The small Nayin gourd was suspended in front of Li Xuangang, its dark surface emitting a strange light. Even due to Li Xuangang's negligence during refining, a little evil spirit leaked from the gourd's mouth from time to time.
Since the Nayin Gourd was only a first-level low-grade magic weapon and a storage type magic weapon, it did not cost Li Xuangang too much energy.
When Li Xuangang used his spiritual power to guide the Nayin Gourd to absorb a drop of his blood essence, the corpse-containing magic weapon named Nayin Gourd was finally marked with restrictions that belonged to Li Xuangang himself.
Around midnight, the refining was completed.
Li Xuangang stretched out his right hand and struck at the Nayin Gourd floating in front of him, and the latter immediately floated into Li Xuangang's palm.
Li Xuangang slowly rubbed the surface of Nayin's care with his fingers, his face uncertain.
The Corpse Ghost Sect is a large-scale sect on the eastern coast of Chaoyang Continent. For thousands of years, although the Corpse Ghost Sect has protected the cultivation spells in the sect very well, it is inevitable that some will spread. There are many immortal cultivating families and other small sects.
They are all collected, and some are even circulated among casual practitioners.
However, the corpse refining spells and exercises at the core of the Corpse Ghost Sect have not been leaked, so they basically turn a blind eye to the leakage of other exercises.
What Li Xuangang practiced was a corpse refining spell from the Corpse Ghost Sect collected by his family, called the Five Metal Corpse Refining Technique.
What makes Li Xuangang hesitate now is that practicing this corpse refining spell will inevitably take up a lot of his cultivation resources. Although having a first-level corpse refining spell will greatly improve his ability to fight against other monks, it will inevitably
Affects your own cultivation speed.
After carefully weighing it, Li Xuangang considered that since he had already practiced this hardware corpse refining art before, and this time he got a walking corpse with acceptable qualifications by chance, if he didn't practice it,
Wouldn't it be a waste of this great opportunity?
And based on my current cultivation speed, I can successfully cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining before the age of eighty, so a slight delay is acceptable.
Having such a refined corpse will also greatly improve your strength. From now on, you can take on more family tasks such as hunting monsters in exchange for spiritual stones, and you can also reserve more resources for future foundation building.
After thinking about this, Li Xuangang was no longer confused and had a rough plan for his future cultivation.
But this is not a good time to practice the Hardware Corpse Refining Art. Not to mention that I don’t have the materials to transform the walking corpses, and I will leave to return to my family tomorrow. I don’t have enough time to practice the Hardware Corpse Refining Art. In the past,
I have only briefly dabbled in the Hardware Corpse Refining Art. Now that I have decided to practice this art, of course I have to study it carefully.
So, the next moment, Li Xuangang took the Nayin Gourd in his hand, activated the magic weapon, and took in the walking corpse next to him. Finally, Li Xuangang conveniently hung the Nayin Gourd on his waist like a storage bag.
You must not slack off in your cultivation. After Li Xuangang took care of the walking corpse, he sat cross-legged on the stone bed and started practicing quietly.
...
The next day, Li Xuangang left Xijincheng early in the morning and ran towards Taiqiu Mountain, where his family is located further east.
This time without the burden of a walking corpse, Li Xuangang was very fast and rushed back to Taiqiu Mountain nine days later.
Taiqiu Mountain is not a big mountain, but it is full of spiritual energy at a glance. There are various buildings on it, many low-level spiritual beasts jumping around, and there are spiritual fields and medicine gardens opened by the Li clan at regular intervals.
.So every time a mortal member of the Li family arrives here, they will be in a trance and think they are in a fairyland.
But in fact, there is only one second-level high-grade spiritual vein in the entire Taiqiu Mountain. Within the scope of the Corpse Ghost Sect, it is not a very outstanding spiritual vein. Many cultivation families have deeper foundations than the Li family, but this is already
It is the accumulation of hundreds of years and five generations of monks in the Li family.
There are more than 100 acres of spiritual fields at the foot of Taiqiu Mountain, all of which are cultivated in Linggu. When Li Xuangang passed by, he saw several tribesmen repairing and renovating them. After greeting them in a hurry, Li Xuangang went up to Taiqiu Mountain.
.
Spiritual grain is the most common spiritual grass. Compared with other spiritual grasses, it is easier to grow and consumes a lot of money. Therefore, the spiritual grains produced by the Li family every year will not only meet the consumption of their own family, but the rest will be used as food.
The goods are sold in exchange for spiritual stones or other resources used for cultivation.
In addition to selling in major markets, there are two most important sales channels.
One is a trade route opened every year in partnership with other families in Tianhefang City. Each time the merchants would transport many commodities, including Linggu, to Limeng Island in the East China Sea via treasure ships. The safety of the entire maritime trade route was
It is jointly maintained by several families.
The second is to transport goods to Wujiangfang City near the Hengduan Mountains. This is a city mainly populated by scattered cultivators and is located on the edge of the Wujiang River. Since most of the scattered cultivators do not have spiritual fields and do not have time to plant spiritual valleys, the Li family in Wujiang
Fangshi's earnings have been good.
