Chapter 119 Opportunity [Updated 3/3]
After leaving the Tianshu Pavilion, Li Lan didn't rush back to his residence but instead went to Chongshan Fang City.
Despite learning from Senior Brother Fan that completing sect missions through refining pills was extremely demanding, Li Lan still wanted to give it a try.
He didn't intend to refine the pills himself but planned to have the Spirit Bean Soldiers do it.
Actually, he had already made preliminary attempts back in the Immortal Trace Valley.
However, at that time, Li Lan was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and with insufficient Divine Sense strength, it was unrealistic to have the Spirit Bean Soldiers autonomously refine pills.
But now, since Li Lan had broken through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, his Divine Sense strength was no longer what it used to be.
Perhaps now he could cultivate and practice while simultaneously dividing his attention to control the Spirit Bean Soldiers in refining pills.
He came to this Chongshan Fang City to see how much the most basic Qi Refining Peiyuan Pills materials cost and whether it was worth the try.
As for the pill formula for Qi Refining Peiyuan Pills, Li Lan had already obtained it from Miao Chenfeng, so he didn't need to purchase it from the Tianshu Pavilion again.
Compared to Taoyuan Mountain Range and Feixue River, Chongshan Fang City was far superior in terms of scale and quality of spiritual materials.
Those spiritual plants and materials that were rare and difficult to find in Taoyuan Mountain Range and Feixue River could be easily found here.
In the past three months, Li Lan had easily gathered all the materials.
He successfully refined two sets of Earthbound Thousand Machine Diagrams and three Qinghao Burning Cloud Talismans for emergencies.
In addition to formations and talismans, he had also taken a fancy to many effective术法 (spell techniques) in Chongshan Fang City.
But unfortunately, after this round of purchasing and spending, Li Lan's meager reserve of spirit stones was almost depleted, and he really had no extra resources to buy other valuable items.
It was precisely because of this that he wanted to complete some sect missions as soon as possible to exchange for some spirit stones to live on.
However, what Li Lan didn't expect was that these major sects were even more terrifying than he had previously imagined, completely to the point of treating registered disciples as livestock to be exploited.
After discovering that the materials for refining Peiyuan Pills were not expensive, even exceptionally cheap, Li Lan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He immediately returned to his residence, preparing to try refining pills with the Spirit Bean Soldiers while cultivating.
Li Lan's cave was, as usual, opened in a remote corner on the periphery of Chongshan Territory.
He didn't desperately squeeze towards the direction of the main peak like other registered disciples.
Although the spiritual energy here was not as rich as that around the middle-grade spiritual vein of the main peak, it was already quite remarkable compared to the outside world, and it was also clean and safe.
Once he encountered sudden disasters such as the destruction of the sect, he could also have sufficient time to respond.
In addition, living here alone, Li Lan didn't have to worry about the possibility of his many secrets being inadvertently exposed.
As soon as he stepped into the cave, a strange light flashed in Li Lan's eyes.
He keenly noticed that the seemingly messy rocks placed in front of his cave had been moved.
This indicated that someone had been here during his absence.
Li Lan didn't show any reaction on the surface, but he had secretly raised his vigilance in his heart.
However, he soon relaxed.
A fiery red message talisman floated out of the cave, and Su Hongying's crisp voice sounded from within.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li, for giving my younger brother the Qi Refining Peiyuan Pills. Junior sister is grateful.
Hongying has also prepared some small gifts here, and I hope Fellow Daoist Li will not decline."
In a corner of the cave, a storage bag was quietly placed.
Opening it, it was filled with several basic talismans such as Swift Travel Talismans and Water Control Talismans, and at the bottom, there was also a low-grade spirit stone.
Pfft!
This originally reckless little genius of the Su family has been in Guangji Sect for so many years, and in addition to his cultivation realm, his understanding of human relationships has also improved a lot.
Li Lan had previously seen that Su Pengfei hadn't started cultivating yet, so he specially prepared some Peiyuan Pills and other cultivation resources left over from his early Qi Refining stage and secretly sent them to him.
Although Su Pengfei was backed by a loose cultivator family and might not like his things.
But regardless of whether the other party used them or not, the necessary human relationships still had to be maintained.
As a loose cultivator with no background or backing, before having absolute hard power, he had to be smooth and try to befriend others as much as possible in order to go further in this world of cultivation.
Li Lan waved his hand and put away the things in the storage bag.
He was about to return to the cave to cultivate.
At this moment, a faint purple message talisman flew over from the horizon.
As soon as Li Lan took it, Qian Zibin's joyful laughter came from it.
"Haha, Senior Brother Li, you will never guess what new sect mission the Tianshu Pavilion has released!
This matter is enough to solve your urgent needs. Please come to Tianshu Peak to meet up as soon as you receive it, Senior Brother!"
Li Lan frowned slightly upon seeing this.
After re-arranging the rock trap around the cave, he turned around and drove the flying boat back to Tianshu Peak.
Inside the Tianshu Pavilion.
Many registered disciples received the news and came admiringly. At this time, it was already overcrowded.
All the disciples' faces were filled with excitement.
Even if they haven't eaten pork, they have still seen pigs run.
Having mixed in the world of cultivation for many years, how could these disciples not know what this brand-new sect mission meant?
Mining spirit stone mines seems to be doing hard labor, but in reality, it is possible to feel the abundance of spiritual energy in the Grade A cultivation cave of the low-grade spiritual vein for free.
This is undoubtedly a great opportunity for cultivators of any realm.
At this moment, Li Lan was also in the crowd.
However, his expression was not very good.
"Senior Brother Fan, why did the sect mission of refining pills be completely canceled shortly after I left?
Could it be that my Guangji Sect has reached the point where it doesn't lack any pills?"
The loose flesh on Senior Brother Fan's face kept shaking, and he smiled:
"Of course, we still lack them. If Junior Brother accidentally obtains pills outside, just hand them over to the sect.
Fan will purchase them at the market price and will not treat Junior Brother unfairly.
It's just that handing over pills now is no longer counted as a sect mission."
The corner of Li Lan's eyes twitched slightly.
This was as good as saying nothing.
The other party did not explain why the sect mission of refining pills was suddenly canceled.
It couldn't be that they had a sudden burst of conscience and didn't want to exploit these registered disciples with this, right?
Li Lan was very sure in his heart that something major must have happened to cause this.
However, even with his deep thoughts, he couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.
"Hey, I've said it before, opportunities don't come twice.
Little Li, don't be discouraged. It's fine if you didn't seize the opportunity to refine pills.
Isn't there still another opportunity to serve the sect?
You are already at the seventh level of Qi Refining, even if you haven't stepped into a spiritual vein, you should have some understanding.
I don't need to say more about the benefits of mining spirit stone mines, right?
How about it?
Do you want to consider going for it?"
