"Smell, what did you find?"

An Xiaofu squatted down helplessly.

In one morning, they had walked less than ten kilometers.

The reason for this is that An Wenjian stopped and stopped all the way, constantly collecting some things. Including, but not limited to, roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, and some common stones that can be found everywhere - An Xiaofu thinks so.

But she couldn't say that, so she could only sit silently beside her, watching An Wen see a happy face. With that expression, An Xiaofu thought that he had picked up a certain supreme realm monk inheritance.

"It's just some ordinary wound medicine materials."

An Wenjian skillfully collected and replied casually: "Next, we may have to operate in the field for a period of time, and we will always encounter danger or even injury." Although it can be healed with magic, it will be very passive in case it runs out of spiritual power or cannot use spiritual power. While there's nothing to do right now, make some medicine for emergencies. ”

"Your worries are reasonable, but I feel that none of these herbs have any spiritual power, not even medicinal herbs."

An Xiaofu glanced at the weeds everywhere, and couldn't see the difference at all: "Can you really make wound medicine?" ”

"Absolutely."

An Wen didn't raise his head when he saw it: "Although these seem to be weeds and don't contain much spiritual power, the ingredients themselves are the focus." ”

"The masters in the school taught us to identify common herbs and poisonous weeds in the wild."

An Xiaofu suddenly talked about the school: "A master introduced this grass to us in class. I remember her saying at the time that although this grass has a therapeutic effect, it is very mild and is generally regarded as a weed. ”

"If the effect is very strong, what else do you want to do with alchemy? It is necessary to have this kind of effect, but the effect is not enough, so that the value of alchemy can be maximized. According to the effect of this grass, a pair of medicines is prepared, and then the effective ingredients are extracted by alchemy, and the effect of a pair of medicines is condensed into a small grain, which is the 'pill'. ”

An Wen saw that he was telling the truth: "As you told me before, those introduced by the master of the academy, the pills that directly improve cultivation and assist in cultivation, where is the pill, it is clearly a spirit stone." ”

"The master said that the medicine is three parts poison, and if you eat too much pills, the effect will get worse and worse, and erysipelas will accumulate in the body."

An Xiaofu has a different opinion: "So I think it's better to have a spirit stone, don't worry about the effect getting worse and worse, and there is no problem of erysipelas accumulation." ”

"Who says no?"

An Wenjian suddenly raised his head, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was a little nervous: "Xiaofu, you... You shouldn't have gotten the spirit stone from the master of the academy to cultivate, right? ”

"No, the masters themselves don't have many spirit stones, how can they take them out and give them away."

An Xiaofu shook her head, puzzled by An Wenjian's reaction: "But I heard you ask this, could it be that there is also 'poison' in the spirit stone?" ”

"That depends on your definition of poison."

An Wenjian relaxed: "But let me confirm first, the spirit stone I am talking about is the kind of thing that contains a lot of spiritual energy and has a texture like jade." What kind of spirit stone are you talking about? ”

"Aren't all spirit stones like that?"

An Xiaofu asked rhetorically, and then added: "Master introduced spirit stones, and also showed us samples, only those spirit stones with attribute aura will show different colors. Ordinary spirit stones, the same as what you said. ”

"That's easy to explain."

An Wenjian nodded and said, "The spirit stone contains a large amount of spiritual energy, and it is relatively pure, which can be quickly absorbed and cultivated by the monks, effectively improving the cultivation efficiency of the monks." However, have you ever wondered why spirit stones contain so much aura? ”

"Why else?"

An Xiaofu never thought about this question: "It is because it contains a lot of spiritual energy, and the spirit stone will be called a spirit stone." ”

"Listen carefully, what I'm asking is, why does the spirit stone contain a lot of spiritual energy, not why is the spirit stone called the spirit stone."

An Wenjian: "In other words, do you know how the spirit stone is generated?" ”

"How are spirit stones generated?"

