At the beginning, I cleaned the Sutra Library and completed the incomplete skills.

Li Lan had been away from Guangji Temple for more than a month.

On the surface, nothing particularly significant had changed here.

Several green mountains stood tall and majestic, shrouded in clouds and mist, with lush trees providing shade.

Occasionally, cranes or cultivators flying on swords passed through the mountains.

Adding a touch of ethereal freedom.

This place was just like the fairyland scenery that ordinary mortals dreamed of.

When Li Lan first arrived, he was also shocked by this fairy scene.

But after staying here for so many years.

Now he was already tired of seeing it.

He had no interest in stopping here to admire the beautiful scenery.

He walked back to the mountain gate and submitted the sect mission at the designated point.

After receiving his remuneration and monthly salary.

Li Lan turned to Qing Shifang again.

It was still as lively as before.

Outer disciples shuttled through it, bustling with activity.

Some stopped in front of shops to watch, carefully looking at the magical artifacts, elixirs, and spiritual herbs displayed in the store.

Others bargained with the shopkeepers, their voices rising and falling.

Li Lan did not go directly to see Miao Chenfeng.

Instead, as usual, he strolled around Qing Shifang twice first.

Compared with his first visit here, his state of mind and vision had already changed greatly.

Especially after gaining experience in Jiuhua County City.

He would no longer be like a country bumpkin entering the city, finding everything novel.

Most of the things sold in this Qing Shifang were low-level.

It was still a test of luck to find those rare spiritual plants and materials.

Li Lan's luck was obviously not very good today.

He searched Qing Shifang all over, but he didn't encounter anything he needed.

To this.

Li Lan didn't take it too seriously.

Then he walked into Miao Chenfeng's shop.

As soon as he entered the door.

He saw a young master in white clothes, wearing a brocade crown, and jade ornaments on his waist, closing his eyes and tasting tea.

"Senior Brother Miao is really in a good mood."

"Junior Brother has been working hard outside for more than a month, and only barely managed to collect a year's worth of sect contributions."

"Senior Brother only needs to sit in this shop and taste some spiritual tea, strategizing, and you can easily hand in your contribution."

"It really makes Junior Brother envious."

Miao Chenfeng didn't even raise his head, he knew who was coming just by the sound.

He lightly parted his lips and uttered two words.

"No money."

Li Lan rolled his eyes and said:

"I'm really not here to borrow spirit sand this time."

"Senior Brother, I don't have any alchemy furnaces or pill formulas here either."

Miao Chenfeng thought for a while and hurriedly added.

"And Swift Movement Talismans."

"Junior Brother Li, you have to change your habit of being forgetful."

"If this continues, I won't dare to lend you spirit sand anymore."

Li Lan didn't take it seriously and said:

"I have compensated you for the lost items at a price higher than the market price."

"It's not like I didn't give you spirit sand."

"This is clearly benefiting you."

Miao Chenfeng widened his eyes.

"Benefiting me?"

"Junior Brother Li, do you know that most of the things I lent you are good things that are priceless in this Qing Shifang."

"Not to mention treasures, at least at the current market price, someone would be scrambling for them even if the price doubled."

Li Lan certainly knew this.

If he could buy these things in Qing Shifang, he wouldn't bother borrowing them from the other party and reporting them as lost.

Li Lan, who had no immortal cultivation background, obviously had some difficulty buying the spiritual materials he urgently needed through normal channels.

Helpless, he could only choose to take a different approach.

Using this method of borrowing instead of buying, he obtained a large number of resources from Miao Chenfeng.

It was precisely because of this.

Li Lan only spent two years to collect all the formation auxiliary materials needed for the "Earthbound Thousand Machine Diagram".

"If my father knew that I was doing business like this, he would break my legs."

"You even said that I'm benefiting."

Miao Chenfeng muttered.

He wasn't stupid either, he naturally knew that the things Li Lan borrowed weren't really lost.

However, some things can be understood without being spoken, and there is no need to pierce through that layer of window paper.

Li Lan's situation was quite special, different from ordinary outer disciples.

Cultivating a incomplete cultivation method, he couldn't be tied down by the subsequent cultivation chapters of the method.

If Miao Chenfeng wanted the other party to become a guest of the Miao family and work for the Miao family for the rest of his life, he naturally had to find a new way.

Giving favors was the best way.

"Senior Brother Miao, I'm really not here to borrow things this time."

Li Lan said calmly and seriously.

"I'm here to talk about a deal with you this time."

When Miao Chenfeng saw this, he also put down his teacup and became serious.

He said expectantly:

"What? Could it be that Junior Brother Li has encountered rare spiritual plants with slightly longer lifespans again?"

"You didn't throw it into the river this time, did you?"

Seeing Li Lan shaking his head slightly.

Miao Chenfeng was quite disappointed.

However, he quickly cheered up again.

"Then, Junior Brother Li, when you were picking spiritual plants outside, did you ever encounter Spirit-Attracting Artemisia?"

"This type of spiritual plant does not require a long lifespan."

"Even Spirit-Attracting Artemisia seedlings will do."

Li Lan felt a slight doubt in his heart when he heard this.

What is this kid asking this for?

Spiritual plants that are not long in age, even if the variety is rare, the value will not be too high.

Because no one can guarantee that this spiritual plant will definitely grow to maturity.

Spiritual plant cultivation is not a simple matter.

Most rare spiritual plants are extremely delicate, and once there are unfavorable growing conditions, they will wither and die.

Regarding this point.

Li Lan had an extremely deep understanding.

Even with the spiritual plant cultivation experience left by Zhang Jingyuan, most of the unknown seeds he sowed by the stream in Xianzong Valley.

After a month, they still withered and died.

Experienced spiritual planters often need to spend a lot of cost and energy.

Only then can they fully understand all the habits of a type of spiritual plant.

Only by thoroughly understanding the habits of the spiritual plant, is it possible to cultivate it to maturity.

Could it be said.

The original Spirit-Attracting Artemisia in Guangji Temple were all raised to death?

So Miao Chenfeng was so eager to find some seedlings to transplant back for re-cultivation?

He saw Li Lan looking confused and puzzled.

He slapped his forehead and said:

"Oh, I forgot that Junior Brother Li has been out for more than a month, and doesn't know what happened recently."

"It's like this, Guangji Temple recently sent down a new sect mission."

"Suddenly, they started to大规模回收 some relatively rare spiritual plants, and Spirit-Attracting Artemisia is among them."

"There are also some spiritual plants and materials that are not considered rare, such as Spirit Locust Wood and Bone-Corroding Vine, which the sect also requires outer disciples to pay attention to."

"No one knows exactly what's going on."

"Maybe some outer elder has developed a new pill formula, and this is going to start trying to make pills?"

"These things involving the elders' level are naturally headaches for my father and other foundation building experts, so we don't need to care too much."

"Anyway, Junior Brother Li, if you have these things, just hand them in."

"As long as you complete this sect mission, you don't have to work hard to pick spiritual plants outside, do you?"

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was mindful.

At this time.

Li Lan's back had already begun to ooze cold sweat.

Spirit-Attracting Artemisia, Spirit Locust Wood, Bone-Corroding Vine, etc., Li Lan was extremely familiar with all these materials mentioned by Miao Chenfeng.

Isn't this exactly the auxiliary materials needed to make Green Artemisia Burning Cloud Talisman and Earthbound Thousand Machine Diagram?

Guangji Temple's actions this time were a bit too targeted.

This is mostly aimed at Zhang Jingyuan, or even himself.

Li Lan's face remained unchanged, but his mind began to run rapidly.

Trying hard to recall how many flaws he had left in Shisun Gang a month ago.
