Chapter 151 The Theory of Taoist Soldiers, the No. 1 Casual Cultivator in the Jiang Kingdom

"Finally it's all together."

After walking out of the sixth store, Lu Changsheng let out a breath.

In Wanbao Pavilion, he purchased the Earth Fire Stone.

But I asked several stores, but none of them had colorful copper.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to spend two thousand spirit stones in this shop, allowing him to gather the last ingredients for the Qiyao Heart Lamp.

"When I return to Qingzhu Mountain and condense the Qiyao Heart Lamp, I can create this natal spiritual weapon!"

After gathering the required materials, Lu Changsheng was in a good mood.

After all, it would be too uncomfortable if there was just one missing material that couldn't be purchased.

"Now that I have broken through the Foundation Establishment, I have to buy some elixirs suitable for increasing my cultivation during the Foundation Establishment period."

Lu Changsheng thought in his mind.

If you want to practice quickly, taking drugs is essential.

If you rely on your own cultivation, it will take eight or nine years to break through to the second level of Foundation Establishment.

But as long as there are enough elixirs, and with the help of the Qiyao Heart Lamp to refine the erysipelas and purify the mana, it is estimated that it will be enough to attack the second floor of the foundation in two or three years.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng went to the ‘Danding Pavilion’, a time-honored elixir store, and asked if there were any elixirs suitable for the foundation-building period.

"Senior, the elixirs in our store that are suitable for the foundation-building period include Heqi Dan and Yangyuan Dan."

"However, all the Yangyuan Pills are currently sold out, and only one bottle of Heqi Pill is left."

"If seniors need it, they can pay a deposit. When the store replenishes the goods, we can notify seniors."

When the store receptionist heard Lu Changsheng asked about the foundation-building elixir, he immediately said respectfully.

"There is only one bottle of Aiki Dan."

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he felt a little disappointed.

But we also know that second-level elixirs, like second-level talismans, are not sold in many stores.

Unless you know a second-level alchemist.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to purchase in large quantities.

"How many spiritual stones are there in the Heqi Pill? Do you have any pills to increase your cultivation level in the later stage of Qi refining?"

Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

"Senior, there are 1,200 spirit stones for the Aiki Pill."

"Elixirs for increasing cultivation in the later stage of Qi refining. Currently, our store also has Qi Lian Powder, Qi Nourishing Pill, and Qi Gathering Pill."

After the receptionist reported the price, he took out a jade book and introduced to Lu Changsheng various elixirs suitable for the later stages of Qi refining.

These elixirs are also somewhat helpful to foundation-building monks.

For example, Qi Refining Powder can increase the speed of refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Qi Nourishing Pill can nourish the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and accelerate the movement of spiritual energy in the body.

But relatively speaking, the effect of these elixirs on foundation-building monks is very average.

In addition to the Heqi Pills, Lu Changsheng also purchased the remaining three bottles of Qi Nourishing Pills and a bottle of Qi Gathering Pills in the store.

A total of 2,200 spirit stones were spent.

Just when Lu Changsheng finished paying the spirit stones and was about to leave.

"Xiaoyu, has the guest who booked the 'Sanyang Pill' never come?"

"Shopkeeper, that customer has never been here. Three days ago, I asked Xiao Wu to contact the address left by the customer, but I still can't get in touch."

The shopkeeper went downstairs and asked an employee.

"Three Yang Pills?"

Lu Changsheng paused when he heard this conversation.

He knows this elixir.

Second level elixir.

Taken from the meaning of "Three Yang Kaitai".

After taking it, it can not only increase your cultivation level, but also save you years of hard work.

It can also eliminate all the hidden diseases and hidden dangers in the monk's body like the shining sun.

Therefore, it is also somewhat miraculous for monks who have perfected Qi refining to be promoted to foundation building.

It was even jokingly called the ‘Little Foundation Establishment Pill’.

Lu Changsheng knew about the Three Yang Pills and originally wanted to prepare one for himself.

However, this elixir can be considered a relatively cherished second-level elixir.

He went to several stores but couldn't buy it.

Hearing this conversation at this time, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but want to buy it.

He has built his foundation and cannot use it.

But you can buy it for your wife Lu Miaoge.

