Chapter 184 177 Mixed Rock Shield (3800 words, please subscribe)
Three months later.

Halfway up Lingxiao Mountain, there is a quiet courtyard.

Ling Pengyun felt that he had not been able to get help from the Spirit Gathering Pill in the past three days, so he had to take the spiritual fruits obtained from cultivation. He murmured to himself with a hint of helplessness on his face.

"After all, the first-order medium and high-grade spiritual fruits are only first-order spiritual objects, and their spiritual energy is far inferior to the second-order low-grade spirit-gathering pill. What you get from taking the spirit fruit for three days is not as good as what you can get from one day with the help of the spirit-gathering pill. It's really A little slower.”

"The spirit gathering array in my hand is only a first-level low-grade one. The spiritual energy gathered by turning on this array is not as much as the spiritual energy gained by taking the spirit fruit."

"You will still have to invest your own money in the future to purchase a batch of Spirit Gathering Pills."

Ling Pengyun, who had been in seclusion for six months since entering the foundation building, had consumed all the six spirit-gathering pills given by Ling Yunhong three days ago.

Without the second-level spirit-gathering pill, he could only practice using the first-level medium and high-level spiritual fruits left over from his Qi training period.

As for setting up the low-grade first-level spirit-gathering array he purchased from his clan sister Ling Penglin in the early years, it was the most inferior choice and he would not use it easily.

Directly absorbing spiritual energy to practice is not part of Ling Pengyun's practice plan. After all, this method is too slow.

Considering that there was no Spirit Gathering Pill again, and the speed of taking the spirit fruit to practice was a little slower, he planned to temporarily put down his practice, and then patted the storage bag on his waist and took out a small palm-sized khaki shield from it. .

As soon as the shield was taken out, he mobilized his spiritual consciousness, poured it into the magic shield, and placed the divine consciousness brand in it.

This small yellow shield is called the mixed rock shield, and its grade is as high as the second-level low-grade.

Six months ago, at the beginning of this year, Ling Yunhong purchased it from Xiyang Xiaohui and gave it to Ling Pengyun.

Because the Spirit Gathering Pill had reappeared some time ago, and his cultivation was not yet stable, he had to postpone the sacrifice of this magical shield for the time being.

Now that he no longer has the Spirit Gathering Pill, he will naturally step back to sacrifice and refine the shield.

This mixed rock shield is a brand new magic weapon, and it has not been imprinted with spiritual consciousness by others.

Within three days, Ling Pengyun successfully sacrificed the shield.

Once the sacrifice was successful, Ling Pengyun injected a spiritual power into the magic shield and started playing with it.

With the injection of spiritual power, the palm-sized mixed rock shield flashed with yellow light and suddenly grew in size.

But in an instant, the shield grew to two feet long and wide.

Following this, the shield also held up an earthy yellow light curtain, protecting Ling Pengyun.

In order to test the defensive power of this magic shield light curtain, Ling Pengyun waved his hand and took out the twelve first-level high-grade Qingling swords used during the Qi training period from the storage bag, and kneaded the twelve flying swords to form the Earthly Evil Sword Formation.

As soon as the sword formation was completed, he controlled it and bombarded it on the defensive light curtain of the magic shield.

"boom!"

The twelve flying swords forming a sword formation struck the light curtain with a roar, but the Earth Evil Sword Formation only slightly shook the magic shield light curtain, causing a small ripple on the light curtain.

Seeing this scene, Ling Pengyun couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"This kind of defensive power is worthy of being a defensive light curtain that can only be supported by second-level magic weapons."

"If I were still in the realm of Qi training now, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to shatter this light curtain in a short time even with all my strength."

"It seems that my first-level Qingling Sword is indeed difficult to keep up with my cultivation level."

"If there is a chance in the future, I will have to find a second-level offensive weapon."

It is difficult for the first-level defensive magic weapon to hold up the light curtain, and only the second-level magic weapon can hold up the defensive light screen.

There are many reasons for this. The main reason is that only second-order spiritual iron has the ability to transform into a light curtain through the spiritual power injected by monks.

When Ling Pengyun was just building the foundation, he told Ling Pengyun about the family's financial situation.

In recent years, the Ling family has purchased shops in the newly established five counties and cities of Jiaozhou and purchased a foundation-building pill for Ling Pengxing, which has led to the consumption of the spiritual stones accumulated by the family for more than two hundred years. Seven, seven, eight, eight.

It would be good to be able to equip Ling Pengyun, a new foundation-building monk in the family, with a second-level defensive magic weapon that was much more expensive than an offensive magic weapon.

"Now that the mixed rock shield has been refined through sacrifice, it's time to go find the Spirit Gathering Pill."

Ling Pengyun stood up and walked out of the quiet room, heading towards the only public service hall in the clan that sold spiritual items.

