After Jiang Qiang leaves. Chen Dengming also walked around by himself. Although this Jingxiufang is not big, and may not be as large as the gathering place, it is better because of the standardized planning, reasonable layout of various buildings and streets, and good use of space. In addition, the aura is twice as strong as that of the gathering place. It makes people feel relaxed and happy while walking around.
Chen Dengming had no intention of spending money to stay in an inn. Looking for a place to hang out for a few nights. One night at an inn in the city requires a low-grade spiritual stone, and there is not much more than a few plates of cheap fruits.
By staying in an inn room for a few less nights, you can save the cultivation resources needed to mobilize the Spirit Seizing Array, and you can break through to the fifth level of Qi training faster.
Strength is the first priority, other enjoyment can be put aside first. And now, in addition to needing spiritual stones for cultivation, he also needs to buy a mid-level magic weapon as a defensive trump card. The low-level magic weapon can no longer cope with some fierce battles.
...Half a day passed, Chen Dengming went into several magic weapon shops and inquired about the prices of mid-level magic weapons. Perhaps it was because he recognized the special dialect of the Lower Riba people.
The magical artifacts in several stores are at least 50% more expensive than what Mr. Hu once sold, as if they were deliberately trying to rip him off. However, even though he didn't buy the magic weapon, he relied on his sweet words and got an invitation letter to the dark workshop.
It is said that in a while, the Lin Family Auction House will have a secret workshop. Chen Dengming counted the time and walked around until he came to the place where Jiang Qiang sold monster meat.
I found that many people had gathered around me. A monk made an offer and directly bought dozens of kilograms of monster meat and packed it away.
After all, it is a monster in the middle stage of Qi training, and its meat is much more valuable than that in the early stage of Qi training. Jiang Qiang sells low-grade spiritual stones for ten kilograms each, which is 30% cheaper than the price at the spiritual butcher shop and 10% cheaper than the normal stall price. There are many people who are interested.
Chen Dengming watched from the corner, secretly observing the expressions of the monks around him. If anyone showed any greed or strange expression, he would secretly note it down.
But after looking around, not two people were interested. Jingxiufang has its own rules. Anyone who dares to cause trouble in Jinxiufang is asking for trouble.
And the monks who can enter Jinxiufang for recreation are not fools. It is not easy for Jiang Qiang to sell the corpses of monsters in the middle stage of Qi training.
From the wounds on the corpse, it can be seen that the person who hunted the monster beasts was powerful. Maybe he was a monk in the late stage of Qi training. He didn't want to offend a powerful monk for some monster meat that could be purchased and incur the death penalty. disaster.
...Chen Dengming observed for a moment, then returned to a suitable resting place he had found earlier and began to practice silently.
The little formation spirit twisted and trembled at his waist unaccustomedly, showing emotions.
"Fellow Taoist, it's not today either. Don't you need me to help you practice?" Faced with Xiao Zhenling's "exploring his head and brain", the tent from his waist down rose and fell, and Chen Dengming's head was covered with black lines.
He pinched the array plate at his waist with his hands and sensed it mentally.
"Ling'er, I asked you to help me practice before, but you cheated and cheated every day. Recently I haven't let you out, so you just leave me here..." In the end, Chen Dengming didn't have the nerve to say the word 'slut', and couldn't bear it. Hurt the soul of a cute creature.
But indeed, he was tired from running around these days, and in order to avoid exposing Ling'er, he did not let the formation spirit help him practice, but simply stimulated the formation practice, and the efficiency dropped by about 30%.
As a result, it now seems that this spirit is about to be suffocated and wants to come out for some air.
"Forget it, come out and get some fresh air. Now that you're sleeping on the streets in this city, it won't be easy for you to practice." Chen Dengming patted the array plate and looked around again.
He was in a dead end at the end of an alley, surrounded by some firewood, earthen jars and other debris. To the front left is the back door of a house, which is quite remote and quiet.
The array spirit floated out and spun around happily, its skirts flying, its clothes as thin as cicada wings fluttering, it was very happy.
