Early next morning.
When the first ray of morning glow passed through the clouds, it shone in Lin Tianming's small courtyard.
Opening his eyes, Lin Tianming sat in front of the window. After a night's rest, he regained his composure.
Through the window, Lin Tianming looked at the sky outside and fell into deep thought.
More than half a year has passed since he entered the foundation building period.
Speaking of which, time really flies by in the blink of an eye. For a monk in the foundation building stage, a year is just one or two retreats. Even for a Qi Refining monk, it is not a long time.
In the past half year, although his cultivation has not improved much, he is still at the first level of foundation building, barely reaching the middle stage, and is still a long way from the second level of foundation building.
But aside from his cultivation, he has entered a great realm in alchemy and magical powers.
For six months, he studied alchemy, practiced magical powers, and tried every means to improve his strength, just to increase his means of survival.
Hard work pays off……
Fortunately, efforts and rewards are directly proportional. It took several years of accumulation to create a larger sword array and a powerful Tiangang Sword.
Now, he has successfully become a second-level low-grade alchemist. In terms of magical powers, he has the Earthly Sword Formation to trap enemies, the powerful attack methods of the Tiangang Nine Swords, and the Great Sun Sword Qi Technique that has been condensed for several years. His The means of confronting the enemy can be said to have taken a big step forward.
"I have been involved in foundation building for so long. After half a year, I am looking for opportunities. It's time to go out and practice!"
"But before leaving, try to improve your alchemy skills as much as possible. Otherwise, after leaving the family, it will no longer be possible to practice in a safe and clean environment as before!"
After talking to himself, Lin Tianming simply tidied up the room and then entered the alchemy room.
Sitting in the alchemy room, he skillfully made various preparations for alchemy, and then began to adjust his condition.
Since I have already refined the second-level elixir twice, it will be much easier to refine the elixir again.
In the alchemy room, the elixir materials are decomposed and purified, and then the spirit infusion is completed. The alchemy is not considered successful until the aroma of the elixir overflows.
More than twenty days passed in a flash, and he had finished refining the ten elixir materials he had previously exchanged for elixirs.
Ten ingredients for the elixir were successfully used in four furnaces, and the elixir yield rate was also three to four, which was basically stable.
He looked at the several jade bottles in front of him, which contained thirteen second-level Lingyuan Pills, with a satisfied smile on his face.
After these days of practice, the alchemy aspect has barely reached a level of profitability.
He planned to exchange the refined elixirs for elixirs, and take the opportunity to improve his alchemy skills and earn some spiritual stones. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to be penniless when he went out to practice.
After cleaning up the alchemy room briefly, he left the alchemy room and flew towards the Shanggong Hall.
After a while, Lin Tianming and Lin Xingcheng sat opposite each other.
After a few simple chats, Lin Tianming asked:
"Uncle Clan, how many second-level spiritual elixir materials are there in the family? Can they be used for elixir refining?"
After speaking, Lin Xingcheng took out the recorded book, checked it, and said solemnly:
"It is difficult to collect the materials for the second-level Lingyuan Dan. In the past, the family did not have a second-level alchemist and could not refine the second-level elixir. Over time, we have collected a lot of materials."
"There are more and more foundation-building monks in the family now. If we have to supply seven or eight monks for training, the supply of elixirs will soon exceed the demand."
"In the past two years, your grandfather has become a second-level alchemist and has consumed a lot of materials. He has almost consumed the inventory obtained from the family war."
"The level of the family's alchemy refining is not high, and the amount of elixirs refined every month is limited. The family collects it through Luoyunfang City, and the Jin family and the Wu family have large elixir gardens. So far, normal supply is guaranteed. It can be done.”
After hearing what Lin Xingcheng said, Lin Tianming nodded, fully agreeing with what he said.
When an alchemist advances, he needs a large amount of elixir materials to practice, which will consume a huge amount of resources in a short period of time, and it is difficult to achieve results. Unless the alchemy talent is incredible, it is possible to achieve a certain rate of elixir formation in a short period of time. The number of pills must reach the bottom of profit, otherwise most people cannot afford it.
Grandpa was lucky. In order to no longer rely on outsiders, the family spent a lot of resources on letting him practice his skills. Only then did the family once again have a second-level alchemist.
After coming back to his senses, Lin Tianming asked:
"Uncle Clan, I need a lot of elixir materials to practice now. I wonder how many materials can be exchanged?"
After Lin Xingcheng thought for a moment, he replied:
"There are only over fifty copies of elixir materials registered in the warehouse and the elixir garden. How many do you want?"
