More than an hour has passed since they went up the mountain, so now the fog halfway up Linghu Peak has been dispersed somewhat by the sunshine.
The two walked down the mountain side by side, and the atmosphere was a bit strange. Finally, Li Xuangang took the lead and said:
"Fellow Daoist Han, I'm sorry about the black mystic pill formula..."
Han Yuru was silent for a moment and did not answer. Finally, she just replied lightly:
"It's okay, this matter has passed."
Li Xuangang breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that the other party was actually quite open-minded.
But just when he was secretly rejoicing, Han Yuru suddenly stretched out a clean and white hand in front of Li Xuangang and spread it out. A forearm with skin as smooth as gel was also exposed from the sleeve.
Li Xuangang's mind was slightly disturbed and he stopped.
He looked at Han Yuru's palm, and the lines on the other person's palm were very clear in his sight. Then he looked at Han Yuru's pretty face with a hint of doubt.
"Give me back my spiritual peach core!"
Li Xuangang was stunned on the spot, how should he deal with this? The peach core had already taken root in the Jieyuan space. He couldn't pull it out and give it to her again!
...
After coming down from Linghu Peak, Li Xuangang first went to the pasture at the foot of Taiqiu Mountain.
There he saw nine tall turtle beasts and Li Yuheng who was lying leisurely on a huge rock reading a book.
Seeing Li Xuangang coming, Li Yuheng stood up and called Uncle Jiu as a salute.
The two chatted for a while, mainly Li Xuangang asking questions and Li Yuheng answering.
At noon, Li Xuangang returned to his cave. He sat cross-legged on the stone bed and began to think about how to fulfill his promise to Han Yuru.
Naturally, he could not return the peach stone to her, so after several rounds of bargaining, Li Xuangang agreed to sort out his spiritual planting experience and give it to her.
In order to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible, Li Xuangang even put aside practicing the Nine Corpses Return to Origin Art, and instead spent two days burning all his experience in planting spiritual plants into a jade tube.
By the time Li Xuangang finished recording, he was already exhausted. Although these experiences were deeply reflected in his mind, it still took a lot of effort to sort them out one by one.
When he was about to walk out of the cave and give the jade tube to Han Yuru, he suddenly thought of something, so he returned to the stone bed, took out another jade tube and burned it again, preparing to put it in Jieyuan later.
space.
After the burning was completed, he put the two jade tubes into his storage bag, opened the cave ban, and walked out.
Han Yuru's cave is located on the mountainside behind Taiqiu Mountain. The spiritual energy there is not very abundant, but it is enough for Han Yuru who has only reached the seventh level of Qi refining.
Besides, it's very close to Alchemy Peak, so it's very convenient for her to go to Li's Alchemy Pavilion to make alchemy.
According to the location Han Yuru told him yesterday, Li Xuangang found the location of her cave.
But when he saw this cave, Li Xuangang was a little dumbfounded. It turned out that Han Yuru had planted many ordinary plants outside his cave. There were many kinds of plants, and they were all common flowers.
I wonder what use she can get by planting these?
After sending out a paper crane as a message, Li Xuangang took a few steps back and waited quietly for her to come out.
During this period, I also looked at the various flowers planted by Han Yuru with great interest. Although these things were of no use, they looked pretty good.
While Li Xuangang was squatting and observing these flowers, Han Yuru's cave opened.
He heard the footsteps, so he stood up and took out the jade tube that he had prepared from his storage bag and handed it over.
After Han Yuru took it, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Is it sorted out so quickly?"
Li Xuangang ignored her slightly surprised expression and said calmly:
"You can burn a copy of this jade tube yourself, and then send the copy to the Shanggong Hall for storage. If nothing unexpected happens, the Shanggong Hall can give you about fifty points of family contribution. Although it is not much, it can be regarded as my contribution to you.
Compensation for a peach stone."
Han Yuru placed the jade tube on her forehead and began to carefully check the contents. She thought that she had been deceived by him last time, and she wanted to check it carefully this time.
Seeing Han Yuru carefully examining the jade tube, Li Xuangang probably guessed what she was thinking, but he didn't know if she had listened to what he just said.
After a while, when Li Xuangang was about to leave, he seemed to have thought of something.
He turned around and took out another low-level spirit gathering circle and some low-level spirit flower seeds from his storage bag.
He handed these things to Han Yuru and said:
"In order to protect the spiritual veins, the family does not allow the use of advanced spirit gathering circles on the mountain, but those who are not advanced can still use them. In addition, these are some spiritual flower seeds that are useless to me. If you are interested, you can use them in your cave.
Plant some outside. I have recorded the types and care methods of these spiritual flowers in the jade tube I gave you, so you can check them yourself later."
Han Yuru took these things and nodded blankly.
Afterwards, Li Xuangang left completely and returned to his cave.
The low-level spirit-gathering array was used by him to plant Zhudan grass in his cave many years ago, and the spirit flower seeds were collected from the Jieyuan space over the years. He was originally planning to sell them.
