Qin Bao, Shen Long, Ye Yuqing, Ye Yutang, and Li Lei sat in the Stone Pavilion, drinking and chatting.
Shen Long didn’t come empty-handed; he brought the Green Moon Peaches he had bought.
“Sister Ye, Junior Brother Shen, Junior Brother Li, are you interested in going out to hunt Monster Beasts to earn Kind Attribute points?”
Qin Bao asked.
For him to secure a good ranking in the competition wasn’t easy; at the very least, he needed to buy a set of mid-grade Magic Artifacts.
He simply couldn’t pull out that many Spirit Stones from his own resources and planned to go out hunting Monster Beasts.
The strength of Ye Yuqing and the other three was not weak, especially Ye Yuqing and Ye Yutang, whose Spirit Beasts and Spirit Birds were formidable, and they also had a large number of first-grade Talismans.
As for Shen Long, there was even less need to say; he was like a walking Human-Shaped Magical Instrument with particularly fast casting speed and substantial power in his art techniques.
“I don’t have such a plan!”
Ye Yuqing tactfully declined.
She could earn Kind Attribute points by submitting her Talisman Crafting work to the Spirit Control Sect, and she could also have Qian Dafu help her sell them to earn Spirit Stones.
“I don’t have such a plan for the time being.
Senior Brother Qin, are you going out to hunt Monster Beasts?”
Shen Long inquired.
After taking a sip of Spiritual Wine, Qin Bao nodded and said, “To get through the entrance exam, I spent Spirit Stones to buy powerful Talismans and one-time use Magic Artifacts.
For more than two years since joining, I’ve been living off my savings, and the stipend given by the sect can only cover my living expenses.
To secure a good ranking in the competition, I need at least a set of mid-grade Magic Artifacts.
I’m already in my thirties, and the competition three years from now is my only chance to get a Foundation Establishment Pill; otherwise, relying on Kind Attribute points, I won’t be able to save up thirty thousand by the time I’m forty.”
As is well known, before one turns forty is the prime time for Foundation Establishment.
After forty, the difficulty of establishing one’s foundation significantly increases.
“Yeah!
We Loose Cultivators don’t have it easy.
Having the chance to join the sect already cost us a lot of Spirit Stones, unlike Senior Sister Ye, who can make Talismans to earn Spirit Stones.”
Li Lei said, his face filled with envy.
“Having managed to join the Spirit Control Sect, I’m still young.
If I can’t get the Foundation Establishment Pill in the competition three years from now, there’ll be another chance.
Senior Brother Qin, you should look for someone else!”
Shen Long spoke honestly.
If he wanted a Foundation Establishment Pill, all he had to do was take out his Spirit Control Token.
In three more years, Shen Long wouldn’t yet be thirty.
Since the grand competition occurred every ten years, he could still participate in two of them.
It wasn’t necessary to go out and hunt Monster Beasts.
“Count me in!
This time I only made it into the top fifty.
It will be difficult even to make it into the top three hundred in the big competition, and without giving it a shot, I won’t be able to achieve foundation establishment.”
Li Lei declared.
Qin Bao nodded, then steered the conversation to other topics and went on to chat idly.
Half an hour later, Shen Long, Ye Yuqing, and Ye Yutang bid their farewells and left.
“It’s understandable that Sister Ye doesn’t wish to join us, considering she can earn Spirit Stones by making Talismans, but it’s strange that Junior Brother Shen also doesn’t want to join us.”
Li Lei speculated.
“He indeed has a talent in art techniques, and he also possesses a full set of mid-grade Magic Artifacts, plus he’s young.
A good ranking in this competition, followed by a reward, and then a good placement in the minor competition three years later to win another reward, using these prizes to purchase Cultivation Resources, could enhance his own strength,” Qin Bao analyzed, his face showing envy.
If he were ten years younger, he would do the same.
“Well, if they don’t want to join us, let’s find others to collaborate with!
To achieve foundation establishment, we’ve got to try our best!” Qin Bao said in a deep voice.
The Spirit Control Sect had tens of thousands of Qi Refinement disciples, but not many could advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
He didn’t want to die just a Qi Refinement practitioner.
As Shen Long approached the Qingmei Courtyard, he saw Lin Cheng and a chubby, red-robed young man standing at the courtyard’s entrance.
“Senior Brother Shen, you’re back.
Congratulations!
Great result in the minor competition, Senior Brother Shen!” Lin Cheng congratulated, his face filled with envy.
Shen Long nodded, his gaze falling on the red-robed young man as he asked, “And who might this Junior Brother be?”
“This is my youngest son, Lin Shan.
Shan’er, this is the Senior Brother Shen I’ve told you about,” Lin Cheng introduced.
The red-robed young man stepped forward, gave a fist salute, and said, “Junior Brother Lin Shan, pleased to meet Senior Brother Shen.”
Shen Long opened the restriction and invited them in.
“Senior Brother Shen, I’ll continue to help you with the cultivation of Silver Marrow Spirit Rice.
I don’t need Spirit Stones.
Would you be willing to offer some pointers on cultivation techniques to Shan’er when you have some time?” Lin Cheng asked expectantly.
This time, with Shen Long’s good ranking in the competition, if he were willing to mentor Lin Shan, there was no doubt Lin Shan would progress.
Even if Lin Shan didn’t make any advancements, at the very least, he would know Shen Long, which could help in building connections in the future.
“Guide Junior Brother Lin’s cultivation techniques?
I really don’t have that much time,” Shen Long tactfully refused.
“It won’t take much of Senior Brother Shen’s time.
Whenever you’re free, just contact me, and I’ll come over.
A little guidance will suffice,” Lin Shan assured, not expecting to learn too much but hoping mainly to cultivate a relationship with Shen Long.
“All right!
I’ll be going to the Green Cloud Palace to retreat and cultivate for a while, so Junior Brother Lin will be in charge of the Silver Marrow Spirit Rice then.
When I come out, I’ll provide some guidance on cultivation techniques for Junior Brother Lin,” Shen Long said.
“No problem, with me here, there won’t be any issues with the Silver Marrow Spirit Rice. freewebnoveℓ.com
You can rest assured, Senior Brother Shen!” Lin Cheng assured, patting his chest.
Lin Shan presented a blue ceramic jar to Shen Long and said, “Senior Brother Shen, this is Spirit Honey brewed by Silver-Winged Flaming Bees, a small token, please don’t see it as presumptuous.”
“You keep it for yourselves,” Shen Long declined.
“Senior Brother Shen, you’re too polite.
It’s just a jar of Spirit Honey, not worth a few Spirit Stones, and we don’t offer gifts like this often.
Consider it a congratulatory gift for your top fifty placement in the competition.
We don’t have much valuable to give,” Lin Cheng said, his face filled with hope.
“Alright then, I’ll accept it.
These are some insights I’ve gained from practicing art techniques, Junior Brother Lin.
Take these and see if they’re helpful.
If you have any questions, you can come and find me.
If I’m available, I’ll answer them,” Shen Long responded.
