Chapter 9 Earth Spirit Eye
This man is called Liu Zhaoxing, and he is the grandfather of Liu Yuanchen.
There are only four or five people of their generation left, and the youngest is already over eighty years old.
Each of them has the eighth or ninth level of cultivation, which is the bottom strength of the Liu family.
They usually stay in the ancestral land, or study the hundred arts of cultivation, or teach the younger generation, and do not go out easily.
Once there is a problem in a certain industry, they will leave the ancestral land and go to solve the problem.
As the second largest industry of the Liu family, Yanze is naturally not a trivial matter when it encounters the threat of the red sand wolf.
It is normal to send the old generation of cultivators to take action.
Liu Yuanchen bowed and said: "Don't worry, Uncle Jiu, the wolf king is still within my sensing range."
Liu Zhaoxing nodded with satisfaction: "Lead the way, if you can really wipe out the red sand wolf pack, I will personally ask for a reward for you.
If you are lucky, you may be able to catch a few wolf cubs."
If you can catch the monster cubs and train them from a young age, you can raise them into human spirit beasts.
Although the red sand wolf is not suitable for use as a pack animal, it is still very capable of patrolling and defending against monsters.
Whether it is sold or kept at home, it is a good choice.
Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen followed the induction of the green silk vine seedling and chased in the southwest direction.
Although the wolf king was slightly injured in the siege, his speed was still not slow.
Liu Yuanchen used his full strength to perform the wood shadow escape to barely keep up.
The four of them chased from midnight to the dawn in the east, running for nearly two hundred miles, and the wolf king finally stopped moving.
Liu Yuanchen panted: "Uncle Jiu, that... that wolf king stopped moving, maybe... maybe it has reached the wolf cave."
Liu Zhaoxing thought without hesitation: "Then it's safer, let's be quiet and move slowly."
At this time, they were on a Gobi desert, and there was no grass or trees in the field of vision.
There were only pieces of boulders scattered on the wasteland for everyone to hide.
The four people restrained their breath and moved forward slowly under the cover of the boulders.
Soon, the figure of the wolf king appeared in front of everyone.
The wolf king was standing in front of a pile of rocks, looking around vigilantly.
His dark red long hair blended perfectly with the red desert.
If you don't observe carefully, it is difficult to find the figure of the wolf king among the rocks.
The pile of rocks was piled together by several boulders, leaving a lot of gaps in the middle.
After dozens of breaths, the wolf king got into the gap between the rocks, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Zhaoxing's face was full of joy: "This should be the wolf's den.
This beast is smart. It traveled two hundred miles to Yanze to attack. No wonder we haven't been able to find the wolf's den."
"Looking at the vigilant look of the wolf king, this wolf's den should not be temporary. There may be water sources or even spiritual veins in it.
Of the red sand wolves that attacked Yanze last night, only the wolf king escaped.
Now in the wolf's den, except for the wolf king, there should be old, weak and disabled people."
"I used my spiritual sense to explore. There are three forks in the pile of rocks that can accommodate an adult wolf.
You three block the forks to prevent the wolf king from escaping.
I will go down and kill the wolf king myself."
Liu Yuanchen and the other three took the order and took the lead to touch the pile of rocks and guard the forks.
Liu Zhaoxing held a long sword with a gleaming silver light in his hand and walked straight into a fork.
Dang~~
After a while, the sound of metal clashing and the screams of the wolf king came from the cave.
After more than ten breaths, Liu Zhaoxing's voice came from the cave: "Come in, the wolf king has been killed by me."
Liu Yuanchen entered the center of the pile of rocks and saw a stone cave slanting downwards.
He walked down the stone cave for more than twenty feet and came to a stone chamber.
This stone chamber is not isolated, there are three other stone chambers nearby.
The stone chamber connected to the stone cave is the largest, ten feet square.
The wolf king I saw before was lying in a pool of blood in the corner of the stone chamber, and there was another adult female wolf's body next to him.
At this time, there were two living wolf cubs, roaring at Liu Yuanchen and others.
Liu Zhaoxing looked at the wolf cubs: "These two wolf cubs are only one or two months old, and they can still be raised.
If you take them to Qinghe Town to sell, they should be worth thirty or fifty spirit stones."
In the center of the large stone chamber is a small pool with a diameter of more than one foot, and bubbles are still coming out at this moment.
Obviously, this is a spring.
The spring water contains water spirit.
The concentration of this water spirit is not low, enough to be a first-grade top grade.
There are actually six ginseng plants in the cracks of the rocks beside the spring.
The highest grade one is still the first-grade upper grade, and the other five are the first-grade middle grade.
Liu Yuanchen sensed the vitality of these six spiritual ginsengs, and there was nothing strange about five of them.
On the contrary, the smallest one of the first-grade middle-grade spiritual ginseng had extremely strong vitality.
Moreover, inside this spiritual ginseng, there is a place where vitality gathers, as if something is gestating.
If you just use your spiritual sense to check, you can't see anything abnormal.
