Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Walking out of the mountain gate, Zhao Lin walked to Yinfeng Valley and arrived at the old lair of bandit cultivators——Baiyan Mountain.

The Lingshi and Lingmi seized by the third bandit Xiusong last time were hidden in the cave on this mountain before they could be taken away.

Although to Zhao Lin, fifty catties of spiritual rice and more than 100 pieces of spiritual stones were nothing, but these were obtained from risky fighting and could not be discarded.

After walking outside, Zhao Lin deeply realized the importance of cultivation resources.

It's still the same sentence, talent is not good enough, medicine pills come together.

Where does the elixir come from?Only spirit stones and good deeds can be exchanged.

In particular, he has a spiritual map, which is a monster that devours spirit stones.

wow...

On the sparkling lake, Zhao Lin jumped out of the water like a big fish.

On the way back, he accidentally found a lake deep in the forest.

The water of the lake is as clear as a mirror, and you can see fish, aquatic plants and pebbles at the bottom of the water standing on the shore.

Zhao Lin thought that he hadn't practiced the water control technique yet, so he took out 64 spirit stones, absorbed the spiritual energy inside, and directly cultivated the water control technique to the proficient level.

Then he used his waterbending technique and jumped into the lake.

The water control technique is really extraordinary, the water-shaped circulation forms a closed big bubble, isolating Zhao Lin from the lake water.

After practicing for a while, you can swim freely in the water like a fish, sneaking like a shuttle, without feeling the slightest resistance.

What's even more powerful is that the water control technique consumes very little spiritual energy. Zhao Lin only consumed [-]% of his spiritual energy after swimming for a quarter of an hour.

If it was replaced by other spells, the spiritual power would have been used up long ago.

Back on the shore, I didn't get a drop of water on my body.

"It seems that this spell is chosen correctly! Next time you receive a mission, choose a mission related to water."

"This kind of task has a threshold, and the competition is relatively less intense."

Looking inside the spiritual training map, Zhao Lin's eyes flashed with satisfaction.

When I was excited, I took out the jade slips I carried with me and recorded the spells on them.

Rock Armor (Earth): Proficiency, maximum proficiency.

Ice Knife Technique (Ice Walk): Proficient, the upper limit is perfect.

Flame Flow Arrow (Fire Action), proficient, the upper limit is perfect.

Air Trap Technique (Fengxing): Mastery, upper limit of mastery.

Waterbending (water element): Mastery, upper limit of mastery.

Breathing technique (no attribute): proficient, the upper limit is great.

Sky Blindness (No Attribute): Not practiced yet, research to be determined.

……

"Shopkeeper, how much do you charge for the fifty catties of Lingmi?"

Zhao Lin came to the market in Qiuyang County, intending to dispose of the bandits' things and replace them with spirit coins that are more convenient to carry.

"Oh, fellow daoist, the color of your spiritual rice is different. It's a mix of several kinds of rice. It's hard to determine."

The owner of the Lingmi Shop grabbed a handful of rice and yelled in embarrassment.

"Make an offer?"

Zhao Lin disagreed, saying that he was the one who bought the goods, and the other party just wanted to lower the price by saying this.

"A catty of four-yuan spiritual coins for new rice, and three-yuan spiritual coins for a catty of old rice. Fellow Daoists' spiritual rice is roughly divided into new and old rice. Calculated at three yuan and five yuan, the total is 170 five spiritual coins."

The shop owner deals with rice grains all day long and quickly quotes the total price.

"make a deal!"

Zhao Lin readily agreed.

The price of lingmi in Hanchi County is five yuan lingcoins, and the store purchases can make about [-]% to [-]% of the profit, which is within an acceptable range.

He had to take the spirit boat to Shangyuan County in a while, and he didn't want to waste time for a few spirit coins.

Walking out of the Lingmi shop, Zhao Lin sold the two worn-out magic treasures, the lock bag, and a few unused talismans that were repaired by the bandits.

Only one Escape Talisman, one Pure Heart Talisman and a few bottles of elixirs were left.

The origin of Bandit Xiu's elixir is unknown, so it shouldn't be kept, but Zhao Lin has a keen sense of smell, and can judge the ingredients in it by taste, so there is no need to worry about eating it.

Medicine halls may not be willing to accept it, and even if they accept it, they won’t be able to sell it at a high price, so they simply take it themselves.

All the items were sold for more than 1000 spirit coins. Zhao Lin's net worth now exceeds 3000, which is equivalent to more than [-] spirit stones.

Mainly from the more than 800 spiritual stones obtained from completing the sect's mission, and the 500 yuan spiritual stone reward for capturing the bandit cultivator.

After dealing with the odds and ends at hand, Zhao Lin got on the spirit boat bound for Shangyuan County.

Shangyuan County is the transportation hub of Xiniuzhou. Only by arriving at Shangyuan County can you transfer to Sanshan County, where Li Yuanyou's family is located.

