Chapter 301: Suggestions, Yunling Sanren
A wood demon sits in front of a small magical tree, like a devout ascetic sitting in meditation and enlightenment.
The wood demon's brows furrowed from time to time, and then relaxed from time to time.
After more than thirty years of growth, the size of the small supernatural power tree has not changed much, but the precious light on the tree has become more and more prosperous.
From time to time, some phantom visions will appear in the aura.
And if Lin Shiming guessed correctly, these were exactly what the wood demon captured.
From the performance of the wood demon, the golden-winged mantis and the red-haired demon monkey, he also discovered that there seemed to be a more magical method of visualization in the world of immortality.
The root of his deduction is a similar secret method.
It also comes from visualizing the origin of enlightenment from the Zifu Wood Demon Immortal Tree in Nine Leaf City.
The wood demon still hasn't exited the state.
Lin Shiming didn't bother him either, after all, the current wood demon was also his spiritual beast.
On the other hand, Hongmao and Jinyi had a lot of fun with him, and after leaving some third-level beast-nurturing pills and spirit beast meat, they exited the cave world.
It was rare to have time to come to Qingyunfang City, and Lin Shiming also planned to visit the Lin family's shop.
The Lin family has twelve shops in Qingyunfang City, but they only run three of them themselves. The remaining seven belong to Zixuan Sanren and two belong to Xie An.
Xie An and Zixuan Sanren's shops are naturally rented out, and are usually managed by the Lin family.
Lin Shiming also mainly visited Lin's stores.
The Lin family has three shops, one of which is Lin's Alchemy Pavilion, which naturally deals in spiritual elixirs, magic tools and spiritual talismans. The second is Lin's Restaurant, which deals in Qingling Liquor, Monkey Wine and various spiritual meals. The signature red fish spiritual meal and the blood crocodile spiritual meal are all favorite spiritual meals of various casual cultivators.
It is the restaurant with the richest spiritual cuisine in Yunzhou.
The third shop is used for purchasing spiritual beast materials and heavenly materials and earthly treasures. It usually sends out some demand tasks, and some casual cultivators will go looking for them.
For example, in this shop, there was news about third-level monkeys and spirit insects, and there was news about monster luring grass.
Lin Shiming watched the monks coming and going, including those who had just fledged to immortality. He followed the elders with a childish look on his face. Under the instructions of the elders, he pretended to be mature and watched the magic in the Alchemy Pavilion. Magic weapon.
In the Alchemy Pavilion, the Lin family members also discovered Lin Shiming, and among them his thirtieth uncle Lin Houyuan came over.
"Shiming, you're here."
"Uncle Thirty, you don't have to be like this. If you have nothing to do, come and take a look!"
"Look, I've wanted to invite you for a long time!" Lin Houyuan said with a smile.
The next discount on spiritual stones at the Linjiaxing County Fangshi auction, as well as the idea of spiritual meals, have made the Lin family's business much better than that of ordinary families.
Adhering to the principle of small profits but quick turnover, it is also the signature of the Lin family, and the addition of Lingyu Lingshan makes the Lin family stand out here.
At this time, if Lin Shiming could continue to give pointers, he felt that it would definitely be better.
"Uncle Thirty is commendable, Uncle Thirty is better at this!" Lin Shiming said.
Then he continued to look at it, and Lin Houyuan also introduced it.
The Lin family's alchemy pavilion is also the same as the previous auction. If you purchase a magic weapon or elixir that exceeds a thousand spiritual stones, you will be given a ten-spirit reduction for the next time.
And after purchasing tens of thousands of spirit stones in total, you can enjoy a 20% discount at the Lin family's restaurant and alchemy pavilion in the future.
And when you buy something, you will be given Bigu Pill as a gift.
The Bigu Pill is a first-level elixir and is used by monks to fasten grains.
The price is not high, but it is also good news for casual cultivators who wish they could break a spiritual stone into two flowers.
After the introduction, the two of them arrived at the backyard of the store.
Sitting down at the stone table, Lin Houyuan also poured the spiritual tea, but Lin Houyuan's spiritual tea was from those sub-trees, and was only of the second level.
But even so, Lin Houyuan was still very precious. It was packed in a jade box, and there was obviously another ordinary tea on the table.
