"Senior brother, what is a spirit stone?" Qi Changzheng asked Chen Liudong in a low voice.

"The spirit stone is a kind of jade containing spiritual energy, which can be absorbed by monks of any attribute, and the spirit stone he said is the lower grade spirit stone, and the spiritual energy contained in the lower grade spirit stone is scarce, and it is generally used as a transaction between monks. ”

"I see!" Qi Changzheng was curious, "Senior brother, how many taels of gold is a piece of low-grade spirit stone?"

"If it is exchanged for secular gold and silver, a low-grade spirit stone is estimated to be exchanged for about a hundred taels of gold, and the aura contained in the medium-grade spirit stone is a hundred times that of the lower-grade spirit stone, and if it is exchanged for gold, it will take ten thousand taels of gold, as for the high-grade spirit stone, the worldly gold and silver cannot be exchanged. ”

"Spirit stones are so valuable!" Qi Changzheng became even more curious, "Senior brother, if you exchange the Qi Condensation Pill for the Spirit Stone, how many pieces can you exchange for a Qi Condensing Pill?"

"Senior brother has a Qi Condensing Pill?" asked Chen Liudong in surprise.

Qi Changzheng nodded.

Chen Liudong said enviously: "If you look inside, it can be worth ten lower-grade spirit stones, and if it is in the outer city, it should be able to exchange for about twenty lower-grade spirit stones......"

"What are you muttering, let's go without a spirit stone, and come back with a spirit stone. The Taoist priest of the anxious son said impatiently.

"Senior brother, is it okay for the Qi Condensing Pill to pay the bill?" Qi Changzheng said as he looked at the Taoist priest.

"Of course you can!" The Taoist priest of the anxious son became interested and said with a smile: "If the junior brother exchanges the Qi Condensing Pill, the senior brother, I will calculate it for you according to one of the eleven spirit stones." ”

"Senior brother, I don't know how many spirit stones are needed for a top-grade knife?" Qi Changzheng walked to the knife holder on the right-hand side, picked up a large knife in good condition, and asked.

"A high-grade treasure knife only needs twenty spirit stones...... "The Taoist priest smiled kindly and said, "How many Qi Condensing Pills does the junior junior brother have?"

Qi Changzheng smiled and didn't respond, pointing to a few broken knives in the corner and asked, "Senior brother, how many spirit stones do these broken knives need?"

"Those are all remnants of knives that can't input Yuan Li, and it's troublesome to rebuild them back to the furnace, so they are generally discarded. ”

Qi Changzheng's eyes lit up, picked out the most broken knife, and said with a smile: "I have a few Qi Condensing Pills, but during the trial yesterday, my wrist was injured, and I didn't get better, so I could only practice with a broken knife first." Senior brother, a spirit stone is exchanged for a broken knife, and when my wrist is healed, I will exchange it for a high-grade treasure knife. ”

The Taoist priest only got a Qi Condensing Pill, which was a little disappointed, but a useless broken knife, the other party was willing to exchange a spirit stone for it, and it could be regarded as taking advantage of it. He counted ten lower-grade spirit stones to Qi Changzheng, and said with a sincere smile: "Junior brother, you have to work hard to cultivate, senior brother is waiting for you to come as soon as possible to exchange for a high-grade treasure sword." ”

Qi Changzheng put the nine spirit stones into the storage bag, and played with the remaining spirit stones in his hand, said goodbye to the Taoist priest with a smile, and walked towards the library with Chen Liudong.

"Senior brother, is there still a distribution of Qi Condensing Pills in the trial now?" Chen Liudong asked enviously.

"Didn't Senior Brother Chen have it during the trial?"

"It's a good time for you, where did we have a Qi Condensing Pill in our previous trials!" Chen Liudong sighed, "Only by becoming an inner disciple can you get a Qi Condensing Pill, and my qualifications are mediocre, and I have been cultivating for six or seven years and I am still in the initial realm of Yuan Qi, and I can only work in the outer gate, where can I be qualified to get the Qi Condensing Pill!"

"Isn't Senior Brother cultivating the Earth Exercises?"

A trace of contempt flashed in Chen Liudong's eyes, and then he said with a gloomy face: "I am a fire practice physique, and my cultivation is also a fire practice method. If it weren't for the fact that the peak master came to Tufeng and needed someone to serve me, I would still be working at the outer gate, and it would be impossible for me to get a Qi Condensing Pill rewarded by the peak master, so as to be promoted to the middle realm of vitality. ”

"Isn't it possible to promote the inner disciple in the Yuan Qi Middle Realm?" Qi Changzheng was surprised.

Chen Liudong glanced at Qi Changzheng enviously, and sighed: "How can it be so easy to promote the inner disciple, a disciple with outstanding qualifications can be admitted to the sect by the immortal master in order to become an inner disciple." It would be too difficult for disciples like us with mediocre qualifications to be promoted to inner disciples.

