Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 205 Second Level Spiritual Vein
"Hey, Master Kang, you are brave enough to save your wife?!" The Taoist priest in black shoes came late, leaning on his flying sword, and walked over while smiling at Kang Dabao.

Kang Dabao could only smile bitterly and begged for mercy, "Uncle Master, please stop joking. How come you came so late? I almost fainted from fright."

The Taoist priest in black shoes reached out and pulled him up, whispering, "If it wasn't for you to save the beauty, I would have killed the red toad with my sword a long time ago. It wouldn't have taken so long."

"Ah?" Master Kang was a little surprised. Why did this feel a little bit improper?

Nanny Sun was not dead. She forced herself to stand up with her broken body and moved over. Just as she was about to walk past Fei Shuhe, she wanted to go to Kang Dabao and ask for help.

This old woman knew her young lady's temper very well, and she would definitely not say a single soft word in front of the Black Shoe Taoist and Kang Dabao.

But this green-skinned red clam was concerned about the young lady's future. Even Nanny Sun had been to Xuanwei City and Hancheng, the two most prosperous cities in Yunjiao Province, several times but failed to find him.

Unexpectedly, one was found nearby. After nearly a month of preparation, she still failed to catch it. How could Nanny Sun be willing to watch the black-shoe Taoist take the green-skinned red clam away?

"Miss?" Nanny Sun's mouth was still bloody. She looked at Fei Shuhe who was holding her hand and spoke with confusion.

Fei Shuhe shook her head slightly, and dispelled Nanny Sun's idea of ​​being humble and submissive.

Taoist Heishi smiled and bowed to Nanny Sun. He turned to Kang Dabao and said, "Take care of this beast, and then follow me to the pond. There are some things that need to be dealt with."

"Yes!" Master Kang was a little excited when he looked at the huge corpse of the green-skinned red clam. It was the first time he had the opportunity to deal with the corpse of a second-level monster.

Don’t underestimate this green-skinned red clam, as it is considered difficult to chew and worthless in the eyes of most foundation-building cultivators.

Except for their essence and blood, which are top-quality talisman ink materials like all red clams, the other materials are not as good as those of monsters of the same level, so few people target them when hunting.

But for a young Qi-cultivating cultivator like Master Kang, this green-skinned red clam is a treasure trove.

Kang Dabao showed his usual meticulous attitude, picking out and sorting out the materials from the green-skinned red clam one by one, and put them into the storage bag in an orderly manner. He then bowed to Nanny Sun and Fei Shuhe, and was about to follow the black-shoe Taoist into the lake.

Nanny Sun wanted to say something, but was stopped by Fei Shuhe beside her. She sighed and finally watched Master Kang turn around and leave.

"Yu'er, Ping'er, take out the wound medicine and give it to the guards. Jie'er, Wan'er, use jade slips to carefully record the names and biographies of those who died in the battle, and ask Sima Mansion to send them back to their hometowns and allocate compensation. And, that..."

There was a hint of disappointment in Fei Shuhe's cold tone. This defeat did make her very tired, but she did not completely forget her identity as the master of Qinghan Courtyard.

After arranging these things in a clear order, Fei Shuhe looked at Nanny Sun who was regulating her breathing and healing her injuries.

If they were not one of your own, who would risk their lives for you like this? Fei Shuhe felt a little grateful, but he saw that Master Kang on the other side walked to the edge of the pond and turned around and came back.

The fat man hadn't even wiped the sweat and mud off his face, and his eyes were as evasive as before. There seemed to be a deep spring hidden in his small eyes, and you had to look carefully to see the faint admiration in them.

Kang Dabao walked up to Fei Shuhe without saying a word. He handed an object wrapped in a brocade handkerchief to Yu'er beside him, then bowed and left.

Before Fei Shuhe could react, Master Kang had already turned and left.

The former opened his mouth slightly and stretched out his hand towards Kang Dabao's back, as if he wanted to say something. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't make a sound.

Yu'er, who was beside her, only heard her young lady's final sigh before she withdrew her hands. Her beautiful eyes kept moving between Jinpa and the backs of Master Kang.

——Under the Deep Pool
"Ha, you left the green-skinned red clam heart to that little girl, right?" Taoist Heilu entered the deep pool for a long time, but did not do anything serious. He waited until Kang Dabao followed down with a water-proof magic weapon, then he asked with a smile.

"How come uncle knows everything?!" Master Kang was shocked again.

"Don't think that you know what a woman is just because you slept with a young widow in Chongming Market. You are far from it!" The Taoist Hei Lu did not answer him at first, and then said:
"According to your personality of playing both sides, this jade-skinned red clam heart is just rare, and it is not worth much. Even I can't figure out why the little girl and the old woman went to so much trouble, so why would you be reluctant to give it away to please others?"

