Chapter 164: Becoming a Little Famous and Moving to a New Home (Subscription Request)

An open space appeared before him.

It is about an acre and a half in size, and has extremely low spiritual energy, roughly the concentration of a first-order low-grade.

The ground is black soil. This black soil contains a small amount of spiritual energy and can only grow first-order low-grade spiritual plants.

Other than that, there's not much else.

Obviously this is just the most common space realm.

Everything must be put into operation later.

However, this was extremely satisfying for Zhou Ling.

Even if there is nothing in this space realm, it is still a second-level mid-level space realm, and it will be expanded in the future.

As for what level can be achieved, it depends on your own investment.

For example, if the spiritual energy in a space is thin, to increase the spiritual energy, you need to incorporate mid-grade spiritual stones into it.

There are also transformations of spiritual lands, rivers, etc.

All this depends on the follow-up plan.

"Currently, growing spiritual rice is the most cost-effective."

“But I don’t have much experience in planting!”

Zhou Ling's consciousness withdrew from the spiritual ring, thinking to himself.

"You can also plan it as a weapon refining workshop. You can refine some puppets in the future, use the puppets to make tools, and draw your own imprints."

Zhou Ling continued to think.

However, the investment required to establish a workshop is much more complicated than simply planting spiritual grains.

After all, planting a spiritual valley is relatively easy as long as you move the spiritual soil and enhance the spiritual energy.

The workshop requires underground fires, furnaces, materials, weapon refiners, etc., which is far more complicated than the Lingtian.

“Or half of it is planting spiritual fields and half of it is building workshops.”

Zhou Ling was thinking in his mind.

Of course, there is no rush now, we will slowly plan and develop next.

Then he handed the space spirit world to Wang Xin and said with a smile, "Xin'er, can you see if you can set up a spirit gathering array on this spirit ring?"

If there is no spirit gathering array, just relying on the investment of spirit stones to enhance the spiritual energy in the space inside will be a huge expense.

"This kind of spirit gathering array requires the arrangement of spatial attributes."

"However, the spatial attribute spirit gathering array is a second-level array. I can't arrange it yet. It may take some time!"

After checking the space spirit ring, Wang Xin said with some embarrassment.

"Well, there's no rush. When you can arrange it, I'll arrange it!"

Zhou Ling nodded and said.

Then, he picked up the other two jade slips and looked at them.

Soon Zhou Ling's consciousness withdrew from the jade slip.

The two jade slips are "Analysis of Second-order Imprints" and "Summary of Miscellaneous Studies".

"Analysis of Second-Level Imprints" records hundreds of common second-level imprints, with different attributes and grades.

It also comes with an analysis of the imprint, which is obviously very suitable for Zhou Ling.

"Miscellaneous Studies" contains records of more than a dozen minor cultivation techniques such as spiritual planting, wine-making, and puppetry.

Although there are many of them, most of them are simple summaries. It is not easy to practice to master them.

But it is also useful for Zhou Ling.

If you have free time, learn more about it.

Especially puppetry and brewing.

Puppetry is an auxiliary technique he plans to practice, and if he understands the brewing technique, he can give it to his mother in the future if he doesn't need it.

After looking at the two jade slips, Zhou Ling turned his attention to the jade identity plaque.

This is his status as a Taoist temple foundation seed.

In the future, with this jade token, you can get discounts on meals and exchange for materials.

There are still fifty points each month.

Holding the jade token, Zhou Ling looked happy.

"Xin'er, let's go check out this new monastery this afternoon!"

Zhou Ling said to Wang Xin again.

The chapel that won the award for being the leader in the foundation building seed assessment was located in the southern area of ​​the Taoist temple, about one mile away from the current dormitory.

The concentration of spiritual energy there has reached the level of second-order high-grade spiritual veins, and it also has four attributes.

Wang Xin nodded.

Zhou Lingxuan was about to put the things back into the storage bag, and was planning to go out for a nice meal with Wang Xin to celebrate.

The sound transmission jade on his body vibrated slightly.

Zhou Ling immediately took out the sound transmission jade and injected spiritual power into it.

"Zhou Ling, can you settle down during these days?"

"I want to build a second-level Thunder Gang heavy sword here. I wonder if you can refine it over there?"

Zhou Ling heard the message from He Zijian.

He immediately replied, "Everything is fine here. I can give the second-order Thunder Gang Epee a try, but the materials are hard to find!"

Now, with my level of inscriptions, there shouldn't be much problem in refining the second-level Thunder Gang Sword Seal.

Taoist temples also have ways to make thunder sword instruments.

However, the heavy sword in He Zijian's hand requires far more materials than an ordinary spiritual sword.

The materials alone are valuable.

"Don't worry about the materials, I've already prepared them, you just need to be able to build them!"

"Tomorrow is the holiday. Let's go out and meet. Then we can discuss it carefully and try to build the Lei Gang Sword as soon as possible."

"I want to use it in next year's true disciple assessment!"

After a while, the sound jade's green light flashed again, and He Zijian's voice sounded.

"Okay, let's meet then and discuss it carefully!"

Zhou Ling said with a smile.

