Strange mountains and rivers

Seeing that Hu Delu was also very emotional, Chen Huaisheng pondered and said: "Looking at your thoughts, you must have some skills?"

Hu Delu hesitated.

"The disciples in the outer hall of Chuan Gong Academy receive five spiritual stones per month. Each person in Bingshe receives five spiritual stones per month, Yishe receives ten spiritual stones, Jiashe receives twenty spiritual stones, plus three Zuoyuan Dan. The base number of disciples in the middle hall is fifty. Spirit stones, plus eight Zuoyuan Pills, but every time you advance to a higher level, twenty spirit stones and two Zuoyuan Pills will be added. For inner hall disciples, the monthly base number is 150 spirit stones plus twenty Zuoyuan Pills. Thirty spiritual stones and five Zuoyuan Pills will be added for each level of promotion, reaching the peak of Qi Refining to 250. However, such subsidies are far from enough to support everyone's needs, especially the disciples who enter the middle hall and inner hall. It costs a lot..."

Chen Huaisheng also knew this situation.

In Jiashe, he only gets twenty spiritual stones per month. In addition, daily spiritual food is guaranteed, but if you want to eat better spiritual food, you have to go to Hua Lingshi to buy spiritual food.

But what can twenty spiritual stones buy?

According to the current market price in Yijun, jade and wheat are the cheapest, followed by spiritual millet, and spiritual rice is the most expensive. Ten spiritual stones can buy one hundred and twenty kilograms of jade and wheat, one hundred kilograms of spiritual millet, and eighty kilograms of spiritual rice. rice.

If it is monster meat, depending on the level of spiritual energy contained in the meat, ten spirit stones can buy seven to eight kilograms of low-grade monster meat, such as exquisite rabbits and arrow deer. For a first-level monster like a wild boar, ten spirit stones can buy three to four kilograms.

Spiritual plants such as red moss, indigo moss, and ice mushrooms are more expensive because of their abundant spiritual energy. They often cost four, five, or even seven or eight spiritual stones per kilogram, and many times they are still expensive. There is a price but no market.

Because the output is so small, ordinary spiritual fields cannot grow such things at all, and they all rely on picking them from the mountains.

After doing this calculation, you can think about it, what can twenty spiritual stones do?

If it weren't for the ordinary spiritual food tubes such as Yumai Lingsu in the pie, just making ends meet would be able to use up all twenty spiritual stones, which is still far from enough.

The disciples of the Zhike Yuan and the Ministry of Internal Affairs account for about 80% of the disciples of the Chuan Gong Yuan, while most of the disciples of the Law Enforcement Yuan are from the Chuan Gong Yuan. Because they are away from home, it is customary to increase the law enforcement subsidy by 30%.

Even if he is promoted to the middle hall, he will only have fifty spiritual stones. Six hundred spiritual stones in one year, but one light dragon seedling seed costs more than two hundred spiritual stones. The accumulation in one year is not enough to buy three light dragons. Seedlings.

A cold iron horn can be forged in the furnace, and even a cripple would dare to accept two hundred spiritual stones from it.

Zuo Yuan Dan has five spirit stones each, Dao Sheng San Powder has thirty spirit stones per dose, Yuan Shield Talisman has twelve spirit stones each, Strong Shield Talisman has thirty spirit stones each, and Solid Shield Talisman has fifty spirit stones each. , each of the Jianbu Talisman has three spirit stones, each of the Divine Walk Talisman has five spirit stones, and each Flame Edge Talisman has one hundred spirit stones. You have to spend money as soon as you go out. How dare you go out to practice?

What should you do when your cultivation urgently requires a large amount of spiritual materials and spiritual food to support you?

So if you really want to achieve great success by practicing hard in the mountain gate, do you have it? Yes, but it is very rare. Talent, opportunity, hard work, and time are all indispensable. It is too difficult.

It is difficult for most people to do this, or they are from a wealthy family and can provide themselves with sufficient support.

For example, people like Kou Qing, who have never worried about wealth, and people like Tong Tong and Zhao Wuyou, whose families are quite wealthy, are also first class, like Hu Delu and Qin Zeju, who have well-off families. , the family can provide more or less partial support.

Either Zhao Sitian, Yunhe and Luo Xiuyue can find some ways outside.

The simplest and most direct way, which is also very profitable, is to act as a hunter, hunting monsters or capturing spiritual beasts.

This market is infinitely vast, and animal meat has always been a seller's market. All cultivation requires animal meat to replenish spiritual power, and demand has always been in short supply.

The market for domesticated spirit beasts is also very broad. Not to mention the three-toned leopard or the snow dove with a human face, even those with a slightly lower level can easily sell three to five thousand spirit stones.

There are also some other branches, such as making talismans, refining alchemy, and making magic weapons and magic weapons, which are all very profitable.

However, this is not an easy task for many cultivators who lack the connections or skills, so many evil-minded people simply engage in private robberies, kidnappings, murders, and fraud.

For example, the evil cultivator from Baishimen that Chen Huaisheng encountered, and the casual cultivator named Su who died in the battle of Tianzhai, all fall into this category.

"Haha, Delu, why don't you go around in circles with me? Your family background is not good, and I am even more poor. The reason why I have some savings is a coincidence, but it may not be possible in the future. We can't just sit back and rest on nothing, so we should prepare for a rainy day. Preparation is inevitable, if you have any ideas, please tell me."

Chen Huaisheng said easily.

