Chapter 111: Overall Strengthening
"I would like to advance this year's salary for worship."
Lin Shan bit the bullet and made this somewhat embarrassing request, but there was nothing he could do, he was really scared.
There is only one Wind Release Talisman in the Talisman Shop, and who knows if it will still be there in a few days. Moreover, I need to buy some other things and plan to adapt in advance, otherwise it may be too late to prepare by then.
Zuo Zhenren was surprisingly generous, perhaps because he was optimistic about Lin Shan's future and was willing to provide him with some conveniences.
It is also possible that a mere thousand spirit stones are nothing in the eyes of the big capitalist of the auction house, so they approved it directly for him.
Lin Shan went downstairs with Zuo Zhenren's approval note and found a group of appraisers and auction house monks gathered together to discuss Lin Shan's foundation construction. These dozen people did not expect that the real owner would come down so quickly, and they were all shocked.
Jump.
Then they complimented me with smiles and called me "senior" one after another.
After all, in the world of cultivation, strength is respected, and cultivation level is respected regardless of age. Whoever has a higher level is the "senior", and those who have achieved it are considered teachers, which has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Seeing his former comrades changing their expressions and calling them seniors, especially many old men saluting a "youngster" like him, Lin Shan was a little uncomfortable with this first experience.
It probably won't shorten your life...
I muttered secretly in my heart, but on the surface, I quickly accepted my identity, greeted everyone with a few words, and directly handed Zuo Zhenren's approval note to one of the female nuns in charge of finance.
"Advance one year's salary!"
The female cultivator couldn't help but exclaimed, then suddenly woke up and quickly covered her mouth. Seeing the strange looks from the people around her, she hurriedly ran to the back to handle the process for Lin Shan.
…
After receiving the twelve hundred spiritual stones, Lin Shan felt confident again and returned to the shop area with great vigor.
"Wind Escape Talisman, Fire Talisman, I bought them!"
The waiter looked at the spiritual stones in the storage bag and handed the talisman to him respectfully.
Next, Lin Shan directly swept through the entire store area and bought a lot of various travel supplies such as detoxification pills, miasma removal pills, water-repairing beads, rejuvenation pills, rejuvenation charms, healing ointments, night pearls, concentration incense... and so on.
.
After all, if you go to the East China Sea to join a major demon sect, you will have unforeseen blessings and disasters. You don't know what dangers you will encounter, so prepare more means to be prepared.
Finally, I went to the Zhenfa Xuan, which specializes in selling formations. I originally wanted to buy a set of defensive formations to protect my place of residence. However, I found that the cheapest spirit gathering formation costs 500 spirit stones, and it can defend the foundation stage.
The worst formation would cost several thousand spirit stones.
As a last resort, I had to settle for the next best thing and buy two sets of forbidden jade slips, one set of mysterious and forbidden jade slips, and one set of warning and forbidden jade slips.
Compared with the formation, the Forbidden Jade Slips are one level smaller in stability and power, equivalent to a simplified version, but it is cheaper. It can provide monks with a certain amount of reaction time to deal with troubles.
At this time, Lin Shan's pocket could be said to be dry again, completely empty, and he could not accomplish anything.
Originally, he thought about buying a few puppets to play with, and then buying a spiritual pet to cultivate, but... reality couldn't support his dream.
…
Back at his residence, Lin Shan took out the things he purchased and prepared to upgrade everything that needed to be strengthened, trying to ensure that he would not fall behind among the monks in the foundation-building period.
He had just broken through the early stage of foundation building, and he could be said to have entered a new level. But similarly, he who was dominant in the Qi training stage came to the foundation building stage, and became the lowest level again.
However, although his cultivation level is at the bottom among the monks of the same level, as long as other means can make up for it, he may not be able to play the pig and eat the tiger.
Lin Shan first took out the mid-level magic weapon Gale Flag and spent 16 points of Ancient Rhythm to directly strengthen it.
This big flag stood up out of thin air in an instant, and was wrapped in a cloud of mist. It was "buzzing" and trembling inside, and he didn't know what kind of transformation it had undergone. Finally, it fell into his hand and turned into
【Flowers of Falling Clouds】
Quality: High-end magic weapon
Introduction: Wind attribute magic weapon, engraved with five advanced inscriptions: sharpness, magic resistance, spirit gathering, concealment, and magic cloud.