Chen Denming took a few glances and felt a little happier. He changed his posture and continued to practice. After traveling long distances in the past few days, he had practiced enough in the art of divine movement and control of weapons, but his fundamental method of three-yuan spirit gathering was somewhat behind, and he was still three-quarters of the way to a breakthrough.
But now his lifespan is as high as 282 years, and he still has 119 years left to live, so he can start to continue practicing the "Destroying Life and Destroying Seedlings".
"My current spiritual energy affinity has reached 50 points. I only need to continue to increase it by 50 points before I can be promoted to a high-grade spiritual root. By then, my cultivation speed will increase again..."
"According to the current situation where every six years of life lost can increase the spiritual energy affinity by four points, I only need to lose 75 years of life to be promoted to a high-grade spiritual root..." Seventy-five Years ago, he could still bear it.
After completing the next set of postures, Chen Dengming began to practice "The Art of Destroying Lives and Destroying Seedlings". ...In a blink of an eye, the dusk on the horizon quietly surrounded the entire Jinxiufang along the mountains.
The entire Jinxiu Square seemed to be gradually lit up, and the colorful lights in the shops were bright one by one. Not only is the market not deserted at night, it is actually much more prosperous.
In the distance, from the Mingyun Mountains, the desolate and sad roars of beasts could be heard faintly, sometimes accompanied by shrill and harsh cries.
But the formation surrounding the city was completely activated. Waves of spiritual energy barriers condensed like water waves and gradually faded away. The powerful spiritual power inexplicably made the people in the city feel extremely safe.
This alone makes the so-called overnight stay worth it. However, this still did not prevent many down-and-out monks and traders from gathering in the wilderness outside the city, using the sky as their blanket and the ground as their mat, wandering around.
They are casual cultivators who make a living in Jingxiufang. I have long been accustomed to going into the shop to do business during the day and taking in jobs, and going out of the city to live nearby at night.
At least at the edge of Jinxiufang City, it was relatively safe at night. What we had to watch out for were not monsters, but the same kind.
Chen Dengming was awakened by the activation of the formation. Only then did I realize that more than three hours had passed and I was already hungry before I knew it.
He lowered his head and twirled two strands of white hair to check, then took out the Ice Spirit Sword and looked at his face against the illuminating blade.
After his energy and energy were depleted, his face looked slightly tired, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes that had recovered appeared again.
"Hahaha, I look old again. The morning is like blue silk and the evening is snow..." Chen Dengming smiled optimistically, smoothed back his white hair, and checked the status on the panel freely.
"Fourth Level Qi Practicing Monk [Chen Dengming] Lifespan: 238\/282 Spiritual Roots: Gold, Wood Martial Arts: "General Outline of Chen's Martial Arts" Taoism: "Refining Gu", "Three Yuan Spirit Gathering Kung Fu", "Chen's Tao" "Dharma Chapter", "The Art of Destroying Lives", "The Art of Controlling Weapons", and "The Golden Touch". In the past three hours, it can be said that he lost ten years of life every half hour.
After seventy-five years of longevity, his spiritual energy affinity also increased by 50 points, and he was directly promoted from a middle-grade spiritual root to a high-grade spiritual root.
Chen Dengming felt that at this moment, his perception of the aura floating in the air had increased a lot, which was simply incomparable.
The range of spiritual energy perception around the body seems to have expanded a lot. Although the scope of control over spiritual energy has not changed substantially, the whole person is inexplicably more confident.
He just felt that the whole world seemed to be much clearer, and the colors seemed to be richer. Many subtle situations that were ignored before were also felt in my heart.
The plants and trees around him, as well as the voices coming from far away, all seemed to be within his awareness. …
"This is, top-grade spiritual root? High-quality qualifications? Even if I have the Xiangke spiritual root now, I can still be said to have good qualifications. Unexpectedly, I have already done something that the demonic seniors who created this technique could not do. Come on, I wonder if there are ruthless people in the demonic path who are willing to risk their lives? Haha, forget it, the demonic monks may not want to risk their lives, but they will be forced to risk their lives..." Chen Dengming's face showed a trace of emotion. A hint of a smile.
