Spirit cultivation and immortality, how do you control an aircraft carrier?

Chapter 127 You are not qualified to call yourself a prodigy in front of me.

You have a big appetite?

Shen Huang quickly probed Xiao Yin's storage space with his spiritual sense to check how much of that spiritual material was left.

Then I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

That box of spiritual materials was also divided into three layers. Apart from the relatively expensive high-quality spiritual materials at the bottom, the basic spiritual materials were worth about four hundred contribution points.

A full four thousand bags of Bai Ling rice!

You can exchange it for four of the lowest-level Qiankun Bags.

This is considered one of the more valuable boxes among these thirteen boxes of gifts.

For a typical protective spirit, it would be enough for several years of refinement and cultivation.

But what about now?

In just two days, almost one-fifth of it was used up.

This doesn't even include Xiao Chi, who just had his spirit awakened yesterday. Just the three of them—Xiao Yin, Xiao Wan, and Xiao Yuan—consume about eight hundred bags of white spirit rice every day.

Moreover, Shen Huang knew very well that they had already exercised enough restraint.

Otherwise, we should have used all the higher-quality spiritual materials as well.

If that's the case, the daily consumption would have to increase several times over.

No wonder ordinary spirit masters don't dare to raise too many protective spirits; most spirit masters simply can't afford to.

Shen Huang already has enough treasures, but the spirit of protection is not made of flesh and blood, and its body needs various spiritual materials to be nurtured and strengthened.

Not raising them? Then you'll be at a disadvantage compared to others!

"Buy it!" Shen Huang decided immediately. "We must buy it. We can't let go of any method that can speed up cultivation and enhance our strength."

He knew very well that in this world, farming was not for wealth, but for spiritual cultivation, and for going further on the path to the extraordinary.

No matter how much wealth you have, it must eventually be converted into strength, and only with strength can you earn more wealth.

Which one is the key point is obvious.

Shen Huang looked further down and, fortunately, most of the other items were things needed by the home planet and the sanctuary, such as pills. Although there were quite a few, they were not as extravagant as the consumption of himself and the four sanctuary spirits.

Now, Shen Huang's biggest worry is whether he can even buy it.

Money is not enough; you also need a market.

"Currently, the gray fog hinders cultivators from exploiting the world's resources, which can be considered a shortage of supplies." Shen Huang recalled the list of contributions.

At first glance, it seems that one contribution point can be exchanged for five adult strong men, which seems to be very economical, but it is clear that the price of resources is still very expensive.

The thirteen boxes of gifts sent by the Yin family alone, if calculated using contribution points, would be worth at least tens of thousands.

This is after deducting the three second-tier talismans of unknown value!

Contribution points are most valuable when used to exchange for population.

After all, it was hard-won.

"Let's go." Shen Huang twisted the accelerator.

In an instant, Xiao Chi was gone.

In the blink of an eye, they left the sanctuary, and their speed increased rapidly.

If someone were to look from above, they could clearly see a red figure, like a dragon, rapidly traversing through the gray mist forest.

Some of the fog monsters that were somewhat aware of the situation raised their heads, only to immediately look back down in bewilderment.

They seemed to sense a lower-level, sweet-smelling kin, yet they also seemed to sense nothing at all.

Even though Xiao Chi was only a protective spirit at the first level of the Transcendent Realm, such speed was still ridiculously fast.

Although Shen Huang estimated it to be only a speed of over 300 kilometers per hour.

But where is this?

primeval forest!

Everywhere there were fog monsters, bushes, and giant trees.

Sitting in the car, Shen Huang felt a roar in his ears. Xiao Chi excitedly accelerated and jumped around. Although it controlled the spread of the sound for a while with the wind, it did not limit the sound around it, and the wind and engine roar that Shen Huang felt became more and more intense.

At first, Shen Huang was a little nervous, but after getting used to it, he began to enjoy it.

Speed ​​can indeed bring passion.

He even tried to control Xiao Chi. After sensing its master's feelings, Xiao Chi immediately surrendered itself to its master.

It merely retains some autonomy in dodging and overcoming obstacles.

This allowed Shen Huang to enjoy himself to the fullest.

Xiao Chi is so easy to ride!

Riding a motorcycle through the forest at speeds exceeding those of a high-speed train is an unimaginable and impossible experience for any motorcycle enthusiast on the home planet!

So much so that when Shen Huang arrived at Yue Shu Town, the place of Yin Yue Shu's protection, he was somewhat dazed.

How did we get here so soon?

He was quite reluctant to leave.

At this moment, the people in the sanctuary also noticed Shen Huang's arrival and hurriedly went to report it.

