Volume 1 The First Entry into the Sect Chapter 23 The Mysterious Bead
After returning to the residence, looking at the bottle of healing elixir in front of him, Xiao An had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears. Even if he tried his best, he couldn't get the Lin Pavilion Master to accept him as a disciple, which was a big loss.
Judging by his concern for Lingyue, he shouldn't treat himself like this, Lingyue's life-saving benefactor, he knew that he wouldn't be involved in this matter at that time.
Xiao An would never have thought that the problem was that after he was caught in the "heart questioning technique", because of a sentence that was not very clear, it led to the misunderstanding of the other party, and his very likely "one step to the sky" came to naught.
Xiao An, who sighed, put his frustration behind him in a blink of an eye, took out his storage bag, and began to take stock of tonight's harvest.
The first pile of items was the spirit stones, and after drawing and pulling several times, Xiao An counted clearly, three hundred and seventy-four low-level spirit stones and two middle-level spirit stones. It's not that Xiao An's IQ is a problem, the main thing is that there are too many spirit stones, which makes Xiao An, who is used to being poor, feel that a few spirit stones are all sins.
One middle-rank spirit stone is worth a hundred low-rank spirit stones, which is equivalent to five hundred and seventy-four low-rank spirit stones. And before, he only had six low-rank spirit stones in his pocket, which had almost increased a hundredfold.
For an ordinary outer disciple, he can only obtain six or seven spirit stones per month, and it is not bad to have twenty or thirty spirit stones left every year except for cultivation, purchase of magic weapons, pills, etc. And the outer disciples of the Cangyue Sect will not exceed ten years at most, and they don't know what the identity of this person is, and there are so many spirit stones.
The reason why the outer disciples did not exceed ten years was because the outer disciples who had reached ten years had all gone down the mountain. Some of these disciples who went down the mountain went to take care of the secular properties of the sect. There are also those who break away from the sect and find a place with a strong aura to do a leisurely cultivation, hoping that they will have better luck so that they can develop into a casual cultivation family.
The second pile of items is refining materials, each of which is the size of a fist.
This is a material called "wind smelting", which is the most used material in refiners. This pile is the lowest-grade wind smelting copper, and if the impurities are not removed, even the most inferior magic weapons cannot be crafted.
The easiest way to remove the impurities of the material is to use the monk's own spiritual power to constantly refine the material, and during the refining process, the impurities that hinder the operation of the spiritual energy will be cleaned up little by little. The higher the cultivation, the finer the control of the aura, and the higher the degree of compatibility of the aura, the higher the degree of compatibility of the aura, and the higher the level of magic weapons.
The pile of wind refining copper in front of him is thousands of catties, and only a small part has completed the first quenching, Xiao An estimated that these materials should be the task of the sect undertaken by the man in black, and now it is cheaper Xiao An.
The third pile of items is a pile of gold and silver from the worldly world, and even a lot of jewelry. Once upon a time, these items were Xiao An's life's pursuit, but now he has no interest in even taking a closer look, and throws them into the storage bag at will.
After putting all the belongings away, Xiao An found that there was still a bead and some bead fragments on the table.
These are the four pearls that he brought out from the library pavilion, but a few were broken when the man in black's "Falling Wood Technique" hit him, and they should have been brought out when he took out the storage bag just now.
Seeing this pearl, Xiao Anxia couldn't help but think of the moment he was hit by the "Falling Wood Technique", when he was almost certain to die, and he survived by luck.
Thinking of this, Xiao An seemed to feel the fear that was only a thin line away from death. Xiao An shook his head, not wanting to recall the scene at that time, and directly put the intact bead into the storage bag.
It's just that sometimes the more things you don't want to remember, the more they will come back to your mind. In the short time from Xiao An grabbing the beads to income to the storage bag, this scene has been replayed dozens of times in his mind.
"No" Xiao An suddenly stood still, and after repeatedly recalling the scene at that time, Xiao An had an intuition that the reason for being spared was not the backlash of the man in black's injury, but another reason.
Xiao An's mind began to recall over and over again the moment he was hit by the Falling Wood Technique, trying to find something in it.
A tremendous force spread to his chest along his coat, his storage bag, the beads in his arms, and his clothes.
The force increased rapidly in a very short period of time, and the ribs began to shatter, and at the same time, the sound of pearls shattering sounded in his arms. When the sound of ribs and pearls shattering stopped, there was no protection left in his chest, and this force would burst his heart if he continued for a little longer.
At this time, the giant tree transformed by the spell did not dissipate immediately, but lasted for about half a breath. ”
Xiao An fell into the memory, the sweat on his face became more and more, and after a while, a small pool accumulated on the table, and Xiao An's face became worse and worse.
Just when Xiao An's face was as white as snow, he finally heard Xiao An let out a long breath.
Xiao An placed the storage bag and beads on the table and began to observe carefully.
After countless memories, it was finally frozen in the moment when the sound of ribs and pearls shattering ended. At that time, the giant tree was still there, but he didn't feel the force of the giant tree's impact, which meant that something perfectly blocked the impact of the giant tree at that time.
What the hell is this? I don't have a powerful magic weapon myself, and the only suspicious items are the storage bag and these pearls.
And the storage bag is an item issued by the sect, and it is all refined in batches, and the storage bag in his hand is obviously an ordinary object, and I have not heard that the storage bag has a protective function.
Then there was only this bead left, and Xiao An put this bead in front of his eyes to observe it carefully.
The beads, which were originally round and smooth, were now full of cracks. Xiao An pinched hard, and the fine powder fell in a slump, wasn't this bead saving himself?
Just when Xiao An was a little confused, he felt that there was something in his hand, which was a bead the size of a mung bean. It turned out that the pearl was not finished shattering, and the remaining part was completely different from the pearl.
This bead, which was only the size of a mung bean, couldn't see anything on the surface, and Xiao An tried to wrap his spiritual power around the bead little by little, but he still didn't find it.
After trying several methods to no avail, Xiao An was a little frustrated and threw the beads on the table.
Xiao An, who was in a state of thinking, unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table. Xiao An forgot to withdraw the spiritual power in his hand, and the fingers containing spiritual power knocked on the tabletop and shook, and the bead was shocked and jumped everywhere on the table.
At one point, the bead rolled right under Xiao An's finger. When his fingers tapped on the beads, Xiao An suddenly woke up from his contemplation, because Xiao An found that his spiritual power began to drain,
Xiao An, who came to his senses, found that the beads were "sticking" to his fingers, and the spiritual power he had lost was "sucked" by the beads.
The speed of spiritual power loss is getting faster and faster, but no matter how Xiao An struggles, he can't take the beads off his fingers, and he can't get rid of the current situation of spiritual power loss.
After a while, the spiritual power in the dantian was exhausted, and just when Xiao An was in a hurry to find a knife, the beads finally stopped absorbing spiritual power.
Xiao An wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, if he still didn't let go after the beads had absorbed his spiritual power, it would probably cause his cultivation to regress.
After absorbing the spiritual power, the bead was soon discovered by Xiao An: there was a large space inside the bead, and the length, width and height of the space reached two zhang.
Moreover, there is a faint aura floating in this space, and these aura Xiao An is very familiar with, it is the aura that he has just been absorbed.
Could it be that this is a storage artifact? If it is really a storage artifact, you will make a lot of money. A storage magic weapon of this size would be worth hundreds of thousands of low-rank spirit stones.
