"I lived in vain for a year without using the spirit stone. I've made a lot of money!"
Zhou Yi tried his best to comfort himself so as not to give birth to inner demons.
According to the thinking of ordinary monks, the next step is to plant more land. If three acres are dry, then plant ten or thirty acres, and spiritual stones will naturally appear.
In fact, this is not the case. To perform the Spiritual Rain technique on the third level of Qi refining, you have to meditate to regain your Qi three times.
It takes half a day to irrigate three acres of land, and Lingtian is irrigated once in the morning and evening to ensure the yield of Lingmi.
"So, the price of the cave has been calculated by Xiaodanshan. Those monks who don't work hard can only live in hunger."
"Monks can meditate instead of sleeping, and can achieve zero, three, six, and five. In theory, they can plant three more acres."
Zhou Yi's neighbors are like this. They work in the dark day and night to cast spells and farm. They are both at the third level of Qi Refining and can earn thirty or fifty spiritual stones every year.
"With the cave as a carrot hanging in the air, the monks must improve their cultivation and spiritual rain skills, and then plant more spiritual fields for Xiaodan Mountain. Coupled with the sect's rules, the monks have little time to go there. Ordinary and unrestrained, the dual constraints of economy and family rules!"
"There are experts in the Alchemy Sect!"
"To put it simply, if you don't farm, how can the disciples of the Alchemy Sect become immortals?"
Zhou Yi calculated the accounts clearly, and there were only two ways in front of him.
One is to plant three acres. If you have extra time to improve your cultivation, your farming efficiency will also increase accordingly. This is a long-term plan.
The second is to be versatile and productive. The saved spiritual stones can be used to buy exercises, magic weapons, elixirs, etc., which can comprehensively improve your strength in a short period of time.
"Struggle is not in line with the original intention, so let's put aside the second way for now."
Zhou Yi thought of the method of talisman and seal script: "In fact, the easiest way to earn spiritual stones is to practice the four arts of alchemy, talismans, and talismans. It is an industry with high threshold and core technology."
This year, Zhou Yi often went to the trading area to inquire about the four arts.
The so-called alchemy weapon has been exhausted for three generations, and the formation technique can ruin a life. The only technique suitable for casual cultivation is the art of talisman and seal script.
The materials for making talismans are cheap, but the only drawback is the inheritance!
"It's a pity that shadow talismans, divine walking talismans and the like cannot be sold at all. Most monks can draw them. The original talisman and seal inheritance of King Huang Tian is more valuable than imagined. If I had known earlier, I should have tried to find it."
Zhou Yi felt a little regretful but did not have any regrets.
Looking back at this time, the Jiangnan family supported Huang Tianwang back then, probably because they were plotting to inherit the talisman and seal script.
The world of spiritual practice and the secular world seem to be separated, but in fact they are implicitly connected in many general trends.
"As long as I'm poor enough, no one will plot against me!"
"Let's just lie down for a few years and become a familiar face in the market. If we can't earn spiritual stones anymore, we can plant a few acres of spiritual fields."
…
the second year.
Passed by suddenly.
Zhou Yi harvested three more bushels, and the yield per mu was only one bushel less than the average.
Carefully comprehending Senior Brother Liu's techniques and skills, his proficiency in Lingyu Technique improved rapidly, and he was able to increase production so quickly.
“As a human being, you must know how to be grateful!”
Zhou Yi sold the remaining spiritual rice and spent thirteen to set up a banquet in Fengming Tower.
All kinds of delicious dishes are fragrant.
There are monks who are proficient in cooking in Xingxian Street. After countless years of development, they have gradually formed spiritual cooking skills, which are a branch of alchemy, similar to wine making and fragrance mixing.
The spiritual chef uses the flesh and blood of monsters and beasts as the main ingredients, mixes the elixirs according to a unique secret recipe, and cooks them with spiritual fire to become spiritual dishes.
It tastes great and increases mana.
Senior Brother Liu came as invited and looked at the table full of food: "You are really generous."
"I have to thank my senior brother for his guidance, otherwise I would not say I have any leftover, but I would be in debt. So this is my senior brother treating me to a drink."