Soon, Cui'er came out in a hurry.

"Greetings, Young Master Shen."

Cui'er first bowed, but her gaze was immediately drawn to the cool motorcycle Shen Huang was riding.

I didn't see this person when I went to Young Master Shen's place of refuge a few days ago?

It appears to be a newly awakened spirit?

"Cui'er." Shen Huang got off Xiao Chi and noticed her gaze. He couldn't help but smile. "This is a spirit creature that I just awakened last night. It's also my mount. If I need to travel back and forth in the future, it will be much faster."

Mounts...

Cui'er had already guessed it, but she still took a slight breath in her heart.

Mounts with spiritual qualities are quite rare, since most mounts are living beings, and it is very difficult for living beings to be awakened to become protective spirits.

At most, they are just ordinary spiritual objects.

The white tiger spirit protecting her young lady is the envy of countless people.

And this young master Shen...

"How should I address you?" Cui'er couldn't help but ask.

"Xiao Chi." It was Xiao Chi who answered.

She had already asked her master, and there was no need to keep the fact that she could talk a secret. After all, a speaker wasn't exactly high-tech, and Shen Huang had already given each of them a vinyl record player.

However, it was just this one sentence that made Cui'er's eyes widen in surprise.

Even the proper etiquette of a maid couldn't control her expression.

It's not because Xiao Chi can talk.

Rather, it was because the words were calm and contained no hostility!

The spirit was activated last night, which means it's another innate protective spirit?

This is the fourth one!

What other items does Young Master Shen still love?

Looking at Shen Huang, Cui'er felt nothing but admiration.

Even if Young Master Shen's talent is mediocre, he still has a chance to enter the ranks of geniuses just by relying on this ability!

Shen Huang was unaware that Cui'er was marveling at the breadth of his interests. He simply smiled and said, "I've come here for two reasons. First, to pay my respects to Junior Sister Yin and tour the town's residence. Second, I have some matters to discuss. Is Junior Sister Yin currently available to receive guests?"

In this era of limited communication, such inquiries are necessary.

After all, their sudden arrival might mean the host family is either practicing their spiritual cultivation or busy with other matters.

Shen Huang began to doubt his timing, since, given Yin Shimei's style, she should have already appeared by now after knowing he was coming.

Sure enough, Cui'er hesitated slightly.

But it was not what he expected. Cui'er said, "Miss is currently entertaining guests, but they are the pride of the surrounding towns who have come to visit. If Young Master Shen would like to meet them, please come with me. If not, I will arrange for someone to show Young Master Shen around the town."

"The prodigies of the surrounding towns?" Shen Huang was slightly taken aback, but also somewhat delighted.

He was trying to find other business routes, and according to the original plan, he needed to ask Yin Yueshu to introduce him to some.

But unexpectedly, this is exactly what happened.

He smiled gently and said, "Since it's a town in the surrounding area, then of course we should meet it."

"Young Master Shen, please follow me." Cui'er nodded slightly with a smile, but slowed her pace a little and lowered her head. A soft voice reached Shen Huang's ears, "Young Master Shen, among the people who have come this time, there is one person and his attendant who are disciples of the Chen family."

"The Chen family of Linjiang Prefecture?" Shen Huang narrowed his eyes slightly.

He is not entirely ignorant of the various forces in Linjiang Prefecture.

In Linjiang Prefecture, there are four prominent families specializing in cultivating immortality.

They are Yin, Chen, Ji, and Yin Han.

The surnames of these four families are all transliterations, but the last one, Yin Han, could not be found in the local language.

However, it is worth mentioning that behind the four families stand four different immortal sects.

Clearly, this is no coincidence.

This was true in most parts of the country.

Families are themselves a derivative of the power of immortal sects. Except for a few places where one immortal sect is the base, in most places, the power of several immortal sects coexists.

This can be considered a political arrangement in itself.

To prevent a single family or sect from becoming too powerful in one place.

Among these four families, the Ji family and the Yin family are the strongest, while the Chen family and the Yin family are the weakest. To be more precise, the Yin family of Linjiang is the weakest.

However, the Yin family of Linjiang is not the main branch of the Yin family. They have an even more powerful family in other places, which far surpasses this mere prefecture.

This has resulted in the Yin family being the weakest in terms of strength, but the most prestigious among the four major families in Linjiang Prefecture.

The Chen family, though not as powerful as the other two families, surpassed the Yin family of Linjiang, thus leading to numerous conflicts of interest.

That's quite normal.

Although Shen Huang hoped to get along well with everyone and develop peacefully, he believed that no matter what force a party was involved in, even an individual with higher interests would inevitably infringe on the interests of others.

