Chapter 543: Spirit Stone Vein
No matter how she looked at it, it was really what it looked like an egg. You can even feel the warmth emitted from it, and the seven fire dragon balls dance around happily, as if they have found some treasure. Gu Yan was dumbfounded, what are you kidding?
I don't know if the remains of an ancient beast that have existed for tens of thousands of years have long been dead and turned into white bones, and now there is an egg here?
Gu Yan cautiously walked up and surrounded the egg with her divine thoughts, but found that it was blocked by a thick eggshell, and her divine thoughts couldn't penetrate at all, so she could only vaguely sense that there was a life throbbing inside, as if she didn't know when, it would break through the eggshell and come out.
At this time, the seven fire dragon balls seemed to be beating eagerly, and the flames in the direction of Gu Yan burned more and more violently, Gu Yan had some understanding, she flicked her fingers, and the violet heavenly fire shot out from her fingertips, and countless flames suddenly wrapped this giant egg, and where the flames intersected with the eggshell, there was a sizzling sound, Gu Yan couldn't help but wonder: Should I bake this egg?
Xiao Jiang seemed very curious, it jumped off Gu Yan's shoulder, came to the giant egg, kept sniffing and sniffing, it was endowed with a strange body, the violet Tianhuo did not affect it, it could come and go freely, two small paws on the eggshell, squeaked towards Gu Yan, and didn't know what it was talking about.
Gu Yan sensed the breath of life inside, surrounded by the violet heavenly fire, it did not become weaker, but more vigorous, she quietly realized, as if she felt the scene when the Nine Peaks were first opened, the chaotic vitality flashed for the first time, and a life was beginning to be born under her catalysis.
As the violet heavenly fire became more and more intense, the giant egg began to spin rapidly, and the humidity on the surface of the eggshell kept rising, as if something was anxiously slamming inside, making a thumping sound.
At this moment, the seven fire dragon balls suddenly gathered in the air, turned into a fiery python shadow, and then rushed towards the giant egg.
A loud bang was heard. The huge impact force shook Gu Yandu back a few steps, and Xiao Jiang was directly shocked and flew out upside down, falling to the wall, and his hair became messy. Pitifully looked back at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan's eyes widened, looking at the shattered giant egg in front of him. The eggshell almost accounts for more than eighty percent of the volume of the entire dome, and the space in the middle is extremely narrow, and the seven fire dragon balls that originally rushed into it have disappeared at this time, and there is only a strange little spirit beast inside, which is all over the place. Slowly crawl out of it.
The appearance of this spirit beast is very strange, it is not the same as the giant python, but it looks like a long four-legged snake, with a thin neck, a big head, swaying left and right, looking naΓ―ve and cute, Gu Yan from its body. I didn't feel any aura. This...... Is this really a spirit animal? Isn't someone playing a prank on themselves?
At this moment, she even thought that the Yechi tribe was joking with her, but she didn't think about it. This place is like a god, no one enters lightly, and when they came in just now, they didn't find that there were any traces of people before. This giant egg should have been left in the belly of the divine beast tens of thousands of years ago. But why is it not hatched until now?
The little beast slowly opened its eyes at this time, and at first glance it saw the eggshells surrounding it, and opened its mouth, showing a very happy expression, as if it had seen food. Quickly pounced, revealing a row of fine white teeth in his mouth, and without hesitation, he lowered his mouth and gnawed the thick eggshell clean.
Gu Yan was stunned as it squeaked and ate all the eggshells, and wiped its mouth with its small paws in front of it, and couldn't help but think. How can this little beast be as tired as little ginger?
As soon as the little beast looked up at this time, it saw Gu Yan standing in front of it, and suddenly let out a cheerful cry, the voice was very sharp, like the cry of a baby when he was just learning to speak, it was crisp and crisp, and it was very good, "Quack!" Wail! β
After screaming twice, it threw itself into Gu Yan's arms, its head kept rubbing against her, looking extremely intimate, that kind of look, like a child, seeing its mother?
