I will survive with proficiency

The lecture lasted for a whole day, and Chen Ping felt that he was full of knowledge.

‘Is this considered half a foot into the threshold of the herb picker industry? ’ Chen Ping laughed at himself.

Don't overwhelm yourself with too many skills.

Although I will not go out to collect medicine easily.

But it never hurts to learn a little more.

On the way to Black Rock City, when hunting the pangolin beast, he didn't recognize the Qiqingguo that was full of caves. If he encounters a monster again now, his rations will be able to know him well.

Lecture ends.

Chen Ping went to Zhongfang City alone.

Many shops in Luoyue City did not reopen after the disaster, such as the pill shop. However, the Dharma Artifact Shop, the Dharma Robe Shop, and the Book Book Shop opened early and continued.

Chen Ping entered the magic weapon shop and wanted to buy another set of utensils for the Vientiane array and the five-element psychedelic array.

Going out soon, in case you really need to stay outside, two sets of self-defense equipment are very valuable.

Regrettably.

It's gone.

Even the formation tools are sold out? Chen Ping was startled:

"When will there be more supplies?"

The shopkeeper said regretfully:

"I'm afraid there is no supply."

"Why?" Chen Ping was puzzled.

Refining tools are different from talismans. During the Qi training period, monks can draw talismans and become a real talisman master. But the refiner is relatively high-end, and only foundation building can do it.

Chen Ping knew this.

But in Luoyue City, which is so big, there are more than two hundred foundations, not to mention two golden elixirs, so why can't it be refined? As long as there is a demand, won't these foundations make money with spirit stones?

Isn't refining tools better than going out to hunt animals?

Unreasonable.

However, the shopkeeper does not seem to know the specific situation, or maybe knows some but is unwilling to talk about it.

Chen Ping could only let it go.

It wasn't until the next day when Yun Haitang sent the master of the Yun family's medicine collection notes, that Chen Ping asked about it again, and only then did he learn the general situation.

Originally, Ling Xiaozong didn't have many foundations, and there were very few formation masters, so the demand for formation equipment was not large. Array equipment is expensive, and there are nearly a hundred middle-grade spirit stones at every turn. Therefore, there are not many array equipment in the store.

When Luoyue City Magic Artifact Shop reopened, Luoyue City was still in a precarious environment. In this case, the demand for defensive formation equipment has increased significantly.

The utensils in the shop were quickly depleted.

Among the foundation establishment seniors in Luoyue City, there were indeed a few refiners, which allowed them to earn a lot of money in the early days.

However, with the lack of awakening pills, the magic power grew and grew stronger, and the magic power in the aura became more and more intense. Even if a craftsman holds a large number of spirit stones, he still cannot obtain the Awakening Pill, and his cultivation is gradually hindered.

Refining equipment is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive job. A set of first-order formation equipment usually takes more than ten days or even dozens of days to complete.

Not only that, refining array utensils is different from refining other magic utensils.

Refining array utensils needs to extract ground fire.

This process requires a lot of spiritual power from the refiner himself, and requires the use of the soul to communicate with the spirit of the earth.

Under normal circumstances, this is no problem, the big deal is just a little harder.

But when the magic is breeding and cultivation is hindered, trying to extract the ground fire will only further deplete the self and accelerate the growth of the magic.

Accelerate root damage.

In this situation.

Who dares to refine the utensils of the formation at will?

It's better to refine cheaper ordinary instruments, or even hunt animals and collect medicines.

"Chen Daoyou wants a set of utensils for the Vientiane Array and the Five Elements Psychedelic Array?" Yun Haitang slightly turned his cold face to the side.

Chen Ping smiled and said:

"Yeah, I thought about buying one or two sets of self-defense, but I didn't expect it to be gone."

Yun Haitang remembered that she still had a few sets of defensive formations back then, but Luoyue City was in chaos in the past few months, and the demand for such defensive formations increased greatly, so she couldn't help setting them up for others.