His courtyard and the General Affairs Hall are located on a large piece of flat land halfway up Lingyun Mountain, and they are also very close to each other.

After a while, Ling Pengyun entered the General Affairs Hall.

There was no one else in the General Affairs Hall. Only Ling Ruxian, who was in charge of the General Affairs Hall, kept fiddling with a sandalwood abacus, looking through the account books, and checking to avoid making mistakes.

"Peng Yun, have you consolidated your cultivation?" Ling Ruxian, who was checking the account books, saw Ling Pengyun's arrival, raised a smile on his face, and asked.

"Third Grandfather gave me six Spirit-Gathering Pills six months ago. With the help of those six Spirit-Gathering Pills, I consolidated my realm as early as three months ago. I even practiced for three months and became more diligent. A lot of cultivation." Ling Pengyun spoke truthfully, and then revealed the purpose of his visit.

"As for my coming here this time, I plan to buy the Spirit Gathering Pill."

Ling Jin heard the words first, the smile on his face grew a little bit, and he said with a smile.

"It's good that your cultivation has been consolidated. There are quite a few in the Spirit-Gathering Pill family. Your Third Grandfather's success rate in refining the Spirit-Gathering Pill is over [-]%. As long as you have contribution points or spirit stones, you can stay in the family. It can be bought.”

"If you have contributed points to buy the Spirit Gathering Pill, it will be cheaper, 140 contribution points per piece. If you buy it with spirit stones, you need to pay 200 yuan per spirit stone according to the market price."

"How many Spirit Gathering Pills do you need?"

The General Affairs Hall sells spiritual objects. If the clan members have contributed points to buy them, they will always be sold at [-]% of the market price.

This method is also to increase the enthusiasm of the tribesmen to do things for the family.

Contribution points are different from salary. They are distributed every month. Contribution points can only be obtained by doing things for the family.

Ling Pengyun's expression changed slightly when he heard Ling Jinxian asking how many spirit-gathering pills he needed to buy. He mobilized his spiritual consciousness to inject it into the storage bag and check the number of spirit stones in the storage bag.

When he found out that there were 850 spiritual stones, he spoke.

"Nine spirit-gathering pills."

After saying that, he summoned 800 yuan of spiritual stones from his storage bag and placed them on the ground.

The one thousand, eight hundred and fifty three spiritual stones in his storage bag were the remuneration the family had received from repaying Ling Pengyun's refining of the Thousand Green Spirit Swords in the past three years.He originally had 850 yuan of spiritual stones in three years, but more than five months ago, Ling Yunhong, who participated in the triennial Xiyang meeting in Xiyang County near the boundary of Jiaomang Lake, helped him buy three bottles of 3000-year-old Evergreen Spirit. For each bottle of water, 50 yuan of spiritual stones were given to the family, and 300 yuan of spiritual stones were spent.

In addition, during the three years of seclusion, he spent some spiritual stones on Fengying Peng, two Songhua Spirit Chickens, and the three Earth-covering Earthworms, leaving only these 850 spiritual stones.

As for the purchase of Evergreen Spiritual Water, it is given to Feng Yingpeng to take it to help it enter the late stage of Qi training quickly.

Only Feng Yingpeng who has entered the late stage of Qi training and can travel more than eight thousand miles a day will be useful to Ling Pengyun who is in the foundation building stage.

Ling Jin first saw that Ling Pengyun took out one thousand, eight hundred yuan spiritual stones, and his expression was slightly shocked.

However, he felt relieved when he thought that Ling Pengyun had refined a large number of Qingling Swords for his family and received a lot of rewards.

"I don't have the spirit-gathering pill with me. I need to go to the clan treasury on the top of the mountain to get it. Please wait for me for a moment." Ling Jin first put away the 800 yuan spirit stone, said something, and left the general affairs hall. .

After waiting for a while, Ling Ruxian returned to the General Affairs Hall again.

As soon as he entered the General Affairs Hall, he took out seven medicine bottles from his storage bag and handed them to Ling Pengyun.

Ling Pengyun felt a little strange when he saw this. Generally, pills come in packages of two in a bottle.

It stands to reason that the nine spirit-gathering pills he purchased would be enough to fit into five medicine bottles.

He mobilized his consciousness and scanned the seven medicine bottles in his hand, only to find that there were fourteen spirit-gathering pills in them.

"Eleventh great-grandfather, why are there five more spirit-gathering pills?" Ling Pengyun asked in surprise.

"You don't need to think too much. The five extra spirit-gathering pills were purchased by me with my contribution points."

"Although these spirit-gathering pills are not many, I hope you will not be too little. Although I have children, I only have one, Grandpa Yunfu. You also know the situation of Grandpa Yunfu. Although he has many wives and concubines, he has given birth to There are many children, but they are all mortals, and none of them has spiritual roots."

