Volume 1 Earth Chapter 38 Water Spirit Bead
"The band of this ring is made by me with a key embryo, but the face of the ring is made of empty stone. β
Ning Ke pointed to the ugly ring and said:
"The Void Stone, also known as the Four-Dimensional Stone, is a substance that did not burst open when the universe was first born, and has the characteristics of four dimensions. Let me explain to you that any painting, even a computer-drawn three-dimensional painting, is a two-dimensional existence, and in our three-dimensional space, a two-dimensional painting does not take up any volume at all. For example, a room can fit many two-dimensional paintings. In the same way, a four-dimensional space can fit many three-dimensional objects.
"Don't look at such an inconspicuous little thing, it has a volume of twenty or thirty cubic meters. If this four-dimensional stone were to be unfolded in a three-dimensional form, it would probably have to be the size of a small building. My current cultivation is still very low, and I can't fully expand its space. β
"But, but I can't feel the weight! Not to mention the other items in the ring, just the round tabletop, which weighs at least a few hundred pounds, but I can't feel its weight at all." β
"Four-dimensional space is not affected by three-dimensional space, it can be said that it shields everything in three-dimensional space, including gravity ......"
"Oh...... But I don't see anything unusual about this ring, it's weirdly ugly, it's too inconspicuous. I can't see entrances or doors...... How do you put things?"
Ning Ke pondered his language for a moment and said:
"If you want to put or take something out, you have to use the divine consciousness that you have cultivated. I put a few bans on its interface with three-dimensional space - the equivalent of a gate valve with a password. Even if there is no prohibition, three-dimensional objects will not enter it, they are not in the same space at all, there is no special external force, and it is impossible for matter to exchange with each other.
"It's best suited for solid or packaged liquids. If you put the liquid directly, it will be like being in space, and the liquid will gather into a ball, and when touched, it will scatter into countless small liquid balls. Not only does it store things, but it will never spoil even if you put in fresh food. It is difficult for any three-dimensional life to survive in a four-dimensional space, and the same is true for bacteria. Put the mobile phone in it, even if it is not charged for half a year, you can still make calls......"
"Ah, what a baby! Where did you come from?"
"I'm ashamed to say it, a few days ago, when I was appraising the treasure - didn't I tell you, three Taoist priests came to make a big fuss at the TV station, and I took advantage of the chaos to get it. The owner of this empty stone is a little girl about my age, named Qin Ye. She wanted to auction on the spot at that time, and the auction reserve price given by the expert was only 10,000 yuan...... When I have money, I will pay her back tenfold or hundredfold. β
"Oh...... Speaking of which, all of this still has to be premised on cultivation. If you teach me the exercises now, I will also become a person with special functions. β
"Good. I'm going to teach you now the three tricks of inducing qi: there is nothing in the beginning, and there is nothing in the name. One arises, and one is not formed. At the beginning of Hongmeng, everything is chaotic, yin and yang are combined to give birth to two instruments, and then four elephants are born......"
Lin Lan cultivated according to Ning Ke's mantra for a while, but didn't feel anything, and couldn't help asking, "Did you also cultivate like this at the beginning?"
"It's not. β
"You...... You scoundrel! I give my heart to ...... Say, "How the hell are you cultivating?"
Ning Ke saw Lin Lan's eagerness to ask, and hurriedly explained, "It's not that I don't want to help you, cultivation is like this. It's just that my master helped me and gave me three Neidantou pills, and after I took it, I directly became angry. β
"What about your master?...... Can I learn from her?"
"When I was six years old and on the verge of death after being hit by a farm vehicle, she suddenly showed up and healed me. After that, I never saw her again. β
"Then how did you cultivate?"
Ning Ke took out the gluttonous box in the ring and handed it to Lin Lan.
"Yo, this box looks like a treasure...... Well, is the relief on this box gluttonous?"
Ning Ke didn't answer Lin Lan's question, and opened the box with his mind.
"Ahh
"This is the divine box that my master left me, and I named it the gluttonous box. It has acknowledged me as Lord, and has opened and closed exactly as I thought. It's just that I still haven't figured out what the box is really for.
"Every time you open the box, it takes on a different shape. These three small jade bottles originally contained three pills, and these four jade slips, a talisman, and this notched bronze mirror were all cultivation resources left to me by Master. These five light cyan jade slips were found in the cave I found here, and they recorded many practical tricks. These spirit crystals and two Go pieces were also found in the cliff cave here......"
Ning Ke took out a piece of jade and handed it to Lin Lan.
"Oh...... This jade slip is indeed a good jade, but I can't see any tricks!"
"This also requires cultivating divine consciousness to be able to see the content inside. However, don't be discouraged, you practice like this first, as long as you have a spiritual root, you will definitely cultivate your true qi after a long time. When the True Qi accumulates to a certain extent, it will automatically activate the Divine Sense. I'm going to learn more about alchemy when I have free time, and when I learn alchemy, things will be easy......"
"Do you want to learn alchemy? I heard Master Gong say that alchemy is not something that ordinary people can refine......
"I think I should be able to refine the Dan. β
"Okay, I like your kind of rhetoric! Just now, Wang Bodao also used this kind of rhetoric...... Do you want to go to Qiantang University?"
"How can I think about this now! I still want to lay a good foundation for high school, and besides, my mom is not in good health, so I can't go far. The Agriculture and Forestry University in Linwei is the best, but unfortunately it only has Chinese medicine and herbs......"
The two of them muttered and talked in the tent, and later said that they were tired and fell asleep. Of course, the heads of the two were not in the same direction.
