Chapter 12 Spirit Island in the Lake
"Spiritual veins may appear anywhere in Turtle Lake. We need to spend a lot of time and search every inch." After getting on the wooden boat, Lin Qingshan said to everyone.
Everyone respectfully made a promise in response, and then Lin Qingshan gave instructions: "You are all the pillars of my Lin family. If you encounter danger on the way and find that nothing can be done, retreat decisively and put your own safety first!
"
"If there is any danger, we will do our best to protect the clan leader." Dabolin Changye said seriously.
"That's natural. Even with my old bones, I can't let the patriarch make a mistake."
…
Lin Qingshan was a little moved by the words of several clan elders. The relationship between the Lin clan members was as close as family members, and they shared weal and woe. This family affection stemming from blood moved him the most.
In his previous life, he was an only son with few relatives and friends. Now he is in a foreign world. His former home is far away in time and space. He doesn't know how far away. He can only hide his concern for his parents at home deep in his heart.
I failed to fulfill my filial piety in my previous life, and I will definitely not let down these people in this life! Lin Qingshan swore secretly in his heart.
After calming down his inner emotions, Lin Qingshan asked everyone to sit down and prepare to set off.
"I'll row the boat." Lin Qingxue picked up the oar and asked for it with a smile.
Among the seven people on the boat, she and Lin Qingshan were the only ones of the same generation, but Lin Qingshan was the head of the family, so of course she had to do the boating.
"Then thank you to Sister Qingxue for your hard work." Lin Qingshan saw Lin Qingxue's unyielding look, so he naturally would not refuse and agreed with a smile.
This girl usually lives in seclusion and is obsessed with martial arts, so she doesn't like to interact with others. In fact, she has a quick mind and is not the kind of reckless person who only knows how to practice martial arts.
The scenery of Turtle Back Lake is beautiful and pleasant. In the crystal clear lake water, green water plants sway with the waves. The morning fog has not yet dispersed. The lake surface is shrouded in haze, and the small island in the center of the lake is vaguely visible.
Several people rowed boats along the lake to investigate.
Until noon, everyone walked around the lake and found nothing. The aura around them was very average, and there was nothing particularly outstanding.
At this time, the sun had climbed above the head. The sunshine was not too harsh during the period before the summer solstice. The breeze on the lake was refreshing and pleasant. Lin Qingshan looked around and could clearly see the small island in the middle of the lake not far away.
"Will the spirit vein be on the island?"
The spiritual energy around Turtle Back Lake is normal. If there is a spiritual vein, it is probably in the center of the lake, Lin Qingshan thought to himself.
Immediately after speaking out their thoughts, everyone felt that it made sense and decided to give up the strategy of exploring the center of the lake in circles and go directly to the island in the center of the lake to see the situation.
The boat sailed straight towards the small island in the middle of the lake. As the distance quickly approached, Lin Qingshan and the others faintly felt that the surrounding spiritual energy was getting richer.
"The spiritual vein is nearby!" Lin Shizhen looked happy and speculated in a low voice. Generally speaking, the higher the bloodline level of spiritual warriors in the same realm, the more sensitive they are to spiritual energy.
The biggest difference between the high-grade bloodline and the non-high-grade bloodline is that the high-grade bloodline can sense the existence of spiritual energy and is more suitable for practice.
Theoretically, ordinary people with lower-level bloodlines can also practice cultivation, but they cannot breathe out the spiritual energy in the air, and their absorption efficiency of spiritual food is far inferior to that of lower-level bloodlines.
No one will waste precious resources to train ordinary people.
Therefore, in the Lin clan, only those who are of Pin bloodline will be classified as core clan members, and the others are ordinary clan members.
This is generally the case for other aristocratic families.
Among the seven, Lin Shizhen is definitely at the top in terms of bloodline and cultivation. He is also more sensitive to spiritual energy than the others.
Others couldn't help but look happy when they heard the sound. The value of a spiritual vein is immeasurable, and coupled with the possible existence of a group of red-bearded spirit carps, they were excited just thinking about it. Lin Qingxue's boat even rowed faster.
As the distance got closer, the whole view of the island in the middle of the lake was clearly displayed in front of everyone.
The island is neither big nor small, with a radius of nearly ten miles. The island is a lush green forest with dense branches and leaves, and it is difficult to see what is going on inside.
After the boat docked and stopped, Lin Qingshan got off the boat. The spiritual energy here had reached twenty times that of the normal area.
"First-order high-grade spiritual veins!"
“I didn’t expect that there would be such a treasure in this lake!”
Lin Qingshan and several clan elders could no longer suppress their excitement and exclaimed excitedly.
Even an ordinary first-order low-grade spiritual vein is of immeasurable value and can continuously generate income, not to mention that it is a high-grade spiritual vein. At the peak of the Lin family, there was only one first-order high-grade spiritual vein.
A general first-level spiritual vein opens up spiritual fields and grows spiritual grain elixirs. The annual output value can reach hundreds of taels of profound gold, and up to a thousand taels of profound gold.
This is a stable output every year, which is the foundation of the family. One spiritual vein can support the operation of a family.
Two spiritual veins are something that only the top-ranked families in Pingnan Guard are eligible to possess.
At this time, the calm water surface suddenly became rippled, and with a splash, a golden carp jumped out of the water, and then dived into the water with a splash.
"Red Bearded Spirit Carp!"
"The clan leader's guess is correct. There are indeed a group of red-bearded spirit carps in Turtle Back Lake."
"It seems that most of the red-bearded spirit carp groups gather near this spirit island."
…
Several clan elders were even more excited. Each adult red-bearded spirit carp is worth five hundred taels of black gold. Twenty red-bearded spirit carps are worth as much as one concentration pill. This group of spirit carp is an immeasurable wealth.
.
"The exact number of red-bearded spirit carps needs further investigation, but the total number of spirit carps in the entire Turtle Back Lake is estimated to be nearly a hundred, worth fifty thousand taels of black gold!"
"We can't fish all the time. We can only raise a few adult spirit carp every year, no more than ten, to ensure that the red-bearded spirit carp group can reproduce. This can bring an income of five thousand taels of black gold to the Lin family every year."
"God bless me, Lin!" Several clan elders smiled and excitedly discussed the development of spiritual veins.
"The water vapor on the river bank is very active. You can plant some water-based elixirs. When the time comes, it will be a huge amount of income!" Lin Changye suggested.
"There is a very common water-based elixir on the market, Water Lotus, which can be used to refine the Origin Pill. It is very popular. Each plant is worth one or two gold. You can plant this first to gain experience." Foreign Affairs Elder
Lin Shizhang responded.
The Peiyuan Pill is an auxiliary cultivation elixir for the Kaiyuan Realm. It can greatly increase the speed of spiritual warriors' cultivation, but it is not cheap. Depending on the quality of the elixir, one Peiyuan Pill costs five to ten taels of black gold.
The foreign affairs elder occasionally purchases some Peiyuan Pills to cultivate outstanding children in the family, so he is relatively clear about this.
"It's a pity that there is no alchemy master in the clan, so we can only sell spiritual materials." Chen Shigu sighed in a low voice.
Pills are so important to spiritual warriors. The rise and fall of many concentrating families depend on a small concentrating pill.
But training an alchemist is too expensive, and Lin can't afford it.
Take Pei Yuan Dan as an example. In addition to water source lotus, four other spiritual materials are needed to refine a furnace of Pei Yuan Dan. The total cost of these medicinal materials is close to five taels of black gold. To train a first-level alchemist, I am afraid it will take a lot of money.
After consuming nearly a hundred furnaces of hand-training elixir, the elixir can be stably produced.
