That afternoon, Huang Chang, Murong Ying, Wu Daniu, and Ji Ruo's four good friends did not go to the dining hall to eat as usual, but gathered in Huang Chang's room and sat around a small hot pot that suddenly bubbled. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoExcept for Huang Chang who was busy cleaning up the dishes, the other three were all holding chopsticks, salivating at the delicious food in the hot pot that exuded an attractive aroma, just waiting for Huang Chang to say "Okay", and then they were about to take a big gulp.

This was a small celebratory banquet to celebrate that Ji Ruo had finally broken through the induction barrier and officially embarked on the path of cultivating immortals. Although the amount of food provided in the sect was sufficient, the taste was not good, and the masters in the canteen only thought about how to benefit the monk's body when cooking, and did not pay much attention to the taste. No matter how good the medicinal diet is, it will taste greasy if you eat too much.

So Huang Chang and the others came up with their own ideas to be self-reliant, and the ingredients were not difficult to make, so they went to the canteen to help with chores, and called a few more senior brothers with sweet mouths, and those serving disciples also turned a blind eye. Although these people are not very good at cooking, Huang Chang at least knows how to make hot pot, and everyone is scrambling to grab it from the pot to eat, and their appetite is better.

Several people laughed and played around while eating for a while, and then said hello to Ji Ruo. Originally, if Ji didn't want to make such a show, she was afraid that Huang Chang would be unhappy. But the latter behaved happier than herself, insisting on arranging it, and Ji Ruo couldn't resist him, so she had to obey.

And Huang Chang's worries about Ji Ruo also talked to her heartily:

"Ruoruo, in all fairness, do you think I won't be able to pass this little first hurdle?"

"Of course not, Brother Ah Chang is the best!"

Ji Ruo said without hesitation, Huang Chang laughed and patted Ji Ruo's little head:

"yes, that's what I thought myself. The two of us alone talked about the spiritual root talent, and originally we couldn't meet the requirements of the sect to accept disciples. I was able to enter because I had two lifetimes of wisdom and a clever head. And you are because of the identity of the Great Zhou Imperial Family-my wisdom and mind can play a great role in the future cultivation process, but your identity will not help you much. So, Ruoruo, among the four of us, you are the most worried, and now that even you have made a breakthrough, then what am I worried about?"

Ji Ruo gritted his teeth when he said it, but he finally let go of that faint guilt completely, and he was very happy at this time.

"That's right!"

Huang Chang suddenly remembered something, turned his head and took out a small box from the bedside table, poured out a few stones with strange light from it, and handed them to Ji Ruo:

"Ruoruo, since you have broken through the induction level, you will have to advance by leaps and bounds next, you can use these spirit stones first, anyway, I can't use them for the time being. ”

-- These shining stones are the famous fairy realm spirit stones, which were formed countless years ago, when the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was still extremely abundant, and a large amount of them were condensed into the ground. Although the aura is ethereal, these spirit stones can be seen and touched. It is very wonderful that although the quality of the spirit stone is high and low, there are three grades, but the amount of spiritual energy contained in the same grade of spiritual stone is almost exactly the same, this characteristic leads to the spiritual stone being used as two uses in the world of cultivating immortals: one is the unit of measurement of spiritual energy, speaking of how much spiritual energy, it is equivalent to how many spiritual stones, or how many spirits. Another use is as currency, circulating and exchanging among immortal cultivators. Usually, the lower grade spirit stone is used as the base currency unit, and the upper grade and the middle grade are converted separately.

However, unlike the popular currencies such as gold and silver in the world, the spirit stone itself is also a very important material in the fairy world. The spirit stone contains a large amount of extremely condensed ancient aura, and immortal cultivators can directly absorb it for their own use - but except for some emergency situations to quickly recover mana, almost no one will do this, because it is too wasteful, and absorbing heaven and earth aura from the surrounding environment can have the same effect, but it will take a little longer. Even for the most beginner level immortal cultivators, after meditating for three or four hours, they could almost absorb the spiritual power contained in a single spirit stone, and the value of the spirit stone itself far exceeded the amount of time it took them. Unless you encounter a situation where you can't use the natural aura around you, you have to rely on spirit stones to provide a source of aura.

The main use of spirit stones is to use them as a certain source of energy - all those that use spiritual energy to drive such as magic weapons, formations, puppets, and even some demon beasts need to consume spirit stones, and sometimes monks cast advanced spells beyond their own ability, and their own mana cannot keep up, and they also need to hold spirit stones in their hands to replenish spiritual power at any time.

Therefore, the importance of spirit stones to immortal cultivators is not overemphasized, in ancient times, monks used natural spirit stones directly, and at that time, a very important indicator to measure the strength of the major immortal sects was to see the number of spirit stone veins they had. Spirit stones are both consumables and trading currency, and they are used in large quantities on a daily basis. Generally, if a medium-sized sect or above does not have its own spirit stone vein, it will not be able to support it at all. And if the vast number of small sects did not have a spirit stone mine, those days would be even more difficult.

However, in today's immortal cultivation world, the situation is slightly different - I don't know when a technology called "Spirit Condensation Array" appeared in the immortal cultivation world, which can forcibly condense the free spiritual energy in a place where the spiritual energy is abundant, and artificially create spiritual stones. These artificial spirit stones not only have the same aura content as the original natural ones. And even the size and shape are the same. There is no difference in the use, while the sources are much wider.

It is precisely because of the existence of the "Spirit Condensation Array" technology that so many small and medium-sized sects will emerge today - although there are not many spiritual stone veins in the immortal cultivation world today, there are still many places full of spiritual energy. In this side there is a spiritual world, and aura is not a non-renewable resource, and it can be slowly restored after consumption. For example, in a place where the vegetation is verdant, a large amount of wood aura will naturally be generated, a steady stream of violent fire aura will always be spewed out from the crater, there will be gold aura enrichment near metal ore veins, earth aura masses are often hidden in the depths of the earth, and near rivers and lakes, there must be a place where water aura gathers...... Those immortal sects and clans, no matter their size, as long as they can occupy a piece of such a spiritually rich land and set up a spirit condensing array, they can have a fixed income of spirit stones, and their output is determined according to the local spiritual energy wealth and the collection efficiency of the spirit condensing array.

- The collection efficiency of the circle can be adjusted, and in most cases it will be set in a relatively low range, that is, within the recovery range of the local aura, so that the circle can continuously produce spirit stones. Of course, in some special cases, you can also forcibly increase the collection efficiency and obtain a large number of spirit stones in a short period of time. However, as a result of this predatory exploitation, the surrounding environment was completely destroyed, and it has since become a land of no ghosts. So unless they are sure that they can't occupy this place for long, they just get a vote and leave, and the controllers of the circle rarely do this.
