Shen Long took off the somewhat worn blue storage bag from his waist with a look of reminiscence on his face. This was what his father Shen Guang bought for him when he advanced to the first level of Qi Refining.
"You want to see people when you are alive, you want to see corpses when you die, father and mother, I will definitely find you."
Shen Long said to himself, his eyes firm.
He turned the mouth of the storage bag downward and shook it gently. After a blue glow passed by, there were some things on the ground, a blue cloth bag, a clay pot, a blue flying knife, a black shield, a golden armor talisman, and three Twelve spiritual stones and a bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill.
This is all his belongings. He has the three spiritual roots of water, wood and fire. He practices "Xuanshui Jue" and can only practice to the ninth level of Qi refining. This is his mother Liu Yun's main practice and has been passed down for seven generations.
He has practiced the Fireball Technique and the Xuanshui Shield to perfection. The former is an offensive spell and the latter is a defensive spell. However, he has never used the Xuanshui Shield in front of outsiders, so he must be on guard against others.
It is very dangerous for the demon hunting team to hunt demon beasts. The most dangerous thing is not the demon beasts, but other immortal cultivators. There are many cases where demon hunters turn against each other for property and fight.
Shen Guang and Liu Yun went treasure hunting with their friends, and they probably found a huge treasure. Seeing the wealth, their friends took advantage of it and killed people to seize the treasure.
This is the worst case scenario that Shen Long thought of. After working in Qiaobing Hall for five years, he came into contact with many casual cultivators. Many of them went out and never returned. No one knew what happened to them.
Shen Long opened the green cloth bag and found some golden rice grains inside. The rice grains were plump and fragrant.
This is Golden Pearl Spirit Rice, which matures once a year. The average yield per mu is more than 300 kilograms. Golden Pearl Spirit Rice contains spiritual energy and is suitable for Qi Refining monks to eat. It has certain benefits for cultivation, but the taste is average.
The biggest advantage of Jinzhu Lingmi is that it is cheap, with a price of ten kilograms of Lingshi.
Better quality spiritual rice has a longer growth cycle, contains more spiritual energy, and tastes better, but it is not cheap, and casual cultivators like Shen Long are reluctant to buy it.
For him, as long as it can satisfy his hunger and help his cultivation, he heard that the Chen, Han and Li families planted a lot of silver marrow rice.
Silver marrow rice matures once every three years, with a yield of two hundred kilograms per mu. It contains abundant spiritual energy, has a soft texture, and has fine rice grains.
The new generations of the Chen, Han, and Li families all grew up eating silver marrow rice, which was distributed on a monthly basis and received free of charge until the age of eighteen.
Shen Long cultivated to the fifth level of Qi refining at the age of seventeen. He also had three spiritual roots. At the same age, most of the new generations of the Chen, Han, and Li families were at the sixth level of Qi refining, and a few reached the seventh level.
In addition to their relatively fast cultivation speed, the new generations of the Chen, Han, and Li families live in spiritual places with abundant spiritual energy to practice. Some of them have auxiliary magic weapons or spirit gathering arrays to assist their cultivation. Those who are wealthy even raise spiritual beasts.
Spirit beasts require more resources than immortal cultivators, which is a disadvantage. Their lifespans are generally longer than immortal cultivators of the same level, which is an advantage.
Monks who come from a cultivating family or a cultivating sect are likely to inherit spiritual beasts, birds, and insects when they are born, and their starting point is much higher than that of casual cultivators.
There are many casual cultivators in Qianzhu Valley who hunt monster beasts, and there are only a handful of casual cultivators who own spirit beasts, most of which are fighting spirit beasts.
Only wealthy monks would keep such spiritual beasts as ornamental ones.
Shen Long heard that the Li family raised a lot of ice-bearded spirit fish. This kind of spirit fish has delicious meat and can be cooked into spiritual meals and sold. It is expensive and is also beneficial to cultivation, but ordinary Qi refining monks cannot afford it.
