Three third-level spiritual stones lay quietly in the box, releasing pure spiritual energy and floating in the air, making people intoxicated by the smell.
Snapped!
Ling Xiao closed the box and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes.
Finally got it.
Since establishing the foundation, he has been wanting to replace some third-level spiritual stones in case of emergencies.
Unfortunately, it coincided with the war, and the third-level spiritual stones were strictly controlled, and he couldn't exchange them at all.
Nowadays, only the Red Sect can obtain third-level spiritual stones.
It’s just that the cost is relatively high.
A third-level spiritual stone, you need spiritual stones to redeem it!
In special times, there is no other way.
Moreover, even at this price, third-level spiritual stones are extremely popular. You need to queue up to reserve them, and you must be a foundation-building monk before you can redeem them.
Ling Xiao waited for half a month!
Good things, don’t be afraid of being late.
The reason why third-level spiritual stones are so popular is that they can quickly restore lost mana. Holding one in battle can prevent you from running out of mana.
Mana is the source of a monk's power.
Once all mana is used up in combat, it is equivalent to death.
In addition, third-level spiritual stones can also be used for inlay formations, cultivation, etc. It is said that practicing with third-level spiritual stones can double the speed of cultivation out of thin air!
It’s just that no one has the luxury to use it like this.
Even Ling Xiao couldn't do it.
"It means I'm still not rich enough. Otherwise, if I practice like this, I'll probably be in the middle stage of foundation building in one or two years..."
Ling Xiao paid the money and thought so.
The higher his cultivation level and the more people he comes into contact with, the more Ling Xiao feels his poverty!
"Senior, do you need to order other items?" The man in black asked respectfully.
Ling Xiao pondered for a moment and asked, "I want to buy a technique. Can the Red Clothes Sect help me find it?"
The man in black hesitated and said: "Senior, this sect does not accept reservations for martial arts. After all, there is no unified standard for martial arts. I am afraid that the ones you find will not meet the requirements of seniors."
"How about you take a look at the exercises our store sells?"
Ling Xiao felt slightly disappointed and shook his head.
How could he take a fancy to those high-end goods that were put up for sale?
When he was about to leave, he suddenly heard someone say: "It's okay, help him find it!"
Ling Xiao was surprised and turned around to look, only to see that the person speaking was the "new foundation builder" who just walked in.
This person's voice was sharp and unpleasant, like glass scratching a blackboard, which made people's hair stand on end.
The man in black bowed and said, "Yes, Master Suzaku! Senior, I don't know what kind of technique you want to buy. Please list the conditions. The more detailed the better."
Ling Xiao was secretly happy, so he entered the requirements for the exercises into the jade slip and gave them to the man in black.
The body-building exercises suitable for the cultivation of foundation-building monks require high quality, do not pursue the speed of cultivation, only require a smooth and rigorous cultivation process, and reject all magic methods. The budget is controlled within 200,000 spiritual stones.
After Ling Xiao mentioned the conditions, he was about to thank the so-called "Lord Suzaku", but saw that the other person had already walked upstairs, so he had to shrug.
After reading Ling Xiao's conditions, the man in black's eyes became serious.
"This sect cannot guarantee that we will be able to find a technique that our seniors are satisfied with, so we can only do our best. For a deposit, consider it 50,000 spirit stones! If there is no news within six months, our sect will refund 80% of the deposit. What do you think? how?"
"no problem."
Ling Xiao readily agreed and gave a deposit of 50,000 spirit stones, but secretly cursed these profiteers in his heart.
If you can't find it, you still have to charge him 10,000 spirit stones. You guys are so good at doing business!
Despite the scolding, Ling Xiao had to resort to the Red Clothes Sect's methods.
After all, he had been looking for body-building techniques for so many years and couldn't even find a hair on it. There was really nothing he could do.
Hopefully there will be good news within half a year.
After wandering around the Donghuang Market, Ling Xiao returned to Jiang's camp and continued his life as a charm maker.
"Young Master Ling!"
"Young Master Ling is back!"
The Jiang clan members he met on the road greeted him friendly and cordially.
Nowadays, Ling Xiao can be said to be the most popular person in the Jiang family. The "top-quality talismans" he made have become important materials that the Jiang family members compete for!
"Hello."
Ling Xiao greeted them calmly and then ran away quickly.
Recently, more and more clan members are trying to buy talismans from Ling Xiao privately through their connections, which annoys the latter.
There is no way, the Jiang family has allocated too few talismans!
Although Ling Xiao handed over 18 cards every day, most of them were reserved for those missions with a high risk factor. Ordinary tribesmen got very few of them.
Correspondingly, having the best talismans to protect them not only greatly improved the Jiang family's survival rate in dangerous missions, but also earned them a massive amount of military exploits.
In the past, the Jiang family would never have dreamed that their military exploits would one day rival those of the five major families in the imperial capital!
In this world, military exploits are resources!
Ling Xiao, on the other hand, has earned a lot of military exploits for the Jiang family and is like a god of wealth.
…
After learning that Ling Xiao was growing medicine in the tent, the Jiang family generously expanded his tent several times and allowed him to do as much as he wanted.
Returning to the tent, Ling Xiao planted a spiritual grass that he had just found, took care of it briefly, and then collected the spiritual grass that was almost spiritually warm.
Finally, make the talisman.
Ling Xiao once again lived a regular life.
Until one night more than a month later.
East Imperial City, above the city wall.
Leaning on the railing, you can see the vast land in the distance.
Darkness weighed heavily on the Donghuang Plain. The corpses during the day were no longer visible, and the blood on the ground blended into the darkness, as if it was an innately rich color.
Only the smell of blood in the wind reminded the people on the city wall what tragic things had happened.
"The enemy's frontal defense is impregnable, and there are no flaws on the flanks. They have invested more troops than we expected."
"Now the battle lines have not changed for more than two months, and the Longbo Mountains are all in the hands of the enemy. If medium and large countries intervene to mediate and redraw the national boundaries according to the current front, we in Beiliang will suffer a big loss..."
On the city wall, there is a three-dimensional sand table floating. More than a dozen people gathered here, worryingly discussing the next battle plan.
Among them were many old acquaintances.
Han Shan, Shi Yu, Yang Zhenren, and the most indispensable one, Jiang Yu.
After several years of experience, Jiang Yu has long since put away his cynicism. His fair face is slightly tanned by the sun, his brows are slightly furrowed, and his expression reveals a hint of perseverance and calmness.
"If we want to break the situation in the short term, we have to move dangerously and send the main army to pretend to attack the east and west flanks, forcing Izumo to send troops to defend. Then we will gather our troops, break through from the front, and go straight to the middle palace..."
Master Yang slowly analyzed the situation.
"If you send the main force out to pretend to attack the flanks, how can you gather the people to break through from the front? We don't have that many troops!" Shi Yu shook his head repeatedly.
"If we don't send the main force, Izumo Country will never believe it."
"This tactic is too dangerous! I'm afraid that Izumo will do the opposite and sneak in from the front while the main force is away. By then everything will be over!"
Others hold a different view.
Jiang Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Send a team to bypass the Longbo Mountains, sneak into the enemy's rear, and destroy Izumo Country's logistics supplies."
