"Why didn't Mr. Yang tell you these basic things?"
Fang Yijun glanced at the two of them strangely, and suddenly understood.
Some things, if you find out by yourself, will definitely be remembered more firmly than if others proactively tell you.
In fact, Fang Yijun's guess was correct. Mr. Yang had a lot of mysterious jade there, but he didn't give any of them to Su Xiaofan and Yang Xiu.
The purpose is very simple. When Mr. Yang entered this restricted area, he did not have any family elders to guide him. He could get into the current situation entirely by himself.
However, the cultivation levels of Su Xiaofan and Yang Xiu at this time are not weaker than that of Mr. Yang back then, so there is no reason why they are not as good as him back then.
Especially Yang Xiu, who has become the pride of so many young people in the village, so he must show his abilities, otherwise he will not be qualified to become the next head of the Yang family.
"Xuanyu, to put it simply, is the essence of ten thousand years of Xuanbing.
The ten thousand years I mentioned here are just a metaphor. Mysterious jade is most likely formed over hundreds of thousands or tens of millions of years.
Perhaps because of the different ages of formation, the quality of xuan jade is also different, and it is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower.
Mysterious jade has the function of storing true energy and spiritual power. The higher the level of mystical jade, the more energy it stores. As for the use of this, I don’t need to say more..."
Fang Yijun didn't give in. Everyone in the restricted area knew about Xuanyu. The two of them would basically understand everything after hanging out in this city for a few more days.
"The spiritual power stored in Xuan Yu can be used to replenish one's own consumption? Isn't that the same as spiritual stone?"
Su Xiaofan asked, if Xuan Yu had such a function, it would be of great use.
When high-level cultivators fight, they often use special moves that consume extremely much of their true energy. Just like when Su Xiaofan killed Qinling Xiongzhi, his true energy was almost completely consumed.
If Su Xiaofan could absorb spiritual power that matched his own at that time, Su Xiaofan would not have his consciousness damaged and fall into the Yin Shen realm.
Calculated in this way, except that Xuanyu needs to instill spiritual power into it, its functions are almost the same as those of spiritual stones.
"It's different, Xuanyu is a one-time consumable item."
Fang Yijun shook his head and said: "A mysterious jade will be damaged after use, but the spirit stone is different. Even a low-grade spirit stone is enough for a Yang Shen realm cultivator to use it many times."
"I see."
Su Xiaofan nodded, this is only reasonable, otherwise the effect of constantly instilling spiritual power into the mysterious jade would be even greater than the spiritual stone.
It is estimated that Mr. Yang did not expect that when he returned to China last time, he would encounter the clearing of restricted areas. Otherwise, he would definitely have brought a mysterious jade with him, and he would not have been in such a mess after killing Xiong Zhi.
"Brother, what is Xuanyu's purchasing power in the restricted area?"
Su Xiaofan continued to ask: "Where can I get this thing?"
"Ten low-grade mysterious jade can be exchanged for a medium-grade magic weapon.
Ten pieces of middle-grade mysterious jade can be exchanged for one low-grade treasure.
And ten pieces of high-grade mysterious jade can buy an extraordinary corpse including inner elixir."
"What's the use of an extraordinary corpse?"
Su Xiaofan was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Except for the delicious meat of extraordinary creatures, their inner elixirs had no effect on Su Xiaofan.
"you do not know?"
Fang Yijun was also stunned, "I don't blame you. There are relatively few extraordinary people out there, and they are difficult to kill, so I don't know the benefits of extraordinary people."
As soon as Fang Yijun said this, Su Xiaofan didn't say anything, but Yang Xiu's expression became a little strange.
"Brother Yang, what's wrong?" This time Fang Yijun noticed something was wrong with Yang Xiu's expression.
"Xiao Fan and my grandfather killed a saint-level extraordinary in a restricted area outside."
Yang Xiu thought for a while, but decided to tell the story. Anyway, the story had spread in the country, and Fang Yijun would know about it even if he didn't tell him when he returned in the future.