In fact, Zhao Lin has already reported Li Yuanyou's matter to Qiuyang County, and the sect will notify his family soon.

However, Zhao Lin decided to go there in person as he was entrusted by others and wanted to be loyal to his people.

As someone who has personally experienced it, informing Li Yuanyou's family of this good news, or rather bad news, can be considered a beginning and an end.

"Lingzhou left?"

The spirit boat from Shangyuan County to Sanshan County runs every two hours. When Zhao Lin arrived, the spirit boat had just left. He could only look at the sky and shake his head and sigh.

"Fellow Daoist going to Sanshan County? There is a seat on the spirit boat, it's fast and comfortable."

A middle-aged monk in a dark blue Taoist robe came over, said with a smile, and pointed behind him at the same time.

Behind him, there is a small flying boat less than two feet long.

When Zhao Lin came here, he had seen this kind of flying boat called a spirit boat. The price was much more expensive than the spirit boat.

"No need to wait, we'll leave right away."

Seeing that Zhao Lin did not refuse, the middle-aged monk immediately added another sentence.

"how much is it?"

"120 spirit coins."

"it is good."

The price of the spirit boat is more than double that of the spirit boat, but it can save two hours of time, and Zhao Lin also wanted to experience it, so he agreed.

There were already five monks sitting on the spirit boat, Zhao Lin paid the money to get on the boat and found an empty seat to sit down.

The middle-aged monk sat in the cockpit in front of the spirit boat, clapped his palms on the magic circle at the bow, and shouted, "Sit tight, let's sail!"

Driven by the wind's spiritual energy, the spirit boat rose lightly into the sky, quickly entered the clouds, and flew towards Sanshan County.

Although the spirit boat is small, its speed is faster, and its flight is more stable. The riding experience is much better than that of the spirit boat.

Zhao Lin nodded secretly, thinking that if using the means of transportation in his previous life as an analogy, the spirit boat is equivalent to a passenger car, and the spirit boat is equivalent to a car.

Arriving at the boundary of Sanshan County, an extremely wide river appeared on the ground.

The river is vast and flowing, and huge boats can be seen sailing on it from time to time.

When a spirit boat travels on the water, it consumes far fewer spiritual stones than flying in the air, and it carries a greater weight. Therefore, waterways are still the main way to transport bulk goods.

"What a majestic river!"

Zhao Lin couldn't help admiring.

"Of course, the Feituo River is the largest river in Xiniu Prefecture, and it can also be ranked among the top three in Cheng Huazong."

On the opposite side, a slightly fat monk who looked over forty years old said proudly.

"It turns out that this is the Feituo River, and it really lives up to its name!"

Zhao Lin looked at his words and guessed that this person was a local monk in Sanshan County, so he started talking with him along the Huatou.

"Hey, Sanshan County has outstanding people, and since ancient times there have been many Jindan Daoist."

The man heard that Zhao Lin came to visit his friends, and enthusiastically introduced the local specialties and the sights worth visiting.

By the time he got off the boat, Zhao Lin already had a general understanding of Sanshan County. "Fellow Taoist, how much did you pay for this spiritual boat?"

Before leaving, Zhao Lin asked Brother Caozhou.

If you have such a spiritual boat, traveling will be much more convenient. You can stop and go without being restricted by time or place.

"This number."

Brother Boatman held out a palm.

"fifty thousand?"

"It's still hanging on zero, 5."

Zhao Lin grinned silently, and immediately dismissed the idea of ​​buying.

More than 5000 pieces of spirit stones are not something I can afford, and the flight of the spirit boat also consumes spirit stones, which is another expense.

Let's talk about it later!

Leave Zhouyi and walk quickly towards Sanshan County...

Sanshan County is located in the southwest of Xiniu Prefecture. It is the second largest county in Xiniu Prefecture. It has a long history. It has been in existence for more than 1 years.

In the afternoon, Zhao Lin came to a mansion in Sanshan County.

"Li Mansion."

Looking at the two words on the plaque, Zhao Lin muttered softly, "This is it."

When he came to the county, Zhao Lin didn't rush to deliver the letter, but found someone nearby to inquire about the Li family's reputation, and came to the door after he found out the situation.

The Li family is indeed a cultivating family, well-known locally.

The formation of the Immortal Cultivation Family was accompanied by the development and growth of the sect.

There is no one in a thousand mortals with spiritual roots, but if a monk combines with a mortal, the chances of giving birth to offspring with spiritual roots will greatly increase.

Furthermore, if both parents are monks, the probability of their children having spiritual roots is at least [-]%.

Passed down from generation to generation, it is not surprising that a family similar to mortals has evolved.

However, according to the established rules, two conditions must be met to be called the Cultivation Clan.

First, the family has at least one middle-stage foundation-establishment monk.If there are only early foundation-establishment monks, or even no foundation-establishment monks, no matter how many people there are, they cannot be called a family.

Second, there are at least three generations of monks in the family, and the number exceeds ten.

