The second-level low-grade Sky-Banging Hammer was successfully refined. Three days later, Zhao Shoushou returned to the desert oasis again, except for the occasional encounter with some intercepted monsters. At the end of the eleventh month, he finally returned to the desert oasis.
It took a total of two and a half years to travel to and from the Beast Control Sect. Apart from the time spent waiting for the auction and refining the spiritual weapons, the rest was basically on the way there and back. This shows how difficult and dangerous traveling is in this era.
This is true for foundation-building monks, not to mention some ordinary mortals. Wild beasts outside or some unnoticed small traps may easily kill them.
The desert oasis has not changed much. The sand lizards that Zhao Shoushou had been worried about before did not appear around. Even some of the first-level, middle and lower-grade sand lizards that often appeared nearby have disappeared.
Also because of the inexplicable disappearance of the sand lizards, the danger of walking in the desert has been greatly reduced, and the number of camel caravans trading between the two states has increased a lot.
Of course, this is also due to the desert oasis. There is a stable and safe resting base in the middle of the desert, where you can rest assured, which is also very important for these caravans.
This was especially true for some small caravans with only three or five spirit camels headed by those in the early and middle stages of Qi refining. As soon as Zhao Shoushou returned to the oasis, the lively chatter among them made him look a little sideways.
Some smarter caravans came from Anzhou and Xianzhou respectively, and even started trading on the spot. Although they made less profits, they greatly improved safety.
As the middleman of all this, Desert Oasis naturally earns a lot of spiritual stones, rest fees, purchase of spiritual grass, and water sources through various means. Shui Zhihua even invented a feces treatment fee, and each caravan paid at least several dollars a day.
A low-grade spiritual stone.
Within two and a half years after Zhao Shoushou left, Water Flower earned nearly 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones, which was considered a big breakthrough. Of course, the root of all this was the guarding of the foundation-building monks. Otherwise, what would happen to these lawless guys?
Will you be willing to take out the white spirit stones?
During this period, there was only one monk in the late stage of Qi Refining in the desert oasis. Even though he had tried his best and was intimidated by the high-grade bronze sword, there were still many caravans who underpaid spiritual stones and did not have sufficient strength.
, this point is obviously difficult to solve.
In fact, there are quite a few monks who want to join the desert oasis. Unfortunately, Shuizhihua does not have the right to recruit them. This can only be confirmed after Zhao Shoushou returns.
"I paid my respects to the young master. In two and a half years, I collected a total of 9,800 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones." Shui Zhihua respectfully paid all the spiritual stones.
"Thank you for your hard work. I will take one thousand five hundred yuan of spiritual stones. I will take one bottle of the first-grade high-grade spiritual elixir from this storage bag. The rest will be stored in a certain opened treasure house." These spiritual stones and the storage bags are all filled with
The treasures suitable for the Qi refining period were not of great help to Zhao Shoushou.
On the contrary, it can be used as a reward for the monks under his command in the future. Under the heavy rewards, there will be brave men. This also applies to the world of cultivation. Everything is just to earn some cultivation resources.
After sending them away, Zhao Shoushou immediately purchased fifty first-class, top-grade purple-backed money turtle eggs at a high price and carefully placed them near the spiritual veins where the spiritual energy was the most abundant.
After a year of nourishment in the storage bag, these little guys have become more and more powerful. According to his estimation, if they have sufficient spiritual power, it may only take about twenty days to break out of their shells.
out.
"In the final analysis, the cultivation of Tao soldiers is just a matter of survival of the best. The winner will be the core leader of the Tao soldiers, and the losers will be expelled. Eventually, a large formation of Tao soldiers will be formed. I hope you will not be disappointed." Zhao Shoushou looked at the fifty purple stars.
The turtle carrying money is full of hope.
According to the Beast Control Sect, the eggshell monster in the same nest that is the first to break out of its shell is naturally the most qualified and powerful spirit beast, and is also the natural leader. The monks only need to control it. For convenience
In the future, the command will need to place a mana mark before hatching.
Arranging mana marks on these unhatched egg shells is not too difficult but requires a lot of time and energy. It needs to be done on each egg shell separately.
It sounds simple to say that the mana mark is a special five-pointed star that uses mana as a line to communicate with each other. Once the spiritual beast hatches in the future, because of the existence of the mana mark, there will naturally be a sense of trust and intimacy towards the monks.
If one exerts all one's strength to complete the construction of the mana marks of five purple-backed money turtle eggs in one day, it will take at least ten days to complete them all, and on the premise that the purple-backed money turtle may hatch at any time, there cannot be any lag in this work.
In this busy life, time passed little by little. After the last egg's mana imprint was carved, a feeling of fatigue spread throughout the body.
After placing all the eggs, Zhao Shoushou felt the strong breath of life in them and felt a long-lost smile on his face. Of course, Zhao Shoushou could not slack off because of this. There was an urgent matter that needed to be started immediately, which was the oasis protective formation.
Improve.
He is not a formation master, and his only knowledge of formations is just some rumors from the city and simple records in jade slips.
This time he successfully purchased a set of second-level mid-grade Ten Thousand Fire Burning Crystal Formation Flags from Yushoumenfang City. Some basic layout methods naturally existed, but they were difficult to meet his needs.
According to Zhao Shoushou's plan, it is not just about replacing the oasis's protective formation. He has no plans to dismantle the Yunsha Magic Formation that is currently functioning well.
"Using the Ten Thousand Fire Burning Crystal Formation as the main body and the Cloud Shape Illusion Formation as the auxiliary, create a formation that truly combines the three attributes of attack, defense, and illusion. It will be able to fight even against late-stage foundation-building monks."
This is the real thought in his heart.
Although he occupies a desert oasis, and although it is in a critical location, a mere first-order high-grade spiritual vein obviously will not attract the attention of some late-stage foundation-building monks. The real defense is the unknown existence that controls the sand lizard deep in the desert.
At present, his cultivation level is far from having much impact on the dense and staggering number of sand lizard kingdoms. He can only defend based on the existing conditions and find a way to remove them when his strength increases in the future.
The arrangement of formation flags has always been known for its simplicity and speed. However, his plan was too huge and was not easy to implement. He even needed to arrange some simple formation bases in advance for support to prevent excessive consumption of spiritual veins in the oasis.
"Zhao is really a hard worker. Fortunately, the main functions of the two sets of formation flags are not the same, but they can be interspersed with each other. He only needs to use spiritual stones to arrange three or five fulcrums for the Ten Thousand Fire Burning Crystal Formation." After some investigation
After that, Zhao Shoushou, who was dizzy, finally managed to complete a feasible plan.
After months of hard work, we now have a good foundation.
