Chapter 2 New Spiritual Peach Tree
Qingtao Mountain is located in the north of Fangmu Mountain. The mountain is not high, but it is full of green peach trees. In spring, when the spring breeze blows, peach blossoms fly all over the mountain, like a peach fairyland, extremely beautiful.
There is also a century-old green peach tree on the top of the mountain, which is why Qingtao Mountain got its name.
The green peach tree blooms once a year and bears fruit once every three years, with ten to hundreds of fruits at a time.
These spiritual peaches are spiritual objects similar to spiritual water, which are also very beneficial to cultivation. One spiritual peach is worth five or six spiritual stones. If there are two hundred, the income is one thousand spiritual stones at a time, which is a considerable income for the Lin family.
And you should know that the Lin family only pays twenty spiritual stones a year to ordinary mid-stage Qi training cultivators, and only five yuan a year to early stage cultivators, and only fifty yuan a year to late stage cultivators.
It has been more than two years since the last time the spiritual peaches matured, and this time the spiritual peaches will definitely bear fruit.
Of course, as the garrison mission of Qingtao Mountain, there is also a responsibility to provide protection for Qingtao Town under Qingtao Mountain. Once there are monsters committing crimes, they must be slain.
When Lin Shiming arrived at Qingtao Mountain, it was already the third day since he met Lin Houyuan. After leaving the meeting hall, he went to the family contribution hall to receive two talismans, ten kilograms of spiritual water, and fifty kilograms of spiritual rice.
In addition, for the next three years of spiritual stone salary, all were exchanged for spiritual water, a total of 72 spiritual stones, and seven kilograms of spiritual water were also exchanged at the internal price.
These are the food of the golden-winged mantis, and can also be used as spiritual materials for their own cultivation.
The two talismans are for water escape and gold swordsmanship, both of which are second-level upper-grade talismans. They are used skillfully and have miraculous effects even against cultivators in the late stage of Qi training.
In addition to the talismans, Lin Houyuan also gave him a second-level middle-grade peak Qingling sword.
With his previous savings, there are still six or seven middle-grade talismans, so this trip can be said to be foolproof.
Qingtao Mountain is in early spring, with pink buds emerging from the green buds, and some are even eager to bloom, filling the air with the fragrance of flowers.
The peach blossoms on the mountain occupied Lin Shiming's eyes.
In this scene, if it weren't for his talent, he might have chanted a poem!
Lin Shiming first flew to the town hall of Qingtao Town at the foot of the mountain and showed his arrival to the mayor of Qingtao Town, a congenital warrior named Lin Yang.
According to convention, he handed the latter a message-transmitting talisman, which is the simplest talisman. It only needs to be ignited to transmit information.
After understanding the information of the town, Lin Shiming flew to the top of Qingtao Mountain again.
The top of Taohua Mountain is surprisingly flat, and the peach trees are even denser. Every peach blossom has turned pink.
Of course, if you think that this pink beauty is just a beauty, you will inevitably fall flat.
There is a Sanxuan Peach Blossom Formation on the top of Qingtao Mountain, and it is a second-level medium-grade formation arranged by Lin Yushui, the fourth elder of the Lin family.
This Sanxuan Peach Blossom Formation is built on the basis of the spiritual peach tree. It can extract the spiritual power of the spiritual peach in times of crisis. It is a great killing formation that combines illusion and attack!
Lin Shiming took out a message talisman and sent it into the formation.
Soon, the peach blossoms stopped falling, as if the picture was still.
Then the peach trees began to assemble in a guarding posture, as if they had become a row of soldiers.
"Shiming, aren't you not yet twenty? Why did the family send you here?" A hearty voice came, and a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe strode out.
"Seventeenth Uncle, Shiming is not a child anymore. It's time to do your part for the family." Lin Shiming also replied with a smile.
The man in front of him is Lin Shiming's seventeenth uncle, Lin Houwei, who has the cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi training and is a member of the family's demon hunting team.
The previous members of Qingtao Mountain died, and the spiritual peaches were about to mature, so Lin Houwei had to come to guard for a while.
But the late-stage cultivators of the family cannot be wasted here.
Moreover, Lin Houwei is a late-stage Qi training cultivator with extremely strong fighting skills.
Lin Shiming has learned fighting skills from this uncle seventeen since he was a child.
"That's right, you have been a pervert since you were a child, and you practice various basic spells better than some old guys."
Lin Shiming, who was occasionally guided by the system, did show a lot of talent in spells.
"Okay, Shiming, since you are here, I have to leave too. The demon hunting team is very busy now."
"Uncle seventeen, are you sure you don't want to stay and communicate? I brought a pot of Qingtao spiritual wine!" Lin Shiming knew that his uncle seventeen was a drunkard who loved alcohol, so he came out of the family and brought a pot of Qingtao spiritual wine.
This spiritual wine is brewed from the spiritual water and green peaches of the Lin family. It is the signature spiritual wine of the Lin family restaurant. A small pot requires twenty spiritual stones.
"Haha, I'll take the wine, but I won't keep it." Lin Houwei took the wine pot, untied the lid, and drank it in one gulp.
He was still mumbling while drinking, Shiming still understood him.
After drinking it in one gulp, a red light of enjoyment instantly appeared on his face, closed his eyes, shook his head, and was quite intoxicated.
"You kid have to work harder. Three years later, it will be the time when Qingxuan Sect sells foundation-building pills. This time, even if it costs 100,000 spirit stones, our Lin family will grab a foundation-building pill!"
"And your father and fifth brother are both candidates for foundation-building, and the family contribution will be considered." After Lin Houwei finished speaking, he handed the flag that controlled the formation and the jade slips to Lin Shiming, and then flew into the sky without looking back.
Not long after, he disappeared.
Lin Shiming was left alone to savor these words. He actually knew that the Lin family was calm at present, but there was an endless surge behind it. The old patriarch and supreme elder of the family, Lin Xianzhi, was seriously injured. Although he was only 150 years old, he was far from the upper limit of 250 years.
But he had not recovered from his serious injuries in these years, and there had been a lot of rumors outside.
The Lin family needs a new foundation-building cultivator!
Lin Shiming thought a lot at this time, including his father and his fifth uncle. Finally, after thinking that he was only a fifth-level Qi training cultivator, he laughed at himself a few times and gave up.
Then he began to carefully look at the formation flag and jade slip in his hand. By injecting mental power into the jade slip, he could instantly master the knowledge in the jade slip. This is also a more magical recording tool for cultivators.
The technique of controlling the formation flag is not complicated. Lin Shiming has mastered it skillfully within half an hour and left his spiritual consciousness in the formation flag.
Now, even if a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training comes, Lin Shiming has the confidence to fight with the formation and many trump cards.
"Please inspect all green peach trees, and you will harvest a new second-level spiritual peach tree that will bear fruit!"
At this moment, the system prompt came, instantly cheering Lin Shiming up!
New spiritual peach tree!
It's bearing fruit!
This system prompt gave Lin Shiming a big surprise on the first day.
Even if a spiritual peach tree only bears twenty peaches, it is 100 spiritual stones.
But except for the wild wasteland where spiritual energy is lacking, the spiritual peach tree can bear at least 50 peaches.
Even if it is handed over to the family, the family will give Lin Cheng a 30% reward, which is also a considerable harvest.
For Lin Shiming, who now has to support himself and the golden-winged mantis, this is undoubtedly great news.
