Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 55: Employment
After bandaging the wound, Cai Junyang realized something and exclaimed: "Tang Jie, did we just kill a high-grade monster?"
Tang Jie looked at him strangely: "Yeah, what?"
"Top-grade! Top-grade psychic, equivalent to the peak of the spiritual sea. Just the two of us, students who have only studied for more than a year, killed it!" Cai Junyang said with excitement.
I didn’t think too much when fighting before, but now that I thought about it, Cai Junyang realized that he and Tang Jie had already set a record.
The monsters are ferocious. It is not easy to win against them at the same level, but it is even more difficult to challenge them if they cross different levels.
He and Tang Jie are just two newcomers to Spirit Lake. It is good to be able to fight against monsters of the same level. Unexpectedly, they can even kill monsters of a higher level. When thinking of this, Cai Junyang looked at Tang Jie. It's getting weirder and weirder.
He knew his own strength very well, and that was why he realized Tang Jie's strength.
Although I was a little belatedly aware of it, it was not too late. Looking at Tang Jie at this moment, my eyes felt a little strange. I thought, could this guy already have the strength of the peak of Linghai?
Tang Jie didn't feel much at all: "After all, it will be a difficult victory. This four-eyed mantis is far from being a powerful monster in the Valley of No Return. Even if we win, it doesn't mean we can leave sideways."
"That's right." Cai Junyang said somewhat bitterly: "It's a pity. It would be great if the benefits here can be turned into strength."
As soon as he said these words, Tang Jie's heart moved slightly, as if some idea flashed through his mind, but he failed to catch it and never thought of it.
At this time, the medicine was ready, and the two of them packed their bags and continued on their way.
Walking along the original road, they came to the place where the mantis appeared before. The two were about to go there when they suddenly heard the little tiger barking and running towards the other side of the road.
Tang Jie was moved in his heart and shouted: "Xiaohu has found something, come with me."
The two of them hurriedly chased the little tiger, and after running a short distance, they came to a meadow, where they saw the little tiger wandering around excitedly under a tree.
The little tree was ordinary, except that there was a strange plant growing under the tree, with purple flowers and leaves, the leaves were divided into three petals, and there were six flowers, each with a small purple fruit.
"Is this...a spiritual plant?" Cai Junyang looked at it a little unsure, and then looked at Tang Jie, who already said: "Yes, it's the Crimson Pearl Fruit. No wonder the mantis appears here. Feelings It’s the one who protects this crimson fruit.”
"It turns out to be the Crimson Pearl Fruit, haha, now I have made a profit instead of a loss!" Cai Junyang was overjoyed.
Crimson Pearl Fruit is mainly used to increase blood energy, and is one of the main ingredients for refining muscle-building, blood-activating pills, body-breaking pills and other medicines. The specific effect depends on the year.
The plant in front of me is about three feet tall, slightly purple in color, and is about thirty years old. It is estimated that it grew after the last grain harvest, although it is still far from reaching the best effect of the purple fruit at least for a hundred years. , but he is also a rare talent. No wonder Cai Junyang is beaming.
"Half for you, half for me." At this moment, Cai Junyang rushed over and picked all six fruits. At the same time, he did not forget to say: "This crimson fruit is thirty years old. It is said that one can sell for at least three hundred Money, three is nine hundred, which is nearly a thousand in income, haha... Oh, no, I have to hand over one in the pie, alas."
Speaking of this, Cai Junyang sighed: "I really want to steal an alchemy furnace and refine it on the spot."
Tang Jie smiled and said: "You have a wonderful idea. Wuhui Valley is only opened once every few decades. There are countless treasures in it. Students are only allowed to pay 30%. The sect is already very generous. Do you know those small sects? There are one or two places like this that treat them like treasures. Students go through life and death, and often end up paying 80% to the sect. That is to say, Xinyue Academy only has so little. You actually want to suffer on the spot..."
Speaking of this, Tang Jie suddenly felt shocked.
The flash of inspiration reappeared, and Tang Jie finally realized what he had almost missed.
Digest on the spot!
Yes, others can't, but he can.
Although most of the spiritual materials need to be processed, and it is best to refine them into elixirs and then take them for best results, I don't have this problem.
Li Jing Body Refining is based on raw materials and never needs so-called finished products, because it itself directly extracts power from spiritual materials and uses it for its own use.
Tang Jie didn't realize this before, nor did he think it was of any benefit, but now he found that it was of great benefit to him.
This means that whatever he gains here can be used directly to strengthen himself without taking it out.
Although it is said that body refining requires boiling water and using water as a medium, all it requires is a wooden barrel.
There are trees everywhere here. Just pick a larger one and hollow it out, and it will naturally become a bucket. After adding water to boil it, all the conditions are ready. Why do you need an alchemy furnace and other auxiliary things like others?