, but saw Han Yuru planting some flowers outside the cave, so he gave them to her on an impromptu basis.
...
Putting aside distracting thoughts, Li Xuangang took out the Nine Corpses Guiyuan Jue and began to study it seriously.
Time passed like this little by little, and Li Xuangang's understanding of the Nine Corpses Return to Origin Art became more and more profound.
Soon after, Li Qinghuan, who had received the family message, was also preparing to leave from the Lingshan stronghold. After a brief handover with Li Qingyang and Li Qingjing who arrived, he turned into a ray of light and began to rush back to Taiqiu Mountain without stopping.
Li Changzhi is still staying in the family's weapon refining pavilion in Wujiangfang City, and he is preparing to become a third-level weapon refiner.
When he received a message from his family and learned that Li Qingyang and Li Qingjing had successfully broken through the foundation building stage, he was very happy. He even stopped trying to refine the third-level magic weapon in his hand, walked out of the cave, and personally asked the people who stayed in Wujiang.
The clan members in Fangshi announced the news.
...
A month and a half later, Li Xuangang woke up on time. He had now comprehended the first level of the Nine Corpses Returning to the Origin Art to the point where he could start practicing it.
But now he had to temporarily stop his progress because the time agreed with his sixth uncle Li Qingshu had come.
He rushed from Taiqiu Mountain to Tianhefang City as quickly as possible. Li Xuangang was waiting outside the cave of his sixth uncle Li Qingshu early.
There were no surprises this time. Sixth Uncle Li Qingshu successfully refining Li Xuangang's Eight Spider Green Light Sword into an eight-handled second-order low-grade magical weapon.
"The refining process may cause some damage to the restrictions you left on it. Remember to strengthen it after you take it back."
Taking the new Eight Spider Green Light Sword from Li Qingshu's hand, Li Xuangang showed a hint of excitement on his face, and he could clearly feel the sharper sword energy on it.
"Thank you Uncle Six."
Li Qingshu waved his hand and declined Li Xuangang's flattery. After briefly admonishing him about the characteristics of the second-order Eight Spider Green Light Sword, he walked into the cave where he refined the magical weapon.
Li Xuangang said goodbye to him, then went to the hall of the Refining Pavilion and paid the clan members the cost of refining the Eight Spider Green Light Sword.
While walking towards Taiqiu Mountain, I gradually became familiar with the aura of the new Eight Spider Green Light Sword. Since this was a magical weapon that Li Xuangang had been practicing for a long time, I didn't spend much energy and time getting familiar with him this time.
According to common sense, the highest-grade magical weapon a monk can control is equivalent to his cultivation level, but the reality is different.
For example, in most cases, ordinary monks in the early stages of foundation building use second-level mid-level or second-level low-level magic weapons, rather than third-level low-level magic weapons.
Because although he can control third-level low-grade magical weapons, the spiritual power required to do so is too huge. Generally, after he launches a few attacks, his spiritual power will be consumed to the tune of seven or eighty-eight percent.
If the victory is not decided in these attacks, it will put yourself in a very dangerous situation.
For example, Li Xuangang's seventh uncle Li Changzhi. Li Changzhi is now a monk in the middle stage of foundation building. He also has a third-level low-grade flame spirit sword, but he rarely uses it and only calls it out of the storage bag when he has to.
He usually used the sixteen second-level middle-grade gold knives against his enemy Li Changzhi.
Li Xuangang knew that he was currently at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and according to common sense, he could control a second-level high-grade magical weapon. But for him, this second-level low-grade Eight Spider Green Light Sword was just right for him.
It is more powerful than a first-level magic weapon, but unlike a second-level high-quality magic weapon, it will not fall into a state of spiritual energy exhaustion after launching a few attacks.
To put it simply, a monk can best control the magic weapon corresponding to his own cultivation level, but in order to facilitate actual combat, they will often choose a magic weapon that is one or two levels lower than their own cultivation level as the main magic weapon.
If they are lucky enough to have the highest level magic weapon they can control, they will only use it at critical moments.
Li Xuangang returned to the cave and tried to control all eight Eight Spider Green Light Swords, but in the end he discovered that since the Eight Spider Green Light Swords were a set of magical weapons, if they were all used together, the spiritual power required would actually be the same as the two.
The mid-level magic weapons are almost the same.
After Li Xuangang discovered this conclusion, he gave a helpless smile. He estimated that if he wanted to use the Eight Spider Green Light Sword for a long time to attack, he could only control four of them at the same time.
Of course, in critical situations, regardless of the consumption of spiritual power, he can still use the eight-handled Eight-Spider Green Light Sword to launch several attacks at the same time.
Now that the Eight Spiders Green Light Sword has been retrieved, there is not much time left before he leaves Taiqiu Mountain and goes to Mangshanfang City.
During the next period of time, Li Xuangang planned to practice the Nine Corpses Return to Origin Art while strengthening his control over the Eight Spiders Green Light Sword.
