Volume 4: The Eventful Years Chapter 202: Turning Stones into Gold [II]

Yan Feng glanced at Baoyu and Yan Gang with some dissatisfaction, and pointed out that it should be his business to guide his fellow disciples, and he didn't seem to be very happy that Baoyu could meddle in things like this. At this time, everyone let out another exclamation, because the deep hole carved out of the rock wall had revealed the stone shell of the Wufu Stone.

Miss Xiao Sa asked in surprise and joy, "Mr. Xiaolu, this stone shell is very large, and there is no way to take it out." ”

Baoyu returned the sword embryo in his hand to Hanxiong and said, "You don't need to take out the stone shell, just knock it open and take out the martial arts stone in it." ”

The little sprinkler girl was already tired, but at this moment she saw the stone shell and lifted her spirits. The hole had penetrated more than six feet into the stone wall, and she cast another spell to crack open a thicker and harder stone shell, and finally took out a dazzling martial arts stone. This Wufu stone is the size of a swan egg, the color is light and transparent like glass, and it is the purest quality.

Wufu stone is not only a kind of natural treasure that can be refined alone, if the refining technique is more sophisticated, it can also be integrated into other materials, sacrificing magical powers with more and stronger magic weapons, but what is needed is this purest martial arts stone.

This piece of martial arts stone is quite precious and rare, if it is sold in the city of red trees, its value will not be less than the magic weapon long sword that I saw in the shop yesterday! In fact, this kind of quality of heaven and earth treasure is rarely sold openly in the shop, and it is usually exchanged or traded within the circle of monks, and some people want it.

The little sprinkler girl was close to running out of energy, but she was extremely happy, holding the beautiful stone in her hand and rubbing it, and she loved it very much. The young girl's family already likes this kind of pure and beautiful thing, not to mention that it is a precious and rare treasure. After playing for a long time, Miss Xiao Sa suddenly realized something, and said to Baoyu with some embarrassment: "Mr. Xiaolu, this martial arts stone was found by you, and it shouldn't be my own, how should we divide it?"

Baoyu looked at her and said with a smile: "I just pointed to a place, and I can't be sure in advance if there is one." From beginning to end, you dig it with your own hands until you find it and take it out, and of course it's yours. If I want to take it myself, why bother you?"

Miss Xiao Sa thanked again and again, and was embarrassed to put away this martial arts stone. Someone else asked, "Mr. Xiaolu, have you found that there are other places that also contain Wufu Stone, and you can point us to it?"

Baoyu smiled bitterly: "I have been around this area for most of the day, and I have found nothing else. At the beginning, there must have been some people whose cultivation was far superior to mine, and the beautiful stones that could be found had already been mined, and this was just an imperceptible omission. I happened to find a trace of intermittent traces of mineral veins, and I'm not sure if there is a martial arts stone in it, this is the luck of the little sprinkler girl!"

There are still people begging Baoyu to say: "You can take a look again, in case you can find something, just give us some pointers." ”

Baoyu still smiled bitterly: "I didn't come to look for Wufu Meishi, it just happened to be discovered, so I pointed it out to Miss Xiaosa." This is something that cannot be desired, so how can it be forced on others?"

Han Xiong also said loudly: "Mr. Xiao Lu doesn't owe you such a precious martial arts stone! If he has the heart to look for it, won't he take it himself? If he wants to seek creation, he will seek it himself, don't force Mr. Xiao Lu to do it." ”

Everyone didn't say much at this time, but they still inevitably muttered a little in their hearts - Hanxiong himself had a great creation, so he would say such cheap words and deliberately curry favor with Mr. Xiaolu!

But he was right, Mr. Koji wasn't sure at first that there was really a Takefu Mishi here. Xiao Sa, as a master of the four realms and eight turns, held the master's magic weapon, and was almost exhausted from exhaustion, so he mined the beautiful stone. If Mr. Xiaolu really pointed to another place casually, saying that there may or may not be, others may not have the ability to pick it up, and maybe he will not get anything when he is tired.