"Oh? Junior brother, it's okay, I actually fought with a saint-level supernatural being!"
Fang Yijun really didn't expect that Su Xiaofan could cooperate with Yang Lao to kill the saint-level extraordinary. This is something that very few practitioners in the foundation-building stage can do.
But Fang Yijun didn't care too much. After all, Jian Zong has always been able to kill enemies beyond the ranks, and Fang Yijun could do this.
Of course, it was definitely Yang Lao's credit for killing the Saint. The most Su Xiaofan could do was to check him from the side. The flying swords in the Foundation Establishment Stage could not hurt the Saint's extraordinary life.
"It's all Mr. Yang's credit, I'll just play a few drums." Su Xiaofan's words made Fang Yijun think more and more that his guess was correct.
"Let me tell you about the function of extraordinary corpses."
Fang Yijun brought the topic back, "The most important thing for extraordinary creatures is naturally the inner elixir. The inner elixir can be used as medicine and can be refined into elixirs for Yang Shen realm cultivation. From this point of view, its value is immeasurable.
In addition, the inner elixir can also be used to refine weapons. Usually the inner elixir is embedded in a treasure, which can improve the function of the treasure by 50%.
Sometimes inlaying inner elixirs into weapons can even improve the level of the weapon, but there is a certain damage rate and non-masters of weapon refiners should not try it.
As for extraordinary skins, they are very expensive in the Glacier Restricted Area. If the skin of an ordinary extraordinary creature is complete, it can be exchanged for three high-grade mysterious jade.
In addition, the bones and flesh of extraordinary creatures can be eaten and used as medicine. In short, there is nothing superfluous about an extraordinary creature, from hair to internal organs."
"Senior Brother Fang, it's not all like this."
Su Xiaofan asked with some confusion: "Does anyone want the flesh and blood of the Arctic fox?"
Mr. Yang said that he would take the Arctic fox's flesh and blood and viscera for fishing. If it could be sold, Su Xiaofan wouldn't mind using the waste. He is currently short of mysterious jade.
"Well……"
Fang Yijun's face froze for a moment, "Well, it's a bit special. If the smell is not eliminated, no one will want to eat it."
Fang Yijun told the truth, the arctic fox's inner elixir and fur were extremely sought-after hard currency, but few people wanted the flesh and blood viscera in the restricted area.
Of course, just because cultivators don't want it doesn't mean those extraordinary or ordinary creatures don't want it.
Regardless of how they taste, eating them is a great supplement. If ordinary creatures eat them, they have a high chance of evolving into extraordinary beings.
"Huh? Junior Brother Su, then... that nest of Arctic foxes, couldn't... couldn't have been killed by you and Mr. Yang, right?"
Fang Yijun's expression suddenly froze and he looked at Su Xiaofan.
Being able to cultivate to the realm of half-step Yang Shen, Fang Yijun's brain is naturally extremely easy to use.
Su Xiaofan, who knew nothing about the restricted area, actually knew that the Arctic fox had special flesh and blood. This reminded Fang Yijun of what happened a few days ago.
Moreover, on a glacier not far from the scene of the fight, there are still traces left by spears. Someone once thought of Mr. Yang.
But firstly, Mr. Yang left the restricted area, and secondly, with Mr. Yang's cultivation, it would be difficult to kill a single saint-level transcendent, let alone kill a group of them.
Therefore, the suspicion of Mr. Yang's action has been eliminated, but now Fang Yijun doesn't think so. Maybe he is really related to Mr. Yang again.
"Brother, is this possible?"
Su Xiaofan said the truth without changing his expression, "If I advance to the Yangshen realm, I might be able to do it, but now I'm still a little short..."
Hearing what Su Xiaofan said, Fang Yijun became suspicious of his own ideas.
Fang Yijun might believe that Su Xiaofan hid his cultivation, but even to death he would not believe that Su Xiaofan was a cultivator of Yang Shen.
