Chapter 247 Secret Art Rewards
Hearing this, Tao Ling nodded and smiled, "I will not do anything I am not sure of. In the nest of the cold-blooded li, there is indeed a faint white spiritual light."
"Junior brother, you should also know that the crimson grass absorbs the energy of the moonlight of heaven and earth. At night, it will emit a snow-white halo. With such obvious characteristics, I can judge that the crimson grass grows in the nest of the cold-blooded li."
"I see." After listening, Xiao Lin did not reply to Tao Ling directly, but fell silent, as if thinking about the pros and cons.
"What else do you want, junior brother? As long as you can kill those cold-blooded li, you can not only complete the task assigned by the master, but also get many spiritual herbs and top-quality materials for refining spiritual tools. This is a deal that kills two birds with one stone." Seeing Xiao Lin's hesitation, Xiao Yishao was very anxious and said beside him.
On the contrary, Tao Ling had a very indifferent expression, looking at Xiao Lin with a smile on her lips. She seemed very sure that Xiao Lin would agree to join her team.
Xiao Lin did not express his opinion. After thinking for a moment, he looked up and looked at Tao Ling with expectation on his face.
"Junior brother, do you want to clarify in advance how to distribute the prey?" Seeing Xiao Lin's expression, the meticulous Tao Ling guessed Xiao Lin's idea at once.
Xiao Lin touched his nose, smiled, and did not answer, but the meaning was very clear.
"All the prey will be divided equally among the three of us, and then Junior Brother Xiao can choose first. What do you think?" Tao Ling said after a little thought.
"I wonder what the reward for the task issued by the master this time?" Xiao Lin nodded and asked.
"One thousand eight hundred sect contribution points, and two spiritual weapon rewards." Before Tao Ling could speak, Xiao Yishao had already spoken first.
"So much?" Even though Xiao Lin had always been very calm, he still showed a surprised expression after hearing the reward for this task. You know, when he was an alchemy boy, he helped the sect to refine the soul-enhancing pill for two years, but he only got more than 30 points of sect contribution points.
The mission of finding the crimson grass this time has a contribution value of 1,800 points. It must be said that this alone is enough to drive many foundation-building disciples in Dancao Mountain crazy, not to mention the two spiritual tools.
"I only want three star monster grasses and 1,800 contributions from the sect. All the remaining hunting spoils, including all the materials for hunting the cold-blooded li, will belong to Senior Sister Tao and Senior Brother Xiao, including the two spiritual tools. How about it?" Xiao Lin said after a moment of contemplation.
After hearing this, Tao Ling hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, let's do what Junior Brother Xiao said."
Xiao Yishao looked at Xiao Lin with some confusion. The contribution from the sect is important, after all, it can be exchanged for a lot of cultivation resources, but the cold-blooded li and star monster grass, each of which is extremely expensive if put outside.
Once the trip successfully achieves its goal, he and Senior Sister Tao can earn at least tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, not to mention two spirit tools. In Dancao Mountain, if you want to exchange a spirit tool with sect contribution, you need at least 1,200 sect contribution points.
In comparison, what he and Senior Sister Tao gained is more substantial.
They naturally don't know Xiao Lin's purpose. In Dancao Mountain, the sect contribution points can be exchanged for spiritual pills, materials, exercises and other cultivation resources, and the most important function is to exchange for magical skills.
It is rumored that Dancao Mountain has three major secrets. As for which three major secrets, except for those high-ranking Jindan cultivators and the only Yuanying ancestor of Dancao Mountain, very few foundation-building disciples can pass on the secrets.
Because in order to pass on the secrets, for foundation-building disciples, three conditions must be met.
The first is to have the identity of a true disciple.
The second is to have a realm of at least the middle stage of foundation-building.
The third is to have two thousand sect contribution points.
If the above three conditions are met, you can apply to the sect, enter the stone hall behind the Cuixia Hall, and choose a secret technique to practice.
With Xiao Lin's current realm and many means of dealing with enemies, he is not interested in ordinary spiritual tools. For him, at this stage, instead of pursuing those external objects, it is better to save time and practice hard to strive to reach the late stage of foundation building as soon as possible, or even the great perfection of foundation building.
The only thing that Xiao Lin is very interested in in Dancao Mountain is the three secret techniques, but even his master Su Qingyun has no right to teach these three secret techniques.
If he can really complete this task, he will be very close to the 2,000 sect contribution points. At that time, at most he will go to the Merit Hall to take a few more tasks, collect the sect contribution points, and then he can apply to the sect to practice secret techniques.
Xiao Yishao obviously doesn't care about these, he only thinks about some practical benefits, but Tao Ling knows it well, so she hesitated for a long time, as if she was weighing the gains and losses.
However, after thinking about it, Tao Ling still agreed, which surprised Xiao Lin.
