Cultivation of Immortality: Refining the Innate Spiritual Treasure at the beginning

As soon as they entered Tianbao Pavilion, an outer disciple asked with a smile.

Because Li Yang was full of curiosity, and the sect had not yet issued uniform uniforms. It is obvious at a glance that he is a new handyman this year.

"Hello, senior brother, I have space and I want to buy a foundation stone on credit. Who should I contact?"

Li Yang asked respectfully.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the second floor, where Elder Qian is."

After hearing Li Yang's intention, the senior brother's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.

"Boom boom boom!"

The senior brother led Li Yang to the second floor, knocked on the door and entered a reception room, where he met Elder Qian.

This is a kind-faced old man with a stout figure, a bit like a shopkeeper.

"Well! Very good, Ouyang Tianhua, you go down first." After hearing Li Yang's intention, Elder Qian directly sent away the senior brother who was leading the way.

"Little guy, you want to buy the foundation stone on credit? Do you have a goal?"

"I have five elements attributes and want to develop in a balanced way. I can just exchange it for a grain of soil of origin."

The Land of Origin is a magical resource. It can turn into a small piece of land after entering the space, and it can automatically expand after receiving energy.

Li Yang had inquired before that no matter what type of space is developed, one must exchange it for a share of the Land of Origin. After all, everything needs the support of land.

Then, you can input spiritual energy, or use the energy absorbed by the space to expand the soil of origin.

The development of a single-attribute space also requires the addition of unique materials.

Li Yang is preparing to develop a balanced space, so there is no need to consider those.

"A grain of Origin Soil requires 10,000 contribution points. Because you are borrowing it, you can use 10,000 spirit stones to return it. There will be no interest within ten years. After ten years, the interest will be 10% per year."

"This is the only discount the sect can offer you. However, those of you who have space can generally repay the loan. Do you agree to borrow the money to purchase the Land of Origin?"

Elder Qian briefly introduced the credit purchase rules.

"Elder Qian, I agree." Li Yang responded.

"Well, there is another procedure. Come on, put your hand on it, and then consciously communicate with the space. It can determine whether your space is growable."

Elder Qian threw a black stone and landed lightly on the table next to Li Yang.

Li Yang did as he was told, and the black stone first emitted five colors of light: white, green, blue, red and yellow, and then a weak pure white light replaced the five colors of light.

"How about doing it, elder?"

"Well, there is room for growth, but the vitality is a bit weak. Take a look at the credit purchase contract and sign it if there are no problems."

Li Yang found that Elder Qian was not as enthusiastic as he was at the beginning.

……

Back at his residence, Li Yang couldn't wait to enter the space.

Just now, Li Yang was preparing to take back the soil of origin and integrate it into the space.

Unfortunately, Elder Qian did not agree. In order to prevent key resources from leaking out, he asked Li Yang to put the soil of origin into space on the spot.

In desperation, he had no choice but to do it.

Entering the space, Li Yang found that in the center of his space, a circular piece of land with a diameter of four meters appeared.

It was about a meter thick and bare with nothing on it.

Finally having land, Li Yang planted all the spiritual plants he had obtained on the surface.

After more than a month, these spiritual plants began to lose energy even if they were placed in a living space. If we don't see the land for a while, we will almost not be able to survive.

After doing this, he buried some debris into the ground. Over time, the debris is broken down into energy.

Exit the space and visualize the spiritual roots as usual. After a month of practice, Li Yang has visualized the other three attribute spiritual roots.

In order to distinguish them from the Five Directions Flags of the previous life, Li Yang did not use their previous names. Instead, five ordinary names were specially given to the five attribute spiritual root flags.

Red fire flag with fire attribute;

Metallic gold flag;

Wutu flag with earth attribute;

Aoki flag with wood attribute;

A water flag with water attributes.

Now imagine that Li Yang needs to consume about 20% of his mental energy every day. Among them, the Wutu flag consumes twice as much mental energy as other flags.

In addition, after Li Yang came to the sect, he found that there were some runes on the Wutu flag that he could not understand.

He guessed that this should come from the remnant soul of the giant beast.

Perhaps, it is these runes that make the visualization of the Wutu Flag consume more mental energy.

After recovering his mental strength, Li Yang lay on the bed and began to think about tomorrow's tasks.

After one month of study, Li Yang and others will enter the sect system and integrate quickly.

All disciples in the first-level spiritual cultivation stage are handymen in the sect. Only when you are promoted to the Qi-nurturing stage can you be promoted to an outer disciple.

