Chapter Seventy-Two: Source Stone
After Ling Lie left, although Ling Xi was a little unaccustomed to being alone, and occasionally felt a little uncomfortable, fortunately, he quickly adapted to living alone and was not affected much.
Because Ling Xi would disappear every once in a while or two, in the face of Ling Xi, who had disappeared for more than a month and then returned, the students of the Sunset Academy had long been surprised, but were guessing where Ling Xi's current strength was.
There are still rumors among the students that Ling Xi has a mysterious master, and the reason why Ling Xi disappears every once in a while for a month or two is to go to his master to cultivate, and some people say that Zeng Fan has already talked to Ling Xi and asked him to participate in the Hongling Empire Elite Conference three years later. In other words, Ling Xi had already booked a place in the Hongling Empire Elite Conference when he was in the first grade, and this kind of treatment was not even comparable to Zeng Fan's only disciple, Li Shuangyun, which showed how much the Sunset Academy valued Ling Xi.
Of course, Ling Xi didn't know the rumors among the Sunset students, even if he knew, he wouldn't say anything, he really had a mysterious master, but his master was his father, as for the so-called Hongling Empire Elite Conference, he was not interested at all, and he didn't think so far, he didn't even know where he would be in three years, let alone participate in the Hongling Empire's Elite Conference.
Ling Xi returned, the happiest people were Shi Zhuxue and Li Shuangyu, in the more than a month that Ling Xi was away, they felt that no matter what they did, they were so bored, if Ling Xi didn't come back, they would be bored to death.
Ling Xi is not there, Shi Zhuxue just feels bored, but Li Shuangyu is a little depressed, Ling Xi is only a little boring when she is not there for more than a month, in the future, Ling Xi and Shi Zhuxue will leave, and then she will be left alone in Sunset City, then she will not be bored to death, these days she can't help but think about how she came over so much time before.
Now that Ling Xi is back, Shi Zhuxue and Li Shuangyu don't have the heart to think about other things, the two of them are talking about where to let Ling Xi take them to play, but after knowing that Ling Lie is gone, they immediately lost interest.
Especially Shi Zhuxue, she was extremely surprised in her heart, although Ling Lie told her that she was going to leave Ling Xi, she didn't expect Ling Lie to leave so soon.
However, to the peace of mind of Shi Zhuxue and Li Shuangyu, Ling Xi's mental state seemed to be okay, and Ling Lie's departure did not have much impact on Ling Xi.
In the end, Shi Zhuxue and Li Shuangyu finally reached an agreement to go to the Sunset Forest to play, but Ling Xi said that he wanted to buy something and go to the Sunset Forest later, although Shi Zhuxue was a little unhappy, but he did not insist that Ling Xi go to the Sunset Forest.
Subsequently, the three of them went to the market area of Sunset City, where Ling Xi's main purpose was to buy some source stones.
The source stone is similar to the source crystal of the Yuan Beast, and it also contains a huge amount of seal power, but the two happen to be one little different, that is, the source stone contains the same power as the source crystal, and the source stone contains the power of the source stone is not only mild, but also very pure, so the seal power in the source stone can be directly absorbed.
It is precisely because of this difference that the source stones, which all contain a huge amount of printing power, have different uses, the source stones are used for the cultivation of seal cultivators, and the source crystals are used for various purposes of alchemy refiners.
Ling Xi bought the source stone for cultivation, in fact, he had long thought about buying some source stones, but he didn't have a space ring before, the source stone was relatively large and inconvenient to carry, plus he had to cultivate the Immortal Sword Technique, and there was no extra time to use for cultivation, so he was not in a hurry to buy the source stone, but now it was different, he had the space ring that Ling Lie gave him, and at the same time, he also had enough time for cultivation, so he remembered to buy some source stones to use, after all, with the assistance of the source stone, the cultivation speed would be much faster.
What made Ling Xi a little speechless was that he was still in the late stage of the Xuanyuan Seal, and Li Shuangyu had already reached the consummation of the Xuanyuan Seal, and there was a faint tendency to advance to the Vertical and Horizontal Seal, which was really more popular than the people.
In the market area of Sunset City, there are still quite a lot of shops selling source stones, as the saying goes, shop around, Ling Xi is not in a hurry to buy source stones, but compares which store's source stones are better, because the source stones are of good or bad quality, he doesn't want to buy some poor quality source stones for cultivation, those poor quality source stones with impure printing power are not only not helpful to the cultivation of the seal cultivator, but also will make the pure seal power of the seal repairer become mottled, thus affecting the foundation of the seal repairer, so Ling Xi will be so careful.
According to the amount of power contained in the source stone and the purity of the power of the source stone, it is divided into seven grades: lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, best grade, spiritual product, holy product and immortal product, of which a medium-grade source stone is about equivalent to a thousand lower-grade source stones, and a high-grade source stone is equivalent to a thousand medium-grade source stones, and the following grades are in this proportion.
Because Shi Zhuxue often goes to the market area to buy some gadgets to play, almost all the owners of each shop know Ling Xi and the three of them, and when they see them as if they want to buy source stones, they all wish they could come to their own shop to buy source stones, because although the price of source stones is not as good as source crystals, it is also a kind of expensive thing, plus Shi Zhuxue usually sells quite a lot of atmosphere, so every shop owner is eager to see Ling Xi and the three of them, as long as Ling Xi and the three of them can go to their store to buy some source stones, then they can make a lot of moneyใ
Of course, Ling Xi didn't know the calculation in the businessman's heart, and even if he knew, he wouldn't be angry because of it, after all, these businessmen were all treacherous and businessmen.
Ling Xi can be regarded as a rich man now, although he gave nearly half of the source crystals to the Silver Lion Beast Hunting Troupe, but the remaining half of the source crystals is also a lot of wealth, anyway, it is enough for him to buy the source stones today.
Ling Xi definitely didn't care much about Yuan Jing, if it was really bad money, he would have to go to the Sunset Forest to get some Yuan Jing back, anyway, the Sunset Forest didn't pose any threat to him, although he was not Haodiyin's opponent yet, but he couldn't keep him if he wanted to go Haodiyin.
In addition to Ling Xi's need to look at the source stone grade of each shop, he didn't enter the kind of shop with the word king at the door, because those shops were all shops under the hands of the royal government.
The palace holds the economic lifeline of Sunset City, and it will naturally not let go of the fat of the source stone, but there are not many shops that do the source stone business under the hands of the palace, so those source stone shops that have no power behind them have become the target of the palace, under the coercion and temptation of the palace, those source stone shops have to sign a treaty with the palace, the kind of unequal treaty in which the palace protects those shops in the name of beauty, and then obtains a commission from the income of the store.
In the previous ring match, Ling Xi and the palace had reached the point where they were incompatible, so now he tried not to go to the palace shop, so as not to make trouble for the palace to come to him.
After walking around for nearly a noon, Ling Xi exchanged seven or eight source crystals for more than twenty lower-grade source stones, and these source stones should be enough for him at present.
After buying the source stone, Ling Xi thought about turning around for a while and leaving, but Shi Zhuxue stopped in front of a shop in the palace, a trace of cunning flashed on her pretty face, and she said with a smile:
"Brother Ling Xi, there are good things in it, let's go in and take a look. โ
