Chapter 150: Qi Refining Level 4
Qi Huaishan followed Gu Luosheng to set up a stall for a week.
He was naturally surprised to find that the income from the Donglai Yongquan Cave was not much.
It seemed that one trip could only earn 200 spiritual stones, but in fact it had accumulated for ten years and the cost was huge.
Yongquan Cave has been breeding yellow jade spirit insects, moon spirit wolves, and silver silk spirit chickens on a large scale.
Counting the ten acres of spiritual fields, all the spiritual energy in Yongquan Cave has been used to the limit.
That time they cultivated a total of ninety yellow jade spirit insects with ten years of cultivation.
The cost was nineteen spiritual stones per piece, which was lower than before.
One cycle was three to four years.
If five pieces were sold tomorrow, they could only make 30 spiritual stones.
The remaining four pieces were actually lost because they wanted to cultivate fast-moving spirit butterflies.
Although according to the master, the demand for continuous upgrading can reduce the cost of cultivating yellow jade spirit insects, in reality, it is not actively burning money. If there is a good result, it is very good. If there is no result, decades of accumulation may be lost in one day.
After all, the species they improved only had a few yellow jade spirit insects. If they died unexpectedly, they would have nowhere to cry.
It was for this reason that although Gu Luosheng cultivated fewer spirit insects that time, he kept four yellow jade spirit insects to transform into butterflies to avoid any accidents.
At the same time, he would seal the insect eggs of each generation to keep the data of the updated generation.
This undoubtedly also requires the consumption of spirit stones.
All in all, even the research on the yellow jade spirit insect requires a lot of financial support.
Fortunately, Gu Luosheng accidentally got 3,000 kilograms of spirit rice, so he didn't have to spend much effort on the food of the yellow jade spirit insect.
Otherwise, he would have to go to Lingcheng to purchase spirit rice every time, and the cost would increase greatly.
Qi Huaishan was so happy.
The situation of Yongquan Cave was not good at all, and it could not rely on the master's own financial and ability support.
For example, Master has both water and wood spiritual roots, and can use the Spirit Rain Technique, Catalysis Technique, and Butterfly Transformation Technique, and has cultivated them to the second level, but he and Le Zhi have one earth spiritual root and one water spiritual root, and they are obviously not good at that.
Should Le Zhi give up combat techniques and learn the Spirit Rain Technique?
No way.
Yongquan Cave needs a master in combat.
Although Qi Huaishan does not know the saying "neighbors store guns and he stores grain, his family has a granary".
But he is not stupid, nor naive.
"It seems that I have to study the Soul Solidification Technique more seriously after returning, and upgrade the spiritual field to the first grade as soon as possible..."
Qi Huaishan decided secretly.
As a cultivator with earth spiritual roots, he also has his own skills, such as improving soil fertility and accelerating the growth of spiritual plants like cultivators with gold spiritual roots.
The most basic technique is the Soul Solidification Technique, which allows the soil to retain more spiritual power and upgrade the quality.
The higher the quality, the better the effect of the Soul Rain Technique will be, which is a positive cycle.
The cycle of Bu Luo has its limit, and Yongquan Cave can only maintain a first-grade spiritual field at most.
Now it takes about eight or nine years for spiritual rice to grow once.
To officially upgrade to a first-grade spiritual field, that number can be reduced to five years, and then the income from the spiritual field can be doubled, which is also a good growth point.
After closing the stall, Gu Luosheng and Qi Huaishan went to the Lingdi Division and renewed the fee for another twenty years.
When Bu Luo Gu Luosheng left, he happened to see a familiar figure.
That was a woman who looked to be in her thirties or forties, with long hair and a very dignified manner.
If Gu Luosheng remembered correctly, it was the receptionist he met in Yunlian.
Her name was Si Yueyi, and I didn't know what her background was. If I saw her clearly, she seemed to have one or two levels of cultivation.
The girl was very nice and had introduced him to the basic information of the spiritual land and spiritual veins.
Gu Luosheng wanted to say hello in front, but saw that the girl politely rejected a male cultivator and left in a bad mood.
Seeing this, he shook his head as if sighing, and did not go to touch the bad luck again.
"Human, oh, so insignificant in front of time."
...
Gu Luosheng returned to Yongquan Cave.
As soon as he arrived, Le Zhi came out with Meng Shi and others to greet him with a look of surprise: "Master, we are back!"
Seeing everyone so happy, Gu Luosheng knew that nothing had happened.
He nodded: "Mingyue, kill a silver silk spirit chicken, have a big meal, and celebrate!"
"Really? Long live the master!" Everyone cheered immediately.
