Chapter 2 The Jewel of Destiny
"Huh?"
Zhang Luo was shocked.
It has been more than two years since he discovered this bead, and this bead has not moved except for absorbing spiritual energy, and now it is the first time that there is an abnormality.
The red light illuminated Zhang Luo's dantian red, and then through his internal organs, bones, blood, muscles, and skin......
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Luo's whole person was filled with a red light, and this light continued to spread into the void, connecting with some invisible things in the underworld.
After a while, the red light completely dissipated, and Zhang Luo's consciousness had an extra piece of information out of thin air:
"Decide the lives of all beings, gather the momentum of the world, this is the fate of the pearl!"
The red bead in his dantian is called the 'Destiny Bead'.
Immortal cultivators seek transcendence, and they do not care about all sentient beings, nor do they care about the mundane world, they only seek to return the great power to their own bodies.
But this life bead does the opposite, attaches importance to the power of sentient beings, and wants to establish its own power in the mortal world, the stronger its own power, the more people can decide the fate of the people, the life power bead can obtain stronger power, so as to 'attain enlightenment'.
To put it simply, the greater Zhang Luo's power in the world, the higher his cultivation will be, and the more benefits he will get!
"Isn't this bead just right for this era of the end of the law?"
Zhang Luo was very pleasantly surprised.
If it was in the era of prosperity in cultivating immortals, the 'Dao' of the Fortune Bead could only be regarded as a small path, and the vast majority of immortal cultivators disdained it.
However, in this era of the end of the Dharma, the power of monks is weakening, the power of science and technology is increasing, and the power of the mortal world is becoming more and more important.
Just like Zhang Luo said to Ah Hao, when you come out to mix, you have to talk about power and background!
After absorbing enough aura, the life force bead has been officially opened, and Zhang Luo is recognized as the master, at this time, Zhang Luo can clearly perceive that he is connected with an invisible thing in the underworld through this life force bead.
The scope of this invisible thing was very wide, covering a certain area of the Dragon Horn District, which happened to be his sphere of influence, and he could feel the existence of countless stars in this area like candlelight.
"Is this my power in this world?"
As the deputy hall master of Longwumen, Zhang Luo naturally has a certain amount of power, hundreds of brothers under his command follow him to eat, and the fate of tens of thousands of people is involved with him.
The countless dotted 'candlelight' should represent tens of thousands of people on his territory.
Zhang Luo found that he could now see the inside of the Destiny Bead, at this time, the lower half of the bead was bright red, and the upper half was dark red.
According to the information he had just obtained, when the entire life force bead turned bright red, it was considered to have completed an evolution.
His current power can only make the Destiny Bead evolve halfway, and if his power can be further improved, the evolution of the Destiny Bead can continue to rise.
It's just that the current level of fate beads can already bring benefits to Zhang Luo:
The Destiny Bead had established a connection with a certain void, and was pulling wisps of spiritual energy out of the void and appearing in Zhang Luo's dantian.
According to the information he had just obtained, Zhang Luo knew that this was the most basic function of the Destiny Bead: to draw spiritual energy from the void.
This function is not very powerful if it is placed in the era of Immortal Dao Dachang, because there is an inexhaustible aura between heaven and earth.
But now is the era of the end of the law, there is no longer any spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and the monk can only obtain spiritual energy through spiritual crystals.
And Zhang Luo has a destiny bead, it is like a person who has a world with endless aura!
The Fortune Bead continuously produces aura, which is a steady stream of wealth, because spirit crystals are a necessity for cultivation, and each spirit crystal is worth a lot of money.
In addition, the aura drawn from the void by the life force bead is very mild, and Zhang Luo's body has reached the limit, but at this time, he can continue to use this void aura for cultivation.
This means that he can have a longer cultivation time every day, and his cultivation speed will be greatly improved!
"I wonder what the Destiny Bead will look like after it is upgraded?"
A flash of heat flashed in Zhang Luo's eyes.
He is not willing to be mediocre, in his previous life, he stood on the top of the pyramid step by step, in this life to this world where he can cultivate immortals, he is also unwilling to be lonely, and now he has a destiny bead, if you don't go to see the scenery on the top of the mountain, wouldn't it be in vain to come to this life?
......
Old Factory Street.
There used to be the largest refining factory in Falling Dragon City, which was the industry of Jinyuan Pavilion.
More than seventy percent of the magic artifacts in Falling Dragon City came from this refinery, so there was the largest auction house and various entertainment industries in Falling Dragon City on this street.
However, with a big battle between Longwumen and Jinyuan Pavilion seven years ago, all this prosperity was burned.
Jin Yuan Pavilion lost the battle, and also lost this territory, destroying all the magic circles in the refinery before withdrawing, leaving only a ruin in Longwu Gate.
Longwumen was not good at refining weapons in the first place, so he had no plans to rebuild the refinery, and in the end, this street slowly became the old factory street.
Today's Jiuchang Street is operated by Longwumen, although it is no longer prosperous, but it still has its way to make money.
A splendid hall is full of people, with wealthy merchants holding dignified and elegant women, and female companions holding flowers and branches in and out of this hall.
On the signboard outside the hall are written a few big words - Longwu Cinema.
This theater is the property of Longwumen, more precisely, the industry of the deputy hall of Longwumen, Longjiao District.
Movies are a product of the rise of the last year, and like suits, they are all passed from the Western Continent.
At the beginning, the major forces in Falling Dragon City did not pay much attention to movies, but Zhang Luo took the lead in introducing relevant equipment and films after learning the news, and then spent a lot of money to establish the first cinema in Falling Dragon City, that is, this Dragon Martial Arts Theater.
