Chapter 116: Building a Cave! Full Package or Half Package? (Subscribe)
[Ding! After consuming 1000 contribution points, you have been promoted from a low-level servant to a high-level servant.]

As 1000 contribution points were bid, a golden light flashed on Lin Mo's body, and his status was suddenly upgraded.

The blue shirt finally had three lines on its chest, making him look a bit like a captain among elementary school students.

The disciples around him also noticed the changes in him and were somewhat surprised.

"Fuck, so fast! Who is this guy who was sent in again?"

"The little brother is quite handsome!"

"Brother, do you want to learn more about the Sword Society?"

"The Secret Society welcomes you, Junior Brother!"

"..."

Faced with the students rushing towards him, Lin Mo quickly waved his hand to refuse.

"Thank you for the invitation. I just got off the immortal boat. I will definitely do it next time!"

"What? You'll get free contribution points when you join the club. Let's learn more about it."

"Forget it, bro. I'm really not a physical practitioner!"

"..."

Lin Mo squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty and ran out of the Trial Pavilion as if escaping.

"Fuck! Another big dog owner!"

Diao Youcai looked at his back and couldn't help but complain.

The saleslady next to me smiled and said:

"Anyone who can ascend so early must be a genius on this year's Immortal Ranking. Even if you apply for a loan, be careful and don't offend him!"

Diao Youcai propped his chin up, yawned, and said nonchalantly:

"So what? The people sweeping the floor over there, handing out flyers outside, or you and me at the counter..."

"Which one of you down there isn't a so-called 'genius'?"

"You can only know whether a person is a mule or a horse after he or she steps on the stage. Don't let yourself become a 'Daoyuan cultivator' like us."

Having said that, he smiled self-deprecatingly.

Hearing the words "Master Daoyuan", the salesgirl also sighed, lazily leaned over the table, glanced at the dazzling sun outside the hall, and felt that this year's summer was exceptionally long.

……

……

The sun is scorching and the green mountains are surrounding.

Lin Mo, with a steamed bun frog on his head, boarded the fairy boat and set off from the ferry of Qingyun Peak, preparing to visit the peaks of several departments along the ferry crossings of various mountains.

This is the most important main task in the novice trial - running the map.

According to Diao Youcai's introduction, although running maps is the main task, it is the simplest part.

As long as you step on every teleportation point at the ferry, the map is basically lit up.

And you don't need too many. The main peaks of the five major departments, plus the Sutra Library, the Sword Arena, the Purple Bamboo Forest, the Poisonous Miasma Valley...all these major teleportation points will be enough.

You just need to take the fairy boat and the trip can be completed in almost half a day.

As for things like hiking and sightseeing in Qingshan Sect, there will be plenty of time to do them later.

Lin Mo felt that what he said made sense, so he resolutely stepped onto the fairy boat and began to check in as he went along.

[Ding! Ling Jianfeng has opened the teleportation point. ]

[Ding! The teleportation point of Bibo Peak has been opened. ]

[Ding! The transfer point of Huoyun Peak has been opened. ]

【…】

Lin Mo stood on the deck of the fairy boat, and this time he saw it more carefully than he did in the morning when he was on the second-floor observation deck.

Almost every main peak of each department has its own characteristics.

For example, Ling Jianfeng from the Sword Academy is like a flying sword out of its sheath on the top of the mountain. As soon as you step into it, you can feel the sharp sword intent, which makes people feel scared.

The Bibo Peak occupied by the Jiugong Pavilion is the main peak formed by several hilltops. The hilltops are arranged in an orderly manner and look like a maze.

There is also the Huoyun Peak where the Weapon Spirit Academy is located. As soon as the immortal boat reached the top of the peak, it could feel waves of heat coming from below.

Its temperature is even more exaggerated than that of Lingdan Peak. If it weren't for the formations around the fairy boat, the steamed bun frog on Lin Mo's head might have turned into a cooked steamer frog.

"Quack~!"

Even so, it continued to make calls and then walked back and forth above Lin Mo's head.

Lin Mo had no choice but to pick it up and water it with the Rain-Sprinkling Technique.

“Puff, puff~!”

It was so comfortable that it lay on its belly, letting the rain continue to pour on its smooth belly.