In fact, all kinds of resources in Yongquan Cave are very scarce. Silver silk spirit chickens, which are not very useful for cultivation, are often sold. How can they be eaten so luxuriously?
"Can you fool us? Meng Shan, I am the best at leg skills, so I will leave the cooking to you." Gu Luosheng smiled.
"Master, he will prepare it immediately, and it will definitely be delicious!" Meng Shan said enthusiastically.
Although the silver-threaded spiritual chicken is a demon beast, it has very little demonic energy and is closer to spiritual energy, so it only needs to be boiled with a small amount of medicine to be safe to eat, without refining the spiritual blood it possesses.
It is the most common spiritual meat in Lingcheng. It is said that if you live outside the city and cannot afford to eat the silver-threaded spiritual chicken, you will be laughed at...
It is a bit abstract, but understandable.
…
Everyone had a delicious meal, and their tongues were all drooling.
The taste of the silver-threaded spiritual chicken is indeed incomparable to ordinary things. It is so delicious that it makes you feel like you are floating in the air. Not only does it taste great, but the physical sensation is also very amazing. No wonder it is popular in Cuiyu Night City.
Afterwards, Gu Luosheng pointed out some doubts about the cultivation of several disciples, and then everyone returned to their daily lives.
Cultivating, farming, practicing magic, and confinement are quite leisurely.
Even during this period, Meng Shan and Lan Zhizheng had the intention to fight each other, but Gu Luosheng did not stop them and let it go.
Later, the two got married under Gu Luosheng's auspices and gave birth to a child a few years later.
According to the test, the child did not have spiritual roots and would be a mortal in the future.
Meng Shan and Lan Zhizheng thought about it and decided not to have a second child and return to Wuguo to live an ordinary life. This matter caused many disciples to quarrel.
Because Le Zhi and Qi Huaishan did not want the two to leave, the two thought that Le Zhi and Qi Huaishan did not want to lose their legs, so some accumulated conflicts broke out.
Gu Luosheng did not care, so he agreed to the two to leave, and asked them to go back to manage the Wuguo organization and bring back two talented children to fill the vacancies of the two of them.
The two naturally agreed.
Because of this matter, Gu Luosheng set the rules of Yongquan Cave to prevent the disciples from quarreling.
First of all, Yongquan Cave can have a cave master.
The cave master can accept disciples, but they will be divided into formal disciples and registered disciples.
Formal disciples are responsible for cultivation and protecting Yongquan Cave.
Registered disciples are responsible for management and obtaining resources.
If the registered disciples perform well, they can be promoted to formal disciples.
In addition, if the registered disciples get married and have children, they can leave Yongquan Cave if the children are not mortals.
If you have spiritual roots and want to stay in Yongquan Cave, you need to make a certain contribution as a fee for the use of spiritual energy.
Then there is a contribution point system. There was no such thing before, because there were too few people, and Gu Luosheng was really not interested in wasting time.
But now there seems to be some problems, so he decided that whether he farms or does anything else, he just wants to do well, and there will be contribution points to be obtained, which can be used to exchange for spiritual rice and spiritual stones and other resources.
Compared with the past, there was a basic guarantee before, but the total number would not change.
Now you can increase the things you get through hard work, which is also an accumulation.
Time flies, and the fifth year from the day he came back soon arrived.
In those years, Gu Luosheng not only witnessed the marriage and departure of two disciples, but also heard that Jiang Dongyun had established his foundation seven years ago and became a famous figure in Longhu Cave.
Although the two of them were just casual friends, although they had established their foundation early, they did not specifically inform him of anything, and they would probably not have any intersection in the future.
"Huh..."
"The fourth level of Qi Refining, finally done!"
Gu Luosheng exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the star map outside his body already had four layers.
Unlike the past, the first three layers have been inexplicably connected, as if the pressure of the fourth level star map has merged into a whole, and the quality of spiritual power has greatly increased.
At the third level of Qi Refining, Gu Luosheng's spiritual power quality is about 14, and the spiritual power quality increases by 10% for every three spiritual points.
At the fourth level of Qi Refining, there are seven spiritual points, and the spiritual power quality increases by 20% for every three spiritual points.
The improvement is based on the initial strength, 10% means one point of spiritual power quality, and 20% means 2 points.
Therefore, the current quality of Gu Luosheng's spiritual power is about 18 or 19. It seems ordinary, but in fact the suppression power is amazing. Under normal circumstances, the disadvantage of a cultivator in a lower realm is not very big. If the quality of the spiritual power of the fused spiritual roots could not be directly increased tenfold, he would have died in the first wave of attacks by the trio.
