Chapter 217: The sky is three feet high
"Spirit stone, you say this is a spirit stone?" the fat man was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
Qin Tian was also taken aback, this spirit stone was a good thing! this was a good thing that could improve cultivation, if there was anything in the Tianyun Continent that was their favorite, then there was no doubt that it must be a spirit stone.
This is the hard currency of the Tianyun Continent, it can not only be used to cultivate and improve cultivation, but also can be used to make talismans, refine qi, and lay out formations, in short, there are many benefits, almost all cultivators need it.
Such a treasure is several times better than the magic weapon and elixir that they can't use now. Therefore, when the fat man Yan Qiu heard that the dodecahedron spar in his hand was the famous spirit stone, he immediately covered his hands, looking like he was afraid that others would come to grab it.
"Is this really a spirit stone?" Qin Tian was still a little unsure, if this was really a spirit stone, it would also be an extremely useful thing for him.
His current cultivation is really too low, although he has accelerated the speed of cultivation, but so far, he is only a second-level Qi refining cultivation, which has little effect on the difficulties they are facing.
Fat Yan Qiu, Li Ze, and Liu Hai, their original cultivation had three layers of qi refining, and their qualifications were all good, coupled with their hard work and cultivation some time ago, their current cultivation is only four layers of qi refining.
For others, they may be moving very fast, but for them, it is not enough.
In the past, there was no good way, they could only get closer to meditate step by step to accumulate the spiritual power needed to advance, but if there were spirit stones, then the situation would be completely different. They can completely absorb the aura in the spirit stone to quickly improve their cultivation, and as long as this kind of improvement is well controlled, there are almost no side effects.
The spirit stone is a natural crystalline body of spiritual energy, and the spiritual power inside it is very pure, and it is attributeless, so almost all monks can improve their strength through it.
From the records of the inheritance of jade slips, it can be known that many large sects in the Tianyun Continent will supply a certain amount of spiritual power to their disciples every month for cultivation, which is very effective for quickly improving the strength of disciples, especially the strength of low-level disciples.
However, now many sects are reluctant to use this method to train disciples. On the one hand, it was because it was more efficient and targeted to improve one's cultivation through auxiliary formations and pills, and on the other hand, the spirit stone resources in the Tianyun Continent had gradually been depleted, and even large sects did not have so many spirit stones to supply to low-level disciples. Only middle- and high-level sectarians will have some monthly income for their continued cultivation.
From Ram Hong, Qin Tian also learned that the use of spirit stones for low-level disciples to improve their cultivation has been regarded as a waste by the various sects of Tianyun. So much so that among the low-level disciples, few of them had spirit stones in their hands, and even Ram Hong himself did not have ready-made spirit stones in his hands. The spirit stones he had obtained before were either spent on his granddaughter, Ram Jade, or exchanged them for much-needed things with other monks.
Huan'er nodded and said surely: "Of course this is a spirit stone, I have used it many times in the array, how can I admit that I am wrong? This is not only a genuine spirit stone, but also a medium-grade spirit stone." Hmph! That's cheap, you fat man!"
"Hehe, this is my luck, you can't accept it!" The fat man Yan Qiu looked proud, and he gently rubbed the milky white crystal in his hand, revealing an intoxicated expression.
"Hmph! who is rare!" Huan'er muttered insincerely, and turned his head away from looking at the fat man, lest he couldn't help kicking the fat man away and snatching the spirit stone over.
"Boss, let's take a look too!" Li Xian ran forward with an envious look on his face and begged Yan Qiu.
"Yes, Boss Yan, let us take a look too?" Tie Zhu also stepped forward and pleaded with the fat man.
The fat man Yan Qiu gently touched the spirit stone, and then handed the spirit stone to Tie Zhu and nodded and said: "Let everyone see and know, don't see it in the future, don't know it, lose my face!"
"Okay!" Tie Zhu was overjoyed, and as soon as he took the spirit stone, he carefully examined it. Li Xian and the others gathered around one by one, you take a look at me, and then they chatted excitedly.
The fat man Yan Qiu took out the black token again, and he looked at the scattered highlights on the token, and his eyes were full of the shadows of spirit stones.
Qin Tian glanced at everyone who was excited, and then asked Huan'er, "What is the difference between this mid-grade spirit stone and the low-grade spirit stone?"
Although Qin Tian also knew from the inheritance jade slip, generally a medium-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for a hundred lower-grade spirit stones, while a high-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for a hundred medium-grade spirit stones. But after all, so much time has passed, and he doesn't know if the Tianyun Continent has changed, so he wants to learn a little more useful information from Huan'er's mouth.
Huan'er glanced at Qin Tian, then looked at the glass in Qin Tian's arms, and sighed and said, "The middle-grade spirit stone is a spirit stone that is purer than the lower-grade spirit stone, and the amount of spiritual energy is also more intense. Generally speaking, a medium-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for a hundred lower-grade spirit stones. But in reality, no one will really be so stupid to exchange a medium-grade spirit stone for a low-grade spirit stone with you according to this ratio. ”
"Oh, why is that?"
