After being promoted to the fourth level of Qi training, Ziyunque's changes became stable.
The spiritual wind swirling around him gradually subsided.
After the transformation ended, Purple Skylark... remained the same as before, without enlarging in size or having any other abnormalities. It looked just like normal.
The only change is...
"Chirp!"
The Purple Skylark chirped happily, spread its wings, and shot up into the sky like lightning.
The flight speed is much faster.
And then...that was it.
The IQ has not increased, but the strength...maybe it has increased? Anyway, he didn't show any innate skills, he just flew a little faster.
Maybe it's because Purple Skylark is so bad that the effect of the wind rune ring is so obvious?
Xu Ke shook his head and did not go into details.
Walking out of the courtyard, Xu Ke released his green jade boat, took off into the air, flew across the Bishui Lake, and arrived at the Bishuitan Market Town.
After landing the flying boat outside the market town, Xu Ke walked into the Bishuitan Baibaozhai.
In Baibaozhai, Fangzhengzhuang Yuting was cutting fish and shells again.
Is the whitebait in Bishuitan really so delicious? Grab a few and try them when you have time.
"I've met Fangzheng!"
Xu Ke stepped forward and saluted Zhuang Yuting.
"What's the matter?"
Zhuang Yuting chewed the fish fillets and asked casually, vaguely.
"I would like to ask if we are allowed to dig a cellar or something near our residence in Bishuitan."
Of course Xu Ke couldn't say that he wanted to build a cave, he could only say that he wanted to dig a cellar.
"As long as you don't dig out the underground spiritual veins, I'll do whatever you want."
Zhuang Yuting looked up at Xu Ke and smiled, "Do you want to build a cave? Haha, there are many people who have this idea and have dug many holes. But, a cave? I can't even find the spiritual veins. Don’t think about the cave.”
That's someone else, not me.
Kanyu and Qi-watching techniques have broken through the limits, and Xuanmen magic has become instinctive. Can you do it?
Xu Ke smiled and bowed to Zhuang Yuting, "Thank you Fangzheng for your guidance. Disciple takes his leave..."
"Don't worry!"
Zhuang Yuting stopped Xu Ke and said, "Since you are here, I just have something to tell you."
"I wonder what Fang Zheng's orders are?"
Xu Ke asked quickly.
"It's still a matter of crossing the mountain beast tide."
Zhuang Yuting sighed, "The beast tide swept across the gravel plains, destroying the five major families. The sect sent people to exterminate the beast tide. It has been a month, but the beast tide has not subsided, but has become more and more intense."
"It hasn't subsided yet?"
Xu Ke's face was full of surprise. The sect sent forty or fifty foundation-building deacons, plus thousands of disciples in each hall who were in the advanced stage of Qi training. It took a month, but the beast tide still hasn't been wiped out?
"According to reports from the front, I don't know what happened in the Hengduan Mountains. Even the Golden Core Demon King has made strange movements."
Zhuang Yuting's face became serious, "During this period, you should finish the spiritual field planting as soon as possible, and don't wait for the beginning of spring. Get ready, I guess... all of us will have to go to the battlefield."
"yes!"
Xu Ke was silent for a while, then cupped his hands towards Zhuang Yuting, "Disciple understands."
"Get down!"
Zhuang Yuting waved his hand and planned to cut the fish again. As soon as he raised the knife, he raised his head and said to Xu Ke: "If you have money, buy more elixirs and charms."
"Disciple understands!"
Xu Ke stopped and bowed to Zhuang Yuting again, "Thank you Fangzheng for your guidance."
Zhuang Yuting waved his hand, did not answer, and buried himself in cutting the fish breasts.
After leaving Baibaozhai, Xu Ke left Bishuitan and rushed towards Haoyang City.
Sitting on the flying boat, Xu Ke tapped his fingers gently on the table and was thinking in his mind.
Is the beast tide in the Hengduan Mountains actually so big?
The first sign is that when the bell millet is ripe, there will be a plague of birds.
Then the casual cultivators went to Hengduan Mountain to hunt, then Gao Zhengzheng lost money purchasing animal materials, and then the five major families in the Gravel Plain recruited monks to eliminate the beasts.
Next, the five major families were destroyed, the Gravel Plain fell, and the sect ordered the foundation-building deacons of each temple to lead their disciples to exterminate the beast tide.
So far...the sect's operation to exterminate the beast tide has failed? Is it difficult to resist the beast tide?
Zhuang Yuting just said that the Golden Elixir Demon King in the Hengduan Mountains has changed. Maybe there are Golden Elixir Demon Kings appearing in the gravel fields.
Jindan Demon King, what a terrifying existence this is!
As long as any Jindan Demon King enters Haoyang City, Haoyang City will be destroyed in an instant, and the entire mountain will be broken into pieces.
The strongest combat power of Haoyang Immortal Sect is only Jindan Perfection.
Xu Ke still doesn't know how many Jindan masters there are in the sect.
If all the Golden Core Demon Kings in the Hengduan Mountains escape, can the sect be able to resist it?
