I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 60 Linghe Island, Waterfall
  Gu Yuan had never thought before that Zhaotian Lingmu would need so many spiritual stones.

After all, the Little Giant Divine Tree only cost about 400 spirit stones.

But sometimes, practice can be so weird.

The best spells do not necessarily cost a lot, but the spells that cost a lot must be superior.

The Zhaotian Spiritual Eye is not necessarily more mysterious than the Seal of the Body, but it requires so many resources, so it must be a superior technique.

Since it is a superior technique, it must be practiced.

What's more, with this technique, you can also use all the means in the Jie Cultivation Book, no, the Cultivation Book, so you don't have to worry about being plotted against.

So Gu Yuan has been trying to find ways to raise money these days.

He also had some clues. After all, he still had an extremely precious treasure.

Stone bottle!

Over the course of a year, the stone bottle accumulated twelve drops of stone liquid. Gu Yuan did not waste a single time, and tried his best to check for opportunities every time.

Moreover, it was wet with rain and dew, and I read "Apprenticeship", "Practice", "Dharma Seal" and "Spiritual Stone" several times.

Unfortunately, the gains were not big.

After all, Qingfeng Taoist Temple is so big. If there was a chance, Gu Yuan would have discovered it before.

In one year, it is difficult to create new opportunities.

But it wasn't all nothing. When he was checking the "Spiritual Stone Wealth" last month, Gu Yuanjiu found an opportunity that was green with a ray of silver light.

"Lingshi can bring a ray of silver light by chance, and its value is at least nearly a thousand spirit stones. If you can get this chance, it will be more than enough to practice Zhaotian Lingmu, and you can also make an additional windfall."

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan stopped delaying, washed up, stepped on the cloud boots, tied his hair with a jade hairpin, tidied up his appearance and walked out of the Qianyuan Cave, set up the jade shuttle, and flew towards the place where opportunity appeared.

……

……

Linghe Island.

This island is one of the several islands under the jurisdiction of Qingfeng Taoist Temple, His Highness the Spirit Beast. It covers an extremely vast area. There are a large number of spirit beasts living on the island, but the most numerous is a species called "Cang Yun Spirit Crane" A middle-grade spiritual beast.

Spiritual beasts, like demonic beasts, are generally divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower.

The strength of low-grade monsters generally does not exceed the fifth level of Qi refining, the strength of middle-grade monsters generally does not exceed the seventh level of Qi refining, and the strongest top-grade monsters can be compared to the ninth level of Qi refining.

Monster beasts have complex combat power and different spiritual intelligence, so the grades are relatively confusing. There is no detailed classification by human monks, and it is more general.

Monsters above the top level are generally called earth monsters. Their strength can be compared to that of a foundation-building monk, and they possess some mysterious and weird abilities.

Above the earth demon, there is the big demon, who can fight with the golden elixir monks without losing, and is extremely powerful.

If you go further up, you can be called the Demon King, which is equivalent to the Tao Fetus, and the divine dragon sees its head but not its tail.

Although Cangyun Spirit Crane is only a middle-grade monster, it looks very good. Its body is as white as snow, its wings are like ink, its fairy aura is floating, full of spirituality, and its speed is extremely fast, even comparable to high-grade spirit beasts. It is a good substitute for transportation. tool.

There are many domesticated animals in Qingfeng Taoist Temple, and the entire island was named Linghe Island because of this.

This island, like Silver Fish Island, is protected by formations and cannot be entered except by people from the Spirit Beast Hall.

But how could this kind of thing be difficult for Gu Yuan? He followed the same method and accepted a task of collecting spider silk from Yuanfa Hall, and then entered Linghe Island easily.

"Senior Brother Gu, I'm really troubling you!"

"The Caiyun Spider has a bad temper, and it is even more explosive these days when it lays eggs. Without the strength of the seventh level of Qi Refining, it is impossible to enter its nest to collect spider silk."

"A few days ago, a senior brother was bitten when he passed by its lair. Senior brother, you must be careful!"

A girl wearing a colorful dress with a pretty face guided Gu Yuan the way and warned Gu Yuan carefully.

Although Cangyun Spirit Crane is the most numerous on Spirit Crane Island, there are also many other monsters, most of which are monster beasts that can produce something or have strategic value.