Then he murmured again, "True disciple assessment?"

These days, he mainly focused on refining the sword imprint, and didn't know much about the affairs in the Taoist Academy.

I don’t know if Xuanyuan Taoist Academy has any true disciple assessment.

"Xin'er, let's go, let's have a good lunch!"

“We’ll order whatever you like to eat!”

Zhou Ling said to Wang Xin with a smile again.

The cafeteria also has many exquisite spiritual food pastries, but they are quite expensive.

Zhou Ling felt that it was not a good deal. He didn't usually buy more, but only bought some occasionally.

"okay!"

Wang Xin Kazilan blinked her big eyes with a smile on her face.

The two immediately left the dormitory and headed to the cafeteria.

"This year's foundation seed assessment leader is actually a disciple at the seventh level of Qi training!"

"Zhou Ling, a casual cultivator from the second-grade Lingxia Immortal City, is really shocking!"

"A low-grade spiritual root, a disciple of a casual cultivator, is actually able to refine a low-grade spiritual weapon. This boy has some incredible luck!"

······．

"Brother Ling, you are really famous now!"

As soon as she arrived at the cafeteria, she heard people talking, Wang Xin said to Zhou Ling with a smile.

Zhou Ling also scratched his head, feeling no joy in his heart.

He has no interest in Taoist celebrities, he is mainly interested in rewards.

"Zhou Ling!"

"Fellow Daoist Zhou!"

"Junior Brother Zhou!"

As soon as he entered the cafeteria, many disciples took the initiative to greet him.

Zhou Ling also smiled and returned the greetings one by one.

"Junior Brother Zhou, I am Chu Hong from the Spiritual Planting Department. I wonder if Junior Brother is interested in joining our Spiritual Planting Department!"

At this time, a rather tall young man came over and said to Zhou Ling.

"Spiritual Planting Department?"

Zhou Ling couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. When they arrived at the Taoist Academy, the senior sister who greeted them introduced that the Taoist Academy had a Taoist club formed by some disciples.

The Alchemy Department and the Weapon Refining Department mainly allow disciples to communicate with each other on a daily basis.

However, it seems inappropriate for him, an inscription master, to join the Spiritual Planting Department.

He immediately shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Chu, I haven't considered joining any Taoist club yet!"

"Okay, as long as Junior Brother Zhou is interested, remember to contact me then!"

Chu Hong said with a smile.

Zhou Ling nodded.

The two of them said goodbye immediately.

When buying the spiritual food, Zhou Ling was even more happy to have the identity of a foundation-building seed.

All spiritual foods are 30% off and can also be purchased through Tao points.

Of course, Tao points are extremely precious, and it is naturally impossible for Zhou Ling to use them to purchase spiritual food.

But even though it was a 30% discount, he wanted to celebrate this meal.

The purchases were all high-quality spiritual food, and there were also ten pounds of second-level animal meat.

It also cost more than thirty spiritual stones.

"Brother Ling!"

When they packed several full food boxes, they met Sun Dajie again.

"Let's go eat together!"

Seeing that the food box in Sun Dajie's hand was still empty, Zhou Ling smiled and waved.

"I'm so hungry!"

Sun Dajie was not polite and said with a smile on his face.

Then the three returned to the dormitory.

Zhou Ling took out the food box and placed it on the wooden table.

Six large plates of spiritual food were filled to the brim.

There are also pastries and spiritual vegetables and fruits that Wang Xin likes.

"Brother Ling, I wish you to become the leader of foundation building seeds!"

Sun Dajie filled Zhou Ling's bowl with spiritual wine, then picked up the wine bowl and congratulated Zhou Ling.

"It's just a fluke!"

Zhou Ling picked up the wine bowl, had sex with Sun Dajie, and said modestly.

Afterwards, the two chatted while eating.

"Brother Ling, which Taoist club do you plan to join next?"

After taking a sip of spiritual wine, Sun Dajie asked Zhou Ling again.

"Do I have to join the Dao Club?"

Zhou Ling was slightly stunned and asked.

He now wants to practice the "Five Elements Qianyang True Secret", which requires a lot of time, but he has no time to waste on these interpersonal interactions.

"Brother Ling, all Taoist tribes will definitely compete for talents like you."

"And there are many benefits to joining the Taoist Department."

"Be able to exchange cultivation experience and resources with other disciples."

Sun Dajie introduced to Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling nodded, roughly understanding what was going on with these so-called Taoists.

However, he didn't show much interest and asked again, "Does the Taoist Academy have true disciples?"

Upon hearing Zhou Ling's inquiry, Sun Dajie drank up all the spiritual wine in the pottery bowl, then picked up the wine jar and poured wine for Zhou Ling.

Then he said, "True disciples are generally at the ninth level of qi training, and disciples who are preparing to build foundations compete for spots."

"The Taoist Academy only has twelve places a year."

"As long as you become a true disciple, you are eligible to exchange high-level foundation-building pills from the Taoist Academy. And after building the foundation, you have the opportunity to be accepted as a direct disciple by the golden pill and Nascent Soul monks!"

