Chapter 3: Dragon's Blood Stone

The method that Jiang Yu thought of was very simple, that is, quarrying stones or collecting medicine. Of course, it should be better to buy and sell, but although he has the vision for this kind of thing, he has no capital. And not all of them are really literate.

It was the middle of winter, in addition to the medicine gardens of various families, the wild grass was already extinct, and it was naturally impossible to collect medicines, and there was only one way in front of Jiang Yu, that is, to quarry.

Spirit stones have many uses, and the two main uses are to assist in cultivation and alchemy. The former Jiang Yu is the most familiar with, the cultivators of the Jiang family, there are many people who are not satisfied with the cultivation of the sword washing technique, so when cultivating, they will use some stones with spiritual energy, absorb the spiritual energy on the spiritual stones, and then improve the results of cultivation.

The source of the spirit stone is mainly excavated by mining caves. In the south of Tianfeng City, there are dozens of mines that have been abandoned for decades, and that is Jiang Yu's goal.

Just do it, Jiang Yu returned home, found a dilapidated iron pickaxe and went out. After arriving at the mine, Jiang Yu realized that things were far from being as simple as he thought. These dozens of mines, after decades of screening by miners from all walks of life, the spirit stones with spiritual energy have long been smelted, and they are so easy to be picked up by him. He walked through the cold cave with a fire, and after searching for two or three hours, he found a small piece of spirit stone with a pale green glow. After Jiang Yu dug down the stone, he realized that the stone was just a spiritual stone that had spiritual energy, but did not enter the stream.

With the aura it contains, the spirit stone is divided into four levels of heaven and earth, and each level is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. Only the spirit stones with yellow characters are valuable, like this spirit stone that is not even under the yellow characters, it will only be sold for dozens of dollars at most. Even so, Jiang Yu still carefully carried the unflowing spirit stone into his arms. After all, it is considered a bit of gain, you must know that such a stone is already worth a few days' wages for Xiaoruo.

Jiang Yu groped back and forth in various mines, and for a whole afternoon, he found a total of five or six spirit stones that did not enter the stream, but there was no one, but Jiang Yu was already very satisfied, at least with these spirit stones, Xiao Ruo didn't have to go out to work anymore. When he was about to pack up and leave, he suddenly noticed a flash of red light in front of him, he was stunned, and looked carefully ahead, and saw that in the distance, there was a strong red aura dazzling.

Jiang Yu was surprised, the rarest aura he had seen before was only pale yellow, and such a dazzling red light had never been seen before. Jiang Yu walked all the way towards the red light, but almost crashed into the wall of the mine. It turned out that the red light actually came out through the wall, and the spirit stone that really emitted red light was far away from the wall.

"No wonder no one found out. Jiang Yu lowered his heart, waving the iron pickaxe in his hand and planing it one by one, each time he could only gouge down a little stone, clanging, but he had been planing for a long time, but he never saw the shadow of the spirit stone, and his hands were full of big bubbles, and what was even worse was that the broken iron pickaxe in his hand was also broken. Jiang Yu roughly calculated that it was not early, and if he didn't go back, I was afraid that Xiao Ruo would worry about himself. He simply remembered the location of the mine and went back the way he came.

Before Jiang Yu arrived at home, he saw Xiao Ruo already guarding the door and looking around. When she saw Jiang Yu, she immediately rushed over, almost habitually supporting Jiang Yu to walk. Jiang Yu didn't push her away, and the two returned to the house together.

At this time, Jiang Yu's house was red, and although the house was surrounded by walls, Jiang Yu still felt warm in his heart.

"Young master, where have you been, I'm worried about death. Xiao Ruo said as she brought the hot meal to Jiang Yu to eat. Jiang Yu briefly said that he went to the mine to mine. Xiao Ruo was stunned for a moment and said, "Young Master, how can you go to that kind of place." "As far as the Jiang family is concerned, mining is something that is done by subordinates, and it is definitely not something that a young master like Jiang Yu should do, Xiao Ruo naturally sees it this way.