He secretly made up his mind to find a way to get this special spiritual ginseng.
Liu Zhaoxing walked to the edge of the pool and scooped up some spring water with his hand.
He sniffed it, took a sip, and spit it out immediately.
Then a smile appeared on his face: "We are really lucky. We actually found a ground vein spiritual eye."
Liu Yuanchen was a little puzzled: "Uncle Jiu, I have only heard that spiritual veins have spiritual pivots, but I have never heard of ground vein spiritual eyes."
Liu Zhaoxing smiled and said, "Not many people know about the concept of the earth vein spirit eye. I also saw it in an ancient book.
The earth vein spirit eye is similar to the spirit vein spirit pivot, both of which can spew out spiritual energy.
To talk about the difference between the spirit eye and the spirit pivot, we must first know the difference between the earth vein and the spirit vein."
"Yuanchen, you have been studying in the Qingdan Sect for seven or eight years. Do you know the difference between the two?"
Liu Yuanchen bowed and said, "In reply to Uncle Jiu, grandson knows.
The earth vein is the channel for the flow of energy under the earth, and the energy contained in it is extremely complex.
There are various energies such as spiritual energy, evil energy, yin energy, yang energy, etc., collectively referred to as the earth vein evil energy.
This earth vein evil energy is extremely domineering, even the most ferocious monsters dare not refine it directly.
If a human cultivator refines the earth vein evil energy, he will go crazy at best, or die at worst."
"The spirit vein is a branch of the earth vein, and the spiritual energy in it is relatively pure. Human cultivators can also easily Refining.
All the medium and large spiritual veins, the spiritual energy in them comes from the ground veins.
As for how the evil spirit in the ground veins turns into the spiritual energy in the spiritual veins, my grandson doesn't know. "
Liu Zhaoxing stroked his long beard and nodded with satisfaction: "Well said, this is exactly the difference between the spiritual vein and the ground vein.
This ground vein spiritual eye is the place where the ground vein evil spirit is turned into the spiritual energy of the spiritual vein.
It can also be said that the ground vein spiritual eye is the source of the spiritual vein.
There is no spiritual vein under this spring.
There is some extremely thin ground vein evil spirit in the spring water, which is consistent with the ground vein spiritual eye recorded in the ancient book. "
"There should be a ground vein under the ground vein spiritual eye to continuously provide spiritual energy.
In time, this spiritual eye may derive a spiritual vein.
Of course, it is also possible that the spiritual eye will dry up and become an ordinary spring. "
Hearing this, Liu Qingyun and another family member showed joy on their faces.
In the Red Wasteland, it is extremely difficult to get a spiritual vein.
Even if it is just a spiritual eye with the potential to develop into a spiritual vein, it is still a considerable resource.
The Liu family is considered to be in the upper middle level among all the family forces, but it only has two spiritual veins.
There is only one second-level spiritual vein, and it is a second-level lower grade.
Now that there is an additional earth vein spiritual eye, the family's foundation can also be increased.
As a discoverer, there are naturally benefits.
Next, everyone looked at the six spiritual ginsengs eagerly.
Liu Zhaoxing saw what others were thinking: "According to the clan rules, clan members who discover spiritual veins outside and report them to the clan can get rewards.
All spiritual plants and spiritual beasts on the spiritual veins belong to the discoverer.
Report this earth vein spiritual eye to the clan, and we will divide the six spiritual ginsengs."
"If it weren't for Yuanchen's cleverness and marking the wolf king, it would be difficult for us to catch up with the wolf king.
The credit for discovering this earth vein spiritual eye belongs to Yuanchen.
Of the six spiritual ginsengs, Yuanchen should take two."
"The earth vein spiritual eye carries evil spirits. This spiritual ginseng can grow well here. It must be adapted to the evil spirits, or it has a certain ability to transform evil spirits.
So, the six spiritual ginsengs We'd better not take all the ginseng away, but leave one to live and multiply here.
Each of the three of us will have one ginseng. If anyone is interested in exchanging the ginseng for spiritual stones, the family can also buy it at the market price. "
Liu Yuanchen wanted to get the small ginseng, and hurriedly said: "I think this ginseng is quite peculiar, maybe it is a mutant variety.
As a spiritual medicine master, I am more interested in mutant spiritual medicines.
Of the two ginsengs assigned to me, one will be sold to the family, and the other one will be taken away for cultivation. "
Liu Zhaoxing nodded: "Then you can choose first. "
Liu Yuanchen naturally chose the smallest one and dug out the surrounding gravel and sand together.
The exposed part of the root is like white jade, and it also has a greasy luster. It is simply carved from mutton-fat jade.
The roots have many forks, roughly forming a human shape.
Liu Zhaoxing stroked his beard: "It looks like this spiritual ginseng should be white jade ginseng.
It's just that the root can grow into the appearance of mutton-fat jade, which should be a little mutated.
Yuanchen, why didn't you pick the first-grade top-grade one, but picked the smallest one?"