After all, there are many disciples in the Taoist academy, so they must have their own place to produce spiritual materials, otherwise it will be impossible to maintain such a huge consumption.

The Caiyun Spider is one of the middle-grade spiritual beasts. It can spit out a kind of spider silk called "Caiyun Silk", which is an important spiritual material for refining Taoist robes.

"Thank you, junior sister, for informing me, I will be careful!"

Gu Yuan answered with a smile.

The two then drove the magic weapon across the jungle, and finally stopped in front of a white cave.

The cave is so deep that there is no end in sight, and only a fierce aura comes from it.

"Senior brother... ahead, ahead is the nest of the Caiyun Spider. You must be careful!"

The girl in colorful clothes handed Gu Yuan a jade bottle engraved with bird-shaped seal characters and said cautiously.

She was only at the fifth level of Qi refining, and she didn't dare to get close. “It’s okay, don’t move around here, wait for me to come back.”

Gu Yuan took the jade bottle, smiled lightly, and then meandered into the cave.

The girl was left standing nervously in front of the cave, staring nervously at the entrance.

"Fizz!"

Not long after, a violent scream came from the cave, which made the girl tremble in fear and frown.

But the sound went away just as quickly as it came.

Just when the girl was worried, Gu Yuan was already holding the jade bottle and walked out leisurely.

"Junior sister, fortunately you have lived up to your fate!"

Gu Yuan threw the jade bottle to the girl and smiled lightly.

"Wow!"

"It's really Caiyunsi, senior brother, you are so amazing!"

The girl opened the jade bottle and found a colorful cloud-like filament lying quietly, and she suddenly shouted excitedly.

The Caiyun Spider in the egg-laying state is extremely violent and powerful. It is difficult for monks at the seventh level of Qi Refining to suppress it. Previously, a monk at the seventh level of Qi Refining spent a full stick of incense to collect the spider. However, it only took Gu Yuan a few breaths. This huge gap made little stars suddenly appear in the girl's eyes.

"If you collect a ball of spider silk, you will get five spiritual stones!"

"With your senior brother's strength, it's really easy to earn twenty spirit stones in one day!"

The girl's expression was full of yearning, and then she sighed:
  "It's a pity that you can't have as much spider silk as you want. Otherwise, wouldn't Senior Brother be able to earn hundreds of spiritual stones in one day?"

When Gu Yuan heard this, he just shook his head and chuckled.

It is impossible to work part-time in this life.

The scriptures on spiritual practice all make it clear that it is difficult to accomplish great things by practicing diligently and hard.

Even if you don't do calamity cultivation, you still have to find ways to expand your financial resources, either by going to Yuanfa Hall to take on external tasks, or by learning a way to make money.

Is picking silk all day long a long-term solution?
  "If something happens to me, Junior Sister, you don't need to accompany me. A few Caiyun Spiders won't bother Gu. When the silk gathering is over, I will go and take over."

Gu Yuan said.

The purpose of his trip was not to collect silk at all.

There are many inconveniences when outsiders are around.

"Then I'll trouble you, senior brother. I just have to go cut the grass for Cangyun Linghe. I've done a good job, but there are three spiritual stones!"

When the girl heard this, she was also very happy.

A monk's time is precious, especially if she comes from a poor family. She can do more things without having to spend time with Gu Yuan.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few more words, and then the girl left.

Gu Yuan was the only one left in the vast forest and cave.

Gu Yuan went to two other caves and collected two pieces of spider silk. After confirming that there was no one around, he changed direction and walked towards the east of Linghe Island.

The forest to the east is lush, and the trees are all thick and simple, and they don’t know how many years they have been growing.

The farther east you go, the lower the terrain becomes, and you gradually enter a valley. In the valley, the trees become thicker and thicker, the ancient trees are towering, and the vines hang down, as if even the sunlight is blocked.

"Squeak!"

In the valley, the sounds of apes gradually began to sound.

Gu Yuan kept moving forward without stopping.

"Boom!"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of water surging ahead.

Gu Yuan looked up and saw a waterfall falling in front of him, spraying thousands of water sprays with a deafening sound.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan couldn't help but frown.

The stone liquid shows that the opportunity is ahead.

But...the waterfall blocks the way, so where is the opportunity?

"Could it be..."

Gu Yuan looked at the surging waterfall, thoughtfully.