"What can't I do, I can't rely on you for the rest of my life, that's really useless!" Jiang Yu took out the few non-flowing spirit stones from his waist as he spoke, and said, "These are today's harvests, I will take them out and sell them tomorrow, it is estimated that a hundred yuan will definitely be there." You don't have to go out and work hard. ”

Xiao Ruo picked up those stones and looked at them, Xiao Ruo didn't know the exercises, these stones were no different from ordinary stubborn stones in her eyes, she didn't believe that such stones could be sold for so much money.

"Did you say everything I asked you to say?" Jiang Yu asked Xiang Xiaoruo.

"Yes, but they didn't believe it. Xiao Ruo looked at Jiang Yu and replied.

"It's okay if you don't believe it, just talk too much. Jiang Yuxin said that he couldn't go out with a swagger now, otherwise he would definitely attract suspicion, and Xiao Ruo would be able to go out justifiably after going out like this for ten days and half a month.

After eating, the two of them fell asleep separately, and they didn't say anything all night, what made Jiang Yu more concerned was that the Sky Weeping Sword Spirit under his bed had never appeared again.

The next day, Jiang Yu woke up and found that Xiao Ruo still left the food and went out to work. Jiang Yu was a little embarrassed, he knew that Xiao Ruo might still be a little worried, Jiang Yu thought that since this was the case, he had to work harder.

"I'm going to dig you out today!" Jiang Yu had been thinking about the red-glowing spirit stone in his mind since he came back.

Jiang Yu was still dressed yesterday, and with those few spirit stones that did not enter the stream, he came to Tianfeng City, the largest spiritual weapon pawn shop. The spiritual pawnshop is different from the general pawnshop, it does not accept sundries, even gold and silver utensils, only things related to aura, such as rare medicinal materials and spirit stones, famous swords and knives, magic weapon cheats, etc., the owner of this pawnshop is the Zhou family of Tianfeng City, if you talk about strength, the Jiang family is the first in Tianfeng City, and if you talk about financial resources, the Zhou family is second to none.

"Chaofeng, look at how much these stones are worth. Jiang Yu placed those spirit stones on the counter. The shopkeeper at the counter just glanced at it, then took out a mirror and looked at it repeatedly. Said: "The tattered spirit stone that does not enter the stream, ten dollars a piece." ”

"Why is it only ten dollars?" Jiang Yuxin said that this pawnshop is too dark.

The shopkeeper didn't raise his eyes, and said: "This spirit stone that does not enter the stream, there is no way to use it to assist cultivation, it can only be used as a cushion furnace, this value is already very fair." ”

The so-called cushion furnace refers to the materials used to practice alchemy when novices are alchemizing.

"Can you have more?" Jiang Yu asked.

"At this price, will you sell it?" asked the shopkeeper impatiently. The so-called shopkeeper bullied customers, Jiang Yu was helpless, waved his hand, and said, "Sell it, sell it!" The shopkeeper casually flipped out fifty dollars and threw it on the counter. Jiang Yu roughly counted it, and then picked it up.

Fifty yuan was enough for him and Xiao Ruo to eat two good meals, but Jiang Yu was not satisfied with this. He roughly calculated that a good iron pickaxe would cost about thirty dollars. When he went to the blacksmith's shop and inquired, it was indeed about the same as he estimated, and an iron pickaxe cost twenty-seven dollars, so he finally bought two iron pickaxes for fifty dollars.

Jiang Yu, who was carrying two iron pickaxes and wearing a hat, was very eye-catching, but Jiang Yu didn't care about these and went straight to the mine yesterday. Without saying a word, keep digging up.

He dug with all his might, digging two feet forward, but found that he still hadn't dug up.

