Chapter 157: The Spirit Gathering Array is Completed
After another half an hour of reading, all he found were some account statements and rumors about monsters and spiritual plants. Unfortunately, after Jiang Youchi sent people to investigate, they found that they were basically all false.
After dinner, Jiang Li helped Ren Tingting back to her room and stroked her increasingly round belly.
Ren Tingting was filled with emotion, "We have been married for more than two years without realizing it. I just hope I can give birth to this child safely."
"Don't worry, you are in good health. I am also dedicated to slaying demons and eliminating bandits. I am also doing some good deeds. The child will be safe."
Having said that, Jiang Li's hands moved again unconsciously.
Ren Ting's breathing was already a little rapid. She bit her lip and looked straight at Jiang Li. He naturally understood the meaning and gently laid her down.
Because Ren Tingting was pregnant and had many difficulties in moving, Jiang Li had to be extra careful to avoid hurting the child.
As for what happened afterwards, you guys don’t like to read it, so let’s skip it here and I’ll delete it for you.
...
The next morning, after finishing his morning exercise, Jiang Li took a few Taoist soldiers to Qingyun Temple.
After going up the mountain, he found Uncle Jiu and asked him about the banana spirit. Uncle Jiu naturally told Jiang Li the truth and also told him another good news.
"My master went back to Maoshan some time ago and got some spirit stones. Now he has set up the spirit gathering formation. I even built a special training room for this purpose. It's right next to the medicine garden!" Uncle Jiu said this to Jiang Li with a proud look on his face.
Jiang Li was naturally perceptive and flattered him directly, "Master is the master. He can get the spirit stones and set up the spirit gathering formation just by saying so."
"From now on, my Qingyun Temple will be able to reach a higher level. As long as Master concentrates on training, it is only a matter of time before he wears the purple robe."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth from curling up, but he couldn't do it, and his expression looked very strange.
Just when he was about to break his training, Jiang Li spoke up, "Master, please go ahead and take a look at the banana spirit and the training room. I, your disciple, am extremely curious about the spirit gathering array!"
After saying that, he ran to the backyard without waiting for Uncle Jiu to speak.
Uncle Jiu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Li leave. He finally didn't have to endure it anymore and walked out of the hall laughing.
Back to Jiang Li, he first went to the medicine garden to take a look at the Polygonum multiflorum that had grown vines again, and then found the Banana Fairy and chatted with her for a while.
Finally, I excitedly entered the practice room. After entering, I found that it was divided into many small quiet rooms, most of which were locked, and it was obvious that someone was using them.
He found a quiet room with no one in it, sat cross-legged on a cushion and began to practice. He found that his practice speed was twice as fast as that of other places.
He is now a human master. It would be extremely difficult for him to meditate and practice at a high speed elsewhere, but at this moment, it is obviously much faster.
"Although it is not as effective as taking Essence Pills, it is gentler and longer-lasting. After all, taking pills requires refining and absorption, otherwise there will be pill residues, which will affect future practice."
"And now I can practice at twice the speed until I am mentally exhausted. This can make up for the gap in practice during the time when I didn't have the elixir. It will be a great help to me."
After that, he stopped thinking about random things and started to practice magic power seriously. He did not stop until he felt a little tired, then he stood up.
After leaving the training room and returning to the temple, he found Uncle Jiu and asked, "Master, how long will it take for this banana to ripen? Do we need to pick it and leave it for a few days like ordinary bananas?"
Uncle Jiu frowned upon hearing this and said, "I don't think it's necessary. After all, this is also a spiritual fruit. If it is left for too long, I'm afraid the spiritual energy will be lost!"
Jiang Li suddenly thought of something, "We can store it in a jade box like we store elixirs, so that even if the spiritual energy is lost, it will not escape."
Uncle Jiu's eyes lit up when he heard this. "That's good. If it's too raw to eat, we can do this. At worst, we can just spend more time to collect the spiritual energy."
Afterwards, Uncle Jiu talked to Jiang Li about the current situation on the mountain. It turned out that when Uncle Jiu saw that Jiang Li put a lot of energy into building the army and conquering territory, he knew that Jiang Li would not be able to inherit Qingyun Temple.
Therefore, every time he went down the mountain to help people catch ghosts, exorcise evil spirits and look at feng shui, he would consciously recruit disciples. As long as the aptitude, character and age were suitable, he would ask the disciple if he was willing to become his disciple.
Therefore, he has already recruited ten disciples (Qiu Sheng, Wencai, Aqiang, Ade, Axing, Xiaoyue, and four outer disciples named Tianya Haijiao), and has already taught them some cultivation techniques in advance.
He hopes to train a successor who can inherit his mantle, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be possible at the moment. Fortunately, Jiang Li has extraordinary luck.
We have obtained so many spiritual beasts and plants, and now we have even obtained the spirit gathering array plate. If we train him carefully, we may be able to produce a remarkable disciple.
So now he is extremely strict with his disciples, especially Wencai. As the eldest brother, in order to let him play a leading role, he has extremely high requirements on him.
"Master, where are those brothers? Why didn't I see them when I came here today?"
"They just came out of the training room not long ago and are now practicing boxing in the square. It's a pity that none of these guys are up to the task. They've been using elixirs and spirit gathering arrays, but none of them has reached the level of a human master yet. It's really infuriating!"
Jiang Li looked at Uncle Jiu who looked disappointed with him and quickly comforted him, "Master, don't worry. You are still young. With the help of this spirit gathering formation, I think they will break through to the level of human master in less than two years."
Uncle Jiu shook his head when he heard this, "I hope so!"
"I heard that Huang Silang has become a mountain god. You should not be so casual with him in the future. Blasphemy against gods is not good after all."
"But you don't need to be humble. Just think more before you speak or act, so as not to give others a handle and be instigated by some people."
When Jiang Li heard this, he recalled what he had said and done, and it didn't seem like there was anything out of the ordinary. However, he still agreed, after all, it was Uncle Jiu's good intention.
"Master, I see that both uncles Simu and Qianhe seem to be gone. Jiale and Dongnanxixi are also nowhere to be seen. Did they all go to the training room to practice?" Jiang Li asked doubtfully.
"Your uncle Simu's spirit corpse has been cultivated and he has started to drive corpses again. He took Jiale with him to drive corpses a few days ago."
"That's great. This way our Qingyun Temple will have another big source of income, and we will be able to support a few more disciples in the future!" Jiang Li said with a smile.
Uncle Jiu nodded and said, "Indeed, your Uncle Simu made a lot of money on this trip, Mu Xi remembers it all!"
"Where are Uncle Qianhe and his four fellow apprentices from the east, south, west and north going?"
"Your uncle Qianhe heard that there was a monster harming people in Qingyang County in the southeast, so he took four disciples to slay the monster!" After Uncle Jiu said this, he put his hands behind his back and looked at the southeast thoughtfully.
