Chapter 19: Machine Spirits
Ye Lingchen's body was shocked, but he didn't find anything abnormal when he sensed it carefully, and he couldn't help but look at Yimei Ring strangely.
At that moment, a voice sounded in my heart, 'I want that black stone, buy it.'" ’
Ye Lingchen was stunned, 'Who is it?' ’
But the voice didn't sound again, Ye Lingchen immediately looked at the person's stall, where there was indeed a black stone, inconspicuous.
Suppressing the curiosity in his heart, Ye Lingchen decided to buy the stone, "No matter who the other party is, there must be some mystery to that stone." ‘
Then he said to the man, "Uncle, what are you doing here?" I also have a general understanding of Dawn City, I don't need that book, but I think these stones are quite good-looking, you can introduce them. ”
When the man saw that Ye Lingchen hadn't left yet, he thought, 'This stone is beautiful?' Isn't he a cultivator in this outfit? Doesn't it look like a boy? Could it be that he is a disciple of some hidden world sect who came here to practice. By the way, in a few days, it will be the day of enrollment at Dawn Academy, and he must have come to the academy to study. ’
Then he said: "These stones, most of them are the spirit cores of spirit beasts, which are not only beautiful, but also very helpful for cultivation. ”
Ye Lingchen asked a few glowing spirit crystals before picking up the black stone and asking, "What about this one?" I don't think there's anything special, huh? Could it be that it is also the spirit core of a spirit animal? ”
As soon as the man saw that Ye Lingchen actually picked up the inconspicuous stone, he immediately lost interest, and said lightly: "I got that stone by accident, but it looks strange and is not of great use, if you want it, I will sell it to you cheaper." ”
Ye Lingchen nodded and asked, "Then how much is this stone?" ”
"Fifty crystal coins." The man hesitated.
"What? You sell a useless stone for fifty, you cheat people, everything you have here is fake. Ye Lingchen suddenly exclaimed.
Frightened, the man's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Alas, little brother, don't be so loud." I think you really like this stone, forget it, buy one get one free, you buy a spirit core and I'll give you this stone. ”
Ye Lingchen was secretly refreshed, but he didn't show anything, and finally spent dozens of crystal coins to buy a spirit core, and then got the black stone in his hands.
At this time, a young man next to him pulled Ye Lingchen to the side and said mysteriously: "This son, I have something here that you may be more curious about." ”
After speaking, he took out two books like a trick, and his eyes kept looking around.
That look really deserves two words - obscene.
Ye Lingchen was also very curious when he heard it, but when the young man took out two books, he suddenly felt frustrated, isn't this just an ordinary historical book, and it is so mysterious.
Ye Lingchen got rid of the man, and then returned to the hotel where he was temporarily staying, and it was already late at this time.
Ordered a few dishes at random, sat at the table by the window, the hotel where Ye Lingchen was located was called Jiuyuan Building, the building had nine floors, and Ye Lingchen was on the fifth floor, and the people who lived there were either big forces or rich lords.
Ye Lingchen didn't have much money on his body now, although his cousin asked him to bring more when he left, Ye Lingchen didn't bring much, because the Ye family needed it even more now.
It was already a luxury for him to live on the fifth floor, he opened the curtains, the lights were gradually lit outside, and the streets were still full of people.
This is not a scene in Fengling City, although Fengling City is also a medium-sized city of the Fengyuan Empire, but it is nothing compared to this Dawning City.
Whether it is strength or consumption, neither is at the same level. For example, a night in this hotel costs fifty crystal coins, and in Fengling City, fifty crystal coins is a family's annual income. Here, even the children of the families in Fengling City are not able to consume casually.
Ye Lingchen sighed at the prosperity of Dawn City, and secretly made plans for the future, "This Dawning City will be the first witness of my Ye Lingchen's rise." ”
At night, everyone went back to their homes, and only a few places on the streets were still thriving.
In the Jiuyuan Building, Ye Lingchen suddenly remembered the black stone he bought during the day, so he got up and went back to the room, closing all the windows.
Ye Lingchen took the black stone in his hand and looked at it carefully, put it in the light for a while, roast it on the fire for a while, and infuse it with spiritual power for a while, but there was no reaction, which made Ye Lingchen feel depressed for a while, but he couldn't help but take this stone.
Ye Lingchen thought that since he didn't know who needed this stone, he would put it away first. Thinking of Ye Lingchen, he entered the ring space with the stone.
As usual, Ye Lingchen came to the Yimei Stone in the space, ready to practice cross-legged. As the saying goes, the fist does not leave the hand, the song does not leave the mouth, although he has not yet entered the academy, but for cultivation, Ye Lingchen still does not relax.
Just when Ye Lingchen came to Yimei Stone, the black stone in his hand suddenly emitted a faint light, Ye Lingchen was puzzled, looking at the affected stone with a curious face, and suddenly a huge force came from the middle of the attack, and the stone came out of his hand and hit it towards Yimei Stone.
