041, the embryo of the sword (above)

This stone is famous not only because it is specialized in the area of Wufu Hill, but also because it is a natural treasure for refining magic weapons. When Huwa was in Baixi Village, she saw that Baixi Ying's family had collected a jasper short sword, which was a magic weapon that was taken away by Beixi and used in the fighting method. The tiger baby now knows that its original material is Wufu stone, but the refining technique is not very clever.

As a mineral, Wufu stone usually occurs in conjunction with another mineral, which is a thick stone crust wrapped around it. This kind of stone shell is different from other rocks, suitable for sharpening stone knives and stone axes, which are not only sharp but also have good toughness, are not so brittle, and are relatively not easy to break and break.

The stone shell of Wufu stone is formed by the impurities of Wufu stone penetrating into the surrounding rock layers in the process of natural gestation, and the most essential part left in the center is the beautiful stone. This kind of stone shell can be used to process all kinds of stone tools, and can also be processed into stone treasures by refining techniques by the masters, but it is far less precious than the real Wufu stone, just a special stone.

Yanfeng is familiar with the specialties in this area, and what he just said is also in jargon. The real value of the treasure weapon is the refining and forging skills of the masters, and the stone shell sword embryo alone is indeed not worth too much money.

Hanxiong held the sword embryo in his hand and asked Huwa with some puzzlement: "Mr. Xiaolu, among the shops we visited today, there are also Wufu Meishi that have not yet been refined. Everyone saw it, and they studied and discussed it for a long time, but they didn't expect to be able to buy a heavenly treasure that can be refined here. Presumably, the owners of those shops were not proficient in refining weapons, and they did not dare to ask someone to do anything about it, so they directly sold the beautiful stones.

There are also decorative short swords made of the stone shell of the Wufu stone, and everyone has also played with them, and you are watching from the sidelines. Wufu Stone and its stone shell have all been seen today, it is impossible for you not to know it? With your cultivation, it is impossible to be too blind. I think this sword embryo is better than all the swords in the shop. You must have seen that there was something else in it, so tell me!"

Huwa patiently explained: "I have been visiting the market for the past three days, studying Wufu Meishi, and also studying more artifacts processed from stone shells, and I have been inducing and figuring out its physical properties. But only this artifact, made of neither wufu stone nor its stone shell, is unique in this bazaar. ”

Hanxiong was surprised: "Then what is it? It's clearly the stone shell of the Wufu Stone!

Yan Feng also sneered: "Mr. Xiaolu, the people here have been dealing with Wufu Stone for generations, and they are much more familiar with this kind of thing than you. This is not the stone shell of the Wufu stone. What else could it be?"

Huwa narrowed her eyes and said, "It's because it's too familiar and you can recognize it at a glance, so you won't pay too much attention to it." When I saw it on the first day I visited the market, I thought it was made of a stone shell of a martial stone, but I always felt that something was wrong. Its physical properties are different from all the stone shell artifacts in the bazaar, and it is closer to Takefu's stone, but it is also different. ”

Yan Feng interjected again: "Your feeling is normal, what's so strange about this? Precipitated impurities are produced by seeping into the surrounding rocks. The more thoroughly the impurities are precipitated, the purer the stone will be, and the surrounding rock formations are different, and of course the physical properties are different. ”

Huwa ignored his words and still said, "The next day, I studied the Wufu stones in the shop and the various stone shells on the stalls. Then I came to observe the sword embryo. It was found that although it was a stone shell, its physical properties were very simple, like the purest stone shell, and like the most impure martial arts stone. ”

He spoke in a small voice. But the people around can hear it. The old man who sold the goods raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and said, "I have the impression that this little gentleman will come to me every day for the past three days." Every time, I took the sword embryo and touched it for a long time. ”

Huwa smiled and continued, "On the third day, which was yesterday, I came again. Pick up this sword embryo and sense it, and suddenly understand what it is!"

These words have aroused everyone's interest, and everyone asks in unison, "What is it?"

Huwa explained unhurriedly: "Wufu Stone was naturally created and bred in the depths of the underground rock formations in a long ancient era, but who of you has seen it at the beginning of its gestation and has not yet taken shape? The material of this sword embryo is the real Pushi, that is, the original source stone.

It does not precipitate any of the so-called impurities into the surrounding rock formations, which are contained in the so-called Takefu Stone. So it is itself the purest stone shell, and at the same time it is a whole piece of unformed Wufu stone. An elder once told me that everything in heaven and earth has its own texture, and the texture is also changing. And the texture I felt from the sword embryo was the original origin of the Wufu stone. ”

Hanxiong asked, "Then what is the spiritual use of it?"

Huwa glanced at the old man selling the goods, and muttered: "If I say it, I wonder if this old man will raise the price?"