Gu Yan couldn't help but be stunned, this little guy seemed to be more intimate to himself than the current Xiao Jiang, it wouldn't really think that it was hatched by me, right?
She looked carefully at the little beast in her arms, the size was still very small, not half the size of Xiao Jiang, the red and crystal clear skin on the body, with beautiful lines, two eyes shiny, very cute. Gu Yan suddenly felt a trace of cherishment, for so many years, only Xiao Jiang has been by her side, she is no longer a spirit pet, she is a friend, so, one more, it's nothing, right?
Gu Yan pressed it on its forehead, instilling his own aura into it, which was regarded as leaving his own mark in its sea of consciousness, and then said, "Even if we are friends, okay?" β
The little beast seemed to understand Gu Yan's words, raised his head, and made a croaking sound, Gu Yan thought for a while, and said, "In the future, you can call it it!" β
The seven fire dragon balls that were originally flying in the air had completely disappeared at this time, and Gu Yan couldn't help but think, could it be that they had been swallowed into his body? I don't know what connection it has with this ancient divine beast that has been dead for tens of thousands of years.
She smiled and shook her head, a little beast without any aura, could it still be a descendant of an ancient divine beast? I heard that those divine beasts or big demons with ancient bloodlines can shock the world when they are born, cry wind and rain, create chaos in the world, and give birth to changes in yin and yang.
Xiao Jiang climbed onto Gu Yan's shoulder again at this time, looked at him with a vigilant gaze, Gu Yan patted its head, "Xiao Jiang, this is your new friend, you are not allowed to make trouble!" β
As if she had been protected by Gu Yan, she crawled in her arms and was reluctant to move, and she raised her head lazily and looked at Xiao Jiang with a provocative gaze. Xiao Jiang kept waving his claws at it, but he didn't dare to rush up and take a bite.
At this time, it seemed that he suddenly thought of something, ran down from Gu Yan's arms, and then ran towards the corpse of the divine beast, as if holding something with his teeth, and dragged it out hard.
It took half a day of hard work to drag out a jade box made of pale yellow spar from the corpse. Holding it with his two front paws, he handed it to Gu Yan's hand as if he was inviting merit.
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, "This is the Light Moon Crystal, a spirit stone mine that only existed in ancient times, and now it is rare." In such a spiritual vein. Usually there will be the existence of medium-grade spirit stones! β
She opened the jade box first, and inside was a booklet as thin as a cicada's wing, with ancient characters written on it, and it seemed to be very old. The paper is starting to turn slightly yellow.
Gu Yan didn't care, she heard that in ancient times, it was not popular to use jade slips to transmit information, especially those who had great powers, and they were all recorded on paper. There is very little text on this booklet, and most of them are pictures. Gu Yan looked at it, and his heart couldn't help but move.
This is the picture above. There were about twenty or thirty paintings, all of which were in the shape of spirit grass, each of which she had never seen in her life, and on the side of the picture, the names of these spirit grasses were noted one by one, which made Gu Yan suddenly excited, this is a catalogue of ancient spirit grass types!
When she was returning to the ruins of the sea, she once came from a female cultivator named Shen Yunli. I got a booklet that listed rare species of spirit grass, but what was recorded there was also rare. It's all things that can be found in this world, but this catalogue is really a catalogue of ancient spirit seeds.
She looked at them one by one, the Xuantian Spirit Branch, the Liyue Tree, the Jade Quenching Cabbage, and so on, all of which were only seen in the classical texts, and there had never been a physical object or a catalogue.
On one of the pages is a painting of the purple flower, also known as the two-life flower. and wrote in detail about how to use the formula when alchemy, Gu Yan carefully read that page several times, and memorized the content on it.
At the back of each catalogue, there is also a small note, which reads the cultivation method of the spirit grass and the results. The experience of how to refine. Gu Yan guessed that it might have been recorded by the owner of the ruins.
