Cultivation Begins with Cultivating Spiritual Roots

After some trading, he harvested 200,000 spirit stones, plus the spirit stones and treasures he obtained from the blood-clothed guard's storage bag. This time he came out for the assessment, and it can be said that he returned with a full load and gained a lot.

This is not counting the spiritual mines dug...

Yang Buyi had already blossomed in his heart, and the feeling of getting rich really made him happy.

However, his current sudden wealth only appears to be rich at the level of Qi training. He once read in the book of ordinary cultivation circles that the poorest Jindan Daoist can casually take out tens of millions of spirit stones. And they are all high-grade spirit stones, extremely rich.

As for the Yuanying ancestors, they have downplayed the existence of spirit stones, and they are chasing all kinds of treasures in the world. If it is about spirit stones, they can still take out hundreds of millions of top-grade spirit stones casually.

As for the giants in the God Transformation Realm, it is said that even if they see a spirit stone under their feet, they will not pick it up, unless it is a top-quality spirit stone, and they will only cast spells to pick it up when they are in a good mood.

There are even more exaggerated descriptions in the book. If you ascend to the spirit world, you can almost bombard a small hill at random to blast out a spirit mine.

In the spirit world, top-grade spirit stones are not worth much. I heard that all the immortal stones that contain immortal energy are used for cultivation there.

Every time Yang Buyi saw the description in the book, he would feel like a poor dick.

But thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Shizun Chunfeng.

As a generation of foundation-builder, Chunfeng can take out hundreds of thousands of spirit stones at will.

However, when he first went to the Five Elements Peak, the training resources distributed to him by Master Chunfeng were only ten spiritual energy pills per month, which seemed to be very small, but Yang Buyi realized it later.

Chunfeng didn't like him at all, and he was going to make him a handyman, and a few pills for cultivation were given symbolically in accordance with the sect's regulations.

In the end, Yang Buyi did not expect that Yang Buyi would really reach the third level of Qi training within a year, and this gave him the idea of ​​accepting a disciple.

As for the latter, Master Chunfeng did not give cultivation resources.

On the one hand, it was because his cultivation resources were indeed in short supply, and on the other hand, with the improvement of Yang Buyi's cultivation base, it was useless to give less, and it was too much to get out, so he simply stopped giving.

A master who was at the peak of foundation building couldn't come up with a few spirit stones, Yang Buyi was curious and quietly asked senior brother Li Youran,

Only then did I know that all the spirit stones of Master Chunfeng were spent on the "Dao Enlightenment Pill".

Enlightenment Pill is extremely expensive, and it has not been sold in the scenic area, only in the more prosperous cultivation areas outside.

Moreover, after taking the Enlightenment Pill, he can't go out to find cultivation resources, and needs to comprehend the mysteries of the world within a limited time.

So he can only rely on the tens of thousands of spirit stones distributed by the sect every month to barely maintain his cultivation, which has created such a poor situation for him.

Yang Buyi smiled slightly in his heart, and couldn't help muttering to himself, at this moment, if he was fighting for wealth, he might really be able to overwhelm Master Chunfeng.

 …

Another half day passed, and after the flying boat flew for a day, everyone came to Heishan City again.

The monks without blood cards all left on their own, and there were a total of 68 people with blood cards, and all of them entered the Black Devil Hall.

"Congratulations on completing the assessment. You are now quasi-Black Devil Guards. Now you go to various windows to show your blood cards, complete the information, and receive an identity token. From now on, you will be Black Devil Guards and are eligible to receive Dark Devil Guards." After completing the tasks assigned by the temple, you can get merit points and exchange them for various rewards." The leading middle-aged man laughed.

Everyone bowed after hearing the words, and then dispersed at various counters.

"Fairy Qingxuan, please help me improve my identity information." Yang Buyi came to the familiar counter and handed out the blood card.

"Well, good!" Qingxuan put down the jade slip in her hand, looked up, and suddenly called out, "It's you?" Her beautiful eyes blinked slightly, and her eye sockets were filled with disbelief.

Yang Buyi understood her eyes, smiled lightly and said, "Good luck, you passed the test!"

"I heard from the adults in the hall that only 85 people came back alive this time, and the death rate exceeded 80%. Not only did you come back alive with the cultivation base of the ninth level of Qi training, but you also got a blood card. It's incredible."

Qing Xuan took a deep look at Yang Buyi, and said with a slight smile, "Congratulations."

