Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just say that the cave where Wu Tao lives now is one of the luxurious caves at the highest point of the mountain.
Compared to the caves where other outer disciples of the Taiyi Immortal Sect live, the aura is extremely rich.
And these were all done by Wu Tao himself with punches and kicks during these years.
The Taiyi Immortal Sect determines its status based on strength, and competition is fierce. The strong can obtain more resources, while the weak have very few resources.
The strong stay strong, the weak get weaker!
This is the true and cruel law!
…
Time passed slowly, and another month passed.
According to the usual practice, Wu Tao, as an outer disciple of Taiyi Immortal Sect, will be supplied with ten low-level spiritual stones in the sect every month.
"I haven't received this month's supply yet."
Wu Tao came to the Elder Wealth in the Outer Gate Hall.
"Identity record: Male, Wu Tao! He has been in Taiyi Immortal Sect for twenty-one years. He is twenty-four years old this year. He is at the thirteenth level of Qi training. He is an elite disciple of the outer sect and will be supplied with ten low-level spiritual stones per month."
The elder of the outer sect, who looked like an old man, was sitting on a chair made of thousand-year-old golden nanmu. He looked at the jade slip in his hand and said in a routine manner with no expression on his face.
…
Wu Tao took the ten low-level spiritual stones with both hands, put them into his storage bag, and nodded slightly to express his gratitude to the outer sect wealth elder.
In the Taiyi Immortal Sect, except for the ancestors of the Zifu, Taishang elders, and inner and outer sect elders, they are roughly divided into two groups, the outer sect disciples and the inner sect disciples.
The outer disciples are generally monks in the Qi training stage, while the inner disciples are generally monks in the foundation building stage.
The outer disciples are provided with ten spiritual stones every month, while the inner disciples are provided with one medium-grade spiritual stone every month.
…
"In the world of cultivating immortals, one hundred low-grade spiritual stones can be exchanged for one middle-grade spiritual stone. And one hundred medium-grade spiritual stones can be exchanged for one high-grade spiritual stone. Finally, one hundred high-grade spiritual stones can be exchanged for one top-grade spiritual stone.
stone."
In the Taiyi Immortal Sect, apart from the supply of ten spiritual stones every month, the outer disciples need to support themselves with all other training resources.
After receiving this month's supply, Wu Tao was ready to set off to a monster forest to hunt monsters in exchange for some spiritual stones.
The cost of ten low-level spiritual stones per month is acceptable for outer disciples between the first and fifth levels of Qi training.
But for monks like Wu Tao, who is at the thirteenth level of Qi training, especially those who are taking the path of dual cultivation of law and body, it is just a drop in the bucket and not enough at all.
Especially for some precious elixirs used to speed up cultivation and achieve breakthroughs, they can easily cost dozens or hundreds of spiritual stones.
An ordinary low-level five-element talisman requires five or six spiritual stones.
In order to buy this top-notch magic weapon that could match his physical and mental dual cultivation skills, he spent almost all of his wealth accumulated over the past twenty years on it, and finally paid one thousand, five hundred and eighty-nine.
For the price of a piece of spiritual stone, I bought a special top-notch magic weapon called the "Armor-Breaking Dragon Cone."
Just this top-level magic weapon made Wu Tao completely impoverished. For several years in a row, life was so tight that he almost didn't turn over.
…
As for those wealthy descendants of the big Immortal Cultivation Clan, they not only have a lot of high-quality magic weapons in their hands, but also take one or two precious elixirs, which is equivalent to the income of an ordinary Qi-training monk in a few years.
"Ten low-level spiritual stones..."
Wu Tao took a deep breath. Now that he had finished all the spiritual stones in his storage bag, he only had three hundred and fifty spiritual stones left.
If it were in the past, as long as he accumulated a little more spiritual stones, he would immediately buy elixirs to enhance his spiritual power, in order to further his own realm.
But this time, he didn't do that.
Because he has reached the peak of the Qi training period, the next step is to prepare spiritual stones in advance to purchase foundation-building pills and break through the foundation-building period.
…
When the Qi training period reaches the foundation building period, if you pick one in a hundred, it is a dragon gate. If you jump over it, you will become an inner disciple of the Taiyi Immortal Sect. Not only will your status be greatly improved, but you will also have a lifespan of two hundred years.
Taiyi Immortal Sect has tens of thousands of disciples in the outer sect who are in the Qi training stage, but there are only a few thousand or two thousand inner sect disciples above the foundation building stage.
Wu Tao piloted the low-level flying magic weapon Qingye Flying Sword, flying in the southwest direction.
After flying several hundred miles, Wu Tao walked into a Fangshi weapon-refining shop within the area of Taiyi Xianmen's residence.
…
"Uncle Master, how can I sell this golden python bow?"
Wu Tao entered the Weapon Refining Assistant and spent a long time choosing, and finally fell in love with a high-grade magic weapon "Golden Python Bow" hanging on the wall.
