Chapter Forty-Nine: The Great Windmill Squeaks and Turns
Waiting for the most painful.
Especially waiting for the results of a test that may be the inflection point of the Daosheng.
Li Changan is very calm.
In the past seven days, there has been no anxiety, but the whole person has been slightly quieter than usual.
He meditated, breathed, and cultivated his qi step by step, and although he knew that he could not cultivate the sea of qi with this, he really thought that it was always right to do more homework.
Take an hour every day to observe the operation of the waterwheel, and replace and replenish it in time after the effect of the [Fixing Talisman] in the barrel is weakened;
In addition, with the remaining parts that were originally intended to be used for spare but turned out to be surplus, I pieced together two simple gadgets with a simple style.
Finally, the seventh day.
As soon as the morning class ended, Ah Zi didn't play role-playing anymore, completely ignored the various styles of male cultivators who circled around her after class, and rushed out of the door impatiently;
Gongsun Tuo was not as polite as usual, scribbled to Deacon Fayun, and turned around and walked out of Daming Hall.
Holding the senior brother on the left and right, he flew towards his own suspended mountain at the fastest speed he could reach.
Sad Cry Peak, Lu Lao Dao just walked out of the Dan room, the three apprentices stepped forward to salute as soon as they landed, Lao Dao smiled and squinted, and said, "Go." ”
On the grass next to the waterfall by the lake, Lu Laodao shook off the dust, and a fairy light was sent, and the waterfall that was led to the top of the waterwheel was suddenly withdrawn.
A few more wisps of fairy light were like ropes woven by mist, tying up more than a dozen wooden barrels containing spirit stones on the big waterwheel and sending them to the four of them one by one.
More than a dozen net-like bags automatically untied the sigils, and countless spirit stones flew out of the bags, supporting them in the air in front of the four people, like a fishing net woven with spirit stones, shining with a crystal clear luster in the sun, which was very beautiful.
The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.
Ah Zi and Gongsun Tuo were burned by the shining spirit stone suspended by this Fu Chen, and they exclaimed from time to time;
Lu Laodao and Li Changan, on the other hand, looked at each other after carefully checking all the processed spirit stones, nodded in unison, and smiled knowingly.
Lu Laodao smiled, [Good apprentice, it's really a wonderful idea. There is such a skill to create such a quenchable spirit stone. It's amazing, it's amazing!]
Li Changan's thoughts were much simpler, and he smiled at [Master, big, hair, la!]
The most common technique is to divide the spirit stone into small grains, put them into the wooden barrel of the waterwheel, and use the waterfall water flow to wash the spirit stones that are cut into small grains in the bucket;
Each barrel contains a [Fixing Talisman], which is equivalent to a sieve to filter out impurities such as ordinary minerals and turbidity, and the spirit stone particles that really contain spiritual power are not affected by washing.
Similarly, gold diggers sift out real gold ore from the sand.
After separation, the impurities in the crystal are precipitated and the spiritual power concentration is purified.
In the final analysis, the water flow of the waterfall also comes from the underground of the Sorrow Cry Peak, not to mention the spiritual power of a lot of underground spiritual veins.
Therefore, while washing, the flow of spiritual power water is constantly washing, which is equivalent to accelerating the process of accelerating the formation of ordinary spirit stones in the leylines.
However, the purity and clarity have improved, but I don't know if this total amount is as Li Changan expected.
"Wait here for a while, and then go to [Wanwu Hall] for silk. ”
Dropping this sentence, Lu Laodao shook the dust, shook his wide sleeves, put all the spirit stones into his sleeves, and flew away from the peak in the clouds.
Looking at the figure of Master Feiyuan, Li Changan began to feel a little nervous in his heart.
If the final result of the measurement does not meet expectations, it is equivalent to working in vain.
Just wait. If not, then think again.
.........
In a moment, Lu Laodao's voice came from mid-air outside the peak.
"Chang'an! Chang'an, I'm back. ”
But looking at Lu Laodao, his face was full of red light, as if he was a few years younger.
It's true, people are in good spirits at happy events, and the immortals collect the two 'unparalleled'.
Looking at the state of the master, Li Changan's slightly suspended heart fell back to its original position slightly.
