Just now, Lu Xiaotian had a kind expression towards Yu Bao, but as soon as he returned to the bamboo house, his expression suddenly became gloomy.
The reason why he chose to live in this barren mountain with thin Spirit Qi was because he considered the spiritual items he had on him and his need for alchemy. He didn't want to fall into the eyes of others. After all, whether it was the hundred-year-old Scarlet Ice Mulberry Leaves to feed the ice silkworms, the herbs needed for alchemy, or the large amount of Beast Spirit Pills to increase the leopard's strength.
If Yu Bao stayed nearby for too long, he would definitely notice something was wrong.
He didn't expect Qian Dali to be so shameless and unscrupulous. He actually sent Yu Bao over to force him to submit. If he was just an ordinary cultivator, it wouldn't be a big deal.
But if he showed anything wrong, it would be easy for Qian Dali, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, to deal with him.
"I can only hope that Yu Bao will stay nearby for a few days before leaving. Otherwise, I'll have to think of another way." Lu Xiaotian calculated.
In the following days, Lu Xiaotian opened up a few spirit fields like an ordinary cultivator and scattered a lot of spirit herb seeds. Then, he tried to refine a few cauldrons of Spirit Condensing Pills, but because Yu Bao was spying on him, he couldn't concentrate and the pills were wasted. He only refined a few cauldrons of Beast Spirit Pills for the leopard.
In addition to refining pills, Lu Xiaotian also took on a few chores in the Servant Hall to earn spirit stones. He also asked Yu Bao a lot of questions.
"Could it be that Martial Uncle Qian is mistaken? Lu Xiaotian is just an ordinary cultivator and doesn't show the slightest abnormality. Martial Uncle Qian is really a strange person. " Yu Bao muttered to himself as he watched Lu Xiaotian fly to the other chores on the spirit crane as usual.
However, Lu Xiaotian's heart sank to the bottom as he sat on the spirit crane's back. He underestimated the patience of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Perhaps Yu Bao was just a useless chess piece of Qian Dali. After all, Foundation Establishment cultivators had many things they didn't need in the past. Just a few of them were enough to make Yu Bao work for him. For an entire month and a half, he behaved like an ordinary cultivator. He only refined a few cauldrons of pills, and then relied on the previous Qi Gathering Pills to cultivate. However, the sixth layer of Qi Refining already consumed a lot of Qi Amassing Pills, and the remaining ones weren't enough to sustain the later stages of cultivation.
Now, he already had the method to concoct the Spirit Concentration Pill, but with Yu Bao constantly watching from the side, he could not concoct the pills continuously like before. Otherwise, if he concocted dozens of cauldrons of pills in a month, even an idiot would be able to tell that there was something wrong with him. After all, other people couldn't use spirit stones to accelerate the ripening of spirit herbs inside the enchantment like he did. Being able to refine more than ten batches of pills in a year was already a very high frequency.
"Looks like I have to think of another way." Lu Xiaotian thought to himself. Otherwise, Qian Dali had a lifespan of about three hundred years. He could afford to delay it for a few years. If he delayed his cultivation because of these few years, he would miss the best time to build his foundation. He was afraid that he would never be able to build his foundation.
"Oh, Junior Martial Brother Lu, you've come to get your chores again."
The spirit crane had just stopped at the entrance of the Chores Hall when Luo Kang, who was in charge of assigning chores to the other disciples, saw Lu Xiaotian and greeted him with a smile. Lu Xiaotian had taken on a lot of tasks with him in the past month and a half. With his calm temperament, Lu Xiaotian had completed them all quite well.
Working in the Handyman Hall also had its risks. For example, last month, a certain Aura Refining disciple helped a Foundation Building Martial Uncle manage the medicinal herb garden, causing the spiritual energy of a Rainbow Spirit Grass to be greatly damaged. This caused the Foundation Building Martial Uncle to be furious. Not only did he severely punish the unlucky Aura Refining disciple, he even ran to the Handyman Hall and gave the Handyman Hall a good scolding. The few martial brothers in the Chores Hall were scared out of their wits.
If the assigned tasks were done well, their days would naturally be more comfortable. Lu Xiaotian had a good record, so Luo Kang was more familiar with Lu Xiaotian than the other cultivators.
"Senior Martial Brother Luo, is there any job that takes a long time, has a stable position, and doesn't require me to run back and forth every day? Even if I work in a chores place, I can eat, live, and cultivate without a problem. If I run back and forth every day, just the spirit stones needed to rent the spirit crane is not a small expense. "
Lu Xiaotian got down from the spirit crane and asked. His purpose was naturally not to work in a place, but to get rid of Yu Bao's annoying eyes.
"How long? How long?" Luo Kang asked.
"A year and a half is not a problem." Lu Xiaotian said.
"Okay, let me see." Luo Kang took out a book that recorded the chores of the Spirit Firmament Palace.
"Well, in the Spirit Lotus Peak Domain, Martial Uncle Qin planted a Cloud Rain Fruit. The fruit will mature after ten years, but this fruit is quite popular with all kinds of demon birds. Because of the mountain protection restriction, it consumes too many spirit stones. So Martial Uncle Qin needs manpower. Not to mention a year, even ten years is enough. You just need to be responsible for driving away the demon birds. And some of the spirit birds raised in the Spirit Firmament Palace will do. However, this matter is rather complicated and requires at least three disciples to take turns to guard the orchard non-stop. The last disciple who was punished was careless and allowed a few Cloud Rain Fruits to be eaten by a demon bird. He was punished by Senior Uncle Qin and chased down the mountain. Now, there is a vacancy. Do you want to go? The spirit stones are quite generous. You get fifty spirit stones a month. "
Luo Kang looked at Lu Xiaotian and said. Lu Xiaotian was calm and determined. If he were to do this kind of work, he would be quite suitable.
"The pay is indeed generous, but it is too troublesome. Always watching the orchard will affect my cultivation." Lu Xiaotian shook his head and refused directly.
"Well, there is a Martial Uncle Hu in the Hidden Soul Peak Domain who wants to forge a Red Jade Divine Weapon. Red Jade needs to be refined from a large amount of jade ore repeatedly. More work, more pay. But as long as you can bear the hardship, you can get forty to fifty spirit stones a month. But it is quite boring. "
It was similar to a blacksmith in the secular world. It also delayed one's cultivation. Lu Xiaotian shook his head directly.
"In the end, there is only mining left. Also, more work, more pay. But those who are profitable usually go deep into the cave. They often don't see the sun for ten days or even a month. Very few cultivators can bear this loneliness." Luo Kang shrugged and said, "You are really hard to please today."
"What kind of ores can be mined?" Hearing that he had to go deep into the cave, Lu Xiaotian had an idea and asked.
"Our Spirit Firmament Palace has been established for tens of thousands of years. Naturally, we have a wide variety of mineral resources. There are Black Iron Ores, Black Copper Ores, Red Jade Ores, Brilliant Tungsten Ores used for refining weapons. Similarly, there are all kinds of spirit stone mines. The nearer ones are the White Night Water Spirit Stone Mine and the Gold Spirit Stone Mine of Gukou Road. The further ones are the Black Water Spirit Stone Mine."
