Chapter 54: Grinding Starflower
Night.
The brilliance of the Tower of Yao enveloped the entire city as usual, and there was an inexplicable sense of security in bathing in this sun-like light.
This sense of security comes not only from the psyche, but also from the physiological.
The brilliance of the Tower of Yao can dispel the [Eclipse Mist], speed up the recovery of the Radiant's energy, and enhance the ability to sustain combat.
Every night, in all corners of Fengyao City, there are thousands of Yao Neng people absorbing the brilliance of the [Yao Tower] and cultivating Yao Neng.
In the room, Ling Xun sat at the writing desk, first put the book into the drawer, and then took out a transparent box containing a [Starspot Dew Flower] and put it on the table.
The first thing I had to do tonight was to try the effect of [Starspot Dew Flower], which was bought for a lot of money, and Ling Xun couldn't wait to check the goods.
Tilting his head sideways, Ling Xun carefully observed the appearance of this flower, in the dim room, the [Starspot Dew Flower] exuded a faint brilliance, and the luster was as beautiful as the stars.
Ling Xun looked a little fascinated, then came back to his senses and took out the small bag containing the grinding tools.
"How do you use this grinding tool for ......?"
When the packet was opened, there was a grinding bowl and a grinding pestle, similar to the medicine pestle in the Blue Star pharmacy. In addition to this, there are five small bottles to hold the ground [Sun Material].
He took the grinding pestle and weighed it, it was very heavy, judging from the color and texture, Ling Xun estimated that it was doped with obsidian.
Taking out the one-page manual, Ling Xun read it carefully, "Is it so simple to ......grind the [Sun Materials] under the sunlight or the light of the [Tower of Yao]?" ”
According to the instructions, Ling Xun lifted the lid of the grinding bowl, carefully poured the [Starspot Dew Flower] into it, and took the half-foot-long grinding pestle, and tinkered with it a little clumsily.
Such a simple tinkering can crush the [Star Dew Flower] ......, this one is worth more than 3,000 Yao coins, don't make it waste...... Ling Xun was suspicious and worried, and in strict accordance with what the manual said, he exposed the grinding bowl to the light of the [Yao Tower] and tinkered.
Call......
As a faint golden glow shone into the bowl, the surface of the [Starspot Dew Flower] suddenly lit up, as if it was burning.
With the grinding pestle up and down, between the pounding, this beautiful flower quickly turned into powder, and a faint light filled the air, and the entire grinding bowl was covered with a strange halo.
At the same time, a strange aroma wafted up, and Ling Xun took a sip, and felt a faint warmth flowing into his body, which was several times purer than the smell of [Ghost Light Tobacco].
Immediately, Ling Xun hurriedly picked up a small bottle and filled the powder of [Star Spotted Dew] into it.
"It's a strange process of grinding starlight......
Ling Xun muttered, picked up the cup that had been prepared at the table a long time ago, and poured a fifth of the powder in the small bottle.
In an instant, the water in the cup changes color, taking on a clear and glowing texture, and the aroma wafts away more and more intensely.
"The powder of [Starspot Dew] is volatile and should be taken quickly."
Ling Xun kept these things in mind, took the cup, and drank it all.
The feeling of the liquid passing through the tongue was strange, as if swallowing a strong aroma, and as the aroma sank into the stomach, the whole body immediately warmed up.
Immediately, Ling Xun summoned the "Cross Light Trace", looked at the body bead at the top of the "cross handle", and absorbed the energy of 16 more Eclipse Nightmare in Xihe Store, and the bright red light arc on the surface of the body bead turned into seven again.
Standing in the center of the room, facing the light of the [Yao Tower] shining through the window, Ling Xun began to display his Yao energy physical skills.
Whew, whew, whew, a little light and shadow flickered in the room, [Yao Neng Break], [Yao Neng Thorn], and [Flick Palm] were alternately used by Ling Xun, and the Yao energy he released was not strong, and it would not alarm the sister next door.
