Master Xiantu

Chapter 9 Fighting monsters and upgrading

It's just that Liu Yisheng's words did not make Elder Wang feel relieved at all, on the contrary, he became more and more worried.

Zongmen has been nervous about spirit stones recently, and today he managed to gather some sealwort to relieve the urgent need, but now he has to buy Peiyuancao again.

Although this herb is not a rare herb, but because of its special medicinal effect, it is called "the foundation of elixir" together with herb for nurturing essence, herb for nourishing soul, herb for concentrating mind, and herb for nourishing yin. These five kinds of spiritual grasses have resulted in the fact that although there are Peiyuan grasses, few are fully mature.

The demand is too great, and it is impossible to wait for it to mature and pick it as soon as it can be used as medicine. Once a mature Peiyuan grass appears, its value will often be driven up to hundreds of spirit stones.

The sect is now unable to make ends meet, so how can it afford to buy Yuanyuan Grass?

While he was looking sad, Qi Ji walked to the door holding the Pei Yuan grass. Hearing Liu Yisheng's words, Qi Ji said, "Master, I happened to pick a Pei Yuan grass when I was collecting herbs in the mountains the day before yesterday."

Before Liu Yisheng could reply, Elder Wang's body flickered, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Qi Ji's face, took the Peiyuancao from his hand with excitement, held it in his palm and said tremblingly: "Peiyuancao! It's really Peiyuancao!"

With that said, he carefully held the Pei Yuan Cao in front of Liu Yisheng.

When Liu Yisheng saw that Qi Ji had sent it to see if it was Pei Yuan Grass, he raised his head and said to him, "Qi Ji, you have made another contribution to our sect."

"Sharing worries for the sect is a disciple's duty." Qi Ji replied modestly.

"The value of mature Peiyuan grass is not much higher than that of Seven Star grass. Let Elder Wang return this favor." Liu Yisheng said and turned to look at Elder Wang.

Elder Wang immediately said: "Look at me, I was so happy that I even forgot your reward."

As he said this, he rummaged through his mustard seed bag, and after searching for a long time, he only found 20 yuan of spiritual stones.

A little embarrassed, he said to Qiji: "I only have so many spirit stones now, you take them first, and I will buy your Yuanyuancao at the price of 300 yuan low-grade spirit stones, and the 20 yuan spirit stones should be paid in advance The deposit, you keep it."

Qi Ji didn't dare to really ask for it, and hurriedly refused: "We usually take care of our senior sister so much, how can we ask for these spirit stones."

"Take it for you." Elder Wang was a generous man. Seeing Qi Wei, he declined and directly stuffed the spirit stone into his arms.

He still felt that it was a little short, but at this time he could not bring out more spiritual stones, so he added another 20 of his contribution points to Qiji.

Qi Ji declined but had no choice but to accept. Seeing Liu Yisheng busy detoxifying his senior sister, he excused himself and left.

Back at the residence, Zhao Hongfei and the others were worried about Cheng Xiaodie's injury, and they discussed going to the mountain tomorrow to try their luck and see if they could pick Peiyuancao.

"Don't worry about the safety of Senior Sister Cheng. I happened to pick a plant of Peiyuancao the day before yesterday, and I have already handed it over to the head." Qi Ji comforted several people.

After hearing that Cheng Xiaodie was rescued, several people felt relieved and did not ask Qi Ji how he collected the Pei Yuan grass.

Because Cheng Xiaodie was injured and could no longer lead the team, Zhao Hongfei and the others could not go to the mountains to collect medicine, so they had to stay in the sect and do some sect tasks every day to accumulate contribution points.

I am used to going to the mountain to earn several pieces of spirit stones at a time. After only staying in the sect for two days, I felt that it was too slow to rely on Zongmen missions to accumulate contribution points to exchange for spirit stones, so I secretly entered the mountain alone on the third day up.

There is another reason why he is so eager to enter the mountain, and that is the newly discovered function of the system that can absorb life essence and transform it into aura, which is equivalent to him being able to fight monsters and upgrade.

Before entering the mountain, Qi Ji used the contribution points given to him by Elder Wang to exchange for a jade gourd with two cubic meters of space, which was intended to be used to contain animal blood.

The exchange points for space magic weapon are very high. Two cubic jade gourds directly cost Qi Ji 12 contribution points. If it weren't for the 20 points assigned to him by Elder Wang, he would not be able to exchange them.

Since the spirit stone he wanted to exchange was out of stock, Qi Ji spent another [-] contribution points to exchange for a one-cubic mustard bag. Counting what he got from the man in black, Qi Ji now has four mustard bags on his body .

Seeing that the sect didn’t have anything good to exchange for the remaining contribution points at this time, Qi Ji just saved them and didn’t use them.

All the 20 yuan spiritual stones were replaced with spiritual energy, and the medicine garden continued to be upgraded. Together with the remaining 30 spiritual energy, it was just enough to upgrade the medicine garden to level four. After the upgrade, the area of ​​the medicine garden increased by another [-] square meters.

Entering the mountain, Qi Ji took out the mustard bag of the man in black. Only now did he have a chance to open it to see what was inside.

The man in black is probably a casual cultivator. There are no treasures in it. There is a secret book of "Netherworld Sutra", a bottle of "King of Hell Powder" poison, a short dagger with black light, and nothing else. There are no other things, no spirit stones.

Put the things into the backpack together with the mustard bag, open the system map and see where there are green dots.

Picking and picking, Qi Ji picked a cave, the cave was densely packed with green dots, but there was a shocking red dot among the countless green dots.

Qi Ji took out the bottle of "Yan Wang San" obtained from the man in black. This bottle of poison gave Qi Ji immense courage.