After all, when the master left, Su Xiaofan was still a practitioner in the Qi training stage. After only a few months of practice, he couldn't directly cross a big realm.
"Senior Brother Fang, you haven't said where you got that mysterious jade."
Su Xiaofan found that his senior brother was very imaginative and almost guessed what happened to him several times, so he quickly changed the topic.
"It must have been dug up."
Fang Yijun shook his head and got rid of the crazy idea that Su Xiaofan might be a Yang Shen cultivator.
"Under a thousand meters, you can mine mysterious jade from thousands of years of mysterious ice. The further you go down, the higher the grade of mysterious jade. However, the job of mining jade is not very easy."
According to Fang Yijun, within the restricted area of the glacier, there are many ravines and fissures that have existed for some time, and the deepest ones are several thousand meters deep.
Xuanyu is produced in these glacial crevices, but it is not easy to mine it from underground glaciers.
First of all, the temperature under the glacier thousands of meters away, especially close to the ten thousand year old ice, is very low, usually around 50 degrees below zero.
In such extremely cold temperatures, even Yang Shen cultivators will feel that their spiritual power is not flowing smoothly, and their cultivation can only reach 60 to 70% at best.
Moreover, as the top combat force in the restricted area, Yangshen cultivators will not lower themselves to do the work of mining jade.
Therefore, most of the work of picking jade is done by practitioners in the foundation building stage, especially practitioners in the early stage of foundation building.
After many cultivators in the early stages of foundation building came to the restricted area, they often stayed under the glacier for more than ten years. After earning enough black jade, they came to live on the ice.
However, practitioners in the foundation-building stage cannot withstand the severe cold under the ice.
So before they go down to pick jade, they often have to come to this market to rent or buy extraordinary leather armor to keep out the cold, and elixirs are also indispensable.
Therefore, even if these people work for more than ten years, most of the mysterious jade they earn will be divided up by the alchemy or weapon refining workshops in the city.
"A cultivator who just came in will have to mine jade for more than ten years?"
Su Xiaofan and Yang Xiu looked at each other, and were very glad that they followed Mr. Yang in. If they were casual cultivators, they couldn't really do hard work to make money.
"Actually, it's not as difficult as you think."
Fang Yijun smiled and said: "I also stayed there for three years. There is no shortage of spiritual energy in the cold place, and the harsh environment can also temper the mind, which is actually very beneficial to cultivation."
"Can you sharpen your mind?"
Yang Xiu thought thoughtfully. He came to the Glacier Restricted Area this time just to train his mind. Otherwise, when his spiritual consciousness is advanced, he will most likely not be able to succeed.
"Senior Brother Fang, can everyone go pick jade?"
Yang Xiu did not hide his thoughts and said: "If it can really sharpen one's mind, I would also like to stay there for a few years."
"There are so many glacial crevasses in the restricted area, so of course everyone can go down there."
Fang Yijun said: "And it's very safe down there. Normal extraordinary creatures won't go down there. If you want to go, just find a glacier crevice with no traces of human cultivators' activities."
The Glacier Exclusion Zone is so big that if you travel across thousands of square kilometers in it, you may not be able to see a single creature.
Although there are not everywhere glacial fissures thousands of meters deep, there are quite a few of them, and one or two can always be found within a range of hundreds of kilometers.
"Xiao Fan, when I go back to help you find your father, I will go down to pick jade!"
Yang Xiu made up his mind at this moment. With his current level of cultivation, he was not capable of hunting extraordinary beings, and facing saint-level extraordinary beings would only cost him his life. This kind of experience was not what he wanted.
Since training in a harsh and cold environment can also sharpen one's mind, Yang Xiu would naturally choose the latter. It does not mean that he is greedy for life and afraid of death. This is a relatively late choice of merit.
"Brother Yang, if you have this intention, just tell Mr. Yang later and you can do it. You don't have to wait for me."