White jade ginseng is a first-grade top-grade spiritual plant. A few older white jade ginsengs can grow to second-grade low-grade.
The medicinal properties of white jade ginseng are mainly to replenish qi and blood, strengthen bones and muscles, and also have some effects in replenishing mana.
Of course, it's hard to say about the mutated white jade ginseng. The grade and medicinal effect may be higher or lower.
Liu Yuanchen pretended to be humble: "If it weren't for your Uncle Jiu's tricks, even if we found the wolf cave, we probably wouldn't be able to take it down.
Your contribution is greater than mine, and that first-grade top-grade spiritual ginseng should be yours."
Liu Zhaoxing smiled and said, "Yes, you know how to be humble at such a young age.
However, I can't take advantage of you, a junior.
That top-grade spiritual ginseng is also yours, and the family will give you spiritual stones later."
Hearing this, Liu Qingyun and the other two clansmen also expressed their willingness to sell the spiritual ginseng to the family.
The four of them checked the other three stone chambers, each of which had traces of artificial excavation.
In one of the stone chambers, stone tables, stone chairs and stone couches were also found.
However, there was a thin layer of dust on them.
There was a large desert all around, and this stone cave was deep underground, so there was very little dust that could fall.
There was a layer of dust in the stone chamber, which should have been uninhabited for many years.
Otherwise, it would not have been occupied by the red sand wolf.
Nothing left by the monks was found in the four stone chambers.
"This stone chamber should have been left by ancient monks. Even the bedrooms are well decorated, and it is completely possible to send monks to garrison it.
I will return to the clan first and ask the clan leader to send people to guard it.
Qing Jian, please stay here and guard for a few days until the family sends someone to replace you. "
After that, Liu Zhaoxing took the two wolf cubs and left the stone room first.
Liu Qingyun and his son also left together, but they returned to Yanze.
After staying in Yanze for a day, the family sent someone to tell him that a residence had been arranged for Liu Yuanfu and he could move there at any time.
Because Liu Qingyun was successful in killing the red sand wolf, he was transferred back to his ancestral land to serve him.
Liu Yuanchen's family took the family's salt cargo ship and left Yanze for Dongyang Lake, their ancestral home.
At the foot of Nanshan Mountain on the south bank of Dongyang Lake, there are many houses prepared for the tribesmen who opened up wasteland. Liu Yuanchen's family was allocated a two-in courtyard.
There are two spiritual veins near Dongyang Lake, one is the second-level low-grade spiritual vein from Dongyang Lake and Dongyang Peak.
Another first-level high-grade spiritual vein is located in Nanshan.
Settling down at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, the environment is much better than that of Yanze.
After settling down with his family, Liu Yuanchen and his father went to the Dongyang Peak Executive Hall to receive the reward.
In the standing hall, only the great elder is still handling affairs.
Seeing the arrival of the father and son, he immediately smiled and said: "Third brother, Yuan Chen, you are here.
Yuan Chen found the wolf's lair this time, helped the family solve a big problem, and also found an earth vein spiritual eye. It was really a great achievement.
If you hadn't already joined the Qingdan Sect, I would have really wanted to give you a managerial position. "
Liu Yuanchen was also full of polite words: "Whether I am in the family or in the Qingdan Sect, I am a member of the Liu family."
The elder smiled and said: "Yuan Chen still knows how to speak, I discussed it with the head of the family.
Yuan Chen has made great contributions to the family, and he also dedicated the first-grade white jade ginseng to the family, which must be rewarded. "
He took out a storage bag: "You are usually not in the family and cannot hold a position in the family, so you can only be rewarded in terms of property and inheritance.
This time I will reward you with a hundred spiritual stones, as well as the alchemy classics collected by the family over the years, and a copy of the alchemy experience of the elders in the clan.
Although these inheritances are not as good as the Qingdan Sect, they are somewhat effective.
In addition, in the future, you will receive a 20% discount on the resources needed for alchemy in the family-owned store.
When elixirs are sold in the family store, they are always purchased at market price. "
Liu Yuanchen was a little surprised that his family was so generous this time.
The reward of a hundred spiritual stones is reasonable, and the inheritance of alchemy is not a big deal.
What he really cares about is that he can get a 20% discount on elixirs from the family store and sell the elixirs at market prices.
In this way, the profit from alchemy can be greatly increased.
Liu Yuanchen took the storage bag: "Thank you, Great Elder."
The great elder nodded and continued: "Third brother, you have guarded Yanze over the years and fought off monster harassment more than ten times.
This time, he also made a lot of achievements in solving the red sand wolf.
In addition, if you offer a first-level middle-grade white jade ginseng, you will be rewarded with thirty spiritual stones. "
“There is a plan to open up more than 100 acres of spiritual land in Nanshan, but there is still a need for a manager.
I remember that you are a water-attribute fairy, and you are also suitable for managing spiritual fields. You are a steward in Lingzhi Hall, responsible for the land reclamation in Nanshan. "