The improvement of spiritual roots and spiritual energy affinity shows benefits not only in cultivation.
Due to the enhanced affinity and perception of spiritual energy, the corresponding Taoist skills will be faster, and the casting speed and power will be slightly stronger than those with poor spiritual roots. These are all advantages of good qualifications.
He was in a good mood, even though seventy-five years of his life were lost this time, and it looked like he didn't have many more years to live.
However, the benefits of improving spiritual root qualifications will soon be realized one by one in the future. This crazy way of raising spiritual roots at the expense of life span may only be tolerated by those who can increase their life span from time to time.
If you look at other people, even the old Yuanying monsters with a lifespan of two thousand years may not be willing to waste more than a hundred years of lifespan to improve their spiritual roots unless they are forced to do so. After all, these old monsters may be able to cultivate to the Yuanying level. It took thousands of years.
After all, there are almost no old monsters who can cultivate to the level of Nascent Soul who have poor qualifications. And the so-called longevity limit, unless someone like Chen Dengming can see the specific life span directly on the panel, who knows what his life span really is?
Just like ordinary people know that a person can normally live to be seventy or eighty years old, so the lifespan of a normal person is seventy or eighty years, but there will always be people who die before the age of seventy due to various reasons.
The same goes for monks. They don’t know how much life they have, and they don’t know whether the specific effect of practicing the "Life-Destroying Art of Pulling Out Seedlings" is 50% or 120%. Everything is unknown. Unless it is absolutely necessary, few monks dare to take advantage of life rashly. Meta try.
Those who insist that Lao Tzu's dignified foundation-building monks have a lifespan of two hundred years, but now they only live a hundred years, and I dare to give them a mere twenty years of life, are mostly ducks that have been dead for a long time.
Even the demonic golden elixir monk who created this technique first tried it on many demonic disciples. After the delusional research was mature, he tried it himself to upgrade his middle-grade spiritual root qualifications to high-grade, and then quickly broke through to the Yuan Dynasty. During the infancy period, the lost lifespan is extended.
This plan was so loud that all the monks in the world of cultivating immortals heard it. Unfortunately, the demonic golden elixir monk who created this technique failed in the end. He miscalculated his lifespan and the efficiency of practicing this technique, and died with hatred... At this time After becoming a top-grade spiritual root monk, Chen Dengming felt proud of his horse's hoofs.
There was no rush to strike while the iron was hot to practice. After straightening his clothes, he walked out of the alley and went to the market to watch Jiang Qiang selling meat.
More than three hours had passed, and Jiang Qiang was still very busy, wondering if he had even had a bite of hot rice.
Seeing that the other party was in high spirits, the number of customers around him increased, and a lot of monster meat seemed to have been sold. Chen Dengming gave up the idea of getting closer.
He winked at Jiang Qiang from a distance and quietly sent a message telling him where to stay for the night. Chen Dengming then walked to the voodoo stall over there and inquired about the origin of the voodoo.
However, after some testing, the result surprised Chen Dengming. …
"These Gu creatures come from the Merchant Alliance...?"
"Yes. Originally, these Gu were sold by forces such as Hutong Street from the gathering place, but I heard that that force has been destroyed now. Oh, it's miserable. The manpower and goods here are all taken away by us. After the business alliance acquires the items, our business alliance sells them, and the prices are unified, so there is less confusion.”
"Oh..." Chen Dengming's eyes flashed and he said with a smile and cupped his fists,
"This Taoist brother, to be honest, I am also interested in this business. I wonder who is in charge of your business alliance here?"
"Master Tiger. He also came from the gathering place. When there was a fight over there, they drove out all the people in our business alliance. When Master Tiger came here, he started the Gu business in a big way... ....You want to take refuge? I don't see a chance, now we have more people."...