"I don't have much life left, and your Grandpa Yunfu is over eighty years old now, so he only has 30 to [-] years left at most."

"It is still unclear whether he can give birth to a child with spiritual roots with his wife and concubines during his last life."

"Even if a person with spiritual roots is born, I'm afraid your Grandpa Yunfu, who doesn't have much life left, won't be able to take care of him too much."

At this point, Ling Jin paused for a moment and rarely pleaded.

"Under such circumstances, if in the future, my lineage really produces a more talented child, I would like you to give me more support."

Ling Ruxian had a son named Ling Yunfu, who, like Ling Ruxian, was the elder of the family.

Ling Yunfu serves as the fourth elder of the family. He is deeply impressed by his father's talent in business and has a high talent for business.

Therefore, Ling Yunfu has been sent out by the family all year round to manage the family's business in various Dafang cities.

Today, Ling Yunfu personally manages a Baobao Pavilion opened by his family in Xiyangfang City, which was established in recent years.

When Ling Pengyun heard Ling Ruxian's words, he also understood the true intention of the five spirit-gathering pills.

He had no intention of doing so.

It’s human nature to pave the way for future generations.

Furthermore, Ling Ruxian was not too weak to lead him. If Ling Ruxian had spiritual roots in his lineage, it would not be a big deal if the descendants were given a hand.

"Eleventh great-grandfather, what you said is serious. Even if I don't have these five spirit-gathering pills, I will take more care of your clan with spiritual roots. My spiritual cultivation skills all come from you."

"Even the thorns and vines that were born as spiritual plants were carefully selected by you and purchased from others at a high price. Without the spiritual seeds of the thorns and vines that you gave me, I definitely would not have reached the level of cultivation that I have now so quickly. for."

"I will always keep this kind of kindness in my heart. If there is a person with spiritual roots in your lineage, regardless of his talent, I will try my best to support him." Ling Pengyun said with a serious expression.

After hearing this, Ling Ruxian was extremely satisfied, and a happy smile appeared on his face. He sighed inwardly that he had not misjudged the person at the beginning, and that he had not let down the training he had given Ling Pengyun in his early years.

"Very good, very good." Ling Jinxian said with a smile.

"Eleventh great-grandfather, as for the five spirit-gathering pills you gave me, I won't be polite." Ling Pengyun said.

"It's natural, you can take it." With Ling Pengyun's assurance just now, Ling Jinxian was very confident.

The two then chatted for a few more words. Finally, Ling Jin told Ling Pengyun that the family would hold a year-end review at the end of the year in six months, so Ling Pengyun must come.

After agreeing to this, Ling Pengyun left the General Affairs Hall and returned to his quiet room in the courtyard.

Quiet indoors.

Ling Pengyun sat cross-legged on the futon, waved the fourteen spirit-gathering pills he got from this trip to the General Affairs Hall from the storage bag, looked slightly happy, and murmured to himself.

"The family now has four foundation builders to supply four foundation builders. It also needs to put out some spirit gathering pills to store in the alchemy shops opened by the family in various cities, but there are still such a number of gathering pills. Spiritual elixir, the third ancestor must have had a high success rate in refining this spirit-gathering elixir."

"This is a great thing for family monks like us. If I need the Spirit Gathering Pill in the future, I can just go to the family general affairs hall. I don't need to look for spiritual objects like the Spirit Gathering Pill like ordinary Foundation Establishment monks."

"At the beginning, it would have been wise for the clan to exchange their share of the Xuanshui mineral vein from Bailingmen for the second-level alchemy inheritance."

"But thinking about it this way, the Third Grandfather is a great talent. He has achieved such achievements in the alchemy path only for more than ten years. I think he will not stop here in the alchemy path. In the future, with the cultivation resources, as long as he has With enough spiritual stones, I don’t have to worry about not being able to buy them.”

Any spiritual object that reaches the second level is extremely rare. For example, second-level low-grade spirit-gathering pills are rare in shops in major cities. Only more soul-gathering pills appear in auctions in various cities.

Thinking about it like this, Ling Pengyun thought of Ling Yunhong's cultivation.

"The Third Grandfather should be only about 120 years old. He has not been seriously injured. He has at least 30 or [-] years left to live."

"As early as eight or nine years ago, the Third Grandfather had entered the fourth floor of the Foundation Building. Now he may have entered the fifth floor of the Foundation Building."

"According to Third Patriarch's cultivation speed, with the remaining 30 to [-] years of life, if nothing unexpected happens, there should be no problem in breaking through to the foundation building perfection."

"Perhaps, the third ancestor still has a chance to break through the golden elixir."

Thinking of this, Ling Pengyun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he secretly looked forward to the future achievements of Ling Yunhong, the patriarch who changed the development of the Ling family.
