Longevity: Starting from the Talent of Infant Growth

"Two pieces of broken spirits are expensive?"

Old man Zhao stuffed all the beef jerky in his hand into his mouth, chewed it quickly, bent down, picked up a lotus-shaped sky lantern, handed it to Zhou Ling, and said with a smile.

"Look, this is a lotus lantern with three inscriptions. Two pieces of broken spirits are expensive. How is it expensive?"

Zhou Ling took a closer look. The lotus lantern has a delicate and unique appearance.

However, under [Primary Insight], it can be seen that two of the three inscriptions in the sky lantern are damaged.

Immediately shook his head, "This kind of lantern is expensive for me even if I give it a piece of broken spirit!"

Old man Zhao couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Are you still letting people do business?"

Zhou Ling scratched his head, "If they are all pieces of broken spirits, then I will buy them all, otherwise forget it!"

Old man Zhao frowned when he heard this, and weighed it, "How about twelve pieces of broken spirits!"

"If it's twelve pieces of broken spirits, you can give me a bottle of gold-based spiritual ink!"

"Hey, this..."

After some bargaining, thirteen pieces of broken spirits were finally sold.

Zhou Ling bought ten sky lanterns and a small bottle of spiritual ink.

"How come kids nowadays are so cunning! So cunning!"

Watching Zhou Ling walk away briskly with ten sky lanterns in his hands, Old Man Zhao shook his head helplessly.

Fortunately, this batch of defective products didn't cost much, so he didn't lose money.

······.

As night fell, Zhou Ling returned home.

The house was quiet, and his parents hadn't come back yet.

Zhou Ling put the lantern in his room and went to the kitchen to warm up the dinner prepared by his mother.

After a simple meal, he returned to his room.

He picked up the lotus lantern and observed it, carefully looking at the three light-colored inscriptions on the sky lantern.

Although he couldn't fully see where the problem was for the time being, he had the talent of [Primary Analysis].

He quickly found a mistake.

[You are analyzing three light-colored inscriptions, primary analysis +1, proficiency of three light-colored inscriptions +1]

"It's mainly a problem with the blending of the spiritual ink. The spiritual ink is not pure enough, which makes it impossible to conduct spiritual power, and the inscription becomes invalid."

"Fortunately, I just filled a bottle of metallic spiritual ink."

Zhou Ling murmured.

These light-colored inscriptions are mainly made of metallic ore spiritual ink. With the help of the inscriptions, different colors of light can be stimulated.

Zhou Ling carefully watched it several times again, and [Primary Analysis] did not continue to prompt.

Zhou Ling was basically able to confirm that it was only a problem with the spiritual ink.

I immediately took out the inscription pen and spiritual ink, and then placed the lotus lantern.

He took another deep breath. After all, this was his first time to draw inscriptions on an artifact, and Zhou Ling was a little nervous.

Fortunately, these were only three inscriptions, and it was not difficult for him.

With [Primary Insight] and [Primary Analysis], he had a clear understanding of this inscription in his mind.

Soon, his mentality calmed down.

And repairing inscriptions is different from drawing inscriptions.

Like the light-colored inscription in front of us, the overall structure is still intact.

It's just that the spiritual ink is not evenly mixed, causing some lines to fail.

As long as it is re-outlined with spiritual ink, it can be completed.

Of course, this kind of repair tests the experience and vision of the weapon refiner, as well as the proficiency of the inscription.

It is definitely not something that a weapon refiner apprentice can do.

The reason why Zhou Ling was able to analyze the cause so quickly is mainly due to the blessing of two talents.

Zhou Ling carefully took the inscription pen and carefully drew along the lines.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhou Ling repaired this inscription.

After checking it carefully again and confirming that there was no problem, he immediately turned on the switch above.

Suddenly, a bright green ripple of light emanated from the lotus lantern.

It illuminated the entire room beautifully.

"Great!"

Zhou Ling couldn't help shouting.

After repairing this lotus lantern, he could sell more than a dozen pieces of broken spirits.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ling was instantly like a chicken blood, full of motivation, and continued to repair other sky lanterns.

These ten sky lanterns basically have two or three inscriptions, and only one has four inscriptions.

After Zhou Ling repaired five of them in succession, he felt a wave of fatigue.

Half of the spiritual power in his body has been consumed.

He could only stop first, sit cross-legged in meditation, practice the Spirit Flame Technique, and practice.

[You are absorbing spiritual energy, spiritual energy affinity +1, spiritual energy +3]

After running two cycles of the heavenly cycle, it recovered.

"Ling'er, it's time for supper!"

At this time, his mother's voice came from outside.

Zhou Ling looked up, and the bright moon was hanging high outside the window.

It was already the second watch, and the midnight snack that his mother was talking about was actually their dinner.

When it came to festivals, his parents were even busier.

"I'll think of a way to find a part-time job later to share the burden with my parents!"

Zhou Ling said in his heart.

Then he walked out of the room.

On the wooden table, there was a plate of braised beef, a dish of stir-fried vegetables, a bowl of spiritual egg and seaweed soup, and a small dish of fried peanuts.

Zhou Shan had already poured a small half bowl of spiritual wine and drank it slowly.

His beard, which had not been trimmed for a while, made him look even more vicissitudes.

But he sat with his back straight and his eyes were bright.

Zhou Ling knew that there must be something good today.

Zhou Ling sat at the table, and Li Ru served him a bowl of soup.

"Ru'er, this jade hairpin is for you!"

At this time, Zhou Shan took out an exquisite jade hairpin from his body and handed it to Li Ru, coughing a few times.

"Why did you buy this?"

"How many spirit stones did you spend?"

Li Ru was stunned for a moment, took the jade hairpin, and couldn't help asking.

Zhou Shan took a sip of wine and said, "This is a first-level middle-grade jade hairpin, which can isolate the heat. I see you stay in the kitchen every day, and you are exposed to the heat for a long time. It's not good for your health. I have been wanting to buy you one."

"This time I went into the mountain, the harvest is not bad, so I bought it."

This first-level middle-grade jade hairpin cost him seven low-grade spirit stones.

Although he usually lives frugally, his monthly expenses are just to buy some ordinary spirit wine, and he doesn't spend much broken spirit.

But he is willing to buy things for his children and wife.

Feeling the warm breath of the hairpin in his hand, Li Ru pursed his lips, picked up the wine jar, and poured another bowl for Zhou Shan. A touch of tenderness appeared in his eyes, "If you want to buy in the future, you must discuss it with me."

"The child is still young, and there will be many places where you need to spend spirit stones in the future. Save as much as possible."

"I'm used to the heat in the kitchen, it's no big deal!"

"Yeah!" Zhou Shan smiled and nodded, picked up the peanuts and threw them into his mouth, eating happily.

"Dad, Mom, I'm done! I'm going back to my room to sleep first!"

Watching his parents helping each other, Zhou Ling felt warm and helpless.

When he heard his father say this, he realized how hard his mother's work was.

If it was just daily fatigue, then you can recover after a good rest.

But if the fire enters the body, it's completely different.

Once the meridians are damaged, it will have a huge impact on cultivation.

Even if it invades the lungs, it may endanger life.

Suddenly, there is a sense of urgency in my heart, hoping that I can be independent as soon as possible.

Don't let my parents suffer so much!
