Chapter Ninety-Two: The Flying Stone
Seeing Chen Lan coming, Zhu Yan didn't stop what he was doing, one reason was that he found that the color of the rock had gradually turned white—it was limestone, and the second reason was that he hadn't had enough of the extreme cultivation method!
How can there be limestone in this basalt? It is important to know that the origin of the two rocks is completely different, basalt is formed by the cooling and solidification of magma, but limestone is mainly formed in a shallow marine environment, and is generally formed by the accumulation of shellfish marine skeletons.

Zhu Yan carefully searched for the information about Changbai Mountain in his memory, and soon found the answer. This Changbai Mountain was an ocean in ancient times, because of geological movements, it gradually uplifted, and cliffs were formed in some places. From this geological analysis, Changbai Mountain should belong to the karst landform, and the main composition of the rock is limestone, which can also form karst caves.
However, Changbai Mountain has had several large-scale volcanic eruptions in its history, and the fiery magma erupted and covered the surface of the limestone, which cooled down to form an outer layer of basalt. Therefore, it often happens that the surface is basalt and the inner layer is limestone, the difference is only the thickness of the basalt.
And this time, where Zhu Yan quarried the stone, it happened that the thickness of the basalt was not large, and the limestone was exposed after only a few meters. Now, they can use the limestone to calcine quicklime.
Zhu Yan asked Chen Lan to go to see how Mr. Chen's foundation was doing, and by the way, he also called some people to come over and move stones together. He himself continued his extreme Dafa, opening and closing his sword qi vertically and horizontally, digging out the limestone piece by piece.
After a while, Chen Lan came over with Teacher Chen's wife and Jingjing, and it happened that Zhu Yan was also meditating and cultivating. At this time, nearly a hundred pieces of limestone had been taken out, which was more than enough to burn lime.
Teacher Chen and the others were dumbfounded when they saw that there were suddenly so many square stones on the hillside. Although he knew some of Zhu Yan's abilities, he didn't expect him to be like this.
But what happened next made everyone so frightened that they almost fell. When everyone carried the stones and hurried back with difficulty, they saw a big stone and flew up and followed everyone.
What the hell is this! Everyone stopped, opened their mouths and couldn't speak, only Zhu Yan was calm. Obviously, this must be Zhu Yan's magic skill again!
What kind of magic is this? Could it be the legendary immortal art? Only the legendary immortals can drive things into slavery and scatter beans into soldiers.
The eyes of all the people looking at Zhu Yan have completely changed, if they used to respect him and be close to him, then now they have to look up to him, like looking up to a fairy.
Seeing everyone's strange eyes, Zhu Yan didn't expect to become like this, he didn't want to be offered by others like a god. This time, he was just addicted to that extreme cultivation, and he unknowingly used the magic skill of aura expelling things.
It was also at this moment that he understood what the realm of immortals was. The legendary fairy country, the fields are self-ploughing, the land is hoeing, and being a puppet to do housework is really true! He also remembered the legend of the ancient civilization of Atlantis in a book, saying that there were many wise men who had cultivated to the highest level, and they also used dead things to create life instead of their own labor. Could it be that Atlantis Island is the legendary Penglai Immortal Island?
In order to dispel everyone's mystery, Zhu Yan patiently explained the principle and asked Chen Lan to use the same method to make a small stone fly.
Only then did everyone turn their surprise into joy, and their expressions became normal. Since Chen Lan can do it, then they themselves will definitely be able to do it, even if they can't do it now, as long as they work hard to cultivate, they will definitely be able to do it in the future. Between this immortal and the quasi-immortal, of course, there is no need to worship!
After seeing that everyone was not surprised, Zhu Yan began to practice this immortal technique with all his heart. There is no difficulty in making a stone fly, as long as there are enough spirit elements. So, at first, he practiced speed and control, so that the stones could fly fast and slowly, and he could also turn and land in the air at will. The more he practiced, the more energetic he became, and the more he practiced, the more excited he became, no wonder Sun Dasheng in Journey to the West learned spells, and he couldn't help but show off.
When the vitality was exhausted, Zhu Yan practiced the extreme cultivation method again, and after the vitality was restored, he continued to let the stones fly. I only saw that everyone's hearts were itching, and I couldn't help myself to cultivate it immediately, and I could also go to have a good time.
It took everyone more than three hours to carry the stones, and one-third of them were moved by Zhu Yan using that immortal technique. By the time all the stones had been moved, it was already dark, and the other two groups probably had to go back to the cave, so they decided to call it a day first.
When I returned to the cave, I saw that the others had returned, some of them were already preparing dinner, and some were about to go to them!
Everyone gained a lot from this afternoon's work. Zhang Zhongzhong Medicine and the others have already prepared several plots of land, although they can't divert water for irrigation, but there is no problem at all in planting some dry vegetables or something. Moreover, they sawed down dozens of birch trees, which are very strong and are good materials for building houses.
The senior brother and reporter Zhou picked up hundreds of catties of carbonized wood, and their firewood was no problem in the past few weeks. When they heard that they were going to burn lime, they said they would pick up some more tomorrow, and there were plenty of them anyway. Moreover, on the way back, they also picked up a lot of wild mushrooms, including lion's mane mushroom, pine mushroom, elm mushroom, ice mushroom and so on, among which the pine mushroom and the elm mushroom are the famous and high-quality specialties of Changbai Mountain, the price in the market is very expensive, very nutritious.
Zhu Yan sensed it with his heavenly eyes, and these wild mushrooms really had spiritual qualities, especially the pinemouth mushrooms and elm mushrooms. This Changbai Mountain is really a good place, how can it be a mortal product in the world?
Zhu Yan couldn't help but have an idea, if a few medicine gardens and mushroom farms were built here, would it be possible to cultivate a large number of precious medicinal materials? If this is the case, then I don't know how much benefit it will be for everyone's practice.
At this time, Zhu Yan has changed a little from his previous thoughts. Everything in nature grows and has its own laws, and practitioners only need to respect their laws and do not have to deliberately do good.
For example, if you pick a wild mushroom from the ground, it may be said that it is life-threatening, but in fact if you don't pick it, it will also die quickly. Then, as long as it does not damage its underground mycelium when harvesting, so that its offspring can reproduce, this is considered to be respectful of life.
The same is true for medicinal herbs, you can't pick a single essence, you must leave enough seeds for them so that they can reproduce. You don't have to let them grow too much, or the limited resources could kill them all. Zhu Yan didn't know if this biological principle was also applicable to cultivators.
And when Mr. Chen said that the foundation of the house had been built and the stones were ready, everyone showed a look of surprise. It is better to say that mining the stone used to build the house is not an easy task, unless it is to pick up some broken rock and rubble.
Teacher Chen didn't say much, only said that the stone was picked by Zhu Yan and Chen Lan with a special method. Then, he pointed to the dozen or so pieces of limestone he brought back, saying that those stones are all like this, and everyone doesn't have to worry about the stones not being usable.
As for this particular method, and what it is, he is not clear. Everyone asked Zhu Yan, and Zhu Yan just smiled and said nothing.
The first day after entering the valley passed like this. Tomorrow, after they have built their houses, they will be able to practice and live a normal farming life. Everyone is very satisfied with everything here.