However, Xiao Lin could understand Tao Ling's idea after thinking about it. After all, although the secret arts were precious, they mostly played some auxiliary roles, just like the Qingyan Spirit Fire that he practiced. If it were not for the help of the Big Fireball Technique and the Three Elements Magic Flag, it would be difficult to play a key role in turning the tide of the battle.
In comparison, it would be more practical to refine a few more spiritual tools and sell more materials in exchange for some spiritual stones.
Moreover, as long as you enter the Jindan realm, according to the rules of Dancao Mountain, you can also enter the Secret Art Stone Hall and choose a secret art to practice.
In Tao Ling's opinion, it is better to exchange for more cultivation resources and improve one's realm and combat power as soon as possible, rather than practicing a secret art that is not sure whether it is practical.
The two people have different ideas, mainly because they have different needs on the road of cultivation. Xiao Lin is now rich and powerful, and he is not short of spiritual tools. He even has powerful weapons such as Qingyan Spirit Fire and Soul Devouring Fire Gu.
His combat power has been raised to an extremely terrifying level. Even if he encounters a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of foundation building, Xiao Lin is not inferior.
So for Xiao Lin now, what can attract him in Dancao Mountain is nothing more than the higher-level third-level spiritual pill formula and some magical secrets.
After reaching an agreement on the distribution of the hunt, the three people are very happy. After agreeing on the departure date, Xiao Lin said goodbye and left the spiritual field on the back mountain of Qinghuo Peak.
After leaving Qinghuo Peak, Xiao Lin went to the Merit Hall again and anonymously posted several tasks to find rare materials. He spent nearly 20,000 low-grade spiritual stones at once, which made him feel really distressed for a long time.
The reason why Xiao Lin issued these tasks of finding materials was mainly to gather the auxiliary materials for refining the "Sky Escape Mirror", which was the only refining method of a magic weapon he had at this stage.
As long as he could enter the Jindan realm one day, he could start to refine his own life magic weapon. In the process of consulting Su Qingyun, Xiao Lin also specifically asked about the use of magic weapons by Jindan cultivators.
From Su Qingyun, Xiao Lin knew that Jindan cultivators usually did not refine more than three sets of life magic weapons. The reason why it was a set, not a piece, was mainly because Jindan cultivators usually chose to refine a set of magic weapons to cooperate with their own skills to form a formation to attack the enemy in order to increase the power of the magic weapon.
In a sense, this kind of set of magic weapons condensed into a formation can only be regarded as one piece, which does not hinder its effect of warming in the Dantian.
If a Jindan cultivator refines too many magic weapons, it will seriously affect the effect of the mana nourishment in the Dantian. Once the cultivator can go further and enter the Yuanying stage one day, the quality of the magic weapon may not be able to keep up with the growth of cultivation, causing the magic weapon to become a useless existence.
Of course, for Jindan cultivators, the way to improve combat power is not only magic weapons, but also some magical skills to improve their combat power, and of course they can also control spiritual treasures.
The so-called spiritual treasures are usually the life magic weapons of the cultivators after years of idleness. They will absorb the spiritual tools between heaven and earth and cultivate themselves. Once consciousness is born, they can form spiritual treasures.
Spiritual treasures can be refined and controlled by cultivators, and most of them are cultivated from magic weapons, so they are more powerful than ordinary magic weapons. The only disadvantage is that once the spiritual treasure is taken away by others, others can also control and use it.
Unlike magic weapons, as long as the owner does not die, others cannot refine and use them, and there is only one way to completely destroy them.
But compared to magic weapons, spiritual treasures are rarer, and usually only appear in the caves where some ancient monks passed away or in some ancient ruins.
Above magic weapons and spiritual treasures, there is another kind of magic weapon, that is, the innate spiritual treasure. From the literal meaning, we can know that this kind of magic weapon is mostly born naturally from heaven and earth, and usually contains a trace of the original energy, which is extremely powerful.
Generally, if a cultivator can own an innate spiritual treasure, it is not a problem to kill people above their level. However, owning an innate spiritual treasure also means that they have to bear great risks. After all, even those great monks at the peak of the Nascent Soul are eager to get this kind of magic weapon.
Therefore, for a Jindan-stage cultivator, owning an innate spiritual treasure may not be a good thing. Once exposed, it is likely that the cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage will kill and rob the treasure.
The reason why Xiao Lin is more enthusiastic about this "Sky Escape Mirror" is mainly because this magic weapon can condense its own cold flame and turn it into a blue flame spiritual light, greatly enhancing the power of his secret technique.
So after considering it, Xiao Lin has started to collect materials for refining this "Sky Escape Mirror". After all, he already has the two main rare materials for refining the Sky Escape Mirror, Gangyin and Secret Copper.
After issuing the task, Xiao Lin returned to the cave and continued to practice in seclusion.
More than half a month later, Xiao Lin walked out of the cave where he practiced, sacrificed the Bingluan Sword, and turned into a huge dark green escape light that wrapped him up, then rushed into the sky and shot towards the distance. Soon, the escape light disappeared between heaven and earth.
