Chapter 2 Spirit Stone [Part 1]
That afternoon, Zhang Yuan was reading the book of Jiugong Bagua in his study. Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the door, and then Zhang Chong and Zhang Jiao appeared outside the study door...
Zhang Chong and Zhang Jiao stopped outside the door at the same time, and Zhang Chong greeted Zhang Yuan, "Fourth brother, second uncle is here."
After Zhang Chong said hello, he and Zhang Jiao stepped into the room. Zhang Yuan put down the book, looked at the two people entering the door, made a seat with his right hand, and greeted with a smile: "Second uncle, second brother, sit down."
Zhang Chong looked for a seat to sit down, but Zhang Jiao did not sit down. Instead, he walked to Zhang Yuan's desk, put his hand in his arms, and then took out a jade box from the red cloth bag sewn on the inside of the clothes, and placed the jade box in his hand on the table, saying, "Yuan'er, I brought something over here, it's quite strange. I think this thing is related to cultivating immortals, so I brought it here to you for a glance."
"Huh?" Zhang Yuan was a little surprised and then asked, "What?"
"The jade seal of the Ming Dynasty!" Zhang Jiao opened the jade box while saying that, and Zhang Yuan looked at the jade box and saw a golden seal placed in the jade box. The jade seal was divided into two parts, the upper part was a nine golden dragon twisted together, the lower part was square, and the surface was carved with cloud patterns.
Zhang Yuan glanced at the jade seal, then looked at Zhang Jiao, and said in confusion: "Uncle Second, what does this thing have to do with cultivating immortals?"
"Just just look at it, but if you use it to transport the spiritual energy in your body, it will have unexpected effects! In addition, you are looking at this..." Zhang Jiao said, taking out a few pieces of jade from his arms, all of which were golden jade, called gold jade, and it is the same kind of jade as the Zhenguo Jade Seal.
Zhang Jiao put the pieces of gold and jade on the table, and then continued: "Since Zhenbaoxuan received the auction commission for Zhenguo Jade Seal, for safety reasons, the Zhenguo Jade Seal has always been on me. I was idle yesterday, so I took it and played with it for a while, then put it beside me, and then practiced the technique of swallowing clouds and spitting mist to absorb spiritual energy..."
"However, I just sucked and mist and suddenly felt a strong spiritual energy gushing out from the jade seal beside me! This spiritual energy followed my legs and kept drilling into my body. I was shocked at that time and stopped my martial arts immediately. However, afterwards, I couldn't help but be curious. After experimenting several times, I discovered that once I touched the spiritual energy in my body, a large amount of spiritual energy would emerge from the jade seal in the Zhenguo Echoing the spiritual energy in my body..."
"Is this... a spirit stone?" Zhang Yuan hesitated to himself.
Zhang Yuan's voice was very small, but Zhang Chong and Zhang Jiao both heard it, and Zhang Jiao smiled and said, "I also guessed that this is a spirit stone. Yuan'er, you have said before that spirit stone is the currency of the cultivation world. The spiritual jade contains spiritual energy, which helps cultivators practice. So after I discovered the special effect of the Zhenguo Jade Seal, I went to the warehouse to find some gold and jade, and took the gold and jade to adjust the spiritual energy again. Then I found that each piece of gold and jade contained spiritual energy! So I suspected that this thing was a spirit stone, but I was not sure, so I took it to you for a look."
At this time, Zhang Chong stood up, walked to the desk, took out the jade seal of the state of the country from the jade box, looked over and over again, looked at the gold and jade gravel on the table, and then turned his eyes to Zhang Yuan and said, "Is this the spirit stone?"
"..." Zhang Yuan did not answer his second brother's words, but reached out to grab a gold and jade stone, observed it carefully, and then recalled the legendary spirit stone information on the earth, as well as the pictures and introductions of the spirit stones in the "Haoxiandao".
In the "Haohan Immortal Road" game, only NPC monsters above level 100 will explode spirit stones. However, before Zhang Yuan traveled through time in his previous life, only a few people in the entire game broke through the level 100 mark and entered the cultivation stage. Only these people had spirit stones in their hands. However, Zhang Yuan had seen the strategies of these masters on the forum, including screenshots and introductions of spirit stones.
Zhang Yuan saw screenshots of the spirit stones on the forum. The appearance of the spirit stones in the picture looks like gold bars, but are milky white, not gold. The spirit stones are neatly stacked together. Just a picture makes players envious, because those high-end players offer a price of one hundred yuan for a piece of jade, and they don’t bargain, and they don’t get any discounts if they buy more!
Zhang Yuan thought of the milky white spirit stones in the game, and the gold and jade stones on the observation table. These are completely different jades. However, according to Zhang Jiao, these gold and jade stones are indeed very similar to spirit stones! They also contain spiritual energy!
Zhang Chong and Zhang Jiao were not talking, but quietly waited for Zhang Yuan's recovery. Zhang Yuan was silent for a moment, thinking about whether he would be lying again? But then he gave up this idea, then touched his nose, and said awkwardly: "This, I don't know if this jade is a spirit stone. I have seen a spirit stone in Xianshan, but the spirit stone is milky white, but the stone is golden..."