I have to plan ahead.
Once the sect is defeated, it must be able to escape in time.
In addition to preparing spiritual stones, elixirs, charms, and other materials such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation, you also need to plan an escape route.
I don’t even know what places are outside, so at least I need to get a map.
Gao Zhengzheng can definitely get these things.
Xu Ke took inventory of the storage bag and took out all the exercises given by Gao Zhengzheng.
I have already explained these techniques, but they are of no use anymore, so I might as well sell them all for money.
That's all for practicing Qigong. Although the two foundation-building techniques are very superficial in Xu Ke's opinion, they are very valuable when sold. They can be sold for at least 10,000 to 20,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
After all, a foundation-building technique can create a cultivating family!
In addition to purchasing some elixirs and daily necessities with the money from selling the skills, the spiritual stones themselves are also an important resource.
The jade boat needs to burn spiritual stones, so it must reserve enough fuel.
I don’t know how far I have to run yet, so I’ll try to reserve as many spirit stones as possible.
Just as he was thinking about it, Feizhou had arrived at Haoyang Chengfang City.
Xu Ke disembarked from the flying boat and went to the teahouse where he had discussed business with Gao Zhengzheng. He called for a private room and then released the paper crane flying talisman to contact Gao Zhengzheng.
Soon after, Gao Zhengzheng came to the teahouse to meet Xu Ke.
"Junior Brother Xu, are you looking for me?"
Gao Zhengzheng walked into the private room, said hello to Xu Ke, and sat directly opposite Xu Ke.
"Senior Brother Gao, I have something to trouble you with."
Xu Ke took out more than a dozen volumes of jade slips of martial arts from his storage bag, "Senior Brother Gao, please help me sell these jade slips of martial arts. For the spiritual stones I got, please buy me a map. Haoyang Immortal For the map around Zong, the wider the area, the better.”
"This is easy."
Gao Zheng directly passed the jade slip of the martial art that Xu Ke took out, "The martial arts will be sold soon. As for the map, I will just buy a business map from the Four Seas Merchant Alliance."
Putting away his skills, Gao Zhengzheng raised his eyes to look at Xu Ke and smiled, "Junior Brother Xu, buy a map..."
"It is said that the Golden Core Demon King in the Hengduan Mountains has made strange movements."
Xu Ke did not speak directly, but communicated face to face, telling Gao Zhengzheng through "messaging technology": "I am just making preparations in advance, so I am prepared! It is probably all in vain."
"I see!"
Gao Zhengzheng nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder the market conditions these days have become a bit inexplicable."
"Senior Brother Gao, in addition to the merchant map, I also want you to help me purchase a thousand spirit stones of elixirs and buy them all back to Qi Dan."
With Xu Ke's strength, as long as he has enough Qi Recovery Pills and maintains a long battery life, his combat effectiveness is guaranteed.
"In addition, five thousand talisman papers and ten sets of spiritual ink. Among the five thousand talisman papers, there are three thousand white talisman papers and two thousand yellow talisman papers."
Talismans are also the key to ensuring the endurance of combat power, and they must be adequately prepared.
As for purchasing yellow talisman paper, white talisman paper is only low-level talisman paper. If you want to draw talismans in the later stages of Qi training, or even perfect Qi training, white talisman paper is not enough.
"Okay, no problem. It will be done for you within three days!"
Gao Zhengzheng put away the jade slips of the exercises, said goodbye to Xu Ke, and left in a hurry.
For Gao Zhengzheng, any change in market conditions is an opportunity to make money, and of course he cannot let it go.
After Gao Zhengzheng left, Xu Ke also left the teahouse.
When he arrived at the Sinong Hall, Xu Ke bought the seeds of Huangya rice and Chixia flowers from the store, as well as the fertilizers needed to grow Huangya rice, Chixia flowers and Jasper fruits, before returning to Bishuitan.
The plan has been made. Before things come to the worst, of course, it will be business as usual and we will farm when we need to.
Back at Bishuitan, Xu Ke called the Mountain Monkey over and asked him to continue loosening the soil and plowing the ground.
While the mountain ape was plowing the ground, Xu Ke sprinkled the fertilizer for planting yellow bud rice, which is some mineral powder rich in spiritual energy, into the soil using the exorcism technique to complete the fertilization.
Xu Ke observed these "fertilizers" and found that in addition to some unknown minerals, some of them were actually powder ground from spiritual stones.
Sure enough, the spiritual energy required for the growth of the crops in the middle-grade Lingtian is far beyond the Qianzhong millet crops.
Take the spiritual field in front of you as an example. Under Xu Ke's "Kanyu Technique" and "Qi Watching Technique", you can clearly see the subtle spiritual veins flowing in the spiritual field, exuding rich spiritual energy.
These tiny spiritual veins are actually distributed so evenly and neatly?
This is definitely not natural, but man-made.
Following the flow of subtle spiritual veins, Xu Ke carefully traced the root cause and saw the reason: there was also a magic circle arranged under this spiritual field to gather spiritual energy.