And handymen naturally need to work. This is the so-called task.

Li Yang has space, so the most ideal task is naturally the medicine garden. There you can learn some knowledge about herbal cultivation, which you will use in the future.

The secondary tasks are tasks such as garbage disposal. He can completely bury garbage into the space and increase the energy in the space.

However, this kind of task must be the target of many people's competition. There are more than a dozen people who have room in this year's handymen, and he is not sure of grabbing it.

In the early morning, Li Yang got up and walked to the mission hall after eating.

Today is October 10st, and most of the handymen are here to take on tasks. And today, Li Yang's batch of handymen must come here for their first mission.

A few hundred meters away from the mission hall, I saw a long queue. He had no choice but to stand at the back of the line.

……

More than ten meters in front of Li Yang, Tian Tao was talking to his follower Song Baiyi.

"Senior Brother Tian, ​​I saw Li Yang entering Tianbao Pavilion yesterday and stayed there for a long time before coming out."

"Tianbao Pavilion, what is he doing there? He has no contribution value."

"Senior Brother Tian, ​​tell me, did he exchange the treasure for his contribution points? Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed in Tianbao Pavilion for so long, half an hour."

Song Baiyi said in a flattering tone.

"It is also possible that Tianbao Pavilion not only exchanges treasures externally, but also recycles treasures that others do not use. If that is the case, Li Yang will have spiritual stones to practice."

When Tian Tao thought of the spirit stone, his heart suddenly became hot. It’s just that this belongs to others, how can it become your own?

While queuing forward, Tian Tao was thinking about his strategy.

"There is a way!"

Suddenly, Tian Tao said loudly.

"What's wrong with Senior Brother Tian?"

"I have a way to get the contribution points or spiritual stones that Li Yang exchanged in Tianbao Pavilion!"

Tian Tao said excitedly.

"How to do it?"

"I will..."

The two of them muttered and discussed for a long time, and finally they moved the people in line at the back to the front, while they were waiting for Li Yang.

"Li Yang, what a coincidence, you are also queuing up to receive a mission?"

After letting all the people in front of Li Yang pass, Tian Tao and Song Baiyi resumed queuing.

"It's a coincidence."

When Li Yang saw the two people who suddenly appeared, he wondered what Tian Tao was planning. A quick glance would tell that these two guys were waiting for him.

What a coincidence, what a coincidence.

"Li Yang, what kind of mission are you planning to take on?"

"You don't know yet? We'll see when we get to the top."

"How about we do the same mission?"

"No need."

Li Yang immediately rejected the other party's proposal. Tian Tao must have some ulterior conspiracy.

A few people chatted and approached the mission hall.

"Li Yang, I heard that you went to Tianbao Pavilion yesterday?"

"How did you know?"

Li Yang was shocked. He was very secretive when he went there yesterday. How could Tian Tao know about it? Could it be that Tianbao Pavilion leaked the news?

However, since he is a nobody, Tianbao Pavilion would not tell his affairs to Tian Tao, who is also a nobody.

"I have grown up here since I was a child, so I naturally have many sources of information. Congratulations, Junior Brother Li, I will have spiritual stones to practice in the future."

"I don't have spirit stones!" Li Yang said casually.

"That's a contribution. Don't worry, I won't borrow it from you. But, can we take a gamble?"

"I'm sorry, I don't gamble, and the sect doesn't allow it."

Li Yang refused neatly.

It wasn't until this moment that the other party actually revealed the fox's tail.

However, Tian Tao didn't seem to know that he went to Tianbao Pavilion to buy things on credit instead of exchanging them. He actually thought he had spiritual stones or contribution points.

"It's okay. Gambling is allowed by the sect. If you report and sign a contract with the elders, it is advocating. Don't think that I am taking advantage of you. I have 500 contribution points and spirit stones here."

"Sorry, I still have to do a mission."

"Then how about we bet on the evaluation of completing the task? How about we bet half of the assets?"

"What is half the assets?" Li Yang asked curiously.

"It's the spiritual stones and contribution points obtained from the sect."

After hearing Tian Tao's explanation, Li Yang suddenly had an idea. What he got from the sect was only an IOU worth 10,000 contribution points.

If you win this bet, you can get the other party's spiritual stones and contribution points. If we lose, will the liability of 10,000 yuan be shared with the other party in half?

It seems that I am not losing anything!

"Okay, I'll make a bet with you, but you have to sign an agreement."