Lin Tianming considered that he only had less than two thousand spiritual stones, which were given by his grandfather, plus thirteen pills, and planned to exchange them all into elixir materials. After refining, he would exchange the elixirs for Spiritual stone, return it to grandpa.
After making up his mind, he took out the elixirs and spiritual stones from his body and handed them to Lin Xingcheng.
After taking the elixirs and spiritual stones, Lin Xingcheng added them together, then went into the warehouse to get the elixir ingredients for him.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Lin Tianming left the Shanggong Hall with twenty-five elixir ingredients.
Returning to his small courtyard, he once again entered into a crazy state of alchemy.
Time flies, and two months have passed.
In the alchemy room, Lin Tianming looked tired. There were more than twenty jade bottles in front of him, which contained the elixirs he had worked so hard to refine.
For two months, he refined the elixir during the day and meditated at night to restore his spiritual power and consciousness, without losing any time.
After exhausting all the good deeds and spiritual stones in his body, plus the previously refined elixirs, he exchanged twenty-five points for the elixir materials, and after two months of seclusion, he completely refined them.
As more and more second-level elixirs were refined, his alchemy skills improved rapidly.
Now, he is refining the second-level Lingyuan Pill, and the pill success rate is stable at 50%, and the number of pills is around four, which can be said to be a huge improvement.
Before he retreated, he exchanged twenty-five elixir materials and successfully obtained forty-eight second-level Lingyuan Pills.
Looking at the harvest, Lin Tianming showed a happy smile.
After putting the elixirs into his storage bag, he stood up. After cleaning up the alchemy room, he walked out.
After a while, he came to the family charity hall.
After finding Lin Xingcheng and chatting for a few words, he took out fourteen bottles of Lingyuan Pills, a total of forty-two second-level Lingyuan Pills.
Since he did not plan to take the elixirs for practice yet, he only left six elixirs for emergencies and exchanged most of them for spiritual stones.
Lin Xingcheng took the elixir, scanned his consciousness, and confirmed that the elixir met the requirements, and then said:
"Forty-two pills, a total of 6,720 points of good deeds."
Lin Tianming nodded and said:
"Uncle Clan, exchange five portions of elixir materials, and the rest will be settled in spirit stones!"
Lin Xingcheng responded, then entered the warehouse deep in the hall and fetched him the elixir and spiritual stone.
After a while, Lin Xingcheng came out again with a storage bag in his hand and handed it to him.
Taking the storage bag, he stretched out his consciousness, and the items in the storage bag came to mind, including a total of five elixir materials and more than 5,600 spiritual stones.
After confirming that the quantity was correct, Lin Tianming did not stay long. After clasping his fists and exchanging a few words, he left the Shanggong Hall with satisfaction and flew towards the Alchemy Hall.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Lin Tianming appeared outside the main hall of the Alchemy Hall.
The main hall was very lively at this time, and more than a dozen young tribesmen were sitting on futons, listening to Lin Shigong explain the basic knowledge of alchemy.
Among the young tribesmen, like him, they were also members of the Tianzi generation, there were men and women, and they were all under the age of twenty.
A tribesman wearing a golden robe stood up and asked Lin Shigong on the high platform:
"Grandpa Six, is the Jindan fire you always talk about the unique flame of Jindan Master?"
When he heard questions from his tribe, Lin Shigong answered them patiently with a smile and an amiable look on his face.
Outside the main hall, he was in a trance as he witnessed the whole process, as if he had returned to the scene when he was a boy more than ten years ago.
Looking at his clan brothers and sisters who were concentrating on learning basic alchemy knowledge, he had the same experience ten years ago, but there were not many clan members in the family at that time, and they did not have so much energy and resources to train a large number of alchemists.
Nowadays, with the encouragement of a large amount of resources and policies, and in conjunction with the inheritance of other families, the Lin family has a large number of talents in the four arts of immortality. Many members of the family under the age of twenty have become first-level middle-grade alchemists and even weapon refiners. .
After coming back to his senses, he watched his grandfather concentrate on explaining the knowledge. He did not interrupt and waited quietly aside.
Half an hour later, Lin Shigong finished teaching and dismissed all the clan members.
After the clan members dispersed, Lin Tianming walked forward, and his grandfather and grandson sat in the main hall and started chatting.
"Tianming, you have been refining elixirs recently. What is the rate of elixirs now? What is the number of elixirs?"
When his grandfather asked about his alchemy skills, Lin Tianming did not hide it and truthfully explained his progress.
Although he had long known that his talent in alchemy was astonishing, he was still surprised when he heard the answer in person.
I think back then, after he successfully built the foundation, it took him three years and hundreds of furnaces of elixirs to refine before he reached Lin Tianming's level.