"Master, have you picked up the treasure?" Ah Zixiao bent a pair of crescent moon eyes and asked in a crisp voice.
Lu Laodao will settle down and disperse the fairy clouds, but he actually walked out of the brisk girl's steps on tiptoe, and his old face with not many wrinkles is like a chrysanthemum blooming in the sun.
"The three of you are the living treasures of the silk father. "Lao Dao is so happy that he can't see his teeth.
He never expected that his great apprentice would be able to do such a thing.
Changan... Really grew up!
If you say before, although this apprentice is quite sensible, he also shows the playfulness and naughtiness that should be at this age from time to time. But since he knew the secret of his life experience, the whole person has changed a lot.
Thinking about it at that time, Lu Laodao had no ideas, but Chang'an himself, unflustered, calm and calm, much more stable than him, who was a master.
Knowing that he had no cultivation qualifications, he never said a word of discouragement and gave up.
Be diligent first, and never miss classes every day.
Not only is he diligent in his practice, but he also takes his younger brothers and sisters to listen to the morning class. also reminded him to pay attention to Xiao Tuo's anxious state of mind, how meticulous and thoughtful.
A boy who is only sixteen years old can be so thoughtful and mature in his heart!
Lu Laodao asked himself and felt guilty in his heart, all because he was a teacher who had no ability and no mind.
Three steps and two steps, the four masters and apprentices came to one place.
"It's done!" Lu Laodao shook off the dust, and said with a whisker: "The lower grade spirit stones have been removed from miscellaneous essences, and they have all been quenched and washed into medium-grade and second-grade spirit stones.
The deacon of [Wanwutang] made a calculation, after your five hundred and thirty-one lower-grade spirit stones were quenched and washed, they could be converted into six medium-grade and three second-grade spirit stones;
The thirty-six medium-grade spirit stones have not changed much, and according to the silk, it should be that the quenching time is insufficient.
Or, or..."
Or, this quenching method is only suitable for low-grade spirit stones with more impurities.
Li Chang'an's mind flashed, he was relieved, and smiled slightly at Lu Laodao, "The effect is better than expected, Master, in the future, we will be able to earn a lot of the treasure materials needed for alchemy." ”
Lu Laodao, who was so happy that he was about to laugh and crooked his mouth, blinked his old eyes suddenly, the smile at the corner of his mouth froze, his nose was red, and his eyes were slightly moist.
Changan... In order to earn the treasure material for alchemy, he took the trouble to build such a big waterwheel!
Li Changan was about to say, 'When Master refines the top-grade Nine Turns Pill, he can sell it for a good price and make a steady profit', when he suddenly found that Master's old face really showed the expression of 'My family has a child who has just become a child', and he knew that Master must have imagined a plot of father's love and filial piety again.
It's just that it's useless to say too much. Master's brain circuit has to fight with Gongsun Tuo, no matter how he explains it, he can't change the plot and the reason of the two brain supplements.
"Master, then the next thing is to ask you to move around more. ”
"Good, good. Say, "What are you going to do for silk?"
So and so and so and so and
Li Changan explained in detail the second step that he had planned before, three times.
Exhaustive.
Including but not limited to: the words spoken when exchanging spirit stones with the [Wanwutang] elders, as well as the tone of proportion to be paid attention to;
What words can never be said, others will smile and wave their hands when they ask;
And the look on your face when you wave your hand, the rhythm of playing haha, and so on...
The waterwheel washing stone method has achieved a small success in the initial stage of the first step.
As Li Changan had previously envisioned, this series of processes such as crushing stones, preserving spiritual power, and quenching is only suitable for low-grade spirit stones;
If you want to upgrade the medium-grade spirit stone, which has not many impurities, to the highest grade, this method is not advisable, and the only way to start is to start with the spiritual power content.
This difficulty is not ordinarily high, but it is not urgent.
If it is really so simple to upgrade the middle grade to the top grade, I am afraid it will not be his turn to pick up this leak.
Why is it a leak?
Spirit stones are not only hard currency among monks, but also daily practice, alchemy, array, refining... An indispensable must-have consumable.
Therefore, the Immortal Sects of the Great Dao Sects, which sit on the spiritual veins of Baoshan, all have departments dedicated to mining spirit stones.
