight up and down with only a simple ladder in the middle, and there are only two rough-style rooms below it as a temporary resting place.

The entire cave retains the same rough beauty as the ghosts and ghosts summoned by the first-level low-grade Tiangong talisman. If you want to feel like a blessed place in a fairy home, you need enough time to rest in the future, but it is enough for cultivation temporarily.

"The spirit of Zhong Tiandi, the beauty of the mountains and rivers, the land of spiritual veins and the spring are indeed integrated, but they are too weak. It seems that Cormorant Island is not as barren as imagined." Looking at the fist-sized but endless stream Zhao Shoushou was quite moved by the spring with clear water gushing out.

The length of the spirit veins is only about [-] centimeters, and the spiritual power emitted is barely equivalent to the first-level low-grade spirit veins, and more than one-third of them are fused with the spring. After untold hardships, the land of the spirit veins was discovered, but The spiritual power he can enjoy in a short period of time is really pitiful.

But seeing this situation, Zhao Shoushou not only didn't feel annoyed in the slightest, but showed a strange smile as if he was relieved from a heavy burden and as if he had picked up a precious treasure. At first glance, it seemed very puzzling.

Chapter 29 Another Big Swallowing Stone Swallower

As mentioned above, a powerful spiritual vein has many benefits, but it is not a casual cultivator like him who is qualified to occupy it. On the contrary, it is the weak spiritual vein in front of him. The location is hidden and unobtrusive, even if it is discovered. Someone will come to compete, this is the most suitable for Zhao Shoushou's current situation.

The most surprising thing about this place of weak spiritual veins is the springs that are closely connected together. Although a part of the spiritual power is fused, it will be excellent for watering the spiritual field in the future, whether it is spiritual rice or spiritual water. The growth of grass needs a lot of spiritual water to help.

In the realm of comprehension, apart from the well-known places of spiritual veins, there is also a rare treasure of different shapes called "Treasure of Gathering Spirits", whose only function is to gather the surrounding spiritual power to the maximum.

Most of them exist in different forms such as spiritual eye stones, spiritual eye trees, spiritual eye springs, etc. The premise of this kind of treasure is the natural combination of spiritual veins, springs, trees, and stones. The pulse is strong enough, although there is not much hope, there is always a glimmer of hope.

"A low-grade first-grade spiritual field with a diameter of about 50 meters can be opened near the spiritual vein. With spring water to help plant some spiritual rice, there will be a good harvest." After some investigation, Zhao Shoushou said to himself very satisfied.