Strengthening requirements: 32 points
…
"Huh?"
Lin Shan looked at the introduction and saw that the enhanced skill tree this time seemed to be biased toward stealth and transmogrification.
But this is not surprising. After all, the enhancement is inherently random. The Gale Flag is originally balanced in terms of offensive and defensive power. It is understandable that the enhanced Cloud Falling Banner has two other unwanted effects.
The head of the flag can be used as the tip of a spear, and can be used as an attacking magic weapon to achieve good results.
The banner body can be used to resist spells, but it is best not to be connected to weapons, otherwise it will be easily cut off by extreme attacking magic weapons.
The spirit gathering effect is a real auxiliary effect, there is nothing much to say.
Concealment is good, it can cover up the aura.
Combined with the magic cloud, it directly becomes a cloud in the sky, which can be said to be perfectly hidden.
"Multifunctional magic weapon!"
Compared with the ultimate physical defense of the Cloud Bronze Heart Mirror and the multi-attribute attacks of the Five Elements Fan, the Falling Cloud Banner can be said to have greatly made up for other means.
After Lin Shan practiced the sacrifice with his spiritual consciousness, he felt relaxed and happy. He urged the small flag to wrap around his body, and a long white cloud floated in the cave.
When passing by the big tree in the courtyard, you can even walk right through it.
Confusing the real with the fake is no different than the white clouds in the sky.
"Not bad!"
Lin Shan put away the Cloud Falling Flag with satisfaction, and after thinking about it, he still had no intention of upgrading the magic weapon.
Because that day when he was on Turtle Island in the East China Sea, Lin Fan seemed to have said when he took out the magic weapon of the Sea-Building Pearl that only the magic power of a monk at the golden elixir stage could activate the magic weapon.
Mana is the new energy produced by the golden elixir stage monks' condensation of golden elixir and the transformation of spiritual power. The foundation-building stage monks still have spiritual power in their bodies, but the quality cannot be compared with mana power at all.
Without being able to activate it, the magic weapon can only exert its original unique performance.
For example, the "water-repelling" effect of sea-repelling beads, or the sharpness of certain magical swords, the hardness of shields, etc. are passive physical properties that do not require activation.
Therefore, even if he strengthens himself into a magic weapon, apart from being unable to use it, he also loses a means in vain, which is obviously not worth the gain.
On the contrary, he took out the Wind Escape Talisman and the Fire Talisman from the storage bag. There would be no problem in strengthening the Talisman. After all, the Talisman can be activated directly without any prerequisites.
After thinking about the Wind Escape Talisman, Lin Shan decided to put it aside for now.
After all, if you use the Wind Escape Talisman during the foundation building period, you should basically be able to run away even if you can't defeat others. There is no need to strengthen it for the time being.
Moreover, the talisman is just a consumable item, and the wind escape technique is almost the same!
But the other Fire Talisman is different. This high-level talisman is just equivalent to a monk in the foundation building stage using a high-level spell to strike with all his strength. It is a good trump card for the Qi training stage, but for me now in the foundation building stage
But it is dispensable.
But he spent two hundred spirit stones to buy it for no other reason than to strengthen it into a small magical talisman and seal script!
The reason why he did not buy a high-level wind talisman to strengthen it, but insisted on buying this fire talisman. It was not because he had a soft spot for strengthening the "Fire Burning Sky Talisman", but because among the high-level talismans, only the fire talisman was the cheapest.
Compared to the price of two hundred spiritual stones for the Fire Talisman, the Wind Talisman can be sold for five hundred Spiritual Stones, which is something that a poor man like him cannot afford.
He has already overdrawn his salary from the auction house for the next year, and he can't make any money before leaving Yichuan. If he has a high-level talisman, he can just strengthen it first.
Anyway, he had seen the power Lin Fan used that time, and he had a basic idea of it.
"Fire Talisman, strengthen!"
The high-level talisman in his hand instantly filled the entire secret room with bright light. Numerous cracks appeared on the original ghost-painted talisman, and beams of light shot out, startling Lin Shan.