For example, the [Wanwutang] of Wuji Immortal Mountain is an important responsible department that integrates various affairs such as spirit stone mining, grading and out-of-town procurement, and spirit stone circulation.
When it comes to the mining of spirit stones, we have to mention the history of blood and tears of the human race in ancient times.
At the beginning of the opening of heaven and earth and the beginning of chaos, the spiritual power of the Yuan Qi returned to the four seas and five continents, but it was not evenly distributed.
There are those that are so faint that there is no trace of it, and there are also those that are rich enough to fill the four wilds, and they are all the same.
The more intense the spiritual power of the Yuan Qi is, the more creatures of different races will be born.
In the beginning, there were no clear territorial boundaries as they are now, and each of them lived in peace and stability.
In ancient times, it was a period of dominating territory, grabbing resources, and determining the rise and fall of a race with numbers and fists, and full of blood.
The human race, which is still in the stage of ignorance and enlightenment, has been slaughtered and humiliated like ants by fierce beasts, demons, demons and other races.
Legend has it that the Immortal Court could not bear to be slaughtered by the human race, and sent nine holy monarchs (including the Nine True Saints including the ancestor of Wuji Immortal Mountain) to preach and teach;
The disciples of the Holy Monarch have great successes, and they have established a faction, which makes the human race rise.
The first generations of Terran monks were pioneers who overcame obstacles.
The place of seeking vitality and spiritual power, eliminating demons and evil spirits, and driving away fierce beasts, the spiritual veins of Baoshan held by the immortal sects of various sects are the 'rivers and mountains' that the ancestors worked hard with blood and sweat.
In addition to the cultivation places where the sects are located, there are also many spiritual stones mining veins;
The management and measurement mechanisms related to magnitude standards and mining specifications are inherited from the rules set by our ancestors.
Therefore, most of the monks were devoted to the Tao, and even if there was a small person who was not right, they would not dare to dare to go to the idea of mining spirit stones. At most, it is to secretly poke and poke in private, killing people and taking treasures.
The vast majority of people, such as Lu Laodao, who are poor and white, can only think of practicing hard, seeking a breakthrough in their own realm, and getting the attention of the door, so as to obtain a higher monthly income.
Of course, this bit of dead wages alone is at best starvation.
Some hard-pressed monks who are not valued by the sect and favored by the master, in order to obtain more auxiliary cultivation resources, it is not uncommon to go down the mountain to earn extra blocks in addition to demons and monsters.
If you cultivate a little higher and have enough guts, you will go to a few small states where non-human races live and evil spirits are rampant, such as near the Great Wilderness Mountain and the Beimi Mountain Range, to hunt demons and catch beasts.
If you have the strength and fill the luck slot, you can burst out the rare treasures left over from the ancient period by fighting monsters, no matter how much, however, the probability of this happening is very low.
Secondly, some powerful monks don't look down on small monsters and beasts, and they are looking for big demons above the fifth grade to start;
Again, the monks whose strength tends to be medium do not dare to go deep and only dare to kill small monsters and small beasts on the edge of the small state where demons and evil are rampant.
or peel the skin to make a treasure garment that increases defense, or increase the power of spells, or break bones to make magic weapons, etc.;
For example, the [Demon Mirror] of Laoguanhai is made of the silver bone of the Yaksha of the East China Sea;
In addition, some demon blood, beast blood, etc., can be used in medicine, and they must be squeezed to the point that there is not a drop left after death.
All in all, even if the monks are poor and crazy, they will only take risks and lick the blood with their knives to get rich.
This is another story, so let's go through it for the time being.
It is precisely in this environment that Li Changan has enough space to give full play to what he has learned in his past life and in this life.
After talking to the master about what he had done in the second step, the master happily returned to the Dan room.
Li Changan returned to the lake at this time, looked up at the big waterwheel he had built with his own hands, and felt a little relieved.
Looking at the waterwheel that was constantly rotating under the current of water, Li Changan couldn't help humming a nostalgic golden song.
"The big windmill, squeaky and squeaky and turning, the scenery here is so beautiful.
The sky is beautiful, the ground is beautiful, and there are happy friends together......"