When Ye Lingchen saw it, he quickly retreated his body, but he clearly remembered the horror of the rebound power of the Yimei Stone, although he had used the Yimei Stone to exercise his body, but it was also his ability to control the power, and he had a very close connection with the space, and he could feedback a part of the spiritual power back to his body from the Yimei Stone.
And this time, the movement of this black stone was so sudden that Ye Lingchen felt puzzled. Moreover, this black stone hit like this, and the force just now Ye Lingchen also felt very powerful.
Taking a distance back, Ye Lingchen stared ahead, where the black stone did not rebound as originally imagined, but directly drilled into the Yimei stone. It's like suddenly throwing a stone on the surface of a calm lake, and the Yimei stone flickered for a moment, and then it was silent.
After waiting for a while, Ye Lingchen approached suspiciously, and found that Yimei Stone was a little thicker than before, this feeling was very wonderful, even Ye Lingchen didn't quite understand why he felt this way.
Ye Lingchen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Although I can use this space, sometimes I always feel as if I can't control all this, as if I'm just a user, but not the owner." ”
"Alas!" Ye Lingchen sighed. Sitting cross-legged under the Yimei Stone, meditating into cultivation, the aura in the space slowly gathered, but these were only a drop in the bucket compared to the aura in the space.
The aura drilled into Ye Lingchen's body one after another, and Ye Lingchen converted the aura into spiritual power in his body according to the method in the refining chapter of the Three Flame Recipes of the Burning God.
The cultivation of the Three Flame Techniques of the Burning God requires a lot of spiritual energy, and you must know that when ordinary spiritual masters cultivate, they incorporate spiritual energy from the entrance.
However, when cultivating the Three Flame Techniques of the Burning God, it is not just from the entrance to incorporate the aura, but the pores around the body can absorb the aura, although these are much rarer than the entrance absorption, so when transforming, not only the eight veins of the Qi Sutra also operate together, but the speed of transforming the spiritual power is also relatively fast.
When the spiritual power in his body was transformed and filled, Ye Lingchen used his spiritual power to wash his body little by little, strengthening his internal organs, and at the same time, the spiritual power was integrated into the blood, making the blood more pure. It is said that those who cultivate to a high level of strength are their blood, and they are also equivalent to the existence of heaven and earth treasures, which shows how important the purity of blood is.
After some cultivation, Ye Lingchen slowly opened his eyes, "How can the time I spend washing my body with spiritual power this time is shortened by one percent compared to last time?" ”
Looking around, he roughly felt the space, suddenly stood up, and said to himself, "What's going on?" The area of the space is two percent larger than before. ”
Such a change made Ye Lingchen frown, Ye Lingchen knew that the change in Yimei's ring was developing in a good direction, but this kind of inexplicable change was not something Ye Lingchen was willing to encounter.
"No wonder the cultivation time will be shortened this time, it turns out that there is more aura in the space than before. But how so? What is silent changes. Ye Lingchen sighed.
"Ahh It must have been the black stone. Ye Lingchen remembered the black stone he brought in when he came in this time, and said secretly.
Ye Lingchen looked at the changes in the space, except that the space had become larger, the aura had become a little stronger, and the four light clusters were still suspended in the air, like four suns.
Ye Lingchen could feel that the aura in the middle of the white light cluster was very familiar, that is, during the last battle of the Ye family, a trace of spirit body entered Ye Lingchen's light cluster, and the phantom of a bell could be seen in it.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in Ye Lingchen's heart.
"You...... Here it ......."
Ye Lingchen was so shocked that he almost jumped up, this voice was the sound he heard during the day. couldn't help but look around, and finally his eyes stayed on the Yimei Stone in front of him.
Ye Lingchen had a strange feeling, as if there was a soul in this ring space, the feeling of being stared at just now made him uncomfortable, and unconsciously, sweat wet Ye Lingchen's back, Ye Lingchen secretly told himself, 'Be calm!' Calm down! ’
Ye Lingchen calmed down, and then said calmly: "Come out, who are you?" Don't hide your head and tail, if there is anything you can't say to your face. ”
The voice was silent for a while, and then replied timidly, "I have no ill will towards you, you ...... Come to me. ”
When Ye Lingchen heard this, he said suspiciously: "Where are you, why didn't I see you?" ”
"I'm right in front of you!"
Ye Lingchen was stunned for a moment, and there was Yimei Stone in front of him.
"Isn't it ......"
Ye Lingchen slowly approached, he couldn't believe his eyes, and he was secretly shocked, "Why is there a sudden white light in the Yimei Stone, I remember that there was no one before, and there was no one when I came in yesterday, how could it be?" ’
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you, I was born by Yimei Stone, and I was only able to communicate with you a few days ago." The light group was beating, and the voice also remembered from Ye Lingchen's heart.