I'm not afraid of my brother's jokes, and I've participated in the big competition every three years. After three years of cultivation, the worst of each newcomer with outstanding qualifications has also reached the cultivation of the upper realm of vitality. Although I participate every time, where is their opponent, I can only cultivate honestly, and only when I break through the middle realm of Yuan Qi can I become an inner disciple.

But being in the outer gate, there is no spirit stone distribution, let alone elixir distribution, everything can only rely on his own penance, if he wants to be promoted to the upper realm of vitality and become an inner disciple, I don't know when it will be!"

"I didn't expect the situation of the outer disciples to be so difficult!" Qi Changzheng sighed.

"Who says it's not! Zidong and I have been appreciated by the peak master, and although we are both laborers, we are much easier. The other outer disciples worked hard, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and after a tiring day, they had to drag their tired bodies to cultivate......

If you return to the mundane, you are used to eating spiritual rice, and where can you swallow the food of the world. Although it is hard at the outer gate, at least there is a little hope......"

While the two were talking, they arrived at the library pavilion, which has two floors above and below, and the area is not small.

Chen Liudong is not a Tufeng disciple who can't enter, Qi Changzheng showed his identity nameplate and entered the library pavilion, originally wanting to avoid Chen Liudong and talk to a Tufeng disciple, but after walking upstairs and downstairs, he didn't see a Tufeng disciple.

I felt strange in my heart, and I flipped through a few volumes of exercises, but I couldn't tell the good from the bad of the exercises, and I left the library with no interest.

"Strange! I only saw one Tufeng disciple along the way, and I also left in a hurry......" Qi Changzheng walked out of the library pavilion and asked suspiciously, "Senior Brother Chen, where are they all cultivating?"

"One hole!" Chen Liudong smiled a little strangely, "Tufeng has a hall, a pavilion, a cave, and this cave is where Tufeng's disciples cultivate."

After the peak master came to Tufeng, he also named this cave 'Butterfly', hoping that the disciples of Tufeng could break out of the cocoon, and even more hope that the disciples of Tufeng could find the correct way to absorb the vitality of the earth in a difficult environment, so that Tufeng could be reborn as a butterfly and let the Daomen regain its vitality. ”

"Butterflies!"

Qi Changzheng heard the word butterfly at his feet, and a girl's voice with childishness sang from the depths of her soul:

The grass is in full bloom

The butterflies lingered for a long time

It has been recited through the ages that love is born

Shanbo forever loves Yingtai

Studying in the same bed for three years

Knee to knee and side by side, no guess

Eighteen phases are affectionate

Who knows that one is not on the platform

............

After listening to the song "Butterfly" thousands of times, when it sounded in his mind, the figure of a delicate and weak girl with a ponytail gradually appeared in Qi Changzheng's mind.

The girl's name is Zhuang Xiaodie, and she is Qi Changzheng's neighbor in her previous life, and the two who grew up together since childhood can be called childhood sweethearts.

Qi Changzheng was very slow about emotional matters, and it was not until the two of them were admitted to Fuda together that he realized that he had always liked Zhuang Xiaodie under the influence of his college roommates. Unexpectedly, it was fate that made people, and when he wanted to confess to Zhuang Xiaodie, he couldn't find her.

When I returned home during the freshman year, I learned that she was terminally ill and had passed away. Her mother gave Qi Changzheng a letter, which the girl wrote from her hospital bed, and the beginning was the lyrics of "Butterfly" that were often sung in his ear.

Qi Changzheng read the letter and knew that Zhuang Xiaodie had always liked him, and he would drag his sick body to apply for the Fuda exam, and he also hoped to accompany Qi Changzheng for more time.

This relationship, which died early before it began, had a great impact on Qi Changzheng, and the university was no longer attractive to him, so he signed up for the army in the second semester of his sophomore year. After hard training and frequent missions, he rarely thought of this girl, and he didn't even think about it after he was reborn.

I didn't expect to hear the words "Butterfly" again in Chen Liudong's mouth, which made Feng Chen's memory reverberate in my heart, and I felt a lot for a while.

"Senior brother......" Chen Liudong had already called Qi Changzheng several times, but he never got a response from him, so he waited on the side, and sighed when he saw him, before he greeted again: "It's not too early, if senior brother wants to go to the Butterfly Cave, he still needs to go early and return early, don't delay the peak master's teaching time." ”

Qi Changzheng nodded, followed Chen Liudong and walked briskly, with a faint hint of anticipation in his heart, if he could meet Zhuang Xiaodie in this world, he would definitely not miss it again. Although he knew that this was an impossible thing to happen, however, he could be reborn from the death of the mysterious, and who could explain the Heavenly Dao cycle clearly!
