Chapter 23: Spirit Stones

Shen Yushan finally decided to practice and behead the three corpses, if nothing else, he rushed to Yang Zui's two sentences: As long as you get through, you will be the next Confucian saint Taoist; If we can withstand the three disasters, only God knows how high our achievements will be in the future.

"Then Master, when are we going to start?"

"Start what?"

“…… Uh, it's starting to enter the realm of passage, isn't it to open the spiritual aperture? When Master asked me to choose the exercises so quickly, wasn't he going to let the apprentice open the spiritual aperture as soon as possible and impact the secret realm? ”

Yang Zui blinked, didn't hold back for a moment, and laughed out loud.

"Uh...... Disciple, Master doesn't want to discourage you, but you are...... Thinking a little bit more. If you want to open the spiritual aperture, you must have enough spiritual yuan reserves, and you are only in the stage of the opening of the light realm at this time, which is the stage of precipitation of spiritual elements. ”

Shen Yushan was stunned and said: "But as far as the apprentice knows, the Enlightenment Realm is the first initial stage of cultivation, just like climbing a mountain, it is the best to climb at the beginning, and it will become more and more difficult in the future." ”

"That's true, but it's not an overnight thing to take the spirit of heaven and earth into your body. Of course, there is also a way to speed up, that is, there are enough spirit stones, but in vain, do you have spirit stones? ”

Shen Yushan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said, "Please wait for a while, Master, and the apprentice will go back when he goes." ”

At this moment, Yang was drunk, and the only one eye was wide open, and he almost rolled down without bones.

Shen Yushan soon returned, carrying a burden in his hand.

When I opened it, inside the small lacquered wooden box, the spirit stones were lying full.

Yang Zui looked at his cheap apprentice again, and said with surprise and joy: "Apprentice, isn't your family just a casual cultivator, when will the casual cultivation family be so generous?" ”

Shen Yushan was stunned for a moment, and asked stupidly, "Are these spirit stones very valuable?" ”

Yang Zui fainted completely, dare to love This apprentice himself doesn't know how valuable these spirit stones are, how long have I been locked up, and now the spirit stones in the outside world are so rich?

……

……

After a period of explanation, Shen Yushan finally learned from Yang Zui that this spirit stone, which seemed to be just a lacquered wooden box, was so valuable that it was almost equivalent to the income of the spirit stone in the entire bridge town for nearly ten years.

"No, I have to pay it back to my husband."

Shen Yushan repacked it, it didn't matter if he didn't know, but since he knew, he shouldn't take advantage of Mr. Qiao Ru, this is probably the biggest wealth passed down by Mr. Qiao Ru's ancestors, and he must not accept it.

"Wait!" Yang Zui immediately stopped it, he must not let this fool be stupid, and persuaded him: "Think about it carefully, since your gentleman gave you something, if he returns it, what should he think?" I think you should make good use of it instead of returning it, and your husband hopes that you can greatly increase the morale of scholars, so you can cultivate well, and wait until the future to see that negative woman again and humiliate her fiercely. ”

Shen Yushan smiled bitterly and shook his head, finally giving up the idea of returning the spirit stone. The gentleman treats him with sincerity, and he cannot turn away his enthusiasm, otherwise it will hurt people too much.

Yang Zui sighed and praised: "You kid, you are really lucky, it makes me envious, so you can't be the illegitimate son of God, right?" Hahahaha, it's okay, with these spirit stones, you don't need to leave in a hurry for a short time, you can take it slow for the time being. ”

Shen Yushan frowned, caught a special word, and asked, "Leave?" ”

"You forgot the conversation you had with you on the reed-anchored boat before, and I said that I was going to let you have the power to protect yourself initially, and leave this poor country as soon as possible."

"You asked me why, I didn't have time to answer you at the time, but now I can answer you, the reason is very simple, it's because of the spirit stone. Your Xiyu Country, plus the neighboring East Pole Country, the combined population of the two countries is less than one million, and the spirit stones must be insufficient, so you must go to the prosperous country as soon as possible. ”

Shen Yushan was puzzled: "The number of spirit stones is still related to the number of people?" ”

Yang Zui nodded and said, "This is nature." Do you know where the spirit stone came from? ”

Shen Yushan shook his head, but suddenly he was blessed with a heart, and blurted out: "It shouldn't have anything to do with the legendary immortal vein, right?" ”

Yang Zui replied: "You are really a little smart, that's right, the spirit yuan in the world comes from the immortal vein, and the spirit stone is the essence of the spirit element, and it comes from the immortal vein." It's just that this spirit stone is not buried in the ground, nor does it fall from the sky, but is born from a person. ”

"Born of people?"

Shen Yushan was stunned for a moment.

Spirit stones are something that is valued by immortal cultivators, just as the Gu Immortal Sword Sect included Qiaozhen under its jurisdiction, so that Qiaozhen could pay the spirit stones regularly and quantitatively, because this spirit stone was originally the currency for buying and selling between the people.

However, compared to ordinary silver coins, spirit stones are much more valuable, unless they are large transactions, they are generally rarely used. Shen Yushan had seen the spirit stone many times, but if he thought about it carefully, he actually didn't know where the spirit stone came from.

Yang Zui continued: "Spirit stones are scattered all over the world, and they may exist everywhere, generally speaking, the more prosperous the population, the more abundant the spirit yuan, and the higher the probability of the birth of spirit stones. Over time, the spirit yuan was slumped on some strange stones and turned into spirit stones. ”

Shen Yushan was dumbfounded: "That's how the spirit stone came from? ”

Yang Zui was amused by Shen Yushan's expression, and said with a smile: "There is a great uncertainty in the production of spirit stones, according to the mellowness of the spirit yuan, it is divided into upper, middle and lower three levels, and the one in your hand is the lower grade spirit stone." ”

"It is precisely because the spirit stone is born because of people that the Immortal Cultivation Sect will bring the mortal market town into its jurisdiction. But there are a number of mortals in the entire world, so the immortal families are also competing fiercely with each other. ”

"It is impossible for monks to climb mountains and mountains to find spirit stones, but to drive mortals. It is useless for mortals to take spirit stones, but the value of spirit stones is extremely recognized by the immortal family, even if they are taken to the demons and monsters, it still works. In real terms, the value of spirit stones is much stronger than silver and yellow gold, so it has naturally become a high-grade currency for transactions between mortals. ”

In the end, Yang Zui concluded: "The monks put the mortal market town under their jurisdiction, and collected the spirit stones from the mortals as if they were collecting taxes, which is why I told you to go to the prosperous place, because in the prosperous place, the more the population, the more prosperous the trade, and the more spirit stones will circulate." Even to some extent, the more spirit stones, the stronger the Immortal Cultivation Sect here may be. ”

"Spirit stones are born naturally, they are born all the time, but the monks cultivate and consume spirit stones all the time, and in general, spirit stones are insufficient after all. Monks can naturally snatch spirit stones from mortals, but if they rob them once, it is impossible for mortals to search for spirit stones painstakingly, and there will be no spirit stones to grab next time, which is the most unwise deal. ”

On the contrary, the monks protect mortals, and mortals regularly pay a fixed amount of spirit stones, so that the spirit stones can be continuously supplied. This is also the reason why the Gu Immortal Sword Sect is so keen to take Qiao Zhen away from the jurisdiction of Shangqing Temple. ”

Shen Yushan seemed to reinterpret the world, and said in a daze: "The so-called stone land, it turns out to be so ......"
