Mysterious Indeed, We've Struck It Rich
"Yunjing, it's strange. Why do I feel that my understanding is more profound and deeper while refining pills here? I wonder if this is just my imagination?"
Ding Qifeng frowned and spoke.
Logically, this shouldn't be the case.
For a second-grade Alchemist
If you can't even sense this, then the amount of water is too high.
Li Yunjing smiled.
This is the purpose of the Alchemy Chamber.
In particular, it increases alchemy experience accumulation by 30%.
Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only 30%.
For a second-grade Alchemist
That's enough.
"Uncle Ding, perhaps it's just my imagination," Li Yunjing said with a mischievous smile.
Ding Qifeng looked at Li Yunjing's smile with a puzzled expression.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Ding Qifeng asked.
Li Yunjing stopped smiling and said, "Uncle Ding, some things are indeed a bit mysterious. I'm not sure if they're true or not, so I won't tell you."
I'll tell you more clearly once you feel the same way I do.
Ding Qifeng frowned upon hearing this.
Li Yunjing's words confused him.
Without explaining much, Li Yunjing took the True Condensation Pill refined by Ding Qifeng and left the Alchemy Chamber.
This True Condensation Pill is only a top-grade first-rank pill.
It had little effect on Li Yunjing.
However, it would be quite useful for the five disciples under the Luozhen Sect.
Li Yunjing listed the True Condensation Pill as a short-term exchange item.
Ten Minor Merit can be exchanged for a True Condensation Pill.
Ding Qifeng refined a total of eight True Condensation Pill.
Each of the five disciples may take at least one pill.
Li Yunjing found Mo Xuan and handed him the True Condensation Pill, asking Mo Xuan to keep it safe.
Afterwards, Li Yunjing went to the Sutra Repository.
Here are the gifts presented by the guests who came to attend the Foundation Establishment Banquet today.
Shui Yao was leading her five disciples in sorting through all the congratulatory gifts.
The six people were very excited.
Cheers erupted one after another.
Upon seeing Li Yunjing arrive, Shui Yao immediately grinned and said, "Sect Leader, you've come at the perfect time! The Luozhen Sect is really going to be rich today!"
Shui Yao presented a list.
The list above contains the prepared congratulatory gifts.
Li Yunjing took a look.
The first thing is Spirit Stone.
There are a total of 5,673 pieces.
They're all inferior.
Even so, it was still a considerable sum for the Luozhen Sect.
You should know that this Foundation Establishment Banquet was held in order to...
The expenses of the Luozhen Sect are also considerable.
It cost nearly a thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stone to invite Lin Xuan from the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.
This is just Lin Xuan's wages.
The kitchen helpers that Lin Xuan brought also had to be paid extra wages, but since their status was not as high as Lin Xuan's, their wages were not high.
Besides the labor costs, the ingredients were also prepared by the Luozhen Sect themselves.
Lin Xuan was only responsible for cooking; he didn't do the purchasing of ingredients.
Not to mention the spiritual wine and fruits used at the Foundation Establishment Banquet.
In total, a Foundation Establishment Banquet was held, which used up most of the Spirit Stone stones that Luozhen Sect had accumulated in the previous period.
I had previously accumulated over 3,800 Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
In the end, only seventy Low-Grade Spirit Stone remained.
Fortunately, this time the gift not only covered the expenses but also generated a surplus.
This only includes Spirit Stone; some other spiritual items are not included.
Overall, the Luozhen Sect made a considerable profit from hosting the Foundation Establishment Banquet.
It's no wonder that some Lineage or sects like to hold banquets.
The sheer volume of gifts I receive is enough to make my scalp tingle.
Besides Spirit Stone, there are a total of twenty-three first-grade spirit items.
There are only five types of spirit items at the second rank.
This did not surprise Li Yunjing.
Most of the guests who came brought Spirit Stone as gifts.
The number varies, but generally starts at fifty Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
Those with closer relationships receive more gifts.
If you don't have a good relationship with someone, giving them a fifty-yuan note as a token of your appreciation is enough.
As for sending specific spiritual items, that would require having a very good relationship with the Luozhen Sect.
After all, the spiritual items given as gifts cannot be of low value and must be very useful.
Otherwise, it would be more straightforward to just send Spirit Stone directly.
Besides the number of spirit objects
Who sent what congratulatory gift?
They were also recorded one by one on this list.