"Not a spirit stone?" Zhang Jiao asked with a frown.
"I can't say it, maybe it's or maybe it's not, but it actually contains spiritual energy, it must be an ordinary person. I will go to the fairy mountain tomorrow and just take the gold and jade over to ask my master. Maybe the master knows what this is." Zhang Yuan said.
"Yeah, that's all." Zhang Jiao nodded and said.
… …………………
At night, in Zhang Yuan's bedroom, Zhang Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, putting a piece of gold and jade on his legs, and holding cloud seals and fog seals in his hands, exhale and inhale, breathing in fog, and at the same time introducing spiritual energy into his body...
When Zhang Yuan introduced the first fog into his body and absorbed the spiritual energy, he saw a stream of spiritual energy gushing out from the gold and jade on his legs. These spiritual energy involuntarily penetrated into his body. Some of the spiritual energy dissipated in his flesh and blood, and some of the spiritual energy entered his dantian. These spiritual energy were very soft and pure, which was higher than the purity of the spiritual energy in the mist.
Zhang Yuan felt the spiritual energy in the gold and jade entering his body. Although he was prepared for it, he was still a little surprised and happy. After experiencing it personally, it turned out that as Zhang Jiao said, the gold and jade contained pure spiritual energy. Just in terms of the characteristics of gold and jade, it was just like the spirit stone.
Zhang Yuan breathed in the fog for more than half an hour. He didn't want to stop, but he heard a "crack" sound, and then he felt the spiritual energy on his legs suddenly disappear.
Zhang Yuan subconsciously stopped the technique of swallowing clouds and spitting mist. After a little breathing, he opened his eyes and looked at the gold and jade on his legs. He found that the gold and jade as big as a fist were broken, and the color of the gold and jade became a little dim.
"...I absorbed the spiritual energy into emptied?" Zhang Yuan guessed in secret.
Zhang Yuan stroked the gravel on his leg, raised his left hand to look at the watch, and then said to himself: "For half an hour, a spirit stone as big as a fist can only absorb half an hour. Moreover, I am a rookie, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is very slow. From this point of view, the spiritual energy content of this kind of gold and jade is not much, which is far from the real spirit stone."
Zhang Yuan has never seen a real spirit stone. Of course, it is impossible to know how much spiritual energy can be contained in a spirit stone under normal circumstances. However, according to legend, cultivators will go into seclusion for several months or years at a time. If they change a spirit stone every half hour, it will be a big trouble. How can they practice? So, the spiritual energy content of a real spirit stone must be very huge!
Zhang Yuan stroked his legs again, then got out of bed with his shoes, walked to the table, picked up a piece of gold and jade on the table with his right hand, touched his chin with his left hand, and thought to himself: "How should I answer my second uncle and second brother tomorrow? This thing..."
… …………………
The next day, early morning.
Zhang Yuan got up early, slaughtered the ginseng punch several times, moved his bones, and then enjoyed the breakfast for three people. He touched his stomach, but was only eighty-sixth of full, and said intimately, "The appetite has increased unknowingly. If this continues, will I become a Saiyan?"
Zhang Yuan thought for a while, then turned to Qingqing beside him and said, "Qingqing, prepare breakfast tomorrow, prepare breakfast for four for me. Today's breakfast is not very full."
"Si Fen?" Qingqing opened Cherry's mouth in surprise, then immediately reacted and said quickly: "Yes, young master, I've recorded it."
Zhang Yuan nodded, then stood up, took the towel from Qingqing's hand, wiped the corners of his mouth and hands, then handed the towel to Qingqing, and then walked out the door...
After Zhang Yuan left the room, as usual, he had to go to the underground secret room first and then enter the dungeon world. As for which dungeon world to enter, he had to make a temporary decision. However, he has been rampant in the "Tiger-Wuhu Mountains" dungeon recently, hunting groups of apes. This situation has been going on for more than a month.
More than ten minutes later, Zhang Yuan walked to the door of the underground secret room, but found that Zhang Chong and Zhang Jiao were standing at the door of the underground secret room. The two were talking about something. However, after noticing that Zhang Yuan walked in, Zhang Chong and Zhang Jiao turned their eyes to Zhang Yuan at the same time, and Zhang Jiao said politely: "Yuan'er, you can rest well."
"It's pretty good, and I tried the gold jade last night. This gold jade is indeed filled with spiritual energy, and the effect is very similar to that of the spirit stone." Zhang Yuan said.
At this time, Zhang Chong jerked and said, "Let's go in and talk."
Zhang Chong said as he took out the key of the underground secret room from the "Qiankun Sleeve", opened the door, and then made a call. Zhang Yuan and Zhang Jiao were not polite, and walked up to the underground secret room. Zhang Chong closed the door of the underground secret room, inserted iron bolts into the door, and then caught up with Zhang Yuan and Zhang Jiao in front of him in a few steps. Then the three of them walked into the innermost room of the underground secret room.