In this way, Tang Jie no longer needs to deliver 30% of the income to the sect.
That's not all. Another bigger advantage is that he can use all the profits directly to improve himself, which is truly fighting to support fighting.
Due to the closure of Wuhui Valley, the concentration of spiritual materials inside far exceeds that of the outside world, and the age is generally not less than thirty years. Once you can collect and use it in large quantities, your strength will definitely make another leap, thus Form a virtuous cycle.
Currently, he can hardly fight against a high-grade psychic beast alone, but as long as he undergoes another powerful refinement, it should be much easier to face a high-grade psychic beast. A little more confidence in survival.
The six crimson pearl fruits in front of you greatly replenish your blood and energy, and are one of the best spiritual materials for body training.
When he thought of this, Tang Jie couldn't help but get excited. He suppressed his excitement and said, "Jun Yang, how about we discuss something with you?"
"What?" Cai Junyang was stunned.
"I want all these six crimson fruits."
"Huh?" Cai Junyang was stunned.
Tang Jie has taken out the scales he got when he killed the crocodile from the mustard bag, as well as the things left by the three previous students: "Use these in exchange."
Crocodile armor is a material for making armor, and the three students even kept a piece of magic weapon. Adding the two together, it is definitely enough to exchange for three crimson pearl fruits.
Cai Junyang didn't expect Tang Jie to exchange it. After calculating the value, he still made a small profit. He asked curiously: "Is it possible that there are some hidden benefits in this crimson pearl fruit?"
Tang Jie was furious and speechless: "Hidden benefits, sister, I want it because I am useful. You know that the purple fruit is good for blood and vitality, and my physique..."
Cai Junyang suddenly realized: "So that's it. It seems that you want to use it to make elixirs. If that's the case, then change it."
Switching to Jiangzhuguo, Tang Jie and Cai Junyang continued on their way.
With the plan in mind, Tang Jie's attention was no longer on the monsters, but mainly on those spiritual plants. After all, most of the materials Li Jing absorbed were spiritual plants, and very few were monsters.
Occasionally he met some low-level monsters and killed them, and whatever he gained, Tang Jie used them to exchange materials with Cai Junyang.
Walking like this, they finally saw the cliff that Tang Jie had mentioned before. Before they got closer, they saw groups of thunderbirds flying in the sky in the distance.
These thunderbirds are golden in color, with three blue crests on their heads, and their wings are nearly four meters wide. Every time they flap their wings, light from thunder and lightning dances in them.
Each thunderbird builds its own nest on the cliff. The bird's nest is extremely delicate, made of fine wood, soil and saliva, just like a bird's nest. The bird's nest is even made of dead wood and fallen leaves. Specially built beams can protect against wind and rain.
They rise and fall on the cliff, entering and exiting the nest, and making sweet calls from time to time. Occasionally, if they are disturbed by something, they will huff and fly in groups. Although the number is less than a hundred, they are spectacular due to their huge size. When they stretch out, they cover the clouds and the sun, forming a large shadow on the ground.
No need to ask anymore, this is Thunderbird Cliff.
Each of these thunderbirds has the strength of a low-grade psychic. A few have been promoted to mid-grade. The King of Thunderbirds is a top-grade psychic. Due to their large number, even monsters in the enlightened stage cannot dare to do so easily. Therefore, Thunderbird Cliff is also one of the most dangerous areas in the Valley of No Return.
In fact, the map of No Return Valley is based on the strength of monsters. Every marked location means a certain kind or group of powerful beings.
Thunderbirds are relatively ferocious monsters and are extremely aggressive. In addition, they are birds of prey and fly fast, so students do not dare to provoke them.
At this moment, they saw a flock of thunderbirds from a distance, and the two stopped. Cai Junyang said: "It is indeed Thunderbird Cliff... Finally we know where we are now."
"If you know where you are, you also know where to go. Next, you must be going to the Ice Cave, right?" Tang Jie said.
"Of course, the Ice Flame Red Lotus is there, where would you go if you don't go there?" Cai Junyang looked at Tang Jie strangely: "You won't tell me you don't want to go, right?"
"I have to go to Big Rock. My young master is there." Tang Jie replied. Wei Tianchong had determined his position half an hour ago. Big Rock is at the north end of Wuhui Valley.
As for the Ice Flame Red Lotus, he is not in a hurry.
To go to the Ice Cave, you have to go through the dangerous and unpredictable Ten Thousand Flowers Forest. Wanhualin itself is one of the dangerous places where there is no way to return to the valley. Even if you finally get through it, when you get to the Ice Cave, there are still frost elves in the enlightenment period guarding them. They are old monsters who have survived until now after opening the valley many times. It can be regarded as a big BOSS in the Valley of No Return.
Only after passing this level can you get the Ice Flame Red Lotus, so for a short time, he didn't worry about the Ice Flame Red Lotus at all.