"Because the role of the middle-grade spirit stone is greater than that of the low-grade spirit stone, some of its functions cannot be replaced by the lower-grade spiritual energy. Not only can it be used for cultivation, but it is also the main energy source needed for various large and medium-sized formations, as well as the main energy required for refining various spiritual weapons and magic weapons. Therefore, its demand is very huge, but its production is much less than that of the lower grade spirit stone, which has caused a situation where it is in short supply. Therefore, in real transactions, it generally takes one hundred and twenty lower-grade spirit stones to exchange for a medium-grade spiritual power. ”
"Oh, I see! From this, it can be seen that the exchange ratio of high-grade spirit stones to medium-grade spiritual power must be much higher, right?" Qin Tian suddenly realized that the situation that Huan'er said did have its reasonableness.
"Hmph, you just want to be beautiful! High-grade spirit stones, you can't exchange them at all. Huan'er sneered disdainfully.
"Why?" Qin Tian was a little puzzled.
Huan'er replied with a sneer: "High-grade spirit stones, those are strategic materials, no one would be stupid enough to exchange them for medium-grade spirit stones with others." ”
At this point, Huan'er paused, and then continued: "Let's put it this way! The top-grade spirit stone is the central energy source of the super-large formation, and it is also the main central energy source of the large warship, and it can be used repeatedly. As long as the spirit stone that has been depleted of spiritual power is stored in the spirit stone vein, it will slowly recover. Do you think someone would exchange such a treasure for a medium-grade spirit stone?"
"You mean, the top-grade spirit stone can be used repeatedly?" the fat man Yan Qiu exclaimed loudly.
"Of course, and its spiritual power is extremely pure, if it is used for cultivation, then its effect is very significant, I heard that some high-level cultivators often use it to assist when they break through the realm. Therefore, almost every high-level monk will try their best to collect high-grade spirit stones to help improve their cultivation, which on the other hand has led to an extreme shortage of high-grade spirit stones on the market. ”
"Ah, then if we can have a high-grade spirit stone for cultivation, wouldn't it be like flying?" The fat man Yan Qiu almost drooled when he thought of this.
"You think it's beautiful! You still want to use it for cultivation, do you think you are a high-level monk above the Yuanying True Monarch?" Huan'er glanced at the fat man with disdain, and lashed out at his daydreams inhumanely.
"Hmph, think about it and don't break the law!, what are you afraid of?" the fat man Yan Qiu didn't pay attention to Huan'er's disdain, he picked up the token in his hand and shouted, "Listen to the members of the treasure hunting team, let's turn this 'Broken Wasteland' upside down." Our slogan is: We must not let go of any spirit stone!
"I heard you!"
"Never let go of a spirit stone!"
"Let's go!"
The fat man and the crowd were excited, and they screamed one by one, rushing in the direction of the next bright spot.
Qin Tian looked behind them and shook his head, Liuli looked at the fat man with a little worry, and then asked Qin Tian softly, "They will be okay like this, right?"
Qin Tian smiled and said, "Don't worry! Fat Yan Qiu is a measured person!"
"Oh! okay then!" Liuli obediently leaned her head on Qin Tian's shoulder and said no more.
So a vigorous treasure hunt officially began, and every place with bright spots, fat people will not let go. Even in the face of the almost airtight space crack network, they would find Qin Tian to lead the way, find a way as much as possible, and swear not to give up without digging up the spirit stone.
Once, the location of a spirit stone was so tricky that there was no road around it that could accommodate people to pass through. This can stump the fat man, but in the face of the temptation of the spirit stone, they refuse to give up.
In the end, the fat man came up with a solution, and they stayed in this place for three days, and forcibly dug out the spirit stone with a long pole and a claw hook that was temporarily tied.
Seeing the fat man's behavior so desperately, even Liuli, who has never felt much about this kind of thing, was dumbfounded.
Qin Tian shook his head again and again when he looked at it, he looked down and saw Liuli's dumbfounded cute appearance, and couldn't help but want to tease her: "Liuli, can I tell you a joke?"
"What's the joke?" asked Ruri looking up suspiciously.
"It is said that once upon a time there was an official who was appointed by the emperor to be a lord in a place. When he was about to return to the imperial city at the end of his three-year term, the locals presented him with a plaque with four large characters written on it: 'The sky is three feet high'. The official was very happy to see it, thinking that the locals were praising him, but he never expected that when he returned to the imperial city, he was ordered by the emperor to be taken down and imprisoned. Do you know why?"
Liuli tilted her head and thought for a while, but she didn't come up with a reason, she asked suspiciously: "The plaque given to him by the local people, isn't it the meaning of praising him?"
Qin Tian smiled knowingly, touched her little head and said, "My Liuli is so smart, the problem is precisely on that plaque." The so-called 'three feet high' is not that the locals praise him for being an honest official, but that he is too good at collecting the people's fat and people's ointment. The local land has been scraped three feet lower by him, so on this day, it will be three feet higher!"
"Hehe! This is really interesting! What happened then?" Ruri laughed.
"What else? Click, there will be no follow-up!" Qin Tian looked at the smiling glass like a flower, and then said: "Look at the fat man Yan Qiu's gang, it doesn't look like that official, this place is about to be scraped three feet down by them!"
"Hee-hee, you're dead!" Liuli was amused even more by Qin Tian.