"That identity is completely different!"

"As long as it is a ground-level foundation-building pill, the probability of foundation-building can be increased by at least 10%."

······．

Hearing Sun Dajie's introduction, Zhou Ling couldn't help but feel a little excited.

My current identity as a Foundation Establishment Seed can be exchanged for Foundation Establishment Pills, and of course, I can also exchange for Earth-level Foundation Establishment Pills.

However, for general foundation-building pills, true disciples have the priority to exchange them.

Moreover, the number of earth-grade foundation-building pills refined by the Taoist Academy every year is limited.

As for heavenly products, they are extremely rare.

Generally, after being refined, it will be reserved by the higher-ups of the Taoist Academy, and it is impossible for it to fall into the hands of disciples.

It is already very good to have a ground-level foundation-building pill.

However, it seems that it is still too early for Zhou Ling to become a true disciple.

After all, the true disciples are facing all the disciples of the Taoist academy and need to reach the perfection of Qi training.

Only then are you eligible to register for the assessment.

The true biography assessment is also conducted in June every year.

Still nine months to go.

I am only at the seventh level of Qi training now.

It is very difficult to reach the ninth level of Qi training in nine months!

Zhou Ling thought in his heart.

He would probably not be able to participate in the assessment of the true disciples next year.

"Brother Ling, in order to exchange for the earth-grade foundation-building pill, in addition to the true disciples, a large amount of Dao points are required, which is not something that ordinary disciples can earn in a short period of time."

"Many brothers who have stayed in the Taoist Academy for five or six years cannot save enough Dao points."

At this time, Sun Dajie spoke again.

He also knew about Zhou Ling's low-grade spiritual roots, so if the grade of the foundation-building pill is higher, the more help it will be to him in building his foundation.

Zhou Ling nodded, and now his advantage of getting the first place in the foundation-building seed was reflected.

Fifty Dao points per month, saving one or two years should be enough to exchange for Dao points for an earth-grade foundation-building pill, right?

Of course, if it is not enough, wait until the cultivation level is improved, and then go to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to take on the Taoist Academy tasks and earn Dao points.

Then, he asked Sun Dajie about some other things.

Sun Dajie is known as the know-it-all in the Taoist temple. He often comes to Zhou Ling for free meals. In order to eat with peace of mind, he also hopes that Zhou Ling will ask him more questions.

[You are absorbing the blood of monsters, physical sublimation +1, blood +1, one yang true body +1]

······.

[You are absorbing spiritual power, spiritual affinity +1, fire, gold, wood, earth attribute spiritual power +5]

In the afternoon, after Zhou Ling sorted out, he went directly to the Jingshe in the southern area of ​​the Taoist temple.

What surprised Zhou Ling was that this Jingshe was a small courtyard structure.

The area was not large, with two rooms and a small hall.

It can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

The most important point is that the spiritual energy is abundant, and it has reached the concentration of the second-level upper-grade spiritual vein, and it is also four-attribute.

There are many other Jingshes around. After Zhou Ling asked, he knew that these were dormitories where true disciples lived.

Only true disciples are eligible to apply to live in such a Jingshe with abundant spiritual energy and relatively independent.

However, the monthly rent here is not cheap, and it can only be paid in Dao points.

Fifteen Dao points a month.

Fortunately, Zhou Ling already has fifty Dao points.

After completing the check-in procedures, Zhou Ling also asked Wang Xin to move in with him, since there were two rooms anyway.

Wang Xin naturally had no objection.

Then the two began to clean up the courtyard.

Move in directly at night.

······.

[You are absorbing spiritual power, spiritual affinity +1, fire, gold, wood, earth attribute spiritual power +5]

[You are practicing the "Five Elements Qianyang True Art", natural talent +1, fire, gold, wood, earth attribute spiritual power +3, "Five Elements Qianyang True Art" proficiency +3]

The next day, on the wooden bed, Zhou Ling opened his eyes, his eyes bright.

The effect of practicing in the new abode was indeed immediate.

It was more than doubled than before, and it was four Dao attributes.

"But this water attribute spiritual energy is still a big problem!"

Zhou Ling murmured with a light breath.

Now he could only use the water-attributed medium-grade spiritual stone.

But he only had two water-attributed medium-grade spiritual stones in his hand.

Then he held a water-attributed medium-grade spiritual stone, practiced the technique, and quickly absorbed and refined it.

The rich water-attributed spiritual power quickly flowed into the water meridian circulation.

[You are absorbing spiritual power, spiritual affinity +1, water-attributed spiritual power +5]

······.

After an incense stick, Zhou Ling opened his eyes, and the medium-grade spiritual stone in his hand had become dim.

However, Zhou Ling felt that the water spiritual power in his body was obviously more abundant.

Then he got up and left the room.

Today is a ten-day holiday, and he and He Zijian agreed to meet at the gate of the Taoist temple at 10:00.

Now after breakfast, it will be almost time.

And Wang Xin had already gotten up early and was feeding the rock rat and the golden fire crow with dried animal meat.

"Xin'er, let's go to eat!"

Then, the two left the abode and went to the cafeteria.
