After leaving the golden elixir monk's cave, Li Qiao turned around and stopped thinking about whether his family had a god-level monk.
The lifespan of a high-level monk is simply not comparable to that of a young monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage like him. If he does not advance to the Golden Elixir, it is very possible that by the time his lifespan is exhausted and he dies, the monk in the Transformation Stage will not do anything. .
For him, nothing is more important than advancing to Jindan.
The main family's sphere of influence is not much different from the size of the general cultivating family, and the appearance is not much different. The only difference is that some family buildings are not gathered together and are relatively scattered.
The first thing Li Qiao, who was flying in the air with his sword, was to build a cave for himself. Through the introduction in the jade slip, he learned that in addition to several caves reserved for Jindan monks, as well as several special caves, Outside the local area, family monks like him who have returned from abroad can choose a suitable location to build the cave.
Li Qiao didn't have any requirements for the cave. After flying around for a while, he selected a place. After confirming that there were no other monks' caves nearby, he dug a small stone chamber on the mountain wall and then carved a cave above the entrance. Small hole, put an empty low-grade spiritual stone into it.
This is a way to mark the cave. If this cave is abandoned one day, just take away the spirit stone. However, this is only a cave on the surface. As long as other monks from the family find that there is a cave here, they will be within a certain range. No new caves will be opened.
In fact, over thousands of years, there have been many vacant caves within the family, but Li Qiao must stay in the family for a long time, and it is not a temporary residence. He prefers to get a new one by himself.
The better the quality of the flying sword, the faster the cave is dug. It doesn't take much time to build a stone chamber. However, after making the stone chamber, Li Qiao stopped and placed a small defensive formation at the door. Just start practicing normally.
The cave can be built slowly, not in a rush, cultivation is the main thing.
After practicing, Li Qiao frowned slightly, and when the sky was just getting bright, he flew out of the cave and wandered around the clan area.
After repeated attempts, I found that the aura environment here is actually worse than normal. Although it is not very obvious, in the long run, it will inevitably affect the progress of cultivation. If it is an ordinary monk, it may not be noticed. After all, the cultivation status of monks is Some fluctuations are normal, and even if everything is the same, different mentality will have some impact.
However, Li Qiao practiced quickly and did not rely on acupuncture points. The spiritual energy he absorbed gathered in his meridians, and his feelings in this regard were much more sensitive than those of normal monks.
While flying in the sky, he used pupil skills to observe the surrounding environment. He found that except for some formation fluctuations in a few family buildings, some golden elixirs, and some monks' caves, nothing special was found.
Is it because there are too many monks in the family and the influence of these formations that the spiritual energy environment is different? How is this possible? Not to mention that most of the family are monks in the Qi training period. Even if they are all foundation-building monks, it is impossible to achieve such a stable effect. Li Qiao is a formation master. In his opinion, only large-scale formations can produce such consequences. .
But after flying a certain distance, plus the area we passed yesterday, the area we passed was not too small within the clan territory, but we didn't find anything.
If it is really a large-scale formation, the area it occupies is definitely not small. Seeing such a situation, I know that even if I wander around the entire family, it will be difficult to find anything. Moreover, I just came to the family yesterday, and today I am wandering around the entire family. Check it out, it would be bad if you were misunderstood.
After discovering such a result, I can only put my doubts aside for the time being, and the distance I flew before was not random. The general direction was the family exchange hall where I could exchange for immortal cultivation resources.
This kind of place where resources are stored must be covered by a large number of formations. However, when Li Qiao enters a certain range, the identity jade token on his body emits a burst of soft light, allowing him to enter without any hindrance.
Entering the main hall and walking past the entrance of the main hall where my own image is displayed, it feels more or less special.
For monks, there is no such thing as sooner or later, and the monks in the family exchange hall are constantly rotating. There is no such thing as a family.
There is a situation where the monks have not opened the door yet, but at this time, there are indeed very few family monks in the exchange hall who come to exchange. However, the monks who appear basically appear through the teleportation array in the hall, and they also pass through when leaving. Teleportation array.