"You kid, you are really incomparable!"
Lin Shigong exclaimed with a thick smile on his face, but he was extremely happy inside.
After he calmed down, he asked:
"It's been a while since you entered the foundation building stage. Do you have any plans for the follow-up? What are your plans?"
Lin Tianming chuckled. He came here today just to discuss with his grandfather and listen to his opinions.
Since grandpa took the initiative to ask, he answered:
"Grandpa, it will be difficult for my grandson to make progress in a short time. Therefore, he wants to go out and have some experience!"
Lin Shigong frowned, remembering what the patriarch Lin Shihua mentioned to him, and then said:
"Tianming, in one month, the regular family meeting will be held. The family wants to organize a caravan to go to Qianchuanfang City for development. I suggest you participate!"
"Organize a caravan to develop in Qianchuanfang City?"
Seeing Lin Tianming's confused expression, Lin Shigong explained:
"A few years have passed since the family war. Now Qianchuanfang City is well run by the family. However, in the past few years, the number of high-level monks in the family has increased rapidly, and there are many clan members above the ninth level of Qi Refining."
"As the number of mortals under management grows larger and larger, the number of Lin family members increases rapidly. If we just guard Luoyunfang City, we will have nothing to do. In another ten years, when the resources accumulated by the family are exhausted, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue to develop!"
After hearing his grandfather's explanation, although Lin Tianming was hardly involved in the running of the family, he quickly understood the reason.
After the family war ended, the territory controlled by the Lin family exceeded twenty towns, and the mortal population reached two million.
With such a huge scale of mortals, every three years, the family will add at least dozens of clansmen with spiritual roots. After a few years, the number of monks in the family has probably exceeded its peak.
As the treatment of the clan members has increased significantly, the family needs a lot of resources every year just to support these clansmen with lower cultivation levels.
This is only part of it, the majority are still the tribesmen in the foundation building stage, and the tribesmen who cultivate the four arts of cultivating immortals.
After all, there are eight clansmen in the foundation building stage and more than ten clansmen at the ninth level of Qi refining and above. The monthly salary of these senior family members requires a lot of spiritual stones.
When it comes to cultivating skills, he knows very well that the consumption is simply a bottomless pit. Even so, for the long-term development of the family, even if it costs money, he has to support the development of the four arts of cultivating immortals.
Fortunately, after several years of support from the family, the family has made considerable progress in cultivating the four arts of immortality.
Grandpa and he have entered the second-level alchemy master one after another. Lin Xingyuan has also broken through the foundation building. Before that, he was already a first-level high-level alchemist. It won't be long before he will also enter the second-level alchemy level.
In terms of weapon refining, it has always been the family's strength before.
Although Lin Shilu is still a second-level mid-level weapon refiner and it will be difficult to advance to the next level in a short time, there are no less than five first-level high-level weapon refiners in the family, and the number is still increasing. As long as they break through the foundation building stage, Sooner or later, he will become a second-level weapon refiner.
In terms of other skills, in terms of making talismans, there are still no second-level talisman makers, and there are only two first-level high-grade talisman makers, but they are also developing rapidly. As long as talented tribesmen engage in this skill, they will always be discovered.
As for the formations, they are too picky about the understanding of the tribesmen. So far, only two tribesmen have become the first-level mid-level, but they are better because they are young and have good talents. There is still a lot of room for improvement.
Thinking about it this way, the resources that the family consumes every year are probably astronomical.
Although the Lin family received resources worth nearly one million spiritual stones after the war, they would not be able to sustain their development for long.
Based on this calculation, it is expected that the family should indeed find new ways to make money and make more preparations.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming finally understood why the family made arrangements in advance.
After regaining his composure, Lin Tianming asked:
"Grandpa, I don't know how the clan plans to arrange this matter. Is there any news about it?"
Faced with Lin Tianming's inquiry, Lin Shigong thought for a while and realized that what happened in Qianchuanfang City was no secret, and besides, it was his grandson, so he said directly:
"This matter has not been decided yet. It is just a topic discussed privately by a few of us old guys. In a few days, there will be a regular family meeting. This matter is likely to be mentioned. Once passed, it will be implemented soon."
After saying this, he continued to add:
"I'm just revealing it first. You can also refer to it. Don't pay too much attention to this matter!"
Lin Tianming nodded after hearing this. There was only one month left before the regular family meeting, so there was no need to be so anxious.
You only need to wait for the family's decision, and then decide on the experience after comprehensive consideration. As for this period of time, it is better to practice and make more preparations.
After making up their minds, after chatting with grandpa, the two left the alchemy hall together. chaptererror();