Not long after, the Longwu Theater was almost full, and Zhang Luo made a lot of money, so the major forces imitated it and began to build cinemas in various districts.
However, Longwu Cinema is still the most famous and hottest cinema in Falling Dragon City with its initial reputation and accurate vision for film selection, and many people would rather come to Longwu Cinema across several districts to watch movies.
A man in a gray coat and a black round hat first looked around the entrance of the theater lobby, and then walked briskly into the hall with his head down.
Instead of going to the ticket window or to the check-in place, he walked to the corner of the hall, where there was a corridor at the end of which there was an elevator in front of which stood a man in a black robe.
"Sir, you won't be allowed in here."
When the visitor walked to the elevator, the man in the long shirt reached out and stopped the visitor.
The visitor raised his head and showed a flattering smile:
"This eldest brother, I was introduced by Third Brother Xue, and I want to see Master Long."
"Wait."
The man in the robe looked at the visitor, left a word, and then turned and walked to the wooden table next to him, on which there was a telephone with a dial dial.
After making a call from the telephone, the man walked back to the elevator and said to the visitor:
"Go up to the third floor."
"Thank you! Thank you! ”
The visitor hurriedly thanked him, and then took the elevator upstairs.
After reaching the third floor, someone waited outside the elevator door and led him into an office.
At his desk, Long Yan was reading the financial statements of Longwu Cinema for this month.
This Zhang Luo's henchman gives people a very ruthless feeling even when his face is expressionless, like a poisonous snake entrenched in the shadows.
"Brother Long, people brought it."
"Hmm."
Long Yan put down the financial statements in his hand and looked at the person who came, and the other party immediately bent down, showing a flattering look:
"Master Long, I was introduced by Third Brother Xue, and my name is Chen Wei."
"Xue San said you have the goods in your hand?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Let's take a look."
Without saying a word, Chen Wei took out a wooden box from his arms, stepped forward, carefully placed it on Long Yan's desk, and then opened the wooden box, inside was an egg-sized, black stone.
......
In the practice room, Zhang Luo slowly opened his eyes and ended today's cultivation.
This is the third day that he has opened the Destiny Bead, and he has fully experienced the benefits brought by the Destiny Bead.
The Destiny Bead will continue to pull the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from the void, but each time it is pulled, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is too small, so Zhang Luo plans to use these Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to cultivate after accumulating a lot.
After accumulating like this for three days, the amount of heaven and earth aura is roughly equivalent to about thirty percent of the aura of a spirit crystal.
In other words, every ten days, Zhang Luo can earn a spirit crystal!
Because the spirit crystal is a necessity for cultivation, the spirit crystal has long been linked to the monetary system of this world, and it is a hard currency that can be used to pay wherever you go.
The entire aura in a standard spirit crystal is considered to be one spirit element, and within the sphere of influence ruled by the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance, one spirit yuan can probably be exchanged for more than eight thousand silver dollars.
In Falling Dragon City, an ordinary person's annual income is about three thousand silver dollars, which means that an ordinary person has to go without eating or drinking for more than two years to earn enough money for a spirit crystal.
"If you want to cultivate immortals, it's not enough to be talented, you have to be fucking rich!"
This sentence was told to him by the person who led Zhang Luo on the path of cultivation in the first place.
Now Zhang Luo has a deep understanding.
There are a total of nine realms of cultivating immortals, which are divided into three levels, the upper three realms and the middle three realms, not to mention the first two realms of the lower three realms, which are actually a process of accumulating small amounts and constantly consuming resources.
The first realm of spiritual attraction is to draw the vitality of heaven and earth into the body, and at the same time refine the body, the spiritual energy is introduced into the dantian, constantly expanding the dantian, and opening up the sea of true yuan.
As long as you have the physique of cultivating immortals, the body will not have a rejection reaction to the aura, and you can use the spirit crystal to complete the cultivation of this realm, but the tolerance of the individual physique to the aura is different, and the time required for this realm will be different.
Generally speaking, about ten spirit yuan of spiritual energy is enough to open up the sea of true yuan, so as to enter the second realm of cultivation - Na Yuan.
The cultivation of this realm is not much different from the first realm of spiritual attraction, and you need to constantly absorb spiritual energy and turn it into true yuan, expanding your own sea of true yuan.
Now Zhang Luo is a cultivator in the middle of the Nayuan Realm, and he has consumed one hundred and twenty-six spirit crystals along the way, and if it is converted into money, it has already exceeded one million silver dollars!
That is, Zhang Luo has experience in his previous life and has a wealth of means to make money, so that he can earn so much money in just a few years.
In fact, under normal circumstances, more than 120 spirit crystals are enough for a monk to cultivate from the early stage of the Spirit Attraction Realm to the peak of the Nayuan Realm, Zhang Luo is because there is a fate bead in his body to divide his spiritual energy, so the number of spirit crystals consumed has doubled, and the cultivation progress has slowed down a lot.
But now these are no longer a problem, Zhang Luo's cultivation speed has skyrocketed, and with the assistance of the Destiny Bead, he feels that his current cultivation speed may not be inferior to those geniuses in the door!
Satisfied, I left the practice room, and as soon as I sat down, the phone in the office rang.
"Hello?"
"Brother Luo."
Long Yan's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What's the matter?"
"I just received a new film here, would you like to come and watch it?"
"New film? What about the quality? ”
"In your words, this piece has a high artistic component."
