Chapter XIV Transactions
Not everyone can be enlightened, and they must have special qualifications in order to become transcendent through enlightenment.
The number of people with such qualifications is very rare, and there is not necessarily one in every 100,000 people on average, and the proportion is extremely large.
“…… Once you open the door to spirituality, you can pry it into your spirituality and exert extraordinary power. Old man Gwen took out a quaint pocket watch from his pocket.
"That's it."
He said as he opened the lid of the watch.
Syllable.
Chen Xiu held his breath and stared at the old pocket watch.
However, he stared for a while, but he didn't see any changes.
“…… Did something happen? ”
Chen Xiu suppressed the doubts in his heart and looked at the old man with a puzzled gaze.
"It's 9:31 when I take out my pocket watch, and you'll see what time it is." Old man Gewen put away his pocket watch, his face unfathomable.
"I don't have a watch, I don't have a cell phone."
“……”
The old man hurriedly took out his pocket watch again.
Open the pocket watch, the time shown on it is 9:34.
"Is this ......?!"
Chen Xiu's face changed slightly, and in his senses, the time for the old man to show the pocket watch just now was only a few seconds, and it was no more than ten seconds at most.
But the pointer on it shows that three minutes have passed in real time.
Manipulating time? Wrong...... It's perception that is influenced by the other party!
Chen Xiu quickly thought of the key to this.
"Can you lend me a look?" He made that request.
Old man Ge Wen did not refuse, handed the pocket watch to Chen Xiu, and said at the same time: "Just now I just pried the spirituality in this pocket watch, interfered with your spirit, and distorted your perception......"
Chen Xiu listened absentmindedly to Old Man Ge Wen's words, and at this moment most of his thoughts were on this pocket watch.
As soon as I got my pocket watch, a prompt appeared on the data panel.
[Experience value detected...... Start Absorbing]
This old pocket watch contains experience points.
It's just that I don't know why, the speed of absorption of experience points in this is very slow, like squeezing toothpaste and slowly squeezing out, unlike those brake coins as long as they are in his hand, they are all absorbed by him at once.
"So this pocket watch, like those Shamo coins, contains spirituality in it?"
Chen Xiu pretended to study the pocket watch and asked.
At the same time, little by little, the experience points in the pocket watch are absorbed.
"That's right, the special presence you feel is the spirituality that pervades it......"
Ge Wen nodded, explaining Chen Xiu's doubts.
The shamo coins and this pocket watch are both spiritual items.
However, although they are all spiritual items, they are still different, and those Shamo coins only contain spirits, and mainly have only one storage function.
Silver coins that hold spirituality can only be used to perform some relatively simple supernatural means.
And this pocket watch is engraved with a spiritual formula by Ge Wen, which has a strong amplifying effect when performing spiritual supernatural means.
"So what's the difference?"
Chen Xiu faintly understood why the experience value in this pocket watch was absorbed so slowly, I am afraid it was related to the spiritual formula engraved by the old man inside.
And the experience value he absorbs from it should be the spirituality in these things.
Next, Ge Wen's words basically verified Chen Xiu's guess.
"Spirituality is not static, it is lost, and when the spiritual formula is engraved, this phenomenon can be effectively stopped."
Gwen said: "But the spirituality does not disappear in a vacuum, it only transfers from one object to another, and the spirituality in the silver coin you brought has already been lost. ”
Silver is one of the most stable substances in the spirit of conduct, even if the formula is not engraved, the spirit in it is not easy to lose, and it is a natural storage material.
But this is only under normal circumstances, and if it is not stored properly, the spirituality in it will also be lost.
"Do supernatural powers have to be used with the help of spiritual objects?"
Chen Xiu suddenly thought of this question.
"Of course you don't have to, it's just that it doesn't work well." Old man Ge Wen explained, "And with the help of spiritual items, prying the spirituality in them can easily magnify the effect to more than ten times. ”
"I see...... So can we absorb the spirit directly into the body, so that we can achieve the same effect without the help of external objects? ”
Chen Xiu asked again.
"I've had this idea before, until one day someone who did it blew his head in front of me."
