Chapter 215
215 50 golden lotuses
Speaking of which, Lu Qing had quite a number of exchange options now. He was no longer as poor as he used to be.
Furthermore, his karma reserves had also been maintained at a relatively high level.
In the past, when he did not have much karma, he could not bear to do things like ten consecutive draws. He could only refresh them one by one or obtain some exchange options when the number of years was up.
However, he no longer had a problem with accumulating karma. In the past, Lu Qing had done things like drawing ten in a row in order to get some good items.
Lu Qing could not possibly take out all the exchange items after taking out so many exchange items. He did not have that many karma.
Other than a few that were particularly effective and useful, most of the exchange options were still there.
It did not mean that the items that Lu Qing did not exchange for were useless. However, there were too many of them. Lu Qing did not have that much karma and could not afford them.
Looking at the low-level exchange options, if one only cost tens or a hundred Yuan, if he exchanged it for ten, the cost would go up to a thousand.
Lu Qing now had a total of 2500 to 2600 karma. Previously, there had been over 3000 of them. However, after upgrading the ancient ruins ‘secret land, only this many remained.
His current main source of income was actually two pieces.
One was for the various achievements, such as new cultivators and new buildings.
In Lu Qing’s system mailbox, messages like this would pop up from time to time, saying that the clan had gained another Qi refining cultivator, and that they had built some new buildings.
However, this was only a small portion of his normal gains. After all, new Qi refining cultivators were only given a few rewards. If Chaohe were to reach the initial enlightenment stage, the rewards would be more. He could look forward to it.
The other big part was mainly from the various Crusades.
Some of these Crusades were actually very small, such as killing some bandits, some demon beasts that were in the way of migration, or ghosts causing trouble in some places and villages.
The enemies they encountered were generally only at the level one or Qi refining stage. After defeating them, it could only be considered a one-star Crusade event. The reward was tens of karma points, but it was usually very difficult to break through 100 points.
But even so, if they accumulated a lot, it would still be a huge gain.
The Lu clan was growing stronger by the day, and its influence had spread throughout the entire anling Prefecture. The range of activity of the Lu clan’s cultivators was no longer limited to Pingyao. They would move around everywhere.
Some of them went out for work, while some went out purely for personal experience.
It was normal to solve problems.
All of these would become corresponding Crusades and become Lu Qing’s source of karma.
Among them, there were a few large-scale events that were related to the Lu trading company. One was in Dong Hai County, and the other was in Liao County.
Both incidents were related to sea monsters.
Since a few years ago, the attacks of sea monsters had become more and more frequent.
The route was fine. After all, they were flying in the sky, and there were not many sea monsters that could threaten the airship. Furthermore, after the news of the sea monster’s frequent activities became known, the caravans that the Lu trading company and Liao County contacted became more and more cautious. The flying boat flew higher and higher, and it often followed the clouds to prevent being easily discovered.
However, the flying boats were not a big problem, but some ships were really out of the question.
This caused the private air Trade between the two places to almost be unable to proceed.
But that was fine. They had a flying boat anyway, and the flying boat’s ability to store things was also very strong. As for the fishermen who relied on fishing for a living on the shore, they had to move inland and find other ways to survive. This was also a solution.
However, when a large number of sea monsters followed the river and started to attack the Inland of the East Sea and Liao County, the situation became more serious.
In Liao County, there was even a case of a third-rank sea monster coming ashore. Although it was eventually killed by the Enlightenment cultivator of the Gongsun family and even offered a third-rank demonic core, before it died, it led a large number of sea monsters to destroy two county cities and kill hundreds of cultivators.
There were no third-rank sea monsters in Dong Hai County yet, but there were many second-rank and first-rank sea monsters.
The two times that the Lu family encountered them, Ming Ling and Ting Chou worked together to solve them. The first time was when he helped Dong Hai County’s coastal fangyin County fight a defensive battle. The second time was when he helped evacuate the residents on the Liao County’s Dingbo Island.
These two incidents were considered Crusades, and Lu Qing gained nearly 500 karma in total.
When Lu Qing heard that the coast of the East Sea and Liao County would always be attacked by sea monsters, he immediately linked this matter to the ‘deep sea scepter’ that Ming Chao had snatched back from the Sharkmen of the East Sea.
He still remembered that in the system’s judgment, this thing was not called a ‘magical artifact’, but a’ sacred object’.
Just by looking at these two words, it proved that it was one thing whether it was powerful or not, but the significance it represented was absolutely significant.
Right now, that scepter was still in the family’s Treasury.
“Could it be that the gong Sun family and the hai family are taking the blame for us? It’s a good thing our Lu family isn’t by the sea.”
“However, this matter still has to be resolved in the future. We’ll see when the time comes.”
Lu Qing did not think too much about this. He calculated the 2500 karma he had and decided to spend some of it.
He estimated that he would only need about 1500 Yuan. On one hand, he would keep some money to buy work, so that he wouldn’t be unable to come out if something big happened to his family. Other than the 1000 that were used to buy live ones, the remaining portion was used for battle exchanges that he might need.
These were all karma needed in an emergency, so it was better not to use them.
This way, he still had slightly more than a thousand karma to spend. Lu Qing spent 200 to 300 yuan on the usual methods of upgrading the spiritual roots of the younger generation of the clan and speeding up the cultivation of those that he liked. He planned to use the remaining money to search for resources.
In any case, Lu Qing now understood. What was the most important thing in the cultivation world? It was resources!
It was a serious matter to get more resources for the family.
He could not be bothered to use the one-star resource explorations. He immediately spent 300 karma and gathered six resource explorations. Three of them were to be used in the North of Yuyan mountain, and three in the West.
These two directions were close to the edge of the North barren forest, so it was easier to sell goods.
After exploring the six resource points, they found three resource points. They were all two-star, two were herbs, and one was a beast group that could be tamed.
“I’ll go back and tell chaojun to arrange for people to take over these three resource points. According to the system’s estimation, if the two herb resource points were to be transplanted back to the family, they would be able to contribute a total of 180 spiritual stones every year. That beast horde is a three-colored wild pheasant. After taming it, I estimate that it’ll be worth two hundred and ten spirit stones a year. That’s a pretty good profit, four hundred a year.”
After calculating, he saw that he still had a few three-star resources to explore.
This exchange option was quite expensive, 200 yuan a time.
Gritting his teeth, he smashed it twice and spent 400 karma energy, but there was not even a sound. He did not find anything!
“I vomited, Yingluo.”
How could he accept this?
There was also the grade-4 resource exploration, which was another 400 karma points. Flowers!
[ new resource point discovered: wild Golden Lotus Group ]
[ 900-year-old golden Lotus Wuzhu, a total of 43 golden lotuses of other years ]
[ a level three spirit botanist can completely transplant the Golden Lotus (only after a complete transplant will the Golden Lotus continue to grow and produce new golden lotuses) ]
……
There were nearly 50 golden lotuses!
I’ve earned big!