Lu Miaoge is still at the eighth level of Qi refining.

It is estimated that it will take two or three years to break through to the ninth level of Qi refining.

At that time, Lu Miaoge was already forty years old.

Although at this age, he can cultivate to the perfection of Qi refining and attack the foundation before the age of sixty.

But the older you get, the harder it is to attack foundation building.

Naturally, he hopes that his wife will practice to perfection as soon as possible.

Moreover, although Lu Miaoge had recovered from his initial attack, it was hard to say whether there were any hidden dangers.

If you have a Sanyang Pill, it will not only increase your cultivation, but also eliminate hidden dangers in your body, giving Lu Miaoge a little more hope when he attacks the foundation.

"Shopkeeper, since the original owner has been coming to collect the elixir, can this Sanyang elixir be still for sale?"

"If you are willing to sell it, how much will it cost?"

Lu Changsheng looked at the shopkeeper, raised his hands and asked.

The shopkeeper was a little surprised when he heard this.

But he immediately heard a message from the reception saying that Lu Changsheng had just consumed more than two thousand spirit stones and might be a foundation-building monk.

He immediately smiled and said: "If Taoist friends want it, our store will naturally be willing to sell it."

"The price of this Sanyang Pill is 3,800 spirit stones."

The shopkeeper said aloud.

"Okay, I want this Sanyang Pill."

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he nodded directly.

The price is not cheap, but it is not expensive either.

After all, prices in big stores have always been a bit more expensive.

Moreover, the price of cherished elixirs will fluctuate to a certain extent.

"Shopkeeper, I don't have enough spiritual stones, can I use talismans to offset them?"

Lu Changsheng took out three talismans and asked aloud.

There is no specific number of spiritual stones he currently has on his body.

But it’s almost three or four thousand.

In this case, it is natural to keep some spiritual stones as backup.

"Second-level low-grade talisman?"

As the shopkeeper of Danding Pavilion, he naturally has extraordinary eyesight.

He took the talisman, looked at it twice, and said politely: "The second-level talisman can naturally be deducted, but our store can only deduct 60% off the market price for this kind of talisman."

"Okay, 60% off, 60% off."

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he nodded slightly and agreed to the discounted price.

It was impossible for him to go to the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce at this time and ask the other party whether they still wanted to accept the talisman.

Immediately, he took out ten second-level talismans, deducted 2,500 spirit stones, and paid another 1,300 spirit stones.

"I don't know when I will be able to draw a second-level alchemy skill."

"Otherwise, second-level elixirs will not only be difficult to purchase, but also expensive. I will waste all my hard-earned money on this."

After putting away the Sanyang Pill and walking out of the shop, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but secretly thought.

His current talisman has a profit of twenty times.

Among the four mainstream arts of cultivating immortals, elixirs are only more profitable than making talismans.

Not only for the simple purpose of making money, but also because with the alchemy skills, I don't have to worry about the elixirs.

"Not only for elixirs, but also for formations."

"To establish your own family, you must have someone who understands formations."

"Otherwise, within a family, all the formations would be left to others, and no one would even know if there were loopholes or flaws."

Lu Changsheng thought in his mind.

I feel that if I want to build a family on my own, the journey will be long and difficult.

"Just find a bookstore and ask about Taoist matters, and that's about it."

Lu Changsheng didn't think too much about this.

Prepare to find a bookstore to learn about Tao Bing.

After walking around, Lu Changsheng saw a ‘Wanfa Bookstore’.

It turned out to be a shop selling Kung Fu books.

Immediately walked in and asked if there were any classics on Taoism.

"Tao soldiers?"

"I wonder what aspect of Taoist soldiers you want to know about Taoist soldiers?"

When the shop owner heard about Lu Changsheng's purpose, he asked in surprise.

"I have only heard a few things about Dao soldiers, and I am somewhat interested in them, so I want to learn more about them."

"As long as it's a classic in this area."

Lu Changsheng said so.

"Not many people in the world of cultivators know about the news about Tao soldiers, and there are very few classics on this subject."

"I happen to know a little bit about Taoist soldiers. If you are willing to pay for the tea with a hundred spirit stones, I am willing to help you solve your doubts and introduce you to them."

The shopkeeper said with a smile.

