Chapter Thirty-One
After wandering around the campus for a while, when Chen Kai walked to a rather remote corner, he suddenly felt a faint wave of spiritual energy.
Chen Kai was slightly stunned and immediately showed a happy expression on his face.
"Is there any spiritual medicine or treasure nearby?"
Chen Kai immediately felt the very faint wave of spiritual energy. Following the wave, Chen Kai walked about a hundred meters and suddenly found a grass that looked particularly green, like jasper, growing about twenty centimeters in the weeds in the corner of the campus wall. The root of the weak wave of spiritual energy was the grass!
"Is this... 'Ningbi Grass'?" Chen Kai was a little surprised, and could even be said to be a little incredible looking at the emerald grass among the weeds in the corner of the wall.
It was really beyond Chen Kai's expectations that it was impossible to find a real "spiritual grass" like "Ningbi Grass" in such a place. It was simply incredible!
Although "Ningbi Grass" is just a low-level spiritual herb, it already belongs to the category of real spiritual herbs. Its value is much higher than that of a century-old ginseng.
It can be said that this "Ningbi Grass" has a slightly higher value than the old ginseng, snow lotus, silver orchid grass left to him by Chen Kai's master.
This "Ningbi Grass" is the main medicine for refining "Ningbi Pill". The function of "Ningbi Pill" is to allow cultivators in the Qi Condensation Stage to take it and improve their cultivation. A "Ningbi Pill" can allow cultivators with cultivation below the seventh level of Qi Condensation Stage to directly improve their cultivation level by one level!
The preciousness of this "Ningbi Pill" can be seen!
"I don't know how this Ningbi grass grew here. But it's a good opportunity for me now! Although this Ningbi grass has not yet grown completely, it seems that it will be fully mature in about another month and can be used."
Chen Kai looked at the green grass and said to himself with joy.
Although Chen Kai's current cultivation level is still unable to refine alchemy, because he cannot even urge the "true fire". However, if necessary, Chen Kai can still use this "Ningbi Grass" directly as medicine and boil it into a soup and drink it.
But in that case, the "Ningbi Grass" that could be refined into a whole furnace with only nine "Ningbi Pills" can only exert the effect equivalent to one "Ningbi Pill".
"Well, I'd better find a flowerpot later and transplant it directly, so as not to accidentally be destroyed by someone or something."
Chen Kai thought about it and went to the flower shop to buy a flowerpot, and then transplanted the "Ningbi Grass" back to the dormitory for raising it.
"Well, it's not right! Although this 'Ningbi Grass' is not very delicate and difficult to raise, if you put it in the dormitory, if others walk up and down, it will be bad if you accidentally knock over the flower pot."
"And, the environment in the dormitory is indeed not suitable for the growth of 'Ningbi Grass'. The surrounding area is lacking vegetation, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is scattered but not gathered, which is not conducive to the absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which will greatly reduce its medicinal properties. However, if the Ningbi Grass is allowed to grow here, it is indeed not complete..."
Chen Kai weighed the matter over and over again, and suddenly he thought of going to the school to see if he could rent a suitable room. He didn't need to move out, renting a room was just to raise this "Ningbi Grass".
Chen Kai is just in his freshman year, and the school does not allow students to stay outside privately. After all, the school must be responsible for the safety of students.
"That's it! I rent a room outside, and then I will arrange a small 'spirit gathering array' in the place where the 'Ningbicao' is placed, and use the spirit gathering array to gather and bind the spiritual energy to supply Ningbicao to absorb. Then I just take the time every day to take care of it..."
Chen Kai soon made up his mind, although this would cost a lot of money.
The rent is second to the point. He mainly wants to arrange the spirit gathering array. Now he does not have the spirit stones used for the formation of the cultivation world, so he can only use jade instead. The effect of the spirit gathering array arranged with jade is of course far from comparable to the formations arranged with spirit stones, but he can barely use it.
However, although there are several jade boxes left by the master in Chen Kai's "Tianxingyan" mustard seed space, they are all used to preserve medicinal herbs and spiritual herbs. And there are not many, only four or five.
If Chen Kai wants to arrange the spirit gathering array, he must buy some jade.
Fortunately, the tens of thousands of dollars in Chen Kaika have never been used much. He just bought a mobile phone before coming to H City and spent more than 3,000 yuan. Now there are about 46,000 yuan left. In addition, the living expenses given by my mother this semester, the total is just 50,000 yuan.
"Arranging a most basic 'small five elements spirit gathering array' requires a total of five jade stone formation bases, plus a 'five elements jade talisman' as the array eye."
"The jade as the array base requires about two fingers wide, half finger long, and one finger thick. Moreover, the quality of the jade cannot be too bad. It is estimated that the price of jade for making a array base should be between six and seven thousand yuan. The five array bases are more than 30,000 yuan. In addition, the jade with higher quality is required to make the "Five Elements Jade Talisman", and the size is also different, and the thickness can be slightly thinner, and the estimated price should be around ten thousand yuan. If you calculate it roughly, it will cost at least 40,000 yuan for jade to be laid out in a "Little Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array"! In addition, the deposit and rent for rent... I'm afraid the little money in my card will cost me a lot."
"It's a headache! I didn't think much about spending money before. Now when I use it, I realize that the money is really like flowing water..."
Chen Kai couldn't help but sigh.
When Chen Kai was idle, he liked to go shopping at the antique and jade market in City J. He was still very familiar with the prices of jade on the market. What kind of quality jade needs and what price is basically eight/nine.
However, when Chen Kai thought that there would definitely be more money needed to practice in the future, the first time he had a very urgent idea of making some money came to his mind.
In the past, the decoctions that Chen Kai used to assist in his practice were basically prepared by his master for him, so he didn't have to worry about it himself.
In addition, the practice in the foundation-building stage is just to temper the body and lay a solid foundation, and it does not require the use of precious spiritual medicines, and it is impossible to even speed up the cultivation speed in a hurry.
Instead, we must deliberately suppress the improvement of our cultivation to a certain extent and strengthen the foundation as much as possible.
But now that Chen Kai's cultivation level has entered the Qi Condensation Period, the situation is very different from that during the Foundation Establishment Period.
Without the assistance of spiritual medicine or other means, even though Chen Kai himself is amazing and is practicing the top-level martial arts such as the "Star Ten Thousand Transformations Art" that can cultivate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the power of the stars in the sky, he has also awakened a "star vein" to double the speed of cultivation, but on the earth where the spiritual energy is thin today, the speed of cultivation is still impossible to be much faster.