An Xiaofu looked confused, and said what she knew: "Yes... The aura in the spiritual veins has been condensed into spiritual stone veins for many years, and then excavated by the monks. ”

"According to what you say, the spirit stone is a highly condensed aura. Then, when the aura of the spirit stone is depleted, there should be nothing left. ”

An Wenjian followed An Xiaofu's statement and asked, "How is it actually?" ”

"Actually... There will be some powder left. ”

An Xiaofu thought for a while: "But there are also extremely high-quality spirit stones, even if the spiritual energy is exhausted, it can remain the same, and it will slowly absorb the spiritual energy and turn into a spiritual stone again." ”

"But even if it's that kind of high-quality spirit stone, you can't use it all the time, right?"

An Wen hit the nail on the head: "Every time the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone is exhausted, the spiritual energy recovery speed will slow down, the total amount of spiritual energy contained in it will also decrease, and finally it will also turn into powder." ”

An Xiaofu nodded silently.

"So, in addition to aura, the spirit stone has other things."

An Wenjian asked, "What do you think it will be?" ”

"Poison?"

An Xiaofu wasn't sure: "However, I never listened... The master said that there was a monk who was poisoned because he used too many spirit stones to cultivate. Moreover, the monks have been cultivating with spirit stones for many years, if there is really some kind of poison in the spirit stones, why has it not been discovered? ”

"Because there are very few, and there will be no harm to the monk's body."

An Wen said: "Back to the question I asked just now, why do spirit stones contain so much aura. The correct answer is that the spirit stone contains something that causes the aura to 'gather and fix'. ”

"It won't cause any harm to the body, can it still be considered poison?"

An Xiaofu tried hard to understand, but she couldn't keep up with An Wenjian's train of thought: "What's the problem with the substance that can make the aura gather and fix?" ”

"The problem is the way in which the substance gathers and fixes the aura. If it's like the Spirit Gathering Array, or when we cultivate, it naturally doesn't matter. ”

An Wenjian's expression became serious: "However, the way in which the substances in the spirit stone gather and fix the spiritual energy is to reduce the activity of the spiritual energy, become 'lazy', and then accumulate it, and finally form the spirit stone." When the monk absorbs the aura of the spirit stone, he will absorb this substance together and enrich it in the body, causing the inertia of the aura in the body to continue to increase, and the difficulty of breaking the mirror will also increase. ”

After listening, An Xiaofu blinked her eyes, and her face was full of words: I don't know how to feel it.

Seeing that An Xiaofu didn't understand, An Wenjian reluctantly concluded: "To put it simply, the more a monk uses spirit stones to cultivate, the more difficult it is to break through the realm. ”

"That kind of thing, how can it..."

An Xiaofu wanted to say that it was impossible, but when the words came to her mouth, she suddenly froze, and many pictures flashed in her mind.

[Although there is no evidence, I think what I heard is the truth.] 】

[I know, it's just a little hard to accept...... Why haven't any monks noticed this for so many years? 】

[You don't know, and of course I don't know. Maybe it's too easy to cultivate with spirit stones? Isn't there always a monk who has always said this-as long as there are endless spirit stones, even ants can become immortals. 】

"Why didn't you speak all of a sudden?"

An Wenjian said with concern: "Could it be that you lied to me when you said that you didn't use the spirit stone before?" ”

"Nope!"

An Xiaofu raised her head suddenly: "I was just thinking, how do you know so much when I hear it?" ”

"I don't know."

An Wenjian looked calm: "But knowing more is better than knowing nothing." ”

"Yes."

An Xiaofu laughed: "Have you picked the herbs?" ”

"Alright."

An Wenjian shook his sleeves slightly: "Now the stock of medicinal herbs is enough for us to use for a while, and I won't stop so often later." ”

"That's for the best."

"Wait..."

"You're just done!"

"No, there's a big guy coming."

"How old?"

"A pot may not be able to stew."

"Add a grill at noon?"

"Good idea."