People like them who open bookstores don’t just sell Kung Fu books.

He also knows a lot about many things in the world of immortality.

"If fellow Taoist can help me clear up my doubts, I will naturally pay for the tea fee of these hundred spiritual stones."

Lu Changsheng took out fifty spirit stones and said.

When he was in Kowloon City, he knew that the world's high-end knowledge monopoly was very serious.

There are no relevant books on Taoism, which also means that this thing is relatively advanced and few people know about it.

Therefore, the tea fee for a hundred spirit stones is not very high.

For example, in some shops that sell news and information, one piece of news may cost tens of thousands of spiritual stones.

"Fellow Taoist, please be happy."

The shop owner smiled when he saw this.

Invite Lu Changsheng to sit down aside, pour a cup of spiritual tea, and begin to tell you the information about the soldiers.

"Actually, Dao soldiers are just a general term."

"Puppets, monsters, corpses, ghost soldiers, weapon spirits, and even monks can all be called Tao soldiers of some kind."

"But to be called Tao soldiers, most of them have a certain number of the same kind, just like soldiers in the world."

The shopkeeper picked up the tea cup, took a sip and said, "Dao soldiers can be generally divided into three types: training soldiers, refining soldiers, and magic weapons."

Lu Changsheng also held the spirit tea, took a sip, nodded slightly, and motioned for the other party to continue speaking.

"The first type of training soldiers, just like the literal meaning, is to raise people or monsters into Tao soldiers."

"However, this kind of training is not an ordinary training and raising. Instead, monks, monsters, and Tao soldiers are raised through certain skills, secrets, and military training methods."

"This enables the Taoist soldiers to not only possess the power of cultivation, but also to be able to fight and kill the enemy, and also to arrange troops in formations."

"Many formations do not require people to operate them, but most powerful formations still require a large number of people to control them."

"This is when the role of Dao soldiers comes into play."

"I heard that with some advanced techniques of training soldiers, the Taoist soldiers raised can not only form a large formation, but can also make the large formation bless themselves and increase their cultivation strength."

The shopkeeper took a sip of tea and introduced slowly.

"Can humans also cultivate Taoist soldiers?"

Lu Changsheng was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Haha, everything has animism. How strange is it that we humans can be raised as Taoist soldiers?"

The shopkeeper smiled and drank the tea in one gulp.

He continued: "Whether it is the secular world or the world of immortality, there are people who cultivate dead warriors. Taoist friends can understand this as a kind of raised Taoist soldiers."

"However, most Taoist soldiers are trained in hundreds or even thousands, and it often takes tens or hundreds of years to develop one."

"So very few forces will train human beings into Taoist soldiers."

The shopkeeper picked up the teapot and poured another cup of tea.

"Why?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"Because if you want to raise a Taoist army, it not only consumes time and energy, but also consumes a lot of resources. Only big forces have the ability to raise Taoist soldiers."

"To raise human beings into Taoist soldiers, one reason is that this behavior goes against the harmony of nature, and the other is that raising human beings into Taoist soldiers requires too many resources. In the end, the Taoist soldiers are formed, but the human lifespan is too short."

"Compared to us humans, monsters not only have longer lifespans, but also consume much fewer resources. They are perfect for raising troops."

"So if they want to raise Taoist soldiers, most forces will definitely choose to raise demonic beasts as Taoist soldiers instead of people."

The shopkeeper said aloud and filled Lu Changsheng's cup with tea.

"I see."

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he suddenly felt enlightened.

I have a general understanding of raising Taoist soldiers.

It is to train people, or monsters, into some kind of dead warriors through certain techniques.

But this kind of dead warrior not only has high combat power, but can also form formations. Whether it is fighting to kill enemies or other things, it is extraordinary.

"Excuse me, my friend, what is the situation with the weapon refining and magic weapons?"

Lu Changsheng took a sip of tea and continued to ask.

"In terms of weapon refining, such as certain special puppets, magical weapons and spirits, or some corpse training techniques, ghost raising methods, and artificially refined Tao weapons, they are all called weapon refining."

"As for magic weapons, most of them are magic weapons that can be cultivated and nurtured."

"For example, there is a very famous magic weapon in the magic world called the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. After killing people and monsters, the soul can be refined into the banner and turned into a ghost."

