Chapter 193: Beidou Spiritual Fire - Obtaining Spiritual Objects
Where is the most valuable thing in a sect?
Perhaps for most cultivators, it is the sect warehouse, the tens of thousands of spirit stones, a variety of magical instruments, and a dazzling array of spiritual objects in the warehouse.

But for Xiao Chen, none of the above things are the key points.

What he valued most were precisely the various ancient books, travelogues, and biographies that the Cang Yan Sect had collected over thousands of years.

Therefore, after he easily rushed into the mountain protection formation with the True Yang Fire Dragon and killed the three foundation-building cultivators who stayed behind.

Xiao Chen rushed to the Sutra Library as soon as possible, killed some minions who tried to take advantage of the situation to steal the secret books, and then began to pack up all the books here.

This is a big project and it needs to be categorized if you want to make it easier to access in the future.

At least you need to pack the books that are useful to you separately.

Therefore, he deliberately cleared out three empty storage bags to store ancient books, martial arts techniques, and other miscellaneous books.

"Jingkong's Travels in the Sea", "Memoirs of Treasures Seen in the Eastern Region", "Ten Common Ways to Identify Sea Monsters"...

"Good, good, good. As expected of a sect that has existed for over three thousand years, it really does hold a lot of information."

Xiao Chen looked at the collection of books in his hands and couldn't help but smile.

You know, these things may not seem to provide direct combat power, but they can greatly expand a person's knowledge.

Since ancient times, knowledge has been a very important power.

By reading these books, you can gain various experiences and lessons from other people's experiences.

This may sound a bit empty.

However, another very intuitive effect of increasing knowledge is that it can help you distinguish different objects from all over the world in the cultivation world.

It was because he learned about the function of the five-colored jade coral in "Journey to the East" that it helped him to form the golden elixir so quickly.

After patiently spending three hours to clear out the place.

Xiao Chencai leisurely turned around and went to the Cang Yan Sect's sect warehouse.

Then I met an unexpected person here - Xiong Qiming.

He was the head of the Xiong family who had held the public auction in Gravel Valley.

At this time, three hours had passed since the mountain protection formation was broken, and the remaining cultivators had already fled for their lives.

But Xiong Qiming stayed on purpose, wanting to secure a future for his family.

The Xiong family’s recent situation is not ideal.

The subsequent matchmaking event held after the auction did not help the Xiong family attract more independent cultivators.

So when the Lihuo Clan was conquered this time, the other families all had various tasks, but the Xiong family was left behind.

Not to mention eating meat, I couldn’t even drink a sip of soup.

But the world is so wonderful, as the saying goes, "Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise."

Instead of attacking the Lihuo Gate, the Xiong family escaped disaster and avoided being wiped out by Master Yunxiang.

Not only that, the moment Xiong Qiming saw Xiao Chen attacking the mountain, his heart was shocked, and he recognized that familiar face at that time.

After a brief moment of fear, he resolutely came to the sect's warehouse.

"Greetings, Immortal! The Xiong family is willing to submit to you and serve you for generations. We beg you to take us in!"

Xiong Qiming knelt on the ground with a thud and bowed his head.

Although being a servant for generations may sound miserable, in fact many people cannot have such an opportunity even if they try their best.

"I neither need nor want servants."

Xiao Chen waved his hand gently, signaling him to leave on his own.

"I would like to offer the golden scroll inherited from my family, and ask the Immortal to grant me your blessing!"

Xiong Qiming lowered his head, but held a golden scroll high in his hands: "The Cang Yan Sect secretly cultivates the Beidou Spirit Fire, and their evil ambitions are all recorded in this scroll."

In fact, this thing is not a family inheritance at all.

Rather, it was because Jin Jian Zhenren considered that it would take at least half a year to defeat the Lihuo Sect, and in order to find someone to look after the Beidou Spirit Fire, he gave the maintenance instructions.

"Beidou Spirit Fire?"

Xiao Chen picked up the golden scroll curiously, unfolded it and read it.

hiss~!

It is a third-level fire seed, and has been nurtured in the spiritual vein for more than three thousand years. It has now reached the peak of the third level and is expected to break through to the fourth level in the future.