"Strange, how deep is this thing!" Jiang Yu, who was sitting in the mine, gasped for breath. After resting for a while, he felt a little nervous, and said that if he didn't dig it out this time, he wouldn't leave. Having made up his mind, Jiang Yu dug up continuously, regardless of whether it was black or white outside.

After digging for I don't know how long, Jiang Yu estimated that he had dug about six or seven feet, and the spirit stone finally revealed his sharp corner, and the red light was even more dazzling. But he was afraid of hurting the spirit stone, so although he was quick to get the pickaxe, he was very careful.

"I don't think you can come down yet!" Jiang Yu used his last strength to finally pull out the spirit stone from the crack in the stone. Jiang Yu turned over, held the stone in his arms, and collapsed on the ground gasping for air. At the same time, he looked at the spirit stone in his arms with satisfaction.

The spirit stone could almost be held with one hand, the whole body was red, translucent, in Jiang Yu's eyes, it was full of red light, very good-looking. And Jiang Yu also found that the aura of this spirit stone could not only be seen, but also the hand holding it, and he could also feel a little aura flowing.

"What a good thing. Jiang Yuxin said that he was not yet in the Spirit Water Realm, and it was a pity that he could not absorb the spiritual energy in the Spirit Stone. He couldn't be sure of the grade of this spirit stone, but the grade of this spirit stone must not be low, and absorbing the spiritual energy in it would definitely make great progress in his cultivation.

"Keep it for now. Jiang Yuxin said that this spirit stone is rare, and it would be a pity to really sell it, so it is better to keep it first, wait for yourself to reach the spiritual water realm in the future, and then absorb the spiritual energy in it for your own use. He lay down for a long time, and finally relieved himself, and suddenly thought that he had come here to tile this spirit stone, I don't know how long, Xiao Ruo was not waiting to go crazy at home.

Jiang Yu picked up the stone, and as soon as he staggered out of the mine, he heard someone shouting in the distance: "Young master, young master, are you here?"

"Xiao Ruo!" Jiang Yu shouted with all his might, and then heard the sound of footsteps in the distance, Xiao Ruo rushed wildly, and when he saw Jiang Yu, he was overjoyed.

"Young master, you didn't come home for two days and two nights, you scared me to death. Xiao Ruo said worriedly while holding Jiang Yu.

"Two days, two nights...... It's been so long. At this time, Jiang Yu felt a gurgling in his stomach. Jiang Yu and Xiao Ruo returned home together, Xiao Ruo went to prepare the meal, and Jiang Yu took out the spirit stone and looked at it repeatedly.

There are dozens of faces on the spirit stone, crystal clear, and on each surface, there are strange lines, which looks like a kind of text.

"It's a good thing, I just don't know what the grade is. When Jiang Yu was looking at it, the sword spirit appeared in his heart again.

"Dragon's Blood Stone, you can find this kind of thing, you ......" The tone of the sword spirit seemed to be extremely incredible.

"Why, why can't I ...... Hey, why has your voice changed?" Jiang Yu suddenly realized that the voice of the old sword spirit in his heart had turned into a middle-aged man's deep voice today.

"My voice was uncertain, there was something curious. The sword spirit spoke a little slurred, as if he was a little nervous.

"Really?" Jiang Yu felt that this sword spirit's temper was strange, sometimes like a child, but his voice was as old as an old man.

"Where did you get this dragon's blood stone?" the sword spirit regained his old voice and asked seriously, in fact, he was more diverting the topic.

Hearing what the sword spirit asked, Jiang Yu said, "Naturally, it was dug up in the wild." ”

"Hell, how can this thing be so easy to dig up, only cutting stones can get this kind of exotic stone. The sword spirit was unconvinced.

Hearing that he didn't believe it, and heard him say that he cut the stone, Jiang Yu thought about it, this sword spirit was right, he didn't dig this stone out of a large stone wall.

"Since you know that his name is Dragon Blood Stone, how should you use it to assist in cultivation?"