Li Qiao was not surprised by this. The family's golden elixir told him yesterday that there were more than two thousand monks in the family. Although the other party did not go further, a little common sense would tell that it is impossible to put so many monks in the open, otherwise it would be too conspicuous. Maybe they are underground, maybe they are scattered in some nearby places. possible.
The entire family does not have many monks on the surface, and the family buildings only have a few halls with different functions. This is the way for a cultivating family to survive.
It can be passed down forever, not to mention the background, a little bit of family background, there will still be some degree of it, too much publicity is just a way to die, even Li Qiao suspected that the family here is only on the surface.
The Jindan monk told Li Qiao part of the situation because they were all monks of the same clan. Some things couldn't be hidden. It was better to tell them directly. Some things were only half told and it was best for each other to understand each other. Many things were not necessary. Gotta figure it out.
The image at the door was still somewhat effective. When Li Qiao came to the monk on duty, he smiled directly in return.
"What do you want to exchange for, brother?"
Both of them have foundation-building cultivation. It's hard to tell who is the clan brother. Generally, they can determine the strength of each other's spiritual consciousness by feeling it. However, when the formation in the exchange hall suppresses the spiritual consciousness, the other party preconceptionally thinks that Li Qiao is a foundation-building perfection cultivator.
"Can we use elixirs to assist in the foundation-building period?"
Hearing these words, the monk on duty knew that he had misunderstood, but he didn't pay much attention to it. When meeting monks of the same level in the exchange hall, it is often possible for anyone to call him a clan brother, and it doesn't matter if some of them are called fellow Taoists.
"Which one do you want? Fuji Pill, Huangling Pill, Linghua Pill..."
The other party's words made Li Qiao realize the difference between the side clan and the main clan. In the past, he only had two kinds of pills to assist in foundation building practice, but the other party mentioned six or seven kinds in one breath.
"What's the difference?"
"Fu Ji Dan..."
After hearing the other party's explanation, Li Qiao also understood that most of these elixirs were similar, with slightly different values due to some differences in practice effects. Among them, one elixir was a special case, and that was the Linghua Dan.
This spiritual elixir is not only the least effective, but also expensive, more than five times that of other elixirs.
Although he had a rough guess in his mind, Li Qiao still confirmed it: "Why is this spiritual pill so special? Isn't it unlimited?"
"Yes, for other elixirs, depending on the status of the jade card, the total number can't be exchanged for more than five in a month, and forty in a year. There is no limit on the number of spiritual pills."
If you want to quickly increase your cultivation speed, you need to exchange a large amount of spiritual pills with higher value. Li Qiao does not think that this is because the family deliberately slows down the cultivation speed of the family monks in order to collect resources. It can only be said that the foundation building within the main clan is There are too many monks and some elixirs are not enough, so this method is used.
If it was true that the family had always been like this, then he wouldn't be able to run away when he was in the side line.
"Here are five Huangling Pills!" Li Qiao finally made this choice.
In this regard, the monks on duty were not surprised. It was the norm for most families to build foundations and not redeem the magic pills.
"This is how to take elixirs..." It was said that there were five elixirs, but he took out more than ten elixirs of various colors. Some took two elixirs at once, some took three elixirs at once. For this kind of elixir passed down from generation to generation, Li Qiao was not surprised by the situation. Instead, he listened very carefully, because this thing was not static. Maybe next time it would be the same pills, but the combination would be different.
The reason why he didn't choose the Spirit Transformation Pill was not that Li Qiao couldn't afford to exchange it, but that the items in his current storage bag were relatively precious and he didn't want to exchange for these more basic things.
As time went by and his horizons improved, Li Qiao gradually developed his own way of understanding the world of immortality.
Is it difficult to become a Qi Practitioner? In fact, it’s not difficult at all. Spiritual energy is available everywhere, and the elixirs that assist qi-training monks are also easy to refine. Don’t look at some casual cultivators.
Fighting to the death for an ordinary spiritual grass, in fact, in some cultivating families, these spiritual grasses can be grown in large quantities.
To be very realistic, if some cultivating families or sects want to train monks in the Qi training stage, they can train thousands of them without investing many resources.