He instantly realized that this was a good thing that could be used to deal with the White Bone Demon Body.

The only problem is that it is very difficult to upgrade this kind of innate spiritual fire, and there may not be enough time.

Xiong Qiming, who was waiting on the side, added in time: "Master, this Beidou Spiritual Fire can devour other fires, thereby strengthening itself."

"Back then, the Cang Yan Sect forcibly took away my family's ancestral spiritual fire for this very reason."

This is true. The Xiong family gradually declined after losing the spiritual fire.

When Xiao Chen heard this, his eyes lit up. The Lihuo Sect naturally also had spiritual fire. The Chen family had one, and the Jiang family also had one.

In addition, there are three flowers in the sect's merit hall, and Master Ming Yan owned one in his early years, for a total of six flowers.

Of course, in addition to targeting one's own sect, one can also consider going to Hezhou to make some exchanges.

In short, as long as the Beidou Spirit Fire can be quickly promoted through external objects, it will be of great value to cultivate for oneself.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen put away the golden scroll and said, "Where is the Beidou Spirit Fire? Take me there to see it."

Become!

Xiong Qiming was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly stood up and led the way.

He led Xiao Chen around to the back mountain of Cang Yan Peak and drilled into the main spiritual vein from an ordinary crack in the ground.

There are even two formations in the middle that are arranged independently based on the spiritual veins.

The former is responsible for shielding the spiritual consciousness and preventing hostile monks from discovering the secrets here.

The latter is responsible for detecting intruders and then calling the police, and promptly notifying the monks in the sect of the invasion by outsiders.

However, the sect's main hall was now empty, and no one could hear the sharp warning sound.

Pass through the formation and come to the dark room.

I saw a six-foot square platform in front of me, with mysterious inscriptions carved on it.

On the platform, a slightly dim spark was suspended in mid-air, rotating quietly and slowly.

A large amount of spiritual energy in the surroundings was mobilized by the inscription and evenly injected into the spiritual fire.

The temperature in the dark room was not very high, and it was difficult to recognize even if one stood in front of it. This spiritual fire had actually reached the third level, and was expected to be promoted to the fourth level in the future.

"This spiritual fire doesn't seem to recognize its master?"

According to Xiao Chen's initial judgment, the reason why the Beidou Spirit Fire looked unremarkable was probably because it had not yet been sacrificed and collected by a cultivator.

Therefore, the spiritual light is restrained and the charm is hidden.

"Reporting to the Immortal, this spiritual fire was originally cultivated by the Immortal Jinjian, but it was suddenly collected not long ago."

This is also one of the reasons why Xiong Qiming dared to surrender to the enemy. He knew that Jin Jian Zhenren would never come back.

"Oh? In that case, why leave such an important spiritual fire here?"

According to Xiao Chen's personality, he must carry such an extremely important thing with him to ensure that it is safe.

"Your Excellency, based on the relevant books I've read recently, it seems to be related to the promotion."

Immediately afterwards, Xiong Qiming listed several book titles in succession.
.
Xiao Chen took out the books he mentioned from his storage bag on the spot.

Only then did he realize that the seemingly inconspicuous stone platform in front of him was actually a fire-breeding platform purchased at a high price from the Eastern Region.

If you take the Beidou Spirit Fire off the stage and take it into your body before it is promoted, you will inevitably lose some years.

Simply put, it's best not to move.

"I see, you do have a heart."

Xiao Chen put away the book, and while he extended his hand to release his true essence to refine the spiritual fire and recognize its master, he asked, "But in this way, the spiritual fire will have to stay here for a while longer."

"Then someone needs to keep an eye on it to prevent it from being damaged by some unscrupulous thieves."

"Are you willing to stay here for a while and help me take care of the spiritual fire?"

Since the other party already has experience in taking care of the spiritual fire, it would be better to let him continue to guard the spiritual fire.

"I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse!"

Xiong Qiming was overjoyed when he heard this. Although he tried his best to control his expression, he couldn't help but reveal a look of joy from the corner of his eyes.

He was very unhappy about being thrown here to guard the spiritual fire.

But now that he got this job, he was ecstatic.

