Chapter 24 Fu Bing (Seeking Collection, Recommendation, and Investment)
In addition to the routine inspections of the Qingyu Spirit Mine and the Yin land at the bottom of the Lingyu River, every ten days, they need to make a handover with the clan members who are mining the Qingshi Spirit Mine.
According to the family regulations, for every hundred pieces of Qingshi Spirit Mine mined, these clan members in the early stage of Qi training can get a piece of Spirit Stone as a reward.
Due to their own cultivation, they usually take care of the Spirit Field and Spirit Medicine Garden in Shenquan Mountain, and only get one Spirit Stone as a reward in a month, which is already a considerable reward.
As long as they are not lazy, a cultivator of the third level of Qi training can easily mine 400 pieces of standard Qingshi every month with the help of special magic tools, which is already a considerable reward for them.
Four Spirit Stones can buy four first-level lower-grade Qi-moving Pills to assist in cultivation. If you meet some first-level lower-grade alchemists who are casual cultivators, the number of purchases can be increased.
In this Qingshi Spirit Mine, the most typical more work, more pay is being implemented, and of course the family will also set a minimum requirement.
If the monthly mining volume cannot meet the requirements, the family will give certain punishments, and even replace the monks to mine the spiritual ore.
For the mining of the bluestone spiritual ore, the family will slowly increase more monks to come to mine, but it takes a certain amount of time to mobilize manpower.
As a guarding monk, Sun Mingsheng's task is not heavy, and his main energy is still placed on cultivation, and he even slows down the drawing of talismans.
"Using spiritual stones as an aid to cultivation can only be done occasionally, and two spiritual stones can only last for seven or eight days." Sun Mingsheng, who was sitting upright, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the two spiritual stones in his hands that had turned pale. With a pinch of his hands, they turned into pieces of flying ash.
The spiritual stone contains rich spiritual power. In addition to being a normal exchange medium, it can also be used to assist cultivation.
However, this relatively luxurious way of cultivation can only be used at some relatively critical moments for most monks.
For Sun Mingsheng's sixth-level cultivation, two spiritual stones to assist cultivation are not obvious for the improvement of cultivation, but can only increase the amount of mana during the operation of the Great Zhoutian.
"It's a pity that there is no formation master in the family, otherwise, setting up a set of spirit gathering formations over time would also be beneficial to the advancement of cultivation." Sun Mingsheng showed a yearning look on his face.
The spirit gathering formation is a purely auxiliary formation that can gather the surrounding spiritual power and increase the spiritual power supply in the training room.
There is no formation master in the Sun family, so they can only buy some formation flags at a high price and set them on Shenquan Mountain. Naturally, they have no chance to set them in places like Qingyu Spirit Mine.
Even on Shenquan Mountain, the spirit gathering formation flags are limited. In addition to the four foundation-building cultivators each having a set of second-level low-grade spirit gathering formations, there are only three retreat rooms used for breaking through the barriers, each with a set of first-level upper-grade, first-level middle-grade, and first-level lower-grade formation flags, corresponding to the cultivation of different cultivators.
These three retreat rooms are not easy to use. They are only qualified to be used when breaking through the bottlenecks of the middle stage of Qi training, the late stage of Qi training, and the foundation-building period.
On weekdays, the most important function is to gather spiritual power and increase the spiritual power concentration in the retreat room little by little. Once a family member needs to use it, it can be guaranteed to exert the strongest effect.
"This talisman outline was also purchased at a high price by the elders of the family at an auction. It can be regarded as a support for me to continue to move forward in the way of talismans," said Sun Mingsheng, looking at a jade slip in his hand.
As the number of fire bird talismans and fire wall talismans provided to the family on a monthly basis increases, the family will also provide some basic support within its capacity.
This talisman outline was written by a second-level low-grade talisman master, and most of it records the experience and lessons of making talismans throughout his life and the characteristics of various talismans.
There are many special methods that he has never heard of, and he has a deeper understanding of the way of talismans.
"Simply drawing some talismans based on sealing spells is just the simplest method. The way of talismans is not as useless as imagined. It is profound and worth my further study." After reading it roughly, Sun Mingsheng has gained some results.
He had a feeling that if he could fully comprehend this talisman outline, he would have a great benefit in the future on the road of talismans, and it could even be said that he would step into another new stage.
In addition, this talisman outline also records the inheritance of twelve kinds of spells, including two first-level low-grade spells, six first-level medium-grade spells, three first-level high-grade spells, and one second-level low-grade spell.
There are two fire-attribute spells in the first-level medium-grade spells. In addition to the fire bird spell, there is also a fire snake spell, which has stronger attack power than the fire bird, but lacks some flexibility.
If he can comprehend this spell, he can have an extra means to deal with the enemy in the future, and the family can also have an extra talisman to sell to the outside world.
At present, Sun Mingsheng refines about twenty fire bird spells and about fifteen fire wall spells every month. In addition to supplying them to the monks within the family, more than half of them will also be sold in the shops in the market, which can bring more than ten spirit stones of income to the family every month.
In fact, for the shops, this little bit of talismans is nothing. The most important thing is to achieve point-to-surface.
With a small amount of high-quality talismans to drive the flow of people in the store, the sales volume of other cultivation resources will naturally increase.
Of course, with his current level, he has not achieved such an obvious effect. If he has the ability to refine some talismans with relatively obvious and special effects in the future, it will naturally be better.
For example, the jade talismans and talisman soldiers mentioned repeatedly in this talisman outline.
Jade talismans are relative to talismans drawn on talisman paper. After a normal talisman is sacrificed once, all the magic power sealed in it will be fully exerted, and the entire talisman will only have one chance to be used.
Jade talismans are carved based on some high-grade jade. After the spell is carved, it can be used repeatedly until it exceeds the tolerance range of the jade itself and breaks.
The jade used to carve jade talismans has different types and grades, and the number of times they can be used is also completely different. The difficulty of carving is not high, but the most difficult part is finding jade.
In addition, each piece of jade is valuable and has other uses, such as refining magic tools, etc. The three low-grade talismans that he currently knows how to draw are obviously not worth wasting jade for engraving.
As for the talisman soldiers, they are a completely different system. On the surface, they have a certain relationship with the talismans, but they are independent of the talismans.
The name of the talisman soldiers can give you an understanding of it. As the name suggests, the talismans are used as weapons. The process is similar to refining tools. After the refining is successful, it is controlled by the spirit stone, which is equivalent to a simple puppet.
Unfortunately, the method of refining talisman soldiers is a secret that many sects do not pass on. It is not easy to obtain it. Maybe there is still some possibility to improve your cultivation in the future.