But why is there no force doing this? Because the strength of the Qi Practitioner monks is too low and of no use! Even to a certain extent, the same is true for foundation-building monks.
How many foundations a cultivating force will cultivate should be determined by how many Golden Core monks it can support.
For example, if more than a hundred qi-training monks, plus those who died unexpectedly in the process, can reach the golden elixir stage after being trained to the end, then cultivating more than 100 qi-training monks is equal to a potential golden elixir stage, and by analogy, training a Nascent Soul stage monks also need a certain number of Golden Core stage monks.
The experience in the turbulent place made Li Qiao realize that one must at least reach the Nascent Soul stage in order to be considered as the basic combat power in the world of immortality. However, Qi training, foundation building and even golden elixir could only be used in the current situation. There was a small fight on the margins that was not important, and they didn't even care too much about the number of casualties.
Li Qiao wasn't sure if his guess was correct, but low-level cultivation resources could be exchanged at will, and some precious things were based on sky-high prices of spiritual stones. It didn't mean that the two were not equal. After all, low-level monks used them. There are a lot of things, they can be found everywhere, and they can only be used by low-level monks.
Li Qiao will redeem the Linghua Dan, but he has to retrieve the hidden storage bag and exchange it for the resources of average value there. Now, instead of high-grade spiritual stones or magic weapons, the spiritual weapons in his storage bag are some golden elixirs. The elixir used.
It is easy to redeem these things, but it is difficult to exchange them back in the future, and there may even be no hope of redeeming them, such as high-grade spiritual stones. And the things that can be exchanged back will also lose a lot in the process of going back and forth.
If there is nothing else, he will bear the pain to exchange it for the sake of cultivation, and there are still many storage bags hidden outside. If he doesn't use it now, won't he not be able to use it later?
After leaving the Exchange Hall, Li Qiao returned to the cave. After expanding the cave on the outside for a while, he began to practice by taking pills.
Some formations need to be arranged around the cave, especially the spirit gathering formation, which can speed up the practice to some extent. This also made Li Qiao have to leave and retrieve some formation materials.
Even so, he was not in a hurry to leave. When he first came to the family, Li Qiao just wanted to blend in like a drop of water into the water. He didn't want to appear too high-profile or even attract attention. He didn't want to be in a hurry to practice.
After that, Li Qiao practiced normally while getting familiar with the situation in the family. For example, he also went to the formation hall in the family, but here it was a little different. If he could prove that he had the strength of the formation master, the inherited knowledge of the formation master would be It is open to them for free, but not all at once, but others will be opened after learning some.
In this regard, Li Qiao just briefly understood it and left, without revealing that he was now an array master.
Now his main focus is on advancing to the golden elixir. Before, he was focused on formations because he wanted to use formations to help him obtain cultivation resources. But now that he has a large amount of cultivation resources in hand, he can put the formations aside first.
If he succeeds in advancing to the golden elixir, he will continue to learn formations in the future. If he cannot advance to the golden elixir, being a formation master in the foundation-building period will be a relatively comfortable rest of his life.
"Back to normal again?" Li Qiao whispered this after quitting practice one day.
The aura environment that was originally in a bad state actually returned to normal last night, which is a bit incomprehensible.
After that, every time he practiced, he paid attention to the absorption of spiritual energy. Even when it was almost time to pick up the storage bag, he still delayed for some time, but it was not in vain. He really discovered some patterns.
The surrounding aura environment will briefly return to normal after being slightly low for a period of time, and then continue to fall continuously and very regularly. In Li Qiao's opinion, it is like breathing between heaven and earth.
Due to his limited knowledge, Li Qiao could not determine what the situation was.
Regarding this situation that he didn't understand, he just hoped that it was his own perception error, and he didn't think of asking the family's golden elixir monk, in case it was involved.
This would not be a good thing for him if it involves the family's big secret.
In the end, he could only suppress this doubt in his heart, and then go to the family's foreign affairs hall to tell him that he would leave for a while. The reason was to collect some cultivation resources. It was not necessary to leave for a short time, but Li Qiao felt that he had put the storage bag The location was a bit far away, and he planned to move it to be closer to him.
And it will take some time to do this.