The old man shook his head and said: "I said a long time ago, this is a sword embryo created by the essence of the martial arts stone, you masters with supernatural cultivation can use it to refine the magic weapon, so the group fight is only offered at this price! Since I have already quoted the price, how can there be any reason to sit on the ground and repent? But if you come again next time, I am afraid that the price will increase!"

Huwa had to smile bitterly, he already knew how this old man did business. He had come three days before, and the old man offered to quote him three times, each time higher than the other, as if the more hesitant the buyer, the more expensive he would sell. So today, he simply didn't come forward to ask the price, it was Hanxiong who went over to ask first. The old man reported to Hanxiong the price for the first time for the tiger baby.

At this time, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind, took the sword embryo and said, "Let me see...... Old man, I bought this sword. ”

Everyone looked back and saw that it was actually the owner of the shop just now. This boss is also a monk, and it seems that his cultivation is not low, and he has been following everyone to watch the excitement. He also heard what the tiger baby said, and sensed it with his divine sense, and sure enough, he found that there was something special about this sword embryo, so he made the first move.

Hanxiong shouted dissatisfiedly: "It's obvious that I took a fancy to it first, and I want to buy it too, how can you grab it?"

The shopkeeper said, "I didn't rob you! At this moment, the sword embryo is in my hand, and you haven't paid yet, so if I want to buy it, I will buy it first." ”

Hanxiong took a step forward and rolled up his sleeves to "theorize" with the boss. Huwa grabbed Hanxiong unhurriedly, and asked the boss with a smile: "This gentleman, did you bring any money?"

The boss was dressed in clothes, and his face changed slightly, he was in a hurry from the store just now, and of course he didn't have any money with him. In fact, Huwa had long known that he was following behind, and also knew that he didn't have time to take the money. The price offered by the old man is not a small amount, and no one will have so much money on him. The only people present who can take it out are Hanxiong except for the tiger baby.

Hanxiong's reaction was also very fast, and he immediately took out a yellow, orange and orange gold ingot from his arms, his burly figure and hands were also very large, and he put a handful of gold in front of the old man's eyes and said, "Old man, pay you, I bought the sword." ”

He didn't look at the amount of gold, it was enough anyway. The old man took out a few pieces and returned them to him, saying, "This gentleman, you have given too much, take these back." …… The mountain goods and linen on the ground are all sent to you, and you can just wrap them up and take them away. ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly shouted, "Don't worry, old man! Wait a while, I'll go back and get the money, and I can give you double the price!"

The old man shook his head and said, "If I am so untrustworthy, do I still want to do business? Who will want to deal with me in the future...... I have already received the money, and the sword is already this gentleman's. If you want to buy it for double the price, then discuss it with him. ”

Hanxiong didn't expect that after listening to Huwa's persuasion today, he would have such a big benefit! Even if he didn't keep the sword embryo himself, he would be able to make a lot of money if he made another move in the blink of an eye. He snatched the sword embryo from the boss's hand and said, "Bring my things! I keep this sword embryo for myself, no matter how much money you pay, I won't sell it!" Then he turned to Huwa and said, "Mr. Xiaolu, what is the spiritual use of this thing, can you tell it?"

Huwa smiled and nodded, and explained in great detail-

If this thing is in the depths of the underground rock layer, in a suitable environment, after a long period of natural creation, it may be able to form a stone crust in the surrounding rock layer, and the most central thing left is the Wufu Mei Stone, whether it is pure or not depends on whether this process is completed, which may be equivalent to the natural "refining" process of heaven and earth.

But this stone, which can only appear in the depths of the underground rock layers, unexpectedly appeared on the surface for some reason. It's rare, it's uniquely useful, it's something that can be created. Natural creation is just one of the ways in which it is transformed into a Takefumi stone and a thick crust wrapped around it.

If the mana is used to refine the warm cultivation stone, the mana applied will replace the natural creation, and it will show different changes as the realm of the cultivator becomes higher and higher. In other words, this thing can not only be refined into a magic weapon, but also a magic weapon that can grow with the realm of the cultivator himself. According to its natural shape, it is of course most suitable for refining into a sword.

What's even more rare is that this stone has not undergone any natural creation process, and no one has ever sacrificed it with mana. If someone cultivates this sword embryo from the beginning, the process will not stop and their cultivation will become higher and higher, and it will continue to grow into a low-grade treasure, a middle-grade treasure, a high-grade treasure, a lower-grade weapon, a medium-grade weapon, and a high-grade weapon.

If the cultivator one day completes the Nine Transformations of the Realm and finally crosses the path to heaven, this sword will also accompany him as an artifact, and naturally leave his divine soul imprint. So, this is the embryo of a divine sword! Although it is still just a stone, neither a treasure nor an illegal weapon, but in the eyes of Huwa, it is better than all the swords in Fang Cai's shop.
