Chapter 105 Wallet Problem
After sending away the naive and gullible wolf demon with some confusing words, Jiang Xia returned to the study.
Even though it was late at night, he was still full of energy and had no intention of falling asleep. He held a bag of immortal coins in his hand, absorbing pure spiritual energy in his hand, swallowing it into his body, and converting it into his own spiritual power in the small circulation.
At the same time, he began to study the magical Su Yi Sutra.
There is nothing much to say about the technique itself .
Its difficulty, no, the difficulty of all exercises lies in completing the circulation of spiritual energy in the body. Once this is completed, the next thing to learn will be very easy.
It is equivalent to a gun. After assembly, debugging, testing, and loading the magazine with bullets, the next thing to do is to take this gun and learn to shoot the enemy or stab your own people in the back.
"Transform spiritual energy into a shield. Let me see. This is what it should be."
Jiang Xia read the passage word for word like a diligent college entrance examination student, and then, according to the description of the book on the circulation of spiritual energy, he pushed the spiritual energy accumulated in his body to spread it to the outside world.
It's very much like a resonance process.
After adjusting the speed, strength and dispersion direction of the spiritual energy, a few seconds later, a faint, eggshell-like, translucent light shield covered Jiang Xia's body.
After the mortal marrow was cleansed, the body was already able to bear the load of spiritual energy. The moment the Su Yi Curse was completed, Jiang Xia felt that the spiritual energy accumulated in the body dissipated a little.
If one were to maintain the Su Yi Spirit Shield, the spiritual power would dissipate even faster.
"As Liu Hui said, this Su Yi Jing is useful, but it really doesn't have any offensive spells. It only comes with a defensive spell."
Jiang Xia flipped through a few pages and closed the book helplessly. He had memorized the information in the book through a chip and it had been stored in his mind, so he basically couldn't use it anymore.
However, although there are only a few spells included, the use of spiritual power is very flexible.
Jiang Xia drew the spiritual energy from another fairy coin, but did not absorb it. Instead, he gathered the spiritual energy in his hand, just like he was playing with plasticine for the first time, imitating the way that Ma Tishu had performed in front of him.
It was fun to mold this spiritual energy into various shapes, but when I first started learning, I couldn't master the techniques and strength, and the animals I molded all looked like strange creatures.
Even my mom doesn't recognize it. It's a visual pollution.
"boom"
Finally, he fashioned a spiritual dagger and slammed it hard on the table. Without using any spell, he attacked in the most original form of spiritual energy. The effect was really disappointing.
A ball of spiritual energy hit the table, leaving only a scratch, making Jiang Xia shake his head repeatedly.
He thought of what Liu Hui had said just now, and felt that after entering Mo Shuang Mountain, he must learn another offensive technique, lest he be without any means of self-protection...
Hey, wait, that's not right!
Jiang Xia suddenly blinked, opened the secret cabinet at the bottom of Liu Ruyi's favorite desk, and took out a thin book from next to several boxes of immortal coins.
"The Divine Martial Self-Sacrifice Technique... isn't this thing used for attacking? Just from the name, I was an ordinary person before and couldn't sense spiritual energy, so naturally I couldn't use it.
But now, it works.”
Jiang Xia's eyes lit up and he opened the thin book. The book only had a few pages and only recorded two spells, or techniques.
Divine martial arts, and the strategy of self-sacrifice.
The former is to draw a large amount of spiritual energy into the body in a short period of time, and use the method of wrapping and dispersing the spiritual energy to enhance the power of various martial arts and weapons.
The latter is an explosive skill.
Divided into three levels.
It can increase physical strength and speed by half, double or triple in a short period of time.
The most amazing thing is that these two spells are very simple, even simpler than the use of the spiritual shield in the Su Yi Sutra. Jiang Xia just looked at them several times and pondered them for a few minutes before he mastered these two techniques.
He stood up, took a deep breath, and the moment he opened his eyes, his magical martial arts were activated. The spiritual energy of the entire study room seemed to be swept by a storm, and was pulled into Jiang Xia's body from all directions.
In this short period of less than ten seconds, Jiang Xia felt like he was filled with air like a balloon, and a sense of power arose spontaneously.
