Chapter 53: Different Paths
In Duobao Tower, after Lin Shiming handed over the spirit stones, he carefully covered the ironwood thorn with the jade box again, and then walked to the spirit pill counter where Lin Shijie was.
The latter was buying magic tools at the moment and also handed over the spirit stones.
It was a set of top-grade magic swords, a total of four, which could form a small sword formation with extraordinary power.
Coupled with his Lihuo Sword, his swordsmanship strength was once again on the next level.
You should know that it is not easy to find a matching magic sword that can form a small sword formation. This is still a top-grade matching magic sword. It performs well, but it is not much worse than the top-grade magic sword, which is enough to show the extraordinaryness of this Duobao Tower.
After collecting the treasures, the two looked at the spirit pill counter together.
The spirit pill counter was also a female cultivator, who smiled as soon as she saw the two.
"What kind of elixir do you two want to know?"
"What kind of elixir can help you improve your Qi training?" Lin Shiming is now in the late stage of Qi training, and what he needs at the moment are elixirs that can speed up your training. As for healing elixirs, he has the monkey wine passed down from his family, but he doesn't need them.
But there is one thing that puzzles him. Lin Shijie seems to want to buy elixirs as well.
Lin Shijie is not only the second spiritual root genius of the family, but also the grandson of the second elder Lin Yuqi, a second-level top-grade alchemist. He is actually short of elixirs for training.
"Our store has two kinds of Qingling Dan and Ningyuan Dan!"
"Qingling Dan is slightly less effective, but it is gentler. It is suitable for cultivators who have just entered the late stage of Qi training. It costs 800 spirit stones per bottle. Ningyuan Dan has a better effect and more spiritual energy. It is more suitable for cultivators at the eighth and ninth levels of Qi training. It costs 1,200 spirit stones per bottle!"
The female cultivator took out two jade bottles, placed them in front of the two and introduced them one by one. Finally, she opened the bottle stoppers and asked the two to check them.
In the end, Lin Shiming spent the last of his spiritual stones to buy a bottle of Qingling Pill, while Lin Shijie bought a bottle of Ningyuan Pill.
After coming out of Duobao Tower, the two began to return to Laiyue Tower.
Most of the spiritual stones had been spent, and there was no point in continuing to stroll.
Back to his residence, Lin Shijie began to ask Lin Shiming for the key to hatching spirit beast eggs.
Lin Shiming also told him everything he knew, and he was particularly careful about the arrangement of the soul formation.
Before leaving, Lin Shiming looked at the elder brother in front of him who had taken good care of him since he was a child.
From the outline of the thin figure, the shadow of the second elder Lin Yuqi could be vaguely seen.
Inexplicably, he thought of the old man who dedicated his life to alchemy, and the latter's desire to train a family alchemist.
And you have to know that Lin Shijie also has the dual spiritual roots of fire and wood, and is also the most suitable for alchemy!
The rumors about the discord between the second elder and Lin Shijie in the family, as well as the scene of Lin Shijie buying pills, also emerged one by one.
After hesitating for a long time, he still asked Lin Shijie.
"Brother, why are you and the second grandfather?"
Lin Shijie's body obviously paused, then turned his head, and there seemed to be a scene replaying in his eyes.
Finally, he shook his head, looked at the endless blue sky outside the window, and replied.
"Different ways, he wants to prove that the family needs a third-level alchemist, and I think the family needs a stronger strong man!"
"You should also know that the family is in crisis."
"If Qi training can't save the family, then I will build a foundation!"
"Building a foundation can't save the family, then I will be a purple mansion!"
"Purple mansion can't save the family!"
"Then I will be a golden elixir!"
After a series of sonorous and powerful words fell, Lin Shijie left.
Lin Shiming finally felt relieved on the spot.
For the family, both are right.
The family needs strong people, and also needs a third-level alchemist, or even a fourth-level alchemist.
Before, he thought there was a gap, so he was afraid that the second grandfather Lin Yuqi would be disappointed. After all, Lin Shijie should be his pride.
After this matter was settled, Lin Shiming took out the seeds of the ironwood thorn. In Duobao Tower, he could not do too many experiments.
Now that he was back in his room in Laiyue Tower, he took out the seeds and carefully sensed them in his hands.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Lin Shiming put away the ironwood thorn seeds with satisfaction.
According to his estimation, he used the spiritual energy of the Purple Wood Heart Sutra to cultivate the ironwood thorn seeds. It would take ten years for the ironwood thorn seeds to mature, but it could be shortened to five years, and then he would be able to harvest the first batch of ironwood thorn seeds.
Ironwood thorns could not be tested against enemies like the highly toxic snake vine flower. After all, this seed was different from the snake vine flower and could not be recycled. After catalysis, the function of the seeds was also destroyed, and the spiritual energy dissipated and turned into waste seeds.
Counting the ones used for planting, he could only catalyze the battle with nine seeds.
Thinking of this, he was actually very interested in the structure of the snake vine flower seeds and the method of depicting the spiritual array, which almost refined the seeds into a semi-spiritual weapon.
But after thinking about it, he gave up. Refining tools is as profound as refining pills. It is not something that can be mastered overnight. Even a genius with two spiritual roots like Lin Shitao needs to learn the principles of pills and the way of pills from an early age, and then practice repeatedly.
And this will also consume most of her time. If it is not for the qualifications of two spiritual roots, it may even affect her best age for foundation building.
Lin Shiming actually has similar ideas to Lin Shijie. When the foundation is built, or even the purple mansion, the life span will be long, and naturally there will be time to learn and master refining pills and tools.
In the Qi training period, the family's weapon refiners, alchemists, and formation masters are enough to support his daily practice.
He dare not gamble that he can spend a lot of time on skills. Can he still reach the peak of the ninth level of Qi training before the age of sixty and leave enough time to obtain the foundation building pill.
Lin Shiming shook his head and stopped thinking about other things. Then he released the three spirit beasts with violent emotional fluctuations in the spirit beast bag as usual, feeding them and feeding them with animal nurturing pills.
After dealing with it, he started his daily practice.
Ten days passed quietly. Lin Shiming opened his eyes and felt that the spiritual power in his body had improved a bit compared to before, and he couldn't help but be extremely satisfied.
The Purple Wood Heart Sutra is indeed a high-grade Xuan-level technique, and its effects are far from comparable to those of the previous Aoki Jue.
At this time, a spiritual light flew out from the side and landed in Lin Shiming's hand. It was a sound transmission talisman.
"Shi Ming, gather downstairs and leave for the auction house!"
Lin Shiming didn't waste any time and strode downstairs. At this time, the other elders had already arrived.
Lin Xianzhi led people towards the Qingxuan Auction House, the largest auction house in Qingxuan City.
The crowd today was even more crowded than usual. Many strong casual cultivators and foundation-building families rushed to the auction house together. Therefore, there were many more foundation-building cultivators who were rarely seen in normal times.
The lifespan of a foundation-building monk is two hundred and fifty years, and most of the foundation-building monks know each other.
The foundation-building monks from both sides of the familiar families would nod in greeting, while the hostile families would look at each other with cold eyes.
The Lin family also has a few families they want to consider, but none of them are adjacent to the Lin family. Now that they met, they also exchanged greetings, and then rushed to the auction house together.
Finally, everyone stopped at a three-story palace built entirely of green granite. The style of the palace was very majestic, with all kinds of decorative carvings and paintings vividly displayed. On the top, there were three large characters of Qingxuan Auction House. There was an inexplicable spiritual pressure.