According to the inquired information, the Li family has two foundation-building monks, five generations under the same roof, and over a hundred monks, barely entering the ranks of medium-sized families.

The head of the family, Li Chenglin, has three sons and two daughters. The eldest son Li Yuanyou and the second daughter Li Zhenyou are gifted in cultivation.

"Who is coming, and what are you doing?"

There were two mortal guards standing in front of the door, and one of them asked.

Most mortals are willing to live in a county with abundant aura, and the Xiuxian family also needs mortals to take care of daily life and take care of common affairs.

Therefore, the Immortal Cultivating Family used their good deeds to exchange with the sect for the qualifications of mortals to enter the county, thus creating a situation where immortals and mortals lived together.

"I have something important to ask Palace Master Li to help inform."

Zhao Lin said calmly.

At this moment, the door of the mansion opened, and an elderly monk came out.

"This old man is the steward of the house, fellow daoists looking for our Patriarch?"

The old monk looked at Zhao Lin and asked.

"Exactly."

Zhao Lin replied seriously.

The old man seemed to be over sixty years old, and his cultivation was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. Zhao Lin secretly guessed that this person should be a cultivator with mortal roots.

"How do you call me? Where do you come from? The Patriarch also has a saying when he asks."

"Zhao Lin, from Qiuyang County."

"Fellow Daoist, wait a moment, I will inform the Patriarch right away."

The old man cupped his hands, turned around and walked towards the mansion.

In the main hall, Li Chenglin, the head of the Li family, sat opposite a young man in white.

There are two cups of spiritual tea on the coffee table, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

"Uncle Li, you also know that I have a deep love for my real sister. But every time I mention the matter of becoming a Taoist couple to her, I always refuse without pretense."

The young man in white took a sip of tea and said bitterly.

"Nephew, the old man already knows what you want. It's just that Zhen'er is devoted to cultivating the Tao, and she doesn't want to marry and have children prematurely. The old man doesn't listen to her advice. It's my old wife who spoiled her!"

Li Chenglin shook his head with a troubled expression on his face.

"Uncle, this is a wish from my nephew, please accept it."

The young man in white presented an ancient sandalwood box and said respectfully.

"Oh?"

Li Chenglin took the wooden box, opened it, and saw a light green elixir in the box, exuding a strong smell of wood.

"Muyuan Pill, good! Taking Muyuan Pill can improve the ability to sense the aura of wood elements, and practicing wood element spells will get twice the result with half the effort."

Li Chenglin said yes, but his face was still indifferent.

The young man in white knew that he didn't impress the other party, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi, in fact, I still have a Zhengyang Pill in my home. If my real sister is willing to marry, I would like to use Zhengyang Pill for employment."

"Zhengyang Pill!"

Li Chenglin's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he rubbed his hands on the teacup.

Zhengyang Pill is one of the important pills in the middle stage of foundation establishment and the later stage. Li Chenglin has longed for it for a long time, and the conditions offered by the young man in white just tickled his itch.

Li Chenglin raised his hand, stroking his beard and said: "Nephew Tao Xian, in fact, I have always recognized your family background. Looking at Sanshan County, you are the only one among the juniors of the same age who is worthy of my daughter."

The young man in white had a happy face, "Then about the real girl..."

"Female college is going to marry, how can I let my temper go? When she comes back next month, the old man will tell her!"

"Thank you, uncle."

While the two were talking, the housekeeper walked in and saluted, "Patriarch, someone came to visit and said he had something important to do with you."

Li Chenglin's expression changed, and he asked, "What's your name, and where did you come from?"

"The surname is Zhao, and he is from Qiuyang County."

Hearing the words Qiuyang County, the young man in white frowned, but he quickly recovered.

"Qiuyang County? We have nothing to do with it."

Li Chenglin looked puzzled and asked, "What is the cultivation level of this person?"

The steward replied: "The third level of Qi refining."

Li Chenglin pondered for a while, and said: "Let him come in and wait in the front hall."

The mansion is generally divided into front and back halls, the front hall receives ordinary guests, and the main hall receives close or valuable guests.

Zhao Lin's cultivation is only the third level of Qi Refining, so he is naturally arranged in the front hall.

The young man in white rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Uncle Li, you are the majestic Patriarch, Senior Foundation Establishment, meeting a junior who doesn't know the details, will inevitably lose your status."

"Why don't I go with you, if I have anything to ask, I'll ask for you."

Li Chenglin frowned, thinking what does the Li family matter have to do with you?But just received the gift from the other party, and the interviewer was not an important person, so he nodded in agreement.

Zhao Lin waited in front of the mansion for a while, but the housekeeper quickly turned around and brought him to the front hall.

"The head of the family is receiving guests, please wait a moment, fellow daoist."

"The housekeeper is polite."

Zhao Lin leaned over and sat down, and a decent-looking maid immediately served him fragrant tea.

After a while, there was the sound of footsteps, and two monks walked into the hall. (end of this chapter)