Li Yunjing kept all of these things in mind.
Especially Luo Qiyuan, who not only gave seven hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stone as a congratulatory gift.
They also gave me a second-grade spiritual item.
This was a huge favor for Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing cannot afford to ignore any happy events that may occur at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in the future.
Return the list to Shui Yao.
"You've all worked hard. You take one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stone, and each disciple can take fifty as a reward," Li Yunjing said.
Upon hearing this, Hu Ruizhu and Hu Ruiyang, two of the younger disciples, cheered with joy.
The other three were older and more mature.
Although excited, I remained very restrained.
"Thank you, Sect Leader!"
The five of them thanked them in unison.
Shui Yao was also very happy, but she quickly calmed down.
Lowering her voice, Shui Yao said to Li Yunjing:
"Senior brother, isn't this a bit too extravagant? The Luozhen Sect just acquired so many Spirit Stone."
Li Yunjing smiled and said, "Junior sister, you don't understand. Money spent can be earned back. The Spirit Stone you spend can always be earned back."
Besides, this is a reward for you, not something you're not going to use for good.
Whether you use the Spirit Stone for cultivation or to buy spiritual items, as long as they improve you, it's a good thing for the Luozhen Sect.
Don't overthink it. It's just a few Spirit Stone; the Luozhen Sect wouldn't hold onto them so tightly.
After hearing Li Yunjing's words, Shui Yao's worries gradually disappeared.
After leaving the Sutra Repository, Li Yunjing glanced at the sky.
The sky had darkened considerably; it was almost night.
That's enough for today.
Li Yunjing planned to return to his cave abode.
Cultivate diligently and strive to reach the Foundation Establishment Late Stage as soon as possible.
Tomorrow, Li Yunjing plans to go to Xunxian Town.
Several buildings also need upgrading.
Moreover, Zhang Hongzhi and other craftsmen will be coming to the Luozhen Sect tomorrow.
This was agreed upon beforehand.
Li Yunjing plans to build structures such as the Talisman Chamber and the Spirit Vein Pavilion.
First, we need to complete the construction of some basic sect buildings.
Later, we will build some buildings that are unique to the Luozhen Sect.
Li Yunjing had quite a few strange ideas in his mind.
For example, the Heroes' Monument, the Luozhen Sect Market, etc.
Once the Luozhen Sect has developed, Li Yunjing will be able to realize all these ideas.
The following day was the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Li Yunjing left the cave abode early.
He entrusted the management of the Luozhen Sect to Mo Xuan.
Li Yunjing, acting as a hands-off manager, Wind-Riding Escape to leave Serene Valley.
Li Yunjing did not use his full power in the Wind-Riding Escape this time.
After practicing the Wind-Riding Escape several times in the training ground,
Li Yunjing's mastery of the Wind-Riding Escape technique is getting stronger and stronger.
Li Yunjing estimated that he was not far from achieving the minor success level.
Once Wind-Riding Escape reaches the Lesser Completion stage...
Not only will the Law Power cost of casting be reduced,
It will also be faster.
As Li Yunjing headed towards Xunxian Town, he pondered the supplies he needed to purchase that day.
First, Li Yunjing planned to buy the basics of formations.
This was something Li Yunjing had decided beforehand.
In order to set up a simplified Seventy-Two Sword Killing Formation.
Li Yunjing plans to teach himself how to set up battle formations.
Fortunately, there is a library for studying scriptures, so self-study is not difficult.
Secondly, Li Yunjing also needed to purchase all the materials required to set up the Seventy-Two Sword Killing Formation.
A first-grade Seventy-Two Sword Killing Formation requires twenty-four first-grade magic swords.
In addition, a second-grade magic sword.
That's not difficult.
You can just buy it with Flower Spirit Stone.
A few hundred Spirit Stone would be about right.
However, before buying the magic sword, Li Yunjing needs to carefully consider which buildings to upgrade.
Then consider whether you have enough Spirit Stone to purchase upgrade materials.
To avoid putting the cart before the horse.
When I buy the magic sword, I won't have enough Spirit Stone to upgrade it.
After all, yesterday's congratulatory gifts had greatly increased Luozhen Sect's savings.
However, Li Yunjing could not squander his wealth recklessly.
"The Alchemy Chamber needs upgrading, so Uncle Ding must stay. Therefore, the herb garden can't be neglected either..."