After pouring the tea, Lin Houyuan also looked sad.
"Shi Ming, now the second-level middle-grade magical weapons, second-order middle-grade spiritual pills, and second-order spiritual talismans in the Alchemy Pavilion are in short supply. They are often shipped to the family and then consumed in a short time!"
"Uncle Thirty, this is simple. We can recruit a group of alchemists and weapon refiners in the family alchemy pavilion to practice in Qingyunfang City, and let the family refine some simple magic weapons and elixirs here. And the family can also accept commissions to customize alchemy, weapons, and talismans!”
"There is no charge, only four refining raw materials are charged, and then the customized quantity is limited. At the same time, the elixir-making rate and weapon-making rate of the family monks are assessed, and then the elixir and spiritual materials of casual cultivators can be used to cultivate the elixir and weapon refining of the family monks. level, it can also relieve some of the pressure!”
"In addition, if we can provide a prescription that the Lin family does not have, we can even help them refine it for free!"
Lin Shiming spoke, and Lin Houyuan's eyes lit up.
This kind of customization has never been done before. It is very bold to let those second-level mid-level alchemy masters and second-level mid-level weapon refiners come to refine it. They may not even make much money, but as long as they can guarantee that the elixir and the weapon will be more than Thirty percent can definitely take the Lin family's Alchemy Pavilion business to the next level.
In the Lin Family Alchemy Pavilion and the Weapon Refining Pavilion, in order to ensure the elixir-formation rate of the family monks, those monks with low elixir-formation rates did not have much material to practice with.
Now, I can also provide materials and enrich the resumes of these monks. It is better to come to Qingyunfang City more than staying in Fangmushan all the time.
This is like killing two birds with one stone.
Especially for refining weapons, many cultivators have different needs for weapons because of their different skills and fighting habits.
But most shops accept customized weapons, at least starting with high-grade weapons.
For those weapon refiners, there is no need to customize mid-grade and low-grade weapons.
And because weapon refiners themselves have to practice, there are many restrictions.
Now the Lin family is booming, and the four arts of cultivation are also strongly supported, so it is completely possible to do so.
What makes Lin Houyuan embarrassed is that the Lin family does not have enough shops to provide the family's alchemists and weapon refiners with alchemy and weapon refiners.
But the next moment, seeing Lin Shiming's mouth corners rise, Lin Houyuan's worries disappeared again.
They came here just to divide the shops.
There is no problem with the Lin family's strength being divided by 20%. There are more than 100 shops in Qingyunfang City, and 20% is also 20. There is no problem in vacating a few.
After discussing the details with Lin Houyuan again, Lin Shiming also left and came to Lin's Restaurant.
Lin Yuzheng and Lin Shiyi were also on the second floor of the Lin's Restaurant.
When Lin Yuzheng saw Lin Shiming coming in, both of them stood up in a serious manner.
Lin Shiyi even said:
"Shiming, I went to investigate. As expected, someone from the Zhang family went to explore Hongshiling three months ago. If I guessed correctly, there must be either a medium-grade spiritual stone mine or a precious third-level spiritual iron mine!"
Lin Shiyi said affirmatively.
The Lin family has the gold, iron and stone veins of Shiling Cave, and they have a certain understanding of the veins. They have also bred a lot of spiritual rats such as gold-eating rats. It is not too difficult to arrange one or two spiritual rats to investigate!
And this is more in line with the interests of the Zhang family.
Using the Yunzhou cultivators to help him conquer Hongshiling, not only showed the courage of their Zhang family to Qingxuan Sect, but also seized the spiritual veins, a number of resources, and finally the veins!
It can be said that it is killing three birds with one stone. The benefits are unimaginable!
And, as you can imagine, the morale of the Zhang family cultivators has also been greatly improved.
You know, the Zhang family was forced to come to Yunzhou from Jinzhou, which has better spiritual energy and abundant materials. Those cultivators may all be a little discouraged.
Lin Shiyi and Lin Yuzheng had obviously discussed it for a while before, and they admired the Zhang family's plan very much.
In the name of allocating shops, the foundation-building combat power and high-end combat power of all families were handed over to participate.
It not only prevented the major families from sending the old, weak, sick and disabled, but also prevented the major families from bringing too many cultivators. Too many people and too many hands would inevitably leak the news.
