"Two pieces of broken spirits are expensive?"
Old man Zhao stuffed all the beef jerky in his hand into his mouth, chewed quickly, bent down, picked up a lotus-shaped sky lantern, handed it to Zhou Ling, and said with a smile.
"Look, this is a lotus lantern with three inscriptions. Two pieces of broken spirits are expensive. How is it expensive?"
Zhou Ling took a closer look. The lotus lantern has a delicate and unique appearance.
However, under [Primary Insight], it can be seen that two of the three inscriptions in this sky lantern are damaged.
He immediately shook his head, "This kind of lantern is too expensive for even a broken soul!"
Old man Zhao couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Are you still letting people do business?"
Zhou Ling scratched his head, "If they are all broken souls, then I will buy them all, otherwise forget it!"
Hearing this, Old man Zhao frowned and weighed it, "How about twelve broken souls!"
"If it's twelve broken souls, you can give me a bottle of gold-based spiritual ink!"
"Hey, this..."
After some bargaining, thirteen broken souls were finally sold.
Zhou Ling bought ten sky lanterns and a small bottle of spiritual ink.
"Why are children nowadays so cunning! Clever!"
Looking at Zhou Ling holding ten sky lanterns in both hands and leaving with light steps, Old man Zhao shook his head helplessly.
Fortunately, this batch of inferior products did not cost much, so he did not lose money.
······.
As night fell, Zhou Ling also returned home.
The house was quiet, and his parents had not returned yet.
Zhou Ling put the lantern in his room and went to the kitchen to warm up the dinner prepared by his mother.
After a simple meal, he returned to the room.
He picked up the lotus lantern and observed it, carefully looking at the three light-colored inscriptions on the sky lantern.
Although he could not fully see where the problem was for the time being, he had the talent of [Primary Analysis].
He quickly found a mistake.
[You are analyzing the three light-colored inscriptions, primary analysis +1, three light-colored inscription proficiency +1]
"It's mainly a problem with the blending of the spiritual ink. The spiritual ink is not pure enough, which makes the spiritual power unable to be transmitted, and the inscription is invalid."
"Fortunately, I just filled a bottle of metallic spiritual ink."
Zhou Ling murmured.
These light-colored inscriptions are mainly made of metallic ore spiritual ink. With the help of the inscriptions, different colors of light can be stimulated.
Zhou Ling carefully watched it several times again, and [Primary Analysis] did not continue to prompt.
Zhou Ling was basically sure that it was only the problem with the spiritual ink.
He immediately took out the inscription pen and spiritual ink, and then put the lotus lantern in place. He
took another deep breath. After all, this was his first time to draw inscriptions on an artifact, and Zhou Ling was a little nervous.
Fortunately, these were only three inscription patterns, which were not difficult for him.
With [Primary Insight] and [Primary Analysis], he had a clear understanding of the inscription pattern.
Soon, his mentality calmed down.
Moreover, repairing inscription patterns is different from drawing inscription patterns.
Like the light-colored inscription pattern in front of him, the overall structure is still intact.
It's just that the spiritual ink is not evenly mixed, causing some lines to fail.
As long as it is re-outlined with spiritual ink, it can be completed.
Of course, this kind of repair is more of a test of the refiner's experience and vision, as well as his proficiency in inscription patterns.
Generally, it is definitely not something that a refiner apprentice can do.
The reason why Zhou Ling was able to analyze the cause so quickly was mainly due to the blessing of two talents.
Zhou Ling carefully took the inscription pen and carefully drew along the lines.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhou Ling had repaired the inscription pattern.
After checking it carefully again to confirm that there was no problem, he immediately turned on the switch on it.
Suddenly, a bright green ripple of light emanated from the lotus lamp.
It illuminates the entire room beautifully.
"Great!" Zhou Ling couldn't help shouting.
After repairing this lotus lantern, he could sell at least a dozen pieces of broken spirits.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ling was instantly like a chicken blood, full of motivation, and continued to repair other sky lanterns.
These ten sky lanterns basically have two or three inscriptions, and only one has four inscriptions.
After Zhou Ling repaired five of them in succession, he felt a wave of fatigue.
The spiritual power in his body has been consumed by half.
He could only stop first, sit cross-legged and practice the Spirit Flame Technique to practice.
[You are absorbing spiritual energy, spiritual energy affinity +1, spiritual energy +3]
After running two cycles of the heavenly cycle, it was restored.
"Ling'er, it's time for supper!"
At this time, his mother's voice came from outside.
Zhou Ling looked up and saw the bright moon hanging high outside the window.
It was already the second watch, and the midnight snack that his mother said was actually their dinner.
When it comes to festivals, parents are even busier.
"Think about it later and see if I can find a part-time job to share the burden with my parents!"
Zhou Ling said to himself.
Then he walked out of the room.
On the wooden table, there was a plate of braised beef, a dish of stir-fried vegetables, a bowl of spiritual egg and seaweed soup, and a small dish of fried peanuts.
Zhou Shan had already poured a small half bowl of spiritual wine and drank it slowly.
His beard, which had not been trimmed for a while, made him look more vicissitudes.
But he sat with his back straight and his eyes were bright.
Zhou Ling knew that there must be something good today. When
Zhou Ling sat down at the table, Li Ru served him a bowl of soup.
"Ru'er, this jade hairpin is for you!"
At this time, Zhou Shan took out an exquisite green jade hairpin from his body and handed it to Li Ru, coughing a few times.
"Why did you buy this?"
"How many spiritual stones did you spend?"
Li Ru was stunned for a moment, took the jade hairpin, and couldn't help asking.
Zhou Shan took a sip of wine and said, "This is a first-level middle-grade jade hairpin, which can isolate the heat. I see that you stay in the kitchen every day and are smoked by the heat for a long time. It's not good for your health. I have been wanting to buy you one for a long time."
"This time I went into the mountain, the harvest is not bad, so I bought it."
This first-level middle-grade jade hairpin cost him seven low-grade spiritual stones.
Although he usually lives frugally, his monthly expenses are just to buy some ordinary spirit wine, which doesn't cost much broken spirits.
But he is willing to buy things for his children and wife.
Feeling the warm breath of the hairpin in his hand, Li Ru pursed his lips, picked up the wine jar, and poured another bowl for Zhou Shan, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes, "If you want to buy in the future, you must discuss it with me."
"The child is still young, and there will be many places where you need to spend spirit stones in your practice in the future, so save as much as possible."
"I'm used to the fire in the kitchen, it's no big deal!"
"Yeah!" Zhou Shan smiled and nodded, picked up the peanuts and threw them into his mouth, eating happily.
"Dad, Mom, I'm done! Go back to the room and sleep first!"
Seeing his parents supporting each other, Zhou Ling felt warm and helpless in his heart.
Hearing his father say this, he realized the hard work of his mother's work.
If it was just tired from work, then he would be able to recover after a good rest.
But if the fire enters the body, it will be completely different.
Once the meridians are damaged, it will have a huge impact on practice.
Even invading the lungs may endanger life.
Suddenly, I felt a sense of urgency in my heart, hoping that I could become independent as soon as possible.
I don't want to make my parents suffer so much!
