Chapter 10 The Four Arts of Immortality
150 points of essence!
Yu Changsheng was shocked by the amount.
In the past, the essence he got from feeding was only 1 point, but he didn't expect that this essence could be improved in quality!
This also gave him a lot of peace of mind. Otherwise, as his skills continue to improve, more and more essences will be needed, and 135 spiritual chickens will not be enough for him. He can't open a chicken farm by himself in the future.
"These three hundred spirit coins are well spent."
Yu Changsheng sighed. This time he happened to meet a casual cultivator who took apart the corpses of monsters and sold them. He might not be so lucky next time.
And for the subsequent fusion, he also needs to pay attention to planning the route of the Red Snake King, otherwise he will merge into four different shapes, or absorb a bunch of useless shortcomings and abilities, which will make him cry without tears.
The Red Snake King is very excited now that he has gained a new ability. At the same time, the digested corpse of the poisonous spirit python has increased his demonic power, which is not far from the first level and fifth level.
In contrast, Yu Changsheng's realm is still at the same level.
"Manager Chang will be here tomorrow. The Spirit-Enhancing Pill can help me improve my cultivation to some extent." Yu Changsheng thought in his heart.
"Money, after all, I am still too short of money. I want to buy a broken magic weapon for this gathering, but the spiritual coins I have are not enough after a little use."
"I have to think of a way to make money."
Among the four skills of cultivating immortals, the only one that he has come across that can make money is spiritual planting. This was learned when he joined the sect as a handyman, and is paired with the rain technique to take care of the spiritual field.
For example, some veterans among the sect's handymen and experienced spiritual planters, in addition to taking care of the spiritual fields entrusted by the sect, can also rent additional spiritual fields, with an annual income of 73%, sect seven.
Even so, spiritual planters can earn a lot of spiritual stones by selling spiritual rice, and those with rich assets can even grow first-level elixirs themselves.
It's just that this profession is a bit troublesome for Yu Changsheng. The work is too complicated, and he has to weed, kill insects, and guard the harvest. He didn't become a cultivator just to farm!
Moreover, it is best for a spiritual planter to have water and wood spiritual roots. Although Yu Changsheng has wood spiritual roots, he does not have water.
This also makes it much more difficult for him to perform the rain technique.
"The experience of spiritual planting can be improved by adding points. The second-level spiritual planting only has 995 points, but it is not suitable for me anyway, and the cycle is too long."
"In that case, the only option is to make alchemy!"
Pill, weapon, array, talisman.
The four arts of cultivating immortality, the first of which is alchemy, are just for making money!
Whether it is the lowest level Bigu Pill or the somewhat advanced Qi Restoration Pill, they are consumables that are in short supply among Qi Refining monks. As long as they are refined and eaten, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them.
Yu Changsheng has fire and wood spiritual roots and can make elixirs.
It's just that this alchemy requires first the method, the second the elixir, and the third the elixir. Even if you have a system to add some experience to improve it, you still need start-up funds.
"If you go to casual cultivators to buy an alchemy book, the price will be much cheaper, but their alchemy techniques generally have low elixir yield rates. It's better to spend more spiritual stones and go to the sect's alchemy hall to learn, at least you won't go astray."
Yu Changsheng calculated that he had to go to the alchemy hall to learn at least three to four hundred low-grade spiritual stones, and the elixirs needed for practice were even more expensive.
"There is nothing you can do, just write a letter home."
Yu Changsheng sighed, thinking of his cheap dad.
Although the Yu family is just a small Qi-refining family in Haoyue City, they also run various businesses and earn a lot of silver and spiritual stones every year.
However, the family does not belong to him alone. Even if his father is the patriarch, he has to take care of all aspects. When he insisted on joining the Wanxiang Sect, he made many uncles and uncles in the clan unhappy.
So he didn't ask his family to support hundreds of spiritual stones, that was unrealistic.
I just hope it can make me less stressed,
Otherwise, for a monthly salary of four yuan of low-grade spiritual stones, he would have to work for ten years before he could afford to learn authentic alchemy.
"If it doesn't work, just learn alchemy as a casual cultivator first, and then switch to another cultivator after making some money." Yu Changsheng thought to himself.
In fact, many cash-strapped disciples use this method, but it will be more strenuous in the end and some habits cannot be changed. The final alchemy rate is much lower than that of alchemists of the same level.
If you can learn authentic alchemy, it would be best to learn the authentic one.
After sending a letter to his family, he went to Lingji Garden as usual the next day.
"I will transform you today."
Yu Changsheng knelt down and touched the head of the most ferocious spiritual chicken with his palm.
【Spiritual Beast Transformation】
[Ordinary Spirit Chicken → Spirit Chicken King]
[Essence required: 310]
The amount of essence required is less than half of what it was a month ago.
This small part is the result of Yu Changsheng's gradual feeding. If he did not use the system to transform, it would take at least a month to naturally grow into the Spirit Chicken King.
But Chang Guangshi only gave him a month, and he had to produce results.
"Transformation!" Yu Changsheng had an idea.
The rooster under his palm suddenly trembled, raised its head like a wolf, and crowed loudly toward the sky.
In the process of crowing, the body of the spiritual rooster lifted up by tens of centimeters, its feathers changed from the original earthy yellow to fiery red, and the comb became golden red.
[Name]: Lingji King
[Realm]: First level and fourth level
[Comprehension]: 5
[Current status]: Excited
It succeeded without any surprise.
Yu Changsheng retracted his palm. The Lingji King was already the complete body of the Lingji chicken race and could not undergo further transformation unless it was given a blood-devouring bloodline.
"Steward Chang should be here soon. Let's feed the other spiritual chickens first."
Yu Changsheng picked up the dumbfounded Spirit Chicken King, placed it next to him, and then filled a small basin with a bowl of Spirit Rice to feed him.
The realm of the Spirit Chicken King is not bad, but these spirit chickens are all for blood food, and their understanding is generally low. Yu Changsheng has no intention of cultivating them.
As soon as the feeding was over, Manager Chang's laughter came from outside the garden.
"This spiritual chicken is really fat!"
When he walked to the chicken garden and saw the Chicken King squatting in the corner, he suddenly shouted with surprise on his face: "The Chicken King!"
"Hahaha, I really saw you right, well done, well raised!"
Manager Chang was overjoyed and patted Yu Changsheng.
Before, he was just treating a dead horse as a live doctor and letting the other party try it. He didn't really think that Yu Changsheng could feed the Spirit Chicken King.
The handyman disciple had been feeding them for so long before, and if he was lucky, he would only get two or three a year. It was really difficult for Yu Changsheng to raise one in a month.
He was even prepared to be scolded by Uncle Han, as long as the other spiritual chickens were fatter, he didn't expect to actually raise a spiritual chicken king!
"Okay, okay, this is the spiritual enhancement pill I promised you. I will reward you with two pills to reward you for your hard work during this period of time!"
Steward Chang took out two bottles of Spirit-enhancing Pills and handed them to Yu Changsheng with a smile, feeling lucky that he had kicked Huang Li away and left this handyman disciple behind.
"Thank you very much, Manager Chang." Yu Changsheng took a look at the elixir and saw that it was in good quality. The two elixir patterns were not made by casual cultivators, but were produced by the sect's elixir hall.
The better the appearance and the more red lines, the better the effect will naturally be.
Foundation-building pills with three lines of pill pattern are all expensive and unmarketable, and pills with five or more lines of pill pattern are rare to find in a hundred years.