"Okay, we'll sign the agreement as soon as we finish taking over the mission."

……

Soon, Li Yang followed the team into the mission hall.

On the wall, tasks scrolled one by one, with specific requirements and conditions for completion written on each task.

"Junior Brother Li, you come first."

Tian Tao was supposed to be in line, but unexpectedly he led his followers directly and ran behind Li Yang.

Li Yang was not polite and took out his identity token, handed it to the senior brother who issued the mission, and said.

"Senior brother, I want to take over the weeding task of No. 195 Ling Rice Field."

"Take the mission token and enter Space No. 25 at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Someone will assign you specific tasks there. You are the new handyman, and these are your basic training items."

The senior brother who issued the task gave Li Yang a token, a piece of paper and a storage bag.

"Okay, thank you, brother

After Li Yang took the things, he slowly walked out.

"Junior Brother Li, don't leave yet. Senior Brother Tian will sign an agreement with you later."

Song Baiyi said from the side.

In less than two minutes, Tian Tao completed the task and walked towards Li Yang.

"Junior Brother Li, let's go to the No. 1 desk, where we can sign the contract."

Tian Tao led Li Yang to the No. 1 desk, where a white-haired old man was drinking tea.

"Elder Li, Li Yang and I..." Tian Tao seemed to come here often and was very familiar with the rules, so he directly told him about the bet between him and Li Yang.

"Li Yang, is what Tian Tao just said true?" After listening to Tian Tao's story, Elder Li turned to ask Li Yang.

"Yes, I agree to bet with him half of my contribution and half of the spiritual stones obtained from the sect."

Li Yang confirmed what Tian Tao told.

"Okay, then you just sign here and stamp it with your identity token."

Elder Li took out three agreements and placed them in front of the two of them.

Signing and sealing, it was all done in one go. Li Yang was very happy now. Anyway, he would benefit whether he won or lost.

"Okay, each of you will take one. When you complete the task next month, the assets of both parties will be shown on the contract. At that time, when you come here again, I will judge the winner or loser based on your task score."

Before signing the contract, Tian Tao could talk about everything. After signing the contract, he immediately changed his appearance with his nostrils turned upward.

"Junior brother Li, prepare your contribution points, I will definitely not lose." After Tian Tao said that, he turned around and left.

"I don't care if I lose or not." Li Yang shrugged indifferently.

"Young man, you have made a lot of money now. Although Tian Tao was not a handyman before, he often did tasks here. His accumulation in several years is not enough to help you pay off your debt."

Elder Li glanced at this guy who was so good at taking advantage of him. He just found out that this boy owed Tianbao Pavilion 10,000 contribution points. This time, the debt will be reduced by half.

"You really don't blame me. When Tian Tao heard that I had been to Tianbao Pavilion, he insisted on dragging me into a bet, even if I didn't agree."

Li Yang said aggrievedly.

"Okay, leave now, you little bastards, each one is more cunning than the last."

Elder Li waved his hand as if to drive him away.

……

Returning to the cabin where he lived, Li Yang looked through the things he got when he took on the mission.

The token is task-specific, the paper is for task introduction, and the storage bag is the focus.

There is a cubic meter of space inside the storage bag where you can place a few things.

Although everyone has a space when they awaken, things can be placed there as well. However, it is troublesome to take things out and back in the space, which is not as convenient as a storage ring or storage bag.

The lifeless space will slowly shrink until it is annihilated. There are also risks to what you put inside.

Put a drop of blood on the storage bag and put it on his forehead. Li Yang instantly saw the items inside.

Two sets of gray clothes, a black stone, two spirit stones and a book.

These things are introduced when learning. The clothes are the standard clothing for handyman disciples; the stones are induction stones used to detect the progress of spiritual root cultivation; spiritual stones are the common currency among practitioners and are also necessary for cultivation.

The last book is called "Overview of the Sect", which contains an introduction to the sect and a map of the sect, which are necessities for living in the sect.

There are no exercises in the storage bag. During the spirit-nurturing stage, only the "Basic Spirit-nurturing Technique" can be practiced. There may be other techniques, but Tianyuan Sect does not have them.

Taking out the induction stone, Li Yang began to test how far he had cultivated his five attributes.

First, he tested the last fire attribute spiritual root he had cultivated. Li Yang closed his eyes and began to visualize, injecting mental power into the red fire flag, the fire attribute spiritual root, until it reached the limit.

He opened his eyes and looked at the induction stone. At this time, part of it had turned fiery red.