Lin Mo looked at the bun-shaped frog rolling in his palm and forgot to ask Senior Sister Zhuang how to make a contract with a fairy.

With Xianzhou's unremitting efforts, he opened almost all the teleportation points of the main peaks of several departments. Until the Xianzhou docked at a new ferry, Lin Mo got off the Xianzhou with Mantou Frog.

[Ding! The teleportation point in the Spiritual Valley has been opened. ]

As the system prompts reached his ears, Lin Mo finally found the place where the most Qingshan Sect disciples lived.

There are a lot of caves here, from menial disciples to sect elders, basically all the caves are here.

The reason is simple. The large 4th-grade spiritual vein of Qingshan Sect is located in this valley surrounded by thousands of mountains. It spreads from the center of the valley to the surrounding areas, spawning thousands of large and small rd- and nd-grade spiritual veins.

Among them is the second-grade intermediate spiritual vein that Lin Mo obtained.

After he came out of the teleportation point, he found that apart from the Trial Pavilion, the Spiritual Valley had the most people.

There are people coming and going, and it is very lively.

There are stalls and shops on both sides. From a distance, it looks like a small town with bright lights.

Perhaps because he already had three lines on his chest, the sales staff did not rush to chase him.

Lin Mo looked at the surrounding vendors curiously while walking into the "town".

The vendors sell everything, including talismans, elixirs, spiritual food, immortal wine, materials, spiritual beasts, secret manuals of martial arts, insights...

Isn’t this the “small market” of Qingshan Sect?

Lin Mo approached the stall, squatted down and looked at a small fire lizard in a cage that was breathing fire, and asked curiously:
"Brother, is this little earth fire lizard also a fairy? Is it for sale?"

The senior brother who was setting up the stall frowned and looked at him: "You are already a three-line errand boy, why are you still asking such a low-level question? Fairies can only be rented, not sold!"

After saying that, he waved his hands impatiently:

"Go play, kids. Don't disturb me from setting up my stall."

Lin Mo: “…”

He really wanted to retort, "You don't look that old," but after thinking about it, he didn't say it.

Who knows whether the "brother" who looks about the same age as him is actually his uncle or grandfather?

Forget it. If you don’t know the age, just call him senior brother. If you don’t know the generation, just call him fellow Taoist. That’s right.

Lin Mo quickly found the cave registration office at the entrance of the valley.

From the outside, it looks like a building decorated like a "Lingji Business Hall" and has a very modern automated glass door at the entrance.

As soon as he walked in, he heard a voice:

"Haha, after living in this shabby thatched hut for two years, I can finally build a cave!"

I saw a menial disciple with three markings on his chest, dancing with excitement.

There were several disciples around him, who also flattered him.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother! Once this cave is built, won't your cultivation speed skyrocket?!"

"I'm so jealous. Building a cave is not cheap. I'm still short of 200 spirit stones."

"It seems that Senior Brother is one step closer to becoming an outer disciple!"

The disciple laughed and said:

"Don't be discouraged. I just started a few months earlier than you. Just do your quests and kill monsters well. You will get what you deserve sooner or later!"

Several people flattered each other and walked towards the door.

Lin Mo made way slightly, watched them leave, and walked towards the counter of the processing office.

The teller inside looked up at him and said, "Are you from Shenjian Cave Mansion? Do you have an appointment?"

Lin Mo shook his head and said, "No, I'm a new disciple and I'm here to register."

The teller looked at the Dao pattern on his chest with some surprise and said in astonishment:

"newborn?"

After seeing Lin Mo nod, he immediately laughed: "So you are the new junior brother, what's your name?"

"Lin Mo."

"Okay, let me see, your cave house number... 404. Hey, it's another Spiritual Vein Cave House!"

The teller looked up at him in surprise.

After hearing his exclamation, several errand disciples who had just walked to the door turned their heads and looked at Lin Mo, with a hint of surprise in their expressions, but more of envy.

All cave dwellings with house numbers within one thousand are cave dwellings with spiritual veins.

Although the number seems to be quite large, Qingshan Sect is a Taoist sect with a history of nearly a thousand years. There are at least tens of thousands of disciples in the sect, and in the lower realm, each of them is a genius like a dragon or a phoenix.

Despite this, there are only a few hundred disciples who can obtain the spiritual vein cave.

Moreover, most of them are the caves of the inner sect geniuses.