I see.
To open up a spiritual field, you don't just dig a piece of land randomly. Instead, you have to choose a suitable place where the earth's spiritual energy gathers, arrange a magic circle, and sort out the spiritual veins to open up a spiritual field.
Very good, this magic circle that gathers spiritual energy should be the "Spirit Gathering Array", right?
It's mine!
Xu Ke stood on the ridge of the field, staring intently at the spiritual field, carefully sorting out the flow of spiritual energy in the spiritual field, and using the "Dayan Divine Calculation" to calculate all the spiritual energy running data...
One Dharma can pass, all Dharmas can pass.
Analyzing Yuan Fu Sect's Qi Training Period Talisman, mastering the functions of all basic rune structures, and clearly understanding the rules of spiritual power operation was of great help to Xu Ke's various aspects of practice.
At this moment, by observing the spiritual energy movement trajectory of the "Spirit Gathering Array", calculating the spiritual energy movement data, and referring to the basic rune structure, Xu Ke was able to completely interpret the principles of the Spirit Gathering Array.
After interpreting the principles of the formation, Xu Ke can still lay out the Spirit Gathering Array even if he doesn't know how to deploy it.
The formation technique is just to use some materials to build a circuit for the spiritual power to run. As long as the material has spiritual power conductivity, it can be used.
If you really can't find the materials, you can just use spirit stones to set up the formation.
There are two ways to set up formations in the practice world. One is a fixed long-term formation, such as the sect's mountain-protecting formation, the cave formation, and the formation at a certain station.
There is another way to set up a formation, which is a temporary formation.
This kind of temporary formation often occurs during encounters. The formation master has no time to set up the formation in advance, so he uses the formation flag disk he carries with him to temporarily set up the formation.
Therefore, every formation master has several sets of formation flag formation disks that have been refined long ago.
These formation flags and formation disks are the spiritual energy circulation routes required for the operation of the formation, which have been refined in the formation flags and formation disks in advance.
At this moment, Xu Ke already had a deep understanding of the layout of the battle.
Just planting a field, there is unexpected harvest.
Xu Ke smiled, retracted his mind, and focused on the farming itself.
At this moment, the monkey has finished plowing fifty acres of spiritual land.
Xu Ke took out the yellow bud rice seeds from the storage bag, sprinkled them out with the expulsion technique, and evenly spread them over the fifty acres of spiritual fields.
Then... the hair-stimulating technique!
The wood-attribute spiritual power containing vitality swept out like ripples and swept across the fifty acres of spiritual fields.
After the light dissipated, green seedlings quickly appeared in the spiritual field.
Planting of yellow bud rice is completed.
Immediately, Xu Ke took the monkeys to the back mountain, fertilized and plowed the Chixia flower field, and planted Chixia flowers.
In the Chixia Flower Field, Xu Ke also saw the Spirit Gathering Formation.
However, the Chixia flower is a fire-attribute elixir, and the aura gathered in the flower field is biased towards the fire-attribute aura.
After planting red rosy flowers, there are tea gardens and orchards.
Neither the tea trees nor the fruit trees need to be replanted, they just need some care.
Xu Ke added some fertilizer to the tea trees and jasper fruit trees, then released the "Flying Sword" to prune the fruit trees' branches, and he was done.
Farming is pretty easy!
Monkey: Of course it’s easy for you, I did all the hard work!
Xu Ke put the mountain monkey in the back mountain and asked him to take care of the flower fields, tea gardens and orchards, while he returned home.
Since Fangzhengzhuang Yuting mentioned the "Monster King of Hengduan Mountain", I'm afraid a demon king has already appeared in the gravel field.
The sect will definitely expand the recruitment scope and call more disciples to go to the gravel plain to resist the beast tide.
It is inconvenient to mobilize the disciples in various workshops, which will affect the production of the workshop. Those of us who farm are very suitable for calling.
It seems that the life of staying at home and practicing quietly is about to be broken.
Xu Ke dove into the practice room, spread out the talisman paper, picked up the talisman pen, and began to draw the talisman.
The charms you use for yourself are not those for sale.
The essence of a talisman is to store a spell on talisman paper. The power of the spell depends on the power of the spell.
This time Xu Ke drew the spell for his own use. Of course, he used it as powerful as he could.
Gathering spiritual power and condensing it on the end of the pen, Xu Ke put the pen down on the paper and drew a palm thunder talisman on the white talisman paper.
There was a "pop" sound, and a puff of black smoke rose up.
The white talisman paper exploded into ashes, and the talisman making failed!
This is the first time Xu Ke has failed to make a spell since he drew it.
There is no other reason than that the white talisman paper cannot carry the power of extraordinary spells.
Well, then we can only reduce the power. The full power of the talisman can only be obtained after buying the yellow talisman paper with high integrity.
So... it's very distressing to be too strong, even the talisman paper consumption is higher than others.
(I recommend a few good books, "My Life Simulator" and "System Supplier". You can read them if you are short of books. The authors are all...me!)
