After Gudzhao left, Zhao Lin played with the teacup in his hand and remained silent for a long time.
If a store wants to operate safely, it must purchase a powerful spiritual boat, otherwise it will have to worry about being robbed every time it delivers goods.
However, the price of a cargo-carrying spirit boat that meets the requirements is at least several hundred thousand spirit coins. If a magic circle is installed or stronger hull materials are used, the price will go up.
The damaged spirit boat would require a large sum of money to be paid, and then a new one would be purchased... this year's profits would be completely wiped out.
This is only a problem at the store level, and my own practice is just as difficult.
There are not many spiritual stones and good deeds left, and there will be no dividends at the end of the year. What will I use to practice next year?
My current level of cultivation depends on ten times or even dozens of times of resource investment. Salary alone is definitely not enough.
There is no way, there is only one way to go!
Zhao Lin opened the paper, looked at the moon-shaped plum blossoms on it, closed his fingers, and crushed it into powder.
"Since you want to fight, let's touch it!"
…
Early the next morning, Zhao Lin walked to the lobby and said to the accounting clerk: "Wan Lao, please help me withdraw 20,000 spirit coins. Charge it to my account and pay it back next month."
Gudzhao was startled when he heard this, "Shopkeeper Zhao, what are you doing with such a large amount of money?"
Zhao Lin said calmly: "I have my own uses, don't worry Gu Gu, I will definitely pay it back next month."
Gudzhao had no choice but to keep silent. Zhao Lin was the big shopkeeper and had the right to use the store's funds without anyone's consent.
"Gu Gu, I have something to go out for a few days to help run the store."
Zhao Lin took the spirit ticket from Wan Jingsheng, explained it and went out.
Gu Guzhao originally wanted to ask Zhao Lin where he was going, but when he saw him walking out without looking back, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, his eyes full of worry.
Gu An looked out the door for a while, then came over and whispered: "Uncle Dezhao, why does shopkeeper Zhao take so much money?"
Gudzhao said impatiently: "How do I know? Why don't you ask him?"
Gu An didn't pay attention to Gudzhao's face, and said to himself: "Shopkeeper Zhao left in such a hurry, couldn't he just take the money and run away?"
Gudzhao almost became angry and scolded: "Go back to your work, if you keep talking nonsense, I will send you back to the clan!"
Zhao Lin came to the bank and exchanged the spiritual tickets for 1,200 spiritual stones.
Lingqiao is a large spiritual coin, which is equivalent to a mortal silver ticket. It is printed with the Taoist pattern of Chenghua Sect. Its face value ranges from 500 to 10,000. It is mainly used for large transactions.
Zhao Lin decided to go to Chiwei Island and perform another mission to collect spiritual beads.
Making such a decision was not done on a whim or out of revenge, but because of multiple considerations.
First of all, of course, it is to earn good deeds and spiritual stones and accumulate cultivation resources. Without these two things, it will be difficult to practice cultivation.
Secondly, Chu Hongtian has invited him many times, and the Zifu monks have to give him the respect.
If you want to be successful in practicing Taoism, you must have a wealthy partner and a Dharma ground, and connections are an important part of it!
After building this relationship, Zhao Lin wanted to go one step further and obtain the exclusive right to sell the Chiwei Island Spirit Pearl.
Once this is done, the store will have another way to make money, and the loss of a cargo ship will be nothing.
Last but not least, the Di An Sect robbed his own cargo ship and must take revenge severely!
Last time, we killed fourteen Dark Sect monks. Since they are not enough, we will kill another batch.
Based on these reasons, Zhao Lincai finally made the decision.
However, before carrying out the mission, thorough preparations must be made.
There is no doubt that the Di An Sect has spies in Fangshi, otherwise it would be impossible to accurately intercept the spirit boat in the store halfway.
If he goes on a mission, the Di An Sect will definitely send the most powerful lineup to surround and kill him.
In this case, the cultivation level in the middle stage of Qi refining is not enough. My goal is not to protect myself, but to kill as many Dark Sect monks as possible.
Now that you’ve done it, do it right!
Zhao Lin took the spirit stone to prepare for a breakthrough.
In the later stage of Qi refining, monks can cast second-level spells. These spiritual stones are used to absorb spiritual energy for the spiritual cultivation chart to improve their spell attainments.
Spiritual Pavilion.
Located in the center of the square, branches are drawn from the underground spiritual veins, and then the spiritual energy is gathered using the spirit gathering array to form spiritual practice rooms.
The training effect of the spiritual training room is similar to that of the spiritual cave, but because it is located in a small city, the price is twice as expensive, and additional spiritual coins are charged.
"Advanced spiritual practice room, three days!"
Zhao Lin walked into the Lingxiu Pavilion carrying two large boxes of spiritual stones and said to the monk in charge of reception.
"Sixty good deeds, six hundred spirit coins."
The receptionist monk said, and at the same time he glanced at Zhao Lin with some surprise, thinking that he brought so many spiritual stones here because he thought the spiritual energy here was not enough?
After collecting the merit tickets and spiritual coins, he took out a smooth white jade plaque and pointed inside, "Spiritual Practice Room No. 9."