Gwen shrugged his shoulders and said, "And there are many people in history who have caused their heads to explode because of this, boy, if you want to explode your head, you can also try it in the future." ”
"Is that ......?"
Chen Xiumo held his pocket watch, his eyes thoughtful.
"Alright, give me the stuff, you're pretty much aware now, and we're almost ready to go." Old man Gwen stretched out his hand.
Despite some reluctance to give up the experience, Chen Xiu still returned the pocket watch to him.
The speed of the experience flowing out of the pocket watch is too slow.,Except for the first little bit of experience that comes out directly.,The experience value in the back is basically a little more than a minute on average.。
In the time he had held it in his hand, he had only absorbed a total of three points of experience.
After the old man took the pocket watch back, he put it directly in his trouser pocket, and he didn't seem to notice that the spirituality in it had decreased.
"How are we going to get started?"
Chen Xiu was eager to try, but at the same time he was a little apprehensive in his heart.
As for whether he has the so-called special qualifications, in fact, he is very uncertain, in the end, the old man thinks that he has qualifications, and it is just because of the nonsense he made up.
But it's all here, you have to try.
"Take it easy, it's easy, you'll find out later."
Old man Gewen said, "But after helping you enlighten your spirit, in exchange, you must help me protect someone for a while." ”
"Protect whom?"
Chen Xiu thought of Pope and his daughter for a moment, and at the same time realized that this matter should be the key to the old man's attitude change, "Who is the opponent?" ”
The old man himself is so powerful, and he actually wants him to help protect him, which shows that the opponent is definitely not an ordinary person.
He had to ask a little more to be prepared.
"One of my family descendants, you've seen before, is that little girl named Lisa." Old man Ge Wen said slowly: "As for the opponent, I don't know yet, I only know that the other party also has transcendent people. ”
"But don't worry, as long as you protect her for ten days at most, with my help, there will be basically no problems in these ten days."
Ge Wen naturally couldn't pin all his hopes on Chen Xiu, his real reliance was on an old friend from the past.
It's just that that old friend is far away from him, and it will take a few days to get to him, and what he wants Chen Xiu to do is to protect Lisa's safety in these few days.
Although Chen Xiu had only just entered the transcendent level even if he succeeded in enlightening the spirit, as long as he used his spiritual items, he could still do it against ordinary transcendents.
"Okay."
Chen Xiu nodded slightly and agreed to the deal.
When the time comes, if he really encounters that kind of dangerous situation, it is a big deal that he runs away and leaves, anyway, it is impossible for him to do such a thing as using his own life to fight others to the death.
"Wait a minute." The old man left these words and went upstairs.
Taking advantage of the old man's departure, Chen Xiu took a look at the data panel.
[Current Experience: 127/137]
[Available experience: 52]
Now he is still 10 points of experience before he can move up another level, and as long as he can move up another level, he will have more confidence in what will happen next.
Soon the old man came down from the upper floor, still holding a black thing in his hand.
A bizarre ...... Plate?
Chen Xiu looked at the thing in front of him, and a trace of doubt flashed on his face.
"Put your hand on it, whatever you want." Old man Gewen instructed him on the side, "Then close your eyes, empty your mind, and feel with your heart." ”
Chen Xiu Yiyan put his hand on the strange-looking black plate, closed his eyes and began to try to feel it.
On the data panel –
[Experience value detected...... Start Absorbing]
Sure enough, it was another spiritual item.
The corners of Chen Xiu's mouth couldn't help but hook slightly.
The experience in the strange plate flows out more slowly than the pocket watch, and it takes about two or three minutes to absorb a little bit from it.
Chen Xiu was not in a hurry, absorbing experience was just a incidental move, the first thing he had to do now was to see if he could feel anything from this strange plate.
Minutes passed, minutes later......
Chen Xiu, who hadn't felt anything yet, hadn't started to be anxious, and the old man Ge Wen on the side couldn't sit still.
I said...... Haven't you felt something yet? The old man asked.
"Nope."
"You have to empty your mind and have no distractions."
"That's what I did."
"You don't see anything?"
"How do you see things with your eyes closed?"
“……”
The old man was also speechless, and he really didn't have an idea: "Why don't you try it with your other hand?" ”
Chen Xiu changed his other hand and put it up.