"Hehe, uncle-master really understands me." Sect Leader Kang answered with a smile. What Taoist Heilu said was true. If this green-skinned red clam heart was worth thousands or tens of thousands of spirit stones, let alone Fei Shuhe, even if Fei Sima was there, he would not be willing to give it away.

"As for women, don't do everything according to their wishes in the future. Otherwise, once they get used to it, they will take it for granted. No matter how hard you work, they will think you are saying 'May I be like the stars and you be like the moon'!"

Kang Dabao listened to the instructions honestly, but he didn't expect that his uncle with black shoes really understood women's ways. But we should get down to business first, right? What on earth did the two of them come down for?
As if seeing the doubt in Kang Dabao's eyes, Taoist Hei Lu continued, "I have been to the inner mountain of Jackdaw Mountain before. It is said that there are third-level monsters there. Before I went there, I only heard people say how dangerous it is. In fact, even there, the density of second-level monsters is very low. Sometimes, I can't see a single one for several days.

This Jade-skinned Red Clam is already a second-grade mid-grade one. It would never appear here for no reason. It must be something that lured it here."

The idea of ​​Taoist Hei Lu was consistent with the earlier doubts of Master Kang. They both believed that there must be something at the bottom of the pond that attracted the green-skinned red clam.

Nanny Sun and Fei Shuhe also understood this point, but if they could handle the situation themselves, they would come down to investigate. But now, they are afraid to compete with the black shoe Taoist.

After working for nearly a whole day, not only did Master Kang gain nothing, but even the Black Shoe Taoist came back empty-handed.

The latter remembered what he had said before, and felt a little embarrassed, so he continued: "Let's search for another half a day. Maybe the things here were hidden by the beast, so we can't find them for the time being."

Kang Dabao naturally obeyed the order and continued to search honestly. After searching for another four or five hours, Master Kang felt a little hungry.

Kang Dabao, a young Qigong practitioner, cannot compare to the Taoist Heilu. The latter remains the same even when he is at the bottom of a pond, without even a water-avoiding device.

You know, operating the water-avoiding device is also a physical job. Since Master Kang is tired, he goes ashore to rest for a while and replenishes some water.

Master Kang jumped out of the water, found a rock slab exposed on the surface of the pond, took out the pork elbow that he had asked Moer to stew before leaving the sect, and started eating it.

The little girl's cooking skills are the best in the whole sect except for Jin Shilun. The dish is rich but not greasy, and leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth.

After he successfully draws the spirit into his body, maybe he can actually have a job as a chef.

Xiaoqi smelled the fragrance from Kang Dabao's sleeve and poked his head out. This little guy had been sleeping for a few days while growing up. He was not polite at all, crawled along Kang Dabao's sleeve to his hand, stretched his neck, and took a bite of the most delicious part.

After one bite, there was another. Even though this little guy was still only the size of Kang Dazhangmen's palm, this elbow, which was as long as an arm, was shared equally with Kang Dabao.

Although his mouth was full of oil, because Xiaoqi was competing for food with him, Kang Dabao still felt a little unsatisfied when he looked at the bare bones in his hand without any meat on them.

This little guy lives a much better life than his "big brother". Kang Dabao is much more well-off now than he was back then, and can even afford rare spiritual herbs like coral reef.

As long as there are enough spiritual materials, the spiritual beast's cultivation speed will be much faster than that of ordinary cultivators. Therefore, according to the estimation of the head of Kangda, Xiaoqi will be able to be promoted to the first-level middle grade in about half a year.

After the man and the turtle had eaten and drunk their fill, they continued their search. However, when they reached the bottom of the pool, Xiao Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he bit Kang Dabao's sleeve and pulled it.

"Hmm?" Master Kang followed Xiaoqi in a few steps and arrived at a huge rock cave at the bottom of a pool.

How could Black-Shoe Taoist and Kang Dabao let go of such a conspicuous place? They came here one after another but didn't find anything unusual. What could Xiaoqi find?
Just when Master Kang was wondering whether Xiaoqi had taken the wrong path, he saw it jump out of the water-avoiding magic weapon and land on a pile of stone balls that looked normal in Kang Dabao's eyes.

These stone balls were only the size of a baby's finger, but Xiaoqi just waved his little claws and danced a few times across the water, and the outer shells of the stone balls peeled off one by one, revealing the crystal clear and dazzling body inside.

A flash of inspiration came to him. Sect Leader Kang was stunned for a moment before he stared at the pearls and said in a stammering voice, "Are these the Naling Pearls?"

"Well, it's the Na Ling Pearls. That beast is quite smart. It knew how to cover all the Na Ling Pearls with feces, which made us waste so much effort."

Even without Kang Dabao sending a message, the Taoist priest Heilu could quickly arrive by following the exposed spiritual light. Even a man as knowledgeable as him was delighted when he suddenly saw so many spiritual beads.

The Nalingzhu is a spiritual object that can only be produced by spiritual veins of the second level or above. It can be produced approximately once every thousand years. The spiritual power contained in it cannot be underestimated. Even those who are practicing to establish their foundation can use this object for cultivation and breakthroughs.