There seemed to be a shadowy figure on the talisman paper. He set up an altar to offer sacrifices, and the pen moved like a dragon and a snake. The free lines between heaven and earth were attracted, and finally merged into a fiery red square talisman seal.
【Fire Starts the Prairie Talisman】
Quality: Small Magic Talisman Seal Script
Introduction: The magic power of the fire system sealed in the talisman is like a fierce fire. It is equivalent to a monk in the late stage of the Golden Core using a small magical power to hit with all his strength. It is a group-wide damage and can only be used once.
Strengthening requirements: 64 points
…
This time it was strengthened again from the high-level talisman, which cost 32 ancient charm points, but it was worth it in exchange for an ultimate trump card.
The reinforced panel products are naturally high-quality products of the same level, and the quality and performance are directly top-notch.
In the later stage of Jindan, he can use small magical powers, even if it is not a single attack but a group-wide damage.
If you are in the center of the power during the Foundation Establishment Stage, you will most likely not be able to survive. Presumably, most monks at the early stage of the Golden Core Stage will be seriously injured.
"The Fire-Starting Prairie Talisman and the Fire-Burning Sky Talisman should have similar effects. Are they both a series of magical powers?"
Lin Shan didn't worry too much about the difference in names. Anyway, the introduction to the enhancement panel was clear and it had enough power. There was no need to take it too seriously. After all, the enhancement results were not exactly as he expected, so it was just about the same.
This little magical talisman of mine must be much stronger than Lin Fan's.
The talismans refined by monks of different golden elixir stages naturally have different powers. He is so confident in strengthening the panel!
Next, Lin Shan took out the "Wind and Thunder Technique" he bought during the Qi training period. The quality of the exercise also determines the quality of the spiritual power in his body. To strengthen it, he must choose the one that suits him best.
However, this enhancement is somewhat unexpected. The original "Wind and Thunder Art" seems to have a ready-made follow-up technique in the world of immortality, which has been developed by the predecessors and sages, so after the enhancement, it is still called "Wind and Thunder Art".
[Wind and Thunder Jue]
Quality: Foundation Building Technique
Introduction: Thousands of years ago, "Ouyang Feng", an abandoned disciple of the Zixiao Sect, created the "Wind and Thunder" second series of martial arts. After practicing, the spiritual power in the body is transformed into the wind and thunder, which doubles the power.
Strengthening requirements: 32 points
…
"Ouyang Feng, the abandoned disciple of Zixiao Sect?"
"To be able to create a dual-system martial art like Feng Lei Jue, he must be a famous figure!"
"Thousands of years ago? It doesn't seem too far away..."
"You can send an email and ask Lin Fan."
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Shan simply took out a transmission talisman, just in time to write a reply to Lin Fan's previous text message bombardment, and also included his curiosity about "Ouyang Feng".
Afterwards, with a wave of his hand, the transmission talisman flew to the mailbox of Yichuan Foreign Affairs Hall. Naturally, there would be a special postman "Hyacinth" from the cultivation world to deliver the letter for him.
Since I was really penniless, I had no choice but to set up "cash on delivery".
There is no way, it really isn't him, the casual cultivator is so embarrassed, he can only ask Lin Fan to help him give him a cushion first, and then pay it back when he has money...
After finishing this small episode, Lin Shan began to change the cultivation method. He only had 40 points of Gu Yun left, which he planned to keep for himself as a retreat.
After all, if you really encounter an irresistible danger, you will need to strengthen a magic weapon or a small magical talisman to resist it, and you will need at least 32 points of ancient charm support.
If there is no danger and he has reached the peak of the early stage of foundation building, he may need to strengthen the elixir again when he needs to break through. If he still does not find additional ancient rhymes at that time, the remaining ancient rhymes will be the precious pillar for him to break through.
After all, the Black Lotus Sect is a major sect of demons, with many masters in it. Although I have reached the foundation building stage, I am not sure whether I can come into contact with the Black Lotus Buddha statue and absorb the ancient charm. It is necessary to keep some ancient charm as a reserve.
Just like the foreign exchange reserves in previous lives, it protects against external risks.
In the last year now, the only thing he has to do is to change his technique as soon as possible.
