Half a month later.
After Ye Qingling recovered, she asked Zhang Liang to give her the things he bought.
Zhang Liang thought those things were just a cover-up, but who would have expected that Ye Qingling actually took out an alchemy furnace and started practicing elixirs in front of him.
Seeing various materials being put into the alchemy furnace one after another, Zhang Liang still didn't understand at all.
Just listen to Ye Qingling say: "The way to make alchemy starts from pharmacology, and you need to understand the mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining properties of various spiritual materials. You can't understand it if you look at it this way. Moreover, I don't recommend that you learn it, since you have already raised spiritual insects. , just raise the spirit insects properly. You should have seen my spirit insect guide, and it is quite powerful."
Zhang Liang smiled bitterly, knowing that he had no chance to make alchemy, so he gave up the idea: "This junior knows."
Another seven days.
Ye Qingling left and left a jade slip for Zhang Liang.
Before leaving, Zhang Liang followed her through a small back door.
That was the problem of Zhang Liang’s frequent absence during roll calls. She will inform the relevant personnel, and in the next three years, Zhang Liang will no longer have to pay the spiritual lobster every half month, and his presence will be acquiesced in the roll call.
Anyway, this kind of roll call is not about calling names one by one, but counting the Dharma boats. There are inscriptions on the Dharma boats.
For such a trivial matter, Ye Qingling could handle it with just one sentence, without even showing his face.
Half a month later, Zhang Liang heard that a fairy ship had docked. He disguised himself and watched.
That night when the fairy ship docked, Ye Qingling finally sent a message to Zhang Liang.
The place where the two met was still the cliff cave along the coast.
However, at this moment, there was a large wooden barrel placed in the coastal cliff cave. The smell of medicine was very strong. As soon as Zhang Liang saw the medicine barrel, he knew that this should be Ye Qingling's method of improving spiritual roots.
At this moment, Ye Qingling is still dressed in white, not stained by dust, and her hair is no longer scattered, but tied up. People can't help but marvel, she is really a fairy.
"Fairy Ye."
Zhang Liang slightly cupped his hands, as if he had seen it before.
Ye Qingling glanced at him lightly and said: "This is a medicated bath for improving spiritual roots. There are three buckets in total. You must take off your clothes and soak for one day and night at a time. You are not allowed to leave the medicated bath during this period. This medicated bath will enhance your spiritual roots every time. The effectiveness will be lower. But no matter how rich your resources are, your spiritual roots can only be upgraded to a mid-grade sixth-level spiritual root at most, and beyond that, this medicinal bath cannot solve it."
"Intermediate level six spiritual root?"
Zhang Liang nodded, this is better than his current low-grade second-grade spiritual root.
Zhang Liang handed over his hand again: "Thank you fairy, that's enough."
This medicinal bath has actually exceeded Zhang Liang's expectations. It is unrealistic to talk about ninth-level spiritual roots, sea-level spiritual roots, and earth-level spiritual roots.
He, the majestic young master of the Black Fish Tribe, only has a ninth-level spiritual root, which is two levels lower than Ye Qingling. And these two levels are very different.
Therefore, looking at Ye Qingling's talk of earth-grade spiritual roots in a calm manner, the probability of possessing such spiritual roots is extremely rare.
In fact, let alone the spiritual roots other than ordinary ones, Zhang Liang's low-grade second-grade spiritual roots are already considered to be one in a million.
Ye Qingling handed over a jade slip: "This is the medicinal bath formula promised to you."
Zhang Liang took it and took a look, sensing the spiritual energy. It was called "Spiritual Bath Marrow Cleansing Tank Method".
Before Zhang Liang could take a closer look, he heard Ye Qingling say: "I still have something to do, so I can't stay for a long time. I will come here once a day from now on. Also, let me tell you, soaking in the medicinal bath may be a bit painful."
"pain?"
Zhang Liang grinned: "The road to immortality is long, so why fear the physical pain for several days?"
"Yeah! That's good if you think so."
After saying that, Ye Qingling drifted away.
The restrictions she has set up here are still there, outsiders are still unable to peep, so it is considered safe.
Zhang Liang looked at the sky and saw that it was less than half an hour before midnight, which meant that he had to take a medicinal bath quickly.
He briefly scanned the eye medicine bath formula, but he couldn't understand it anyway. Even if it was poison, he could only soak it in it.
Soon, Zhang Liang was naked. He looked at the dark medicinal bath, took a deep breath, and sat down inside.
At first, it didn't matter, as long as it wasn't the kind of soaking in boiling water that had to be endured for a day and a night.
After burning the incense, Zhang Liang felt sore and numb all over his body, just like someone's slight touch when his legs and feet are numb due to pressure.
Zhang Liang bared his teeth at the sour feeling, but he could bear it. As long as he stayed still as much as possible, the feeling of touch was not strong.
But soon, the soreness and numbness seemed to penetrate into his bones. Zhang Liang couldn't even feel his own body for a while, as if they didn't obey his orders at all.