As long as they can hold on to this new support, the Xiong family will have the opportunity to expand rapidly as the other major families in the surrounding area lose power.

Xiao Chen left the Demon-Exorcising Hall manager's token with his name engraved on it and asked Xiong Qiming to keep it as a token of trust.

Then he turned back to the warehouse, destroyed the outer protective restrictions, and swept up the supplies here.

There were already a lot of storage bags prepared for the disciples in the warehouse, so he didn't have to worry about having too many things to carry.

In one breath, he collected all the things in it except the spiritual herbs and spiritual minerals.

Irrelevant matters are omitted.

There are three important things in the warehouse.

The first one is as many as twenty-six top-grade magic weapons, including five robes and seven shields, with a total value of at least 380,000 spirit stones.

Although Xiao Chen no longer needs the top-grade magic weapon, he can still earn a large sum of spirit stones by selling it.

The second thing is a set of backup formations.

It includes 864 formation flags, 636 formation plates, and a total of 20 schematic diagrams.

"What a complicated formation!"

Xiao Chen took a quick look and felt dazzled. This was clearly a third-order formation, and its name was the Five Elements Chain Loop Formation.

It looks like a defensive formation.

"Logically speaking, this should be worth at least three or four hundred thousand spirit stones, right?"

He wasn't too sure about this thing either: "Even here in the Southern Region, I'm afraid it's hard to find a buyer."

The third-level formation can still rely on the spiritual veins to operate on a daily basis, but once it is fully activated, the consumption is extremely high. An ordinary foundation-building family may not be able to afford it even if it is given away for free.

And it’s not used very often, so who are you using it to protect against?

The other foundation-building families have enough second-level formations, but if they really have to face a Jindan-level enemy, they can't rely on this kind of dead thing.

"But it doesn't matter. When we go to the Eastern Region later, there should be a market there."

After dealing with the Divine Fire Sect, Xiao Chen will definitely have to go to the Eastern Region to find the fourth-level spiritual object left by Huangquan Dao. He can wait until then to take action.

The third thing is much simpler.

That is the spirit stone left by the Cang Yan Sect in the sect.

There are a total of two thousand mid-grade spirit stones alone, which is equivalent to two hundred thousand.

As for the ready-made low-grade spirit stones, there were a total of 686,990 of them.

A large box of the Cang Yan Sect can hold two thousand spirit stones, so a total of three hundred and forty-four boxes were used.

Xiao Chen divided the spirit stones into three separate storage bags before collecting them.

"One, two, three... twenty-three!"

At this time, he was carrying a total of twenty-three storage bags, which could no longer be tied to his belt, and even his arms and sleeves were almost full.

From the outside, he was obviously a lot fatter than before he came.

"And the matter of the storage ring must be put on the agenda as soon as possible." Xiao Chen himself also felt bloated and couldn't help but start thinking about the rumored storage ring.

For him now, the space in the storage bag is obviously too small.

Speaking of which, the three Jindan masters of the Cang Yan Sect also used storage bags, and he had not had time to refine and count the harvest.

The main reason was that they were worried that if they arrived too late, the Sutra Library or the sect's warehouse would be emptied by the remaining monks of the Cang Yan Sect.

Now that he has everything in his hands, he can open the storage bag with confidence.

Although both are storage bags, the storage bag of a Jindan Zhenren obviously has an extra layer of true essence restriction compared to that of a foundation-building cultivator.

Therefore, the difficulty of refining has also increased significantly.

It was Xiao Chen's first attempt and it took him a full hour to open the first one.

After gaining some experience, it took another hour and a half to successfully crack the remaining two.

Unlike the sect's warehouse, the three real people's storage bags only contained a total of 113,200 low-grade spirit stones.

But there are a total of 3,800 medium-grade spirit stones.

I think if it weren't for the consumption of the formation on the front line, he would probably only carry medium-grade spirit stones.

In addition, the contents of the storage bag have been reduced a lot.

An obvious feature is that various small objects that were often seen in the past have disappeared.

For example, low-level spiritual herbs and strange minerals are nowhere to be found.

For example, the common spare magic tools and secret manuals of martial arts have disappeared without a trace.