As he exerted his physical skills, he felt a warm current surging in his body, converging in his palms, enhancing and replenishing his energy and strengthening his palms.
For a moment, Ling Xun stood still, let out a long breath, and summoned the "Cross Light Trace" again, and suddenly saw a bright red arc of light on the surface of the body bead, faintly showing signs of entering the bead.
"Is this a sign of 'entering the pearl'? It's really much stronger than [Spectral Smoke], and it's ......"
Ling Xun pondered for a moment, and secretly calculated that at this rate, if he took it 2~3 times, he would be able to have a bright red arc of light to complete the "pearl".
One [Star Dew Flower] can be taken five times, and at least two bright red arcs of light can "enter the pearl".
And after the popping berry was taken, the effect was consumed, and only three bright red arcs of light "entered the pearl", according to Director Yuan, that popping berry was worth seven or eight thousand Yao coins, and it belonged to the [Sun Material] that only middle-level Yao Shi took.
Why did it ...... like this, Ling Xun wondered, could it be that the quality of this [Starspot Dew Flower] was excellent? But it shouldn't be that bad......
Thinking of some of the information revealed by Director Yuan, Ling Xun vaguely understood that it was not that the potency of the popping berry was much worse, but that it was not absorbed and wasted.
With the method just now, taking the powder of [Star Dew] can be absorbed and utilized to the greatest extent.
For low-level Yaoshi, taking the corresponding [Sun Material] will not only save money, but also the absorption efficiency will be much higher.
Thinking of this, Ling Xun carefully observed the color of the body beads, which had already filled one-third, and if the remaining seven bright red light arcs "entered the beads", they could fill about half.
"Probably kill another 12 second-level eclipse nightmares, and you can completely light up the body beads, counting the existing seven paths, 19 ......, even 20 paths. Two bright red arcs of light consume one [Starspot Dew Flower], ten flowers are enough. ”
"That's not a lot! More than 30,000 Yao coins ......"
When Ling Xun talked about the number of coins, he was quite distressed, this was his hard-earned money!
Besides, this is only the first body bead, and a total of sixty or seventy thousand yuan worth of [Sun Materials] is needed, what about the second body bead......
As soon as he thought of this, Ling Xun immediately cut off his thoughts, let's wait until later.
Sitting back at the table, Ling Xun put away the grinding tools and carefully hid the [Starspot Dew] before opening the drawer and taking out the book.
The second thing to do tonight is to read the book carefully and find out what it takes to fight the Eclipse in a short period of time.
Turn on the lamp on the table, turn the cover, Ling Xun read page by page, and read carefully.
"In the year 684 of the Dawning Calendar, on the outskirts of Fengyao City, there were signs of the outbreak of the Kuroshio Current......"
Different from the rough shorthand during the day, this careful reading, more than seven hundred years ago, all kinds of scenes in Fengyao City were presented in Ling Xun's mind in three dimensions.
"More than 700 years ago, it should have been in the middle and late period of the Dawning Calendar, and there was no 'city' level administrative area at that time, or was the scale of Fengyao City at that time only called a 'city' ......?"
Ling Xun frowned and thought about it, in his original memory, he didn't know much about the history of this world, he only knew that it was the dawn calendar now, and before that it was the dawn calendar that lasted for thousands of years.
Such a superficial cognition is actually normal when placed on the original body, and the information circulation in this world is far less explosive than that of the blue star.
This world, where humanity has been subjected to eroded nightmares for thousands of years, has been devastated, and there is no highly developed network, and communication between cities is limited.
In such a situation, people's cognitive level of all aspects is naturally quite insufficient.
And how much can a 16-year-old boy know about the history of this world......
Ling Xun traveled over for more than a month, but he paid attention to the conversation between the staff of the institute and Mr. Han and learned some information.
The year 684 of the Dawning Calendar was the period when human beings built the [Yao Tower] on a large scale and used it as a base to conquer the wasteland and open up the living space of human beings.
