"The white pigeon you raised is gone, that's the problem. ”

"Well, it's a waste of food, and it's gone. "Ye Chongyun is light and the wind is light.

"Don't talk nonsense! to the point," Chang Zaibao sat down with a big grin, leaning back in his chair, and it was really a bit of a big head-catcher, "I can see that it is not an ordinary white pigeon." ”

"Yes, it has a handful of black hair on its neck. ”

"You ......" Chang Zaibao swallowed his saliva and pointed at Ye Chong with his index finger, "When I was looking for the ointment from your drawer, I saw the high-grade spirit stone that your sister-in-law gave you, hmph!

Ye Chong was slightly stunned, he was only concerned about his sister-in-law's injury at that time, how could he forget this stubble? Now that he was discovered by Chang Zaibao, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Fun with you." ”

"!" Chang Zaibao was furious, "Why are you lying to us?"

"The reason why some things are hidden from my brother and sister-in-law is because I don't want to add trouble to you, so don't tell my sister-in-law about this. ”

"Okay," Chang Zaibao said helplessly, "Brother knows, if you don't want to say it, even if you are killed, you won't say it." ”

"Brother Chang, who knows me. ”

"When the time comes, I'll ask your sister-in-law to ask you. ”

I'll go!

Ye Chong immediately collapsed: "Don't use your sister-in-law to pressure me, since you want to know so much, I'll tell you a story." ”

Ye Chong's expression suddenly became serious, his eyes unconsciously looked into the distance, and his memory returned to the past. Chang Zaibao straightened his body, and his expression became solemn, this was the first time he had heard Shichiro talk about himself.

"My mother and I have been staying at my grandfather's house, and one night when I was nine years old, more than 200 cultivators came to attack the mountain villa in search of ...... A 10,000-year-old divine fruit,"

Ye Chong deliberately concealed the secret of the black jade, although Chang Zaibao was like a brother and sister to him, but after all, this was a secret that only he and the girl knew, and it was easy not to confide, otherwise it would definitely cause an uproar, and it would not be a good thing for Brother Chang at that time.

"In order to create an opportunity for our mother and daughter to escape into the secret room, my grandfather immediately led his subordinates to rush out, and they were all captured, but my grandfather and others were extremely strong, in order to save the lives of our mother and son, they bit their tongues and committed suicide as soon as possible, and none of them were spared.

As soon as the war ended, my mother escaped from the secret room with me, and at that time the villa was already on fire, and my mother had no time to find my grandfather's body, so she quickly escaped with me in her arms. After I asked about the divine fruit, my mother took it out and gave it to me, but as soon as I got it, the black divine fruit actually merged into my palm, and then to my chest, forming the black mark. ”

"It turns out that your black mark is caused by that divine fruit!"

"Exactly, after forming the black mark, I felt that the vitality of my whole body was attracted to it, the pain I had never experienced before, I passed out in pain at that time, and my mother used a secret method to transfer her vitality to me while I was unconscious. ”

"What?" Chang Zaibao was taken aback, "That Lingtang ......"

"My mother's mother has a white head overnight, and she is as old as a hundred-year-old person," Speaking of this, Ye Chong frowned slightly, "I have always used silver needles and herbs to heal my mother, but now...... It's almost time coming. ”

"So Lingtang is still there, Qilang, you hide your brother so hard! There is an old lady here, me and your sister-in-law should be filial, you say you ......"

Chang Zaibao complained in his heart, but he couldn't blame him, "Where is her old man now?

"Well, I have mentioned my brother and sister-in-law to my mother, and now that you go to visit her, I think she must be very happy. ”

Ye Chong said, squatting down and lifting a piece of the floor, and walked into the underground passage. Chang Zaibao glared at his little eyes hard, expressed his surprise, and hurriedly followed.

At the end of the passage is a secret room, which is very quiet and simple. Simple, but spotlessly clean.

There was a bed by the wall, a futon on the floor next to the bed, and an oil lamp hanging from the corner.

An old woman with white hair lay quietly on a wooden bed, covered with a purple quilt. Her face was frighteningly old, like the bark of an old pine tree, covered with deep wrinkles and brown age spots, and no one would doubt that she was over 100 years old.

Ye Chong knelt on the futon, gently took out the old woman's shriveled right hand from under the quilt, and placed it on his chest, his eyes showing pity and grief. He is not acting in front of Chang Zaibao, but an involuntary habit revealed by his true feelings.

It seems to pour out silently, as if it is pious prayer.

But the old woman never reacted, and she didn't even move her face slightly.

"Mother, this is the big brother Chang I often mention to you, he came to see you. ”

Although Chang Zaibao's cultivation is not high, he can also see that the old woman is a living dead and no longer has any perception ability.

Seeing the old woman with gray hair, and seeing the scene of Ye Chong kneeling and whispering, Chang Zaibao's nose immediately became sour!

Shichiro said that he often mentions us to his mother on weekdays, but it turns out that it is just like this! I don't know how much suffering there is in this child's heart?

At the age of nine, he suffered this fate, not only to survive, but also to take care of his mother like the living dead, how did he get over the years, and how many tribulations did he go through?