"Are you a machine spirit?" Ye Lingchen asked in surprise.
In the Creation Continent, it is very difficult for magic weapons to produce machine spirits, and it takes a long time to cultivate their masters. As it is known now, the magic weapons that possess the spirit of the machine are all in the hands of those powerful beings, and they are kept as treasures.
"My name is Taiyi."
Ye Lingchen was stunned, "Your name is Taiyi?" ”
The light group replied, "Hmm. You don't have a deep grasp of this space, and you can't communicate with me in your heart, because you only let Yimei confess part of it at the beginning. ”
"Oh? So what else do you have to do to recognize Yimei as the Lord? ”
"It used to be difficult, but now that I have it, it's easy, you just need to condense a drop of essence blood and drop it on the Yimei Stone."
Ye Lingchen dropped a drop of essence blood on the Yimei Stone as he said, and the essence blood gradually penetrated and merged into the light cluster inside, and then the group slowly changed, forming a human form.
Ye Lingchen was very curious about the machine spirit, these very mysterious existences that were rumored in the books were actually in front of him, Ye Lingchen was very excited.
After a while, the light cluster formed, and there was actually a vague shadow of Ye Lingchen.
Ye Lingchen said with a smile: "How did you make it look like me?" ”
The machine spirit said: "I have only become conscious in the past few days, and my consciousness is only in your appearance, so I can only be the same as you, but I can still change in the future." ”
After hearing this, Ye Lingchen felt that what Ji Ling said also made sense, and asked, "What will I call you in the future?" Taiyi? ”
"You are the master of the Yimei Ring, I am a machine spirit, or you can give me one."
Ye Lingchen thought for a while, and then said, "Since you are shining with white light, I will call you Xiaobai in the future." Xiaobai, that black stone is what you want me to buy, is there anything special about that stone? I didn't see it for a long time. ”
"That stone is called the Spirit Cultivation Stone, it doesn't have much effect on you cultivators, but it has a great effect on the growth of the spirit body, without it, I don't know when I will be able to communicate with you normally." Xiaobai said, "It helps me a lot, if I want to improve the grade of the space, I need a lot of natural treasures and other things." However, this stone does not belong to the category of natural treasures. ”
Ye Lingchen understood a little, and sighed, "Heaven and earth treasure? That's all very rare......"
Xiaobai comforted and said: "There shouldn't be a need for it in the early stage, but the magic weapon is in the later stage, and there is no natural treasure to supply, it is difficult to grow, and with your strength in the early stage, the space will still improve." ”
"Oh, I see. Xiaobai, do you think space still has any purpose? Ye Lingchen asked.
"It's not a problem to use it to assist you in cultivation now."
"And what about the last time the spirit possession function appeared?" Ye Lingchen told Xiaobai about the situation in the Ye family last time, and asked again.
Xiaobai immediately said: "Then you'd better not think about it, I don't know much about these four guys in the sky, and I should have made a move last time because you were threatened." ”
"Actually, last time it was very dangerous, if you weren't careful, maybe you would...... I think it would hurt them a lot if I did that last time, and I don't know if it will happen next time. And until you're strong, it's best not to rely on spirit possession. ”
Ye Lingchen was in the space, and he stabilized the mid-level realm of Qi cultivation, and then stopped cultivating out of the space.
The next day, Ye Lingchen came to the Dawn Branch, the school was in the center of Dawn City, Ye Lingchen couldn't help but wonder when he came here, "Isn't today the day to sign up?" Why is there no one? ”
Ye Lingchen looked around and saw a young man in front of him striding in, Ye Lingchen hurriedly ran up, grabbed the man's arm, and asked, "Big brother, may I ask, is today the day of school registration?" Why didn't anyone sign up see it? ”
Just as Ye Lingchen grabbed him, the man burst out with a burst of spiritual power, and Ye Lingchen's arm was numb.
The man glanced back at Ye Lingchen, and Ye Lingchen's body suddenly tightened, "This person's breath is so cold, although the murderous aura on his body has been hidden, he can still feel it." ’
When Ye Lingchen looked at the other party, the other party also looked at Ye Lingchen, and when he saw that it was a freshman who came to sign up, he was also curious, "I can actually resist my backlash, and it seems that he is in good health." ’
The man coldly pointed in a direction and said, "The sign-up is over there." ”
After Ye Lingchen thanked him, he walked towards that side, it was already evening, and the sun was about to sink into the back of the mountain, when Ye Lingchen arrived at the registration location, a middle-aged woman was walking out from the inside.
The middle-aged woman saw that Ye Lingchen was also a new face, and it was estimated that she had come to sign up, and she felt sorry in her heart, "These students recruited today are really a headache, and they are dragging them to death one by one, and they don't even take me as a teacher in their eyes." I don't know which disciple this is, I don't know the rules so much, I didn't even sign up so late. ‘