He poured all the spiritual energy he had temporarily gathered into his left arm, and the surface of his mechanical body was covered with a layer of light that swirled like a veil.
"boom"
The Self-Sacrifice Technique was also activated in the next moment, using the lowest 30% of the force to wash away the already powerful force of Mortal Marrow, doubling it instantly, plus the power stored and exploded inside the mechanical prosthesis.
The weak discharge of the capacitor affected the shape of the spiritual energy wrapping. As Jiang Xia punched down, it was like a flash of lightning flashing before his eyes.
"boom"
The sturdy mahogany desk was broken by Jiang Xia's punch. Wood chips flew everywhere and the desk broke into two pieces, collapsing to the ground. The middle part was completely shattered into debris.
Given the strength of this wood, the effect caused by Jiang Xia's punch was comparable to the impact of a grenade explosion. Even he himself was shocked by the destructive power of this punch.
"If it is the highest level of self-sacrifice 90%..."
Jiang Xia slowly withdrew his left hand, squinted his eyes, and looked at the shattered debris on the ground. He thought:
"One punch can probably kill a cow, no, it's possible to kill a rhinoceros or an elephant. Is this the power of magic?
A combination of elementary spells can create such power.
Love it. "
While thinking this in his mind, Lao Jiang's eyes fell on his clothes.
Just now, when the Self-Sacrifice Technique was unleashed, the exquisite long gown on his body was shattered by the outward-rushing spiritual energy, like butterflies falling from petals, and scattered everywhere.
After throwing a punch, he became the "Clothes-Exploding Man", with only a pair of bare pants left on his body.
"What's the Divine Martial Self-Sacrifice Technique?"
Jiang Xia stood up shakily and complained:
"With this clothes-blasting effect, wouldn't it be better to just call it Fist of the North Star?"
This punch also used up all of Jiang Xia's pitiful amount of spiritual energy. Compared to the comfortable feeling just now, Jiang Xia now felt as if he had been hollowed out.
That empty feeling in my body is terrible.
He grabbed a few immortal coins, absorbed some pure spiritual energy, and without paying attention to the broken table under his feet, went to find a new set of clothes to put on.
Su, who was patrolling here, heard the explosion and stuck his head out to look into the house. Jiang Xia waved to him and Su continued to do his own thing.
"The money I have is not enough."
Jiang Xia sat there, thinking about how to use the immortal money he currently had to fill his body with spiritual energy and break through the Qi training stage faster. After thinking it over, he found that it was not enough.
"The spiritual energy of the spirit stone cannot be used directly. According to Shi Liu, only the spirits born and raised by nature can ignore the cleansing of the original violent spiritual energy.
So, where can we get some more pure spiritual energy?"
As he was thinking, Jiang Xia's eyes fell on a porcelain bottle placed somewhere else. He pursed his lips, walked forward, and uncorked the bottle.
He tilted his head back and poured a few Spirit Gathering Pills into his mouth like sugar pills.
As the teeth bit open the pill, a strong medicinal fragrance burst out in the mouth, followed by a hot current flowing into the body, and the speed of spiritual energy absorption and circulation increased dramatically.
"Sure enough, taking drugs to cultivate immortality is the right path."
He rubbed his hot belly, and took another look at the immortal coins that were scattered on the ground. After weighing the pros and cons, he found that directly drawing the spiritual energy from the immortal coins was not as effective as taking drugs.
However, not every cultivator can make elixirs. Taking medicine without thinking can lead to death, and this also applies to cultivators.
"It seems that there is only one alchemist left that I know of besides Wang Liufu and his master."
Jiang Xia took out his purse, rummaged through it, and pulled out an exquisite jade pendant. He held it in his hand and injected some spiritual energy into it, and the simple patterns on the surface of the jade pendant were activated.
He sat back on the armchair as if he was holding a cell phone, put the communication talisman to his lips, and said:
"Master Ma, are you busy?
I have something to tell you... Yes, it's the Soul Gathering Pill you gave me before. I tried it and it tastes good and is very effective.
Master Ma, you are worthy of being the leading senior in the cultivation world of our Fengming country.