Su Xiaofan shook his head. After arriving in the restricted area, he was a little desperate to find his father. It would be really difficult for him to find his father in such a big place if he was hidden somewhere underground and couldn't get out.
If he really couldn't find it, Su Xiaofan planned to guard outside the entrance to the restricted area. There were still five or six months before the Chinese New Year, so even if his father didn't go home, he would still leave the restricted area and call himself.
"That's not okay. We came here together. Let's take care of your affairs first."
Yang Xiu is still very loyal. Although he knows that his cultivation level cannot be of much help, having one more person searching for him will always give him more strength.
"We'll talk about this later. Let's go to the ancestor tomorrow to see if there is any news."
Su Xiaofan smiled bitterly. It was inconvenient to have Yang Xiu following him. At least the speed would be much slower. If he was attacked, he would have to spare his energy to protect Yang Xiu.
"By the way, there is a trade fair tomorrow, will you attend?"
Fang Yijun suddenly thought of this, "There's no rush to see Master. We can attend the trade fair in the morning and leave in the afternoon."
"Okay, I just wanted to see how the cultivators in the restricted area trade."
Su Xiaofan nodded. After entering the restricted area, he understood that it was not easy to find his father, so he felt relatively calm now.
"Junior Brother Su, Brother Yang, I have some mysterious jade here, you take it first."
Fang Yijun hurriedly entered the inner room and came out with a small leather bag in his hand and said: "Senior brother, I am not very rich and I don't have much black jade. You can use it first."
"Senior brother, I'm sorry, I haven't seen Xuan Yu yet."
Su Xiaofan took the skin bag, opened it and poured out the contents.
There are a total of fourteen pieces of mysterious jade about the size of a thumb. Although they are mined from ten thousand years of mysterious ice, the tentacles feel a little warm and not as cool as expected.
The fourteen pieces of mysterious jade are not exactly the same. Eight of them are a little turbid in color and not very transparent.
The other four pieces are transparent, but there is a hint of cyan in the jade, and they don't look so pure.
There are only two pieces of mysterious jade, which look extremely clear and moist. If the prediction is correct, these two pieces should be high-grade mysterious jade.
"Junior brother, Yang Xiu, I suggest you keep these two pieces of high-grade mysterious jade for yourself and don't trade them.
Then when you practice every day, pour some true energy into it. If it is full, this high-grade mysterious jade will produce a trace of gold, and you just need to carry it with you."
Fang Yijun gave two pieces of high-grade mysterious jade to give the two of them a life-saving trump card. Cultivators living in the restricted area will basically carry charged mysterious jade with them.
At certain critical junctures when encountering danger, if the body's true energy is exhausted, absorbing the true energy stored in the mysterious jade will give you the strength to escape no matter what.
Fang Yijun was really not stingy with the two of them. Normally, high-grade mysterious jade was used by cultivators in the Yangshen realm to store spiritual power, but in order to allow the two of them to store more true energy, Fang Yijun still took out his old treasure.
However, Fang Yijun made a mistake. Otherwise, if Su Xiaofan used the middle-grade mysterious jade to store spiritual power, he would only lose one mysterious jade in vain.
"Brother Yang, each of us has half."
After each of them put away a piece of high-grade mysterious jade, Su Xiaofan divided the remaining mysterious jade on the ice table into two parts and pushed one part to Yang Xiu.
"This... I won't be polite if you report it later."
Yang Xiu was very poor now, and he was not the kind of person who didn't know how to adapt, so he accepted the favor immediately.
"Come on, I'll take you to rest. It's relatively safe to practice here."
Seeing that the two of them had no doubts, Fang Yijun stood up. The junior brother was here, and he, as a senior brother, naturally had to make arrangements.
"Senior brother, aren't you taking a rest in the weapon refining workshop?"
Su Xiaofan was stunned for a moment when he heard this. In addition to a foyer, this weapon refining workshop has a room on the left and right sides.
"This place is just for attracting business. I don't usually sit here."