"Thank you. If you haven't come out in the next three days, don't bother me. I will make up the balance later."
Zhao Lin warned and strode towards the spiritual practice room.
When he came to a stone chamber with the word "nine" hanging on the door, he raised the jade sign and shined it at the stone door, which slowly opened.
Entering the stone chamber, the stone door closed automatically, and then the spirit gathering array suddenly opened.
After a while, rich spiritual energy filled the spiritual practice room.
Zhao Lin put down the box, adjusted his luck and breath for a while, took out a cyan porcelain bottle from the lock bag, and poured out a Chongqiao Pill.
The Chongqiao Pill was originally packed in a pomegranate gourd, but Zhao Lin moved the pill into a bottle in advance.
Otherwise, when the operation comes to a critical juncture, you will be dumbfounded when you open the pomegranate gourd and find that the goods are not right.
After getting ready, Zhao Lin sat down cross-legged and began to practice breathing and breathing.
Even with the Chongqiao Dan, it is impossible to pass the level overnight, especially for important levels such as the later stages of Qi refining, where sufficient warm-up is necessary.
After two hours of practicing, the energy and blood surged, and the spiritual energy in the body gradually increased to a high point.
Zhao Lin tried to attack the Zhengshu point and found that the spiritual orifice was as solid as a rock and the outer barrier was as solid as gold.
If you don't take the Chongqiao Dan and rely on a little bit of polishing, I'm afraid it will take at least a year or two as Chen Yiliang said.
Even so, there is nothing to hesitate about.
Zhao Lin took out the Aphrodisiac Pill, opened his mouth and swallowed it.
He had already taken five Chongqiao pills before, and he was already familiar with the process. The pills melted, and the strong medicinal power, wrapped with spiritual power, rushed straight to the Zhengshu point along the meridians!
The first spiritual aperture on the seventh level is more difficult to break through than any other one before.
With the help of Chongqiao Pill, Zhao Lin practiced his skills until late at night, and finally broke through the barrier of the spiritual orifice in one fell swoop.
There was a "boom" in the body, and violent tremors came.
There was a sudden sound of wind in the spiritual practice room, and spiritual energy continued to gather towards Zhao Lin, forming a whirlpool of spiritual energy that penetrated into the spiritual orifice...
"Seventh level of Qi refining!"
Zhao Lin murmured to himself, feeling the spiritual power in his body surge like a tide, rising to a higher level.
After successfully breaking through the barrier, Zhao Lin did not stop doing his exercises. He took out a yellow medicine bottle from the lock bag and poured out a golden elixir that looked like an ear of wheat.
This elixir is called Huanggu Dan, which is used to stabilize the state. Together with the Ning Yuan Dan and the Chalcedony Dan, it is also known as the Three Treasures Dan of the Qi Refining Realm.
Of course, for Zhao Lin, the Aphrodisiac Pill was the best pill, but it was a pity that there were only two pills.
One day later, the realm finally stabilized.
Zhao Lin slowly finished his work and prepared to practice the second-level spell.
When one reaches the later stage of Qi refining, one's strong spiritual power can control second-level spells, and one can reach the highest level of proficiency.
In fact, in terms of attack power, the proficiency-level second-level spells are not as good as the perfect-level first-level spells.
However, monks' battle of spells is not just a battle of spells.
Just like martial arts masters fighting each other, the more spells you master, the more means you have to win. Moreover, the spells are mutually reinforcing each other, and sometimes they can have unexpected effects.
The reason why second-level spells can become second-level spells is that their power and mystery are higher than those of first-level spells.
There are four second-level spells in the spiritual map: Hundred-edged Leaf Knife, Water Demon Fist, Ice Whirl Hammer, Mountain Collapse and Earth Splitting.
The first three spells all came from the Zhu family's Zhu Lihan. Zhao Lin attended his funeral and traced the spells he had used during his lifetime from the remains.
Collapsing Mountains and Splitting Earth was a spell that was analyzed from the bones at the bottom of the river when he went out for the first time to perform the mission in Yinfeng Valley.
Water Demon Fist is a water-based magic, and it will definitely come in handy during this trip to the sea.
Ice Hammer and Mountain Collapse are both heavy attack spells. The attack range ranges from point to surface. Both spells are worth practicing.
With only a hundred-edged leaf knife, Zhao Lin was a little undecided.
It's not that the spell isn't strong enough, it's that the second-level wind movement spell includes Soaring into the Sky, which is the best flying spell.
If you practice the Hundred-edged Leaf Knife, you can only practice other flying spells.
After thinking about it, Zhao Lin felt that he had absorbed the spirit of Fengli and had certain flying abilities, and he also had no shortage of attack spells.
With a flash of consciousness, he erased the hundred-edged leaf knife from the grid of Fengxing Spell.
Next, Zhao Lin kicked open two boxes filled with spiritual stones and quickly absorbed the spiritual energy in them.
To master a first-level spell, you only need sixty-four spiritual stones.
A second-level spell requires four times as much spiritual stone as a first-level spell for the same attainment, which is 256 yuan.
To master the three spells, a total of more than 700 spiritual stones are needed.