Chang Zaibao seemed to see a shabby bed board, on which lay a pale old woman like a dead man, a little boy with a yellow face and thin muscles and ragged clothes, tying straw ropes around his waist and shoulders, bending over, hunching his back, struggling to pull the broken bed board, or under the scorching sun, or in the stormy rain, or in the north wind that was roaring wildly in the yellow sand, moving forward with difficulty.

Day after day, year after year!

Every step he took was so hard and heavy, but so determined!

At a young age, he has been walking on the edge of life and death, but he has never had the slightest complaint or frustration! It really takes a very high heart and will to accept bad luck so peacefully, not to mention that he was only nine years old at that time?

In his thin and weak little body, there is such a resolute heart, Shichiro is definitely not a thing in the pool! It's a pity that he can't cultivate, otherwise he will definitely improve by leaps and bounds!

Ye Chong told his mother, so he stood up and gave the futon to Chang Zaibao, but saw that Chang Zaibao's little eyes were already flashing with tears!

"Shichiro, you...... Remarkable!"

Chang Zaibao whimpered a little and was a little incoherent, but after all, he didn't know how to express the sourness in his heart, but he knelt down on the futon with a puff and kowtowed three times with tears.

Ye Chong did not shed tears.

Since Ye Chong came to this world, he has shed too much blood and sweat in order to survive, but he has never shed a single tear.

"Okay, big brother, seeing you crying, my mother will also feel distressed, let's go up and let her rest. ”

Chang Zaibao nodded sadly, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and returned to the medical hall hut with Ye Chong, but the atmosphere was no longer as cheerful as before.

"Look, I don't want to say it, you have to say it, is it useful to have a sad face?

Chang Zaibao knew that Ye Chong was comforting him, calmed down his emotions, and said, "Isn't there a way to save him?"

"Yes, but it's the same as nothing,"

Ye Chong grabbed the medicine as he spoke, and the medicine didn't need to be written in his heart, as long as he weighed the dosage, "That Tianyuan Grass and Creation Jade Lotus are the legendary Hongmeng holy relics, and the materials needed for the Shaping Divine Pill and the Vitality Liquid are also Mirror Flowers and Water Moon, how can I get it? ”

"Empty lifeless array?"

"Well, emptiness is space, longevity is time, and no longevity means that there is no time, and everything can be kept in the state it was in when it entered the formation, but to lay down this magical ancient array, it will take at least one hundred and eight high-grade spirit stones. ”

I'm going to go!

Chang Zaibao's eyes widened immediately!

For cultivators, cultivation resources are more important than gold and silver, and spirit stones are the most common cultivation resources, divided into four grades: lower-grade, middle-grade, upper-grade and best, and the exchange ratio between adjacent grades is one to ten, but it is much more valuable than gold and silver.

A low-grade spirit stone is worth a hundred taels of silver, so a high-grade spirit stone is 10,000 taels!

The spirit stone mines under the control of the government must be handed over to the Imperial Resources Supervision Department, and then distributed according to the regulations.

Army building, officials of various ministries, imperial academies, and royal families are the main groups that consume spirit stones, and the remaining spirit stones are sealed into the palace resource bank for later use. Although spirit stones are the most common of cultivation resources, they are non-renewable resources after all, and it is also necessary to keep them for storage.

Therefore, the spirit stone resources under official control rarely appear on the market.

In addition to the official, there are also some big families and academies that also have their own spirit stone mines, but they often exchange spirit stones for other materials, and there are not many on the market.

Therefore, the vast majority of the spirit stones on the market come from wild mines. The wild miners are often a group of mercenaries, but there are also some cultivators who want to get rich overnight or have no way out, and they unite with a small team composed of some people of the same kind.

You can get rich overnight by opening a wild mine, but the risk factor is also extremely high.

Because spirit stone mines are often in deep mountains and dense forests, and where there are spirit stone mines, the spiritual power is relatively sufficient, and there are relatively many high-level demonic beasts gathered there. If they have the ability to take out Warcraft, they will make a windfall, otherwise they will become a snack for Warcraft.

The spirit stones mined by the wild miners are also rarely found in the retail stalls of Fang Market, and they all have fixed consignees. And the consignee will often reserve the high-grade spirit stones to their old customers, and what is really sold on the market is only some medium-grade spirit stones and low-grade spirit stones.

Based on the above reasons, there are very few high-grade spirit stones on the market, although compared with spirit grass and spirit pills, high-grade spirit stones are still at the bottom of cultivation resources, but they are also unattainable.

What's more, a piece of high-grade spirit stone is worth 10,000 taels of silver, even if you can really meet a seller, with Ye Chong's economic strength, you can't even afford half a piece!

However, the Cloth Void Immortal Array needed one hundred and eight high-grade spirit stones.

Hearing this, Chang Da immediately became messy! Each of these three methods is incomparable! No wonder Shichiro said that it is the same as not!

But Ye Chong continued: "I plan to use the third method. ”

"You don't need to keep the spirit stones, but you want to scrape together a hundred and eight pieces? This is too naïve! Do you want to buy as many pieces as you want when you become a high-grade spirit stone? Money can't buy it! Even if we find a wild miner, smashing the bones of me and your sister-in-law won't be enough to buy half a piece!"

"But didn't my sister-in-law make up two pieces for me?"

"That's a piece of, it's not even a fraction!"

"Enough. Ye Chong said.