It's just that his name is not left on this catalogue, maybe he thinks it's just a trail and not worth mentioning.
This catalogue is not thick, it is only about twenty or thirty pages, and only half of the names in it have been seen by Gu Yan in the classics, and they are all the first time to see the true appearance. Seeing the uses listed above, she couldn't help but sigh, the overhaul in ancient times, the mana was through the heavens and the earth, and the resources that could be used were also heavenly and earthly treasures, and in today's immortal cultivation world, it is really incomparable.
Twenty or thirty pages of the booklet, it didn't take a moment to finish, Gu Yan looked at it casually, on the three pages of zuihou, three unknown Lingcao were listed, and there was a small note on the back: mysterious and inexplicable, I don't know what it means, record it on paper, and wait for future generations to see it.
The appearance of the three spirit grasses was very peculiar, Gu Yan turned to the page of zuihou, and suddenly, her hand trembled. I saw something very familiar come to life!
She subconsciously glanced at it, and there was no one around, so she took out a jade box from the Qiankun bag.
This jade box has been put away since she began her retreat, and it has been sealed in the corner for more than ten years, making her almost forget the existence of this thing, but today's catalogue made Gu Yan shocked.
She paddled the spiritual trick, and the jade box opened by itself, and there were two half-foot-long dead branches inside, lying there quietly, which were the two dead branches she had obtained with Xuandu Ling on the body of the short monk when she was on the mountain all day.
These two withered branches are still the same as they were back then, without the slightest aura in their bodies, but they can survive for 10,000 years without decaying, which in itself shows that it is unusual.
Back then, when Gu Yan was in the ancient battlefield, Han Qianyu designed to besiege and kill her, it was for the sake of these two dead branches, and it was precisely because of this that it would lead to a great change in the Flying Bird Gate, and Yu Shang and others defected to the Bixia Sect.
Gu Yan killed Han Qianyu in the ancient battlefield, and no one saw that incident at the time, so there was no rumor of it afterwards. Originally, Han Qianyu's identity was only known to Yuan Zitan, Gu Yan had thought that Yuan Zitan might guess something, but for so many years, the Yuan family was deeply introverted, and there was no trace of rumors coming out, so that Gu Yan couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
And these two withered branches were also regarded by Gu Yan as a secret alongside the secret realm of Xuandu, and for so many years, only the four of them knew about it, and it had never been leaked. Over the years, she has also used countless methods, using aura to probe, exploring with divine thoughts, letting Xiao Jiang use the Eye of Destruction to illuminate it, and even once threw it into the Violet Heavenly Fire to burn, and put it in the Nine Peaks Ding to refine, but no matter what, these two dead branches have always been lying there quietly, as if they had opened the heavens and the earth, and they have never changed.
Later, Gu Yan simply gave up her efforts, threw them in the jade box, and put them in the corner of the Qiankun bag, so many years, she had almost forgotten about it, but as soon as she saw this catalog. It instantly awakened the memory in her mind.
She looked at the catalogue carefully, it was divided into two halves, and on top was a flower of extremely brilliant shape, shining with golden light. Ruicai thousands of strange flowers, with a few strokes below a withered branch, and the jade box is the same. The above is annotated with a short text: It is obtained from the sea, the clouds and mist meet the sky, and the junction of the two days is like clouds when it blooms, and there is no trace when it is grateful. Fire and water cannot invade, thunder cannot be extinguished, and I will save it for future generations.
Obviously, with the great talent of the owner of the ruins, he also does not know the origin and function of this withered branch, and only writes that "when it blooms, it is like a cloud, and there is no trace of Xie time", presumably the withered branch is the true original form of this spiritual grass, and it is written that water and fire cannot invade. The thunderstorm cannot be extinguished, but it is also in line with Gu Yan's cognition of withered branches.
I don't know if the short monk 10,000 years ago knew the origin of this dead branch. Just put it solemnly with the secret order of Xuandu and carry it on your body? I'm afraid it's become a mystery for the ages.