"Those like this are called magic soldiers."

"When most of us talk about Tao soldiers, they mostly refer to Tao soldiers who are raised. However, the monks and forces who can support Tao soldiers are very few in the world of immortality. This is why few people know about Tao soldiers."

The shop owner sipped the tea and said with a smile.

"Training soldiers? Refining weapons? Magical weapons?"

When Lu Changsheng heard about the three types of Taoist soldiers, he nodded thoughtfully.

I also have a general idea of ​​Dao soldiers.

"In that case, what kind of Taoist soldier does Jin Jia Dou Mu belong to?"

Lu Changsheng felt that his Jin Jia Dou Mu did not fit into the three Taoist weapons mentioned by the shop owner.

It's a bit like a soldier, but also a bit like a magic soldier.

He remembered that when the system was introduced, it was said that Jin Jia Dou Mu was a spiritual plant Taoist soldier.

It feels like it should be more focused on recruiting soldiers.

But he didn't care.

This shop owner is just a monk at the peak of Qi refining.

Presumably, my understanding of Tao soldiers is also limited, so it is impossible to cover them all.

Moreover, the rewards drawn from the system cannot be measured by common sense.

"Excuse me, my friend, in our Jiangguo immortal world, which forces have Tao soldiers?"

Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

"For example, Yuling Sect, one of the four major immortal sects in the Jiang Kingdom, is famous for taming spiritual beasts. There must be Taoist soldiers in the sect."

"But I don't know whether Tianjian Sect, Qingyun Sect, and Luoxia Sect have Taoist soldiers."

"Our three major immortal cities in the Jiang Kingdom, Qingluan Immortal City's Qingluan Master, have raised a group of Qingluan Taoist soldiers."

"It is rumored that two hundred years ago, Master Qingluan relied on five hundred Qingluan Taoist soldiers to shock the Jiang Kingdom and establish the Qingluan Immortal City, thus earning the title of the No. 1 casual cultivator in our Jiang Kingdom."

The shopkeeper spoke.

"Qingluan Zhenren, Qingluan Taoist soldier."

Lu Changsheng was a little surprised when he heard this.

He naturally knows about Qingluan Immortal City and has heard of Qingluan’s famous name.

But little did he know that this Qingluan Master actually became famous through a Taoist army and established the Qingluan Immortal City.

"Yes, it is said that Master Qingluan was only in the early stage of pill formation, but with the help of five hundred Qingluan Dao soldiers, he was able to challenge the late stage of pill formation head-on."

The shop owner said to Master Qingluan, with a look of yearning and respect in his eyes.

As a casual cultivator, Master Qingluan has no background, but he has condensed the true elixir.

Moreover, the establishment of Qingluan Immortal City, a holy land for casual cultivators at the border of Jiang State and Yue State, was naturally worshiped by many casual cultivators and became their goal.

"Sure enough, those who can make a name for themselves in the world of immortal cultivation, especially casual cultivators, are the templates for children of destiny."

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he also felt that Master Qingluan was very powerful.

He is currently in the early stage of foundation building, and it feels like he can barely compete with the late stage of foundation building.

And the gap in strength between the Dan Formation Stages will only be wider.

This Master Qingluan was able to defeat the early stage of pill formation and the later stage of pill formation.

"However, Qingluan Daoist's Qingluan Taoist soldiers are also top-notch Taoist soldiers among many Taoist soldiers."

"As far as I know, the Xu family, one of the three major immortal cultivating families in the Jiang Kingdom, also has a water snake Taoist army and a fire crow Taoist army, but they are far inferior to the Qingluan Taoist soldiers of Master Qingluan."

The shopkeeper continued to introduce Dao Bing.

"The Xu family controls the beasts, the water snake Taoist soldiers, and the fire crow Taoist soldiers."

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he nodded slightly.

He had heard of this beast-controlling Xu family.

One of the three major immortal cultivating families in the Jiang Kingdom.

With Master Jie Dan sitting in charge, it is a real family of immortal cultivators.

It is not comparable to the Qingzhu Lu family, Hongye Valley Chen family and other small immortal cultivating families.

Unexpectedly, this family not only has the ancestor Jiedan in charge, but also trains Tao soldiers.