"The top-grade magical weapon, the Golden Python Bow, has strong penetrating power and wide practicality. It can continuously fire metal arrows. The price is four hundred spiritual stones."
The martial arts uncle introduced with a smile.
As a disciple of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, this martial arts uncle's attitude towards Wu Tao is still very good compared to other customers.
"Four hundred spiritual stones?"
Wu Tao frowned slightly when he heard this. He was silent for a while and asked tentatively: "Uncle, can it be a little cheaper?"
When the martial arts uncle heard this, he shook his head and explained: "No, because the rules of our sect are very strict. However, if the spirit stones are not enough for you, nephew, you can use other valuable things.
mortgage."
"Three hundred and fifty spiritual stones plus a medium-grade magic weapon. This is the maximum price I can pay for this golden python bow."
Wu Tao was very straightforward and directly reported his bottom line, with sincerity in his eyes.
"Three hundred and fifty spiritual stones plus a medium-grade magic weapon, I'm afraid this is a bit small..."
The martial arts uncle seemed a little embarrassed, but he might have seen Wu Tao's bottom line and wanted to sell Wu Tao a favor. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, it's a deal."
"Thank you, uncle."
When Wu Tao heard this, he smiled slightly and cupped his hands, showing a hint of gratitude.
But in this way, Wu Tao truly and completely became a pauper, without even a single spiritual stone in his body.
At this moment, Wu Tao's storage bag was much cleaner than his own face.
…
This is also the reason why Wu Tao has never raised a protective spirit beast of his own for so many years.
After all, for daily practice, my life is very tight. How can I have any extra spirit stones to raise a spirit beast that competes with me for resources?
"You should earn more spiritual stones as soon as possible, otherwise you will really not be able to survive this day in the future."
Wu Tao murmured to himself, and then immediately ran away with his weapon and left Fang City, where Taiyi Immortal Sect was stationed.
After flying with his weapon for five or six hours in one breath, Wu Tao finally arrived at the Tieling Canyon where he had often hunted monsters before.
Tieling Canyon is a large canyon in a remote place on the edge of the Qiongcang Mountains. Its scope is not small, and it even stretches thousands of miles across the surrounding area.
Compared to the surrounding areas, there are many ferocious monsters in the Tieling Canyon where the spiritual energy is relatively strong. However, most of them are in the Qi training stage. Only when you go deep into the Tieling Canyon, you will occasionally encounter those in the foundation building stage and above.
Monster.
Compared to Wu Tao, the risk is not too great.
…
The purpose of Wu Tao coming here is actually very simple, just to hunt some monsters and earn some extra money from spiritual stones!
Monsters absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to strengthen their bodies. The fur, teeth, bones, inner elixirs, etc. on their bodies can be used to refine various magic weapons, magic weapons, elixirs, talismans, etc., which are very valuable.
Philippines.
Wu Tao has been doing these things of hunting monster beasts and obtaining spiritual stones for a long time, and he already has his own experienced experience and plans in his heart.
…
In the next second, Wu Tao turned into an afterimage and rushed into the Tieling Canyon.
"bump!"
After arriving in the dense forest, with a tap of his toes, he immediately leapt onto a thousand-year-old tree hundreds of meters high.
Standing on top of this ancient tree not only frees Wu Tao from the threat of monsters on the ground, but also gives Wu Tao a good visual advantage.
Taking advantage of the high terrain, Wu Tao began to pay careful attention to the surrounding environment like a seasoned hunter.
Eyes, ears, nose...he used all the five human senses at this moment.
…
After a period of time, suddenly, Wu Tao's eyes flashed with light. He immediately turned around and looked closely at his side and behind.
From that place, there came one after another the sound of heavy feet hitting the ground, and the sound coming from there was extremely heavy.
Based on my previous experience in hunting monsters, it seems to be large monsters such as bulls, monster tigers, giant bears, pigs and leopards.
The next second, a dark giant stretched out from the dense jungle branches and leaves.
It turned out to be a brown-black wild boar-like monster that was over one foot tall.
"The hunt has begun."
Wu Tao took a deep breath and slowly pulled the string of the golden python bow in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
The bow string vibrated, and the golden arrow shot out of the air, passed through a distance of several hundred meters, and accurately pierced the left eye of the brown-black wild boar monster.
"bump!"
The brown-black wild boar monster with its left eye blinded began to attack everything around it crazily. The severe pain caused it to lose its true nature.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
This brown-black wild boar monster struggled for a while before Wu Tao shot it through many vital points with a golden python bow. In the end, it bled excessively, screamed in agony, and fell to the ground dead.
When Wu Tao saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief, jumped down from the tree, and collected the body of the brown-black wild boar monster in a storage bag.
After hunting this brown-black wild boar monster, Wu Tao changed places again and began to carefully observe the surroundings, looking for new hunting targets.
…
After a while, there were rustling sounds in the grass again. Wu Tao turned around and saw only a green flame camouflage deer slowly walking out.
The green flame camouflage deer was two or three feet in size, with green flames all over its body and a terrifying aura as it walked towards Wu Tao.