Gu Yan finished the catalogue carefully, and there was no mention of the content of the withered branches in it, so he put the brochure away with some regret. Although this catalogue is precious, it is really of little use to her now, where can she find these ancient spiritual roots now?
And when the owner of the ruins was alive, these spirit grasses must have been everywhere, and they were really not worth cherishing as a record and passing them on, maybe it was just his whim. It's just an occasional note, so when all the utensils in this place are moved, they will be discarded here at will.
However, Gu Yan still put it away, and then carefully inspected the main hall to confirm that there was nothing else except the skeleton on the altar. Gu Yan took it into the chaotic space, and said to Xiao Jiang: "You remember, don't bully it!" β
After entering the chaotic space, its eyes suddenly lit up, and the countless rich purple gold aura around it made its saliva almost drip down, and when it saw the flowers and plants that Gu Yan planted in the chaotic space, it pounced on it and gnawed it, and after eating and drinking, it ran to the spiritual spring again, rolled comfortably, and then soaked in it leisurely.
Gu Yan couldn't help but be a little funny, it seems that this four-legged snake, like Xiao Jiang, is also a lazy thing, Xiao Jiang is staring at it from the side, as if he is quite dissatisfied with the fact that some beasts dare to invade his territory, Gu Yan doesn't pay attention to them, anyway, the chaotic space is very large, and it doesn't matter if they occupy one side.
She bowed respectfully to the skeleton three times, and said in her heart: Whether it is your descendant or not, I will also raise it as a good person, and I will not treat it as an ordinary spiritual pet.
The bones seemed to be spiritual, and suddenly emitted a faint golden light, flashing at Gu Yan a few times, and then extinguished again, and then with a "bang", it scattered into countless pieces and fell on the altar.
Beneath this skeleton, there is a faint glow. Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, this seemed to be like the light emitted by the light moon crystal?
The jade box that holds the catalogue is made of light moon spar, Gu Yan suddenly thought in her heart: If according to her thoughts, this is just a booklet written down by the god lord back then, then she will not solemnly make a jade box and hold it, it must be made of local materials, could it be said: There is a light moon spar here?
She bowed to the scattered bones again and said, "Offended! With both hands waving forward, a purple light curtain rose from her hands, holding up the skeleton flat and rising into the air, Gu Yan suddenly gasped, the entire altar except for the layer of jade wrapped outside, it turned out that the inside was full of light moon crystals!
It seems that there is something naturally forbidden on this skeleton, which shields Gu Yan's divine thoughts, so that she does not see the situation in the main hall for a while, when the bones are scattered, Gu Yan's divine thoughts instantly extend out, and she only then discovers that in the depths of the earth, there is actually a vein of light moon crystal.
This suddenly surprised Gu Yan!
The light moon spar itself is not abnormal, but as a high-grade spar vein that will only appear after millions of years of sedimentation, the spirit stones produced in it are of excellent quality, and they are usually accompanied by medium-grade spirit stones, which is what makes Gu Yan feel overjoyed.
Now the Bixia Sect is powerful and powerful, and its situation is not the same as the embarrassment back then. Speaking of spirit stones alone, every year the elders can get a lot of money to worship, like Gu Yan can get the highest number of all people, according to the annual income of the sect, at least around 10,000 spirit stones.
When she went out of the customs this time, she had heard Gan Biwu mention that the spirit stone veins controlled by the Bixia Sect were at least more than a dozen, all over Yunze. It's just that the Bixia Sect has risen too fast, if it is compared with the great clans of the Yuan and Qin families, which have lasted for thousands of years, it is a lot worse, at least the medium-grade spirit stone is their rare shortage. However, Gu Yan is the one who needs the most medium-grade spirit stones, which are very useful for arranging formations and refining magic weapons.