Similarly, although there are spiritual fields in Limeng Island, they are not suitable for planting spiritual valleys, so the demand for spiritual valleys is equally huge, even greater than that in Wujiangfang City.
This trade route is so important, so every year the cultivation families in Tianhefang City, including the Li family, will be on standby, sending at least one of the family's foundation-building elders and many late-stage Qi-refining monks to escort them. For example, Li Xuangang's fourth uncle, Li Qingjing, often
Participate in the annual family caravan.
...
Li Xuangang first went to the Family Affairs Hall on the mountainside of Taiqiu to hand in the task, and released the walking corpse to prove that the task had been completed. Then he handed his identity token to the monk on duty here, and when he got it back,
There are twenty-five more contribution points in the token.
The person on duty in the Affairs Hall this time is Li Xuangang's sixth uncle, Li Changyan, who has an eighth level of Qi refining. He was seriously injured when he was young, and his cultivation aptitude is not very good, so there is basically no hope of building a foundation. He has been in the family for these years.
Take care of some chores.
"Sixth Uncle, that Xuan Gang has returned."
Li Changyan, the sixth eldest in the family, had turned all white, and he laughed and cursed: "Ha... Hurry up, you kid always likes to delay my leisure time."
Xuan Gang heard the affection in it and responded with a smile:
"Even if that doesn't work, I'm afraid I'll have to disturb you more in the future."
Li Xuangang's father was also a monk. When he was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, he encountered a group of rogue cultivators on the way to escort a caravan. After a period of fighting, although he and his tribe repelled the enemy, he himself was injured due to injuries.
It was so serious that he died before returning to his family.
I heard that my sixth uncle Li Changyan was also among them. Afterwards, Li Xuangang only saw his father's body and belongings.
As for Li Xuangang's mother, she was just a mortal. She died of dystocia when she gave birth to Li Xuangang, and she never even got a chance to see Li Xuangang.
Later, it was found that Li Xuangang had the qualifications to practice, so he followed his father to practice in his father's cave in Taiqiu Mountain since he was a child.
After his father's death, the family handed over his father's belongings to Li Xuangang, and Li Xuangang continued to live in the cave that should be taken back as a rule. The elders of the clan also took great care of Li Xuangang until today.
After bidding farewell to his sixth uncle Li Changyan, Li Xuangang came to his cave at the back of Mount Taiqiu.
After opening the protective circle of the cave, he took a brief look inside the cave. After finding nothing unusual, he fell down on his stone bed and fell asleep.
Although I did not encounter any danger during this trip, I was quite busy, so my body was a little tired.
This time Li Xuangang slept until the evening of the next day and then woke up leisurely.
The setting sun in the evening is reflected slantingly on Taiqiu Mountain, casting a layer of golden gauze.
Many members of the Li clan are working in the spiritual fields where the spiritual valleys are planted at the foot of Mount Taiqiu. Because the maturity of these spiritual valleys is not far away, the family attaches great importance to them. The clan leader and elders have issued many announcements within the family.
About the mission of Linggu at the foot of the mountain.
As for the main road leading to Taiqiu Mountain, monks from the Li family come and go from time to time. There is also a team of earth horses carrying a batch of goods back to the mountain.
After Li Xuangang woke up leisurely, he first opened a large wooden box in the cave, which contained some things in different categories, mainly spiritual grains and more than 400 spiritual stones, in addition to some other miscellaneous items.
.
Li Xuangang took a hundred spiritual stones into the storage bag and closed the box.
Walking to the corner of the cave, he surrounded a small area and set up a non-level spirit gathering array as his own medicine garden. Currently, there are only three plants named Zhu Dancao planted in it.
A first-class elixir, three bright red fruits hang precariously on it.
Li Xuangang observed it and found that the maturity of Zhu Dancao should not be far away.
Since the second-level high-grade spiritual veins on Taiqiu Mountain are used to maintain the cultivation of the monks in the family and ensure that the spiritual energy of the spiritual field is not reduced, the family has reached its limit, so the family does not allow the clan members to use the advanced spirit gathering array on Taiqiu Mountain to avoid harming the spirits.
The pulse causes losses.
Even in order to relieve the pressure on the second-level spiritual veins of Taiqiu Mountain, the two foundation-building elders and dozens of Qi-refining period clan members usually sit in various industries outside the family, such as those belonging to the family in various Dafang cities.
shop. They usually only return to Taiqiu Mountain to draw on their family’s spiritual veins at critical moments in their cultivation.
While more than three hundred monks of the Li family were busy in the huge organization of the family, Li Xuangang stayed in his cave, took out the Hardware Corpse Refining Art, and began to study it carefully.
...
At this time, in an ordinary cave at the top of Taiqiu Mountain, an old man with graying temples was listening to the middle-aged man in front of him.
This person is none other than Li Changqing, the current patriarch of the Li family. He has cultivated in the late stage of foundation building and is the protector of the entire Li family in Taiqiu.
The middle-aged man said excitedly:
"Fifth Uncle, this is an excellent opportunity for you to advance to the realm of foundation-building perfection. It is also an opportunity for our Li family. We must fight for it."