Fortunately, after two hours, the soreness and numbness faded away, replaced by pain, a heartbreaking pain.
"What kind of devil's medicinal bath is this?"
After overcoming the pain, the itch came, as if it came from the bone marrow. Zhang Liang looked around for the itch spot in the medicinal bath, but he couldn't find it at all. The itch was inside his body, and he once wanted to tear the flesh and blood apart.
Finally, there's the heat.
The power of Xu Shi's medicine penetrated every corner of his body, from the outside to the inside, and the heat was so extreme that white smoke billowed out of Zhang Liang's head.
…
One day later.
Zhang Liang crawled out of the medicinal bath with difficulty.
At first, the medicated bath smelled of medicine, but now it smelled of medicine. The water of the medicated bath was covered with a layer of grease. Zhang Liang didn't know where so much oil came from in his body. It looked very disgusting.
"brush!"
Not long after Zhang Liang crawled out of the medicinal bath to catch his breath and put on his clothes, when he felt extremely comfortable, Ye Qingling had already arrived.
But today, Ye Qingling's face was covered with a veil. He looked at Zhang Liang, who was neatly dressed, and nodded slightly. This guy knew how to avoid suspicion.
I saw Ye Qingling flicking it casually, and an apple-sized pearl fell into Zhang Liang's hand.
Just listen to her say: "Look at your spiritual roots."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang immediately injected spiritual energy into the pearl. When he saw three cyan filaments appearing on the surface of the pearl, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Is this a low-grade third-level spiritual root?"
Zhang Liang was overjoyed. He couldn't feel the spiritual root. Seeing that after a day of suffering, his spiritual roots were really improved, how could Zhang Liang not be excited.
Even if it is only promoted to one level, it is still what countless people dream of!
"Brush~"
At this time, Ye Qingling waved her hand gently, and another wooden barrel appeared: "This is the second barrel."
Zhang Liang couldn't help but asked: "Fairy Ye, what is the price of this barrel of spiritual materials?"
Ye Qingling glanced at Zhang Liang indifferently: "I paid for some of the materials myself, which is about 3,000 spiritual stones per bucket. If you buy the spiritual materials yourself, it will cost about 6,000 to 8,000 spiritual stones per bucket."
"Hiss~"
At that time, Zhang Liang took a deep breath. This was not only expensive, it was simply outrageous.
At this price, even if I gave the formula to all the fishermen and farmers on the island, no one could afford this barrel of spiritual material.
And those who can afford this money are probably not low in strength, which means their spiritual roots are also not low. Only aristocratic families with some useless heirs and poor spiritual roots would use this method to improve their spiritual roots, right? And when it is raised to the limit, which is the middle-grade sixth-level spiritual root, it is still too high and too low, and the real strong people will not take it seriously.
"Okay! It seems like this is a pretty useless way to improve your spiritual roots."
Zhang Liang's lips twitched: "Thank you, Fairy, for spending so much money to raise these three barrels of medicinal bath for me."
Ye Qingling said calmly: "This is just a fair transaction. You help me eliminate the enemies, and I will help you improve your spiritual roots. It's fair."
After saying that, Ye Qingling drifted away again.
Two more days later.
When Zhang Liang climbed out of the medicine barrel for the third time, he lay directly on the small pond in the cave.
"It's really not a sin that humans suffer!"
Zhang Liang grabbed the pearl that Ye Qingling had not taken away and injected it with spiritual energy. This time, four black hairs appeared, which meant that he had indeed reached the fourth level of spiritual root.
"I'm glad that I finally got what I wanted, but I'd better try not to do such a dangerous thing next time."
Zhang Liang is not stupid. He was lucky this time because he had the protective shell given by the wise man Blackfish. Otherwise, he would have probably been killed.
People cannot be lucky every time, so they must be confident and have sufficient trump cards in order to deal with and bear certain risks.
But if you are like yourself, who has just entered the middle stage of Qi training, fighting against seven or eight things in the late stage of Qi training, without special means, is simply seeking death.
Zhang Liang got dressed, sat cross-legged for a while to recover, and arrived dressed in white.
"The fairy is here?"
Ye Qingling looked at Zhang Liang, who was neatly dressed, and felt that this young man had a bit more calmness and a rare heroic spirit.
"Well! Today is the last time I see you. Tomorrow I will leave Qingfeng Island and return to Lingxian Palace. When the spirit lobsters migrate again, you must show your true colors. By then, someone will give you a way to enter the spirit world. A place in Asgard.”
"Leaving tomorrow? Who will be in charge of Qingfeng Island?"
"You don't need to worry about this. Lingxian Palace will send someone again and they will arrive soon. But I advise you not to cross the border and make friends with strong people. Because not everyone is like me, Ye Qingling."
Zhang Liang cupped his hands and said, "Then I wish the fairy a happy journey."
Ye Qingling glanced at Zhang Liang with complicated eyes, but then thought of his mere fourth-level spiritual root. I am afraid that after this separation, the two of them will never meet again in this life.
"Well, take care."