This shows how rare the spiritual vein cave is.

Lin Mo had no departmental insignia on him. He was just an upper-class errand disciple with three lines. He was obviously another special recommended student on the Immortal Ranking.

"Junior brother, I need to confirm your identity!"

The teller was surprised and said to him: "Please put your hand in the verification area, you can identify it yourself."

Lin Mo did not refuse and stretched out his hand and placed it in front of the machine in front of the counter.

[Ding! Confirmed identity: Lin Mo, cave house number: 404. ]

The machine's voice was broadcast accurately.

The teller nodded and said, "Sorry, this is the procedure."

After that, he handed a black room card to Lin Mo:
"This is the key card."

Lin Mo held the still modern room card and asked curiously: "Brother, what is the cave dwelling that those brothers just mentioned? Don't we all have assigned cave dwelling addresses?"

The teller smiled and explained, "Of course everyone has a residential compound, but not a cave."

Lin Mo showed a puzzled expression on his face. Isn't a residence the so-called "cave"?
Before leaving, Diao Youcai also looked as if he would be at a loss if he didn't take out the loan, but he didn't explain much.

The teller was not impatient, but patiently explained:
"In the Lingxu world, a cave is generally interpreted as a place for cultivation with a spirit gathering array."

"The sect will provide disciples with free housing, and even spiritual veins like this one, but it will not provide a spirit gathering array. Disciples need to find someone to build it themselves..."

After hearing the teller's explanation, Lin Mo finally understood the meaning of "Cave".

Although the entire valley is built on a spiritual vein, the spiritual energy in all the houses within this range is even richer than other places in the sect.

However, there is still a big difference between a cave with or without a spirit gathering array.

The teller smiled and said:

"Since you have a spiritual vein, as long as you build a spiritual gathering array, the effect of the spiritual energy bonus will definitely be much better than that of other disciples, and you can achieve twice the result with half the effort in your cultivation!"

Lin Mo naturally understood this principle and said, "Then how much does this spirit gathering array cost, and who should we look for?"

The teller said to him, "Wait a moment."

After saying this, he made a simple sound transmission gesture with his hands and said to his slightly glowing fingers:

"Er San, I have business, come over here!"

Not long after the message was transmitted, a figure appeared at the door of the registration office.

Lin Mo turned around and saw a tall man in a smart suit walking in while wiping the sweat from his forehead:

"A new face, a new junior fellow apprentice?"

Lin Mo bowed and said, "Hello, Senior Brother. My last name is Lin."

"Oh, my last name is Shan, and my given name is Ersan. You can call me Shan Ersan or Ersan, whatever you like."

"Hello, Brother Shan."

Er San waved his hand and said with a smile, "You don't have to bargain when I call you brother. What's the house number?"

"Number 404." Before Lin Mo could say anything, the teller helped.

"He is a newcomer to the Immortal Rankings. Please be polite. Junior Brother Lin, this is a senior from the Physical Education College. He practices both civil engineering and engineering. They are in charge of most of the caves in the sect."

There was a hint of surprise in Ersan's eyes:
"Another spiritual vein cave? Tsk, what a big order!"

Then, he looked at Lin Mo and asked, "Full package or half package?"

What a modern word... Lin Mo thought to himself and asked, "Is there any difference?"

Er San explained: "All-inclusive means we are responsible for all the materials, such as this spirit gathering array, such as ochre yellow essence, black iron, and wood withered vine..."

"Don't worry, they are all made of high-quality materials. The effect can reach that of an intermediate spirit gathering array, and the warranty is three years!"

"Number 404... If I remember correctly, it should be a second-level medium-quality spiritual vein? The spiritual energy bonus effect for second-level cultivation must be no less than 2%."

When Lin Mo heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

The aura bonus effect is 40%, what an exaggerated bonus.

In Nanshan's spiritual energy training room, the highest spiritual energy bonus is only 20%, and that is at level 1. Now it has doubled!
Of course, a 40% increase in spiritual energy does not mean that the speed of cultivation is increased by 40%.

The utilization rate of spiritual energy by a cultivator is determined by his qualifications.

The higher the talent, the higher the utilization rate of spiritual energy.

As a five-element spiritual root, Lin Mo's utilization rate is naturally not as good as that of other geniuses with single or double spiritual roots.

