It’s too difficult to cultivate immortality, so I used a strange beast to clone myself into a Taoist

Chapter 145 Straw Puppet, the Way to Get Rid of Pests

Danwang Chajia
  The largest force in Qingxu Ridge has many foundation-building majors in charge. It is rumored that the ancestor of the Zha family was the alchemy boy who worked under Taoist Jialing back then.

The family owns 30% of the elixirs in Qingshitan.

Deep underground in Xianfang, the second-level spiritual vein belongs to the Cha family.

Of course, Li Qinglin's trip was not for the Cha family.

He walked westward, stopping from time to time to look at the map.

Stopping for a moment outside a 'Hehuan Chunqiu Building', he looked critically at the beautiful female nun who was soliciting customers at the door.

"Huh? This is it?"

Li Qinglin was surprised to see three or four non-humanoid figures walking out of the Chunqiu Tower.

It has horns on its head, its body is covered with blue scales, and its limbs have fins.

It looks like it should be some kind of water spirit.

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad, the taste of a human female nun is very smooth!"

The leader of the demon laughed, took out a large handful of spiritual stones from his arms, and stuffed them into the bosom of the woman beside him.

How dare the monsters enter and leave Fairy Place openly?

Aren't you afraid of skin cramps?
  People who are not from my race must have different minds. This is not just talk.

On the side of the road, there was a short-haired repairman who was also watching the excitement.

Li Qinglin calmly threw a spirit stone and asked him.

The short-haired cultivator weighed the quality of the spirit stone and smiled when he saw that it was in perfect condition.
  "They are from Nituojiang. They call themselves the fork-wielding dragon generals of the Dragon Palace Yubu. They are a group of stubborn upstarts. I heard they want to refine some magic weapon!"

This man looked contemptuous, but the jealousy in his eyes almost turned into water.

“We have reached an agreement with the people above to allow them to enter and leave the Three Mountains, and even have various discounts.

But I have to say that since the rain department came, the transaction volume of our three mountains has increased significantly, and there have been more and more rare treasures, minerals and spiritual plants. We, the low-level people, have also found some bargains.

However, because our specialty in Qingxu Ridge is various spiritual plants, the demand for Dragon Palace Yubu is not high. Instead, Shiguang Ridge raises water beasts and Tanzhe Ridge refines magic weapons, making a lot of money..."

At the end of the sentence, this man's tone was a bit off, and he wished he could join the Shiguang Ridge and Tanzhe Ridge mountains immediately.

Ryugu Amebe?

Li Qinglin's heart moved and he thought of many things.

Could it be the place in the deep water area that inexplicably attracts the Jade Yuan Chan?
  Ryugong Yube actually communicated with Sanshan and established a trading channel.

No wonder the number of human cultivators appearing in Nituojiang has increased recently...

Li Qinglin thought silently and finally walked into Renhetang, a store specializing in spiritual plants.

Seeing Li Qinglin's figure, especially when he noticed the fluctuations in his mana, which was only at the second level of Qi training.

Three or four Taoist boys in the shop made eye contact and touched each other.

Then a relatively thin Taoist boy walked out.

"Guest, what do you need?"

The thin Taoist boy led Li Qinglin to the counter, took out a booklet with some jerky movements, and handed it to Li Qinglin.

Li Qinglin glanced around and made a decision in his mind.

"You, the puppet of Morita and Birds, what's the difference between these three?"

The skinny Taoist boy scanned the contents of the booklet and explained stumblingly.

"Straw Puppet, a first-level low-grade puppet. It uses spiritual stones as its energy core. It can turn grass into a sword, and can guard and attack as one. The disadvantage is that it has insufficient defense against water spells. It costs fifteen yuan of low-grade spiritual stones."

"The iron drum windmill is a first-level low-grade puppet. It uses wind as its power. When struck, it makes the sound of an iron drum. It has a very large range. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to use in the environment. In some seasons, it is completely ineffective. The price is twelve low-grade spiritual stones."

"The Spirit Guard is a first-level mid-grade puppet. Its strength is comparable to that of the middle stage of Qi training. It contains two miniature talismans, namely Wang Qi and Shadow Transmitter. It has the widest applicability. It costs forty yuan of low-grade spirit stones."

When Li Qinglin heard this, he nodded secretly, feeling quite moved by the spiritual guard.