Hongshiling is not far from the market. In order to avoid revealing the news, the Zhang family pulled the main families on board together, which is also a better choice.
Lin Shiming was extremely calm.
The action of the Zhang family, a purple mansion family, would naturally not be so simple, but he was still curious. It was just an ordinary third-level mineral vein, which was not worth the only purple mansion cultivator of the Zhang family!
You know, this purple mansion cultivator is not only a weapon refiner, but also has a short deadline.
Moreover, if it is really so simple and so easy for them to know, then the meaning of this layout is a simple conspiracy.
The risk of something happening to the Purple Mansion cultivators is not small.
However, since he couldn't figure it out, Lin Shiming stopped thinking about it. Anyway, he would know everything when he arrived at Red Lion Ridge.
As for strength, with his current strength, he was confident that he could escape even if he couldn't win.
He also had treasures such as the Peach Blossom River Scenery Map and the Five-Colored Silkworm Coffin, so he was naturally confident.
After discussing with Lin Yuzheng and Lin Shiyi, Lin Shiming also observed Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu again.
Both of them were in retreat, which made Lin Shiming extremely satisfied.
Among them, Lin Zekong's Tianmu Seed Spirit Secret Method had been successful, and the amount of spiritual energy storage had greatly increased.
His strength had also improved a lot, and he was still adapting. Even if he came out of retreat, he would not be at a disadvantage against ordinary Qi training level 8 cultivators.
Lin Shiming didn't bother him.
Time passed quickly. Seven days later, dozens of arenas had been opened up by the Zhang family outside Qingyun Market.
These arenas were of different sizes, and the numbers marked were also different.
At first glance, the largest number is thirty, followed by a number of twenty, a number of fifteen, and the remaining are three numbers of tens, as well as twenty arenas with numbers of one.
All the numbers added together are exactly the number of all the shops in Qingyun Market, one hundred and fifteen shops.
However, this layout is somewhat meaningful to Lin Shiming.
This is clearly for him and the ancestor of the Chen family to decide the winner.
Otherwise, the numbers of twenty and fifteen would not appear.
The following rules are also as expected by Lin Shiming. The number represents the number of shops.
The rules are also very simple, defending the arena.
However, only young cultivators under the age of thirty can enter the arena with the number one.
There are no restrictions on the other arenas.
However, if you don’t have the foundation-building cultivation, you will just be a food delivery!
Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu are also sharpening their fists. The two have long wanted to perform on the arena, especially after receiving the guidance and help of Lin Shiming, they are even more confident.
Of course, the two were not completely overwhelmed, and kept looking at the young cultivators around them like them.
Studying the opponent, and planning a famous countermeasure.
This scene also made Lin Shiming nod his head.
He was more satisfied with the two.
"Second brother, you can also try the ten-digit arena!" After watching Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu, Lin Shiming looked at Lin Shiyi and said.
Lin Shiyi beside him also nodded with a strong fighting spirit. He had broken through the foundation for several years, so it was a good time to practice.
The biggest growth in physical training is fighting, and even hand-to-hand combat.
Why Lin Shiming was able to improve so quickly was because the red-haired demon monkey transformed into a giant ape and fought hand to hand again and again.
As the rising sun rose to a sufficient height, many casual cultivators gathered around, making the scene even more noisy.
This fight does not restrict the viewing of casual cultivators, and for those casual cultivators who are temporarily reorganizing, watching others fight is also a help for improvement.
Even because of this, Qingyunfang City became more popular.
There is an endless stream of monks coming and going.
Of course, in addition to watching the fighting in the ring, I also plan to rent a shop in advance after the families decide their sovereignty.
There are also businessmen among casual cultivators, as well as weapon refiners and alchemists. Having a shop will definitely make their path to immortality smoother.
This actually surprised Lin Shiming. Maybe Dingxing County and City could do the same in the future, giving up some shops to some casual cultivators.
Through some fighting methods, some casual cultivators can also be recruited, and the reputation of the county and city can also be improved.
On the other hand, in Lingnan County and City, the Lin family didn't want him to grow bigger.
While Lin Shiming was thinking, Zhang Haoling over there also flew into the air after getting Master Qian's signal.