But no matter what, the spiritual energy bonus is definitely helpful for practice.

"By the way, our all-inclusive service includes the reclamation of spiritual fields. The specific cost depends on how large an area you need to reclaim, Junior Brother."

Ersan added.

Cultivating spiritual fields on spiritual veins is one of the "side jobs" that disciples who possess spiritual veins can engage in.

Lin Mo had heard Zhuang Weiwan say several times that as long as the business was managed well, he could earn a considerable amount of extra income.

There are even some monks who specialize in spiritual plants and can cultivate rare spiritual plants and sell them at sky-high prices.

Lin Mo asked curiously, "Brother Shan, how much is this all-inclusive package?"

Er San answered without thinking:

"For an all-inclusive package, the price is usually around 5000 to 5500, and the payment method can be contribution points or low-grade spirit stones."

5000 low-grade spirit stones? You still need to build a market!
Lin Mo complained in his heart and found that after entering Qingshan Sect, it seemed that spirit stones were needed everywhere.

This has just solved the problem of contribution points for miscellaneous tasks. Building a cave also requires a large amount of contribution points and spirit stones.

This is not cultivating immortality, it is clearly cultivating spirit stones!

He sighed in his heart, but asked unwillingly, "What about the other half?"

Er San replied, "Half a pack is cheaper, one price, 1000 low-grade spirit stones!"

Lin Mo: "Well, actually it's okay not to build it..."

Shan Ersan smiled and said:
"Brother, don't think it's expensive. Not to mention the materials for your spirit gathering array, you will need to find three array masters from the Jiugong Pavilion just to set it up."

"You don't know, those formation masters are more arrogant than each other, and their fees are more expensive than each other. At least 600 spirit stones are required."

"As for cultivating spiritual fields, renovating houses, and building... these are all hard labor. Our fees are only 400 spiritual stones, which is really not high."

It seems that it is not high, but I can’t afford it... Lin Mo took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and then asked:

“Is there any way to make quick money?”

Shan Ersan was stunned for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice:

"Junior Brother Lin, cultivation is just like being a human being, it is better to be down-to-earth. Look at me, my senior brother. I have worked hard for five or six years since entering the Sports Institute, and I have accumulated a solid foundation."

"How much have you saved?" Lin Mo asked.

I saw Shan Ersan stretching out three fingers.

"Three thousand?"

"Young man, don't be too ambitious. It's three hundred low-grade spirit stones." Shan Ersan shook his head and said:

"This is already very good. My teacher told me that if I work hard under him for ten years, I will be rewarded with a magical boxing skill."

"..." Lin Mo was too tired to complain.

It seems that Danyuan is much better than Physical Education College.

At least you can get subsidies by accepting master-disciple tasks in the Alchemy Academy, and there are more benefits after officially becoming an outer disciple.

Not to mention that the pills they refine are sold at a high price, the subsidy alone is more than a hundred low-grade spirit stones a year.

Zhuang Weiwan is the richest of the rich women, she has so many Qi-boosting pills that she doesn’t even notice when one was lost.

In comparison, this senior from the Sports Academy does work worth thousands of spirit stones, but gets paid like an ox or a horse...

As if seeing Lin Mo's expression, Shan Ersan explained:

"Junior brother, you may not know this since you have just entered the sect, but the boxing skills are extremely rare."

"If I can learn a boxing technique, maybe I can have a chance to climb the Liangyu Ranking!"

When he said this, his eyes lit up slightly and his expression became somewhat excited.

Good Jade List?
This was the second time Lin Mo heard of this list.

"Brother Shan, what exactly is this Liang Yu List?" he asked curiously.

He just asked, and heard a series of prompts refreshed on his interface:

[Ding! Changes in the Liangyu Ranking, Chu Wange's ranking increased: 634 → 498]

[Ding! The Liangyu list has changed. Chen Xuanzhi has entered the Liangyu list, ranking: 999th]

[Ding! The Liangyu Ranking has changed. Feng Ji has entered the Liangyu Ranking, ranking: 1000]

……

As the system prompt ended, Shan Ersan looked at him and said jokingly:
"Junior brother, don't you want to make 'quick money'? This Liangyu List is a way to make 'quick money'!"

　It’s a big chapter of 5K, and there will be another chapter later. It’s not recommended to wait.
