Zhao Lin's heart was filled with ups and downs. In the second year after joining the sect, he had mastered four spells. If this was spread, it would definitely cause a shock to the sect.
It usually takes many years of hard work to become proficient in one spell, let alone four spells. Even those monks who have been practicing for twenty or thirty years may not be able to achieve such attainments.
Unfortunately, for the sake of own safety, this matter cannot be made public.
Of course, now you only have the ability to master level 1 spells, and you still need to practice a certain amount to become proficient in combining your skills with your spiritual consciousness.
Early the next morning, Zhao Lin came to a practice room in the Lingdao Academy and secretly practiced the two attack spells of ice knife and flaming arrow.
In the afternoon, I returned to my residence and practiced the two non-destructive spells: Qi Watching and Rock Armor.
In less than three days, he mastered all four spells.
When a spell reaches the proficiency level, not only is its power greatly increased, but the spell casting speed is also twice as fast as that of the junior level, making it easier to gain the upper hand in spells.
The attack spell only takes a quarter of a breath, and the rock armor spell can be cast in one-eighth of a breath, almost instantaneously.
After practicing the magic to this point, Zhao Lin felt that he could go out to perform tasks.
"Elder Nie, this disciple wants to perform sect tasks and earn good deeds and spiritual stones to assist in cultivation."
After morning class that day, Zhao Lin came to the quiet room where Elder Nie was and said bluntly.
The Taoist Governor is responsible for supervising the practice of disciples, and matters such as leaving the county are also within his jurisdiction.
Elder Nie raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and his tone was a little harsh, "Going out on a mission? Don't you know that the disciples of Lingdao Academy cannot leave the county until they reach the middle stage of Qi refining?"
Zhao Lin bowed his head and said: "Elder, this rule is to protect the disciples of Lingdao Academy."
"But you also know that this disciple is a martial arts cultivator. Although his cultivation is at the third level of Qi Refining, his actual combat ability is not inferior to that of a disciple in the middle stage of Qi Refining, and he is capable of protecting himself."
Elder Nie frowned and said nothing.
"My disciple's qualifications are mediocre. He is already thirty-two years old this year. If he cannot accumulate enough resources within a few years, he may not be able to build a foundation in this life."
Zhao Lin presented the facts, made sense, and his tone was quite sincere.
Elder Nie's expression softened upon hearing this, and he asked, "What mission did you take?"
Zhao Lin knew that Elder Nie had relented, so he quickly took out the body-illuminating stone and presented it, "Elder, you see, this is a gold-level mission."
Elder Nie took it, swept it with his spiritual consciousness, and said softly: "Go to the Yinfeng Realm..."
Zhao Lin quickly said: "This is an open mission. There are many fellow disciples in the small world and they can take care of each other. Safety should not be a problem."
Elder Nie was silent for a while, then sighed softly, "I understand your difficulties, so I won't stop you, but you must pay attention to safety."
"Although it is a gold-level mission, there is no risk of life as a rule, but there are no absolutes in the world. Even if it is a cyan-level mission, some people will lose their lives."
Zhao Lin stood up and saluted, "Thank you very much, elder! Elder, please rest assured that all the disciples will come back in one piece."
Elder Nie waved his hand, "Do you have any spiritual stones on you? Buy a Hongyan Talisman and take it with you before entering the Yinfeng Realm. If you don't have one, I will lend it to you first."
Zhao Lin said gratefully: "Disciple has hundreds of spiritual stones here and will buy all the necessary items."
Elder Nie knew without thinking that Zhao Lin must have used good deeds. Without saying anything else, he took out a token and warned: "Go back early and come back early. Don't delay your practice. Give this to the guard when you leave the county."
"yes!"
Zhao Lin bowed again and walked backwards out of the quiet room.
…
Hanchi County is thousands of miles away from the Yinfeng Realm, and you have to take a spiritual boat to get there.
After many inquiries, Zhao Lin has already planned the route: first take the county's spirit boat to Uehara Immortal House in Xiniu Prefecture.
Then transfer to the spirit boat in Fang City to Qiuyang County, which is the closest to the Yinfeng Realm.
When we arrived at Qiuyang County, we still had the last few hundred miles to go. Even if we couldn't find the spirit boat, we could reach there in one day with our legs.
Because the first stop was Fangshi, Zhao Lin decided to buy what he needed there.
Spirit stones are not convenient to carry, and most transactions outside the county are based on spirit coins. Zhao Lin went to the county treasury and exchanged 500 spirit stones for 5,000 spirit coins.
One spirit stone can be exchanged for ten one-yuan spirit coins, and the maximum face value of the spirit coin is worth one hundred yuan, so five hundred spirit stones can be exchanged for only one small bag of spirit coins.
Back at his residence, Zhao Lin fried another twenty kilograms of spiritual rice so that it could be stored for a long time. With the addition of Bigu Pill, he didn't have to worry about starvation even if he stayed in the Yinfeng Realm for two or three months.
The night before departure, Zhao Lin tossed and turned in bed.
Take out the jade slip and read the introduction about the Yinfeng Realm inside repeatedly, keeping the important information in mind.
Going out on a mission for the first time makes you feel uneasy.
"I have spent so much money on this mission. I hope everything goes well. I will collect more yin herbs. Not to mention making my money back, I will not lose too much..."
In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Lin came to the outside of the county early and stood in front of the dock where the spirit boat was docked, waiting.
Hanchi County regularly has spirit boats that communicate with the outside world. Every ten days or so, a spirit boat will be arranged to go to Uehara Immortal Square.
Zhao Lin had already said hello to the monk in charge of the spirit boat and traveled together on the spirit boat.
After waiting for about two-quarters of an hour, a spiritual boat slowly sailed out of the county and flew to the dock.
"Junior Brother Zhao, come up."
The monk who controlled the spirit boat leaned forward and waved his hand twice towards Zhao Lin.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Cheng."
Zhao Lin thanked him, boarded the spirit boat, and handed two spiritual stones to Senior Brother Cheng.
When Lingzhou goes out on business, you need to pay a small carriage fee.
"Sit tight."
Senior Brother Cheng shouted and controlled the spirit boat to quickly rise into the air and fly towards Xiniuzhou.
In addition to Zhao Lin, there were four monks on the spirit boat. There were many boxes and lock bags piled in the cabin, which looked like they were transporting goods.
With nothing to do, Zhao Lin started chatting with the four of them.
Through conversation, we learned that Hanchi County has a shop in Uehara Immortal Square that specializes in selling elixirs, spiritual tea, and spiritual honey produced in the county.
The Lingzhou trip was to transport goods, and the four monks were all employees of the store.
Why not pack so much goods in Qiankun bags?
Although the Qiankun Bag is valuable and scarce, it is impossible for such a large county to not be able to get even one, right?
When Zhao Lin asked this question, the leading old monk laughed and told the reason.
It turned out that it wasn't because the county couldn't get the Qiankun Bag, but because it was of little use.
The Qiankun Bag is made of Mengkong animal skin. The maximum internal space cannot exceed the size of the Mengkong beast itself, and there is still loss during the refining process.
A high-quality Qiankun bag can only store a few stones of items at most.
The kind of Qiankun bag that can easily hold a large ship only exists in legends.
"By the way, what are you going to do in Uehara Immortal House, little friend?"
The old monk finished answering Zhao Lin's question and then asked.
Zhao Lin didn't hide anything and told the truth about the mission he was going to do.
Several monks looked surprised.
"Amazing! The disciples of Lingdao Academy went out on missions in their second year." (End of Chapter)