"Yan Wang San" can poison even Cheng Xiaodie's fifth level of Qi Refining, Qi Ji intends to go and see what kind of monster is in the valley before making a decision.

After walking through the dense forest, the road in the jungle was not easy to walk. After walking in a winding way for more than an hour, I arrived at the entrance of a barren mountain.

There was no grass growing on the barren mountain, and it was all bare rocks.

The color of the stone is also blood red, and even the aura surrounding it has a hint of blood.

The star points on the map can only show the monster's level of danger, but not the name of the monster's species. Qi Ji didn't know what kind of beast was in the cave, so he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the cave.

Not long after, there was a crisp sound, and then there was a strange squeaking sound. The sound seemed to be a mouse, but there was also the sound of flapping wings.

Suddenly, a few blood-red bats, as big as adult domestic cats, flew out of the cave, and immediately pounced on Qiji when they smelled the breath on Qiji's body.

It turned out to be a vampire bat. Qi Ji was taken aback, and quickly dodged around. When he swung his sword to fight back, the vampire bat had a very strong ability to hear and distinguish positions, and he easily dodged it after a few attacks.

Qi Ji was taken aback, so he had to temporarily retreat from the rocky mountain to find another way.

A few vampire bats flew around in the air for a few times, and then flew back to the cave after losing the enemy target. Qiji looked at the entrance of the cave at half a person's height, and then saw the blood-red rocks of different sizes around them, and suddenly had an idea in their minds.

Carefully moved the huge mountains weighing more than a hundred catties to the entrance of the cave, and stacked them lightly. After another hour passed, Qi Ji finally blocked the entrance of the cave tightly, leaving only a fist-sized Kouzi.

He went to the forest to cut a bundle of dry thatch and brought it over, rolled it into small grass handles, poured "Yan Wang San" into the bag, used his mana to light the grass handles, and stuffed them in through the opening.

Following Qi Ji's igniting and stuffing the poisonous grass one by one into the hole, the system reminded him to absorb one hundred points of life essence and transform them into one hundred points of aura.

Seeing the green dots displayed on the map decrease one by one, and the spiritual energy value rose rapidly, Qi Ji was delighted from ear to ear.

Just as he was proud of his way of reaping profits, there was a sound of hitting stones at the entrance of the cave.

Qi Ji was startled, and quickly opened the map to look, only to see a red dot standing at the entrance of the cave.

"Bat King!" Qi Ji guessed secretly in his heart, and hurriedly lit the poisonous weed handle that had been prepared and stuffed it into the cave entrance again.

Sure enough, the poisonous smoke rose, and the red dot quickly left the entrance of the cave and flew towards the bottom of the cave.

As the poisonous smoke became thicker and thicker, the vampire bats in the cave were soon poisoned to death by Qi Ji. After holding on for another half an hour, the system beeped, indicating that Qi Ji had received [-] points of spiritual energy.

Killing the Vampire Bat King actually got so much spiritual energy, equivalent to ten spiritual stones.

Even counting ordinary bats, Qi Ji got a total of 13 spiritual energy points.

After upgrading the medicine garden to level ten, a system prompt sounded in Qiji's mind: [Ding!The level of the medicine garden has reached level ten, and the area of ​​the current medicine garden has doubled. 】

Reaching the tenth level actually doubled the area of ​​the medicine garden. Qi Ji was immediately overjoyed. His current area of ​​the medicine garden was 180 square meters, which doubled to 360 square meters.

Qi Ji thought about the remaining 3 spiritual energy and decided to break through to the second level of Qi refining. He could no longer wait for Zhao Hongfei and the others.

Now that I am eager to improve my strength, Zhao Hongfei and the others' cultivation speed is really too slow, even at the risk of being suspected, Qiji decided to upgrade.

The big deal is to set up a person who is a genius for cultivation at that time.

There was another sound of frying beans in the joints of the body. After the crackling sound, Qi Ji suddenly felt comfortable all over his body, and every pore in his body was like soaking in hot springs.

After the cultivation base has been promoted to the second level of Qi Refining, I feel that the mana has become much thicker again. I went down the rocky mountain and entered the mountain forest all the way, specifically picking places with a lot of green spots.

Before he had gone far, he encountered a black panther, which was extremely fast. Qi Ji spent a lot of effort to kill it, but unfortunately it was just an ordinary leopard, and he only got [-] points of spiritual energy.

While hunting wild beasts and looking for spiritual materials, the morning passed quickly. Qi Ji gained a lot. In addition to tens of thousands of spiritual energy, he also dug up several wild plum trees, bluegrass and several wild ginseng.

Spiritual materials are very common, so planting them in a medicine garden is better than nothing.

For several days in a row, Qi Ji ran to the mountains every day. Although Zhao Hongfei and others were envious, they knew their own strength, so it was difficult for them to ask Qi Ji to lead them.

When in danger, self-protection becomes a problem. How can I have the energy to take care of them? I can only turn my envy into motivation and practice hard.

Qi Ji went to the mountains every day. In addition to harvesting a lot of spiritual energy, he finally planted his medicinal garden again. Of course, he planted some ordinary medicinal materials such as Shouwu, Polygonatum, Poria, and common ginseng that did not produce much essence.

What Qi Ji lacks now is time. As long as he is given enough time, these ordinary spirit materials can be advanced with the blessing of the medicine garden's spirit energy, and naturally more spirit energy will be produced by then.

Under Qi Ji's stimulation, Zhao Hongfei and the others finally broke through to the Qi refining stage one after another. When they proudly showed off to Qi Ji, they discovered that Qi Ji had already broken through to the second level of Qi refining.