Instead, there were three top-grade magic tools packed in a yellowwood gift box, which seemed to be gifts prepared to be given to the people below.

But that doesn't mean their storage bags are empty.

On the contrary, there are many more sets of equipment here.

For example, a complete set of tea sets made of top-grade instruments, including teapots, tea bowls, teaspoons, tea spoons, etc., fifteen items.

Another example is a complete set of talisman-making tools, which are also made up of top-grade magical instruments, including talisman pens, talisman ink, talisman paper, talisman seals... and so on.

There are even four major musical instruments: sheng, guan, di and xiao.

This set of musical instruments is even more outrageous. Each one has the quality of a top-grade magical instrument, and requires at least twenty mana or four true essences to drive it.

"Is Jindan Zhenren so free?"

Such behavior will undoubtedly greatly waste the monks' time.

However, Xiao Chen changed his mind and understood the reason.

The other Jindan Zhenren have long lifespans and their cultivation is not as fast as his. Naturally, when they are bored, they will try to do something else to relieve their stress and develop some personal hobbies.

From this perspective, there is an invisible benefit to choosing a featherweight fighter.

That is, it allows him to quickly obtain positive and negative feedback and feel his own improvement in a short period of time.

This will prevent a lack of self-control during practice.

It can even make him like the feeling of practicing at such a rapid pace, and thus easily become an ascetic monk in the eyes of the world.
.
In addition to the above items, there are nine booklets, six jade talismans, four bottles of elixirs and three storage boxes in the storage bag.

Xiao Chen took a quick look and found that the nine booklets contained four earth-level spells, three mysterious-level spells, one earth-level inheritance and one mysterious-level inheritance.

It means little to him now, so he directly put it into the storage bag where the Sutra Library's skills were previously placed.

The six jade talismans are all attack talismans.

Given his current situation, it seems that he won't need it much.

It was obvious that these ordinary talismans were far inferior to the magic he cast himself.

The first two of the four bottles of pills are Huiyuan Dan, which can quickly restore true essence, and the last two are Buyuan Dan, which can slightly help increase true essence.

They are all the most common third-level pills, which are basically better than nothing.

"I hope there are some useful things in this storage box."

Xiao Chen was speechless after receiving a bunch of things that he couldn't use directly.

Even though he couldn't use it himself, he could exchange it with other Jindan Zhenren, or sell them all for spirit stones.

However, the former has an extra process, and the latter is even more troublesome.

There is no market for it here in the Southern Region. Just imagine which foundation-building cultivator would spend all his money to buy a top-grade magical bamboo flute?
Therefore, the so-called sale will either become a disguised gift or will not be sold at all.

He still hoped to get some practical spiritual objects directly.

Fortunately, a surprise was found in the first storage box.

"Returning to the Origin Divine Stone!"

Inside the box, there was a special spiritual stone that was gray-brown in color and had twelve sides, each of which was a regular pentagon.

It weighs about 5,555 kilograms when held in the hand.

It was exactly the same description that Xiao Chen had seen in "Memoirs of Rare Treasures".

He used his spiritual sense to detect it and indeed felt that there was a trace of earth energy in it, as if it contained a piece of land.

"That's what I said, how could there not be some good stuff?"

The Guiyuan Divine Stone is a top-level third-order earth-type spiritual object that is no less powerful than the Central Qihuang Sand.

Refining this substance can be of great help to cultivators in comprehending the great way of earth.

Or it can be used as one of the important materials for refining defensive spiritual weapons.

Since third-level spiritual objects are scarce in the Southern Region, usually, the Jindan cultivators in Lizhou will use up some third-level spiritual objects within a few days after obtaining them.

The reason why this Guiyuan Divine Stone was kept was probably because it was intended to be used to refine spiritual weapons.

Now it just happened to be a good deal for Xiao Chen.

He then opened the second storage box.

"Is this... Nanaka Biboshi?"

In front of me was a thin thread with seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, with a total length of four feet and nine inches.

Every inch is a different color, cycled seven times.

Xiao Chen stretched out his index and middle fingers, carefully picked up the thin thread, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, and immediately smelled a light and elegant fragrance.

Then he moved an inch and smelled it again, and this time it suddenly turned into a warm fragrance.