"Okay, the defense has officially begun. One person can only defend once and attack once. Each person has two opportunities to attack..."
With Zhang Haoling's announcement, the entire city-city division competition has begun.
As the biggest witness, Chief Qian also found a seat and sat down leisurely.
Watch the monks go to the ring to defend and attack!
Lin Shiyi took the lead in entering a cross ring, while Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu also entered a ring each.
Became a member of the defending army.
Lin Shiming had doubts about Lin Shiyi entering the ring so early in the morning.
It is undoubtedly irrational for a person to practice physical training and defend the competition, but thinking about Lin Shiyi's current state of mind, it is understandable.
Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu were both wood cultivators and formation cultivators.
Naturally, the earlier the morning, the better, and the more advantage you will have in defending the ring.
Sure enough, when the challenge began, Lin Shiyi faced a monk from Yunzhou who used earth-based techniques from a foundation-building family.
This monk is somewhat similar to Lin Houwei. He can control sand and dust. His magical weapon also has three earth flags!
Lin Shiyi's close approach was blocked for a while, and Lin Shiyi had to take out his magic weapon, but the other party took out his magic weapon to deal with it, and for a while he was restrained everywhere.
Moreover, the other party also raised a family spirit beast, and its strength was equally extraordinary.
In the end, he was at a disadvantage and was the first to be defeated.
However, Lin Shiyi was not angry either. He came with a learning attitude, and meeting someone who restrained him the most only made him more excited.
And he was ready to challenge again after recovering his true energy.
Lin Shiming gave Lin Shiyi an encouraging look, then looked at Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu.
At this time, Lin Zekong had already controlled many wooden vines, and his opponent was also a monk at the seventh level of Qi training.
Due to the spiritual catalyst injected in advance, he had the upper hand, and with the help of the blood crocodile and wooden puppets, he quickly defeated his opponent.
When defeated, the healing elixir and spiritual energy will be restored, and then the Wood Vine Technique will be used again.
Lin Shiming also nodded with great satisfaction. Lin Zekong's performance was not impressive, and he believed that he could win a store. You must know that his snake vine flower was also in Lin Zekong's hands, but the latter catalyzed the speed of the snake vine flower. Much slower than when he was practicing Qi.
But as long as you prepare in advance and are not careless, there will be no problems.
Next to him, Lin Zelu was even more relaxed. He took out a set of formation flag magic weapons and used various formations. In a short time, he defeated the enemy much faster than Lin Zekong.
The outcome was naturally determined quickly.
In addition to Lin Zelu and Lin Zekong, Lin Shiyi also went up to challenge again. This time he succeeded, but he was quickly attacked and defeated again.
Lin Shiming was still thinking about comforting him, but found that Lin Shiyi was extremely excited, with a naive smile under his tired eyes.
For him, what matters is not victory or defeat, but whether he can learn and refine it in the battle.
Lin Shiming smiled when he saw this, and asked Lin Shiyi to look at Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu before walking towards a ring.
It's the arena of twenty.
The time was almost up and he was about to attack.
The ring guard at age 20 is Chen Xuankong, the ancestor of the Chen family, while the ring guard at age 30 is Zhang Haogang.
It's not Zhang Haoling, but Lin Shiming naturally won't fight Zhang Haogang. If he wins, it will just be a fight with Zhang Haoling.
Chen Xuankong watched Lin Shiming walking up, his eyes a little unkind, and he directly transmitted the message.
"You junior, why are you so clueless? Before entering Fangshi, you offended the Zhang family and offended my Chen family. When Lin Xianzhi is here, you have to call me brother!"
Chen Xuankong was obviously unhappy in his voice transmission.
At the foundation-building meeting, Lin Shiming was the first person to agree to Zhang Haoling. Now Lin Shiming, a mid-stage foundation-building monk, came to compete with him, a late-stage foundation-building monk, for the ring of twenty.
"You retreat now. For the sake of Lin Xianzhi, I won't hurt you. It's still too late for you to compete for the fifteenth ring!"
"Fellow Daoist Chen is offended!" Lin Shiming's expression did not change and he continued to speak.
The shop in front of him is equally important to the Lin family, so he will naturally not give up.
However, since Chen Xuankong knew his seventh uncle, he tried to persuade him, even though it was with harsh words.