"Lucky! Lucky!" Yang Buyi smiled modestly.

"Fellow Daoist, please improve your personal information again." Qingxuan handed over a jade slip, and Yang Buyi took it and entered the information with his spiritual sense.

Then Qingxuan handed over a robe, a palm-sized carriage, and a black metal token.

The token is engraved with mysterious runes, which is very exquisite.

"Fellow Daoist, this is the Black Gold Robe, the iconic robe of the Black Demon Guard, and a low-grade defensive magic weapon. This is the black black puppet car, which travels extremely fast, and is a top-level magic weapon."

"In addition, this token is the most important. It is a symbol of your identity, and it contains your number. Although this token is only a low-grade magic weapon, it is from the hands of the ancestors, and others cannot imitate it."

"With the token, your identity as the Black Devil Guard is there. If you lose the token, your identity as the Black Devil Guard will also be lost. You will be able to take care of it in the future."

Qingxuan introduced the objects handed over.

Yang Buyi has seen all these things before, but he has never seen the token. Now holding it in his hand and looking it over, he penetrated a little of his consciousness and saw a shining serial number inside.

"20210713? Is this my number? Am I the outer guard of the Black Devil now?"

"Yes, fellow daoist is now an outside guard. If you want to become an inside guard, you need to go through a special assessment, and generally there will be no danger to your life."

"Is that so?"

Yang Buyi murmured, then smiled and put away the token.

Then he turned his head and looked at the huge shadow stone on the left wall of the Black Demon Palace, which displayed various items.

"Flowers of the Void... It takes 10,000 merit points to exchange, which is actually 40,000 less than a foundation-level spell?"

"That's true. Although the flowers of the void are rare and precious, they are only elixir after all, and they seem to have few uses. They can only be used to refine the ancient foundation building pills. In the case of the extremely rare circumstances of the earth core fire mushroom and the heaven and earth fairy fruit, The price tag of 10,000 merit points seems inflated!"

Yang Buyi naturally thought that its value should be as low as possible, and it would be perfect if it could be exchanged for just one merit point.

Smiling, he turned his head to look at Qingxuan, and asked, "Fairy Qingxuan, where can I receive the mission?"

"It's fine here, are you going to accept the task now?" Qingxuan asked.

"What are the tasks, can you let me see?" Yang Buyi asked.

"Okay!" Saying that, Qingxuan activated a magic weapon, and a light screen appeared in front of Yang Buyi, displaying various tasks on it.

"The grading of tasks is based on the risk factor. One star is the safest, and five stars are the most dangerous. The more dangerous the task, the higher the reward."

"For example, guarding a certain mine vein, this kind of task is relatively safe. Generally, it starts in three years and you can get 300 merit points."

"Such as killing the enemy, this kind of task is more dangerous. Like the three black devil commanders who went with you this time, they completed the task, and each of them got a lot of merit points."

Qing Xuan introduced.

"Security mission? It only takes three hundred merit points to guard the mine vein for three years, and it takes more than thirty-three years for 10,000 merit points..."

Yang Buyi frowned. Although this kind of task is easy, time is extremely precious to him.

For thirty-three years, he couldn't afford it.

Qingxuan seemed to see what he was thinking, and said: "If you want to gain merit points quickly, you can consider joining the inner guard. For the same task, guarding the mine for three years, the merit points gained are five times that of the outer guards. That's 1,500 merit points."

"Joining the inner guard, do I need to do anything?" Yang Buyi asked.

"To join the inner guard, you need to be loyal to the ancestors of Montenegro. If you betray, you will die, and you must obey the arrangements of the adults above. Compared with the outer guards, you have lost part of your freedom." Qingxuan said.

"Losing part of your freedom?" Yang Buyi didn't like the feeling of being restrained, and immediately rejected the idea of ​​becoming an inner guard.

Now look at those dangerous tasks.

Looking all the way, he found that there is a mission that is between one star and five stars, that is to say, it is both safe and extremely dangerous?

"Chaotic Ruins Secret Realm?" Yang Buyi murmured.

"Ruin Ruins Secret Realm! This is the largest secret realm in the entire Black Horn Region, but there are no resources in it, and now it has become a battlefield for the four superpowers to compete for!"

Qingxuan said, "There are many mineral veins in the Black Horn Region, and there is only one way to distribute the mineral veins, and that is to determine the ownership of the mineral veins or the mining period through battles!"
