Once upon a time, Lin Bei's cultivation was on par with Chu Liang's, or even slightly better.
Later, with the help of some adventures, he chased him for a while, but in the end he was left far away by Chu Liang. After all, practicing by chance will not last long.
But Chu Liang relied on long-term opportunities...
This time Lin Bei came here, he was finally going to be promoted to the fourth level of Jindan.
According to the process, he needs to refine the outer elixir first, and what he plans to cultivate is also the top-grade Shenxiao Shaoyang Golden elixir. With his face, it is clear that he has a very yang-like face, so it is not surprising that he cultivates this.
Like Chu Liang at that time, he also needed a Yang genus of heaven and earth.
"I found a piece of information in the Treasure Medicine Hall and I need someone to go with me." Lin Beidao.
When Chu Liang was refining the elixir, he helped a lot. Now that he was refining the elixir, Chu Liang should have helped him.
but……
Chu Liang still asked his doubts: "Why don't you buy it?"
"Buy?" Lin Bei was startled.
The two people looked at each other and saw a strong generation gap in each other's eyes.
It's not just Lin Bei. In the consciousness of a normal practitioner, buying them will not be the first choice if they can get clues about cultivation resources.
First of all, the biggest reason is that we can’t afford it.
The heavenly materials and earthly treasures that are circulated on the market are all released for sale by some practitioners who have obtained them by chance and really have no use for them. It's a serious seller's market, and the price depends on what the seller wants.
Each portion is ridiculously expensive.
For example, Marquis Dingshan in Nanguan City relied entirely on buying resources to support himself to the sixth realm. He had to have an entire Marquis mansion plus some shady businesses to barely be able to afford it.
A normal practitioner in the fourth or fifth realm cannot have that much wealth.
So I can only take the risk and look for it myself. If I can't find it, I have to wait.
Secondly, the process of finding resources itself is also an experience.
For example, for the core disciples of some large-scale immortal sects, it is not impossible for the sect to provide them all the way, but the sect will not do this. The purpose is to allow disciples to hone themselves in the process of searching for heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
For practitioners, there are many things other than cultivation that they have to master.
but.
For Chu Liang, the time he saves can be used to do more meaningful things and better improve his own cultivation, such as brushing lantern monsters, brushing black fur balls, brushing wine jar monsters... This kind of experience is very important to him. It's not that important to say.
As for the price…
Is a problem that can be solved with money still called a problem?
When Chu Liang passed by Taotie City, he also bought a top-quality sapphire bodhi branch.
Although he himself has not yet reached the fifth realm, the Five Elements Puppet has stabilized the first level of the secret that was opened by the Mahakala Golden Bone, and the Colorful Doll can open the second level of the secret at any time. He happened to see a piece of wood-type heavenly materials and earthly treasures being sold. Chu Liang bought it without hesitation and came back to feed it to the Five Elements Puppet.
When the Five Elements Puppet opens the second secret treasure, the colorful doll will light up with two kinds of brilliance, white and blue, and can also infuse Chu Liang with two kinds of Qi, namely Gengjin and Jiamu.
I spent an auspicious number, eight thousand eighty-eight Zhuque coins.
This kind of rare spiritual plant can be purchased for two thousand or ten thousand. Just buy it when you see it.
The final bonus from Shushan's issuance of a large number of sword coins was the purchase of the Demon Subduing Pestle. After that, the value of Shushan Sword Coins began to plummet. Now Sword Coins can no longer be exchanged for Suzaku Coins, and can only be exchanged for eight Xuanwu Coins.
In other words, this jade bodhi branch costs more than ten thousand sword coins in Shushan.
But when Chu Liang paid, he was as casual as buying a big cabbage, which made all the stewards and waiters in the store extremely respectful and a little bit unbelievable.
Just like Lin Bei's eyes now.
After a long time, Lin Bei shook his head and said, "You have changed. When we first met, you had to take mine even to take out a sword coin as a token."
"Then the money saved is just for this time." Chu Liang said with a smile.
"No wonder we have to work hard all day long..." Lin Beidao said.
"Although it is hard when you work, you are very happy when you divide the money." Chu Liang replied.
"That's true." Lin Bei smiled happily.
He is the second-in-command in Chu Liang's team. He not only works part-time, but also gets a certain profit share, so he is definitely not bad now.
But if you want to rely solely on money to buy rare materials and treasures, it will definitely take a lot of effort.
Chu Liang thought for a while and then said: "Since we already have clues, I will accompany you for a trip, and save what you can. However, I have to attend the celebration of the Sihai Whale Gang in three days, and I have to get back before then. "
He just wanted to go out for some practice and test the quality of his Jiamu Zhenqi.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely come back." Lin Bei said with a smile.
After a pause, he continued: "It turned out that I was going to attend the Whale Gang celebration. I asked why the senior brother was in such a hurry to retreat, and also said that he would break through the second level of the Five Elements Realm within three days."
Senior Brother Xu is about to break through again?