Fang Yijun smiled and said: "I just happened to be here to look for some medicinal materials, so I asked the senior brother who was originally stationed here to go out and relax for a few days. He should be back around tomorrow afternoon."
"What medicinal materials are you looking for, Senior Brother Fang? Have you found them?"
After Yang Xiu accepted Fang Yijun's benefits, he naturally wanted to return the favor as soon as possible. If he wanted to do it, he would ask first, maybe he could meet him in the future.
"I couldn't find it. What I'm looking for is a spiritual fruit called Ice Fire Fruit."
Fang Yijun shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "But this thing is just a legend that appeared more than a hundred years ago. It's hard to say whether it exists in reality..."
The ice fire fruit mentioned by Fang Yijun is born deep in the core of the earth, and often appears in places where magma and glaciers meet in the core of the earth.
One ice and one fire form two extreme forms, but when mature, ice and fire can blend together, giving it a very magical effect.
Legend has it that after eating the ice fire fruit, the true energy in the body can be perfectly converted into spiritual power, and it can help stabilize the sea of consciousness and increase the success rate of hitting the Yangshen realm by 60%.
Although Fang Yijun has now touched the threshold of being promoted to Yangshen, and is also called a half-step Yangshen, he only understands his own affairs.
Fang Yijun knew that his cultivation time was still a bit short, and his accumulation of true energy and spiritual consciousness were not yet perfect enough. Now, if he attacks the Yangshen realm, he has only half the chance of success at most.
So in the past few years, Fang Yijun has been looking for spiritual herbs and elixirs that can increase the chance of passing levels, but the one with the best effect is undoubtedly the legendary ice fire fruit.
"I want to use foreign objects to attack Yang Shen and make the two junior brothers laugh."
Fang Yijun himself didn't have much hope in finding the Ice Fire Fruit, but he would come to the market for a few days every year to try his luck.
"Senior brother, maybe you are lucky and you will meet him." Yang Xiu smiled and kept the characteristics of the ice fire fruit in his heart.
"Senior brother, where should we go to rest?"
Following Fang Yijun out of the weapon refining workshop, Su Xiaofan noticed that he spread out his body and walked towards the iceberg not far away.
"Didn't you notice that there are many ice caves on those icebergs?"
This small basin guarded by icebergs was only a few kilometers in diameter. After a while, several people arrived under the icebergs.
After hearing what Fang Yijun said, Su Xiaofan noticed that there were indeed many ice caves on this iceberg, and they all had traces of human digging.
"These dozen or so ice caves all belong to our Sword Sect. There are currently no people living in them. You can just pick any one."
Su Xiaofan extended his consciousness and discovered that the area of these ice caves was about ten meters deep.
After passing through a passage of four to five meters, a living room of more than ten square meters was dug out, with tables, chairs, and beds all available, but they were all made of ice.
"Two senior brothers, I'm going to rest first."
Su Xiaofan had no choice and walked into an ice cave casually.
Perhaps because of the isolation from the cold wind, the temperature inside the ice cave is seven to eight degrees higher than outside.
On the bed made of ice, there was also a piece of skin with traces of patchwork and patchwork. It looked like it should be the extraordinary skin of someone who had been beheaded.
"Huh? This futon is really good."
Su Xiaofan's spiritual consciousness noticed a futon on the bed. Its material was very similar to low-grade black jade. After his spiritual consciousness came into contact with it, he immediately felt a sense of warmth.
"There is a difference between having a backer and not having a backer."
After taking off the backpack on his back and putting it aside, Su Xiaofan sat down cross-legged on the futon with peace of mind. The piece of high-grade mysterious jade was held in the palm of Su Xiaofan's hand.
On the first day he entered, he was attacked and killed by a saint-level extraordinary. Su Xiaofan knew that this restricted area was not a kind place.
Therefore, it is necessary to inject some spiritual power into Xuanyu first and have more life-saving trump cards.