Seeing this, the thin Taoist boy hesitated and whispered,
  "The spiritual guards need to regularly replace the talisman seal slots, and only Renhetang can replace them."

Li Qinglin's eyes narrowed slightly.

Isn't this a bundled sale?
  And I have to make a trip to Fangshi every now and then, which is troublesome.

This Taoist boy is quite conscientious in his duties.

Thinking of this, Li Qinglin said,

"Thirty seeds of straw puppets and silver-veined sunflowers, and two scriptures called "Growth and Care of One Hundred and Eight Kinds of Spiritual Plants" and "Illustration and Prevention of Common Monsters and Insects". How many spirit stones can you count?"

Li Qinglin originally planned to visit the roadside vendors to see if there were any second-hand copies of these two classics, but he thought it would be troublesome, so he decided to buy them all at one stop.

The skinny little Taoist boy looked a little happy when he heard this, and after some deliberation, he said,
  "A total of thirty-two spiritual stones."

"It's cheaper, maybe ten yuan."

The skinny Taoist boy was silent for a moment, there was no way he could haggle over the price.

"Thirty-one at most."

"fifteen."

"thirty."

……

In the end, the thin Taoist boy bit Twenty-Nine to death without letting go. It seemed that he had reached his limit.

"Then you'll give me two more pickaxes."

"it is good."

After receiving the money and goods, Li Qinglin put the things into his storage bag and turned around to leave.

Half a day later.

The Taoist boys selling the goods were amused for a while, and then they got together.

"It's in vain that I wasted so much time. The man looked around and only bought a piece of retting fertilizer for two spiritual stones."

"That's right, I also met a nine-spotted black bamboo who bought three spiritual stones for a total price, but had to sign a thirty-year loan contract. It seemed that he was planning to go on an adventure, go to the Tribulation Domain, and hope that if he fails, he will become a benevolent person. Intend."

"I just didn't want to buy this one here. I kept asking about the price. I guess I wanted to compare prices."

"By the way, little junior brother, you just came here not long ago. Are you able to speak those words fluently today? Even if you don't sell them, it doesn't matter. You will become familiar with them after practicing a few times."

Everyone looked at the thin Taoist boy.

The thin Taoist boy saw this and said in a low voice,
  "That person just bought a lot of things and spent twenty-nine spiritual stones."

After the words fell, everyone froze on the spot, their lips wriggled, and they smiled very reluctantly. They may not encounter a transaction of this kind in ten days and a half.

"Haha, my junior brother is so lucky..."

"I originally wanted to entertain that distinguished guest, but seeing that my junior brother has just arrived, I gave you the opportunity."

"Huh? We have visitors, I'll leave first."

Seeing several immortal cultivators walking in at the door, the Taoist boys all dispersed in a hurry, scrambling to welcome the guests.

……

Leave Fangshi.

After a few days, Li Qinglin changed his clothes and appearance and returned to Xianfang, either going to a shop or setting up a stall on the roadside.

Bit by bit, he took out the elixirs, materials, and magic weapons that he couldn't use.

After all, he first rented spiritual fields, then purchased spiritual plants and scriptures, and the spiritual stones were almost exhausted.

Other things are easy to say. Only the Heart-Calling Needle and the Eight-door Golden Lock Formation obtained from Taoist Liquan are considered stolen goods and have extremely obvious traces of the Yuxu Sect.

Li Qinglin changed his identity many times and went through many circles before he found a black market and sold it at a price that was 20% lower than the market price.

Even so, the income from this write-off increased Li Qinglin's savings to five hundred low-grade spiritual stones.

Generally speaking, a first-level low-grade magic weapon costs thirty spirit stones.

The price of a first-level mid-grade magic weapon is around 80, depending on the type and refining technique.

But when it comes to first-level high-grade magic weapons and complete sets of magic arrays, the prices soar.

If there is an auction, it is not impossible to break through to 800 low-grade spiritual stones.

Once you become rich, you will feel windy when you walk.

Li Qinglin even began to think about whether to purchase a set of formations for the spirit field, preferably one with the functions of gathering spirits and blocking the skylight.

But this formation is extremely expensive, easily worth hundreds of spirit stones.