However, he discovered that the shopkeeper was all about raising Taoist soldiers.

There are no Taoist weapons for refining weapons or magic weapons.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng asked Tao soldiers about weapon refining and magic weapons.

"Tao soldiers are rare and difficult to cultivate."

"Compared to training soldiers, there are more evil ways of refining soldiers. Naturally, we in the Jiang Kingdom rarely see them."

"Hundreds of years ago, the royal family of the Yue Kingdom, which borders our Jiang Kingdom, secretly started a series of wars in order to select a group of warriors who had experienced hundreds of battles on the battlefield and become a kind of Taoist soldier."

"After the major immortal sects of the Yue Kingdom learned about this matter, they directly slaughtered all the Yue Kingdom's royal family."

"As for magic weapons, they are extremely rare."

"In addition to the famous Ten Thousand Souls Banner of the Demonic Way, I heard that the Yinming Ghost Sect of the Jin Kingdom has a treasure called the Ten Thousand Ghosts Blood Pool. Watered with the blood of all spirits, it can breed a kind of Taoist weapon."

The shopkeeper said aloud and drank another cup of tea.

After saying that, he also said to Lu Changsheng: "Fellow Taoist, I only know so much about Taoist soldiers."

"Thank you fellow Taoist for clarifying my doubts and opening my eyes."

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he immediately cupped his hands.

He handed the remaining fifty spirit stones to the other party for the tea fee, then said goodbye and left.

"This soldier sounds really good."

"If I can draw a magic weapon that can breed Taoist soldiers, maybe I can also cultivate a Taoist soldier."

Lu Changsheng thought in his mind.

After learning about three types of Dao weapons, he felt that the magic weapons were the best.

Whether it is raising soldiers or refining soldiers, it is too difficult in terms of time and energy.

Only Dharma weapons can be cultivated and bred with Dharma weapons.

It is also the most likely that he can obtain it directly through the system lottery.

Without further thinking, Lu Changsheng found an inn, changed his disguise, and left Qingyunfang City directly.

"Quite smart, he knows how to disguise himself."

"But if you dare to steal a woman from me, Meng Yibai, you will have to pay the price."

Right at the entrance to Fangshi, on the high platform on the second floor.

An energetic young man in his twenties felt something. He stood up and looked outside. A golden hamster appeared in his hand and pointed at Lu Changsheng in the crowd who had just walked out of Fangshi.

Lu Changsheng was walking out of Fangshi without riding the Iron Feathered Eagle.

There is no flying magic weapon.

Instead, try to fly in the air.

After all, the biggest feature of Qi Refining Breakthrough Foundation Building is that it can fly directly in the air without the help of flying magic weapons.

Now that he has broken through the foundation building, he naturally has to try it out.

Lu Changsheng's mind moved, and he naturally rose out of thin air and flew through the air.

There are many monks coming and going next to Qingyunfang City.

Seeing Lu Changsheng flying in the air, they all moved out of the way, showing envy and respect on their faces.

Even in big cities like Qingyunfang City, there are more Qi Refining monks.

Seeing the monk flying in the air, he naturally knew that he was a foundation-building monk, and he didn't dare to get into trouble.

After all, if this foundation-building overhaul was in a bad mood and thought they were an eyesore, he would slap them to death without even having a place to cry.

"The reason why you can't fly during the Qi refining period is because your spiritual power is not enough to support your body, so you can only use flying magic weapons."

"But after breaking through the foundation, the whole person was reborn, and the mortal body was gone. The spiritual energy in the body turned into magic power, which was more than ten times more powerful, so it was able to lift the body into the air and fly in the air."

Lu Changsheng tried flying in the air and had a rough understanding of the principles.

Immediately it fell from the sky, released the Iron Feathered Eagle, and flew towards Qingzhu Mountain.

Even if a foundation-building monk can fly in the air, it is impossible to fly long distances, and there will be a certain amount of consumption.

So I still rely on mounts or magic weapons to travel.

And at the same time.

Meng Yibai walked out of Qingyunfang City and released a palm-sized golden hamster from the spirit beast bag.

"Which direction did he go."

He fed a pill and said calmly.

"Chi Chi Chi"

The golden hamster took a bite of the elixir and immediately pointed in a direction.
