In the Earth Legend Age, various magical methods and characters emerged one after another. There were also countless treasures that were written down and regarded as legends by future generations.
One thing that can never be avoided must be the spiritual stone.
First of all, spiritual stones have become extinct on the earth. According to Taoist books, spiritual stones originate from the precipitation of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. Once the spiritual energy of heaven and earth dissipates or becomes inert, then spiritual stones will no longer be produced.
, even the generated spiritual stones will quickly turn into decay when the surrounding spiritual energy is exhausted.
The spiritual energy here in the Wild Sky Realm is very abundant. Zhang Yan had guessed before that there would be spirit stones here. But he never had the chance to look for them. He didn't expect that he would find the spirit stones this time while looking for materials for refining.
.
It was a small crystal strip three inches long and one inch wide. It was called the longevity stone in the wilderness.
According to the owner of the jewelry shop, although the longevity stone is not as colorful as other gemstones, it is often crystal clear but has a light color, which is not stylish enough to be used as an embellishment of jewelry. It is also difficult to cut because once cut, it will lose its luster.
Then it quickly becomes a dull ordinary stone. Therefore, what the longevity stone looks like when it is unearthed is what it looks like, and its adaptability is very poor. What is special about it is that wearing it closely for a long time will give people a feeling of refreshment. Although
It sounds inexplicable, but it has been confirmed by many people, and it has gradually become a consensus legend to this day.
This is also the special feature of longevity stone.
Nowadays, the longevity stone is mostly used as a gift to congratulate a baby, which means health and longevity. Some elderly people also like to wear jewelry inlaid with the longevity stone.
The situation of the longevity stone and the iron crystal in the wilderness are different. The iron crystal is labeled as "waste", while the longevity stone is the opposite. Although it is not the most expensive gem, its price is low because of its special effects, legends and meanings.
Fees are even much higher than the gold that Zhang Yan collected before.
After buying eight spiritual stones in one go, Zhang Yan left with a smile. At the same time, he also left an opening for the other party to continue looking for "strange" stones. He felt that the money was well spent.
Spirit stones can only be sold as embellishments on jewelry in the Wild Heaven Realm. The spiritual energy in them cannot be absorbed. They can only gain a little benefit by wearing it closely and permeating it for many years. The utilization rate is surprisingly low. But it is not difficult.
The explanation is that the mainstream of the Wild Sky Realm is the vitality of warriors, which has nothing to do with spiritual energy. Naturally, people will do things that seem to be quite wasteful, but this is just caused by the difference in cognitive systems.
Different from the warriors in the Wild Sky Realm, Zhang Yan comes from the Taoist sect and understands that it is not a longevity stone at all, but a spiritual stone. The reason why it loses its luster when cut is because the shell of its precipitation is broken and the spiritual energy is lost.
.So the correct way to use it is to hold the spirit stone in your hand, use the practice method to resonate with the spiritual energy in the spirit stone, and then guide it out and flow into your body.
Compared with the spiritual energy that spreads nowhere in the world, the spiritual energy in the spirit stone is purer and denser. Its effect actually has a lot in common with the Peiyuan Pill that Zhang Yan was about to start refining.
But unlike Peiyuan Dan, which can only be eaten, spiritual stones can not only be used for cultivation, but also serve as a major source of power for magical weapons. Many magical weapons can exert their power without the spiritual energy provided by monks.
The reason is that the spiritual stone replaces the monk's spiritual energy contribution, and sometimes it becomes more stable.
It's like the skylark shuttle that Zhang Yan uses to change the Ten Thousand Phase Beads. There is actually an empty groove at the bottom, which is where the spiritual stones are placed.
However, although spiritual stones are good, they are also very expensive. In the final analysis, they are still short of money.
After walking around for a while and walking back, when he arrived at the door, he saw a soldier wearing a garrison robe standing at the door of his house. Zhang Yan was curious and guessed that this was someone sent by Zhou Cang, but what happened? So?
He put away the folding fan in his hand and walked over quickly.
"I've met Mr. Zhang!"
"What does this sergeant want to do with me?"
"So that Mr. Zhou will know that Mr. Zhou of my family asked me to invite Mr. to the camp. He said that one of Mr.'s old friends has come over."
"Hmm? Now?"
"Yes sir, right now."
Zhang Yan nodded, went back home and spoke to his mother, then followed him into a carriage parked at the door, all the way out of the city and headed towards the garrison camp outside the city.
On the carriage, Zhang Yan was wondering who could make Zhou Cang call him over temporarily to reminisce about old times, rather than in a certain restaurant in Langyuan City. Who was this "old friend"?
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yan felt that there seemed to be only one possibility: Lin Zedong.
Lin Zedong and Zhou Cang were good friends at the same time. Zhang Yan used to rely on Lin Zedong's help to help Zhou Cang and keep his family safe. And he and Lin Zedong can be regarded as old friends. After all, in Yu
During the more than two years of carrying the mountain, Zhang Yan and Lin Zedong had many fights. Moreover, there was also the Bagua Array between them.
Why can't it be Song Qinghe, the general of Yubei Mountain Fortress? It's also very simple. Song Qinghe's status is too high to leave Yubei Mountain Fortress easily, and it is not something that someone of Zhou Cang's level can handle. Geng and Zhang Yan
There is no mention of the word "old friend".
When they entered the garrison camp, Zhang Yan saw Lin Zedong in Zhoucang's private tent. He hadn't seen Lin Zedong in the past three years, and Lin Zedong had not changed much, and he was still as tough as ever.
"Hahaha! Madman! I finally see you!"
"Master Lin! Zhang Yan has missed you for a long time!"
The two looked at each other and smiled. Lin Zedong smiled wantonly, and Zhang Yan smiled implicitly. But what flashed through his eyes at the same time was the emotion of nostalgia. It seemed that the word "old friend" did not seem harsh at this time.
Zhou Cang also laughed at the joke and said that now Lin Zedong is no longer the general, but a partial general, who has been promoted repeatedly. And Zhang Yan is no longer a mere criminal and a pawn, but a guest of the Wushu Academy.
Teachers and miscellaneous students asked if they were filled with emotion when they met again.
Feeling? Maybe Lin Zedong would. He should have thought that Zhang Yan would become famous based on his ability, but he never expected that it would be so fast and so exaggerated.
As for Zhang Yan, he really didn't have any feelings for Lin Zedong.
Usually in this kind of scene, one person would drink a jar of strong liquor first, and then chat about the past together while the wine was still strong. But Zhang Yan's drinking capacity did not get better with his cultivation, although it was not as bad as at the beginning.
It was pouring, but I definitely couldn't swallow even half a pound. It was completely incomparable to wine masters like Zhou Cang and Lin Zedong.
So, the three of them sat around and talked about using tea instead of wine. Zhang Yan saw that he wanted to talk about business. But now he was in the martial arts academy, and it seemed that he had nothing to do with Lin Zedong, a rising star in the army.
What did you say?
"Jiaoxi Zhang, the Yubei Mountain Fortress is no longer the same as last year. The application of the Bagua array is not only on the sentry post. It has also been deployed on the gentle terrain in front of the ridge under the arrangement of General Song. I am now
I was also transferred from Yubei Mountain to Xiyuan County by the Ministry of War Yamen. In the final analysis, it was all thanks to the booklet about the Bagua Formation that Zhang Jiaoxi gave me before he left."
