Chapter 74 Joyful Message
Coming out of the space, he brewed a pot of green jade tea. Perhaps because of its remarkable effect of refreshing the mind, Lin Changqing liked drinking this kind of tea more and more.

Especially when I think about something, I like to make a pot of tea.

The aroma of tea filled the air, and Lin Changqing's thoughts were flooding.

In fact, two problems were exposed in this battle.

The first problem is that under normal circumstances, the combat effectiveness is relatively weak. Although there are one or two means to make the final decision, these are unconventional means and cannot be used continuously.

Just like in this battle, the only long-range attack is to throw fireballs, and the only close-range attack is to control the flying sword. Maybe I can consider learning swordsmanship. I don't need to become a swordsman, but it would be nice to have some conventional attack methods!

It seems that the last robbery cultivator contributed a book on the sword techniques of the Four Seasons Sword Technique, the Sword of Spring. You can find it and study it when you have time.

The second problem is that the auxiliary force is still relatively weak. I know my own situation. The qualifications of the five spiritual roots are there. It is impossible to rely on quickly improving my cultivation to improve my combat effectiveness, and I don’t want to do that.

His aptitude is already poor, and if he were to ruin his foundation by recklessly pursuing the improvement of his cultivation, resulting in him having no way out in the future, that would be a tragedy, and this is not what Lin Changqing wants.

What Lin Changqing wants is to take one step at a time and lay a solid foundation so that he can go higher and further in the future.

Therefore, auxiliary forces are very important. Amethyst Scorpion and Chuyi are both Lin Changqing's most important assistants.

If they had been stronger this time, perhaps so many of their people would not have died.

Therefore, we still need to increase our training of them. Fortunately, this beast tide is basically over. After completing Great Grandmother's mission and returning to Jiufeng Mountain, there should be a period of stability.

Another thing is that the number of Amethyst Scorpions is still too small, but Lin Changqing observed that they showed no signs of mating. It is estimated that they will have to wait until they reach the second stage and their bodies are fully mature before they can mate and lay eggs.

Then use this time to train them well. Hopefully, they can grow to the point where they can solve all enemies for you without you having to do it yourself. That would be perfect.

The next step is to wait for Qingyun Sect to confirm that the beast tide is over, and then return to Qingyun City to exchange for foundation-building pills for my father and second uncle to take.

Besides, it is not convenient for me to go out and about during this period of time. Now I can only practice with peace of mind. I will start with the Thunder Acupoint! The fifth acupoint is almost opened successfully!

In this way, Lin Changqing began a very regular rhythm of life. If he didn't have to go on duty, he would return to his residence to practice. The results were quite good. He successfully opened the fifth Thunder Acupoint on the third day.

The talisman chosen was top-grade Thunder Spirit Pearl. Lin Changqing had already replaced all the mid-grade Thunder Spirit Pearls with top-grade ones.

The objects that guard the five thunder acupoints are now the second-grade top-grade spiritual weapon Thunder Horn, the first-grade top-grade lightning-struck wooden sword, the first-grade top-grade golden thunder sword and two first-grade top-grade thunder spirit pearls.

Another thing is that after my father and second uncle exchanged all the monster corpses, the contribution points finally exceeded 15650. Now there are a total of contribution points, which is enough to exchange for a foundation-building pill.

And with the remaining 5650, plus the 3000 contribution points of the clan leader and the 1800 contribution points of the fourteenth uncle, I should be able to exchange for one more, which is equivalent to having two Foundation Establishment Pills as a guarantee.

This doesn’t even include grandpa’s contribution points!

In this way, the foundation-building pills for my father and second uncle will be taken care of. As for my mother's foundation-building pill, at worst I can just buy it at an auction. I can always get it.

Another half a month passed, and on this day the clan leader finally received the latest information about the beast tide from the fortress commander.

On the first defense chain, 24 defense fortresses, large and small, were attacked by nearly three million monsters. Three fortresses were breached and retreated to the second defense chain. As of the latest news received yesterday, the battles in some places have not yet ended.

It is estimated that it will take another half a month for the beast tide to basically end, but some monsters will still retreat and scatter to the outskirts of Qingyun Mountains, which will cause the previous situation to reoccur. People must be sent out for regular hunting and clearing.

According to the preliminary statistics on the death toll in the twenty-four fortresses, nearly twenty thousand Qi Refining cultivators, more than eighty Foundation Establishment cultivators, and three Purple Mansion cultivators have died in this beast tide.

Although it was not explicitly stated above, Lin Changqing was certain that this time the most casualties were definitely among the family cultivators and independent cultivators. Of course, this could only be understood, not expressed in words!

The only good news for Lin Changqing is that the beast tide is finally coming to an end. This is really not easy!
It will take about half a month, and by then I estimate that my sixth thunder acupoint should have been opened and completed!
Ignore the rest for now, and hurry up to practice! No matter what, it will never be wrong to work hard to improve your strength.

On this day, at the door of Lin Changqing's residence, an early warning ban was activated. One hundred and twenty-four purple crystal scorpions were standing guard all around. Lin Changqing was inside, and now was the critical moment to open the sixth thunder acupoint.

Lin Changqing is enduring with great willpower the stimulation of the acupoints by the thunder magic power hundreds and thousands of times, causing soreness, numbness, swelling and pain. This is what he feels every day when he practices the thunder acupoints. Lin Changqing has become numb from repeating this cycle over and over again.

Where Lin Changqing was sitting cross-legged, the sweat had formed a small puddle. His face, arms, and body were all covered with sweat. Although he was sitting, he was actually doing the most intense exercise.

I don't know how long it took, but after a roar, the sixth thunder acupoint was finally split successfully! Lin Changqing's body was numb at this time.

It took him a while to recover, and then, not daring to delay, he began to send the high-quality thunder spirit pearls that had been refined in advance into the newly opened acupoint.

This is completed, and all that remains is to use the thunder magic power to slowly warm the acupoints.

With these six thunder acupoints, one can cast two Gengjin divine thunders or two Guishui Yin thunders in succession, but Lin Changqing is still accustomed to using the thunder horn as cover.

After washing and packing up, Lin Changqing prepared to look for his father and second uncle to see if there was any latest news about the beast tide.

The beast tide should be almost over now, and there should be news! He put the amethyst scorpion back into the spirit insect bag, opened the restriction, and immediately bursts of cheers came into his ears.

Lin Changqing's heart moved. Could it be...

When we rushed into the yard of our residence, we saw twenty or thirty tribesmen had already gathered together, cheering loudly and hugging each other.

Everyone looked very happy, including his father and second uncle. Lin Changqing rarely saw his father like this, so it seemed like it was indeed good news.

Grab your second uncle and ask what’s going on?

"It's over, it's over, the beast tide is over, we can go back to Qingyun City, we can go home." Second Uncle shouted excitedly.

After receiving this accurate news, Lin Changqing could no longer hold back and shouted loudly, happily joining the tribe members in celebrating.

The beast tide is finally over! Thanks to my efforts, my father and second uncle are safe.

Now, as long as we return to Qingyun City, we can exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill and let my father and second uncle try to establish their foundation.

Lin Changqing suddenly felt that everything was worth it! He felt a great sense of accomplishment, which was even happier than successfully opening ten thunder points.