In the afternoon, the two of them went to the archaeological site for a turn, and when they saw some archaeologists salvaging objects in the stream, Ning Ke covered his mouth and snickered, and was pulled away by Lin Lan's fierce glare.
At night, Ning Ke played a few energy prohibitions around the tent, and since there was no array flag or spirit rune support, the effect was not very good, so he gave the soul lock ring to Lin Lan and asked Huang Xiaohong to protect her.
He climbed the Fuhan Cave along the layered cliff wall in the west alone.
Now that I have true qi, it doesn't take much effort to climb a cliff cave at this height.
There were two caretakers in the cave, and Ning Ke quietly entered the Qiankun room without using the flashlight to directly release his divine sense. Originally, I thought it would be convenient to enter the cave in the work clothes of the archaeological team, but now it is redundant.
He was shocked by the layout of the cave!
The entire Qiankun room is a spirit gathering formation arranged according to the thirty-six Heavenly Gang Stars and the seventy-two Earth Evil Spirits, which is like a cultivation pole!
It's a pity that all the night pearls that support Tiangang have been removed, and the jade rune array banner that supports the earth shatter has been dug up and there is no trace. Only the pit of the formation flag arranged on the roof and ground of the room remained, and the aura in the room was slowly dissipating.
There is not a single jade bottle left on the closet shelf, and there is no bloodstone stone stone bench, so it is said that there should be three stone benches left!
The heavy stone bed frame near the cave wall is still there. Ning Ke saw that the bed frame was also carved from bloodstone, and there were obvious traces of the formation left by the great power on it.
Ning Ke was very puzzled, judging from the objects excavated by the archaeological team, not only did there be no Night Pearl and Jade Fu Array Flag, but the number of other objects was also wrong!
Oh, there's only one possibility, someone has already taken some of the objects before the archaeological team enters the chamber.
Who got it?!
Ning Ke's heart hurts!
He searched the Qiankun room and casually incorporated the bloodstone bed frame into the storage ring. Seeing that there was nothing useful, he walked lightly towards the dark river in the cave.
Although the cave was dark and he couldn't see his five fingers, Ning Ke's divine sense was released, and there was no obstacle to walking, just consuming some true qi and brains.
Ever since cultivating in Poliujing, Ning Ke found that his true qi consumption was different from before. Originally, once the true qi was consumed, it could not be replenished without cultivation, but now, although the surrounding spiritual qi is still thin, even if some of the true qi is consumed, it will be automatically replenished quickly.
He guessed that the true qi produced by the word "qi" pill was foreign, playing a guiding and enlightening role, like a medicine primer, unlike the true qi obtained by his own cultivation, which was his own and could be spontaneously replenished after consumption.
This time, Ning Ke walked quickly under the cave, and after a while, he heard the sound of rushing water that gradually intensified, and the water roared in front of him when he turned a corner.
Only today did I understand that the Danchi Seal is a spirit gathering array, constantly condensing the surrounding spiritual energy.
He crossed the dark river and climbed to the edge of the Dan Pond, and found that the small pile of crystals at the bottom of the Dan Pond was still there, and he was overjoyed that there was finally a harvest for today's trip.
This kind of crystal is a spirit stone, and it is a rare cultivation resource for cultivators.
He sank into the water and placed the crystals from the bottom into the storage ringβah, thirty-two!
Ning Ke calculated that Zhang Daoling had founded Taoism nearly 2,000 years ago, and the Danchi in this place was most likely built by him. He roughly calculated, it was not easy to produce one spirit stone every sixty years!
"Hehe, the key is that I got it, and I got all the spirit stones produced for two thousand years!"
He carefully observed the arrangement of the Dan Pond, which was a formation that skillfully used the surrounding environment to gather the energy of the dark river, and the accumulation of energy could only form one spirit stone every sixty years.
What is the geometry of life?...... Maybe you can only wait for a spirit stone crystal to come out in your life.
The energy around the pool was abundant, and he sat cross-legged at the bottom of the water to run the three talents to refine the qi, and the aura around him was in the form of a whirlpool, surging into his body at a rapid pace.
Before you know it, a few hours have passed.
The air mass in his qi sea cave had grown so much that it was close to the size of a pigeon's egg.
"I've reached the second layer of Qi refining?!"
After cultivating for a while, the aura around him was gradually dried up by the aura he absorbed. But there was still a stream of aura gushing out from the bottom of the pool. Ning Ke then released his divine sense and found that there was a spirit bead under the sand and stone deep at the bottom of the pool.
He dug through the sand and stones under the water and grabbed a crystal clear spirit bead the size of a ping-pong ball. It seems to be constantly surging with a sense of energy like water waves.
"Ah, this is the Water Spirit Bead!"
Ning Ke is no longer a novice in cultivation now, and with his erudition and strong memory, he tries to memorize everything he can see on the jade slip.
This water spirit bead is much larger than the Yin spirit bead given to him by Huang Xiaohong, and the aura seems to be much stronger.
The water spirit bead is the essence of water condensed for hundreds of millions of years, and the water attribute is the same.
Ning Ke didn't know his spiritual root attributes, and he found that he could use this water spirit bead to enhance his energy. He secretly thought, if I can absorb the aura of this bead, then I am not the water spirit root?
He tried to absorb the aura of the Water Spirit Bead, which could be invoked, but could not be stored in his body.
At this time, he felt that his absorption of aura seemed to have reached a critical point, and he could no longer absorb the aura from the outside world for the time being. But no matter what, this water spirit bead can be used as a temporary source of aura, like a power bank.
Suddenly, he sensed that the prohibition placed on the tent had been broken, and something had happened to Lin Lan?!