Zhao Lin absorbed all the 1,200 spiritual stones in one breath, and stored the excess spiritual energy in the spiritual cultivation chart so that it could be accessed when needed.
Then activate the spiritual cultivation chart to upgrade all three spells to mastery!
Zhao Lin was refreshed. Second-level spells were more difficult to cultivate than first-level spells. Many monks in the early stages of the Foundation Establishment Realm may not be able to master the three proficiency-level spells.
There was still one day left for the spiritual practice room to be used. Zhao Lin ate two large handfuls of spiritual rice to replenish his physical strength, exercised for a while, and began to practice these three spells.
The spells were shot out one after another, causing waves of mana fluctuations on the wall.
The spiritual energy in the spiritual practice room is abundant. Whenever I feel tired, I meditate to restore my spiritual energy, and the cycle starts again and again...
One day later, three second-level spells have achieved some success!
In the early morning of the fourth day, Zhao Lin walked out of the spiritual practice room carrying two empty boxes.
When he returned to Jindan Hall, the shop had just opened, and Gu An was instructing the mortal servants to clean the dust in front of the door.
"Shopkeeper Zhao? I thought you..."
In the middle of his words, Gu An realized that he had made a mistake and quickly shut up.
"You thought I wasn't coming back, right?"
Zhao Lin finished speaking for him and walked inside.
Gude Zhao was checking accounts with Wan Jingsheng. When he saw Zhao Lin, he stood up quickly and said, "Shopkeeper Zhao, the goods have been shipped and the spirit boat has been sold at a discount. Here is the list."
Zhao Lin took the list, glanced at it casually, and immediately returned it to Gudzhao, "I can rest assured that it will be done in ancient times."
"I have to go out one more time. During this time, I will leave the store to Gu Gu. If you have anything to do, you can handle it yourself."
Gudzhao was surprised when he heard this: "How long will Shopkeeper Zhao be out?"
Zhao Lin roughly calculated that it was mid-October now, and he could catch up with the task in early November at the earliest, and said: "About half a month!"
"so long……"
Gude Zhao was talking when he suddenly noticed that Zhao Lin's temperament and demeanor seemed different from the past. He used the Qi Watching Technique to see that his cultivation had actually advanced to the seventh level of Qi Refining.
I couldn't help but be shocked. At the beginning of last year, Zhao Lin's cultivation was at the fifth level of Qi Refining. He broke through the first level in one year. This speed was too amazing.
Zhao Lin laughed, turned around, walked out, and walked away
After leaving Fangshi, we went straight to the seaside pier and boarded a sea boat heading to Chiwei Island.
Half an hour later, a long and narrow island appeared in front of us.
Half of the island is filled with white fog, and the other half is filled with black fog. It is Akao Island!
…
Harmonious hall.
The moment Zhao Lin landed on Chiwei Island, Yang Quan walked into the inner hall and said to shopkeeper Tian: "Sir Tanaka, Zhao Lin has gone to Chiwei Island!"
Shopkeeper Tian waved his sleeves, put away the pills on the table, and asked, "Are you following him?"
"No!"
Yang Quan quickly shook his head, "There are some of our people at the dock, and we saw him get on a spiritual boat going to Chiwei Island with our own eyes."
Then he frowned and said, "What do you think he went to Chiwei Island for?"
Shopkeeper Tian pondered for a moment and said: "There are only three types of people on Chiwei Island: the guards stationed on the island, the boatmen who transport supplies, and the monks who perform tasks."
Yang Quan was stunned for a moment and then understood, "Sir Tanaka, do you mean that he is going to perform a mission?"
Shopkeeper Tian sneered, "With the loss of a spiritual boat and a whole ship's worth of goods, I think the store will no longer be able to operate."
"I have no choice but to take risks!"
Yang Quan's eyes lit up, "Great, shall we inform the sect about this now?"
Shopkeeper Tian thought for a while and slowly shook his head, "I am just guessing and there is no conclusion yet. You can inform the sect of this person's whereabouts first. It is up to you all to decide how to judge."
"What if he doesn't come back?"
Yang Quan said worriedly.
"What are you in a hurry for?"
Shopkeeper Tian chuckled and said calmly: "There is still some time before the mission starts, and as long as he carries out the mission, he must go to the Shanggong Hall in Dongfu County to receive the mission."
"We just need to send people to keep an eye on the Shanggong Hall."
Yang Quan immediately praised: "Your Excellency is wise!"
After speaking, he grinned and said with excitement, "As long as he dares to carry out the mission, the sect will definitely kill this beast, and we will do a great job!"
Shopkeeper Tian's expression was calm, "Don't underestimate this person. He killed many late-stage Qi Refining monks from our sect when he was at the fourth level of Qi Refining. Now he is at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and his strength may have gone even further."
Yang Quan nodded and responded: "I'll spare it for you, but the sect will definitely send out realm-changing monks this time!"
Hearing the words "Monk of Realm Transformation", Shopkeeper Tian showed a smile on his face: "That's right! If the Monk of Realm Transformation takes action, he will definitely die without a burial place." (End of Chapter)