At that time, I was secretly happy.

After all, he earned twice as much Lingshi as the normal price.

Now that I think about it, it was a bit sloppy.

Now more expensive.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but blush with shame.

After a pause, he said:

"I do know a refiner, but he may not be willing to refine. If Fellow Daoist Chen needs it, I can introduce it to you."

"That's great!"

"..."

Yun Haitang was free, so she took Chen Ping to visit this foundation cultivator immediately. His name was Liao Xiafu, and he was a guest official of another small sect in Qingyun Region. Because of the sneak attack by the demon cultivator, the sect fell, so he came to Luoyue City to settle down.

Now he is also one of the more than 200 foundation builders in Luoyue City.

Seeing Liao Xiafu, Chen Ping was not only a little surprised, this old man gave him the same feeling as Ouyang Hong back then.

The whole body smells of decay.

I'm afraid it's almost the end of my life.

Liao Xiafu is also a casual cultivator, but he is not alone. He is two hundred years old and has a six or seven-year-old son.

That's right, a six or seven-year-old son.

Seeing Yun Haitang and Chen Ping coming to visit, Liao Xiafu got up to say hello and made tea for them.

After hearing Yun Haitang's explanation of his intentions, Liao Xiafu flatly shook his head and refused:

"At this old man's age, coupled with the breeding of magic, there is no possibility of repairing the foundation. I am afraid that I will not live for a year or two. What is the use of earning those spirit stones? ... Sigh, I have pity on my little son Well, after the old man died, there was no one to take care of him."

"Friend Daoist Yun, Fellow Daoist Chen, I'm really sorry."

Yun Haitang wanted to say something else.

Chen Ping secretly tugged at the hem of her robe, indicating that there is no need to say more, and then got up to leave:

"Then don't disturb Fellow Daoist Liao."

Pulling Yun Haitang with a dazed face away.

In Liao Shangfu's eyes, Chen Ping saw his indifference towards death, as well as his infinite love, worry and reluctance for his son.

It's no wonder that he is old enough to be a child.

Who doesn't want to be a baby.

The problem is that Liao Xiafu is old, but his son has not grown up. At this time, he must be thinking about how to find a way out for his son.

How could Chen Ping take on such a heavy responsibility?

Behind Chen Ping, Liao Shangfu reached out his hand slightly and opened his mouth slightly, wanting to keep Chen Ping and Yun Haitang behind.

But after all did not speak

Just slightly sighed.

He didn't really want to reject Chen Ping, but just wanted to increase some bargaining chips. In his situation, he still cares about whether the foundation will be further damaged. But he hoped to use this as a condition to ask Chen Ping and Yun Haitang to take care of his son after his death.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ping left so simply.

"Oh, that's all. It's all life!"

...

Chen Ping came out of Liao Xiafu's house, walked in the cold wind, glanced inadvertently, and saw Yun Haitang's cheeks were flushed, and she seemed to be short of breath.

It feels strange:

"What's wrong?"

Yun Haitang glanced at Chen Ping, then turned her head away immediately, her face turned redder, and her voice was soft:

"You...you...still holding my hand."

"Ah?...I just said why the hands are not cold." Chen Ping grinned, "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry to pull you out, but I forgot to let go."

this hand...

...Mistake me.

Yun Haitang moved the hand that was let go by Chen Ping, hesitated, and finally put it back in the sleeve.

Walk in silence.

...

When Chen Ping returned to the house, he looked through the medicinal notes borrowed by Yun Haitang, and they were full of dry goods.

The various medicine-finding skills are very subtle.

In every line of business, as long as you want to achieve the ultimate, it is not easy, and there is a lot of knowledge.

After watching it for a while, it was interspersed with exercises.

Don't worry, it will grow throughout the winter, and winter is not the best time to collect herbs, at least until the ice melts.

This is just right, you can concentrate on practicing.

Three turns of Qingyuan Gong +1, +1, ...