"Senior brother, I don't have any good skills, but you know that I am from Yanjiao. Yanjiao borders Nanchu and Wuyue. There is also a kind of spiritual beast on the Vajra Platform in Yanjiao..."

Hu Delu apparently followed Chen Huaisheng to the Dongfu Ghost Market and saw the selling prices of the Black Leopard and the Snow Dove, and was inspired.

That's all for the Black Thunder Leopard. It's a second-level ferocious beast. If they want to hunt the cubs with this little strength, they will die. Spiritual beasts like the human-faced snow dove may not be much stronger than the first-level monsters in terms of combat power, but they are. Very good goal.

Of course, the spiritual beast produced on the corner of the rock is not the snow dove, but the golden-eyed green otter.

"..., you mean we can hunt golden-eyed green otters?" Chen Huaisheng was a little confused, "Will anyone tame this thing? If you skin it and eat its meat, how many spiritual stones will it be worth?"

"Brother, you don't know something. It was mentioned in the book "Guangwen Weitan" that if this golden-eyed green otter is kept by your side for a long time, it can make the human body emit a strange fragrance. It has an excellent effect of boosting happiness, and the ointment of Golden Eyed Blue Otter can dissolve all scars,..."

Hu Delu hesitated, "Many female cultivators from large sects or wealthy families should be very interested in this golden-eyed blue otter. If we can capture it, we will definitely be able to sell it for a good price."

"You put it this way, it seems that there is something there at Yanjiao, but why doesn't others catch it, and it's still our turn?"

Chen Huaisheng was puzzled.

"There are two reasons. First, although the golden-eyed green otter has average combat power, it is very good at deforming and becoming invisible, so it is difficult to find. In addition, the golden-eyed green otter and the Yunteng golden cat almost all live together, and some monks want to hunt them down. When there are golden-eyed green otters, they often fail to catch the golden-eyed green otters, but are attacked and killed by Yunteng golden cats instead.”

"Second, the golden-eyed green otter is not as famous as the snow-dove, so there are not many people who want to catch it. In addition, Yanjiao is located in a corner, and not many people go there. Generally, they go to Yanjiao. After trading in Longyanfang City, they left, and the King Kong Platform moved to the side of Huozhou. Not many people knew that there was a golden-eyed green otter there, and those who had seen the golden-eyed green otter didn't know the use of that thing... …”

Chen Huaisheng was a little moved.

If this golden-eyed blue otter can really be sold for seven or eight thousand spirit stones, then a trip for myself and Hu Delu, even if it takes ten, twenty days or even a month, will be worth thousands of dollars.

"Delu, are you sure?" Chen Huaisheng asked.

"I didn't expect it before, but now, I'm still 50 to 60 percent sure. I've seen that strange thing once, but that strange thing is particularly good at deforming, changing color, and becoming invisible. Many times, even if you walk up to it, you may not be able to spot it. , the best way is to use spiritual perception, so this ordinary Tao seed cannot be discovered at all..."

The two chatted while walking down the mountain.

As soon as he walked to the Taoist house, he saw Yao Liwei, the direct disciple of the sect leader who received him yesterday, already waiting at the door.

Chen Huaisheng was taken aback and hurried forward to greet him.

Yao Liwei didn't care about this, he just said that he wanted Chen Huaisheng to follow him to Xiaogu Peak to meet the leader immediately.

For a moment, I didn’t know why the master’s uncle wanted to see him.

Yesterday I said everything that should be said. Even if I say that I have broken through two levels in a year and a half, I am still only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. It seems that I am not worthy of the attention of the master in charge.

"Are you a little surprised and confused that you still have to make this trip?"

There were only two people left in the hall. Li Yu looked elegant and had his hands behind his back.

"The master and uncle of the academy call each other, and the disciples will naturally obey the orders. As for what the matter is, the academy master has his own reasons."

"Haha, you are quite naughty. After traveling for so many years, you have gained some experience."

The headmaster doesn't care about Chen Huaisheng's cunning. That kind of person who is too pure, kind and honest may be doing well in his practice, but when the critical moment comes, he may not be able to carry the weight.

"I've looked at your bones..."

Chen Huaisheng was frightened with just one sentence. His spiritual consciousness had reached the level where he could directly observe his Tao body. Wouldn't that mean he had entered the Purple Mansion?

As if aware of Chen Huaisheng's shock, Li Yu laughed, "I haven't reached that state yet, but I am confident that I can advance to the Zifu within eight years, but the skill of Vipassana is nothing and is not worth mentioning. "

"Uncle,..."

Before Chen Huaisheng could say anything else, Li Yu continued to himself: "Your performance is not bad, not entirely because you have continuously broken through and advanced, but because you can understand and find your own path..."

"The faction has been silent for a long time, and there is a lack of young people like you to touch it..."

"The current situation is changing, and our sect is also facing huge challenges. I and other people in the sect have different views. I am very optimistic that you can make a difference in the sect in the future, so I want you to become the direct disciple of the leader... …”

"Being a direct disciple of the head is not about enjoyment and treatment, but more about responsibilities and obligations. Only mediocre people will look at petty profits. The height and realm that a direct disciple can bring is great freedom..."

"I hope you can go to the Shangyuan Taoist Association next spring. Knowledge is one thing, but it's also about climbing high and looking far..."

"..., you don't have to be rigid when you understand the Tao and seek the path..., follow your own path, cultivation is both trekking and surfing,..."

I was delayed and couldn't make a big chapter. I'll try to make up for it tomorrow.