Shen Long grabbed a handful of golden pearl rice, put it into the clay pot, and used the water polo technique. Little blue water vapor emerged and turned into a blue water polo as big as the mouth of a bowl. It fell into the clay pot and was washed for rice. water.
A red light lit up in his palm, and a red flame emerged from his palm, wrapping around the clay pot.
Not long after, the water in the clay pot boiled, and a strong fragrance of rice wafted out. However, Shen Long didn't have much appetite, but was a little off-putting.
Since his parents disappeared, he has been relying on Jinzhu Lingmi to eat, and he has long been tired of it. This is the daily life of most casual cultivators. Immortal cultivators from the Chen, Li, and Han families have at least one or two side dishes, which are relatively Wealthy cultivators eat spiritual meals three times a day.
After a while, the flames in Shen Long's palm dissipated. He placed the pottery pot on the stone bed, took out a wooden spoon, scooped it into the pottery pot, put it to his mouth and started eating.
It didn't take long for the jar of spiritual rice to be finished.
His abdomen was slightly warm, and a weak spiritual energy rose in his abdomen and spread towards his limbs and bones.
He quickly sat down cross-legged and used his kung fu to refine the spiritual energy.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, he stopped.
With his fifth-level cultivation of Qi refining, a jar of Golden Pearl Spiritual Rice provides very little spiritual energy, and its main function is to satisfy his hunger. If he wants the spiritual rice to provide more spiritual energy, he needs to eat more expensive spiritual rice. For now, It's a luxury.
He only had thirty-two spiritual stones in his hand, and he wished that one spiritual stone could be used as two. The spiritual stones in the storage bag did not support such a dream.
He cleaned the clay pot, put everything in the storage bag, put away the five spiritual stones on the magic circle, opened the door and walked out.
Shen Long walked towards the top of the mountain. After a while, he came to the mountainside and stood at the door of a vast manor. The three characters "Yanwu Garden" were written on the plaque.
This is a place where cultivators practice spells. Monks who rent at Qianzhu Peak can practice spells here for free. This is one of the benefits for tenants.
In addition, you can also exchange your cultivation experiences with other immortal cultivators.
If you are not a tenant, you need to pay to practice magic in the Martial Arts Garden.
A light blue water curtain blocked the door, and Shen Long took out a cyan square token with the word "Qianzhu" engraved on the front.
He injected mana into the token, and a ray of green light flew out and disappeared into the blue water curtain. The blue water curtain caused ripples and disappeared.
Shen Long strode in and could hear a huge explosion and conversations.
He walked towards a side courtyard, and not long after, he appeared in a bluestone passage. There were many stone chambers on the left and right sides. The doors were closed, and there were immortal cultivators practicing their spells inside.
Shen Long was not in a hurry and stood at the door of a stone chamber. The word "earth" was written on the door. Different stone chambers have different terrains and are suitable for practicing different spells.
After a cup of tea, the door of a stone room opened, and an energetic old man in green robe and a boy in blue shirt with delicate features came out.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, what a coincidence!"
When Shen Long saw the old man in green robe, he smiled and said hello.
The old man in green robe is called Qin Qing. He and Shen Long belong to the same demon hunting team. The boy in blue shirt is his grandson Qin Tianhe.
Qin Qing's qualifications were not good. He was still at the sixth level of Qi Refining in his seventies. His son and daughter-in-law went out to hunt monsters and died, leaving behind his grandson Qin Tianhe.
The grandfather and grandson depended on each other for life. Qin Qing went out to hunt monsters and earn resources for cultivating immortals for Qin Tianhe to practice. Shen Long's life was miserable, and Qin Qing's grandfather and grandson lived even more misery.
To hunt monsters, you need to buy talismans or repair magic weapons, which all cost spiritual stones.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, what a coincidence! Hasn't Fellow Daoist Xu come out of seclusion yet?"
Qin Qing asked.
The Taoist Fellow Xu he calls is Xu Lei, who has the seventh level of Qi Refining and is the leader of the demon hunting team.
