After Ye Shanhu left, Xu Changshou closed the courtyard door, then opened the storage bag and took a look. At this time, there were 23 spiritual stones in the storage bag. Xu Changshou looked at it again and again, as if he couldn't believe it was true. It was the first time in his life that he saw so many spiritual stones. "Xu Changshou, don't look at it. It's nothing great. You will earn more spiritual stones in the future." Xu Changshou secretly comforted himself in his heart. After eliminating distracting thoughts, Xu Changshou took out the fur of the yellow skin. Then, he used a fine steel sword to split the fur. The fur of the yellow skin was extremely hard. It took a lot of effort to split it into twelve parts. Each part was as big as cut jute paper. The yellow skin was too small, and splitting the fur into twelve parts was already the limit. The tail of the yellow skin was not moved, and it was kept to make pen refills.
Then, Xu Changshou took out the spiritual pen and began to draw talismans with the split yellow skin fur. He drew twelve pieces in a row, all of which were earth talismans. The earth talisman was the most defensive talisman among all the talismans he knew. There was a kind of talisman on Green Ink Peak, called the earth cover talisman, which was also a defensive talisman. The defense of an ordinary earth talisman was three times that of an earth cover talisman. The earth talisman drawn with the fur of a yellow skin had a defense two or three times more. Therefore, the defense of the earth talisman drawn with the fur of a yellow skin could be said to be invincible in the Qi Refining Period, and could not be broken by a non-foundation cultivator or magic weapon. Moreover, this kind of talisman could be used three times. If it were sold, it would definitely be more expensive than the wind talisman. But Xu Changshou was not going to sell such a good thing. Of course, he had to keep the good things for himself. After drawing the earth talisman, Xu Changshou put the earth talisman, the tail of the yellow skin, and the twenty-three spiritual stones into the jade talisman space. In the storage bag, only some ordinary talismans and some scattered spiritual stones were left. Xu Changshou usually puts valuable things in the jade talisman space, which not only has a large space inside, but also is more convenient to store and access than a storage bag, and can be stored and accessed with a thought. If Xu Changshou wants to use the earth talisman for defense, he can take the earth talisman in his hand with a thought. Of course, in order to conceal his tracks, Xu Changshou usually pats the storage bag when taking things. After everything is done, Xu Changshou continues to draw talismans, ordinary wind talismans. Next, Xu Changshou plans to stockpile a large number of wind talismans, at least enough for a year's mission. After stockpiling enough wind talismans, he will start a long-term retreat to prepare for breaking through the ninth level of Qi Refining. The longer the cultivation is, the longer it takes. Xu Changshou roughly estimated that if he took the Qi Condensation Pill, it would take at least one and a half years to cultivate from the eighth level of Qi Refining to the ninth level of Qi Refining. If he did not use the Qi Condensation Pill, it would take at least five years. Now that Xu Changshou has resources, he naturally wants to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining as quickly as possible.
Draw the talisman first. Xu Changshou began to work hard on drawing talismans, which took more than nine months, and he didn't stop until he had drawn 5,000 wind-running talismans. Of course, while drawing talismans, Xu Changshou did not forget to practice, but the progress of practice was slower when drawing talismans, and the effect was only half of the usual. In these nine months, Ye Shanhu came every month, and each time she would take away ten wind-running talismans from Xu Changshou. Xu Changshou's wealth grew wildly in these months, and now it has reached 108 spiritual stones. At this time, Xu Changshou just turned 18 years old. On a certain holiday. "Is Junior Brother Xu Changshou here?" A strange voice sounded outside the door. "Who?" Xu Changshou ran to open the door. He had never heard this voice before, but it felt a little familiar. "Hey, Junior Brother Xu, you'll know when you open the door." The voice outside was a little naughty. Xu Changshou pushed open the courtyard door and saw a slender and imposing boy standing at the door. The boy's face was full of smiles, and his facial features were very familiar. When he saw Xu Changshou, the smile on the boy's face disappeared: "Eighth level of Qi Refining, impossible, how could you also be at the eighth level of Qi Refining?" "Who do I think I am? It turns out to be Junior Brother Jiang. Long time no see." Xu Changshou smiled. After not seeing each other for two or three years, Jiang Xiaochuan has changed a lot. Not only has his voice changed, but he has also grown up completely. His height is almost the same as Xu Changshou. "Long time no see, Senior Brother Xu, Xu." Jiang Xiaochuan smiled bitterly. In the past two or three years, he has not come to Xu Changshou, just to break through the eighth level of Qi Refining, so that Xu Changshou can call him Senior Brother. You know, Xu Changshou's cultivation was higher than his, but his talent was not as good as his. He came later and broke through the seventh level of Qi Refining before Xu Changshou, so naturally he thought that he would definitely break through the eighth level of Qi Refining before Xu Changshou. Look, he came to Xu Changshou to show off right after the breakthrough, but he was slapped in the face. What Jiang Xiaochuan didn't know was that Xu Changshou had no resources and was less talented than him before. He would definitely not be as fast as him if he just relied on hard work. But now it's different. Xu Changshou can make money on his own and has no shortage of resources. In terms of resources, disciples from small families like Jiang Xiaochuan can no longer compare to him. With resources and Xu Changshou's hard work, it's natural that his current cultivation speed will surpass Jiang Xiaochuan.
But Jiang Xiaochuan didn't know Xu Changshou's situation. In his opinion, Xu Changshou's talent was not as good as his, his resources were not as good as his, the conditions of the mountain he was in were not as good as his, and the things he was doing were more difficult than his. Combining all the above, Xu Changshou could never surpass him in cultivation speed. But Xu Changshou also entered the eighth level of Qi Refining, which Jiang Xiaochuan found incredible. "Xu Junior Brother, tell me the truth, how did you break through?" Jiang Xiaochuan's tone was very unwilling. "Nothing, I got a little chance." Xu Changshou said casually. "No wonder, it turns out that this is the case. I said you couldn't be faster than me, it turns out that there was an opportunity." Jiang Xiaochuan spoke with a jealous tone. "Junior Brother Jiang, I heard that you are watching the medicine garden at Taiyi Peak, how do you feel?" Jiang Xiaochuan straightened his body when he heard the words, and said proudly: "Of course the conditions in our Taiyi Peak are good, much better than your Green Ink Peak where there is no shit. Moreover, the affairs of watching the medicine garden are very easy and do not delay cultivation." "That's good, that's good!" Xu Changshou nodded slightly. Jiang Xiaochuan's voice and appearance have changed, and he has changed a lot. He has lost his childhood innocence and has become a little mercenary. Of course, this is not Jiang Xiaochuan's personal wish, the environment of the sect is like this. At the beginning, when they were in Chu Xiufeng, they had no interests and were young, so they could get along well. But now, I'm afraid it's not possible. They have grown up and have their own ideas. I'm afraid they can never go back to the simplicity of Chu Xiufeng.
