YM778.TV Chapter 336 - 336: What Kind of Formation Battle is This?
Accompanied by Liu Xiaowan, Qin Changqing had already made some discoveries.
The main things he was seeking this time were spiritual grasses and medicines that could assist in breaking through bottlenecks, which were extremely rare.
Moreover, these spiritual grasses and medicines often do not have particularly large effects in other areas, so the Guiyuan Sect did not cultivate them in large quantities.
After spending several days scouring the Spirit Medicine Mountain within the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, Liu Xiaowan took Qin Changqing to the west.
Half a day later, they arrived at a mountain which housed a natural Catholicon Garden of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.
The garden was ‘natural’ in the sense that the Ten Thousand Beast Sect did not alter the environment, but merely obscured it with an Array Formation and stationed some people to guard it.
Upon entering, Qin Changqing found out that the environment was indeed special. The spiritual medicines that grew here were influenced by the environment and therefore had unique effects.
However, the density of spiritual medicines was also low, as any excess would disrupt the environment.
The method of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect in letting the spiritual medicines grow freely had its merits.
Nonetheless, this method required vast spaces.
This gave Qin Changqing an idea. With the vastness of Taixuan Peak, he could simulate different environments in the future through Array Formations, specifically to cultivate some rare spiritual medicines.
Actually, large Immortal Gates would also consider the growing environments of different spiritual medicines, albeit not in a fully natural and free manner like the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.
“The primary plants growing here are the Xin Yi Hua and the San Yang Mu. The bark and juice of the San Yang Mu are excellent ingredients for elixir refining,” Liu Xiaowan began explaining.
“San Yang Mu?”
As Qin Changqing looked at the tree, he descended to inspect it and couldn’t refrain from revealing joy in his eyes.
He peeled off some of the bark from the San Yang Mu. Afterward, he also harvested some Xin Yi Hua.
“Let’s move on to the next spot
Liu Xiaowan once again led Qin Changqing onward.
In the entire Southern Region, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect owned countless natural Catholicon Gardens. The patient Liu Xiaowan led Qin Changqing to visit each and every one of them.
In this manner, they spent more than half a year visiting thousands of these natural Catholicon Gardens.
The harvest was quite remarkable.
Qin Changqing obtained many herbs that could be used to refine elixirs targeting bottlenecks.
Apart from these, Qin Changqing also collected some rare herbs. The most useful ones, in his opinion, were those usable for refining Ding Xin Dan.
The Ding Xin Dan, according to a fragmented ancient recipe collected by the Xuanti?n Academy, had text that was very ancient, making it hard for others to decipher.
Qin Changqing felt that this recipe was possibly brought out from the Holy Land by the Xuanti?n Academy Sect Leader.
This concoction had a significant effect in suppressing Heart Devils when they were about to appear, thus allowing one to regain lucidity at critical moments.
The chance of encountering Heart Devils was lower than the occurrence of bottlenecks, but while bottlenecks wouldn’t be fatal, encountering a Heart Devil was extremely precarious and could be described as a life and death situation.
Elixirs for dealing with Heart Devils were also very rare. Most were types of Gan Dan, such as Jing Xin Dan and Shen Zhen Dan, capable of calming you down.
But none were as useful as the Ding Xin Dan.
Qin Changqing was preparing to refine it. He probably wouldn’t need it himself, but refining one or two for reserve couldn’t hurt, as they might be useful at some point.
Actually, the real key to dealing with Heart Devils was to steady every step.
Hone your temperament, don’t have unrealistic desires, be mindful of every step you take, and always attend to the cultivation of your mind and temperament.
But with his Golden Finger, Qin Changqing had no pressure even in the most dire situations.
Other cultivators weren’t so lucky.
Now, his descendants and concubines were numerous.
Having one or two as backups, it was better to be safe than sorry.
After obtaining these things, Qin Changqing did not rush to leave. He intended to visit the Ten Thousand Beast Sect
To purchase some spiritual beasts.
“The spiritual beasts are all here. You can choose whichever you like. These creatures all have good bloodlines and power. However, you need their approval. If you want to get a spiritual beast for your children to companion, it is best to raise it from infancy,” Liu Xiaowan led Qin Changqing to the Beast Mountain of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and explained.
Indeed, there are many spirit beasts here.
It is not difficult to gain the approval of these beasts. With Qin Changqing’s strength and the elixirs he specifically makes, He quickly tames two Deifying stage spirit beasts.
Well, mostly due to the elixirs.
With these two spirit beasts being dazzled by the elixirs, the other spirit beasts show goodwill to Qin Changqing. They all follow him faithfully.
Liu Xiaowan was amazed watching this as well.
These two beasts, both defensive in nature, are a giant spirit turtle and a beast with a rhinoceros horn, called the Qing T6u Jin Y?n Shbu.
One beast is placed in the Qin family’s Luo City, and the other in Su City.
As for the Qin family in Taixuan Peak, there’s no need for the beasts.
“We don’t have a lot of Deifying stage spirit beasts; at most, we can only give you two,”
Said Liu Xiaowan.
Then, Qin Changqing selected many younglings, such as a bird with multi-colored wings called C?i Feng Wü, which he prepared for Qin Tian.
He also chose a pure white, cute-looking unicorn for Mengmeng.
These young creatures can grow up alongside their new guardians.
When picking beasts for his daughters, Qin Changqing naturally chose female creatures.
After a round of selection, Qin Changqing’s bounty was quite abundant. “Xiaowan, calculate how many Fairy Stones these will cost. If I don’t have enough, I can repay you by refining some magical treasures or elixirs,”
Said Qin Changqing.
“Haha, Qin Changqing, no need for formalities, we have plenty of these in the
Ten Thousand Beast Sect, you can take them all.”
A voice then spoke out.
It belonged to a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties and exhibited a Void Refinement aura. A woman stood by his side.
Upon inspection, these must be Liu Xiaowan’s parents.
Liu Xiaowan’s parents had long passed on the responsibilities of the sect to her.
“Father, Mother, why are you here?” Said Liu Xiaowan.
Indeed, they were her parents.
“Greetings to the both of you.”
Qin Changqing was very polite.
“I heard the most famous genius in our Vast Wave Realm came to the sect, how could I miss it? Qin Changqing, I organized a banquet and prepared some fine wine. Come on, let’s drink to our heart’s content’
Liu Xiaowan’s father was very enthusiastic, came forward, and ushered Qin Changqing along.
Liu Xiaowan had no choice but to follow.
Indeed, her father arranged a lot of good stuff, including Monkey Wine.
“The Monkey King is in the stage of Void Refinement now. The wine produced is even better. I got this recently.”
Said Liu Xiaowan’s father.
Upon tasting, Qin Changqing found it better than what Bi Hai had brought back.
The banquet was indeed joyful.
However, Qin Changqing had a feeling that when Liu Xiaowan’s parents were observing him, their gaze resembled that of future in-laws looking at a son-in-law.
Liu Xiaowan, on the other hand, had become surprisingly quiet.
Her hands clasped together, looking somewhat shy.
What’s going on here?
But until the end of the banquet, Liu Xiaowan’s father didn’t mention anything else.
“Qin Changqing, about the Fairy Stones, don’t mention it again. If we say we will give them to you, then we will. If you feel indebted, help us improve this Great Array. I’ll have Xiaowan assist you.” Liu Xiaowan’s father spoke.
Qin Changqing accepted this proposal..