"So we're going to separate." Cai Junyang sighed. He didn't ask Tang Jie how he knew, because he was really fed up with everyone saying that everyone had secrets.
"But I don't want to go there for the time being... Jun Yang, I want to ask you for help with something." Looking at the Thunderbird in the distance, Tang Jie said leisurely.
"What happened?"
"Go to Big Rock and help me protect Young Master Wei."
"Wei Tianchong?"
"Yes. I have some things to do when I stay here, and I can't leave him for the time being. I want to entrust you to protect him."
"What can happen to you?" Cai Junyang was puzzled.
Seeing Thunderbird Cliff following Tang Jie's eyes, Cai Junyang's heart trembled. He realized something and said in a trembling voice: "You don't want to deal with those Thunderbirds, do you? Tang Jie, don't go crazy, Thunderbirds are too There are so many, and the attacks are so ferocious that even those in the transcendent realm dare not challenge them. Such a large group of thunderbirds is more of a threat than a single intelligent monster!"
Tang Jie smiled: "I know what I am doing, but if I do this, I'm afraid I won't have time to help the young master, so I have to ask you for help."
"No!" Cai Junyang immediately refused: "Tang Jie, I treat you as a good brother, so I helped you last time and didn't go for the kill. But I have no intention of giving up the opportunity of true inheritance. You have to help Wei When Tian Chong obtains the true inheritance, one alternative is simply not enough. Don’t think that I don’t know what your plan is. You have to win all three alternatives. You and I are destined to be competitors. Even if a friend helps, you have to look What is it? The last time I let you go, I have done my best to help Wei Tianchong. Don’t you think you are a bit **** others when you go to help Wei Tianchong this time?"
"Thirty low-grade thunder feathers, your reward for helping me."
"What...what?" Cai Junyang looked at Tang Jie in disbelief as he was struck by lightning.
Thunder feathers are the three blue crests on the Thunderbird's head. This is the essence of the Thunderbird's power. It can be said that 80% of the value is in those three crests, and the rest is divided into flesh and blood. , of course, excluding the Thunderbird that generated the demon elixir.
Lei Ling has a wide range of uses. It can be used to make lightning-attribute magic weapons, and can also be used to assist in the practice of thunder-attribute spells.
A low-grade thunderbird's thunder feather is worth approximately one hundred spirit coins, a medium-grade thunder feather is worth three hundred spirit coins, and a top-grade thunder feather is worth six hundred spirit coins.
Thirty low-grade thunder feathers are three thousand spiritual coins.
For students, such a move is not unreasonable.
At the same time, this also means that Tang Jie really intends to take action against these thunderbirds, otherwise it would be impossible to promise thirty thunder feathers.
These words really shocked Cai Junyang: "You are **** crazy. You cannot provoke these thunderbirds. Even if there are ten of you, you are no match for them!"
"I have my own way to solve the problem, you just have to say whether you agree or disagree."
"I disagree!" Cai Junyang shouted.
"Forty."
"Tang Jie, stop doing this, you have no chance of succeeding."
"If it fails, I will give you the mustard bag~IndoMTL.com~the heart-breaking knife. In short, as long as I don't die, you don't have to worry about me defaulting on my debt."
"Then I don't agree with it either. I'm going to decide on the real story."
"The true message to you is only one in a few thousand."
"Then give it a try!"
"Fifty."
"You..."
"Eighty!"
Cai Junyang looked at Tang Jie in shock. He couldn't believe his ears: "Are you crazy? Are you planning to kill the entire Thunderbird flock in one go?"
"One hundred." Tang Jie spat out the number coldly: "It's you who gave me this price. Another person wouldn't be worth it. This is asking for your help, and it's also a tribute to your last help. My reward! Cherish the opportunity, brother. You go and protect Wei Tianchong for me. As long as he doesn't die, you can get a reward equivalent to 10,000 yuan, and you still retain the right to **** the Ice Flame Red Lotus. You should know , without me by his side, he cannot become a threat to you, but may become your helper."
Cai Junyang looked at Tang Jie stupidly for a while before he said, "You know what you are doing, right?"
"Of course."
"Okay, I agree!" Cai Junyang gritted his teeth and finally agreed.
Ten thousand dollars may not be as valuable as a true biography, but it is definitely far more than one thousandth of the value of a true biography. No matter how much Cai Junyang longed for the true biography, he was still defeated by Tang Jie's generosity.
This is like the difference between ten thousand dollars and a lottery ticket. Everyone knows which one is more valuable.
Looking at Tang Jie at this moment, Cai Junyang sighed: "If you can really do it... I can only say that the Wei family really found the right person when they chose you to be their servant."
Tang Jie smiled slightly: "Businesses that can make investors make money are good trades... and can attract more investments."
Cai Junyang didn't understand this sentence anyway.