But he also doesn't mind letting loose at critical moments.
Besides, for him, the more low-key the duel is, the better.
"Please go, Fellow Daoist Chen!" Lin Shiming waved his hand.
Chen Xuankong's face was indeed a little ugly. He took out a seal, which instantly turned into the size of a small mountain and smashed towards Lin Shiming.
The seal was obviously a top-grade magic weapon, and it seemed to be engraved with wind-attributed spiritual patterns. It was surprisingly fast. In the blink of an eye, it was above Lin Shiming and turned into a thick earth-yellow spiritual mountain. It suddenly smashed down, making waves of terrifying sounds.
Lin Shiming's grinding god plate was immediately raised horizontally to block the seal.
At the same time, countless poisonous dragon vines were flying wildly on the stage, like poisonous dragons, releasing poisonous mist and tying up Chen Xuankong.
Chen Xuankong did not show a surprised look. Instead, as if he had expected it, three spiritual swords appeared around him, unfolding an airtight sword curtain. In addition, there was also a beast banner fluttering wildly in the wind.
A large amount of gloomy wind swept out immediately, blowing away the poisonous fog of the poisonous dragon vine, making it impossible for the poisonous dragon vine to reorganize quickly.
The beast banner even manifested several third-stage late beast souls, attacking Lin Shiming.
Not only that, the spirit sword that chopped the poisonous dragon vine was also shot out immediately, turning into three long rainbows, flying towards Lin Shiming from behind.
Chen Xuankong couldn't help but curl up his mouth. Attacking a mid-stage foundation-building cultivator from three directions, no matter how talented or good at swordsmanship, in his opinion, must be defeated!
But when he looked again, Lin Shiming had already summoned the Purple Wood Xuantian Sword Formation.
A full thirty-six top-grade formation swords gathered into four small sword formations.
While blocking all three attacks from Chen Xuankong.
Suddenly, countless purple gold vines emerged from the ground.
The speed of the purple gold vine was extremely fast, and Chen Xuankong had to retreat dozens of feet and fly into the air with his sword.
But Lin Shiming's four sword formations at this moment merged into one sword.
And the sword will surged in the sky, and countless sword grass appeared in the air.
They all suppressed Chen Xuankong.
Chen Xuankong took out a wooden shield magic weapon and blocked it in front, but it was still chopped away by the sword formation, and the spiritual light was lost.
He released all the spirit swords and beast flags at once to resist the sword formation.
He used all his means to barely block it.
Before Chen Xuankong could be surprised, he saw the purple gold vine attacking again, and he blocked it with his sword.
But the purple gold vine is not a vine, but a root spear as hard as iron. For a while, the spirit sword defense was broken, and it was tied up by the poisonous dragon vine condensed by the poisonous fog that took the opportunity to surge over.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, thank you!" Lin Shiming said.
Even though Chen Xuankong's face was extremely ugly, at the moment, he did lose, and lost to a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.
Moreover, he also understood that Lin Shiming was still holding back against him despite his bad words, otherwise he might not even be able to compete for the 15th ring!
With Chen Xuankong's defeat, Lin Shiming also took out the middle-grade spirit stone and the spirit pill that restored his true essence and swallowed it.
His face was also slightly pale, as if the previous fight had consumed a lot of true essence.
"Well, Fellow Daoist Lin is very powerful, and I am ashamed of myself!" Chen Xuankong's face was a little ugly. Thinking of the fact that he had persuaded Lin Shiming to admit defeat before, he was even more ashamed to stay and went to the 15th ring.
The defense of the ring ended without any surprise. The Zhang family got a total of 43 shops, a total of 30 rings, 10 rings, and two 1 rings.
The Lin family got 22 shops.
The Chen family got 18 shops, which was better in young cultivators of Qi training.
With the end of the shop ring competition, the atmosphere of the entire Qingyunfang City did not end, but began to become a little dull.
At this moment, an old man in a Taoist robe appeared in the air in the Qingyun Market.
The old man seemed to have no spiritual energy or aura.
However, as soon as the old man appeared, Zhang Haoling bowed and saluted.
All the members of the Zhang family also saluted.
And everyone instantly understood the identity of the person.
Yunling Sanren!