And since the Nalingzhu is here, then.
"A second-level spiritual vein?!" Master Kang exclaimed. Is there a second-level spiritual vein at the bottom of this pool?
There were about fifteen or sixteen Nalingzhu exposed, which was probably the output of an ordinary second-level spirit vein in about ten years. Hei Lu Daoist did not take all of them away, but left two for Kang Dabao and said, "I can use these things, so I won't leave too many for you. These two are for this little turtle to buy some good food."

Xiao Qi cried out softly a few times, very dissatisfied that so many of the treasures he had discovered were snatched away by the Black-shoe Taoist, but he did not dare to get angry. He looked at Master Kang with an expression that showed anger at his lack of fighting spirit.

This performance made both Heilu Taoist and Kang Dabao laugh in silence. Master Kang tried to soothe it on the back with his hands for a while, but it didn't work. Instead, he was almost bitten by it. So he simply smiled and put it back into his sleeve, ignoring it for the time being.

"There is actually a second-level spiritual vein under this pond. Since the chaos in Pingrong County, only your family and the Pingrong County Government have a second-level spiritual vein each.

After your family's small ring mountain fell into the hands of another family, his family also suffered from internal strife in the sect, and the spiritual vein was completely destroyed and difficult to repair. The county government was in the same situation.

In this case, this spiritual vein should be the only second-level spiritual vein in Pingrong County at present."

Taoist Heilius said with emotion that, according to the rules, he should have left this barren Pingrong County long ago after he achieved the foundation-building stage, just like Qin Sufu did.

Without a second-level spiritual vein to support his cultivation, it would definitely be an obstacle to his path.

But due to Chongming Sect and some other things, he could not leave Pingrong County temporarily. He had to practice with spirit stones on weekdays. Not only did it cost a lot, but it was not as convenient as spiritual veins for practicing.

Now that he has discovered a second-level spiritual vein, Taoist Heilu’s cultivation will be much smoother.

Sect Leader Kang was also very happy. If it weren't for the fact that Xiaohuan Mountain, where the ancestral temple of the Chongming Sect was located, had not already been ravaged beyond recognition by another family who had seized the mountain gate, his family would have also fallen into ruin due to internal strife, and not even a descendant could be found.

According to the current status of Kang Dazhang, county lieutenant and city lieutenant in Pingrong County, he should have avenged the seven generations of hatred long ago and offered sacrifices to his ancestors.

The black-shoe Taoist just pointed his sword, and a deep scratch was made in the silt at the bottom of the pool that had been accumulated for who knows how long. A large amount of spiritual energy leaked out without any obstruction, washing away Kang Dabao so much that he almost moaned with pleasure.

"Well, this spiritual vein doesn't seem to be hidden by anyone. Most likely, the ground vein changed after the chaos. After the chaotic spiritual energy scattered, it devoured each other and connected, and then a fixed spiritual path was formed. Over time, a second-level spiritual vein was naturally formed at the bottom of this nameless pond.

Yes, second-level lower grade, with abundant spiritual power. The reason why such a large number of spiritual beads can be accumulated is probably because the spiritual energy is messy and no one is sorting it out, and the spiritual path that supplies spiritual energy to the spiritual veins is too narrow, which makes it impossible to advance even though the spiritual energy is sufficient.

I will ask the New Cloud Alliance to find a second-level geomancer someday. After spending tens of thousands of spirit stones, maybe in ten or twenty years, he will be able to be promoted to the middle or even upper level of the second level."

Taoist Heilu was also very satisfied. He used his flying sword to trim the cave into regular shapes and built several stone chambers in an orderly manner.

After doing all this, he then took out a low-grade water-proof array plate and built a simple underwater cave.

"Okay, I will practice here from now on. Don't come to me unless it's important. I will talk to Ye Zhen at the New Cloud Alliance and ask him to write to you if he has anything to say. You can decide for yourself whether to come to me or not.

If you guys want to use this second-level spiritual vein, I will open a few quiet rooms in the cave and distribute tokens. As for how to do things outside, you should know, right? "After the black shoe Taoist finished making the arrangements, he mentioned it again.

"The kid knows, don't worry, uncle!" Master Kang naturally knew what Taoist Heilu was talking about. The Xue family was so close to this spiritual vein, how could that be possible? They had to find a good place for them to move.

"As for whether he is willing to move after being persuaded, he will not be unwilling, right?" Kang Dabao thought to himself.

After all, the two families were in-laws several generations ago, so Master Kang still hopes that the Xue family can be more sensible and not make the situation too ugly.

"I can't use that green-skinned red clam, so you can keep it. When you go back, remember to put a bottle of the red clam's blood next to Big Brother's tomb. Don't be stingy and refine it to make it purer."

".Thank you, Uncle Master. I understand."