As described in Journey to the East, each different color has a distinct fragrance, hence the name Seven Fragrance Bibaosi.

By refining the precious silk, monks can effectively improve the quality of their true essence.

At the same time, within seven days, your body will have different fragrances in turn.

Of course, Seven Fragrance Biboshi also has other uses.

In addition to direct refining, it is more often used to prepare incense, or as an important material for some special third-level elixirs.

If you meet a cultivator like Yaoshang Zhenren, he might use it as a spice.

However, since it has fallen into Xiao Chen's hands, he will naturally only use it for cultivation.

Put away the Seven Fragrance Bibo Silk for now and open the last storage box.

What appeared before his eyes was a crystal clear crystal, and one could vaguely see a mysterious rune sealed inside.

"Hey, what is this?"

This time, Xiao Chen really couldn't recognize it. He had never seen such a thing before, nor had he seen a similar description.

When I think about it carefully, it is indeed unheard of.

"Okay, I'll be looking through ancient books when I get back anyway, maybe I can find some clues."

It must be something extraordinary since it could be solemnly stored in a storage box by Jindan Zhenren.

Xiao Chen was not in a hurry and put it back into the storage bag properly.

Now that the Cang Yan Sect has been dealt with, we have also avenged the "pruning plan".

Next, it’s time to go back and settle accounts with the Jiang family.

Just because Xiao Chen doesn’t think about some things doesn’t mean he has forgotten them. He just doesn’t want them to affect his mood.

In fact, he always has a little notebook in his heart.

Remember kindness while remembering grudges.

I asked Elder Chen about the conditions for eliminating the Jiang family.

Now that he has achieved the Golden Elixir and met the requirements, there is no need to wait any longer.

At the same time, on Qiyun Peak.

A large number of monks received orders for major cleaning and decoration without knowing what was going on.

The lanterns and ribbons that were usually used during the Chinese New Year were taken out and spread all over the mountain.

All the people in the Miscellaneous Service Peak were mobilized, and even a true disciple came to the teaching academy.

"I?"

Old Man Wu pointed at himself in surprise, a trace of confusion flashing in his slightly cloudy eyes: "Uncle Heng, why did you suddenly ask me to go to the sect hall? Did something happen?"

He was suddenly awakened by a loud noise in the middle of the night yesterday and didn't fall back asleep until the early hours of the morning.

I'm confused at the moment.

Now he suddenly received a notice asking him to go to the sect's main hall, and he suddenly became nervous.

He just didn't go to morning class this morning. Just send a steward or even a supervisor to inform him. Is it necessary to summon him to the sect's main hall to meet the sect leader?

Old Man Wu wanted to find out about the situation on the way, but he didn't know how to start.

Before I knew it, I had reached the main peak I hadn't seen for a long time and arrived in front of the majestic sect hall.

After forty years, he came here again, and he felt as confused as he did back then.

As he took a step forward, he almost tripped over the high threshold.

"You must be Instructor Wu."

"For your meritorious service in teaching my disciples, I will grant you a Dharma instrument as a reward."

"Put on your robes as soon as possible and wait here for a while. Do you understand?"

When he came to his senses, he had a brand new crimson robe in his hand.

He was inexplicably called by the headmaster, and was stripped of his robes. Old Man Wu was completely unconscious.

In all his years of teaching, he had never experienced such a scene.

Looking down, he found that the robe in his arms was actually an extremely precious top-grade magic weapon!

Oh, and I need to change it as soon as possible.

Old Man Wu suddenly remembered the important matter and quickly injected his magic power into trying to refine the robe.

However, with his cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining, he was simply unable to drive this top-grade magic weapon.

After struggling for a quarter of an hour, he finally had to manually unbutton his clothes and put on the robe.

Even so, he suddenly felt as if he had become much more energetic.

This novel experience made him feel both surprised and frightened.

What’s surprising is that I can still have the opportunity to obtain a top-grade magic weapon in my lifetime.

The terrifying thing is that he still doesn't know what happened.
Just looking at the disciples dressed in red and green everywhere, I vaguely feel that this should be a good thing?
　Thanks to the book friend "Le Za Jun" for the reward and support!