Well, I want to buy some more from you... Immortal, don’t worry about why I want so much, I’m sure it’ll be useful, and I’ll only buy your brand, Immortal Ma.”
"Yes, you can buy it with immortal money or exchange it with spirit stones. It's up to you."
"As for the quantity...how many do you have?"
"Ten bottles? Too little! Can you speed up the furnace training? I want thirty bottles, yes, at least thirty bottles. The quality doesn't matter, upper or middle quality is fine, as long as it's not low quality.
Besides, we are so familiar with each other, and I want so much, can you give me a discount? Honest and fair, no bargaining? Okay, okay, then ten immortal coins per bottle.
I don't have enough immortal money, so I can use spirit stones to pay for the rest, okay?"
Ma Tishu, the immortal Ma from Sanque Mountain, was a good talker. Jiang Xia finalized the deal with just a few words, and both parties were very satisfied.
Ma Tishu also promised that he would help Jiang Xia collect some Spirit Gathering Pills from the circle of contacts in Sanque Mountain in the next few days.
Of course, there will be some hard work pay.
This low-level magical communication stone was the first time Jiang Xia used it, but he found it quite easy to use. He felt like he was holding a newly released fruit machine in his hand.
Unfortunately, you can only make calls to one person and not to multiple people.
He turned over the stone engraved with the talisman and took a look. Sure enough, in the bottom corner of the stone, he saw a Mo Shuang Mountain logo. This thing was also a product of Mo Shuang Mountain.
Previously, Wang Liufu said that Mo Shuang Mountain almost monopolized the circulation of inferior magic weapons in the Immortal Alliance cultivator circle. It seems that he was not bragging.
But there are only more than 30 people in Mo Shuang Mountain, and the internal strife is so fierce. How do they manage to meet the supply of mid- and low-level magical instruments for the entire cultivation world?
At this moment, Jiang Xia became more and more curious about the sect he would join in the future.
“It’s still not enough.”
Jiang Xia stroked his chin, and the computing power of the chip in his mind started to work at this moment. He used the spiritual energy of the fairy money in his hand and, according to the cultivators, the ten degrees of pure spiritual energy as a scale. He felt the gathering and transformation of the spiritual energy in his body.
The chip created a data model, and after several minutes of complex calculations, he came to a disappointing conclusion.
In order to fill his body with spiritual energy and break through the Qi training stage, he would need at least ten thousand degrees of pure spiritual energy, which is one thousand ten-degree immortal coins, converted based on the purchasing power of immortal coins.
This is roughly equivalent to Kunlun Square having to sell two thousand five hundred spirit stones, or taking at least one hundred bottles of medium-grade spirit-gathering pills.
One hundred bottles!
Eat as a meal.
It’s enough to feed Jiangxia for three or four days.
How is this spending money?
This is just a waste of money!
No wonder those casual cultivators, who practice from scratch and reach the Qi training stage, generally need three, four, five or six years. It’s not that they don’t work hard.
It is true that in this game of cultivating immortals, zero-paying players really cannot afford to get hurt.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia suddenly became angry and cursed in a low voice in the study:
"Liu Ruyi, Liu Ruyi, why do you have to use your precious immortal money to plug Liu Chu's dog hole? Wouldn't it be better if you could save all the money and leave it all to me?
This won't work. Relying solely on selling spirit stones to make money is too slow. The cultivation circles in Fengming Country are all small families with limited purchasing power. We have to think of a way to make money quickly.
or……
Sell a missile to Marty?
The destructive power of that thing can be considered a low-level, disposable magic weapon. However, I haven’t gone to the City God Temple to clarify the incident with the electromagnetic heavy sniper last time.
It's too eye-catching to take this thing out now, and it's hard to price it. These monks don't understand the benefits of these little cuties."
As he was thinking, Jiang Xia's gaze fell on the wooden box hidden under the large wooden bed carved with dragons and phoenixes, and under the crane-billed incense burner.
That star array...
"How about trying it out like Liu Bao? If we are lucky this time and find a small spiritual world with abundant resources, then our bicycle can be turned into a motorcycle.
Pomegranate is one of us.
Aren't you afraid that it will inform the Immortal Alliance... Well, this job is doable!"
