Chapter 510 Preparation (1) (Please subscribe, please collect)
"It's the Silver Jade Soul Silkworm. Have other fellow Taoists returned successfully?"
After confirming that it was correct, Sun Mingsheng asked subconsciously, but after seeing the expressionless waiter, he stopped asking further.
"The transaction between us has been completed. Please return the jade token, senior. There will be no relationship between you and me in the future."
The man in the Qi refining stage obviously looked well-informed, and was not at all afraid of Sun Mingsheng's ninth-level cultivation.
"Of course I don't want to have any other contact with you in the future. From now on, we will say goodbye."
In fact, Sun Mingsheng was happy to see the other party's attitude come to fruition. As long as the contact between the two was completely severed this time, there would be no risk of other unexpected changes happening in the future.
Of course, the life, death and whereabouts of other monks were not revealed at all, which actually made him feel more at ease.
As for the tracking from the Qingxiao Sect, the moment they left the Far North Icefield, they no longer had any worries, and as time passed, this few remaining worries would completely disappear.
Sun Mingsheng's biggest problem at present is how to find a suitable spiritual place to provide some assistance for the subsequent condensation of the golden elixir.
The location of this retreat should be within the Kingdom of Shen. As a casual cultivator, one can imagine how difficult it is to condense the golden elixir.
Because Shen State is close to the Arctic Icefield, various spiritual mountains and spiritual creatures are naturally relatively abundant. However, the number of places with spiritual veins is still limited, with more wolves and less meat.
However, during the process of condensing the golden elixir, a huge amount of spiritual power will be consumed, and ordinary spiritual veins cannot meet the demand.
After sufficient collection, Sun Mingsheng now has a total of four kinds of spiritual objects that assist in condensing golden elixirs, including the second-level high-grade snake dragon essence and blood that can strengthen the body and replenish essence and blood, the pure body spirit water that can expel impurities in the body, and the most powerful. The important Silver Jade Soul Silkworm and the Alchemy Fruit obtained from the spiritual realm that appeared on the border of Song Dynasty.
The first two have extremely limited effects and can only be the icing on the cake. The Silver Jade Soul Silkworm targets the fusion of monk soul and mana, which can roughly increase the success rate by about 20%. The Danyuan Fruit targets the Dantian. The solidification of liquid mana can increase the success rate by about 15%.
Compared with the foundation building stage, the reason why the golden elixir stage can achieve a qualitative leap in longevity and combat effectiveness is precisely because the condensed golden elixir is not only a dual fusion of mana and spiritual consciousness.
Based on Sun Mingsheng's three spiritual root cultivation qualifications and relatively solid cultivation foundation, as long as he finds a suitable spiritual land, the success rate of condensation should be more than 30%, which is already a big deal for most monks. Small chance.
Especially for some casual cultivators who lack spiritual objects, usually when trying to condense golden elixirs, the success rate will not exceed about 10%.
"There are usually caves for rent in major cities. In some larger cities, there are Jindan monks stationed there, so your own safety is not in danger."
Sun Mingsheng did not know enough about Shen Guo, so he could only choose a relatively safe and secretive location. As for some potential dangers, under the current situation, he could only choose the lesser of two evils.
It's just that not every city can meet the demand for condensed golden elixir, so he must select one by one.
In addition, although there are many shops for rent in each market, there are not many high-quality caves with abundant spiritual power. Some of them even specifically stipulate that only Jindan monks can rent them.
The rental price of a high-level cave is not a small amount, especially since this retreat is to condense the golden elixir. It is extremely normal for it to last for at least ten years and for as long as thirty or fifty years. This also requires him to make a sum of money in advance. Expensive spiritual stone.
It was only on the third day after Sun Mingsheng successfully exchanged the silver jade soul silkworms, and after inspecting the leasing situation of two caves in different cities, that he received the belated wanted document from the Qingxiao Sect.
It's a pity that things have come to this point. The five people who participated in hunting down the monks of Qingxiao Sect had already achieved their goal and changed their appearance and hid in different locations. After all their efforts, they were destined to return without success.
Whenever he arrives at a city, Sun Mingsheng, in addition to inspecting the basic conditions of the rented cave, will also sell all the remaining items in the storage bag, except for necessary spiritual weapons and other items, and collect as many as possible. Spiritual stones to meet current needs.
In Sun Mingsheng's busy life, time passed quickly. He observed the high-quality caves that could be rented for a long time in the city one by one, but he never found a satisfactory one. Along the way, he encountered the one with the highest quality. It was only equivalent to a second-order high-grade spiritual vein, and there was still a certain gap between it and his needs.
"Every cave has a third-level spiritual cave for rent, but these high-quality caves have obvious requirements for the cultivation of the renters, at least Golden Core monks."
Half a year passed by in a flash, and he had already visited more than ten large and small markets. However, he couldn't help but frown at the dilemma he was currently facing. He couldn't solve it with his current cultivation level.
"You can't catch tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den. It seems that you can only venture into the city that belongs to the Qingxiao sect. According to some local monks, this city is located on a third-level middle-grade spiritual mountain. If you are lucky, there will be It is possible to rent to a third-level cave.”
At this time, it had been almost a year since Sun Mingsheng had hunted down the monks of the Qingxiao Sect, and the killing orders from the Qingxiao Sect were loud and clear. After all, there were more than 10,000 inner and outer disciples of the Qingxiao Sect, and every year due to various levels, There are also many monks who died in battles.
The eight monks who died on the far north ice sheet, except for the two Golden Core Stage monks, the other Foundation Establishment Stage monks would not take it seriously to the huge Qingxiao Sect.
"This matter ended so easily. In all likelihood, the people who hired us were the internal monks of the Qingxiao Sect."
This is his most confident intuitive feeling at this moment after experiencing it personally for a period of time, and it is also the fundamental reason why he dares to go to Fangshi under the management of Qingxiao Sect for retreat practice.
"Qingxiaofang City, I hope you won't be disappointed here."
Half a month later, Sun Mingsheng looked up at a plaque engraved with four characters, his eyes filled with expectations for the future after condensing the golden elixir.
He saw that he no longer hesitated and stepped forward. There was only a bronze mirror-like magic weapon above the entrance to the market here. It was mainly used to prevent some monsters who knew special changes from entering.
Along the way, without any delay, Sun Mingsheng went straight to the location specializing in cave rental near Lingshan Mountain in the southwest corner of Fang City.
"Fellow Taoist, are you here to rent a cave? I don't know what level of cave you plan to rent? How long is the lease period?"
As soon as Fang entered, a monk in the early stage of foundation building came forward enthusiastically.
"How much is the rental price of Friends Cave Mansion?"