In addition, in the long-term battle between humans and the Eclipse Nightmare, they have gradually mastered the power of Yao and are forming a complete system.
It can be inferred that the scale of Fengyao City at that time was not large, and it may not even have the area of the inner city today, so it is appropriate to call it a "city".
Ling Xun pondered the history of Fengyao City for a while, and then sped up his reading, what he really wanted to know was not this.
Although this book is not thick, it has more than 100 pages, and if you read it all, it will not be enough time in one night.
After turning a few pages, Ling Xun saw what he wanted to know, "The content of this book has obvious traces of excerpts, and it is obvious that the 'Western Peace Society' is a special excerpt from King Su and the part of [Breaking the Deed of Nightmare], which is very intimate." ”
In the year 684 of the Dawn calendar, King Su was only 22 years old at the time, and with the qualifications of Chaoyao sense, he became one of the ranks of the junior Yao Neng masters, and founded the organization "Xihe Society".
The qualifications of the super sense, the 22-year-old junior Yao Neng Master ......, Ling Xun was speechless, this is also too scary, the so-called peerless genius refers to such a person.
The book mentions that shortly after the 22-year-old King Su established the "Western Peace Society", Fengyao City was invaded by the Kuroshio.
At that time, the defense of the city was far worse than it is now, and from the description in the book, Ling Xun learned that the defense mechanism of the [Tower of Yao] at that time was not perfect, and it could not be seamlessly connected with the day.
For hours a day, between night and day, the city could not be protected by the Dawn.
In addition, at that time, the Yao Neng Protective Net had not been invented, and every day for such a long blank period, a series of eclipse invasion events would break out in Wind Yao City.
In order to protect his homeland, and for the sake of his brothers in the "Western Peace Society", King Su fights every day, looking for a more effective way to kill the Eclipse Nightmare.
In this year, the [Nightmare Breaker's Contract], as a "Nightmare Exorcist", came to Wind Dawn City, and the purpose of this mysterious Dawn Celebrity was not to fight the Black Tide, but to find a material unique to Wind Dawn City and make a [Nightmare Spike].
With the help of the Suo, the Broken Pact creates the Nightmare Spike, and in return, the latter joins the team fighting the Kuroshio.
This book is similar to a semi-biography, which is not only narrated by later generations, but also quoted from the words of King Su, and there are not many impassioned words, but more of a documentary stroke.
However, when Ling Xun thought of the current situation in Fengyao City, he was inexplicably touched when he read it.
Flipping to the middle of the book, Ling Xun's eyes lit up, "I found ......"
"......, for the Able, the battle with the Eclipse is like dancing on the tip of a knife, and the slightest carelessness will cause serious injuries and serious sequelae. It is an unequal battle between a body strengthened by Yao energy and a mutated nightmare creature. ”
"......, it is said that some cities have unearthed civilizations before the dawn of the dawn, creating a yao tool that greatly increases the actual combat ability of the Dawners, and has a considerable protective effect. From a personal point of view, this is a regressive ...... for a system that pursues the ultimate in solar energy."
"......, these days, I have another point of view about the weapon of Yao. In the battle against the Eclipse, the Obsidian is an epoch-making progress. I look forward to the day when Yao utensils will be popularized....... However, the arrival of that day also means that I, who is a person like me, who strengthens his body with Yao Energy and aims for extreme physical skills, has ushered in a moment of decline......
"......, using the blood of [Broken Nightmare Deed] as a guide, accurately find the traces of the Eclipse Nightmare, and then imprison it with the Nightmare Nail, this is really magical. I'm going to further practice the [Bullet Palm] I created, this low-level Yao Energy physical technique is both effective and labor-saving to deal with the body of the Invisible Nightmare. ”
"......, the Nightmare Nail is actually a kind of Yao tool, and it is even more magical, but unfortunately, like a person like me, who cultivates Yao energy, is destined to retire from the stage of history."