When Chu Liang heard this news, he must be happy for him. Anyway, there is no competition between the two sides now. All that has improved is the strength of the Shushan Sect.
The second level of the Five Elements Realm.
What a coincidence.
My colorful dolls have just reached this breakthrough.
…
The islands in the South China Sea are covered with blue waves.
Legend has it that the ancient dragon nest collapsed and the dragon clan moved to the Dragon Abyss. Fulong's Abyss is an undersea abyss, deep and vast. Because dragons generally like water, Fulong's Abyss is a good nest.
But not all dragons are like this.
There was a fire dragon among them who couldn't bear to live in the Dragon Abyss and chose to migrate as a dragon.
This is understandable.
However, the Dragon Clan's mythical beasts that frequently cause the earth to shake, especially the fire dragons that cause scorched earth wherever they pass, are not allowed to inhabit the Kyushu Continent.
The fire dragon came to the South China Sea, where the blue waves are thousands of miles away. The islands on the South China Sea are continuous, and there are many vast islands that are as big as a country.
It finally found its home here, and has thrived for many years, not only creating countless fire dragon descendants, but even giving birth to several pure-blooded true dragons.
From this, the South China Sea Fire Dragon Clan was derived.
The fire dragon among the pure-blooded true dragons is a very special existence. Its body fluids are shed in the form of flowing inflammation. In the place where the fire dragon lingers in the South China Sea, a kind of spiritual plant that is soaked and watered by the flowing inflammation will grow over time. .
This kind of spiritual plant fruit that grows in the habitat of the fire dragon, contains the spirituality of the fire dragon, and is similar in shape to the fire dragon, is called...
Liuyanguo.
The yang element of heaven and earth treasure in Lin Bei's picture is exactly a Liuyan fruit on an island in the South China Sea.
Shushan is located in the southwest, not far from the South China Sea. The two of them flew for half a day and arrived over the South China Sea. Lin Bei looked at the map in his hand again and found a direction. After flying for more than half an hour, he finally saw the island depicted in the picture.
This is a large volcanic island. In the center of the island is a lake-like crater, which is silent and dark at the moment. But if you get closer, you can still feel the dangerous atmosphere.
In the eyes of Shushan disciples, it is like a hot pot with base ingredients but no soup.
"The growth period of the Flowing Flame Fruit means that it is not the active period of the South Sea Fire Dragon. The real owner is probably not here, and even if he is, he should be dormant at the bottom of the volcano. As long as we don't make too much noise, we shouldn't disturb it."
Lin Bei muttered as he landed, while tiptoeing closer to the target.
Just now, the two of them had used their spiritual consciousness to locate the Flowing Flame Fruit in the sky, which was on a tall fire-burning tree at the foot of the volcano.
A tree in flames, without leaves or flowers, as if the flames above were its flowers. And in one of the flames, there was indeed a shimmering golden fruit, the size of a fist, filled with spiritual energy.
There is a lawn around the fire tree, and every piece of grass is a clump of leaping flames.
The two fell outside this lawn.
"There are a lot of living things on this island, so it's definitely no problem to move around normally. Why are you so scared?" Chu Liang couldn't help but laugh as he looked at his dog's furtive appearance.
"Even if you know it won't wake up, you will still be scared if you are so close to such a dangerous thing that can turn people into ashes with just one breath." Lin Bei said in a low voice.
"I'm used to it..." Chu Liang said thoughtfully.
Lin Bei didn't dare to answer the call.
"To pick the Flowing Flame Fruit, you must first use the air of frost to extinguish the flames on it. Do not use water, as the Flowing Flame Fruit will melt when exposed to water. Do not touch it directly with your hands. You must cut off the branches and use an ice jade box to connect them." Lin Bei He recited the picking process that he knew by heart.
"Be careful to protect the monsters." Chu Liang reminded.
"It's so bare here, where did the monster come from?" Lin Bei smiled and was about to start picking.
Chu Liang looked around and found that it was true.
So he formed a sword with his fingers and drew a talisman in the air. In an instant, more than a dozen ice runes were shot out, and a piece of frost spiritual energy swept away, extinguishing the flames on the flaming lawn and the flaming tree.
In the blink of an eye, there was a light layer of frost.
"Hurry and pick before the frost melts." Lin Bei muttered to himself, flew to the tree and took out a box made of ice jade.
This small box alone is expensive to make.
The Liuyan fruit frozen by the frost is like a soft-boiled egg with a thin outer skin, but it seems to be still flowing inside. Without the outer flame wrapping, the Flowing Flame Fruit turns out to be liquid?
Surprised, he didn't have time to think too much, but he gently divided his fingers into scissors and cut off the branches of Liuyanguo.
Snapped.
The fist-sized Flowing Flame Fruit fell into the ice jade box, and Lin Bei looked happy. Just as he was about to put away the box and return, he suddenly felt that the world went dark.
"Be careful!" Chu Liang exclaimed from behind.
I heard a loud cry from above my head: "Ouch——"