And Yan Feng still held the shelf of the master and muttered: "With my cultivation, my divine sense can't penetrate such a thick rock layer. I think Mr. Xiaolu should be good at observing the direction of the earth's leylines, and perhaps he has also cultivated a special induction secret method, and the Pushi sword embryo must have a special spiritual use, which can help people sense the physical aura of the martial arts stone. ”

Baoyu nodded and said, "You're right, my divine sense can't penetrate such a thick rock layer yet, it's mainly a matter of luck." There are a combination of those reasons just now. ”

Baoyu did not deny Yanfeng's judgment, and Yanfeng bowed slightly, revealing a profound expression of "as I expected". It's not good for others to ask any more questions, because these involve specific supernatural secret methods, and they are often taught to disciples by the master. But everyone also realized that the sword embryo was of great help in finding the Wufu Stone, and it would be nice if it could be borrowed and used, but this kind of request could not be spoken

Baoyu just said to borrow, and Hanxiong borrowed it, but others are different. Who can easily lend this kind of treasure that can recognize the Lord but has not yet recognized the Lord to others, let alone use its object to exert a special kind of inductive magical power. Others don't know this kind of magical secret method, if you try to cast a spell indiscriminately, even if you don't mean it, what if you accidentally admit it?

......

Yanfeng was right, Baoyu was really not sure that there was a martial artist in the place beforehand, he just followed the direction of the mountain and the leylines, sensed some kind of intermittent traces, and told Xiao San. Using Hanxiong's sword embryo as a guide, he determined the exact location of the ore vein after it was interrupted, and asked Xiao Sa to try to chisel it.

After digging a few feet deep, Baoyu's divine sense was able to penetrate the rock layer and sense the Wufu stone shell, and once again, using the sword embryo as a guide, it was determined that there was the breath of Wufu Mei Stone in the stone shell. What kind of secret magic is this? Baoyu couldn't tell, because no one had taught him, and he had comprehended it himself.

I think that when he was near Huahai Village, he used a stone egg as a guide to stimulate its physical properties to sense the surrounding mountains and fields, walked up the deep mountains along the stream, and spent more than a month to find another eighty heavenly and earthly treasures with exactly the same physical properties. And the sword embryo is the origin of the Wufu stone before its birth, and with this secret method, you can also sense the direction of the veins of the Wufu stone and whether there are any reserves.

......

After tossing this afternoon, seeing that the sky was approaching dusk, the main purpose of everyone entering the mountain was to find out what the old man who sold swords said. Now that the place has been found, but no more stones have been found, although the little sprinkler girl accidentally got a martial arts stone, but it is not easy for everyone to find it.

If they said that they had entered the wilderness and deep mountains to travel and practice, then they were already in it, what should they do next? Everyone no longer asked Yanfeng at this moment, but they all looked at Baoyu. Baoyu said: "Looking for a quiet place to cultivate in the mountains, this is a very good place, I have walked through many mountains and wilderness, and I have never seen it, not to mention that there are ready-made cave meditation rooms."

If you still want to find more opportunities, take heavenly treasures or all kinds of special elixirs, you can try them in the vicinity. But be careful not to go too far, go too deep in the ravine, if you don't cultivate enough, you may be in danger. Be careful not to climb too high, as snow-covered peaks can be dangerous, as not only the snow will fall, but the brittle rock formations may also collapse suddenly. ”

Miss Xiao Sa also said: "I am really tired today, and I need to sit and rest for a few days to recuperate and regain my spirit." It's a great place, and thanks to Mr. Koji. I want to retreat in this cave for a period of time, refining my Dharma Weapon Empty Mulberry Tree to the ninth leaf, so as to complete the master's order as soon as possible. ”

After some discussion, it was decided that this mountain wall would be used as a temporary station, where each person could seek to cultivate in a quiet room, and on weekdays, he could look for various opportunities in the nearby mountains. However, it is necessary to be careful not to go too far, and if something unexpected happens, a warning signal will be sent in time, and everyone can respond to each other and support each other.

At the same time, everyone agreed to stay here for ten days, and after ten days, they would continue to travel together, without having to go back to Hongjin City, and go east through the wilderness directly to the bottom of Wufu Hill, which was more than enough time.