This is what competition is all about!

"I understand," Shen Huang replied softly, naturally knowing why Cui'er had reminded him.

However, Shen Huang didn't have many thoughts about it.

Competition, even rivalry, can also bring considerable benefits.

He followed them all the way toward the mansion.

The minimum population in the town is two thousand, which is quite a large number for a newly established sanctuary. Therefore, Yin Yueshu did not exchange for more, but instead planned to manage these two thousand people first.

Even so, along the way, one can still sense a more prosperous scene.

The houses were not entirely made of wood, but rather mainly of stone bricks, with stones and some kind of adhesive.

Some are fired bricks.

Clearly, some basic building techniques have been preserved.

And once you enter the mansion's gate, the view becomes even clearer.

Although the house is still under construction, the mansion is filled with all kinds of plants, mostly spiritual plants, which are obviously not just for planting and harvesting, but also for decoration.

The houses, also mainly made of wood, were not ordinary wooden houses, but rather very sturdy ones, exuding a faint fragrance and emanating a spiritual energy, clearly indicating that they were not ordinary objects either.

However, the place for receiving guests was not inside the house.

Instead, it was next to an altar.

The spiritual energy here is the most abundant, and entertaining guests here is one of the customs of this country. However, the number of people in this place is more than Shen Huang expected.

There were as many as fourteen or fifteen people.

As soon as Shen Huang walked in, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone was scrutinizing him, and after seeing the starlight that flickered slightly in the depths of Shen Huang's eyes, some people's gazes became more focused.

Yin Yueshu stood up and introduced, "This is Shen Huang, a newly promoted inner disciple of my Star River Immortal Sect."

"Shen Huang greets everyone." Shen Huang bowed in the usual etiquette, with a smile on his face.

He had already stopped refining the remaining spiritual energy of the monster within his body and concealed his aura, only slightly retaining the characteristics of the cultivation technique deep within his eyes, firstly to announce his identity, and secondly to demonstrate his cultivation level.

This is also a matter of etiquette.

We have to thank the books that the Yin family sent us before, and Xiao Wan for reminding us.

Nowadays, except for a few places, Shenhuang hardly shows any signs of being an outsider, which is obviously more advantageous.

After all, being an outsider means having no roots and being easily ostracized.

At that moment, quite a few people stood up to return the greeting.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Shen."

"Yin Hanmuran greets Fellow Daoist Shen."

"Ji Dong of Tianyu Sect greets Fellow Daoist Shen."

66

'

After the introductions, Shen Huang got to know quite a few people, which surprised him.

This is not just the Chen family.

The four major families of Linchuan Prefecture all sent people to establish towns in this small Pingyang County.

Judging from their aura, even the weakest among them is at least at the sixth level of the Transcendent Realm!

Furthermore, there are many who have reached the seventh level of the Transcendent Realm.

They are probably all geniuses similar to Yin Yueshu.

What is it about Pingyang County that attracts these people?

However, Shen Huang's gaze also fell on the few people who were sitting alone.

Needless to say, this must be the Chen family.

The leader, a robust and smartly dressed spirit master who appeared to be a body cultivator, did not look at Shen Huang, but simply had a slightly somber expression.

But the person behind him chuckled twice and looked Shen Huang up and down.

"At such a young age, only at the fourth level of the Mortal Transformation Realm? Miss Yin is exaggerating. Not every Spirit Master who successfully cultivates the Star River True Scripture can be called a 'prodigy.' If you're going to be contemplating weak celestial bodies, you might as well cultivate a superior technique."

He shook his head slightly, his tone calm, but his provocation was unmistakable.

In the Kingdom of Ji, "prodigy" is not just a compliment, but also a status.

They represent potential and status, having reached a certain level within their respective factions.

Questioning the identity of a prodigy is a serious act of hostility, equivalent to questioning one's status.

Status determines social circles, and clearly, this is an attempt to exclude Shen Huang from this circle.

Even Shen Huang was slightly taken aback.

No, really that direct?

Although they knew there was a conflict of interest and the families were quite incompatible, the fact that they wanted to kick him out on their very first meeting was truly unpretentious, practically screaming "We're not on the same side" on their faces.

However, Shen Huang did indeed sized up the man as well.

The sixth level of mortal transformation.

"I wonder who this person is..."

"This is the prodigy of the Rong family," someone introduced from the side. Although the words were quite polite, the expression on their face was full of amusement.

Shen Huang shook his head as well, but looked at the other party with a sincere expression: "Whether I can be called a prodigy is another matter, but to be honest, in front of me, you are really not qualified to be called a prodigy."