Therefore, the Bixia Sect has to pay a lot of money every year, going to the exchange to exchange with people for medium-grade spirit stones, which is inevitably exploited by those families, but it is not deliberately embarrassing, it is just a rule.
Now that he has this vein, Gu Yan has investigated it with his divine thoughts, and the amount of hidden in it can be said to exceed the amount of any previous vein of Bixia Sect, which is not only enough for his own use, but can even be exported, so that Bixia Sect does not have to be constrained by other sects on the spirit stone.
Gu Yan thought about it quickly, she subdued the Yechi Clan, originally wanted to take this mountain for herself, she wanted to build another spiritual garden here because of the special terrain of this mountain, and she was ready to wait for the return from the Tibetan Sword Villa to do this again. But with the discovery of this vein, Jihua seems to be about to change somewhat.
She thought about it, and decided to send the news back to Bixia Sect, and let Gan Biwu send someone to guard this mountain first, and build this mountain into a horn with the rudder in Banyue City, the two complement each other, Bixia Sect will be as stable as Mount Tai in the land of Nanpu, and then send people to quietly mine the spiritual vein, even if other people know that Bixia Sect occupies this place, they will only think that it is Gu Yan's own behavior, and they will not think of the spiritual vein for a while.
But if that's the case, there's nothing wrong with this place. She thought of what Ye Chilian said, and gently tapped her forehead: "It seems that they still have a dispute with Baibo Ridge not far away?" β
She put down the bones of the divine beast and prepared to put a coffin for burial, and then quickly took out the spirit stone and arranged a magic circle here to avoid being inadvertently seen through by outsiders, and then she returned the same way.
Then walked through the long corridor, everything was as usual, and when he reached the ground, Gu Yan broke through the gate and came out, and found that the original stone forest had become a bare white ground, and only Xie Yunshi was holding the token and standing on the side.
When she saw Gu Yan coming out of the underground cave mansion, she immediately stepped forward in surprise and said, "The elder has been underground for three days, and the Yechi patriarch has come to ask a few times. β
Gu Yan said in surprise: "I don't think it's been long, it's actually been three days." She looked around and asked, "What about Ye Chilian and the others?" β
Xie Yun said: "The Yechi patriarch went to arrange the clansmen, and he would come over to inquire at noon every day, and the current clansmen have probably arranged almost, and they are all willing to serve the elders as the lord, make a blood oath, and serve for life." After speaking, he presented the token in his hand again.
Gu Yan took it and put it in his arms, the imprint of the heart that is deep in the blood of his own clan is really indelible. But this is also in her expectation, people's faith sometimes becomes deeper and deeper with the accumulation of history, and will not be erased by others.
She looked back at the white land, and suddenly raised her hand, dozens of spars flew out of her hand and fell around the white ground, and then the five-pole array flag flew out, quickly sinking into the ground, and suddenly the aura overflowed, and dozens of pillars of light rose to the sky, firmly covering this place. Gu Yan said: "There is the Nine Heavens Miluo here, and I will protect each other with the flag gate, this will be the main altar of my Bixia Sect in Nanpu!" β
Xie Yun was surprised: "What does the elder mean, is he preparing to march into Nanpu in a big way?" β
Gu Yan said with a smile: "No, I still have to cover it up for the time being, but I intend to set up this place as the location of the main altar, and I will send a message back to Danxia Mountain, so that the head of the family can send more people to come." β
Xie Yun was really overjoyed, they were standing in Banyue City, and they were most suffering from a lack of manpower and it was difficult to do anything, but now listening to Gu Yan's meaning, they actually intended to show their strength here, which suddenly made her full of energy.
At this time, a few figures in the distance came quickly, it was Ye Chi Lian and several elders of the Ye Chi clan, they fell to the ground, and they quickly bowed to Gu Yan: "See the Divine Master!" β
Gu Yan waved his hand to get him up and said, "I once heard from you that you are fighting with the wild clan of Baibo Ridge, I don't know what the details are?" (To be continued)