As for who will lead the way, of course, it will be Mr. Koji. The name can't be called in vain, so it's up to him to find the mountain trail - it's a joke, of course. In fact, because Baoyu is good at observing the direction of the earth's leylines, he is better at finding the way in the mountains. After just two days and two nights of contact, everyone saw what happened with their own eyes, and Baoyu has completely convinced everyone and has become a real leader for everyone.

Baoyu didn't mean to do this, let alone bring anything high-level, but his insight was extraordinary, and he could always point out those opportunities that were right in front of him but could not be seen by others. What's even more rare is that all his performances are so natural, and there is nothing unusual about his words and deeds.

For example, what happened in the Red Jincheng Bazaar, when he saw an artifact, he couldn't afford it or didn't need it, and it was normal for him to not buy it. But the sword embryo is a special treasure that no one knows, and the price that the old man who sells mountain goods asks for is very expensive at first glance, but in fact its value far exceeds the old man's asking price.

If another person saw such a treasure, he would probably buy it quietly, and if he had no money, he would try to get it or borrow money. Even if he couldn't buy it for the time being, he wouldn't tell others, especially the old man who sold the sword, what it was, and maybe he would talk privately and ask the old man where he had mined the stone, and then quietly run into the mountains to find it.

Needless to say, many people in the world would probably choose this way, and there is nothing wrong with doing so. If you miss this kind of good thing, many people will regret it in their hearts, and they can't go back in time and let God give him the opportunity to do it again!

But Baoyu was different, he didn't buy it because he didn't think he needed it, and he didn't use the old man's words after three days of effort, but he just studied what the sword embryo was. When he saw that Hanxiong wanted to buy a sword that suited him, Baoyu remembered this item and directed him to buy a sword embryo.

Not only did he buy something, but he also told the people present - what was the beauty of the sword embryo, even the old man who sold the sword heard it. If it were an ordinary artifact, it would be completely normal for Baoyu to do this, but in the face of such a treasure, it would be extraordinary for him to still do it so naturally!

This seems to be a natural word and deed, but if it were a different person, it would be possible? I'm afraid it's difficult, it's difficult, it seems to be a little bit worse than Baoyu. But just a little bit, it's a world of difference.

As for the next day, Baoyu guided the girl to pick a martial arts stone, and everyone was not too surprised by this, but they were very envious of Xiao Sa and admired and expected Baoyu. His demeanor is very kind of walking in the world and guiding the world.

And only the legendary master would do such a thing. But Baoyu is the boy around everyone, and he doesn't show any supernatural powers that exceed the cultivation of the Four Realms. But if one day, someone says that he is a master of the world who walks the world, people may not find it unbelievable.

Hanxiong admired Baoyu so much that he even said that the biggest gain of this trip was to make friends like Mr. Xiaolu, and the person he was most convinced of in this world was his father first, followed by Mr. Xiaolu!

Hanxiong's praise is somewhat flattering, but it is also completely sincere. But he didn't know much about Baoyu, Baoyu did these things without intention, he felt that it was normal and natural, and there was no difference in his mood when he instructed Hanxiong to buy the sword embryo and instructed him to buy other things in the bazaar.

The first memory of Baoyu's life is that the mountain master lit a lamp in the stone house. In that way, hemp oil, pottery dishes, and grass stalks were used, and something called a "lamp" appeared in the world. Later, he learned that if he cut down a big tree and erected it at both ends of the cliff, something called a "bridge" would appear in the world.

The way in which lamps and bridges appeared has existed in the world since ancient times, but people need to discover and understand their mysteries in order to have the lights and paths.

Later, when he embarked on the path of cultivation, no one taught him the secret method, it was a kind of self-realization, just like those goblins in the mountains and wilderness who felt that they had become spirits, but by chance or differently. For him, the path to heaven has been there since ancient times, and it is the original road of transcendence, waiting for people to explore and confirm. In his mind, the cultivation of the layers of realms is called cultivation.

After he left the wilderness, the person he had the longest contact with and the highest cultivation he encountered was Mr. Cangjie. He also witnessed Cangjie's ambition to leave words to be passed on to the world. This is not only a kind of inheritance, but also teaches the world to master the way of civilization inheritance, such as lighting lamps and building bridges one after another.