Fast forward and another two minutes passed, and it was the same as before, and nothing could be felt.
Old man Gwen's old face has been completely pulled down.
"No need to try." The old man suddenly stopped Chen Xiu, and his voice was much colder, "Let's do another thing first." ”
Chen Xiu opened his eyes and noticed that an extra handful of silver coins began to appear in the other party's hand at some point.
"Do what?"
"A simple test." Gwen placed the two silver coins on the table, "There are ten silver coins here, which ones contain spirituality?" ”
Chen Xiu immediately understood that this was because the other party had doubts about himself.
He was not ambiguous, and took the silver coins directly in his hand, and after looking at them for a while, he picked out one of them.
"This."
Chen Xiu held it in his hand, and out of the ten silver coins, only this silver coin provided him with experience.
However, this silver coin must have also been processed by the old man, and only provided him with a little experience.
In the few minutes he had just touched the plate, he had gained a total of 4 XP points, plus 1 XP in the Silver Coins, and now his available XP had become 57 points.
Gwen took the silver coin back, his wrinkled old face full of confusion and doubt.
"It shouldn't be...... Could it be that something is wrong with this thing? The old man took the strange plate and looked left and right, scratching his ears and cheeks, puzzled.
Tests have proven that Chen Xiu can indeed sense the spirituality in objects, and this is something that only a qualified person can do.
Old man Gewen didn't understand why the black plate didn't react at all, he had lived for more than a hundred years and had never encountered such a thing.
"Isn't it too short...... Why don't I try a little longer? ”
When Chen Xiu arrived at this time, he naturally understood that he probably did not have that kind of qualifications, and the reason why he said this was because he was greedy for the experience points in that strange plate.
"It's not a matter of time."
Old man Gewen frowned, and the wrinkles on his forehead became deeper.
"Is there any other way to enlighten the spirit?"
Chen Xiu asked tentatively.
"Yes, but that's the only one I have here." Old man Gwen shook his head.
"Even if you change it, it's useless, no matter which way, the final result is the same, there is no way to fail to enlighten the spirit, and you can succeed in enlightening the spirit with another way."
It can be said that there are many, and even many people have tried, but none of them succeeded.
As a result, Gewen was particularly upset.
What bothered the old man was not that Chen Xiu couldn't enlighten the spirit, in the final analysis, Chen Xiu was just a stranger, and whether the enlightenment succeeded or failed, it didn't have much to do with him.
What he was really worried about was that Chen Xiu couldn't enlighten his soul to become a transcendent being, so his original plan was basically aborted.
Once the opponent has a supernatural power attacking, it will be difficult for him to fight against it.
"Forget it, let's go."
Old man Gwen waved his hand and began to chase away the guests.
He needs time now to find a new way to come out.
"Let's go?" Chen Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood the other party's thoughts, "Wait a minute, even if I can't enlighten the spirit, the transaction between us may not be able to continue." ”
"I might be able to give it a try when it comes to protecting Lisa."
If he left here, he might not be able to find spiritual items from anywhere, and he naturally couldn't just leave like this.
"How do you protect it?"
Old man Ge Wen couldn't help laughing, he felt that Chen Xiu was really innocent and a little cute.
"Let's not mention that there may be extraordinary people who ordinary people can't fight against at all, even if the other party doesn't send extraordinary people over, just send some ordinary subordinates, just two strong guys, and they can knock you to the ground......"
As he spoke, his voice lowered.
The old man looked at Chen Xiu's palm with a stunned expression, and in the middle of the spread palm, several severely deformed silver coins were lying there quietly.
“…… How do you do it? The old man looked up sharply, his expression incredulous.
"I know kung fu."
Chen Xiu's words were concise, his palm turned downward, and the silver coins in his hand fell on the table one after another, making a clicking sound.
Although silver is far less hard than iron, it is not something that ordinary people can do by forcibly pinching silver coins like this.
This operation of pinching the silver coins with his bare hands successfully made the old man look at Chen Xiu with admiration.
"I take back what I said." Old man Gewen's attitude changed, "You do have this qualification...... But now I can't enlighten you, what do you want? ”