Zhou Yi said with a smile: "We also booked a private room for senior brother. We will stay in the Huakai Pavilion upstairs. After eating and drinking, we can enjoy the jade and play the flute."
The food on this table alone is not expensive, and a pot of spiritual wine only costs three spiritual stones.
Lingshi is a continuously consuming resource, and it is close to omnipotent in the world of immortality. It can be used to improve your cultivation level or practice the four arts, and its purchasing power has always been strong.
The other ten spirit stones belong to the special consumption of Fengming Tower.
The general idea is to wash and cut thirty-eight, wash and cut and blow three-eight-eight.
"Junior Brother Zhu, be particular!"
Senior Brother Liu became much more enthusiastic when he heard this, and he and Zhou Yi began to call each other brothers and sisters.
Reciprocity is a courtesy, and a network of interpersonal relationships is built.
"Junior brother, I am telling you that you will never earn spiritual stones by farming alone."
Senior Brother Liu whispered: "Even if you work hard day and night, there are only three melons and two dates left. If you spend a few years to buy a magic weapon, when will it be enough?"
"Senior brother is right, but it's a pity that I don't know anything."
Zhou Yi understood from the first day of farming that this kind of industry with no technical threshold would make the price of spiritual rice infinitely close to the production cost. It would only consume physical strength and time to earn hard-earned money. Wanting to get rich was just a daydream.
"You have to learn to mix in circles!"
Senior Brother Liu said proudly: "It's because we have a good relationship with Senior Brother Xiang that we got the job in the office. Not to mention the prestige and dignity, we earn more spiritual stones than farming."
“Be taught and be taught.”
Zhou Yi looked like he suddenly understood. He naturally understood this method, but he would not do it like this.
Being in a circle is equivalent to standing in line and dividing the mountain. While taking advantage of it, it will naturally offend some people, which is inconsistent with Zhou Yi's original intention of walking on thin ice.
Moreover, the circle is empty after all, and Zhou Yi is more inclined to gain status through strength.
If you don’t break the rules and climb high, there will naturally be no cause and effect!
There is really no way to earn spiritual stones. Zhou Yi is too lazy to work hard to get involved in the circle. Instead, he will just cultivate fields for a thousand years, and he can even afford the top-notch caves!
After all, I still have something to hold on to and can deal with things calmly.
Zhou Yi asked: "Brother, I wonder if there is a bookstore here where I can buy some historical books on the practice world?"
"Historical books?"
Senior Brother Liu wondered: "What's the use of reading this? It's better to save up spiritual stones and buy an elixir to try."
Zhou Yi smiled and said: "We come from a small place, and we are not as good as Senior Brother Liu, who has been exposed to the world of spiritual practice since he was a child. He plans to read classics to broaden his horizons."
"It's hard to say anything else. Senior brother really knows about this."
Senior Brother Liu chuckled and said: "There is a Jingxuzhai in the southeast corner. If you tell me your name and bring a pot of spirit wine with you, you can borrow a lot of classics. Of course, they are just ordinary items. You can't borrow unique and secret books." "
"Thanks for the advice, senior brother!"
Zhou Yi Xie's sincerity and this advice are worth ten spiritual stones.
…
The third year.
Three more buckets were collected.
Zhou Yi hosted a banquet for Senior Brother Liu at Fengming Tower. After being introduced, he got to know several Taoist friends, and they almost nodded and said hello to each other.
at the same time.
By borrowing books, the vast world of immortality was slightly unveiled to Zhou Yi.
The countries under the jurisdiction of the Danding Sect are not only Fengyang Kingdom, but more than twenty countries in the entire Yunzhou. Xiaodan Mountain is located in the far east of Yunzhou and is quite famous for its rich purple spirit copper.
To the north of Yunzhou is Jizhou, which is rumored to be ruled by demons.
To the west is Qiongzhou, and to the south is Shiwandashan. Because of the vast mountains at the junction, few low-level monks can know its information.
"The realm of cultivating immortals is far greater than ordinary people realize. The monks in the Qi Refining Realm are on the road without sleep, and they will not even be able to reach Yunzhou in their entire lives."
"On top of Qi refining, there are also foundation building, pill formation, and Nascent Soul. The road to immortality is long and difficult, and I'm just a newbie!"