Therefore, for Baoyu, telling Hanxiong where to buy the most suitable sword, what kind of thing that sword embryo is, and how to sacrifice it, is just telling him how to light a lamp with hemp oil, pottery saucers, and grass stems.

It seems that Baoyu himself didn't get anything, Hanxiong bought the sword embryo and Xiao Sprinkle took the beautiful stone, but he knew that the occurrence of these things was the big harvest he was looking for.

He saw the Takefu Stone and the stone shell that he had never seen before in the market, and he learned that there was such a thing as the Takefu Stone in the world, and he had such characteristics, and he realized it. He also knew what the jasper short sword that Bai Xiying's family had collected was made of, and what material was the sword of the Great General of the Northern Dao Clan made of?

When he came here and saw the relics of the veins where the predecessors mined Wufu stone, Baoyu remembered that it was Cangjie who said, "Everything in heaven and earth has its texture." The meaning of this simple sentence is too profound, and Baoyu has been constantly perceiving along the way, and there are constantly new gains and discoveries.

In the days of following Cangjie's predecessors, Cangjie used to explain the texture of everything in heaven and earth in various ways, and simulated it with runes and demonstrative with divine thoughts, including the direction of mountains, rivers and leylines. Cangjie was teaching Hougang, but he didn't avoid Baoyu, and he seemed to be explaining to everyone in the world.

Baoyu found that there were continuous traces after the interruption of the veins today, so he instructed Xiao Sprinkler to excavate, and sure enough, he mined the Wufu Mei Stone. This is a big harvest for him that is far more difficult to find than getting the martial arts stone!

In the next few days, Baoyu walked along the mineral veins in the mountains, the heavens, the earth, the mountains and rivers seemed to change the angle and scenery around him, and he let go of the Yuan Shen's eyes as if he was not closed, and he felt the various textures and veins between heaven and earth. As for where there will be the stones, and whether there are still Wufu stones, it is not a matter of special concern to Baoyu, because those are only part of the texture of the leylines.

In the first few days, there were always people quietly following Baoyu not far behind, more or less trying to pick a bargain. If this Mr. Xiaolu finds something again, he will point them out, and it will be a big chance to get it wrong. However, they gradually discovered that Baoyu was not looking for anything, but was just wandering between heaven and earth in a state of distraction, and the unfolding Yuan Shen sense was often disturbed by everyone.

Later, Baoyu advised everyone not to follow him anymore, what should they do, and it is better to seek opportunities or go to retreat and practice with this kung fu. Hanxiong also stood up to persuade those people not to disturb Mr. Xiaolu's cultivation, he actually wanted to accompany Baoyu on a trip in the mountains, but since Baoyu said something like that, he was embarrassed to follow.

When he came back to rest at night, Baoyu suggested that Hanxiong should sacrifice the sword embryo here to make him recognize his master. Hanxiong has already cultivated in three realms and nine transformations, and although he can't refine magic weapons yet, he can build treasure weapons. Find a cave to retreat, even if the sword embryo is first sacrificed into a low-grade treasure, it can also prevent the prying eyes of others.

Hanxiong shook his head with a smile, saying that this thing was too precious and he didn't plan to have it himself. Baoyu asked him why he thought like this, and the young man with big shoulders and round waist blinked his eyes again and said, "Didn't you say that this Pushi is most afraid of following the wrong person, and the greater the role it can play in the hands of those who are higher in cultivation." My father's cultivation is much higher than mine, and I plan to take it back and present it to my father!"

It turned out that Hanxiong wanted to bring the sword embryo back to honor his father, so that this treasure would recognize his father as the master, and Baoyu didn't say anything.

The little sprinkler girl has not appeared in the stone room for the past few days, and she is probably in retreat. Kongsang is a kind of spiritual wood, its physical properties are very special, and its sect refining branches, listening to the name, you know that you are good at a certain way of refining.

The masters of the refining branch peak cultivated the empty mulberry wood in the mountain, and took the branches with the purest physical properties to refine it into a kind of heavenly and earthly treasure. Whenever a disciple breaks through the cultivation of the four realms and can go out of the mountain to walk, he will get two branches.