In order to avoid exposing the flaw of a windfall, Li Qinglin gave up the idea and waited until the spiritual plants were mature and harvested before buying them.

finally,
  On the black market, he purchased a secret method to draw out souls and light a lamp, a paper crane, and a bottle of elixir that could prolong life for mortals.

The soul-extracting lantern can extract the life soul of the cultivator and control it. Life and death are only a matter of thoughts, but it has higher requirements on the realm of the caster and the power of the soul.

……

Leave Fangshi.

Following a loud crane cry, the wings of the spirit crane grew to half a foot long.

Li Qinglin rode the paper crane into the air. It was a little awkward at first, but then he started to ride it properly.

Flying all the way across the vast Qingxu Ridge plain, detours were made at places marked on some maps for latent foundation construction and overhaul.

Half an hour later.

A violent wave of fighting skills came from the distance. Li Qinglin lowered the spirit crane and looked around. He saw several figures fighting outside the phantom formation on the edge of the three mountains.

There was a thunderous roar in the palm of my hand, which was shocking and spread throughout nearly a hundred miles.

The cold light of the flying sword shattered the white clouds in the sky, and the talisman and seal were scattered into the air as if they were free of money, and dazzling lights lit up.

But they were several human cultivators, the fork-wielding dragon generals who had appeared in Hehuan Chunqiu Tower before the siege.

"How dare you, such aliens, harm my Taoist friends!"

"If you want to fight, just fight. There is so much nonsense! I have killed so many people, how can I remember so many?"

"Fellow Taoist Lu Ju, we worked together to capture two demons. Your beloved died in the hands of the demon beasts. Today I will take two of his sacrificial flags!"

Several breaths of perfect Qi training rose into the sky.

The guards guarding the valley in Sanshan did not intervene and just watched these people fight to death outside Sanshan.

Until finally, with a loud bang.

The fork-wielding dragon general didn't know what kind of talent he had used, and directly blasted the two cultivators into ashes.

But he was also accidentally beheaded by the cultivator named Lu Ju.

The remaining two fork-wielding dragon generals said a few harsh words and fled away in horror.

Lu Ju looked like he was crazy, his eyes were like tigers and wolves, and he stared into the three mountains.

The other cultivators who were watching the show like Li Qinglin behaved like hozenes and dispersed.

Li Qinglin vaguely guessed Lu Ju's identity and thought to himself,

"The world is so small. Lu Ju not only lost his daughter, but also his apprentice, right?
  Ryugu Amebe and Sanshan seem to be in the honeymoon stage, but there is constant friction and fighting below.

But it has nothing to do with me. I am just a farmer. Biyu Yuanchan does all the dirty work.

As the saying goes, just sit back and watch the small buildings become unified, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter! "

……

"The silkworm aphid is a hybrid between a poisonous insect and a spiritual insect. It originated in the southern Xinjiang area during the Dajie period. It was culled many times, but it has reappeared."

In front of the desk in the house, Li Qinglin flipped through the book "Illustrations and Prevention of One Hundred and Eight Common Monster Insects" in his hand and murmured to himself,

"The egg shell is extremely hard, and the adult insect is about the size of a fingernail. It likes to live in groups. It weaves silk webs on the leaves of spiritual plants to absorb life. If it is not controlled, the entire spiritual field will eventually become an insect nest.

Miss one and it will spread, producing thousands of aphids the following year. "

Li Qinglin closed the book, pinched the eggs in his hands, and looked thoughtful.

"On the premise of not damaging the foundation of the spiritual field, if we want to get rid of this pest, we must either have some kind of large-scale killing spell to kill all the eggs; or we can attract natural enemies and raise birds.

The key is……"

Li Qinglin frowned slightly.
  "This silkworm aphid seems to have mutated. The eggs and adults are more cunning and tenacious than ordinary silkworm aphids. Even the first-level mid-level small thunder curse and the hundred-slash sword light cannot completely eradicate it."

This is also the reason why this pest infestation has become more and more serious in these ten miles and eight villages.

Ordinary experience cannot be used for reference, and the spiritual field cannot be completely reduced to charcoal regardless of the consequences.

Unless you hire a late-stage qi practitioner who practices specific spells, the cost is extremely expensive.

This forced many spiritual planters to sell their spiritual fields and either change careers or leave their hometowns.

Crush the eggs in your hand.

Li Qinglin put away his books, stood up and left the room.
